The Democratic Party is weaponizing the security state and federal agencies against political opponents and those of us who dare to speak the truth and challenge their insane, radical agenda. These are characteristics of a dictatorship/banana republic—not a democracy. 🔗 Tulsi Gabbard https://t.me/police_frequency/88832

House Votes Down Resolution to Withdraw Troops from Syria The House on Wednesday (March 8) voted down a War Powers Resolution introduced by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) that would order President Biden to withdraw all US troops from Syria within 180 days. The resolution failed in a vote of 103-321, with 56 Democrats and 47 Republicans voting in favor of the bill. Click here (https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2023136) for the roll call to see how each representative voted. In a statement after the vote, Gaetz vowed to continue his effort to end US involvement in Syria. “There is no role for the United States of America in Syria. We are not a Middle Eastern power. We have tried to build a democracy out of sand, blood, and Arab militias. Time and again, the work we do does not reduce chaos. Oftentimes, it causes chaos – the very chaos that then subsequently leads to terrorism. While today’s vote may have failed, my fight to end forever wars and bring our troops home has only just begun,” he said. The resolution was led by Gaetz and cosponsored by four other Republicans, including Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), and Matt Rosendale (R-MT). It also received support from some progressive Democrats, including Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Ro Khanna (D-CA). The Congressional Progressive Caucus was circulating a message to its 100 members in the House to support the bill. But the vote shows that the majority of Congress still supports the US occupation of eastern Syria, where there are currently about 900 US troops deployed.

#3 @DavidSacks discusses how the Biden administration's Ukrainian policies are driving Russia, China, and India toward forming a new axis bloc: "We are pushing China and Russia together into a new axis block. This is very foolish. Even during the Cold War, we worked to keep Russia and China apart. And, whatever you think of those regimes today, they were much worse back then. Remember, the Soviets had a Stalinist regime, and the Chinese had Mao; those are two of the three biggest mass murders of the 20th century, and Nixon and Kissinger still went to China and shook Mao's hand and toasted him because it was important to keep China and the Soviet Union divided. And what are we doing today? We are basically pushing them together with all this condemnation and outrage. It is not a smart strategy. This is poisoning our relationship with India. India is the biggest democracy in the world, and our relations with them have gone south since this war because they have a friendship with Russia that goes back a long way." https://twitter.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/1629353359890325507

Myanmar junta pursues five-pronged strategy as conflict enters 3rd year Feb. 1 marked the second anniversary of the coup d'etat that ousted the democratically elected National League for Democracy government in Myanmar.

Former Brazilian President Bolsonaro reacts for the first time to the riots: "I oppose the invasions of public buildings as they occurred. Throughout my tenure I have always respected the law and defended our democracy, transparency and sacred freedom".

🇧🇷 - Tanks in Brazil's capital city. Democracy in Brazil seems to be on its death bed.

🇧🇷Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said that the protesters in his support, who attacked government buildings in the country's capital, violated the law. "Peaceful demonstrations in a legal form are part of democracy. However, the robberies and penetrations into public buildings that occurred today violate the established order," he wrote on his Twitter page.

Biden says he condemns the protests in Brazil as a 'violent challenge against democracy.' Apparently he only likes it when the CIA does it. Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) is calling for Brazil’s former president Jair Bolsonaro to be returned to Brazil to face charges. 🥴 The charges include plotting the coup with the Secretary of State for the Federal District, who recently visited Orlando, where Bolsonaro has been reportedly staying.
