Russiagate in a nutshell
@drawandstrike is Brian Cates. Brian Cates is a writer for The Epoch Times.
RussiaGate Was 100% Fake SpyGate Is 100% Real
@drawandstrike
Because Democrats and DNC Media won't tell you the truth about it, here's what actually happened the last 4 years.
1) The SpyGate plotters started spying on Donald Trump and his team back in 2015. They claim they started in late July 2016 is 100% a lie.
2) To launch their counterintelligence investigations of FOUR SPECIFIC INDIVIDUALS close to Trump, the FBI fakes its probable cause to the FISA Court, alleging it has good, solid verified evidence that Carter Page, Gen Flynn, Papa D and Manafort are Russian agents.
3) To get a FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign, then after Trump won the election, his transition team, and then after Trump entered the White House, his Presidency itself, the FBI used a fake Trump/Russia dossier that came from a Clinton political operative, Steele.
4) The FBI then renews the Page warrant 3 times, so they were doing 'legal' electronic spying on Trump & his close associates for 11 months, from Oct '16 to Sept '17.
All during this time, the FBI keeps STUMBLING OVER EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE it hides from the FISA Court.
5) Kevin Clinesmith, the FBI lawyer in charge of handling the FISA warrant renewals, gets caught by DOJ IG investigators having tampered with a CIA email.
The FBI had asked the CIA if Page's claims of being a CIA contact in communication with then was true.
CIA said YES.
9) The source tells the FBI Steele was LYING to them, that the source never told Steele this, at best SOME of what Steele used was gross exaggerations & source was horrified to see Steele turning this into 'covert intelligence' from a highly placed source in the Russian gov't.
10) But again, this is NOT what the SpyGate plotters want to hear, so they hide from the FISA Court the source disavowing the allegations from Steele that were used in the Page warrant.
So they're hiding what the CIA said about Page, & their hiding what Steele's source said.
11) In May 2017, Comey gets fired, leaks one of his memos to the NYT's, gets called in to testify to Congress, and DEMANDS the appointment of a Special Counsel to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election - with a special focus on the Trump campaign's ties to Russia.
12) Robert Mueller is tapped to be the Special Counsel, assembles his team and begins his investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election with special scrutiny devoted to trying to find evidence of any collusion between the Trump campaign & the gov't of Russia.
13) So before the last two renewals of the Carter Page FISA warrant ran out in September of 2017, you had BOTH the Crossfire Hurricane team AND the Mueller Special Counsel on a quest for their Holy Grail: any evidence whatsoever of Trump crimes & Russian collusion.
4 months.
14) Then in late September 2017, the last FISA renewal runs out and the Mueller Special Counsel is left on the hunt for this Holy Grail.
Despite 11 months of intensive, super wide surveillance of Trump & his associates, the Crossfire Hurricane team has NOTHING to hand off.
15) 11 months of furious spying on the entire Trump campaign, then the transition team, then the Trump Presidency yielded no evidence of any Trump/Russia election collusion or any other Trump crime at all.
The Crossfire Hurricane team has nothing to show for 11 months work.
16) Now all hopes turn to the Mueller Special Counsel, which Rod Rosenstein gifted with a new super-duper wide scope for it's intensive and exhaustive investigation shortly after the Crossfire Hurricane team ended in abject failure.
17) And Mueller & his pack of crack bloodhounds search far and wide, high and low, behind every rock, bush and tree for 2 1/2 years and find NOTHING. They even end up using that super duper wide scope to go digging through the long-deceased Fred Trump's estate taxes.
Nothing.
18) All during this 2 1/2 year period that Mueller and his team of 13 angry Democrats are doing all this furious and futile searching, the Fake News Media is being fed a TON of fake leaks, all regaling the public with ribald tales of all the evidence Mueller is finding!
19) Trump is reportedly in a depression inside the White House, stumbling around in a stupor in his bathrobe, chugging down Diet Coke and morosely watching The Gorilla Channel in an attempt to cheer himself up as the walls start closing in on him.
20) One bug eyed crazy member of Congress, a Democrat, naturally, gets himself plenty of TV-face time by making all kinds of extravagant claims about all the good solid, 'more than circumstantial evidence' he's supposedly seen proving Trump/Russia Election Collusion.
21) This crazy bug-eyed Democrat making all these claims about the Trump/Russia Collusion evidence he's send is also in a locked battle with Republican Rep. Devin Nunes.
Both men produce dueling memos in Feb. 2018 about claims of FBI abuse of the FISA system.
22) Nunes memo is released first, detailing serious abuses and problems with the Carter Page FISA warrant, alleging the FBI was hiding key information from the Court.
Schiff's response memo was a complete repudiation of the Nunes memo, claiming Nunes was completely wrong.
23) Mueller Special Counsel drags on into 2019 even after AG Jeff Sessions resigns in late 2018, and is temp replaced by Matthew Whitaker.
In February 2019, Whitaker suddenly announces Mueller is wrapping up his Special Counsel investigation.
Many people REFUSE to believe him.
24) Yet it turns out Whitaker was telling the truth. Mueller is ending his investigation, and the only unfinished business ends up being yet another useless process perjury charge against...Roger Stone.
Democrats & the Fake News Media scramble to adjust to the new reality.
