Truth

Granite Grok - Sat, 2022-12-17 22:00 +0000

The decline and fall of truth is, sadly, our legacy in the 21st Century. Science is defined by political rhetoric, and opposing the popular thing is labeled as misinformation or disinformation.

That’s not to say there has never been deceit or distrust; those are part and parcel of government, politics, human nature, and everyday life. But the pursuit and defense of truth are as near to death as at any point in my lifetime.

Robin Phillips has a two-part Essay at SALVO Mag that covers the topic and how the absence of truth undermines trust, which can undermine an entire nation.

It is long and might be paywalled (I’ve included the links in case they are not), but excellent, so I wanted to share two bits that give you a sense of it all from Phillips’ perspective.

From Part I

Without trust in the institutions that create, mediate, and enforce our laws, the relationship between the rulers and the ruled has to be renegotiated in terms of mere power. This is because no regime can be sustained over time unless there is self-enforcement of law from a critical mass of citizens. But this requires trust; it requires that a sufficient number of citizens trust their rulers enough to be invested in the survival of the system. This is precisely why rulers and their functionaries must never be willing to sacrifice the people’s trust.

 

The Political Left, with rare exceptions, is committed to the Marxist need to undermine every institution so we won’t get any help from their leaders. Their mission is to collapse the system, including the government itself, so they can rebuild a utopia. Something that no Marxist has managed in over 100 years of trying. But those drawn to positions of power are often the least capable of resisting the urge to abuse it or the notion that they are the best people for the job.

Undermining trust is part of the plan, and we can see it unfolding. Truth, the foundation of trust, has been made unapproachable by the same people.

 

From Part II

 

This disregard for truth may explain why there are few to no public debates on the great questions of our time. You won’t find symposiums for publicly debating whether men can have periods, or whether inclusion means excluding those who object to ideological uniformity, or whether equality means treating people unequally. Nor are there research grants for finding out if CRT is an accurate theory, if the new transgender biology is scientifically correct, or whether identity politics presents a correct anthropology. Nor are universities sponsoring Lincoln-Douglas style debates on whether “wokeness” is good for society. Even those who care most strongly about these questions tend to focus their attention, not on publicly debating the truth content of their claims, but on organizing Groupthink and punishing those who dissent from ideological purity.

 

Most religions are more open to debate about the finer points of their faith than the cultural Marxists are about their own. From sex to life to bodily autonomy to natural rights, there is not only a lack of continuity in their dogma but daring even to debate it is verboten.

Many on the left have become cloistered ideological zealots, which, ironically enough, is an institution that will need to be undermined before the Marxist utopia can spring from the rubble of our world.

As with so many things, the first step is admitting there is a problem, but since you can’t debate it …

Establishing a Future Punishment Regime, an “FPR”

Granite Grok - Sat, 2022-12-17 20:30 +0000

Could the big snowstorm this weekend be the one Gunther Russbacher predicted in 1992, whereby bad weather keeps us indoors for the weekend, and on Monday, an announcement is made that the world’s money system has changed?

We want to thank Mary Maxwell for this Op-Ed – Please direct yours to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.
You can review our ‘Op-Ed Guidelines‘ on the FAQ Page.

I don’t particularly think that will happen right now, but I note that Russbacher, in the same article (available at whale.to), did correctly predict the universal ID which would later become an electronic ID, placed under the skin. I noted that Dr Richard Day, in 1969, also foresaw this. They were both Insiders.

So my theme for this article is that it is wrong for us to know what is coming down the pike and yet do nothing to prevent it. In 1945, we let the Bretton Woods guys create the World Bank (as a cure for currency destabilization) and the IMF (to help poor countries, OMG). Back then, we were naive and uninformed.  Today, we do know what the Bozos are getting up to with the financial system, so what’s the excuse for putting one’s feet up?

Likewise, we should act smartly (that’s ‘smartly’ as in quickly) to crack down on the many purveyors of poison. I especially mean the vax poison, but there are many other poisons coming at us. There is the poison of wrongful education for schoolkids, of inciting war, of outrageous surveillance, and the wholesale poisoning of truth.

And yes, we know the various explanations — but they aren’t justifications — for our being oh so helplessly unable to proceed. “We’re hampered by the media giants, the covert agencies, the phony judges, the perfidious legislators.” How about the wooly mammoth?  Are we hampered by the wooly mammoth?

Future Punishment

I want to name a solution, but I haven’t had time to find a good name for it — let me label it “future punishment” for the moment. Here’s how it works. Say that we hear that Bill Gates, is planning to come out with yet another vaccine, and the head of the CDC will most likely add it to children’s pre-school vax schedule. We know it will be bad.  We know it hasn’t happened yet, and Gates-and-CDC may swear that it won’t ever happen.

Does lack of proof that it’s occurring mean we have to sit on our hands? Certainly not; that would be absurd. But aren’t there legal mechanisms to prevent a citizen being charged with a crime he did not yet commit? Well, not entirely, no. It’s even permissible, in many states, for you to citizen’s-arrest a guy for a felony he is poised to commit. Protecting us from the future injury is only sensible and there is jurisprudence (judge’s rulings) to support that. And police have been known to arrest based on profiling.

Despite the availability of existing means of, say, capturing Anthony Fauci for genocide, I’m here to spell out new legislation — made from the ground floor, so to speak. The proposed new “law” would say: When it is apparent that something is in the works that society would never condone, and the imagined perpetrators, being powerful, are not easy to catch red-handed, they can be slated for punishment now, in advance, should they proceed to do it.

Note: Prof G Blakely of Notre Dame Law School, B 1936, invented the RICO method of catching hard-to-catch racketeers and mafias.  Congress obliged by signing the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act of 1970. You have to establish that two or more people are sharing an enterprise, and that at least two crimes have been committed.

I will also here mention Letters of Marque. This is sort of like legitimizing a bounty hunter, to go find someone who is breaching parole, and turn them in for a fee. Most states allow this. In olden days, a person such as Sir Francis Drake could run ships, known as privateers, to catch Spanish pirates and be entitled to the spoils. Drake would have got a Letter of Marque from the king to legalize it in advance. Today, the US Constitution’s Article I allows Congress to issue a letter of Marque. Rep Ron Paul suggested such a thing so that a private person could capture Osama bin Laden.

What’s Done Is Done

I repeat that my proposal for a Future Punishment Regime, for acts not yet performed. During Covid we saw things go from bad to worse. Early on, we could have prevented many unconstitutional plandemic laws from being passed, such as laws to mandate quarantine and laws to mandate mask-wearing. But they did pass, based on the public’s ignorance or fear, or legislators’ stalwart corruption. Then came the vaccines and new laws unconstitutionally (and unconscionably) forced many people to get vaxxed.

Apparently for the purpose of allowing untested vaxes to be used for emergency, the normal treatments such as ivermectin got banned by law. Is that criminal or what. Then people got gagged by media for speaking truth about the vax, or ivermectin, and media turned up the volume of its lies. In the next phase, it could be discerned by many capable citizens and doctors, that the whole shindig is a genocide. Thousands died from the vax yet no official comes forward to say Stop the vax. Hello? We can deal with this.

My proposal is not about the stuff that already happened. All of that can be taken care of by existing law. (And believe me, it can be taken care of.) What I recommend us that from today forward we don’t repeat the ridiculous behavior by which we appear to worship the rich, the famous., and the government-entitled. Just think of them as ordinary criminals (shop lifters, drug dealers, muggers, etc). When one set of people commits a lot of crime, experts think up efficient ways to apply the law to them. Again, think of RICO.

Any district attorney can, right now, bring the genocidalists to book. She won’t, though. She is too chicken or is hypnotized or whatever. So to imbue the arrest with a sort of “new” feature, I am saying that we should announce in advance that if So-and-So commits the named offense, he will be greeted immediately by what would have been called in medieval times a panel of pitchforkers. I am calling this feature a “Future Punishment Regime.”

This FPR may feel a bit like a preemptive strike: “We’ll arrest the arsonist before he sets the barn on fire.” But it’s more like “We have every reason to believe you are going to set the barn on fire and so we are watching you closely and when you take a step in the direction of it, we seize you.” The names of our suspects, and the crime each has been warned of, will be published for all to see.

