The Biden administration gave CBS access to our military personnel and a critical command center. The 60 Minutes segment airing Sunday night released secret defense strategies that helped save the lives of our troops under President Trump in 2020. This secret is now in the wind making it nearly impossible to be useful again.
In early January of 2020, Iran was readying missiles and targeting a U.S air base in Iraq. This was Iran’s response to the killing of terrorist Qasem Soleimani six days earlier. However, the U.S. military was monitoring Iran’s purchase of commercially available satellite images. Shortly after Iran’s last image upload for the day, Marine General Frank McKenzie ordered the evacuation of troops from the Al-Assad air base. Helicopters, drones, other aircraft and assets were also moved. Iran was not aware they were targeting what had become essentially an empty base.
Click on the menu icon in the lower left if using Linux Mint Cinnamon, and type Virtualbox – it should come up as Oracle VM Virtualbox Manager. Once open, click New at the top.
From the screenshot, you can see we selected Ubuntu 64 Bit as the OS (this is what Linux Mint is based upon). You may only get an option to install 32 bit OS’s… if this happens, do a quick search on DuckDuckGo on how to set up your system to run 64 bit Virtual Machines… you will find a solution based on your current OS that the Virtual Machine is operating within. Follow the prompts… I suggest a minimum of 2GB of memory, and preferably 4GB (that is 4096 MB). It will ask you to create a Virtual Machine… select create and use the default selections. Next you will ask how big to make the Virtual Hard Disk. 10GB is selected, but this will not be enough to install the OS… change to 20GB… when you need more it will allocate more space automatically.
Now it’s time to start the Virtual Machine. Click Start, where you will see a screen asking you to select the start-up disk. Click the folder icon to the right of the Host Drive VBOX CD-ROM, and navigate to the folder where your Linux Mint ISO file is located (probably Downloads).
Select it, and finish by selecting Start. Best suggestion is to watch it count down and start automatically. If all goes well you should see the Linux Mint Logo as your system boots into the ISO. Be patient… it takes a few minutes to load from the virtual DVD.
Double click on Install Linux Mint. If you’re already running Linux Mint as your main operating system, it will be the same as your initial installation. If you’re running Windows, a Mac, or some other flavor of Linux, simply follow the prompts.
Go ahead and select the box to install multimedia codecs… you’ll likely want them in the future, and better to just install them now.
The next screen is kind of scary… it will ask you if you want to erase the disk and install Linux Mint. Don’t worry, it will be installing it on your virtual drive that you created earlier. Select that for simplicity, and click Install Now. Select your time zone, or choose a random time zone, select your name and a strong password, and complete the installation. Once finished, it will ask you if you wish continue testing, or restart. Select restart, and you will be good to go. It will ask you to remove the installation medium, then press enter. Just press enter.
One more thing that you can do that may be helpful, is install the Guest Additions once you have rebooted. This will give you more options for screen size. The way to do this is select Devices in the menu bar at the top of the Virtual Machine window, and click Insert Guest Additions CD Image.
Before you do anything else, enable the firewall. Left click on the menu in the lower left corner, and type firewall. The Firewall Configuration will come up… select it. It will require you to enter your password. Set to enable, and choose DENY for Incoming. ALLOW for outgoing is fine. Close the window.
Next step is to perform all of the updates. Because this is a new install, there will be a lot of them. Be patient, you’re almost ready to set up your TOR Server. To perform the updates, look for the badge in the lower right corner with an orange dot on it. Click that, and it will bring up your update panel. Again, follow the prompts. It may ask you if you want to switch to a local mirror. You can do this if you wish, but “local” will be wherever your VPN server is located (you are running the VPN now, right?)
Another option to update your system is to use the terminal. Ouch! What did he say? It’s easy. The terminal is in the lower left corner with a couple of other panel applets. Mouse over them until the word terminal shows up, and click on that, or you can select CTRL+ALT+T to open it. A gray screen (don’t worry, you can customize that later, just like everything else in Linux Mint) will come up with the name of your server and a blinking cursor.
Type the following:
sudo apt update
It will ask you for your password… enter it… it will show up as asterisks. Now you will see how many packages can be updated. Update them all.
