DOD just changed the rules instituting “shoot to kill” orders for all military assisting local law enforcement during civil unrest.

 Al Ritter

A recent update to DoD directive 5240.01 on September 27, 2024 has given the military the power to use lethal force when accompanying local and state law enforcement on domestic soil in violent situations.

Now who actually authorized such a controversial change? The directive had gone unchanged since 2016, but now with the election closing in rapidly we have now given the military the ability to kill its own citizens?

Is this a precursor to martial law being enacted, or at least the expectation of such an event?

In actual war zones the military has “rules of engagement.” Which sadly has taken many lives of our brave soldiers because they couldn’t react to a threat in a timely manner. There is no such wording in this new directive.

This is very eerie, not only the timing (so close to the election) but nobody seems to be claiming responsibility for the change.

Can the Biden Administration get any dumber?

 Al Ritter

I truly have to stop asking that question because they are starting to see this as a challenge!

Last week I saw a YouTube video about a Chinook helicopter landing at an Inn in a little remote town of Little Switzerland, NC. They were one of the many towns cut off from the rest of the world after Hurricane Helene in the Appalachian area of North Carolina.

This town stands at an elevation of 3500 feet making deliveries of rations that much more difficult. The Chinook pilots were excellent and were VERY careful about their landing zone.

I must admit I was starting to think that maybe the government was actually doing something in this horrible situation after 10 days of basically doing nothing other than denying applications for the $750 per family.

I watched as the residents helped the military staff unload multiple pallets from the aircraft.

What I wasn’t paying attention to however was what those supplies were. I mean I did see water in bottles and the typical food stuffs, but didn’t look much past that.

What I have found out since is jaw dropping!!!!

Three pallets of battery powered chainsaws were delivered to a town with no electricity! Electric restoration may take months and yet some idiot government bureaucrat decided it would be smart to deliver battery powered chain saws.

You just can’t make this stuff up.

The leading spreaders of lies is our government!

 Al Ritter

As I said in my last article Deanne Criswell the head of FEMA came on one of the affiliate propaganda “news” outlets and stated that people saying that FEMA was out of money because they were giving it to illegal aliens entering our country was misinformation and dangerous to her FEMA employees.

Furthermore, the cost of life from Helene (according to their claims) stands at 227. Now that number is from all the states combined not just North Carolina. Funeral Homes in NC alone are inundated with bodies and no place to put them. Bodies are being shipped out of Asheville to surrounding areas for storage. NC alone has gone through 500 body bags and has requested more, but so far been denied. I suppose the optics would look bad for the Biden Administration.

Sadly out of shear frustration family members are being forced to bury their loved ones in THEIR BACK YARDS!

Karine Jean-Pierre Whitehouse Press Secretary, has also stated that speaking about the dwindling FEMA money is not because of spending it on illegal immigrants. There is video proof from 2022 where she is saying that money has been used to resettle illegals from FEMA’s purse, she even bragged about it!

They deny, deny, deny, claiming that what people are seeing on the ground in NC in death toll is misinformation or disinformation. The same thing goes for the reallocation of money to illegal settlement.

They are the actual ones involved in spreading mis/disinformation, but it’s not just that it’s outright lies!

Is this what we want for the next 4 years?

Unmarked Military Blackhawk destroys donation center in NC!

 Al Ritter

The head of FEMA, Deanne Criswell is claiming that reports of the Federal Government (FEMA) specifically, has little to no feet on the ground, is not only misinformation but dangerous!

Regardless of only 1500 National Guard Troops on the ground of this disaster ridden areas of Appalachia the government keeps reiterating that they are on the ground and doing the lion’s share of the work load. Actual local relief workers paint a different picture.

We have already told you stories of how private helicopter operators have been turned away by local law enforcement not only on landing zones but have also had provisions confiscated.

This latest account however is way above and beyond interference of delivering life-saving items to those that need it, this is evil behavior watch as an unmarked Blackhawk Helicopter intentionally prop washes an area set up to distribute food and supplies in Burnsville, NC.

Let’s just discount the absurdities from the last four years and zone in on this!

 Al Ritter

Let’s just put aside for now the last four years of failed policies and actual stupidity of the Biden/ Harris administration. Let’s concentrate on the last 9 days.

Biden and Harris both have claimed how FEMA and the federal government have activated multiple resources into action to help Appalachian residents recover from hurricane Helene.

