When Bernie Sanders supporter James Hodgkinson tried to assassinate a group of Republicans in 2017, shooting five people, it was considered an anomaly. Any campaign can have one nut associated with it, after all. But many are reconsidering this assessment now that a Project Veritas (PV) undercover video has captured a violent Sanders field organizer talking about putting political opponents in Stalinesque “gulags” and saying that the campaign is full of people of his mind. More troubling still is that presidential contender Sanders (I-Vt.) has thus far failed to fire the organizer, with a staffer dismissing talk about his admissions as “political gossip.”
Also striking is how the mainstream media are ignoring a story which, if it involved President Trump, would receive wall-to wall coverage. The unbelievable remarks by the Sanders underling, Iowa field organizer Kyle Jurek, make this clear. Here’s a review, courtesy ofThe New American’s R. Cort Kirkwood (all quotations are his and Jurek’s):
• “‘F****in’ cities burn’ if Trump is reelected, the angry organizer said. That’s because ‘the only thing that works, the only thing that fascists understand is violence.’”
• “‘If Bernie doesn’t get the nomination, or it goes to a second round at the DNC convention, f***ing Milwaukee will burn,’ he said. ‘It’ll start in Milwaukee.... When the police push back on that, other cities just f***ing [makes explosion noise].’”
• “‘The cops are gonna be the ones getting f***ing beaten in Milwaukee. They’re gonna call up the National Guard for that s**t. I promise you that.’”
• Jurek also “promised that a Sanders regime would force the Clintons to kill themselves by instituting a ‘reign of terror.’”
• He stated that his socialist comrades would walk “‘into that MSNBC studios, drag those motherf***ers out by their hair, and light them on fire in the streets.’ For liberals, it’s the ‘gulag. Liberals get the wall first.’”
• “‘Do you wanna fight against the revolution?’ he asked to the beat of thumping music. ‘You’re gonna die for it, motherf*** ers.’”
• Jurek stated as well that “Sanders’ ‘free education’ plans would involve ‘teach[ing] you to not be a f***ing nazi.’”
• “Jurek vowed that ‘billionaires,’ a frequent Sanders target, …would have to ‘break rocks 12 hours a day’ because ‘you’re now a working class person and you’re gonna f***ing learn what that means.’”
For those whose thinking couldn’t be madedoubleplusgoodvia school indoctrination, the organizer prescribed American gulags. “There’s a reason Josef Stalin had gulags, right? And actually gulags are a lot better than what the CIA has told us,” he explained. “Like people were actually paid a living wage in gulags, they had conjugal visits in gulags, gulags were actually meant for like re-education.” Of course, this is akin to Holocaust denial. (PV video below).
Just as shocking as these comments, however, is that while this story broke Tuesday, Jurek is still on Sanders’ staff as of this writing. Wow.
In fact, Sanders has been mum on the matter, and one of his other Iowa staffers dismissed the issue by saying that the “hundreds of thousands of Iowans we’ve talked to this caucus season don’t care about political gossip.”
Yet as writer Jack Cashill tweeted, pointing out the obvious:
"Gossip" is when someone says something about you. Self-incrimination is when you say it yourself.https://t.co/cuM8bXszrL
Sanders’ failure to act is quite revealing. After all, he “has spent years convincing voters that his Soviet honeymoon, his support for the Nicaraguan Sandinistas, his admiration for Fidel Castro and Hugo Chávez were all a misunderstanding,”notesAmerican Thinker.
Yet Jurek has now “undercut Sanders’s carefully cultivated public relations persona to win voters and made Sanders look like Mao recrudescent, Stalin reborn, and Pol Pot’s ghost, something worse than even what most suspicious Republicans have ever came up with,” the site continues.
So why is Sanders playing the three “hear, see, and speak no evil” monkeys? First note that the senator is heavily invested in Jurek. For example, it has now been revealed that the organizer has a history of arrests for drug violations and related charges and that the Sanders’ campaign just bailed him out of jail earlier this week after a January 7 apprehension (as PV head James O’Keefe reports below); moreover, there’s a question as to whether campaign funds were used for this purpose.
UPDATE:@BernieSandersCampaign Organizer Kyle Jurek was just released on bail earlier this week after his arrest on 01/07/2020.
Yet Sanders may be invested in another way as well. Jurek also declared that the campaign is full of people such as him — he even provided their first names. This “suggests that maybe Sanders can’t fire Jurek because they’re all like that, and he’d actually have to fire his entire Iowa operation,” surmisesAmerican Thinker.