I wouldn’t worry about getting sued for defamation. These nominees have openly defamed themselves with their crazy talk. Pfizer’s “Vaccines are safe and effective” is a great example, as no testing was done so the safety was unknowable. (Actually, it was knowable to a fault if you receive my meaning.) My FPR is sort of a gimmick.  Its purpose is to make the suspects nervous and to embolden the panelists.  And to make us stop thinking humanity has ended.

Will the World Takeover Reveal All Leaders in Cahoots?

The current high-wind snowstorm in the US might peter out.  But it could be the big one. It could make us sitting ducks for the globalist takeover. Recall the 1906 Protocols of the Elders of Zion:

“To sum up our system of keeping the governments in Europe in check . . . we shall respond with the guns of America or China or Japan. When we at last definitely come into our kingdom [it will be] by the aid of coups d’état prepared everywhere for one and the same day…. With this purpose we shall slay without mercy all who take up arms to oppose our coming into our kingdom.”

Please don’t get your knickers in a knot about “Jews.” The Protocols authors were, I think, a mixed bag. And the entire wall of censorship, with threats to get you for anti-Semitism, could have been ingeniously put in place by anyone. I wish Jews would recognize that and be angry about the whispering campaign.

That said, here is another example like the barn-arsonist. The globalists have said they will arm themselves in such a way as to defeat the 8 billion of us. Where are getting the arms?  If you know, tell us and we can put out a Watch. Subsequently, if the suspects then go near the barn with so much as a cigarette lighter….

Ask Solzhenitsyn

If next Monday (December 19, 2022) we find ourselves in hot water — figuratively — we will be full of regret at our stupid inaction.  As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said, “How we burned in the camps.” Sitting there in chains, forever, the Russian men in the Gulag kept going over and over how they might have taken action earlier.

Here are the “Cliff Notes” (actually, the enotes) of “The Gulag Archipelago: 1918- 1956”:

Solzhenitsyn depicts the lives and experiences of the millions of people wrongfully imprisoned and facing horrible conditions in Soviet gulags. He describes their passive acceptance of their position, doing little more than writing petitions and appeals … Solzhenitsyn highlights how arresting officers made arrests carelessly and without cause, for they had no need to worry about resistance due to the general compliance of those targeted.”

Dear Reader, this whole thing is sooo ridiculous. While I give the Planners credit for trying so hard for decades to achieve a One World Government, their finished product will be a pastiche of ugliness, meanness, and meaninglessness. Actually, they’ve said that that’s what they want, but they won’t want it.  Such satanic crap has been useful during their takeover, but I bet they can’t sustain it once they acquire their “kingdom.” Sociobiologically, I think their entire construction of world government has as its sole purpose to save them from us.

A Q&A about the Proposed “Future Punishment Regime”

Q. Why did Mary come up with this FPR idea? A. Because she is sad to see journalists and activists doing such so much good reporting of our big issues, yet include no solutions. Mary tried to craft something new that is based on law and the American tradition and smacks of law, justice, authority, whatever. (As opposed to “Just go kill the bastards.”)

Q. Does Mary think something is about to hit the fan? A. Hasn’t it been hitting yonder fan for three years, just in terms of the plandemic? Lately, the talk of financial collapse raises the memory of Dr Day’s 1969 hint that the takeover could happen in a snowstorm. Think how blatant was the WEF’s Great Reset demand that we close small businesses. And they did get closed. And this year many food-processing plants “inexplicably” had fires.

Q. Whom would Mary like to “futurize”? A. She would start with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Johns Hopkins scientists, as there they are, perched at their microphones, babbling on about the next plandemic, just like last time. Mary says we could put them on notice that if they do anything toward further genocide of this type, it will be pitchfork city, so to speak. Why not? When someone wars against you , you respond by warring.

Q. Why isn’t Mary being her usual law-fussy self? A. She is being her usual law-fussy self. What is law? As Fred Bastiat said in 1850, law is justice. The fact that America’s DOJ went to work for the criminal Globalists, around 1980, isn’t Mary’ fault. They sacked themselves. We the People are filling in for them. It’s all terribly legal.

Q. Does Mary have hope? A. Yes. Clearly the non-demented among us can rub a few neurons together (as Philip Allott says “my beautiful neurons”) and do what is needed to call a halt to this whole shameful era.

What do the Twitter Files say?

Granite Grok - Sat, 2022-12-17 19:00 +0000

The government is highly involved in policing social media. That is the gist of it, but let’s get more specific.

We want to thank Megan Davis for this Op-Ed – Please direct yours to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.

  1. They suppressed the New York Post’s story about the Hunter Biden laptop.
  2. Former FBI agents were hired to censor Tweets.
  3. The Biden team had a direct line to Twitter to censor posts.
  4. They schemed to get President Trump banned from Twitter.
  5. Twitter silenced conservatives.
  6. The FBI met with Twitter weekly during the elections to talk about censorship.
  7. Banned the NYP Twitter Account.
  8. Suppressed claims of voter fraud.

Why is all of this criminal? Our government is only concerned with making money and retaining or getting power. They are not interested in protecting our rights and security.

Let’s look into this.

Hunter Biden Laptop:

The contents of the laptop were leaked to the Post just before the elections. The emails on the computer revealed that Hunter Biden was pedaling his name and influence to make money. Furthermore, he was making deals for his dad and his family. These deals could have breached national security, but the potential payoffs were huge.

Constitutional Problem: Bribery is a federal crime. Joe could go to prison.

The FBI met with Twitter weekly during the elections to talk about censorship:

According to trendingpolitics.com, in court, Elvis Chan, a former FBI agent, stated that leading up to the 2020 elections, he met weekly with “Facebook; Microsoft; Google; Twitter; Yahoo!; Wikimedia Foundation and Reddit.”

 

 

Former FBI agents were hired to censor Tweets.

The former agents handled what information was spread on the platform. In other words, they controlled the conversation about current affairs on Twitter.

Twitter even praised the FBI for helping them control the conversation. According to patriotpost.com, “In September 2020, Twitter released a statement thanking the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force for collaborating with the social media platform and supporting Twitter’s “work to protect the public conversation at this critical time.”

The Biden team had a direct line to Twitter to censor posts.

The current administration wants you to see them in a certain way. They already have their grip on mainstream media, but they also need to control social media. So, they contact Twitter directly. According to the files, they just tell Twitter which posts to delete, and they do it right away.

They schemed to get President Trump banned from Twitter.

Twitter actually wrote President Trump his own policy and then gave him one more strike. If he got a strike, he was banned. Talking about election corruption got him banned.

Twitter silenced conservatives.

At the request of government officials or on their own, Twitter blacklisted and shadow-banned conservatives or refused to allow their tweets to go viral. In other words, they didn’t kick them off the site, but they didn’t allow them to be heard by a larger audience.

Banned the New York Post (NYP) Twitter Account.

The NYP broke the Hunter Biden laptop story just before the 2020 election. Rudy Giuliani gave the files to them, and they have written many stories on the contents of the laptop. In this post, the NYP wrote that Hunter Biden committed 459 crimes, and Joe Biden committed the crimes of tax evasion and violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

Because they kept writing about the Hunter Biden laptop, they were banned.

Suppressed claims of voter fraud.

Huckabee, among other conservatives, spoke out about mail-in voting, and Twitter discussed whether they should delete the posts. In many cases, they deleted the posts.

What does Trump have to say about government censorship?

He is going to make an executive order to ban censorship, fire all government employees that have participated in censorship, and require a cooling-off period for any government employees who want to work for a social media platform.

There is more, so I encourage you to watch the video below.

How it Could Have Been Better

Granite Grok - Sat, 2022-12-17 17:30 +0000

I get an email every Friday from the Congressman for NH-CD1 recapping what a busy week he has had. It usually summarizes four or five issues he feels he was integral in bringing to fruition. He is a self-promotion star, and it has to be a must-read for his followers. For the other half of the population of New Hampshire, his email is tantamount to fingernails on a chalkboard. 

