Berkeley As A Breeding Program, California As A Culling Program
This isn't so much an election so much as it is a culling.
Now I want to be clear that I actually like Fox News host Jesse Watters’s mother Anne Purvis quite a bit.
Ms. Purvis comes from what we might once have called “good stock.” Her father was publisher of Better Homes and Gardens which is an altogether wholesome magazine that my grandmother subscribed to. Watters’s paternal grandfather was a cardiologist for the Veterans Administration. Noble work. There was even a time when Watters was reading this Substack. Watters reportedly listened to Rep. Matt Gaetz who called it an intellectual “rummage sale.” If Jesse does still read it I hope he takes me seriously when I say that I’m pulling for him even if he has an impossible job.
Jesse’s mom wants to rescue her son from foolish ideas and in this endeavor she has my total support not least of which because Jesse has one of the programs that my father watches night after night. Alas I suspect she knows that her son has a drug problem and that he, like a number of other Fox hosts, works off his debts by carrying the water of some rather silly, crazy and altogether dangerous ideas. There are a lot of fail sons who populate the media and you should probably think of Jesse Watters replacing Tucker Carlson as more of the same. At least he’s not the Irish face of the Atlanta Jewish mob like Sean Hannity.
For a long while now Fox has been unmanageable — the inmates running the asylum. To be sure there are a few people who are capable but they are few and far between and it seems as if the Murdoch family drama will lead to the collapse of Fox altogether.
The thing that happened at Fox was the loss of Roger Ailes, who I once knew and who I liked notwithstanding the crazy stuff that Fox was getting into back in his day. I’ve never really believed the stories about Ailes having lots of sex with the beautiful women who work at Fox. Every hemophiliac I have ever known tends to shy away from physical activity lest they get hurt. They tend to pair bond with one person and it’s the two of them against the world. So it was with Roger and his lovely wife Beth.
Anyway I demurred on taking a job working at Fox News — they wanted me to revamp the website whatever that means — when I graduated college. I also turned down something more permanent at the Wall Street Journal. I didn’t want to work for Paul Gigot, who I suspected was a closet case, or for Bret Stephens and Bari Weiss, who I saw harboring dual loyalties and extreme vanity. Still, they were my bosses and I did my best while grinding my teeth. I felt totally unqualified to write for The New York Post. I am not a New Yorker. Who would want to make it in New York anyway? For me it was always California and West though I didn’t really know it at the time.
Anyway sometime ago Watters did something stupid and called the place of Kamala Harris’s birth the “People’s Republic of Berkeley.”
When you go back in time you have to think about what was going on around Oakland and Berkeley during the time that Kamala Harris came up in the world. Harris was born October 20, 1964 which is a very important year in Californian politics. It was the year that gave us Ronald Reagan and his “Time For Choosing” speech and of course there was Goldwater.
My uncle, who was later compromised in Latin America by the Nazi network (and thus gave me entree to infiltrate it), and his Jack Mormon best friend attended the Republican Convention in Daly City in July of that year.
Reagan — the last Californian to emerge as president — was an actor, raising all kinds of questions of whether or not all politicians on some level are just really good actors. When I wrote Matt Gaetz’s book I included the line that all statecraft is stagecraft.
It shouldn’t be lost on you that Gaetz grew up in the home where the movie The Truman Show was shot.
The question for most actors is who is the scriptwriter. You can think of Reagan’s patron Henry J. Salvatori as the scriptwriter.
For what it’s worth I was a fellow at the Henry Salvatori Center at Claremont McKenna College where I graduated in 2011. It was there that I met Peter Thiel, Harold Rood and of course Harry Jaffa who I studied under quite closely. Claremont’s Athenaeum was extremely important as the sort of place where everyone came and where I could ask questions of pretty anyone who showed up.
Reagan was also, like me and Donald J. Trump, an FBI informant. Also like me, Reagan worked with the Los Angeles field office. You might well ask if the FBI has always been penetrated by the Deseret Mormons and the Russians and what all that really means. The subject has come up in at least one lawsuit over the FBI’s Los Angeles office which complained about a “Mormon Mafia.” You might wonder, as I do, how often the Mormons in the FBI enslave confidential human sources to serve their own private bidding.
