Rasmussen poll shows no slip in support for President Trump

On January 5, President Trump's job approval rating with Rasmussen was 47 percent. Today, the president's job approval is 48 percent.

The attack on Capitol Hill took place on January 6. Since then, there has been more than a week of 24/7, highly-coordinated media hysteria attacking the president as a traitor, as guilty of sedition, of being criminally liable for leading a violent coup against the United States of America ... and his job approval rating is up a point.

Don't pay any attention to media pollsters. Please don't. They're all crap. All liars. All proven liars who have been deceiving and lying to you for at least three election cycles. Rasmussen is one of the few pollsters you can trust, so when Rasmussen tells us Trump's support has not slipped, you can not only believe it, you are offered the opportunity to wonder why.

The main reason why is that corporate media no longer have the power to sway public opinion. Look at what's going on out there right now. You not only have the fake media accusing Trump of sedition and of starting a riot, you have all of Hollywood climbing on board and the Democrat Party impeaching him (again).

Trump was just impeached a second time, and his job approval rating hasn't budged.

Comment: Even an NBC poll shows his approval ratings haven't dropped. And he retains an 87% approval rating from registered Republicans. So the GOP better take Rand Paul's warning seriously if they want to stay relevant to their voter base:
"Look, I didn't agree with the fight that happened last week, and I voted against overturning the election, but at the same time, the impeachment is a wrongheaded, partisan notion, [and] if Republicans go along with it, it'll destroy the party," Paul said.

"A third of the Republicans will leave the party," Paul continued. "This isn't about whether it was a right or wrong debate. This isn't about anymore ... the Electoral College, it's about the future of the party, and whether you're going to ostracize and excommunicate President Trump from the party. Well, guess what? Millions of his fans will leave as well."

Andy Ngo's antifa book No. 1 weeks before release

Antifa 2
Andy Ngo, the chronicler of violent antifa and Black Lives Matter riots, has broken the code on selling books.

A full three weeks before its Feb. 2 release, his Unmasked: Inside Antifa's Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy spent much of this week on Amazon as the No. 1 bestseller, a rarity for books not written by longtime authors and presidents.


In a note to Secrets, he said, "I just thank everyone who responded to the antifa smears and threats by ordering the book. This is a tough economic time for many Americans and yet they see the importance of 'Unmasked.'"

He was referencing the attacks on social media from journalists and others who do not like his coverage of antifa and the riots they were involved in last year, especially in Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington.

The Deep State runs deep.

A leaked Zoom call has surfaced online showing a number of US Government officials discussing how to sabotage the Trump Administration. They admit doing this through leaking or withholding information.

The group even praised a statement by President Harry S. Truman where he said:
"I thought I was the president, but when it comes to these bureaucrats, I can't do a damned thing. So the bottom line in this is that we all as ordinary people and as federal workers have power.
The facilitator is Sarah Starrett who works as an attorney for the Dept. of Labor, which is a conflict of interest.

Comment: Millie Weaver has been subject to harassment and arrest for exposing information such as the above.

Media hysteria: Man arrested in DC with pistol, ammo, 'fake pass' - turns out he was security guard just trying to get to work

Secret Service members walk National Guard troops through the White House grounds in Washington, U.S., January 15, 2021.
CNN and others rushed to report the arrest of a man at Washington's 'checkpoint' with a pistol, 500 rounds of ammunition and a "fake" inauguration pass. The man said he was a security guard, and has been released.

"There's very disturbing breaking news here in Washington. CNN reports U.S Capitol Police arrested a Virginia man with fake inaugural credentials, a loaded gun and over 500 rounds of ammunition," CNN's Wolf Blitzer reported, saying there would be special coverage from the channel on the incident.


Comment: It's only disturbing because Blitzer is a serial bedwetter who salivates over the chance to ramp up the hysteria. If anyone is guilty of "incitement" it is media hacks like him and their atrocious behaviour for the past five years (their whole careers, really).



The fact that the man - Wesley Allen Beeler - also had pro-gun stickers on the window of his pickup truck when he was arrested on Friday in downtown Washington, apparently became a major red flag for the outlets choosing to highlight the detail.

Comment: Here's Beeler in his own words:

FBI arrests 'anarchist' said to have plotted attack on Trump gatherings in Tallahassee - fought in Syria with YPG

Daniel Alan Baker
Update: Near 7:30 p.m., Gov. Ron DeSantis by executive order activated the Florida National Guard to work with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to bolster security at the Capitol complex through Jan. 24.

Federal authorities have arrested a self-described anarchist on charges related to his alleged attempt to recruit the "like-minded" to violently disrupt the expected gathering by supporters of President Trump at the Florida Capitol through Inauguration Day.

The accused is Daniel Alan Baker, described in a 27-page criminal complaint as a former Army airborne infantryman who recently "has been posting messages and multimedia to his Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube accounts that have been increasingly ripe with extremist rhetoric."

"Baker issued a call to arms for like-minded individuals to violently confront protesters gathered at the Florida Capitol this Sunday. He specifically called for others to join him in encircling any protestors and confining them at the Capitol complex using firearms," the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Florida said in a press release.

"Extremists intent on violence from either end of the political and social spectrums must be stopped, and they will be stopped," U.S. Attorney Lawrence Keefe said in a written statement.

"Daniel Baker's actions show that he is a dangerous extremist, and the law-abiding public is safer now that he has been arrested. We are, and will remain, on high alert and will take all appropriate actions against credible threats to the people of our district," he said.

Comment: Baker was featured on VICE for his 'work' with YPG, and also participated in Seattle's CHAZ 'experiment'. Here's his 'call to arms' for January 20th:

Here's the entire criminal complaint, which includes the details that he claimed to have received "Soros money", and was offering cash rewards for information on Trump supporters.

