K Street’s Lawfare Democrats Weaponize Anonymous Lies To Mislead Voters
DEC 15, 2025
K Street’s Lawfare Democrats Weaponize Anonymous Lies To Mislead Voters
<p>The modern Democrat Party no longer trusts elections to deliver power; it trusts Marc Elias, Norm Eisen, Mary McCord, and Andrew Weissmann—along with their K Street lawfare factories—to manufacture it through deception. These are not mere attorneys; they are political arsonists in $3,000 suits who have turned the First Amendment into a loaded weapon.</p><p>From the marble lobbies of Perkins Coie to the revolving doors of WilmerHale and Covington & Burling, the Lawfare Democrat class—led by Elias (the architect of the 2016 Clinton-funded Steele dossier), Eisen (author of the “how-to” impeachment playbook), Mary McCord (the DOJ official who helped launch Crossfire Hurricane and later became the legal face of every anti-Trump “resistance” group), and Weissmann (Mueller’s pit bull)—has perfected the false-flag media operation. They invent a scandal, launder it through “anonymous sources,” and watch their stenographers at CNN, NPR, and <em>The Atlantic</em> detonate it across the country. The goal is never truth; it is always partisan domination by any means necessary.</p><p>The formula is brutally simple: a Lawfare operative drafts a lurid claim, feeds it to a cooperative reporter as coming from “a senior official familiar with the matter,” and the story is published without a single named source or piece of verifiable evidence. Retractions, when they finally crawl out weeks later, are printed on page 19 in 8-point font. By then, the damage is done—polls have moved, donors have panicked, and another chunk of the republic’s faith in institutions has been hollowed out.</p><p>Four recent examples expose the playbook in crystalline detail.</p><p>Arlington Cemetery “Desecration” Hoax</p><p>Days after Trump visited Section 60 to honor the 13 service members killed in Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal, NPR—citing only anonymous “Army officials”—<a target="_blank" href="https://thefederalist.com/2024/12/30/the-top-10-hoaxes-the-propaganda-press-peddled-in-2024/">accused Trump’s team of shoving cemetery staff and illegally filming a campaign ad on sacred ground</a>. The story was immediately weaponized by Kamala Harris and every blue-check pundit on X. Within 48 hours, the Gold Star families themselves released statements and video proving they had personally invited Trump and thanked him for being there. The “anonymous officials”? Almost certainly coordinated through Marc Elias’s network, whose firm has specialized in weaponizing military families against Republicans since the Russiagate era. NPR’s half-hearted correction came only after the families threatened legal action.</p><p>The Atlantic’s “Hitler Praised Generals” Revival</p><p>Jeffrey Goldberg, still nursing wounds from his debunked 2020 “suckers and losers” fantasy, <a target="_blank" href="https://thefederalist.com/2024/12/30/the-top-10-hoaxes-the-propaganda-press-peddled-in-2024/">dropped another anonymously sourced bombshell</a> weeks before the election: Trump, according to “sources close to the former president,” had repeatedly praised Hitler’s generals and complained about the cost of a slain soldier’s funeral. The timing was surgical—maximum panic, minimum time for fact-checking. John Kelly, the supposed primary source, refused to go on the record. No one else ever did. Yet the story dominated the final stretch of the campaign. Behind the curtain: Norm Eisen and Mary McCord were openly coordinating anti-Trump messaging with Atlantic writers during this exact period, according to leaked Signal chats later published by independent journalists.</p><p>The “Astronauts Aren’t Stranded” Gaslighting</p><p>When Trump and Elon Musk moved aggressively to bring home NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore—left orbiting for ten months because of Boeing’s Starliner debacle under Biden—<a target="_blank" href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/04/100-days-of-hoaxes-cutting-through-the-fake-news/">NPR ran an extraordinary piece</a> insisting the astronauts were “not stranded at all,” citing only anonymous “agency sources.” This directly contradicted NPR’s own reporting from the previous nine months, in which the word “stranded” had appeared dozens of times. The sudden reversal came just as Trump was scoring political points for decisive action. The fingerprints of Andrew Weissmann’s network were all over it; former Obama-Biden holdovers inside NASA and the White House comms shop, still taking marching orders from the Lawfare clique, fed the line to friendly reporters to blunt the president’s momentum.</p><p>The Cabinet Purge Whispers:Firing Kash Patel & Kristi Noem</p><p>As whispers of a post-midterm reshuffle gained traction, outlets like MS NOW and The Daily Beast unleashed a barrage of anonymously sourced speculation that Trump was plotting to axe two of his most loyal lieutenants: FBI Director <a target="_blank" href="https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-responds-to-kash-patel-firing-rumors-11111210">Kash Patel</a> and Homeland Security Secretary <a target="_blank" href="https://okmagazine.com/p/white-house-responds-reports-donald-trump-fire-kristi-noem-cabinet/">Kristi Noem</a>.</p><p>In late November, MS NOW cited “three people with knowledge of the situation who requested anonymity” to claim Trump was “weighing” Patel’s ouster over alleged missteps, including using a government jet for a date with his girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, and assigning FBI resources to her security detail. The story painted Patel as “on thin ice,” with Co-Deputy Director Andrew Bailey floated as a replacement—ignoring Patel’s successes in ramping up arrests of violent felons.</p><p>Just days later, similar anonymous “sources” fueled reports of Noem’s impending firing, tied to her hiring of Corey Lewandowski amid rumors of an affair, with CNN and OK! Magazine amplifying claims that White House frustration was boiling over. By early December, The Daily Beast bundled both into a “borrowed time” narrative, suggesting a 2026 purge of Patel, Noem, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to “clean house.”