Franchisees generate over 2/3rd of their revenues in the U.S. Franchise owners say the corporation is on a destructive path, and one 8-store franchisee just declared bankruptcy. Some 1,700 stores have changed hands in the last year, and some 2,000 stores are expected to close by the end of this calendar year. Franchisees operate 95% of McDonald’s locations in the U.S.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQkAXzil_9Y

In a financial survey by the Nomura Group, one McDonald’s franchisee stated the company is in the “throes of a deep depression, and nothing is changing” and that “probably 30 percent of operators are insolvent”.

Problems cited include pressure from government regulations, labor tensions, and financial losses are said to be to blame. The typical two most often mentioned are the cost of goods due to inflation of the last two years and the cost of labor due to higher minimum wages.

But these are not the only issues causing problems between McDonald’s corporate of Oak Brook, Illinois, and local franchise owners. Another April article in Restaurant Business Online offered:

The Investing Future report, “McDonald’s goes to battle over ‘joint employer’ rules—with its franchisees,” offered:

“McDonald’s once again was accused of being a heavy-handed “joint employer” of its franchisees’ employees. But this time, the accusations are coming not from labor groups but a group of the company’s own operators.

The Chicago-based burger giant’s ongoing dispute with its franchisees intensified this week over the level of control the company exerts on its operators’ businesses, this time with franchisees suggesting that some of its actions could qualify the company as a joint employer under potentially tightened regulations of the franchisee-franchisor relationship.

The result led to an intense week featuring warring statements between multiple groups of operators along with accusations of intimidation and threats and fears that the franchisee base has become divided.”

Another complaint franchisees have about McDonald’s corporate is that customer survey standards and new ownership requirements can hinder the operation of their stores.

Despite this apparent internal squabbling in the company between store owners and corporate, McDonald’s stock performance remains remarkably strong but this news story makes one wonder if this is not just the calm before the stock market storm so many are predicting these days.

OPINION:

Some people might consider me a lucky freak, but I consider myself blessed by God. As it turns out, I once ate at the first McDonald’s and was served personally by Ray Kroc. The McDonald’s #1 restaurant was built in Des Plaines, Illinois, and opened by Ray Kroc in April 1955. I met him some years later as a toddler as McDonald’s was getting all kinds of positive reviews in Chicagoland newspapers around 1958.

My meal was a burger, shake, and French fries, and it totaled out to less than 50 cents. We ate in our family car as there was no inside dining at that time.

McDonald’s has had a ton of “Bud Light moments” throughout its history, and it has overcome all of them. I remember when I was a teenager, and somebody leaked an internal document that McDonald’s was thinking of experimenting with using the meat of earthworms to supplement their beef patties. Boy, was that ever a premature Klaus Schwab moment for them!

McDonald’s is part of America’s heritage now, and I hope and pray they figure out a way through their current issues. Having a McDonald’s close-up shop is about as devastating to a community as losing a local Walmart… another piece of Americana.

The multiple fraudulent illegal attacks on Donald J. Trump that began in 2016 during his presidential campaign and not a single person prosecuted or sued civilly to be held accountable. What was done to former President Trump by the Hillary Clinton Campaign makes Nixon’s Watergate look like child’s play.

The Covid-19 pandemic outbreak of 2019 that Anthony Fauci announced was coming back in 2017 after Donald Trump became president AND Tony Fauci’s hand in both the development of the virus as a gain-of-function engineered virus as well as the Moderna vaccine solution as a cure.

The beginning of the “Two Tier Justice System” whereby the FBI received the “Hunter Biden Laptop from Hell” in 2019 and then did absolutely nothing about it and the obvious crimes it contained while continuing to fraudulently attack Donald Trump and his family.

The 2020 Presidential campaign whereby Joe Biden sat secluded in his basement without campaigning at all while Trump crisscrossed the nation, holding rallies with tens of thousands of people showing up to listen to him all over the nation.

The 2020 General Election whereby vote counting tabulation stopped for the first time in the history of America with Trump ahead, only to have his lead vanish when vote counting resumed. People in New Zealand actually reported they saw the vote count flip on live television, with the numbers of votes for Donald Trump going to Joe Biden in an instant. The multiple predictors of election outcomes that had been right in the past suddenly wrong in predicting Trump over Biden.

The January 6, 2021, Capitol protests after Attorney General Bill Barr and FBI Director Christopher Wray refused to investigate election fraud in the 2020 General Election despite video evidence of thousands of illegal ballots being delivered, as well as ballots scanned multiple times, in both Georgia and Michigan. There was also hard evidence of election irregularities in 4 other state hot spots around the nation indicating systematic election fraud, again after Joe Biden admitted (on video) it was going to happen a month before the event took place.

The January 6, 2021, certification of the General Election by Vice President Mike Pence, who refused to stop certification of the election after widespread evidence of election theft was found. Interestingly, at the time, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said it was not within his power to do so, but then in 2022 worked to change the responsibility of the Vice President as Senate Chair for future vote certifications by the House and Senate.

Presidential candidate Joe Biden promised to never mandate the Covid-19 vaccines. Then a year after becoming president in 2021, he signed an Executive Order (EO) to require all employees of the Federal Government, as well as contractors, to be vaccinated. He excluded members of Congress and USPS postal workers. The legacy news media somehow missed the fact the EO was both illegal and unconstitutional and never questioned Biden about his exemptions.

The Woke Movement was hijacked by the LGBTQ community to target America’s children for indoctrination. After that, the FBI criminalized parents in 2021 standing up against the LGBTQ community trying to take away parental rights from parents of young children to further this agenda.

The Woke Movement in commerce destroyed brand value from beers, to department stores, to restaurants and professional sports leading to a public revolt in dollar spending by boycotts and the expression, “Go woke, go broke.”

