And to those corrupt and treasonous actors who have betrayed and vilified the good and the righteous: eternity is a long time–wherever you spend it

Re-posted from the Canada Free Press By Dave Merrick —— Bio and Archives—January 10, 2021

2000 years ago Jesus, the ONLY Savior of mankind, the undisputed most controversial Jewish guy ever (and a son of David, today still God in human flesh), had just left Pontius Pilate’s porch dragging a big rugged cross upon which he was about to be crucified. Because our loving God/Creator did not simply make a ‘Jesus bot’ to come, suffer and die for the sins of the people he loved so much, the Holy Spirit had, thirty-three years earlier, impregnated Mary, a descendant of King David, with our Lord and Savior. And so God’s Son, (a.k.a. “The Word” of the Holy Trinity), who had just been beaten senseless, was about to walk to his death on the hill they called ‘Golgotha’ (meaning: ‘place of the skull’). He would there be tacked to that big (probably sycamore) cross and ‘bleed out’ just like a meat sacrifice that the Temple priests would drain of its blood before it was consumed in flame. The smoke of that burning meat caused that big Temple in Jerusalem to smell like the best steakhouse you have ever experienced. And to the heart of God, and in the hearts of His sincere priests and followers, the smell of that great Temple of Solomon was just as exciting and attractive as the steakhouse.

Today we have seen that same sort of egregious hypocrisy replayed before our very eyes

Of course, you’ve heard about Jesus. He is the only Creator and Savior of the world. He is both, still and simultaneously, the “root and offspring of David.”  Nevertheless, today there is a devil-driven group of selfish, insane maniacs (demons all, dirty politicians, lovers of money, idolaters of all sorts, and the weak-hearted and ignorant allies and followers of those groups) at large. They again want to kill (get rid of) Jesus so that a final battle between satan and God might result in the title-deed of all creation being handed to ‘beelzebub’ (formerly known as ‘lucifer,’ the rebel who had once been the mightiest and most beautiful of all God’s angels). [You can always distinguish who is leading real protests. God’s protesters don’t loot.]

That day, two millennia ago, at the beginning of that path to Golgotha, there were women in the crowd who felt great sorrow for Jesus. He had done nothing to deserve that horrific punishment. They felt shame for the priests who had just hours earlier run through the crowd at ‘the pavement’ in front of Pilate’s porch threatening that mob to demand Jesus’ crucifixion. (If that sounds like what today’s democrats or media have done you may have a clue there). And those women felt immense shame for their spineless husbands and acquaintances who had cried out for His death just as they had been commanded by those priests. (And if that sounds like some of President Trump’s cabinet members and some formerly trusted Republicans you may have another clue.)

After the soldiers beat Him Jesus could barely walk, let alone carry that massively heavy wooden cross. So some Roman soldiers tagged a big strong Cyrenian black man who very mercifully heaved Jesus’ death instrument to the summit of Golgotha—the ugly rock knob out at the edge of town where the Roman justice system killed their felons. Before taking another step, Jesus turned back for a moment and spoke to the weeping women. He said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bear, and the paps which never gave suck. Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?” (Luke Chapter 23, KJV).

Satan has fought hard to eject God from our government, our schools and businesses

I believe that Jesus was there comparing the rotten events of those days with similar rotten events that would be happening at the end of the world—at the time of His return. Though there was no mass communication back then, all the people knew that the authorities and officials had totally cheated in condemning Jesus. Today we have seen that same sort of egregious hypocrisy replayed before our very eyes. And though he is only a man, Donald J. Trump has, under the same sort of hypocrisy out of the same sort of people, been condemned and essentially crucified in front of the watching eyes of an entire nation and world that know the truth behind that lying travesty. I will shift thoughts for a moment…

Pseudoscience has for years bashed people over the head with the Cinemascopic and richly orchestrated fable that our lives and the universe around us are all the result of billions upon billions of years of lucky explosions and chemical accidents (all originating out of nothingness, of course). But Jesus knew—and good science confirms—that our Earth and its inhabitants are maybe ten thousand years old at the most. You can laugh at that. I don’t doubt that many of you are snickering. But it is true, nonetheless. It is tough talking about God to people who don’t sing in the choir. The very real devil has been working, ever since our beginning, to convince people that even the idea of an ‘all-powerful God who made and knows everything’ is a ghost story made up to keep people in line. And, admittedly, a lot of the cults (false religions) have used junk theology for precisely that purpose. But we no longer have time to argue any of that. Now let’s talk about the Lord as well as current events.

