The Termination of Christian Celebration

Paul Craig Roberts

I remember when Easter was a major religious holiday. Today it is “Transgender Day of Visibility.” President Biden told us that “Today” this Easter Sunday, “we send a message to all transgender Americans You are America, and my entire administration and I have your back.”

https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/biden-proclaims-this-easter-sunday-as-transgender-day-of-visibility-sparking-backlash-5618641?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-03-30-2&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-03-30-2&utm_medium=email&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAceE5JjMFys3H%2BbdAvWpUcQzPZ0WlGLZbDFlFfmdQNQ%3D%3D

The Resurrection of Christ has been replaced with a celebration of sexual perversion that includes “all LGBTQI+ Americans,” declared President Biden.

Easter moves about on the calendar between March and April. This year Easter is March 31. Biden might have meant that our celebration of sexual perversion day is henceforth on March 31, or he may think that Easter is always on March 31. Regardless, it wasn’t very unifying to identify Easter Sunday in 2024 with the celebration of LGBT etc.

Easter, like Christmas, has been secularized by agnostic gentiles and Jews. Christmas is Santa Claus bringing children gifts, and Easter is when a rabbit brings them baskets of candy. The destruction of the meaning of the two major Christian holidays seems to be complete.

The consequence of the successful coup against Christianity is that today the United States is a combination of Sodom and Gomorrah and a Tower of Babel. It will require a lot more than Donald Trump to resurrect the United States of America.

The New York City Council No Longer Differentiates Between Illegal Aliens and US Citizens

Paul Craig Roberts

The New York City Council is begging the New York state Supreme Court to permit the council to ignore the New York state constitution that only permits citizens to vote.

The city council says that allowing illegal immigrants to vote can only strengthen democracy “by increasing civic engagement.”

Think about this for a moment. For the NY City Council, the only difference between an American citizen and an illegal alien is that the alien is discriminated against by not being allowed to vote.

It was obvious from the beginning that this is what happens when a country allows immigrant-invaders to settle among the legal population. The illegals become part of the population and, thus, denying them the vote is discrimination.

It was totally obvious from the beginning that accepting illegal entry would create an untenable situation: a population partly illegal and party legal. As it has proved impossible to prevent entry of multi-millions of immigrant-invaders and impossible to remove them, before long the illegal population in America will exceed in size the actual citizens of the country.

It is curious that the US, whose government is so anxious to go to war over the borders of foreign countries has no concern for its own borders.

So what is the purpose of US national defense? Is it only to protect Ukraine’s border and Israel’s border, but never America’s border? That seems to be the case.

It is extraordinary that if you ask this sensible question you are branded a racist. In the United States it is now racist to defend the US border. And of course, the Democrats do not defend the border which is so porous that it doesn’t exist.

The federal government, the government of America, is using the judicial system to prevent Texas from defending its and America’s border.

The obvious question is: why does the federal government represent immigrant invaders instead of American citizens, and why do federal courts come down on the side of eliminating any difference between an American citizen and an illegal invader?

Why are long-established websites such as vDare.com being suppressed by government authorities simply for pointing out what is at stake?

Something is seriously wrong with the mentality of the American people who clearly are incapable of recognizing that their country is being stolen from them to the point that many offer to sponsor immigrant-invaders.

Biden is the pot calling the kettle black

Biden calls Putin ‘a butcher’

https://www.rt.com/news/594985-biden-calls-putin-butcher/

Biden is supplying the weapons and military and diplomatic protection for Israel to complete Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people and theft of their entire country, and the White House Fool , a partner in Genocide, calls Putin a butcher.

Don’t give your money to politicians. I realize that Trump is our only choice, but even if Trump or Robert Kennedy were elected, both are firmly in Israel’s pocket and little would change. How could Trump build a wall when the principal NGO recruiting and financing immigrant-invaders is a Jewish one?

Give your money to those who are truly fighting for us, such as Freedom Watch:

Zach Rehl is an honorably discharged Marine with a 100% disability rating from the VA.

As you read this email, he’s serving 15 years in federal prison for crimes he didn’t commit on January 6. He was held without bail for over two years before that in the infamous D.C. Gulag.

Zach was railroaded by U.S. District Court Judge Tim Kelly.

(If you’ve read my newest book, It Takes A Counter Revolution: Wake Up America!, you know Judge Kelly is one of the very worst D.C. judges I talk about there.)

