The Democrats Trying to Destroy the Supreme Court – AGAIN!


Armstrong Economics Blog/Uncategorized Re-Posted Aug 6, 2023 by Martin Armstron

The Democrats sent a letter demanding Alito recuse himself on any such question regarding the power of the Supreme Court. Once again, just as FDR tried to stack the court to turn the United States into his vision of a Marxist Utopia following Stalin after he recognized the Communists as a legitimate government, they are at it again. They are out to utterly destroy the freedom of the United States and are attempting to regulate the Supreme Court to only rule in their favor. This is all part of 2032 where our nation is so divided, it will no longer be able to stand as one nation.

The Democrats are beside themselves after Justice Alito told the Wall Street Journal that Congress lacks the authority to regulate the Court. He expressly stated:

“Congress did not create the Supreme Court,” Alito said. “I know this is a controversial view, but I’m willing to say it.

No provision in the Constitution gives them the authority to regulate the Supreme Court – period.”

Justice Alito is correct – there is ABSOLUTELY no power in the Constitution that would allow these extremist Democrats to regulate how the Supreme Court decides anything. “It just can’t be that the court is the only institution that somehow is not subject to checks and balances from anybody else. We’re not imperial,” Justice Kagan told the conference in remarks first reported by Politico“Can Congress do various things to regulate the Supreme Court? I think the answer is: yes.” Not only is she unquestionably wrong, but she was also the 45th Solicitor  General of the United States who represents the government. She was there when my case got to the Supreme Court. When the Supreme Court ordered the government to reply, she obviously had no basis to justify my false imprisonment. To be accurate, the fantasy they used was Braswell v. United States, 487 U.S. 99 (1988), which held that corporations do not have constitutional rights, so I was thrown in contempt NOT as an individual, but as a corporate officer. Kagan was afraid that my case would have overturned the law, so she ordered them to release me and then told the Supreme Court my case was MOOT since I was released.

Kagan never saw the power of the government has ever been a problem and now wants to advocate that Congress can use politics to change the Constitution. Under strict construction, the Constitution has no authority to downgrade the Supreme Court even as a discretionary court. The framers of the Constitution only created the Supreme Court. There cannot be any such power to diminish the Supreme Court by Congress. This is a violation of the Separation of Powers that she is advocating the Congress as an imperial dictatorial power.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL ON ITS FACE

Montesquieu-3

Even the Judiciary Act of 1925 held that the Supreme Court would have the discretion to select what it wants to hear in direct violation of the Constitution, which has NEVER been addressed. The Constitution ONLY established the Supreme Court as part of a tripartite government and the separation of powers as laid out as essential to constrain tyranny by Montesquieu, who was also the inspiration for the Second Amendment, which was to keep citizens armed rather than maintain standing armies to prevent war.

As such, the lower courts were created ONLY by statute under Congress and could just as easily be shut down. The only court required by the Constitution is the Supreme Court, and every Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States is required to take two oaths before they may execute the duties of their appointed office –

(1) the Constitutional Oath to defend it and

(2) the Judicial Oath.

Therefore, anyone can see on its face that the Judiciary Act of 1925 is unconstitutional, for it violates their oath to defend the constitution when they have the discretion not to hear cases. Previously, the Supreme Court ruled and ignored this time when it defined “discretion” by saying, “the term ‘discretion’ denotes the absence of a hard and fast rule.” Langnes v Green, 282 US 531, 541 (1931). This means that those in power do not have to obey any law, even the Constitution. The Supreme Court also said, “it is obvious that discretion does not exist where there is no power to act except in one way.” Jones v SEC, 298 US 1, 18 (1936). When judges and politicians claim discretion, they claim to be ABOVE the law of men.

“[I]t is a Constitution we are expounding.” M’Culloch v Maryland, 17 US 326 (1819). “The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land and binds every forum whether it derives its authority from a state of from the United States.” Cook v Moffat 46 US 295 (1847). The Supreme Court held that 28 USC §455 statute government recusal of judges was intended “to provide public confidence in the integrity of the judicial process.” Liljeberg v Health Serv v Corp, 486 US 847, 859-860 (1988). That lofty goal cannot be upheld as long as judges in inferior courts know that the odds of ever being overturned by the Supreme Court are on par with winning the lottery.

The Supreme Court has NO DISCRETION whatsoever to deny any petition – PERIOD!

& Congress has NO POWER to interfere in the Judicial Process under the Separation of Powers

Congress has abused its power by refusing to expand the court to cope with the nation’s size and instead directing that it should be discretionary, which is NOT in Article III authority of Congress. The Supreme Court, under the Separation of Powers and under its Inherent Supervisory Power, cannot be now diminished by these LEFTIST Democrats seeking once again to overthrow the Constitution in pursuit of their Marxist Authoritarian views for the future. The Supreme Court relies on inherent power to shield the exercise of judicial authority from legislative interference. I would argue that the scope of this inherent power was best described in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Eash v. Riggins Trucking Inc. characterized these cases as relying on the use of an “irreducible inherent authority . . . involving activity so fundamental to the essence of a court as a constitutional tribunal that to divest the court of absolute command within this sphere is really to render practically meaningless the terms ‘court’ and ‘judicial power.’”

IF THE CONGRESS CAN REGULATE THE SUPREME COURT, THEN THIS IS TRULY THE END OF THE RULE OF LAW & THE UNITED STATES!