25) After more than TWO YEARS of selling fake news about Mueller having real Trump/Russia Election Collusion evidence, a whole lot of charlatans and fakers get exposed when Mueller releases his final report.
26) The **best** Mueller could come up with was a single obstruction charge based on a truly exotic and gymnastic pretzel-like reading of an obstruction of justice statute.
With a charge so weak he was unwilling to make it himself, Mueller **punts it** upstairs to AG Barr.
27) Mueller and DAG Rod Rosenstein look at Mueller's final offering, have a good laugh, shitcan it, and go out for beer and pizza.
And that's that.
Mueller's 2 1/2 year long exhaustive investigation by 13 Angry Democrats killed the Trump/Russia Collusion Hoax stone cold dead.
28)So:
All that pre-July 2016 spying they found: no Trump crimes
All that post-July 2016 spying to the point they got the Page FISA warrant they found: no Trump crimes
All that FISA spying they did from Oct '16 to Sept '17 they found: no Trump crimes.
See a pattern here?
29) And now?
All that Mueller Special Counsel investigating from June 2017 all the way to February of 2019 they found: no Trump crimes.
Amazing, isn't it?
Fully ponder it for a minute.
30) From the moment he announced his presidential run in 2015, to the moment he actually won the 2016 election, Trump was THE most thoroughly vetted President in US History.
You know they tried. They really, really did.
Change my mind!
30) They looked intensively and exhaustively for ANYTHING THEY COULD FIND while he was running for President.
They looked intensively and exhaustively for ANYTHING THEY COULD USE AGAINST HIM after he won the election during the transition period.
31) They looked intensively and exhaustively for ANYTHING THEY COULD USE AGAINST HIM after he was inaugurated and entered the White House.
And by summer of 2019 it was starting to dawn on these idiots: we're never going to find ANYTHING REAL so we'll have to FAKE IT.
32) IF all that spying and intercepting and transcribing and circulating and investigating of Trump & his close associates for more than FOUR YEARS AT THIS POINT had produced ANYTHING REAL they could use against him, you'd have SEEN it by now.
33) That's why by late Spring/early Summer of this year, the Democrats & DNC Media realized if they are EVER going to get Trump impeached & successfully damage his reelection efforts, they were going to have to INVENT crimes to impeach him with.
34) They certainly knew they were going to have to fake it once they realized what DOJ IG Horowitz was going to reveal with that final report:
A **complete** vindication of Devin Nunes and a total exposure of Adam Schiff.
35) They spent 3 years hanging their hopes on the Trump/Putin Collusion Traitor Hoax, and years of fake leaks coaxed them along in this fantasy.
Not until Spring of this year were Democrats & Fake News Media's final hopes about this finally staked through the heart.
36) Put yourselves in the Democratic leadership and the DNC Media Complex's shoes back in April/May of this year.
You've come to the realization that after more than 3 years of relentlessly looking, you can't find any real crimes and the Trump/Putin Hoax just got exposed.
37) Concurrent with this awful realization, the WRONG GUY wins the election in Ukraine and you discover Trump & Rudy Giuliani are working with this wrong guy to look into massive corruption in that country involving billions in US taxpayers dollars that just up and disappeared.
38) So if you're the Democratic Party leadership and the head people running the DNC Media Complex, here's what your FORCED into doing beginning in April of 2019:
you're forced to INVENT a crime involving a phone call using a fake whistle blower who's really a criminal leaker.
39) This is how we got where we are at today. Because they couldn't find any real crimes to use against Trump, they were forced to quickly throw together this transparently stupid fake crime surrounding Trump's phone call with Zelensky.
40) Biden got caught on video openly boasting about forcing the former Ukrainian gov't into a quid quo pro by threatening to withhold a $1 billion loan guarantee that had already been agreed to.
41) Democrats ***can't have ANYBODY*** investigating what Biden & others were doing in Ukraine from 2012 to 2019. So they need to turn President Trump trying to ENFORCE THE LAW AND TREATIES to discover where all our taxpayer-funded foreign really went into a CRIME.

Impeachment farce explained in two minutes
Ann Coulter - October 2, 2019 - YOU ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS FOR A PRESIDENT
This column will explain the impeachment farce in two minutes. By the end, you will thank the media for demanding the release of Trump’s phone calls with the presidents of Ukraine and Australia.
What the phone transcripts demonstrate is that -- unlike the typical Republican -- Trump is not a let-bygones-be-bygones sort. He intends to find out who turned the FBI into a Hillary super PAC, using the powers of the nation’s “premiere law enforcement agency” (according to them) to take out a presidential candidate, and then a president.
The whole picture becomes clear when you have the timeline.
Instead of the FBI just admitting that it launched the Russia probe to help elect Hillary, the agency has given us a scrolling series of excuses for this partisan attack.
The FBI’s first claim was that it was merely investigating the hack of the Democratic National Committee’s email servers. As part of that effort, it was, naturally, obligated to spy on the Trump campaign.
Then we found out that the John le Carre theory of Hillary’s defeat was based exclusively on the word of a single cybersecurity firm. Yes, the FBI was SO frantic about the DNC’s servers ... that it didn’t bother examining them itself. I repeat: The FBI never touched the DNC's servers.
