-Lurid Crime Tales-
Why Is the Man Suspected of Raping a 10-Year-Old and His 'Wife' Represented by Prestigious Law Firms?
[PJMEDIA] The suspect in the Ohio rape case, Gerson Fuentes, who is charged with raping a 10-year-old child whose story was used to push a pro-child sacrifice abortion narrative, has deeper pockets than one would expect for an illegal alien from Guatemala who reportedly worked at a coffee shop.
That’s the case where a ten year old Ohio girl who was six weeks and three days pregnant was taken across state lines to Indiana abortion doctor Caitlin Bernard for the procedure, which she subsequently falsely trumpeted as needing her intervention because of Ohio’s new abortion law triggered by the US Supreme Court of Roe v. Wade in June.
Eviction paperwork was filed by Sawmill Crossing, the company that owns the building where Fuentes and his reported "wife" Lourdes Gomez live with the victim and other children. Townhall’s Mia Cathell posted the court filing on Monday to Twitter.

PJ Media reached out to the counsel for Sawmill, who confirmed that the reason for the eviction is criminal activity based on the arrest of Fuentes for the rape of the child. Gomez’s counsel, Aneca Lasley, a partner at the prestigious Ice Miller law firm, worked out a deal so Gomez could voluntarily move out and be taken off the eviction. It is believed that she has moved out of the building on Dumont Lane, presumably with the children still in her care.

Franklin County has been unwilling to confirm if the children in Gomez and Fuentes’s care were removed by the state despite many attempts by PJ Media and other news agencies to confirm that the state followed the Ohio sex abuse protocols. The county claims "privacy" for the children and refuses to answer the basic question that would ease concerned citizens’ minds: Are the children no longer in the care of the people who oversaw the abuse? Gomez defended Fuentes to Telemundo news hounds, saying he was innocent. DNA from Fuentes matched the DNA of the aborted fetus.

According to Fuentes’s rental agreement, no children were listed on the paperwork, which is required by Sawmill Crossing to keep track of occupancy. A witness saw Gomez and Fuentes move in with two boys around the ages of 10 to 12 in December of 2021. There was no report of a female child between the ages of 8 or 9 with them at the time. One of the property employees, who wants to remain anonymous, said he never saw any female child with the couple who rented the apartment on Dumont Lane for $1264 per month, which is not subsidized.

-Land of the Free
The IRS to outman the Gestapo and Stasi
[American Thinker] Hitler's Gestapo, which terrorized German citizens during the Nazi reign of terror, numbered a mere 32,000 members. The Stasi, East Germany's answer to the Nazi criminal enterprise, had only 85,000 thugs in their employ. The Biden regime, not to be outdone by those previous criminal organizations, has called for an extra 87,000 new IRS employees to aid in enforcing its edicts. It was even asked of prospective new agents if they were willing to carry a firearm or use deadly force to aid in their efforts.

Has it really come to this? A visit or audit from the IRS has always caused a feeling of dread in the citizenry. Was I too aggressive with my deductions? Should I have written off that trip? Am I going to end up in jail? Now those fears are multiplied by the fear of bodily harm inflicted by government agents.

While it appears that only a small number of those agents, members of the "enforcement branch" of the agency, would ever be in possession of a firearm as part of their job, it remains a terrifying thought that our government will man an agency willing to scare the wits out of its citizens to enforce whatever it deems to need enforcing. Even scarier is the prospect of a citizen's political affiliation being the determining factor in whom the agency might flex its enlarged prosecutorial muscle against. Anyone who doubts that conservatives will bear the brunt of the agency's growing enforcement apparatus has not been paying attention.

In today's America, we live in a two-tiered justice and law enforcement system. No one in his right mind believes that all these extra agents are being hired to get after the Biden or Clinton families' ill gotten gains. John Kerry is not about to be investigated to ensure he hasn't overestimated his deductions for jet fuel used to fly him around the world in pursuit of the left's crazy green agenda. No, I believe that these extra agents will be used as weapons to make life miserable for those of us with the temerity to be part of what used to be called the loyal opposition but who are now seen as deplorable enemies of the state.

