Stay Alert, America: The Worst Is Yet To Come...

Each cut, each attempt to undermine our freedoms, each loss of some critical right - to think freely, to assemble, to speak without fear of being shamed or censored, to raise our children as we see fit, to eat what we want and love who we want, to live as we want - they add up to an immeasurable failure on the part of each and every one of us to stop the descent down that slippery slope. It’s taken us 200 short years to destroy the freedoms our founders worked so hard to secure, and it’s happened with barely a whimper of protest from “we the people.”

Bond Bloodbath Becomes Buying-Panic As Treasury Yields Tumble Most Since June

Today was the deadline for hedge funds to submit their Q3 13-F filings, which considering they represent a snapshot in time as of Sept 30, prior to both the October volatility spike and the presidential election, are likely totally irrelevant by this time.

Devastated Left Calls For An End To The Electoral College

"Tolerant" Educators Exile Trump Voters From Campus

The Scenic Route To Hell

Regardless of who won the American presidential election, market collapses, debt defaults and an eventual currency collapse were baked in the cake. It’s safe to say that, should they occur in the next four years, as would seem likely, they would be blamed on the president, as they would happen on his watch. This being the case, in addition to the fact that conservative thinkers are aging and being replaced by collectivists, it’s very likely that the US is looking at its last Republican president.

John Oliver Has 30-Minute, On-Air, Nervous Breakdown Over Trump Victory - "It's Fucked Up!"

Goldman Just Killed The "Reflation Euphoria" - Concludes Global Growth Will Suffer Under Trump No Matter What

Secede And Decentralize: An Open Letter To Clinton Supporters

Dear Clinton Voters, I know this election has been painful for you. Many feel betrayed and even believe yourselves no longer living in the country you thought you were. Reflect on that pain and frustration for a moment. Now recognize how you feel now is how an equally large, possibly larger, number felt for the past eight years. Those who are of a liberty bent feel it all the time, no matter who ends up in office. Reflect on it, feel it, understand it, own it.

Can President Trump Really "Open Up Libel Laws"?

"The closest anyone gets to that are liberal academics who want to reinterpret the First Amendment to allow prohibitions of “hate speech” and other “hurtful” words. It seems unlikely that Trump would appoint any of these."

CLINTON CAMPAIGN INSIDER’S CONFESSION: Trump Protests Sponsored By Soros-Clinton Cabal

by SGT, SGT Report.com:

As Wayne Madsen is reporting, Hilary Clinton and George Soros have launched the «Purple Revolution» in America. Madsen writes, “The Purple Revolution will resist all efforts by the Trump administration to push back against the globalist policies of the Clintons and soon-to-be ex-President Barack Obama. The Purple Revolution will also seek to make the Trump administration a short one through Soros-style street protests and political disruption.”
We KNOW who is behind this, and we are putting them on notice, there will be a changing of the guard on January 20th, 2017. Who will protect you from the long arm of the law then?

Film Director Paul Schrader Calls For “Violence” to Stop Donald Trump

Leftist vitriol in aftermath of Trump’s victory accelerates
by Paul Joseph Watson, Infowars:
Film director Paul Schrader has openly called for “violence” to stop Donald Trump in an angry Facebook post that illustrates the level of vitriol many on the left have resorted to since Trump’s victory.

Schrader, who was involved with hit films Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and The Last Temptation of Christ, responded to Trump’s election with an alarming rant on his official Facebook page.

“I have spent the last five days meditating on Trump’s election. Upon consideration, I believe this is a call to violence. I felt the call to violence in the 60’s and I feel it now again,” wrote Schrader.

Fearmongering Propaganda Is Immensely Profitable–and Distracting

by Charles Hugh Smith, Of Two Minds:
If you want to stop being played as a chump, turn off the CNN/MSM and disengage from the self-referential social media distraction.
Let’s start by asking: if Trump had lost and his supporters had angrily taken to the streets, destroying private property and threatening police officers while proclaiming “not my president,” would the mainstream media have characterized the rioters differently than it has the pro-Clinton rioters?
Any fair-minded observer knows the answer is yes: the CNN/MSM would have lambasted the “rioting deplorables” as “what’s wrong with America.”
Substitution is a useful tool to expose bias. How come the CNN/mainstream corporate media isn’t declaring the pro-Clinton rioters “deplorables”?

Obama Has Been DUMPED — Restoring Relations with Putin’s Russia Is Now Key

from LaRouchePAC:
The opening of negotiation and potential collaboration among Russian President Putin, incoming U.S. President-elect Trump, and China’s President Xi is now the sine qua non to take the world away from the brink of world war, and thus allow economic revival especially in the United States and Europe.
No one — neither Trump, nor any other nation or major party, should be negotiating with Barack Obama. Obama is finished; his TPP and TTIP “trade deals” are finished; his “Assad must go” promotion of jihadis to take over Syria is finished; his attempted “pivot to Asia” to defeat China, is finished. So too, is his long defense of Wall Street from the ire of the American people.

Liberals Scared to Death by Their Own Caricature of Trumpettes

by David Haggith, The Great Recession Blog:
Everyone must stop saying they are “stunned” and “shocked.” What you mean to say is that you were in a bubble and weren’t paying attention to your fellow Americans and their despair. YEARS of being neglected by both parties, the anger and the need for revenge against the system only grew. Along came a TV star they liked whose plan was to destroy both parties and tell them all “You’re fired!” Trump’s victory is no surprise. He was never a joke. Treating him as one only strengthened him. –Michael Moore on the failure of both political parties in America

Muslim Crowds Shout ‘Allahu Akbar’ And Declare To Italians- ‘Build Us Mosques Or We Will Take Over The Vatican!’

by Walid Shoebat, Freedom OutPost:
The Muslim invasion of Europe is destroying her cities and turning them into Muslim ghettos. Rome is having a huge problem with this, as there are so many Muslims they are literally taking over the streets of the city and turning them into a mosque.
The Italian government has been fighting back, closing mosques and restricting their activity, but they are undeterred. In fact, they are so emboldened that they have declared that the Italian government give them what they wish or else they will take over the Vatican and pray in it:

Sorry Snowflake But It’s Not Over…

by Francis Marion, The Burning Platform:
It’s Nov 10th and it’s time to face the music.
For those of you on the left I know it is hard. You are confused, bewildered and deeply, deeply saddened. Maybe even triggered. You probably missed work or school yesterday, called in sick or simply didn’t get out of bed. That’s ok though because your Indigenous Women’s Studies prof said it was ok to skip the exam today. Everyone is getting an A as a morale builder. So cheer up.
But unfortunately that doesn’t really explain anything. How did this happen? It wasn’t supposed to happen. But it did. How could the polls be so wrong? What about the entire media? How?

The Far Left Is Planning The Biggest Political Protest In United States History For Inauguration Day

by Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream:
We have seen very large protests in major cities all over America since Donald Trump won the election, but the biggest one of all is being planned for January 20th. Radical leftists are calling for thousands upon thousands of activists to descend upon Washington D.C. on Inauguration Day, and they are planning to disrupt the inauguration festivities as much as they possibly can. And if you doubt that the “Not My President” movement can pull this off, you may want to consider that 25,000 protesters showed up in New York City on Saturday on very short notice. These people are bitter, angry, frustrated and incredibly motivated. At this point they still have more than two months to organize their forces, and many are expecting that this is going to be the most chaotic Inauguration Day in American history.
