When the Rule of Law Fails – Civilization Follows

Smither Jack Prosecutor

There is rising speculation over whether prosecutors in Donald Trump’s classified documents case, Jack Smith, will attempt to have presiding Judge Aileen Cannon recused (removed) from the trial after she granted the defense access to certain unredacted classified papers. Smith wants to deny Trump any knowledge of who will testify against him. This is typical of an unethical prosecutor who manipulates judges and courts to ensure they always win and keep the highest conviction rate in the world, along with the 500% greater chance you will go to prison in the USA rather than China.

TR Docket Sealed

In my case, after Republic National Bank pled guilty with a deal to return all the money they stole and make all my clients whole with the promise nobody in the bank would ever go to prison, as always in New York, I filed a motion before Judge McKenna which was to compel the government to explain what were the charges since in a reverse proffer session they finally admitted I stole no money. I represented myself because they had taken my lawyers away with another parallel civil court. I filed this motion to compel the government to explain just the theory of the case. They argued this was a pro se brief, and the court could not expect them to answer because I did not know the law to defend myself. I then moved to dismiss the case since if I did not know the law to defend myself; then I could not have knowingly violated the law. Judge McKenna smiled and asked the government if they would not answer my motion now.

Since they had no answer, they went to the Chief Judge, had my case removed from Judge McKenna, and reassigned it to Judge Keenan, who instantly denied that motion. This is how these prosecutors act. The Constitution, law, due process, nothing matters to them. They MUST retain their perfect conviction rate. Jack Smith is now widely expected to pull the same maneuver. We will see if the Florida Federal Court is as corrupt as New York. Just for the record, they should have made a motion to recuse before Judge McKenna, to which I should have had the due process right to object. That was denied by the back-room deal with the Chief Judge, and then, as you can see, they sealed the records, so I cannot even see how they removed the judge.

FT June 27 1998 Rouble

Judge Keenan, a former prosecutor, should also have had a hearing to allow me to object to this back-room deal – he did not.  The bankers told the government I had to be shut down because they were losing money in their manipulations. I had forecast that Russia would collapse in June 1998 within about 30 days. That was the collapse of the Long-Term Capital Management.

Even Edmond Safra, the owner of Republic National Bank, lost over $1 billion, so I believe he stole the funds from me and told the government he had no idea where the money was. All you had to do was go down the list of all the big players who lost billions, for they assumed if they ganged up together, they could manipulate the world. Just look at who had all loses on the same trade, and that is the evidence that they are “the club,” as I call it; they do not compete against each other but join together. If they were manufacturing cars, they would be charged under the Sherman Anti-Trust Act statutes and broken up like AT&T, etc.

When I asked a NY Lawyer why bankers are never charged? He said: “You don’t shit where you eat.“The prosecutors were so bought that no rational person would ever believe $1 billion left a bank, and they had no idea where it was. There would be a wire transfer, a check written – something! There was nothing. They could not be that stupid. This was all about shutting down my First Amendment rights and stopping the forecasting.

Keenan John

It became obvious when Judge Keenan dared to publicly claim I stole the idea for the ECM from the 1998 Movie Pi. They could care less about even facts when they alleged I was dealing in Japan back in 1992. I suppose I used a time machine as well. It was the forecasting they were desperately trying to discredit at all costs to support the bankers manipulating the markets and blowing up the world economy every time.

Keenan 4 10 07 Movie Pi

The Southern District of NY court is beyond all hope – it’s too corrupt. Judges commit felonies all the time, and they alter the transcripts, changing the very words spoken in court. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals dared to claim they lacked the power to order judges to obey the law – see US v ZICHETTELLO id/97. I argued since time means nothing and they can change the words spoken in court, they might as well say I confessed to killing JFK while they were at it and just order the death penalty since trials are a nuisance anyway. Stalin executed Kondratieff because he said there was a cycle and communism would collapse as well. He was taken from court when they ran out of reasons to imprison him and just shot him in the parking lot.

Trump does not stand a chance of winning in New York City. I have never seen the courts there EVER provide a fair trial to anyone! There is a higher probability that it will snow in Hell before Trump ever gets a fair trial in New York City. We are NOW about to see if the Florida courts are as corrupt as New York. Jack Smith will try a backroom deal and say the President needs this. Tuesday, Judge Cannon ruled in favor of Trump, stating the filing from Jack Smith:

fails to identify the information at issue, provide any explanation about the nature of the investigation, or explain how disclosure of the code name would prejudice or jeopardize the integrity of the separate investigation (assuming it remains ongoing).

