An Open Letter to Governor Ron DeSantis, The December 1st Collusion Between AG Bill Barr and the AP Provides a Stark Warning


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 28, 2021 | Sundance | 367 Comments

Governor Ron DeSantis, the information highlighted in the example below is provided as affirmation to what you likely already know; however, I provide the enhanced granular background to contemplate as you look toward the horizon.  This information is provided publicly because there is a purposeful reason to continue pulling back the curtain for a larger electoral awakening.

As a former congressman you know the duplicity of the bureaucratic federal system that you left behind.  The traditional framework of three co-equal branches of government has been usurped by a larger and deeper network now represented by terminology describing the intelligence community.  The example below highlights just one way the system is self-protecting.

On October 19, 2020, former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr appointed John Durham as special prosecutor under authorities provided by DOJ regulations [28 cfr 600].  However, AG Bill Barr did not tell the public at the time of the appointment.  Within the original appointment AG Barr notes the reason for doing this quietly [Page 2, Paragraph (e)]:

“Pursuant to 28 C.F.R. § 600.9(b), I have determined that the notification requirement … should be tolled until at least after the November 3, 2020 election because legitimate and investigative privacy concerns warrant confidentiality.“

In essence, AG Bill Barr stated he did not want to impact the 2020 presidential election with a notification to congress or the public of this appointment.  While the justification for this approach is clearly within the unspoken rules of the DOJ not wanting to give the impression of interference in political elections, we must also accept these unspoken DOJ rules only flow in one direction – when Democrat party politicians need to be protected.

However, beyond the justification for not informing the public that U.S. Attorney John Durham was now empowered with special prosecutor authorities before the 2020 presidential election, there are much bigger issues that surface; and this must be accepted and discussed in its purposeful totality.

♦ Notification of the special prosecutor appointment did not surface until December 1, 2020, when AP journalist Michael Balsamo first wrote about it (SEE HERE).  Based on a recent widely-viewed article published in the Atlantic, we now know Balsamo was summoned by AG Barr to Main Justice for an informal lunch were several issues were discussed: “Barr’s betrayal came on December 1, over lunch in the attorney general’s private dining room with Michael Balsamo, a Justice Department beat reporter at the Associated Press.” (link)

The most recent headlines surround AG Bill Barr telling Mr. Balsamo: “To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election,”  thus the current narrative du jour.  However, in hindsight we can now enhance the background of that Dec. 1st meeting between AG Bill Barr and AP journalist Michael Balsamo to include the attorney general informing the AP about the appointment of John Durham as a special prosecutor.   Balsamo wrote about the Durham appointment on that exact date, December 1, 2020.

The reason for drawing your attention to the timeline is to emphasize the nature of how the DOJ, in this example AG Bill Barr, coordinates with specific intent to make certain information public at certain times, while holding back information that may be adverse to DOJ interests which are often political.

Additionally, and very importantly, do not let it go without emphasis how a special prosecutor appointment would NEVER remain secret, without leaks, from personnel within the larger DOJ institution who are in close and frequent contact with their allies in the media.

Given the scope of known leaks from the DOJ is it almost certain the New York Times, Washington Post and Politico knew of the October 19th appointment, but did not report on it because the background material was adverse to their collective interests.

Now, please allow me to highlight the obvious and more alarming political motive; this is where a larger understanding of duplicity becomes even more important.

♦ We find out on December 1st (after the election) that AG Bill Barr previously appointed John Durham as a special counsel to investigate criminal matters on October 19, 2020.  AG Bill Barr notified the Associated Press (Michael Balsamo) and the Senate Judiciary Committee on the *exact same day.  The sequence is: Barr tells the media, then Barr tells congress:

*It is critical to understand how the DOJ system operates at a political level -when they have a very specific political intent- while noting the dates of activity and the dates of notification of that activity; two very different dynamics.

Given the background of information on how Bill Barr operated as a U.S. Attorney General, we can now see the specific intent for the AG to appoint Durham on that specific date, in that specific way.

