OBAMA & BIDEN’S $7 BILLION SHELL SCHEME

 


GITMO FILES EXPOSED: OBAMA & BIDEN’S $7 BILLION SHELL SCHEME — THE LARGEST TAXPAYER HEIST IN U.S. HISTORY BOMBSHELL: The Biden-Obama cartel just siphoned $7 BILLION of YOUR money into a fake “climate nonprofit” called the Climate United Fund—a shell operation with zero oversight and no accountability. This isn’t policy. This is criminal organized fraud. The Setup: November 2022: Climate United Fund created from NOTHING. Initial revenue: $547K. Initial spending: $451K in 2 months—unexplained. Then in April 2024, Biden’s EPA hands them $7 BILLION based on a 49-page report. That’s it. No audits. No vetting. Just a signature—and the money vanishes. WHERE IS THE MONEY? They claimed it’s for solar in Idaho, Oregon, and Arkansas—totaling only $50 million. So where’s the other $6.95 BILLION? Buried in Democrat-run web nonprofits like Power Forward Communities—connected to Stacey Abrams. This Is a Democrat Laundering Operation. Create a nonprofit. Assign operatives: Beth Bafford – ex-Obama staffer, no experience, now in charge of billions. Phil Angelides – Democrat machine insider. Anthony Foxx – Obama crony. Dolores Huerta, Patrice Willoughby – party money-movers. **They install their own, bypass legal review, and funnel money into campaigns, activist groups, and power networks—**with YOUR tax dollars. The Media Is Complicit. If Trump did this, the world would be on fire. But when Obama and Biden loot the treasury? SILENCE. No New York Times coverage. No Washington Post outrage. No “fact-checkers” interested. Because they’re all in on it. This is a Deep State Heist—Nothing Less. The $7B is just the beginning. They’re building a network of slush funds before 2026 and 2028—because they know the storm is coming. They know they’re going to lose. So they’re robbing the vaults while they still can. America Is Being Stripped. Right Now. The swamp believes you’re distracted. They believe you’ll accept “climate change” as cover for organized theft. But this isn’t green energy—it’s a greenlight for tyranny. FIGHT BACK. Share this NOW. Demand criminal investigations. EXPOSE these fake nonprofits. The largest heist in U.S. history is happening in real time. The countdown has already begun. They’re not ready for what’s coming. STAY AWAKE. GITMO awaits.

Harry Jaffa on Lincoln's Prophetic Statesmanship

 


Elevating the Natural Aristocracy above the Pseudo-Aristocracies

The following is an excerpt from Prophetic Statesmanship: Harry Jaffa, Abraham Lincoln, and the Gettysburg Address, which is available today, June 10, from Encounter Books.

In Crisis of the House Divided, Jaffa argued that once it became possible for Lincoln to foresee the end of slavery, he prepared himself for a role in emancipation, and even, in the Lyceum speech, gave a “prophetic account of the coming crisis” casting himself in the role of Emancipator! Lincoln warned of future dangers that would confront the nation. These would be internal dangers, principally those stemming from mob rule, or more precisely the “spirit of mob rule.” The lawless in spirit—those who tolerate lawlessness—will be prone to become “lawless in fact.” Lincoln, of course, without direct acknowledgement, referred to abolitionists, who advocated violating the Constitution in order to emancipate slaves, whereas Lincoln’s avowed policy was one of prudence, which was to observe strict adherence to the Constitution which, when understood in light of the principles of the Declaration, had put slavery on the course of “ultimate extinction.” The greatest danger engendered by the “mobocratic spirit,” Lincoln insisted, “which all must admit, is now abroad in the land, [is that] the strongest bulwark of any Government, and particularly of those constituted like ours, may effectually be broken down and destroyed—I mean the attachment of the People.” What can unite them? What is the remedy Lincoln proposes? A political religion!

"No Kings!" Protest Accidentally Proves U.S. Has No King — Founders laugh on the Sidelines

 


By Benjamin Snark, Staff Satirist

In a twist that left historians chuckling and the Constitution giving a smug side-eye, a group of protesters recently took to the streets chanting “NO KINGS!”—seemingly unaware that the U.S. hasn’t had a king since 1776 and, thanks to that dusty old document they never read, we legally can’t have one.