Montesquieu set forth the Separation of Powers to prevent Tyranny. That was the entire intent behind Article III. No clause in the Constitution even states that Congress has any such authority to regulate the Supreme Court. We have already witnessed a coup with the Neocons pushing for war when only the Separation of Powers dictates that EXCLUSIVELY the people are to have the authority to Declare War – the Executive Branch, which they have seized control of. These people fund covert actions to overthrow leaders, provide arms to Ukraine to start a war with Russia deliberately, and then when they retaliate; we claim we have been attacked.

The Neocons used 911 to invade Iraq, which had nothing to do with 911 on the fake claims that they had weapons of mass destruction. Every single war has been launched on fake news. The neocon Robert McNamara (1916 – 2009) who took us into Vietnam cost over 50,000 American lives, and millions of dead Vietnamese needed to clear his conscious before he died. Even Pearl Harbor was provoked by Roosevelt, who could not get Congress to Declare War to enter Europe. The US had broken the code of the Japanese and knew what they were doing. Roosevelt seized all their assets in America, cut off their purchases of energy from the USA, and threatened to blockade them to prevent them from buying fuel from any other country. Hence, the United States did NOT suffer a strategic loss at Pearl Harbor since, conveniently, all the American aircraft carriers, which the Japanese intended to target, were at sea. The ships destroyed were all the old ones from WWI. The outcry against Roosevelt was so strong the Senate had to convene an investigation and claimed it was inconclusive if Roosevelt knew in advance.

It gives me no pleasure to even report that the Computer has our days numbered. This abuse is outrageous, and this latest trick to overthrow the Supreme Court will terminate the rule of law in the United States. It was the Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 US 393 (1857) decision that held that he was not a citizen of the United States and therefore had no right to sue in federal court. This holding was so off the wall and contrary to the whole concept of Territorial Jurisdiction that this became the catalyst for Civil War. It was the Democrats back then who were the slave owners and pushed their views upon the North and undermined the religious beliefs and even the Declaration of Independence, where Thomas Jefferson wrote that ALL men were equal.

Without the Rule of Law and fair, independent courts, then NO country can survive. The oppressed have no other choice BUT TO resort to violence. That is precisely what our computer is projecting post-2025. The Democrats are once again trying to control the Supreme Court. They never learn. When Roosevelt tried to pack the Supreme Court with Marxists, the Chicago Tribune in 1937 called it a threat to Democracy. It is precisely 86 years (10 * 8.6), and once again, the Democrats are seeking to destroy our way of life and end the Separation of Powers. They dared to criminally charge Trump when Biden & his family engaged in Treason, and now they are attempting to overthrow the Separation of Powers by regulating the Supreme Court. That demonstrates they have ZERO respect for the Constitution.

In building a database to forecast the world economy, history has been the key to opening up the mystery behind the Rise and Fall of Nations. The Rule of Law is the cornerstone of any civilization. If there is no Rule of Law, there cannot be any form of a functioning society. From ancient times, the monarch’s role was that he was the judge who presided over the disputes between the people. That is perhaps best illustrated by the Biblical Story of King Solomon deciding who the real mother was of the child.

Gibbon-5

Edward Gibbon, in his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, noted how the Rule of Law collapsed. Once the law only protects the government, as the LEFT is seeking once again, then the end of any nation will not be far behind. The LEFT is demanding that they can regulate the Supreme Court to rule only in its favor. There will go not just our right to Free Speech already under assault, but all our human and civil rights will vanish. The Rule of Law is so essential because otherwise, not even your home will have any value if there is no impartial court to decide who has the title, just as King Solomon did decide the rightful mother of the child.

You cannot protect your civil rights, free speech, or your property without an agreed-upon Rule of Law. As an international hedge fund manager, the first FIRST decision you must make before even looking at an investment is what we call – COUNTRY RISK. This is all about the Rule of Law. Will they simply nationalize assets? Any state that engages in that sort of action MUST be avoided.

Edward Gibbon wrote of the crisis in the Roman Empire under the reign of Commodus (180-192AD):

“distinction of every kind soon became criminal. The possession of wealth stimulated the diligence of the informers; rigid virtue implied a tacit censure of the irregularities of Commodus; important services implied a dangerous superiority of merit; and the friendship of the father always insured the aversion of the son. Suspicion was equivalent to proof; trial to condemnation. The execution of a considerable senator was attended with the death of all who might lament or revenge his fate; and when Commodus had once tasted human blood, he became incapable of pity or remorse”

(Book 1, Chapter 4).

The Supreme Court held that the Constitution is negative, meaning it is a restraint upon government, in Harris v. McRae, 448 U.S. 297 (1980). That means without any clues expressly giving Congress any right to regulate the Supreme Court is an attempt to constructively amend the Constitution with interpretation.  The Supreme Court has no Constitutional right or permission to exercise even “discretion” to hear a case. They must hear every case presented to them, for that is dictated by the Constitution and cannot be circumvented by a statute written by Congress or by its own rule-making practice.

The Supreme Court receives approximately 7,000-8,000 petitions for a writ of certiorari each term (year). The court grants and hears oral arguments in about 80 cases annually in a country of over 300 million. That is outrageous, and this practice denies the people the constitutional guarantee of a tripartite government (3 branches), with each branch acting as a check and balance against the others. Let’s review what the government structure crafted by the Founding Fathers created.

Marshall John Chief Justice - 1

Chief Justice Marshall was held in the landmark case Marbury v Madison, 5 US 137 (1 Cranch) (1803), where he declared the role of the Judiciary branch. “It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is.” When the nation began, the Supreme Court justices rode on “circuits.” Each justice heard cases in their assigned circuits around the country for there were no circuit courts with federal judges. Article III, Section I of the Constitution expressly states: “The judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.” The Constitution guaranteed the Supreme Court. It gave the option to Congress to create inferior federal courts around the country, but this was by no means mandatory. The implications of this are quite profound, for it means that Congress can close all the federal inferior district and appellate courts, but it cannot close the Supreme Court. The tripartite structure of government requires the Supreme Court – not inferior courts. Justice Reynolds explained this succinctly:

“The accepted doctrine is that the lower federal courts were created by the acts of Congress and their powers and duties depend upon the acts which called them into existence, or subsequent ones which extend or limit.”

Gillis v California, 293 US 52, 66 (1934)

Your constitutional right to the Separation of Power, which DEMANDS an independent Supreme Court, will be forever DENIED under this latest coup by the Democrats. There can be no guarantee of EQUAL PROTECTION OF THE LAW when these circuit courts are free to do as they like and Congress alters the rules so they always win. The media never writes about this and does not find it strange that we have no unified rule of law in the United States because of the discretion of the Supreme Court, which allows all the circuits to do as they please.

Chief Justice Marshall also held in 1821 a very important decision holding:

“If the constitution does not confer on the court, or on the federal judiciary, the power sought to be exercised, it is in vain that the act of Congress purports to confer it…” 

Cohen v Virgina, 19 US 264 (6 Wheat) (1821) id/324

Congress reduced the power of the Supreme Court by eliminating the constitutional status of the court by enabling them to decide to hear cases at their “discretion,” but that is totally unconstitutional, for no statute can amend the Constitution. Any statute or rule created by Congress cannot circumvent the Constitution – PERIOD!

In Marbury v Madison, Chief Justice Marshall also stated bluntly: “The very essence of civil liberty certainly consists in the right of every individual to claim the protection of the laws.” (id/ 5 US at 163). Chief Justice Earl Warren stated in 1967: “It is a judge’s duty to decide all cases within his jurisdiction that are brought before him, including controversial cases that arouse the most intense feelings in the litigants.” (Pierson v Ray, 386 US 547, 554 1967). None of this has any force of law unless the Supreme Court is returned to its constitutional role and mandates the right to be heard.

Taft William

Previously, the Judiciary Act of 1891 created the United States Courts of Appeals and rendered a small part of the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction “discretionary” and subject to the grant of a writ of certiorari. This began the process of reducing the workload of the Supreme Court, yet it remained obliged to rule. In December 1921, Chief Justice William Howard Taft appointed three justices to draw up a proposal to reduce the obligation of the Supreme Court further to hear cases. This became the Judiciary Act of 1925.

The Judiciary Act of 1925 was clearly unconstitutional since Congress could not reduce the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. Yet, William Howard Taft (1857 – 1930) served as the 27th President of the United States (1909–1913) and then became the 10th Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court (1921–1930). It was Chief Justice Taft who lobbied with Congress to reduce the role of the Supreme Court. This is up there with Goldman Sachs sending in Robert Rubin as Secretary of Treasury to eliminate Glass-Steagall, which was enacted because Goldman Sachs lost more money than any public trust during the Great Depression. The Supreme Court has never ruled on the constitutionality of the Judiciary Act of 1925.

franklin-2

The ONLY way to save some sense of credibility is to overrule the Judiciary Act of 1925 and in so doing, shut down Congress’ claim that it has any right to ignore the Separation of Powers.  How about we then adopt the original proposal of Ben Franklin, who said that the legal community should nominate judges instead of politicians? That was the system in Scotland, and he proposed we eliminate politics from the judiciary. That is the only possible way to achieve a fundamental rule of law.

The Democrats are out to destroy our very way of life in pursuit of their own self-interest.

It is time the claims of power to violate the Separation of Powers by Congress are terminated or there will be NOTHING left and we will collapse into civil war as no other alternative.

Bill Barr Refuses to Say if He Assisted the Jack Smith Targeting of Donald Trump


Posted originally on the CTH on August 5, 2023 | Sundance 

Bill Barr enjoys talking about the weaponized DOJ as if the DOJ was not weaponized.  Bill Barr is a very dangerous figure in the government weaponization process, and he had a lot of people fooled for a long time.  Fortunately, he didn’t fool me and many of you remember exactly why.

Additionally, during my 2020 trip to DC, it was specific suspicions about Bill Barr that necessitated going directly into the system.  Through research and eventually a stroke of luck, I was able to trace the people Attorney General Barr assigned to review the Trump-Russia collusion nonsense.  I found the people working for Durham and questioned the lead investigator.  Again, I immediately told everyone there was nothing being done to confront the corrupt entities who fabricated the nonsense.

After those events I also outlined the institutional silo corruption, a process Benny Johnson recently described as “the ghost in the machine“.  While Johnson has the big picture accurate, these entities are not some unnamed random institutional bureaucrats.  They are people, they know exactly what they are doing, and they understand exactly how to control the mechanics.  These “ghosts” are the people AG Bill Barr was/is protecting.  WATCH:

Bill Barr Goes SILENT When Asked If He Cooperated With Special Counsel Jack Smith

“I’m not being arbitrary; I’m just not going to pretend. These people know exactly what is going on. Their action is not an outcome of some esoteric thought process. They are corrupt & acting to retain the corruption with specific intent & full understanding of the consequence.” ~ Sundance

Now, let us get down to the business of understanding.

