Legacy media and election interference
September 03, 2024
post photo preview

The legacy media in the United States are clearly engaging in election interference. They did it in 2020, and they’re doing it again in 2024. Their editorial, “Trust and Safety,” and other policies emphasize the “progressive” agenda over the truth. As such they are committing fraud as a matter of policy. The only reason to hope their campaign will fail, is that dissension is growing in the ranks. That dissension allows the reading/listening/viewing public to see this election interference for what it is.

Examples of legacy media election interference

For example, Kristen Welker of NBC News has consistently shown a blatant disregard for the truth, especially in Presidential politics. Last fall she told former President Donald J. Trump to his face that “there’s just no evidence” that President Joe Biden ordered the Department of Justice to indict Trump. But nearly a year and a half earlier, The New York Times carried a piece talking about the dilemmas Attorney General Merrick Garland faced when examining the cases in the wake of the January 6 event.

The attorney general’s deliberative approach has come to frustrate Democratic allies of the White House and, at times, President Biden himself. As recently as late last year, Mr. Biden confided to his inner circle that he believed former President Donald J. Trump was a threat to democracy and should be prosecuted, according to two people familiar with his comments. And while the president has never communicated his frustrations directly to Mr. Garland, he has said privately that he wanted Mr. Garland to act less like a ponderous judge and more like a prosecutor who is willing to take decisive action over the events of Jan. 6.

Frustrate … President Biden himself? Such frustration should neither exist nor be at issue – yet it was. And Kristen Welker denied that – to the face of the man most affected.

Moreover, events have shown that perhaps Mr. Garland should have taken a more “deliberative approach” than he has taken. If he had, perhaps the case of Fischer v. United States would not have embarrassed him so.

That’s not all. Kristen Welker pushed the well-documented Russia Hoax, suggesting Trump owed his election in 2016 to the Kremlin.

Popping noises? Really?

Fast forward to shortly after the attempt on Trump’s life. NBC said the Secret Service bundled Trump off the stage at the Butler Farm Fair after “popping noises” rang out. Why Kristen Welker dared show her face at the Republican National Convention is a mystery for another day. But clearly she shouldn’t have. Savannah Hernandez of Turning Point USA challenged her on that bit of distortion. And she stared back like a doe in headlights, then ran like a rabbit.

https://x.com/sav_says_/status/1813200080578428974

The full description comes from The Daily Mail, now coming into its own as a challenger to legacy media.

The Arlington Hoax

But the worst example happened yesterday morning. Welker is, of course, a hostess on NBC’s Meet the (De)Press(ed). At issue was President Trump’s decision to lay a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery to honor thirteen U.S. service members who died in a bomb attack at the Kabul Airport on the last day of the American withdrawal from Afghanistan. During the ceremony, some of Trump’s staff took photos and videos. Immediately a narrative sprang up – with complicity from the Army Chief of Staff – that Trump’s staff acted without permission.

But Darin Hoover, one of the Gold Star Family members specifically said they gave Trtump all the permission he required.

We had given our approval for President Trump’s official videographer and photographer to attend the event, ensuring these sacred moments of remembrance were respectfully captured so that we can cherish these memories forever. We are deeply grateful to the President for taking the time to honor our children and for standing alongside us in our grief, offering his unwavering support during such a difficult time. His compassion and respect meant more than words can express.

https://x.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1828634037591720433

Apparently Mr. Hoover said much more in a post that someone since deleted:

How about you stay in your lane!! WE invited him. WE asked that they take pictures and videos. WE are grateful that he accepted the invitation. Take your political [expletive] somewhere else. THIS WAS NOT POLITICAL AT ALL. This man has shown us more compassion, love, and support than the current stumbling, bumbling buffoon that got our kids murdered needlessly.
There are 8 points on the human body and you have stick one of the 8 points into one of the other 8. You have ZERO idea of anything other than your lefty talking points. The only one making it political is people like you and your ilk. TDS is real with you libs.
Take your fake bulls—t to another page. I’m sick and tired of people trying to detect from what was a solemn and great day for our kids to be honored and those that are wounded. Those are OUR MEMORIES AND THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES WE HAVE LEFT TO MAKE WITH OUR CHILDREN!!!

https://x.com/martintetonwy/status/1830240988725416254

But Kristen Welker still thought she could score cheap political points – and did so with Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.). That didn’t go well for her or the legacy media:

Question: Bottom line, though, I guess, Senator, is it ever appropriate to make campaign content at military gravesites?
Answer: He didn’t take campaign photos there. These families, Gold Star families, whose children died because of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s incompetence, invited him to the cemetery, and they asked him to take those photos because, as they told me yesterday, when I spoke to Kelly Barnet and Darren Hoover, the parents of Taylor Hoover, who has Arkansas ties, they don’t get to go to the beach on Labor Day.
They don’t get to have barbecues. This is their one chance to have a memory of their children to commemorate their service and to honor their sacrifice. They wanted President Trump there. They wanted to take those photos.
You know who the families also invited? Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Where were they? Joe Biden was sitting at a beach. Kamala Harris was sitting at her mansion in Washington, D.C. She was 4 miles away, 10 minutes.
She could have gone to the cemetery and honored the sacrifice of those young men and women, but she hasn’t. She never has spoken to them or taken a meeting with them. It’s because of her…
Question: They did meet with them during the dignified transfer. They were with them at the dignified transfer.
Answer“…Her and Joe Biden’s incompetence, those 13 Americans were killed in Afghanistan.

https://x.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1830239811417800877

Note in the above exchange that Welker said Biden and Harris were at the original body unloading ceremony. That was a bald-faced lie. Biden was there, all right – checking his watch every other minute. But Vice-President Harris wasn’t even there. Since that interview, NBC has had to issue a correction.

