It’s Time for a Difficult Conversation ~ Ep. 1211 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino:

In this episode, I debunk the media hysteria and lying about the crisis and the panic it is causing. I also address a troubling tweet by a college professor concerned about “right-wing” websites. Finally, I discuss positive news about this key swing state and the 2020 election.

Once again, Dan Bongino knocks it out of the park. I look forward to these episodes, and I really don't like being behind by one day. I can only imagine what tomorrow's episode will be about, but again, like in this Episode 1211, there will definitely much more to come about the affects that the mainstream media has. It really is about the Fake News gaslighting us, ladies and gentlemen.

Lately, I have had some very deep thoughts about this Wuhan Virus Pandemic, and about it's affects on this country, with our economy, and the psychological influences and overtones on our society, and on America. Are we going to allow this to make us lose hope? Change the way we live? My hope is, you aren't going to let the MSM hysteria negatively influence you. Their story can change 180 degrees on a moment's notice, as Dan shows us in this episode. I really don't believe that we will just give up.

My question continues to be, is the Wuhan Virus really that dangerous, like the flu, to shut down the whole country? Or, did that NSA intel, as Bongino was talking about, show that there was something way worse than what we've been told? Why did it lead to the stock market crash? Was it all a George Soros plan to get the MSM, and their leftist allies in the Demonicrat Party, to destroy our economy?

It sure is funny how my mind functions while watching the Dan Bongino Show. All kinds of profound thoughts that I'm lead to, and that deserve time to contemplate. Toward the end of this episode, Dan talks about this fabulous story about leftist professors and their concerns about their agenda... ehem, I mean their curriculum, being circulated out to "right wing" (Conservative) websites.  Wow, did we see that coming, or what?

With that, let's watch the show!

Okay, am I the only one that notices a paradox here? I hope not, because it should at least make you wonder about what Patrice is saying, and that she is saying it in a public forum. To me, it seems to be a contradiction to have a phobia about being tracked and controlled by the government, but then write a column that may get the attention of those in the government that track and control people. Just sayin'...

How to be subversive

Sssshhhhhh. I have a secret, something I can't let the government know about. It's something incredibly subversive, certainly seditious, possibly traitorous, and maybe soon to be illegal. Ready? Here's my secret: We use ... gasp ... cash for almost all our transactions. Shocking, I know. Oddly enough, the trigger for our rapid transition to an all-cash…

New Obama czar will hunt 'right-wing' extremists ~ By Leo Hohmann

Americans seen as possibly more threatening than Islamic jihadists

While this information will upset many of us, regarding the targeting of "right-wing extremists" in a new wing of the Justice Department, when I read the entire column, I discovered an even deeper threat!

Whitehead, author of “Battlefield America: The War on the American People,” said he believes the new czar over homegrown violent extremism will work in tandem with the Strong Cities Network announced late last month at the United Nations.

“It’s going to be coordinated somehow with the Strong Cities Network. What you’re going to see is, they’re going to federalize police across the country,” said [John] Whitehead. “They’re already doing it. Ten federal agents have recently moved in to the Oakland Police Department, and they study social media, create algorithms, studying and creating profiles.”

Patriotic citizens who are labeled as "sovereign citizens" are among the groups determined to be extremists! That seems to fit in with what John Whitehead discusses in his book that is mentioned above.

Beware, my fellow Americans, Barack Obama only has a year and a few months left for him to totally transform America. If all that is told about in this column is accurate, those of us that are vocal about the situation would be deemed suspicious and/or enemies of the state. Notorious leaders of the past and present have been very good at getting public opinion to turn against the very people that are trying to protect their freedoms. Just sayin'...

New Obama czar will hunt 'right-wing' extremists

Loretta Lynch's Justice Department will place new emphasis on home-grown violent extremism committed by so-called ‘right wing' attackers. Just two weeks after it announced a plan to globalize local police departments through the "Strong Cities Network," the Obama administration has added a new tool in its fight against "violent extremism." A new position within the Justice…

‘Time to Forget the United States…’: Beck Says the ‘Fundamental Transformation’ of America Has Already Happened

Beck also said he wants no part of a country that will “data mine” its children with programs like Common Core, or prop up the Muslim Brotherhood over Israel.