♦ SILO #1 – Inspector General Michael Horowitz was given instructions by outgoing President Barack Obama, to review the internal decision-making inside the FBI, Main Justice and DOJ-NSD as it pertained to the Hillary Clinton classified document scandal.

In early January 2017, IG Horowitz was tasked to review the FBI decisions during the Clinton exoneration and deliver a report on his findings.

First, it is important to remember the DOJ inspector general can only review internal government conduct. The IG does not review or investigate outside involvement and has no authority to compel investigative compliance from outside parties.  The Office of Inspector General is an internal review agency.

Second, it is important to remember the DOJ inspector general was not authorized to conduct any oversight of the Dept of Justice National Security Division, DOJ-NSD. During the Obama era, when the DOJ-NSD was created by Attorney General Eric Holder, through the entirety of the Obama era, there was no inspector general oversight into any operations conducted by the DOJ-NSD; that included the FISA process.  It was not until later in 2017 when the Trump administration granted the OIG authority to conduct oversight into the DOJ National Security Division.

Think of IG Michael Horowitz as an investigative silo.  You will see why this matters.

♦ SILO #2 – Robert Mueller (truthfully Andrew Weissmann) was appointed in May of 2017 by Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein, as Special Counsel to investigate Trump-Russia and the reports of prior Russian influence in the 2016 election.  Robert Muller was a figurehead, a person in name only to give credibility to the purpose and intent of the group who assembled under his shingle.  Andrew Weissmann was the actual manager of the investigation, events and details of the Mueller probe.

On the outward face, in the aftermath of FBI Director James Comey being fired, the Mueller investigation was created to look at Russian interference in the 2016 election – against the background that Comey’s firing by President Trump was related to an intent to impede the ongoing Crossfire Hurricane investigation.  However, on the internal dynamic, inside the mechanics of how DC silos are created, the Mueller probe existed to hide the DOJ and FBI weaponization of government that was deployed under the justification of the FBI Crossfire Hurricane investigation.

Sometime around June of 2017, while conducting his review of the FBI conduct in the Clinton investigation, Inspector General Michael Horowitz discovered troubling internal communications between FBI agent Peter Strzok and DOJ-NSD assigned lawyer to the FBI, Lisa Page.  Silo #1 now intersects Silo #2.

Lisa Page was the DOJ lawyer advising FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.  Peter Strzok was the lead FBI counterintelligence agent working on the Clinton email investigation.  Lisa Page, Peter Strzok and Andrew McCabe were the core of the Clinton investigation and intrinsically linked to the Clinton exoneration as announced by FBI Director James Comey.

IG Horowitz knew of the Clinton investigation and was investigating the details therein.  Horowitz did not initially know about the Crossfire Hurricane investigation which, by June of 2017, had subsequently morphed into the Special Counsel Mueller investigation.

Horowitz’s 2017 task only pertained to the Clinton classified documents and decision-making. However, it was the exact same FBI and DOJ people who investigated then exonerated Hillary Clinton, who then opened an investigation of Trump, who then transferred into an expanded Robert Mueller probe.

Horowitz (Silo 1) was bound by requirements of his office to inform Robert Mueller that individuals inside his investigation (Silo 2) were under investigation.

This presented a problem for Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann who were conducting a coverup and targeting operation.

Essentially, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were a threat, as they were bringing an IG review into the security of the Mueller Silo.  Almost immediately, Strzok and Page were removed by Mueller/Weissmann to purge the problematic window they represented.

Mueller and Weismann then continued their operation, absorbing any Main Justice information that had anything to do with Trump-Russia.  Simultaneous to their unilateral empowerment, Weissmann and Mueller continued to fabricate a false premise of Russian interference in the 2016 election.  This ‘Russia narrative’ was supported as the justification for their continued operation throughout 2017, 2018 and into 2019.

It is important to remember that Mueller/Weissmann had full control over everything that had anything to do with the Russian interference narrative or the Trump-Russia narrative.  Any ancillary investigation from any government office that touched on these issues was subsequently absorbed by Weissmann and team.

As an example, this Weissmann/Mueller absorption and control included the FBI case against SSCI Security Director James Wolfe, the man who leaked the Title-1 surveillance warrant (FISA application) deployed by the Crossfire Hurricane team against Carter Page.  The Wolfe investigation (April ’17 through January ’18) was conducted by FBI Washington Field Office agent Brian Dugan. James Wolfe was indicted by USAO Jessie Liu for leaking the FISA application to journalist Ali Watkins.  However, the evidence file was reviewed by the special counsel, and after threats by the defense team to subpoena Senate Intelligence Committee members, the specific charge of leaking the FISA was dropped from the criminal case.

Because Weissmann/Mueller controlled everything that touched the Trump-Russia issues, in June of 2018 when the Carter Page FISA application was made public, it came from the Weissmann/Mueller team release.  This was one of the lesser discussed revelations from the Rod Rosenstein June 2020 testimony about the Mueller probe.

♦ SILO #3 – After taking office in February of 2019, Attorney General Bill Barr received the Mueller report in March and a debate with Mueller/Weissmann about the content and report release began.  In May 2019, AG Barr appointed Special Counsel John Durham to review the FBI operations that initiated the Trump-Russia probe.

