NEXTRUSH UNPLUGGED WEEKEND: THE USA LOOKS LIKE A ONE PARTY STATE, TRUDEAU BAILS OUT BIDEN ON IMMIGRATION, IS 'DONALD' IN BED WITH 'MICKEY'? COVID TYRANNY THREE YEARS AGO TODAY

 


                                                "WONDERFUL TONIGHT"-ERIC CLAPTON





                               "ONLY FOR THE LOVE OF THE LORD"-BRUSH ARBOR (LIVE)

                                                      "GODS OF MEN"-RANDY STONEHILL 




Welcome to Your Weekend and wow some of the Contemporary Christian Music I enjoyed back in the 1980's my decade of drifting in and out of that style of music.



Your host back again looking for the Ultimate Truth pursuing it.



I hope no one is offended I sense the need to present a spiritual message my sense of the Higher Power, the Higher Authority often called G-d based on my life experiences.



The Higher Power Cares About Me And Wants What Is Best For Me



I In Turn Must Care About What The Higher Power Wants And Care About What's Best For Others


I used to be part of the "Religious Right" I thought my egocentric ideas were those of the Higher Power and I wanted to shape and mold the world "in my image".



I was in my own way a Woodrow Wilson wanting to control and manipulate things like he did.


Among other things President Wilson cracking down on dissent during World War I a war opposed by more than 100 members of Congress when the vote was taken in 1917.



And here we are here and now being manipulated into war.



I need to find something better than that right now I surely do.



"Repentance" which is really defined in my mind as a "Change of Heart" is something I need to actively engage in with that in mind I share this with you.


A lot of crazy behavior in my childhood years associated with the childhood "traumas" I became angry with others and I went through Anti-Semitism at a young age before my Christian Zionist Experience around 1973.


One such episode my infatuation with a girl who looked like dare I say it Monica Lewinsky indeed a Jewish girl it started in fourth grade.


I haven't seen that girl since 11th grade but I have written what I want to say to her and I want to share that with you in the name of healing for all of us.


It is in the form of a letter:



"I trust that this letter finds you and those close to you enjoying blessings.


Many years ago I was drawn to you when we were young.



I was immature selfishly wanting to be your boyfriend.   It was an unrealistic proposition.    In the midst of my childish and selfish behavior you were kind to me.   Thank You.


I was so selfish and angry that I chose to go to the house being built for you to live in.  There I smashed a window and knocked some bricks on the porch.


I was wrong.   I should never have done that.



I still remember seeing you some years later when I was in high school me saying Hello to you and your smiling response of saying Hello to me.


There was something in that moment that was so much better than selfish desire, there was Love and Understanding.


I wish you Peace and Serenity in your life and all of the best that Our Creator has to offer"



I have written other letters in a similar vein and spoken words like these to some people and I still need to do more of that.

There is no ability right now to reason with the insanity out there and I don't think there ever was or ever is any ability to reason with insanity so instead of debating folks online I need to advance my life forward and so I am here and I have done stuff like that letter to get here.



Down in New Zealand recently mob rule thousands shutting down speaker "Posey Parker" for wanting to discuss the notion of "Male" and "Female" branded a "Transphobe".


But the mob rule related to Transgenderism started before COVID.


Newspaper columnist Rachel Stewart member of the LGBT community "canceled" by the New Zealand Herald.



Stewart also had her firearms seized over a tweet.    She fought in court to get them back.


She talks at length about an authoritarian society that has emerged down there as it has everywhere including the COVID tyranny.


Rachel Stewart interviewed by "Reality Check Radio" a new media outlet in New Zealand.


The discussion focused on the organized leftist militancy determined to control the narrative and destroy its enemies.


And regarding trans militancy she actually calls it "male domination" in disguise.  She says trans militancy is a new form of "misogyny"...

Well where do we go from here time to take on politics and the forces behind it the folks who brought Glenn Beck down at Fox and have ended up showing Tucker Carlson the door.