With each passing day, this corruption is becoming so bad that the only solution becomes separation of the United States, particularly in light of the Biden Administration seeking a total dictatorship over Texas, tearing up the constitution and nullifying all State’s rights, which the Founding Fathers swore that day would NEVER come – see Federalist #46.

Without the Rule of Law – Civilization Cannot Exist.

The worst kid you ever knew in high school becomes a prosecutor.

Was the 2020 Election Rigged?

2020 Election Forecast 6 Models

COMMENT: You are just a Trump supporter. The election was not rigged. Get over it.

Anonymous

REPLY:   I am terribly sorry, but the forecasts from markets to politics are NEVER my personal opinion. I am just along for the ride. Clients come to us for the plain and simple reason that it is the UNBIASED computer forecasts they seek – not how I felt when I woke up that day. People typically judge others by themselves. For you to accuse me means you must be in the anti-Trump camp. I feel sorry for you because you are too biased to ever look at anything from an open mind perspective.

2020 Combined

Our models made it obvious that it was a 50/50 split on the Popular Vote, which I relayed. Our models on the Electoral College were conclusive – Trump should have won. This is not my personal opinion. I have previously reported that our model showed that Al Gore should have won against Bush, but the Supreme Court handed that to Bush. Even politicians come to our site because they KNOW it is never my personal opinion.

This entire move to authoritarianism is because Trump won in 2016, and that scared the HELL out of politicians around the world. Suddenly, Democracy became evil Populism, and they realized that they could be voted out of office. Putin is popular because he was NOT a Communist nor an Oligarch. His polls are 83% approval right now. If the shoe were on the other foot, we would probably support our government as well when attacked by a foreign power.

Right now, the Democrats refuse to put RFK on their ticket, fearing he would win. Trump is polling now 50 points ahead of anyone else. The people rising to Trump are not because he is such a fantastic person; it is a vote against all the corrupt people in government.

MAIN Sec State not political

You better open your eyes. This is a vote for World War III or against it. I wish there would be a real election. There is NO WAY the 2024 election will be fair. The Maine Secretary of State, Ms. Bellows, a Democrat who removed Trump from the ballot, should be criminally charged and removed from office. She dared to say in a Jan. 1 interview with NPR:

“Politics and my personal views played no role … I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, and that is what I did.”

01:31

Here she is in a conference call with other Democratic state politicians, talking about voter suppression, which is precisely what she engaged in. If Maine does not at least impeach her, that state will be on the list of other morally corrupt places to avoid at all costs. In her own words, when everyone participates, we “win” in protecting our democracy – which is not what we have; it’s a Republic. The people of Maine did not remove Trump from the ballot – she did behind closed doors.

insurrection Statute 18 USC 2383

She denied Trump Due Process of law, no charge, no trial; she was the prosecutor, the jury, and the judge with no public hearing, all behind secret closed doors. You cannot define the Constitution while violating it. She acted ruthlessly, as did Communist and Dictators historically. She has deliberately interfered with the election and violated everyone’s civil rights and should be barred from even being a dog catcher. You cannot violate the Constitution while pretending to defend it. Trump has NOT been charged with insurrection or rebellion, nor has anyone on January 6th. This is absolute proof that the 2024 election will be rigged, and this is not the first time. She should be dragged out of office in handcuffs, but of course, the Democratic-controlled DOJ will never charge a fellow Democrat.

FBI Investigator of Trump-Russia Collusion Sentenced to 4 Years in Prison for Colluding with Russia


Posted originally on the CTH on December 14, 2023 | Sundance

The irony and hypocrisy is thick.  Charles McGonigal was an FBI counterintelligence official in charge of the FBI New York field office. McGonigal was tasked with investigating Russian collusion and Russian sanction violations.

McGonigal was sentenced to four-years in federal prison today for colluding with a Russian (Oleg Deripaska) to avoid sanctions.

As noted by Politico, “McGonigal, who lives in New York, was separately charged in federal court in Washington, D.C., with concealing at least $225,000 in cash he allegedly received from a former Albanian intelligence official while working for the FBI. He faces sentencing in that case on Feb. 16.

NEW YORK — A former top FBI counterintelligence official was ordered Thursday to spend over four years in prison for violating sanctions on Russia by going to work for a Russian oligarch seeking dirt on a wealthy rival after he finished his government career.