I may discuss that at a later date but if you’re into that sort of thing you should read Subversives: The FBI’s War On Student Radicals and Reagan’s Rise to Power. Its author Seth Rosenfeld convincingly argues that Reagan’s relationship with J. Edgar Hoover helped Reagan become governor and later President. In particular Reagan and Hoover were obsessed about the student movement on America’s campuses. Hoover was at the height of his power in the 1960s and of course Hoover had all kinds of connections to the Confederacy, especially his involvement with the Alpha Nu Chapter of the Kappa Alpha Order, a Southern fraternity that was born out of a desire to “carry on the legacy of the 'incomparable flower of Southern Knighthood” after the end of the Civil War. Strange stuff indeed!
Reagan’s attack on the University of California at Berkeley should be understood as trying to stop the anti-war movement — a war that the compromised players in the American deep state’s military industrial complex desperately wanted to keep going ad infinitum largely to enrich themselves in costly, quixotic wars. Reagan’s Jewish mob supporters liked the explosion of the student loan industry.
My own grandfather later fought with Reagan on a number of subjects and he represented different possibilities for California than Reagan wanted. My grandfather favored a national service though not the Vietnam War. Reagan opposed implementing a draft. My grandfather also opposed American football damaging the young and the Coronado Bridge.
For his views my grandfather was targeted by the Deseret world and sent my father into exile in New England to keep him safe. The Mormons have a tendency to enslave people.
There’s a legend about the 1964 election that it ushered in an era of insanity on the American right. This is the argument that John Ganz makes in his book, When the Clock Broke: Con Men, Conspiracists, and How America Cracked Up in the Early, but it’s not strictly true and I think it actually hides how brilliant the team was that was around Ronald Reagan and what they were really about. They weren’t crazy but visionary.
On the contrary Salvatori wanted to use California’s tremendous resources and effectively take over American politics. He wanted to harness Reagan’s star power, a power which the Illinois farm boy had long cultivated giving speeches all throughout the country. Where did this capacity for imagination come from? It came from Reagan creating alternates worlds in his mind to escape his suffering at the hands of an alcoholic and abusive father.
But most of all Salvatori wanted an alliance with Illinois and with the FBI, both of which Reagan offered. There was always this lurking specter of whether or not Salvatori was himself some sort to patriotic Italian-American mobster.
The Los Angels Times obit is a fascinating read:
Salvatori was born in Rome on March 28, 1901. He came to the United States as a child and grew up in New Jersey, where his father was a wholesale grocer.
Educated at Pennsylvania and Columbia universities, he became an expert in the science of prospecting for oil by seismic methods. By the late 1950s, his company was the world’s largest offshore seismic contractor.
But it was as a political advisor, campaign director and big contributor that Salvatori became best known. San Francisco Mayor Joseph Alioto, in fact, once charged that Salvatori, not Reagan, was the real governor of California, through all the money he raised for Reagan and the influence he wielded.
Was Salvatori the real governor of California? Beats me but he sure took care of California.
Besides their political contributions, they gave major gifts to USC, Stanford University, Caltech, Pepperdine University, Claremont McKenna College, the University of Pennsylvania, Howard University and the Marlborough School in Los Angeles, among others. Schools are named after Salvatori at USC and Stanford. The Salvatoris also contributed greatly to hospitals, children’s clubs, civic groups and the arts.
Howard, you say? Isn’t that Kamala Harris’s alma mater? Indeed it is. It’s at Howard that Harris became Black but it’s to Berkeley that she owns her existence.
Her Tamil mother and her Jamaican father made one hell of a Californian. You’re not supposed to talk about how Berkeley itself is part of a breeding program — taking the best from all over the world and making it serve the interests of California. My ex wife is an alumna and to be sure it’s an impressive place that presses the best of California and indeed all of the world into its warm embrace.
Harris represents something special. She is Californian by birth but not by blood. Salvatori was a California by choice and by design. Like the Pelosis who arguably replaced Salvatori as a major player Salvatori was in charge of all manner of operations — and he was often depicted as a kind of mafia figure who presided over California and later American politics.
Salvatori always was proud of his role. “The Eastern press in particular always describes me by implication at least as if I’m secret, or sinister, perhaps, a mysterious guy in the background,” he once said. “This isn’t so.”
Of course someone who was operating in the background would say that!
Instead, he was assertive, in private as well as public.
Probably the most famous example of Salvatori’s self-confidence and general assertiveness was his attempt, on Feb. 25, 1976, when he was 75, to personally fight off two young masked gunmen who invaded his home and carried off $450,000 in silverware and other loot.