“I will proudly be a citizen in a respects and lives and protects the Constitution of the United States of America,” Beck said. “But [we] are no longer that country … I didn’t leave my country; my country left me … I’m right where I’ve always been. And where the country used to be. Ruled by the Constitution.”

But Beck said he is inspired because he isn’t alone in his beliefs, and “courage is contagious.”

I won't hesitate to speculate that Glenn Beck will take some flak for his outburst yesterday. But I also won't hesitate to say that I think Glenn is pretty much right on. Glenn Beck is NOT alone in his beliefs. I am one who shares his view that this is not the country we knew just five years ago.

I had been getting more and more disturbed over the last few years as I observed the things going on since Barack Obama took office in 2009.  'The country is going in the wrong direction' would be an enormous understatement.  It was truly the main reason I have revived this blog from it's two-year dormancy.  Though I've been writing on other venues, I knew that there was more that I needed to do.  The major problem is the frightening amount of ignorance about what is happening to our freedom, and I felt the urgency to do what I could to help.

Since the horribly messed up roll-out of healthcare.com, the website for Obamacare, and the large number of people that lost their health care and their doctor, people have started to wake up.  Okay, I know, there is still a long way to go to inform people. I get that.  It is sad when I mention Benghazi to somebody that I would have thought had heard about it, and they ask, "Who is Ben Ghazi?" Oh, dear, it is alarming how little people know about the direction this country is going. Glenn may be right that "the ‘Fundamental Transformation’ of America has already happened." That is, if anything, way too close to the truth.  Just sayin'...

‘Time to Forget the United States…’: Beck Says the ‘Fundamental Transformation’ of America Has Already Happened

By Erica Ritz

Feb. 20, 2014 3:25pm

From TheBLAZE.com

A fiery Glenn Beck asserted Wednesday that the “fundamental transformation” of America has already occurred, and it is “time to forget the United States of America that you know.”

“If this is what is [I am] required to pledge allegiance to, I am no longer a citizen of this country,” Beck said. “If I am required to pledge allegiance to that, I proudly declare now for my grandchildren’s ears, I am not a part of [it].”

Beck was referring to then-candidate Barack Obama’s pledge that “we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America” with his election.

“If they say, you’re an American citizen, and that means we can spy on our own people without a court order … against the Constitution. We can kill babies, abort babies. We can arrest journalists who are trying to leak information to make sure the American people know what’s going on. We can kill our own citizens without trial because the government has decided that the president can just sign an execution order … We can leave our own people behind in Benghazi and then blame it on somebody else. Throw his butt in prison, then lie about it. Get caught and say, ‘what difference does it make,’ I am not a part of that,” Beck said.

Obama's bogus NSA plans mean nothing ~ By Larry Klayman

So President Obama’s sham proposals are just that – a ruse to lull the American people to sleep as his NSA continues to rape and pillage our privacy rights and to act as a sword to keep us silenced as he socializes and Muslimizes the nation to his designs.

It thus falls on us to continue to litigate our cases to a successful conclusion against Obama and the NSA, as this one heroic judge, Richard J. Leon, of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, is the primary hope to protect the citizenry from the tyranny of this administration and its enablers in Congress, short of non-violent revolution.

~ Larry Klayman, from the article

Obama's speech late this last week was given to hopefully quell the fears of the people, and silence those of us who don't feel very comfortable with the NSA spying on us. It was given to allow the mainstream media the ability to say, "There's no more story here. Move along, folks."

It isn't going to work, hopefully. There is the New Media, and this story won't go away as long as we're still here. But wait! That's the ironic twist to the story, though. If we're right, and the government is using unconstitutional spying techniques against us, not to mention using the IRS to target Obama's political enemies to stifle their freedom of speech, we're then going to be in for some major trouble.

What I am afraid of, deep down, is that the abilities of the spy agencies are so technologically advanced, that if they are ever used by a tyrannical government that wants to take away our freedom... And Obama's speech should not make anybody feel anymore confident that it couldn't happen. Just sayin'...

Obama's bogus NSA plans mean nothing

By Larry Klayman

Exclusive: Larry Klayman says NSA will continue 'rape and pillage our privacy rights'

Earlier today, President Hussein Barack Obama addressed the nation regarding the unconstitutional actions of spying on over 300 million American citizens by his National Security Agency (NSA) in an attempt to deflect from his newest “phony scandal.” The president’s so-called recommendations for his NSA and other intelligence agencies are vague, ill-defined and not genuine in any event.