What we are actually seeing is the exact opposite. People on the ground who are actually doing the help are not only claiming that they haven’t seen ANY federal help, but they are claiming that their help is not only being denied, but threatened with arrest if they even attempt to do so.

The private aviation helicopters have been threatened with arrest if they continue to fly even though no “no fly zones” were recorded in the early days of the disaster. Reports are coming in that local, state and federal authorities (FEMA) have confiscated items that were privately donated because of violating some ordinances about who was in charge.

These are neighbors and friends helping people in need for heaven sake.

FEMA is upset because donations circumvent the federally approved vendors! I suppose because they need their cut out of the taxpayer’s pocket.

This is devastation above and beyond Katrina folks, the media and government is claiming that 220 lives have been lost, but 500 body bags have already been filled and the rescue groups are saying they are now in recovery mode rather than rescue. The claim that the stench from dead bodies is overwhelming in these areas. Gen Flynn who has many connections in the area said the toll in lost life is closer to 1000-2000.

Blood is on the hands of the Biden /Harris administration for their inactivity in the first 6 days. One pilot was saying that Biden’s visit placed a no fly zone in the recovery area for almost a day hampering any efforts to help by helicopter for merely a photo op.

This reprehensible action by this administration is no way to treat its citizens, regardless of their political views.

Who picked this guy again?

 Al Ritter

Well as I stated in a previous article the most logical pick for the VP position would have been Gov. Josh Shapiro. Shapiro might have given the Dems the state of Pennsylvania because of his popularity. Swing states are what both parties need at this point but instead the party of diversity and inclusion choose to pick someone else because of their anti-Semitic stance. Pity for them but that was a bad choice they will have to live with.

So who picked Walz for the VP position you ask?

Well as you know the party was panicked after the Biden Coup and they needed the VP position to be filled and quickly. Reportedly the vetting of the next Democratic VP was handed to none other than disgraced past Attorney General Eric Holder! You remember this guy right, the lead man in the Fast and furious gun running scandal.

It turns out now Holder has his own law firm and was charged with the vetting process of Tim Walz, a governor with nothing to offer the ticket other than his allegiance to the principles of the Democratic Party.

I suppose it depends on who you talk to about whether Walz was a good choice or not for the ticket.

What is glaringly obvious is that Walz presents himself as a cartoonish character prone to buffoonish statements. “I'm a knucklehead at times.” Spoken during the debate, I’m sure every Democratic strategist was in cringe mode, including Mr. Fast and Furious himself after Walz made that declaration.

Your Opinion Means Nothing!

Al Ritter

As I have said in many previous articles that Narcissistic Personality Disorder has taken over society. What was once and outlying disorder has now reached a massive pandemic level.

Some experts are saying that as many as 30% of our population exhibits mild to severe traits associated with NPD. That can mean that 34 million people in America are in the NPD spectrum, personally I think that figure is low and reality is much, much higher.

Let’s review for a moment, they have a grandiose sense of self-importance. They lie constantly and sometimes to no direct benefit to the situation. They discount your value to anything, in relationships in business dealings and social settings. They think that nobody else can have a more important opinion other than their own.

They are the product of a society that rewards participation more than achievement. They were the product of parents that always told them they were special and better than anyone else even though they weren’t.

This isn’t just a problem in America, this problem is spreading like wild fire throughout the world especially the EU right now. The ruling elitists have grown stronger through media, through education, and through the expenditure of their personal fortunes to inflict their world view on the masses. The Covid-19 pandemic was a mere test run to see how quickly the elitists could gain massive control of the world and the results were devastating.

We are being told what to say and what to think now through censorship and educational indoctrination. We are told that it is bad to have borders, we are told it’s bad to have opinions that don’t match theirs. The preach inclusion but offer none.

Effectively one half of the population is telling the other half that their opinion is worthless, and it comes in the form of “Misinformation” or “Disinformation.” They tell us that our founding documents are not “absolute,” and are either considered a living document free to be changed at will or ignored totally. They think that their research and investigation on issues is absolute and can’t be questioned….remember “Follow the science?” Even when there was no actual scientific basis? You can’t ignore half of your population’s opinion, this is how Civil Wars start, and believe me when I say were are headed that way like down a mine shaft if something doesn’t change soon.

I was amazed recently when having dinner with a couple of liberal guests on how excited they were to get the newest greatest Covid booster, and placed Fauci on a pedestal as a godly being. It boggles my mind to see people who are so blind to obvious facts 5 years later when all the data is surfacing.

