FK – We simply need to recognize that there’s no such thing as a right to work covertly or overtly to enslave those around you. Then all would fall into place, after an extended bloodletting of course.
They won’t just throw up their hands and go away after investing so much time and money.
Trump could simply ban mainstream newswhores from the press conferences and institute a lottery system so that anyone who can afford to go to the district of commie criminals or where ever there’s a W.H. press conference can show up and ask whatever they want.
He still might not like the questions though.
The word’s ‘press pass’ or ‘official newswhore’ are not in the First Amendment.
If someone tells me they blindly trust any source I know I’m dealing with a political child.
“… the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.” – Thomas Jefferson, Memoirs, Correspondence And Private Papers Of Thomas Jefferson, Ed. By T.J. Randolph
Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. Thomas Jefferson
It’s all ‘propaganda.’ All the isms lie about something. No exceptions.
FK – Nothing surprising about this. They’ve probably planned all along to sweep the dissenters off to the ‘dark net’ and make it nearly impossible to access and of course too ‘scary’ for the average dumbass sheeple to go.
What good will a vpn do if there’s nothing on the net but mainstream globo commie corporate shit?
If they shut down or restrict my site I’ll consider that to be an act of war.
FK – Here in amerika the ‘first amendment’ only acknowledges our natural born right to not be muffled by the fed. govt. Our employers can still dictate what we put on our ‘social sites’ and in our bodies when not ‘on the job’ and on and on. Corporate giants fakebook, goolag and its gootube and twitter are doing all they can to kill online ‘free speech’ as well.
It’s called communism Pat. That’s what accounts for it. Time to wake up and understand why they took your guns and that it’s time to start smuggling in what you’re soon gonna need just to survive.
It’s all a word game that too many ‘conservatives’ and ‘libertarians’ all too happily engage in to the profit of their white-skinned domestic blood enemies.
This shit has been obvious for multiple decades to the tiny minority that pays attention and screams their heads off at the herd that usually just grazes and breeds on across the pasture while passing their slavery on to their offspring.
We should be hunting the commie globalist trash to extinction but manhood is dead in western civilization.
Democracy is evil, another form of manipulation, two wolves and a sheep voting on lunch. Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote and killing the wolves. We MUST DEMAND LIBERTY!
Why choose one version of authoritarianism over another?
Well, it’s been a long morning. It’ll be a long afternoon posting this to various social media accounts for which I’ll get a handful of hits. If you appreciate anything I do or have done click on the PayPal or Patreon buttons and send some ones and zeros my way so I can pay my cell bill by Friday…
Just remember, no matter how much you send, I still won’t lie for you.

FK – Well he’s partly telling the truth. There was never a mythological ‘golden age’ of amerikan or any other brand of journalism. Most newspapers of the 18th and 19th centuries were founded to push one ism or another.
FK – The modern amerikan newswhore puts Pravda to shame. The average Soviet Citizen, especially the ones in its conquered satellite countries, probably knew it was bullshit.
Here half the population or more still watches or listens to mainstream crap like it was gospel from the ancient tribal propaganda, or better.
They prefer whores that lie to them because they prefer to be lied to. It’s far easier than taking on personal responsibility for the world they exist in. It’s far easier to sit on the couch and have another beer or wait for some false saviour to beam them up before things get too bad, which of course didn’t happen to their ancestors and won’t happen to their descendants yet they never catch on. Again, because it’s easier.
All this shit I lay directly at ‘They the People’s’ feet. We could easily fix our country if the so-called ‘good people’ would get off their asses, pay attention, think for themselves, cast off their ancient insanities/inanities and stand up for themselves and each other like real men and women.
After 20+ years of trying to get them to do their part without resorting to one extreme insanity or another I understand fully why and how the elites view us, the great unwashed working classes, the way they do.
Most of us have a slave mentality and fully deserve a whip across our backs.
The ‘super liberals'(communists/globalists) as he calls them are a tiny minority of our population. If Trump would bring the troops home and concentrate on our real enemies, that have white skin and were mostly born here, we could restore our Bill of Rights and have a new birth of Liberty.
And I can’t agree on the ‘leakers.’ Most sheeple are worker bees, more concerned with keeping their wages/salaries and retirement plans than doing anything that approaches being ‘right.’ That might require real sacrifice.