</p><p>The White House detonated the hoax in real time: Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt recounted reading the Patel headline to Trump mid-meeting with the FBI chief, prompting laughter and a photo-op thumbs-up to debunk it as “Fake News.” Noem’s team dismissed the smears as baseless gossip. Yet the timing—coinciding with Patel’s aggressive probes into Deep State holdovers and Noem’s mass deportation push—reeks of sabotage. K Street’s hand? Undeniable: Mary McCord’s “Protect Democracy” network and Weissmann’s alumni have been spotted in DC salons bragging about “destabilizing” Trump’s enforcers through precisely these leaks, turning loyalists into liabilities overnight.</p><p>The Epstein Redacted Photos Smear</p><p>In a <a target="_blank" href="https://thepostmillennial.com/dems-share-redacted-photos-of-trump-with-suntan-models-in-failed-attempt-to-smear-him-over-epstein">brazen partisan stunt just days ago</a>, on December 13, 2025, House Oversight Committee Democrats selectively released 19 redacted photos from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate out of over 95,000 received, prominently featuring images of Trump with women’s faces blacked out to imply sinister ties and possible knowledge of Epstein’s abuses. Freshman Rep. Yassamin Ansari posted the images on X, calling them “vile, disturbing new photos of Donald Trump that raise even more question about knowledge of abuses at Epstein’s estate.”</p><p>The selective redactions fueled immediate media frenzy, reviving long-debunked Epstein-Trump guilt-by-association narratives at a moment when Trump’s DOJ was pushing full file transparency.</p><p>But the hoax collapsed swiftly: unredacted versions revealed the women as adult Hawaiian Tropic suntan lotion models at a 1990s Mar-a-Lago promotional event tied to Trump’s Miss Universe ownership—one even praising him in interviews as a “gentleman.” Faces were redacted at the individuals’ own request, per Epstein estate lawyers, yet Democrats cherry-picked and presented them to manufacture innuendo. </p><p>The White House blasted it as another “Democrat hoax,” with Trump dismissing the recycled smears. This Lawfare-orchestrated leak—echoing Mary McCord’s “resistance” networks coordinating with congressional Democrats—aimed to distract from embarrassing Epstein ties to figures like Bill Clinton while tarring Trump anew.</p><p>These are not mistakes. They are deliberate acts of political warfare executed by a permanent class of Democrat lawyers—Elias, Eisen, McCord, Weissmann, and their junior associates—who have openly boasted on podcasts and at Georgetown salons about using “democracy-protecting” lawfare and media manipulation to neutralize populist threats. Each hoax chips away at Trump’s mandate, forcing defensive firefights <em>that distract from draining the swamp</em>.</p><p>The American voter <em>must</em> learn to see through this theater of deception. Every time we reward anonymous smears with outrage, retweets, or shifted votes, we hand these disgusting, deceitful operatives another link in the chains they are forging for all of us. </p><p>If we continue to let miscreants like Marc Elias, Mary McCord, and their shadowy, greasy ilk substitute fabricated narratives for earned political victories, <em>we will not wake up in the America our founders envisioned</em>—we will wake up in politically manufactured chains, governed by whoever controls the last leak to <em>The Atlantic</em>.</p><p>The choice is ours, but the hour is late.</p><p>When we come back, our segment on <em>America’s Third Watch</em>, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.</p><p>In Closing…</p><p>The Lawfare Democrats—Elias, Eisen, McCord, Weissmann—don’t debate you at the ballot box anymore. They invent anonymous scandals, leak them to their media stooges, and watch the Republic bleed trust.</p><p>The lies at Arlington, Goldberg’s Hitler fantasies, gaslighting about astronauts, the latest fake purge bullshit, and false-flag photos: same playbook, same liars, same goal—power <em>without</em> permission.</p><p>If we keep swallowing these poison pills disguised as “breaking news,” the chains they’re forging won’t be metaphorical. Wake up! Question every unsourced story, and remember: the people who scream loudest about protecting democracy are usually the ones trying to kill it.</p><p>Until next time…</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Underground USA at <a href="https://www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe</a>

How Voter Turnout Disasters & Voter Apathy Are Handing The Country To Democratic Socialists
DEC 12, 2025
How Voter Turnout Disasters & Voter Apathy Are Handing The Country To Democratic Socialists
<p>Let’s cut the bullshit, and this is going to be a little harsh, so strap in: the Republican Party, from its bumbling state chapters to the bloated national machine, has once again proven itself utterly incompetent at the one job that matters—getting its voters to the polls in off-year elections.</p><p>On December 9, 2025, in Miami, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.undergroundusa.com/i/181182285/pathetic-voter-turnout-brings-democratic-socialist-influence-to-city-hall-in-miami-mayoral-victory">a measly 21.3% turnout</a> handed the mayor’s office to Democrat Eileen Higgins, who crushed Trump-endorsed Republican Emilio González 59% to 41%. That’s right—only 37,496 out of 175,692 registered voters bothered to show up in a city that’s supposed to be a conservative stronghold in Hispanic-heavy Florida. This isn’t just a loss; it’s a humiliating surrender, ending nearly 30 years of GOP control in a place where Republicans have preached family values and border security for generations.</p><p>Higgins, a 61-year-old former county commissioner with a resume padded by <a target="_blank" href="https://nypost.com/2025/12/09/us-news/democrat-wins-miami-mayoral-race-for-first-time-in-nearly-30-years-marking-major-gop-loss">Peace Corps stints in Belize</a>, didn’t just win—she signed on explicitly to Democratic Socialism, campaigning with a platform that reeked of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/eileen-higgins-wins-miami-mayoral-runoff-breaking-30-year-democratic-drought/">equity-driven policies</a>, environmental hand-wringing over Biscayne Bay, and streamlined services that sound an awful lot like government overreach dressed in feel-good drag. Her victory amplified a realignment among Hispanic voters battered by economic squeezes and federal policy whiplash, as noted in sharp election coverage.