Do you ever get the feeling you’re being lied to? 450,390 people have now died WITH the coronavirus in the US this year.
That number includes poisonings, shootings, homicides and hospice deaths.
Only 6% of all deaths in the US classified as Coronavirus deaths actually died from the China Coronavirus exclusively.

I think it’s crazy I’m the one who they labeled as controversial
And Cardi B is the role model for twelve year old girls
There’s rappers pushing Xanax at the top of the Billboard
But if I mention race in a song I’m scared I’ll get killed for it
It’s backwards, it’s getting exponentially dumb
It’s more difficult to get a job than purchase a gun
Eminem used to gay bash and murder his mom
And now he doesn’t want fans if they voted for Trump
We’re ashamed to be American, you should probably love it
‘Cause you have the right to say it and not get strung up in public
As children we were taught how to walk and talk
But the system wants adults to sit down and shut up
Cancel culture runs the world now, the planet went crazy
Label everything we say as homophobic or racist
If you’re white then you’re privileged, guilty by association
All our childhood heroes got MeToo’d or they’re rapists
They never freed the slaves
They realized that they don’t need to change
They gave us tiny screens, we think we free ’cause we can’t see the cage
They knew that race war would be the game they’d need to play
For people to pick teams, they use the media to feed the flame
They so fake woke, facts don’t care about feelings
They know they won’t tell me what to believe in
They so fake woke, same old, safe zones
They so fake woke, facts don’t care about your feelings
I think it’s crazy how these people screaming “facts” but they fake woke
Hate their neighbor ’cause he wears a mask or he stays home
Has a daughter but his favorite artist said he slays hoes
Picks her up from school, music slaps on the way home
Censorship’s an issue ’cause they choose what they erase
There’s a difference between hate speech and speech that you hate
I think Black Lives Matter was the stupidest name
When the system’s screwing everyone exactly the same
I just wanna spend Thanksgiving Day with food and my family
Without being accused of celebrating native casualties
We got so divided as black and white and political
Republicans are bigots, libtards if you’re liberal

One of the most common arguments made by Democrats, RINOs, and their allies in the media, to disprove voter fraud in the November election is that every single voter fraud case that’s been tried in the courts has failed.
Americans need to keep their eyes on upcoming court cases related to election fraud. SCOTUS Blog lists an astounding 21 election fraud-related cases they’re watching.
One case that’s not making news in the Democrat Party’s mainstream media is a decision made by a Virginia judge on Monday. The judge ruled that last-minute changes made by election officials to allow absentee ballots with missing or illegible postmarks to be counted is illegal.
Washington Examiner- “This is a big win for the Rule of Law,” said Public Interest Legal Foundation President J. Christian Adams, who represented Frederick County electoral board member Thomas Reed in the case. “This consent decree gives Mr. Reed everything he requested — a permanent ban on accepting ballots without postmarks after Election Day and is a loss for the Virginia bureaucrats who said ballots could come in without these protections.”
One win for Virginia voters who care about election integrity.
It’s a pity this practice wasn’t stopped BEFORE the ballots were tabulated in the November election.
AND THEN THERE'S THIS:
Joe Biden signed an executive order today that banned the term “China virus.” It’s not clear how this will help with the pandemic. The coronavirus is widely believed today to have been created in a lab in Wuhan China. This was one of his 37 executive orders in six days.
A German district court has declared a strict lockdown imposed by the government of the central state of Thuringia last spring unconstitutional, as it acquitted a person accused of violating it.
A trivial case about a man violating strict German lockdown rules by celebrating a birthday with his friends has ended up in a decision the German media described as “politically explosive.” A district court in the city of Weimar did not just acquit the defendant but also stated that the authorities themselves breached Germany's basic law.
Thuringia's spring lockdown was a “catastrophically wrong political decision with dramatic consequences for almost all areas of people's lives,” the court said, justifying its decision. It particularly condemned a restriction limiting private gatherings to the members of one household and one person outside of it. It was this regulation that a local man violated by hosting a party attended by his seven friends.
Yet, the judge said that the regional government itself violated the “inviolably guaranteed human dignity” secured by Article 1 of the German basic law in the first place by imposing such restrictions.