From one insanity to another:
FK – The brains of young children are sponges. What they are conditioned to accept may surface long afterwards, or at least seem tolerable.
As always we go from one insane extreme to another.
FK – The tool-using monkeys have always produced garbage. It’s just that nowadays we scatter it on the living room sofa or stream it live onto blank slates that aren’t ready to deal with it and wonder why all the flies are buzzing around our heads.
It’s that smell of death of empires wafting in the wind.
In my younger days the old ladies were having conniption fits over mini-skirts and bikinis and young men with long hair that they couldn’t tell from girls after growing up around civil war veterans with long hair and long beards decades before, and oh yeah, with pictures of long-haired, bearded heyzeuses on their walls.
How the wheels turn, form one cultural insanity to another.
I never took a gun to school but in the third grade I did fantasize about leading a revolution against school authorities with my grandfather’s 36″ barreled 12 ga. shotgun, complete with all of us kids dug in around the school, holding it under siege. Harbingers of future attitudes I suppose.
And the Bunkers were major commie propaganda, designed to make those who think like us look like uneducated buffoons. Sadly they’re about half right.
The real problem isn’t boundaries. The problem is being forced to lie about what we think they are or should be and all those without the backbone to stand up and do any damn thing about it.
Maybe we’re all on a ‘witch hunt”:
FK – Sit in a court proceeding sometime and listen to four or five sheeple give vastly different accounts of an event under oath and learn all about ‘objectivity.’
Thank goodness for the gods of high technology that most of them carry smart phones with built in video cameras now so we can still see arguments on fakebook over whether some Nazis in blue should really be allowed to drag their victims from their cars and beat them into submission, or way past submission just because they dissed those whose job it is to protect the interests of the state.
All this is so-much bush beating.
There’s never been an ‘un-biased’ newswhore and there never will be. I’m proudly biased toward Human Liberty and against the blue-suited Nazis that daily break their oaths by upholding evil law that serves to benefit the state and not ‘We the People(sheeple).’
Let me give you a clue: A lot of those ‘Ted X’ talkers are bullshit artists running their mouths for a check.
Each side of ‘the hill’ or the border or the ocean or cultural divide has a different set of indoctrinators that are writing on the blank slates of every generation. So not only are their fears based in what our ancestors learned in the forest and the cave but on some ancient tribal propaganda we haven’t outgrown yet or in some modern pseudo science that’s been politicized in the same way the ancient tribal propaganda was if only for slightly different means to the same end: keeping the slaves working.
What matters to the tool-using monkeys???? Thanks for the laugh of the morning.
Reality doesn’t matter to them. That’s more than obvious. They want a savior that will wave it’s magic wand and solve their problems for them or ride in on a white horse, a golden chariot or a flying saucer and alleviate them of all personal responsibility.
Again, the elites know this. That’s why they do what they do, however miss-guided they themselves usually are.
Maybe you’ll get to run for Prez someday or Prime Minister or whatever(I lose track of the country of origin of these YouTube stars) and get to tell the sheeple all the comfortable lies they want to hear and win, or tell them reality and lose.
I wore a seatbelt for years before the govt. mandated it for money. I wear a helmet on my motorcycle and bicycle even though by the action or inaction of our brain dead legislators that’s not ‘the law’ in this state.
Well, I guess that’s why I’ve failed as a journalist, I refuse to lie for anyone or anything. That’s not likely to change.
True ‘objectivity,’ whatever that is, won’t exist until we stop choosing one form of authoritarianism over another and stop doing evil in the name of making a living. None breathing today will likely breathe long enough to see that happen.
We have a representative republic, guaranteed to every state, not a democracy.
We have a Bill of Rights that acknowledges rights we are born with, not granted or created by any government.
We vote with the knowledge that voting is the most violent act anyone can participate in because voting is electing someone to hire someone to stick a government gun in our neighbors’ faces and force our version of reality on them at the threat of their very lives.
We stand ready to protect our Liberty and the Liberty of our neighbors, not destroy it, via any version of authoritarianism, of any age or place.
We are prepared with knowledge and force of arms to make war against and kill if necessary those who would destroy our Bill of Rights whether they represent domestic or foreign enemies.