First, to say to working people that this recap shows how busy you were is an insult. Secondly, your emails show how off-track and tone-deaf you are and how things could have been so better had we replaced you in Washington. Had Karoline Leavitt been successful in unseating this narrow-minded Congressman, we would be concentrating on real issues. Let’s look at his latest mailing.

The following was pulled directly from the weekly Pappas email. In italics is my opinion on how Karoline would have dealt differently with the issue.

Combating the Opioid Epidemic 

On Thursday, I introduced bipartisan legislation alongside Congressman Dan Newhouse to extend my bipartisan legislation on fentanyl analogue scheduling through December 31, 2024. As we work to combat the opioid epidemic and save lives, it’s critical we ensure law enforcement retains the tools they need to hold traffickers accountable by extending the temporary scheduling of fentanyl-related substances. I remain committed to working across the aisle, with health and public safety experts, and with members of our law enforcement to push for comprehensive solutions that will keep our families and communities safe.

Giving law-enforcement the resources to fight the Fentanyl epidemic is important, but more importantly, we need to stop the supply. We know the raw material originates from China and is formulated into tablet form in Mexico. We have to fight this battle on two fronts. We must force China to cease the manufacture and distribution to Mexico. We need to treat this infusion of Fentanyl as a terrorist act and the labs where they are produced in Mexico need to be destroyed. We must work with the Mexican government to make this happen.

The Respect for Marriage Act Signed Into Law 

On Tuesday, I attended the White House ceremony of President Biden signing the Respect for Marriage Act into law. The signing of this legislation is a landmark moment not just for the LGBTQ+ community, but for all Americans, because it brings us one step closer to our country’s founding promise of guaranteeing liberty and justice for all. Growing up I wondered as a member of the LGBTQ+ community whether I’d be able to have a full life and a family of my own. We’ve certainly come a long way on that front, and while work remains to be done to guarantee true equality for all, I’m grateful to President Biden for signing this legislation into law that ensures we will not lose these hard-fought rights we all deserve.

This was a made for TV production. Same-sex marriage was legalized on the Federal level on June 26, 2015. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples had the right to marry. The narrow, 5-4 decision did away with same-sex marriage bans in 14 states. This ceremony was theater produced to garner support from the LGBTQ community that Chris Pappas has been laser-focused on since being elected to Congress.

Passing the Law Enforcement De-escalation Act

On Wednesday, I helped pass the bipartisan Law Enforcement De-escalation Training Act, vital legislation that will close the mental health crisis training gap and provide officers with de-escalation tactics for these urgent encounters. The bill passed the House and Senate with bipartisan support and will now be sent to President Biden for his signature. As our law enforcement responds to a variety of calls, it’s important they have training for every situation, and I’ll continue fighting to deliver the resources law enforcement need to keep our communities safe.

We need to start at the beginning by restoring law enforcement to the noble profession of a decade ago. The Democrats continue to push its Progressive Defund the Police mantra and then want to say they are pro-police. It is a charade. Big cities are losing police officers by the hundreds, and recruits are not keeping up with attrition. Until we restore respect for the Police, everything else is pure lip service.

Investing in Renewable Energy

This week I joined the New Hampshire delegation in welcoming $1,696,780 for renewable energy projects across rural New Hampshire. This funding from the Rural Energy for America Program ensures New Hampshire’s small businesses, agricultural producers, and rural communities have the support and resources for a transition to clean energy. Providing our communities with the tools to transition to clean energy is vital to protecting our environment, creating jobs, and generating economic growth. I’m pleased to see New Hampshire businesses investing in renewable energy and I’ll keep fighting for resources to ease this transition.

New Hampshire and New England rely on fossil fuel for home heating and commercial growth. You can continue to push rebates on renewable energy alternatives, but the average Granite Stater cannot afford the initial outlay. With the help of Chris Pappas, the Biden administration has done its best to destroy the fossil fuel industry. With Biden inflation, New Hampshire’s residents have to choose between fuel and food. It is not a good place to be, thanks to Biden and the Democrats.

The Brunson Case Could Provide a New Leviathan — Us!

Granite Grok - Sat, 2022-12-17 16:00 +0000

I am here to say that the new case of Brunson v Adams contains the hottest balance-of-power issue I have ever seen. It is a case by an ordinary citizen– who believes his right-to-elect was violated by the various frauds going on at the polls in the 2020 election.

We want to thank Mary Maxwell for this Op-Ed – Please direct yours to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.

I’m eager to use Brunson’s case to emphasize the citizens’ role against corruption — in all matters, not just voting — but first let me describe the particulars. The docket number is #22-380.

Raland Brunson first filed a case in the state court of Utah. The feds then asked that it be removed to the federal court because the defendants are federal office holders (President, Vice President, and over 300 of the 535 members of Congress).

The name “Adams” appears in the title of the case, Brunson v Adams, as Magistrate Alma Adams is the one who allowed the case to be removed to the feds. So, as far as I can tell, Brunson is fighting something called Rule Eleven. That rule is based on a statute that does indeed allow a state case to be yanked out of state hands.

However, that jurisdictional issue is small peanuts compared to Brunson’s real issue. He complains that one member of Congress (I think it was Sen Ted Cruz) had asked, in December, for a 10-day investigation of claims of voter fraud, but congresspersons voted this down, so it did not happen.

Brunson regards that failure to investigate as a crime in itself. He says the Defendants broke their oath to protect the Constitution and the remedy is to remove them from office on grounds of treason.

Over the years, heaps of citizens have filed in courts, both state and federal, to complain about Congress’s neglect of duty. I certainly have done so, such as in Maxwell v Trump, a case about Congress’s failure to do its duty regarding war. But my cases never make it to the US Supreme Court. Brunson v Adams is now headed to SCOTUS. The conference will be held in January 2023 — soon. As usual, four of the nine judges must say Yes to “grant cert.” It is even possible for them to rule on the case “if they feel like it.”

Big Adjustment to Political Theory is Due

I now argue that Brunson can make the US Constitution, and therefore the US government, a thing of beauty and a joy forever — as someone once said. Brunson rails against the fact that members of Congress voted to say No to a request by one member that they carry out a certain investigation, as specified in federal law for times when (as in 1877) an election is thought by many observers to be invalid.

Brunson is saying (I paraphrase liberally): “Hey, you guys in Congress, I know that you know that the 2020 election was fraudulent in about five states, and it’s your duty, which you recognized years ago (in the 1877 case), to cease running toward Inauguration and hold a 10-day investigation. If you don’t do so, you are traitors, given that you took an oath to defend the Constitution. So get the hell out of here. Begone, Satan. I want my country back.”

During the Jan 6 melee, and before it and after it, I {Maxwell] published my opinion that Biden was legally elected based on the fact that Amendment XX provides for congressional interference if there is no other way to produce a president with sufficient electoral college votes (these days, 269). The amendment lays out the way a vice president (in 2021, Pence) presides over the opening of the ballots in a joint session of Congress and must accept challenges from the floor.

Pence did accept two challenges regarding Arizona and Pennsylvania and correctly sent each house to debate and vote on these. Both came back with insufficient votes to reject the state’s count. So I, being a sort of parchmentary prude, said, “That’s the end of it. Even if five states stink, the law shows the way for elected persons to fix that, and they (basically the Democrat majority) refused to do that, so we’ve gotta live with it. Sad, but what can you do?” Etc.

Brunson, God love him, said, “Wait a minute. Hold your horses, Maxwell. [He did not really address me, OK?] It’s not for you, Maxwell, to say, ‘Let’s accept sin.’ I, Brunson, say DON”T accept it. Kick the sinners out of the temple. [There’s precedent for that!]. Throw their tables over and let ’em know who’s in charge here. WE THE PEOPLE ARE IN CHARGE.”

The new balance-of-power issue, therefore, has to do with the role of THE PEOPLE in the Constitution and how it balances against all other comers. I can see today that we underrated ourselves. We Americans who established our polity by a declaration of independence in 1776 that said “King George, amscray” should not do a Maxwell and say “When our elected leaders do the wrong thing, the only hope is to replace them at the next [fraudulent?] election.”

