VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: “It is lawful to be unlawful—if you’re Joe Biden, according to the courts. But it is unlawful to be lawful—if you’re Donald Trump.”

It is not a legal paradox; it is Bolshevik Justice, which has nothing to do with the law, and everything to enforcing revolutionary agenda.  --Diana West

Thank you to Diana West.  Note that this tweet is from May 2, 2025, a full 4 months ago. 

But what happens when a new president tries to undo that damage done? According to Hanson, the courts have flipped the rules. “The incoming administration who wants to rectify that abuse, in other words, it wants to enforce the law and say that you came in illegally and you shouldn't have because of the prior laxity of this government, now you've got to leave because you're still breaking the law.” But the courts are not applying the law evenly: “And they’re stopping these deportations for the most part.” Hanson concluded: “It is lawful to be unlawful—if you’re Joe Biden, according to the courts. But it is unlawful to be lawful—if you’re Donald Trump.” In other words, the rogue judiciary can pick and choose when the law applies or not.

DIANA WEST: yes, immigration [is] an important, important tactic used by the Communists to infiltrate the United States and other Western countries

the Communist Party never really trusted it's American acolytes.  Always wanted to have foreign born controllers here.  I mean this is a matter of command and control.  So right from the Russian Revolution forward, you see the Left, the Communist Left, the fellow Travelers agitating for immigration in order to be able to bring in these kinds of people, bring in these Legions who are also hostile to the American way as part of their unrestricted warfare we might call it today.  --Diana West

7:35. Stanley Rothman's book on the new left.  He made the point there that there are two counter types on the new left: the gentile people on the new left, who are in genuine revolt against the families, and the Jews who were supportive by the families.  

7:45.  It does continue today, and I would even add that the New Left in my experience and in analysis, I go into this in The Red Thread, the New Left was just a name, a new name, for a younger generation of the Old Left.  They tried to pretend that it was something different.  It really wasn't.  It was just a continuation of the same communist war against America.  But that is true, and these people replicate themselves.  You mentioned we only scratched the surface in terms of outing any of these people.  Most of them never suffered anything in terms of coming to trial for, say, treason or something, something serious like that.  That did not happen except they point to the Rosenberg case. I always think of them as sort of small fry in a much larger conspiracy, one conspiracy amongst so many.  So these people were never truly revealed the thought of people like Whittaker Chambers, and Elizabeth BentleyIgor Gouzenko, the defector out of Canada, they believe there were multiple rings that were being run in the middle of the 20th century that never ever were exposed.  Now they only had a window into one or two of these rings and some other people, so if you had all these other rings running inside the federal bureaucracy, well, who did those people ensure moved into their seats, into their slots, into their network after they left?  So we've seen this replication of regenerations of like-minded people who are, now, we call it the Deep State, now call it the Swamp, but this is the origin of it, and it does go back that far. People tend to think everything went wrong with Obama, you know, talking about the short memory we observe.  But it goes back at least 100 years in terms of the assault.  Also, through immigration, to tip onto your bailiwick here, but the notion that the Communist Party never really trusted it's American acolytes.  Always wanted to have foreign-born controllers here.  I mean this is a matter of command and control.  So right from the Russian Revolution forward, you see the Left, the Communist Left, the fellow Travelers agitating for immigration in order to be able to bring in these kinds of people, bring in these Legions who are also hostile to the American way as part of their unrestricted warfare we might call it today. 

10:13.  Can you tell us what the Venona transcripts are?

10:20.  Sure, they even know the transcripts are decrypts, about 2000 released decrypts of KGB conversations that took place largely in the 1940s that were copied by Western Union during World War II.  And they were actually along the order of something like 2 million of these communications.  We only have about 2,000 that have been released, and they attest to the maneuvering and more administrative in some ways, activities of Soviet agents working here, many of them, hundreds of them, inside the federal government and surrounding institutions with their controllers with Moscow Center.  They were released, it is important to know, by the US government by the intelligence agencies.  So in other words, it wasn't as if there was a wholesale release and scholars could go pick and choose what they would like to read.  We were given a set of these things and we've been using them ever since sort of to corroborate what the actual deal . . . 

11:25.  When were they released?

11:26.  They were released in the 1990s . . . I would say early 90s, 1993, '94. After we started seeing some revelations coming out of Moscow, not before.  Again, they were control-released by government authorities in the former Soviet Union.  So, in other words, we do see this not as something really a free-wheeling revelation, but a controlled revelation which has been very helpful but I do not believe it attests to what was really known inside the security agencies.