And who did? CrowdStrike. Who was CrowdStrike? A Ukrainian-backed cybersecurity firm.
That’s why Trump asked the Ukrainian president about CrowdStrike –- the company behind the first of the FBI’s many excuses for spying on Trump.
On Jan. 10, 2017 -- before Trump was even inaugurated -- FBI Director James Comey breathed new life into the Russian collusion story by leaking news about the infamous Russian “dossier.”
Hurray! The media were ecstatic. For the next 10 months, we got breathless reports about how this very important, totally credible, deeply concerning dossier might force Trump out of the White House!
E.g.:
-- “I remember pretty distinctly that you supported President Trump’s criticism of this dossier ... Do you want to dial back that criticism now?” -- CNN’s Kate Bolduan to former Rep. Pete Hoekstra, April 19, 2017
-- “If the dossier is now about to be publicly defended and explained and backed up, I mean, that’s conceivably the whole ball game.” -- MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Aug. 23, 2017
After carrying on about the dossier for nearly all of 2017, on Oct. 24 of that year, we finally found out who had paid for it: the Hillary Clinton campaign. (And you wonder why they don’t want to give us the whistleblower’s name.)
This rather important datum was coughed up not by the media, but only in response to a court order. Good work, “watchdog media”! Nothing gets past you guys.
Suddenly the dossier wasn’t important at all. Where did Republicans get that idea?
At this point, the FBI had to scramble to come up with an all-new explanation for why the bureau had put more than 100 agents -- according to NBC News’ Ken Dilanian –- on an investigation of a presidential candidate. (Luckily, the bureau had lots of time, having already vanquished international terrorism.)
Within a matter of days, on Oct. 30, the media was bristling with the news that the real reason the FBI put G-Men on the Trump campaign was: George Papadopoulos.
(Don’t stop reading! The sun is about come out and all will be clear.)
Up until Oct. 24, the media had barely mentioned the young campaign aide. But starting on Oct. 30, Papadopoulos became the lynchpin of the whole Trump-Russia conspiracy.
It was a heavy lift. Papadopoulos had only met Trump once and, as The New York Times admitted, was “so green that he listed Model United Nations in his qualifications.”
A few months later, in December 2017, the Russian collusion fairy tale took a hit when texts from Peter Strzok and Lisa Page showed FBI operatives at the heart of the so-called “investigation” vowing to use federal law enforcement resources to “stop” Trump.
The FBI began frantically pumping up the Papadopoulos angle, telling the Times that it was their gob-smacking discovery in the summer of 2016 that Papadopoulos may have had “inside information” about Russia “hacking” the DNC’s email that was a “driving factor” in the bureau’s opening of the Russia-Trump investigation.
So THAT’S why the nation’s No. 1 law enforcement agency had 100 agents investigating the Trump campaign! It sure took them a long time to come up with a reason.
Pending results from Trump’s phone call with the Australian president, Papadopoulos remains the FBI’s current excuse for an “investigation” that wasted four years, millions of dollars and, in the end, turned up nada.
The story was, in the summer of 2016, Australian high commissioner to the United Kingdom Alexander Downer contacted the FBI claiming that Papadopoulos had admitted to him during a night of drinking that he knew the Russians had Hillary’s emails. Two months later, Wikileaks began posting the DNC's emails!
HOW ELSE CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT, UNLESS TRUMP WAS COLLUDING WITH RUSSIA?
I can explain it.
When Papadopoulos was blabbing to the Australian about the Russians having Hillary’s emails, everyone was talking about the Russians having Hillary’s emails -- CNN, The Guardian, even ABC’s “The View.” (See Resistance Is Futile!: How the Trump-Hating Left Lost Its Collective Mind.) Papadopoulos’ “source” probably read it in The New York Times.
Perhaps Downer is always completely oblivious to international news. Perhaps he spends too much time drinking with 28-year-olds.
Trump’s phone call with the president of Australia, released this week, suggests that we just might get to the bottom of the big Alexander Downer tipoff -- the FBI’s latest cover story.
Now you know why all of official Washington, D.C., is screaming: IMPEACH! They don’t want you to find out that America’s “premiere law enforcement agency” tried to throw a presidential election and destroy a presidency.

The Secrets of Ilhan Omar
Ilhan Omar gets away with all this because democrats, and deep state, are above the law. Same as Hillary, Comey, Clapper, Brenner, McCabe, Jussie Smollett, etc.
Conservatives get crucified over nothing, leftists routinely get away with murder.
Welcome to the new double standard of justice in the USA.

Why Democrats Hear a Secret Racist Dog Whistle and Republicans Don’t
Posted June 10, 2018
One of the biggest misconceptions about Trump supporters is that they see President Trump the same way his critics see him, and yet they like him anyway. The implication of that belief is that all Trump supporters are racists because they damn-well-know they support a leader who is one. Hardly a day goes by without some stranger on Twitter telling me in ominous tones that I will someday pay dearly for being a racist “apologist.” They assume I see President Trump the same way they see him.