Weaponization of government institutions is what this regime does best, after all, with the exception of our military, who are supposed to have the weapons. For them, sensitivity training and Critical Race Theory education are the curriculum of the day, and sex-obscuring surgery is available even for those in the stockade.

It is more than a little sobering to realize that even if I never cheated on my taxes, this government seems more than willing to find a way to drain my retirement savings because I believe in making America great again. I fear that sleep will be difficult as I await the sounds of boots kicking in my door. Herman Goering would undoubtedly approve.

Government Corruption
'The FBI Raid On Melania's Closet Was Justified,' Says Merrick Garland
[BEE] WASHINGTON, D.C. — With many Americans up in arms over the unprecedented raid of former President Trump's residence in Mar-a-Lago by the FBI, Attorney General Garland released a statement to assure everyone the raid was completely justified. Eyewitnesses noted he looked unusually fetching in an elegant Dolce & Gabbana evening gown and a Dior sun hat.

"We wouldn't raid Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate or Melania's wardrobe unless it was absolutely, 100% necessary," said Garland. "I resent any accusation that this raid was influenced by partisan politics or my insatiable desire to wear pretty designer dresses." The Attorney General then did a little spin in his purple gown as the press gasped with delight.

FBI Director Christopher Wray echoed the statement as he strode up to the Hoover Building in a dazzling pair of diamond-encrusted Alexander McQueen stilettos. "The men and women of the FBI are paragons of unassailable integrity and impartiality, and any suggestion otherwise is murderous treason," he said. Several news outlets present also noted the delicious smell of Chanel No.5 in the air.

At publishing time, Trump had taken to Truth Social to announce that all his golf clubs were also missing.

#1  Sure it was, because the President would rather put classified documents in her underwear than in the Skiff. Do we really want to believe this? And the nuclear codes? They are no longer on paper. So exactly how did he get them from the football to the skiff? And after a few minutes they are worthless anyway. Does the FBI think we are that dumb? How about the documents showing that the agency was working in the FBI during the Russia scam? Now they have a vested interest in getting those I would think...

The Scalable World War Ahead
[Geo Political Futures] U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan begins a new era of confrontation between the U.S. and China and marks a new stage in the ongoing conflict over Eurasia, this unique landmass where world history takes place and world wars are fought. What distinguishes this episode from previous world wars is that this one is scalable — the existence of thermonuclear weapons greatly raises the stakes of escalation and demands each side to be circumspect before escalating. In a scalable clash, each side tries to force its interests through various domains of contemporary dependencies in a densely globalized world — a world that will be violently split open before our eyes.

Pelosi’s visit accelerates the process of sharp and violent deglobalization — the breaking, for geopolitical reasons, of all financial, trade, information, communication and human connections that resulted from Pax Americana over the past 30 years. It turns out that the great powers do not agree on the principles that define how the world operates and how they cooperate with each other. China, the U.S. and Russia believe the existing global order no longer serves their interests. Only Europe still wants everything to stay the same, naively thinking that the "old" ways will come back. Completely unprepared for the return of geopolitics, Europe is on course to become the subject of the game of the three aforementioned powers — a place of struggle and kinetic wars and not a main actor, with ambitions and strategic initiative.

The Shape of the War to Come

Dangerous times lie ahead. Conflict will be a constant in many domains: trade, technology, finance, raw materials, currency markets, data and internet, and infrastructure. There will be kidnappings and assassinations, information warfare, fighting for oceans and lands, and fighting to control communication nodes, even in outer space. Finally, there will be hot proxy wars, coups, revolutions and government collapses, and probably a direct clash between China and the U.S. in the Western Pacific, or a war in Europe involving some NATO countries and Russia.

