Narrative Collapse
Patrick Byrne, Bobby Kennedy & More
Good week for the good guys. As the market continues to levitate on hopium, underneath the socio-political surface, good guys continue to throw sand in the gears of the Leviathan.
While the ultimate goal is to re-take the White House and re-institute some measure of sanity while simultaneously undergoing a deep restructuring of the Federal Government (Vivek R. has some terrific ideas here), there have been some bright spots despite the day to day deluge of chaos and gaslighting.
Two key moments highlighted the week along with some other noise.
First, was Patrick Byrne’s bombshell interview with the Capitol Times, a new magazine. Byrne describes firsthand evidence of Deep State dark magic relating to first hand knowledge of several barn busters including:
Hillary Clinton accepting a $20M bribe from Azerbaijan during a sting Patrick set up himself with the help of the FBI;
Being told to never speak of the sting again as Obama planned to keep it ‘in his pocket’ during Hillary’s presidency and control her like a puppeteer.
Hunter Biden setting up an $800 million bribe with Iran and offering for Joe to help them with the Nuclear Agmt negotiations and unlocking $8B in Iranian funds frozen in South Korea (10% for the ‘Big Guy’).
The FBI and Deep State actors signing off on the ‘rape and murder’ of Maria Butina;
Massive election fraud and irregularities from 2020 and 2022 in Maricopa County and elsewhere;
FBI stonewalling the Hunter Biden laptop investigation and erasing key files from the hard drive which he has a complete copy of;
Bill Barr telling him in mid-2020 that the both of them we’re going to end up in a FEMA camp in July 2021 if things didn’t change;
Barr noticeably changing his tune and refusing to investigate the 2020 election fraud and then lying about it after meeting Rupert Murdoch in a private meeting in August 2020 and then seeing a friend of his killed in a suspicious helicopter crash
Senate Judiciary Committee members telling him as early as 2006 that certain nefarious elements of the government (Deep State actors) were taking over the US and committing gross acts of treason and corruption.
And much, much more.
It’s the wildest interview I’ve ever read. But for Patrick’s reputation for integrity and honesty and the corruption that has been revealed recently about the Biden Crime Family, I’d be quick to dismiss it.
It’s a must read. I can’t say this highly enough.
Here’s my Twitter summary and this week’s midweek update on Sovereign Sunday.
And the full article.
Bobby Kennedy Launches a Hammer at the Leviathan.
For those old enough to remember the Apple Macintosh SuperBowl commercial, metaphorically that was Bobby Kennedy this week at a Town Hall from NewsNation.
Along with Elon Musk and a handful of others, there is no greater current threat to the Deep State, administrative Leviathan than Democratic Presidential Candidate RFK Jr.
Here he was at the Town Hall responding to a physician about his ‘anti-vax’ position (which is anything but).
It’s a must watch.
Here’s the vaccine segment but the whole thing is worth watching.
The bald-faced lies and gaslighting around Covid and the experimental vaccine opened up the realization for many people that the entire vaccine industry is built on lies.
Kennedy clearly rebuts the interviewer and doctor in the audience when he lays down the gauntlet that, “None of these vaccines have ever been tested against a placebo….”
I wrote the same last week.
Here’s a few additional chats that are eye-opening. It’s Turtles All the Way Down.
Mr. Clarence Thomas and the Supremes
Epic week across the board for the Supreme Court. While I have my issues with Donald Trump and his lack of execution, narcissistic ego and failure on all fronts relating to election integrity, it’s hard to find fault with the man this week after the Supreme Court delivered a handful of gangbuster opinions including reprimanding Harvard for discriminating on the basis of race when selecting applicants for admission.
There are ample discussions available online regarding this topic, so I'll keep my remarks concise. Affirmative action, in today's society, is fundamentally flawed and has contributed to the development of harmful stereotypes about the competence of Black individuals across all levels of accomplishment.
As my friend Sean put it, “It should be noted that colleges and universities are still permitted to favor disadvantaged *people* in admissions. The practical effect of this is that many minorities will still have a greater chance of being admitted.
However, what colleges and universities can no longer do is explicitly use race as a crude proxy or “heuristic” (as Justice Thomas called it) for being disadvantaged. And that is as it should be (both legally and morally).
We know that applying racial stereotypes to individual humans is a bad idea. It’s bad for many reasons, one of them being that the stereotype doesn’t map reliably to any specific individual. We do minority individuals much harm when we assume them to be personally disadvantaged simply because their racial group has historically been disadvantaged.
Truly disadvantaged persons (regardless of race) will have no more challenge getting into these schools than they did before this ruling. But colleges and universities will no longer be able to just assume that you’re disadvantaged by virtue of your race. And…that’s a good thing.”
The application of affirmative action diminishes the reputation of qualified candidates and unfairly tarnishes the accomplishments of black individuals who are accepted, implying they are inherently inadequate.
In the United States, it is difficult to find a person who doesn't harbor some subconscious concerns when encountering a black doctor about to perform a life-saving surgery or a black pilot operating a commercial airliner. These doubts arise from questioning whether these individuals truly earned their positions based on merit and qualifications, or if they were simply chosen to fulfill diversity quotas.
