COMMENT: Marty, you are one hell of a strategic lawyer. The NY Supreme Court either reads you or realizes that this AG will bankrupt the city if she starts seizing property and Trump wins in the appellate courts. It’s just brilliant. Let them sell his properties that will collapse in price and then sue for the original value.
You should be on our board.
All the best
UT
ANSWER: The New York State Supreme Court is probably getting negative feedback from the major banks and companies in NYC. I can confirm that people are exiting NYC because of this case. I would have preferred that they seized the property, sold it for $1, and then I would own NYC for a song. It was the perfect hedge. They would become liable for the maximum value so that it would have been selling at the top, and the government would have been the buyer.
As they say, you must be VERY careful about what you wish for.

Not a spoof. It’s a classic case of disparate impact lawfare at work. Auto manufacturers must be held accountable for making cars that black people want to steal.
It’s real. He really said that.
“But we have to go upstream, and we got to make sure that the automobiles are not so easy to steal that they are a tempting, attractive nuisance for young people. Right now we are investigating two major automakers because their cars are dramatically too easy to steal for young people.”

President Trump delivered remarks and took questions from the narrative engineers following a day in court defending against another Lawfare case.
Each case is intended to bleed the candidate of financial resources, overwhelm the psyche of his supporters and keep the target under attack. Sound familiar? It should. This is Alinsky tactics right from the rulebook, Rules for Radicals. Isolate, ridicule, marginalize.
Rule #13 “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.”
Do you see it now? WATCH:
.
Rules for Radicals
1. “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood.
2. “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.
3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.
4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.
5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing and will even suggest better ones.
7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news.
8. “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.
9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.
10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.” It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.
11. “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.
12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.
13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

The New York State appeals court waited until the last minute to intervene and rule substantial modifications to the lower court ruling. [SEE pdf Here]
The timing here is transparently political. The court could have intervened earlier with this decision but appears to have preferred to allow the Lawfare narrative the maximum amount of time to permeate the anti-Trump news cycle. However, faced with the reality of a full appellate review later this year collapsing and reversing the underlying case, the NY court had few options other than timing their intervention.
The appeals court lowered the bond amount to the maximum possible in real terms. Meaning the demand for a $454 million bond was never sustainable, explainable, or legally comprehensible under all precedent. In reality it was an impossible bond for any organization to obtain, and ultimately that issue was going to lead to massive legal consequences within the New York state legal system. They might hate Trump, but without intervention New York would be collapsing their corporate business structure.
The lower court ruling was stayed, and the bond was lowered to an obtainable $175 million for the appeal. The lower court ruling against Trump organization officers was also stayed, allowing the corporate leadership of the various Trump organization LLCs to remain as they are. All of the substantive elements of Judge Engoron’s verdict were stayed, pending appeal.
Attorney General Letitia James was left only with a public relations narrative to sell, saying in part, “the $464 million judgment — plus interest — against Donald Trump and the other defendants still stands.” Duh, pending appeal – which is transparently obvious and the point therein.
Once again, Lawfare at its root is a narrative weapon used primarily to sway public opinion. AG James statement in response to the appeals court intervention is essentially an affirmation of this reality.
Appearing in New York to defend against another Lawfare operation, President Trump spoke briefly to the media after the ruling was made public.
.
The hardline leftists always end up with a case of the ‘outcome sads’, because they do not accept the nature of Lawfare intent. However, the non-sheeple democrats and independents are eyes-wide-open to how this Lawfare nonsense works. Hence, President Trump climbing in the polling.
“It’s the beginning of the end.” or “The walls are closing in.” or, “__ fill in the blank __.”
Politico – […] The ruling — issued by a panel of the Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court — means the civil fraud case could remain effectively frozen through the November election. The panel told Trump’s lawyers to prepare his case to be presented at the court’s September term, and any decision on the merits of the appeal could take weeks or months. (More)

Dan Goldman is a Lawfare trust fund millionaire who was installed in Congress specifically to construct Lawfare arguments during testimony and defend Obama/Biden’s interests. Before taking office, Goldman was the outside government Lawfare counselor selected by the impeachment committee to question witnesses. That’s his sole purpose, and the reason for existing.
After entering Congress, via New York, Goldman continues his Lawfare objectives from inside government. Today, Goldman’s target was former Hunter Biden business partner Tony Bobulinski, who was giving testimony about the Biden family financial schemes. At the conclusion of Goldman’s parseltongue, Bobulinski called him “a liar.” The Lawfare leftists are big mad. WATCH:

It’s a little funny, but trying not to be outdone, AOC applied the same confrontational style. The problem is that AOC is at an intellectual disadvantage; it didn’t go too well.