The main focus of this global conflict, however, will be the manipulation of strategic flows to influence the opponent’s stability and social contract. Examples include banning the sale to China of Taiwan’s microprocessors necessary in a modern economy and, in response, China’s banning of exports of sand to Taiwan necessary for construction; or bans on capital investments in China and, in response, the expropriation of large U.S. companies with production in China.

In addition, there will be sanctions, blockades, embargoes on trade and raw materials, manipulation of energy transmission systems, attacks on infrastructure and military demonstrations intended to disrupt the enemy’s economy. A good example is the effective sea and air quarantine of Taiwan in the course of China’s sea-air exercises, or the unilateral ban on Russian flights over Lithuania or Poland, which may be broken one day if Moscow wants to contest Europe’s ability to limit where its planes fly.

Kinetic War

In this global struggle, a kinetic war between the U.S. and China in the Western Pacific becomes very likely, possibly sooner than later, given the irreconcilable structural differences of interest between the two powers. For a critical imbalance in the world system has already arisen that will be difficult, perhaps impossible, to correct in the foreseeable future without resorting to force, and such an escalation naturally leads to war. The situation around Taiwan in connection with Pelosi’s visit, and before that Russia’s ultimatum toward Ukraine, is clear proof of this.

Fortunately, the existence of thermonuclear weapons lowers the willingness of each side to enter into an uncontrolled conflict without reflection. It forces each side to be selective about what it seeks to obtain through the threat or use of violence, without stupidly starting a thermonuclear war. This makes the coming world war scalable, and this is what sets it apart from previous world wars.

Mar-a-Lago document search? Strzok 'fired from the FBI' or detailed from the Klingons ?
[Gateway] The brazen raid of President Trump’s home in Florida, Mar-a-Lago, likely has its roots in the Russia collusion story with a particular focus on Peter Strzok and his affiliation with the CIA.

We reported back in May 2020 that Peter Strzok was somehow connected to the CIA. General Michael Flynn’s attorney Sidney Powell even said so on Hannity’s show on FOX News at that time:

Sidney Powell was on Hannity last night on FOX News after the breaking news that her client, General Michael Flynn, had his case dismissed by the DOJ earlier in the day. Powell shared:

This was a deliberate, malevolent, concerted effort to destroy an honest man and thereby get to the President of the United States to destroy him. There’s no doubt about it whatsoever. I would encourage people to read the actual documents themselves. The governments own reports, the agents own notes, they’re all attached as exhibits to the government’s filing today and our filings in the last 10 days or so. It’s important for people to see it for themselves, the actual evidence in the government’s own handwriting and documents....

#1  Are documents concerning Strzok what the FBI was looking for at Mar-a-Lago? Was Strzok simply 'detailed' to the FBI all along. Do the origins of Crossfire Hurricane lead back to Brennan and the Klingons ?

Appears someone has been doing some investigating. This could become very interesting.

Stop Calling Them Democrats. They're Communists.
[American Thinker] It’s time to stop calling them Democrats.

This is no longer the party of FDR, JFK, or even Bill Clinton, and it’s time to start calling a spade a spade.

Imagine this scenario:

You have a neighbor, Mr. Jones—a kind old man whose wife died years ago, who works in his small garden, wears the same old jacket all the time, and has a funny but genuine laugh.

One day, suddenly, Mr. Jones disappears.

Several days later, you notice some activity in his place—it looks like Mr. Jones—and you go to say hello. But suddenly, you realize this is a stranger. He looks like Mr. Jones, sounds a little like Mr. Jones, and acts in some ways like Mr. Jones. But it’s not him.

This person lives in Mr. Jones’ place, wears his clothes, works in the garden, and even has a strange imitation of his laugh. "Who are you?" you ask. He responds, "Why, I’m Mr. Jones, of course!"

But it’s not him.

This creepy scenario is what has taken place with the Democratic party.