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) movement whereby public safety could actually be sacrificed to favor minorities over race, sexual orientation, and other issues completely unrelated to job performance. We must have more black commercial pilots and surgical doctors, no matter the cost!

The Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) movement assigns credibility and weight fraudulently to the Climate Change Cult despite the fact not a single prediction they have forecast in the last 40 years has come to pass. True scientists, trying to follow the science against the movement, have been systematically censored. ESG is a United Nations Environment Program Initiative of 2005 that threatens America’s sovereignty.

America’s open borders, coupled with widespread lawlessness in our major metropolitan areas, are a threat to our national security. Our economy is key to our wellbeing for all involved, whether we be consumers or employees.

CONCLUSION:

Possibly yet to come are predicted food shortages, energy shortages, sabotage of the internet grid, a second pandemic wave, and national gun confiscation. Stay tuned!

If the FBI and DOJ do not step up to investigate and/or stop some of the oddities above, look for vigilante justice to prevail.

Average Americans are fed up and about done with this chain of events seemingly orchestrated by the powers above.

Now, with the release of the John Durham Report, it is clear for all to see that the Deep State was engaged in a silent coup against Donald J. Trump.  It began as a coup against candidate Trump, continued as a coup against President-elect Trump, and persisted as a coup against President Trump holding our highest office. The release of Special Counsel John Durham’s Report revealed that this was much more than the usual political dirty tricks and shenanigans.  This was very much a coup-d’état or silent coup. This was a high crime.

Before we continue, it is important to understand terms that many of us are not familiar with because, until now, they have not been an issue.

What is an insurrection?

The Democrats falsely labeled the January 6 protests as an “armed insurrection.” Nobody came to the Capitol armed and by CNN’s own definition of protests from the “Summer of Love” 2020, the protest was “mostly peaceful”. The Insurrection Act of 1807 allows the President to deploy the military to suppress a rebellion. President Trump asked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi if she wanted him to call out the National Guard before that date arrived, and she declined.

Punishment for insurrection or rebellion can include up to 10 years in prison and the inability to hold public office.

What is a coup or coup d’état?

Dictionary.com defines a coup as “a sudden and decisive action in politics, especially one resulting in a change of government illegally or by force.” In short, it means to overthrow a government. Democrats have argued elements of January 6, 2021 events met the definition of an attempted coup. But if you consider the genuine possibility they stole the election after vote count processing mysteriously stopped the morning of November 4, 2020, they are the ones guilty of a silent coup. Keep in mind that Trump was ahead before the vote counting stopped and behind as soon as it continued.

Punishment for an attempt to overthrow a government by coup includes up to 20 years in prison and ineligibility for federal employment for the next five years.

The Deep State globalists, including the Fourth Branch of government (FBI/DOJ/DHS/NSA/CIA), engaged in a conspiratorial plot against Donald Trump from the moment he announced his candidacy. This was a coup committed as a white collar crime by people with positions of status. They all appear guilty of not putting the interests of the United States over those of the globalist elites and their own.

Most observers speculate the reason why this happened was that Donald Trump is a true patriot who believes in America’s sovereignty and was not going to allow a One World government on his watch. He believes in “America First” and was tired of seeing our country and its citizens (as taxpayers) getting the short end of the stick. He saw the issues of global climate change, overpopulation, health care, endless wars, mass starvation, mass poverty, and pandemics all as ploys to lead the world to allow a One World government.  Therefore, a silent coup was the result and it was perpetrated by the Democrats, all four branches of government, as well as the mainstream media (to sell it to the public).

The bombshell of the Durham report revealed Hillary Clinton’s campaign contracted out with third parties to not only spy on candidate Trump’s emails and computer usage during his campaign but to hack into and spy on President-elect thereafter, as well as his computer/email/online usage as President in the White House! So a non-government group from the Hillary Clinton Campaign appears to have illegally spied on a legitimately elected and seated president of the United States by hacking into his computer servers.  That is a felony.

So this was done, the Fourth Branch of government was in on it (How else do you hack a seated President’s computer?), and nobody has done anything about it.  The Deep State, with cover from the Fourth Branch, ran a coup-d’état against a rightfully elected President during his entire presidency.  Some would call this treason and sedition.  Regardless, this is a felony.

Many Americans from all political walks of life do not trust our government.  Americans today believe the Deep State government of Joe Biden is no longer just a “conspiracy theory” anymore.

Those involved need to be held accountable.

“NEW Rasmussen Poll Reveals the Red Wave did happen,” Lake tweeted. She then added, “Lake, Hamadeh, and Finchem won according to poll, and 50% of Arizonans say the 2022 Election issues were done intentionally to hurt Republicans.”

The Red Wave happened in Arizona.
They had to cheat and lie to install their frauds in office.
We the People will never go away.
We demand honest elections. https://t.co/E9ZGq5IYDL

She concluded the tweet with, “The Red Wave happened in Arizona. They had to cheat and lie to install their frauds in office. We, the People, will never go away. We demand honest elections.”

Several Conservative online news sources, including Steve Bannon, have picked up on this very newsworthy story. Newsweek ran a headline, “Video of Kari Lake Listing Off Democrat ‘Election Deniers’ Viewed 2M Times.”

This Rasmussen poll Lake referred to came out Friday, and the poll’s summary declared, “Most Arizona Voters Believe Election ‘Irregularities’ Affected Outcome.”

One of the key findings from the poll, conducted with College Republicans United, was “55% of Likely Arizona Voters believe it is likely that problems with the 2022 election in Maricopa County affected the outcome, including 35% who think it’s Very Likely.”

The poll also found, “Of the 92% of Arizona voters who say they voted in the 2022 election, the new survey found 51% voted for Lake, and 43% voted for Hobbs, while five percent (5%) say they voted for some other candidate.”

The poll of 1,001 participants of “Arizona Likely Voters” was conducted between March 13-14 and carries a 3-point margin of error.

