White House Tenant (JFK) Attends 1962's Madison Square Garden Nazi Rally

 

In response to the Democrats' Nazi smear about Adolf Trump (whatever happened to Godwin's Law?!), a lot has been said about Bill Clinton and Al Gore's visit to the Madison Square Garden in the 1990s and indeed to Bill's wife Hillary visit to the venue around 2001. But Damian Bennett reminds us about an even bigger icon of the Donkey Party — the biggest, ever? — holding a Nazi rally there.

Overall I think the MSG rally was well executed. I kept thinking what a Herculean task to keep the show rolling to schedule. The MSG spotlight in front of a massive audience had more than one speaker find his/her larger oratorical self. The casting -- there were a few odd choices -- must have had something to do with the NY dynamic, speakers that hit some specific NY nerve. I can't really say as I've been out of the NY dynamic for so long. However there was one unexpected speaker:
 
Oh. Wait. That was President John F. Kennedy attending the 1962 Madison Square Garden Nazi Rally.
  • NYC Mayor [Eric Adams (D)] Says Trump Not A Fascist, Urges Politicians To 'Dial Down The Temperature' October 27, 2024
    “I know what Hitler has done, and I know what a fascist regime looks like. I think, as I have called for over and over again, that the level of conversation, I think we can all dial down the temperature,” Adams said at the conference in which he also detailed a significant police presence planned for Trump’s event at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan Sunday. He made the comment after Vice President Kamala Harris and her surrogates criticized Trump in recent days...
  • Worst. Nazi. Rally. Ever. October 27, 2024

T-V is teasing NY in play:
fivethirtyeight.com currently puts DJT's NY chances at 1%. I think the general plan is to deny H-W big NY numbers and fluff up T-V's national popular vote numbers. OK. But elsewhere...

Let's take stock. DOMINANCE, MOMENTUM, TIME -- all are on DJT's side. 
All the same tough 8 days ahead.
 Duncan adds that

It took me a while to get my jaw off the floor. What a pathetic smear. I don't think even the densest idiot wouldn't fall for that. The media claims sound like propaganda.

Thus writes our friend Duncan in response to take on Damian Bennett's take on Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden event and the following Democrats' Nazi smear. Earlier, Damian was writing about the Joe Rogan podcast:

The Trump sit-down on Rogan dropped yesterday -- 2:58:49 hours; 9,890,083 views (on YouTube alone).

Joe Rogan Experience #2219 - Donald Trump October 25, 2024

If you follow Trump there's not much new here. (Highlight reel at ZeroHedge.) Trump works the 'weave', but Rogan provides some needed 'herding cats' discipline to the conversation. It was a congenial conversation throughout (Rogan surprisingly passed on Operation Warp Speed) but nothing much new. (Wait a minute, what about eliminating the income tax? Nope, DJT had entertained this during his Bronx barbershop confab.) Yet. This was a very consequential event. Why? Aside from the massive audience reach of Rogan -- introducing DJT shed of negative media taints -- Trump on Rogan begs why NOT KA-mala on Rogan.
What's a girl to do? Go on Rogan and risk a hazardous long-form conversation OR not go on Rogan and forfeit the homestretch exposure?
Not Rogan. Instead, Beyoncé and CBS News. [Pause.] CBS. Yeah. That CBS News. 

Oh. About that Beyoncé thing.
Hhmmm. Fool me once...
Presidential campaigns serve two purposes: (1) to introduce the candidate and party policy slate; (2) to preview by analogy how well a candidate will run his/her presidency. H-W campaign is clinging to the consensus punditry calling this a close race. SOooo in the run-up crunch to the November vote you might think that H-W would be extra-special-super-tippy-toe careful about screw-ups and unforced errors. [Pause.] You might think. [Strap in. Skim alert!]
That's October. So far. [Pause.] Take note, the H-W campaign is a H-W presidency in miniature. Imagine the H-W campaign scaled up to the size of the United States presidency.