I concede the field to Brunson. I say, “Corrupt politicians, amscray — and make it fast cuz we have worse than ‘retirement’ in store for you.”

Note: The rest of this article has only to do with how Brunson’s idea updates the older political theories of Montesquieu, Locke, Rousseau, and Hobbes. (Remember Hobbes’ Leviathan? — not somebody you would want to meet in a dark alley). I propose that we are The New Leviathan. Even if our rule has to be harsh over “certain people,” well, that’s the reality of Nature. A society’s gotta do what a society’s gotta do.

I hope we will someday date American political theory as being pre-Brunson and post-Brunson.

The Old Balance-of-Power Theory

Raland Brunson’s insight shifts our emphasis from the balance among the three branches of government — legislative, executive, and judicial, and he discounts, slightly, the balance between the states and the feds. Brunson has puffed up — way, way up — the place of The People in the Constitution.

Consider the old balance-of-power theory. The authors of our 1787 US Constitution were directly influenced by the work of Frenchman Baron de Montesquieu and Englishman John Locke (writing in Holland). You can credit Locke with the idea that the government’s basis of authority is the consent of the governed. No small deal!

Montesquieu directly influenced the structuring of our federal government into three branches. He meant this to be a check on the government’s power. He expected each branch to be jealous of its turf, such that none could become dictatorial. Indeed, Congress’s prerogative of impeaching a president is pure checks and balances. A recalcitrant president could find himself “out the door.” Three US presidents have been impeached by the House but none of them got the door treatment.

The parchment also offers a fixed balance of state power versus federal power. Who attended the Philadelphia Convention in 1787 to write the Constitution? Fifty-five delegates from the 13 states. And they did not give away the kitchen sink. They allowed the feds to have only the powers enumerated in Article I. Today, this balancing may be dead. States do not fight against usurpation of their prerogatives. (Makes you wonder who gets elected as governor these days.)

Wait! There’s also a balance of people versus government in the Constitution. It consists of Article V’s provision for the people to amend the Constitution and the whole Bill of Rights by which the most humble get to elbow their way in. In the Fifth Amendment, another entity earned a mention — the grand jury. It belongs to The People. Grand Juries can and should inform the government of the need for prosecutions. Again, it’s not working, Folks. The feds, and perhaps each state, use a method of judicial or executive control over local grand juries.

Locke, Hobbes, and Rousseau

Now let’s look at John Locke’s “Second Treatise on Government.” He wrote it in 1690, well before Charles Darwin wrote “The Descent of Man” in 1871. Locke incorrectly described a state of nature in which we had all been in a condition of freedom and natural rights. This was never the case; we are not hermits — we live in societies. And the very existence of a “right” depends on a society to give protection to such rights.

Locke was preceded by Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679), who had pictured a human’s lot in the state of nature as “nasty, brutish, and short.” He, too, was incorrect, but from his incorrect view, he came up with the useful idea of people ceding some of their sovereignty to a ruler in exchange for peaceable social relations. He honored a Leviathan, a very strong ruling power.

And don’t forget Frenchman Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who wrote The Social Contract in 1762. He posited a “volunte generale” — the will of the people. This can be used in a bad way to excuse an excuse harsh laws — as in China or Victoria, Australia today. Folks are told it’s for the greater good. But Rousseau’s volunte generale also covers the opposite action: it supports majority rule as against the tiny minority of wealthy overlords. Yipee!

It’s High Time We Updated the Governing Theory

The new court case by Raland Brunson — delivered pro se, no less — is about the behavior of specific persons who occupy the various roles of the US government. Brunson said they are failing in their duty. Let me now use Brunson as a counterweight to the older balance-of-power theory. I say he has really shaken up the balance idea.

Because our Constitution contains the vital protections of the Bill of Rights and has enjoyed great authority, we should not want to pitch the parchment. So please don’t take my ideas here to mean that we should start from scratch — that would be disastrous. Let’s just imitate Raland Brunson in his attempt to make the Constitution work by making all individuals live up to their oath to that funding document.

Pause here to update the 17th, 18th, and 19th theories outlined above. They were all written when the population of the world was under 2 billion — it is now 8 billion. They were written when the strongest physical force you could use against an enemy was gunpowder. (No planes, no bombs, no bioweapons, no geo-engineering, no mind control, no WEF, etc.)

Thus, Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau could hardly be expected, in their recommendations for designing a government, to understand the issue of globalist control, much less to provide for our current complicated circumstance.

So we need theorists who can analyze the pressures that are operating today. To put it crudely, I see a hidden group of individuals running the whole species for its hidden purposes — which may be simple selfish purposes. They have twisted everything, including our thought processes, to suit their maintenance of control. Poor jerks.

And they have a huge bevy of servants, maybe even the guy in the apartment next to yours, a nice guy who is trained to thwart the good of all. And he may not even realize he is doing that! Poor mixed-up creature.

I thank Raland Brunson for making me coin the phrase The New Leviathan. Anyone wishing to yak about that, please contact me at: MaxwellMaryLLB@gmail.com

Camel Flu!

Granite Grok - Sat, 2022-12-17 14:30 +0000

Remember that time at Pride Camp when promiscuous gay men spread monkeypox across the western world and parts of Asia? The Medical Industrial Complex failed to transition that into a pandemic as hoped because it didn’t have the hairy legs.

The cure was for gay men to stop boinking each other for three months so existing cases could run their course, and you couldn’t force them to use passports for that. It would be bigoted or something.

With no real potential for abuse by the New World Order, they could only manage a name change. MPOX. I think folks will call it Pride Pox, but that doesn’t explain why the tens of thousands attending Pride Camp didn’t spread COIVD. And if they did, it wasn’t newsworthy. Maybe they did, but they were all vaccinated. That would explain it.

Then there’s the World Cup, after which the most pressing concern – aside from your country losing, if you care – is Camel Flu.

 

The UK Health Security Agency has urged clinicians to look out for people suffering from a fever and breathing difficulties. …

“MERS can be acquired from close contact with camels or from consuming camel products e.g., unpasteurised camel milk.”

It also warns of “person-to-person transmission” and says that there have already been two cases reported in Qatar this year, both of which had been exposed to camels.

 

I guess Camel-Riding is popular in Qatar, but according to the Sun, only 2600 cases have been identified in the past ten years across the entire Middle East. That’s 26 a year. But one in three reportedly die from Camel Flu. Oh, and the camels, like the monkeys, don’t seem to mind having the flu named after them. And that’s the thing, right? Identifying the pathogen based on its source. Like Wuhan Flu.

It was discovered in Wuhan, and while they tried to blame wet markets and bats, no one ever suggested calling it Wet Market flu or bat flu. Holy Wet market, batman!

To the Bat Flu!

MERS is still MERS, and if you went to Qatar, it is on a list of eight things you might bring home aside from national pride.

 

 

They did manage to slip COVID and MonkeyPox in there, but since it’s Qatar, these are hardly as dangerous as violating the Quran, which will get you into a lot more trouble than anything on this list. I have no reporting on that prevalence, and no one’s decided to amp up World Cup pandemic rhetoric. Possibly because there are Soccer fans, who have something in common with BLM, if you say the wrong thing, they might steal your stuff and burn down your neighborhood.

So, essential safety tips. Watch out for Camel Flu and World Cup Fans. They might be carrying something contagious.

Journalists or Simple Hacks

Granite Grok - Sat, 2022-12-17 13:00 +0000

The Progressive Liberal Left is apoplectic about Elon Musk and Twitter suspending the accounts of six journalists for seven days. The cries of censorship are loud and critical of Musk’s actions in the light of his proclaiming the new Twitter is a platform based on the first amendment and freedom of speech.

There are so many things about this situation to mull over.

My first thought is that we have given Twitter, and every social platform, far too much importance in life and politics. The key word is social. Computer geeks initially set these up to share ideas, pictures, and videos and create a virtual circle of friends. Facebook was a fun project designed by then student Marc Zuckerberg to rate girls on the Harvard campus. The public gained access, and now there are billions of users, making Zuckerberg a wealthy man. Now you would be hard-pressed to find someone’s cellphone that doesn’t have a combination of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and, unfortunately, TikTok installed. These programs have generations of addicted followers.

