Is Our Ruling Class Smart, Dumb, or
Really Dumb?

Original Article

The question that keeps occurring to a confirmed regime opponent like myself in this First Year of the Great Biden Era is this: What is really going on? Is the ruling class executing on a brilliant strategy to transform the political landscape for the next generation? Are they just fumbling along, trying to keep ahead of their wokist crazies? Or are they executing another of Baldrick’s Cunning Plans that will inevitably blow up in their faces? Let’s look at Option One. The closest thing I have ever seen to a brilliant strategy is Bill Clinton’s 1992 “New Democrat” campaign: nobody here but us moderates.

They aren't geniuses, but they aren't dumb either. They are corrupt, tyrannical, decadent, privileged, and elitest though. They are out for themselves at the expense of everyone else. They aren't above having people killed along the way to their goals either.

The so-called "elites" have varying levels of intelligence, but the main trait most of them share is everything they do is to advance themselves. They have tunnel-vision, focused on their conceit and egoism. Their every action is weighed not on whether it will help the country or other people, but on the effect it will have on their own career, bank account and future.

The so-called "Ruling Class" have their own interests at heart. Like Cori Bush, who deserves $300,000 in personal security, while defunding the Police. Like all the RINOs who hold "public office" for the purpose of getting rich. They are smart. They know how to get money. They know how to spend money on themselves. See the 45-60 party recently held on Martha's Vineyard. "The people be damned." I think the head of GM said that, back in the 'teens. "I am entitled...", says AOC, Toothy McBigTits, to whatever she wants. Like Mitch McConnell, who continues to hold public office while doing nothing. "There is no distinctively native American criminal class except Congress", said Mark Twain. He was right in 1880 and still right now. And our dear SCOTUS has removed the third and fourth items in the Bill of Rights from the Bill of Rights, as well as Article I, section 4. SCOTUS has declared itself (a creation of the Constitution) illegitimate. No Constitution = no SCOTUS. Stop paying them. And Queen Nancy has her own brownshirts. the U S Capitol Police, who have begun acting nationwide as her enforcers. Sieg Heil! And if you own property, you have the right to maintain that property, but you certainly cannot charge for its use. You must care for that property under pain of jail. It is just all white power and white privilege.

Christopher leaves out the fact that everything the Biden Admin is doing fulfills the Cloward/Piven strategy to collapse the American systems by weighing them all down. The goal of Cloward/Piven was communism replacing American freedom. Are Biden's handlers sure they will be lead dogs in the new system after this collapse? Lots of those who were the most helpful to the commies actually taking over any country found themselves up against walls or with hatchets in their necks BY THEIR own idols, the commies who consolidated power to themselves.

Why do Americans have a “Ruling Class”. Weren’t we founded as a nation of self-governing citizens. If you consider yourself a “ruler” in this country, then I consider you a tyrant and a traitor. It is my most fervent patriotic desire to kill you.

The White House is pressuring OPEC and its allies to boost oil production in a bid to tackle rising gasoline prices — despite imposing tighter restrictions on US oil companies last year.Biden’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan issued a statement on Wednesday urging OPEC — the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries — to move faster to restore global supply of gasoline to pre-pandemic levels.“Higher gasoline costs, if left unchecked, risk harming the ongoing global recovery. The price of crude oil has been higher than it was at the end of 2019, before the onset of the pandemic,” Sullivan said.

A House committee investigating former President Trump's finances is entitled to some but not all of his tax records, a federal judge ruled on Wednesday, delivering a blow to his efforts to keep them private.It represents the latest twist in a complex web of court cases in a years long battle to force Trump to release his tax returns. U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta approved a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee subpoena obliging Trump's accountants Mazars to hand over documents from 2017 to 2018. But he turned down most of the panel’s request for information dating back to 2011.

Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has led the charge of 19 senator republicans, hell-bent on running off a cliff.Like a bunch of lemmings, 19 GOPers sided with Democrats and signed onto an infrastructure bill that isn’t about infrastructure it’s a debt and bureaucratic disaster in the making.Although we are told it will “pay for itself”, it won’t. Repurposed Covid funds are insufficient to fill gaps, and “Covid funds” were funds created out of thin air in any event so claiming it pays for itself with fake money, is just more mafia-style creative accounting. Democrats included a whole bunch of “equity” language throwing money at “disadvantaged groups”.

Republican Sen.

But for Scott, who like the 76-year-old Ellison is an outspoken advocate for school choice, cultivating the mogul has paid dividends — and could even help propel a 2024 presidential bid. Since last October, Ellison has contributed $10 million to an outside group aligned with the senator — a huge sum even in the super PAC era and the business owner’s biggest known contribution in three decades

The White House on Wednesday called on OPEC and its allies to boost oil production as gas prices continue to climb, threatening the nation’s economic recovery. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said in a statement the administration has spoken with OPEC members urging the group to increase production. OPEC, which stands for the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, reached an agreement last month with its non-OPEC allies, known as OPEC+, to increase oil production by 400,000 barrels per day. But Mr. Sullivan said that isn’t enough to bolster the oil supply. “While OPEC+ recently agreed to production increases, these increases will not fully offset previous production cuts

Senator Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) was challenged recently by a caller on the “Jay Thomas Show.” The caller asked Cramer to reveal the identity of the Capitol Police officer who shot and killed unarmed Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt, on January 6. Cramer claimed he did not know the name of the officer, nor did he believe the public had any right to know that officer’s name because he had not been found guilty of any wrongdoing. Such pandering to the ruling class and its railroaded investigation is embarrassing enough, as the available evidence (to say nothing of the evidence that the government refuses to release) indicates that the officer recklessly—