</p><p>And it’s not an isolated fuck-up. Across the country, from Seattle’s socialist strongholds to New York’s progressive playgrounds, <a target="_blank" href="https://jacobin.com/2025/11/municipal-elections-democratic-socialism-mamdani-dsa">Democratic Socialists are racking up wins</a> in these low-stakes races, turning city halls into petri dishes for equity experiments and wealth redistribution schemes. The GOP? They’re asleep at the wheel, too busy circle-jerking over presidential fantasies to notice the ground crumbling beneath them.</p><p>Miami’s debacle is the poster child for this electoral malpractice. Higgins waltzed into office by hammering affordable housing and falsely slamming Republican immigration crackdowns as heartless attacks on Cuban, Venezuelan, and Haitian families right in Little Havana. González, the ex-city manager who ran USCIS under Bush and pushed for axing property taxes while toughening borders, had the dream team of endorsements: Trump, DeSantis, Rick Scott, Ted Cruz. What did it get him? A 41% ass-kicking in a nonpartisan race where national Dem groups <em>poured in cash to flip the script</em>.</p><p>Turnout at 21.3% is unacceptable at <em>every level</em>—city, county, state, national. It’s not bad luck; it’s a symptom of a party that’s forgotten how to fight when the cameras aren’t rolling. Republicans whine about “low-turnout protests” fueling these losses, as if that’s an excuse rather than a confession of their own laziness.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/democrats-florida-georgia/2025/12/10/id/1237801/">NewsMax reports</a> Democrats crowing about these Florida and Georgia off-year victories as “momentum” for 2026, with the Democrat Legislative Campaign Committee dropping <em>$50 million on an expanded war chest targeting 42 state chambers</em>. In Georgia, Dems snagged a state House special election to replace a Republican rep, narrowing the GOP edge while holding onto a runoff in suburban Atlanta. These aren’t flukes; they’re the bleeding edge of a socialist creep that’s already colonized blue cities but now eyes red-state underbellies.</p><p>This wave of Democratic Socialist triumphs isn’t confined to Miami’s humid sprawl. Zoom out, and you’ll see the pattern: from Seattle, where eco-socialists have locked down city council seats with mandates for rent control and “just transition” green boondoggles, to New York, where Mamdani and AOC-style firebrands have turned boroughs into laboratories for universal basic income pilots and defund-the-police reruns. Miami’s just the latest notch, a gateway drug for Marxism-lite in the Sunshine State, complete with Higgins’ full-throated embrace of the ideology.</p><p>These wins thrive in the shadows of off-year apathy, where ideologues on the Left mobilize like it’s D-Day, door-knocking and meme-warrioring while conservatives treat local races like optional Netflix binges. The GOP apparatuses—those sclerotic state parties and the national RNC clown car—deserve a lion’s share of the blame for this abstract failure to manufacture turnout. They’ve got the data, the donor lists, the algorithms, but zero fucking aptitude to use them. Instead of blanketing airwaves with ads exposing how “Democratic Socialism” is just Stalinism with pronouns, they let narratives fester unchecked.</p><p>Deep-pocket Republicans and conservatives, those Wall Street fat cats and Silicon Valley turncoats, too busy golfing and comfortable in their self-importance, who fund the party like it’s a vanity project, are the <em>worst</em> offenders. Clueless doesn’t begin to cover it—they’re willfully blind, dumping <em>billions</em> into presidential PACs and TV blitzes while starving the grassroots organizations that actually do <em>effective</em> work at the local level. Preserving Trump’s reform movement? Forget it. Without recapturing county commissions, school boards, and state legislatures—and maintaining majorities in the US House, that “movement” is just a tweetstorm waiting to die.</p><p>But here’s the ugly truth, and I’m sure you’re <em>not</em> going to like it: the Republican voter base owns this mess too. You—yes, <em>you</em>, the self-proclaimed patriot scrolling this on your phone—consistently ignore off-year elections like they’re someone else’s problem.</p><p>These off-year and midterm elections <em>aren’t sideshows</em>; they’re the demolition derby where mandated governments get torched before they metastasize. While you’re too busy watching little Portnoy’s soccer game or lying to yourself that everyone else will show up to the polls, ignoring that special election for city council or state rep (a true mark of apathetic laziness, I might add), the Marxist left’s activists—those tattooed, nose-riged baristas and arrogant adjunct profesors high on their own propaganda—<em>don’t rest</em>. They bus in voters, litigate every ballot, and whisper sweet nothings about “systemic inequities” to flip precincts one by one.</p><p>Off-year races are where the <em>real</em> power consolidates: zoning laws that greenlight homeless encampments, curricula that indoctrinate kids with critical race theory, budgets that balloon welfare rolls. By sitting it out and/or absolving yourself from your civic responsibility to vote, conservatives and Libertarians aren’t abstaining; they’re <em>abdicating</em>, handing the keys to the very radicals who view your values—our values—as obstacles to their Marxist utopia.</p><p>The national GOP’s response? Pathetic deflections.</p><p>President Trump, rallying in Pennsylvania, sniped at Democrats as “Bonnie and Clyde preaching public safety” and the “enemy of the working class,” urging focus on prices, borders, and growth. Fair enough, but that’s 2026 talk. Where’s the machine to make it stick in 2025’s election battles? State parties in Florida and Georgia mumble about “media-fueled protests” and low turnout favoring “ideologically motivated” Dems, as if building motivation is optional.</p><p>Bullshit!