For many people, these social platforms have replaced face-to-face relationships. People have a different persona on these programs when what they say is from a keyboard and not from their lips. It has created a new sense of bravado. The biggest problem is that people do not take the step to vet what they read online. Most believe that if it is in print or online, it must be fact. There is a false sense of credibility online.

These programs belong to the developer, owner, or company that controls the program or app. In a way, they can do whatever they want with content, except that the government has given these platforms specific tax considerations as long as they are an open platform. Once someone like Musk starts moderating content, they should lose these monetary breaks.

None of the people upset about these “journalists” suspensions were up in arms about the permanent banning of President Trump. None of these people have an issue with Ayatollah Khamenei being on Twitter, where he can spread his anti-Semitic drivel to millions. These platforms are rife with contradictions, hyperbole, and hypocrisy. Controlling or moderating these media outlets can only be subjective, and every decision will upset half the subscribers.

What is free speech? This question has been debated for centuries. The suspended journalists had not written opinion pieces or reported newsworthy topics. They all were tweeting the location of Elon Musk’s private jet in real-time. Musk and his family are constantly threatened by bodily harm, and to supply their whereabouts in detail puts them at significant risk. That is not the purpose of free speech. That is called doxxing and can be extremely dangerous. Elon Musk has every right to remove dangerous information and penalize those who publish the info. You agree to abide by the rules when you join one of these platforms. The people complaining about the recent suspensions should go to the rules and read the fine print.

Most people can agree with keeping government interjection out of these social media outlets and ensuring that election interference is not part of the output. If found to happen and can be proven, strict controls or penalties must be levied. These projects have become too powerful to be ignored, and except for the new Twitter, the Left controls social media content. Again they have shown how proactive the Party is to ensure future power and control over this country. We on the Right need to get creative to balance the scales.

Should New Hampshire Require Democrat Voters to Carry Party Passports?

Granite Grok - Sat, 2022-12-17 11:30 +0000

Here’s an idea I have blatantly hijacked from the fascist left. They wanted (many of them demanded) that victims of COVID vaccine self-harm get privileges denied to everyone else. Papers, please! Yes, passports. Well, why can’t we protect the New Hampshire advantage similarly?

The Northeast has more Democrats “than at which one might shake a stick.” But some have had what they think is a political road to Damascus moment (not that they could tell you what that means). Serial casualties of ballot-box self-harm, they find themselves overwhelmed by the burden of the Administrative state they erected, the cure for which appears to be in New Hampshire.

The last refuge of liberty in the region, clinging to that rhetorical tree like the leaf that refuses to fall even as winter sets in.

Much like the jabbed, these politically poisoned persons -best intentions aside – are better spreaders of the partisan progressive disease. They move from Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, or Connecticut and relocate to the Granite State. It’s beautiful, scenic, and safe, but how much would it hurt to add sidewalks, streetlights, or diversity administrators in the local schools?

The infection begins the moment they arrive. And while some might make it (or fake it) to the next federal election before renouncing their tryst with lady liberty as an unfortunate indiscretion, only a few genuinely accept that less is more when it comes to government.

What is a Free State to do?

Democrats wanted vaccine passports the way addicts need a fix. Fascist blood boiling for control, indifferent to history and where it leads. Let’s give them what they want (in reverse)? Freedom Passports. These beauties will include their publicly available party voting preference for the past four elections. Incoming invaders must present them before renting or buying property in New Hampshire.

Too much blue? New Hampshire’s not for you.

And if they are not up to date, we will presume you are still a Liberty Denier and ineligible for the common privileges others enjoy. I’m kidding, of course, but more than a few twigs snapped at the suggestion.

How dare you deny someone’s choices? This from the people who wanted to mandate the injection with boosters with police state-like monitoring.

Strange thing. People who felt they had not been provided enough information to give informed consent for the Jab would be denied fundamental freedoms, but at least a few among the misinformation disinformation crowd have been forced to accept the “vaccine deniers” were right. Amnesty, they say, and sorry about all that.

No.

The cure doesn’t prevent infection or transmission. There are significant risks that were never reported to patients. Even boosters make you more susceptible to hospitalization or death if you catch COVID more than once, which they do not prevent. At least 25% of Jabbed women report persistent menstruation issues, and the number of stillborns in Western countries has set records. Then there’s sudden adult death syndrome. They’re still in open denial about that, and the elites are still pressing their case. A new plague is undoubtedly in the offing with a reciprocal cure that transfers wealth to the ruling class oligarchs.

Liberty deniers, to the last.

Sadly, few, if any, of them will be held responsible for advocating the poison or the call for the abrogation of fundamental human or natural rights. The media that hyped the unchallenged narratives without question or joined the call to silence conscientious objectors won’t likely suffer either.

Maybe what we need is a passport that identifies them as that instead? Stooges for the ruling class messaging machine. As easy as an App on their phone, yes – we wouldn’t want to waste the paper. Make them show their credentials at every political event at which they speak or under every report. Oh, wait, we already have one—Party registration records.

Maybe that Democrat party passport idea isn’t such a bad one after all.

Five Ways American Veterans Can Create a Better Life After Service

Granite Grok - Sat, 2022-12-17 10:00 +0000

Veterans enlist in the service, work for the military, and either go to war or support those who do. It’s a job that leads to stress and all kinds of problems. While we need to support veterans to help them live the best lives they can live after they leave the service, we seem to fail again and again in this regard.

Whether a veteran needs it, there are plenty of ways for them to create better lives for themselves and for the civilian public to help them get there. Below are five ways that American veterans can create a better life.

Take Advantage of Benefits

There are all kinds of benefits that veterans should take advantage of. There are veteran disability benefits for people who have been injured in the line of duty. There are subsidies for living arrangements. There is help with food and other essentials. The Veterans Association should be helping more veterans find not just jobs but new vocations for the rest of their lives. Whether you are a veteran yourself or are trying to help a veteran who is close to you, the benefits that are available to veterans should be utilized.

Find Support Groups

If a veteran has seen battle, there are some things that they should talk about and release from their psyche. Support groups are available for veterans across the country. Furthermore, if the person has begun self-medicating with drugs and alcohol, there are plenty of group meetings to help them stay sober and get a handle on their life after the military. There is a staggering amount of addiction and mental health issues in veterans. No matter how the person is doing, it’s crucial to find support groups that will help a veteran live their best life no matter what their situation is.

Seek Treatment for Mental Health & Addiction

Sometimes the situation is beyond the support group. A lot of veterans have problems with mental health and addiction. When their health has crossed a line, the answer could be for them to seek proper treatment. Whether this is in an inpatient treatment center, in trauma therapy, or in an outpatient rehab for addiction, there are all kinds of facilities that can help. If money is an issue, it’s possible to find subsidies. There are so many ways for a veteran to get the help they need. They shouldn’t suffer in silence. So, if you or someone you know needs treatment, it’s important for the person to get into a good program before worrying about the expense.

Receive Appreciation & Love

It doesn’t matter what you think it all, veterans need to be appreciated like anyone else. It makes no difference whether you agree with the cause they were involved in or not, they gave themselves. It’s important to show them love and appreciation. There are plenty of ways to do this. It’s as simple as throwing a barbecue or volunteering to provide support to these people. Whether you have a veteran in your life or not, there is no shortage of ways to show these people they love they deserve.

Seek Medical Services

Even with the benefits, medical attention can be expensive. This is especially the case when the person was injured in battle. Do they need surgery? Do they need long-term physical or occupational therapy? Do they need a primary care doctor? The benefits veterans have should provide for their basic needs, but these organizations don’t function without volunteers and money coming in. If you want to do something for the community of veterans, you could donate your money or your time.

Veterans are people who have given themselves to a very specific thing. Some have benefited greatly from their experience and others have suffered greatly. Luckily, there are services in place for veterans and many other ways that these people can get the help and support they need. Beyond physical and mental health, a good life comes from direction and the ability to transfer their skills into a new area.

