These are not just uniforms, they’re reminders. Reminders of how white supremacy has hidden itself behind religion, law, and state power, claiming God’s name while denying God’s image in black bodies.

From the hood to the pulpit. From the bench to the badge. From “law and order” to “Christian values.”

Too often, the Church has been silent, or worse, sanctified injustice, confusing power with righteousness and control with holiness.

But Jesus never aligned Himself with oppression. He stood with the crucified, not the crucifies.

Any Christianity that excuses racism, blesses brutality, or defends systems that harm the least of these is not the Gospel, it’s a distortion of it.

The Church must repent, resist, and return to the liberating Jesus who came “to set the oppressed free.”

The MAGA cult wants you to believe that the people in the image do not exist. They want you to believe that gun ownership on the left is nearly non-existent, and that those on the left who DO own firearms are certainly not proficient with them. They don't want you to believe this to convince YOU — they want you to believe this because they are f***ing terrified of what's in this image.

This is a counterprotest organized by a John Brown Gun Club chapter. There was a MAGA demonstration going on, and they showed up and made their presence known. There was no violence that day. And if I had to make an educated guess, I'd say these folks being armed is a major reason there was no violence. Because again, MAGA is a movement for cowards.

The simple FACT is that most right-wing nuts only feel tough when they have the upper hand. When they see photos like this, they have to call them fake, minimize their meaning, or claim these people couldn't possibly know how to use firearms. Because when the field is level, those on the right are absolutely scared out of their miniscule, drug-addled brains.

Let's be honest, the entire conservative movement is about fear. They project masculinity and courage — particularly on Facebook — but every belief they have stems from a fear of something. They create their own reality. It's why elections are "rigged," news is "fake," science is "biased," education is "indoctrination," and protesters are "paid."

Are there tough guys on the right? Absolutely. But the feigned toughness and masculinity you see on Facebook? The little men claiming the folks in this image would be dispatched posthaste? The ones who slide into the comments and your inbox with threats — convincing themselves they're tough because they talked trash on FACEBOOK?

That makes up the MAJORITY of MAGA. For f*** sake, look at their leader: a flabby, old man who has to pay for sex and never had to work a day in his life. That's why they NEED this image to be fake. They NEED these gun owners to be inexperienced. They NEED those rifles to be .22s or "dildos" (yep, that's a common reply from them in my comments).

Furthermore, they need an armed left to not exist... because if one does, there's nothing that makes them more dangerous than us. And in their petrified little brains, that's more terrifying than a familial blood test at a MAGA themed wedding.

Get armed. Get trained. Stand back and stand by.

 

United States Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Jeffrey Epstein owned a business together years after Epstein was found guilty of trafficking minors the first time in 2008.

The problem? Lutnick has now been caught lying about not only his dealings with Epstein but clearly never "parted ways" like he has claimed on camera, has also been to the island and has spent significant time with Epstein. Thanks to the files he has been now caught lying about all of it.

Lutnick and Epstein each signed on behalf of limited liability companies on Dec. 28, 2012. They acquired stakes in a advertising technology company called Adfin.

Epstein and Lutnick continued to maintain their relationship for years after this including emails showing them making plans and meeting up. In December of 2012 Lutnick brought his family including their four children to visit Epstein Island.

As a Reminder Epstein also used apps like Signal and WhatApp that delete your messages within hours of being read. We are also waiting on 3 million more Epstein documents from our DOJ as well.

Lutnick needs to resign immediately and our DOJ and FBI are comromised.

 

Senator Ruben Gallego just laid out the most powerful plan yet to stop Trump from stealing the 2026 midterms—and it's breathtaking in its simplicity.

If Trump tries to "nationalize the vote" and rig our elections, Gallego says we shut it ALL down. A general strike. Nationwide.

"If you're a pilot, do not show up. If you drive a train, do not show up. If you're a teacher, do not show up. We grind the country to a halt."

And here's the part that should make every billionaire nervous: "If we have to destroy the stock market to save democracy, we need to accept that. The richest and most powerful people in the world need to understand that that is a real possibility. There is no economic stability without democratic stability."

This is what real resistance looks like. Not just protest. Not just hashtags. Total shutdown.

The message to Trump is clear: Try to steal our democracy, and we'll make sure you have nothing left to rule over.

Senator just unveiled the plan to SHUT DOWN THE COUNTRY if Trump rigs 2026:

While discussing the SAVE Act among the right wing, they are very dubious that it is designed to disenfranchise voters.

 

To briefly recap, the SAVE Act will add a hurdle particularly to married women, who will need to trace their name change to prove citizenship.

 

This hurdle is designed to lower voter turnout among women, because over 50% of women vote Democrat.

 

How do I know this is their intention?

Gerrymandering efforts tie into this.

 

Thomas Hofeller was a GOP strategist. When he died, his daughter released all of his files.

