Leo Hohmann: Biden Delivers Ominous Warning from His Globalist Puppet Masters – The Narrative Has Been Set for Election Chaos and Political Violence
So, in summary, when I listen to Biden’s speech what I’m hearing is this: They are giving us “one final warning,” that if we turn out in droves to vote for their opposition they will have to do something drastic, perhaps remove the pretense of democracy, the delusion that democracy still exists. Unleash hell’s fury.
I hope I’m proven wrong next week, but I have felt for some time that we already live under a dictatorship, a soft dictatorship perhaps, but a dictatorship nonetheless.
The defining characteristic of a dictatorship is that it does not go quietly. It does not allow itself to be voted out of power. Those holding positions of dictatorial power don’t see their roles as servanthood, but rather of privilege and entitlement. They don’t serve the people, as they see it, they rule over them. Why? Because they can. They control the armies and the police forces, in this case the national police force, which is the FBI.
And if we try to resist, meaning we vote in such numbers that even their built-in systemic cheating is unable to compensate for it, then they will call out the military wing of the Democrat Party, which is Antifa, and the FBI will look the other way.

Dallas Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones Could Face a Fine From the NFL for His Halloween Costume
“Commissioner Roger Goodell has made it clear that while coaches and owners can speak to the league office freely about problems with officiating, public comments are subject to fines — even when the refs are wrong,” I wrote back then.
It’s still the case, as Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is likely to figure out. The 80-year-old owner dressed up for Halloween as one of the hoariest of sports cliches: the blind referee.
“Oh, yeah, I had the cane and everything!” Jones told Sports Illustrated. “And I used it on some people, too!”
It’s pretty funny, even if it has been done to death, but the NFL might not think so. You see, the attitude that no one should dare publicly criticize the refs is still prevalent. In fact, the NFL issued a memo in 2019 reiterating that calling out refs is a big no-no. The memo specifically mentions as forbidden:
Jones’ son Stephen is hoping that the NFL sees that the costume was all in good fun.
“They have a very difficult job in real time,” Stephen Jones told The K&C Masterpiece podcast on Monday. “I do think they understand you can have some humor with this stuff, but I can’t imagine they don’t think there’s nothing but respect that comes out of the Cowboys organization in terms of how difficult their job is and what a good job they do, as well.”