(1) The shift in the investigative definition/authority now locked down President Trump from demanding the pre-election release of any information that might touch upon the Durham special counsel purview.  Any request by President Trump would now be met with the familiar shield of an “ongoing investigation“.  You will note this was one of the primary purposes of the Rod Rosenstein appointed Robert Mueller special counsel, and this shield was deployed against the office of the President numerous times when the president requested information be made public.   The administrative state is self-protecting.

(2) Notice the date of the appointment, October 19, 2020.  This date blocked the President from demanding public release and simultaneously fell just 93 days before the Biden inauguration of Jan 20, 2021.  This provided Joe Biden one week to use the 100 day back-look nullification of executive branch action.  In essence, Biden could have easily ended the Durham probe if he wanted.  Strategic timing.

(3) Additionally, notice how AG Bill Barr provided another exit if needed. Under DOJ regulations [28 cfr 600]  a special counsel must come from “outside government“; John Durham was not outside government and did not resign his position prior to the appointment.  Bill Barr gave the appearance of a special counsel appointment while knowing the legal validity could easily collapse upon challenge (if the Biden administration choose):

§ 600.3 Qualifications of the Special Counsel.

“(a) An individual named as Special Counsel shall be a lawyer with a reputation for integrity and impartial decisionmaking, and with appropriate experience to ensure both that the investigation will be conducted ably, expeditiously and thoroughly, and that investigative and prosecutorial decisions will be supported by an informed understanding of the criminal law and Department of Justice policies. The Special Counsel shall be selected from outside the United States Government. Special Counsels shall agree that their responsibilities as Special Counsel shall take first precedence in their professional lives, and that it may be necessary to devote their full time to the investigation, depending on its complexity and the stage of the investigation.” (link)

Obviously Bill Barr is a smart man. He would know the regulations he cites would require the special counsel to come from “outside the U.S. government,” thus such a simple flaw cannot be looked upon as anything except purposeful.

(4) If the 2020 election outcome did not remove President Trump, notice the special counsel appointment would have continued to hamstring him and keep the administrative state protected from sunlight.  Yet, another insurance policy put into place amid a variety of DOJ and FBI insurance policies deployed.

Everything within the Durham appointment as special counsel, the timing, the justification for secrecy, the manner & method, and later the way it was revealed through AP journalist Michael Balsamo points to a coordinated strategy.   Note the “kick the can” aspect to the strategy began well before the 2020 election.

Returning to the original -albeit hidden at the time- date of the appointment… October 19, 2020, someone around President Trump was informed about the shift in the Durham probe to a special counsel; and someone justified to the president why that special counsel would remain hidden.  Perhaps Bill Barr himself, but I doubt it.  It is more likely a ‘high level’ DOJ official put the spin on the appointment to someone like Mark Meadows or the White House counsel.

How do we know that President Trump was informed, manipulated and conned?…

Listen to this very specific speech segment he gave on October 19, 2020, the exact date of Durham becoming a special prosecutor, from Prescott Arizona:

The Cackle Queen is a Laughing Stock

Kamala’s Border Leadership …

Kamala finally made the trip to the border, although it was really just the airport in El Paso.

During Trump’s speech on Saturday he mentioned that Biden had violated his oath by not protecting our borders. In other words, China Joe failed to protect America. In fact, Biden encouraged illegal aliens to pour in and get free stuff on the taxpayer’s dime.

That’s exactly what they did—they’ve been arriving in droves and from many countries—not just Central American ones. Biden ordered those caught to be released. Kamala concurred. That is, she did before she became Vice Resident. Now she’s changed her tune and weakly asked them all not to come.

Trump was adamant about closing our southern border. He began construction on walls. Ice and the Border Patrol were allowed to do their jobs. Trump sent out a strong message and the flow of ‘migrants’ dwindled.

Kamala made a half-hearted attempt to visit the border, but all she did was visit El Paso. In reality it’s most likely she wants to keep the borders open. She and Joe know the illegal newcomers will most likely illegally vote for Democrats. The Socialist Democrats may be in for surprise though. Many Mexican Americans side with Trump because he represents law and order. Latinos have strong family and religious values. They could be voting Republican in the mid-terms. They know an open border invites crime including child abuse, women getting raped, and a giant influx of drugs and crime. Americans, regardless of ethnicity, don’t want that.