We’ll do this by entering the following:
sudo apt upgrade
You will face a screen with a lot of updates, and it you ask you if you want to continue. Type the letter Y for yes
Time for another cup of coffee.
Now you can watch the progress. Once this is complete, restart your computer. You can either do this by selecting the menu icon in the lower left and selecting quit, or typing sudo reboot in the terminal.
This is good practice for you to become accustomed to using the terminal. It’s not difficult, and there are thousands of tutorials online if you ever get lost, or simply want to learn more.
Stay Tuned for PART THREE. If you wish to see the entire article, it is available on our hidden website AT THIS LINK. Note… this link will not work in a normal browser. You will need to use the TOR Browser, or you can open it by using one of the following browsers, copying the link, and opening a New Private Window with TOR by selecting SHIFT+ALT+N: Brave Browser, Chromium, Chrome or the Dissenter Browser, which is supported by Gab.com. If you already currently use one of these browsers, try right-clicking on the link and selecting Open link in a private window with TOR.
Except for the single limitation that the consent of Congress must be obtained, the original inherent sovereign rights of the states to make compacts with each other was not surrendered under the Constitution.2270 “The Compact,” as the Supreme Court has put it, “adapts to our Union of sovereign States the age-old treaty-making power of independent sovereign nations.”2271 In American history, the compact technique can be traced back to the numerous controversies that arose over the ill-defined boundaries of the original colonies. These disputes were usually resolved by negotiation, with the resulting agreement subject to approval by the Crown.2272 When the political ties with Britain were broken, the Articles of Confederation provided for appeal to Congress in all disputes between two or more states over boundaries or “any cause whatever”2273 and required the approval of Congress for any “treaty confederation or alliance” to which a state should be a party.2274
The Framers of the Constitution went further. By the first clause of this section they laid down an unqualified prohibition against “any treaty, alliance or confederation,” and by the third clause they required the consent of Congress for “any agreement or compact.” The significance of this distinction was pointed out by Chief Justice Taney in Holmes v. Jennison:2275 “[A]s these words [‘agreement’ and ‘compact’] could not have been idly or superfluously used by the framers of the constitution, they cannot be construed to mean the same thing with the word treaty. They evidently mean something more, and were designed to make the prohibition more comprehensive. . . . The word ‘agreement,’ does not necessarily import any direct and express stipulation; nor is it necessary that it should be in writing. If there is a verbal understanding, to which both parties have assented, and upon which both are acting, it is an ‘agreement.’ And the use of all of these terms, ‘treaty,’ ‘agreement,’ ‘compact,’ show that it was the intention of the framers of the constitution to use the broadest and most comprehensive terms; and that they anxiously desired to cut off all connection or communication between a state and a foreign power; and we shall fail to execute that evident intention, unless we give to the word ‘agreement’ its most extended signification; and so apply it as to prohibit every agreement, written or verbal, formal or informal[,] positive or implied, by the mutual understanding of the parties.”2276 But, in Virginia v. Tennessee,2277 decided more than a half century later, the Court shifted position, holding that the unqualified prohibition of compacts and agreements between states without the consent of Congress did not apply to agreements concerning such minor matters as adjustments of boundaries, which have no tendency to increase the political powers of the contracting states or to encroach upon the just supremacy of the United States. Adhering to this later understanding of the clause, the Court found no enhancement of state power in relation to the Federal Government through entry into the Multistate Tax Compact, and thus sustained the agreement among participating states without congressional consent.2278
Subject Matter of Interstate Compacts
For many years after the Constitution was adopted, boundary disputes continued to predominate as the subject matter of agreements among the states. Since the turn of the twentieth century, however, the interstate compact has been used to an increasing extent as an instrument for state cooperation in carrying out affirmative programs for solving common problems.2279 The execution of vast public undertakings, such as the development of the Port of New York by the Port Authority created by compact between New York and New Jersey, flood control, the prevention of pollution, and the conservation and allocation of water supplied by interstate streams, are among the objectives accomplished by this means. Another important use of this device was recognized by Congress in the act of June 6, 1934,2280 whereby it consented in advance to agreements for the control of crime. The first response to this stimulus was the Crime Compact of 1934, providing for the supervision of parolees and probationers, to which most of the states have given adherence.2281 Subsequently, Congress has authorized, on varying conditions, compacts touching the production of tobacco, the conservation of natural gas, the regulation of fishing in inland waters, the furtherance of flood and pollution control, and other matters. Moreover, many states have set up permanent commissions for interstate cooperation, which have led to the formation of a Council of State Governments, the creation of special commissions for the study of the crime problem, the problem of highway safety, the trailer problem, problems created by social security legislation, and the framing of uniform state legislation for dealing with some of these.2282
WHERE did the federal government come from? It was CREATED by the Constitution.