The ways that veterans need assistance are clear. It’s not hard to determine the areas they could use more help. If we work towards providing these things and mitigating the bureaucracy that takes too long, veterans can create better lives that are healthy and happy.

Disney To Launch New Pinocchio Network

Granite Grok - Sat, 2022-12-17 02:30 +0000

After watching their quarterly earnings drop for a seventh consecutive time the masters of programming at Disney believe they have just the venture to overturn their capsizing business. Seizing on the spot soon to be vacated by a failing CNN network that can barely pull five hundred thousand viewers for their prime time programming, Disney has announced they will be launching their latest network named after their iconic fake boy Pinocchio. a winking Brian Stelter said:

Honesty was the best policy, b-u-u-u-t, as everyone knows, this is the era of mostly honest news. So who better to lead that charge than Pinocchio?”

Stelter has been made the new head Media Analyst after leaving CNN due to a lack of financial support where the company simply stopped paying him.

Stelter is looking to reinvent his image after taking a pounding over the past five years thanks in large part to fellow media analyst Mark Dice. Dice coined the phrase “little” Brian Stelter while heavily criticizing his approach to media analysis by parodying him using a now-famous alto-heavy impersonation. As Stelter’s CNN show “Reliable Sources” plummeted he managed to gain cult-like fame from Mark Dice whose show was the first conservative Youtube channel to reach 1 million followers.

After years of serving as Dice’s punching bag Stelter has an apt new look. Eager to become the face of the Pinocchio Network Stelter recently had plastic surgery to lengthen his nose by nearly five inches.

“Cyrano eat your heart out!” Stelter squeaks in his now famous high pitched tone while holding his profile for all to admire the nearly titanic shape of his new proboscis. “Do you smell that? That’s the smell of success,” boasts the analyst, famous for his mastery of rhetorical questions.

Stelter’s excitement is contagious in the largely wooden office space. It seems his colleagues from CNN are lining up outside to help staff the new media channel. Several former CNN producers, who left over a disagreement about their approach to childcare, are positioning themselves to head up the growing list of shows.

Ludlow, Vermont’s own John Griffin, currently in court over a babysitting mishap, has been tapped to oversee the prime time investigative show The Boy Who Cried Wolf Blitzer, where the show’s titular host spends the hour investigating and debunking children who lie. A trusted insider tells us they have evidence the entire Jeffery Espstein scandal was made up by some high school girls who either had daddy issues or were merely starved for attention.

The late night slot features a new look at today’s adult dating scene with relationship expert Chris Cuomo in the aptly named Cuomosexual. This variety show offers a little something for everyone. The Little Screen to Big Screen segment helps today’s teens learn the ins and outs of online dating as a platform to social media and Hollywood superstardom. Don’t Be A Drag Be A Queen offers tips and advice to young people interested in finding older male partners through book clubs. Lastly, we follow the host around the office in Hands On where we learn Cuomo’s special skills necessary to avoid workplace sexual harassment.

Turning our attention to foreign affairs the network has secured contracts with the formerly intelligent James Clapper and John Brennan in a seasonal series called Clap On Clap Off where they analyze the pros and cons of foreign policy. In a unique twist, a live studio audience helps them decide on policy initiatives such as thermonuclear war, enhanced interrogation and arms trafficking based on their applause. This show is sponsored by Cyphy who produce drones that tether to the ground while gathering the viewer’s private data. Very exciting.

Finally, for viewers wanting some comic relief you’ll be happy to hear about Louie, Loki and Lucy. This sitcom features gay dad’s Louie (Alec Baldwin) and Loki (Kevin Spacey) navigating the struggles of raising their adopted teen daughter Lucy (Amanda Smuttywinkle) as she struggles with being the only white girl in an all black inner city school. Lucy has to confront her own implicit bias as she teaches her dad’s about their white fragility and intrinsic racism as cis white men attempting to gentrify their neighborhood after buying several rental properties and opening a beauty salon. Hilarity ensues as the pale family is forced to confront their privilege in a variety of slap-happy episodes such as Car Jack and Jill, Cracker’s In A Barrel, and Make America Gangsta Again. Special guest appearances by Rupaul, Minister Louis Farakhan, The Reverend Al Sharpton, and Harley Pasternak are sure to entertain.

Monthly and annual subscriptions will be available via ROKU, Fubo and Disney LGBTQanon++.

NOTHING Sun-King Sununu Did To “Protect” Us From COVID Was Based On Science

Granite Grok - Sat, 2022-12-17 01:00 +0000

I know. I know; I know; I know; I know. I’m not supposed to criticize Sun-King Sununu. I’m supposed to PRETEND … like so many “conservatives” in New Hampshire choose to do … that he is not simply a Republican, but a solid Republican, the future of the Party, blah, blah, blah. You may choose to PRETEND; but all that means is that you are NOT really a conservative or a real Republican …. but merely a sycophant, a cultist and/or a mini-me grifter.

So let’s revisit how the Sun-King “protected” us from COVID, which Sun-King and his pathetic sycophants and mouthpieces told us was based on “the science.” THAT was a total LIE. From Tucker’s interview of Dr. Bhattacharya:

… I think government actors and also old media, old owners of Twitter, they wanted to create this illusion of consensus about The Science that didn’t actually exist,” he said. “They wanted to fool people into thinking that we are following the science when there was a robust debate among scientists about what the right thing to do was. And the consequence is schools closed, businesses closed, unvaccinated people lost their jobs because of mandates even though none of the persuasive science actually supported any of those positions. …

Dr. Bhattacharya is a Stanford medical professor and co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration. And in the interest of fairness, I will post what I am sure would be the response from Sun-King Sununu and his sycophants, such as NH-NeverTrump Journal’s Mikey Graham:

Bhattacharya is a secessionist and a conspiracy theorist.

Pete Buttigieg is a Legend, Just Ask Him

Granite Grok - Fri, 2022-12-16 23:30 +0000

Two years ago, Pete Buttigieg, or Mayor Pete, was a simple ex-mayor from Indiana. He was the Mayor of South Bend for eight years and had a failed attempt at a Presidential run in 2020.

He was the first openly-gay man to run for President. You cannot dispute Mayor Pete’s intelligence as he was Valedictorian of his high school class, graduated magna cum laude from Harvard, and was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to study at the University of Oxford. All of his studies were in the Arts and Politics. None of his studies prepared him for his current position as Secretary of Transportation. His ineptitude proves he is not the right person for the job.

Buttigieg has shown that taking time away from his job and responsibility to the country is something he can handle quite well. Pete was on a twelve-week maternity leave when the boats were stacked off our coast because our supply chain was severely broken. More recently, Buttigieg was on vacation in Portugal when our railroad workers threatened to shut down our economy.

Buttigieg claims to be concerned about Climate Change, yet he has taken a page from John Kerry’s book on traveling the globe. Why travel like everyday people on a commercial jet. He has booked 17 private jet trips in the two years he has been in Washington. These trips have cost American taxpayers over $900,000.. Pete owes us a check for these trips. Whatever the difference in fare between these luxury keys and commercial flights made out to U.S. Taxpayers.

What is it that corrupts a person so quickly when they arrive in D.C.? He came from Indiana, having held no office higher than Mayor. Joe Biden chooses him to be the Secretary of Transportation. He has no qualifications for the job, but he dropped out of the 2020 race paving the way for Biden to win the nomination and go on to defeat Donald Trump. This job for Buttigieg was a gift, payback. Everything in the Swamp is for future or past favors. This is the biggest problem with the swamp. Nothing is done for the benefit of the people but as payment for favors rendered.

How, with so little experience on a national level, could Pete Buttigieg be considered a contender for the Democrat nominee for President of the United States? As we have seen with the Biden Administration, diversity is key, even above competence and experience. Pete Buttigieg is an Ivy League educated gay man with a husband and twin children. These make him a star in the world of WOKE. How frightening is it to think that the Democrat Party is so shallow and so thin on talent that Mayor Pete could be on the ballot in 2024 with a good chance of bringing the first gay family to the White House? All it needs to start is for Joe Biden to step aside. The Progressives will support him, the Media will adore him, and the Democrat sheep will vote for him.