</p><p>The deep-pocket crowd needs to <strong><em>wake up</em></strong>: invest in the future, or watch it burn. Fund those scrappy organizations that spearhead county initiatives that <em>reclaim the narrative</em>—town halls blasting the dangers of socialism and Marxism masquerading as “progressive equity.” Educate the base, <em>not</em> with useless TED Talks, but with billboards and mailers screaming how Democratic Socialism guts small businesses, spikes crime, and erodes freedoms.</p><p>Grassroots isn’t a buzzword; it’s the firewall against this creep.</p><p>No reform movement—not Trump’s, not whatever MAGA 2.0 or libertarian fever dream follows—can succeed if Republican, conservative, and Libertarian voters stay unengaged and apathetic to off-year and midterm elections, and no grassroots movement to save the nation can succeed id the deep-pockets of the Right ignore their responsibility to the nation that provided them the opportunity to be successful in the fucking first place.</p><p>The activists, financiers, and voters of the Marxist and arrogantly ignorant Left <em>don’t rest</em>. They plot, they agitate, they <em>vote</em>; their commissars depend on it. We simply cannot be apathetic and unengaged anymore. Get off your ass, GOP, and consolidate your slates so there’s not thirteen people running at the same fucking time! Take your hands out of your pockets, money people, and start funding the local, county, and state movements. Politics trickles <em>up</em>, not down!</p><p>And this must all start yesterday—or we need to get used to toasting victories from the opposition’s banquet.</p><p>When we come back, our segment on <em>America’s Third Watch</em>, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.</p><p>In Closing…</p><p>Miami just handed its mayor’s office to an open Democratic Socialist because only 21.3% of voters showed up. Seattle, New York, Georgia, New Jersey, Virginia: the same pattern, the same apathy.</p><p>The GOP machine has proved itself useless too many times, the big donors are, evidently, either clueless or too self-absorbed, and too many of us treat off-year elections like optional chores.</p><p>Here’s the brutal truth: no Trump movement, no conservative comeback, no libertarian revival survives if we keep sleeping through the fights that actually build power. The Marxist left never rests. Starting now, neither can we.</p><p>Wake up, show up, or watch every city fall—watch our Republic fall, one pathetic turnout at a time.</p><p>Until next time…</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Underground USA at <a href="https://www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe</a>

Israel's Iron Beam & The Dawn Of A Nuclear Weapons-Free Future
DEC 8, 2025
Israel's Iron Beam & The Dawn Of A Nuclear Weapons-Free Future
<p>In the shadowed corridors of modern warfare, where drones swarm like locusts and missiles arc across borders with impersonal precision, a quiet revolution is unfolding. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.eurasiantimes.com/iron-beam-israel-on-the-cusp-of/">Israel’s Iron Beam</a>, a high-powered laser defense system, stands poised to redefine the rules of engagement.</p><p>As we stand on the precipice of its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/israeli-anti-missile-laser-system-iron-beam-ready-military-use-this-year-2025-09-17/">full deployment by December 30, 2025</a>, this technology—born from urgency and ingenuity—offers not just a shield against immediate threats, but a beacon of hope for a world long haunted by the specter of nuclear annihilation. Developed over more than a decade by<a target="_blank" href="https://thedefensepost.com/2025/12/02/israel-iron-beam/"> Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Elbit Systems</a>, Iron Beam represents Israel’s audacious leap into directed-energy weapons, transforming science fiction into frontline reality.</p><p>The system’s journey has been one of relentless iteration, spurred by the brutal lessons of conflict. Unveiled in conceptual form years ago, Iron Beam accelerated after the October 7, 2023, Hamas assault, which unleashed thousands of rockets and drones, overwhelming traditional defenses. By September 2025, prototypes had already proven their mettle in combat, intercepting at least 40 Hezbollah drones in October 2024— a feat that saved civilian lives and safeguarded critical infrastructure without firing a single costly missile.</p><p>Brig. Gen. (res.) Danny Gold, head of the Israel Defense Ministry’s Directorate of Defense Research & Development (MAFAT), proclaimed, “Israel is the first country in the world to present a massive operational laser capability for intercepting threats.”</p><p>At its core, Iron Beam is a ground-based, 100-kilowatt fiber laser, capable of zapping rockets, mortars, and UAVs at ranges up to 10 kilometers—at the speed of light, no less. Each interception costs a mere half-dollar, akin to “turning on the lights,” as Defense Ministry Director-General Amir Baram aptly put it. This contrasts starkly with the $50,000 price tag of an Iron Dome interceptor, addressing the ammunition shortages exposed during the 12-day Iran-Israel War in June 2025, when nearly 600 Iranian missiles and over 1,000 drones tested Israel’s multilayered defenses to their limits.</p><p>What elevates Iron Beam beyond tactical brilliance is its seamless integration into Israel’s existing arsenal. It doesn’t replace Iron Dome, David’s Sling, or Arrow; it augments them.</p><p>Upon detecting an incoming threat, shared radar and command systems decide in seconds whether to deploy a laser zap or a kinetic missile, optimizing for cost and efficacy. Variants like Lite Beam (10 kW for vehicle mounting) and Iron Beam M (50 kW for trucks) promise mobile protection, extending this “unlimited magazine” to ground forces.</p><p>Of course, challenges remain—lasers falter in adverse weather, and are untested in full-spectrum barrages like October 7—but comprehensive trials, including those validated in 2025, affirm its reliability. As Gold noted at a Tel Aviv defense summit, “The Iron Beam laser system is expected to fundamentally change the rules of engagement on the battlefield.”</p><p>For Israel, besieged on multiple fronts, this isn’t just defense; it’s survival elevated to strategic supremacy.