Democrat Katie Hobbs was said to have won the election by some 17,000 votes or 50.3 percent. But widespread voting irregularities happened during the voting. Republican Kari Lake filed lawsuits during and after the election to protect voting laws and ensure accountability. They have been denied in the courts. Currently, her case is before the Arizona Supreme Court.

Democrats have a strategy of vilifying Republicans like Kari Lake as they termed her and other Republican candidates who seemingly lose suspicious elections “election deniers.” Lake turned the tables on them in a video where she called out Democrats as “election deniers.” It has gone viral on social media and has been viewed over two million times. Those on her list include “Hillary Clinton and all the Democrats”—later going into some specifics of 150 examples of Democrats “denying” election results. The video goes a long way to call out the Democrats on their hypocrisy in this matter.

“Since 2000, people have questioned the legitimacy of our elections. And all we are asking is that in the future, we don’t have to have that happen anymore. When I’m governor, we’re going to make sure we have honest elections,” Lake said in a press conference.

"Election Denier."'

The corporate media can keep their partisan slurs to themselves.

I'm not DENYING an election happened.

I'm denying the integrity with which it was ran.

We can either restore fairness to our elections or lose this country forever.pic.twitter.com/0vzg0dVav3

OPINION:

At the risk of being like all the climate change cult false prophets, I believe Kari Lake will win this legal battle and be the first governor ever sworn into office after proven systematic election fraud. Whether Democrats or RINO Republicans are ever prosecuted for this obvious charade will remain to be seen. Whether she wins this before the Arizona Supreme Court or the Supreme Court of the United States is the only question remaining in my mind. Her proof of election interference is conclusive.

The bottom line is that court justices must step up and uphold the law regardless of party. They need to do what needs to be done. Otherwise, I fear violence will be the next logical step. Americans’ votes and majority rules are sacred to the American psyche.

“Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing,” John Stuart Mill said in 1867.

The commission based in Olympia, Washington, issued a statement of disciplinary charges against Dr. Ryan Cole of Idaho last month, who is licensed in Washington State as a physician and surgeon. Dr. Cole lives in Idaho, has a medical license there, and is currently one of Ada County’s appointed members of the Central District Board of Health.

Dr. Cole’s crime seems to be questioning the Tony Fauci CDC narrative and conducting scientific research and data gathering related to recent vaccine injuries that may be related to the new Covid-19 experimental drugs posing as vaccines. Dr. Cole has been conducting research with a group of German doctors whereby they found spike proteins generated by Covid-19 “vaccines” are seemingly causing new cancers in some patients and bringing cancer patients who had their cancers previously in remission out of remission and active again.

The Washington Medical Commission’s (WMC) statement of charges holds Dr. Cole made false and misleading statements related to the Covid-19 pandemic, related vaccines, treatments, and mask use. Dr. Cole, his patients, and backers of scientific peer review and free speech are braced for a fight. Dr. Cole is a pathologist as well as a virologist, unlike Tony Fauci and most of the members of the Washington Medical Commission. This makes him more qualified to call a spade-a-spade in this debate.

The worst part of this commission’s “false and misleading statement” about Dr. Cole is he is not even an advocate at this point in time for or against the Covid vaccines. He is simply stating he and his colleagues have noticed a rather odd and new anomaly since the distribution of the Covid vaccines, and he would like to see some open discussions related to scientific research on the matter. He also wants to see our government demand Big Pharma release data on what they know about their own experimental drug concoctions posing as virus vaccines. Thus far, he has not just been stonewalled but has been interfered with.

The WMC holds that Dr. Cole’s public statements about Covid-19 “were harmful and dangerous to individual patients, generated mistrust in the medical profession and public health, and had a widespread negative impact on the health and well-being of our communities,” the commission wrote.

The commission also alleges Dr. Cole provided negligent care to four patients to prevent or treat Covid-19 infections, saying he “prescribed medications that are not indicated for a Covid-19 infection, failed to properly document adequate justification for the treatment in the medical record, failed to take a history or perform a physical examination, and failed to obtain appropriate informed consent.”

The irony of this hypocrisy, even if true, is many doctors around the nation have been illegally harassed by state medical boards for prescribing Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine instead of Tony Fauci’s required protocol of Covid-19 care when the vaccines he has been pushing do not even have an informed consent form to accompany them even as an experimental use drug!

The WMC also alleges ”Dr. Cole provided inadequate opportunity for follow-up care, treated patients beyond his competency level, and did not advise patients about standard treatment guidelines and preventative measures.” The commission said Dr. Cole committed unprofessional conduct “based on the alleged facts.”

Dr. Cole, who is licensed to practice medicine in both Idaho and neighboring Washington, has had previous experiences with harassment in this fashion.

The Idaho Medical Association (IMA) in December of 2021 said it had filed a complaint about Dr. Cole with the Idaho Board of Medicine (IBM), which keeps investigative materials private during an investigation. The Idaho Board of Medicine told television station KTVB only formal disciplinary actions by the board are public record. Its online records show no actions have been taken against Dr. Cole thus far.

Susie Keller, the Idaho Medical Association’s CEO, said spreading falsehoods have “actually caused our physicians and nurses to be subjected to verbal assaults.” by patients who are convinced that the fake information is true, Keller said.

The non-profit America’s Frontline Doctors have come to support Dr. Cole before. Dr. Simone Gold, who is the organization’s founder and leader, said back in 2021, “nurses know that Covid patients are dying from government-subsidized hospital protocols (Remdesivir, intubation), NOT from Covid.”

You can watch what Dr. Cole has to say on this matter in this very good and short interview of 2 minutes that includes some of his microscope slides of what he has found.

CONCLUSION:

Perhaps we need some of these same nameless, faceless, feckless doctors operating behind the scenes on these medical review boards to come out publically and debate people like Dr. Cole, or shut up!