12:02.  So the question is why doesn't Donald Trump just order them to be released?

12:06.  I don't know if he's aware of this particular not you know at this point Tempest I mean I wish I actually Drew up a plan to declassifier in Chief in 2016 because there are just piles and piles probably miles and miles archives that should be of archives that should be unredacted and released to the public that go back 100 years 80 years spy rings that everyone is long deceased of black ink if you look at the paperwork and then going forward through so many other scandals that have been kept from the American people and important National Security issues that tend to by staying secret perpetuate the power of the swamp the stature of the traitors in our midst and all the rest of it.  They don't protect anyone good in other words.

13:04.  One of the things that fascinates me about this is this is so often hereditary.  That's one of the things that Rothman pointed out the new Left literally was the second generation of the old left and of course they've continued to reproduce themselves the strong personal connections across the generations.  One of my other great interests is you know have a great speech which Enoch Powell who gave a great speech that kicked off the immigration debates in Britain in 1968 and Powell was sort of like a subtle Trump in that he was able to throw bombs and can then defend himself one of the bombs he threw in the years after he gave his great speech on immigration and was a major figure in British politics, conducting a kind of guerilla war against the establishment.  At one point, he said he wondered if the revelations about communist infiltration the Hallmark of the Department of Interior for them that there had been communist infiltration there, if it hadn't continued to be responsible for the Paradox of the immigration policy where they're letting in people who were obviously of course his point was he simply said I said I wonder I wonder about it I wonder about it too in the context of the US where is immigration policy in the US come from?

14:46.  Absolutely there has to be because no Institution was impervious to the same kind of subversion infiltration embeddedness.  I mean this is what you really do start to get a better sense of when you look at the Venona, the Vasiliaev, the FBI declassifications, the Senate sessions, that were declassified later, you know, the executive sessions later declassified.  I mean this is what comes through loud and clear.  Many of our lawmakers had a real handle on it going back to the 1950s and we're doing things about it but they were constantly assaulted by the same left and media infiltration is also something real.  Whittaker Chambers wrote about the communist cell in Time Magazine.  We know about the various departments and agencies of the US government that were infiltrated.  So, yes, immigration is an important, important tactic here.  As I mentioned earlier you know there was a very good Roosevelt, I consider him, Archibald Roosevelt, who is the son of Teddy Roosevelt.  He was very big on unmasking communist infiltration, and he gave a really important testimony before Congress in the mid 50s.  And he was discussing how communism used immigration everywhere to advance their armies going back to the Russian Revolution and forward.  He was using the example, for example, Hungary after the Russian Revolution.  You saw Bolsheviks entering Hungary after World War II, the same, so that by the time you get to the takeover in 1956 of Hungary you had this whole Trojan Army in place and he was making the case at the same thing happened here.  So you are exactly dead on in terms of people coming in through immigration and then the government pushing for this kind of thing from the Left.  I mean again, it's always the same kind of combination.  You actually have the hardened actors and agents then you have your fellow travelers who believe in the same goals, and you also have your dupes.  I mean always with these activities there are so many people who have no idea they are being manipulated, however, they are part of essentially what we might think of as communist fronts.  Our government becomes a  Communist front, various sectors of a Communist front once there is this kind of infiltration.  I mean just look at the Roosevelt White House, where you have senior advisors to the president later unmasked just in Venona as Soviet agents, whether it was Lachlan Currie, some of the other people in the offices there.  The case against Harry Hopkins is quite strong.  I go through that piece by piece in American Betrayal.  I mean these were the men influencing American policy making at the highest level.  So, yes, it definitely happened in the State Department we know, and the related immigration agencies.  Has to be.  Has to be.

17:42.  The Red Thread is basically your account of how the intelligence agencies organized a coup against Trump.  Just tell us who the chief actors were.

18:03.  We're looking at your Brennans, your Comeys, your Clappers, your Nelly Ohr from the group Fusion GPS that came up with the  dossier.  Christopher Steele her opposite number of former MI6, she had . . even

18:21.  are you saying these people obviously had left wing connections obviously before we even saw them doing this kind of thing.