In my book Win Bigly, I describe how the public is watching two movies on one screen. In Movie 1, Trump is a monster with many flaws, racism being at the top of the list. In Movie 2, President Trump ran on a platform of being a Republican who disdains political correctness, and the predictable outcome of that is non-stop accusations of racism. As a public service, I compiled some of the plot differences in the two movies, roughly in the order they happened, so you can compare the two scripts. I won’t try to convince you to switch movies. I’m only making the point that Trump supporters literally don’t see what anti-Trumpers regard as obvious.
Housing Discrimination Scene
Movie 1: In 1973, five years after the Fair Housing Act, Trump’s business settled a claim that it had discriminated against African-American applicants, thus proving he is a racist.
Movie 2: Employees of Trump’s company, whose incomes depended on their job performance, discriminated against African-American applicants in the belief that other potential tenants would be racists and less likely to want to live in a diverse building. Housing discrimination of that type is illegal. The Trump organization settled the suit out of court and took steps to make sure it wouldn’t happen again. There are no facts in evidence of Trump’s inner thoughts from 45 years ago. We only know what the staff did.
Central Park Five Scene
Movie 1: In 1989, Trump paid for a full-page ad in the New York Times calling for the death penalty for five African American men falsely accused of rape, thus proving he is a racist. He has never apologized, thus confirming he is a racist.
Movie 2: in 1989, Trump paid for a full-page ad in the New York times saying it was time to get tough on crime, including perhaps using the death penalty. The ad made one indirect reference to the Central Park incident as an example, at a time the police and prosecutors believed the accused were guilty. The ethnicities of the accused was neither mentioned nor implied in Trump’s ad. The topic was crime. When the accused were later cleared of all legal charges, Trump did not apologize, which is normal for him. He doesn’t apologize for anything.
Birtherism Scene
Movie 1: Prior to running for President, private citizen Trump promoted the conspiracy theory that President Obama might have been born in Africa, thus proving Trump is a racist.
Movie 2: Questioning a rival’s eligibility for office, for any reason, is normal politics. We observe Trump using every available form of persuasion against any critic who gets in his way. For example, during the 2016 Republican primaries he also questioned whether Ted Cruz was a Canadian citizen (he isn’t), and wondered aloud if Cruz’ father might have been involved in the assassination of President Kennedy (he wasn’t). In order to believe Trump was acting racist in questioning President Obama’s birth certificate, one must also believe he would not use the same tactic against a white candidate if the opportunity presented itself. In Movie 2, that seems deeply unlikely.
“They’re rapists” Scene
Movie 1: During the speech in which Trump announced his candidacy, he referred to illegal immigrants from Mexico as “rapists,” thus proving he is a racist.
Movie 2: President Trump noted that one of the big problems with illegal immigration from Mexico is that there are criminals in the group, and this country doesn’t need any more crime. This message was consistent with his tough-on-crime stance. The call-out of rape in particular might have been inspired by stories such as this one from Huffington Post, one of the President’s most vocal critics.
Failure to disavow KKK Scene
Movie 1: In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, candidate Trump hesitated to disavow David Duke and the KKK, thus proving he is a racist.
Movie 2: President Trump disavowed David Duke, the KKK, and White Supremacists multiple times, both before and after the Jake Tapper interview. Trump said he couldn’t hear Jake’s question because of a faulty earpiece. Trump seemed confused and/or hesitant about the question.
During the Tapper interview scene, Trump asked for a list of who he was being asked to disavow, clearly signaling that he sensed a trap coming. Would Trump next be asked to disavow non-racist groups that supported his tough-on-immigration stance? The media had already branded those supporters as racist too. In trying to avoid that obvious trap, Trump fumbled the question and made things worse. But racism was never the problem.
Hiring Steve Bannon Scene
Movie 1: Steve Bannon is a known white supremacist, so having him on the campaign staff and later briefly as an advisor in the White House proves Trump is a racist.
Movie 2: Steve Bannon is tough on illegal immigration, and tough on immigration from Muslim-majority countries with poor government records. His critics have framed him as being a racist because of it. People who know him personally say he isn’t.
The Racists Support Trump Scene
Movie 1: Racist groups support Trump because they hear his secret racist dog whistle, thus proving he is a racist.
Movie 2: Racists approve of Trump’s tough immigration policies in part, one assumes, because they think it will allow fewer non-whites into the country. Non-racist Trump supporters support Trump’s immigration policies because they place a high priority on law and order. Different groups can like the same thing for different reasons. For example, target shooters like guns, and murderers like guns, but that doesn’t make target shooters murderers.
Trump’s Awkward Language About “the blacks” scene
Movie 1: Trump once referred to African-Americans as “the blacks,” thus proving he is racist.
Movie 2: Trump says almost everything differently than the average person, and he doesn’t obsess over political correctness.
Judge Curiel Scene
Movie 1: President Trump said a “Mexican” judge couldn’t be fair, thus proving he is racist.
Movie 2: President Trump spoke about the judge in the common vernacular, the the same way Americans typically talk about their own ethnic backgrounds. Ask a neighbor whose grandparents immigrated to the United States from Italy to describe his family and he’s likely to say, “We’re Italian.”
Trump mentioned Judge Curiel’s Mexican heritage to point out that it could be a source of bias in the Trump University case because the media had successfully framed Trump as being racist against U.S. residents with Mexican roots. In the context of a legal case, it can be good strategy to question a judge’s impartiality. The intended effect of it is to influence the judge to bend over backwards to avoid the appearance of bias. In this situation, Judge Curiel had to rule on when to schedule the trial, and he chose the option that had the best appearance of fairness, scheduling it after the election, as Trump preferred. Trump’s legal strategy probably worked.
