Good morning. Keri Russell’s show, The Diplomat, is extremely—first of all, it’s a great show. It’s also extremely popular in Washington. I’m not going to tell you to go watch it, but I want to note something: in the show, there is someone who is going to be the Prime Minister of the UK.

And the Americans don’t like that person because they’re not a globalist—and the word “globalist” is explicitly used. How do we know this? Because when that disliked person doesn’t succeed and someone else does, they start cheering and go, “Yay! What’s so great? They’re a globalist!” Understand that the enemy of a constitutional republic is someone who represents the interests of a world—a world that is not truly comprised of its citizens, but of ruling elites who are faceless. You wouldn’t know who these people are, you would never be able to challenge them, and you would rarely—maybe rarely—be able to surface their deeds.

I bring this up because we have learned about Laura Loomer, someone I have admired for a long time for her principled stand for America against jihad. The Washington Post discovered evidence that, despite her denial, there are bank records showing she was paid to tweet, and her own statements are ambiguous. This has opened a window into the world of paid tweets, which succeeds the world of Operation Mockingbird, where the CIA explicitly sought to influence the media—a program that many wonder is still actually going on.

And so you have the citizen who is trying to stand up for the country, and that citizen is up against an ecosystem of paid influencers and shadowy foreign and domestic interests speaking words and influencing people. But the people never know where those words are coming from. Stand up.