Interview on Radio Télévision Suisse About the Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump


After the first assassination attempt on Donald Trump, I was interviewed (in French) on July 14 by Coraline Pauchard on her Radio Télévision Suisse (RTS) Forum.

Money quote: When you call your opponent a fascist, a racist, or Adolf Hitler, then it becomes far from anormal for someone to attempt to get rid of said opponent through assassination or, in that perspective, through an attempt to cheat at elections so that Hitler does not become the Führer of America

Contrasting retail politicking of Trump with that of Harris: KA-mala is as remote a politicker as she is an unengaged VP

Besides reminding us that the Trump-Rogan Interview [is] Set For Friday, Damian Bennett has this to share:
There is probably no greater contrast between DJT and KA-mala than their retail politicking.
Contrast.
That's it, that's all I have for KA-mala retail politicking. I couldn't find a single story of KA-mala plunging into the hoi-polloi to press the flesh, chat unscripted, autograph H-W camo caps, or kiss babies. If you have one, please share, I'm keen to know. 

KA-mala is as remote a politicker as she is an unengaged VP.

Colin Kaepernick on Books for Children: "Kids are so impressionable, so it’s important to make sure we give them great and empowering books to read that help them lay a positive foundation"


You may agree with the letter and the spirit of what Colin Kaepernick (whose birthday is two days before the election) has to say, but you might have second thoughts and wince a mite (whatever the color of your skin) when you see the race-baitin' books that have most inspired him. In any case, because Colin Kaepernick has a new picture book out, the New York Times features an interview with the football quarterback in the paper's (By the) Book section. 

Business memoirs are at hand as he navigates a new role as the founder of a startup to “democratize storytelling.” Meanwhile he has co-written “We Are Free, You & Me,” an illustrated book for kids.

 … Why is writing for kids important to you?

Kids are so impressionable. What they are reading and absorbing at a young age will stay with them forever, so it’s important to make sure we give them great and empowering books to read that help them lay a positive foundation for the rest of their lives.

 … Which books or authors inspired you as an activist?

“The Autobiography of Malcolm X,” by Alex Haley, Malcolm X and Attallah Shabazz; “Revolutionary Suicide,” by Huey P. Newton; “The Wretched of the Earth” and “Black Skin, White Masks,” by Frantz Fanon; “Pedagogy of the Oppressed,” by Paulo Freire; “Black Awakening in Capitalist America,” by Robert L. Allen; “Women, Race and Class” and “Freedom Is a Constant Struggle,” by Angela Y. Davis; “I Write What I Like,” by Steve Biko; “Slave Patrols,” by Sally E. Hadden. These books are written by incredibly brilliant minds and provide research and perspective that is grounded in the liberation of oppressed people, specifically Black people.

Do you expect to write a memoir one day?

Yes. My graphic novel memoir, “Change the Game,” was my first, based on my high school years. I will write a complete memoir in the future.

You’re organizing a literary dinner party. Which three writers, dead or alive, do you invite?

James Baldwin, Alexandre Dumas and Toni Morrison.

There you have it: Also, Colin Kaepernick seems to have no interest in any author (in any human?) who ain't black.

Election 2024: Prepare for a November Surprise


While one of his friends echoes the following scenario —  

the FBI, no doubt, has a few patsies eager to be famous and take out Biden, Harris becomes President and declares [martial] law because of the potential for chaos...or some other lame excuse...and suspends the election.

— it isn't an October surprise that Damian Bennett (who warns that the Harris steal is now in earnest) is predicting regarding the Democrat Party, it is a  November surprise, only four or five days before the election.

On Friday November 1, Joe Biden [pick one]:
A. resigns the presidency to spend more time with his family;
B. resigns the presidency due to a medical emergency;
C. is double-couped by the 25A;
D. dies in office after lunching with HRC. 

Any of the above will elevate KA-mala to the presidency days before the national presidential election, checking all the many historic 'first' boxes:
first woman president;
first kinda black woman president;
first POC president for sure;
first president to install tampon dispensers in the WH executive water closet;
first president to task the vice president as bathroom czar, dispensing towels and stocking the tampon dispenser in the executive water closet (please, no tipping)
-- and so many more firsts, firsts beyond counting, superplural firsts.