18:31.  Well I don't think they were obvious to anyone but themselves.  But they are obvious to anyone who takes a look to see what motivates these people.  I mean what motivates these people could I find their ideas because they are such cyphers when you see them in testifying or in print or just look at their CVs.  You don't really know who they are except officials but it turned out there was quite a lot of information about a number of them often in their own words, whether their college thesis.  John Brennan, for example, I mean, James Comey, for example, or John Brennan's Master thesis.  His own John Brennan actually fessed up in public that he had been, that he had voted for Gus Hall in 1976 in his CIA interview and was not cut off.  I mean this is such an extraordinary thing.

19:29.  People tend to think of the FBI particularly the CIA as being right wing.  But of course the Nazis started it all particularly the CIA it's always been a liberal establishment operation.

19:41.  It's always been prey to infiltrators it's been prey to disinformation and party to it I mean this is the reality that we have to accept about these agencies the FBI I think fell at a later date but when you look at James Comey's own writings, his own behaviors he's a very much an "ends justifies the means" social justice warrior.  His ideal to this day starting from the time he was a young man and a self-professed communist at William and Mary was Reinhold Neibuhr.  He claims Reinhold Neibuhr to this day as his leading intellectual influence.  Well, Reinhold Neibuhr especially in the writings that Comey cites as having been so in influential on him was essentially a Marxist in a clerical collar, someone who was always pro-Soviet, pushing for recognition of the Soviet Union in the 1930s, always an opponent of the anti-communist of the day.  He had a very clear record of writings actually, even proselytizing for violent overthrow of the established order on college campuses in the 1930s.  I mean he was a real radical.  And when you actually look at Comey the Communist falling in love intellectually . . .

21:00.  Do you think that Comey has left wing connections when he was at college?

21:02.  I don't know what connections he had but he described himself as a communist his own words in 2003 and my point being that Reinhold Neibuhr being his intellectual leader back when he was a communist it is very strange to me that someone who was not a communist is still so guided by him in terms of his communist leanings, social justice, using the law to redistribute wealth and justice, and these are the main ideas of Reinhold Neibuhr in the writings that Comey draws from.  So he's certainly not your typical FBI recruit who would have come in under J Edgar Hoover.  I mean this is what happened to that agency and he ran it.  And was involved in this Palace coup against the president along with all of these other ideological cohorts Christopher Steele, . . . 

21:58.  What did you think they were . . . the curious thing about this is that it developed after the election. I guess they thought . . . what do you think they were actually aiming to do to, get him impeached, or what? 

22:10.  Well, I think hey they were trying to protect themselves and what had been going on inside this government for generations. I mean I think that the fact that they all took such dangerous steps rather than just simply let Trump go come back in 2 years, take over the Congress, I mean that's what we normally do when you get thrown out of power, you come back into power.  So there was something abnormal here about these machinations, this International conspiracy that certainly efforts to subvert the election, the presidency, and the rest of it, and spy on the domestic opposition, that is not normal.  And so when you ask yourself why would they risk everything, of course they assumed Hillary would win, but still do the seditious things, you have to start wondering what the game really was.  My assessment of it is that they were, A) trying to cover everything up that they'd been doing; B) I think ideologically they could not be more opposed to Donald Trump and everything he stands for because he is the man who came to build the nation, again to impose, you know, to build a wall, to impose the immigration controls, to bring manufacturing home; in other words, to interrupt the New World Order, which had been in perfect motion since certainly 1945 in terms of taking away our sovereignty, our nationalism, and everything else, and ending up with this Global type governance, and International economy, and all the rest of it.  And going back to that period . . . just remember who set up the UN, who set up the IMF.  Two Soviet agents who worked very high, at high levels in the American government: Alger Hiss at the UN, and Harry Dexter White at the IMF.  I mean that's pretty astonishing when you actually think about it and where we are.

24:00.  I was very taken with the releases of the list of journalists in 2008 and 9 when it became obvious that all of these Elite Left-wing journalist from different and allegedly.

