Consider this regime's openly hostile tactics: Corporate media is lying; The government is lying; The regime is lying

Among a significant number of other Americans, Damian Bennett ain't happy when he is being lied to.

Black Hawk Helo Wreaks Havoc On Civilian Hurricane Outpost, Raising Questions October 7, 2024

"Believe your eyes people! Believe what you see is happening!"

The pilots of what appears to be an unmarked Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter generated a massive downwash, also known as rotor wash, that sent tents and aid flying in all directions at a volunteer supply zone operated by private citizens in western North Carolina. This action by the helicopter pilots is up for debate, with many on X believing this was an intentional act of sabotage by the federal government.

There are no official statements by local, state, or federal governments about the incident. Flight tracking data shows that the Black Hawk is military-owned. "This is a United States Military Blackhawk. Squawk 6453, call sign: FURY147"

Here we are. The tendency is to give early reports the 'benefit of the doubt', to wait on 'developments'. [Pause; simmering, simmering.] But consider the actors. Consider this regime's openly hostile tactics. Consider the current state of chaos and anxiety of B-H-W campaign and its paymasters. Consider the natural botchitude of your government agencies. Consider the stream of complaints from the field by private citizens, local officials and responders reporting government inaction, ineffectiveness, interference, obstruction, restrictive compliance followed by ham-fisted threats of arrest -- the list goes on.

Corporate media is lying (viz. supra). The government is lying. The regime is lying. Believe the worst. You won't be far off.

Desmistificando Narrativas — One of this blog's pivotal posts (on Trump's alleged "baseless claims" about the 2020 election) appears in Portuguese: A Verdadeira História da Eleição de 2020

Over the past 10 months, I have been translating, or having translated, one of this blog's most important posts of the past 4 years, into some of the languages I know — indeed of the past 20 years, since the post addresses one of the biggest scams of the 21st century.

Namely, Let's Stop Using the Words "Trump Tried to Overturn the 2020 Election" (It's Unprofessional Journalism), which appeared on American Thinker on the second day of 2024, just in time for the January 6th anniversary (obrigado for the Instapundit link)… 

The post (or a shortened version thereof) is now in Portuguese, thanks to a handful of Brazilians I met at the CPAC event in February, among them Kitty Tavares de Melo, who serves as Publisher and Editora-Chefe of The Florida Review (“A Voz Brasileira nos EUA desde 1985”), where she was nice enough to write that "Sua abordagem nas análises políticas é marcada por uma mescla de rigor intelectual e acessibilidade." 

Why Brazilian/Portuguese periodicals in the USA (nos EUA)? There is a huge Brazilian diaspora in North America, mainly in the Sunshine State, and, indeed, that has led Kitty de Melo to starting a second periodical… Among the top articles in issue 6 of The Voz Insight (The Voice Insight) is Marcos Candeloro's The Legacy of Olavo de Carvalho, an economist who was Brazil's version of Thomas Sowell before his death, who was readily cancelled evermore for that reason after Lula's leftists won a first presidential victory and was forced to flee to the U.S., and who has been featured a number of times over the years on this blog…

Não passara! Without further ado, here is a shortened version of my January 2 post in Portuguese:
