1. Military Intelligence Contact is confirming Mr. X’s sources, MarkZ's sources, and Bruce's sources and others saying that the RV release, liquidity shotgun start, & T4B start may happen any time over the next seven days or so under the cover of the current military...

I do times inbetween tweets, translate the difference, plug the numbers back to the drops. Lookin at DJT this will be a more inclusive one. We'll look at three tweets instead of two, don't worry I'll seperate and post a refresh snip in the interest of organization.

Post all three up (tweets). Do the base first, both tweets are subtracted though the first snip stays the same (just the way I did it). So 19:10 on the 7th is the base. 2nd snip, 10:44am Jan 8th. 3rd, today at 9:46.

Our differences looking like such.
First snip in red so,
1534, 1556, 934 , 4065
Blue is, 1436, 3806, 146[0], 876, 2556

Red branch first, info and timestamps in the drop are up to the user. 1534, 1556, 934 , 4065.

934, 4065

This view that only government's can censor, that only state agents coming to your house and slapping something over your mouth counts as limiting free speech, really needs to be tackled.

The oddest part is that's it's generally the left which seems most content to let private companies wield extraordinary power over who can speak and how.

There are all sorts of legitimate reasons to limit free speech. Right now we are seeing one of them with Trump - to prevent incitement to violence and a threat to the functioning of democracy. But it is still censorship.

We need to be clear that that is what it is, rather than limiting our definition of censorship to the smallest range of actions conceivable.

This is not a new idea. Benjamin Constant, Harriet Taylor and John Stuart Mill were treating the silencing which comes from society as equivalent, or more dangerous, than that of the state hundreds of years ago.

4chan:
A mole got caught from the Nashville 💣. Trapped set. Bait taken. The new modern Boston Tea Party for the history books.

Rumor is that Biden’s team is about to go radio silent with the exception of their Twitter admins.

I am seriously worried about the future of our Republic. The reason I worry is because our system is seriously at risk as a direct result of the quality of our elected officials. They are completely unable/unwilling to do what is right at any point.

To explain:

In Federalist 10, James Madison wrote about the problem of factions and how they destroy governments and societies. In that essay, he specifically explained we are set up as a Republic to fight against factionalism, which runs rampant in a direct democracy.

When a group/faction gets together and pursues a particular objective (even if it is bad and undermines society), then it is hard for anyone to fight against it in a direct democracy. They have the votes so they can force everyone else to go down their preferred path.

Madison noted that you can fight against such factionalism by addressing the causes (denying all liberty to people or having everyone agree) or addressing the effects. It is obviously bad to deny people freedom (see China) and it is against human nature for everyone to just agree

So a direct Democracy is useless in fighting against ignorant or misinformed masses so founders instead looked for way to limit the effects of such factions. They did that by dispersing power and trusting elected officials to behave responsibly.

Let me make this clear @Douglas4Moray. THE COURTS not THE GOVERNMENT and NOT PARLIAMENT are masters of law and THE ONLY ONES ALLOWED TO INTERPRET IT. Parliament makes laws, The courts interpret them. Government and Parliament DO NOT SIT ABOVE THE COURTS. They sit EQUAL TO THEM.

This is to stop Governments and Parliaments from going off on one and becoming a full dictatorship. Only a court can rule something lawful or unlawful. I'm surprised that as a member of parliament you do not understand this very simple concept.

Inherent in the right to vote is the right not to vote. That is your choice if you opt not to vote in a referendum and the Tories boycott it. BUT LET ME BE CRYSTAL CLEAR - IF THE COURTS DETERMINE (and your panic shows how good our case is) THAT IT IS LAWFUL FOR HOLYROOD...

...TO LEGISLATE FOR A SECOND REFERENDUM WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF WESTMINSTER (#PEOPLESAS30) then your "boycott" is NOT a "boycott" - It would not delegitimise the vote. Only the courts get to decide what is lawful or unlawful. Not you or your tory cronnies.

The courts having said a referendum WOULD BE LAWFUL would mean that IT WOULD BE YOU WILFULLY MAKING THE CHOICE NOT TO VOTE IN THAT REFERENDUM - IT WOULD BE THE FREE EXERCISE OF YOUR RIGHT NOT TO VOTE, INHERENT IN THE RIGHT TO VOTE! - YOU'LL HAVE MADE THE CHOICE COGNISANT OF...

Operation Rickety Donkey Cart, is well on it’s way to getting us to herd immunity by 2025.

We have to normalize the belief that government, run effectively, makes our lives better.

We have to acknowledge, at long last, Reaganism was poison. And Trumpism is its pure form.

We used to be a great country that did great things like putting men on the moon.

Now we are a silly country that can’t organize itself to distribute a vital medicine with a year’s warning.

We can do it again, but not until we make belief that governance is good again.

This is what did it. This was the beginning of the accelerating decline in our stature I’ve been watching my whole life. I mean, the monsters are *still proud* of this line. They feature it on their website.

Can you imagine that was an applause line for a political party? People who actually wanted to govern?

We need to get these clowns away from the levers of power for good. They always make this self-fulfilling prophecy, and now the cost is in hundreds of thousands of lives lost.

Why is anyone surprised that when clowns like these are in charge they can’t find their ass with two hands and a map?

Normalize the belief that thoughtful and effective governance is good and necessary.