A short-lived America is now ready to be surgically eviscerated and re-created in the dictates of professional politicians

Jesus and the prophets of the Bible left us what I like to call ‘proof texts.’ We were given time-sensitive prophecies of things that would happen through the centuries, thousands of years apart, to confirm the omniscience and perfect omnipotence of the very God who made us [and freely admits that He hides from us] (Isaiah 45:15, etc.). To name one of many of those prophecies, the reestablishment of the nation of Israel, after its disappearance thousands of years ago, happened officially in 1948. Just as He said He would, God brought people, Jews, from all over the earth to rebuild their homeland/nation that had all but died out centuries earlier! And, just as He said (Ezekiel, Matthew, etc.) many of those returning Jews would not even believe in Him! But satan has fought hard to eject God from our government, our schools and businesses, and very nearly even our churches. Many churches today spout the Bible and sing hymns but don’t really demonstrate any belief or three-dimensional faith in the true God. The adversary of our souls has always known that the moment we acknowledge the existence of God we must also acknowledge responsibility for our behavior before Him. But if we believe we are only highly sophisticated primates, eventually we will easily begin to act like that. And that gruesome, primitive behavior is unquestionably manifesting itself everywhere on today’s insane earth as we speak.

Jesus compared the madness of His completely undeserved crucifixion with the madness that would be happening when this ‘tree’ we occupy and comprise is old and dry—like a pile of seasoned firewood. Indeed, RIGHT THIS MOMENT, the MADNESS of an out-of-control mankind is bursting into fires all around us, worldwide. And right now, as America is falling, a gleeful devil is happy that the last barricade between his godless chaos and a moral, FREE, conscience-driven Constitutional Republic has craftily been turned over on its beam ends. A short-lived America is now ready to be surgically eviscerated and re-created in the dictates of his professional politicians who are no more than his obedient puppets. In short order, our freedom of speech will entirely disappear. True, biblical Christianity will be effectively declared ‘hate speech.’ And we will eventually be primed for a ‘one world’ unified religion which will consolidate all the false religions into one universal ‘church’. We are about to see the unfolding of an unprecedented saturation of terror emanating from a government unchecked by anything other than special interest forced oversight. The last leader we had who was working to try to keep things fair was brought down by a lying news media working in conjunction with a group of traitors posing as trusted friends and colleagues. Truly, now the tree is dead, dried and instantly bursting into flame in places we never imagined. Next stop—the mark of satan’s beast.

Bible shows us that there are moments in our history where wickedness certainly seems to prevail

But what has most shocked me is the unbelievable impotence of today’s believing, professing Christians. They have no knowledge of Scripture. They see the Bible as largely a big mysterious book comprised of two chapters—Old’ and ‘New.’ They see Jesus as an add-on to the 10 Commandments. And the “holiest” people are those professing Christians with the most money or possessions. But nothing could be further from the truth! When the plague-thing cranked up, I was truly expecting Christians to be out in force telling the world about our soon returning Jesus. Instead, nearly all the Christians I knew were simply bickering about what medicines could best address the problem, and what masks were most effective and where to find them. There was no mention of Jesus’ talking about ‘plague and pestilence’ on the rise in the days before his return (Luke chapter 11).

The most important part of this rant converges back to these final points. If you have missed everything else, don’t miss this!

Jesus came and lived the perfect life for us! When He died for our sins, the curtain in the temple ripped in half! Why? Because God was thereby inviting all who wanted to come—right into His presence! He beckoned us to PLEASE COME RIGHT IN! Any church that tells you that you need a priest or any other pastor, group, go-between or special study material to bring you closer to Jesus/God is not telling you the truth. Jesus satisfied ALL the demands of the impossible legalism of the Old Testament. No imperfect man could ever keep all the holiness prescribed in the old covenant. No, the Old Testament was indeed a schoolmaster to show us that we all needed JESUS’ BLOOD ALONE (Galatians chapter 3, 1Corinthians 15:1-8) to thoroughly cleanse our hearts before God!

COMMENT: These people posing for this photo certainly do not represent conservatives. One even has a mask. The Davy Crocket guy has the bull horn to lead the charge. Something is not right.

PC

REPLY: This breach into the Capitol Building was a false flag. There was no doubt about Trump supporters there. The guy in the Davy Crocket outfit was a QAnon supporter Jacob Anthony Chansley, who is said to be extreme right-wing. Adam Johnson was arrested for carrying-off Pelosi’s podium, but he did not take it from the building. These people being caught seem to have viewed this as a college prank posting their pictures on social media.