Charlottesville Scene
Movie 1: Trump called White Supremacists “fine people,” thus proving he is a racist.
Movie 2: Trump has publicly disavowed white supremacists numerous times, both before and after running for president. In the context of Charlottesville, the “fine people” he was referring to were non-racists who prefer keeping confederate statues for historical/cultural reasons. The anti-Trump wing of the media distorted President Trump’s statements to fit their racist narrative, saying incorrectly that he referred to the racists with tiki torches as the “fine people.” He didn’t.
For a longer explanation, see my blog post on the topic.
Calling NFL Kneelers “Sons-of-bitches” Scene
Movie 1: President Trump referred to the African-American football players kneeling during the national anthem in protest of police brutality as “sons of bitches,” thus proving he is a racist.
Movie 2: President Trump would criticize any American who disrespected the country. The main topic of the NFL protests has been police brutality, but the method of protest strikes many observers as disrespect for the flag.
Shithole Scene
Movie 1: During a closed meeting, Trump referred to people from several non-white-majority countries as “shit,” thus proving he is a racist.
Movie 2: In the context of immigration, Trump referred to some countries as “shithole countries” as a shorthand way of saying they have poor educational systems and low-performing economies. During the meeting, Trump asked for an explanation on the pros and cons of favoring those countries for immigration versus a merit-based system.
Animals Scene
Movie 1: President Trump referred to illegal immigrants as “animals,” thus proving he is a racist.
Movie 2: President Trump referred to MS-13 gang members as animals and the media took it out of context to mean immigrants in general.
The Roseanne’s Tweet Scene
Movie 1: Roseanne tweeted that Valerie Jarrett, who is part African-American, was like a cross between the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes. Years earlier, Roseanne once tweeted that Susan Rice, who is African-American, was a man with big swinging ape balls. President Trump did not disavow Roseanne’s comparisons of black people to apes, thus proving he is racist.
Movie 2: Roseanne said she didn’t know Valerie Jarrett was part African-American, and neither did most Trump supporters who couldn’t deduce her ethnic background by looking at her. That suggests Roseanne uses insulting monkey references no matter the assumed ethnicity of the target. President Trump did not disavow Roseanne’s tweet because the accusation that it was intentional racism was fake news. Trump supporters see Roseanne’s Planet of the Apes reference as a humorous comparison to the character played by Helena Bonham Carter, a white actress. And Trump supporters understand that white people routinely compare other white people to monkeys. For example, parents call their own grandkids monkeys. And they sometimes refer to large white men as big apes. In Movie 2, Roseanne made a terrible mistake, but it wasn’t an intentional racist reference.
Muslim Ban Scene
Movie 1: President Trump succeeded in banning several Muslim-majority countries from immigration to the United States, thus proving he is a racist.
Movie 2: President Trump banned immigration from countries with dysfunctional governments because it is hard to do background checks without reliable government records. The focus on Muslim countries is because Islamic terrorists can more easily blend in with Muslim refugees than they could with non-Muslim refugees, and we know they have tried to do exactly that.
“infestation” in Baltimore Scene
Movie 1: As a political counterattack on Representative Elijah Cummings, a black member of Congress, Trump said of Baltimore, which Cummings represents, that it was a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.” That is obviously racist because only a racist would use the word “infested” when speaking of a predominantly black city.
Movie 2: Infestation is a common word that works great for describing how bad things are in some urban area. In fact, Rep. Cummings used the same word to describe Baltimore, as you can see in this link. The main difference is that Trump was literally talking about rodents while Cummings referred to the residents who were criminals.

As I often say, we humans are not good at knowing which movie is the “real” one because the facts in evidence often fit more than one explanation of the past. So instead of looking to the past, I recommend seeing which movie best predicts future scenes.
For example, if you had been making predictions based on these different movies, Movie 1, predicted that President Trump would not be popular with Israel, and he wouldn’t take the bold step of moving the American embassy to Jerusalem. But both of those outcomes are compatible with Movie 2.
Movie 1 would have predicted there is no way President Trump would grant a posthumous pardon of African-American boxer Jack Johnson because it wouldn’t fit the racist dog whistle script. But Movie 2 is compatible with the pardon. Same with the pardon of Alice Johnson.
Movie 1 would have predicted that President Trump would underplay the fact that black unemployment reached its best level in the history of America. That’s the sort of accomplishment that would make his racist supporters stop hearing the secret racist dog whistle. It doesn’t fit. But President Trump’s frequent highlighting of gains for African-American citizens fits Movie 2 perfectly.
I realize no one reading this post will change movies because of it. My only point today is that mainstream Trump supporters are not knowingly supporting someone they believe to be a racist. It only looks that way to the folks trapped in Movie 1.
https://www.scottadamssays.com/2018/06/10/why-democrats-hear-a-secret-racist-dog-whistle-and-republicans-dont/
One of the biggest misconceptions about Trump supporters is that they see President Trump the same way his critics see him, and yet they like him anyway. The implication of that belief is that all Trump supporters are racists because they damn-well-know they support a leader who is one. Hardly a day goes by without some stranger on Twitter telling me in ominous tones that I will someday pay dearly for being a racist “apologist.” They assume I see President Trump the same way they see him.
