Arrogant Demands Have Consequences – Mass Exodus as U.S. Trade Staff Hit Dead Ends and Unwilling Cooperation


Posted originally on the CTH on January 28, 2024 | Sundance

A story surfacing in Politico about the collapse of the office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) and the inability of the entire trade policy group to find any willing trade partners was entirely predictable.

You might remember how the insufferable U.S. business media constantly said the Trump trade team was not going to be successful because the administration was disliked by global trade partners. Every Trump trade approach from tariffs to section 301 compliance, to U.S. demands around foreign policy tied to the economic Trump Doctrine was decried by U.S. multinational corporations as too divisive, too intransigent. However, Donald Trump and his trade wolverines racked up more trade wins and established more trade agreements than any administration in history.

From KORUS (Korea/US) to the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, India, Japan, European energy deals, massive changes with China, new Ag agreements, demanded technology sector investment back in the USA, and the successful renegotiation of NAFTA (Canada, Mexico, USA) into the USMCA – all of it was stunning in scale, scope and success. Trump’s global trade success was exactly the opposite of every predictive declaration by the professional media. All of the Trump strategic policy shift created the framework for the largest domestic expansion of the U.S. economy, evident in every 2019 economic metric prior to the pandemic.

Biden took office with the full support of the lying liars who lie in the media, and they said Biden’s team was a shoo-in for success. Again, exactly the opposite has happened.

The ideological leftists who came with the Obama/Biden plan forcibly tried to push their Green New Deal policies into every trade agreement. The result and response from all U.S. trade partners has been a massive failure of epic proportions.

Despite the international pontifications around support for the globalist energy policies, ie. the “Build Back Better” bulls**t pushed by western government, the World Economic Forum and the globalists, when it comes to where the rubber hits the road no nation is willing to attach themselves to the economically destructive millstone demands of U.S trade. In material fact, many of the BBB agenda priorities are now completely rejected by the same politicians who promoted them.

In part, we in the USA are suffering through some of the most horrific inflationary economic outcomes from this Biden ‘Green New Deal’ program. Any nation that aligned itself is feeling the same impact in direct proportion to how close they followed the program. The more ‘Green’ compliant the nation, the more the economic hardship upon the citizens within that nation. This is just the non-pretending reality of the thing.

So, it doesn’t come as any great surprise to see a thoroughly rejected and dejected career trade group now walking to the exits with zero accomplishments for their last three years of effort.

WASHINGTON – Frustration with a stalled trade agenda and unhappiness with the leadership of President Joe Biden’s trade chief is pushing more than a half-dozen senior trade officials out the door, according to four current and former administration officials with knowledge of the departures.

The exits include the White House’s point person on international economics and two of the three deputy U.S. trade representatives responsible for implementing the Biden administration’s “worker-centered” trade policy.

The exodus comes after Biden’s trade agenda ran aground on multiple fronts in 2023: failing to reach a green steel and aluminum deal with the European Union and pulling out of trade talks that were part of the U.S.-crafted Indo-Pacific Economic Framework in November. The administration, meanwhile, remains internally divided on other key trade policy decisions, like how to regulate digital information flowing across the globe.

Those headwinds — and the realization that little real progress is likely to be made in an election year during which former President Donald Trump will put a glaring spotlight on trade — have convinced some officials it’s time to move on. Adding to the frustration: simmering discontent with the management practices of U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai.

[…] Biden’s “worker-centered” trade agenda was designed to smooth over frayed relations with close trading partners and win back those blue-collar workers in battleground states. But his sweeping plans to reshape global trade rules haven’t assuaged concerns from Democrats who worry that Trump will again use trade issues as a cudgel against them in the industrial Midwest — a region that could determine control of Congress and the White House in November.

That disconnect has forced USTR to freeze, abandon, or dramatically scale back its signature initiatives and negotiations, leaving some top lawmakers and staffers frustrated. In particular, Wyden and Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) are fuming that the administration hasn’t matched the Trump administration’s accomplishments on trade, like the binding labor and environmental standards that Democrats got inserted into the rewrite of NAFTA that Trump signed in 2020.

“Sen. Brown and I have consistently said that you need the kind of proposal that you saw in the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement where you open up markets for business and you have tough enforcement,” said Wyden, “and a lot of what’s been put up doesn’t meet that test.” (read more)

Go figure!….

Want success?…

Want trade deals that lift the USA economy?…

Want USA “deflation,” yes, the actual lowering of prices for goods and services?…

Want lower costs of goods, and lower prices for consumers by leveraging the size of the USA market?…

…..Get Donald Trump Back in Office!

Terrorists Mock America While Crossing the Border


Posted originally on Jan 25, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

The argument that people crossing the US border, illegally, are simply dreamers searching for a better life is null and void. They can abide by US law and go through the immigration process, a process that was standard until Biden took office. There is an increasing number of KNOWN TERRORISTS entering the US, but Washington wants you to believe it is not a threat to national security.