Nevertheless, there are reports that Antifa was there posing as Trump supporters who were the first to breach but had vacated quickly while hiding their faces. Still,  John Earle Sullivan is a Black Lives Matter terrorist who has advocated for an armed revolution on social media was one inside the Capitol Building and he claims he took part in the illegal breach of the building as part of an effort to understand supporters of President Donald Trump.

Others are saying that since Black Lives Matter was there, then Pelosi and Schumer should also be impeached since they incited riots all over the United States. There is a great disparity between how the Black Lives Matter rioters were treated when looting and burning down buildings verse the Trump supporters. This whole thing is merely inspiring divisions even more. What Trump did was by no means an impeachable offense. His statements do not qualify for calling for an insurrection. Besides that, they are protected speech just like those in Congress. How many Democrats made excuses for the burning of cities and all the protests? Even a legal professor who is not a supporter of Trump concurs – this is not an impeachable offense.

People from Germany are immediately calling it a false flag which they should know. False Flags are deliberate actions used to blame an opponent to gain power. Historically, Hitler used a very famous event that was the origin of the term “False flag” back in 1933 to reinforce his power. The German False flag used by Hitler was known as the Reichstag Fire. Hitler had a problem. He won less than 35% of the vote. The Reichstag Fire was an arson attack on the German parliament in Berlin on February 27th, 1933, one month after Adolf Hitler was sworn in as Chancellor of Germany. Hitler’s government claimed it was set by Communists because the 1918 German Revolution which installed the Weimar Republic and resulted in the hyperinflation was a Communist movement which even asked the Russian to take Germany.

One man was prosecuted named Marinus van der Lubbe, a Dutch council Communist, who was simply found near the building. A German court later decided that van der Lubbe had acted alone as was the case with Oswald in the Kennedy Assassination. After the Reichstag Fire, a Decree was passed that the Nazi Party used as evidence that Communists were plotting against the German government. This event was critical in the establishment of Nazi Germany. The very term Reichstag Fire in Germany has been ever since used to refer to False flag actions perpetrated by the government to promote their own interests to gain more power and infuriate the public for retribution that has ALWAYS resulted in the loss of civil rights necessary to catch the conspirators.

President Trump campaigned in 2016 on ending “ridiculous endless wars.” When I was invited to listen to Trump privately at his Palm Beach, Florida, property Mar-a-Lago, he said the same thing. We were in the middle east fighting over borders that have been disputed for 1,000 years. ONLY John F. Kennedy was against the war. I believe the CIA et al took him out so they could enter Vietnam. Even Johnson remarked in 1965: “For all I know, our Navy was shooting at whales out there.” They fired 249 5-inch shells, 123 3-inch shells, and four or five depth charges, according to Navy records. They never hit anything. Over 50,000 Americans die for a war we could not win and was never necessary.

They have lied to start every war from weapons of mass destruction to the fact that Germans sank the Lusitania because the US was secretly using passenger ships to move weapons to Britain. I have stated on personal knowledge that the terrorists from the first World Trade Center attack drew pictures of planes crashing into the towers on the wall of their cells in New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center in advance of 9/11. They knew what they were doing and let it happen.

Then there is Operation Northwoods, which was a proposal of the Department of Defense. The Joint Chiefs of Staff would involve CIA operatives to commit acts of terrorism against American civilians. They would then blame the Cuban government to justify a war against Cuba. The proposals were rejected by the Kennedy administration and have long been part of the reason people support the theory that the CIA is responsible for the killing of Kennedy.

The State Department blew everyone away after admitting that they officially and intentionally deleted several minutes of video footage from a 2013 press briefing to mislead the press over the Iranian nuclear deal.  Those in power are all about just them. They are constantly showing that they cannot be trusted on anything. Yet, we are risking the lives of our children with wars that are manufactured for political gain all so they can in their mind rule the world.

Obama, who has made a mockery out of the Nobel Peace Prize, attempted the standard lie to invade Syria, but the American people rejected it because they became tired of the lies. There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and Iraq had nothing to do with the 9/11 attack even in fake allegations. The failure of Obama to “sell” the Syrian war to the American people noted the shift in confidence from Public (trust everything) to Private (trust nothing).

Wherever there is military action involved, there are lies to further another agenda. The benefit of a Private Wave is that people begin to distrust the government. However, the war cycle turns up and that warns of a rise in civil unrest that can even go as far as a new age of revolution if the government does not stop trying to manipulate the people for nonsense.