These Banking and Business Elites are truly "Moderates" or as our update theme states they are like a "Dead Skunk In The Middle Of The Road"...






The first stop is Bentonville, Arkansas the town that Walmart built where former Arkansas Governor and US Senator Asa Hutchinson announced his candidacy for the GOP Presidential nomination in 2024.




"and that battle is for the future of our country and the soul of our party"


ASA HUTCHINSON ANNOUNCES HIS PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDACY BENTONVILLE, ARKANSAS 4/26/2023 (At 2:34 into video)...






Asa Hutchinson is a former prosecutor he was once a federal prosecutor.



He talked about the need for enforcement of the law to bring order to society in other parts of that speech.



Asa Hutchinson talked "Faith" in that announcement but he defined himself as Governor of Arkansas as one who opposed giving "People of Faith" the ability to object to gay marriage.


Hutchinson was under corporate pressure including pressure from the man who you are about to see in the next video.




Let's go back to last December and the CNBC interview with Walmart CEO Doug McMillon talking the very tough issue of retail theft among other things the need to fully staff police departments and deal with the stealing or else prices will rise and stores will close.



McMillon representing in this interview 200 of the top business leaders in the USA the "Business Roundtable"



And what did he say towards the end when it came to what "policy makers" as in the government should be doing.



"it's just policy consistency and clarity so that we can make capital investments with some vision"

DOUG MCMILLON CEO OF WALMART SPEAKS FOR THE "BUSINESS ROUNDTABLE" LAST DECEMBER (At 1:36 into the video)...







Those "Business Roundtable" people are putting their $$$$ into the political system both parties and this "Left" and "Right" stuff does not give them the "consistency and clarity" Doug McMillon mentions.



So you get the "fight" between "Left" and "Right" in the social issues sphere because the economic issues are not negotiable.



And while we are on the social issues topic I see Justice Clarence Thomas in the crosshairs like Tucker because that Supreme Court abortion decision went off the rails as far as rich and powerful people with money are concerned.


The business community demands and pays for a consistently pro-business policy the railroad workers prevented from striking at the end of last year by both political parties including Joe Biden for the sake of business because business buys both parties.




AND NOW LET'S GO THE FIRING OF TUCKER CARLSON AND LET TUCKER TALK ABOUT IT IN HIS OWN WORDS...




"The undeniably big topics the ones that will define our future get virtually no discussion at all.


War



Civil Liberties



Emerging Science



Demographic Changes



Corporate Power



Natural Resources




When was the last time you heard a legitimate debate about any of those issues?





It's been a long time.




Debates like that are not permitted in American media.





Both political parties and their donors have reached consensus on what benefits them and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it.



Suddenly the United States looks like very much like a one party state.



That's a depressing realization but it's not permanent.



Our current orthodoxy won't last.



They're brain dead.



Nobody actually believes them.



Hardly anyone's life is improved by them.



This moment is too inherently ridiculous to continue.



And so it won't.



The people in charge know this that's why they're hysterical and aggressive.



They're afraid.



They've given up persuasion and they're resorting to force.



But it won't work.



When honest people say what's true, calmly and without embarrassment they become powerful.



At the same time the liars who've trying to silence them shrink and they become weaker.



That's the iron laws of the universe.



True things prevail.



Where can you still find Americans saying true things?




There aren't many places left but there are some and that's enough.



As long as you can hear the words there is hope."



TUCKER CARLSON SPEAKS IN TWITTER VIDEO WEDNESDAY 4/26/2023

                              (Starting at :41 into video)...





We have a "political debate" that is astroturfing and gaslighting emotional distracting issues that aren't core conservative or progressive.


Any real issue that butts into the corporate agenda what Big Banks and Big Business want cannot be allowed.



Shut up and take this jab from Big Pharma was the message not so long ago did that teach us anything?



Heck John Fetterman who knows maybe he ended up in the mental health ward because he realized that it's all fake in the US Senate you aren't allowed to be a real leftist a real progressive.