Apparently several organs repeated another lie: that Trump’s staff “manhandled” a member of Arlington Cemetery staff. The only person to dignify that story with a response was former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii):

What I saw was a very grave a somber remembrance and honoring of those lives that were lost, and I saw President Trump spending time — at the invitation of these Gold Star families — with them, he was there for a few hours. I did not see or hear about any kind of altercation until something came out in the news.

Legacy media even attack the Constitution

As bad as were those examples of disregard for the truth, the legacy media pour contempt on the Constitution. On Saturday (August 31), Jennifer Szalai, the “nonfiction book critic” for The New York Times, suggested the Constitution is “dangerous.” A furious Elon Musk linked to the article, and its frontispiece of the Constitution shaped like a crashed paper airplane:

https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1830140465640886587

Margaret Flavin at The Gateway Pundit says Ms. Szalai was born in Canada. If true, that could explain why, in her essay, she showed no respect for liberty, but only for license.

Her essay is actually a review of Erwin Chemerinsky’s latest book, No Democracy Lasts Forever. But when she, before even introducing that work, ventures to say:

[T]he Constitution … is essentially antidemocratic and, in this day and age, increasingly dysfunctional[,]

she is clearly stating her own opinion. Indeed, as her “review” goes on, it stops being a review and becomes a condemnatory critique of the Constitution. Instead of a Constitutional republic, she prefers “mass democratic politics.” She laments the recent handing-down of “judicial interpretations that rested on the framers’ intentions, 200 years before.” Of course, those “interpretations” have engendered new respect for the right of the people to keep and bear arms. And also for the right of free exercise of religion, and a faint beginning for a right to life.

And in the alternative …!

Szalai would clearly discard all that, and see a society in which:

  1. Any woman could get an abortion any time, for any reason or no reason,

  2. No person, except a law-enforcement officer, an active-duty military service member, a Very Important Person or “their” bodyguard, could own, carry, or so much as touch, much less discharge, a firearm, and

  3. The state would substitute itself for religion and relegate its believers and practitioners to mental institutions and reeducation camps.

Clearly she agrees with her review subject Erwin Chemerinsky, and calls for a Constitutional convention. But then she makes a strategic mistake, and repeats Chemerinsky’s speculations about secession. Ah, ahem, AHEM! Surely she realizes that certain people, who are actively working toward secession, are listening? CNAV can already hear Dan Miller of the Texas Nationalist Movement brandishing this section of the Times, crying in not-quite-triumph:

See? I told you so!

Miller would then break out in song. And no, it would not be The Yellow Rose of Texas or even The Eyes of Texas! Instead it would be Texas, Our Texas, by William J. Marsh and Gladys Yoakum Wright, from 1924.

Texas, our Texas! All hail the mighty State!
Texas, our Texas! So wonderful so great!
Boldest and grandest, Withstanding ev'ry test;
O Empire wide and glorious, You stand supremely blest.

Or perhaps those first two lines would read,

Texas, our Texas! All hail the mighty land!
Texas, our Texas! So wonderful so grand!

Analysis

Perhaps no such thing as an unbiased media can exist. If the adherents of one side of an argument would dispute even the sum of two plus two, if they thought they could gain an advantage in a public-policy debate, then an unbiased media cannot exist. As may be, one either respects the truth, or one does not. The legacy media in the Western World, and particularly in the United States of America, do not respect the truth. They don’t know what the truth is, nor even the meaning of the word.

From Kristen Welker at NBC, and Jennifer Szalai at The New York Times, come two booby-prize examples of such disrespect. Maybe the country can resolve its present crisis without secession. That will depend on the Election of 2024, though perhaps not as Szalai would judge it. But the people can no longer imagine patronizing one set of media that will appeal to all. Those who value the truth, will choose new media. Those who don’t, can stay with the legacy media who tells them what they want to read/hear/watch. Then let them indulge whatever flights of fancy they wish – on their own.

Kamala Harris campaign dying

The Kamala Harris campaign is gasping for breath, as a critical-care patient does shortly before dying. Even one of Donald J. Trump’s most vicious detractors among evangelical or “born-again Christians” will no longer deny the signs. At the same time, two other Christian apologists have discovered that tens of millions of self-identifying Christians do not even plan to vote, and are asking them to reconsider.

Extinctionism – older than you think

Elon Musk occasionally likes to highlight a particular person or issue that concerns him, by posting about it on X. With one hundred fifty-nine million followers, he can make that person or issue “go viral” with a single post. Today he left two posts, on a subject that has concerned him for well over a year: extinctionism. Indeed he went so far as to say that extinctionism is the real ideological threat to humanity.

Extinctionism – what is it, and who actively propounds it?