The latest information coming from Italy interfering in the 2020 election also involved a military defense contractor. Like Kennedy, Trump was against endless wars so they had to put an end to Trump. I lost just about every friend from high school to Vietnam. What did they die for? Communism collapses all on its own because it is unsustainable.

History is written by the victory. They will rewrite the history of America and paint Trump as some sort of anarchist just as Cicero wrote the fake news calling Gaius Julius Caesar was a horrible dictator when he crossed the Rubicon and the Senate fled because they had no support of the people who then cheered Senate’s flight from Rome because they were corrupt oligarchs.

History repeats because human nature never changes no matter how much we progress technologically. So many people think history is irrelevant and you will often hear that this time it’s different. I have found no exceptions whatsoever and I have really searched very hard by studying the rise and fall of empires, nations, and city-states.

Flavius Claudius Julianus, known to history as Julian II, was born in Constantinople around 332 AD, the son of Julius Constantius who was the half-brother of Constantine the Great. His father was born to his grandfather’s second wife, Theodora. When Constantine the Great died in 337 AD, his son, Constantine II launched a midnight Palace Massacre whereby all persons who might be his rival for the throne and were not the direct descendant of Constantine I’s first wife were slaughtered. Fortunately for Julian, he managed to escape the Palace Massacre only due to his extremely young age. Julian was restored to the imperial favor as he grew and was given the rank of Caesar (Vice President) on November 6th, 355 AD, about the same time he married Constantius’ youngest sister, Helena.

Yet the Palace Massacre left a deep mark upon his character whereby he saw Christianity as just another cult and the preachings of thou shalt not kill  meant really nothing when power was at stake or swearing oaths in the Supreme Court today or to sit in Congress. As a result, Julian II was dubbed by theologians as Julian the Apostate rather than acknowledge Christianity did not restrain the murder of his family.

Julian’s coinage changed when he became Emperor. He grew a beard which was taken as a sign of being a pagan whereas Christians were clean-shaven. His coins would often display pagan motifs as well. Julian began his reign by throwing off his Christian cloak and declaring that all religions would be tolerated. He gave especially large donations to the pagan causes. He dismissed his Christian teachers and ended state subsidies for the church. He then took an active role in organizing pagan worship throughout all the provinces.

Julian’s own philosophical beliefs led him to idealize the reigns of Hadrian (117-138 AD) and Marcus Aurelius (161-180 AD). He described the ideal ruler as being essentially primus inter pares (“first among equals”), and thus not above the same laws that applied to everyone else. Julian frequently attended the Senate, participating in debates and making speeches. He was opposed to the traditional royal court operations that were used by his predecessors as inefficient, corrupt, and highly expensive.

Julian cut the bureaucratic waste by dismissing thousands of servants, eunuchs, and duplicated officials drastically reducing the cost of government for the taxpayers. He went as far as to prosecute corruption in government establishing the Chalcedon tribunal under the supervision of a magister militum Arbitio. He prosecuted former officials under Constantius including the chamberlain Eusebius who ran the royal court finding them guilty and sentenced to death. Yet Julian did not attend these proceedings that some argued meant he did not approve of these actions yet he took no steps to prevent them.

Julian also adopted the philosophy of Thomas Jefferson whereby he tried to reduce the federal bureaucracy expanding state and local authority at the expense of the imperial bureaucracy as Julian sought to reduce direct imperial involvement in urban affairs. For example, he went as far as to return city land owned by the imperial government, and city council members were then compelled to resume civic authority.

Julian was fatally wounded by a spear thrown by perhaps a Persian but perhaps by one of his own men during a minor skirmish. He made the mistake of surrounding himself with too few men because he did not trust the bureaucrats.

QUESTION: Why do you think he will not call in the military?

DF

ANSWER: Trump would not want to leave history in this context. However, if there can be concrete proof of Pelosi’s treason emerge from her laptop, then it would be a different story. However, if you look at history as a guide, there are certainly the rank and file who are very upset about this election and the fraud which seems to be obvious to people around the world. If it was not fraud, you would not have BigTech doing a Stalinistic Great Purge. They are on board and promised the banking industry. Microsoft is already launching digital currency operations.

History implies that we will probably see a split in the military if we end up in civil war. That is more or less how Rome came apart. Certainly, the reluctance would be if Trump does not have the evidence, and two if the military leadership is bought and paid for.

Our computer suggests that Biden probably only drew really about 32% of the popular vote that voted for him outright – the balance was voting for Biden because they hated Trump. Trump won more votes than any incumbent president and the left may own the media, but our computer shows Panic Cycles in politics for 2022 and 2024. This has never taken place in my lifetime.