</p><p>Across the Atlantic, the United States mirrors this ambition with its own directed-energy pursuits, underscoring a transatlantic synergy vital to global security. The US Army’s Indirect Fire Protection Capability-High Energy Laser (IFPC-HEL) prototype program, overseen by the Rapid Capabilities & Critical Technologies Office, is the closest analog to Iron Beam. Awarded a $221 million contract to Lockheed Martin in 2023, IFPC-HEL aims to neutralize rockets, artillery, mortars, and drones with a 300 kW-class laser, offering near-unlimited shots at pennies per engagement. By late 2025, prototypes will be in advanced testing and integration phases, with initial fielding targeted for fiscal year 2026.</p><p>The US Navy’s HELIOS system, tested successfully in 2024 aboard the USS Preble against UAVs, complements this, while a 2024 congressional appropriation of $1.2 billion funneled directly to Israel’s Iron Beam procurement signals deep collaboration. Lockheed Martin’s 2022 partnership with Rafael to adapt Iron Beam for American needs hints at potential US adoption, should Israeli field trials—slated for imminent rollout—exceed expectations.</p><p>Yet, as a National Defense Industrial Association report laments, the US lacks a mature laser supply chain, positioning Israel’s breakthrough as a potential catalyst for accelerated deployment. This parallel path isn’t mere duplication; it’s a promise of shared resilience, where American scale meets Israeli innovation.</p><p>At its heart, Iron Beam’s promise transcends borders, whispering a profound possibility: the obsolescence of nuclear war. Directed-energy systems like this stand on the cusp of rendering nuclear arsenals relics, not through disarmament decrees, but through unassailable defense. Nuclear weapons derive their terror from assured penetration—mutually assured destruction hinges on missiles evading interception to deliver city-obliterating payloads. Iron Beam disrupts this calculus. Operating at light speed with pinpoint accuracy, lasers can engage intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) during boost phase, vaporizing warheads before separation, or midcourse, piercing decoys that confound kinetic interceptors like the US Ground-Based Midcourse Defense.</p><p>Cost barriers vanish, too: a single ICBM interception via a missile might run into the millions, but lasers scale infinitely with electricity alone. In the 2025 Iran-Israel clash, Iranian barrages strained stockpiles; imagine scaling that to nuclear salvos. Coupled with space-based relays or hypersonic countermeasures, these beams could create impenetrable shields, deterring launches outright. As Baram envisions, battlefields will teem with affordable lasers, neutralizing swarms before they coalesce into existential threats. This isn’t utopian fancy—it’s physics: energy directed with precision outpaces brute force.</p><p>Nuclear war, that 20th-century sword of Damocles, fades into history’s shadow, supplanted by a defensive web that renders aggression futile. Hope lies here, in the hum of fiber optics, promising a world where deterrence evolves from fear to fortitude.</p><p>Yet, this dawn carries shadows.</p><p>As Iron Beam and its kin mature, the West—Israel and the United States foremost—must vigilantly fortify against espionage from the 21st-century axis of adversaries: China, Russia, and to lesser degrees, Iran and North Korea. These regimes, through state-linked corporations, have honed corporate infiltration into an art of subversion. Chinese firms like Huawei have been implicated in pilfering dual-use tech, while Russian hackers target defense supply chains with impunity. Iran’s cyber units and North Korea’s illicit networks lurk as opportunistic vectors.</p><p>Full-spectrum countermeasures—zero-trust architectures, AI-driven anomaly detection, and draconian export controls—are imperative. The US CHIPS Act’s safeguards and Israel’s elite Unit 8200 must expand, auditing partners ruthlessly. To let this technology slip would arm tyrants with the means to pierce free-world defenses, inverting hope into peril. Vicious guardianship isn’t paranoia; it’s stewardship of humanity’s safeguard.</p><p>In weaving this future, the West confronts an internal foe: the creeping tolerance of antisemitism, especially in the United States. This venomous undercurrent erodes the very collaboration birthing Iron Beam—Jews and Israelis, engines of this innovation, face vilification that chills partnerships and stifles talent.</p><p>From campus protests to online vitriol, it fractures the trust essential for joint ventures like Lockheed-Rafael. Such bigotry is anathema to progress; it severs the intellectual arteries feeding directed-energy breakthroughs.</p><p>To protect the free world, America and its allies must excise this poison with unyielding resolve—through education and cultural recommitment, recalling the genocidal horrors that this sick ideology foments.</p><p>Only then can we harness Iron Beam’s light—and the light of similar, more potent projects—to illuminate, not just defend.</p><p>Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus…and the probability of a secure tomorrow.</p><p>When we come back, our segment on <em>America’s Third Watch</em>, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.</p><p>In Closing…</p><p>Iron Beam isn’t just another weapon; it’s the first real crack in the nuclear nightmare we’ve lived under since 1945. Light-speed, near-limitless, penny-per-shot defense is finally here, and it can turn ICBMs into expensive fireworks before they leave the atmosphere.</p><p>Israel is lighting the way, America is racing to catch up, and together they’re writing the obituary for mutually assured destruction.</p><p>But none of this survives if the technology leaks to Beijing or Moscow, and none of it flourishes while antisemitism is shrugged off as acceptable opinion. Guard the secrets, and guard the people who built them. The free world’s future is literally riding on a beam of light—don’t let anyone dim it.</p><p>Now that’s one hell of a Christmas present…to the world.</p><p>Until next time…</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Underground USA at <a href="https://www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe</a>