They also don’t want cackling Kamala in office.

TAXES & the Risks Associated with The Infrastructure Deal


Armstrong Economics Blog/The Hunt for Taxes Re-Posted Jun 28, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

This bipartisan deal on new infrastructure spending that President Biden has reached this week with a group of “moderate” Democrats and “liberal” Republicans in the Senate represents a significant departure with respect to the Internal Revenue Service. Hidden within the claimed “infrastructure bill” you find $40 billion to beef up the IRS to hunt down everyone they can once again. The Biden White House is out to attack not the super-rich because they have everything in foundations and trusts which are tax-exempt. They will be targeting small businesses and harass them further if they survived the lockdowns. Those that did not will be investigated for fraud.

Lerner Lois

The budget of the IRS was reduced because they were abusing their power back in 2010. The IRS has seen its budget shrink by one-fifth between 2010 and 2018. It was not just Obama targeting the Tea Party. It was Republicans which included John McCain – the same guy who handed Comey Hillary’s fake dossier on Trump.

Perhaps you will recall  Lois Lerner who was the IRS former executive who was at the heart of a scandal involving the deliberate targeting of political opponents of the Obama administration. The DOJ waited for almost two years to dispose of this case quietly with never a prosecution even after Lerner herself apologized for targeting Tea Party groups. Those in government service who violate the law which is for the benefit of the government are NEVER prosecuted for their crimes.

Today, we have five “moderate” Republican senators who have unleashed the IRS once again to resume its biased political attacks of targeting people for tax evasion. These Republicans have signed off on the deal but they have betrayed their own party for allowing this to be covered up. The investigative news outlet ProPublica published a story based on a vast trove of leaked confidential tax data for the richest Americans. The IRS is at it again.

This is why the Founding Fathers prohibited direct taxation which Congress repealed in 1913.  Once you have direct taxation, they can bankrupt anyone by simply launching a massive tax investigation and your legal bills will go through the roof and they are doing it simply for political purposes. This is why I have been in favor of REPEALING the income tax and replace it with an indirect tax such as a national sales tax. They used the tax code to imprison Al Capone.

Alphonse Gabriel “Al” Capone rose to infamy as a gangster in Chicago during the 1920s and early 1930s.

The government prosecutors wanted Al Capone the same as people who want to hunt or fish and score a big one. They targeted Capone for everything and anything. Capone and his bodyguard were arrested in Philadelphia for carrying concealed deadly weapons and within less than one day they were sentenced to one year in prison without a public trial. Capone was released on March 17, 1930. Then on February 28, 1931, Capone was found guilty in federal court on a contempt of court charge and was sentenced to six months in Cook County Jail. His appeal was of course dismissed. There is no power more abused than the contempt of court charge where the person who accuses you then judges and sentences you without any independent observation.

The Department of Justice prosecutors, unable to bring a criminal case, called in the U.S. Treasury Department which developed a case for tax evasion. They used taxes to go after all the mobsters because they could not find any other evidence to prosecute them on. Therefore, they used tax evasion against Al Capone, his brother Ralph “Bottles” Capone, Jake “Greasy Thumb” Guzik, Frank Nitti, and other mobsters. Finally, on June 16, 1931, Al Capone was charged and pled guilty to tax evasion and prohibition charges based upon a deal for a two-and-a-half-year sentence.

However, the same presiding judge who sentenced Capone for contempt, James Herbert Wilkerson (1869–1948), informed Capone he was not bound by any such deal. Capone then changed his plea to not guilty. Wilkerson was not about to let Capone off easy despite the fact they could not charge him with a serious crime. The prohibition was repealed by FDR 2 years later. On October 18, 1931, Capone was convicted after a mock trial, and on November 24, Judge Wilkerson sentenced him to eleven years in federal prison, fined $50,000, and charged $7,692 for court costs, in addition to $215,000 plus interest due on back taxes. The six-month contempt of court sentence was at least served concurrently. Wilkerson hated Capone and made the case abuse of process carried out by a biased judge.

Capone was confined to the Cook County Jail and of course a political case of this nature had all appeals denied. Capone entered the U.S. Penitentiary in Atlanta, serving his sentence there, and was then transferred to the infamous Alcatraz. It was alleged that Capone was denied medical treatment which is really on par for high-profile cases. On November 16, 1939, Al Capone was released after having served seven years, six months, and fifteen days, and having paid all fines and back taxes. His health deteriorated greatly during his confinement. Immediately on release, Capone entered a Baltimore hospital for brain treatment. He was released and moved to his Florida home, an estate on Palm Island in Biscayne Bay near Miami. He never recovered and died with his family due to a stroke and pneumonia on January 25, 1947. Such is the fate of high-profile cases in America.

If it were not for the INCOME TAX, Al Capone would never have gone to prison. Even Prohibition was a failed experiment that actually made the Mafia. The Mafia was respected among the Italian community because they would even counterfeit food ratios during World War I to ensure the community was fed and did not starve.

It was making liquor illegal that created a profitable opportunity for the Mafia which in the United States was entirely different from that in Sicily. Indeed, in Sicily, the term “mafioso” had no criminal connotations and was used to refer to a person who was suspicious of central authority – an anti-government faction. During the 19th century, some of these groups emerged as private armies to protect the people from the government. This evolved where some began to extorted protection money from landowners to protect them from the corrupt government. Eventually, some factions became violent criminal organizations which turning the original protection into a means to extort money which then began the Sicilian Mafia. The American Mafia, however, did not rise to power until the prohibition and they too began as an admired protector of the people.

Protestors Block the Nova Scotia-New Brunswick Border


Armstrong Economics Blog/Canada Re-Posted Jun 28, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Civil unrest is rising in Canada due to Trudeau’s tyranny. Transit between the border of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick was closed for nearly a day after the Nova Scotia government announced that those traveling from New Brunswick would be forced to self-quarantine upon arrival. The decision was announced only a day after Novia Scotia’s government agreed to open borders with P.E.I. and Newfoundland and Labrador with no quarantine or testing requirements. “Families have been split apart for months and months and months and looking for that to finally come to an end today. And then at the last minute, the 11th hour, having that dashed? Extremely, extremely disappointing,” one protestor said, pointing out the harm that the border closure to New Brunswick has caused.

Protestors even blocked a truck from entering with what was believed to be COVID-19 vaccines. In a video circling the internet, you can see protestors standing in front of the truck and demanding to know if it is carrying experimental COVID vaccines. The people are livid. Eyes are beginning to open as people realize how much control the government has over their lives, wielding the power to change the rules at any time. You can only push the people so far before they begin to fight back. “If the government can state we can’t do these things against our Charter of Rights, we are going in protest to say, ‘No, it’s not acceptable.’ You can’t keep hanging a carrot in front of all of your people and then yanking the carrot away. You can’t keep giving false promises. Lie after lie,” another protestor demanded. This is all in line with our computer’s forecast – the people no longer trust their governments.

Thousands Protesting in London – It’s All for Nothing without Freedom!


Armstrong Economics Blog/BRITAIN Re-Posted Jun 27, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Thousands are marching in protest once more in London and as usual, you have to turn to RT of the Russians to get the truth. Sources have been warning that Johnson wants to use the variants arising to impose lockdowns into the Spring of 2022 and it is really for the Great Reset and a climate lockdown pretending it is COVID. For once, the BBC has reported there even was a protest.  I suspect that this ONLY took place because protesters began to chase a BBC journalist who allegedly betrayed his own people. The London Mirror called it “Terrifying scenes as BBC journalist chased by anti-lockdown ‘mob’ during protest – Prime Minister Boris Johnson condemned the actions of anti-lockdown protesters who harassed BBC journalist Nick Watt and called the footage ‘deeply disturbing’.” If it were not for that “terrifying” act, the BBC would never report the protest. These journalists clearly do not know their history for it will become terrifying when they start dragging journalists out and hanging them as they did during the Russian Revolution

The real question is simple. When will the journalists STOP the fake news are actually report the truth instead of putting the lives of everyone at risk and our economic future? The view that mainstream media is all FAKE NEWS is not confined to Donald Trump. This is a worldwide crisis in the media and free speech.