They use their power and money to achieve their goals through backdoor methods that borderline on circumventing the law in many cases. They pick and choose who they prosecute and what laws to enforce and which ones to ignore.

World War III before November 5th?

 Al Ritter

One of my old adages is “Nothing starts a fight faster than a wedding or a funeral.”

On the flip side is, “Nothing brings a family together like a mutual adversary.”

That last adage brings us to where we are now.

The Democrats have tried to silence Trump through multiple law suits, basically trying to either bankrupt him or send him to jail. So far that hasn’t worked and almost every case is on appeal. Then Democrat supporters have tried to assassinate him, caused by inflammatory rhetoric from the Democratic elite. Thankfully that hasn’t happened so far. Can you imagine the warmonger Nikki Haley being the only Republican left standing?

So what’s left you ask? One doesn’t have to go far to see how an unpopular regime stays in power. Case in point is President Zelensky who has made himself dictator of a so called Democracy. Yes he has suspended all elections under martial law, jailed his detractors, shut down churches and basically let his Nazi brigade run wild.

He then comes to western powers to act like Oliver Twist and beg for more, more munitions, more money……more, more, more! Never mind that he doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of beating Russia, 178 billion dollars and counting, but I digress.

My point in this article is that Zelensky, as corrupt as he is, has laid out a perfect roadmap for the Democrats to follow.

Totalitarianism through martial law is the only thing left for the war mongers. This way they retain power, eliminate the November election, and band the Americans together to fight a common enemy, Russia!

Conspiracy theory you say? Think about it for a minute, their plans have massively failed so far and their propaganda about Harris leading the polls isn’t working either, so what is left?

Zuckerberg is all in on November Election

Al Ritter

It was just 4 short years ago Zuckerberg was betting $400 million dollars on the fact that Joe Biden would be elected to be President of the United States.

His image was tarnished not only in that expenditure but also how he handled what he now calls “strong arm tactics” of the Biden Administration to censor speech on his platform. In the last two months Zuckerberg has tried to distance himself from the Democratic Party, but why?

Maybe he sees the writing on the wall about his company’s future if Donald Trump is elected, maybe he sees the possibility of title 230 disappearing if somehow the Republicans take the Senate too. What is puzzling however is his move to declare himself a Libertarian. I think he believes that to be a middle of the road position and adds to his personal perception as a victim of the Biden Administration rather than a willing participant.

If you recall Bill Gates suffered a similar fate after his vaccination debacle in Africa. His image was so tarnished he hired a strategist to find a way out. This strategist suggested that he start the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This has been successful to a degree but Gates never fully recovered his reputation, but then bad people never really do.

Now Zuckerberg is attempting to do the same thing, repair and already questionable reputation by hiring a Republican strategist.

Will it work for him to avoid any future investigations by government? Who knows, but one thing is for sure, I wouldn’t want to be him for the next four years, especially if Harris wins. If that happens she will view him as a turn coat.

Either way it should be fun to watch!

What is an acceptable amount of cheating?

Al Ritter

Any rational thinking person’s answer to this question should be ZERO! Sadly we aren’t talking about rational thinkers we are talking about the powerful takers in society.

Cheating is an act willfully perpetrated on the unknowing. The more you know however, the less chance of a cheat. If we are talking about a cheating spouse, the victim usually has no idea what’s happening behind their back until it’s too late.

Once exposed however it becomes hard to hide the continual behavior. It’s at that point that everything is in the balance of a failed relationship or a continued one.

This is the precipice we are facing right now, will it fail or go on like it has since 1963?

We know that lying infiltrates every portion of our government and the propaganda wing known as the Media.

We are being lied to right now, we are told that Harris is leading Trump in most swings states. This comes from a political machine that is fronting a political puppet in much the same way as Biden is.

When they tell you the polling is only separated by two points it will easier for you to believe that she has won by 5 points after days of recounting votes. Early voting and mail-ins makes cheating that much easier because they have a heads up indication of how many fraudulent votes they need to insert in really close areas.

Everyone knows that fraudulent voting happens, to be a denier on that front only places you in the indoctrinated category.

Both parties know it happens, and they both are acceptant of it to a certain degree, but how much cheating is too much?

5%?   10%,  20%,  30%?

In much the same way 2 sides deal with cheating in a marriage, when does one side eventually say enough is enough in an election and expose the whole corrupt system?

Watch Joe Rogan talk about it in this video:
