In other words, she caved from her gun ban and turned it into expansion of gun-free zones. It’s not a true win for the 2nd Amendment as any such restrictions are unconstitutional, but it’s good to see we haven’t quite turned into a full-blown police state.

According to Just The News:

At a press conference on Friday, Michelle Lujan Grisham announced that she was amending her controversial gun order to allow open and concealed carry, except in parks and playgrounds “where we know we have high risk of kids and families,” she said.

The move comes a day after a federal judge temporarily blocked the order and fellow Democratic politicians denounced her plan as unconstitutional. Local law enforcement had refused to enforce the order and the state’s attorney general had refused to defend it in court.

Lujan Grisham, citing recent shootings, had declared a public health emergency centered on gun violence. The executive order signed September 8, included an “action plan” that banned carrying a loaded weapon off of private property in Bernalillo County, which includes Albuquerque. The governor’s office threatened fines of up to $5,000 for violations.

The governor made the changes to the order after “listening to the debate in court,” according to ABC.

“I want to point out that the conversation in that court was pretty clear that we are not wrong about this emergency, or about the issues related to violence, gun violence and public safety generally,” she said.

This was a trial balloon to test the acceptance level for abolishing the 2nd Amendment. We can take it as a small victory, but in reality the powers-that-be learned lessons they will use against us. The battle will continue as incremental stripping of our God-given right to fight tyranny is an ongoing threat.

Ironically, their claim that there is currently “no talk of banning cryptocurrency” hit hard on two levels. First, the need to even state that they’re not talking about it yet means they plan on talking about it in the future. Second, it lines up with theories that the powers-that-be will attempt to piggyback on the popularity of blockchain currencies to force the centralized and fully-controlled digital currencies they want to roll out to the world.

Let’s quickly explain the huge difference between cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and CBDCs like the upcoming “Digital Dollar.” With cryptocurrencies, there is inherent security and privacy because they are decentralized. They aren’t foolproof but they currently act as a relatively untouchable way to hold wealth, albeit in a volatile environment. CBDCs are, by their very nature, centralized and controlled. They may share similarities from a technological perspective but they are diametrically opposite when it comes to authoritarian control over them.

If the globalists, central banks, and most governments have their way, they will regulate cryptocurrencies, then pull a switcheroo and replace them with Central Bank Digital Currencies.

As reported by Madeleine Hubbard at Just The News:

A global consensus on cryptocurrency regulation is emerging from the G20 Summit in New Delhi, India, officials said Sunday.

Gita Gopinath, the International Monetary Fund’s first deputy managing director, said in a video that the Group of 20, which is currently led by India, “helped shape a global perspective on how policymakers should deal with crypto assets.”

IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said India led the way in “setting up a road map for crypto regulations,” and that her organization is “contributing to proposals for a comprehensive policy framework.”

Gopinath said that although principles have been agreed upon, “there is no talk of banning cryptocurrencies, indicating a global consensus against such measures,” according to Indian outlet Business Today.

Rather than legalizing cryptocurrency assets like Bitcoin as legal tender, the guidelines suggest creating licensing and registration processes for crypto asset issuers, focusing on treating the activities similarly.

For the last few years, it has been challenging to deny the benefits of cryptocurrencies in their current form. We promote physical gold and silver because they protect wealth in a tangible form, but cryptocurrencies have enjoyed other benefits that have made them smart investments in the eyes of many.

That appears to be changing.

Letting the globalist elite cabal regulate cryptocurrencies is like putting arsonists in charge of the fire department. They are threatened by cryptocurrencies, but their beloved CBDCs can fix it for them.

This is good news, but there’s a huge asterisk that must be addressed. We weren’t promised a filtered view of the January 6 tapes through elite journalists. Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy said he would release all of the tapes to the public. That hasn’t happened, and unless something changes soon it appears it’s never going to happen.

Two of the journalists selected to receive the tapes are superb. It doesn’t get much better than John Solomon from Just The News and Julie Kelly from American Greatness when it comes to releasing such important information. A third unnamed journalist is also getting the tapes. Since they’re unnamed, we can assume that it’s either a news outlet that still hasn’t decided who’s going to take the lead on the project or it’s a leftist corporate media hack. We’ll know soon enough.

But letting journalists see the tapes and telling us what they found is a far cry from the huge potential benefits of releasing the tapes to the public. Unleashing the power of American patriots to find and disseminate useful information would be exponentially more powerful. We will get some truths from the journalists with access, but it’s impossible for them to find it all regardless of how big their teams are.