25:50.  Well they'd work it out and publish it in a daily worker and other organs I mean it was a much slower day right now you can look on Twitter and look at the thought leaders and sort of pick it up right there.  They probably don't need anything like journalists although they may have one I don't know but yes you notice the coordination you notice the pressure to coordinate the pressure not to say something else that's a big part of this as well some of it is staged I'm sure as you say some of it I think becomes a psychological just a psychological on scene pressure I mean people definitely know how to play up to someone and make sure their career continues in a certain way right?  So someone I mean it is like a mass kind of psychosis I guess

DIANA WEST: the subject of American Betrayal is to study that subversion, the communization of our government, our institutions through the stealth aggression of Soviet agents, straight-up Soviet agents, assets, contacts, fellow Travelers, useful fools, who are fanned out in our government in a very meaningful way

Big Lies, Viral Tweets and American Betrayal by Diana W

Read on Substack

It's only been about a week since Putin cycled through Magadan, the edge of Russia and went to a Lend-Lease Memorial and then popped over to Alaska for his visit with Trump.  But it has been a World War II kind of week ever since for me.  I ended up being quite struck by the symbolism that was absolutely over everyone's heads, because, why wouldn't it be? We're never taught these things.  So if you haven't read American Betrayal, which is part of this week's story, you would not know, I didn't know until I researched this and put it in American Betrayal, Magadan, for example, was the transport point.  It was actually a slave built, Soviet slave built, city transit point for the Arctic Circle: gold mining camps, timber, logging camps, and so on, gulag camps, very notorious Kolyma Gulag is in this region.  And in American Betrayal, Magadan comes up in a memoir that was recorded in the 1990s by an eyewitness to seeing American troops in Magadan transiting into that harshest gulag system so that kind of hits you hard when you know that, and you don't see anyone else knowing that.  "Oh, Putin is in Magadan!" and he went to this particular Monument, "Oh, a symbol of Russian-American cooperation!" and he lays a wreath, he lays roses.  He didn't go to the Magadan Mask of Sorrow Monument, 1996, to commemorate the pain and suffering of tens of thousands of poor slaves. including Americans, who were forced into labor camps and so on.  And these would have been American POWs, perhaps I didn't mention that.  Who are discussed in the American Betrayal of soldiers going back really to World War I but really in every war we've ever fought with the Soviet Union, as well as China we've had men left behind, and this is always been denied and turned into a kind of cartoon.  The first real inkling in the public imagination came from the Rambo movies, 1982, which seemed very cartoonish to most people but this was a real story.  Indeed the big shock is the 15 to 20,000 Americans soldiers GIs who had been in German Nazi POW camps when the Soviets came through and took possession of those lands they transited into the gulag system never to return home, and something like 20,000 plus, 30,000, Nationals belonging to the British Empire at the time, British, Canadian, New Zealanders, etc.  They too were left behind so we had this massive cover-up, which is detailed in the book, Chapter 11 of American Betrayal.  But these kinds of images, this history, is encased in the word "Magadan," in the Land Lease statue, and all the rest of it.  It was presented to the American people, to anyone who is paying attention these days, as a symbol of Russian-American cooperation, and Putin puts his bouquet there and goes and does his whatever happened in Alaska with Trump.  And again it was not Russian-American cooperation, it was Soviet-American subversion and the lesson of American Betrayal, the subject of American Betrayal is to study that subversion, the communization of our government, our institutions through the stealth aggression of Soviet agents, straight-up Soviet agents, assets, contacts, fellow Travelers, useful fools, who are fanned out in our government in a very meaningful way.  There's a word I cannot stand, it's not a real word, "impactful way."  I'm only using that to make fun of it no but with an impact to bring an impact starting in a very serious way in the FDR years in the early 1930s and this is the story of the opening of that Network these networks that American Betrayal begins with as Whittaker Chambers arrives in Washington DC in 1934 around the same time in the same season as a man named William Wirt arrived to testify as to what he knew about these networks, what he knew about these secret communist plans to overthrow our government.  I mean this is what he knew, that he would be made fun of derided, turned into a laughing stock by the Democrats in Congress, by the president of the United States Franklin Delano Roosevelt, even though everything he said was true. And Whitaker Chambers would slip into the secret world of communist subversion in Washington DC as a Soviet military Intelligence officer until his defection.  And indeed the first contact the first agent that he was to meet on arriving in Washington DC in 1934 was a man named Alger Hiss who would go into the state department and be one of his most important contacts not the only one by a long shot.  This is kind of the real story of this period, not that there was a singularly one Alger Hiss and then two Rosenbergs and maybe a couple of other people that we sort of play with from time to time as if they were somehow singular in any way.  This has been the dumbing down of our dumb down already history into thinking there were just several players who spied, they stole secrets, is the other big canard of the conventional wisdom, the court historians who dominate this field and indeed were part of the cabal or were the cabal came after American Betrayal.  I was opening up the canvas they were busy shrinking it, and that's essentially our disagreement.  