Conservatives must expose and shine a light on Pete Buttigieg to stop the momentum. We don’t need to get personal and attack his lifestyle, but we must highlight his incompetence and lack of dedication to the job he has been confirmed. This criticism will be easy, but it has to be loud enough to get the message across to the Left. The messaging will be a difficult task. It must be done.

Call to Action: Fight to Stop Sexual Abuse of Children in the NH Public Schools. CAUTION: Graphic Images

Granite Grok - Fri, 2022-12-16 22:00 +0000

NSFW – NOT SAFE FOR WORK or children. Yet, this is the kind of content that is now in Public School libraries thanks to Superintendents, staff, and School Board members that are either clueless, turning a blind eye, or totally all in on sexualizing our children.

Graphic images from Gender Queer, one of the top books infiltrating said libraries.

What we are seeing available to children in public schools has been shocking. Children now have access to pornographic and obscene material in their school library and the library App that they download on their iPads. This is not an effort to ban books, because this kind of obscene material can come through books, videos, magazines, or any other publication.

This is not about stopping sex education in schools. Parents already have the ability to examine the materials and opt out of materials if it’s not age appropriate. This is very different, this is about obscene pornography that should never be available to children through their local school.

Showing children this kind of obscene material is child abuse. At Stop it Now they say:

Showing pornographic pictures to a child is considered sexual abuse.

That is exactly what is going on in many of our public schools. Those who approve or support this are supporting a form of sexual abuse on children.

Purposely exposing a child to adult sexuality is considered a form of child sexual abuse, whether or not a child is touched.  Non-touching behaviors can be just as upsetting and emotionally harmful to a child as some touching behaviors. Non-touching behaviors that are considered to be child sexual abuse include:

  • Showing pornography to a child.
  • Exposing a person’s genitals to a child, or asking children to expose themselves.
  • Asking a child to interact sexually with someone else.
  • Online enticement of a minor for sexual purposes.
  • Photographing a child in sexual poses.
  • Exposing a child to sexual acts (including masturbation) either in person or through digital, computer or video images.
  • Watching a child undress or use the bathroom, often without the child’s knowledge (known as voyeurism or being a “Peeping Tom”).

Please note that although there may not be harmful intent, even having adult pornography or sexual toys in the home where a child could come across them has been viewed by authorities as sexual abuse in some circumstances. For complete information, see our definitions of child pornography.

Having viewed some of the content and pictures in some of the books offered to children in school, it is shocking that any adult would think some of this obscenity is ok to give to children. Surprisingly, I’m hearing that some of the administrators/ Superintendents are actually defending this!

School Board members are starting to hear from New Hampshire parents on this important issue. However, it is extremely disheartening to hear some people speak in favor of making this obscene material available to children. They’ve argued that they should not be banning books. They are not trying to ban books, they are trying to ban obscene and pornographic content available to children. Why? Because it’s considered sexual abuse of a child to make this available to children.

What can you do to stop the grooming and sexualization of children in your school?

We have obscenity laws that cover this kind of sexual abuse of a child. However, there has to be a determination that the material is in fact obscene. That means law enforcement officials like your County Attorney, must first categorize the content as obscene.

So the first thing you should do is call the county attorney and tell them you want a 650:6. This would mean that they would look at the material to determine if it is actually obscene.

If you have not looked at the books in your school, or the ones that are on the Sora App. you will want to begin by filing a Right to Know Request/91-a in order to scan the books to see what is offered to the children in your school. The district can provide you with an electronic card catalog from the school library, and also provide you a way to see what books are available on the Sora library app.

Some books may not meet the threshold of obscene; however, we are finding some that include pornographic pictures and text. The title of those books and screenshots of the obscene content should be taken to your country attorney to examine.

This is not a case against the LGBTQ+ community as some have suggested. Obscenity can come in various forms–gay or straight. Some of the books include child pornography with pictures and graphic depictions of adult and child sex.

A) Call to Action in YOUR district: 

1) Gather evidence : Names of books, copies of the obscene pictures, and text.  (File 91-a if needed)

2) Present this information to your county attorney.

B) RIGHT NOW WE NEED EVERYONE in New Hampshire TO CALL and EMAIL: 

3) Call the Attorney General’s office and the Governor’s office and tell them that this kind of sexual abuse in our schools needs to stop. JOHN COUGHLIN County Attorney Phone: (603) 627­-5605 AND Office of the Governor (603) 271-2121

4) Report all of this to Commissioner Frank Edelblut so he has a record of this content and that you’ve filed a complaint.
Louis.F.Edelblut@doe.nh.gov

5) Start calling for the resignations of those who are openly supporting this obscene material in your school. They are a danger to children.

 

 

 

 

 

This is also in the Hanover Public School system.

Friday Meme Overflow-Overflow

Granite Grok - Fri, 2022-12-16 20:30 +0000

To all those who are sending in memes, thank you!  Keep them coming please, as it helps me gather weaponry to fight the Left.  Please do share this post, and if you share an individual meme, consider mentioning you saw it on the Grok!

Speaking of, from this week, Monday Memes and Meme Overflow.  Also don’t forget my Survival Sunday feature, now in two parts:  PREP edition and SITREP edition.

 

*** Warning, a few possibly off-color ones, in case tender eyes are about ***

 

>>>>>=====<<<<<

The flow generally only goes one way – sheeple to our side.  Once the cognitive dam breaks and people start listening, they keep going further down the rabbit hole.  But it has to be organic.  You cannot IMPOSE information into someone, they just get defensive.  There has to be some kind of AHA! moment that triggers this.

I am waiting… praying… for such a moment with my Covidian (triple-Jabbed at least) wife.  I don’t know what that could be because she’s so deep in the tank for her “Pfizer whore” BFF.  But someday, I hope soon, someone will say something to her that makes her start to question.  Not just for her sake, though she’s far down the path, but to make sure our kids stay Pureblood.  (And, doubtless, if that happens she’ll be screaming mad at me because I didn’t tell her.  Sigh.  We almost divorced because she wouldn’t believe what I tried to tell her.)

Palate Cleanser – That Cool Breeze You Feel Down There When You Hit the Flush Lever…

Granite Grok - Fri, 2022-12-16 19:00 +0000

before standing up?  Yeah, it’s not a fan, and you won’t be a fan of it any longer.  Or, as this YouTube video puts it: “Shining a light on what comes up when you flush.” Yep, sometimes our attention needs to be on the mundane and icky parts of life – and this is one of them.

But what a techie setup they contrived in order  gross us out:

 

You’ve probably heard it before – if you don’t put the lid down on the toilet, droplets of filth will fly out when you flush it. Scientists have now visualized that process for the first time, in hopes of reducing it with better toilet designs. For at least 60 years now, it has been known that if you flush a toilet with its lid up, a plume of aerosolized toilet-water droplets will rise up out of the bowl. Those airborne droplets can then drift onto other surfaces in the bathroom, potentially spreading pathogens such as E. coli bacteria.

 

 

Two green lasers were then aimed on and above the toilet. One shone continuously, in order to show where in three-dimensional space the droplets were located, while the other laser rapidly pulsated, to measure the speed and direction of their movements. Two cameras recorded HD stills and video while the toilet was flushed – and the result was much more dramatic than anticipated.

“We had expected these aerosol particles would just sort of float up, but they came out like a rocket,” said Crimaldi.

For the most part, the droplet plume moved upward and back towards the lab’s rear wall. That said, much of it also rose straight up until it was blocked by the ceiling, at which point it spread forward into the room.

Gives new meaning to “PUT THE SEAT/LID DOWN!!!”. Yep, high tech bathroom humor…

Most studies have been done on the opposite direction – how to ensure that the “payload” that is supposed to go downward actually goes down and not stuck. Now they are quantifying what goes UP!  SCIENCE!

Now, how are they going to do the same thing with the various “odors” to make better ventilation systems?

From the source article:

I think most Americans are still of the mindset that they can vote their way out of this mess, even though they have been slapped in the face with blatant stolen elections in 2020 and 2022. They are expecting Trump or DeSantis to be their savior. That way they can stay on the couch and continue with their fantasy football.