People have asked me why I have remained relatively quiet about the legal issue and targeting of Peter Navarro by a weaponized DOJ and Congress. I will explain in greater detail after the news from today.
Peter Navarro was a former adviser to President Trump and the lead of the coronavirus task force. Yesterday, Chief Justice John Roberts issued a short opinion rejecting Navarro’s effort to have the Supreme Court intervene and stay his sentence.
Mr. Navarro was charged with contempt of Congress, and was prosecuted by the DOJ and convicted in September of two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to provide testimony and documents to the J6 House Select Committee investigating the protest at the U.S. Capitol. [Note, most of you know I received a similar subpoena from them, so I have a slightly different perspective than most.]
[…] Navarro spoke Tuesday morning in a strip mall in West Miami near the prison where he will serve four months. “I will walk proudly in there to do my time,” Navarro said. “I will gather strength from this: Donald John Trump is the nominee.” Navarro called the case an “unprecedented assault on the constitutional separation of powers.” (media story) WATCH:
.
I have a great deal of sympathy for Navarro. I firmly believe he was unfairly targeted by the J6 committee and a weaponized DOJ who were looking for any opportunity to target people in Donald Trump’s orbit – including Navarro and Steve Bannon. I regard Navarro as a really awesome ally, and functionally very smart and apt at the responsibilities he held in the White House. Navarro is a good man.
Navarro was charged with failure to provide testimony and documents to Congress. Navarro argued that executive privilege covered his refusal to provide testimony and documents.
The executive privilege that covers private conversation is held by President Trump and cannot be, should not be, waived by any advisor to the president. However, there is a key element in the executive privilege aspect that is mostly overlooked by righteous pundits and conservative analysts as it pertains specifically to Navarro.
Notice how there has been no report of Peter Navarro asking President Trump or his legal counselors if they would agree to waive privilege in regard to his conversations and communication with the office of the president. Apparently, Navarro never asked POTUS or the legal team if compliance with the subpoena was diligent from the perspective of the executive. The absence of this approach is key and is part of my angst with the Navarro targeting.
Navarro never held any information, content, communication with, or conversation with President Trump that represented a threat to the president. There simply wasn’t any conversation that would put the office of the presidency at risk, nor Donald Trump himself, if he gave testimony about conversation, while being represented by his lawyers and the legal representative of President Trump’s stood by to monitor the testimony and guard the executive privilege.
Secondly, the documents could be -and likely were- obtained by the J6 committee through electronic retrieval on their own. On the document issue, it’s almost certain the committee issued subpoenas to email providers, cell phone providers, etc. and had the documentary information anyway. The J6 lawyers would be looking for Navarro to filter, delete, hide or ¹change a document…. not as much the content therein. The legal risk within documents, assuming that Navarro never advocated for anything illegal, is simply a risk from non-production. That’s it. [SEE, Trump #1 RULE: If you don’t want documents used against you, don’t create them.]
[¹Remember, that’s what burned George Papadopoulos]
Again, the J6 people can -I would guarantee did- retrieve every document they wanted; the non-production by the target is a silly hill to die on. The truth has no agenda, nor can the truth be a weapon, if the truth of the documents did not present a legal threat by themselves. Considering that Navarro is *not* the principal holder of the privilege, this non-production is like shooting yourself in the foot.
Had Navarro simply asked the White House and President Trump legal counsel about whether he should comply or not, and then put the burden of executive privilege on them, it would be the White House and the full weight of the Office of the Presidency defending Navarro from testimony and representing Trump’s legal interests.
I hope people can grasp what I am saying.
Ask the principal, that’s Donald Trump, if he wants to apply executive privilege. If he does not, then give honest testimony about facts, conversations and events that present no legal threat to the principal. The only reason to avoid this simple process is – I believe in this instance – the pride, ego and a willingness to enter into a fight where all the power is aligned against you.
I understand why being targeted by a weaponized government makes a person feel intensely angered and would trigger the fight instinct. However, prudence, calm thoughts and reasonable intelligent thinking can ensure that BRUTAL HONESTY, which is to say carefully applied and strategic “extreme compliance,” is the best weapon against the bastards.
Peter Navarro is a good man, a very good man, who unfortunately made some strategic legal mistakes. I have a great deal of sympathy for Peter Navarro and feel he has been very unjustly targeted.

The video above is an accurate depiction of how Millennials and Gen Z are operating in today’s economy. They were told that working hard and obtaining a higher education could afford the American Dream. Instead, they are unable to access home ownership, begin families, and are crippled by debt. Analysts now seem perplexed at the birthrate crisis and why the younger generations are not having families. Those unfamiliar with stark differences in the cost of living over the last few decades do not understand that the promises made to the younger generations were built on lies.
The ad above was put forth by Coinbase, and while I have explained that crypto is NOT the solution, I do believe the solution will begin when the younger generations rise up. Those in Congress will not live to see the implications of the bills they pass. Once upon a time, a family could live comfortably on a salary of one. The head of the household need not have an extravagant job to support a family, as a worker at a factory could manage to supply his family with all they needed.
Even in 1985, when the average person in the Baby Boomer generation turned 30, the average home in America was $82,800. In 2019, when Millennials turned 30, the average home price soared to $313,000. Gen Z is looking at a home price over $400,000. Now, the average income in the 1980s was around $23,464, meaning it would only take a few years to pay off a home that continued to appreciate in value. Yet we must factor in everything such as the price of tuition, inflation (goods, food, energy), the need for dual income and childcare services. There are endless variables but it all leads to a dead-end American dream for the youth.
This year, 2024, begins a sharp change in sentiments and a directional change followed by a major turning point in 2025. I have not seen the computer project something like this since 1985. Four of six models show a Trump victory, but the establishment simply will not let him win. Neither side will accept defeat, and we are looking at massive civil unrest paired with a war that will likely escalate over the summer months prior to the election that may be the last election held in the US. The computer shows real GDP in the US will decline into 2028, and inflation will rise due to international wars that produce absolutely nothing.
The Great Reset set for 2030 is NOT the solution, and their plan will fail. The world will change by 2032, but not due to the Great Reset. We are looking at the collapse of republican forms of government. By the time we get to 2032, that will be the light at the end of the tunnel. The USA will eventually break into three primary regions: 2) the South & Midwest Bible Belt will join together against, 2) the Northeast, and 3) the Pacific States will be their own la-la-land. The volatility will begin in 2024, but by 2032, the United States of America will not exist as it does today. The dollar will no longer be the reserve currency, as the yen will take its place. This does not mean that the world is ending, but rather, revolution is coming as the current system is collapsing before our eyes.