During Zach’s show trial, Judge Kelly even had the gall to claim:

“There Is No Evidence of Government Misconduct, Let Alone Misconduct Warranting Dismissal, a Mistrial, or Other Sanctions…”

Nothing could be further from the truth!

Zach’s trial, like the trials of all other January 6 Peaceful Protesters, make a mockery of the Bill of Rights and the rule of law.

Before he was sentenced, Zach wrote this to his wife, Amanda:

They are jailing innocent people on bogus and trumped-up charges because those people simply supported the sitting president at the time; which is absolutely insane. If you think it can’t happen to you, look at me, because if it can happen to me, trust me, it can happen to you.

Let me tell you, that’s a warning for you and me, our family and friends … for all Americans who cherish our rights and freedoms.

But there’s something you can do about it.

I’ve filed crucial lawsuits to FREE January 6 peaceful protesters. Including a critical new lawsuit that PROVES the FBI and other agencies carried out ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE on January 6 patriots. That means their criminal convictions can be THROWN OUT. And their criminal trials MUST STOP.

I’m Larry Klayman, founder and general counsel for Freedom Watch.

I’m a former federal prosecutor and trial lawyer who’s fought for the American people for 41 years.

You’ve seen me on CNN, Fox News, and other cable news outlets.

I’m the only lawyer in American history to have a court rule that a sitting President had committed a crime. I guarantee Bill Clinton still remembers me!

And I successfully represented the victims of other Clinton scandals, like Filegate, Travelgate, IRS Gate, Chinagate, and many others.

I know what it takes to take on federal agencies, politicians, even presidents, and win. And with this critically important case, I can PROVE IN COURT that Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, their departments and agencies at the U.S. Department of Justice ordered and carried out ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE OF LAW-ABIDING AMERICAN CITIZENS!

And I’m taking other hard-hitting legal actions to protect our fellow Americans and other endangered rights and liberties.

Patriot, PLEASE help me fully fund these critical fights with your very best gift of $25, $50, $100, $250, or more immediately.

You see, very few lawyers are fighting for January 6 peaceful protesters. Some of them have even folded under the intense pressure, and pushed their clients to plead guilty to crimes they didn’t commit.

But I will FIGHT BACK peacefully and legally, with your vital support.

I beg you to help me defend these abused Americans with your crucial gift of $25, $50, $100, $250, or more right now.

Thank you!

In Justice,

Here is Gilbert Doctorow’s follow-up to his interview about which I reported yesterday. https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2024/03/27/washington-crossed-a-fatal-red-line-with-the-crocus-attack/

Doctorow is a careful analyst who does not overstate the seriousness of situations. The Crocus attack could be a turning point in Putin’s attitude toward the US. Putin has been low-key in Russia’s response to Washington’s provocations so as not to inflame the situation. Putin’s policy has been to wait for the West to come to its senses and to accept reality. I have emphasized that this is a mistake as Putin’s toleration of provocations results in more provocations of increasing severity. With 319 dead and wounded Russian civilian casualties in a suburb of Moscow, it appears that the provocations have crossed a red line. The head of the Federal Security Service was given a green light to identify to the Russian media Washington as the suspect. As Putin has publicly declared that all responsible will be punished, I agree that Doctorow’s characterization of the situation is akin to the Cuban Missile Crisis.

It is possible that Putin will rethink the situation and use the Crocus attack to meet political and media demands that this time he do something. He can limit the blame to Ukraine and use the attack to use the level of force he should have used two years ago to level Ukraine and end the conflict.

If Putin again convinces himself, or is convinced by pro-Western factions in Russia, if any still exist, that eventually the West will come to its senses, and fails again to act, the provocations will continue to worsen. Indeed, I would say that one more of the magnitude of Crocus would light the fuse of World War III.

Here is Doctorow’s report:

Yesterday’s remarkable statements to journalists by Alexander Bortnikov, director of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB)

Gilbert Doctorow March 27, 2024

https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2024/03/27/yesterdays-remarkable-statements-to-journalists-by-alexander-bortnikov-director-of-russias-federal-security-service-fsb/

To the uninitiated, I explain first that the FSB is the successor organization to the Soviet Union’s well-known and much feared KGB. However, the FSB today might be better compared with the FBI in the United States. It deals with domestic criminality of all kinds and with threats to Russian civilians such as terrorism. The agency and its head are rarely in the news.