There were a lot of other pieces of it but that sort of is in brief but they don't want you to know the extent they'd rather that we focus on these few including the Rosenbergs who we're almost beside the point as far as believe me the Soviet Union would have had the atomic bomb, or whatever it was that they ended up having, in that time frame without the Rosenberg.  There were so many other scientists involved, there were so many other networks involved, even in America, in Britain, in Canada.  This was just a massive leak is not the word.  It was just a massive transfer of information and materiel, including through that Land Lease line, which is another reason that that kind of grips me when those who portray land lease as some kind of Russian-American cooperation to defeat Hitler.  It was an absolute ransacking of American materiel in all mass Industries, trains, gasoline, oil industry, refineries, all kinds of things, all kinds of precious metals.  The lists are in American Betrayal.  If you're interested in pursuing that and it also included the transfer against the military embargoes imposed by General Grove of the Los Alamos Atomic Project, the embargo on uranium. Uranium was barely known and there was very little of it in terms of the experimental uranium that was being processed to create these atomic piles, these experimental piles and eventually the bombs that were dropped unnecessarily, as I will argue, on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  But there was an embargo on this material and lo and behold it was going out through the Lend Lease as detailed in American betrayal according to extremely important and very valid valuable witness George Racy Jordan who was an administrator, an expeditor of Lend-Lease materiel in Canada going over across Alaska into the Soviet Union, all this stuff.  And it's great it's actually quite thrilling story that George Racy Jordan tells with lots of details that we've confirmed and so on.  I didn't even mean to go into a big discussion of these details but these are the kinds of facts that the symbolism of Magadan to Lynn lease should be at our fingertips and are not because we have been taught lies Court history and that's where we come back to the big fight over American betrayal so this is how the week started with my own questioning actually of why it is that we still live with these long-ago figures from history, the necessity it seems on the part of the dominant media and voice, to continue denigrating and demonizing Joe McCarthy, Senator Joe McCarthy, for example, which doesn't stop.  The man has been dead for nearly 80 years and yet we continue to flog his carcass figuratively speaking although sometimes it actually feels like a strange fetish like it's not so metaphorical.  But we just had this play, this prestige play, project, starring George Clooney on Broadway, Good Night and Good Luck, where he plays way past his age plays Edward R. Murrow to go after McCarthy it was a property actually made as a 2005 movie 20 years ago.  He felt the need to do it again, and it became one of these events where all the celebrities of the left cycled through: the Obamas, Bono, and all these people come to this and it's almost like they just renew their vows to damn McCarthy to Hell in their own hellscape because, of course, he was our own Patriot who almost turned things around for this country.  But again, Oppenheimer why, why did we have to teach the young about this lie that Oppenheimer was not a communist?  Of course, he was, and I recently posted further evidence that he was probably an agent of some kind.  It's an interesting story that I posted on an eyewitness account of NKVD materiel that did designate Oppenheimer in the vast War chart of espionage as an agent.  I mean agent means something alone, agent.  Agent means agent. It's not "confidential agent," it's not "agent of War," it's not "agent of influence," it's agent, which is a conscience gatherer and funneler is Secret funneler of information and so on and other activities which are divine and peace of the KGB lexicon but we also have other evidence of his coordination with passing information and so on from other sources.  We have to continue to exonerate Oppenheimer in the popular scene.  The court historians at this point will tell you, "No, he was a communist after all."  They've given us that after decades of fighting that piece of it.  But the question becomes why are these figures so important to perpetuate in a situation where most Americans know nothing about anything and yet this has to become part of the popular understanding.  Demonize McCarthy, applaud Oppenheimer, the Rosenbergs were guilty. I mean these are the things we are supposed to take with us into the great night ahead, the Utopia ahead.  It's actually here.  So this is kind of how the week began and I was thinking about these things and I actually made a broadcast for Curtis Bowers agenda weekly which I hope will be up soon talking about some of this at some greater length and then boom all of a sudden couple of days ago up Pops a mention in the most viral clip out there these days millions of views it's a one and a half to two minute clip from a recent Tucker Carlson show with a Cornell chemistry professor, Dave Callum.  Dave Columbus someone I've appeared on a show about American betrayal before a year ago or so on the Mike Ferris show which I appeared on several times and Dave Callum has always been very complimentary of American Betrayal.  He got a lot of his friends to read it from what I can tell.  But in this viral clip the book is actually not mentioned but I am mentioned, Diana West, is the trigger for his doing what he described as he did a mini Daryl Cooper on World War II so Diana West wrote a book and then he mentioned some of the things from my book vaguely without attributing them to my book and talking about doing a "mini Daryl Cooper" on World War II, and coming to a point where you can make the argument, this chemistry professor spitballing, he says, "You can make the argument that we should have supported Hitler in World War II against the Soviets, against Stalin," and then he mentioned something apocryphal

RAYOFREEDOM: This is California in 1984. Democrats haven’t [given] a damn about the American working class since . . . they realized immigration was the key to power.