There will be rising discontent and that may very well come from the military as well. I would say if the police try to enforce the Draconian measures of the Biden Administration, that may lead to the military v the police.

Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Jan 9, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

You have people claiming Trump will call in the military at the last minute. That is just not plausible. The other story is that covert-ops have Pelosi’s Laptop and that reveals far more than anyone would dare to speculate. They insist that Pelosi is trying to impeach Trump because of that. She has also called the military to try to take the nuclear codes away from him.

I am not so sure trying to impeach Trump is anything more than grandstanding.  There is not enough time left to impeach, hold a trial, and remove him from office before the 20th. She is trying desperately to demoralize not just Trump, but 50% of the country who voted for him. She is really a very nasty person. What she has done to the country for the last 4 years has been nothing but obstruction and to create division and hatred. Our sources in Washington say that now even Democrats are very angry with Pelosi and she may not have the mindless support to impeach Trump she expected. A lot of Democrats are worried about what Pelosi has done that is on that laptop.

Pence, while not someone who I expected to reject the disputed votes, also would not invoke the 25th Amendment.

Meanwhile, Twitter and Facebook are carrying out the Great Purge like Stalin. They are shutting down access to people who are conservative. If there is anything on Pelosi’s Laptop, we will soon find out.

I understand a lot of people are very disappointed. When the left tries to impose their demands, they will find that the economy is still imploding making it harder to raise the taxes. Then their proposal to eliminate capital gains because they hate the rich so much, well when you sell your home that is capital gains. If you sell a house you bought for $15,000 in the 1960s and you sell it for $300,000, well that will not be taxed at 40% if they eliminate capital gains.

According to numerous media reports Amazon is no longer going to allow Parler to run from its Web Hosting Servers, which means deplatforming the Parler Website effective midnight Sunday.   The CEO of Parler responds:

It is a little surprising that Parler was using Amazon servers to host it’s platform considering the obvious ideological risks involved.  However, given the Mercer financial backing behind Parler, and considering there is a background data-collection system, perhaps that surprise factor is slightly diminished.  Dance within an ideological system and there is always a risk the music will stop.

The efforts of Big Tech continue unabated by any regulatory agency….

Armstrong Economics Blog/Tyranny Re-Posted Jan 8, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Google has just banned Parlar App and Apple has declared it will do the same giving them 24 hours. Twitter’s permanent ban on Trump shows that it is by no means a mere platform but is a political agenda in and of itself. Facebook has also banned Trump. For all the community guidelines are just a smokescreen. They are determined to try to prevent him from ever running for anything again or to use the internet to organize even a 3rd party. Meanwhile, the House will move to impeach Trump on Monday in a move to discredit him and all those who voted for him.

There are reports that thousands of conservatives have their accounts being deleted in a wholesale purge even if they had nothing to do with the siege of Congress. As I have warned, to me, this is the fault of the Supreme Court. It was their duty to rule was there evidence or not – plain and simple. Had they only ruled, this NEVER would have happened and that is assuming it was only Trump supporters while others are saying Antifa led the charge. If there was no evidence – just say so! But no. The courts are there to PREVENT violence. Refusing to rule, I have warned, leaves the only solution is violence. Just look at history! This is the very purpose of courts to ensure that civilization is maintained – i.e. remaining “civil” rather than violent.

Under all socialist/Marxism revolutions, the very first thing that goes is free speech. Next comes the loss of the freedom of movement – papers, please! The final stage is simply total oppression/surveillance and turning everyone against each other to prevent uprisings – see something say something. They are using Trump to simply demoralize all conservatives so they can have a free hand on Capitol Hill. Republicans will be intimidated to now support the Democrats and if they oppose, they will be painted with the same brush.

The future will not be anything resembling the past. The restraints upon free speech are politically motivated. They will now seek to suppress all opposition. We are looking at serious implications for the markets, capital flows, and the very future of all our freedoms, rights, privileges, and immunities. The Republicans will offer little opposition moving forward.

There is now a mad rush to abandon Google for DuckDuckGo.

I do not believe that at this stage there will be ANY Federal Court that will EVER rule in favor of the Constitution v any measures that will be submitted. The courts have gotten their example from the Supreme Court. The rule of law is finished. They will use the siege of the capital to silence any conservative and declare all such people who voted for Trump are suspect. They will keep this narrative in the main press the same as they kept the 911 scenarios suppressed.