Those files revealed the methods and intentions of GOP gerrymandering. They use demographics in this exact same manner to disenfranchise voters in red states. Demographics are everything if you want to steer the outcome of a vote.

 

If you spend the time to understand the contents of the Hofeller Files, and the GOP strategy when it comes to targeting demographics, the SAVE Act fits perfectly into their ongoing strategies.

Polling locations central to the Black demographic were closed in red states leading up to the 2024 election because over 80% of Black voters vote Democrat.

This is all fairly simple math and statistics.

 

The right likes to call me misogynistic and racist for implying Blacks are too lazy to go to a different polling locations, or that Women are too lazy to gather paperwork.

This is just basic human nature, and the road map to exploit that human nature was laid out in detail by Thomas Hofeller.

 

Republicans are digging a very deep grave for themselves.

 

Chelsea Manning revealed what modern war looks like when the cameras are not invited.

In 2010, she leaked classified military files that documented civilian deaths, torture, and rules of

engagement that contradicted public statements. The footage later known as Collateral Murder

showed civilians and journalists killed from the air, followed by laughter. The reports showed

patterns, not accidents.

The response was swift and severe.

Manning was arrested, charged under the Espionage Act, and sentenced to decades in prison.

She spent long stretches in solitary confinement. Her treatment was condemned by human

rights groups as cruel and degrading. The state framed accountability as treason. Transparency

as danger.

Public debate focused less on the evidence she exposed and more on punishing the person

who exposed it.

She was misgendered. Mocked. Reduced to a symbol rather than recognized as a

whistleblower who forced the public to confront realities hidden behind official language. The

dehumanization was not incidental. It was part of the deterrent. Make an example so others stay

silent.

The disclosures mattered. They reshaped journalism, fueled global conversations about war

crimes, and forced institutions to answer questions they had avoided for years. The cost was

not abstract. It was lived, daily, inside a cell.

Chelsea Manning did not profit from exposure. She lost freedom, safety, and privacy. What she

gained was not redemption. It was proof that truth telling carries a price precisely because it

threatens power.

Her story is not about perfection. It is about consequence. When the truth is treated as the

crime, punishment becomes the policy.

If exposing violence is labeled betrayal, what does loyalty demand we ignore?

 

The Big Reveal: It Was Epstein’s Psyop All Along

Trump’s paranoia about the files is not about his sexual deviance. It’s because they prove he’s a loser.

Jim Stewartson

Feb 03, 2026

On June 26, 2016, during the thick of the U.S. presidential campaign, infamous pedophile Jeffrey Epstein triumphantly emailed broligarch Peter Thiel about Brexit, the shocking result that separated the UK from the EU—a result ensured by Cambridge Analytica, which went on to help Trump:

EPSTEIN: “brexit, just the beginning”

THIEL: “Of what?”

EPSTEIN: “return to tribalism. counter to globalization. amazing new alliances. you and I both agreed zero interest rates were too high, and as i said in your office. finding things on their way to collapse, was much easier than finding the next bargain”

Epstein was articulating the core deviance, nihilism, and arrogance, of the techno-fascist movement embodied in people like Thiel, Musk, and JD Vance—and sold to the masses through false prophets like Curtis Yarvin. It is a distillation of the immorality at the bottom of the Dark Enlightenment: Destroy it all and profit by picking through the wreckage.

But Epstein was no mere observer. He was the chief orchestrator of the seditious conspiracy to destroy Hillary Clinton and get his old friend and rape partner Donald Trump elected to the presidency.

The Big Reveal of the Epstein files is not that Trump is a sadistic r*pist. We all knew that already—and the truth is that Trump doesn’t mind people knowing it. Trump believes his sadism and his dominance over females makes him look strong.

The Big Reveal is actually that Donald Trump couldn’t win the 2016 election without cheating. It was engineered—by Jeffrey Epstein, Peter Thiel, and Russian intelligence.

Big Day

On Oct 7, 2016, an emergency lunch meeting was set in New York City by Jeffrey Epstein with Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel, and Russian Ambassador to the UN, Vitaly Churkin.

Several hours later that day, the infamous Access Hollywood video came out—a shocking bit of backstage banter that, although it barely hinted at Trump’s true misogyny and narcissism, nevertheless threatened Trump’s flailing campaign. Watch:

https://youtu.be/fYqKx1GuZGg

But this blockbuster video got little breathing room because it was followed immediately by the release of Clinton aide John Podesta’s Russian-hacked emails on Wikileaks—just 30-60 minutes later.

Almost like they were waiting for it.

Petergate Podesta’s emails, despite being pretty boring by and large, were systematically reengineered by alt-right online trolls to mean that Hillary Clinton was involved in child sex trafficking—by alleging “pizza” was “code” for example. Many of those trolls were paid by Peter Thiel’s PAC MAGA3X which was organized with the specific purpose of running covert influence operations for Trump.