According to the court, the government lacked sufficient legal grounds to impose the restrictions since there was no “epidemic situation of national importance” at that time and the health system was at no risk of collapsing as the Robert Koch Institute reported that the Covid-19 reproduction number had fallen below 1. The judge also ruled that the regional government had no right to introduce such far-reaching measures at all since it was up to lawmakers to do so.
The lockdown imposed in Thuringia represented “the most comprehensive and far-reaching restrictions on fundamental rights in the history of the Federal Republic,” the court said while calling the measures an attack on the “foundations of our society” that was “disproportionate.”
The decision, however, only has an effect on this specific case, which saw the defendant acquitted and freed from the need to pay a fine of €200 ($243). When it comes to any broader considerations the ruling is not legally binding, although each German court can pass a judgment on the constitutionality of orders issued by any authority other than the Bundestag or a Landtag (a regional parliament).GRTWT.

Remember, the Left repeatedly lauded Cuomo for his handling of COVID.
It's almost like they celebrate COVID deaths.
Always need to stress: He ordered sick patients to be packed into the nursing homes, despite the nursing homes having no capacity to quarantine patients.
I was in the hospital this past year. I was on a wing with positive air pressure. The pressure was higher in my wing so that air from other wings could not make it into my wing. Air is always blowing out.
Does anyone think that nursing homes have positive air pressure wings to control the movement of airborne diseases?
No, of course they don't.
But Andrew Cuomo of NY, Murphy of NJ, Wolf of PA, and Whitmer of MI all ordered covid-infected patients to be seeded into the healthy populations of nursing homes, in order to kill them all.
Well the actual reason was to keep them out of the hospitals, but the repulsive choice was to murder tens of thousands of elderly people for what I'm sure they told themselves was "the greater good."
But this was all Trump's fault, Andrew Cuomo told us. He lied and said Trump's CDC ordered him to mix the sick with the healthy.
That's a lie. The CDC did not instruct him to take this murderous action. The CDC said that nursing homes could take covid patients, IF they had adequate safeguards and could perform a quarantine.
Which almost no nursing homes did.
The media pushed this lie because of course they did. They are in the business of lying on behalf of the murderous progressive socialist left. That is literally all they do now.
And now we find out that Andrew Cuomo murdered 50% more grandpas and grandmas that this killer has previously admitted.
I’m sure CNN will cover this diligently. https://t.co/GTZyV1emfq

WASHINGTON — President Biden’s climate czar, John Kerry, admitted Wednesday that the US reducing its emissions to zero wouldn’t make much of a difference in the global climate change fight — before pushing domestic manufacturing of electric cars and solar panels in favor of energy production.
Kerry’s remarks were made ahead of Biden’s signing of a host of executive actions on Wednesday pushing his $2 trillion Green New Deal-inspired climate agenda.
“He knows Paris alone is not enough,” Kerry told reporters at a White House press briefing, referring to Biden re-entering the US in the Paris Climate Agreement in one of his first acts as president.
“Not when almost 90 percent of all of the planet’s global emissions come from outside of US borders. We could go to zero tomorrow and the problem isn’t solved,” Kerry conceded.
The former secretary of state, now Biden’s climate envoy, acknowledged that it would be difficult to bring the world’s top polluters to the table, including China, which produces 30 percent of the world’s carbon emissions.
But then he pivoted from that point, shifting his focus back to domestic electric car and solar panel production, saying the nation could not afford to be tight-fisted, even as the US grapples with a devastating recession and health crisis.
“The science tells us we have to,” Kerry said when pressed by a reporter on the $2 trillion price tag on Biden’s plan.
“I saw a lot of Trump rallies starting to pop up across the nation, I saw the support that he was getting. But I didn’t see really any of the support that Biden was getting. I see no rallies for Biden,” he said.
“You don’t see Biden rallies with Biden 2020 signs flags popping up all over the US. You see a lot of Trump rallies and Trump 2020 rallies. So that does speak for itself,” he continued.
“That does speak for something – that people are willing to go out and advocate for something that they believe in.” In footage obtained by the Gateway Pundit earlier this month, Sullivan admits he purchased a Trump hat to embed himself among “Stop the Steal” protesters.