I, for one, would like to see just one of these frauds accept the challenge entrepreneur millionaire Steve Kirsch made to do this with his debater getting a million dollars. Kirsch is not even a medical doctor, but he is an off-the-chart genius, much like Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Stupid people never want to be found in the company of such men. It gets worse for them real quick.

• $1M vaccine safety bet term sheet

Kirsch is touted by the Pfizer-backed mainstream media as one of the top 12 purveyors of Covid misinformation (“without evidence” as the Trump haters always say about the 2020 election) and every single one of them is too cowardly to meet with Kirsch face-to-face. In the interest of saving America and Americans, these are the people who should be censored in the media!

You cannot be a “fact checker” if you refuse to be fact-checked yourself. That just means you are a propagandist!

My personal opinion on this vaccine safety issue is this won’t end without a class action lawsuit of the vaccine injured and doctors who have been harassed for trying to get to the truth for the sake of their patients. Big pharma loses its product liability immunity once fraud is proven. Experimental use classification or not, an informed consent form is still required for use.

Anybody who has been following globalist billionaire George Soros and his Open Society Foundation knows that he wants open borders for America, which will destroy our sovereignty. Their misinformation campaign of Soros begins when this question is asked, and then he answers:

“Is the United States an open society?

We are an open society. The principles of an open society are enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. And the institutions of our democracy are protected by our Constitution. The fact that we have a bunch of far-right ideologues in our executive branch does not turn us into a totalitarian dictatorship.”

Some adhere to the idea that America must be an “open society” rather than a “capitalist economy.”  Some adhere to America must be a “managed democracy,” as of a book written in 1927. Those who are nationalists adhere to the ideal we are a “constitutional republic” before anything else.

“Why America is Not An Open Society”

Those who adhere to the teachings and beliefs of Soros argue America is a “society,” not an “economy.” We should be about people and not profit margins.

The problem with this is Soros and others with average thinking abilities know that when a society has more takers than makers, the system (whether you want to call it a society or economy) is unsustainable. We have already seen this in terms of blue “Death Spiral States” such as California and Illinois. Liberal Democrat policies are causing major corporations to close shops, and corporate headquarters are moving from these states. Whether you want to look at Tesla leaving California or Caterpillar leaving Illinois, the liberal policies forced upon the corporations and residences of these states are causing a mass exodus making a bad situation go from bad to worse.

When Democrat blue states allow for the lawlessness of liberal blue voters while severely and unconstitutionally prosecuting red voters simply trying to protect their own, America becomes dysfunctional.

The most disturbing aspect of these liberal globalist Democrats is they are gaslighters at the least and out-and-out liars and the most. Take a recent Wall Street Journal article of George Soros, where he cited a bogus study of the socialist left.

On March 15, 2022, a left-wing advocacy organization called The Third Way published a 15-page study with the provocative title “The Red State Murder Problem.” The report was written by Jim Kessler, a long-time Democratic policy director to Representative/Senator Charles “Chuck” Schumer, and Kylie Murdock, a former intern for Congresswoman Barbara Lee. She also served as a volunteer for Elizabeth Warren for President.  Their study stated that the “murder rates are far higher in Trump-voting red states than Biden-voting blue states.”

The only problem with their report is it was a complete and utter lie, and they most probably knew so! The quickest way to call out bogus “researchers” is to challenge them to an open public debate with peers in their field. THEY NEVER ACCEPT THE OFFER, EVEN FOR PAY!

Dr. Tony Fauci is a good recent example after being challenged by entrepreneur billionaire Steve Kirsch to come to debate the Covid-19 pandemic and resultant vaccines that are not really vaccines at all but experimental drugs with unknown/unproven end results.

So this red state/city lie report comes out about crime being higher in Trump MAGA country. Of course, dozens of media outlets, including The Washington Post, The Hill, Inside Edition, Politifact, The Daily Beast, Los Angeles Magazine, the San Francisco Examiner, NBC News18, and many others, picked up this “study” and rabidly reported on its “findings.”

Americans are not stupid. That is why they are fleeing blue states in droves for red states.

Chicago and New York are well-known killing fields, even though the mainstream media no longer gives much reporting time to the senselessness of the crimes committed there.

So what is the end game of George Soros and his desire for open borders?

It may surprise many readers that you can legally bet on something (society or economy) to fail and profit from that failure. I first learned of this as a youth in agriculture.  The publication Successful Farming did a really good editorial with an explanation on this about a year ago:

“The coming year may be a year to buy put options and perhaps sell less than you normally would. Puts provide you the right (not the obligation) to be short (sell) futures. You can think of puts like insurance against lower prices. Puts establish a price floor. Leave the crop in the bin and expected production unpriced to appreciate in value if prices rally.”

Even with this knowledge as a youth, I was shocked and horrified when this method was used as part of an insider trading or informed trading incident on 9-11-2001. A handful of investors took output options that both American and United airliners were going to go down that day, and, of course, they did.

While some “independent fact checkers” (aka gaslighters) tried to state this story was a conspiracy theory, Press for Truth offered a video that confirmed it is exactly true and another example of the FBI being derelict in duty!

The video that includes snippets of “The International Hearings on the Events of September 11, 2001” offers testimonies by experts that prove that those individuals who bet on these airliners failing on this particular day were no coincidence!

“9/11: 20 YEARS OF DECEPTION – EP 3 – FULL MOVIE IN HD”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT2N1xCv7ZA

Also see the journal report titled “Unusual Option Market Activity and the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001”.

George Soros is betting on America to fail.  He is actively working for it to do so in several ways.