This phenomenon stems from the damaging concept of racism, grounded in low expectations, which suggests that black and brown candidates are incapable of competing on an equal footing with their white and Asian counterparts.
The statistics are harsh.
It is important to recognize that every underqualified candidate admitted through affirmative action denies an opportunity to another individual who deserved admission based on their academic achievements and overall qualifications. Additionally, enforcing the score-keeping aspect of affirmative action without considering actual need or disadvantage becomes a challenging task. Apart from being morally repugnant and an unconstitutional method of addressing past discrimination, the pragmatic question arises: how long should affirmative action persist, even if its existence can be justified?
Throughout my life of over 50 years, black (and brown) candidates have consistently received preferential and unfair treatment across various societal levels, ranging from college admissions to employment. The idea that an unchangeable characteristic, such as the color of one's skin, should dictate a person's worth is fundamentally flawed. This notion contradicts the principles enshrined in the Constitution and challenges the very fabric of our society, where "all men are created equal."
During my time in junior high, I attended a private school for a year and found myself surrounded by black candidates whose parents were doctors, lawyers, and actors—individuals who belonged to the highest echelons of wealth and privilege. Yet, these applicants were granted special treatment in the admission process solely because of their racial background. Consequently, a white student from Reseda, with no father and a working-class single mother, was denied admission to make room for the black son of a Hollywood lawyer.
Should a white working-class student from Appalachia be discriminated against based on their skin color, while the children of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett, with SAT scores and grades that pale in comparison to those of a coal miner's daughter, are accepted into college?
It is time to shift towards a more meritocratic system and address the actual societal issues that contribute to the relative underperformance of black candidates. Liberal paternalism or low expectations cannot effectively resolve the legacy of the Great Society or the repercussions of the Drug War.
No amount of "help" in the form of race-based discrimination can overcome:
1. Public policies that favor single mothers over nuclear families.
2. The absence of fathers in nearly 70% of black households.
3. A prejudiced criminal justice system that disproportionately enslaves and punishes black individuals for minor, non-violent drug offenses.
4. A failing public education system that prioritizes teacher's unions over students and results in children struggling with basic academic tasks even after twelve years of schooling.
Implementing educational choice for parents, along with tax and public policy initiatives that incentivize family cohesion and discourage out-of-wedlock births, would provide more effective support for disadvantaged candidates than subjecting them to the lasting stigma of unearned accomplishments and placing them in circumstances that set them up for failure.
By promoting capital formation and entrepreneurship, reforming underperforming schools, and restoring decision-making power to parents in terms of educational choices, we can create an environment conducive to Black wealth creation and equity. It is crucial to eliminate counterproductive policies, such as the senseless War on Drugs, and pursue a comprehensive set of reforms that address the systemic issues that hinder progress.
Additionally, comprehensive reforms of the child support system and education would yield greater benefits in empowering disadvantaged candidates than relying on affirmative action alone. Rather than perpetuating a cycle of dependency and lowering standards, we should focus on providing opportunities for growth and success.
To truly achieve parity in wealth creation and equity for Black individuals, we need to dismantle the barriers imposed by widespread affirmative action mandates, curtail the unchecked power of teachers' unions, and actively promote the preservation of nuclear families and faith-based solutions. These measures, combined with a holistic approach to reform, will pave the way for a more equitable and prosperous society.
It is important to acknowledge that every minority group and immigrant arriving in this country carries with them past traumas and challenges. Despite these obstacles, most have successfully overcome them and achieved progress, with African immigrants often surpassing domestically born black individuals in various areas.
To foster real advancement, internal reforms within black culture itself are essential. It is not solely poor public policies that have hindered progress for Black Americans. There are cultural factors that contribute to the celebration of fatherless homes, the undervaluation of education, and the lack of emphasis on hard work, individual responsibility, and accountability. These traits, now unfortunately labeled as "white supremacist" characteristics by some on the political Left, have hindered progress within Black America. However, having a meaningful discussion on this topic remains a challenge for many.
If our goal is to establish a fully meritocratic system, I would support the elimination of legacy preferences as well. However, it is crucial to differentiate between the two issues. Legacy preferences, while unfair, are not morally repugnant and are not explicitly prohibited by the Constitution. It is worth noting that legacy students tend to perform better academically once admitted compared to the average student, while candidates accepted through affirmative action often face higher rates of dropout and academic struggles.
Affirmative action, in its current form, has inadvertently perpetuated stereotypes of incompetent black individuals and has resulted in widespread resentment and suspicion from both candidates and colleagues alike. It is imperative to address these concerns and reassess the effectiveness of affirmative action in achieving its intended goals.
If that means establishing more institutions like HSBCs, or other schools that cater specifically to the appropriate level of achievement for black candidates, is necessary, then so be it. Even better, rather than adding a couple of thousand slots in colleges, why don’t we comprehensively reform and improve the secondary education experience and impact millions of black students positively.
Ultimately, a meritocratic system where race does not factor into decision-making is the only fair and viable approach.
