How To Bribe The Supreme Court
The sole purpose of the media’s sudden fixation on the Supreme Court’s “ethics” is to morally intimidate conservative justices by reminding them that the left controls the culture. Since they lost abortion, liberals have been in a panic that the court will junk other liberal sacraments, like gay marriage and affirmative action, too. That’s the reason for the stream of calumnies directed at the justices.
As usual, the main target of the left’s rage is Thomas. We’re supposed to be appalled that Thomas’ billionaire friend Harlan Crow took the justice and his wife on a vacation that (the media claim) would have cost Thomas more than $500,000!!!
Well, yeah, but Thomas and his wife, Ginny, weren’t going alone. They hadn’t just won a cruise sweepstakes. They were joining Crow on a vacation he was taking anyway. Cost to donor: a few extra chicken cutlets and string beans.
Crow sounds like a great guy, but when you’re going on vacation with a benefactor, it isn’t like he’s handing you an expensive bauble. You are the expensive bauble.
We went on a cruise on my private yacht in Indonesia and served Jeroboam of Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1945.[Meh.]
We went on a cruise on my private yacht in Indonesia and Justice Clarence Thomas was our guest. WINNER!!!!
Cui bono? Everybody!
The media want us to believe that generosity from personal friends is an ethical issue, but that’s because that’s not how liberals bribe government officials. They bombard their targets with the sort of public adoration that money can’t buy — or the sort of public hate that money can’t block. Your choice: Be beloved from every corner of society or be subjected to nonstop ridicule.
Adored: Anthony Fauci, BLM, Michelle Obama, Trevor Noah, transgenders, Ukraine, black people, pot, Elon Musk (pre-Twitter), Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Hated: Ron DeSantis, the Proud Boys, Melania Trump, Dave Chappelle, Christians, Russia, white people, cigarettes, Elon Musk (post-Twitter), Clarence Thomas.
Thus, during her quarter-century on the court, Ginsburg was showered with alms from the media, Hollywood, universities, television, publishing, the music industry, museums, clothing manufacturers, the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Post Office and an array of nonprofits.
It’s a miracle she ever had time to write opinions with the constant procession of awards, retrospectives, portraits and honors — the Berggruen Prize for Philosophy and Culture; the LBJ Foundation’s Liberty & Justice for All Award; the World Peace & Liberty Award; a lifetime achievement award from Diane von Furstenberg’s foundation; the 2020 Liberty Medal by the National Constitution Center; and the World Peace & Liberty Award from the World Jurist Association and the World Law Foundation.
I would wager that most people would prefer ceaseless public praise to a cruise, no matter how nice the yacht.
The U.S. Postal Service produced an RBG “Forever” stamp; the U.S. Navy named an oiler the “Ruth Bader Ginsburg”; Los Angeles’ Skirball Cultural Center put on a large-scale exhibition on her life; the Cleveland Museum of Natural History named a species of praying mantis after her; she was slobberingly interviewed by Stephen Colbert; a Sam Adams beer was named in her honor; and she received honorary degrees from literally dozens upon dozens of universities.
It’s curious that the very cultural institutions bestowing all these goodies on liberals don’t see them as “gifts” at all. There are no somber invocations of “ethics” when the Sundance Film Festival features a North Korean-style documentary about Ginsburg. Nor when The New York Times gushes that Ginsburg was “a trailblazing feminist … [continuing] to point the way toward greater equality … she never wavered in her commitment to the court as a vehicle for a more just and more equal America. She was a dogged, tireless fighter … [gag, gag, gag].”
Try to imagine that string of accolades being given to Thomas, much less the Tiger Beat worship — the coloring books, documentaries, bobbleheads, and so on.
It’s inconceivable. In fact, the “honors and recognition” section on Thomas’ Wikipedia page contains a single item: “In 2012, Thomas received an honorary degree from the College of the Holy Cross, his alma mater.”
The only reward a conservative titan like Thomas will receive in this lifetime will be his friends spending their own money to enjoy his company. So the media have decided that’s a conflict of interest. Fawning media coverage worth millions of dollars: not a conflict of interest.
Let’s compare!
Value of private supporters’ gifts to Justice Thomas over the years: Maybe a few million dollars — and that’s according to liberals, although the donor was going on these vacations with or without Thomas, so the cost to him was minimal.
Value of liberal institutions’ gifts to Justice Ginsburg over the years: approximately $3 trillion.
It’s been a long time coming, but we finally have a Supreme Court that isn’t dying to impose faddish liberal ideas on the country by claiming to discover never-before-seen constitutional rights. If anything, the Dobbs opinion should have calmed lefties. Abortion is no longer a “constitutional right,” so now it’s up to the states. And guess what, liberals? Americans are voting to allow abortion!
But Democrats are mostly neurotic women, so “calm” is not their middle name.
Contrary to the left’s self-advertisements as huge fans of democracy — Democracy Dies in Darkness! — the last thing they want is people voting on their crazy ideas. That’s why they’ve got to discredit the current court.
If all goes according to plan, Trump will lose another election for the GOP next year, handing Democrats super-majorities in Congress, whereupon they will pack the court. Finally, liberals will have their magical Supreme Court back! How much is that penumbra worth to you, New York Times?