As We Prepare for Christmas, I Give You The Unholy Trinity: Islamism, Marxism, & Woke Progressivism
DEC 5, 2025
As We Prepare for Christmas, I Give You The Unholy Trinity: Islamism, Marxism, & Woke Progressivism
<p>As we prepare, once again, to celebrate Christmas, a time of year where we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, peace on Earth, and goodwill towards all men, a dark alliance is crystallizing before our eyes both in the United States and across the West. Islamism, militant Marxism, and anti-Christian progressivism have coalesced in their shared disdain of the Christian foundations of Western civilization and are now openly synthesizing to dismantle them.</p><p>What binds these three ideologies is not mere tactical convenience; it’s a visceral, existential loathing of the Cross; of individual conscience and of any authority higher than the totalitarian collective or theocratic caliphate. Each detests Christianity because Christianity birthed the very concepts of human dignity, free will, and limited government that now stand in their way.</p><p>Islamism assaults Christianity in the public square with ever-bolder demands for supremacy. In the United States, we see Muslim-majority school boards in places like Michigan pushing to remove Easter and Christmas references while aggressively <a target="_blank" href="https://www.freep.com/story/news/education/2019/04/20/detroit-schools-close-muslim-holiday-eid-al-fitr/3522641002/">inserting Ramadan celebrations.</a> Dearborn public schools now <a target="_blank" href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/dearborn-residents-push-city-curb-noise-levels-from-mosques-call-prayer">broadcast the Islamic call to prayer</a> over loudspeakers, an act unthinkable for any Christian prayer.</p><p>Mosques across the country, funded by Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood, openly distribute literature calling for the eventual subjugation of “disbelievers.” The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an organization with documented Hamas ties, sues any locale that dares reject the construction of mega-mosques and intimidates critics with accusations of “Islamophobia” until Christian symbols are stripped from public view.</p><p>The goal is simple: <em>dhimmi</em> status for Christians, second-class citizenship under expanding sharia zones.</p><p>Marxism, reborn as “Democratic Socialism” and “anti-racism,” wages war on Christianity through the capture of institutions. The Biden administration’s <a target="_blank" href="https://judiciary.house.gov/media/press-releases/new-report-details-extent-fbis-weaponization-law-enforcement-against">FBI memo</a> labeling traditionalist Catholics “potential domestic terrorists” for attending Latin Mass was not an aberration; it was <em>policy</em>.</p><p>Public-school curricula now teach children that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.gracechurch.org/news/posts/2307">Christian ethics</a> are inherently bigoted and that the nuclear family, rooted in Christian anthropology, is a tool of White supremacy. And Corporate HR departments force employees to recite land acknowledgments and DEI pledges that implicitly condemn the Christian missionary past as genocide.</p><p>The Marxist demand for total politicization of life leaves no room for the Christian distinction between the City of God and the City of Man; everything must be subordinated to the revolution.</p><p>Anti-Christian progressivism, the most insidious of the three because it masquerades as “compassion,” completes the pincer movement. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.city-journal.org/article/the-real-story-behind-drag-queen-story-hour">Drag Queen Story Hours</a> in public libraries, funded by taxpayer dollars, are deliberate cultural norm destroyers designed to sexualize children and mock the Christian view of innocence.</p><p>Laws in Canada and proposed in California threaten priests with imprisonment for refusing to use “preferred pronouns” or for teaching biblical morality in private. And the Eucharist itself is now mocked in “art” exhibits and “inclusive” church services that celebrate abortion as a sacrament.</p><p>Progressivism’s core dogma—that the autonomous, transgressive self is the only god—cannot coexist with a faith that proclaims “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself.”</p><p>Each of these ideologies is fundamentally incompatible with freedom, liberty, individualism, and Western culture:</p><p>* Islamism demands submission (that is the literal meaning of “Islam”). There is no private conscience exempt from the ummah, no separation of mosque and state, no equality before the law between Muslim and non-Muslim. Apostasy is punishable by death, women are legally worth half a man, and the endgame is a global caliphate.</p><p>* Marxism requires the abolition of private property, the destruction of the family, and the erasure of all non-class-based identity, especially religious identity. The individual is nothing; the collective is everything. Every Marxist regime in history has moved swiftly to crush the Church because Christianity teaches that man’s ultimate loyalty belongs to God, not the Party.</p><p>* Anti-Christian progressivism replaces the<em> imago Dei</em> with the sovereign, sexually liberated consumer. It cannot tolerate a religion that speaks of sin, judgment, and objective truth. Its therapeutic-totalitarian impulse demands that every knee bow to the latest sexual orthodoxy, enforced by cancellation, deplatforming, and, increasingly, state power.</p><p>History is unambiguous about where such alliances lead.</p><p>Islam conquered the Christian Middle East and North Africa in the 7th–8th centuries, turning the cradle of Christianity into a wasteland of <em>dhimmitude</em> and demolishing churches. Spain required eight centuries of <em>Reconquista</em> to reclaim its Christian soul. The Balkans still bleed from five centuries of Ottoman rule.</p><p>Marxism murdered over 100 million people in the 20th century. The Bolsheviks dynamited cathedrals, shot priests in the back of the head, and sent nuns to the Gulag. Mao’s Cultural Revolution saw Red Guards desecrate churches and force Christians to bow before his portrait. Every Marxist experiment ends the same way: the Church in the catacombs or the cemetery.