ecause you should ask yourself how will the school kids respond to naming my child Jack Cass? Do you think that will cause any problems? Now I only mentioned that because I grew up with somebody named Jack Cass. Yeah I mean he his born name was Jonathan but everybody called him Jack. So yeah don't do that. Never call your PAC Never Back Down if you think you might back down. All right surprise of…

ces. Wait you're saying you're saying that the news the DOJ the FBI all of them he's going after all of them. Do you see the pattern? Those doppelgangers are people who are noticing patterns. It just happens to be a trivial pattern it's not important you know somebody looks like somebody else but that raised consciousness that allows you to see patterns allows you to break out of the brainwashing because it's those patterns that are the key to the door. If you're in your little brainwash bubble there's actually a door and it's got a keyhole and the keyhole are the coincidences. Wait a minute if this is true then how could this other thing be true? Well if it were just one thing maybe you ignore it but wait a minute how but this other thing is true also. How does that make sense with this other thing? And then the coincidences start to form a pattern and then the pattern becomes a key and then the key goes in the lock and you escape your bubble. Farrakhan just found the keyhole. Now I'm not a Farrakhan fan so I'm not fanboying Farrakhan that's not happening. I'm just saying you're seeing an example of somebody who used pattern recognition as an escape and it worked.

Here's another pattern. Tucker Carlson talking about Assange Julian Assange and Julian Assange did a number of journalistic things that other people call him a spy I guess and the journalistic things were very embarrassing for our intel organizations and you the deep state basically and Hillary Clinton and apparently we have reporting that Mike Pompeo was talking about plans to murder Assange to murder him. So now you've got Democrats who want him dead Assange you've got a prominent Republican who was even running for president at one point who wanted him dead reportedly and it seems to me that Assange has embarrassed the deep state which might be a little bit both Republican and Democrat at its base. So the question is why why are so many people wanting to kill him or put him in jail forever when you and I aren't quite sure why it's been a long time. Shouldn't I be able to express the other argument as easily as I can express the you know the freedom? Why do I only know the argument of why he's a journalist and should be freed? Why am I not aware of the counterargument? Is that a coincidence? Don't see it anywhere.

Now I know the general argument that he revealed some stuff that would cause some people to get killed or something and I'd like to see that argument and if that's the case you know that's important but there's something about the lack of transparency and the fact that he's being treated the way he's treated that tells you that this is that everything about this is corrupt and wrong and should be stopped. I don't know what's wrong with it and I don't know what's corrupt but this isn't adding up. Sorry the pattern recognition is too clear. The pattern is if they had the real goods the stuff they could argue with the public was important and you would agree with it they would tell you. Yeah they would tell you. When somebody doesn't have an argument that they're willing to share with you it's because they don't have one. I mean I have trouble believing that there are secrets that are the real reason that we don't know what's going on so I don't trust our government at all on the Assange situation and therefore because citizens although not an American citizen citizens have the presumption of innocence so my presumption about Assange is innocent. And as you know one of the things that the bad guys do if they can't figure out a legal way to take you out is they come up with a fake sex charge. So you know Assange had this fake sex charge hanging over him some rape charge or something and do you know why it went away? Because there was never any evidence for it. It just went away. It just it was fake yeah. So everything that you think is the worst case scenario sort of like the representative Burchett was telling you about the blackmail if you imagine that they wouldn't cause a fake rape charge to take down an enemy you're not living in the real world because yeah they would yeah they would. Matt Gaetz perfect example. Yeah fake fake sex charges are a common way to take somebody down. So my take on Assange is I don't know if he did anything bad I don't know but the lack of transparency is so disgusting that I am firmly on the you better free him or basically put up or shut up right. My assumption is everybody's a dirty murderer who wants him to stay where he is. You're all dirty murderers. I don't trust anybody who wants him in jail if they won't tell you why. I'm open to the argument. I'm open to the argument. I can be persuaded that he should stay in jail but no argument strangely missing. Nope not buying it for a minute. He should be freed and I'm also curious why Trump didn't do it because you know there was pressure on Trump to do it so there's more to the story because the fact that you can't get a Republican or a Democrat to do it and yet we don't know what's going on this thing's all corrupt and dirty.

Well outgoing Louisiana governor Edwards according to the amuse account on X has decided to pardon 40 murderers. What that can't be possible. I know for sure nobody would pardon 40 murderers that'd be crazy right? No it says he pardon

ed 40 murderers. Now as amuse asks what possible reason what's the reason for that? Now I do know that when politicians are leaving office and retiring it's not that unusual to pardon a bunch of people that maybe you think shouldn't be pardoned but murderers 40 murderers. You what it makes me wonder if they were since it was Louisiana I wonder if they were falsely accused. Do you think it's like 4…