Piers Akerman from last week:
Opposition leader Peter Dutton is seeking an intelligent conversation on the role new age technologies may play in Australia’s energy mix.
To paraphrase the Irish joke (no offence intended), Canberra is the wrong place to begin searching.
Not only is the ACT the most woke capital in the nation (having just decriminalised heroin, cocaine and speed, it may also be the dopiest) but the FIFO Teals, Greens and ideologically-blinkered Labor MPs aren’t lifting its average IQ one iota.
Being the heaviest subscribers to the Guardian, Nine Media and the ABC, the Left’s print and broadcast services) means they just aren’t up with what’s happening in the real world.
Germany, where the Greens first won parliamentary seats, is dismantling a wind farm to make way for the expansion of an open-pit lignite, brown coal, mine to provide reliable base load energy.
That’s because former leader Angela Merkel’s illogical and disgraceful over-reliance on unreliable so-called renewables and scandalous dependence on Russian gas has left the German Green-Coalition government in the cold dark as winter approaches.
Here, Labor, the Teals and Greens are screaming to close cleaner black coal power stations without providing any reliable replacement energy sources.
The ABC’s Patricia Karvelas, may have been reading from Labor’s daily issued “talking points” when she scolded Dutton Friday morning for merely suggesting that there is a need to include nuclear energy in any discussion about meeting Australia’s power crisis.
Ignoring the fact (as checked by the ABC’s own Fact Check) that Labor didn’t inherit a trillion dollars of debt, Karvelas carped that small modular nuclear reactors were nowhere in service and that nuclear was the most expensive of all energy sources.
To parrot those same inaccurate government lines is to ignore the small reactors aboard nuclear submarines and the massive subsidies and the tens of billions of dollars that Labor’s proposed 28,000 kilometres of new high voltage green energy transmission lines through farms and national parks will cost.
Maybe she should get her information from someone other than the smirking, smug Minister for Climate Change and Energy Chris Bowen and talk to some real experts.
Dutton made the point in his Budget reply that power prices during the Rudd-Gillard-Rudd years rose on average by 12.9 per cent per year and that over nine years of Coalition government they rose by an average of 0.3 of one per cent per year.
She didn’t want to acknowledge another fact – during the election campaign Prime Minister Anthony Albanese promised on 97 occasions that your bills would be reduced by $275.
Instead of going down by $275, as promised, Treasurer Jim Chalmers Budget calls for increases of more than 56 per cent over the next two years, with increases to your gas bill of more than 44 per cent.
The Labor, Green, Teal majority might take heed of another news item from Germany last week which stated that four separate century-old companies declared insolvency in a 24-hour period as energy costs and inflation continued to spiral across Europe.
Germany has the biggest economy in the European Union, with a GDP of over 3.57 trillion euros in 2021. Its position as the fourth largest economy in the world is based on exports of high-quality manufactured goods including vehicle construction, electrical industry, engineering and chemical industry.
Hobbled by the policies of its Green-tainted government, it stands to lose its status to China, which is rapidly overtaking over its automotive, electrical and engineering industries and is not bound by any net zero fantasies as it builds more coal and nuclear power plants.
The president of the German Chemical Industry Association (VCI), Markus Steilemann, said that the country may become an “industrial museum” if circumstances continue to worsen.
Australia is in a worse position as almost all heavy industry has already been exported to China to the cheers of the Greens and Teals.
Labor with its hard-Left adherence to insane Green policies is leading the nation headlong towards the abyss.
A handful of Labor’s traditional supporters understand the catastrophe facing the nation unless pragmatic action is taken.
Dan Walton, the personable national secretary of the Australian Workers Union, is among them.
As the representative of 72,000 workers across the nation, Dan knows that without reliable, affordable energy, they will be out of work.
Further, when we spoke, he pointed out that unless the Labor government can ensure that householders and businesses have affordable power, the Albanese government will be unable to deliver on its big initiatives.
Like this nuclear power station in northeast China, Australia should consider all forms of energy.
All forms of energy must be considered if those big ticket aspirational goals are to be met, including nuclear, otherwise they will remain dreams for dreamers.
So, as your power bills continue to soar to stratospheric heights as summer air conditioning bills kick in, just contemplate the indescribably blind, deaf and above all ignorant Labor government in Canberra.

Media identifies major beneficiary of Ukraine crisis
US defense contractors reportedly stand to gain the most from $230 billion in new defense-spending commitments by EU nations
Yahoo News has identified a major beneficiary of the Russia-Ukraine slugfest: the US military industrial complex, which is reaping a windfall even as the bloody conflict causes economic havoc, energy shortages and a looming food crisis around the world.
As the media outlet reported on Saturday, EU nations have committed to about $230 billion in new weapons purchases since the Russian military offensive against Kiev started in February. US defense contractors are poised to land the lion’s share of those orders, given their dominance as suppliers to European militaries, Yahoo added.
Many European nations turn to US arms makers for more than half of all their weapons purchases. Yahoo cited data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) to show examples of US dominance in European arsenals. For instance, US-made arms accounted for 95% of the weapons purchases by the Netherlands from 2017 to 2021. The ratios were 83% US weaponry for Norway, 77% for the UK, and 72% for Italy.
European weapons imports jumped 19% during the five-year period as then-President Donald Trump prodded his NATO allies to meet their obligations for defense spending. The Ukraine crisis is set to create an even bigger windfall, as President Joe Biden leads an international campaign to flood Ukraine with weapons and the conflict triggers accelerated steps by European nations to bolster their own defenses.
“This is certainly the biggest increase in defense spending in Europe since the end of the Cold War,” Ian Bond, director of foreign policy at the Center for European Reform, told Yahoo. The crisis in Eastern Europe dispelled the notion that war on the continent is no longer possible, he added. “They’re waking up to the fact that not only is it very possible, but it is happening, and it’s happening not that many miles away from them.”
Since Biden took office in January 2021, European countries entered at least the initial stage of negotiations for $33 billion in arms purchases, including $21 billion since February, Yahoo said, citing figures from the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.
US defense contractors will also benefit from Washington’s massive military aid to Kiev, as the Pentagon races to replenish stocks of artillery pieces, rocket launchers and other weapons. Biden has set aside more than $65 billion in military and economic aid for Ukraine since the conflict began.
FMD. Tim Blair reports a bit of fuckwittery from Marcia Langton:
Indigenous leader Marcia Langton warns massive solar farms will have a bigger impact than mining on Aboriginal lands …
Professor Langton, who leads an Indigenous research team at the University of Melbourne, said the green economy could have worse consequences than land clearing because of the sheer scale of green energy projects …
“The fantasy about the green industry – the green energy economy – that is happening right now is that it is entirely good and will save the planet from self-destruction when we hit 1.5C increase or even 2C – that is not the case,” she said.
“These projects may indeed have a worse impact than land clearing. The kind of land clearing you see in Queensland.”
“The massive solar farms that are being proposed and hydrogen projects will deeply impact Aboriginal lands. Some of them are enormous … on present plans if they’re built you will be able to see them from space.
“So this is a big challenge for Indigenous communities who are landowners or have rights and interest in land. The footprint of the green economy will be so much greater than anything that anybody has seen before. Bigger than mines, bigger than tourism, bigger than urban expansion.”
Prof Langton said many Aboriginal people would not have a choice about whether they wanted to be part of the change.
“They will have these projects forced on them,” she said.
“But where they have the opportunity to freely be involved, there is the great advantage of being involved in an economy and being able to stay on their own country. So there will be economic development in the regions in a way that we haven’t seen before. In many ways more acceptable than say agriculture or grazing.”
However, she stressed: “The footprint of the projects will be an enormous problem to face.
“The environmental impacts will be enormous,” she said.
“Imagine a solar farm that covers 17,000sq km, that’s what they’re envisaging. Imagine a windmill project that covers 20,000sq km, they are literally envisaging projects of that size with the towers 2km apart so in that entire area there is no place where there is no noise because of the noise of these machines.”
Or maybe just don’t build these at all. Of course she is angling for more coin. Just a hideous woman.