Sullivan was also seen in the video encouraging violent rioters inside and around the Capitol Building as he damaged federal property. The mayhem left at least five people dead, including Air Force veteran Ashi Babbit who Sullivan filmed getting shot and killed.
Shortly after the footage was published, Sullivan was arrested by the FBI. Prior to the Capitol siege, Sullivan gave a speech calling on a crowd of protesters to “fucking rip Trump” out of the White House.
“We out there ready to burn that shit down,” he proclaimed. “We got to fucking rip Trump out of that office right over there. We got to fucking pull him out that shit. We are about to get that motherfucker.”
Despite Sullivan’s intent to rip Trump out of office, he agrees with Trump supporters on at least one issue: the 2020 election was a sham.
“There is definitely something kind of fishy to say that Biden got all of these votes when Trump had all of these people out there protesting,” he argued.
“I believe that [Biden] won in the sense that that’s what came through the system, right? That came through the ballot machines. That’s what counted. Do I think that there could have been some kind, some sort of miscount or rigging? Yes, I do.”
Sullivan was released without bail on Jan. 15. A federal judge in Utah said prosecutors failed to meet the legal threshold to keep him in custody as he awaits further court proceedings.

The Department of Homeland Security said the 6 January attack on the US Capitol by Trump supporters may have emboldened some extremists.
In an advisory it warned of a threat from "individuals frustrated with the exercise of governmental authority".
But it added that there was no information on a specific plot.
The attack on the US Capitol building came as Congress was meeting to confirm Joe Biden's election victory.
Outgoing President Donald Trump had earlier addressed thousands of his supporters outside the White House and repeated unfounded claims that the election had been stolen from him.
He told them: "If you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country any more."
A crowd then made its way to the Capitol, overwhelming security and storming the building.
Five people, including a Capitol Police officer, died in the riot.
Biden DHS Issues Domestic Terror Alert Warning of ‘Objections’ to ‘Governmental Authority’
As President Joe Biden set a new record for executive orders in his first few days in office, and as former CIA Director John Brennan compared libertarians to ISIS-style “insurgencies,” the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a domestic terrorism bulletin warning about “ideologically-motivated violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental authority.”
It stands to reason that federal law-enforcement agencies may be on edge after the breach of the Capitol on January 6, but Biden’s inauguration went off without a hitch. Threats may indeed exist, but the DHS domestic terrorism bulletin is chilling, considering recent moves that suggest Democrats are planning a new domestic “War on Terror” targeting conservatives.
“The Acting Secretary of Homeland Security has issued a National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin due to a heightened threat environment across the United States, which DHS believes will persist in the weeks following the successful Presidential Inauguration,” reads the bulletin, issued at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time on Wednesday. “Information suggests that some ideologically-motivated violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental authority and the presidential transition, as well as other perceived grievances fueled by false narratives, could continue to mobilize to incite or commit violence.”
On Tuesday, Facebook suspended Robert A.J. Gagnon, a prominent Christian scholar on the topic of Bible sexuality, for 24 hours.
His crime?
Speaking out against transgender ideology and President Joe Biden’s new transgender military policy. Facebook claimed that Gagnon’s criticism of this government-imposed ideology violated the platform’s “Community Standards on violence and incitement.”
Ironically, Gagnon’s post drew attention to Facebook’s suspension of his friend, Laurie Higgins, who got a seven-day ban for criticizing Biden’s policy.
“There was absolutely no incitement to violence on our part. We abhor violence done to any person,” Gagnon told PJ Media on Tuesday. “This is just a thinly veiled and pathetic excuse for censorship of any critical views toward trans-tyranny over our consciences, religion, and reason.”
“Only one point of view is being allowed,” he added, ominously. “Trump was not the great danger to the Republic. Left-wing canceling is.”
Gagnon, who holds a Ph.D. in Pauline theology and sexuality from Princeton Theological Seminary, has published The Bible and Homosexual Practice: Texts and Hermeneutics. He teaches as a professor of New Testament Theology at Houston Baptist University.
In the post Facebook flagged, Gagnon had defended Higgins’ response to Biden’s pro-transgender military policy. Gagnon got suspended for this post:
My friend Laurie Higgins has been suspended for 7 days, for making an accurate and witty satirical post, by left-wing FB overlords who seek to squash all dissent on the issue of transgenderism, no doubt emboldened by the Biden/Harris administration.
