“We cannot achieve our goals if there are threats or acts of violence. This movement is a peaceful protest & we do not condone any acts of violence, etc. We know there will be activists working at the behest of global authoritarians & think tanks to sabotage our movement. Because of this, we must have a zero-tolerance approach to aggressive behaviour & violence.”

US AMBASSADOR TO ALBANIA SHOCKINGLY USES PHRASE FROM COMMUNIST DICTATOR TO PRESSURE ALBANIAN GOVERNMENT TO DO HER BIDDING

“DON’T EAT GRASS FOR YOUR OWN INTEREST”

Ambassador of the United States in Albania, Yuri Kim has penned an open letter of sorts to Prime Minister Edi Rama and leader of the Democratic Party Lulzim Basha, reminding them that the US wants a partner in Albania “not a problem.”

In one of her more measured comments, she called on “leaders to reflect and take courageous action.” She added that they should “show who you are and what you think this country deserves.”

On the topic of the recent general election, Kim referred to them as “good but not perfect”. She chose not to mention the fact that further electoral reforms are needed, as is attention on party financing, data security, media freedom, and depoliticizing the administration. It also didn’t mention recommendations to investigate and prevent vote-buying, and the way the government weaponized state resources to aid them in their campaign.

On the topic of justice reform, she claimed, “five years after laws were passed, justice reform is delivering real results that will help end impunity.”

She also noted achievements such as hosting the “largest US-led military exercise in the Balkans since WWII”, signing a Memorandum on Economic Agreement, the Skavica hydropower plant, bringing Liquid Natural Gas through Vlora, Albania’s EU accession journey, and Rama’s “successful” Chair-in-Office of the OSCE, despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

Despite this, the Ambassador noted that they should not just look back in satisfaction, but rather forward with hope and determination “to make even more progress in democracy, defense, and business.”

As for the future, she noted that on January 1st, 2022, Albania will take on the “most significant role ever on the world stage, sitting on the UN Security Councill alongside the UK, China, Russia, and France.

She also spoke of the expectation that more US investment will come to the country. However, “much will depend on the demands of the Albanian people and the choices of Albanian leaders.”

The most recent State Department report on investments and business in Albania found that it is a “difficult place to do business”, due to “corruption, particularly in the judiciary, a lack of transparency in public procurement, and poor enforcement of contracts”.

Overall, US investors find corruption and the perpetuation of informal business practices as a barrier. In fact, several US investors have faced commercial disputes in the country, including some that went to international arbitration.

Kim faced controversy last week when she alluded to a famous quote by former dictator Enver Hoxha and used it against the Albanian opposition.

Last week, after a meeting at the PD headquarters with Basha, Kim told journalists that the opposition leader is responsible for making sure the party will enter parliament “accompanied by members [of parliament] who are worthy of representing Albania.”

She had asked Basha to dismiss Sali Berisha from the parliamentary group before parliament convenes in September. Berisha was elected by voters in the general election.

“It would be a historic irony but also a tragedy for this country, not just the party if the party were to eat grass for the sake of one man’s personal interest,” Kim stated, after praising the PD’s role in taking down the communist regime in Albania in the early ‘90s.

The “grass-eating” metaphor mirrors a statement made by Albania’s former communist dictator Enver Hoxha in 1961, at a time when the Soviet Union was cutting economic aid to his regime and Albania fell into isolation.

For decades, under the communist dictatorship, the statement was used as a propaganda tool to express Albanians’ blind trust in the dictatorship and their loyalty to its principles, but after the fall of the regime, it was used to ridicule the communist system and as a warning against self-destruction.

"...if there's corruption, criminal activity, and malfeasance, to use your words, then the American people are not -- they're going to be very unforgiving," Flynn said. "So it's better to come out sooner than later, because if it comes out later, I'm afraid that the American people will take actions into their own hands."

He spoke as amid GOP-led audits of 2020 presidential election votes in Arizona's Maricopa County and in Georgia's Fulton County.

"What I'm trying to encourage is local action has a national impact. Get involved in your communities," Flynn said. "I'm seeing more and more people get involved at the local, township, parishes, and county levels. And American people are not – they're like a pit bull right now on this ...

💥 There's a reason democrats are losing their toupees over trying to get the audit shut down.

The astounding level of corruption in elections is just the start. Patrick Byrne joins Tore for an interview covering his new book "The Deep Rig". Patrick also describes his activist organizations, Arizona audit news, the election fraud evidence, bamboo ballots, pitiful corrupt Dims, and physical intimidation from BLM and Antifa. There's more. The Plum Island move, public involvement fighting it, the free future of America, and real plans to get us there. These two great patriots agree the weeks ahead will be historic. This discussion provides hope that good prevails over evil, and the light of truth will soon shine through.

I've been too busy living it to keep you folks updated. There should be something big soon and then we can talk.

Hi Team. Back in the West.

I've been out of touch for a week. I am back in the West and will be catching up with everything as soon as I get settled in my hotel in Switzerland.

Covid-1984

George Orwell's prescient work 1984 foresees tyranny's need for propaganda that renders listeners incapable of critical thought, to the point that they cannot process what is in front of their eyes.

 

Fine illustration was given in the early minutes of the movie 1984, as we learn the daily routine of Winston (the protagonist). To a loudspeaker incessantly broadcasting statistics demonstrating Big Brother's progress in all areas of life, we witness their physical impoverishment (a colleague asking for a razor blade learns that Winston has been using the same blade for six weeks), as well as (through another colleague) Big Brother's assault on language as a way to control thought. We also witness the inability of the brainwashed to process the world they inhabit: the loudspeaker's lies about Big Brother's successes cheers up Parson while he works his way through a bowl of mush and meat-substitute. He is so indoctrinated he cannot process the reality in which he is sitting or even the food he is tasting.

 

Here is another situation that resembles this scene from 1984. Yesterday in the United States Senate, a British actuary presented the following information from the UK (which has excellent public health surveillance): getting vaccinated makes one somewhere between 26% and 145% more likely to die.

 

British data shows that all-in mortality is 26% to145% higher for vaccinated than non-vaccinated

 

Yet I know plenty of educated, normally sensible people, who cheerfully continue their defense of Big Brother's handling of Covid-19. They espouse their willingness to continue subjecting themselves to shots with all the alacrity of 1984's Parson, reciting statistics about Big Brother's successes while shoveling down gruel and meat-substitute with gusto.