Mega-donations for influence? This US investor pays Habeck’s climate network.
How independently do the most important advisors to Economics Minister Robert Habeck (53, Greens) act in climate policy?
The sleaze and amigo affair in Habeck’s ministry. So far, the focus has been on Habeck’s State Secretary Patrick Graichen (51), who can draw on a network of family and friends in the ministry and at the most important climate organizations. And who has just tried to get his best man a high-paying job.
But a second question is being asked louder and louder in Berlin’s political establishment: Who is actually behind Graichen & Co.
Above all one: US investor Hal Harvey (62). He has almost infinite means at his disposal and has thus created a green network from the USA also in Germany. For the “Zeit” newspaper, HE is even the “most powerful Green in the world”.
He is considered in the scene as a climate activist of the first hour. As a clean man with the best manners. He grew up in the posh ski resort of Aspen (Colorado). Son of a farmer and ski instructor (5 siblings). As early as the 1980s, he claims to have recognized oil as a fundamental evil – not only for the climate, but also for global peace.
Harvey studied physics and energy technology. He likes to tell how he screwed an electric motor into his Ford Escort as early as 1992. On the roof: solar cells. As early as the 1990s, he wanted to convince Americans to save energy with the help of a foundation. One man, one mission: In 2001, he founded his first climate protection organization.
A year later, he became the Scrooge McDuck of the climate movement: He convinces the foundation of IT giant Hewlett-Packard to fund his mission. When he founded his internationally oriented “Climate Work Foundation,” the billionaire foundation entrusted him with 500 million U.S. dollars.
Money that also flows to Europe – especially to Germany. Harvey, who is worth millions, helps to found “Agora Energy Change,” the think tank where Habeck’s State Secretary Graichen will later make a career for himself. The influential “Climate Neutrality Foundation” is also founded with Harvey’s climate dollar. Its partner is the Mercator Foundation of the heirs of the German Metro Group.
Thus, by 2020 at the latest, a green lobby giant will emerge. The Greens are still in opposition, but are already working with climate lobbyists on plans for Germany’s major energy transition. In December 2021, the traffic light government takes over, and the Greens are suddenly at the levers of power.
And this is a dream come true for the lobbyists. Bernhard Lorentz, a foundation manager from Berlin, explained his concept to Die Zeit as follows: First, produce studies, then translate them into policy. And then: place employees of the think tanks “best in the ministry”.
The dream-fulfiller: Robert Habeck (53, Greens). Federal Minister for the Economy and Climate Protection of the Federal Republic of Germany. Habeck makes lobbyist Graichen state secretary. Suddenly, the plans from Graichen’s briefcase have an impact on the lives of 80 million Germans. Lobbying becomes realpolitik. Graichen becomes Mr. Heat Pump. The boundaries between the energy transition lobby and politics are finally dissolved.
Harvey is one step further, promoting the next top lobbyist: Rainer Baake (67, Greens), once Environment State Secretary under Jürgen “the can deposit” Trittin (Greens) and Economics State Secretary under Sigmar Gabriel (SPD). Baake will be the new director of the “Climate Neutrality Foundation.” Harvey is vice chairman there, the head of the foundation’s advisory board is Bernhardt Lorentz. He moved to consulting giant Deloitte in 2022. Conveniently, Deloitte has just received an order from Habeck-Graichen (volume: 349,000 euros) – the first order of its kind for Deloitte, according to the ministry.
More and more droning therefore the question: How independent is Habeck’s climate policy? How much influence does U.S. donor Harvey, who has also co-financed the highly controversial Deutsche Umwelthilfe, among others, have on our energy transition?
BILD asked Agora Energy Change: How much money has flowed from Harvey’s organizations in recent years? A spokeswoman confirmed grants from, among others, the European Climate Foundation (ECF) and Harvey’s “Climate Imperative Foundation” between 2019 and 2022.
In 2022 alone, nearly 1.6 million euros flowed from the European Climate Foundation via the company “Smart Energy for Europe Platform (SEFEP) gGmbH,” sponsor of “Agora Energiewende,” “Agora Industrie” and “Agora Agrar.” Another 5.9 million euros came from Harvey’s Climate Imperative Foundation. That makes 7.5 million euros – 83 percent more than in the previous year.

Americans are brainwashed into thinking sitting on the couch consuming mainstream media and then voting for the politician they keep flashing before your eyes is the only way to change things.
Abortion is a political tool that the parasitic leaders will never get rid of in order to control votes. I think I am the only one that noticed that the abortion laws were changed during an election cycle. Many who would have voted more conservative do to inflation and high gas prices were swayed back into voting for the Biden administration because of the cultural hold on America’s youth most of whom have been brainwashed through education and media to be pro-abortion. The only way to make abortion illegal is to control culture. Which means homeschooling or sending children to uncorrupted private schools. Also, getting control of media and creating laws against pro-abortion concepts within entertainment. It is very important to filter all media your children consume. It is easier to vote than to have serious conversations with your children and grandchildren. But ultimately changing the heart of the next generation is the only way we will see true lasting change as a Nation. Otherwise, abortion issues will be used by our parasitic leaders like a ball in a tennis game. Back and forth with no true movement forward.