Charles McGonigal was sentenced to four years and two months in prison in Manhattan federal court by Judge Jennifer H. Rearden, who said McGonigal harmed national security by repeatedly flouting sanctions meant to put economic pressure on Russia to get results without military force. He was also fined $40,000.

When It Comes to U.S. Intelligence Community Claims, ie. Egypt Warning Israel, Apply Strong Cynicism


Posted originally on TCTH on October 12, 2023 | Sundanc

Apparently, some people have forgotten that American citizens are in an abusive relationship with our government.  A government that has demonstrably lied repeatedly and used the official institutions of the U.S. intelligence apparatus to do so [See reference of 50 former intel officials claiming Biden laptop was Russian disinformation].

So, allow me to walk through the process of the story attributed most recently to House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Mike McCaul, as relayed to him by DNI Avril Haines, an Obama operative inside the Biden administration, and broadcast to media.

McCaul claims the US Intelligence Community know that Egypt warned Israel of the pending Hamas attack.  Everything about this is sketchy in the extreme.  Senior Egyptian Intelligence officials state, without qualification, that such a warning never happened {link}, and Bibi Netanyahu has said it was fake news {link}.  I believe President Fattah Abdel al-Sisi and Prime Minister Netanyahu – here’s why.

First, don’t forget the geopolitical motives to disparage and diminish Egypt after they recently joined the BRICS economic alliance.

Second, don’t forget that following Obama and Clinton’s ill-fated attempt to install a Muslim Brotherhood leader in Egypt, Mohammed Morsi, General al-Sisi was forced to stop the Islamist Spring in Egypt.  That put Sisi on the opposite side of Obama, and years of manipulative disparagement ensued.   However, Sisi put his commitment to eradicating extremism -like Hamas- into action, not mere words {GO DEEP}.

In 2014, Sisi began destroying Hamas tunnels into Gaza from the Sinai region of Egypt.  {link} This was not a small task, as it was discovered that one-third of all buildings in the region contained tunnels into Gaza that were being used by Hamas terrorists. {link}  At the time, we called them al-Qaeda and ISIS, but they are all various factions of the extremist sentiment espoused by the Muslim Brotherhood.  Sisi kicked the Brotherhood out of Egypt {link}.  They fled to Qatar.

In retaliation, in early 2015 Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood put a fatwah on al-Sisi and called for Jihad against Egypt {link}. Against the backdrop of the first border opening between Egypt’s northern Sinai and Gaza, and against the ongoing efforts by the al-Sisi led coalition to move toward peace between Arabs and Israelis, the extremists strike back in 2017 with a horrific terrorist attack against the Al Rawdah mosque in Bir al-Abed, west of El Arish, the main city in North Sinai. 235 people were killed and hundreds more wounded {link}

Qatar has been a source of historic extremist and terrorist related problems for the Gulf Security Council and aforementioned Gulf States.

Here’s some historic background for context:

  • Qatar was the intermediary used by President Obama for covert arms and monetary transfers by the Obama CIA and Obama/Clinton State Department respectively.
  • Qatar was also the chosen home for detainees when President Obama released the GITMO terrorists.
  • Most importantly, however, is the relationship between Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood.  When Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi named the Muslim Brotherhood a terror organization, their leadership fled to safe harbor in Qatar.
  • {LINK}
el-sisi in Saudi

Egyptian President Fattah al-Sisi then began a months and years long assembly of Gulf Arab states (Gulf Security Council) to boycott Qatar, cut all diplomatic ties, and isolate them until they renounced terrorism and stopped providing safe harbor for extremists.

Eventually, Qatar acquiesced and sent the Muslim Brotherhood to Turkey.

President al-Sisi then asked Interpol to watch carefully and notify him if the Muslim Brotherhood were ever allowed to leave Turkey.  [Yeah, al-Sisi is a badass like that]

Recep Erdogan gave the Brotherhood safe harbor in Turkey.  Turkey is not an ally when it comes to the elimination of Islamic extremism.

al-Sisi’s record fighting against Islamic extremism is not in question.  He is a man who has seen the devastation created upon his people,and he has taken action- not words – to stand behind his effort.   The Islamists hate al-Sisi with a passion.

If Egypt says they did not warn Israel, I believe them.  If al-Sisi thought Hamas was going to launch a serious attack, he would have called Prime Minister Netanyahu directly. Both leaders say this did not happen.