One of the stated goals of communism, from the Congressional Record in 1963, was to take over one or both political parties from within.

They’ve succeeded.

In 1949, William Z. Foster, a chairman of the Communist Party USA, dedicated a book by writing "To My Great-Grandson Joseph Manley Kolko Who Will Live in a Communist United States."

He seemed quite confident.

One of the many challenges real Americans now face is to start calling "Democrats" what they actually are. They’ll protest. But if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and acts like a duck, we need to call it a duck.

We’ve been conditioned to believe that communism is just a myth, that it isn’t real, or even if it is real, it only exists in faraway places like China, and anyone who mentions it is a conspiracist who deserves ridicule.

#4  Read about the Venona Intercepts if you want to understand the levels of deep penetration of the US Government by the ComIntern and Soviet NKVD/GRU/KGB agents dating as far back as the mid 1930's.

So what do we know 67 years later? For one thing, that McCarthy actually underestimated the number of American Soviet spies working for the USSR in the FDR administration. It took a while, but in 1994 NSA and CIA released 190,000 formerly classified cablegrams they, and their predecessor agencies, intercepted from 1943 to 1980. The number of American Soviet agents identified from Venona has reached 500, more than double the 205 McCarthy predicted — as researchers have decrypted only ten percent of the documents thus far.

Most of the spies named so far are well known: Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and Alger Hiss, whom the left maintained were victims of American imperialism, are now proved guilty. Assistant U.S. Treasurer Harry Dexter White, now deceased, who became head of the World Bank; and Lauchlan Currie, highly placed in the President’s office; and hundreds more placed in every Cabinet level organization in the U.S. government.

Ex-CIA chief rates today's Republicans as most 'dangerous' political force in history
[Washington Examiner] Former CIA Director Michael Hayden endorsed the assessment that Republicans today are the most "dangerous" political force in history.

Edward Luce, the U.S. national editor and columnist at the Financial Times, got the ball rolling Wednesday in a Twitter exchange that comes at a time when the Republican Party has largely rallied behind former President Donald Trump.

"I’ve covered extremism and violent ideologies around the world over my career. Have never come across a political force more nihilistic, dangerous & contemptible than today’s Republicans. Nothing close," Luce said.

Hayden quote tweeted the observation, writing, "I agree. And I was the CIA Director."

Hayden, a retired four-star Air Force general who served as director of the National Security Agency and later the CIA under former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, is also the founder of the Hayden Center at George Mason University. He endorsed Joe Biden for president in 2020 in an ad for a group then known as Republican Voters Against Trump.

Producers Confirm Liz Cheney Will Not Be Back For Season 2 Of January 6 Hearings
[Babylon Bee] After a critically acclaimed first season that was allegedly watched by some people, the producers of the January 6th Hearings have sadly confirmed that their star Liz Cheney will not be returning for season 2.

"Liz was a standout in season 1 and we're sad to see her go," said fellow actor and screenwriter for the show Adam Schiff. "We will carry on without her, however, as there are many more exciting storylines we have planned for next year!"

As of now, it is unclear whether Cheney's character will be killed off or whether her role will be filled by another actress. Rumors have suggested the showrunners are considering Drew Barrymore, Cate Blanchett, or Cory Booker in a wig.

"It's been my honor to serve the people of Wyoming by spending my every waking minute fighting Donald Trump, just like Abraham Lincoln did," said Cheney. "I look forward to a bright future living off of book advances and scoring a pundit position at MSNBC."

At publishing time, producers confirmed the hearings had been renewed for 12 more seasons.

#1  She quoted the wrong Lincoln stuff. What she really represents is his aphorism "Everyone over 40 is responsible for what he looks like". So there, Ms. Piggy.

#2  /\ 'Character comes within' and notice a total lack of smile lines.

#3  That would be the Lincolns of the Lincoln Project. Just don't let granma babysit.
