NC Renegades

By Brandon Smith

In multiple articles I have published recently I outlined why an attempt at a new national covid lockdown in the US is inevitable. In my article ‘The Real Reasons Why Millions Of Americans Will Defy Covid Mandates And Vaccines’, I examined new polling numbers which show that a vast portion of the US population is refusing to comply with medical controls. The bottom line is this: Covid is a non-threat to 99.7% of the public, and the citizenry is getting wise to this fact. However, there are certain people that NEED the pandemic lockdowns to continue regardless of what the public wants.

The Biden Administration and its globalist handlers have BIG plans for the next few years, and all of it relies on pandemic fears and totalitarian restrictions.

The “Great Reset”, as Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum calls it, is never going to happen unless global populations are locked down and placed under control. Unconstitutional pieces of legislation that undermine or destroy the 2^nd Amendment, like HR 127, will be impossible to enact if Americans are organized and unified to resist. Carbon taxation and “shared economy” policies will never be allowed to touch ground. Conservative Americans and many moderates will stamp out such measures like cockroaches within their own states. Law enforcement agencies in most areas would have no interest in being used as cannon fodder to enforce them.

The only option the globalists have at this stage is to barrel forward with the pandemic narrative despite the fact that Covid has turned out to be a hollow issue with a death rate of 0.26% outside of nursing home patients. At least half the country is ready to revolt over the mandates, and almost half the country is refusing to take the vaccines or accept medical passports. That is millions of people that are laughing in the face of the Reset agenda.

So, the question for the thwarted globalists is this: How do they turn their conservative enemies into unwitting allies? What is a 4^th Generation warfare solution to their problem? How do they get a larger number of conservatives to support their own enslavement through the lockdown mandates?

Well, one method would be to cause a convincing distraction that compels conservatives to embrace the notion of the lockdowns as an acceptable sacrifice in exchange for dealing with a potentially more dangerous problem.

The crisis of mass illegal immigration is turning into a growing national debate right now. I suspect we haven’t even begun to see the consequences yet, and I also suspect that there is a plot hidden within these events. But let’s look at the surface arguments first…

Obviously, most conservatives are going to view a huge influx of illegals into the US as a means for Democrats to secure elections for decades to come. I’m sure most people reading this article are aware of the “Cloward Piven Strategy”, and I won’t delve into it too much here except to say that I get it, and I realize it’s a problem; it’s just not the biggest problem that conservatives should be worried about right now.

Bayou Renaissance Man:

When one looks at the “signs of the times”, one can’t help but wonder how long it’s going to be before our political and social and cultural structures simply melt down under the strain.  The progressive left is bound and determined to force our entire society into conformity with their vision of how things should be – and a growing number of Americans are equally bound and determined not to allow that, and not to bend the knee to political correctness.  The irresistible force is close to headlong collision with the immovable object.

What do I mean by those “signs of the times”?  Try these examples, to name but a few.

• The chorus of anti-white propaganda.  Example:  “Whiteness is a public health crisis. It shortens life expectancies, it pollutes air, it constricts equilibrium, it devastates forests, it melts ice caps, it sparks (and funds) wars, it flattens dialects, it infests consciousnesses, and it kills people—white people and people who are not white, my mom included. There will be people who die, in 2050, because of white supremacy-induced decisions from 1850.”  If whites were to make such claims about any other racial or ethnic group, there’d be widespread condemnation;  but when the opposite occurs . . . crickets.
• The educational establishment is now Propaganda Central to brainwash our kids – and cut out parents from the educational process.  Example:  “A group of current and former teachers and others in Loudoun County, Virginia, compiled a lengthy list of parents suspected of disagreeing with school system actions, including its teaching of controversial racial concepts — with a stated purpose in part to ‘infiltrate’, use ‘hackers’ to silence parents’ communications, and ‘expose these people publicly’ … Their opponents were apparently those who objected to, sought to debate, or were even simply ‘neutral’ about ‘critical race theory’.”
• Steps by the Biden administration to destroy the mainstays of the US economy in a blatant attempt to implement elements of the so-called “Green New Deal”.  Gun Free Zone sums up the situation and concludes, “I’m no[t] sure how violence is not inevitable.  This isn’t something that gets fixed with an election.  I can’t see how this won’t end anyway but badly.”
• Growing court-supported evidence that in several key states, government officials abused their positions and deliberately flouted the law in ways that at least influenced the November 2020 elections, if not effectively handed them to the Democratic Party.  Try Michigan and Georgia for quick examples, and watch the progress of the Maricopa County vote audit in Arizona.  That has the potential to overturn the results of the Presidential and senatorial elections in that state, if the state government will take up the matter.
• The persecution of activists who took part in the January 6th demonstration (which was not a “violent insurrection”, no matter what politicians or the news media may say) in Washington D.C.  Most were simply present, not active participants;  but they’re being pursued by the FBI and federal investigators as if they’re all domestic terrorists.  Nothing could be further from the truth – but that hasn’t stopped the partisan politically-motivated investigations.  Meanwhile, charges against those who attacked and tried to burn down the Federal court building in Portland, OR are being quietly dismissed – because they’re on the side of the powers that be.  Prosecutorial bias, much?
• There are so many other examples that I could go on forever, but those above will do for now.  More and more are emerging on a daily basis.