In this respect, the FSB is less visible both at home and abroad than the Foreign Intelligence Service headed by Sergei Naryshkin, a state figure who spent five years of this millennium as chairman of the State Duma, Russia’s lower house of the legislature, and also three years as head of the Presidential Administration. In both positions Naryshkin was very often seen on television performing his duties.

By contrast, Bortnikov spent the past 15 years in his FSB offices out of sight. However, the spectacular attack on the Crocus City Hall concert venue has propelled him to center stage and yesterday he met with the Russian state television journalist Pavel Zarubin for an interview and then allowed himself to be questioned further by a gaggle of other journalists on his way out along a corridor. This spontaneous Q&A was later broadcast on the television news. What Bortnikov had to say was extraordinary and bears directly on whether you and I should now be looking for bomb shelters. Regrettably you will not find any of it in the lead stories of today’s mainstream media. The Financial Times, for example, features an account of Xi’s meeting with CEOs of American businesses to mend ties: interesting, but not very relevant if we are at the cusp of WWIII.

Bortnikov is by definition a member of Vladimir Putin’s inner circle of advisors. He, Putin and Naryshkin are all roughly the same age. At 72, Bortnikov is just several years older.

I was struck in particular by his poise and prudent, carefully weighed choice of words while setting out where the investigation is heading with transparency and a ‘let the chips fall where they may’ unaffected demeanor.

The journalists were all probing the question of who stood behind the terror attack. Bortnikov told them…and us: standing behind the terror act committed by Islamist extremists are the United States, Great Britain and Ukraine.

Bortnikov said that the preliminary findings indicate that the four perpetrators of the slaughter were headed by car to the border with Ukraine where they were awaited on the other side. He very calmly explained that the involvement of foreign powers is being clarified and that he will say nothing out of pure emotion now but will wait for the facts to be solidly collected before being presented.

Nonetheless, it was entirely newsworthy that he named the United States, Great Britain and Ukraine as the likely puppet masters of the terror act. Let us remember that following the bombing of the Nord Stream pipelines, the most significant attack on critical civilian infrastructure globally in the last 50 years, Russian officials did not point the finger directly at any country. There was innuendo but no direct accusations such as we heard from Bortnikov yesterday.

Meanwhile, quite apart from Mr. Bortnikov’s chat with journalists, a lot of new elements to the terror attack at Crocus City Hall were posted yesterday on the Russian state television news and analysis program Sixty Minutes. In particular, we learned that in the last days of February and first couple of days of March two of the four attackers were in Istanbul. The departure and arrival of one at a Moscow airport was recorded on video. We were told which hotels they stayed in, and the selfies and other photos taken by one in Istanbul were put up on the screen. It is still not clear with whom they met in Turkey. However, the timing itself is very important, because the point was made that they returned to Moscow to carry out a terror attack on 8 March, International Women’s Day, a sacred date on the Russian calendar. Had they done so on that day, the effect would have been catastrophic for the presidential elections in Russia one week later.

However, per Sixty Minutes, it was determined that Russian state security on 8 March was too tight for the terrorist mission to succeed and the United States decided to pull the plug on that operation. Note that this is approximately the time when Victoria Nuland tendered her resignation at the State Department (5 March). The possible causal link here surely deserves attention by my peers in the U.S. ‘dissident’ community.

In any case, the scenario which was explored later in the day on the Evening with Vladimir Solovyov talk show is that the Ukrainians decided to proceed with the terror attack a week after the Russian presidential elections, when it lost most of its rationale. They did so over the objections of Washington.

From time to time, readers ask why I pay attention to talk shows like Vladimir Solovyov’s. These skeptics tend to ignore that Solovyov invites not just the usual irresponsible academics and journalists who can amuse the public but also some very serious statesmen who are close to the center of power in Russia and exert influence on the conduct of foreign and domestic policy, including in particular committee chairmen and other key personalities from the State Duma.

So it was last night when we heard from a member of the Committee on Relations with the Commonwealth of Independent States (Former Soviet Union). With reference to the never ending terror attacks on civilians in the Russian border region of Belgorod coming from nearby Kharkiv (Ukraine), he said it is time to raze Kharkov to the ground: issue a warning to the population to get in their cars and head West, then blow it all to bits. Kharkiv is, by the way, Ukraine’s second most populous city after Kiev.