On a side note, it’s telling that Congresswoman Greene was selected to deliver the good but not great news. Ever since the GOP won a majority in the House, Greene has been in lockstep with McCarthy. What’s going on with that?

Here are the details of the release from Harold Hutchison from Daily Caller News Foundation:

Marjorie Taylor Greene Announces Release of Jan. 6 Tapes to More Outlets: ‘Unfettered Access’

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia announced Wednesday that the tapes showing the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol building would be released to more journalists.

John Solomon of JustTheNews.com, Julie Kelly of American Greatness and an unnamed outlet will receive “unfettered access” to the over 41,000 hours of video footage of the Capitol riot, the Georgia congresswoman posted on Twitter.

Huge news: As I promised the J6 tapes will be released. @SpeakerMcCarthy will give @jsolomonReports, @Julie_kelly2, and a third outlet unfettered access to the J6 tapes.

Their reporting on it starts tomorrow!

— Marjorie Taylor Greene (@mtgreenee) May 31, 2023

“As I promised the J6 tapes will be released. @SpeakerMcCarthy will give @jsolomonReports, @Julie_kelly2, and a third outlet unfettered access to the J6 tapes,” Greene tweeted. “Their reporting on it starts tomorrow!”

Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California, the Speaker of the House, previously provided then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson, a co-founder of the Daily Caller and Daily Caller News Foundation, access to the tapes, Axios reported. Previous reports indicated that the amount of footage was 14,000 hours.

On March 6, Carlson aired video of the riot that showed Capitol Police officers escorting one protestor, the “QAnon shaman,” through the halls of the building. Carlson also showed video of Republican Sen. John Hawley of Missouri being escorted with other members of Congress from the Capitol, saying the Jan. 6 Committee selectively edited it to target Hawley.

Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York attacked Carlson for airing the footage and demanded that Fox News prevent Carlson from airing more footage. Fox News announced Carlson’s departure April 24.

It turns out the seven arrested for unlawful entry were employees of radical leftist show host Stephen Colbert. They were doing a skit about January 6, banging on doors of Republicans. What we did not know is the biggest bombshell of them all. They were let into the building by Democrat Congressmen Adam Schiff and Jake Auchincloss.

Here’s the original story with the two predictions intact:

Cover-Up: Did Radical Leftists Attempt an “Insurrection” on Capitol Hill Yesterday?

Since corporate media, Democrats, and RINOs are calling unlawful entry on Capitol Hill an “insurrection attempt,” we’ll use their false label for the latest story that’s getting next to no attention from anyone in the press.

Call me cynical, but whenever law enforcement refuses to release the affiliation of suspects in a crime, I instantly assume they were either non-White non-males or part of a leftist organization. Whenever a White male commits a crime, his mugshot is released before the paperwork is filed. Whenever members of a conservative group are involved in a crime, CNN and the NY Times have the scoop and mountains of details provided to them in minutes.

Thursday, there was a breach of the U.S. Capitol Building. We know it was an actual breach and not some random tourists who got lost because they were removed earlier from the building. According to Just The News:

Seven individuals were arrested Thursday night on Capitol Hill and charged with “unlawful entry,” Just the News has learned.

The incident occurred at about 8:30 p.m. in the Longworth House Office Building, across Independence Avenue from the Capitol Building, in Washington, D.C. Law enforcement on Friday confirmed to incident to JTN but did not provide the names of those arrested.

“On June 16, 2022, at approximately 8:30 p.m., U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) received a call for a disturbance in the Longworth House Office Building,” U.S. Capitol Police said in statement.

“Responding officers observed seven individuals, unescorted and without Congressional ID, in a sixth-floor hallway. The building was closed to visitors, and these individuals were determined to be a part of a group that had been directed by the USCP to leave the building earlier in the day.”

The affiliation of the group of people arrested also is unknown at this time.

“This is an active criminal investigation, and may result in additional criminal charges after consultation with the U.S. Attorney,” Capitol Police also said.

I will happily retract my theory if proven wrong, but for now I’m leaning towards this crime being perpetrated by members of a leftist group. I have no evidence of that other than the fact that nearly a day after the incident, we still know nothing. It’s likely the facts will be dropped just before the weekend begins, a tactic used by politicians to bury a story they don’t want talked about in the news.