In reality, colleges may continue to find ways to circumvent the implementation of the law. We have seen examples of this, such as Harvard's immediate release of a statement subtly encouraging minority candidates to focus their essays on the impact of race and discrimination in their lives.
However, if society demands that black individuals meet the same standards as others, they will rise to the challenge and strive to meet those expectations.
The protests and outcry from paternalistic (and racist) liberals may persist initially, but they will eventually subside. When individuals have been accustomed to preferential treatment for an extended period, the pursuit of equality can sometimes feel like oppression.
Ultimately, the bottom line is that the Constitution does not permit race-based discrimination. It is an abhorrent practice that we have morally despised throughout history, from the atrocities of Nazi Germany to the institution of slavery and beyond.
Here’s ‘former Biden aide” Erica Marsh telling you what most liberals actually think about Black America and bringing a famous past meme to life.
The Court also shot down Creepy Joe’s blatantly unconstitutional student loan bailout. Biden and his administration knew it couldn’t pass Constitutional muster, and yet issued the Executive Order anyway before the 2022 election to drum up votes from clueless Millenials and Zoomers by dangling a carrot of free money. Sorry guys, you’ll have to go back to paying your bills.
Nevertheless, this does not absolve the student loan industry and predatory colleges that take advantage of young individuals. It is worth noting the irony that while the Left argues that 18-year-olds are not mature enough to take out student loans, they seem to be comfortable with 12-year-olds making life-altering decisions about "gender-affirming" surgeries without parental consent.
If financial institutions like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley can receive zero percent interest loans during the Global Financial Crisis and beyond, it is only fair that those pursuing education receive similar treatment at a minimum. Contracts hold immense importance in society and serve as the foundation for private property and prosperity under capitalism (which might explain why some millennials with communist leanings disdain them).
Moving forward, if there is any government involvement in student loans, the least we can do is eliminate interest on these loans or make the colleges offering the degrees cosign on them. It might even be worth considering partial forgiveness for individuals pursuing worthwhile degrees such as engineering and medicine, while potentially excluding fields like Gender Studies and Critical Race Theory.
And blending the two big issues before the Court this week, here’s Biden’s affirmative action Secretary of Education confusing Congressional legislation with an Executive Order from his boss.
NYC Saying the Quiet Part out Loud
I enjoyed this not so subtle statement I saw posted in the NYC Subway.
Respect Trans people, or the State will murder you.
God Bless the Tolerant Left.
Not to be outdone, NYC also targeted the Number 1 nemesis of Climate Change, wood-fired pizza ovens.
John Kerry’s private jet emits more emissions in one flight than wood-fired NYC pizza ovens do in their entire lives. But then again, it’s not about emissions, or climate change. It’s about CONTROL. Pure and simple.
Good luck with this statist overreach. One thing I love about my Italian paisanos, they subscribe to the FAFO code fully. Let’s see how far you get with this nonsense.

France is Burning
While you may have seen very little in the mainstream media, France has been burning all week suffering their worst riots in nearly a century.
On June 26, Nahel, a 17-year-old boy of Algerian and Moroccan descent, was shot and killed by French police in Nanterre, a suburb of Paris. The circumstances of his death are still unclear, but his death has sparked outrage among Algerians in France and Algeria.
My primary interest lies in understanding how domestic events in other countries may influence or develop similar situations within the United States. France, in this context, may serve as an analog for the US, as well as many other European nations that have allowed significant immigration without adequately promoting assimilation among newcomers.
A country is only a country when it shares common language, culture and borders bound together by a story (history). France and many other European countries have failed miserably at this task (perhaps deliberately so), and now they are bearing the burdens of their lack of vision and effort. Perhaps this was the plan of the WEF globalist puppets running these countries all along. Either way, the chickens have come home to roost.
When I look at France, I fear that is what’s going to hit us in 2024 with the imported mercenary army the Biden regime let in through the southern border. It’s going to be state allowed terrorism like never seen before.
Here’s a few highlights from the ‘fiery but peaceful’ riots that have been noticeably absent in the mainstream media.
Moon River Reboot
To celebrate Independence Day, here’s the original and a spicy cover below of Andy Williams’ classic ‘Moon River’ courtesy of Chat-GPT with some editing from yours truly.
(Verse 1)
"Long Rifle, greater than a mile,
A beacon of hope, amidst the wild,
Forever defending, under the open sky,
Protecting freedom, with your aim so high.
(Chorus)
You sharp shooter, guardian of light,
Shining bright through the fearsome night,
For the Republic, standing tall,
With each echo, tyranny falls.
(Verse 2)
With every shadow, under the sun,
You stand ready, until the dawn,
Long Rifle, symbol of might,
Guardian of justice, in the moonlight.
(Chorus)
You sharp shooter, ever so true,
Guided by stars, and the red, white, and blue,
Long Rifle, in you we trust,
Against the winds, through dust and gust.
(Ending)
Long Rifle, in the days to come,
May your echo bring freedom to every home,
Across the mountains, over the sea,
Defending the land of the brave and free."
Rumor has it, this is the official anthem and brings tears to the eyes of our favorite Los Angeles homies, the Rooftop Koreans.
