Monday August 31st – Open Thread

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Mike Steger Outlines Secretary Bessent Targeting the Dark Money Empire

A very interesting outline as Promethean Action’s Mike Steger notes the current lack of USA street protests is directly connected to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tracking, tracing and targeting the dark money non-profits.

From Arabella Advisors and the Sixteen Thirty Fund to the Tides Foundation, Open Society Foundations, CAIR, and the Southern Poverty Law Center, Mike explains how donations can move through interconnected charities and political organizations without revealing the original donors. These networks, he argues, allow billionaire-backed operations to influence elections, protests, political movements, and American culture while retaining their tax-exempt status.

Mike then examines the Trump administration’s response, including Treasury’s Form 990 Transparency Initiative, investigations into nonprofit financial networks, and efforts to hold tax-exempt organizations accountable for where their money goes. He also considers how Bessent’s campaign against Iran’s financial infrastructure offers a model for dismantling domestic networks accused of financing political violence.

But this system did not begin with a recent election. Mike traces its legal foundation to 1913, when the Rockefeller Foundation received a permanent charter and the Revenue Act created broad tax exemptions for charitable, religious, scientific, and educational organizations. WATCH:

Merz Prepares to Blame Russia for Sketchy Leipzig Airport Drone “Attack”

The drone in question was a limited distance quadcopter that needed to be remotely operated from a visible location.  Everything about the Leipzig airport drone attack story was sketchy {BACKGROUND}.  Germany said they were investigating the failed “attack” and now reports are surfacing that German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is likely to pin the blame on Russia. Because of course he is.

Together with the U.K and France, Germany is one of the key NATO partners in the so-called ‘coalition of the willing’.  German bases are currently being used by NATO allies to stage their Ukraine military support and logistics.

The German economy is in a severe state of contraction, opposition political parties are gaining momentum and Merz, like Macron, needs a distraction.

BERLIN, Aug 30 (Reuters) – German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Sunday Berlin was preparing a response to the suspected drone attack on a Ukrainian cargo plane in Leipzig this month in coordination with its European and NATO partners.

“We are in the process of concluding the investigation. There is broad consensus within the Federal Government on how we should respond, and we will make this clear in the coming days; it won’t be long now,” he said in an interview on ARD public television.

Germany has so far not said officially who it believes was behind the suspected attack attempt at Leipzig/Halle airport on August 4, when an explosives-laden drone was discovered near a Ukrainian Antonov cargo aircraft used for military supplies.

On Saturday, the daily Die Welt reported that in the next few days, the government would blame Russia for the attack and announce measures that would include sanctions coordinated with European Union partners.

DNC Election Rigger Proposes Adding 4 Leftist Judges to Supreme Court at First Available Opportunity

When the South Carolina congressman travelled to Wisconsin in 2024 to visit with poll workers and not candidates, no one seemed curious about the intent.  When South Carolina had the opportunity to redistrict that same congressman, the professional republicans in the palmetto state protected him.

Now the organizer of the AME Church network of poll workers appears on NBC to say at the first available opportunity the Democrats should pack the court with another four leftist judges to ensure all of the constitutional restraints are removed from the judiciary.  Yep, that’s James Clyburn.

Clyburn begins his remarks in this segment by decrying Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for not adhering to the manipulative racial expectations of his position.  Clyburn then advocates for adding as many justices as needed in order to advance his agenda.  WATCH:

[Transcript] – KRISTEN WELKER: Welcome back. Joining me now is Democratic Congressman James Clyburn of South Carolina. Congressman Clyburn, welcome back to Meet the Press.

REP. JAMES CLYBURN: Well, thank you very much for having me back.

President Trump Advises Corporations to Depart Canada for Operational Stability in USA

I think we have finally figured out President Trump’s long-term strategy here.  Essentially, we have been flummoxed over why President Trump has not yet triggered the 6-month USMCA (CUSMA) termination notice yet.  However, he appears to be intentionally drawing this out.

For the deniers, I simply request you to think about it in very simple and logical terms.  Do you really foresee any possibility of President Trump or USTR Jamieson Greer renegotiating a USMCA agreement amid the divide Canada is creating?  There’s no way terms will ever be discussed.

