How many times has this happened? Republican’s like Pat Toomey and Ben Sasse say all the right things. Judge nominees like John Roberts, Amy Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, and Doug Souter promise to obey the Constitution and the moment they get into office they cannot even obey the plain text of it?

The time of political reckoning is at hand. It finally seems like the American people have figured this out. The merging of the US Government, mega corporations and the CCP have created a corrupt monster that must be defeated and exiled forever. They have not even taken power officially yet and they are already over reaching.

Look at this absolute nonsense that could not withstand even minutes of cross examination>>

Yours truly blogged for Pat Toomey and helped him get elected. We even follow each other on Twitter:

Radio personalities like Jim Quinn and Rose Tennant leveraged their massive audience to make it possible for him to get elected and after he got in the betrayals began and have been tolerated. No more.

As much as it pains me, if certain Republicans are a part of the swamp we must make sure that if they do not lose in the primary, they lose in the general. No more Mr. Nice Voter!

Do not vote a GOP straight ticket, study each candidate and if someone is a swamp creature like Mitch McConnell or Pat Toomey or Ben Sasse they must go…as painful as it may be.

Editor’s Note: Think about it. Inspector General reports, court docs, and declassified documents prove that the Trump Russia Conspiracy hoax was literally a state run disinformation campaign ran by the FBI, CIA, DoJ, Hillary Clinton and Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee. So when we said that QAnon is a similar deep state disinformation campaign you might want to consider it.

The claims are based on a few “super sources”.

The claims are uniform across many groups and individuals and almost always invariably end up being wrong.

They told citizens that it’s OK and to “Trust the plan” (aka do nothing – getting citizens motivated into inaction is nothing short of a propaganda coup).

There are truths the corrupt fear. They add lies to such truths so when the lies are debunked, those spreading the misinformation along with the truth they want covered up are both completely discredited.

These “super sources” only leak to people who are not likely to sniff out the misinformation before it’s too late. This has the earmarks of a deep state disinformation campaign. Our CIA and State Department uses the same tactics against other countries.

For example, there is demonstrable statistical and eye witness evidence of fraud in at least six key states. Election laws about signature verification and having observers of both parties actually observing were broken and are absolutely winnable in a court of law (if a court would have the guts to hear them). But combine that truth with a near impossible to prove conspiracies – when the fantastic conspiracy theory gets shot down it brings down the credibility of genuine truth being uttered with it.

Very smart and educated people have been victims of state disinformation campaigns and we mean that sincerely. Being educated does not mean one is educated in propaganda techniques. Studies have shown that the higher educated one is the more likely they are to fall for certain propaganda techniques.

A good misinformation campaign includes just enough falsehood to undermine the truth. When even Alex Jones is calling out Q-Anon as coordinated misinformation, you have to stop and think.

As long time readers of PoliticalArena are aware, the propaganda techniques, mass media and attitude change theory used by Germany, Russia, China, and our own government against foreign adversaries are a research specialty of ours. The type, pattern, goals and consistency of disinformation coming from Q-Anon (and from Sydney Powell) are textbook examples of such propaganda.

Stop spreading Q-Anon disinformation. Q-Anon followers believe they are helping America and President Trump, but in reality those who spread it are enabling his enemies.

UPDATE  – The Communist Bolsheviks used a similar psy-op against those who favored the Russian Romanov monarchy. They spread rumors that the military was going to take over and restore the monarchy and put the offending Bolsheviks on trial. In short they told them to trust the plan and motivated millions of their enemies to do nothing.

They even called it “Operation Trust.” Sound familiar?

Via Chris Menahan:

“Operation Trust” was a Bolshevik counterintelligence operation run from 1921 to 1926 aimed at neutralizing opposition by creating the false impression that a powerful group of military leaders had organized to stop the communists’ takeover.

Here’s an except on the “Trust” operation from pages 13-14 of Soviet defector Anatoliy Golitsyn’s book, “New Lies for Old”:

When the Kavanaugh protestors breached the Capital and the Senate building the media praised them. Occupy lefty types have “breached” the Capital and government buildings since the 1960’s. Remember sit ins? Bernie Sanders bragged in his book how he occupied government buildings in mass protests, if one were to believe the rhetoric on Twitter and from the Democrats it seems Bernie should be facing domestic terrorism charges.

There is a breathtaking double standard here.

It is important to keep in mind that Capital Police opened the gates and opened the front doors. Nobody tried to burn the place, there was no graffiti and the property damage was minimal.

Out of almost what, half a million protestors, a few dozen entered the capital? After the police opened the gates most stood on the steps and sang the national anthem. I saw one photo of a little old lady in the Capital who just followed the crowd who was in there waving her little flag – a seditious insurrection?

I am not “justifying” anything, what I am saying is that a little perspective is helpful.

Getting passed the silly rhetoric – what exactly are we talking about here? Trespassing? In some cases disorderly conduct? …In other words the same thing “Occupy” type protestors like Bernie Sanders have done since the 1960’s. Protests are supposed to make government uncomfortable as that is the idea.

Trespassing is now terrorism? Insurrection? There is a ton of case law that defines these things so legally that is a non-starter. The rhetoric used by the left on Twitter is simply designed to divide and create hate. Accusations of terrorism and sedition are just bad propaganda. The Supreme Court’s Brandenburg test makes it nearly impossible to legally apply sedition to a speech.

Don’t be fooled. Big Tech isn’t shutting down accounts due to “risk”. They’re trying to control what you read, think and believe. They want control and fear as that means power. Don’t let them win.
