Will Roe V Wade Overturn Be the Inciting Incident for an Impending Civil Proxy War?

By ,

We’ve officially crossed the Rubicon folks, and the culture war seems to be on the verge of a gruesome crescendo. The Supreme Court has sided with the state of Mississippi and overturned Roe v. Wade. Laws related to abortion will now once again be decided by the states. 

Justice Samuel Alito asserted that Roe was “egregiously wrong” and had been “on a collision course with the Constitution from the day it was decided.”

“Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote. “Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences. And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have enflamed debate and deepened division.”

Mississippi took the case to the Supreme Court, arguing that both Roe and Casey should be overturned. They cited evidence that fetuses can feel pain as early as ten weeks. Oral arguments were made before the court in December 2021.

On May 2, 2022, a draft opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito was leaked to Politico. In the draft, he wrote that “it is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”

To absolutely no one’s surprise, the leak prompted a wave of protests and backlash against conservative justices, including the firebombing of pro-life pregnancy centers and a foiled assassination plot against Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

The response to the leak was bad enough, but now that Roe is officially overturned, there are many indications arising which suggest things could get quite heated in regards to the ongoing culture war.

In the wake of the SCOTUS decision, abortion activists were filmed handing out the home address of Justice Clarence Thomas to fellow protestors outside of the Supreme Court.

The pro-abortion group Ruth Sent Us, who originally doxed the justices and called for protests at their homes, has now called for a protest at the home of Justice Thomas on the evening the opinion was announced.

The focus on Thomas is likely due to a concurring opinion he’d written regarding Roe v. Wade reiterating his view that the due process clause does not protect a right to an abortion. He also stated that the court  “should reconsider” previous rulings from SCOTUS codifying rights to contraception access, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage.

Thomas wrote, “…in future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell. Because any substantive due process decision is demonstrably erroneous.”

Former President Barack Obama and multiple other Democrat politicians have begun to stoke the flames of civil unrest. 

Obama isn’t the only one priming the public for potentially violent action, Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters, the self-appointed ambassador of all black women, responded by telling Americans the Supreme Court has no power to make the decision. “The hell with the Supreme Court! We will defy them!” she threatened, “black women will be out in droves—we will be out by the millions!” She also warned that “black women” will not be intimidated.

Many are claiming that these calls to action are inciting violence in the same fashion it was claimed that Donald Trump incited the Jan. 6th insurrection. The Department of Homeland Security Thursday night warned Catholic churches and pro-life pregnancy centers to be prepared for a “night of rage” by pro-abortion terrorist groups if Roe v Wade gets overturned by the Supreme Court.

Another important aspect of this situation are the ‘trigger bans’ in separate states, meaning abortion immediately becomes illegal once Roe is overturned.

26 states total will likely ban abortion or have a near ban via the Guttmacher Institute:

  1. Alabama—Pre-Roe ban, Near-total ban, State constitution bars protection
  2. Arizona—Pre-Roe ban
  3. Arkansas—Pre-Roe ban, Trigger ban, Near-total ban
  4. Georgia—Six-week ban
  5. Idaho—Trigger ban, Six-week ban
  6. Iowa—Six-week ban
  7. Kentucky—Trigger ban, Six-week ban
  8. Louisiana—Trigger ban, Near-total ban, Six-week ban, State constitution bars protection
  9. Michigan—Pre-Roe ban
  10. Mississippi—Pre-Roe ban, Trigger ban, Six-week ban
  11. Missouri—Trigger ban, Eight-week ban
  12. North Dakota—Trigger ban, Six-week ban
  13. Ohio—Six-week ban
  14. Oklahoma—Pre-Roe ban, Trigger ban (effective November 1, 2021), Near-total ban, Six-week ban
  15. South Carolina—Six-week ban
  16. South Dakota—Trigger ban
  17. Tennessee—Trigger ban, Six-week ban, State constitution bars protection
  18. Texas—Pre-Roe ban, Trigger ban, Six-week ban
  19. Utah—Trigger ban, Near-total ban
  20. West Virginia—Pre-Roe ban, State constitution bars protection
  21. Wisconsin—Pre-Roe ban
  22. Wyoming—Trigger ban

An additional four states have political composition, history and other indicators—such as recent actions to limit access to abortion—that show they are likely to ban abortion as soon as possible without federal protections in place.

  1. Florida—In 2021, the state legislature attempted to ban abortion at 20 weeks of pregnancy and an effort to adopt a Texas-style six-week ban was publicized. In April 2022, a 15-week abortion ban was enacted that is scheduled to go into effect in July.
  2. Indiana—In the past decade, the legislature has enacted 55 abortion restrictions and bans, paving the way for a comprehensive ban.
  3. Montana—For the first time in nearly a decade, new abortion restrictions were enacted in 2021, including restrictions on medication abortion and abortion at 20 weeks of pregnancy. (These restrictions currently cannot be enforced due to a court order.)
  4. Nebraska—Although not one of the most prolific states on enacting abortion restrictions, it was the first to adopt a 22-week ban (in 2010), and in 2020, enacted a ban on the standard method for abortion after 15 weeks.