In my book Win Bigly, I describe how the public is watching two movies on one screen. In Movie 1, Trump is a monster with many flaws, racism being at the top of the list. In Movie 2, President Trump ran on a platform of being a Republican who disdains political correctness, and the predictable outcome of that is non-stop accusations of racism. As a public service, I compiled some of the plot differences in the two movies, roughly in the order they happened, so you can compare the two scripts. I won’t try to convince you to switch movies. I’m only making the point that Trump supporters literally don’t see what anti-Trumpers regard as obvious.
Housing Discrimination Scene
Movie 1: In 1973, five years after the Fair Housing Act, Trump’s business settled a claim that it had discriminated against African-American applicants, thus proving he is a racist.
Movie 2: Employees of Trump’s company, whose incomes depended on their job performance, discriminated against African-American applicants in the belief that other potential tenants would be racists and less likely to want to live in a diverse building. Housing discrimination of that type is illegal. The Trump organization settled the suit out of court and took steps to make sure it wouldn’t happen again. There are no facts in evidence of Trump’s inner thoughts from 45 years ago. We only know what the staff did.
Central Park Five Scene
Movie 1: In 1989, Trump paid for a full-page ad in the New York Times calling for the death penalty for five African American men falsely accused of rape, thus proving he is a racist. He has never apologized, thus confirming he is a racist.
Movie 2: in 1989, Trump paid for a full-page ad in the New York times saying it was time to get tough on crime, including perhaps using the death penalty. The ad made one indirect reference to the Central Park incident as an example, at a time the police and prosecutors believed the accused were guilty. The ethnicities of the accused was neither mentioned nor implied in Trump’s ad. The topic was crime. When the accused were later cleared of all legal charges, Trump did not apologize, which is normal for him. He doesn’t apologize for anything.
Birtherism Scene
Movie 1: Prior to running for President, private citizen Trump promoted the conspiracy theory that President Obama might have been born in Africa, thus proving Trump is a racist.
Movie 2: Questioning a rival’s eligibility for office, for any reason, is normal politics. We observe Trump using every available form of persuasion against any critic who gets in his way. For example, during the 2016 Republican primaries he also questioned whether Ted Cruz was a Canadian citizen (he isn’t), and wondered aloud if Cruz’ father might have been involved in the assassination of President Kennedy (he wasn’t). In order to believe Trump was acting racist in questioning President Obama’s birth certificate, one must also believe he would not use the same tactic against a white candidate if the opportunity presented itself. In Movie 2, that seems deeply unlikely.
“They’re rapists” Scene
Movie 1: During the speech in which Trump announced his candidacy, he referred to illegal immigrants from Mexico as “rapists,” thus proving he is a racist.
Movie 2: President Trump noted that one of the big problems with illegal immigration from Mexico is that there are criminals in the group, and this country doesn’t need any more crime. This message was consistent with his tough-on-crime stance. The call-out of rape in particular might have been inspired by stories such as this one from Huffington Post, one of the President’s most vocal critics.
Failure to disavow KKK Scene
Movie 1: In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, candidate Trump hesitated to disavow David Duke and the KKK, thus proving he is a racist.
Movie 2: President Trump disavowed David Duke, the KKK, and White Supremacists multiple times, both before and after the Jake Tapper interview. Trump said he couldn’t hear Jake’s question because of a faulty earpiece. Trump seemed confused and/or hesitant about the question.
During the Tapper interview scene, Trump asked for a list of who he was being asked to disavow, clearly signaling that he sensed a trap coming. Would Trump next be asked to disavow non-racist groups that supported his tough-on-immigration stance? The media had already branded those supporters as racist too. In trying to avoid that obvious trap, Trump fumbled the question and made things worse. But racism was never the problem.
Hiring Steve Bannon Scene
Movie 1: Steve Bannon is a known white supremacist, so having him on the campaign staff and later briefly as an advisor in the White House proves Trump is a racist.
Movie 2: Steve Bannon is tough on illegal immigration, and tough on immigration from Muslim-majority countries with poor government records. His critics have framed him as being a racist because of it. People who know him personally say he isn’t.
The Racists Support Trump Scene
Movie 1: Racist groups support Trump because they hear his secret racist dog whistle, thus proving he is a racist.
Movie 2: Racists approve of Trump’s tough immigration policies in part, one assumes, because they think it will allow fewer non-whites into the country. Non-racist Trump supporters support Trump’s immigration policies because they place a high priority on law and order. Different groups can like the same thing for different reasons. For example, target shooters like guns, and murderers like guns, but that doesn’t make target shooters murderers.
Trump’s Awkward Language About “the blacks” scene
Movie 1: Trump once referred to African-Americans as “the blacks,” thus proving he is racist.
Movie 2: Trump says almost everything differently than the average person, and he doesn’t obsess over political correctness.
Judge Curiel Scene
Movie 1: President Trump said a “Mexican” judge couldn’t be fair, thus proving he is racist.