Extinctionism means seeking the extinction of the human race. Even that concept, as extreme as it sounds, encompasses a broad spectrum of ways to achieve that end. Elon Musk highlighted one of them in his two posts:

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1710394306572251409

Les U. Knight founded the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement, abbreviated VHEMT (pronounced Vehement, “because that’s what we are,” says Knight.) Its method is simple: let all human beings abstain from reproduction. Thus the human race would die off by simple attrition. If everyone adopted that ...

The Obama Conspiracy

The past week and a half have seen some astonishing activity in our nation’s capital. This activity rivals the Dobbs Decision, and the Great Leak that preceded it, for its shock value alone. Evidently, then-President Barack Obama convened a meeting of top intelligence advisers after the Election of 2016. At that meeting, he told them: “Make it look as though Donald Trump had Russian help in gimmicking the election.” Today we have more than what Obama and his supporters have dismissed as unfounded speculation. We have the minutes of that meeting, after Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, declassified them – and much else. This shows that Barack Obama, unhappy with the election result, engineered a deliberate effort to undermine his successor. That effort has continued from that day to this. Trump knows it – and has threatened Obama with arrest. For America’s sake, now he must carry that threat out.

Why would Obama do such a thing?

Barack Obama would do such a thing for the same reason he spoke of “fundamentally transform[ing] the United States.” As his memoir Dreams of My Father makes clear, he despises America and everything for which it stands. He dismisses the Constitution as “a charter of negative liberties,” making clear that citizens should have allowances, not rights. He would dispense those allowances as he saw fit – and cheerfully negate the rights of anyone standing in his way.

The Obama story might involve more than this. Hillary Clinton’s infamous private email server might have evidence implicating him in more crimes. Or might have had such evidence, until Hillary destroyed her server with the Bleachbit reformatting program. But did Hillary “get it all”? Maybe – or maybe not.

As may be, Barack Obama very much wanted Hillary Clinton to win the Election of 2016. When she did not, he took greater alarm than she took. And that’s saying something! Rumors at the time had her receiving the news of her defeat while in a hotel ballroom with tables laid out for her victory banquet – and proceeding to pull food, plates, utensils, and everything else off those banquet tables, by seizing tablecloth corners and pulling with all her frenzied might. Whether this happened or not, one thing definitely did. She withdrew from public view and did not come out until 11:00 a.m. Wednesday morning.

Release of the Obama scandal documents

On or about Wednesday, July 16, investigative reporter Paul Sperry revealed a meeting of “Trump administration officials,” held July 13. “New information on Russiagate” (the notion that Trump was a Russian asset) headed the meeting’s agenda. Sperry mentioned a December 2016 meeting of intelligence agency heads and seconds-in-command, the “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation, and the “Steele Dossier.” He also mentioned Hillary Clinton’s private server, and what now is called the “Clinton Annex,” showing that Hillary, as far back as July 2016, sought to frame Trump as a Russian asset.

Worth remembering now is that Vladimir Putin, the effective head of Russia, cut short an overseas trip that summer. Upon his return to Moscow, he issued a ukase ordering his people to arm themselves.

Two days later, Tulsi Gabbard, as DNI, declassified key “smoking guns,” exactly as Sperry predicted. These include a detailed time line in the form of a memorandum with this subject:

Intelligence Community suppression of intelligence showing “Russian and criminal actors did not impact” the 2016 presidential election via cyber-attacks on infrastructure.

Five bullet points, from August 31 through October 7, 2016, make one thing clear. No one had any evidence that Russians planned to alter reported vote counts in the upcoming election. An Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on September 12 stated in part:

The report finds “foreign adversaries do not have and will probably not obtain the capabilities to successfully execute widespread and undetected cyber attacks” on election infrastructure.

On October 7 came a brief mention that the FBI and the National Security Agency had “low confidence” that Russians had hacked the Democratic National and Congressional Campaign Committees.

The election blew up everything

Then came the election. To be sure, the results surprised everyone. Trump shocked the world by carrying Pennsylvania, of all States. That State alone gave Trump momentum he would never lose. He carried it by carrying every Pennsylvania county outside the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh television markets.

Then came these key events in December of 2016. On December 7, then-DNI James Clapper was ready to conclude that:

“Foreign adversaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the US Presidential election outcome.”
“We have no evidence of cyber manipulation of election infrastructure intended to alter results.”

Intelligence officers were still planning to say that on December 8. But then, FBI Director James Comey took his name off the memo and said he would write a dissenting memo. Late that afternoon, the DNI buried the “Presidential Daily Brief” saying there was nothing to the Russia story.

Then on December 9, Ambassador Susan Rice convened ranking Cabinet officials in the Situation Room for an emergency meeting.

James Clapper, John Brennan, Susan Rice, John Kerry, Brian McKeon, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe, and Avril Haines are among those in attendance.

X account DeepFakeQuotes has a video presentation describing that meeting.

The Meeting That Changed Everything – Dec 9, 2016
Two days after intel said no foreign actor changed the 2016 election, Obama met with his top officials.
What followed? A reversal. A dossier. A soft coup.
The documents are declassified.
The evidence is real.
The republic was targeted from within.

https://x.com/DeepFakeQuote/status/1946654472522064294

The minutes say definitely that “Moscow used [certain] tools” and “took [certain] actions” to affect the outcome of the election. They speak of asking, not whether Russia influenced the election, but how and why. In sum, those setting the agenda had by then made up their minds to accuse Russia of election interference.