There’s nothing inaccurate about this post.
1) Biden’s lifting of Trump’s transgender military ban will indeed put women military personnel in the awful position of having to shower with biological males.
2) Trans-promoters aren’t content with having men invade the domain of women’s sports and shelters.
3) “Transgender” ideology is indeed a pseudo-science, compelling people to reject basic biological facts.
4) Promoters of “transgenderism” do indeed exhibit traits of a religious cult in their mind-numbing, science-denying conformity.
The censoring and suspending of Laurie HIggins rather proves the point, doesn’t it?
A hypothetical "Patriot Party" led by former President Donald Trump would win the support of almost a quarter -- 23% -- of the electorate, bumping the GOP down to third place with just 17%, according to a new Just the News poll with Scott Rasmussen.
The startling survey result comes amid reports that Senate Republican support for convicting Trump in an impeachment trial is fast eroding.
A Trump third party could provoke a pivotal realignment in American politics. With the support of 46% of registered voters in the new poll, Democrats would reap the benefits of a fractured opposition and entrench themselves as the nation's dominant party -- even without majority support.
Among "very conservative" voters -- who make up a disproportionately large bloc within the Republican primary electorate -- a Trump Patriot Party crushes the GOP 55%-24%.AND THEN THERE'S THIS:
Here's the thing, Gamestop is inevitably going out of business. Its business model is the equivalent of Blockbuster right after Netflix and other streaming services started up.
Hedgefund managers were shorting Gamestop en masse.
So, a Reddit subgroup basically organized a Wall Street Flashmob to bid up Gamestop, as a form of economic warfare against Hedgefund managers, who were then caught in margin calls, and lost large chunks of their money.
This is a more sophisticated version of the Occupy Wall Street idea. Instead of a bunch of weed-addicted losers setting up Urban camping in Manhattan and Hollywood, some people took effective action against bottom feeder Hedge Fund managers (who control massive amounts of money) and they effectively fucked them the hell up.
Problem with this is, while it may have a seemingly elegant Robin Hood schadenfreude, it really is just a Flashmob version of exactly what the Hedge Fund managers were doing in the first place.
Excuse me for being old-fashioned, but the idea of investing is, putting money into businesses that you believe provide a viable and positive good or service. You invest to help them grow the delivery of that good and service, and to gain even more market share.
Shorting companies, and investing, as if the rising and falling of stock prices are waves to surf, is essentially parasitic behavior.
But hey, parasites do occupy an essential niche in evolution, don't they? Heck, bacteria are a form of very positive (in many cases) parasites who live in the body, performing functions the body can't do on its own.
So who am I to criticize parasitic behavior?
There is part of me that celebrates what this Reddit subgroup did today.
But there is also part of me that recognizes it is basically vandalism and rioting by other means.
And I also recognize that this likely will not be the first and only time this happens. This will probably be followed by ever more sophisticated investment flashmobs, creating more and more destruction.
I can see this technique being used by Communists to attempt to destroy Capitalism.
And I can see the government stepping in and eliminating private investing altogether.
We will go back to the shitty old days when one would have to go through a broker to buy and sell investments.
More regulation on top of regulation.
In fact, someone ought to check and see if the CIA was in on the organization of this Investment Flash Mob, with the goal of ending the ability of private citizens to participate in investing their own money for themselves.
Here's the story:
A lot of people are applauding, because we want someone to start hurting these people. -
Shares of GameStop and AMC Entertainment Holdings soared for a fourth day running on Wednesday, forcing hedge funds to retreat from heavy losses and sparking calls for scrutiny of a social media-driven trading frenzy.
Short-seller Citron, a target for some of the individual traders who have helped drive huge gains for a number of niche Wall Street stocks in the past week, said in a video post it had abandoned its bet on GameStop shares falling.
With commentators and lawyers calling for scrutiny of the moves, Nasdaq chief Adena Friedman said exchanges and regulators needed to pay attention to the potential for "pump and dump" schemes driven by chatter on social media.