 As a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence perpetrated on March 16, 2021, in the Atlanta Metropolitan area, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, March 22, 2021.  I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighteenth day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-one, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fifth.

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
     Section 1.  Policy.  Advancing gender equity and equality is a matter of human rights, justice, and fairness.  It is also a strategic imperative that reduces poverty and promotes economic growth, increases access to education, improves health outcomes, advances political stability, and fosters democracy.  The full participation of all people — including women and girls — across all aspects of our society is essential to the economic well-being, health, and security of our Nation and of the world.  
     It is therefore the policy of my Administration to establish and pursue a comprehensive approach to ensure that the Federal Government is working to advance equal rights and opportunities, regardless of gender or gender identity, in advancing domestic and foreign policy — including by promoting workplace diversity, fairness, and inclusion across the Federal workforce and military.  This order is intended to advance gender equity and equality, with sensitivity to the experiences of those who suffer discrimination based on multiple factors, including membership in an underserved community. 
     Sec. 2.  The White House Gender Policy Council.  (a)  There is established a White House Gender Policy Council (Council) within the Executive Office of the President.

          (xi)    implement United States Government commitments to women’s involvement in peace and security efforts; and
          (xii)   recognize the needs and contributions of women and girls in humanitarian crises and in development assistance.
     (c)  The Council shall work across executive departments and agencies (agencies) to advance gender equity and equality and provide a coordinated Federal response on issues that have a distinct impact on gender equity and equality.  The Council shall also work with each agency to ensure that agency operations are conducted in a manner that promotes gender equity and equality, to the extent permitted by law.  
     (d)  The Council shall provide legislative and policy recommendations to the President, evaluate other proposed policies and legislation for their potential impact on issues of gender equity and equality, propose improvement in the collection of data related to gender and gender identity, and suggest changes to Federal programs or policies to address issues of significance to women and girls.

     Sec. 7.  General Provisions.  (a)  Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i)   the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or

THE WHITE HOUSE,
March 8, 2021.

North Carolina’s largest school district has launched a campaign against “whiteness in educational spaces” and is encouraging teachers to subvert parents to push “antiracism” directly onto students without their consent.

The anti-white racism is taking place in the Wake County Public School System, which serves the greater Raleigh area.

In a shocking Twitter thread by journalist Christopher Rufo, he explained that last year the district held a teachers’ conference with lessons on “whiteness,” “toxic masculinity,” “microaggressions,” “trauma-informed yoga,” and “applied critical race theory.”

…

The conference also discussed parents as being a problem for pushing their brainwashing onto the youth.

“The district claims that parents are an impediment to social justice. They said that ‘white parents’ children are benefiting from the system’ and are ‘not learning at home about diversity (LGBTQ, race, etc.).’ White parents find it ‘hard to let go of power [and] privilege,’” he explained.

Why won’t America stand up for herself? What would have put millions in the street only a generation ago, barely holds our attention anymore. Why is the country, once a country which possessed courage and conviction , now sitting idly while allowing itself to be taken to the slaughter without so much as a whimper? Many psychologists including myself, believe the root of answer is globalist-induced learned helplessness. 