All we need to do is look to Boris Johnson in England. He has delivered a blunt ultimatum – obey him or people will die. There is no debt anymore.

In this atmosphere, just where we put assets and investment will be a difficult decision, to say the least. We need to Turn to Socrates for this one.

First things first…. It is important to identify protection and favor when it surfaces.  CTH is not only thankful for our ability to be faithful stewards to our community, but at this specific inflection point we are thankful to God for his providence.  CTH stands steadfast!

Was it not for the notification and deplatforming in November, and the inspired members of the Rebel Alliance that came to our aid, we may not have survived the past 24 hours.

Thank you.  We are humble and steadfast to our mission.  Ever faithful.

To the larger CTH community, we are fortunate to have an anti-fragile system in place to withstand the deplatforming currently underway by Big Tech.  So-far, so-good, fingers crossed.

Two recent features are interconnected.  (1) There is now an internal flagging system in the comment section to draw attention to content that is outside guidelines.  (2) Admins now have enhanced moderation tools to intercept that content.

With the enhanced focus of Big Tech to find justification, including in the comment sections of websites, to take down voices of the Rebel Alliance – it is unfortunately critical that we hold strong filters in place for tone and comment content at the moment.

As a reminder, here are the general guidelines for comments:

“Seek first to understand, then to be understood”.

1.) First, please READ THIS ENTIRE THREAD – and the full text of any discussion thread you wish to participate in.

Skipping to the comments to express an opinion without reading the content of the discussion is not helpful.

Often, unfortunately quite often, we find many of the points injected into comments are already outlined in the construct of the thread itself; questions asked while the answers are in the primary post.

2.) STAY ON TOPIC – please do not post something unrelated to the specific matter and content of the thread subject. There is a ALWAYS a daily open thread available for any subject you feel should get attention. Never place unrelated, “O/T”, or “Off Topic” comments on a thread unrelated to the topic. It is not ok to say: “sorry, O/T but”… or any iteration therein, it is actually quite rude.

The Treehouse operates on the ‘old school‘ standards and practices of civil discourse amid the original blogging community.

3.) NARROW YOUR THOUGHTS – Quality beats quantity. Please construct your comments to target specific areas and not broad generalizations about the discussion topic at hand. If you have four or five disconnected points, break them up into individual comments.

4.) AVOID GENERALIZATIONS – Do NOT speak in riddles. Words like “he, she, they, it, them” should rarely be used. Spell out “who” using the name, spell out who “they” are at the beginning of every sentence in your paragraph; so that there is clarity as to who you are talking about. Avoid using acronyms.

5.) BLOCK PARAGRAPHS – Do not post huge blocks of text. Think of the reader, and modify your presentation for understanding, not for exclaiming. Do not write to yourself, you are writing to others, so please structure your thoughts so other people can grasp and enjoy. NEVER post massive blocks of text without paragraph breaks.  In the current comment system hit the return twice to put two lines between your paragraphs; when the comment posts it will only show on space.

Do not post huge blocks of text

6.) PARAGRAPHS – Should NEVER be longer than two or three sentences taking up three to five standard lines of text. Again, you are writing to be understood, the emphasis should be on the reader comprehending what you are sharing.

Do not post huge blocks of text

7.) SPELLING AND PUNCTUATION – This is not school and we do not demerit for poor spelling, nor do we allow anyone to call others out for the same. However, if your construct is too poorly written the context is lost and important details can be missed. Read the comment carefully before you send it. Proofread it again. Does it make sense?

8.) TIME – Everyone ‘s time is valuable. Many of our discussion threads are 500 to 1,000+ comments long. We try to limit the comments to 500 and then post another related thread, but with some research threads it is challenging to do so because we do not want to break a continuity.

9) CITATIONS – There’s a big difference between an opinion and an assertion of fact. Feel free to provide opinions; however, if you are making an assertion of fact you must attach a citation for review. If you do not have a citation – don’t post; this avoids spreading rumors, gossip and unfounded claims.  Also related, do not post links without an explanation of the reason, purpose and content that is behind the link.

10.) THOUSANDS ARE WATCHING – For every person writing a comment, there are easily hundreds of thousands of reading lurkers on every discussion thread. There are thousands of CTH readers and a community reach of well over 15 million/mo. Do not write anything you would not say in your own living room. Do not disparage our conversation with vulgarity, profanity, or any expressions of any “ism”.