In the wake of a host of these scandals, which now includes the NSA revelations by Edward Snowden, which have captured the nation’s and the world’s attention, and our successful lawsuit that recently resulted in the NSA being enjoined from further violation of our Fourth Amendment constitutional rights, the “Mullah in Chief” was caught with his dirty hands in the proverbial cookie jar and now has to appear to make amends to the aggrieved American people.

WIFLI Briefing for August 26, 2013 - Police State America?

Reports by bloggers and alternative news sources indicating the build up of a police state in America have been dismissed by mainstream pundits and media as the laughable musings of the paranoid. This is in spite of documentation on video and the observations of ordinary citizens who insist that something very different, and even disconcerting, is happening in our towns and communities across America. ~ Anthony G. Martin, in "Marine colonel blows whistle on build up of police state"

You may now add me to the list of the the "paranoid" bloggers and citizenry out there, but this is not a "laughable musing." In fact, this is the first post I've written since January 2013. It took this story to get me motivated to write again, and I'll tell you why! The thought of a police state in America has always been one of my most terrifying fears!! The fact is, once a government takes over with complete control over our lives, with a militaristic police force to back them up, it could be incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to regain our freedom.... Ever!

Though I haven't posted anything here in the last seven months, I have not been idle, nor was I procrastinating. A majority of my time had been spent in working on the Facebook page, johnny2k's America. There was a reason for all the effort that I dedicated to the development of that page.  I have focused on what makes America great, along with what is threatening the freedom we have to keep America great. Along with all that time spent on Facebook, I've done a lot of reading and research - not exactly a scientific study of behavioral statistics or anything - but I arrived on a theory that there is a definite effort by individuals of a certain political ideology, that for some reason, feel that the free American people are a detriment to the global community.  It seems that those people are on the far Left side of the political spectrum.

In this WIFLI Briefing, I will point you to some important facts for you to keep in mind.  There is no way that I can tell you everything in this one journal entry.  That would take a book, if not a volume or series of books.  However, there is information that I think is very important for you to be aware of, and maybe give you a starting point to do your own research.  This is just the proverbial  "pointing you in the right direction" strategy by discussing: 

• What seems to be the militarizing of our police forces (on federal, state and local levels)
• The fact that Obama had promoted an idea of a Civilian National Security Force (even before the election in 2008!).
• A possible way that the American people can be "disarmed" without infringing on the 2nd Amendment by banning guns.

It could possibly be accepted by the American public if we were sure that these things would assure us that we could win the war on international crime-rings, drug cartels, and terrorists.  But unfortunately, there are those of us that don't entirely trust the government, and see what is going here as a convenient way to silence anyone that speaks out against a tyrannical regime. I'm just sayin'...

Welcome to this edition of Time 2 Escape WIFLI Briefing!

What is WIFLI?
You may be wondering what the acronym "WIFLI" means. I started out by calling these issues the Time 2 Escape Daily, but that didn't work out very well. I quickly learned that putting these issues together on a daily basis was a task I was unable to accomplish. To replace "Daily" in the title, I borrowed the acronym WIFLI, which literally means "When I Feel Like It." Putting together a post on this blog WIFLI works much better for my schedule, and for the higher quality of each issue that is eventually published!

Let's start with the article that inspired me to finally post something to this venue after a long absence. In this column, Anthony Martin illustrates a creation of a police state here in America, totally under the radar of the mainstream media.... if you know what I mean.  It is sad that something this serious has to be reported by a New Media commentator like Anthony Martin, or mentioned by an under the radar blogger like me.

Marine colonel blows whistle on build up of police state
From  Examiner.com ~ By Anthony G. Martin ~ Published August 17, 2013

Anthony Martin

In 2008 Barack Obama promised on several occasions during the presidential campaign that he would build a domestic army that would rival if not surpass the power of the U.S. military. Most Americans, apparently, did not take him seriously.

That was a gargantuan mistake.

You are going to start asking some questions when you start looking into the "Civilian National Security Force" that Obama talked about before he was even elected. In the following two links to stories, the questions will be answered.


Why is government stockpiling guns, ammo?
From wnd.com ~ By Joseph Farah ~ Published February 2, 2013

Joseph Farah

Is the U.S. government getting ready for a war we don’t know about?