That very day, intelligence officials, speaking as “Senior Administration Officials” and “Persons Familiar With The Situation,” dropped hints to The Washington Post accusing Russia of gimmicking the election – and Trump of benefiting from that.

Assertion of facts not in evidence

One of those “hints” says the CIA had “concluded in a secret assessment that Russia intervened” in the election. But the CIA had made no such determination – at least, not yet. Five days later (December 14), intelligence officials were openly accusing Vladimir Putin of active and “personal… involve[ment]” in altering the election.

Two days later, Obama himself spun the scenario, as follows:

What I was concerned about in particular was making sure that [Wikileaks/Clinton emails] wasn’t compounded by potential hacking that could hamper vote counting and affect the actual election process itself. And so in early September, when I saw President Putin in China, I felt that the most effective way to ensure that, that didn’t happen was to talk to him directly. And tell him to cut it out.

Cut what out? Obama had to admit he had no “evidence” that Russian operatives gimmicked actual voting scanner-tabulators.

Later that month, someone, now a “whistleblower” to the ODNI, “question[ed] his leadership” about the sudden change in tune. The results of that, including “sidelining” and pressures to “go along to get along,” were entirely predictable.

Director Gabbard described all this in a lengthy X thread, using the strongest language short of profanity or obscenity.

🧵 Americans will finally learn the truth about how in 2016, intelligence was politicized and weaponized by the most powerful people in the Obama Administration to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump, subverting the will of the American people and undermining our democratic republic. Here’s how:

https://x.com/DNIGabbard/status/1946271402971312514

Among other phrases Gabbard used was the phrase treasonous conspiracy.

The Democrats began doubling down on their Russia, Russia Russia story immediately. Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), Ranking Member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, issued this angry attempt at rebuttal:

It seems DNI Gabbard is unaware that the years-long Russia investigation carried out by the Senate Intelligence Committee reaffirmed that ‘the Russian government directed extensive activity against U.S. election infrastructure’ ahead of the 2016 election, and that it ‘used social media to conduct an information warfare campaign’ in order to benefit Donald Trump. This conclusion was supported on a unanimous basis by every single Democrat and Republican on the committee. (1/2)
It is sadly not surprising that DNI Gabbard, who promised to depoliticize the intelligence community, is once again weaponizing her position to amplify the president’s election conspiracy theories. It is appalling to hear DNI Gabbard accuse her own IC workforce of committing a ‘treasonous conspiracy’ when she was unwilling to label Edward Snowden a traitor. (2/2)

https://x.com/MarkWarner/status/1946322743042998684

https://x.com/MarkWarner/status/1946322744565784854

Never mind that this committee worked with material from the Obama CIA. Reaction to his posts was almost uniformly negative. That reaction included reminders that Sen. Warner has his own scandal involving communication with a Russian oligarch.

Further releases

Yesterday the Justice Department received from Gabbard a formal referral of Obama for criminal prosecution. Also yesterday, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released his own report – the “Clinton Annex.”

I’m making “Clinton annex” public today so the American people have all the facts. Sen. [Ron] Johnson [R-Wisc.] & I have requested this document’s declassification together since 2020 & Pres Trump/Pam Bondi/Kash Patel + others finally got it done. Thanks for your dedication to transparency.

https://x.com/ChuckGrassley/status/1947324460983296172

Here are the press release, to which Sen. Grassley shared the link, and the Clinton Annex.

According to it, the FBI had all the evidence it would have needed for a criminal investigation. And they didn’t even start one.

From lawyer Julie Kelly comes this excerpt – alleging credibly that Obama’s email was hacked.

NEW: According to just released declassified annex to DOJ OIG report on Hillary Clinton email investigation, Barack Obama's email were hacked and the FBI was aware.

https://x.com/julie_kelly2/status/1947332087196868982

Trump has been trolling Obama and his defenders mercilessly since the first revelations came out. For instance, this video contains a montage of every Democrat who said, “No one is above the law.” It ends with a generated clip showing FBI agents entering the Oval Office, during a “photo-op” session between Trump and Obama, and arresting Obama.

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114887992924632896

Similarly he shared this video of Tulsi Gabbard’s interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox’ Sunday Morning Futures:

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114888219088263084

Then consider these two posts:

HOW DID SAMANTHA POWER MAKE ALL OF THAT MONEY???

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114888263063561606

Obama himself manufactured the Russia, Russia, Russia HOAX. Crooked Hillary, Sleepy Joe, and numerous others participated in this, THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY!. Irrefutable EVIDENCE. A major threat to our Country!!!

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114893984552850709

Finally, Mike Davis, head of the Article III Project, insists that Presidential immunity cannot cover Barack Obama for these deeds. The reason: Obama has continued the conspiracy even today, long after leaving office.

https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1947342358170796352

Analysis

The President is head of his Party, and that was certainly true of Barack Obama. As the head, Obama took the Democratic Party into banana-republic territory, long before the Mar-A-Lago Raid. Tulsi Gabbard has now released definitive proof that Obama was behind the abrupt change of tune by the intelligence community regarding Russian “interference” in American elections.

