Forming a Parallel Society

With the onset of Biden's unconstitutional Jab Mandate, Push is getting very close to Shove. Short of the Cold Civil War breaking out into a Hot one, a Parallel Society, with a Parallel educational, entertainment and internet systems, as well as a Parallel economy is being created.

Brian Torba, Founder of GAB, has this to say:
What does a parallel society look like?
It looks like homeschooling your kids, turning off the television, deleting your Facebook account, reading your Bible, spending more time with your kids, moving to a better area near people who share your values, getting involved in local instead of national politics, finding a church that isn’t woke, supporting businesses who support your values, consuming content from people who share your values, and radically removing each and every last corrosive system of control and fear of the globohomo society from your life.
It won’t be easy, nothing worthwhile is, but it can and is being done by so many people in your exact position.
Let me ask you something: what is your freedom worth to you?
To me it is worth everything.
The freedom to worship in my church without permission from the State. The freedom to work without being forced to inject myself with a substance that I do not want in my body. The freedom to have a political opinion on the internet without being banned from banks and social networks. The freedom for my children to learn without having a disgusting and unhealthy dirty mask over their faces for eight hours a day and being told they are evil for their skin color.
Are these freedoms worth making an effort to preserve and protect? Absolutely. If they are to you, you better start acting like it because no one is coming to save you. Not politicians. Not Presidents. Only Jesus Christ saves and God helps those who help themselves.
Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor.
-- Proverbs 12:24
We are faced with a choice as we undergo one of the most radical power plays in human history by the global elite. We can shut up, put on the mask, take the 4+ (and counting) vaccines, and be treated like cattle, or we can peacefully take action by exiting their entire system and forging our own path forward in a parallel economy, a parallel internet, and a parallel society.

Somewhat limiting the power of future US presidents

Schiff and Pelosi push bill to limit presidential power with laundry list of Trump complaints
Emily Brooks
Tue, September 21, 2021, 1:21 PM
House Democrats introduced legislation on Tuesday that aims to curb presidential powers by addressing a laundry list of issues and complaints that came up during former President Donald Trump’s norm-shattering presidency.
“Donald Trump made this legislation a necessity, but this is bigger than about any one particular president,” said California Rep. Adam Schiff, the lead sponsor of the Protecting Our Democracy Act. “The former president trampled many of our sacred norms and institutions, violating laws and breaking long-standing precedent with shocking ease.”
Sweeping reforms in the bill adjust requirements and restrictions regarding compliance with congressional subpoenas and pardons, the independence of inspectors general, and transitions in presidential administrations, among other measures.
In one sense, the bill marks an acknowledgment by the House that presidential power has expanded too much over the last several decades.
There's been a slow movement, but it picked up steam” under Trump, said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. “Our founders in their wisdom to have checks and balances and separation of power, and they had guardrails for the president. And one of them was the Congress of the United States.”
Almost all of the bill’s many provisions have some connection to a scandal or frustration that surfaced during Trump’s presidency.
The bill would make the president and vice president eligible to be criminally charged, taking aim at long-standing Department of Justice policy stating that the president cannot be indicted while in office. That made impeachment the only remedy to punish Trump after he was accused of obstructing special counsel Robert Mueller’s inquiry into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Presidential and vice presidential candidates would be required to release 10 years of personal tax returns under the bill, something Trump never did.
It would also prohibit presidential “self-pardons” — a topic that Trump reportedly explored. And in aiming to curb pardons being used as a form of bribery, it would define a pardon as a “thing of value.” The Department of Justice would also be required to provide Congress with materials relating to presidential pardons of relatives or face charges of contempt of Congress or obstruction of Congress.
And in response to the Trump administration stonewalling President Joe Biden’s transition team as the former president fought to overturn the election, the bill would require the administrator of General Services to treat each eligible presidential candidate as a winner, if no winner can be ascertained five days after the general election, until an ascertainment is made or a winner is certified by Congress.

