Q names pedophile politicians vulnerable to blackmail  "You are not supposed to pay attention to anything published on the website QAnon.  Avert your eyes!  Democrat

politicians and their media allies are sharpening their attacks against Q to make sure as few people as possible read what is published there.  Joe Biden, a man fond of touching little girls, recently opined that Q-followers should seek counseling for their mental health.  The House introduced a resolution condemning Q as a fringe political conspiracy theory, while the Daily News and USA Today splashed big articles on their front pages decrying Q as an insidious dark force, radicalizing Americans.
. . . 

"Q responded to USA Today with a scathing accusation: "Corrupt. Controlled. Enemies of the Republic."  (Note: If you are new to Q, please read my article "An Introduction to Q" and my other Q articles here.)  To prove his point, Q then asked, "How is blackmail used?" and proceeded to list almost 100 politicians — both Democrats and Republicans — already charged with sex crimes against children.

"Here is a small sample of Q's list:

• Democratic Illinois State Representative Keith Farnham has resigned and was charged with possession of child pornography and has been accused of bragging at an online site about sexually molesting a 6-year-old girl.
• Democratic Radnor Township Board of Commissioners member, Philip Ahr, resigned from his position after being charged with possession of child pornography and abusing children between 2 and 6 years old.
• Democratic activist and BLM organizer, Charles Wade, was arrested and charged with human trafficking and underage prostitution.
• Democratic Former Mayor of Hubbard, Ohio, Richard Keenan was given a life sentence in jail for raping a 4-year-old girl.
• Democratic Former Mayor of Stockton, California, Anthony Silva, was charged with providing alcohol to young adults during a game of strip poker that included a 16-year-old boy at a camp for underprivileged children run by the mayor.
• Republican state Senator Ralph Shortey was indicted on four counts of human trafficking and child pornography. In November 2017, he pleaded guilty to one count of child sex trafficking in exchange for the dropping of the other charges.
• Republican Senator Strom Thurmond, a notable racist, had sex with a 15-year-old-black girl which produced a child.
• Republican Committee Chairman Jeffrey Patti was arrested for distributing a video clip of a 5-year-old girl being raped.
• Republican Councilman and former Marine Jack W. Garner was convicted of molesting a 13-year-old girl.
• Democratic New York Congressman, Anthony Weiner, plead guilty to transferring obscene material to a minor as part of a plea agreement for sext[ing] and sending Twitter DMs to underage girls as young as 15.

"Clearly, even this brief excerpt of Q's list shows that plenty of politicians have lots to hide.  And, as Q suggested, powerful people who assault children are vulnerable to blackmail and may be extorted into a wide range of criminal activities, including treason.

"There's still so much we don't know about Jeffrey Epstein and his blackmail activities.  All those kingpins in politics, business, media, and academia who flocked to his residences were captured on hidden surveillance cameras.  What services did they perform to keep their criminal actions secret?  What conspiracies did they hatch to expand their access to children and foil efforts to bring them to justice?

"To even ask these questions is to invite the scorn of the mainstream media, the Democratic presidential candidate, and many other well established people.  But Q encourages his followers to investigate evidence hidden by entrenched global crime syndicates in order to find the truth.

"Many Q-followers have noticed that since the arrest of Epstein's associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, there's been a quick succession of raids that freed missing children.  Did Maxwell give up the information that enabled the recent rescue of 25 missing children in Ohio, 8 children in North Carolina, and 39 children in Georgia?  The media have ignored these sensational stories, but the facts may eventually come out.

LEAVE THEM STANDING: Confederate monuments must remain at Gettysburg to help interpret the Civil War’s causes and consequences

This article will appear in the October 2020 issue of Civil War Times which will be on newsstands in mid-September. Get yours at Barnes and Noble, Walmart, and online at our company site.

HistoryNet  "Visiting Gettysburg National Military Park should be unsettling. The site exists, after all, because of a breathtaking failure of the nation’s electoral system in 1860. Powerful members of Southern society thought Republican victory menaced the long-term viability of slavery and refused to accept the verdict of the ballot box. They dismembered the republic and opened the way for a war whose memory grappled with massive human loss, emancipation’s vast political and social consequences, and anger that lingered for years. As the nation continues to struggle with that memory, a sound understanding of the war and its legacies demands a level of discomfort. The presence of Confederate monuments at Gettysburg will upset some visitors, but that is a price worth paying to protect a valuable and instructive memorial landscape.