It is important to note that John Durham was appointed *after* Bill Barr received the Mueller report from Andrew Weissmann. It is also important to note that despite the originating mandate of Weissmann/Mueller being predicated on their obligation to look into the accusations of Trump-Russia, the Clinton campaign organization of the Trump-Russia narrative does not appear in the Mueller report.

There is nothing about Clinton’s work with the Perkins Coie law firm and lawyer Michael Sussmann to work as a cut-out for the Clinton campaign contacts with Fusion GPS, Christopher Steele, Glenn Simpson, Bruce Ohr, Nellie Ohr or any other substantively manufactured system that was used to create the illusion of the Trump-Russia connections.  The absence of that information inside the Mueller report begged the obvious question:

How could Mueller investigate Trump-Russia for two years and never find the origin of Trump-Russia?

After realizing the Mueller report contained none of this information, in May of 2019 Bill Barr appointed John Durham and Silo #3 was created.

Each of the silos, purposefully created by those who operate within the DC systems of political power, were created to have specific usefulness and function.  This is how the system operates.

We hear things like “ongoing investigation” as sunlight blocks, or “potential interfering with an investigation” as another technique.  Each time a silo is created, the purpose of the silo is to control information and isolate the larger system from scrutiny.

When Robert Mueller (silo 2) appeared before a congressional committee in June 2019 to answer questions about his report, he was asked about the origination of Trump-Russia.  Mueller’s jaw-dropping response was, “That was not in my purview.”

Wait, how can your existence be predicated on investigating Trump-Russia, and yet the origin of Trump-Russia is not in your “purview”?  See the problem.

Unfortunately, and not accidentally, Robert Mueller was able to avoid scrutiny of never having investigated the origin of Trump-Russia because there was another silo, John Durham (silo 3), to take the heat off him.  Each silo is sequentially created to deflect and distract from questioning that surrounds the originating corruption. Attorney General Bill Barr created Silo #3 (Durham), for exactly this reason.  Bill Barr was the Bondo, John Durham the spray paint.

John Durham finishes up Silo-3 operations, delivers a report, and now we have a Silo #4 in operation via the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith.

As you can see, each silo creates an internal defense system which also allows media to deflect, ignore and distract.  However, in the Trump-Russia story you will note there is a flow to how the silos are sequenced.  The silos are designed to absorb information, deflect sunlight and keep accountability away.  The silos are constructs, preservation systems, for the DC administrative state.

Ultimately, each silo is created to stop people from seeing the larger picture – the unlawful targeting of a presidential candidate, and then a subsequent coup against that candidate after the election.   The evidence of the weaponized government is in the full story that resides, compartmented, inside purposefully constructed containment silos; each intended to block sunlight upon specific components of the evidence.

Seriously Sketchy – Judge Boasberg Sits in Back of DC District Court During President Trump Appearance


Posted originally on CTH on August 4, 2023 

As noted in Politico describing President Trump’s court appearance yesterday, “Minutes before Trump entered the pin-drop silent room, several federal judges — who have been processing the carnage of Jan. 6, 2021 for more than two years — filed into the public gallery, turning themselves into spectators in a building they typically rule. Chief Judge James Boasberg, who presided over several of the secret grand jury battles that preceded the charges against Trump, was among those marking the moment.”

[…] “Boasberg’s presence in the courtroom was a statement in itself. Alongside him was Judge Amy Berman Jackson, who has in her own courtroom excoriated Republicans who have refused to contradict Trump’s continued lies about the 2020 election. The pair, flanked by other judges and magistrate judges, watched Trump’s every move intently.”

In March, when I wrote the outline about Judge Boasberg being the corrupt DC judge who broke the constitutional restrictions on executive privilege, which technically forced Mike Pence to turn over his notes and testify to James Smith and the DC grand jury, I said at the time, “The entire judicial system is corrupt, soup to nuts, all of it.”  I was not using hyperbole.

For Judge Boasberg (who is on vacation) to show up in court and sit in the back row of the courtroom is a stunning visible display of judicial ideology and targeting.

In reality, Boasberg is bearing witness to the outcome he created by forcing a Vice President to give testimony against the Chief Executive, thereby establishing the basis for the fraudulent allegations Special Counsel Jack Smith was utilizing to target that same executive, President Donald Trump.

This is the same Judge Boasberg who sat as presiding judge on the FISA court.  The same Judge Boasberg who gave FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith a slap on the wrist for manufacturing evidence used in the Carter Page FISA application that defrauded the court.  The same Judge Boasberg who appointed former DOJ-NSD head Mary McCord as amicus curiae advisor to the court, after she knowingly and fraudulently submitted the FISA application to the court.

Two and a half years ago, while Judge Boasberg was on the FISA Court, I warned about the implications of all these interconnected judicial dots.  The entire DC federal bench is compromised.  The entire judiciary of the FISA Court process is compromised.  The entire federal judicial system is compromised.  Now we are stunningly seeing the scale and scope of that DC judicial corruption in the fraudulent case against President Donald Trump.