At one point, he pulled a pistol on the pair but was quickly disarmed. He suffered a 2 1/2-inch cut on his right leg in a scuffle with the gunmen, who finally left him and his wife bound hand and foot in an upstairs bedroom. The injury later required an operation.
“There wouldn’t have been any violence if I didn’t react,” a calm and unruffled Salvatori told reporters a few hours later. He said the two burglars seemed surprised when he grabbed for his weapon in a night stand and quoted one of them as saying, “Can you imagine this guy pulling a gun on us?”
Police said Salvatori was lucky he was not shot. Much of what was stolen was later recovered, and the two burglars were convicted and sentenced to prison.
Doesn’t this story remind you of what happened to Paul Pelosi?
I’ve come to see the desire by the Salvatori machine to drive down the price of oil as a necessary condition of breaking the Soviet Union and the Arab countries stranglehold on economic growth. It absolutely worked.
The price of oil in 1981 peaked at $151 a barrel before reaching a low of $30 in 1986. This macroeconomic reality, along with the drug cash careening into Wall Street, materially transformed the United States.
Salvatori was at the center of this strategy. Salvatori crippled the Texas mob which had bested him throughout his career. You can think of the Savings and Loan crisis as a kind of Salvatori attack on the Texas world he nearly joined and that attack, once completed, gave George H. W. Bush his opening to take over Texas.
Salvatori’s company was sold to Colonel Tex Thornton who built it into a massive defense company after his time at Ford Motor Company and Hughes Aircraft. You might wonder, as I do, how Mormon Tex Thornton really was given that Hughes connection. We will delve into Hughes later — it’s time — but not quite yet. For now it suffices merely to note the connections between Texas and Deseret.
The existence of Thornton ought to make us wonder:
What if there’s a secret group of Mormons, both practicing and secret, who are infiltrating American technology companies on behalf of foreign governments?
Such a group would be interested in genetics technology, satellites, facial recognition and even drone technology.
Right Hal Lambert?
Alas the rise of all that Salvatori oil spewing out into the air has made parts of California ugly and you can see the latest attempts of California Attorney General Rob Bonta to sue over plastics as an attack by California against Deseret.
You should understand my return to California as joining the fight.

You can think of the election of Harris as an opportunity to roll back a lot of the excesses of the Reagan years.
Which brings me to the Black Panthers, a militant group which Reagan really didn’t like all that much.
What’s rather curious about Berkeley in this time frame is that occasioned the beginnings of Huey Newton and the Black Panthers.
There were undoubtedly reasons to be supportive of black Nationalism not least of which was the threat that Black Americans faced from the police and the government and yet Harris and her parents have rejected this sort of politics. She’s proudly a cop. We should ask why. Maybe she was tired of this kind of instability. Doesn’t this make you nervous?
I first learned of the Black Panthers when I read David Horowitz’s book, Radical Son. Horowitz was quite close to them and he seemingly delighted in these separatists — that is, until his friend was killed.
Intriguingly Horowitz’s son Ben did a U-Turn on supporting Donald Trump and now supports Kamala Harris. One wonders if he’s setting up his business partner Marc Andreessen to take the fall.
I don’t share my friend Divded and Conquered view of the African American Descendants of Slavery having a registered. Instead we should be doing what we can to encourage the kind of mixing that made Kamala in the first place. The segregationists argued that race mixing is communism but it’s as American as apple pie. It’s arguably what helps us turn people from all over the world into Americans. It might even be how other countries pacify their own problems.
Beyoncé, whose husband J.Z. is obviously some sort of a Fed, endorsed Harris. Her lyrics speak for themselves: My daddy Alabama, momma Louisiana // You mix that negro with that Creole, make a Texas bama. Here she is with Kamala Harris — a Tamil-Jamaican born in Berkeley.
Ah yes, two American ladies rescuing the country…
Did you catch the accent on Beyoncé? That’s a tell of how French-American we’re about to get.
America’s going to be a mélange as it strives for unity.
The South did have a breeding program between White slave holding men and Black women.
The vast majority of the native Black population has European admixture and they’re lighter than their immigrant counterparts due to sexual violence during slavery. Race mixing has a different and more sinister connotation for Black Americans than it does for African immigrants. It’s also why Black men are more likely to marry outside their race than Black women. Slavery changed their genetics.

Looking forward to your first post when Trump wins.