Mike Flynn and Erik Prince both worked to amplify these false, deliberately traumatic narratives about Podesta and a cabal of Satanic pedophiles run by Hillary. This was done in large part through Breitbart, which was run by Epstein’s close friend Steve Bannon, and funded by Thiel bankroll Rebekah Mercer.

Additional firepower for these psychological operations was provided by Wagner chief Yvgeny Prigozhin’s Internet Research Agency (IRA)—later charged by Robert Mueller with election interference.

Up to 600 Russians were dedicated to delivering online propaganda in the 2016 election on Twitter and Facebook. All of it was devoted to smearing Hillary Clinton and electing Donald Trump.

The systematic propaganda attack on Hillary, which mirrored Epstein and Trump’s own documented child rape, was later branded as Pizzagate—and extended by QAnon. It was all large-scale projection designed to swing a presidential election through psychological warfare.

Peter Thiel was the only major donor who supported Trump in the wake of Trump’s comments about grabbing women by the genitals on video—by publicly donating $1.25 million dollars in the immediate aftermath, despite numerous Trump defections.

Palantir had previously been caught planning to run a covert influence operation on Wikileaks and Glenn Greenwald for Bank of America.

A month after Trump’s inauguration, Vitaly Churkin suddenly died—cause of death “unclear.” While no windows were involved, it is widely understood this was not a natural death.

It turns out we were all looking for “Russian collusion” in the wrong place the whole time. The PayPal Mafia and Russian intelligence were just part of Epstein’s plan—not the other way around.

Extensive Connections: Epstein, Thiel, Russia

While I have only looked through a tiny fraction of the 50% of the Epstein files the Trump regime has released, the tight connection between Jeffrey Epstein, the Russian government, and Peter Thiel is undeniable.

This dirty triangle goes back many years. Thiel was introduced to Epstein by John Brockman sometime in 2009, and the relationship between Thiel and Epstein continued all the way until Epstein’s arrest in 2019. Thiel is mentioned 2,696 times in the files.

The triangle of Epstein, Thiel, and the Russians goes back to at least 2014. The meeting below for example, with Epstein’s two most active Russian handlers, both of whom were in regular contact with Putin.

Epstein also introduced Thiel to a third Russian contact two weeks after Trump came down the escalator.

And there is this timely meeting in Summer 2015: Epstein, Musk, Thiel, and Zuckerberg.

Surely, nothing nefarious was discussed?

There are numerous meetings between Thiel, Epstein and Russian proxies leading up to the 2016 elections, including meetings at Thiel Capital, run by white nationalist Jeff Giesea—who also ran Thiel’s PAC MAGA3X. Epstein met with Thiel alone face-to-face several times and they had frequent phone calls throughout the year.

Epstein and Guccifer2

One astonishing email exchange came on June 15th, 2016—the day Russian-cutout Guccifer2 first dropped hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee. Within hours, Vincenzo Iozzo, Epstein’s private black hat hacker, sent the link to Epstein, who shrugged:

“fun, but the only important ones would be hillarys secret”

Iozzo replied that Epstein would “need to wait for Wikileaks for those :)”

40 days later, Wikileaks published a huge dump of DNC hacked material.

While Epstein was careful about not discussing anything potentially illegal over email, it is impossible to look at the sequence of events, and the players that Epstein was communicating with and when, and not come to the conclusion that he was at a minimum a major part of the operation that ultimately destroyed Hillary Clinton’s candidacy.

Epstein was no sideshow; he was central.

The Big Reveal Is a Warning

It’s bad enough to look back at the last decade of American chaos and realize that it’s all the result of Jeffrey Epstein’s project, but now the team that Epstein assembled for the 2016 election are some of the richest and most powerful people in America.

While the President of the United States was chosen by Jeffrey Epstein, the Vice President was chosen by Peter Thiel. JD Vance is eagerly waiting for his chance to play his role in the downfall of the American Experiment.

But for what?

What is it these people want, since they have more money than most entire nations? Let me give you an example.

Here is a journal of a young Epstein victim, who was trapped in Epstein’s New Mexico Zorro Ranch. Warning: It is one of the most heartbreaking things I have ever read. It tells how she was enslaved, impregnated, and had her babies taken away. Over and over and over.

Zorro Ranch, which Epstein described as a “pretty unusual and private place” was familiar to Peter Thiel, who was happy to go, even though the livestock on this ranch was people.

What Epstein was doing at his ranch, on his island, and all around him was creating an alternate morality, a separate world unconcerned about laws or common decency. He wanted to be able to quench his thirst for r*pe without fear of consequences. He wanted to be a god above others—and to spread his DNA in bulk.

That is exactly the goal of Peter Thiel‘s “seasteading” and “Network State” projects as well: to be able to escape from the bounds of modern society, to return to a world where might makes right and the only rule of law is the rule of superior violence.

That is the kind of “freedom” a world of surveillance, state violence, and regime media will get them. That is a world where a few make the rules and the rest of us serve them.

They want to turn America into Zorro Ranch.

It’s up to us to never let that happen.