Shall we discuss [in the comments section]?
My own pessimistic take is simply that a number of Democrats — first and foremost, the vice-president herself (if, per Damian Bennett, the newly-anointed president, she will no longer be among those who still have that power) — simply refuse to certify a GOP victory, as Rep. Jamie Raskin has suggested.


Indeed, Ed Driscoll has more: while asking the question, Will Kamala commit to certifying a Trump win?, Stephen L. Miller asserts that

All of [the Democrats'] moves seem to foreshadow several legal and political challenges to a Trump victory — and it will ultimately be up to Harris to rebuff them and carry out her constitutional duty of certifying a Trump victory. These comments from Harris allies, however, and the moves her own campaign is making are casting doubt on that process — and the country deserves a definitive answer before November 5.

Should Trump win the election [and didn't he do so in 2020?], we are sure to see a push from the Democratic Party and its allies in the media not to seat Donald Trump for a second and final term, invoking the insurrection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This would cause a constitutional crisis the likes of which the country has never seen and would likely involve the Supreme Court, which the media and Democrats have targeted repeatedly in the past. 

If Trump represents the unique threat to democracy the left continues to claim, and if they truly believe he is another Hitler in waiting, a dictator from day one, to what lengths would they go to keep him out of office?

Here is hoping that one of thethings that a Trump justice department will do is to start unearthing secret emails and phone conversations between Democrats for the past ten years or so…

The Latest Puzzle Pieces for the 2024 Election Jigsaw Picture: "the Harris steal is now in earnest"!

Although they make perfect sense, forecasts like this make Damian Bennett skeptical…

While trying to assemble the latest puzzle pieces in the big 2024 election jigsaw picture, Damian Bennett cannot exactly be described as optimistic: "the Harris steal is now in earnest"!

Forget the polls. If the polls are worth anything they are lagging indicators, third down in a manifest dynamic of momentum.

Trump has it. Harris doesn't.

The election isn't won yet, but we are in the late innings and once there is a momentum shift in the homestretch it proceeds like an avalanche. It is very very hard to outrun, cannot be stopped, and near impossible to reverse. There are a lot of recent puzzle pieces; let's fit them together into a big jigsaw picture.

THE FIRST INDICATOR is the legacy media. 


KA-mala has gotten bad press lately, not 'slanted' bad, 'baseline reporting' bad. Stories are now making the news unfiltered, unfluffed, sometimes as above-the-fold headlines. KA-mala can no longer be plausibly cosmeticized. The journos can either report nothing or chronicle the fading vibes, the souring joy.
The totally insane shills will hold out to the end and beyond (as in 2016); they cannot counter KA-mala's bad press with good press -- there is none -- so they will pump up the ear-bleeding volume on Orange Man Bad. But all the end-of-democracy, Hitler tropes -- no matter how loudly shilled -- have been so overused that -- unlike the COVID vaccine -- people are immunized to the shrill of the shill. A small sampling:
THE SECOND INDICATOR is the public episodes of unease and discord and whining among Democrats and the White House and the Harris campaign. 
The Biden coup was never an all-in team play. 
A great many Ds resent notching Harris to the top of the ticket uncontested; others know what everyone knows, KA-mala is as dumb as a box of rocks.

THE THIRD INDICATOR are the polls, where try as they might -- small survey pools, oversampling Ds, plumping the MOE -- are moving in one direction in favor of Trump. Wherever Harris is still ahead, her lead has dwindled from a month ago.
To everyone who says Harris has yet to reveal herself, that she is a shrewd political animal, a Brainiac hidden under a bushel, she is not. What she has shown is all that's there. She will not improve. I pray, fervently pray, pray on my knees, that she does the rumored Joe Rogan interview, that would be a humane but irremediable end to her campaign. Though that may be unnecessary after her Bret Baier interview tonight. 