Greta Says Democracy is Precious & not even Climate Change Should Cancel That


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate Re-Posted Jun 27, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Greta actually for once says Democracy is precious and not even Climate Change should sweep that aside. 

She makes it clear that World Leaders have NO RIGHT to impose restrictions absent the vote of the People!

Greta without a script written for her by Green Peace’s Jeniffer Morgan? My bet World Leaders will not pretend to listen to her now!

CDC Data Highlights COVID Vaccination is More Dangerous than COVID Infection for Young Adults


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 26, 2021 | Sundance | 150 Comments

According to the CDC data for every 100,000 young people vaccinated 700 will require medical care and 200 will be hospitalized.  Put another way, 200 young people will suffer side-effects that require hospitalization for every 100,000 vaccinations administered.  However, also according to the CDC data, the CDC estimates that only about 50 out of 100,000 adolescents have EVER been hospitalized for Covid-related illness.

That means the rate of hospitalization from the COVID vaccine is four times greater than the rate of hospitalization from exposure to the virus itself.

Why would any young person in their right mind increase their risk of hospitalization by taking the vaccine?

Alex Berenson dove into the CDC analysis after the CDC study was made public [SEE HERE].

Berenson – […] The CDC’s focus yesterday was on two illnesses, myocarditis and pericarditis, forms of heart inflammation that can occasionally progress to heart failure and even death. The CDC and many reporters insist on calling the cases mild. In fact 95 percent of the 300+ post-vaccination cases the CDC has reviewed have led to hospitalization.

[…] In fact, the CDC’s own data shows that for every 100,000 vaccines given to young people, more than 25,000 will have temporary side effects that prevent them from “normal activities,” 700 will require medical care and 200 will be hospitalized.   In contrast, the CDC estimates that only about 50 out of 100,000 adolescents have EVER been hospitalized for Covid-related illness.

Of course, not everyone has gotten Covid – the CDC estimates that about 1/3 of Americans have. (Most never had a positive test, and many never even knew.) Thus, if EVERYONE got Covid, it is reasonable to assume the 50 Covid hospitalizations out of 100,000 adolescents rate might be about three times as high – or 150 per 100,000.

But even the 150 per 100,000 rate is LOWER than the 200 per 100,000 rate of adolescents who are hospitalized in the first week after being vaccinated.

In other words, even if vaccinations stopped every case of Covid in 12-17 year olds forever, and even if they never had side effects after the first week, it is hard to see how the risk-benefit ratio supports vaccination. (read more)

Massive Street Protests Continue in London Against COVID Lockdown Rules


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 26, 2021 | Sundance | 51 Comments

Thousands of people descended on London’s Hyde Park on Saturday afternoon in the latest round of protests against Covid lockdown measures. The crowds marched through Oxford Street before gathering at Hyde Park while holding banners, placards and flags. The crowds of protesters (bottom left and bottom centre) marched through Oxford Street, Regent Street, Hyde Park and Northumberland Avenue as they held placards reading ‘freedom is not for trade’, ‘no to Covid vaccine’ and ‘no to the Covid passport’.

Demonstrators also made their way to Downing Street, with crowds setting off flares and chanting loudly with people heard shouting “shame on you” and pointing towards Number 10, followed by prolonged booing. Shirley Jones, a librarian from Crystal Palace, said: “I’d rather be doing something else with my weekend but I’m going to keep coming on these protests because I don’t trust what the Government is doing.

Biden Wants Newborns to get COVID Vaccine in 2022


Armstrong Economics Blog/Vaccine Re-Posted Jun 25, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Even the Wall Street Journal has admitted that the vaccines carry a greater risk than the politicians are saying. Will Twitter now ban the WSJ from ever posting along with BigTech? There have been reports of teenagers dying from heart attacks after being vaccinated. The CDC quietly said it will look into the heart problems emerging in teenagers after vaccination. The CDC has now admitted that there is a likely connection between heart problems and vaccines among teenagers. I suppose Twitter and YouTube will have to ban the CDC now.