This is how California could be, but Reagan's amnesty bill for 3 million illegal aliens killed it.

Then the state tried to save itself with California Proposition 187, which would have pushed illegals out of the state by cutting off their access to public services. But that was outlawed by judicial tyranny.
So now, with the amnesty bill having added perhaps over a million paper Americans and millions upon millions pouring in with the hope of more amnesty (and their kids becoming voters), Gavin gets to run the formerly Golden State into the ground.

BILL CLINTON, 1998: "Thanks to mass immigration, whites will be a minority in America." Listen to what the audience applauds

The above speech is not Clinton's State of the Union Speech given in 1998. 

It was a commencement address to the graduating class of 1998 at Portland [Oregon] State University.   Given on June 13, 1998.  President Clinton gave the commencement address at Portland (OR) State University in which he laid out his administration's policy regarding immigration

But now we are being tested again - by a new wave of immigration larger that any in a century, far more diverse than any in our history. Each year, nearly a million people come legally to America. Today, nearly one in ten people in America was born in another country; one in five schoolchildren is from immigrant families. Today, largely because of immigration, there is no majority race in Hawaii or Houston or New York City. Within five years there will be no majority race in our largest state, California. In a little more than 50 years there will be no majority race in the United States. No other nation in history has gone through demographic change of this magnitude in so short a time.

DIANA WEST: family courts [in England] to be determined by Sharia, which have all kinds of inequality for women, you know, women need for, well, this would be a criminal case, but under the Sharia, women need 4 witnesses to a rape to bring charges

What you're looking at is the confluence, the sort of affinity of totalitarianism, and what I mean by that is despotism, or we call it in a 20th century, totalitarianism, and Islam have great commonality: the control factor.  --Diana West
from Michael Farris @ "Coffee and a Mike" Show.  

4:05.  I had kind of a baptism by fire if you will in an education on Islam because at the time of 9/11 very few people knew anything about it and as I was struggling to learn I was immediately coming up against obstacles and censorship and ostracism you name it and I was very conscious of what language could be used, what the freight would bear in the public square because I was writing newspaper columns I was writing editorials at the Washington Times and also going out over the wire so I was acutely aware of what could be said, what should be said, what wasn't being said, along about a few months into all of this terrible frenzy that happened at that time after the destruction of the twin towers and the Pentagon and the plane over Pennsylvania.

7:40  The silence on Islam protects Islam.

18:14. You know they are not a fan of their government they are from there there's a reason why they left there. Some of them are Muslims, some of them are not anymore.  They are Americanized now but they're good people, right? And I'm not saying you're saying that but in just in terms of . . . 

18:38.  I was just going to say the anecdotal and the personal is not how we do statecraft however I think the wise answer to that is from a writer and ex-Muslim, named Ibn Warraq, whose book I very . . . I mean it was very happenstance.  On 9/11 or I guess it was probably 9/11 or 9/12, I went to my local bookstore.  We still had bookstores all the way back then.  This was Borders Books in Westchester County, New York that's where I lived at the time which is about an hour outside of New York City and so the Islam shelf had been pretty much cleared out when I wanted to go buy a Quran and I wanted to start getting some books cuz I was going to start writing and thinking and all of that. One of the books I came to was a book by Ibn Warraq who was an ex-Muslim, and he wrote a book called, Why I am not a Muslim, 1995, and it's very fascinating overview of all of these issues.  He loves his family.  He has family members who don't even know he left Islam and he writes under a pseudonym and he says that it's not that there is no such thing as a moderate Muslim, however, and there is no moderate Islam and so there is wiggle room for anybody inside any sort of system but the system itself is what we would call extreme it's not exceptional it is sanctioned by the Quran mainstream writings, the Quran itself, the Hadith, the Surah, all of these Macy's for the religion sanctioned these things and so whether somebody is falling away or leaves it and you have to keep that secret because apostasy is a capital crime in Islam.  You know, it is literally a death penalty offense to leave Islam.  But if you are, you know, finding a new way on your own, that's a separate issue.  But in terms of the Sharia, which we see Sharia courts I think they first started coming into England probably about 10 no over a dozen years ago, family courts to be determined by Sharia, which have all kinds of inequality for women, you know, women need for, well, this would be a criminal case, but under the Sharia, women need 4 witnesses to a rape to bring charges.  You know the inheritance laws, etc., very anti-woman.  So these kinds of things start seeping into society regardless of a moderation of an individual.  So that is kind of where I'm coming from.  It's very important to keep the tenants and the mainstream classical sources of this in mind.