We do not lie to ourselves, our families, our friends, our business associates, our descendants, our enemies, about these things and do not EVER tolerate those who would have us do so.
If the troops were fighting for our freedom they’d all be here.
FK – It’s becoming increasingly clear that Trump’s purpose is to placate ‘the right’ and try to avert a true ‘civil war’ that the elites know they couldn’t win.
And Info wars and other ‘alt right’ YouTubers need to get way from the evil Google and create their own video site that will attract the brain dead sheeple and expose them to reality.
FK – Well he certainly wasn’t on the commie news network. So what do purposes do the brits have for letting him run his mouth in such a manner? Not that I disagree with much of it.
Who’s our greatest enemy? Those who build the Trojan Horse or those who open the gate?
Nothing will get better until we stop worrying so much about the fundie ragheads and start rounding up and at the least deporting our real enemies, our domestic enemies.
So who or what is our real enemy? A tiny no. of fundies who manage to kill a few mush heads now and again or our own white home-grown “Liberal”(commie) trash that works relentlessly to disarm and thus fully enslave millions?
What will we do when a commie SCOTUS rules it’s OK for the “Liberal”(commie) trash, our real enemies, to demand we ‘turn them in?’ How many cowards will comply? Those are the questions that matter.
What’s an ‘illegal gun?’ Those two words are nowhere to be found in the Second Amendment. A right applied for is a privilege.
Was the last ‘mass shooting’ site a ‘gun free zone?” Why are commiefornia and others still ‘may issue’ states? Why do we seek ‘permission’ to exercise the most basic right any creature possesses, that of self defense?
If the Marxist mutt and other commie extremists that call themselves ‘liberal’ and ‘progressive’ tell us to surrender our weapons and thus our most basic right, they’ll find out what blood really is.
The most important ‘private property’ anyone owns is their own life, health, safety, and no one, anywhere, anytime has the ‘right’ to take that from them or deny them their most basic right, that of self defense.
We all get the elected public servants the brain dead sheeple deserve.
I’ll vote for the candidate that will bring the troops home, activate the militias, and re-invade and re-conquer commiefornia and the other commie enclaves on the left and East coasts.
They’re not ‘leftists,’ ‘liberal’ or ‘progressive.’ They’re communists/globalists. They want us disarmed so we can’t kill them when enough finally wake up to the necessity of doing so.
Our Liberty is dying because of our failure to hunt the “Liberal”(commie) and globalist trash to extinction.
And this one almost leaves me speechless, well not really. See my standard answer above:
FK – Why didn’t you ask him a pertinent question: Who or what let the fundie ragheads into your country and were you in favor of it?
WHO’S LETTING THEM IN????!!!!!! WHO ARE OUR REAL ENEMIES!!!!???? YES I’M SHOUTING, AND FOR VERY DAMN GOOD REASON!!! STOP PRETENDING THE REAL PROBLEM DOESN’T EXIST AND STOP DENYING WHAT WE’RE GONNA HAVE TO DO ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!
The killer bees of fake news Barry Bright – March 3, 2017
Several years back I ate in a small country restaurant in Western Kentucky near some spot-on-the-road town that had its 15 minutes, or paragraphs, of fame framed on the diner’s wall.
The story was from what passed as ‘fake news‘ in those days, at least in the mind of the average sheeple, one of those checkout line tabloids that regularly broke stories about three-headed alien babies visiting the White House.
Allegedly there had been an attack by ‘killer bees‘ in the area, and some people really were stung by honey bees or hornets, I forget, but it wasn’t the big deal the ‘reporters’ had made it out to be.
People actually bought those papers or they wouldn’t have been printed. Sheeple actually believe a lot of garbage or it wouldn’t be produced, sometimes for centuries, or spewed from the mouths of educators, preachers, entertainers, newswhores or politicians.
That stinging story did the same thing all propaganda does in mixing fact and reality. As in there really is a UFO phenomena that most don’t want to think or talk about because it makes them uncomfortable, and for years before the internet politicians would regularly run campaigns based on nothing more than ‘change’ or lower taxes or ‘helping the poor’ or some other simple-minded goobledygook.