(UPDATE: I watched the entire interview. TWICE. Spontaneous combustion is real. How bad was the combustion?
And this:
Her handlers will never risk her doing a 2-3 hour Rogan interview -- not without a kaishakunin at the ready.)

Elsewhere:
SO. What does Trump homestretch momentum mean? It means the Harris steal is now in earnest. 

Watch and see if there is a sort of quiet acknowledgement by the DNC and the media that the Harris campaign is a shipwreck, that Harris is a losing proposition -- AS LONG AS THEY CAN KEEP HER WITHIN 3 POINTS. That is the outermost margin for the steal. Almost all the polls are working on a 3pt+ MOE. So just as in 2020, we go to bed with Trump triumphant, and wake up to a squeaker where Harris ekes out the win.

In addition, Damian Bennett predicts a November surprise (stay tuned!) 

The betting markets are better predictors than the polls for trends. Among the different betting services there is rarely a big divide on how a race is trending, unlike the wild swings among the polls. If memory serves, DJT was up in the betting markets in 2020. But lost. Lost because robbed. Lost because of the steal. No one thought to bet the steal.

What I like about October is poll tidy-up. Whereas through September polls have their thick meaty thumbs on the scale for particular candidates, trying to create momentum where none exists, trying to shore up undynamic candidates, trying to sink unpreferred candidates, trying to clinch for preferred candidates... 
...BUT come October everybody needs to get in line with reality or risk reputation and cred. In 2016 they got in the wrong line. In 2020 they broke for Trump in the homestretch, only to be busted by the steal. Now we're seeing those 2-3 MOE polling points shifting to DJT, but not so fast on the 5-7% lead he actually has. Time will tell. Certainly time will tell November 5.

French Television and the 2024 Election: The Destiny of the World Is at Stake


Two members of the Republicans in France group participated in a televised debate by geopolitique-profonde.com. For 47 minutes on its GPTV network, Paul Reen and Philippe Karsenty debated the subject of TRUMP VS HARRIS : LE DESTIN DU MONDE EST EN JEU.

À l'approche de [la campagne électorale américaine de 2024], les enjeux sont plus élevés que jamais. D'un côté, Donald Trump, candidat républicain emblématique, continue de marteler son message de "Make America Great Again", en se concentrant sur des politiques nationalistes et un discours centré sur l'indépendance des États-Unis sur la scène internationale. De l'autre, Kamala Harris, représentant les démocrates, cherche à convaincre les Américains de l'importance de la justice sociale, de la diversité et de la poursuite des réformes amorcées sous l'administration Biden.

FAFO + WWIII = Free Posters for the 2024 Election

In view of the dangers of World War III and its attendant nuclear holocaust, thanks to the Joe Biden administration, our ol' friend Damian Bennett has a few posters to offer (free of charge) to anybody who wants to download them (or for that matter, simply upvote them). In addition to his GOTV (Get Out To Vote) posters, check out his new ones.

With less than a month to the election I waited to post these 'issues' posters at Bēhance so all candidates and all parties had a fair shot to weigh in. Alas, I couldn't tell if Team Harris has taken any policy positions but can wait no longer.  

The three posters skew toward how I see things, but are passably nonpartisan, YMMV -- except to the neocons who are dead set to burn the world down.
I am not an alarmist, but has no one noticed the slow walk into WWIII has gone from nudges to shoves. [Pause to notice.] 
Is the political class gone mad? Global war, which defaults to nuclear war, is not winnable. It solves nothing. It is global self-murder. Even — silence please — even the rich will suffer! The RICH! For pity’s sake. The humanity!