Wayne Allen Root, Assistant Editor of The Gateway Pundit, flatly accuses Obama of all the above, and much more. Root’s allegations seem to go far afield, but they do require investigation. They include weaponization of the IRS and the beginning of the Great Immigration Flood. Root also lays the questionable results of the Election of 2020 at Obama’s feet – and even accuses him of arranging with the Chinese to infect the country with coronavirus. Then after Biden became President, Obama actually ran the Biden White House, through his agents.

Then Root asks:

Now the question is does the Trump DOJ have the [gonadal fortitude] to do what needs to be done? This is the biggest criminal conspiracy in U.S. history. This is a treason case. And this is either a death penalty case, or life in Gitmo.

Certainly what DNI Gabbard and Senator Grassley have released, is damning enough of Obama. Furthermore, anyone who defends him the way Senator Warner did, convicts himself of ignorance – or collusion.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has a chance to redeem herself after her Epstein Files blunders. Obviously, prosecuting a former President for an extension of his conduct in office does not make for a happy situation. But Democrats started it with their specious cases against Trump. This case is anything but specious. That’s worth remembering next year – at Midterms.

Measurement and American patriotism

In the fiery debate on American patriotism and exceptionalism, American patriots have missed one vital element – measurement. Most of those who talk about measurement, lament that ours is one of the few countries left that still uses ancient units of measurement that do not relate to one other in “clean,” powers-of-ten ratios. In short, only in the laboratory (and not always at the drugstore) does any American use “the metric system.” Nor is this for lack of effort by its proponents to cram it down Americans’ throats. But to make any coherent defense of our American system of measurement (other than “we grew up with it, so why change”, one must understand where those ancient units came from. Once one does, one realizes that those ancient units are the only units that relate reliably to regular human experience. And that alone makes them worth keeping.

Measurement began with human anatomy and physiology

Any system of measurement requires a standard so that everyone understands what a given unit means. When human beings first started measuring things, they used themselves as the standard of measurement. Or if that didn’t make sense, they used something in common human experience, like water.

The United States Customary System of Units uses most of those ancient units of measurement, plus some not-so-ancient. In fact many of those units are as ancient as the Roman Empire, or more ancient than that. Admittedly, humans have stopped using at least two: the cubit (from elbow to middle fingertip) and the span (from thumb to little finger on a stretched-out hand). But the inch (breadth of the nose), foot (length of the foot), and yard (from nose to fingertip of the outstretched hand) are still part of the U.S. Customary system. So is the fathom, or length of an anchor rode between two outstretched hands – six feet.

This system contains many other units of length, most of which have fallen out of use. (Examples: link, rod, chain, furlong.) But we still use the mile, which is a thousand paces on the march. And some might have heard of the league, though they never learned what it meant. A league is an hour’s march in full infantry kit. The standard speed on the march is three miles per hour, so one league is three miles.

The beauty of these units

All these units of length have one thing in common. They relate to the human experience. That makes them absurdly easy to use. Want to know how long is the boundary between your yard and your neighbor’s? Step it off. If you’re in a boat and want to know how deep the water is, drop a lead weight attached to a length of rope, then pull it in by stretching it between your arms. The number of times you do that, is the number of fathoms.

Obviously one doesn’t convert from one length unit to another by multiplying by a power of ten. But one doesn’t have to. All that matters is using the unit appropriate to the activity.

Units of area have a similar derivation, as do the units of liquid capacity. The units of weight initially derived from the units of liquid capacity – one pint of water weighed one pound. Sadly, that’s no longer true – different “prototypes” changed sizes too often. Also, in the ancient world, weight and mass meant the same. Not until Sir Isaac Newton would anyone even think of going to a place where a one-pound mass weighed less. Or, for that matter, more.

Temperature had a similar connection to human experience. Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit famously defined zero as the freezing point of saturated ammonium chloride brine. His high point was 96 degrees – his estimate of normal body temperature. So now you know why, when temperature drops “below zero,” salting the roads is useless.

Vive la révolution!

Then came the French Revolution – the first great excuse to abolish human anatomy and experience as a standard of measurement. European kings had, to be sure, laid the groundwork for this change. A new king would redefine the foot as the length of his own foot. The infamous Asymmetrical Ship shows what can happen: halfway through its building, the king was dead, long lived the king, and the foot changed. Needless to say, that ship was never seaworthy.

The French Revolutionists wanted to get away from all things royal. In the process, Joseph Lagrange and his Revolutionary Committee on Weights and Measures also broke away from human experience. They invented the metric system, or at least the first version of it, and the forerunner of Système International d’Unités – International System of Units, which we abbreviate SI.

The meter would be one-ten-millionth of a quarter-meridian of Earth. All other units of length would be powers-of-ten of this unit. To form the names, the Committee ordered affixing Latin prefixes for shortening, and Greek prefixes for lengthening. So the units of short distance would be the decimeter, the centimeter, and the millimeter. The unit of long distance became the kilometer, or one thousand meters.

How does any of this relate to human experience? It doesn’t. The meter is longer than anyone’s arm – unless that person is an acromegalic. And the kilometer bears no relationship to how fast one walks, on the march or otherwise.