Western, U.S., intelligence is saying that Bibi was warned by Egypt.  However, Egypt denies this.

With everything we know about U.S. intelligence operations, and considering their ideologues in the intelligence community have Obama/Biden motives to undermine Benjamin Netanyahu and install a controllable regime in Egypt, there’s no reason to believe this is not manufactured political intelligence intended to weaken Netanyahu at a moment of vulnerability.

In the world of the Obama ideologues, they “never let a crisis go to waste,” even when it involves the massacre of innocent men, women and children.  If they can undermine Netanyahu, to the benefit of their pro-Iran agenda, they will.

Do not forget all of the efforts the Obama/Biden team put into creating a crisis in the Israeli political system, and activating all resources to manipulate the public, and align with the opposition party inside Israel.

Mike McCaul is a useful idiot Republican, a member of the professional DC class of UniParty loyalists.  He’s not on the intelligence committee, yet as the Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, he received a “non-classified” political briefing alongside the Biden White House.  Think about that scenario.  Think internal tradecraft.

McCaul then did exactly what the tradecraft operators would expect him to after a “non-classified” briefing, he went to the media.  Duh!  Can you see it now? 

We are being manipulated.  We need to break this cycle of abuse via propaganda, by reminding ourselves about the history of how we have been abused.  Do not support the goals of those in the U.S. government who are aligned in sympathetic cause with the jihadists.

Lastly, I support the current efforts of Israel because: (a) they are targeting the correct enemy, and (b) because I disagree with the fundamental Muslim Brotherhood proposition that I should be killed.

Mike McCaul is a useful idiot!

Federal IRS Contractor Arrested for Stealing and Leaking President Trump Tax Returns, Also Stole Thousands of Tax Returns from U.S. Wealthiest People


Posted originally on the CTH on September 30, 2023 | Sundance 

There is no way you can convince me that a federal contractor unlawfully accessing the tax filings of a sitting U.S. President does not immediately send flags throughout the IRS system.

The amount of pretending needed not to see the background of this story is off the charts.

JUSTICE – An Internal Revenue Service (IRS) consultant was charged today with disclosing tax return information without authorization.

According to court documents, Charles Littlejohn, 38, of Washington, D.C., while working at the IRS as a government contractor, stole tax return information associated with a high-ranking government official (Public Official A) and disclosed it to a news organization (News Organization 1). Littlejohn also stole tax return information for thousands of the nation’s wealthiest individuals, and disclosed this tax return information to another news organization (News Organization 2).

Littlejohn is charged with one count of unauthorized disclosure of tax returns and return information. If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison. (read more)

Mitt Romney Says He Will Not Run for Reelection and Will Work to Block Trump in 2024


Posted originally on the CTH on September 13, 2023 | Sundance 

The approved Republican, ala a true DeceptiCON and man of lightly held stances, Mitt Romney, has announced he will not seek reelection in 2024.

During a video presentation announcing his decision, the conniving conman used the opportunity to disparage President Trump, and proclaim himself too old to run for reelection.  “It’s time for a new generation of leaders to step forward,” the Utah Senator said.   WATCH:

The announcement is not really a surprise as Romney was likely to face a serious primary challenge, and given his track record unlikely to win.

“Loser!”

White House Sends Media Instructions on How to Report About Congressional Impeachment Investigation


Posted originally on the CTH on September 13, 2023 | Sundance | 194 Comments

Can you even fathom the level of apoplexy that would have occurred if the executive branch under President Trump had dared to tell media how they must report on the impeachment process?   [READ LETTER HERE] The fact that the U.S. government would be issuing guidelines on how journalists must report on the Joe Biden impeachment inquiry is yet another example of how the Democrats in power control the media.

[Read Full Memo Here]

(Via CNN) – The White House sent a letter to top US news executives on Wednesday, urging them to intensify their scrutiny of House Republicans after Speaker Kevin McCarthy launched an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, despite having found no evidence of a crime.

“It’s time for the media to ramp up its scrutiny of House Republicans for opening an impeachment inquiry based on lies,” Ian Sams, a spokesperson for the White House Counsel’s Office, wrote in the letter, which was first obtained by CNN.

The letter, which said an impeachment inquiry with no supporting evidence should “set off alarm bells for news organizations,” was sent to executives helming the nation’s largest news organizations, including CNN, The New York Times, Fox News, the Associated Press, CBS News, and others, a White House official familiar with the matter said.