And what about the Fakeservatives like Nikki Haley, Tim Scott and Lindsey Graham not to mention Governor Henry McMaster all those South Carolina Republican phonies just Corporate Donor Dollar Shills.




And so many more phonies in both political parties to talk about the phonies funded by the folks that fired Tucker Carlson that put the pressure on Fox News to shut him down.



Honestly I think the "donors" that fired Tucker have links to Astroturf Fakeservative Personalities even Glenn Beck sad to say and getting back to political personalities even Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis for sure.

"Canada: Why the country wants to bring in 1.5m immigrants by 2025"-BBC News November 22, 2022





But now we have learned the Biden Administration migrant policy includes overseas facilities for people to apply to get in the US with some of them being offered the opportunity to go to Canada or even Spain in some cases...


"Migrants: US to open new processing centres in Colombia and Guatemala"-BBC News April 28, 2023



Heck Biden is now able to divert to Canada and Spain hundreds of thousands of migrants that could or would otherwise enter the USA ole Justin Trudeau helping to relieve Joe Biden's burden through the 2024 Election.

FRANCE YELLOW VESTS WEEK 233: PROTESTS CONTINUE, MACRON SUGGESTS POTS AND PANS "UNDEMOCRATIC", MAJOR STRIKES AND RALLIES MONDAY, ATTEMPT TO PROVOKE OR CREATE JANUARY 6TH IN FRANCE

 


                                                             (NEWS, COMMENT, ANALYSIS)



                 (MAINSTREAM MEDIA SOURCES USED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS POST)



This week Emmanuel Macron encountered various kinds of protests as he attempted to tour France and tout his concern for teachers (higher pay) and health care among other issues.


But everywhere he went there was dissent ranging from the clanging of pots and pans to up close conversations challenging him regarding the issue that is unresolved.


The issue of his imposition of pension reforms without a National Assembly vote including the raising of the retirement age from 62 to 64.


Other cabinet ministers and the Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne greeted with the:


                              "Concert de Casseroles"




translated into English:



                              "Concert of Pots and Pans"






POTS AND PANS PROTEST AGAINST FRANCE'S AGRICULTURE MINISTER IN NORMANDY THURSDAY APRIL 27, 2023




At one point this week President Macron spoke out saying that the pots and pans protests were something that was beneath "democracy" as he sees it.


Macron claiming on Tuesday that protests must be done:



       "in a purely democratic and respectful framework"...


                    FREE REPUBLIC POST-BFM-TV NEWS STORY-DISCUSSION



On Thursday local officials banned any protest that made loud noises for the visit of Emmanuel Macron who was trying to talk about health care but still found himself confronted by people openly disagreeing with him in their comments and questions...






On Friday authorities banned a protest near the Stade de France planned for this evening by the CGT labor union a leading force in opposition to the Macron pension reform scheme.


President Macron set to attend the final match of the Coupe de France soccer (football) tournament.



This Monday is May Day a traditional labor union day of protest but this Monday nationwide strikes and protest across France another day of dissent from Macron's imposition of pension reform.


The leader of the Left political faction in France's National Assembly Jean-Luc Melenchon posting a You Tube video urging police to participate in Monday's protest noting that their pensions are also impacted by Macron's new law.



For now Emmanuel Macron's attempt to pivot from the Left to the Right to the Left and so on the Moderate image he wants to project is dead in the water for most people in France.



The cutting of pensions by the former banker turned politician trying to carry out his own 'great reset' policies that ultimately favor the banking and business world he came from a bridge too far for public opinion.




TODAY IN PARIS THE TRADITIONAL WEEKLY SATURDAY YELLOW VESTS PROTEST CARRIES ON THE TRADITION STARTED MORE THAN FOUR YEARS AGO.




YELLOW VESTS MARCH IN THE STREETS OF PARIS SATURDAY 4/29/2023

ONE WELCOME DEVELOPMENT FOR PROTESTERS WAS THE LIFTING OF THE PROTEST BAN AROUND THE STADIUM....