You cannot advocate for green energy on one hand then turn around and say it will ‘harm’ Aboriginal communities on the other.
Langton of course thinks that a rather large amount of money is to be paid to these communities as compensation, of which she would seek some as a sort of middle man type figure in any deliberation.
This is one comment under that piece –
It reminds me of Bob Brown.

A pretty Polly parroting the narrative – not a serious contributor.
17,000 Sq Km of Solar Panels [just one Solar Farm]?
More than enough to Extinct a few bird species, i’d say.
I think you may be missing the point Ed.
You are correct in saying that these things shouldn’t be built. They are useless eyesores.
But as I said earlier, cannot ask for renewable energy projects then through the other side of your mouth say they shouldn’t be built near Aboriginal communities.
“A report has found that p3dophiles are able to hide previous convictions when applying for jobs in schools and nurseries by self IDing as transgender, because privacy rules mean employers cannot find out what ‘trans people’ did under their previous names”
How utterly unsurprising.
She can predict a Fetterman victory for now, and in the future give hours of in depth analyses and accounting for the great upset where he loses.
The only problem I have with these people being in their own bubble is that somehow oxygen keeps getting in – otherwise their endless prattle with a limited supply of O2 would seem them speedily dispatched by their own deeds.
But as I said earlier, cannot ask for renewable energy projects then through the other side of your mouth say they shouldn’t be built near Aboriginal communities.

Poll: Liberal Women Experience Worst Mental Health of All Demographics
If you’ve ever had the misfortune to unwittingly sign up as a naïve adolescent for a sociology course at a mid-sized state university, waited too long to withdraw during the add/drop period, and so were forced to sit through a semester’s worth of frothing diatribes against the White Patriarchy delivered by a menopausal hippie divorcée with a neon-dyed bowl cut, as I have, these are the least surprising poll results in human history:
“The US polling, which was conducted as part of the 2022 American Family Survey, found that liberals were about 18 percentage points less likely to be “completely satisfied” with their “mental health” than conservatives. The problem seems to be particularly acute for liberal women, who registered the lowest levels of satisfaction with their lives and mental health.”
Parsing the data, sociologist W. Bradford Wilcox concluded that marriage and family status have a lot to do with the ideological and gender discrepancy: “Given that conservatives aged 18-55 are about 20 percentage points more likely to be married, as well as 18 percentage points more likely to be satisfied with their families, the lesson here is obvious. Marriage and family are strongly linked to happiness and to personal mental health in particular.”
Over-educated liberal women were already way more neurotic than the general population before COVID-19 struck. But based on other polling data published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), the nonstop Public Health© fearmongering likely worsened that demographic’s mental health, as “women are more likely to perceive the pandemic as a very serious health problem and to agree and comply with restraining measures.” Other studies, unsurprisingly, consistently find that liberals are more compliant with COVID protocols than conservatives, which would indicate that they take the Public Health© doomsday prophesizing more seriously.
Another study examining why conservatives are less frightened by COVID-19 found that part of the cause is exposure to different media sources than liberals.