WHO ratified the Constitution? WE THE PEOPLE, acting through special ratifying conventions called in each of the States. So it was The People of each State who ratified the federal Constitution for their State.
So the federal government is merely the “creature” of the Constitution and is completely subject to its terms.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to have a correct understanding of the relation between the federal government and The People unless you understand that the federal government is merely the “creature” of the Constitution. It is not a party to it. The STATES are the parties to the constitutional compact (contract).
THIS is why James Madison said, in his Report of 1799 to the Virginia Legislature on the Virginia Resolutions of 1798, under his discussion of the 3rd Resolution, that THE STATES, as the creators of the federal government, are the final authority on whether their creature has violated the compact THE STATES MADE WITH EACH OTHER. The constitutional compact is between the Sovereign States. The federal government is merely the “creature” of that compact.
That is why the States have the natural right to NULLIFY unconstitutional acts of their “creature”, the federal government.
But our “creature”, the federal government, has taken the bizarre position that the Constitution means whatever THEY say it means.
Oh, do they need smacking down! Does the creature dictate to its creator?
I never followed CPAC since it was mainly another GOP pep rally. Without Donald Trump, the Republican party has nothing. Look at their all star lineup: Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Mike Pence, Bill Barr, Elaine Chao and Liz Cheney.
There should only be one topic at CPAC: how to overturn the fraudulent 2020 Presidental and 2021 Georgia elections. Any corollaries should address voter verification and penalties for voter fraud/intimidation.
Period.
The rest is just a sugar coating of cheerleaders whose mantra is “we will get them next time”. Unfortunately this past election was the last time.

I left out Lindsey Graham and the traitor John McCain.
I originally posted this article on my Hidden Website accessible through the TOR network. This will be a tutorial on how to set up your own Hidden Service, accessible via TOR, either as a standalone website, or as a mirror to your “light web” site. Please understand that this article was written as a response to the profound censorship we are now experiencing on virtually every platform, and setting up your own “dark web” site allows you to circumvent being shut down by your web host, as has happened to a great many conservative sites, and keep your information up and online even if an unconstitutional entity seizes your domain name. This tutorial is intended for people to set up TOR sites, which use the .onion domain, for good and constructive purposes, as is not intended to help anyone engage in illegal activity. This is about preserving free speech during these very uncertain times. You can also see this article on the TOR Browser, and the easiest way to do this, rather than post the entire massively long url, is to go to https://tinyurl.com/hammersthor and navigate to the Communications tab. This link will not open in Firefox, but you can open it in either the TOR Browser, or by selecting (in Chrome, Brave or Dissenter Browser) SHIFT+ALT+N and pasting the link.
PART ONE The party of tolerance has made it very clear that they intend to deplatform, censor and silence conservatives. If we don’t act proactively, eventually they will succeed. We believed that they would not take down President Trump with a stolen election, and they have. We believed that justice would be served, and that the deep state, and everything it represents, would finally, FINALLY pay for their crimes against the American people, face the music for their treachery, and be held accountable for their treason.
We believed it. Many Americans believed it. But evidently not enough. Now, those in power, along with those who have come back into power, will do everything possible to silence dissent. This is what communists do. This is what communism is.
So, you already know this. Everyone knows this. Now it is time to push forward with alternatives, since the kingmakers will not permit us to speak against them on their platforms. This is fine. In fact, this is actually excellent, because it removes the shackles of our own ignorance and allows us to learn how to circumvent their rule and live free. That is what we’re going to learn in this three-part series.