1. America has lost almost 60% of its small businesses with no end sight in the midst of lockdown procedures which did nothing to mitigate the spread of a virus.
2. Small businesses were assassinated by the government in favor of box store, campaign-giving box stores that experienced record profits.
3. The First Amendment is dead in America. Any political opposition is met with allegations of racism and the deplatforming and the loss of jobs happens to people who date question anything.
4. America has witnessed the biggest book burning exercise since the Nazis did it almost 90 years with social media censorship. Remember, where they burn books, they will soon burn people.
5. It is now considered racism to put America first above any globalism.
6. It is now considered racism to play chess with black and white pieces. Social media sites for chess are being banned for this reason.
7. It is now considered racism to support the Constitution.
8. It is now considered racism to be White and not admit that one is a racist.
9. The recently passed stimulus bill contains a loan provision that enables a farmer to obtain 120% of a requested federal load. However, White people need not apply. One is now considered a racist if one questions the racism contained the Democratic Party created law.
10. It is both xenophobic and racists to ask for Covid health screenings at the border as an estimated 40,000 covid positive illegal immigrants have been released into the United States. And this is happening while much of the country’s citizens is still having their activities limited including the right to travel.
11. The airlines are in the process of requiring mandatory vaccinations to fly, but illegal immigrants are increasingly being granted access to the country without restrictions. It is now considered racist to highlight this hypocrisy.
12. A mother of a six-year-old had her child taken away because she dropped off her kid without wearing a facemask.
13. The Democrats will not America be safer by the construction of the Wall. However, the Democrats can have a wall of their own surrounding DC along with their estimated 60,000 bodyguards paid at taxpayers expense.
14. Bill Gates is insisting that we consume no meat and get out protein from eating bugs. The noise is deafening.
15. Under the present administration the entire planet would be allowed to migrate to America and be granted entry and eventual citizenship.
16. The stealers of the 2020 election are putting into law their election thieving ways in bills like HR 1. No election is safe.
17.  America did very little as the election was stolen. Key Republicans did even less.
18. During the scamdemic, we allowed our houses of worship to be closed. Where’s Spartabus when you need him.
19. Schools were closed, youth suicide skyrocketed as did drug abuse for all ages.
20. The Chinese dictate what you can and cannot watch on TV.
21. The Chicoms are using MS-13 to assassinate people who dare speak about CHICOM election-theft payoffs to key officials in Arizona and Georgia.
22. Given his past history, Biden will undoubtedly try to hand total control of the country to China, we are almost there.
23. The left has announced their intentions to take you guns. Do you know the history and pattern of 20^th century genocide? It might behoove you to research this question and then you will realize how much danger you are really in.
24. Your kids have no future in tomorrow’s economy. The economy is being systematically destroyed. The auto industry is down 5%. Your manufacturing jobs will be leaving soon. Retail collapsed in February. Online sales is dramatically less in the first two weeks of March. The economic collapse is underway.
25. There are no plans to return to normal. We are seeing strategic retreats, but so-called mutant strains will for another kill-shot lockdown.

These 25 items are merely a small sample size for what is and what’s coming! Why has this happened? There are a variety of social psychological reasons behind America’s passivity. However, the one that jumps to the head of the class is a concept called “learned helplessness.”

“Learned Helplessness” as discovered by Martin Seligman.   “Learned helplessness” occurs when an animal is repeatedly subjected to an aversive stimulus that it cannot escape. Eventually, the animal will stop trying to avoid the stimulus and behave as if it is utterly helpless to change the situation. Even when opportunities to escape are presented, this learned helplessness will prevent any action”

Joe Biden is calling on preachers and priests to propagate the gene therapies that the ruling class is labeling “vaccines” in order to get it into the systems of more people. At the same time, Dr. Anthony Fauci is calling on Donald Trump to promote the vaccine to his supporters who are skeptics.

The propagation campaign has only just begun. Fauci has begged Trump to promote the vaccine in order to get his supporters to line up for these gene therapies.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the media-adored government expert on all things coronavirus, said former president Trump could have a huge impact by encouraging his supporters to get vaccinated. “I think it would make all the difference in the world,” Fauci told Fox News anchor Chris Wallace according to a report by RT. “He’s a very widely popular person among Republicans.”

One day later, Biden said that doctors and preachers need to be the ones to talk the public into getting the gene therapy for a disease they don’t have that in all likelihood won’t kill them if they do get it.  “The thing that has more impact than anything Trump would say to the MAGA folks is what the local doctor, what the local preacher, what the local people in the community say,” Biden said on Monday of the advice he’s getting from staffers. “So I urge all local docs and ministers and priests to talk about why, why it’s important to get that vaccine, and even after that until everyone is, in fact, vaccinated, to wear this mask.”

When you are at the table with some of the top criminal profilers in the world, talking about industrial scale election fraud, you do more listening than talking.  And the listening was interesting.  The profilers have zero interest in U.S. elections.  Two of them did not vote and had unflattering opinions about both presidential candidates.  Their comments were most insightful because they saw the current questions about election fraud so differently than the American media.

To them, 2020 election fraud was an industrial level crime.  It was of such magnitude that it moved from the category of an election crime to a sovereign crime.

Sovereign crime.  It does have a ring to it.

Sovereign crime is not something we see a lot of in America as our governmental institutions are generally not organized to commit, support or hide a crime. 

Most Americans have never seen an organized crime take place, in plain view, supported by or covered up by governmental institutions.  But it happens all the time around the world, even in some countries that are quite Westernized.

Sovereign crime means your government was a participant, active or passive, enabling vote fraud.

Confirmation of what we already know. The fix was tested in previous elections. The fix was in the 2020 elections (plural) and the fix will be in until the country collapses. TINVOWOOT. But some people still believe in free elections because they cannot accept these simple facts.

My best guess is that a world war will break out that will be used to unite the people against a common foreign (instead of domestic) enemy. The traitors know their time is limited and have their plan Bs in place. A foreign attack on the country where the “leadership” and military have deserted our country’s national security will leave us defenseless.

What would you do if you knew the game was up and your monetary “rewards” were secure offshore? It really never mattered if the people rose up; the only people left are the ones who will have to rebuild from the ashes.