A video has been circulating of a migrant walking across the border, taunting reporters with vague threats of terrorism. “If you are smart enough you would know who I am. But you are really not smart enough to know who I am,” the man stated, later saying, “But soon you’re going to know who I am. Very easy. Believe me, I am much bigger than that … You will see.” The man was not detained.

Terrorist Cells

This is far from an isolated incident. In 2023, U.S. Customs and Border Protection caught 169 people trying to cross the border who are on the terrorist watchlist. Again, we must remember that the number of illegals reported are those who were processed or caught trespassing. The majority of bad actors are completely unaccounted.

As of October 2023, 35,433 people with outstanding warrants or criminal convictions were caught trying to flee their country to avoid prosecution. This includes nearly 600 gang members, again, only the gang members who were not swift enough to avoid detention.

Worse, Border Patrol and Air and Marine Operations seized 27,293 pounds of fentanyl at the US-Mexico border. They estimate that this is enough fentanyl to kill off over 6 billion people. Fentanyl overdoses have quadrupled in the US in the past five years.

Watchlist.Terrorists.MigrantCrisis

Some may recall how the mainstream media declared that it was a conspiracy that terrorists were infiltrating America. They went as far as to say that being on the watchlist did not mean that someone was dangerous or involved in terrorism. As CNN reported in March 2021:

“Facts First: There’s no evidence of a sudden rush of individuals on the terror watch list showing up at the southern border. The information that is available is vague and leaves many questions unanswered. That said, it’s entirely false to imply a small number of individuals on the terror watch list coming to the southern border is a new phenomenon. Furthermore, it’s worth noting that being on the FBI’s terror watch list does not mean someone is a terrorist or has proven ties to terrorists.”
BorderCrisis.Trump_.Poltifact

Trump warned us after the attack on Israel that Hamas terrorists were crossing into America. Again, every news agency said that there were no evidence for his claims. Every attempt to warn the public that the US has been invaded is dismissed as a MAGA conspiracy theory.

The establishment, through the media, was buying these men time to enter the country without the masses becoming suspicious. Countless KNOWN TERRORISTS and violent criminals are within the US. What are they doing here?

It would come as no surprise if these men were awaiting next orders from a global organization seeking to dethrone America as the world’s leading superpower. We have been warned.

Has President Biden Committed Treason & Should be Removed form Office Immediately?

Supremacy Clause U.S Constitution

We have a MAJOR Constitutional Crisis between the actions of Biden himself and the recent Supreme Court ruling against Texas relying on the Supremacy Clause, which defies the entire intent of the purpose and promises of joining the union. It is astonishing that Justices Roberts and Barrett sided with the left wing and have allowed Biden’s federal officers to continue removing the border fencing erected by the state of Texas while the case is pending.

I am sorry; the Supreme Court is seriously wrong in this decision. The Supremacy Clause may say that Federal decrees overrule state law, but here we are talking about an executive order that is not democratically enacted or even presented to Congress. If the President decrees that you must kill all your firstborn, which Congress never enacted, does that force everyone to do so because of the Supremacy Clause? It is fundamental in the interpretation of law or the Constitution that you cannot interpret one clause of the Constitution in such a way that it violates another.

Article IV

Section 4
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

Article I Legislative Branch
Section 10 Powers Denied States

Clause 3 Acts Requiring Consent of Congress
No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

Illegal Aliens Migrants Texas Border
Border Sign

The Texas response to the Supreme Court’s order has sparked a heated debate, but honest, serious legal questions have emerged that go to the very heart of the United States’ structure and why Biden has so divided the country. It truly can no longer stand united. In defiance of the Supreme Court’s order, which was SERIOUSLY FLAWED, a decision to install even more razor wire in Eagle Pass has raised several questions about the state’s authority and its conflict with federal laws.

The defiance of the Supreme Court’s order has also raised concerns about the respect for the rule of law, as some expressed fears that this could lead to a conflict between the state and federal authorities. Under this interpretation, Biden should send troops and invade Texas as if this were the Civil War. After all, that’s what Abraham Lincoln did. Some of this is that Texas could take its case to the international court. That is absurd, for the US has refused to join the International Criminal Court, so they have no jurisdiction.

Biden Has No Authority to Refuse to Execute the Immigration Law as it stands now contrary to his Oath of Office.

Biden took an oath of office which states:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

An executive order is a directive from the President with much of the same power as a federal law. Several landmark moments in American history came about directly from the use of executive orders issued from the White House’s desk, including one Supreme Court decision that limited a presidential executive order issued by Harry Truman in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, 343 U.S. 579 (1952). This is a critical case because it directly deals with an Executive Order.

Truman believed to avert a nationwide strike of steel workers in April 1952, claiming it would jeopardize national defense, he issued an Executive Order directing the Secretary of Commerce to seize and operate most of the steel mills in the country. There was no statutory authority granting such authority. Still, Truman asserted that it was covered by the claim that his power was based on all powers vested in the President by the Constitution and laws of the United States and as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.