Derivation of other metric units of measurement

Similarly, Lagrange’s Committee derived units of liquid capacity and mass from the meter, using pure water as the standard. One cubic decimeter (one-tenth meter) became the liter, the base unit of liquid capacity. The Committee defined the gram as the mass of one milliliter of pure water.

But not at any temperature! Anders Celsius, in 1742, had proposed his own centigrade temperature scale. It went from 100 (the freezing point of pure water) to zero (the boiling point of pure water). The French physicist Jean-Pierre Christin inverted this scale to produce the Celsius scale we know today. Water is at its most dense at four degrees Celsius. So a milliliter of water at that temperature became the standard for a gram of mass. So said Joseph Lagrange’s Committee.

Again, none of this relates to the human experience. True, Fahrenheit’s scale now has a redefinition, but at least Fahrenheit tried to define his scale in relation to human experience. Neither Celsius nor his successors can make the same claim.

One quantity of which no one has successfully substituted a new unit, is time. Humans everywhere still use the second and all its multiples, with ratios dating back to ancient Babylon. Emperor Napoleon tried to change to a decimal unit of time – and faced armed rebellion as a result. No serious effort at time conversion has occurred since.

Further distancing from human experience: redefinition

The United Nations General Convention on Weights and Measures, in 2019, made matters worse. Originally, SI had seven base quantities for defining everything, with definitions that made some sense. Furthermore, these definitions had a traceable history, and one could understand the need for a redefinition.

So for decades the units of time, length, mass, temperature, electric current, amount-of-substance, and luminous intensity had common-sense definitions. But that wasn’t good enough for the keepers of SI. That held especially for the unit of mass – the kilogram – then the only unit defined in terms of an artifact. But they also felt that way about the other units, except perhaps the unit of time (the second).

So in 2019 this UN body replaced seven units with seven constants, which now are defined constants. They are the:

  1. Hyperfine transition frequency of cesium-113,

  2. Speed of light in a vacuum,

  3. Planck Constant,

  4. Boltzmann Constant,

  5. Elementary charge,

  6. Avogadro Number of elementary entities, and

  7. Luminous efficacy at a frequency of 540 tera-Hertz.

Behold! This Convention finishes the job of Lagrange’s Revolutionary Committee. They have utterly divorced our units of measurement from any semblance of human experience. True, they did it to “future-proof” their definitions. But they make no attempt to tell us where the original definitions came from. Given that, these definitions, such as they are, are purely arbitrary.

Why doesn’t America use the metric system – yet?

YouTube influencer Joe Scott publishes this history of attempts to “metricate” the United States. This and other sources reveal an interesting sequence of events.

In 1793, Joseph Dombey traveled to France and acquired a standard kilogram. But pirates seized his ship, took him hostage (he died as a hostage), and apparently destroyed his artifact. Five years later, the United States almost went to war with France. Even the effort in 1832 to establish a uniform system of measurement, failed.

1875 saw a new effort to “metricate” the United States. The only practical result has been the complete switch to the metric system (actually SI) in research laboratories. A few industries (like food and beverages) will sell their products in metric quantities. Toolmakers offer either metric or “English” tools. But never once has anyone made conversion to the metric system compulsory. For that reason, only one major highway in the United States (Interstate Highway 19 between Nogales and Tucson, Ariz., stretching for 102 kilometers) has metric distances throughout its length.

One cannot explain this in terns of American exceptionalism, because until today, no one has consistently defended U.S. Customary units on that ground. Perhaps one can make allowance for simple “cultural inertia” – not wanting to change the units one has lived with. But why did the French embrace Lagrange’s new system so readily? Revolutionary fervor?

Perhaps. But perhaps the real reason why metrication remains incomplete in America is … supernatural.

American measurement and American patriotism

Today, CNAV will be the first to defend the American measurement system on grounds of American patriotism.

Human beings have no reason to insist on having only one unit of length, mass, or liquid capacity. Multiplying these base units by powers of ten doesn’t change them. The metric system, and its current variant (SI) have one base unit each for length, mass, and liquid capacity. Everything else depends on these three.

Tellingly, this is not true of units of time. Humans still measure time in minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years, as appropriate to the application. Nor does the one-unit rule hold for length in absolutely all applications. Astronomers do not measure stellar or even planetary distances uniformly in multiples of the meter. They use other units that, again, reflect the experience of the application. These are the:

  • Astronomical unit (semi-major axis of the orbit of Earth around the Sun),

  • Light-year (the distance that light travels in a year), and

  • Parsec (Parallax of one second, or the cotangent of one second of arc, multiplied by an astronomical unit).

An American patriotic system of measurement would retain these units – while also retaining miles, yards, feet, and inches.

Extending the American Patriotic System

At present, the American Patriotic System would still be incomplete. It would retain three units from what some call the Gravitational English System. They are the second, the foot, and the slug, or that mass that accelerates by one foot per second squared when pushed or pulled by a force of one pound. It would also retain the Rankine, or the unit of absolute or “thermodynamic” temperature equivalent to a Fahrenheit degree.