Former FISA Court Presiding Judge James Boasberg is no longer on the FISC.  However, he continues to advance the interests of the DC Deep State with rulings specifically tailored to protect the national security state.  [Boasberg Background Here]

Boasberg, an ally of SSCI Chairman Mark Warner, has intercepted several cases that brought sunlight upon the corrupt DC system.  In each case Boasberg ruled in favor of maintaining the corruption, including his willfully blind support of the FBI searching NSA databases to conduct illegal surveillance of Americans, and including Boasberg’s personal appointment of Mary McCord to run defense on behalf of the corrupt DOJ main office.  Keep in mind, Mary McCord’s husband works for Supreme Court justice John Roberts.

Then Presiding Judge James Boasberg, was the decision-maker in the appointment of Amici Curiae to the FISA court. There is no way, NO WAY, Judge Boasberg did not know Mary McCord was at the epicenter of the fraudulent FISA application used against Carter Page. Remember, in addition to being the FISC Presiding Judge, Boasberg was also the trial judge in the case against Kevin Clinesmith, the FBI lawyer who lied about Page working for the CIA on the FISA application. {Go Deep}

Boasberg knows Mary McCord took over from former DOJ-NSD head John Carlin (October 2016); and it was McCord who guided the Carter Page FISA application through the court and across the finish line (October 2016 and January 2017). That FISA application was built upon fraud and Mary McCord was at the center of it.

Mary McCord was also the DOJ-NSD official who went with Sally Yates to confront the White House Counsel, Don McGhan, about the Michael Flynn interview with the FBI. {Go Deep} It was also Mary McCord who had Michael Atkinson as the chief-legal-counsel for the DOJ-NSD -that’s her office attorney- when the FISA application was submitted in October 2016, and renewed in January 2017.

Michael Atkinson went from DOJ-NSD counsel to become the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG). {Go Deep} In that new role, Atkinson changed the rules to allow an anonymous CIA whistleblower (Ciaramella on behalf of Vindman) to file the complaint that led to the Ukraine impeachment effort. {Go Deep} Who was the lead lawyer in the Jerry Nadler led House Judiciary Committee? Why Mary McCord of course. Judge Boasberg knows all of this… AND MORE.

Boasberg knows the details of the fraudulent FISA application. Boasberg knows the details of the Inspector General Michael Horowitz report about the fraudulent FISA application and all the DOJ and FBI participants… which included Mary McCord. Boasberg knows exactly who Mary McCord is, and what activity she has taken on behalf of the political resistance inside the DOJ and inside congress. FISC Presiding Judge James Boasberg also knows Mary McCord has broken the law….

…And yet Boasberg appoints McCord as amici curiae?

Let’s be really clear here. The FISA court is a small unit. The judges in/around Washington DC are also a small unit. They know everything that is going on in and around their DC network. A FISA judge inside that DC system knows every granular detail of everything that comes into their purview. All of it. Judge Boasberg even wrote the last two FISA court opinions (2019 and 2020) about the FBI abuses of the FISA-702 process and warrantless, illegal violations of the NSA database.

There is simply no other way to look at the placement of Mary McCord other than to see what it was.

The FISA court is compromised – AND, McCord is being installed in order to coordinate any defensive measures that are needed to cover up that compromise.

There isn’t another way to look at this other than to see bad motives. There’s not a shred of possibility that Judge Boasberg does not know exactly who Mary McCord is, and what roles she played in the surveillance of candidate Donald Trump, President-elect Trump, President Trump and the House impeachment effort to remove President Donald Trump. Boasberg knows exactly who Mary McCord is.

Boasberg knows what the DOJ and FBI were doing in their targeting of candidate Trump and President Trump.   Perhaps more than any other DC judge, Boasberg has been at the center of it.  Yet Boasberg will force Vice President Pence to turn over executive privilege documents, give testimony against the interests of the President, and then sit in the back of the courtroom to watch the outcomes of all these years of tentacles…..

There has always been no other way to look at this.

I hate to say it so bluntly, but the federal court system in Washington DC is compromised and yes, weaponized….

… That’s the true “conspiracy against rights”.

Trump’s 3rd Indictment May Backfire


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Aug 4, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Marty, Your experience in law is well known. What is your opinion of Trump’s new indictment?

Paul

ANSWER: Never in the entire history of the United States have we EVER witnessed such political corruption using the Department of Justice. They had tapes of Richard Nixon that would have convicted him but they did not prosecute him for fear that it was not in the best judgment for the nation. Nixon had won by the highest vote, and the fact that the people caught in the break-in were actually CIA people. Nixon had a meeting with the head of the CIA and bluntly just said he knew who killed JFK.

Here we have the most desperate case against Trump, which is obviously political. In this case, you have the president of the United States engaging in political speech, and even if it is an outright lie, as so many presidents have done, it cannot be a crime. As the president, he even had a fiduciary duty to question the validity of the election, as did Hillary, when he was being told by people under oath from around the country that there were problems with the election.

The Biden Administration now has the burden to tear down the First Amendment for the government must now prove in this case, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the president’s speech is not protected by the First Amendment. That will apply to Biden and every president until the country collapses. I would be shocked if that would be upheld by the Supreme Court, even if they get the DC judge, who is notoriously biased, to rule that Trump had no First Amendment rights – as I expect she will do solely for political purposes.

There was even a lawsuit filed against Congress that they refused to investigate the 2020 election when that was their fiduciary duty to do so. I would be subpoenaing all the documents behind that decision. I would bet this judge will protect all the Democrats, and we may see the denial of subpoena powers with a motion to the Supreme Court. I do not expect Trump to get a fair trial in Washington, DC. This will only tarnish the United States even more internationally. Foreign governments will begin to think twice about holding the US government’s sovereign debt. They should switch to AAA corporate – ASAP!