1. Military Intelligence Contact Update continued...

. Our guy's info is the same as Dr. Charlie Ward's sources who gave Charlie a list that "over the next few days" we will see:
. (1) Significant declassification disclosure of Deep State players' criminality,

Here's a short thread of the questions I asked the Information Commissioner, Elizabeth Denham, on the ICO’s investigation into Cambridge Analytica's seized servers and use of personal data. @CommonsDCMS

Firstly, I asked the Information Commissioner about the US Intelligence Committee's report and if they had contacted the ICO to receive evidence that had been seized from Cambridge Analytica's servers. She says she hasn't been contacted but would share if officially requested.

In April 2019 the ICO office promised a report into the
seizure of some of Cambridge Analytica's servers. I asked the Commissioner why the @CommonsDCMS only received a letter and not a report as stated.

Next I asked about material which fell outside of the ICO's investigation but wasn't passed onto other authorities. The Commissioner says they have passed on data to the National Crime Agency, but they are in consultation with experts on what should be retained or disposed.

I then asked about new evidence which has come to light since the ICO's investigation which shows the relationship between Cambridge Analytica and AIQ is a lot closer than the ICO's findings stated.

I've been thinking: What if the Texas case was a test for SCOTUS to see how deeply it had been corrupted? As Thomas noted with Alito's concurrence, SCOTUS is the court of original jurisdiction for disputes between States.

1/

Thomas is by far the most originalist Justice on the Court. While I haven't read the opinion closely, if he did not see a problem with standing, there most assuredly was NOT a problem with standing.

2/

That would mean that Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Barrett failed the test, along with Roberts, Kagan, Sotomayor, and Breyer. SEVEN Justices corrupted at SCOTUS.

THREAD: It’s #ImpeachmentDay and I’ve got money on my mind.

We learned yesterday that Trump’s largest lender, Deutsche Bank, is done doing business with him.

Before he took office, no U.S. major bank was willing to do business with him.

And in the last 48 hours, we’ve seen scores of major companies respond to last week’s riots & the refusal to certify the free & fair election (all fueled by Trump himself), cut off political donations, and some terminating business/payment processing for the Trump Campaign.

The PGA cancelling the upcoming championship at Trump Bedminster was another major blow to Trump’s bottom line & brand.

None of this would have happened if Trump was simply ending his term like any normal President.

Two weeks ago he was considered the Replican party “king maker” whose influence would be looming for the foreseeable future.

Last Wednesday changed everything and that’s part of what this impeachment hearing is all about.

Unlike the first impeachment which was Republicans vs Democrats, Trump is in his own lane- along with some lawmakers who pushed misinformation, tried to block certification and welcomed the “Stop The Steal” movement to DC.

Bored? Wanna help ID Fascists? Here is a 350GB folder of DC videos, a map of Parler videos (with post ids), and the link to Parler Metadata. Once archives are up you can use map + ID's + data to find

Herd immunity by infection strategy is back. People need to know. The reason why the UK government chose 8th of March is because it is exactly three weeks after they anticipate vaccinating people who were shielding. Then they will open up and everyone else will be infected. This

is precisely the same disastrous idea from last year - it is the same as "send all the vulnerable people to Scotland and let the virus rip through the rest of the population." The only difference now is shielding by way of a vaccine and not by social distancing. The government's

plan will see enormous numbers of people infected, and enormous numbers of people very sick, and large numbers dying. The Oxford vaccine only has 70% efficacy, so up to a third of vulnerable people will still be susceptible to disease. But more than this - we should be aiming not

to allow the virus to rip through the population as soon as the most vulnerable are vaccinated - we should be aiming to get the virus to the lowest possible levels and keep it there. COVID does affect younger people. 40% of people being admitted to hospital now are under 65.

Everyone needs to know that this is the government's plan. It doesn't need to be this way - just as it didn't need to be that way last year. It is unbelievable that they are still doing this - that the opposition is not opposing it, and that journalists are not asking questions.

1/ How do we prevent the next grifter-in-chief and stop Congress from enabling criminals in government?

2/ Trump and McConnell are both pushing pardons. Trump wants pardons for his criminal cronies, enablers, and children. McConnell wants pardons for meat packing plants and corporate criminals.

3/ Although past presidents have had family members working for them - Attorney General Bobby Kennedy is a famous example - none have ever had to pardon their family members for criminal activity in the White House. Until Trump.

4/ Trump’s family of grifters have been extracting money from our government and the American people since day one, starting with the inaugural fund scandal. Just since he lost the election. Trump has raised over $170, million: the grift continues!

5/ Trump has sold out our country and our values. He’s given top-secret information to foreign adversaries, embraced dictators and autocrats around the world, and enthusiastically damaged our relationships with allies. It’s almost as if he’s working for a foreign government.

The White supremacists who attacked the Capitol on 1/6 claimed they were defending America from the coming destruction of an antiracist politics. This fearmongering piece argues antiracist demands at schools “would destroy the institutions themselves.”

White supremacist violence is tacitly being fomented by pieces like this one. McWhorter urged people to “resist destructive demands” and press “for the very survival of the institution,” and praised a professor who said the demands would lead to a “’civil war on campus.’” 2/9

And, as usual when writing on antiracism, McWhorter is arguing against himself. He misrepresented the position of campus activists and argued against his own misrepresentations. 3/9

He misrepresented these activists as believing their institutions are entirely racist, have never made antiracist changes, and need “to be blown up.” Then he points to the reforms these schools have made. 4/9

In fact, these activists would almost certainly acknowledge the existence of past reforms. But the issue is these institutions still have widespread and pervasive inequities and injustices which of course McWhorter fails to mention. 5/9