• He controls the narrative of our news. Media Research Center (MRC) reports liberal billionaire George Soros is tied to at least 253 media organizations around the world by funding them.
• He funds campaigns of liberal prosecutors for cities and states. Chicago’s Kim Foxx is one such abysmal failure in her biased handling of the Jussie Smollett hoax, which caused the Chicago Police Department to actually have to threaten her if she did not do her job in prosecuting him. (Smollett alleged he was attacked by some guys wearing MAGA caps in downtown Chicago who attacked him for his race and homosexuality. In fact, he paid two guys he knew to rough him up as part of a publicity stunt.
• He funds states and cities that promote cashless bail, such as Illinois, with their new 2023 SAFE-T Act.
• He funds political candidates who promote sanctuary cities.
• He funds political candidates who support open borders.

And if you still think George is such as great man simply putting people over profits, go back and watch his “60 Minutes” interview of December 20, 1998, where Soros, himself, admitted to Steve Kroft that he had no regrets whatsoever about assisting the Nazis in confiscating property from the Jewish people during the Holocaust. Or maybe go see the part he played in the collapse of the Bank of England on September 16, 1992, on “Black Wednesday” when speculators “broke the pound.” You could do a deep dive as to why several countries starting with Russia, have International Arrest Warrants out on him. And while much of this is heavily hidden on the Internet these days, the story of Myanmar seizing Soros bank accounts with 11 arrest warrants issued for Open Society Foundation employees is not.

So make no mistake, Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats who have supported our open southern border in the past and are now stonewalling discussion about the humanitarian crisis developing today are not stupid or inept.  They are on George’s payroll, which is willful and intentional treason!

It is estimated some new 5 million “takers” have entered the United States from 160 countries in the form of illegal immigrants since Joe Biden assumed the Oval Office. When America fails, and it will, George Soros and all of them need to be removed by force.

His article has been weighing heavy on my mind as it is time for our political leaders and American patriots to go even further than his list of 11 offered.  In brief, his list included what most Americans can do right now:

1. Live Not by Lies
2. Buy Local
3. Bank Local
4. Support Local Farms
5. Be Vocal
6. Run for Local Government
7. Demand That Your State Pass Laws Against ESG Scores
8. Make Responsible Spending a Key Issue for Politicians
9. Organize Anti-Great Reset Groups
10. Buy Property and Diversify
11. Make the Great Reset a Litmus Test for Politicians

A 12^th one I could have added – “Boycott Advertisers Who Support Globalist Broadcast Networks and News Publications” – makes for a perfect circle back to his first one of “Live Not by Lies.”

Americans generally have blind faith, which can be either a good thing or a bad thing.  If you have blind faith in God and Christ, that is a good thing. But still, they do not expect us to sit on our hands as passive sheep and do nothing in the face of adverse times. If you have blind faith in your government and the mainstream news media to give you direction in life these days, that is a very bad thing.

The world seemingly is at war, and the roots of that war which did not exist two years ago when Donald Trump was President seems to be the New World Order (NWO) Globalist Elites kicking their Great Reset plan into hyper-overdrive since the unexpected election of President Trump in 2016. Working from the premise America is at war, the following actions need to be taken immediately by any political leader, military personnel, or civilian who can make them happen:

1. County Sheriffs need to organize what I would term “Patriot Protection Patrols” to protect food sources, fuel sources, power grid sources, and, if necessary, county lines. These sheriffs and County State Attorneys need to inform the public that their counties will be the opposite of a sanctuary county for any criminal looking to disrupt the American way of life relative to food, shelter, housing, and energy. Any such individuals engaging in these acts will be considered the enemy within and most probably not make it to a jury trial.

See also: “Sudden Rash of Shortages Shows Great Reset is REAL!” – Mark Schwendau.

2. Local citizen groups need to start to meet to plan for the dire consequences of disruption of such things as the supply chain or power grid. To be organized with a multi-level plan of action in the event the unexpected were to occur is essential.
3. Local citizen groups need to come up with reliable local news channels since so many of our local, state, and national news sources are now obviously compromised and no longer trustworthy. Simply meeting weekly or monthly to discuss what you have learned and know to be true from personal experience and others’ experiences could become invaluable.
4. Local citizens need to develop a communications plan in the event the Internet, and cell phone towers are taken offline to facilitate a rapid takeover of our country. No doubt local broadcast radio and television stations will be pumping a false narrative whereby you can believe the opposite of whatever they say.
5. American politicians and the mainstream media need to be put on notice by the National Rifle Association (NRA) that any form of mass “red flag” gun confiscation will be deemed unacceptable and treated as an instantaneous act of war. Americans will not be boarding any boxcars to work camps without inflicting a heavy loss of life on those who want to execute such a plan.
6. Local entrepreneurs need to withhold business advertising dollars from any local radio, television, newspaper, or social media platforms (Google, YouTube, and Facebook) if they demonstrate a bias against conservative American patriots and towards liberal socialist enemies within.
7. Local military units of divisions such as the State Guards need to be briefed on expectations if they are given orders that contradict their mission of protecting the local citizenry or violate the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Any commanding officer who gives an order that is going to compromise private citizens should be investigated right up the chain of command to get to the specific source of such an order.
8. Local elections need to be conducted by paper ballot with ID, with absentee ballots only used for those with doctor-verified health issues and those in our military on duty. Workplaces must give workers time off to go vote in person.
9. The Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have been compromised and need to be informed that now would be a good time for them to start enforcing the law equally for both Democrats and Republicans or suffer the future consequences. Some politicians have already called for the defunding and gutting of the FBI. All people who work for these two agencies should be apolitical.
10. “Follow the money” is the motto that took down Chicago mobster Al Capone and that criminal investigation scenario needs to now be played out with the new 87,000 IRS agents just recently hired by the Joe Biden Administration. For starters, they need to be ordered to track any political leader with a net value greater than a million dollars. The Obamas need investigation since their net worth is reported to have gone up from just 3 million in 2008 to over 70 million today, as has recently circulated social media platforms.

To that last point: Anybody with a brain knows the IRS should be going after the big fish in the sea and not the little fish with stupid 1099-K forms for online craft sales greater than $600! The Pelosi, Clinton, and Biden families should also be targeted. The Trump family had their net value go down during the four years Donald Trump held our highest office, so he should get a free pass just for being illegally stalked and harassed by the Democrats.