While we hope that no one will be harmed in the fallout, if the riots of 2020 were any indication that the population was capable of keeping protests peaceful then chances are relatively high that we will see some collateral damage. The real question is whether or not this, in addition to other mounting disagreements, is something that can be mitigated without resorting to a “peaceful divorce” or worse yet, a civil war. 

Technocracy 101: If Fed and CDC Are ‘Independent,’ Elections Mean Nothing

By ,

Ben Bartee,
June 22nd, 2022

Basic civics recap: the US president, per the Constitution, is the elected executive. That means he is tasked with executing government functions.

He is granted – again, through a theoretically democratic election process – the authority to dictate government activities within the confines of the laws. The legislative branch passes laws; the judicial branch vets them for constitutionality; the executive implements them.

The process, as designed, is not at all vague.

How odd, then, that the Biden White House press secretaries – first Jen Psaki and now the admitted diversity hire Karine Jean-Pierre – repeatedly undermine their own president’s executive authority.

Whenever they’re asked about Federal Reserve or CDC (Centers for Disease Control) policies — government agencies under the umbrella of executive authority — they refuse to give a straight answer on the grounds that the government body in question is “independent.”

“The Federal Reserve is independent. We leave them to make their own policy decisions. We do not get involved in that.”
-Karine Jean-Pierre, WH spokeswoman

The WH has the same hands-off approach to the dictates of the CDC and the shadowy, unelected “experts” who set its policies.

Here’s just one example (you can literally find one from every WH press conference), on the unscientific CDC “travel bans” from abroad last year despite COVID being already widespread in the US:

“Psaki: We are always going to be guided by our North Star — and that is the CDC and our health and medical experts.”
…
Reporter: The Delta variant is already dominant in the U.S., so how does keeping people from foreign countries out, like, protect people in the U.S.?
…
Psaki:  I’m not a doctor or a medical expert.  I think that that would best be posed to a member of the CDC… But I think their decision was made based on the fact that the Delta variant is more transmissible.”
–White House Press Briefing, July 26, 2021

And on the mask mandate issue – even after a federal court struck down the airline mask mandate – Psaki came out and publicly “disagreed” with the court’s decision because, she declared, the CDC is in charge:

“[The Department of Justice] indicated that they would appeal, not just because they think it’s entirely reasonable, of course, to have this additional time to look at it but because they think that for current and future public health crises, we want to preserve that authority for the CDC to have in the future.”
–White House Press Briefing, April 20, 2022

Consequential decisions with life or death implications are theirs, not your (theoretically) elected leaders’!

Who “they” are, exactly, remains unclear, as no one ever actually cites the specific “experts” referenced by name.

“Experts say“= “shut up and obey, ignorant serf. The Science© Gods run the show now. They speak through their conduit, His Grace Anthony Fauci.”

Turning off your mental faculties in blind submission symbolizes your good faith.

Psaki: ‘Sir Fauci of the independent NIH has decreed this duck is a cat. Jot that down, loyal subjects, for dissemination to the peasants.’

WH Press Corps: ‘Without delay, Slay Queen.’

—————–

This is fundamental stuff that can’t be lost on even the most distracted ADHD-afflicted voter.

If government agencies act independently — meaning elected leaders have no influence over their operations — then what’s the point of participation in elections?

Voting becomes ceremonial democratic ritual minus the actual democracy.

No one elected the CDC head to do anything. Ditto with DHS Secretary, the DOD Secretary, NIH Director Warlord Fauci, et al.

But it gets deeper. At least those department figureheads are appointed by a theoretically elected leader, so there’s arguably some tangential democratic tether connecting them to the will of the voters.

But what about the multinational Deep State — the real policy setters never discussed in the New York Times or on MSNCB — who linger in the shadows from administration to administration, who set policy priorities passed down from the international level?

 

“What we are very proud of, is that we penetrate the global cabinets of countries with our WEF Young Global Leaders.”

Top politicians are no longer selected by corrupt in-house Boss Hog-like political machines, which would be bad enough. The nomination process for American leadership is now offshored to a real-life technocratic Dr. Evil, headquartered overseas and adorned in menacing dystopian techno-garb like a Star Trek villain.

Musk: the president isn’t the president

I have long said that Biden is a disposable puppet president. Now, Elon Musk, who has much greater reach, has publicly agreed.

Lots of well-intentioned dissident commentators often repeat the rhetoric that “Biden did this,” “Biden did that.”

Biden doesn’t do anything. The most he can be said to do is to parrot his talking points on cue, but he barely ever makes it out of the basement for that. And when he does fumble through them, he’s barely coherent.