Perhaps this qualifies as a boar...ing story
I just got done cleaning out the gutters below the roof of my house and I come inside and I see a story about the entertainer & Grammy award singer, Shakira. She claims to have been walking in a park in Barcelona with her son and they were attacked by a pack of wild boar. They stole her purse including her cell phone. Supposedly, the pigs took off for the woods and she confronted them and they dropped the purse and ran into the woods.
I suppose it could happen. I don't know if the purse is silk or not, but I have heard that you can't turn a pig into a silk purse.
Today from The Daily Beast;
Given Shakira's looks, I doubt it was the first time she's been approached , nor the last time she'll be approached , by some pigs.

Hey, at least I tried to..... Shakira it up.

Shakira Says Her Handbag Was Stolen by ‘Gang’ of Wild Boars in Barcelona
Jamie Ross
Thu, September 30, 2021, 6:35 AM
Shakira has accused a “gang” of wild boars of stealing her handbag and her phone while she was casually strolling through a Barcelona park.
The pop star shared the extraordinary anecdote on her Instagram stories on Wednesday, explaining that she was walking with her son, Milan, when the pack of angry hogs confronted them and snatched her bag away. The 44-year-old held aloft the destroyed handbag after proudly explaining to her fans how she managed to wrestle it back from the pigs.
“Look at how two wild boars which attacked me in the park have left my bag,” the singer said, displaying the muddy bag. “They were taking my bag to the woods with my phone inside. They’ve destroyed everything.”
Shakira left out key details of incident—she didn’t say where the alleged attack took place, or when she was confronted by the hogs. However, she did tell her fans that she managed to retrieve her ruined bag after standing up to the pair of porcine thieves. “In the end they left the bag because I confronted them,” Shakira said, with a certain amount of pride.
Turing to her 8-year-old son, Milan, a key witness to the incident, Shakira ordered: “Say how your mummy stood up to the wild boar.”
Residents in Barcelona—where Shakira lives with her soccer star partner Gerard Piqué—have been complaining about badly behaved boars for years. According to one shocking report from The Guardian, police logged 1,187 phone calls about boar trouble in 2016 alone, with complaints ranging from boars eating trash to pushing around panicked tourists.
Neither Shakira nor Milan appear to have been injured in the incident. There is no update on the condition of the pigs.

Mustang MACH-E...
A few weeks ago I saw an SUV on the road that I didn't recognize. It had a Ford Mustang emblem on the back and on the center badge for the rims.
Taking a closer look, there wasn't a tailpipe on this car!
Woah... electric.
Yes, it's the 2021 Ford Mustang MACH-E all electric car.
There are basically 2 camps about electric cars... Those who believe they suck, or those who believe they're great.
Priced over $40,000 I know it's not on my list of cars to buy. But it does support some awesome eye-candy appeal.

Project Veritas: how fake news prize went to the group beloved and financed by Trump
In response to: James O’Keefe’s organisation specialising in media stings received donations from Trump’s foundation but was caught red-handed peddling a false story
In response to: At the unusually late hour of 9.04am on Monday morning, Donald Trump marked his return to Washington after Thanksgiving by announcing a big new idea. There should be a contest, he tweeted, to determine which media outlet should be awarded the “fake news trophy” for being “most dishonest, corrupt and/or distorted in its political coverage”.

For Donald Trump Inauguration<br>WASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 20: Police and demonstrators clash in downtown Washington after a limo was set on fire following the inauguration of President Donald Trump on January 20, 2017 in Washington, DC.