11.) MODERATION / FILTERING THE HATE – Because of our honest approach at seeking facts and truth, and openly discussing various analytical theories along the way, we are bombarded by those with ulterior motives which include:

• Intentional efforts to distract
• Intentional diatribes to affix labels to our objectives
• Intentional expressions of rabid hate, vulgarity, and threats.
• Trolling and professional obfuscation.
• Concern Trolling as a tool of distraction and derailing conversation.
• Psy-ops and intentional efforts to diminish fact-finding.

We do our earnest best to stop the agenda-horde at the moderation gates, however sometimes they get through. If you see something untoward say something. When a new comment surfaces that we view is likely presented only to argue, we watch carefully – but we also are not perfect. You can help. Feel free to flag or alert us via email.

12.) MANNERS MATTER – Simple kindnesses and courtesy should always be present in tone and content. When writing, ask yourself before you hit send: does this add value?

13.) NO PERSONAL ATTACKS – Ever. The fastest way to lose commenting privileges is to ridicule, bully or personally attack another person’s opinion or comment. Unfortunately people, often good people, let their passion interfere with good manners and personal judgement. If you cannot be polite or respectful, pause – and – do not comment.

14.) TONE and HONESTY – Often the information and research CTH provides are about challenges we face and/or events that are hidden from larger review. It can be frustrating to see the scale of corruption; however, only you control how that information is absorbed by you. The truth doesn’t care about our feelings. Try to keep an even keel and optimistic disposition.

15.) DEVICES – It is a reality that many people use their phones to browse information and/or comment. Cellular phones and iPads are okay for reading, but also present challenges in commenting. Please make every effort to avoid the run-on issue of text from these devices. Put extra spaces in your paragraphs. Also remember your service provider (ISP) may have filters to limit the websites they permit you to view. It’s not CTH, nine out of ten issues are related to your service provider. This issue is worse in 2020 for obvious reasons.

We are working to build-out enhancements to the current platform that will make phone and tablet users have a better experience while retaining the overall theme.

SUMMARY: The Tree House community has historically accomplished a lot. Through exhaustive research and analysis our accuracy and reputation for truthful fact-finding, regardless of where it leads, is well regarded. Retain that distinction of intellectual armament.

We are The Conservative Tree House, not because of political affiliation, but rather because the word “conservative” expresses our outlook. We would rather be deep, than wide; we would rather be honest, than popular; we avoid semantics in favor of accurately presenting both intention and meaning.

We are bold in our willingness to go into conversational places where others do not, and we are brave enough to stand firm for principles which are time tested.

We would rather advertise our outlook, so the viewer can understand our perspective on a particular subject, than deceptively claim we are something else and deliver an inherently biased view. The entire spectrum of the MSM is based on the latter.

Every reader knows where we stand on any given issue, and our opinions -while they may be unpopular- are based on solid research and analytical insight into the subject matter at hand. This is why our predictive analysis is routinely more accurate than others.

Lastly, this Treehouse is a conversation. Hopefully, just like sitting on a porch with friends. Because the “conversation” is the ends and not the means, this approach inherently means YOU are important; do not diminish yourself:

[Remember] …”However each of us got here, it’s probably a fact that we have the turmoil of those storms in common, perhaps some unease that we could share and always, we also find fresh ground to cover from day to day.

We’re developing valuable relationships as we trust one another in our community in the woods. The chatting in the branches encourages, strengthens and equips for some serious walking.

We think the Treehouse is a good intellectual armory for those who doing long distance walking for the sake of our nation. We hope you’ll think so, too. Find yourself a good branch….or just pull up a rock to the campfire”.

Wolverines faithfully patrol the perimeter.

Humor is good way to avoid fear. Be kind and please be respectful… Manners really do matter… after all, this is a fellowship.  We are stewards.  The Rebel Alliance is strong.

Throughout history large armies have been defeated through the process of division.

It is not a leap to see the same strategic objectives being deployed against social assemblies, on-line communities, and even religious congregations.

The bond of fellowship is needed more than ever.

Each of us has a different connection to our community. Each of us has a different level of internal strength… such is the nature of living. However, the distance between people is manifestly not a good outcome when combined with the lack of food for the soul.

The control mechanisms of social media was already troublesome; physically distancing from human engagement only worsens the impact. There is no digital or virtual replacement for the true fellowship of humanity on a personal level.

Ultimately it is the currency of human connection that is the true value in our lives.

We have each felt how our positive influence upon the lives of others nourishes our own sense of purpose and fulfillment… Do not lose that. Do not think you can compensate for that through other arbitrary measures; you cannot.