CONCLUSION:

Now is not the time for American patriots to commit violent acts such as going to our political leaders’ homes with hammers in hand. Now is the time to organize, plan, and get vocal.  Now is the time to peacefully and legally push back and push back hard against the narrative.

And if you think I am some kind of lunatic alarmist, consider these two very newsworthy stories not being reported by our mainstream news media:

“Brazil Headed for Martial Law; Netherlands: Police Tip Tractors w/ Farmers 12/4/22” – Resistance Chicks.

You are not alone if you have not heard of these two stories.

In brief, millions of Brazilian citizens have taken to the streets for 37 straight days as they protest what they see as a recent corrupt election outcome. Like America, an unpopular globalist took their highest office over a popular nationalist. Martial law could come next week, but the citizens are vowing to stand firm and asking the military to intervene in a coup to oust their new fraudulent globalist president. Brazil’s Constitution allows for a military takeover during election integrity issues.

Meanwhile, in the Netherlands, Dutch farmers have been protesting on and off for months, using their heavy farm equipment to block roadways.  The issue here is the Dutch politicians are taking cow farts to the extreme.  Politicians have put unrealistic environmental regulations on methane releases for agri-businesses under the guise of protecting the world from “climate change.” Some 3,000 farms have been targeted to be closed and lost in 2023, which experts say will most assuredly lead to food shortages. The farmers were immediately hunted down and disbanded by police and riot squads. Netherlands Police were seen using heavy construction machinery to tip over tractors with protested farmers in them.

In many instances, those caught shooting cell phone videos of these two protests from opposite sides of the world are arrested and hauled off to internment camps in black vans.

When you use your critical thinking skills, the first story from Brazil represents what Americans should have done in November of 2020, and the second story from the Netherlands shows what could be coming to America soon and why Americans should never give up ANY of their guns!

And make no mistake, climate change is a charade, as I previously reported here: “How Climate Change Hoaxers Expose Themselves Given Time’ – Mark Schwendau.

By the way, this last article of mine is seemingly being banned by Google.com, which is why I use Brave.com search engine now.  It comes up on the first page of Brave. See my point number 6 above!

In my humble opinion, the greatest threat we have to stop the Great Reset is to get more Senate Democrats to flip over to the Republicans. There are still Democrats who are neither socialists nor globalists. If a logical and heartfelt calm appeal can be made to their consciousness with an offer to protect them after they flip, this is our greatest weapon to turning the “Great Reset” into the “Great Upset.”

• Was this a manmade gain-of-function virus made intentionally to lower the world population?
• Was it released from a lab intentionally, and if so, who was responsible?
• Did American taxpayer dollars go into the development of this virus?
• Who profited off of the pandemic?
• Was burying the Hunter Biden laptop story election interference?
• Were governmental agencies involved in burying the Hunter Biden laptop story rather than actively investigating and prosecuting it?
• Who labeled the Hunter Biden laptop story “Russian disinformation,” which was knowingly an outright lie?
• If the public had known about this Laptop From Hell and its contents, would that have swung the 2020 General Election to Donald Trump?

Probably the most interesting and intriguing question is, “Was this the first attempt at Fifth Generation Warfare (5GW)?”

If you are not familiar with the term, “Fifth Generation Warfare,”  most of us were not. While there is some disagreement as to the divisions of warfare over time, in general, the five generations of warfare can be broken down as follows:

First Generation – Refers to ancient and post-classical battles fought with massed manpower using a phalanx (men in columns and rows) with uniformed soldiers governed by the state. Swords, spears, bows with arrows, shields, and body armor were indicative of these battles.

Second Generation – This term was created by the U.S. Military in 1989. It marked the advent of the rifled musket and breech-loading weapons that used black powder or gunpowder. Rifled projectiles flew longer distances with greater accuracy to target than previous firearms.

Third Generation – Is said to be a period where facing your enemies in phalanx columns and rows gave way to trying to outmaneuver and flank your enemy on the battlefield for a greater tactical advantage. Speed, stealth, and surprise were often used to confuse and panic the enemy when they found themselves seemingly or really surrounded. This was less a generation of weaponry than a tactic.

Fourth Generation – This is a conflict where there is a blurring of the lines between war and politics, as well as combatants and civilians. The war in Vietnam might have been a good early example of this generation of warfare. Civilians caught up on the way would adapt to whichever armed personnel was occupying their villages at the moment, Viet Cong or American Military. Their end game was less about war and politics than simply working to stay alive. Terms that come out of this phase of warfare include guerrillas, terrorists, and rioters. Such players make it difficult for enemies to identify a focal point to deliver a conflict-ending blow.

Fifth Generation – Involves using non-kinetic military actions, which could use social engineering, misinformation, cyberattacks, artificial intelligence, and fully autonomous systems. Author Daniel Abbot wrote this generation war of “information and perception.” “Operation Mockingbird” refers to the CIA’s 1970’s involvement in journalism. The CIA is said to have bribed college students and legacy journalists, and reporters to write CIA versions of events. Then Senator Frank Church established the Church Committee to investigate ‘government operations and potential abuses.’ During this investigation, the CIA admitted its manipulation of the mainstream media.

You can learn more about these generations of warfare here: “What are the Generations of Warfare?” – Andrew Marshall.

This latest Fifth Generation of Warfare reminds us of a quote attributed to Nazi German on The Big Lie (German: Große Lüge):

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic, and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

This quote is often attributed to Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels. Still, the fact is, nobody is sure who said it though it is thought to have originated in the time of Nazi Germany due to when it first surfaced.

Given the Democrats of the left’s penchant for accusing the right of everything they actually do and are guilty of and the fact today’s American Democrats share socialism with the German Nazis of 70+ years ago, one must now have to consider the very real possibility is “The Big Lie” is that there was no election fraud in 2020!

