Interesting Political Attendee Offered Invitation to Elitist Sun Valley Summit of Billionaire Tech and Media Moguls


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 7, 2021 | Sundance | 159 Comments

The elite annual invite-only conference in Sun Valley, Idaho is thrown by investment bank Allen & Company. The SV21 conference brings together the like-minded ideologues who narrate the world events they shape for domestic and international audiences.

Big Tech owners, operators and executives rub shoulders with those who control the content of media and the massive investment bankers who finance them. All these billionaires with an estimated wealth beyond half a trillion dollars gather together and outline their collective agenda. It is a very private affair.

This year, according to Variety and The Daily Mail, there was only one 2024 political candidate invited. One conniving, manipulative and a well-known politician who has been maneuvering for years toward her objective in securing the White House by any means needed; former South Carolina Governor and former U.N. Ambassador, Nikki Haley.

Obviously her invitation speaks to the intent of the participants. However, after widespread initial reporting, it was also later stated that Nikki Haley would not be in attendance.

Perhaps the visible motive behind a singular invite would be a little too transparent?

Knowing the world of these conniving schemers, Suspicious Cat remains, well, suspicious…

Migration Continues


Armstrong Economics Blog/Population Re-Posted Jul 7, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

A friend had renovated a house on the intercostal, and after three years of work, she put it up for sale, more than doubling her money, and she received her first offer within one hour of listing. The flight from California and New York has been extensive. They are telling the idiots left behind that they better start making better choices in how they vote. A friend in Southern California has left because the Democrats have unleashed illegal immigrants who have destroyed the state, and they see no hope of the California Dream returning. In California, the government has even allowed male inmates to move to women’s prisons because they claim to identify as women.

The running joke is that some blacks are demanding $14 trillion in reparation payments for their ancestors being slaves. Well, in California, others can get in line to receive a reparation payment claiming they “identify” as “black” in California. I suppose Elizabeth Warren will be in line still claiming she has a 1% diverse ethnic background somehow.

The Pelosi Wall is Still Up – Why the Welfare State Will Collapse


Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics Re-Posted Jul 7, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Washington DC is still closed, and the Pelosi Wall is still up. Despite everything they portray on TV, Pelosi is keeping Capitol Hill behind her wall because she knows the agenda they are trying to push, although she really does not have even 50.4% approval. She has not given up on selling out America. Her dream of creating a welfare state where the people are 100% dependent upon the government, historically, does not work. Even the Romans discovered once they created a welfare program in 133 BC that they could NEVER end it without a civil uprising.

This reminds me of how Rome fell. They created a free grain program and took the rights of the people away to vote. Nevertheless, even after Rome fell, the Barbarians still had to maintain the free food for Romans or risk mob rule. No army outnumbers the population, and if the people rise up in civil unrest, the government will fall. This is a sestertius of Nerva celebrating that the emperor is providing free food to everyone in the city of Rome.

What is never really talked about is that the free food applied only to the city of Rome. Therefore, this attracted the poor from the rural communities, and as they raised taxes, the rich left. They managed to destroy Rome by chasing out the rich who created the jobs and innovations and replaced them with the welfare class. These two policies destroyed the Roman Empire weakening it from the inside, which allowed the barbarians to invade.

Nancy Pelosi Directs Capitol Hill Security Police Units to Regional Offices in California and Florida, Future Locations Coming


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 6, 2021 | Sundance | 504 Comments

In a remarkable display of how committed the Democrat party is to utilizing the narrative of domestic extremism for their own benefit, Nancy Pelosi is placing satellite field offices for the DC Capitol Police in key regions around the country.  When we consider the FBI has field offices all over the country, you might ask: why does the Capitol Hill police need to expand beyond Washington DC?

Essentially, what Nancy Pelosi is doing is expanding the federal law enforcement mechanism of the legislative branch into specific areas where they can investigate political opposition armed with legal authority.

This is a concerning shift in events; however, there is a likelihood such a move is connected to the larger political goal of enhanced federal enforcement to quell any rebellion, while working in concert with the DOJ.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Capitol Police on Tuesday announced that the agency was opening regional field offices in California and Florida to investigate threats to members of Congress in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Threats against members of Congress have increased in recent years. As of Tuesday, total threats so far in 2021 were double what they were at this point a year ago, according to Capitol Police.

[…] “At this time, Florida and California are where the majority of our potential threats are,” a department spokesperson said in a statement. “The field offices will be the first for the Department. A regional approach to investigating and prosecuting threats against Members is important, so we will be working closely with the U.S. Attorney’s Offices in those locations.”