Politicians got away with their subterfuge because the average voter, then as now, would rather die than think or take on real personal responsibility for the world they exist in. They often just want to vote for “…the man that’ll “do somethin’ fer me.“
We have a representative republic here, not a democracy, which means we elect supposedly superior, educated, thinking, logical, talented, honest, experienced, successful members of our insane human cultures to make important decisions for us. Take all that with a buck-fifty to the truck stop and they’ll give you a cup of coffee.
This means it’s incumbent on the rest of us to pay attention to what these elected public SERVANTS are doing for and to us and to hold them accountable. This is why I’ve maintained for some while now we need a granite gallows in front of every govt. building and a local militia force to make sure it doesn’t fall into disuse.
But back to the newswhores. While working as one back in the 80s I saw that a lot of garbage is produced in the name of meeting deadlines and justifying paychecks. Now we have an internet full of it and an unsuspecting public armed with brand new smart phones that are not only introducing them to the very useful global encyclopedia that is the internet but all the shiny baubles and dark corners that come with it, or rather that come with real freedom and Liberty.
Back in the 90s the net was mostly patriots or at least it was to me. It was the only place to go for ‘real’ not commie or globalist, now ‘fake’ news.
Actually it’s laughable that the mainstream newswhores tried to label us as fake. But that’s a discussion for several books. I explained my reasons for this website several years back, in my early stages of waking up.
We’ve had the internet for 20 years now so in reality there’s simply no excuse for the willful ignorance I see around me every day. But the smart phone phenomena is stressing how many had never owned personal computers or how many have gone on line over time and been exposed to realities they didn’t want to deal with so they shut their computers off and went back to reality TV or sports or soaps or church or whatever their favorite brain-numbing garbage was/is.
Now that smart phones are part of most sheeples’ daily reality they’re also on the social sites or whatever and sometimes seeing bits of information their little brains repel from because it doesn’t mesh with what they’ve been spoonfed all their existences at home, in school or Sunday school or on the evening propaganda cast.
Part of this as I’ve experienced recently is the habit many have, developed along with the skill of texting, of reading a headline and emotionally reacting to it, leaving a nasty response, or an emoje or whatever, without bothering to actually follow a link and turn their inner brains on long enough to actually analyze what someone is desperately trying to get them to understand and share.
My mistake is in assuming that I’m dealing with intelligent adults on fakebook and other places that realize a header might not represent all the info contained therein.
Back to the ‘fake’ news. How to tell if a news site is ‘fake’:
Since propaganda, and it’s ‘all’ propaganda, without exception, is a mixture of ‘truth,’ or ‘facts’ and reality, what exactly is fake? This is another subject we could spend years and countless nights around campfires maybe pointlessly arguing over.
Let’s just go ahead and realize that the globalists and the commies and Marxist front groups they fund are and have been working covertly and overtly to enslave us all for decades, really centuries. Those who claim they want to return us to some sort of global plantation, if we’re not already there, are not far off the mark.
With these realities in mind, a short guide to how to judge ‘fake’ news:
In journalism school we’re taught that a good reporter looks for the ‘who, what, why, when, where and how.’ Later on with experience a reporter learns to look for the funding and to develop an inline lie detector because most interviewees will be lying about something, either directly or indirectly.
If a story doesn’t have a good representation of some the above w’s and an h or two that’s a bad sign. The net nowadays is full of he/said she/reported and so and so’s cousin, employer, political or religious savior or whatever claims this or that. Sort of like how it’s always been but now the average mush head is much more exposed to it than they were in the check out line.
In the last year or so there’s been almost an explosion(one of those dramatic words we writers like to use) of ‘conservative'(loosely defined) or patriot or whatever ‘fake news’ sites. Beforeitsnews comes to mind. Go study their ‘style.’ That’s what I’m writing about.
Then go read something on the new yawk slimes. That’s the opposite end of the spectrum. Their ‘journalistic style’ may be impeccable but they’re still lying garbage that should’ve been lined up against the wall or walked up the gallows steps long ago.
See how hard and easy this can be?
A professor in college told us to not be afraid to ‘read along the fringe.’ I have no clue if he’d think I stepped off the fringe into free space long ago or not. I wouldn’t know/understand/still wonder about what I do now if I hadn’t. But one still has to use some form of judgment.
Now for the easy part: Just because you’ve always been told something is/isn’t true doesn’t mean it is/isn’t.