US government uses Project Veritas video in trial of anti-Trump protesters
Just hours later, the first winner of the president’s new medal emerged, though the trophy holder was not quite as he had expected. Instead of CNN or one of the TV networks that Trump frequently assails, the award for scurrilous and deceitful practice went to someone much closer to home.
On Monday afternoon, Project Veritas, the discredited rightwing attack organization run by James O’Keefe that specializes in sting operations against liberal groups and the established media, was itself thoroughly exposed. The Washington Post turned the spotlight that O’Keefe had tried to put on the newspaper back on him by disclosing a plot to dupe its reporters into publishing an entirely false story.
The fake account was peddled by a woman named Jaime Phillips who claimed to have had an abortion when she was 15 after s*xual encounters with the Republican senatorial candidate in Alabama, Roy Moore. Post reporters did their due diligence, grew suspicious of her narrative, and later watched her walking into the Project Veritas offices in New York.
They also discovered a GoFundMe page under the name of Jaime Phillips in which she said she had accepted a job in New York “to work in the conservative media movement to combat the lies and deceit of the liberal MSM”. When these matters were put to O’Keefe in a filmed encounter, he refused to answer questions about the apparent attempt to plant a fake story on the Post presumably intended to undermine the paper’s earlier exposé of Moore’s alleged molestation of underage girls as young as 14.
On 13 May 2015, a month before Trump launched his presidential campaign, his charitable foundation donated $10,000 to Project Veritas. This week ThinkProgress spotted that the foundation’s tax disclosure form for 2015 records a second payment of the same amount to the conservative group.
By then O’Keefe had already acquired a criminal record – he was convicted in 2010 of entering federal property under false pretences. He had been attempting to sting the then Democratic senator from Louisiana, Mary Landrieu, but for his pains was rewarded with three years’ probation and a $1,500 fine.
The underhand tactics that Project Veritas adopted in its notorious takedown of the progressive network Acorn and that it later applied to media organisations has attracted growing condemnation from unexpected quarters. In 2011 Blaze, the rightwing outlet founded by Glenn Beck, investigated O’Keefe’s treatment of National Public Radio and concluded that the editing of a secretly filmed video seemed “designed to intentionally lie or mislead about the material being presented”.

Marine officer who blasted leaders over Afghanistan withdrawal now in the brig
Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller, the Marine officer whose meteoric rise to internet fandom began with a video criticizing military leadership over Afghanistan, is currently in the brig, his father told Task & Purpose.
“All our son did is ask the questions that everybody was asking themselves, but they were too scared to speak out loud,” said Stu Scheller Sr. “He was asking for accountability. In fact, I think he even asked for an apology that we made mistakes, but they couldn’t do that, which is mind-blowing.”
He said that his son is expected to appear before a military hearing on Thursday.
“They had a gag order on him and asked him not to speak,” the senior Scheller said. “He did, and they incarcerated him. They don’t know what to do with him.”
After this story was first published, the Marine Corps issued a statement confirming that Scheller has been sent to the brig.
“Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller Jr. is currently in pre-trial confinement in the Regional Brig for Marine Corps Installations East aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune pending an Article 32 preliminary hearing,” said Capt. Sam Stephenson, a spokesman for Training and Education Command. “The time, date, and location of the proceedings have not been determined. Lt. Col. Scheller will be afforded all due process.”
Scheller first gained notoriety on Aug. 26, when he posted a video on Facebook and Linkedin criticizing the handling of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. In the video, Scheller accused senior military leaders of shirking their responsibilities, and questioned some of the command decisions that were made leading up to, and during, the final moments of America’s longest war.
“People are upset because their senior leaders let them down, and none of them are raising their hands and accepting accountability or saying, ‘We messed this up,’” Scheller said in the video.

2 Afghan refugees charged with sex crimes while at Fort McCoy
FORT MCCOY, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Two Afghan refugees have been charged with crimes in unrelated cases while at Fort McCoy in Wisconsin, officials say.
A federal grand jury in the West District of Wisconsin returned the following indictments on Wednesday, Sept. 22:
Bahrullah Noori, 20, is charged with attempting to engage in a s*xual act with a minor using force against that person, and with three counts of engaging in a s*xual act with a minor, with one count alleging the use of force. Officials say the indictment alleges that the victims had not attained the age of 16 years and were at least four years younger than Noori.
Mohammad Haroon Imaad, 32, is also charged with assaulting his spouse by strangling and suffocating her on Sept. 7, officials say.
Noori and Imaad were charged previously in complaints filed in U.S. District Court. The two made initial appearances in Madison on Sept. 16 and are being detained at the Dane County Jail. Officials say the two are scheduled for arraignment on Thursday, Sept. 23 at 9:30 a.m. and 10:15 a.m.
If convicted, Noori faces a mandatory minimum penalty of 30 years and a maximum of life in federal prison on the charges alleging use of force, and a maximum penalty of 15 years on the other two charges, according to officials.
Imaad faces a maximum penalty of 10 years.
Officials say investigations were done by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Fort McCoy Police Department.