Yes, there could be some of that going on -- get people stoked to teach Wall Street a lesson buy buying up a stock ("pumping" the stock's value), then dump it once the value is near its high, leaving most of the marks holding stock which is rapidly declining in value.
But... you know, Wall Street does this kind of shit every day. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) declined to comment.
GameStop's stock has surged nearly 700% in the past two weeks, upping the struggling video retailer's market value from $1.24 billion to more than $10 billion.
BlackBerry Ltd is up 185% and on course for its best month ever. Now, all of that value is illusory bubble value, but at least they made the hedge fund bleed.

Frankfurt knife attack: ‘Several injured’ after horror spree in German city centreSEVERAL people have been injured in Frankfurt, Germany, this morning after a knife attack. The incident is understood to have taken place near Frankfurt train station district at about 9am local time.
At least three people are believed to have been seriously injured in the attack. Police cordoneded off the site as a large number of emergency services attended the scene. According to initial findings, the suspect acted under the influence of drugs.
Those injured in the attack were rushed to hospital and are not believed to have life-threatening injuries.
The Portland-based journalist - a regular presence documenting violent Antifa activity in the Pacific Northwest (and having been assaulted for his coverage) - has fled to the United Kingdom.
"My hometown of Portland, Oregon is the epicenter of American Antifa," Ngo told Sky News Australia in a Saturday interview. Ngo noted tthat US politicians who rightly condemned the January 6 riots at the Capitol were "at best silent last year when my city was literally under siege."
"At worse they actually promoted some of the crowd funded campaigns," he added. Ngo described the increasingly violent death threats he's received, telling Sky
"For a number of months now, there's just been increasing threats of violence against me, promises by Antifa extremists to kill me." "It's pained me a lot, temporarily having to leave the country and home that settled my parents who came there as political refugees," he added.
Ngo, editor-at-large of The Post Millennial, was beaten and robbed by Antifa terrorists in July, 2019, after which his assailants - apparently not the "Unity" brand of Democrats - soaked him in liquids which police believed to be quick-drying cement. He was hospitalized following the incident.
On June 30, hours before the policy took effect, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis postponed the opening of military enlistments to transgender people for an additional six months.
The delay does not prevent currently serving soldiers from transitioning, however. It is intended to give the joint chiefs more time to review and mitigate the Obama-era rule’s impact on the “readiness and lethality of our [armed] forces.”
Late into President Obama’s last term, his military officials allowed transgender soldiers to serve openly, even funding gender-change surgeries with taxpayer dollars. Former Defense Secretary Ash Carter set a July 1 deadline for all four military branches to write policies for accepting openly transgender enlistments. Formerly, soldiers exhibiting gender dysphoria were automatically discharged.
While the Pentagon’s review takes place behind closed doors and the inevitable culture-war volleys spill into the public square, it is critical to understand the real-life implications of the policy shift. I recently received a copy of the new “Tier Three Transgender Training” materials—a PowerPoint and accompanying lesson plan excerpted below, with full documents at these links—that the Army is now using in mandatory training for all soldiers. The active-duty officer who sent the materials completed the training with 40 other soldiers last week instead of conducting their morning physical training as usual.
For example, “Vignette Four” of the training module presents the following scenario: “following her transition from male to female (which did not include sex reassignment surgery) and gender marker change in DEERS [DEERS is the military’s personnel database], a transgender Soldier begins using female barracks, bathroom and shower facilities. Because she did not undergo a surgical change, the Soldier still has male genitalia.” How should troops respond? “Soldiers must accept living and working conditions that are often austere, primitive, and characterized by little or no privacy.”
The slide tells soldiers to “understand that you may encounter individuals in barracks, bathrooms, or shower facilities with physical characteristics of the opposite sex despite having the same gender marker in DEERS.”
The next bullet point adds, “all Soldiers should be respectful of the privacy and modesty concerns of others. However, transgender Soldiers are not required or expected to modify or adjust their behavior based on the fact that they do not ‘match’ other Soldiers.”
This is a first. The military is normally in the business of telling soldiers to “modify or adjust their behavior” all the time.

Tulsi Gabbard slams Schiff, Brennan, Big Tech as more ‘dangerous’ than Capitol rioters Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, asserted that tech industry leaders and Democrats such as Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and former CIA director John Brennan are “domestic enemies” of the U.S. who are more dangerous than the rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6.