Riot police clashes with protesters during a demonstration in the Museumplein town square in Amsterdam, Netherlands on January 17, 2021.
Thousands of anti-lockdown protesters took to the streets of Amsterdam, decrying restrictive measures against the coronavirus. The unauthorized gathering was met with a strong riot police force.

The anti-lockdown protesters gathered in the center of the Netherlands capital on Sunday, despite failing to get authorization for the rally from the authorities.


Comment: Would permission have even been granted? The UK's police chief said himself that, in his opinion "now is really not the time" to exercise ones right to protest and freedom of speech.


The protesters, who largely lacked face masks and did not exactly observe social distancing rules, decried the restrictive coronavirus measures, carrying banners reading "Freedom: stop this siege" and chanting such slogans as "What do we want? Freedom!" While the Netherlands was initially slower than some countries to respond to the pandemic, it turned to harsher restrictions in December as Covid-19 cases mounted.


Comment: Pretty much every European country fell in line with orders, eventually.


Comment: Protest movements against the totalitarian restrictions are growing throughout Europe:

The city design was presented by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman himself, who explained why he believes that a concept of a conventional city should be transformed "into that of a futuristic one".

An ambitious urban development project involving the construction of a city with no roads where 1 million people would live has recently been unveiled by Saudi Arabia.

As per the project, known simply as The Line, the new city is going to be built along a 170-kilometer long stretch of land, resulting in the creation of what is essentially a chain of communities where residents would have easy access to the shops and services they require.

Comment: Express reports:
Some described plans for The Line as little more than an empty attempt at attracting international investment.

The Economist reporter Gregg Carlstrom tweeted: "Everything about NEOM seems like it was dreamed up by a Saudi official who watched a sci-fi movie on [the Middle East Broadcasting Center] at like 4am and said 'that looks cool, let's throw $100bn at it'."

And human rights groups agreed by pointing to perceived double standards.

Reem Abdellatif, a women's rights advocate, tweeted: "The Line is Mohammed bin Salman's desperate attempt to rebrand Saudi Arabia's failed NEOM project.

"After facing challenges from local tribes and failing to attract investments, [Mohammed bin Salman] once again uses old tricks to solve festering economic issues. Clean house first."

Despite the criticism, construction is slated to start very and is expected to contribute $48 billion (£35 billion) to the local economy as well as 38,000 jobs.

Atilis Gym owner Ian Smith
The owners of Atilis Gym in Bellmawr, New Jersey had their bank account unexpectedly drained even while pursuing their legal appeals against a growing stack of fines levied by the state for alleged violation of Covid-19 rules.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy "took it upon himself to empty our bank account entirely, to the tune of $165,000," gym owner Ian Smith claimed in a Wednesday Instagram post. The confiscation took place "without warning, and without permission" despite both parties being eight months into a bitter legal battle over state Covid-19 restrictions - including a lawsuit against the governor, he added.

The gym owner accused the governor "and his cronies" of "effectively and intentionally interfering with our right to council [sic]" in a Twitter post, noting that the sum taken represented "100% of [the gym's] legal defense money."

Comment: The establishment is pulling all manner of totalitarian tricks against those who attempt to resist:

World's largest insect farm to be built in Illinois amid signs of soaring food inflation

Black Soldier Fly Larvae


The food industry is about to take a giant leap forward towards sustainability as a new partnership between Chicago-based food processing company Archer Daniels Midland and InnovaFeed, a French firm that makes insect protein for animal feed, are set to build the world's largest insect protein factory farm in central Illinois, according to Forbes.

ADM and InnovaFeed will grow and harvest billion and billions of insects called black soldier fly, whose larvae are scavengers and thrive on decomposing organic matter and convert it into a nutrient-rich protein that can be transformed into animal feed.

Black Soldier Fly Larvae

Once the facility is operational, both companies estimate yearly output could be around 60,000 metric tons of animal feed protein.

"I'm in awe. If they can pull this off, it will be magnificent," said Jeffrey Tomberlin, a professor and entomologist at Texas A&M University who has conducted years of research on insect protein
"This facility will be several times bigger than anything else in the world," Tomberlin said.

Comment: So the great push for humans to eat insects continues. See also: Is Insect-Eating Really the Future of Food?

One thing is for sure, insects do NOT provide the good fats and nutrients that helped individuals survive real plague by eating meat:

Alternative tech platform DLive cracks down on users amid media complaints about 'extremist' audience after Capitol storming

A mob of supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump attempt to use a ladder on a group of law enforcement personnel as they storm the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, U.S., January 6, 2021.
DLive, a video streaming service which became popular over the past few years as a free speech alternative to websites like YouTube and Twitch, came under fire from its users after it announced sanctions to combat extremism.

After Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol on January 6, media organizations like the New York Times, Wired, and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) took aim at DLive for hosting users who attended and supported the incident - branding the alternative tech platform an "extremist haven."

"DLive has paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars to extremists since its founding, largely through donations of cryptocurrency built into a service provided by the site," SPLC claimed, pointing out that far-right livestreamer Anthime 'Baked Alaska' Gionet - who recorded himself during the storming of the Capitol - was one such figure reportedly making thousands on the platform.

DLive responded by banning Gionet, as well as American nationalist commentator Nick Fuentes. On Friday, however, the tech platform announced it would be implementing even more restrictions on its user base.

"In response to the recent incident on Jan 6th, we have decided to implement a temporary feature to disable donations and paid subscriptions to all X-tag channels," the company declared. "We understand the inconvenience this may cause for some of you but we believe this is the necessary action to take to ensure a responsible and safe community during this challenging time."