But it would need three more units – of electric current, amount-of-substance, and luminous intensity – to be complete and coherent. (Coherency means deriving one unit, other than a base unit, from others with ratios of one.) To arrive at that, one must revisit the original definitions of the SI units of these quantities. For instance, one mole of a substance was its molecular (or formula) mass expressed in grams. Substituting the dram (slightly heavier than the gram) will require recalculating Avogadro’s Number to make it fit.

Similarly, before 2019, SI defined the ampere in terms of meters and newtons (the SI unit of force). A “patriotic” unit of electric current would start with a definition in terms of feet and pounds-of-force instead. (Call it the franklin, after Benjamin Franklin.) One would need a similar accommodation to arrive at a “patriotic” unit of luminous intensity. (Call that the patriotic candle.)

Conclusion

In 2016, and again in 2024, Americans elected a President who believed in America as an exceptional country. If Americans are going to embrace their exceptionalism, then they should embrace it in every context that could possibly matter. That the United States has never managed to switch measurement systems in more than two centuries, cannot be an accident. That’s one reason to retain, and expand, the system of measurement that has served us well for those two centuries.

The use of ratios other than powers of ten to convert between and among different applications is not a good reason to abandon the American system. If decimal conversion is so important, why do astronomers still measure stellar and planetary distances in astronomical units, light-years, and parsecs? The answer is that the choice of conversion ratios is far less important than is their consistency within the system. Abandoning decimal-power ratios is a small price to pay to retain appropriateness of various units in various applications. Put another way: is it worth remembering that 5,280 feet make a mile to retain a definition of a mile as a thousand human paces? Yes.

At a minimum, President Trump should resist, roll back, and cancel any further attempt at metrication of the American people. And at maximum, the President should consider extending an American Patriotic Measurement System to all quantities, not merely time, length, mass, temperature, and their derivatives.

Elon Musk and his third party

Elon Musk has packed up his marbles and gone home – or some might say he’s lost his marbles. Over last weekend, he announced the formation of a new party – a third party. He calls it the America Party, and insists it will be a centrist party. In fact his plan clearly is to help Democrats “flip” the House and Senate. That’s his plan – but he very likely cannot carry that plan out. Or at least, the Republicans don’t have to let him.

Elon Musk new party announcement almost lost in the news cycle

As it happened, only through his stubbornness are we still talking about Musk or his new Party. On the very weekend in which he made his announcement, devastating floods struck the Texas Hill Country. More than 100 people are dead, and, at least in Kerr County, Texas, the rest are too busy even to think about politics. (Those that are thinking about politics, are mainly expressing bitter resentment at non-Hill-Country residents making callous observations about how they vote, and sharing highly dubious theories as to the ultimate causes of the floods.)

Let us close the curtain of charity on the rest of the scene.

Samuel L. Clemens

But Musk managed to keep his new Party in the news, after President Donald Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino blew the announcement about the Epstein Files. No one but Georgia Ostrich Erick-Woods Erickson can possibly believe that there was never anything to see in those files. The defensive attitude of all four officials has given Elon Musk all the excuse he needs to accuse anyone close to Trump who pooh-poohs his new Party of bearing guilty mention in those files.

(CNAV believes that the same people who had Epstein murdered in his cell, destroyed the files. But Jim Hoft and Wayne Allen Root at The Gateway Pundit have their own investigation open. So has every prominent conservative YouTube influencer.)

What does the America Party resemble and for what does it stand?

Eric L. Daugherty of Florida Voice News broke the story last Saturday.

🚨 BREAKING - IT’S OFFICIAL: Elon Musk creates the “America Party” following conclusion of his poll on X.
“Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.”
“When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy.”

https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1941585595488403861

Mark Mitchell at Rasmussen Reports noted immediately that Musk’s “poll” was unscientific. He didn’t even vet his sample to exclude noncitizens, nonresidents, and unlikely voters in American elections. (Like all social media, X has an international user base.)

From the start, Musk hints that his Party will field candidates in a select number of close races.

🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk announces his new "America Party" will be "extremely concentrated force at a precise location on the battlefield." This could mean Elon plans to field candidates and pour funds only into very specific districts/races.

https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1941616303896191052

In other words, spoilers. Lately, Musk has disclaimed any plans to field a candidate for President in 2028.

🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk suggests his new America Party will not back a candidate for president in 2028, avoiding potential electoral disaster for Republicans in swing states.
The post from Scott Adams, shared by Musk, further predicts Musk will target specific congressmen or senators, which could give the GOP a way to "get past politics to solutions the country wants and needs, such as deficit reduction."

https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1941920472050061818

An FEC filing appeared, listing an Indian, Vaibhav Taneja, as Treasurer, Custodian of Records, and form signatory. The “Red Eagle Patriot” snidely observed that Musk was “us[ing] the H1B [visa] system to staff [the party].”

https://x.com/RedEaglePatriot/status/1941899673502974011

Almost at once, Musk disavowed the filing.