Just because a headline or article seems to ‘attack’ your newest or oldest object of worship doesn’t mean it really does or isn’t doing what all ‘real journalism’ should be doing: not letting anyone, or any institution, or group or government or ideology off easy.
In a free country there’s no such thing as a group or an individual whose motives can’t be questioned. When we have that we have a serious problem. We have a serious problem. In fact we have several.
Human history is a story of climbing out of a well of darkness where some think they were told they deserved to be tortured alive in fire forever for choosing independent thought over blind obedience. Sadly many are still there and will waste their time in this world waiting for it to end. And we let them vote.
Others blindly put their blind faith and blind patriotism into Earthly or otherwise saviors who are no more deserving of it than any god.
Climbing out of the well involves clinging to all sides when the occasion demands. Sometimes there are poisonous snakes on one side and killer bees on the other and there’s always casualties.
And as the ancient book of tribal propaganda claims, I think in this case very truthfully, “They shall cry ‘peace’ and safety,” and there will be none.
We’re better off demanding Liberty, and justice for those who think they can make a living lying the rest of us into their version of slavery.
We’ve all been turned into mental goldfish so we can focus on the clickbait?
I’ve certainly become more picky about what I call a ‘friend.’ Most ‘friends’ end up expecting me to be like them and sadly most of the time there’s little to nothing about their existence in this world that I envy. Here in the suburbs of podunk finding someone who can have more than a 30 second conversation about something that actually matters is a lifelong quest in itself. The cities aren’t much better in reality. The average sheeple would rather die than think.
The net is a tool like any other that can be used for good or ill. The mistake is that we as the common sheeple allow evil players into our systems and our elected public servants assist them in their evil in the name of false security.
Let me know when I can have my own stand alone holodeck.
How long till we’re all sitting on the curb?:

FK – Anti-war left dead as a dodo? Really? WTF planet are you on?
Wanna bet Soros or whatever rich sick globalist bastard succeeds him will have commie robots on the streets carrying signs and demanding ‘just-us?’
Those without the intelligence or skill sets to run the robots can return to the land and garden for a subsistence. Just ask the Venus project or whatever. Of course they also want to bulldoze all the major cities! :0
What about those who watch NWNW on their TVs? They can be hooked up to computers and thus the net now ya know. I’m watching this and other YouTube propaganda on a 24″ monitor which at one time was a ‘big’ TV.
And I’ll admit I did forward this on fakebook. Even if he didn’t say it, it’s easy to imagine him or his former ‘friends‘ doing so. And the sad truth is it’s not far off the mark.
The controversial gaggle was held in White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer‘s office. “This is an unacceptable development by the Trump White House,” CNN said in a statement. On top of being unacceptable, the move by the White House may also be illegal and unconstitutional. It is one thing for the Trump campaign or even the DNC to ban certain journalists from rallies or press conferences. But, Trump is now the President, and as a government official, he answers to the taxpayers and the Constitution.
“It’s unconstitutional when President Trump has said he doesn’t like CNN and the New York Times and then excludes them from a press conference. It’s a content-based ban and the government generally cannot enact laws or restrictions that punish speech based or restrict public access based on content. Courts have held that a government press conference is a public forum generally open to the media, and any restrictions must be based on reasons other than content,” First Amendment attorney and LawNewz columnist Susan Seager said.
FK – The words ‘press pass’ are not found in the First Amendment. Neither is ‘official,’ or ‘real’ or ‘fake’ or ‘mainstream’ or ‘trained journalist’ or ‘journalism degree’ or commie news network or faux nuze or new yawk slimes or big city daily or tabloid or blog or google or network news or corporate news or robber baron or ‘fit-to-print’ or gatekeepers or a lot of other damn stuff.
Get the drift yet?
White House press conferences have never been open to the public. Just try to get permission to attend one as an independent journalist or even a citizen who happens to own a modern ‘press’ i.e. a blog or website or YouTube channel.
They need to be held in stadiums and Joe Schmo who has just as much ‘freedom of the press’ as any ‘official’ card carrying commie mainstream newswhore should be able to ask any question he chooses of any prez, commie, or ‘conservative’ or faker or whatever.
