Saul Alinsky was a brilliant man. Evil, but brilliant. Unfortunately, whether we like it or not, everyone on the Left from the President on down is playing by his rules in the political arena. Not all liberals have read his book or know his name, but his tactics have become universal. Sadly for conservatives, when two evenly matched forces go head-to-head outside of a fairy tale, the side that tries to play nice usually ends up with its head in a box. So, don't lie or become an evil person like Alinsky, but learn from what he wrote and give...

Is it possible to create parallel Americas without instigating a separation? In Year One of the Biden Revolutionary Calendar, Democrats, the left, and the globalist clique are in high spirits. They’ve resumed the four years stalled wonderous “transformation” of America, and they’re doing so with a literal vengeance. These Jacobins won’t end up transforming the country, though. No, what they’re setting in motion is the law of unintended consequences. They want to radically change America through sheer imposition, dominance, and by curtailing basic rights. In fact, as this is written, they’re off to a swell start driving a deeper wedge...

A voting technology company is suing Fox News, three of its top hosts and two former lawyers for Donald Trump – Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell – for $2.7bn. The lawsuit charges that the defendants conspired to spread false claims that the company helped “steal” the US presidential election, which was in fact fairly won by Joe Biden. The 285-page complaint filed on Thursday in New York state court by Florida-based Smartmatic USA is one of the largest libel suits ever undertaken. Dominion Voting Systems sues Giuliani for $1.3bn over baseless election claims Read more On 25 January, a rival...

Can we sell the “Trump is a traitor” lie, saying he collaborated with Putin to steal the election? Can we say that he is “Putin’s Puppet”? Can we continue to sell that lie even after a 40 million dollar investigation found that it was false? Can we sell the lie that borders for a country are racist, and that Trump and his supporters are racist for wanting a secure border? Can we sell the lies that Trump refuses to condemn neo-Nazis – that he said “they are good people” – that Trump and his followers are white supremacists? Will this...

The king of Vatican City, Jorge Bergoglio, has announced that he will receive the Pfizer COVID-19 coronavirus vaccine in early January, and that it is his desire this vaccine become universal, and given to everyone in the whole world. This is nothing more than grooming for the coming Mark of the Beast which will also be distributed by the Vatican in the very near future. Pope Francis to Receive Pfizer Vaccine Against Coronavirus FROM BREITBART NEWS: The Vatican will launch its vaccination program against the coronavirus during the first quarter of 2021, which will also allow the pope to travel...

We should start playing by their rules. We’ve seen them in use for years. Time to turn the tables. From the Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky?

Francis’s new encyclical reads like a UN mission statement. To celebrate the memory of Saint Francis of Assisi, to whom his pontificate is consecrated, Pope Francis has honored us with a long encyclical entitled Fratelli Tutti, or “All Brothers.” I doubt that this text will become a bestseller among the faithful, though all Catholics are urged to pay heed to such pronouncements. For those who, like me, are not Catholic, these texts are still worth analyzing as reflections of the spirit of the times and the intellectual atmosphere at the Vatican. Fratelli Tutti, unsurprisingly, confirms the pope’s solid positioning on...

Of all the ways identity politics is used as a tool to sow hatred among people where there should be the potential for friendship, “critical race theory” is one of the gravest offenders..Indeed, the tactics used by proponents of critical race theory share many parallels with old tactics used by the Bolsheviks. As such, federal employees and those who work for corporations that do business with the federal government sucked into the poisonous vortex of critical race theory can thank President Trump for ordering a stop to the promulgation of critical race theory. Thanks should also be sent to scholar...

Joe Biden today is a puppet of the Democrat Leftist Alinsky radical socialist wing. AOC and Biden have appeared together advocating the radicalization of our citizenry over political issues such as filling RBG's vacant SCOTUS seat. When we look back, we see a very different Joe Biden, and so, when we view that video, we can see just how radical Joe now has become, how Joe toees himself as a sail to whatever ideological ride to power happens to come along. Watch this video and decry the psychopomp that is Joe Biden, They ALL belong in the dust bin of...