Albanese has warned Palaszczuk there won’t be much federal money for 2032 Olympics projects.
This not entirely unexpected announcement comes on the back of Labor reallocating $1bn of Commonwealth funding for two major dams and several major regional road projects in QLD to other states.
I wonder if there was room on the back of the envelope for John Coates to factor in the possibily of a maxxed out Commonwealth credit card when he was exlaining to Pony Girl how she could make a profit on these games?

Like this link. Now I might be wrong but it appears Langton is an advocate for mining in reading this snippet. But a couple of years ago she was not in favour of Adani going ahead.
Again, just thinking that she only has one thing in mind. “What’s in it for me?”
Gateway Pundit has funny article about a Twitter HR employee crying when sacked and saying she loved the company.
But last Sunday she had posted on Twitter that she hated it there ! Seems she made their choice of who to fire much easier.

He has given them three months severance pay (which would be considered generous in the US).
Everyone who has been vaccinated should be tested for blood clotting issues, heart damage and persistent spike protein, much of this damage can float beneath the surface of awareness until something pushes you over the edge with potentially fatal consequences.

Ran into the Local Greens candidate yesterday at the community market. He was accompanied by what appeared to be his mum and dad. In front of his stand was a large sign, “stop coal”. I pointed out that he was a living advertisement for coal and oil. He appeared bewildered. Then I pointed to his jacket, his footwear, his folders, the plastic table, the tent he was under and even his glasses that were all made from coal or oil derivatives. I thought he might cry. He barely looked like he was out of high school shorts. Looked him up on the Greens site and yep not a lot of life experience. Here https://greens.org.au/vic/person/reuben-steen . While there, if you are Victorian, check out your Greens and chew them up.

Marcia Langton is right about solar farms but it doesn’t change the fact that she’s a nasty piece of work.
A short list of people who should have played their last game of T20 crickit for Alintastralia.
Aaron Finch,
Davey “true grit” Warner,
Sookey Steve Smiff,
“Fragile” Mitch Marsh,
Matty “Sledger” Wade,
Pat “40 Watts” Cummins,
Kane “Where Did That One Go?” Richardson.
Probably more, but that would be a good start.
Indeed, Ryan.
Until all of the above, including his Erko frames, are made from bamboo he’s not to be taken seriously.
The Greens, no doubt will find issues with bamboo too.
Monoculture, uses too much water, bad for indigenous species etc etc.
Someone else will have to go without.

Going well after sacking Langer, not.
I have often said I would not have Marsh on my beach team.
Logical. He had to get all those mad lefty activists off the Twitter servers immediately for security reasons. So they had to be booted out the door with a cardboard box. Hence the three months, being the 60 days plus a month severance.
What those Twits really want is to be able to create havoc and take down the whole company for 60 days.
We’ll see what transpires. If a partisan judge gets the case it could become a serious disaster.
Too fast. Bamboo must be harvested and processed. Erko frames and clothing fibre and footwear don’t grow in bamboo thickets. The processing is very energy intense and goes through many…many phases. Particularly for textiles, which then have to be manufactured using even more coal-based machinery.
He needs to sit on the ground or piece of hand woven split bamboo matting dreadlocked and butt naked (or in arse grass for modesty) for me to take his Stop Coal/Stop Oil idiocy seriously.

Doing my own research on Bruce Pascoe and Dark Emu.
Pascoe did his research on the writings [and conclusions] of the Explorers.
No one is prepared to claim that the explorers made shit up, because what could be in it for them to have fabricated their observations?
So, until that happens, it’s another example of Andrew Bolt fostering division where there wasn’t any.
Let’s say on the one hand one Great Great Great Grandparent of his was an Aborigine [3%].
And on the other hand, let’s say they weren’t?
What’s the difference, his book still stands or falls on the research.
Which none of his critics want to address.
No doubt.
That will be fun, won’t it?