But we don’t live in that world do we? Not yet. I haven’t given up hope that finally some occupant of the now orange house, formerly the now red house, will do something so arrogant that millions of real Americans, not amerikans, will use the Second Amendment as it was intended and rectify our situation and erect a granite gallows in front of every govt. building and station a militia unit there to make sure it doesn’t fall into disuse.
Did someone once say “Hang the lawyers first?” If not they should have. Really, I’d kill the newswhores first.
When it comes to our Liberty the Bill of Rights is the precedent and WE THE PEOPLE are the final arbiter of our rights, not any group of black-robed shysters or elected, hired or appointed public SERVANTS!
The latest “explosive” fake news is that “multiple US officials with direct knowledge” told CNN that they have “classified documents” that Russia has compromising documents on Trump that would allow them to blackmail the US President. The documents consist of memos compiled by a former British intelligence operative “whose past work US intelligence officials consider credible.”
According to antiwar.com “the dossier claimed several figures in the Trump campaign were in league with the Russian government during the campaign, and that Russia had been conspiring with them to groom Trump as an ally for ‘at least five years.’ It also claims exchanges of information between Trump and the Kremlin for ‘at least eight years,’ . . . The dossier names former Trump adviser Carter Page, his personal lawyer Michael Cohen, as well as incoming National Security Adviser Michael Flynn as having personally and repeatedly met with Kremlin officials on anti-Clinton leaks.”
FK – I personally don’t think Trump has that much to fear, except maybe a stray bullet from a crazed commie indoctrinated by the mind poison spewed out by the mainstream newswhores:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZZEQRbFO-g
FK – The ‘Russian hacking’ is simply the propaganda stream they’ve chosen to push. Nothing new about this process.
There’s never or very rarely been ‘real reporters’ in this country. Newspapers of the 18th and 19th centuries were usually established to push one party line or another. Then the robber barons bought them out in the early 20th century and allowed the commie infiltration. To what ends? This is chess not checkers.
When the amerikan communist insurgency feels pushed far enough into a political corner a percentage of them will come out swinging.
I’m not for sending them to camps. For many it’s way too late for ‘re-education.’ We’ve had the net for 20 years now. It’s too easy to find out how evil the evil twins of socialism and gun control are yet the evil ones persist in trying to shove both down our throats at the point of a govt. gun. Have the klintons, Soros, et al turned from their evil?
Banishment and eradication should be the only goals of the next blood war.
FK – I have little doubt that much of the ammo and weapons bought in recent years has gone into commie hands. They are historically more organized and willing to spill blood than those on the ‘political right’ who are often blinded by their inability to understand that every time their ‘liberal'(Amerikan) ‘friends’ vote they vote to kill them.
FK – Commiecrat parasites actually ‘read?’ Oh, that’s funny.
They don’t need ‘evidence’ they simply need to repeat the same lies over and over again until they are accepted. Who said that was a good procedure? Look it up.
It’s ‘all’ propaganda and a sham. Every ‘side’ ignores those aspects of human behavior/reality they find inconvenient.
We have a 200-year-history of ‘election fraud’ of various kinds and of ‘foreign influence’ in our policies, laws, whatever. Some claim the War for Southern Independence was brought about partly by British influence in their quest for global dominance.
FK – In all honestly, who the hell would want to waste time reading it? It’s so much easier to take the word of the talking heads and go vote for a check or to get one’s false conscience soothed.
And to throw in a little levity, showing how shallow our domestic blood enemies’ propaganda usually is:
FK – Julie is far cuter than streep ever wished it was. Never could understand its popularity.
FK – I have a hard time thinking the watchers gave up their petri dish to the tool using monkeys.
The other day I saw a report that claimed the I.Q. of the human species is actually increasing. Couldn’t tell by recent election results.
Hollywood movies, like the ancient tribal propaganda, are juiced up versions of reality, to sell movie tickets and to keep us looking for boogie men under our beds when in fact they’re in our schools, our high offices and our church pulpits. The alien franchise is sci fi horror.
So the god that’s going to burn most of humanity alive in fire forever is coming to save us? Makes me feel better.
I won’t blindly trust the first bunch that reveals themselves, nor the second, nor the 2,002nd nor any of them. Blind faith is what got us into this mess. It won’t get us out.