The implication of “Biden did that, what a bad guy” is that driving him out of office will solve anything. It won’t.

Getting rid of Biden, while a plus, will do nothing to cripple and usurp the Deep State power structure.

Once Biden inevitably goes, the technocratic ruling class will simply replace him with a new titular puppet. And the agenda will continue uninterrupted.

—————

Things might not be as hopeless as they might seem – if we take the right lessons.

Elections at the local level, for instance, to elect county commissioners who make practical decisions daily do count far more than national-level ones.

Decoupling from the multinational corporate technocracy isn’t going to be painless, but it’s doable with the proper paradigm shifts.

Globalization is the disease; localization is the cure.

WHO is Set to Decide Whether Monkeypox Should be Elevated to ‘Public Health Emergency’ Status

By ,

June 23rd, 2022

The World Health Organization is set to decide this Thursday whether it will declare Monkeypox a global health emergency.

The WHO, a United Nations agency, declared back in January that the virus was an emergency, the upcoming decision will potentially see the threat level rise to “public health emergency of international concern”, which, according to Reuters, is the WHO’s highest level of alert.

Monkeypox does not appear to spread nearly as easily as COVID but it has still raised alarm.

The case count from the current outbreak outside of Africa has topped 3,000 in more than 40 countries, according to a Reuters tally – largely among men who have sex with men – since it was first reported in May. As of yet, there have been no reports of deaths.

The WHO will convene a closed meeting of experts at 12 p.m. (1000 GMT) in Geneva. It remains unclear when the decision will be announced.

Author’s Opinion:  It is uncertain what steps if any will be taken, but if the COVID debacle of 2020 is any indication, if there is wealth to be made, then it’s a sure bet those who are in the know have already positioned themselves to do so, that is including those who have the power to hype up an otherwise non-threat.

Landmark Lawsuit Filed Against Joe Biden By Missouri AG for Colluding with Big-Tech

By ,

June 22nd, 2022

Back in May, Missouri’s Attorney General Eric Schmitt’s office filed a lawsuit against the Biden Administration. Naturally, the landmark suit was completely omitted from the mainstream media.

Just last week, AG Schmitt landed a big blow against Biden by filing a motion to prohibit the censorship conspiracy immediately.

You can read a copy of the lawsuit HERE

The AG’s suit against the Biden Admin. also sues some other deserving people and agencies, including:

  • Joe Biden, himself
  • Anthony Fauci
  • The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
  • The Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
  • DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas
  • The CyberSecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)
  • The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
  • Former Ministry of Truth head Nina “Mary Poppins” Jankowicz
  • Former Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki
  • And several more agencies and officials

The suit, brought along with the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office, is filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana.

It’s certainly a long-overdue step in the right direction. Anyone who has dared to challenge the establishment narrative on things like COVID Lockdowns, election fraud, or the Hunter Biden Laptop has been met with outrageous censorship. It is not uncommon to see things like:

  • sudden account termination;
  • account suspension;
  • imposing warnings or “strikes” against accounts to chill future speech;
  • shadow-banning;
  • demonetizing content;
  • adjusting algorithms to suppress or de-emphasize speakers or messages;
  • promoting or demoting content;
  • placing warning labels on content (“This Article’s Claims are False”);
  • suppressing content in OTHER users’ feeds;
  • promoting negative comments on disfavored content; and
  • requiring additional click-throughs to access content, among others.

Let’s hope the Court appreciates the severity of the Constitutional deprivations that have occurred and continue to occur to millions of Americans on a daily basis.

Ghislaine Maxwell Flexes Her Clout to Solicit Lesser Sentence

By ,

Ryan DeLarme
June 22nd, 2022

Disgraced British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell is now invoking her political connections in a bid to receive a lower sentence for the crime of trafficking underage girls.

Though Ghislaine Maxwell may be among the most reviled members of high society, you have to hand it to her, she’s done great things. After all, she’s tied to such prestigious organizations as the Clinton Foundation and even helped to launch the unquestionably benevolent Clinton Global Initiative.

The Daily Mail reports:

Ghislaine Maxwell used her connections to Bill Clinton in an effort to get herself a lower sentence for trafficking underage girls for Jeffrey Epstein.

The disgraced socialite pointed to her work for the former President’s philanthropic endeavors three times as she argued she should serve just four years in jail at her sentencing on June 28th.

Maxwell claimed that helping launch the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) demonstrated she has a ‘desire to do good in the world’.

Maxwell, 60, will be sentenced next Monday after she was found guilty of trafficking and sexually abusing underage girls last December.

It’s no secret that Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell have intimate ties with the Clintons, particularly Bill Clinton. We know that the former president met with Epstein at least 17 times in the Whitehouse alone, not to mention 26 flights on the lolita express.