A spokesperson did not answer questions Tuesday about how many staff would be hired or what the cost to taxpayers would be.  The spokesperson said other regional offices were expected. (read more)

[Emphasis above, mine.]  See this for what it is without getting too granular on the specifics.  A federal political agency will now coordinate with federal U.S. Attorney’s on specific targeting operations.  In essence, the Florida and California offices of Pelosi’s police will direct the DOJ on who and where to target.  This is completely political.

There’s no legislative or constitutional process for a subsidiary federal law enforcement agency to exist.  This appears to be a new construction outside the boundaries of the legislative branch, and quasi-constitutional from the framework of the executive branch.   Essentially satellite DC police units.

State Governors need to respond to this action with direct and specific inquiries about what “federal” authorities “guide” these offices?  What federal legislative authority created them?  The New York Police Department cannot set up a field office in Atlanta, Georgia, or Dallas, Texas; there is no jurisdictional authority that would permit it.  So, how can the DC police department arbitrarily operate field offices in states outside Washington DC jurisdiction?

This appears to be a quasi-legal investigative agency run out of DC.  I would be very curious to see what legal authority they would cite to support the operation(s).

As we have mentioned previously, the United States Department of Justice is prepared to use federal law enforcement (FBI) to secure their position.  The purpose of their recent announcements should be clear to everyone.  We discussed and outlined the background previously.  {Go Deep 1} and {Go Deep Two}

In the background of these maneuvers corporate Big Tech, corporate U.S. media and those DC politicians under the control of multinational corporations, have been instructed to push the “domestic extremist” narrative.

Any organized and articulate truth-tellers are considered subversive, ie. against the interests of the U.S. government.  The January 6th DC protest is being used as an illustrative example for that narrative.

In an intelligence community controlled operation (ex. General Stanley McCrystal), ideological deplatforming, censorship, content removal and ultimately control of voices who would warn of larger issues, continues daily.  […] “The group, Defeat Disinfo, will use artificial intelligence and network analysis to map discussion of [opposition] claims on social media. It will seek to intervene by identifying the most popular counter-narratives and boosting them through a network of more than 3.4 million influencers across the country — in some cases paying users with large followings to take sides against [their opposition].” (source)

I will say it again…. stop and hear the drums… Something is about to happen; federal agencies are acting in a very proactive manner.  This shift by Nancy Pelosi is yet another advance move in preparation for, or in defense of, something they are planning for.  Either they are doing something; fearful of us discovering something; or they are preparing for us to react to something and they are pre-positioning assets to defend against it.  They are all-in and it shows.

At the 30,000/ft level, approximately 100 million+ American voters are considered dissidents now. Meanwhile, the DOJ, the FBI and now DC Capitol Police are preparing against the American people implementing state-level action, the true nature of federalism, as a defense against a corrupt federal government.

Something inside this dynamic is about to take place; we can all sense it. Something…

A Refreshingly Honest Interview About Mitch McConnell and Republicans in DC


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 6, 2021 | Sundance | 115 Comments

I can count on one hand the number of people I know who understood the danger of Senator Mitch McConnell for over a decade; and all of them are admins at CTH.

Mitch McConnell is the most Machiavellian republican in modern history. In 2010 it was Senator McConnell who wanted to see the Tea Party destroyed, and he did everything in his power to achieve that goal along with his friend Tom Donohue, then president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Additionally, almost everything centering around the current rogue intelligence community can be traced back to McConnell making deals with democrat senators to stand aside from oversight if they secure his position of influence and affluence.

McConnell is exactly the guy Taylor Caldwell was writing about in her book, A Pillar of Iron:

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.”

“For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

Natalie Harp and Liz Harrington both hit the nail on the head in this interview [Rumble Link].

National Teachers Union Puts Additional $2.5 Million in Legal Fund to Fight Parents for Control of Education Curriculum


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 6, 2021 | Sundance | 227 Comments

…”All your children are belong to us”…

I’m not 100% sure whether this is unbridled arrogance or just jaw-dropping tone-deafness, but this is absurd.  These are toxic sociopaths operating on a level of totalitarian outlook that is alarming as heck.

The American Federation of Teachers (AFT), a national union led by hard-line leftist Randi Weingarten, has announced adding $2.5 million to a legal fund specifically intended to fight parents for control over education curriculum.

Apparently the AFT feels they should be permitted to determine the curriculum of what they teach.  Parents do not get a say in what is taught to their children; this is a remarkable admission of indoctrination.  The arrogance of this is really quite remarkable and highlights just how out-of-touch with teaching the education system has become.

WASHINGTON – […] “Mark my words: Our union will defend any member who gets in trouble for teaching honest history,” Weingarten said in remarks for a virtual address to union members. “Teaching the truth is not radical or wrong. Distorting history and threatening educators for teaching the truth is what is truly radical and wrong.”