Stages of Genocide The Ten Stages of Genocide By Dr. Gregory H. Stanton[1] © 2016 Gregory H. Stanton Genocide is a process that develops in ten stages that are predictable but not inexorable. At each stage, preventive measures can stop it. The process is not linear. Stages may occur simultaneously. Logically, later stages must be preceded by earlier stages. But all stages continue to operate throughout the process. ➔ 1. CLASSIFICATION: All cultures have categories to distinguish people into “us and them” by ethnicity, race, religion, or nationality: German and Jew, Hutu and Tutsi. Bipolar societies that lack mixed categories,...

All of these things have been done by the cultural and political left over the last 50 years. The first thing you would do is take control of the education system and teach children that they are living in an evil country. Then you would undermine the police, the military, and law enforcement. You’d use every opportunity you can to divide people by race, religion, and class. You would attack churches, too. You’d teach children that there is no God, thus eliminating an important way of transcending racial tension, which is the knowledge that we are all created equal by...

June 17, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – What in the world is happening in cities across America? Is it a peaceful, spontaneous modern civil rights movement, or is it a planned and orchestrated seditious revolution? We will show you how the violent riots tearing American cities apart are part of the anti-American, anti-Trump Resistance movement. We will also show how the Resistance effort itself is part of a long string of Marxist efforts aimed at destroying what is left of Christian civilization in America, and how George Soros is likely playing a leading role in causing this mayhem. If you would like...

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany defended President Trump’s tweet that falsely accused a 75-year-old anti-racism protester who was shoved to the ground by police of being an “ANTIFA provocateur.” The president’s tweet appeared to reference a segment that aired on OANN, a right-wing network that routinely disseminates conspiracy theories. “They’re questions that need to be asked,” McEnany said of Trump’s tweet, which offered zero evidence to back up his claim. She accused the protester, longtime peace activist Martin Gugino, of having posted “some very questionable” and “profanity-laden” tweets about police. As of Wednesday, Gugino’s tweets are only viewable to...

According to a trusted source, Gugino told the officers, "you're going to arrest me, and I'm going to take you to the Supreme Court" before the push and fall incident with the two Buffalo officers. Then, as the 57 officers started moving the line forwards to secure the plaza, on orders from above, Martin Gugino began deliberately walking towards the officer line, directly into it, presumably to effectuate his plan of being arrested. Instead, the officers yelled at him to move out of the way and pushed him back when he did not listen. The push caused Gugino to trip...

Donald Trump Jr. on Monday called out Democrats looking to defund police departments in the wake of George Floyd protests should start by cutting their own security detail. Trump said that the entire country has called for the end of police brutality but said calls to cut funding for police departments would do little to stop abuses and would make the most vulnerable communities more vulnerable. “Will those same anti-cop Dems call for their security details to be cut?” Trump asked.

“Progressive” ideology always rests on a conviction that the current “regressive” system is comprehensively unjust and must be destroyed by exploiting its weaknesses. The most famous proponent of such tactics in recent years has been the late Saul Alinksy, the intellectual godfather of the modern Democrat Party, but former Soviet journalist and KGB informant Yuri Bezmenov laid out an even more concise strategy for subversion in a 1984 interview.Alinksy’s seminal book specified 13 Rules for Radicals, but Bezmenov had only four “stages of ideological subversion,” and they will sound very familiar to anyone following the current wave of left-wing riots,...

On Saturday I posted a piece noting that obama and democrats were in a state of panic. Now, their stooges in the left media join them in utter panic. You're going to see the word "deceptive" a lot. Jimmy Kimmel deceptively altered a video of Mike Pence delivering medical supplies.

* Official figures show offending in women's prisons by criminals born male * Male-born trans prisoners were first allowed to transfer to women's jails in 2016 * Attacks at HMP Low Newton, Foston Hall, Peterborough, Bronzefield, New Hall Transgender prisoners have carried out seven sex attacks on women in jail, it can be revealed today. Official figures show for the first time the true scale of offending by criminals who were born male but were allowed to move into female jails after changing gender. Yet despite the risks, prison governors are still allowing trans inmates to move into the...

Many on the left have accused originalism of being nothing but a cover for conservatives’ preferred policy outcomes, but Vermeule’s proposal illustrates how restrained originalists have been. “The Republic” often alarms first-time readers. Not only is Plato’s dialogic style foreign to us, the character of Socrates makes bizarre and even wicked proposals as he outlines a supposed ideal polity, such as a communism not only of property, but also of wives and children. Many readers, including some philosophers, have taken Plato literally and seriously, and therefore condemned him as a proto-totalitarian. Something similar seems to have happened in response to...