Trump also had a responsibility as a United States president to raise those issues. The Biden Administration now argued that Trump’s advocacy was criminal behavior when Hillary made false claims about Putin creating RussiaGate, costing taxpayers tens of millions of dollars that proved they were false allegations DELIBERATELY made up by the Democrats. The Democratic Party was even fined for doing so. You cannot square the treatment of Hillary v Trump and pretend this is the rule of law.

The respect and trustworthiness of the United States is collapsing globally. The United States used to be the beacon of LIBERTY in the world. Those days are gone. I have been warning that the 2024 election would be the MOST corrupt in American history. That forecast made ten years ago shows how accurate Socrates has been long-term.

The federal government likely facilitated the events that occurred on January 6, 2021. The FBI has refused to answer questions regarding how many agents they had there. They successfully drew the public’s eye away from the election fraud that took place and portrayed Trump supporters as domestic terrorists. In the video above, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) questioned Jill Sanborn, Executive Assistant Director, National Security Branch of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. “I can’t answer that,” Sanborn replied to every question. That, to me, is TREASON to the Constitution – the nation comes BEFORE the Deep State. This is why the United States, as we have known it, will NOT exist post-2032.

Cruz provided Sanborn with clear evidence of FBI involvement. On January 5, a man they call Ray Epps was filmed on video enticing the crowd to break into the Capitol the following day. His behavior was so questionable that the crowd began chanting, “Fed! Fed!” It was clear to them that he was not there to protest peacefully. On the day of the Capitol “siege,” Epps is filmed talking to another man before they begin removing the barricades. The men began encouraging others to join them.

On January 8, the FBI released pictures of the men removing the barricade and asking for any information leading to their arrests. Yet, the same image was later posted with Epps photoshopped out of the picture. Again, Sanborn refused to answer why this photo was altered. Sanborn refused to say whether Epps was an FBI agent. Her silence should tell us all we need to know. This is why the public and the world have lost all faith in this corrupt Biden Administration.

The attorney for Capitol Hill protest participant Ray Epps, former FBI agent himself John Blischak, told The Epoch Times on Jan. 12 that his client has been interviewed by federal law enforcers and “unequivocally he is not an FBI informant.” That is very narrow. That does not say he was not working for the FBI for money, nor was he an agent. An informant is someone who rats other people out willingly. The strange thing is that while everyone else is being criminally charged, they dropped all charges against Epps.

The Biden Administration is absolutely so afraid of Trump ending the careers of the Neocons and shutting down World War III that this 3rd Indictment is such a desperate attempt to use the 14th Amendment to prevent him from ever running for politics again. They made a HUGE mistake. This entire case rests upon the validity of the 2020 election. That means that Trump can now subpoena every place that was suspect in how they handled votes. They will have to prove he KNEW he really lost to create sedition. That seems to be a real stretch.

This video clearly shows people were there who were not with the protesters. Yet every person there the Feds want to prosecute as a terrorist, except their own. If I were Trump, I would now subpoena the FBI for everyone who was there on January 6th, but also all the involvement of the FBI, CIA, and NSA in rigging the election. This can be far more devastating than these desperate people realize what they have done. Anyone who thinks the CIA could not rig the 2020 election so the Neocons could wage World War III is an absolute fool. Just as Nixon threatened the CIA that he knew who killed JFK because he was also against the Vietnam War, he had better realize that there is a Deep State and they see themselves as righteous.

Zelensky is perhaps the MOST corrupt head of state on the planet. He, too, tried to use the rule of law to imprison his opponent, the former president of Ukraine Poroshenko, who would also stop the war. At least there, the Ukrainian Court refused to imprison Poroshenko, realizing that such a move would only continue the outrageous corruption in Ukraine, which has now infected the Biden Administration. The IMF has pointed out that the sheer corruption in Ukraine has been the worst in the world. They wrote: “Fighting corruption is a key demand of the Ukrainian society, is crucial to achieving stronger and equitable growth, and is part of the government’s commitment under the program with the IMF.”

The Biden administration has undergone a coup, and the Neocons are in complete control of the country. They are destroying the United States, as our computer has forecast. There will NEVER be a return to normal. There is a massive migration from the North to the South. I urge DeSantis to drop out of the run for President. They will eat him for lunch and will NEVER allow him to enter the White House. Please stay right here in Florida, for we will have to build our own wall to separate from the evil empire that is consuming the country.

US Credit Rating & the Sovereign Debt Crisis


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Aug 3, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: What do you make of the US debt downgrade? Do you think this has anything to do with indicting Trump in three courts? I know many people decided to donate to Trump today, even for the first time, as a sign of disapproval of the Biden Administration and the RINOs.

HJ

ANSWER:

It is time for the Credit Rating Agencies to knock off the BS. Yes, Fitch Ratings downgraded US long-term debt late on Tuesday from AAA to AA+, citing this spring’s debt ceiling standoff as a significant reason. That is nonsense. NO government ever intends to pay off its debts. Historically they ALWAYS default. The global financial system has relied on the promise that the US government will always repay its debts. Some wrongly believe that this is what makes the US dollar the most widely held currency worldwide. The backing behind the dollar is twofold.