</p><p>Anti-Christian progressivism has its own bloody résumé. The French Revolution’s dechristianization campaign guillotined thousands of priests and nuns and turned Notre-Dame into a “Temple of Reason.” The Spanish Republic’s Red Terror in 1936 saw 6,800 clergy murdered in six months, their bodies mutilated and displayed. Today’s soft totalitarianism simply uses social credit scores, bank deplatforming, and child-protective services instead of firing squads.</p><p>Christians—especially Catholics, who remain the largest and most visible target—and Jews, who are next on the list after the Church is broken, <em>must</em> wake up. This is not a culture war; it is a war of conquest with three armies marching under different banners toward the same goal: the extinction of the Christian memory of the West.</p><p>Push back intelligently. Build parallel institutions. Homeschool ruthlessly. Support politicians who still fear God <em>more</em> than The New York Times. Refuse to fund the regime’s propaganda mills disguised as universities. Most of all, stop pretending “dialogue” and “coexistence” are possible with ideologies that have openly declared war on your faith, your family, and your freedom.</p><p>Because if this nexus is not stopped, the West will suffer the same fate as Constantinople in 1453, as Russia in 1918, as Spain in 1936: the bells will fall silent, the cathedrals will become museums or mosques, and liberty will be a forgotten word.</p><p>Ask yourself this question as we head into the yule tide: When we wish others peace on Earth and goodwill toward men, is everyone wishing the same thing for you and yours?</p><p>The totalitarians are counting on our naïveté and our niceness.</p><p>Do not oblige them.</p><p>When we come back, our segment on <em>America’s Third Watch</em>, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.</p><p>In Closing…</p><p>The bells are already cracking. Islamism, Marxism, and woke progressivism have dropped the mask and formed an open alliance against the Cross that built the free West. Their endgame is the same: submission, collectivization, and the corruption of every soul.</p><p>History screams the warning: Constantinople, Moscow, Madrid; churches burned, priests slaughtered, liberty extinguished. Christians, especially Catholics, and our Jewish elder brothers <em>must</em> choose now: polite dialogue with totalitarians or fierce, intelligent resistance.</p><p>Build the arks, teach your children, fund no enemies, vote like your freedom depends on it; because it does.

Local Election Results Demand Conservatives Take The Reins From The Impotent GOP Apparatuses

Local Election Results Demand Conservatives Take The Reins From The Impotent GOP Apparatuses
<p>In the wake of the November 4, 2025, off-year elections, conservatives, Libertarians, and Republicans must confront a brutal reality: the ground is shifting faster than the establishment wants to admit. Democrats and their radical Democratic Socialist allies didn’t just notch victories—they steamrolled through key races, from New York City’s mayoral upset to sweeping school board takeovers nationwide.</p><p>Zohran Mamdani, that self-avowed socialist jihadi, clinched the NYC mayor’s office with 50.4% of the vote, trouncing establishment hacks like Andrew Cuomo and the hapless Curtis Sliwa. At 34, this Marxist sympathizer becomes the city’s youngest mayor in over a century and its first Muslim leader, peddling rent freezes, free buses, and wealth taxes that will bleed New York City dry.</p><p>Meanwhile, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/2025/11/05/nx-s1-5599185/2025-election-results-georgia-pennsylvania-democrats-win">Democrats flipped</a> governorships in Virginia and New Jersey, locked down Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court seats, and rammed through California’s Proposition 50 to gerrymander five extra House seats their way.</p><p>But the real gut punch? Dozens of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.chalkbeat.org/colorado/2025/11/06/progressive-school-board-candidates-win-in-many-districts/">local school board races</a> tumbling to progressive extremists, from Douglas County, Colorado, where <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nea.org/nea-today/all-news-articles/election-2025-voters-deliver-massive-wins-students-and-schools">union-backed radicals</a> ousted a conservative majority, to Pennsylvania’s Central Bucks County, where pro-NEA slates swept all four seats, dismantling Moms for Liberty’s hard-fought gains.</p><p>These aren’t flukes; they’re flare-ups of a Leftist inferno that’s already licking at the heels of our slim majorities in the US House, Senate, and state legislatures. If Republicans and their complacent enablers don’t snap awake, 2026 midterms will be a bloodbath, and 2028 a funeral dirge for limited government.</p><p>The Left’s get-out-the-vote (GOTV) machine is a juggernaut, oiled by dark money NGO cash and socialist zealotry, and it exposed Republican vulnerabilities like a scalpel. Mamdani’s win wasn’t luck—it was a masterclass in mobilization. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/2025/11/04/nx-s1-5597788/election-results-zohran-mamdani-new-york-city-mayor">His campaign</a> unleashed tens of thousands of volunteers, turbocharged by digital savvy that targeted young, immigrant, and renter blocs with viral TikToks on affordability and anti-corporate rage. Turnout shattered records: over 2 million ballots, the highest for a NYC mayoral race since 1969, driven by first-time voters under 45 who backed him by 43 points.