It goes beyond this, however. Would you want a disgruntled ex-employee out and about shooting his mouth off about the organization’s secrets? An angry, drug-addled and perhaps unstable man such as Jurek could become a loose cannon.
Yet there’s an even more ominous factor, which I’ll introduce with something seemingly unrelated and, unfortunately, quite disturbing. When Paul Gebhard, a right-hand man of discredited pedophiliac sex researcher Alfred Kinsey, explained how they collected “data” on the sexual responses of young children, he statedon video that Kinsey’s men used “manual and oral techniques.”
Why he’d blithely let something so outrageous and revealing slip — this admission of child sexual abuse — was explained well by the Edward Prendick character in the book The Island of Doctor Moreau. “I became habituated to the Beast People, that a thousand things which had seemed unnatural and repulsive speedily became natural and ordinary to me,” he said.
Those inured to evil often reveal at least the tip of their iceberg of iniquity, forgetting the extent to which what has become “natural and ordinary” to them is outrageous to the ordinary person. To put it metaphorically, they “can’t smell their own.”
Now note that Jurek himself said Sanders is merely “masquerading” as a “democratic” socialist and is, in reality, the real thing. This brings us to something for which even many of Sanders’ critics credit him. He may be radical, they’ll say, but unlike his competitors, at least he’s honest.
A more realistic analysis says: If the views he’s expressing are this radical, how much more radical are those he’s hiding?
Second Amendment supporters face a daunting challenge in Virginia for Lobby day, at the Virginia Capitol in Richmond, on 20 January 2020. Those who wish to disarm Virginians have created a trap to frame Second Amendment Supporters as violent white supremacists, going to Richmond to destroy duly elected government.
Virginia Democrat Governor Northam Doubles Down On Stupid
SEE:https://www.ammoland.com/2020/01/virginia-democrat-governor-northams-doubles-down-on-stupid/#axzz6BOshhOF1 "The governor claims in the order, that “credible intelligence” indicates that “tens of thousands of advocates plan to converge on Capitol Square,” for events culminating on January 20 (a scheduled rights rally and Lobby Day, organized by the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL), which has been held annually, without incident, for almost 2 decades) and that “Available information suggests that a substantial number of these demonstrators are expected to come from outside the Commonwealth, may be armed, and have as their purpose not peaceful assembly but violence, rioting, and insurrection.”"
SHOWDOWN IN VIRGINIA – AN URGENT MESSAGE FROM ALEX JONES
Political planets have aligned as a historical Second Amendment showdown is set to take place
The battle for the Republic intensifies as the state of Virginia declares a National Emergency in preparation for the Rally Against Gun Confiscation.
First and Second Amendment rights advocates are gathering from all across the country to peaceably protest Democrat lawmakers’ sweeping gun control measures that could very well create a constitutional crisis and spark the second American Civil War.
According to the mainstream media, Antifa, neo-Nazis and political “extremists” are set to join forces in a symbolic middle finger to the government of Virginia during a massive pro-Second Amendment rally set to take place in Richmond on Monday.
The Democrat-majority state Senate passed legislation on Thursday “that would restrict monthly gun purchases, expand background checks on firearms, and allow localities to ban guns in certain designated areas.”
After Democrats gained a majority in the state’s General Assembly in November, over 100 counties declared themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries.
Additionally, in response to the upcoming Virginia Citizens Defense League pro-gun rally on Monday, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam passed an emergency decree banning firearms from the state Capitol grounds.
While the move is clearly unconstitutional, is Northam a “conspiracy theorist” for fearing the possibility of chaos erupting?
Because, according to George Soros’ Media Matters, Alex Jones is somehow wrong for warning Americans about the possibility of violence or a false flag operation being staged at the rally.
“As Virginia gun rally approaches, Alex Jones and his Infowars outlet hype prospect of violence,” their headline reads, setting the stage for Jones to be blamed if anything happens.
Governor Northam also held a press conference on Wednesday where he claimed to have “credible intelligence from our law enforcement agencies that there are groups with malicious plans for the rally that is planned for Monday.”
On Thursday, three individuals associated with an alleged “racist and anti-Semitic group” called “the Base” were arrested by the FBI.
The group was said to be on its way to attend the rally when they were arrested on federal gun charges and for harboring a Canadian citizen who was in the country illegally.
The image of neo-Nazis attending the rally is meant to dismiss patriotic attendees as racists via guilt by association.
On top of that, a Richmond, Virginia-based Antifa group is set to make an unprecedented declaration of solidarity with conservatives by marching alongside them in defense of the Second Amendment.