Which brings up this must-read piece:

Diogenes’ Middle Finger: Or Maybe They’re Just Paranoid and Wrong About It All. (diogenesmiddlefinger.com)

The permanent (actual) ruling authoritarians allow the appearance of opposition solely to let the masses think they have a say, to out potentially dangerous opponents, and to direct opposition energies into harmless activity that does not really interfere with the rulers.

The GOP presidential wins in the last 40 years have occasionally been bothersome but never a mortal threat to the rulers’ goals. The growth of government, the vision of technocratic rule, and the ideal of an unaccountable elite move forward regardless of electoral outcomes.

Europeans, Asians, South Americans, and Africans have no rights as Americans understand the term. To them, a “right” is a permission granted by the State, with all sorts of procedures, fees, and restrictions layered onto it. As it is granted by the State, the State may retract it, or change the qualifications pertinent to it, at any time and for any reason. Nor does the process necessarily require parliamentary enactment. In lands other than ours, arbitrary decisions by nameless and faceless persons often determine the availability and scope of a “right.”

A right “given” by government is not a right, it is a privilege that government can take away.  The problem is that so many who are coming in have precisely this attitude – that governments grant rights, not G-d.  Related:

The Prospect of Nuclear War Is Getting too Close for Comfort | (paulcraigroberts.org)

Biden Regime Secretary of State Blinken has blocked negotiations between Russia and Ukraine by declaring it is US policy to drive Russia out of the reincorporated territories, including Crimea.

Biden’s announcement that the US will use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear threats, and the knowledge that US nuclear weapons are deployed close to Russia are forcing Putin to abandon his no first use of nuclear weapons pledge.

In other words, unlike the 20th century Cold War, today there is a hair-trigger on nuclear war. People who say nuclear war is impossible because there are no winners are out to lunch. Wars are the product of humans, and humans are emotional and stupid. They make mistakes hand over fist. Error is the human way.

Chris Sununu Spends 13 Minutes Bashing Republicans

Granite Grok - Fri, 2022-12-16 16:00 +0000

Our Governor never misses a chance to violate President Reagan’s 11th Commandment. Sununu was interviewed on lefty Chris Ryan’s show, New Hampshire Today, on Wednesday.

We want to thank Pam Brown, Ph.D. for this Op-Ed. Please submit it to Editor@GraniteGrok.com.

This was a 13-minute interview.

What does our “GOP” Governor do with this air time?   He spent the ENTIRE INTERVIEW — bashing Republicans.

The Governor used the full 13 minutes to deliver a series of nasty remarks about House Speaker Packard, Rep. Weyler, our GOP majority House (which he termed “wacky”), and various GOP Presidential hopefuls (the exception being Pence).

Did Sununu attempt to pivot away from Ryan’s “Republicans suck” narrative and explore the major successes of our GOP House and Senate? No.  Did he use his airtime to attack Biden’s policies? No. Did he spend most of the time warning listeners of the severe difficulties we now face due to Democrat policies – or exploring recent scandals of Dems and the NHDP’s election misconduct?  No.

Sununu spent ZERO SECONDS discussing the negatives — of Democrats.

Chris Ryan and Sununu embraced and wept together about the horrible GOP, its officials, and their problems. I listened so you don’t have to, but – listen to the interview:



Is Sununu a Republican?

He shows no loyalty to his own Party and its enduring track record of success. He evidences zero interest in promoting the GOP’s virtues and its country-saving policies. He dismisses his colleagues and speaks of GOP officials as if they are children and he’s “the adult”.  He happily giggles and babbles his way through these interviews as if no one is listening – sniping at his own Party while completely ignoring the insanity and destruction the Democrat Party is pursuing.

Well, we’re listening.

Sununu, the self-absorbed GOP wrecking ball should perhaps join Kyrsten Sinema and change his party affiliation.  Or start his own Solipsist Party, a party of one.

Setting the Record Straight

Granite Grok - Fri, 2022-12-16 14:30 +0000

As with other elections, I dealt with a number of inquiries on the 2014 Speakers election. This included several inaccurate representations of the race that took place that year. This also includes former and current House Representatives working for advocacy groups.

They are consistently giving me biased scores on their voter lists.

This letter will hopefully set the record straight!

Before the 2014 Speaker vote, Representative Jasper approached me and said he wanted to challenge Representative Obrien on the House floor to be Speaker. He told me he would do it if Bill Obrien didn’t prevail on the first vote. As in any election, a majority of the votes are required. He also told me I was on a list of three people to be the Majority Leader.

Because of a potential challenge, Bill Obrien supporters wanted a roll call vote. This differed from the traditional secret ballot. This caused the vote to take on a different outcome. Republican members that were less than supportive of Representative O’Brien felt that Speaker O’Brien’s handling of the NH House hadn’t changed since his previous election. The roll call vote failed, and the first vote was the traditional ballot vote. Bill O’Brien didn’t win on the first ballot vote, even though I voted for him.

Representative Jasper’s name was added as a candidate for Speaker. After several subsequent votes, some I didn’t vote on, Shawn Jasper was voted in as Speaker of the NH House of Representatives. Yes, mathematically, with both Democratic and Republican support.

After the vote, Speaker-elect Jasper approached me and told me I was his choice for Majority Leader. Although it wasn’t what he wanted to hear at the time, I asked him for time to consider his offer. He gave me a day! After consulting with friends, I accepted the position.

In conclusion, Bill O’Brien would have been Speaker for a second time if there weren’t a push for a roll call vote. Additionally, despite a divided caucus, we obtained a number of conservative policy changes that improved the state of New Hampshire. Finally, on a negative note, some friendships I established early on were not the same going forward. To that, I am sorry, Seth, Dan, and Fred.

These FACTS will hopefully end the confusion and falsehoods associated with the 2014 Speakers race.

Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump …

Granite Grok - Fri, 2022-12-16 13:00 +0000

NHJournal has a piece this week titled “NH Trump supporters largely silent as his poll numbers slide.” Someone sent me the link because GraniteGrok was mentioned in the report, so I took one for the team and went there to read it.

 

NHJournal contacted a dozen Granite State Republicans who have either actively supported Trump or voted for him in the past. The vast majority were unwilling to defend Trump on the record or express optimism about the current state of Trump’s campaign. The volume of pro-Trump advocacy on social media has also dropped, despite the Elon Musk era arriving at Twitter. And as of late Tuesday night, the far-right, pro-Trump website Granite Grok did not have a single headline mentioning Trump in its top 10 pages of posts.

 

For the record, ten pages of posts are 7-8 days of content at the alleged “far-right, pro-Trump,” website, so I guess we’re supposed to talk about Trump every week, or it’s a sign of something. As another “for the record,” it has been a lot longer since we mentioned Mr. Trump in a headline. Aside from his “I’m running” announcement in mid-November, there hasn’t been anything for regular folks to discuss.

Unlike journalists, we’re not obsessed with him because we’re not here for President Trump, Governor Sununu, or even the Republican party. They are here for us. We’re Constitutional Conservatives. That means we want to conserve the limitations placed on government by the Constitution. If a pol lines up to defend those rights, we might applaud that if it catches our eye. If they attack or undermine those principles, they might get a trip to the rhetorical woodshed.

Mr. Trump was good on the border and national security, the economy, keeping our enemies on their toes and advancing Middle East Peace. He encouraged policies that created jobs in America and helped wages and incomes rise. He favored fewer federal regulations, and under his leadership, fuel and energy prices went down, and with that, a lot of other things. He got snookered on the pandemic/vaccine thing, was lousy on federal spending, and got taken by the swamp he said he’d clean out.

They cleaned him out instead, and plenty of Republicans helped, as did NHJournal (read Ed Mosca).

And did you know that NHJournal (Inside Sources) is based/owned out of Virginia – I believe that’s still true. They have three sites, DCJournal (US Capitol), DVJournal (Delaware), and NHJournal. And I’m not positive, but I don’t think Michael Graham lives or works in New Hampshire.

Maybe none of that matters, but it’s been a while since we brought it up, in case anyone is keeping track.