The original full-resolution art files (11"x17"@300dpi) can be downloaded for free here at Bēhance. If inclined, please give the big blue 'thumbs up' button a click. Please share the link with friends and acquaintances to provoke awareness of, research into, and discussion on the issues. While over there, check out the GOTV 2024 poster (also free download) and click through the other galleries, which reduces my invisibility and boosts my near-visibility on Bēhance -- as always, your clickety-clicks are much appreciated.
Reminder: Don't forget Damian Bennett's GOTV (Get Out To Vote) posters…

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


Like a significant number of other Americans, Damian Bennett ain't happy when he is being lied to.
Double shot of tanglefoot:
Puking:

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


It is easier for the world to accept
a simple lie than a complex truth
— Alexis de Tocqueville

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 '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…

Also check out the blog Swimming Against the Red Tide…

Não passara! Without further ado, here is a shortened version of my January 2 post in Portuguese (which later appeared in French and in Danish):

GOP Spokesman on French TV Tears Apart the Preconceived Ideas Dominating in France


One of the spokesmen for the Republicans in France (RIF) group was a guest on the France TV station, where he dutifully proceeded to tear apart the preconceived ideas that the French élites and media all French people.

As Philippe Karsenty later said,

What I say about Israel, the U.S., Hamas, Villepin and so many other subjects, you will not hear it anywhere else. Maybe I will not be invited back on the sets after this but at least it will have been said once on French TV.
Notice notably at around 33:00 when his female neighbor, Laurence Haïm, says that Trump wants "to deport" the illegal aliens. Karsenty springs immediately into action, saying that while the verb indeed chosen by Trump himself may not mean anything to Americans, in France the context is to the expulsion of the Jews in the 1940s to German death camps, and thus yet another weasel attempt to portray Trump as a Nazi or a fascist (a demonization which is the reason for the former president being the subject of two murder attempts). In French, therefore, we should use the verb "to expulse". To which USA expert André Kaspi agrees.
Ce que j'y dis sur Israël, les USA, le Hamas, Villepin et tant d'autres, vous ne l'entendrez nulle part ailleurs. Peut-être ne serai-je plus invité sur les plateaux après cela mais au moins cela aura été dit une fois à la télé française.

Why Are Statistics Like a Bikini? MSM Outlet's Misleading Stats About Migrants Is Debunked


Why are statistics are like a bikini? Do you know the answer? It is because they reveal a lot but hide the essential. 

A reader from Taiwan corrects The Economist's leftist "nuanced" "perspective", i.e., its "Don't worry, be happy" contention about immigration, legal or otherwise (the magazine rarely, if ever, notices the difference), being about little more than hysteria. 

In the wake of the weekly's cover editorial stating that the Democrats' "overriding task is to defeat Mr Trump, and it is a vital one in which guile and cunning are permitted", here is exactly what the once great weekly newspaper claimed:

Fear has curdled rich-world politics. A man who once advocated banning the Koran could be the next Dutch prime minister. Britain’s Conservative Party is trampling on constitutional norms to try to send asylum-seekers on a one-way trip to Rwanda. Donald Trump tells hollering crowds that unlawful immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country”.

Some perspective is in order. The vast majority of people who migrate do so voluntarily and without drama. For all the talk of record numbers and unprecedented crisis, the share of the world’s people who live outside their country of birth is just 3.6%; it has barely changed since 1960, when it was 3.1%. The numbers forcibly displaced fluctuate wildly, depending on how many wars are raging, but show no clear long-term upward trend. 

Chia-Hui Lin explains why The Economist's statistics about 3.1% rising to a mere 3.6% are misleading:

Measuring migrant numbers

“How to detoxify migration politics” (December 23rd) was a thought-provoking piece on an important issue. However, the statistic you cited on international migrants didn’t capture the true growth of this population. In 1960 3.1% of people lived outside their country of birth, you said, and today it is 3.6%, a figure that has “barely changed”. That may be true, but the global population has grown more rapidly from 1960 to the present day. So for context, in 1960, there were approximately 75m international migrants and in 2021 there were 281m, an increase of 275%. This is an alternative measure that may help us appreciate the scale of the migration issue more comprehensively.

Chia-Hui Lin
Taipei, Taiwan

A rise from 3.1% to "just 3.6%" is the MSM outlet's claim — when in reality the rise turns out to be from 3.1% to (wait for it)… 275%! Either the gatekeepers are deliberately misleading or they are brainless — in any case, one more reason to despise them…