Here is a live video stream Saturday evening from outside the Stade de France....




LIVE VIDEO STREAM OUTSIDE STADE DE FRANCE SATURDAY 4/29/2023




We shall see what Monday brings in France many airline flights and trains cancelled other sectors on strike mass rallies across the country.



Emmanuel Macron seems to maintain a strategy that through his snide attitude towards protests and restrictive measures imposed by various local authorities may trigger some sort of response that can become a sort of "January 6th" in France.



This could shift public opinion away from supporting protests and maintaining public opposition to his pension reform law.



                                          That's the story of France and the Yellow Vests for this week.





ALSO AVAILABLE THIS WEEKEND'S 'UNPLUGGED' POST...NEXTRUSH UNPLUGGED WEEKEND: THE USA LOOKS LIKE A ONE PARTY STATE, TRUDEAU BAILS OUT BIDEN ON IMMIGRATION, IS 'DONALD' IN BED WITH 'MICKEY'

                                                            






WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON?: THE REAL PURPOSE OF FOX NEWS IS TO GET GRASSROOTS CONSERVATIVES BEHIND PRO- BIG BANK, PRO- BIG BUSINESS MODERATE REPUBLICANS TUCKER CARLSON DIDN'T PLAY ALONG

 



The Fox News Channel and Fox Business Channel exist in the spirit of Rupert Murdoch lover of Sex and Capitalism.


When Roger Ailes arrived on the scene and built his "Fox News Channel" several decades ago Roger brought his GOP Establishment loyalties and sexual proclivities to the table.


 Ailes built an institution that billed itself as the "Fox News Channel: Fair And Balanced" but it could also have been billed as the "Fox Chick Channel; Breast And Leg".


When women first did television news the Roger Ailes sexualized way was not the norm heck Jessica Savitch female news pioneer once told David Letterman about what she did on the open set when she wore a dress.


Savitch used heavy "gaffer tape (duct tape)" to tape her legs together.


This sexy presentation of the news that eventually led to even Roger Ailes own demise did have a more serious purpose.


Rupert Murdoch (Moloch) was a global capitalist and international businessman he clearly was a Globalist, Internationalist building his business in nations around the world including China when that was fashionable.


For business to succeed the vehicles of success were mainstream political parties that capitalists gave their money to.


Murdoch could support Conservatives in the UK but he could also support the Labor Party as well in its crony capitalist Tony Blair incarnation that has been resurrected by current leader Sir Keir Starmer.


Who knows what Lachlan Murdoch will end up doing with the channel in the future but the Fox News Tradition is Capitalist and Globalist Moderate and Centrist.


The astroturfing, the gaslighting was to suck in Conservatives so Moderate Republicans could be positioned as the good people or at the very least less offensive than the "radical, extreme" Democrats or Leftists ala Bernie Sanders or AOC etc. etc.


So along comes Tucker Carlson doing what Glenn Beck used to do but even more precise and to the point in his delivery of information and of explanation.


It should come as no surprise that Carlson would end up suffering the fate he did.



"Both political parties and their donors have reached consensus on what benefits them and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it.  Suddenly the United States looks very much like a one party state"


TUCKER CARLSON SPEAKS IN HIS VIDEO POST 4/26/2023...






So make no mistake the top 200 corporate executives of the Business Roundtable and the Chamber of Commerce elites the World Economic Forum Davos feeders want unity and conformity around the world to maximize the opportunity for profit and any truth that gets in the way be damned.



 The list of politicians funded by the people who fired Tucker Carlson is endless from Mitch McConnell to Chuck Schumer from Kevin McCarthy to Hakim Jeffries and down the line Lindsey Graham, Tim Scott and the list well we've only just begun but it's 90 percent or more of the folks who currently hold public office.


Fox News and MSNBC they want you to think those people are hot stuff one favoring Fakeservative Republicans the other Fakegressive Democrats.



God Bless Tucker Carlson he shined the light of truth on the fake news drama they both create each and every day.