5th Amendmnet Taking Clause

The Secretary issued an order to seize the steel mills and directed their presidents to operate them as operating managers for the United States as if they were slaves. Truman did report his action to Congress, but Congress took no action. Even the Fifth Amendment Taking Clause was ignored. This even prevents the claims that the government will just confiscate everyone’s assets. The military is what supports the government and takes its assets away as well, and the government falls.

So here we have the only Supreme Court case on an Executive Order, and the Supreme Court limited and reduced it. It expressly held that the Executive Order was not authorized by the Constitution or laws of the United States, and it cannot stand. Pp. 343 U. S. 585-589. Furthermore, it expressly stated that there is no statute that expressly or impliedly authorizes the President to take possession of this property as he did here. Pp. 343 U. S. 585-586.

Biden Has Committed Treason by Deliberately Violating His Oath of Office

ARTICLE III
Section 3
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

The Court construed the other treason offense authorized by the Constitution similarly narrowly in Cramer v. United States (1945). That case involved another infamous incident in American history: the Nazi Saboteur Affair. Cramer was prosecuted for treason for allegedly helping German soldiers who had secretly infiltrated American soil during World War II. In reviewing Cramer’s treason conviction, the Court explained that a person could be convicted of treason ONLY if he or she adhered to an enemy and gave that enemy “aid and comfort” which Biden is doing.

As the Cramer Court explained:

“A citizen intellectually or emotionally may favor the enemy and harbor sympathies or convictions disloyal to this country’s policy or interest, but, so long as he commits no act of aid and comfort to the enemy, there is no treason. On the other hand, a citizen may take actions which do aid and comfort the enemy—making a speech critical of the government or opposing its measures, profiteering, striking in defense plants or essential work, and the hundred other things which impair our cohesion and diminish our strength—but if there is no adherence to the enemy in this, if there is no intent to betray, there is no treason.”

In other words, the Constitution requires both concrete action and an intent to betray the nation before a citizen can be convicted of treason; expressing traitorous thoughts or intentions alone does not suffice.

From October 2022 last year to September 2023, officials at the southern border have arrested 169 people whose names matched those on the terrorist watch list, compared with 98 during the previous fiscal year and 15 in 2021, according to government data. These are just the people they caught. Watch RFK’s Nightmare at the Border, and he has confirmed that the majority of the people coming in are NOT from South America.

Governor Abbot is Correct

Biden is REFUSING to execute the law passed by Congress and has embarked on an agenda that, WHATEVER Trump did, he has to reverse regardless of the consequences. For a president to REFUSE to execute the law, NO statutory or constitutional authority allows him to do so. Not only is the Governor correct, but this illustrates why the United States cannot stand as a union, for once again, the government usurps all authority to a central government as did Stalin in Russia, and it is only a matter of time before the government to collapse. That is the verdict throughout history – no dictatorial central government has ever survived long-term.

Empires 3rdCentury Gallic Postumus Roman

The Roman Empire split over this same issue. In fact, Postumus (260-269AD) issued a coin with the reverse showing him coming to the rescue to defend France, Netherlands, and Britain against the flood of immigrants pouring in from the other side of the Danube – the Restitutor Galliar” (the restorer of Gaul).

Postumus Restorer of Gall

As many know, the computer has been forecasting civil unrest, and eventually, the United States will split, as will Europe. Centralized Control, when adopted by a government, ends the very purpose of forming a civilization when everyone benefits. This Biden Administration is acting by an executive order bypassing the Congress that theoretically represented We the People. These forecasts are by no means my personal opinion or wish. I have done my best to WARN the government that this path leads to dissolution. But they refuse to listen and prefer to roll around in the mud like a pig with no cares in the world. It is HISTORY that warns this is not going to end nicely. But nobody will listen because they prefer Klaus Schwab’s new world of total power ending elections.

Supreme Court Rules 5-4 That State Authorities Cannot Protect American Citizens from Illegal Border Entry


Posted originally on the CTH on January 22, 2024 | Sundance

In a 5-4 ruling today [pdf Available Here], Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined with the radical leftists on the court, Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, to say that Texas is not permitted to protect itself from illegal border crossers.  None of the justices provided any explanation for their vote.

The court majority sided with the Biden administration policy of removing razor wire to permit illegal alien entry without impediment.  Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas voted with Texas, in favor of national border integrity.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A divided Supreme Court on Monday allowed Border Patrol agents to cut razor wire that Texas installed on the U.S.-Mexico border, while a lawsuit over the wire continues.

The justices, by a 5-4 vote, granted an emergency appeal from the Biden administration, which has been in an escalating standoff at the border with Texas and had objected to an appellate ruling in favor of the state.

The concertina wire along roughly 30 miles (48 kilometers) of the Rio Grande near the border city of Eagle Pass is part of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s broader fight with the administration over immigration enforcement. (read more)

God, I pray for stability right now, because this is infuriating.

The irony and hypocrisy of the Supreme Court having a security perimeter for their own security yet dismissing the establishment of a security perimeter for the citizens of the country is not lost on me.

I am beyond angry!
