As you can plainly see from listening to these people, it isn't the smart ones who are dangerous. It is the stupid ones. They are more likely to go along with whatever they are told because they have zero critical thinking skills, are lazy, degenerate and, most importantly, easily flattered and caught up in their own grandiose vision of themselves. The left consists of people born of Dunning-Krueger and Bolshevism.

“A tyrant needs above all a tyrant-state, so he will use a million little civil servant tyrants who each have a trivial task to perform, and each will perform that task competently, and without remorse, and no one will realize that he is the millionth link in the final act.”

From: Henri Verneuil‘s film I Comme Icare >>> Release date: Dec 19, 1979

Very accurately stated! It's the "collective stupidity" that Bonhoeffer described, the "human defect" that blinds many of us to reason or facts and with individuals such as this they believe in their own self importance and ignorance of reality as marks of success.

The name-drop of 'Michelle Obama' was hilarious, 'She was like, 'empathetically' NO!'

The word is *emphatically* dude.

Plausible deniability? He can claim he was coerced to save his job?

Truly, the least capable, dumbest people end up in Government service.

I dodged a bullet in 1972 when I scored 100% on a Civil Service exam, but was told I was the wrong color to be hired.

I guess that's one way to look at it. The other is that once the racist, unconstitutional affirmative action laws were put into place we guaranteed that millions of competent people such as yourself were locked out. That and the "great society" legislations guaranteed that we would end up right here where we are today.

All great empires fall from the inside due to incompetence and depravity. Russia is really the one remaining superpower on the planet because they have a closed system with their own currency and resources, their own manufacturing and weapons systems far superior to the US in many respects, primarily the quantity. This is all a result of competent civil services (and...a largely homogenous population).

Bingo. My experience was in California. CA has suffered from 50 years of unchecked illegals. Add corrupt politicians (3 families in particular: Brown, Newsom, Pelosi) and "fake news" before the USA knew it was fake...perfect storm for power and control.

Agree to a certain extent about Russia, but Iceland falls into this category, too. Not Communist, but they are now suffering the influx of illegals and a corrupt leader. Sad, because our family is of Icelandic descent, going back to 800 A.D.

Yes, I knew Jews of European ancestry had a tough time with records, because so much was destroyed from the Holocaust, and the bombings.

I had luck with an Icelandic volunteer group. I had also heard that Scottish (us) ancestors had difficulties from records being destroyed. Such as flaming arrows being fired into churches, castles, etc. Don't know if that's true, but it was a History Professor of UK ancestry who told us in her class.

We're not that far apart in age - my late Mom born 1929. Our folks were tough stock. To her last days, Mom used scraps of paper to write on, like junk mail envelopes and the backs of ads. LOL. The apple falls not far from the tree, because if I print something and IF an extra page prints, I hack those up into 4 pieces, use those as scratch paper.

Difficult to ignore that O’Keefe’s “marks” are consistently gay men in date “prowl” mode.

Always anxious to brag to impress their would-be dates.

It’s no coincidence that OMG targets them for a reason. Emotionally immature, making them easy targets. Dime a dozen in demville.

And the current "group" to be fooled. Past groups celebrated and then dumped...Japanese (reparations), Chicano, American Indians/First Nation, Blacks, Just plain Gays. Dems love their groups for virtue signaling purposes. Lying for votes.

Then again, one has to assume that intelligence agencies and others track every move O’Keefe makes. So this might have been yet another (like The NY Times acknowledging Biden’s cognitive issues) way to help prepare the public for Biden’s replacement and the dumping of his VP.

Boom.

I'm totally with you on this one. It sounded amazingly like a leak opportunity, but the Obama spouse non-candidacy drivel is deceptive denial. They haven't spent these years conditioning public transgender acceptance for no good reason. "Mike" is definitely a "go"...

Just yesterday was talking to a federal contractor about the ‘dumbing down’ of federal hires/promotions seen in the last 5/10 years. They question nothing, talk nonsense about project details, everything is a ‘spin’ response so you know they are clueless. One might think all these clueless people brought into lead positions is intentional. Someone ought to look into it.. it’s wide spread.

It's worldwide, too. A feature, not a bug. Look at the Prime Ministers, leaders in power who have attended the WEF. Kissinger and Schwab had a plan a LONG time ago. This has taken years to implement.

This totally reminds me of the movie "mystery Men" where they fun of superman with the glasses. When the shoveller says that doesn't make any sense if lance hunt took took his glasses off to become captain amazing he couldn't see.

But james took off his. I love the way he looked at the camera at the end. Not only was the security risk talking to James he could also be heard from a nearby table.

I doubt he is that dumb. My guess is that he knew who he was talking to. So what he says should be viewed as misdirection. Therefore do not believe the alleged first hand story about Michelle Obama's emphatic "no" to a Presidential run. That is intended to keep scrutiny and potential opposition away from her for the longest possible time. On the other hand, if you don't agree with me, and you think he is just an idiot, you should not give any credence to what he says; in fact you should assume that he is way off. So this way too you probably should interpret the interview as a signal that Michelle Obama will be the nominee! [Insert Smiley Face if allowed by Substack]

This video may be a fraud.

I can find no information about this guy Charlie Kraiger who claims to work for the White House. If he did, there would be plenty of info about him.

So, until I find some corroborating info about this man's identity, I'm calling this story totally unreliable.
