The last few days have seen the US ramping up its war on domestic political dissent in multiple ways, with US lawmakers petitioning the Biden administration to crack down on anti-genocide protesters it suspects of foreign influence, and a journalist critical of US foreign policy coming under the crosshairs of Washington’s increasingly weaponized Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
The FBI has raided the home of former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter, a vocal critic of US foreign policy toward Russia.
Consortium News reports:
“Federal agents removed Ritter’s electronic equipment and numerous boxes of paper files from his Albany, N.Y. area home Thursday on suspicion that the former U.N. weapons inspector is violating the U.S. Foreign Agents Registration Act.
“In a video posted to his Substack page, Ritter said that normally in alleged FARA violation cases the authorities send a letter to the subject of the inquiry informing them of the investigation. They do not send numerous F.B.I. agents to the door with a warrant to search and remove potential evidence.
“The warrant, a copy of which Ritter posted, only called for electronic devices to be removed, but the agents, whom Ritter said acted professionally, also removed boxes of paper United Nations files from his days as a U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq in the 1990s. As Ritter says in the video, U.N. documents are never classified and could have nothing to do with the alleged FARA case against him.
“‘So the idea that, this is normal procedure is absurd in the extreme. I’m not a foreign agent. What I am is a journalist. And this is how we need to couch this entire thing. What the F.B.I. did yesterday, what the United States government did yesterday, was a frontal assault not only on free speech, but a free press,’ Ritter said in the video.”
The US has been getting increasingly aggressive in using FARA to suppress political speech that is critical of US foreign policy, with dissident voices being increasingly targeted by the Department of Justice on accusation of circulating unauthorized ideas in collaboration with governments like China and Russia.
This coincides with a report from Ken Klippenstein about a letter sent to the White House by 22 members of Congress demanding that protesters against the US-backed genocide in Gaza be investigated for any unauthorized affiliation with foreign governments, and severely penalized if any ties are found to “the Iranian regime”.
Klippenstein writes:
“Last Thursday, 22 members of Congress sent a letter to the Biden administration demanding the investigation and criminal prosecution as well as financial ruin of Gaza war protesters, whom they claim have received funding from Iran. ‘We write today regarding recent revelations that certain anti-Israel organizations in the United States have received funding from the Iranian regime,’ the letter begins. The revelation originated in a recent statement by Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines [JdN:Jewess!], on top of statements by FBI director Christopher Wray and Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco that Iran is trying to influence public opinion.
“The letter goes on to call for the Justice Department ‘to criminally prosecute and pursue civil forfeiture actions against any individual or entity that violates the law by receiving funding from the Iranian regime.’ It ends by urging ‘the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and Treasury to make public all available information, without compromising sources and methods, regarding Iran’s funding of these pro-Hamas organizations so that the American people can see who these groups truly are.’”
Klippenstein notes that the letter demands a list of individuals and organizations that have received direct or indirect support from Iran or any of its “affiliates”, copies of banking information on “anti-Israel groups” believed to have received sanctioned funding, and information regarding what “severe monetary penalties” will be imposed on those found to be in violation.
The US empire has been doing everything it can to restrict the flow of inconvenient information as public opposition to its criminality swells at home and abroad. Propaganda, censorship, the war on the press, banning TikTok, consolidating the collaboration of Silicon Valley with US government agencies, police crackdowns on campus demonstrators, and quashing political dissent are all outward manifestations of the agenda to manipulate the way the public thinks about what’s happening in the world.
The leaders of the US-centralized empire understand that real power lies in the ability to control not just what happens in the world but what people think about what happens, because doing so allows them to act however they want to act without the risk of revolution. Our task as ordinary members of the public is to weaken their control of the dominant narratives in our civilization, and wake the public up to the truth of what’s really happening under the rule of this tyrannical power structure.
Saker Francophone Note
These are two more examples of the crackdown on dissent, but there were others this week:
“The U.S. government has placed former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard on a special air traffic watch list, according to a whistleblower group of Air Marshals.
Gabbard served in Congress for eight years (2013-2021) and ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, but left the party in 2022 over ideological differences. She is also a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve.
To the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), however, Gabbard appears to pose a security risk. Last month, she was placed on the “Quiet Skies” program and monitored wherever she flies, according to the Air Marshal National Council (AMNC).”

“The pro-Israel lobby group AIPAC is pouring a lot of money into its effort to take down a second member of the Democratic progressive “Squad,” Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) — and the fight is predictably getting bitter.
She would be the second member of the squad to lose to a well-funded opponent backed by pro-Israel groups, after Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.).
Bush has become a target this cycle because of her outspoken criticism of Israel, with multiple federal investigations into her campaign finances creating an opening for a credible primary challenge.”
She ultimately lost that primary, leaving the field open to a pro-Israel Democrat.

Viktor Suvorov, author of The Chief Culprit – Stalin’s Grand Design To Start World War 2, has also written Marshal Zhukov – A Career Built on Corpses. According to this author the tactics of Soviet general Georgi Zhukov caused millions of casualties for the Red Army. He also exaggerated his wartime experiences, claimed the victories of other generals and was fond of looting. Would you say this was an example of an “egoic mind” as stated by Eckhardt Tolle ?

A few days ago I was cited for Hate Speech for a comment I made on You Tube. My comment was deleted and I was forbidden to comment again on You Tube for one day.
Here is what led to this:
A man on You Tube said that Israel. He mentioned the attack on the USS Liberty, the 9-11 event, and a number of other things.
I commented that he forgot to mention that the Jews were effectively burning our books, and to illustrate my claim I said that English veterinarian Arnold Leese wrote a book about Jewish ritual murder that has recently become virtually unavailable, and Eugen Duhring’s 19th century book about the differences between Jews and ourselves, including a different morality, has also become virtually unavailable.
I said it was wrong that Jews control the publishing industry because the principle of free speech is not part of their ancient culture, nor is individualism of any kind.
This statement was cited as “hate speech.”
Accusatory inversion — the haters go on the offensive against the hated!
Jews think if they keep bringing up Nazis and the Holocaust from 80 years ago that they can get their own way and do whatever they want. They don’t understand that most people don’t give a shit anymore about that.

The only country that can free us from Zionism is China.

If a heap of the world’s countries ally and reject America, then hopefully they can have an impact.
Yes. China (“Hua” in their language) is already a superpower and will just keep on growing. As Douglas MacGregor says, long-term, the most important factor is human capital — the size and teh quality of the population.
However, we as Aryans do not have to like everything about China to grasp that it has the same mortal enemy as we do.