22:13.  Do you feel that in all your research because I like I look at this and I think especially, let's talk about Europe for a second because to me it's the European governments these countries that allowed all this.  I mean I know Belgium is way out of hand England France Ireland my friend Matt Bracken was just over Ireland Germany, . . . 

. . . .Denmark, Norway, . . . 

. . . Spain and Italy part of this too?

22:42.  all of them, all of them to varying degrees.  You're right you're absolutely right this had to be enabled and this is where I get to the next big thought I wanted to throw around which has to do with what is sometimes referred to as the red green axis.  So red being communism green being Islam why would the two work together we were looking at the influence of these governments these are not native Islamic governments.  These are European for the most part.  I mean England has very much changed to a lot of Islamic British people who now run cities, but they are Islamic, you know, the mayors, and so on, and so many of that.  But I'm not talking about that.  I'm talking about the native born, the indigenous peoples of Europe enabled this, or their governments certainly.  What you're looking at is the confluence, the sort of affinity of totalitarianism, and what I mean by that is despotism, or we call it in a 20th century, totalitarianism, and Islam have great commonality: the control factor.

23:57.  The control of Islam is not just control controlling the politics of the world; there is the law, and there is a law that comes down to your most personal behavior, literally, including how you wash yourself and things like that, and which hand goes first in various extremely private acts. These are all written out in terms of law.  So it is a what there's been numerous historians pretty much between the middle of the 19th century and the middle of the 20th century, who made these observations about how before we come to the word totalitarian, but how despotic Islam is, the control system, law, religion, you know, culture, everything under control and written out.  And then when you marry that to the strain of Marxism that became Bolshevism first after the Russian Revolution and so on, there is a tremendous synergy between them as control systems.  And so you see numerous thinkers, experts in Sharia law, experts in communism, coming to this very interesting conclusion that I think does explain why you see this red green axis.  Look at the latest anti-Trump, anti Netanyahu protest that's been called in Washington DC outside the White House.  If you look at the sponsors

RAYMOND IBRAHIM: [Trump] also called the treatment of Christians in the region “beyond disgraceful,” saying Christianity was being “treated horribly and very unfairly — it’s criminal.”

On June 1, President Donald Trump issued a statement to commemorate Global Coptic Day. Among other things, he said:

“Today, I join the Coptic Orthodox Christian community in observing Global Coptic Day… Tracing its roots to Saint Mark, the apostle of Jesus Christ and the evangelist who brought the Christian faith to Egypt in the first century, the Coptic Church has been a beacon of Christendom in Africa for nearly 2,000 years. The Coptic community has left an indelible mark on the hearts of millions of Christians — most evidently seen in their timeless contributions to Christian theology and culture. This Global Coptic Day, we also pause to reflect upon the vicious and ongoing persecution of Coptic Orthodox Christians in Africa and across the Middle East. In 2015, 21 Coptic construction workers were brutally executed by ISIS terrorists in Libya. Like persecuted Christians all around the world, these heroic martyrs refused to renounce their faith. They exemplified sacrificial love and steadfast devotion to God, even in the face of certain death. The Copts’ persistence amid relentless persecution is a living testament to their unbreakable resolve and fearless dedication to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”

Trump’s statement is obviously powerful, but it’s more than that — it is rare. Unlike his predecessors, Trump has consistently acknowledged the brutal and ongoing persecution of Christians in the Muslim world, especially in Egypt, where Copts have long endured systemic violence, discrimination, and neglect.

And that persecution continues till this day. One week after Trump’s statement, the Virgin Mary Church in Luxor, Egypt, became the latest to go up in flames. So-called “accidental” church fires have become disturbingly commonplace in Egypt, with authorities reflexively ruling out arson often before an investigation even begins.  