The filing is false and has been reported as such to the FEC.

https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1942014656505155674

As always, should you or any member of your [Impossible Missions] Force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

Voice on the tape giving mission orders on the CBS-TV show Mission: Impossible

Daugherty quoted Musk on these planks of the proposed America Party platform:

🚨 JUST IN: Elon Musk confirms his new "America Party" platform will be "centrist" on most issues, and specific policies will be:
- Reduce debt, responsible spending only
- Modernize military with ai/robotics
- Pro-tech, accelerate to win in ai
- Less regulation across board but especially in energy
- Free speech
- Pro natalist

https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1941617503320371695

Another influencer gave this tart observation of what the above likely means:

Elon Musk’s Party Platform:
- Reopen the border
- Globalist free trade that sends factory jobs to China
- Regime change in South Africa
- Cut Social Security and Medicaid
- Green New Deal solar and wind incentives
- Subsidies for Tesla’s electric cars
- Carbon tax

https://x.com/TheClassicalCon/status/1941592826300834094

Reaction to the announcement has been swift and brutal. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNN that the working principles of Musk’s signature contribution, the “Department” of Government Efficiency, were and are far more popular than the man himself.

🚨 Holy SMOKES: Scott Bessent with a message for Elon Musk...
"The principles of DOGE were very popular. If you looked at the polling, Elon was NOT."
"Those Board of Directors did not like this announcement [of a new party] yesterday."

https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1941852827652862170

CNN token conservative Scott Jennings warned Musk explicitly that the new Party could divide conservatives.

🚨 BREAKING: Scott Jennings tells Elon Musk his party could divide conservatives.
"You may be dividing the forces of people who want to save Western civilization to the benefit of the people who don't."
"And so to the extent that this effort would divide conservatives and Republicans against each other, that wouldn't be helpful, because it would leave the country to people who want unfettered immigration, don't share your fiscal views and so on and so forth."

https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1941858508091044262

Is Musk being self-serving?

The Red Eagle Patriot observed that in America, third parties do not work.

A third party does not work in a two party system. You don't have to like it, but your best course of action is to infiltrate/reform one of our 2 major parties. It's also why the GOP, while not perfect, is nearly unrecognizable compared to what it was 20 years ago.

https://x.com/RedEaglePatriot/status/1941592527712264403

As evidence, he cited H. Ross Perot’s 1992 Reform Party, which handed the Presidency to Bill Clinton. Perot’s motives were blatantly self-serving; he hoped to land a contract for his Electronic Data Services company with Hillarycare. (Perot lost out, not only because Hillarycare didn’t happen, but likely because Hillary Clinton would never have given him such a contract.) Likewise, Musk resents the end to the Electric Vehicle Mandate and the corollary end to $7500 per vehicle tax write-offs.

The Big Beautiful Bill actually reduces the current deficit compared to the actual baseline (more $$$ in spending cuts than in new tax cuts). Elon should be happy about that, but since it cuts EV subsidies, he forms a new party to get 0.2% of the vote! Hilarious.

Analysis

First, let us examine the platform as Musk avowed it. Reduce debt with responsible spending only? As Red Eagle pointed out, HR 1 (the center of the quarrel) does that.

The promotion of artificial intelligence became problematic at about the same time as Musk’s announcement. His Grok 4 AI engine started spewing outconspiratorial antisemitic” content. (Shades of Tsar Aleksandr III’s Protocols!) That’s so embarrassing that X CEO Linda Yaccarino is resigning over it. Musk blames certain users for manipulating the engine. Indeed at least one prominent X user, Andrew Torba, has boasted of such manipulation. But an AI subject to such manipulation is not the kind of engine we want in charge of weapons systems or anything else.

Less regulation across the board? Trump is delivering on that. Free speech? Trump’s officials have settled all remaining free-speech cases involving the government and social media.

Now as to pro-natalist policy: Musk has said nothing about his policy prescriptions along this line. Child tax credits will not suffice; those who have no taxes to pay, get no credit as a general rule. “Refundable” tax credits would violate another Musk precept: reducing the debt. But the late Will Durant, in The Story of Civilization, highlighted the most important influence.

Religion attends the birth of civilization; philosophy accompanies it to its grave.

For evidence, observe the Old Order Amish, the most thriving sub-population in America today. But Musk has a problem: he’s a stone-cold atheist, believer in evolution, and acceptor of a super-annuated universe. This is not a pro-natalist position.

The accusations

The accusations against Musk, beyond the pettiness of his position, deserve closer attention. “Reopen the border” isn’t quite accurate. The H1B visa program is definitely exploitative but, so far, is not the high-volume problem that illegal immigration is. “Globalist free trade that sends factory jobs to China” might be accurate at that. Elon doesn’t seem to recognize how vulnerable a country without its own industrial base can be. “Regime change in South Africa” is a facile assumption depending solely on Musk’s origins. The recent admission of a group of Afrikaners fleeing systematic “unofficial murder” in South Africa does not equate to declaring war against that country. And “cut Social Security and Medicaid” distorts the actual plan to make illegal aliens ineligible for those programs.

But the other three accusations might lie at the heart of Musk’s opposition to Trump’s program. He genuinely believes that the only legitimate electric power is solar and wind power, with gigantic batteries to store it at night and during periods of calm. More to the point, losing the $7500 per vehicle subsidy alone explains his bitterness with the Trump administration.

This new party need not have any practical effect. Conservative influencers will likely force the administration’s hand on the Epstein affair, on which the Democrats have been strangely silent. (Pam Bondi, who has blundered worst of all, should resign.) Elon has his own embarrassment with the Grok affair. These things, plus the selection of more dynamic Republican candidates, can neutralize this third-party threat.