If we look at just the two examples of misinformation (AKA LIES) during the pandemic and the Hunter Biden laptop, it is safe to say the American public is now engaged in Fifth Generation Warfare. When acting president Joe Biden threatens to come for your guns, now would be a good time to tell him to go to hell. It has been said, “The only thing protecting the First Amendment is the Second Amendment.” It has also been said, “Never, throughout the history of time, have those looking to confiscate guns been the good guys.”

Donald Trump is an American hero for exposing the Deep State as reality. Elon Musk is a new American hero for exposing America’s immersion in Fifth Generation Warfare by purchasing Twitter. He is pulling back the curtain to reveal the Wizard, and he is to be thanked and congratulated.

After high school, Puntigam found herself like so many of us wondering what she wanted to be as a grown up. She decided to go to college where she would major in economics and graduated with a Masters of Business Administration (MBA). Puntigam wound up employed in the corporate world, working as a tax consultant in the Austrian capital of Vienna for a time.

Soon her childhood roots came back to haunt her as office life was not a life for her. As a child she grew up exploring the countryside around her home and became quite adept at foraging for berries and mushrooms while she lived out in the wild. This soon led to overnight camping in the wild of lower Austria.

Getting back to her roots she became a content creator of “bushcraft” which is a form of surviving in the wild with every little.  For Lilly, it involves bow hunting, developing one’s survival skills, and reviewing essential products that can help survivalists of all levels with their primitive living skills. The difference between a “prepper” and a “bushcrafter” is the one is preparing for a dire future in a home base of operation while the other is prepared to live in the wild with very little at all and can be mobile.

The website Famous People Today reports in 2011 Puntigam’s Survival Lilly channel started off small as she was doing the channel so Puntigam’s friends wouldn’t see her videos on her personal channel and so she would remain anonymous.  While her personal channel had her videos recorded in her native tongue of German, her Survival Lilly channel had videos recorded in English. In 2013 she only had 2,000 subscribers but by 2014 she had almost 100,000 subscribers! From there she left her office job behind and was able to make a full-time living from her channel and never looked back. Puntigam earns most of her money from ads on her YouTube channel, sponsors, and selling survivalist equipment on her website at survivallilly.at.

What is most interesting about Puntigam is she recently began offering people of the world (specifically Europe) very good prepper advice in several of her newest videos. While Survival Lilly is not into politics at all, it is clear her messages are to help people survive the globalist’s “Great Reset”. People all over the world would be well advised to listen to her as well as others like her.  In the case of Lilly, she is also offering us insight into life deteriorating in Austria this year.

In 1999 I traveled to Austria to visit our hometown of “Schwendau” with several of my cousins. It was a surreal experience. We learned much about the country of Austria and the Austrian people. We had lunch with the mayor and learned much more.  At that time we learned that Austria was 98% pure Austrians (people born there).  We learned most people believed in God and attended church regularly and most churches were Catholic. Crime was not a serious issue. Austrian people generally lived by “The Golden Rule” of doing onto others as you would have them do to you.

I mention all of this to give context to what Survival Lilly reports in this video of today. Austria is living with over 10% inflation. A major Austrian petroleum refinery plant had a recent “accident” which is now being investigated as a crime of sabotage and the Austrian “Secret Service is investigating this issue. Austria is now operating on its strategic oil reserve supply. This impacts both heating oil and petroleum for transportation needs.

Survival Lilly then goes into great detail about the desperation growing in Austria.  She mentions people stealing.  Specifically she mentions the rise in shoplifting including high value meats and how grocery stores are now adding security tags and labels to sound alarms for those exiting these stores without paying for them.  She mentions how store employees are being told not to confront shoplifters but to turn over security videos to law enforcement for them to pursue these people as criminals.

She also goes into great detail, as a survivalist of the wild into discussing how Austrian people are illegally cutting firewood to make it through the upcoming winter months.  Most of the forests of Austria are owned by the government of Austria and while it is legal to harvest certain foods like wild berries and mushrooms, it is never legal to take down trees for firewood.  She also mentions how some property is private property and it, also, is not legal to trespass on for the purposes of collecting illegal firewood.

She goes on to discuss how most homes and apartment flats are not even equipped to burn wood which means if home heating oil and natural gas runs out, Austrians are expected to resort to using electric space heaters.  She predicts that this, in turn, will crash the electric power grid as this is one of the least energy efficient ways for people to keep from freezing but will undoubtedly be the most used.  She mentions how electric heaters are already in short supply or sold out of the stores.

CONCLUSION:

For whatever reason our news media has been guilty of not reporting the world news as well as it once did many years ago. In the case of Austria and all of Europe, Survival Lilly may be offering us a foreshadowing of what is to come to us in the west. This is why it is so important to share information around the world. She is a very intelligent and thoughtful woman and her words and observations are worth noting for all of us.

The fact that this young entrepreneur has shifted her focus from wilderness survival lessons to prepper survivalism is noteworthy. My perception of this woman, like most of the world population, is she is apolitical with a truly caring heart. She simply wants to do that which is right and help mankind.

I have been watching this young lady for a number of years now.  The look of concern and panic in her face in recent videos she has posted cannot go unnoticed.  The law-abiding good Christian people of Austria are becoming lawless in the interest of providing for their families.  Inflation coupled with rising food and energy costs have caused Austrian’s savings do diminish.  They are now living on diminishing returns and they are realizing this.

