Conclusion

This exhaustive list serves as a stark reminder of the importance of holding individuals in positions of power accountable for their actions. Allegations of corruption, censorship, and the misuse of authority strike at the heart of public trust and the foundations of democracy. While these cases highlight potential failings within both the government and private sectors, they also underscore the urgent need for transparency, impartial enforcement of the law, and a renewed commitment to justice. Addressing these issues is not only a matter of legality but also of restoring confidence in the institutions that are meant to serve the American people. The gravity of these allegations demands thorough investigation and, if proven, appropriate legal consequences to uphold the integrity of the nation.

GSP podcast

This is a very interesting exchange between George St-Pierre and a “PhD sex therapist”.

It illustrates a lot of the psychological issues we are witnessing today.

GSP asks (paraphrasing slightly): Does engaging in gay sex make you gay?

PhD: Not necessarily, it depends on how you “identify”.

This highlights the cultural schizophrenia of our time - people don’t want to be defined by what they actually do. They want to be defined by how they perceive themselves.

“I’m not what I do, rather what I identify as”.

With very few exceptions, willingly engaging in gay sex makes you gay. Definitionally.

Much like stealing makes you a thief.

Much like giving to the poor makes you charitable.

It’s only when people are coerced to do things that one can argue it doesn’t define who they are.

But this highlights the fact that people want to live with a delusion of identity - that they are not what they are or do, they are how they identify.

It really allows for any form of conduct.

Breaking from Steve Baker

He just published this video showing a person he has identified as Brian Cole Jr. walking elsewhere as the Jan 6 pipe bomber placed the pipes.

This will not be enough to force the Former Agents Group to admit they were wrong.

And I can anticipate others stubbornly saying these videos are inconclusive.

For most of the video, I would agree.

But the three key identifiers:

1) The shoes and “shondal” (shoe sandal).

2) Pulling down the mask to spit. That actually looks like Brian.

3) The face mask.

Most important, this will now allow people to pull higher quality video from the various locations because undoubtedly higher quality CCTV footage exists.

Which is probably why Brian was never charged after initially investigated in 2021.

Incredible work.

IV. CLOSING ARGUMENT: Classes in the Constitution, Reminders from our Founding Fathers on Foreign Entanglements
 
Two founding documents of the founding generation’s approach to foreign entanglments consist of President Washington’s Farewell Address and John Quincy Adams July 4th speech to the House of Representatives in 1821. 
 
Cousin Adams address “on foreign policy” summarized America’s approach to foreign conflicts, by starting with America’s founding rejection of the politics of imperial empire, denouncing Britian’s “portentious system of despotism” with “oppressions of power” governed bby an appetite for “conquest” against the “claims of right” of self-governance. In such an imperial worldview “man had no rights”, where “neither the body nore the soul of the individual was his own” subjecting the people to the “impentarable gloom of this intellectual darkness, and the deep degradation of this servitude” which defined the “British nation” under its imperial mask. These imperial ambitions inflected “the delusions of all Europe” degrading the societies occupied by an intellectually and morally robust people. It was in rejection of these very ideas of empire and presumptions of imperial rule that guided the American revolution. 
 
This animating spirit requires America “respect the indpendence of other nations”, must “abstain from interference in the concerns of others, even when the conflict has been for principes to which America clings.” America “well knows that by enlisting under other banners than her own, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrictation, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which the assume the colors and usrup the standard of freedom” changing her “from liberty to force” creating the hated British “Imperial Diadem, flashing in falkse and tarnished lustre the murky radiance of dominion and power” to become the “distatress of the world” and no longer “the ruler of her own Revolutartionary spirit.” 
 
America is “the champion and vindicator only of her own”, a perfect articulation of America First.  That is why America “does not go aborad searching for monsters to destroy.” America’s “glory is not dominion, but liberty.” 
 
Washington warned in his founding Farewell Address: “the nation which indulges towards another an habitual hatred or an habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to it animosity or to its affection.” Washington discouraged any political connections beyond economic trade with nations of the world due to the likely subsuming of a foreign nation’s cause as our own, their antipathies or adversaries as our own, substituting a foreign nation for our own in decision making. Thus the “true policy” of our founders was “to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world.” 
 
These principles — avoiding the trap of imperial logic, respecting each nation’s own sovereign path, and escaping the entanglements of foreign conflicts — animated the founders. Only when we abandon these precepts and principles do we lose our way. The first promoters of America First were our founders themselves.