However, the history of violence associated with Antifa, specifically when pro-Trump groups are present, cannot be ignored.
Will the group mesh with the pro-gun demonstrators or will they clash and possibly turn their weapons on each other?
Sacramento County is warning residents about high levels of E. coli in the lower American River after testing showed nine of 11 sites were above acceptable levels at some point since the start of the year. E. coli contamination at Tiscornia Beach and Discovery Park’s Steelhead Creek were particularly abhorrent, according to results from the Central Valley Water Board. At times in February and March, E. coli levels were more than seven times the contamination threshold. So far, no one has reported becoming sick due to the elevated levels, the water board said.
2017: Sacramento County Considers Spending Millions On American River Parkway Homeless
CALIFORNIA'S ENVIRONMENTALIST DEMOCRATS FORCE CHILDREN TO SWIM
IN DILUTED SEWAGE
The politically incorrect pollution crisis progressives won’t talk about

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
California’s gold rush began when gold was discovered on a fork of the American River. Its end can also be found on the American River which no longer contains gold, but instead high levels of E. coli bacteria.
The cause of the contamination is only a mystery to the political establishment in the nearby capital.
"A grocery sack containing what appeared to be human feces hung from a branch over the American River," a recent Sacramento Bee story began.
The American River had been named by John Sutter. The Swiss immigrant went bankrupt when his land was overrun by gold prospectors. The new invaders aren’t trying to get rich. They already are. The benevolence of the state’s government in Sacramento means that they get everything for free.
Sutter’s son had founded Sacramento. And Sacramento’s Democrat majority is ‘unfounding’ California. Now the filth of its social welfare policies is fouling the confluence of the Sacramento and American rivers, where explorers once marveled at an expansive landscape, vagrants have set up tent cities.
E. coli levels at beaches are supposed to be at 88 or below, and anything over 1,000 is supposed to lead to a beach closure. At 500, there’s a 10% chance of gastroenteritis and a 4% risk of febrile respiratory disease. But at Discovery Park, the numbers went as high as 2419.6 in December 2019.
The E.coli levels had climbed so high that labs could no longer even properly measure them.
Discovery Park is a convenient getaway for Sacramentans. More recently however, visitors describe mountains of trash, waste, and needles. “Don't walk, wade or swim without shoes, used needles have been strewn throughout the park,” one Californian wrote. “I found crack heads, hookers, and crazy people screaming obscenities and throwing punches at anyone who came too close,” another described.
"I have been threatened by homeless trying to hit me, bitten by a homeless person’s dog," one intrepid visitor reported. "I have seen cleanup crews load as many as 4 bins the size of railroad cars with trash and it still isn't enough."
Sacramento County has put up signs warning people to wash their hands after touching the water and not to drink the water or even swim if they have open cuts, while blaming the E. coli contamination on bacteria from the “intestines of mammals – from wildlife to humans”. While that’s scientifically true, it isn’t the bears or the beavers that turned the river into a foul stew of bacteria. It’s the people.
Californians are swimming and tubing in water that Democrat politicians have made hazardous.
The environmental movement was built on claims of pollution, real or false, before leaving behind the field of actual health risks to people for science fiction fantasies about planetary destruction, ice ages and global warming. Meanwhile at Tiscornia Beach, at the confluence of the American and Sacramento Rivers, the EPA’s threshold, a level of contamination that would make 32 out of 1,000 people sick, had been repeatedly exceeded. A professor referred to samples of the river water as “diluted sewage”.
That’s a problem considering that the American River is used to provide drinking water to Sacramento.
But officials will spend the next three to four years gathering samples to understand the problem.
What can happen to the swimmers, campers, and boaters while the officials spend years gathering samples and shifting blame for the problem?
This summer, a Shigella outbreak infected multiple people on the Santa Ana River. Shigella is potentially fatal. The Downey Park area was shut down for a week over the summer. After a week, the authorities insisted that there was probably nothing wrong with the river, but warned everyone to wash their hands after touching the river. Just not in the river which has homeless encampments nearby.
One obvious concern is that the Santa Ana River is used for drinking water across Orange County. While that water supply in Orange County is unlikely to be affected by the water pollution near Downey Park, the contamination is a warning that the homeless problem is not just a threat to campers and swimmers. Rivers like these are vast and have natural cleansing mechanisms, but everything has a limit.
The Sacramento River provides 31 percent of California’s water supply. The American River is a crucial elements of Sacramento’s water supply. The Santa Ana River is vital to Orange County’s water resources.