"The need to accept discomfort merits attention because heated debates regarding the Civil War’s memorial landscape have included calls to remove Confederate monuments at Gettysburg. These debates on social media, in the U.S. House of Representatives, and elsewhere raise the question of how best to handle the conflict’s deeply, and sometimes violently, contested memory. No other era in our history features the unfathomable complexity of political, social, and constitutional fracturing that sundered the republic and unleashed frightful slaughter. Through 12 years of Reconstruction, decades of Jim Crow rule in the South, the Civil Rights movement of the mid-20th Century, and beyond, conflicting memories of the Civil War affected national politics and culture."

"Gettysburg National Military Park offers superb opportunities to study how the war has been remembered. The battlefield yields insights into memory traditions developed by both the war’s winners and losers. Because most Americans have little or no appreciation for the difference between history and memory, between what actually happened, and how events have been interpreted by different groups at different times, the memorials at Gettysburg hold substantial value as educational tools. As part of this commemorative landscape, which developed over more than a century and a quarter and retains great historical integrity, Confederate monuments should be woven into a touring narrative devoted to how Americans have recalled their defining national trauma. The addition of contextual waysides would enhance the quality of the educational experience by helping visitors recognize ideas and themes associated with various streams of memory." . . .

Left-Wing Media Have Jumped the Shark

Townhall

It is easier to discover an intelligent statement from Joe Biden than it is to find a real journalist in America today. In the Trump era, American journalism has moved from trying to hide its hardcore left-wing agenda to openly advocating for the Democratic Party.

 "For decades, the American news media have been liberal. Studies showed consistent and overwhelming support among the news media for Democratic candidates for president. Even a landslide loser such as 1972 Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern was the runaway favorite among American journalists.
"Previously, the liberal media made a minimal effort to hide their true objectives; however, today, there is no disguising their extreme hatred for President Donald Trump. Their purpose is clear, not to give fair and accurate reporting, but to advocate for the defeat of President Donald Trump and the election of former Vice President Joe Biden.
"At the president’s frequent news conferences, he is subjected to insulting, mean-spirited attacks masquerading as questions. Never has the media treated a president so rudely. Today, the White House press corps are so unhinged they make the rude questioning of Sam Donaldson in the Reagan era look tame in comparison.

"When Barack Obama was president, the media pushed his agenda and asked him obsequious questions such as what “enchanted” him the most about the position. These Democratic Party cheerleaders, poorly imitating reporters, might as well have thrown rose petals at his feet and asked if they could give him a foot rub." . . .

Remember Obama's Hawaii presser when he got this royal CNN treatment?

2011; CNN Reporter Dan Lothian asks Obama this challenging, insightful question: (Speaking bromantically to power)

"After thinking a second – probably wondering how fortunate he is to have such an unapologetic shill in the audience – Obama responded, “That’s a multiple choice question, isn’t it?”

"And this is the type of hard-nosed journalist the supposedly most trusted name in news has as a White House correspondent."

Shill:  1. One who poses as a satisfied customer or an enthusiastic gambler to dupe bystanders into participating in a swindle.2. One who publicly promotes another's cause, especially in an extravagant or misleading way.

The Black Lives Matter Movement and America's Founding Principles

American Thinker

But the claim that "systemic" racism permeates law enforcement agencies strikes me as false.  What correlates most to police shootings and arrests is the crime rate, not race. 

. . . "The Los Angeles Chapter of BLM held a rally on June 23, 2020.  Their message: "We are demanding that the School Board vote ... to defund school police by 90% over the next three years."  This theme seems to resonate throughout the BLM movement and is often endorsed by many political leaders on the left.

"It is time we no longer embrace the well meaning slogans of the BLM Supporters or the radical agenda of the BLM Activists.  Rather, we must vigorously embrace and stand for the American way of life, characterized by a colorblind society, adherence to the tenets of the U.S. Constitution, and a return to traditional American family values.

"Thomas Jefferson is credited with saying, "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."  We are now called upon to end our silence.  We must be vigilant — or we may very well lose the country the vast majority of us of all faiths and colors and creeds love."