And, if that’s why Washington is stockpiling massive amounts of ammunition (hollow points, by the way), why is Homeland Security doing the buying instead of the Defense Department?

I have some theories.

Many of you will remember a story I broke a long time ago – about presidential candidate Barack Obama’s little-noticed announcement that, if elected in 2008, he wanted to create a “civilian national security force” as big, as strong and as well-funded as the Defense Department.

How Obama murdered the gun culture
Phil Elmore explains what panic buying of ammo has done to supply
From wnd.com ~ By Phil Elmore ~ Published August 7, 2013

Phil Elmore

“Hey, got any .22 ammo?”

It’s a question every gun owner, every recreational shooter, every prepared citizen has trained himself to ask, every time he walks into one of the stores that used to carry the ammunition he needs for his sporting hobbies.

He has been trained to ask this by the sibilant Barack Obama and that grinning idiot, Joe Biden. He has been trained because Obama and Biden don’t want you to own guns. Thanks to the actions of this administration, ammo supplies have dried up. This shortage is felt by everyone who owns a gun and actively trains with it – so much so that we’re now desperately scrambling to find ways to train with guns without actually using any ammunition. (Google “dirt cheap gun training” or “cheap firearms training drills.”)

Here is where it starts getting really weird. On Friday, the 23rd of August 2013, it is reported that a DHS manager that purchases weapons and ammo for DHS has (had) a website that advocates for a civil war. Are things about to go pear shaped (South)?

What I've shown you here, other than the breaking news about the DHS officer that you saw in the video above, this really isn't new information. This blog was providing information about Obama's desire for a Civilian National Security Force even before he was elected - the first time.  But who knew where all of this was leading to? Probably not anything we could call "good news."  I'm just sayin'...

Is Obama getting Web 'kill switch'?

Okay, now I am starting to get freaked out. It is getting difficult keeping all of these cyber-security agencies straight. Some are part of the Dept. of Defense, and some are part of Homeland Security within the National Security Agency (NSA). While I was reading this column, I noticed that the story's author, Michael Carl, didn't provide very many links. I surfed around in google.com, and added a few of the links myself where appropriate. This way, you can do some of your own surfing as you read this, and hopefully eliminate some confusion as to what is going on here.

I need to reiterate what I had written earlier this morning when posting Joseph Farah's column, "Should president have Net 'kill switch'?":

I have to agree with Joseph that it is doubtful that there would be any national security scenario that would provide a good "excuse" to hit the "kill switch." I guess Senator Joe Lieberman must not be aware of US-CERT (United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team) under Dept. of Homeland Security. I think they have the cyber-security threats under control, and there would be absolutely NO reason for anyone to need to hit the "Kill Switch" button. Well, not unless.... ummm... they wanted to cut off all communication so that people wouldn't be able to find out what is going on in a "national emergency." In other words, as Joseph talks about, it's a 1st Amendment issue ONLY.

And now, I'm not honestly so sure that the concern for the 1st Amendment is truly an issue. Under key elements of the legislation (See #5) in one of the articles I read, it says the following:

Creation of a responsible framework, developed in coordination with the private sector, for the President to authorize emergency measures to protect the nation’s most critical infrastructure if a cyber vulnerability is being exploited or is about to be exploited. The President must notify Congress in advance before exercising these emergency powers. Any emergency measures imposed must be the least disruptive necessary to respond to the threat and will expire after 30 days unless the President extends them. The bill authorizes no new surveillance authorities and does not authorize the government to ‘take over’ private networks.

The "kill switch" - emergency measures, in other words - is apparently supposed to be limited in order to minimize disruption to the Net. So, maybe the uproar about this legislation being a threat to the 1st Amendment isn't completely warranted. However, the amount of money to pay for cyber-security and the additional growth of the government (Big Brother) is greatly concerning. And I must admit, there is always the possibility that at some point of time, all of these new cyber-security agencies could become a threat to our freedom at some point in time. Just sayin'...

The newly operational status of the Cyber Command also is driving concern about the federal government's interest in taking control of the Internet. CNET News reported last August concern over a federal takeover of the Internet was fueled by the introduction of a Senate bill that would give President Obama the authority to take command of the system – or prevent private computers from having access.