As I listened to her words while reflecting on other relative current events of these times such as the sabotage of Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, several thoughts crossed my mind;

• All of these “accidents” of fires and explosions around the world relative to our food and energy supply can no longer be thought of as random. One would have to be a perfect idiot to not connect the dots of this being an actual conspiracy with a singular motive rather than continuing to dismiss those who question these occurrences as simple-minded “conspiracy theorists”.
• Those who feel a significant portion of the world’s population needs to die off in order to “save the planet” are operating from false narrative. The real motive is about power and control and a minority of “global elitists” cannot advance their agenda so long as the majority continues to rule.
• There is safety in numbers so one must assume that those who want to starve or freeze out much of the population of the world now are looking to do so for a military logistics advantage and this has nothing to do with “saving the planet”. Covid-19 didn’t do the job so it would seem the globalists have decided to move on to a new phase of their plan.

At some point in time the world population needs to wake up and take back control of this situation.

The motto of, “You will own nothing and you will be happy,” needs change to, “We, the people, are going to take you out, and you are probably not going to be happy.”

He also made the recent public relations rounds of former Attorney General Bill Barr look like nothing more than vindictive ramblings of a partisan (RINO) hack.

FOX News host Sean Duffy asked Mr. Davis for his take on former President Trump and the special master affair.

Sean Davis:

“So the Biden Justice Department and the FBI have a pretty bad track record as it relates to President Trump. We’ve seen that they have weaponized… they have politicized law enforcement repeatedly to get Trump. This is…this was an unprecedented, unnecessary, unlawful home raid on a former president. The whole legal basis for the raid has been blown apart. They went after Trump.

“They said he may have violated the Espionage Act. That’s not even possible. As the commander-in-chief, he can declassify anything he wants. They say he may have stolen or misused government property under the Presidential Records Act and other statutes. That’s just not possible.

“An Obama judge’s 2012 decision that former presidents can take personal records with them when they leave office. So there go the obstruction allegations. It’s legally impossible to obstruct noncrimes like they’re trying to investigate here. There’s a track record of lying in this case. They leaked out that Attorney General Merrick Garland did not personally approve of this raid. That’s a lie.

“They leaked out that Trump had nuclear documents at Mar-a-Lago. That’s a lie. They leaked out that President Biden in the Biden White House did not do not have a heads up about this raid. That’s a lie. President Biden had to waive President Trump’s executive privilege in order to pave the way for this raid. I think Judge Cannon understands that…also…Attorney General Merrick Garland said he deliberated for weeks to make this decision.

“Well, okay. So Trump had these documents for 18 months. The attorney general had to deliberate for weeks, and they waited three days after they got a warrant from this biased magistrate, Judge Bruce Reinhart, who just recused in Trump’s civil lawsuit eight weeks ago. Somehow his bias went away. Why did they wait so long if Trump had such damning records down there? Why did they wait to get these documents?”

Sean Duffy:

“That’s a really good point. But, you know, Mike, here’s what a CNN counterterrorism analyst said about the DNI leading a damage assessment on the Trump documents. Watch.”

Sean Duffy then played a CNN News interview of a Director of National Intelligence (DNI) member, who serves as the head of the U.S. Intelligence Community.

“This is a curious one because typically, if you’re going to do a damage assessment, you know that something bad has already happened. And I don’t mean somebody’s storing documents improperly. I mean, for example, a spy giving away documents to the Russians.”

Sean Duffy:

“Mike, what do you think about the phrase damage assessment being used here?”

Mike Davis:

“They are covering their tracks here because they know that President Trump declassified and took his personal copy of the Crossfire Hurricane records, Russian Collusion records. and those are damning for Biden, Obama, Hillary, Clapper, Susan Rice, the FBI, the intel community… And that’s what has terrified them, and that’s what has precipitated this home raid. And it’s unprecedented. It was unnecessary and unlawful. And that’s why they did this. And this is a cleanup job.”

FOX News personality Duffy then asked, “So, Mike, what are the next steps for Team Trump? Where do they go from here?”

Davis concludes, “So they’ve, they’ve, won this preliminary motion, or it looks like the Judge (Aileen) Cannon is going to rule in their favor. I think Trump needs to file an amended Rule 41 G motion under the federal rules of criminal procedure to get back all of these, this property, all these records that were seized by the…the Biden Justice Department. And he can tee up these legal issues right now with Judge Cannon in the southern district of Florida, get this resolved by Judge Cannon and the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals instead of, you know, some Trump deranged Democrat judge and the D.C. District Court and the D.C. Court of Appeals, I think that President Trump and his legal team need to go on offense.”

CONCLUSION:

Mike Davis is not the first official to bring up Crossfire Hurricane relative to this Mar-a-Lago raid, and this is not the first time we have reported on this being the real reason for this raid.

• “Joe Biden has Three Strikes in August Alone!”

Crossfire Hurricane was the code name for the counterintelligence investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from July 31, 2016, to May 17, 2017.  It investigated alleged links between Russian officials and associates of Donald Trump and “whether individuals associated with (his) presidential campaign were coordinating with the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election”.

President Trump wasn’t investigated until May 2017, when he fired then FBI director James Comey. While the official narrative was his firing of Comey raised suspicions of obstruction of justice, which triggered the Mueller investigation, it should have been viewed for what it was, retribution.  In truth, James Comey should have been fired the first day President Trump took office for letting Secretary of State Hillary Clinton off the hook for her destruction of evidence in the wake of a Congressional subpoena related to the Benghazi fiasco.

Police officers investigating crimes look for the alleged perpetrator to tell just one lie or offer one contradiction.  After that, they pressure the person into interrogation until their whole web of lies unraveled.  This past week former Attorney General Bill Barr told a whopper:

“People say this (the raid of a former president) was unprecedented. Well, it’s also unprecedented for a president to take all this classified information and put them in a country club, OK?”

Barr was either asleep or out of the country in 2016 when Barack Obama left the White House and trucked loads of papers to the airport to be flown by a military cargo plane to Chicago.

The Democrats sabotaged themselves in the Midterm 2022 Election with this Mar-a-Lago raid.  Now, people want to know more about Crossfire Hurricane than anything to come out of any Dem candidate’s mouth on the campaign trail.  Well done, Brandon!