The White House giving instructions to the media only serves to make any media reporting look even more like “fake news.”  Then again, constructing chaos in order to perpetuate the goals of the radicals is a typical Alinsky play.

Create as much confusion as possible, label everything as disinformation, funnel all the voters to the places of MSM controlled review.  This appears to be the strategy.

Here We Go Again – CNN Promotes US Intel Report of Russian Disinformation


Posted originally on the CTH on August 25, 2023 | Sundance 

Today is a good time to remind everyone that CNN represents the public relations arm of the U.S State Department.

Two overlays: first, most non-U.S. government entities regard CNN as the state run media for the U.S. State Department, because it is. Second, the U.S. State Dept is the umbrella organization for most global CIA operations. In essence, the intel community reports that surface from CNN are from the State Dept/CIA.

In this latest example, the unnamed U.S. intelligence officials are once again promoting the proactive narrative that Russian FSB services are responsible for manipulating smaller networks of U.S. social media accounts, resulting in a disinformation program that flows upwards into mainstream media.

I find it interesting that the State Dept/CIA would push this narrative immediately following the suspicious reports of Yevgeny Prigozhin killed in a plane crash.

Washington, CNN – Russian intelligence is operating a systematic program to launder pro-Kremlin propaganda through private relationships between Russian operatives and unwitting US and western targets, according to newly declassified US intelligence.

US intelligence agencies believe that the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) is attempting to influence public policy and public opinion in the West by directing Russian civilians to build relationships with influential US and Western individuals and then disseminate narratives that support Kremlin objectives, obscuring the FSB’s role through layers of ostensibly independent actors.

“These influence operations are designed to be deliberately small scale, the overall goal being US [and] Western persons presenting these ideas, seemingly organic,” a US official authorized to discuss the material told CNN. “The co-optee influence operations are built primarily on personal relationships … they build trust with them and then they can leverage that to covertly push the FSB’s agenda.” (read more)

Of course, none of the article citations bear any fruit when reviewed.  However, that’s really not the point of the publication.  The point of CNN pushing the narrative is to support a domestic narrative engineering operation that will later surface.

Judge Howell’s Most Outrageous Order By Any Judge in History


Armstrong Economics Blog/Rule of Law Re-Posted Aug 17, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

District Court Judge in Washington DC, Beryl Alaine Howell,  is clearly out to get Trump and imprison him to interfere with the 2024 election. This person will most likely contribute to the separatist movement and the collapse of the United States. She was also the judge supervising the grand jury for special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections. Grand Jury proceedings are supposed to be secret. That did not matter to her.

On October 25, 2019, she bent over backward and ruled in favor of the House Judiciary Committee, seeking to impeach Trump by handing them the grand jury minutes. To pretend it was legal, she ruled that the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump was a judicial proceeding when Congress is not a judiciary. That violated the Separation of Power to transform Congress into the Judiciary constructively. She amended the Constitution of the United States without any such authority.

But in this newly unsealed document, not only did she deny President Trump any right to due process and to challenge the Twitter turnover order, which the DC Court of Appeals disgracefully upheld, but she also ordered Twitter to turn over the names of everyone who ever even click on a Trump post saying they liked it. This is so outrageous. She has violated everyone in the entire country of both Due Process of Law and their First Amendment Right to Free Speech. Allowing the government to now create lists of everyone in the country who clicked “like” with any of his posts that had nothing to do with the January 6th event is no longer a free country. Anyone who at any time clicked a like on any Twitter post by Trump has been prejudiced. Your civil rights have been flat outright violated. There should be a class action suit filed against her – NOW!

Howell should be impeached, as with every Court of Appeals Judge that upheld her. This is totally outrageous and NOT what anyone would expect from a non-Communist free democracy.  Enough is enough. This is disgraceful, and civilization ONLY survives when the rule of law prevails. She is out to imprison Trump, and to think that this will not result in major civil unrest is just ludicrous. Our computer has been projecting massive civil unrest on the horizon.

Personally, it is now starting to come into focus how dangerously close we are flirting with the decline and fall of the United States. EVERY Republican prosecutor and judge will now see a green light to do the same to Democrats. This is all becoming insane! This is also how Rome fell – one general against another general. Postumus split the Roman Empire and issued this coin restorer of Gaul. They separated from Rome, which they, too, saw as corrupt and unable to defend all the people. I was wondering why the model pinpointed 2023 10 years in advance. I guess we now know.