In general, the mood of panelists and of the host Solovyov himself is now changing in a cardinal manner: Ukraine is seen as an enemy state and the sooner it is finished off the better. There was talk last night on the need for missile strikes to flatten the presidential palace in Kiev along with all military and other decision making government centers in the capital.

As we have observed repeatedly over the past two years. President Putin has been a voice for moderation and restraint, resisting actions that might precipitate WWIII. That is clearly coming to an end when his own FSB director names the United States and the UK as planners of the biggest terror attack in Russia in 20 years.

Washington Crossed a Fatal Red Line with the Crocus Attack

Paul Craig Roberts

Gilbert Doctorow Now Confirms with his own analysis my prediction that Putin’s toleration of provocations is spinning the Ukraine conflict out of control.

Doctorow is a careful analyst never overstating a situation. In this interview he says that the FSB statement implicating the US and UK governments in the Crocus attack had to have been approved by Putin and that implicating the US and UK in the Crocus attack has brought us to the level of danger of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Doctorow reports that Russian television has undergone a massive change following the Crocus attack. Commentators are unwilling to accept any longer Putin’s nonresponse to attacks on Russians. Television talk is suddenly very violent with talk of flattening Kharkiv and Kiev and bringing a quick end to the conflict that has been permitted to endure for far too long.

It seems that a fatal red line has been crossed.

The Most Astounding Feature of the Assange Case

Paul Craig Roberts

The most extraordinary thing about Julian Assange is that he is being treated as if he were an American citizen. “Treason” was the original cry, now converted to “espionage.”

There was no espionage. Wikileaks published, and made available to the New York Times, The Guardian, and other media organizations leaked information. The media organizations published the information, just as did Wikileaks, but they are not charged. Neither is Wikileaks charged. Only Julian Assange is charged.

Nothing is any different from Ellsberg releasing the Pentagon Papers to the New York Times. The US government wanted to prosecute both, but was prevented by the First Amendment and long-accepted duty of media organizations to hold government accountable. The stark deterioration in the protective power of the First Amendment and journalistic freedom since 1971 demonstrates the rise in tyranny. Tyranny is what Julian Assange is experiencing, not a legitimate prosecution.

Let’s carefully examine the issue of “espionage.” Espionage is a function of every embassy everywhere in the world. The purpose of embassies is not simply to represent a country’s commercial and political interests. It is also to collect information, the more sensitive the better. When embassy personnel are caught engaging in espionage, the personnel are required to leave the country. They are not prosecuted.

It is well known that US embassies contain CIA agents posing as diplomats. Under the protocol governing the Assange case, Russia, China, any number of countries could arrest members of US embassies and put them on trial. Indeed, many countries could do this to one another. What prevents it is not merely good judgment, but the fact that foreign citizens are not subject to the laws of other countries. Only the US, which imagines itself as some kind of international unipower, asserts the worldwide primacy of its laws. This is an absurd claim and has no legal basis.

The orchestrated, in fact legally incorrect, case against Assange is based on nothing but Washington’s demand for revenge. Here is what Assange is guilty of: He released leaked information that showed conclusively that the United States government is a liar, a deceiver of its allies, and a war criminal. The purpose of the case against Assange is to pay him back and to intimidate all journalists from ever again publishing information unfavorable to the US government.

In other words, the purpose of the Assange case is to end forever the ability of media to hold government accountable. The Assange case is the fundamental foundation for tyranny. Once it is in place, tyranny is unleashed.

That so many dumbshit “patriots” support “getting Assange” indicates complete stupidity. “Getting Assange” means getting themselves, and they are too stupid to see it.

This is how freedom is murdered.

The Biden administration lost track of 85,000 illegal alien children

It appears that the influence child prostitution rings have in the Democrat Party is part of the reasons the US border cannot be closed.

New Federal Contract Allows Transport of Illegal Alien Children

The U.S. government agreed to a contract in February that would allow unaccompanied alien children to be transported from shelters run by the Office of Refugee Resettlement to sponsors in America. But, according to research conducted by the Center for Immigration Studies, the contract fails to provide guidelines for security and safety. Amelia McKenzie has the details. 
     
It was reported in 2023 that the Biden administration lost track of 85,000 illegal alien children.
    
The CIS research finds the new contract fails to provide thorough instructions on how to correctly identify sponsors taking the children or how the ORR escorts could assess the safety of the situation in which the children are placed.”