  1. Largest Consumer-based economy in the world that everyone needs to sell into
  2. The deepest financial market in the world to park money as well as finance projects and float stocks

This is why the US markets barely reacted to the news in after-hours trading on Tuesday, and US Treasuries were holding steady. Of course, you have the traditional bearish prognosticators who claim the last time there was a downgrade, and the market crashed by 6.5%. The real question is – sell stocks, and the traditional flight to quality is you buy bonds – which were just downgraded. Hm? Many are starting to wake up that the only safe place for wealth will be in tangible assets, for this Biden Administration is completely desperate and out of control. You cannot threaten China and Russia with war and then ask them to buy your debt. China is disinvesting in US government debt ASAP. That is also the reason for the downgrade.

These indictments against Trump, while Biden and Hunter actually could be charged with Treason, have undermined the confidence in the United States government internationally more than anything. They are trying to prevent Trump from running in 2024, for the Neocons know they would be fired if not put on trial for treason themselves. Trump vowed to run for office from prison. RFK should join as the VP and abandon the Democrats, for they will NEVER allow him to gain a toe in their Washington club.

Yes, I have gotten many emails saying people are donating to Trump’s 2024 campaign as a matter of protest against this Biden Administration. All I can hope is that even Democrats wake up before it is too late and stop this hate-Trump nonsense, for what lurks in Washington is so much worse. This judge in Washington will put Trump in prison in the blink of an eye. This judge has been handing out time in excess of the prosecutor’s recommendations. That is unheard of.  You are about to witness the complete collapse of the Rule of Law in the United States, and once that goes – it is time to turn out the lights.

The US will eventually descend into civil war at worst, just as China and Russia did when faced with the rise of the LEFT. Some states will separate from this absolutely corrupt government. We cannot rule out the Biden Administration canceling the dollar before the 2024 election, for the Neocons do not care about the economy – only their geopolitical goals. With the Neocons in such a desperate position, they may not wait for the election and connect a dollar cancelation to some geopolitical event. The EU would most likely do the same on a coordinated basis, and both Canada and the UK will follow suit with Japan, Australia, and South Korea.

If the Neocons manufacture a geopolitical conflict before the election, beware of the 2nd quarter next year. That does NOT mean we should lose all hope. You cannot create a new system without purging the old one. Keep your fingers crossed for post-2032, and we get to start anew just as the Founding Fathers overthrew the monarchy and created a new political system.

House Oversight Committee Releases Transcript of Devon Archer Testimony About Joe and Hunter Biden Business Deals


Posted originally on the CTH on August 3, 2023 | Sundance 

Hunter Biden’s business partner at Burisma, Devon Archer, testified about the nature of the business construct and the flow of payments to the Biden family.  The House Oversight Committee has released the 141-page transcript [READ HERE].

Within the transcript, when Democrat representative and lawyer Daniel Goldman questioned Mr. Archer about the exact value of having the Biden family as part of the Burisma Holdings organization, Archer informed Goldman the intent of the partnership was for the Biden family to keep the legal inquiry about the business operation under control.

Various foreign businesses contracted with Hunter Biden and Devon Archer, specifically because Joe Biden could address their interests and influence government, both in the USA and abroad. [House Link HERE]

[Read Transcript pdf Here]

Mr. Archer: My only thought is that I think Burisma would have gone out of business if it didn’t have the brand attached to it.  That’s my, like, only honest opinion.  But I have no basis for any ‑‑ never heard any conversations –

Mr. Goldman: But that’s different than Joe Biden’s action. 

Mr. Archer:  Right.

Mr. Goldman: You’re just talking about that Hunter was on the board. 

Mr. Archer:  Right. And I think that’s why –

Mr. Goldman:  And so –

Mr. Archer: ‑‑ it was able to survive for as long as it did.

Mr. Goldman: By ‑‑ because of additional capital or –

Mr. Archer:  Just because of the brand.

Mr. Goldman: Well, I don’t understand.  How does that have an impact? 

Mr. Archer: Well, the capabilities to navigate D.C. that they were able to, you know, basically be in the news cycle.  And I think that preserved them from a, you know, from a longevity standpoint.  That’s like my honest ‑‑ that’s like really what I ‑‑ that’s like how I think holistically.

Mr. Goldman: But how would that work? 

Mr. Archer: Because people would be intimidated to mess with them. 

Mr. Goldman: In what way? 

Mr. Archer:  Legally.

President Trump Sends Message – Going to DC To Get Arrested to Make America Great Again


August 3, 2023 | Sundance 

Sending a message to Americans from his Truth Social account, President Trump is in good spirits as he heads into DC to face arrest by the justice officials representing Joe Biden.

NOON – “I AM NOW GOING TO WASHINGTON, D.C., TO BE ARRESTED FOR HAVING CHALLENGED A CORRUPT, RIGGED, & STOLEN ELECTION. IT IS A GREAT HONOR, BECAUSE I AM BEING ARRESTED FOR YOU. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

Leadership is taking point, taking the opposition head on, facing down the enemy and remaining indefatigable in the face of all adversity. President Trump’s approach is exactly why world leaders’ step aside when he enters the conversation. Donald J Trump is fearless.

Respect!

MAGA!

PSALM 91: 5-15

Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day.
Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you.
Just open your eyes and see how the wicked are punished.

If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter,
no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home.

For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.
They will hold you up with their hands, so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.
You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!

The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.
I will protect those who trust in my name.
When they call on me, I will answer.
I will be with them in trouble.
I will rescue and honor them.
I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.”