Another Biden Botch - Drone strike kills 10 civilians including 7 children in Afghanistan
Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson said Friday that America’s botched drone strike that killed seven civilians and no terrorists was “a disaster” and not just a “nonsuccess.”
U.S. Central Command chief Gen. Kenneth McKenzie announced Friday that the U.S. drone strike in Kabul killed multiple civilians, including children, but not members of the ISIS-K terrorist group. ”Unfortunately, I have empathy for ,” Hanson told Fox News’ “The Story with Martha MacCallum.”
“But he didn’t clear it up. He said it wasn’t a success. It’s more than that. It was a disaster. We killed innocent people … That’s not a success. It’s something much worse,” Hanson continued, questioning McKenzie’s statement that the strike was not induced by Taliban-supplied information.
“We don’t know that; we’re not on the ground,” he said.
The author argued that America has returned to “the mentality of Vietnam,” where government officials are “not telling us the truth and they don’t feel upset about it.” Hanson said it is “an insult to the people who died” to call the drone strike “a nonsuccess,” “all of these bureaucratese terminologies” just to make “a disaster” appear “successful.
Hanson said the fact that Americans remain in Afghanistan will continue to provide the Taliban with “leverage … They know that we’re in a period of crisis and our government is not telling the truth and that’s tragic.”
The academic noted that the U.S. has “lost deterrence” in Afghanistan and around the world, from both a tactical and strategic viewpoint. “Unfortunately, I wish this was the end but I’m afraid it’s the beginning of something really bad.”
The Pentagon initially boasted that the drone strike killed at least one ISIS-K member with a vehicle carrying explosives. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley declared it to be a “righteous strike” on Sept. 1. However, reports soon contradicted the official line and suggested civilians had in fact been hit and killed.

“We don’t know that; we’re not on the ground,” he said.
The author argued that America has returned to “the mentality of Vietnam,” where government officials are “not telling us the truth and they don’t feel upset about it.” Hanson said it is “an insult to the people who died” to call the drone strike “a nonsuccess,” “all of these bureaucratese terminologies” just to make “a disaster” appear “successful.
Hanson said the fact that Americans remain in Afghanistan will continue to provide the Taliban with “leverage … They know that we’re in a period of crisis and our government is not telling the truth and that’s tragic.”
The academic noted that the U.S. has “lost deterrence” in Afghanistan and around the world, from both a tactical and strategic viewpoint. “Unfortunately, I wish this was the end but I’m afraid it’s the beginning of something really bad.”
The Pentagon initially boasted that the drone strike killed at least one ISIS-K member with a vehicle carrying explosives. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley declared it to be a “righteous strike” on Sept. 1. However, reports soon contradicted the official line and suggested civilians had in fact been hit and killed.

General Kellogg: Milley Must Resign Or Be Removed
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.
For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”
If reports that Gen. Mark Milley made secret calls to Communist China’s Gen. Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army are true, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff should resign or be removed, says retired Gen. Keith Kellogg.
“If what is in the Woodward book is true, then Mark Milley needs to resign or be removed from his position immediately,” the former acting National Security Adviser under President Trump said on Fox News’s “Brian Kilmeade Show.”
...
“I think what you’re heading for is what we saw decades ago in that book ‘Seven Days in May’ that they made into a movie with a chairman who tried to remove the sitting president and that’s what you got. I think he’s lost all credibility,” Kellogg said.
The Pentagon’s attempts to clean up the controversy surrounding Milley by claiming then-Defense Secretary Mark Esper requested the phone call almost makes things “worse,” Kellogg suggested.
“There are only two national command authorities: it’s the President and the Secretary of Defense. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs is not in that line. He should not be calling his counterpart or anybody else out there without informing the president of the United States on what he is doing. So they violated that. Even Esper violated that,” Kellogg said. “The one who should have picked up the phone was Esper if he wanted to do it and then he should have told the president, he should have actually asked the president beforehand and said this is what he was going to do. I mean, that just shows him, very candidly, some real incompetence on the part of Esper and Milley as well.”
If you'd followed the events during the Trump administration, his inner circle was lousy with Obama stay-behinds and saboteurs. If there was a flaw in Trump is that he trusted too much. He trusted Esper (whom he should have fired immediately), he trusted McMaster, Fauci, and so many others, who'd had their daggers out from Day One.
The takeaway lesson is: ALWAYS start with a clean slate, with completely new, vetted personnel.
Allowing treasonous stay-behinds is a recipe for failure.