I was going to reply, but what’s the point?
BTW what’s the point of your numerous posts?
You are wrong in fact most of the time.
I have a feeling that critics did indeed carefully explore the very careful curation of early writers by Pascoe.
It’s also very interesting that the Labor candidate for Richmond’s aboriginal credentials are being questioned by ‘First Nation’ people. Sauce for that goose should be sauce for everyone.
Incidentally Pascoe was born and bred in Richmond, iirc.
Shocked, shocked I tells ya..
Journal entries from the renowned North American explorers Case and Gypsum, 1826:
Dearest Maud,
It is the 277th day of our expedition, which incidentally is the same score Brian Lara made against Australia at Sydney when he was run out after not following my advice on running between the wickets.
But I digress. Today we climbed the continental monument long told of by the natives, but which was never really believed by any white man. Until today.
As we stood on that summit, gazing upon the eternity laid bare before us as the Carthaginians were at Cannae, we reflected that 100 metres of bison-created topsoil really stinks.
Is that a literal 100m, or a Robin Williams 100m?
Reuben James, eh?

‘Slow conversion’ usually means under the weight of punitive taxes, the jizya , and very unequal treatment under the law, over time Christians either converted or left.
The same happened in Andalusia and Egypt (in Egypt to the point to when one emir/caliph/sultan in charge banned conversions to preserve his tax base.)
The Copt remnant in Egypt have been quite extraordinary in holding out.

Pascoe did his research on the writings [and conclusions] of the Explorers.
No one is prepared to claim that the explorers made shit up, because what could be in it for them to have fabricated their observations?
If you had done your research properly, you would have discovered that he was selective in his use of the explorers’ words, sometimes taking words from one page, and linking them with words from a different page, recording them as a single quote.
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews is pledging $37 million for a new veterans card that will include $100 credit for car registration, free fishing and boating licences and access to employment programs.
It will also guarantee free public transport on Anzac Day and Remembrance Day.
Mr Andrews said the scheme was particularly targeted at those not yet eligible for the commonwealth-issued gold card.
As a wise person said before the election, “labor in government will be like prison sex. You know it’s going to be bad; you just don’t know how bad.”
Had never heard of them until I scrolled through Mollie Hemingway’s twitter feed.

Many thanks he writes so well.

Very droll crotchless. Firstly, pascoe is not 3rd nations:
Last week, Andrew Bolt drove possibly the last nail into the coffin of Bruce Pascoe’s Aboriginal persona. He secured agreement from Michael Mansell that Pascoe was not a Tasmanian Aborigine. He secured agreement from Jason Briggs that Pascoe was not a member of the Boonwurrong clan. And Aboriginal lawyer Josephine Cashman, who is married to a Yuin man, agreed that Pascoe was not Yuin either.
Secondly, his thesis is complete bullshit: one of many thorough rebuttals.
Now stfu about things you are ignorant of and deal with the real issues: which types of crotchless panties are best for preventing chafing on the hairy, pudgy legs of middle-aged, snivel-chuffers like yourself.
Put me down for a signed copy, T.E.
Now it’s absolutely certain the Demonrats are going to try and cheat. Schiff is blaming the other side of potentially cheating. Schiff is the go-to-one when they want to lie and cheat.

If it’s all the same to Dan, he roll all his irrelevant giveaways into a tiny balls, light them on fire, and plug them ever so slowly up his Marxist arse, one after another.
This is the man who choose to exclude me from the society that I had gone to war for. This is the man who removed the freedoms I thought I was fighting for. This is the man who coerced an untested concoction into my children under threat of permanently damaging their future, removed my ability to defend them from it, and told me I was irrelevant to any future society.
To respect serviceman, you must first respect what they thought they were serving. It’s clear he doesn’t. Transparent virtue signalling.

Looks like I will be here till Monday. Last time M – F was in and out in about 4 hours. Up on a general ward full of geriatrics getting some running repairs.
Travelling along the vaunted Beach road of Melbourne this weekend I spotted what appears to be the Labor government response to complaints of increased crime in Brighton.

JC, that link is to the Babylon Bee.
A young man’s mother was now living in the big city and he didn’t see her that often. His father was no longer around and he was worried that his mom was lonely.
For her birthday, he purchased a rare parrot, trained to speak seven languages. He had a courier deliver the bird to his dear mother. A few days later, he called.
“Ma, what do you think of the bird?”
“The bird was good, but a little tough. I should have cooked it longer”.
“You ate the bird? Mom, that bird was very expensive. It spoke seven languages!”
“Oh, excuse me. but, if that bird was so smart, why didn’t it say something when I put it in the oven?”