In a video and thread posted to Twitter Tuesday morning, the former Democratic presidential candidate denounced the violent protesters, but warned that efforts to combat insurgency through surveillance and other monitoring activities posed a greater threat to the country.
“The mob who stormed the Capitol on January 6 to try to stop Congress from carrying out its constitutional responsibilities were behaving like domestic enemies of our country,” Gabbard said.
“But let’s be clear, the John Brennans, Adam Schiffs and the oligarchs in Big Tech who are trying to undermine our constitutionally protected rights and turn our country into a police state with KGB-style surveillance are also domestic enemies — and much more powerful, and therefore dangerous, than the mob that stormed the Capitol.”
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., who will preside over Trump's impeachment trial, was taken to the hospital on Tuesday, a spokesman said.

Out of an abundance of caution, the Attending Physician recommended that he be taken to a local hospital for observation, where he is now, and where he is being evaluated," David Carle, a spokesman Leahy said.
Leahy, who is third in the line of succession as the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, was just sworn-in to preside over the impeachment trial.

"Why Is Georgetown Providing a Platform for This Dangerous Group?" an op-ed in the Washington Post had asked.
The group was the Palestine Solidarity Movement, a BDS anti-Israel hate group whose conferences had a history of antisemitism, supporting Hamas and the murder of Jews.
Maher Bitar, one of the executive board members of Students for Justice in Palestine, was one of the principal organizers of the 2006 conference which was being hosted by Georgetown University's SJP hate group. A photo appears to show him dancing in a keffiyah in front of a banner reading, “Divest from Israel Apartheid”.
Despite protests from Jewish groups, the Georgetown BDS conference went ahead
Now, Biden has picked Maher Bitar as the Senior Director for Intelligence on the NSC.
In 2006, the American Jewish Committee was pleading with Georgetown to distance itself from the anti-Israel hate of PSM and SJP. Now the anti-Israel hate occupies the top of the foreign policy establishment and is set to define the foreign policy of the Biden administration.
In his new position, the former anti-Israel activist will coordinate intelligence between the White House and the intelligence community, receiving material from intelligence agencies, informing the intelligence community of White House policy, and deciding who gets access to secret information. The office also contains some of the most classified information around.
The job of Senior Director for Intelligence at the National Security Council is supposed to go to an intelligence professional. How did an anti-Israel activist go from helping host a conference for an organization whose speakers have supported Islamic terrorism to a top intelligence job?
At the PSM conference in Georgetown, Bitar had run a sessiondescribing how to best demonize Israel. Next year, he facilitated a Palestinian Student Society summit addressed by Joseph Massad who had called Israel a "Jewish supremacist state" and praised terrorism.
Massad had also argued that the idea that "any manifestation of hatred against Jews in any geographic location on Earth and in any historical period is 'anti-Semitism' smacks of a gross misunderstanding of the European history of anti-Semitism."
A few years later, Bitar could be found presenting at a Sabeel conference featuring some of the worst bigots like Rebecca Vilkomerson of JVP ,who had invited a terrorist to address the BDS hate group, and Richard Falk, who had endorsed a book which wondered whether “Hitler might have been right after all”.
Maher Bitar went to work for UNRWA, interned at the misnamed and militantly anti-Israel
Foundation for Middle East Peace, and and studied at Oxford's Refugee Studies Centre, writing papers on the so-called 'Nakba' and on 'Palestinian' activism. He appeared to describe Israel’s security barrier as a “segregation wall”
Israel's "political existence as a state is the cause for Palestinian dispossession and statelessness," Bitar wrote in one paper. “Israel’s rejection of their right to return remains the main obstacle to finding a durable solution.”
The so-called ‘right to return’ would mean the destruction of Israel.
He helped assemble a BADIL publication: a BDS hate group which seeks to eliminate Israel through the ‘right of return’ and which has opposed bans on working with terrorists.
The issue in question denounced “Jewish colonization”
And yet before long, Bitar could be found working for the Office of the Special Envoy for Middle East Peace. From there he went on to serve as the NSC’s Director for Israeli and Palestinian Affairs and as Samantha Power’s Deputy at the UN. In under a decade, Bitar had gone from anti-Israel activism through the private network of BDS organizations to key positions shaping American intelligence and foreign policy at the National Security Council and the UN.