Movie 2: President Trump spoke about the judge in the common vernacular, the the same way Americans typically talk about their own ethnic backgrounds. Ask a neighbor whose grandparents immigrated to the United States from Italy to describe his family and he’s likely to say, “We’re Italian.”
Trump mentioned Judge Curiel’s Mexican heritage to point out that it could be a source of bias in the Trump University case because the media had successfully framed Trump as being racist against U.S. residents with Mexican roots. In the context of a legal case, it can be good strategy to question a judge’s impartiality. The intended effect of it is to influence the judge to bend over backwards to avoid the appearance of bias. In this situation, Judge Curiel had to rule on when to schedule the trial, and he chose the option that had the best appearance of fairness, scheduling it after the election, as Trump preferred. Trump’s legal strategy probably worked.
Charlottesville Scene
Movie 1: Trump called White Supremacists “fine people,” thus proving he is a racist.
Movie 2: Trump has publicly disavowed white supremacists numerous times, both before and after running for president. In the context of Charlottesville, the “fine people” he was referring to were non-racists who prefer keeping confederate statues for historical/cultural reasons. The anti-Trump wing of the media distorted President Trump’s statements to fit their racist narrative, saying incorrectly that he referred to the racists with tiki torches as the “fine people.” He didn’t.
For a longer explanation, see my blog post on the topic.
Calling NFL Kneelers “Sons-of-bitches” Scene
Movie 1: President Trump referred to the African-American football players kneeling during the national anthem in protest of police brutality as “sons of bitches,” thus proving he is a racist.
Movie 2: President Trump would criticize any American who disrespected the country. The main topic of the NFL protests has been police brutality, but the method of protest strikes many observers as disrespect for the flag.
Shithole Scene
Movie 1: During a closed meeting, Trump referred to people from several non-white-majority countries as “shit,” thus proving he is a racist.
Movie 2: In the context of immigration, Trump referred to some countries as “shithole countries” as a shorthand way of saying they have poor educational systems and low-performing economies. During the meeting, Trump asked for an explanation on the pros and cons of favoring those countries for immigration versus a merit-based system.
Animals Scene
Movie 1: President Trump referred to illegal immigrants as “animals,” thus proving he is a racist.
Movie 2: President Trump referred to MS-13 gang members as animals and the media took it out of context to mean immigrants in general.
The Roseanne’s Tweet Scene
Movie 1: Roseanne tweeted that Valerie Jarrett, who is part African-American, was like a cross between the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes. Years earlier, Roseanne once tweeted that Susan Rice, who is African-American, was a man with big swinging ape balls. President Trump did not disavow Roseanne’s comparisons of black people to apes, thus proving he is racist.
Movie 2: Roseanne said she didn’t know Valerie Jarrett was part African-American, and neither did most Trump supporters who couldn’t deduce her ethnic background by looking at her. That suggests Roseanne uses insulting monkey references no matter the assumed ethnicity of the target. President Trump did not disavow Roseanne’s tweet because the accusation that it was intentional racism was fake news. Trump supporters see Roseanne’s Planet of the Apes reference as a humorous comparison to the character played by Helena Bonham Carter, a white actress. And Trump supporters understand that white people routinely compare other white people to monkeys. For example, parents call their own grandkids monkeys. And they sometimes refer to large white men as big apes. In Movie 2, Roseanne made a terrible mistake, but it wasn’t an intentional racist reference.
Muslim Ban Scene
Movie 1: President Trump succeeded in banning several Muslim-majority countries from immigration to the United States, thus proving he is a racist.
Movie 2: President Trump banned immigration from countries with dysfunctional governments because it is hard to do background checks without reliable government records. The focus on Muslim countries is because Islamic terrorists can more easily blend in with Muslim refugees than they could with non-Muslim refugees, and we know they have tried to do exactly that.

Barberries and berberine
From what I have looked at: some berberine can be made from some roots, rhizomes, stems, and bark. But that method can have side effects that you don't get from barberries, which are also a good source of berberine.
Barberries may be the most antioxidant packed fruit available, and may have many health benefits.

30 Questions Globalists Can't Answer
Questions:
1. If we’re all just the same, then how is diversity our strength?
2. If diversity is a strength, then how is it also a punishment for colonialism?
3. If immigration is our punishment for colonialism, are you saying the presence of immigrants is bad?
4. Why is multiculturalism a good thing when it’s imposed on White people, and a bad thing when it’s imposed on other indigenous peoples?
5. Why is White pride condemned, but pride of any other ethnic group celebrated?
6. If there’s no such thing as race, then how is there such a thing as White privilege?
7. If race is just a social construct, then how do they know we’ve always been a nation of immigrants because we dug up Black skeletons during the Roman occupation of Britain?
8. If there’s no such thing as British culture, then how is Ramadan now part of British culture?
9. If America belongs to the American Indians because they were there first, does Britain belong to the British because we were here first?
10. Why are White Americans told go back to Europe where they came from because America belongs to American Indians, while Europeans are told that we all came from Africa so our nations aren’t ours?
11. If Africans are allowed to live in Britain because of the British Empire, does this mean that anybody can go live in any country that has previously invaded their country? Or could it just be that a falsified narrative of the British Empire is used to guilt White people into opening up their borders, and is manipulated by people who want to live in a First World civilization so that they don’t have to create their own?