No part of any body of water from which drinking water is drawn should consist of “diluted sewage”.
The San Diego River is the largest local source of drinking water for San Diego County. Homeless encampments began to pop up alongside the San Diego River leading to piles of garbage and waste.
Earlier this year, the San Diego Water Board asked local agencies to, in the words of the local FOX affiliate, “curtail the flow of human fecal matter into the San Diego River.”
"It was surprising to find out there was actually a lot of human waste present in the San Diego River water shed," David Gibson, the Executive Officer of the Water Board, said. "There are organisms like noroviruses that cause massive illnesses on cruise ships that we're finding in our own water.”
Tracking the spread of infections caused by homeless waste is difficult. Most people don’t even associate bouts of stomach problems with a recent weekend swimming or boating on the water.
Or surfing.
In one study of 654 surfers, researchers noted a 3-fold increase in ear infections and a 5-fold increase in infected open wounds. Exposure to seawater had come to mean exposure to human fecal matter.
Surfing, the quintessential Californian sport, has been endangered by the state’s homeless policies.
The California lifestyle of beaches, swimming and surfing, hiking and camping, increasingly means risky contact with human waste. And the illnesses, from the merely gastrointestinal, to even more serious disease outbreaks, reflect the transformation of a prosperous state into a Third World country.
Environmentalists once obsessed over Love Canal. Today they ignore the contamination of California and the environmental hazards for families, especially children, because it’s politically incorrect.
While movies like Dark Waters depict corporate villains who cover up environmental catastrophes that harm families, in California, it’s the party of the environmentalists that has overseen an unprecedented environmental catastrophe that has affected some of the state’s major rivers and drinking supply.
And it’s the Democrats and their leftist organizations who have been covering up the threat.
No state is more obsessed with environmental virtue signaling than California. From windmills to solar panels, from plastic bag bans to straw bans, from a refusal to construct dams to putting fish ahead of farmers, Sacramento has imposed an environmentalist dystopia on its progressive populace.
Meanwhile Democrat social policies have left local children swimming in water that is diluted sewage.
Over the weekend, Barber hosted a radical Democrat leftist, feminist, and charismatic at his church, using the church’s stage as a podcast studio for Barber’s upcoming podcast debut that will be called the Plowshare Podcast.
How interesting and fun! Last night’s podcast recording with William Dwight McKissic Sr. was inspirational and informative. When it publishes, some aspects of the evening may surprise you.
Dwight McKissic is a Jessie Jackson-level race-baiter who uses his position as a token spokesman for progressives in the SBC to drive the convention to the left. McKissic proudly voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016, a rabidly pro-choice politician who believes in elective abortion up to the point of birth. McKissic, a tongue-speaking charismatic, resigned from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2007 over the matter of speaking ecstatic gobbledegook nonsense. Recently, McKissic lashed out at former president of SWBTS, Paige Patterson, accusing him of “racism” when, in fact, he was celebrating the hire of the SBC’s first black president (but that’s what race-baiters do). Then McKissic accused FBC Naples of “racism” because they didn’t hire a woefully unqualified (and liberal) black man. He attacked Founders Ministries for “sowing discord” for speaking up against the Social Gospel.
McKissic claims that it’s possible to vote for Democrats and still be pro-life. Like the ERLC, McKissic redefines what it means to be “pro-life” to support his baby-murdering political party.
In defense of his choice to violate 2 John 1:10, Barber claimed that McKissic was “differently complementarian.”
This double-speak term is like saying that Karen Swallow Prior is “differently conservative.” McKissic believes that women should be performing pastoral functions, including preaching to men in the gathered assembly. He quibbles on the point of senior pastors (for now), which makes no matter of difference. He’s a functional egalitarian, not merely “differently complementarian.”
If you can’t see the doctrinal compromise in Bart Barber, you aren’t paying attention.
Bart Barber’s congregation, Farmersville First Baptist, is no doubt trusting of Barber, who has served them twenty years. Little do they know that their pastor is associated heavily with the most vehemently leftist, unbiblical, compromised change-agents in the Southern Baptist Convention. Little do they know that Barber is treating them like guinea pigs, slowly but surely putting them through leftist experimentation and, like the proverbial frog in a pot of boiling water, is changing his and their own beliefs so slowly and subtly they do not see it.
The Bible does not tell us to “dialogue” with rank heretics and God-haters but to mark them and avoid them Romans 16:17. To bring one into the assembly, as Barber did, is a dereliction of his duty as a shepherd of God’s flock.
It’s never good to introduce your congregation to a wolf in the guise of only hearing them out.