Therefore, with an all-in perspective on termination, the moves President Trump is making now are all just to prolong economic pain and block investment while retaining the termination notice as the hidden ace.  [VIA TRUTH SOCIAL]

Why this approach?

Well, right now American communists and those with TPS status changes are fleeing to Canada; a human sedimentation tank.

Bring back the corporations who set up shop in Canada and swap them for outbound, dependent leftists.

Alberta will never secede from Canada because Premier Danielle Smith is a gaslighting fibber and structurally in alignment with Mark Carney. Additionally, if you look up “battered conservative syndrome” in the geopolitical library you will note that Alberta is the birthplace of the mindset, and Pierre Poilievre is their mascot.  Alberta will never leave Canada.

Those who understand the pretense of the UniParty in the United States, likely understand that in Canada the pretending is exponentially more entrenched.

Sunday Talks – CNN’s Dana Bash Defends Illegal Immigration Against Deportation Czar Tom Homan

In one of President Trump’s best speeches he asked made the following statement: “This election will determine whether we are a free nation, or whether we have only the illusion of Democracy but are in fact controlled by a small handful of global special interests rigging the system. This is not just conspiracy but reality, you know it and I know it.”

Ten years later and there is more evidence of the illusion of democracy than a free nation.  The latest example comes in the form of CNN’s Dana Bash defending the right of illegal aliens to destroy our nation.   Video and Transcript Below:

[Transcript] – Dana Bash: Here with me now is White House border czar Tom Homan.

Thank you so much for being here this morning, sir.  I want to start with the case of Milo Yiannopoulos. There is a lot we don’t know here. What kind of visa was he under? And did he apply to extend that visa?

TOM HOMAN, WHITE HOUSE BORDER CZAR: Look, it’s my understanding, looking at the Department of Homeland Security press release, that he overstayed his visa. I believe it was a visitor visa, but I’m not sure.

But he overstayed the visa. He was ordered to appear in immigration court. He didn’t show up. The judge ordered him deported. So, once ICE gets an order of deportation from a federal judge, their job is to execute that order, and that’s what they did.  He had his due process, ordered removed by a federal judge, and ICE removed him. It’s that simple.

U.S. Visa Restrictions, Reviews and Applicant Suspensions Create Massive Anxiety in India – Millions Pour into DC Lobbyists

CTH strongly emphasizes two key policy sectors, Maganomics and Immigration enforcement; they go together. We cannot achieve the economic results we want for the American people unless strong and powerful immigration enforcement is in place.

While the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) navigates the deportation and removal process (painfully slow in my opinion), Secretary of State Marco has revoked, blocked and restricted visa entry processes. The State Dept effort is strong, but continually encounters resistance from the Lawfare communists who are trying to destroy U.S. nationalism.

NASSCOM (National Association of Software and Service Companies) is an Indian non-governmental trade association and advocacy group that primarily serves the Indian technology industry. Founded in 1988, NASSCOM operates as a nonprofit organization and serves as a key entity within the Indian technology sector. NASSCOM is the primary advocacy group for manipulating the U.S. visa entry system.

When we discuss the politics in countries who accept bribes and payments for influence in political decisions, we call that bribery and corruption. However, when the exact same activity takes place in Washington DC, we call it Lobbying. NASSCOM is now spending money to purchase U.S. politicians and look specifically about how they frame the discussion. (emphasis mine):

[…] Ameet Nivsarkar, VP in Nasscom, said the association was working on various strategies to limit the adverse impact of the immigration bill. “We are engaging with coalitions and consortiums in the US like the US India Business Council, an independent think-tank. It’s also important for our members and non-members to be a part of the advocacy through multiple engagements that requires having local representatives in the US or even talking to their customers to raise the issue on their behalf,” he said.

The immigration bill seeks to make work visas like H-1B more expensive and difficult to obtain for companies that already have a high proportion of their US staff on such visas. Infosys, for instance, is said to have almost 90% of their 15,000 employees in the US on such visas. If these visas become difficult to obtain, it will compel Indian IT companies to significantly alter their business models. They would either have to hire many more local Americans, which would be expensive, or find ways to do more of the work offshore, which would be difficult. Any such changes would put Indian IT companies at a disadvantage against their global competitors who have a strong local American presence. {SOURCE}