12. If we were so awful and oppressive to your ancestors, then why did you want to come and live with us?
13. If you demand reparations for slavery, then how much are you going to demand from the Black slavers who sold your ancestors to us?
14. If you’re so concerned about slavery, where’s your concern for 40 million + people who are in slavery today? Or do they not matter because they’re not held captive by White people?
15. If you care about the wellbeing of people from other nations, then why are you happy to take their best doctors, engineers and scientists?
16. If we needed immigrants to rebuild Britain after WW2, then why didn’t we need immigrants after WW1 when more than double the amount of people died? If it’s because Britain was damaged after the Blitz, then why didn’t Japan need immigrants after Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
17. If we needed immigrants to rebuild Britain after WW2, then why did our government fund the £10 Pom Scheme which encouraged
1.5 million Britons to move to Australia?
18. If David Lammy is as British as us, then shouldn’t he apologise for slavery and colonialism too?
19. If Afua Hirsch is as British as us, then why did she write in her book Brit(ish) that she left Britain to leave being British?
20. Why do the British only exist when you’re blaming us for colonialism?
21. Why can’t we feel proud of our ancestors, but we can feel guilty for colonialism?
22. Why can’t I feel proud of my ancestors, but you can feel victimised because of yours?
23. If Britons are collectively guilty for colonialism, then are Muslims collectively guilty for the Islamic invasions of Europe?
24. Why are all nationalists held responsible for the acts of some nationalists, but all Muslims aren’t held responsible for terror attacks committed by Muslims?
25. Why do people say “Well if we weren’t bombing their countries…” after a Muslim commits a terror attack, but they don’t say “Well if they weren’t invading our continent…” after a White person attacks a Muslim?
26. Why should we only carry on as normal and not look back in anger after an Islamic terror attack?
27. Why are the people who claim to care the most about the environment also the people who want the most immigration, which grows our population and has a negative impact on the environment?
28. How can you call yourself a feminist when you ignore violence towards women with different ideologies, teenage girls in Rotherham and 8-year-old girls at pop concerts?
29. Why is it open borders for Europe, but not open borders for Israel?
30. Why are the group who claim to be the most oppressed, also the group with the power to silence you?

CBS TV Show Advocates Using Political Violence
Conservatives criticize Ilhan Omar hate filled rhetoric, and the
conservatives are accused of inciting violence. This in spite of the
fact that the conservatives did no such thing.
This while the left brazenly promotes violence.
UPDATE: CBS deleted the tweet and the video. A back-up version can be seen below.
CBS and Good Fight Expose their own Extreme Beliefs, Incite Violence
This while the left brazenly promotes violence.
CBS TV Show Advocates Using Political Violencehttps://summit.news/2019/04/13/cbs-tv-show-advocates-using-political-violence/
“It’s time to punch a few Nazis”.
A promo clip for the CBS legal drama show The Good Fight openly advocates using violence to silence political opinions.
The video features an African-American man walking through the scene of what appears to be a violent demonstration or a riot.
The man says that he previously did not advocate violence, but then saw a video of alt-right leader Richard Spencer being punched in the face and changed his mind.
“Some speech requires a more visceral response,” he states, adding that the Overton Window (the frame of acceptable opinions) is only maintained by “some enforcement”.
“So yeah, this is enforcement. It’s time to punch a few Nazis,” he adds.
The clip then cuts to demonstrators being violent while another man with a baseball bat jumps on top of a vehicle.
Given that many on the far-left think that literally everyone who disagrees with their warped view of the world is a “Nazi,” the term has lost all meaning.
This is merely a dog whistle for fringe extremist Antifa groups who have engaged in political violence against Trump supporters, people carrying American flags, and all manner of other innocent targets who were not “Nazis”.
The clip is also clearly a violation of Twitter’s rules, which state, “You may not make specific threats of violence or wish for the serious physical harm, death, or disease of an individual or group of people.”

Calling anti-communists "fascists" is an official communist directive that goes back to 1943
I found the 38 second clip below to be really interesting. I hope other's will watch it.
I remember when I took political science, the instructor drew a diagram on the board. On one end of the political spectrum, he explained, were communists, on the other end were fascists.
We were taught that these two ideologies were diametrically opposed. Communists were far left, fascists were far right. Communists hated fascists, fascists hated communists.
I took notes, and gave the "correct" answer on the exam. But this always seemed odd to me. I would have thought the opposite of communism would be libertarianism. It seemed to me that fascists, and communists, had much in common. Both ideologies are authoritarian, both oppose free expression, both oppose citizens owning guns, both believe the government should provide all essential service, like healthcare.
Nazis are often cited as an example of fascism. But "Nazi" means: the National Socialist German Workers' Party. Below is an actual quotes by Hitler:
“We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions”
Hitler made many other such quotes. These quotes are essentially identical to the rhetoric we are hearing today from Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Corte.
Yet leftists accuse, censor, and even violently punish anybody who criticizes the left's ideology as being "fascists." The leftist militant group "Antifa" is supposed to mean "Anti-Fascist." But are those who oppose leftist ideologies really fascists, or does the left label conservatives as such as a justification for the left's violence and censorship? The 38 second video below, by G. Edward Griffin, may be informative.