Your computer is a very powerful weapon of information against those who seek to silence us. Now it’s time to learn how to use it. This will be a tutorial on how to set up your own hidden-service website/blog, that cannot be taken down by your web host, because YOU are the web host. Your domain name cannot be seized by powerful government forces because it is not registered with ICANN. This is what is known as a dark web website, accessible through the TOR Browser network. Even tracing the signal to your computer will be very, very difficult, and you are going to keep a backup of it, to be installed elsewhere, in case they somehow do trace it back to your computer (remember, it is perfectly legal to set up a dark web website, you just should never use it for illegal activities). We will detail the steps to do this, and if you follow them correctly (don’t worry, it’s so easy a caveman can do it) you will have your website up in a matter of a couple of hours. Even if you’ve never built a web page before, you will be able to do this, and as you create it, refine it, and hone your skills, you will also be speaking your mind, sharing your ideas, and building a community of like-minded individuals working together, in a decentralized fashion, to bring the truth, and freedom, to everyone.
Protecting Your Computer
The first step is critical. This tutorial should be followed in the order presented. Some assumptions will be made, but no matter what kind of system you use, you should very easily be able to have your website up in short order. It is essential you have a notebook and pen to make some notes as you perform the steps, so you can easily repeat them when it is time to update your site, add new content, etc.
It is advisable to use a stationary, desktop computer for this purpose. No matter what kind of operating system, or OS you use, whether it is Windows, Mac or Linux, you should be connecting to the internet through a VPN. This is a bit of software that encrypts your internet signal and makes it difficult to impossible for either your ISP, or bad actors to intercept your internet traffic and see what you are doing online. This is especially important to protect your identity and your finances, but also to guard against spying on your activity. No doubt you have seen several VPN ads lately on TV, or listening to various podcasts. There are many companies to select from, and you might consider NordVPN and ProtonVPN. These are paid services, but generally quite affordable. Both NordVPN and ProtonVPN (a division of Protonmail) are hosted outside the United States, so they aren’t subject to the same disclosure laws as US-based VPN providers. This is one case (of very few) where “Made in America” is not better. Check out their websites, linked above, and subscribe to one of their services (or another based upon your research). Even if you never set up your own TOR website, you absolutely should encrypt your internet activity with a VPN in place. Even more important, be sure to set the “kill-switch” offered by these services, which will completely disable your internet connection in the event the VPN server goes down, thus keeping you protected… the reason for this is you may not know immediately if the server has gone down and your signal has reverted to your visible ip address.
Setting up a Virtual Machine
This step is not absolutely necessary, but strongly recommended, provided your computer has enough memory. Most computers have at least 4GB of RAM, but 8 would be better. This needs to be set up on a computer that you will leave on all the time, since you will want your TOR site up all the time.
A Virtual Machine can best be understood as a “computer within a computer”. In other words, say you are running Windows, or a Mac. The virtual machine will be a completely independent operating system that runs within your main computer, kind of like having two computers in one. For the purpose of this tutorial, your virtual machine will be specifically for running your TOR website, although it can serve many additional functions.
This author runs a virtual machine called Virtualbox. You can download the software for your operating system here and install it on your computer… it is free software and very stable. Install the software per the instructions for your specific system, then on to the next step.
We’re going to install Linux Mint in Virtualbox. Linux Mint is a fabulous operating system that makes a wonderful replacement for Windows. It is free, and comes with some excellent (and free) programs already installed. Download the ISO file of Linux Mint here… it is a large file, and depending on your internet speed, can take from a few minutes to several hours to download. Save it to your Downloads folder, and go get a cup of coffee.
Now that you’ve downloaded the file, it’s time to install it in Virtualbox.

Jerry Nadler said God’s will is no concern of this Congress.
“Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.” Patrick Henry
The country is bankrupt based on points 3, 4 and 5.
“Laws without morals are in vain.” Benjamin Franklin
The Equality Act passed by the House is immoral.
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” John Adams
The compact between the federal government and the people is the Constitution. This compact is no longer valid based on the immoral actions and Constitutional violations of the federal government.
It is not seditious to wage war against an illegal government. The Republic has fallen into evil hands and their grasp is failing. What are their options other than to attack the people, strip them of their wealth and impose tyranny if they want to stay in power?
War is not coming; war is now here. May God show them the same level of mercy that they have shown toward His authority.
We saw one on a truck in Blairsville, GA today. Maybe we can have a parade with these flags when Washington is not under lockdown under this illegal pResident.