Already there are 1200 teenagers with heart problems from the vaccines. Everyone is vaccinated and there are massive deaths among them, what will Biden say? Oh sorry, we didn’t know? This is my problem. That will cross the line and I do see an armed insurrection against politicians in such an event since they exaggerated the January 6th event they might as well bring guns this time. Politicians are taking untested experimental drugs and forcing them on everyone without any guidance that there may be serious interactions with other medicine or some people may be predisposed to such dangers. What about the people dead or injured from these vaccines. They are just “collateral damage” like killing countless babies, more than those kill in Hiroshima, by invading Iraq? The callousness of how politicians look down upon us, the great unwashed, is beyond description.

There no excuse for this behavior. They are blind by all the bribes and rhetoric manufacture like the Build Back Better slogan created by the World Economic Forum. There should be someone standing between the drug companies and the people but all we have is Fauci who is compromised and Babylon Bee did a piece of 17 versions of Fauci debating himself because he changes his statement routinely.

The World Health Organization (WHO) put out the truth that anyone with an objective mind could have obtained by simply reading uncensored information. The WHO is saying not to vaccinate children.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has changed the narrative yet again by stating that children should not receive COVID-19 vaccinations. “There is not yet enough evidence on the use of vaccines against COVID-19 in children to make recommendations for children to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Children and adolescents tend to have a milder disease compared to adults,” the agency admitted. Their advice is in direct contrast with countless governments that are encouraging parents to vaccinate their children. Who would have thought that injecting children with an experimental mRNA concoction was a bad idea? I suppose Big Pharma forgot to include the WHO in their weekly payroll.

UPDATE: The WHO quietly removed the portion on not vaccinating children from their website on June 23 with no mention as to why. Check the website’s web archive (or the screenshot above), and it will show that the WHO was in fact warning parents and guardians not to vaccinate children. There have been no major studies over the past few days, and there is no valid reason for the agency removing the previous guideline. I guess they are back on the Big Pharma payroll.

The WHO likely got flack for that because their previously updated guideline went against what the politicians were saying. John Hopkins is telling people to get their children vaccinated. The CDC recommends everyone 12 years and older should get a COVID-19 vaccination to help protect against COVID-19. Worse still, the Biden Administration wants to go down to infants and newborns in 2022.

The WHO has advised that even if you get vaccinated:

  • Keep at least 1 metre from others
  • Wear a mask, especially in crowded, closed and poorly ventilated settings.
  • Clean your hands frequently
  • Cover any cough or sneeze in your bent elbow
  • When indoors with others, ensure good ventilation, such as by opening a window

Doing it all protects us all.

Meanwhile, a reader, HA, sent this in:

COMMENT: Good afternoon, Mr. Armstrong. I’ve been following your work for more than a decade and can’t tell you how appreciative I am of the information you are sharing and disseminating. Given the forecasted uptick in disease for 2022 and the potential for the vaccines to be related, I wanted to share this article with you. This is exactly what many scientists are predicting. Here is a quote:

“The virus will effectively outsmart the highly specific antigen-based vaccines being used and tweaked, depending on the circulating variants. All of this could lead to a hockey stick-like increase in serious and potentially lethal cases — in effect, an out-of-control pandemic.” Please disseminate as you see fit.

We just do not know what is really going on. Who is right and who is wrong. If the US could send 500 million vaccines to needy countries, then why did they have such excess when there are only 300 million people in the USA? Pfizer is charging the U.S. $19.50 per dose. They intend to up the charge to $150 per shot. That is a ton of money and where there is that much money, there is ALWAYS kickbacks and bribes. Giving away 500 million doses is worth $9,750,000,000. That is more than enough to spread the wealth in Washington.

This has emerged as a life & death issue and politics should not be involved or compromised. Biden’s push for 70% of Americans to be vaccinated for a disease that has a 99.5% survival rate is just dumbfounding. It makes no sense. They took the bait of Bill Gates and cannot now admit that they were wrong.