The fury over possible federal control of the Internet has not abated, according to a report by Federal News Radio's Tom Temin and Amy Morris.

Temin and Morris say the bill proposed by Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, Maine Sen. Susan Collins and Delaware Sen. Tom Carper would give the president authority to shut down the Internet in the event of a cyber attack. The shutdown actions would be done through the Department of Homeland Security.

Plan cites security to ramp up government control over Internet

Posted: June 17, 2010 ~ 8:37 pm Eastern

By Michael Carl

© 2010 WorldNetDaily

Congress is proposing a tighter grip by the government on the Internet, with a new "Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act of 2010" that would, among other things, give the president a "kill switch" on the Web, critics charge.

Officials with Judicial Watch, a government-watchdog group that investigates and prosecutes government misbehavior, said the plan simply is "keeping with the big-government script" of the Obama administration.

The organization said the bill would grant the federal government "absolute power" to shut down Internet activity and allow the president to take it over in the name of "national security."

The proposal essentially would require broadband providers, search engines and software firms to "immediately comply with any emergency measure or action developed" within the Department of Homeland Security.

Punishment would await offenders.

Judicial Watch said the alarming plan would give the government the power to force private companies to participate in "information sharing" with the government and allow authorities to monitor the "security status" of private websites and others.

"Yet another new government agency (National Center for Cybersecurity and Communications) will be created to police the industry and any company that 'relies on' the Internet, the telephone system or any other component of the 'information infrastructure' will be subject to its command," the organization said.

"The new (National Center for Cybersecurity and Communications) will have no less than two deputy directors and liaison officers to the Defense, Justice and Commerce departments as well as the director of national intelligence."

Judicial Watch also said arming the president with an Internet "kill switch" easily could be misused to silence free speech "under the pretext of a national emergency." (emphasis added by me)

There already is an organization set up to manage such situations and it includes personnel from the National Security Agency, Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force and policymakers (politicians), according to a report from WND columnist Andrea Shea King.

The administration agency, dubbed CYBERCOM, is set up within the Department of Defense and reports it is both a defense and an offense in that it can engage in preemptive "strikes" intended to disrupt threats, she reported.

Big Brother in 1984

At a site called "Tech 1984 - Where Technology and Big Brother Collide," a commentator suggested: "Even though the primary purpose of CYBERCOM is to protect government and military networks, there is incredible pressure to extend that 'protection' to civilian and business networks as well. In fact, the second-highest official at the Pentagon, William Lynn III, deputy secretary of defense, recently announced that the Department of Defense might start a protective program for civilian networks. Defense Secretary Robert Gates stated the same thing in June 2009."

The new legislative proposal comes at the same time the Federal Communications Commission still is attempting to act on a policy called "net neutrality." CNET Networks reported in April that a federal court ruled that the FCC could not act on net neutrality, but the court decision hasn't stopped the push for that agenda as the FCC is still attempting to regulate the Internet using federal rules used to control phone lines.

A government systems analyst who publishes the Tech 1984 site and prefers to use the pseudonym Winston, a name borrowed from Winston Smith from George Orwell's "1984," said the newly activated Cyber Command was proposed last year by Defense Secretary William Gates as a means to protect the military's vast Internet network from attacks by outside or hostile forces.

"Winston" is a confidential source with connections to the cybersecurity industry.

Director Maj. Gen. Steven Smith said in a statement posted on the Army's site that the new agency will be responsible for defending Army information networks from threats around the globe.

"The mission for (the Cyber Command) is to direct the operation and defense of all Army networks, and, on order, conduct full-spectrum operations in support of our combatant commanders and coalition partners," Smith said.

Smith said the new unit will use existing Army and Defense resources and bring together parts of the 9th Signal Command, the First Information Operations Command and the Intelligence and Security Command.

However, Winston, the analyst, believes the new move will be aimed at civilian computer networks. Winston bases his assessment on a recent statement made by Deputy Defense Secretary William Lynn.

"The best-laid defenses on military networks will matter little unless our civilian critical infrastructure is also protected. Critical infrastructure will certainly be targeted in a military conflict," Lynn stated.

"The Department of Homeland Security appropriately has the lead to protect the dot-gov and dot-mil domains. The Defense Department plays an important supporting role in this mission, and has direct responsibility for securing defense-industry networks," Lynn added.