. . . 

Nor is this a new position for Trump. During his first term, he addressed the issue bluntly. In 2020, he remarked on the “ongoing challenges facing the largest Christian group [Copts] in the Middle East,” emphasizing the need to “acknowledge the importance of religious freedom” and to “reaffirm our commitment to promoting and defending this core tenet of a free society.”

That year, he also called the treatment of Christians in the region “beyond disgraceful,” saying Christianity was being “treated horribly and very unfairly — it’s criminal.”

Perhaps most memorably, following the 2017 massacre of 28 Copts — including 10 children — by Islamic gunmen in Egypt, Trump stated:

“This merciless slaughter of Christians in Egypt tears at our hearts and grieves our souls… America makes clear to its friends, allies, and partners that the treasured and historic Christian communities of the Middle East must be defended and protected. The bloodletting of Christians must end, and all who aid their killers must be punished.”

LINUXHIPPIE: the resistance movement wants "legitimacy," and if the Trump Admin continues to be overwhelmed by "Staged Dramatics" and fails to respond to open defiance of Federal Law by Governors, Mayors, et al, they will likely succeed in achieving their minimum success criteria....negation of the current Admin's agenda

Sen Minority Leader Schumer sponsoring Legislation (No Kings Act, 2024) echoing the already "trademarked" and merchandized "No Kings" riots planned for this weekend (to coincide with US Army Birthday celebration---negating it) --linuxhippie

2) From a purely objective POV, the coincidence of Judicial Interference (Judges reference No Kings) to Sen Minority Leader Schumer sponsoring Legislation (No Kings Act, 2024) echoing the already "trademarked" and merchandized "No Kings" riots planned for this weekend (to coincide with US Army Birthday celebration---negating it)..... The continued theater by Democrat Politicians about "kneeling" to the executive (they had no problem kneeling for a drug addicted criminal when it suited them btw) and last but not least____THE DEAFENING SILENCE OF THE SENATE MAJORITY LEADER THUNE........

Are clear indicators that the "Mass Line" has been established and the "Movement" toward confrontation is well underway. 

5) When a Marxist Insurgency being lead by State Gov, City Mayors, and Federally Elected Senator's and Congressman is allowed to deploy across the Nation..... When those same people are openly calling for Troops (Ted Lieu) to disobey orders "they" deem unlawful (sedition?) and the Senate Majority Leader of the Presidents own Party remains silent........we have a problem. That problem becomes existential when those who advise the President and provide him counsel don't recognize it with this level of clarity. The theater with Sec Neom is an indicator (the Sen should've been charged) and the march to his office (Thune should've thrown them out and warned them they were in violation of Senate Rules).....

Indicate we are right back where we were when last we had a President Trump. The GOP is the Controlled Opposition (i.e., they are allowing events by not intervening) and the entire Democrat Party is the violent splinter..... 

6) In order to defend, one must know what is being attacked and the what the enemy's goals are. To be confused about this is to be "Strategically Dislocated" and ensures that responses will likely be "under-inclusive" to the threat and will fail. That is the goal of all this noise, and it's working. It's keeping the Admin in a "action/reaction" cycle that the left controls. As crazy as the left "APPEARS" to be on the street, those organizing these events are completely sane and have very clear objectives in mind. They have templated actions to achieve a "minimum success criteria" (a DST Decision Support Template) and are prepared to overachieve.

7) "Negotiated Settlement" is always the goal when the Insurgency doesn't have the combat power to overthrow by force of arms the existing Government. "Dialogue and Praxis" slowly, overtime, erodes the targets ability to generate a coherent defense of what is being attacked. (that's where we are) Open Communications like "No Kings" is C3 of the resistance movement. They want "legitimacy" and if the Trump Admin continues to be overwhelmed by these "Staged Dramatics" (Noem event) and fails to respond to open defiance of Federal Law by Governors, Mayors, and State/ Local Law Enforcement, they will likely succeed in achieving their minimum success criteria....negation of the current Admin's agenda and place Trump's Presidency (that YOU voted for) in jeopardy. (GOP's goal)

The whole introduction, mandate, and enforcement of masks on shoppers, on employees, on patients visiting is simply a society-wide abuse along the lines if Abu Ghraib in Iraq some 20 years ago in 2004.