In an interview, Weingarten said the union is adding $2.5 million to an existing legal defense fund in anticipation of local fights over the teaching of race. The funding will be used to defend teachers who are disciplined for teaching about slavery and racism, Weingarten said. The union is also considering filing lawsuits to get clarification about new state laws limiting how racism can be discussed in schools, she said.

“We’re looking at these laws to see if courts will give some clarification in advance,” Weingarten said. “It just looks like it’s an attempt to erase so much of the history of the United States.” (read more)

If you find yourself quite stunned by this open intent of the teachers union to fight parents, you might be well served to remember how open they have been about this objective for almost a decade.  This video was from 2013:

Black National Anthem – Deliberate Reestablishing Segregation?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Tyranny Re-Posted Jul 6, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Interesting Point of View. Politically, all socialist governments have the same ob jective – to segregated and prevent the people from uniting. Even Amazon was trying to keep very diverse workforces and the document that surfaced showed that by keep the workforce diverse, it was less likely to unite and join together to form a union. This appears to be a deliberate strategy to divide and conquer the American people by PREVENTING unity. They are deliberately trying to pit one race against another. This is a historical well-documented strategy.

Spain Revealing the Totalitarian Future for All


Armstrong Economics Blog/Uncategorized Re-Posted Jul 6, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Spain is just putting it all out there. There is new legislation that effectively allows the total end of democracy and All freedom in Spain and this is just the beginning. Any person of legal age will be obliged to carry out the “personal benefits” required by the government, following the guidelines of the National Security Council, whenever the government declares a state of crisis for any reason whatsoever including health. Spain is declaring that all citizens are really slaves of the state without human rights. There is to be no exception and everyone MUST comply with the orders and instructions issued by the government. This new National Security Law stated:

In the event that a state of crisis is declared in Spain (‘situation of interest to National Security’ is the name given by law), the authorities may also proceed to the temporary requisition of all types of property, at the intervention or provisional occupation of those that are necessary or the suspension of all kinds of activities.

In the event that a state of crisis is declared in Spain (“situation of interest to National Security” is the name given by law), the authorities may also proceed to the temporary seizure of all types of property, at the intervention or provisional occupation of those that are necessary or the suspension of all kinds of activities. That is so vague it will allow the government to seize all your bank accounts and even your home – PERIOD! Those who suffer financial damages due to the seizure of their property or the interruption of their activity will have the right to be compensated. In its first drafts, the law excludes the payment of compensation to those who are obliged to make a personal benefit.  Therefore, any crisis they declare which can be health, environmental, economic, or financial nature, will be covered as well as an invasion from Mars.

However, this new duty to surrender all property does not stop with individuals. This ALSO applies to companies and legal entities to collaborate with the authorities to overcome whatever crisis they in their sole discretion determine. This introduces yet another new risk to owning any Spanish stocks. The politicians have cleverly found justification for eliminating human rights is contained in article 30 of the Constitution, according to which “Spaniards have the duty and right to defend Spain.”

On top of that, the government can also create mandatory military service which had been suspended in Spain back in 2001. They are referring to the 4th section, according to which, “by law, the duties of citizens may be regulated in cases of serious risk, catastrophe or public calamity .” This constitutional provision has remained until now inactive. The drafting of this legislation was deliberate toexclude it from any “organic law” which is the only one that can affect fundamental rights. The crisis is to be declared by the head of state – not the courts.

The obligation of the media

The new legislation also addresses the media. This draft includes the obligation of the media to collaborate with the competent authorities in the dissemination of information of a preventive or operational nature. In other words, it terminates the freedom of the press. The press will be compelled to put out only the government view.

This is what is coming down for all of Europe.

Taiwan & the Risks


Armstrong Economics Blog/China Re-Posted Jul 6, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; I take it you see China retaking Taiwan in the years ahead. I read your latest report. With your expertise, how do you see that unfolding?

Thank you for your guidance

KJ

ANSWER: China would most likely use its DF-16 – a short-range ballistic missile which Taiwan would have extreme difficulting in preventing them from getting through their defense net. They would target all military installations and possibly take out Taiwan’s airports and that would probably be followed by surface troops landing on their shores. China has its H-6 bombers and J-16 fighter jets, which would wipe out its naval force.

China would then launch several rounds of intensive cruise missile attacks, such as the YJ-91 and CJ-10. These would be launched from both land and sea. This would further target all military bases, ammunition depots, communications infrastructure, and key road junctions. If the PLA did not surrender, since the US and Japan will NOT come to their aid,  then they would use artillery strikes from surface ships and land-based rocket forces to annihilate the PLA’s resistance. I suspect they could take Taiwan in less than 2 weeks. They have been conducting major military exercises.

I do not believe that China is interested in wiping out the infrastructure or the means for economic commerce in computers. The question would be that the West will probably then look to create a competitive chip production to prevent reliance on Asia for computer technology.