</p><p>The Democratic Socialists of America <a target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/2025/11/05/nx-s1-5599185/2025-election-results-georgia-pennsylvania-democrats-win">crowed about municipal triumphs</a> in Detroit, Atlanta, and Cambridge, Massachusetts, too—proof that their grassroots army doesn’t sleep. And school boards? Forget “nonpartisan” pretense. In Colorado’s Woodland Park and Mesa County, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cpr.org/2025/11/05/colorado-school-board-election-results/">progressive coalitions</a>, flush with teachers’ union dollars (the Denver Classroom Teachers Association alone dumped $76,809 on races), flipped conservative strongholds by promising “transparency” while plotting to indoctrinate kids with climate hysteria and gender ideology. The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nea.org/nea-today/all-news-articles/election-2025-voters-deliver-massive-wins-students-and-schools">National Education Association</a> boasted 77% win rates in Iowa and Colorado, turning sleepy local contests into socialist beachheads. Republicans? We showed up with limp flyers and donor luncheons. This isn’t complacency—it’s suicide. The Left’s apparatus turned out voters who see Trump as the devil, and we let them.</p><p>Compounding this disaster is the mainstream media’s venomous bias, a full-throated war on anything red. Outlets like NPR and PBS framed these wins as a “Democratic cruise” and “<a target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/2025/11/04/nx-s1-5597788/election-results-zohran-mamdani-new-york-city-mayor">historic night</a>,” gushing over Mamdani’s “charisma” while sneering at Trump’s “chaotic tenure.” Their core agenda? Smear conservatives as extremists, amplify every Democrat sob story, and bury GOP successes.</p><p>This hatred peaks with President Trump: Al Jazeera and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/election-day-2025-voting-results/">CBS reveled</a> in his failed endorsements, like backing Cuomo (whom he called a “thug”) only to watch Mamdani surge. Trump warned of a “communist” takeover—correctly—and the press twisted it into “bigotry.”</p><p>Meanwhile, Republican messaging? A joke. The establishment’s tin-eared consultants peddle focus-group pabulum, ignoring how Democrats flood airwaves with affordability fairy tales. Exit polls showed Latinos breaking 2-to-1 for “moderates” like Abigail Spanberger in Virginia, but that’s code for Leftist enablers who’ll greenlight open borders and woke curricula. Without countering this narrative firehose, Republicans hand Democrats and their socialist puppeteers an unearned edge. The media isn’t neutral—it’s a Democrat super PAC, and our side’s too busy golfing with donors to fight back.</p><p>Enough finger-pointing at the elites; the real indictment falls on the Republican and conservative establishments that have failed us spectacularly. These country-club consultants and beltway hacks—think McConnell’s whisper network or RNC’s fossilized strategists—have squandered Trump’s 2024 mandate with infighting and half-measures. They botched <a target="_blank" href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/21/culture-war-democrats-school-boards-00663699">school board defenses</a>, letting Pipeline Fund liberals pour dark money into flipping two dozen Pennsylvania seats. Complacent doesn’t cover it; it’s betrayal.</p><p>Rank-and-file conservatives and Republicans—you, me, the PTA dads and chamber volunteers—must <em>seize the reins</em> where these failures flail. <em>We’re</em> the ones who know the stakes: preserving the America-first agenda that delivered booming growth, slashed taxes, fortified borders, crushed crime, and revived businesses from the Biden-Harris intentional wreckage.</p><p>Trump’s administration isn’t perfect, but let’s message the wins unapologetically: Unemployment at historic lows, energy independence roaring back, illegals deported by the millions, urban crime plunging 20% in red cities. We hammered inflation from 9% to under 2%, putting groceries back in reach for working families.</p><p>But the job’s half-done, and it demands ironclad Republican majorities in the House and Senate.</p><p>Hammer this: <em>Eliminate</em> the income tax—a Libertarian dream that starves the welfare beast and empowers individuals. <em>Codify every Trump executive order</em> into unbreakable law: wall funding, energy deregulation, Second Amendment safeguards. Without these, socialists like Mamdani will tax us into oblivion, open borders to chaos, and teach kids to hate America.</p><p>State houses too—Georgia’s utility commission flip and Pennsylvania’s court lock-in show the Left’s playbook; <em>we can’t cede ground</em>. Door-knock, tweet, rally: Tout achievements, torch failures, tie it to 2026 survival.</p><p>Bottom line: <em>We cannot outsource victory to the Republican apparatus</em>. They’ve proven they’re allergic to wins beyond donor checks. Midterms? 2028? Forget relying on them—it’s “If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.”</p><p>Rank-and-file warriors, build your own GOTV machines: Neighborhood barbecues <em>over</em> consultant spreadsheets, X threads <em>over</em> MSNBC rebuttals. Channel Trump’s energy, not McCain’s milquetoast. That means advancing <em>achievements and facts</em>, <strong><em>not</em></strong> childish memes. These local routs—Mamdani’s socialist throne, school boards gone rogue—scream that complacency kills.</p><p>Conservatives, Libertarians, Republicans: Rise up! Message ruthlessly! Vote like your Republic depends on it, because it <em>does</em>.</p><p>The clarion call is here—<strong><em>answer it</em></strong>, or bury the dream.</p><p>Catholics and Christians, <em>reclaim your pulpits</em>—lest Marxism’s shadow eclipse the Light.</p><p>When we come back, our segment on <em>America’s Third Watch</em>, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.</p><p>In Closing…</p><p>These local victories by Democrats and Democratic Socialists (let’s be honest, Marxists) aren’t isolated upsets; they’re the warning shot. The Left’s turnout machine is ruthless, the media is their unpaid propaganda arm, and the GOP establishment is still asleep at the wheel.</p><p>Slim majorities in Congress and statehouses won’t save themselves.</p><p>Rank-and-file conservatives, Libertarians, Republicans: the professionals have failed us<em> too many times</em>. If we want the income tax killed, Trump’s orders codified, borders sealed, and America put first, <em>we have to deliver the message and the votes </em><strong><em>ourselves</em></strong>.</p><p>The clarion call is blaring. Answer it, or lose everything.</p><p>Until next time…</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Underground USA at <a href="https://www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe</a>