Even while Bitar was engaged in anti-Israel activism, he was also volunteering for the Obama campaign, and working for the UN. He started working for the State Department’s Office of the Special Envoy for Middle East Peace as an extern while studying for his JD at Georgetown.
In 2016, Bitar came back to Georgetown to tell students that "those of you who might feel conflicted about or even disagree with American policy and want to change it" could do it.
When President Trump was elected, Bitar became the general counsel to House Intelligence Committee Democrats, serving as the top legal adviser to Rep. Adam Schiff and playing a key role in the first Democrat attempt to impeach President Trump. Now he’s back at the NSC.
Bitar’s rise through the ranks speaks to the abandonment of Israel by the Democrats and the ineptitude of pro-Israel advocates at fighting the personnel battles that define the government.
During the Obama administration, organizations that claimed to be advocating for Israel would come out to D.C. and take pride in receiving a personal briefing from Bitar about Israel’s security without having a clue about who Bitar was or how hard he must have been laughing at them.
Policy battles aren’t won at the executive level, but at the personnel level. The Left keeps winning policy battles even when moderates and conservatives win elections because it understands that having its people in a position to make policy matters more than elections.
Obama had put the author of "Ethnic Cleansing and the Falling Apart of Palestinian Society" in charge of the NSC desk on Israel. Biden put him in charge of NSC intelligence.
Israel will accordingly return to its old Obama understanding that it can no longer share the truly sensitive intelligence with its American counterparts because the NSC is once again tainted.
But the tainting of the NSC has larger implications that go far beyond Israel.
The Obama administration initially began spying on members of Congress who were speaking to Prime Minister Netanyahu after monitoring any effort to take out Iran’s nuclear program.
Pro-Israel legislators should once again expect to be spied on by the Biden administration.
The NSC was a key gateway for Obama’s surveillance of opposition politicians. Putting the right people in place at the NSC will be crucial to protecting the next wave of illegal surveillance.
And any effort by Israel to take out Iran’s nuclear program with its new Arab allies will be closely monitored and sabotaged by the Obama veterans who are back in charge of the NSC.
At the 2006 Georgetown anti-Israel conference, Bitar was advising attendees on how to infiltrate and blend in. Now that he has reached a career pinnacle at the NSC, he had the honor of being profiled by Politico as a “Palestinian”. But earlier versions of Bitar's story had him being "of Palestinian and Egyptian descent" and claiming "family roots [that] trace back to Palestine".
Bitar claimed that his family were “refugees”.
At the PSS summit, he described the group as those "who actively identify as Palestinian because of a shared national, historical, and cultural experience".
The dirty little secret of the ‘Palestinian’ myth is that its identity is imaginary.
The radicalism of the Democrats and their abandonment of the Jewish State however are all too real. That’s how Maher Bitar went from anti-Israel activism, from calling for the destruction of Israel, to the Israel desk at the NSC, and then the top policy intelligence position at the NSC.
"Why Is Georgetown Providing a Platform for This Dangerous Group?” a Washington Post op-ed had asked in 2006. The question now is why are Joe Biden and the Democrats?
And what do pro-Israel groups intend to do about it?
This is an important book for several reasons. There is the obvious one. About how people are being conned that in some way, the great accomplishments of the Spanish people are somehow a result of their having been ersatz slaves under Muslim rule for many centuries. But also because this book shows us exactly how muslim money and leftists perverted scholarship over the last many decades. it gives names places and times for how this happened so we can know exactly what books incepted this nonsense and why.
It appears that much of this rioting is being done by immigrants, ostensibly against the Lockdowns.
As George W. used to say, "The desire for freedom and justice was written into our hearts by Almighty God."
And chaos and evil are written into our hearts by the Father of Lies.

Momenteel gaat het net als in de nieuwjaarsnacht mis aan de Graafseweg in Den Bosch. Een auto lijkt in brand te vliegen. Bij @bosschenaortje meerdere video’s van de afgelopen minuten. https://t.co/7nZbBeDY6L