Give the gift of hope and light to those you love by first reminding yourself of the gift that a loving God has given us all. It is too easy in our human sense to forget the biggest gift we have been granted, the gift of life. The ability to live and choose how we engage in the lives of others.

Remind yourself of the kind of purposeful HOPE that would leave a throne to be born into a manger as a baby only to grow into a Man willing to lay down His everything for the wretchedness of humanity.

No politics or false sense of security can overwhelm the message of HOPE that a loving God has provided. No effort of man or human disposition can surmount the greatest love of all.  “No power of hell, nor scheme of man” can come close to the purpose of God’s intent and love for you as a unique person qualified to receive that love.

Stand steadfast in faith and the Rebel Alliance will thrive.

Labeling his content as subversive to the interests of the new totalitarian state, Twitter has announced their permanent deletion of Donald Trump’s Twitter account because of how his tweets can be “perceived and interpreted”.

“After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them — specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter — we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence.” (link)

Consider their statement carefully because, in essence, Big Tech is banning the voice of President Donald Trump because they claim it may generate wrong think amid others. The Twitter statement continues using these two Tweets as justification for the ban:

[Via Twitter] “We assessed the two Tweets referenced above under our Glorification of Violence policy, which aims to prevent the glorification of violence that could inspire others to replicate violent acts and determined that they were highly likely to encourage and inspire people to replicate the criminal acts that took place at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.”

“This determination is based on a number of factors, including”:

• President Trump’s statement that he will not be attending the Inauguration is being received by a number of his supporters as further confirmation that the election was not legitimate and is seen as him disavowing his previous claim made via two Tweets (1, 2) by his Deputy Chief of Staff, Dan Scavino, that there would be an “orderly transition” on January 20th.
• The second Tweet may also serve as encouragement to those potentially considering violent acts that the Inauguration would be a “safe” target, as he will not be attending.
• The use of the words “American Patriots” to describe some of his supporters is also being interpreted as support for those committing violent acts at the US Capitol.
• The mention of his supporters having a “GIANT VOICE long into the future” and that “They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!” is being interpreted as further indication that President Trump does not plan to facilitate an “orderly transition” and instead that he plans to continue to support, empower, and shield those who believe he won the election.
• Plans for future armed protests have already begun proliferating on and off-Twitter, including a proposed secondary attack on the US Capitol and state capitol buildings on January 17, 2021.

“As such, our determination is that the two Tweets above are likely to inspire others to replicate the violent acts that took place on January 6, 2021, and that there are multiple indicators that they are being received and understood as encouragement to do so.” (link to statement)

The justification itself is so bizarre it is Orwellian in nature.  Interpreting the thoughts of a person to determine their violation….  Good grief, you cannot get much more twisted and subjective than that.   This is an alarming statement and directly indicates the Big Tech systems will now define subversive activity.

President Trump sent the following response from his POTUS account, which Twitter quickly took down – (but not until we captured it).

This effort will backfire, bigly.  The rebel alliance will only gain in strength as the technocrats attempt to create these control mechanisms.

Consider this move an inflection point in history.

JoeBama is even more weak now than before.

Extreme control efforts are a reaction to extreme fear.  If the left-wing political elements who control most social media platforms were not fearful they would not be taking such aggressive action.  Today Brandon Straka announces his #WalkAway group has been removed from Facebook and deplatformed.

(link)

The “Walk Away” movement was an organization of voices of former Democrats who turned away from the extreme leftist moves by the democrat party.  The group was supportive of President Trump and the populist ‘America First’ message.

This move comes after Joe Biden called President Trump supporters “domestic terrorists” and announced his administration’s intent to target those voices as members of an insurrection against his administration.  An alarming move to a totalitarian state where dissenting voices must be silenced and removed.

[Wall Street Journal] “Don’t dare call them protesters,” Mr. Biden said in remarks from Wilmington, Del. “They were a riotous mob. Insurrectionists. Domestic terrorists. It’s that basic. It’s that simple.”

Mr. Biden blamed President Trump for inciting the violence, saying he had “unleashed an all-out assault on our institutions of democracy.” The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

[…] Mr. Biden has said he plans to make a priority of passing a law against domestic terrorism, and he has been urged to create a White House post overseeing the fight against ideologically inspired violent extremists and increasing funding to combat them. (read more)

Additionally, there is currently a massive “pro-Trump” purge happening on Twitter.  They even banned Tech Fog, a CTH friend who was never controversial, always careful, and only posted court documents highlighting legal cases involving corruption.

Axios– Reddit has banned the subreddit group “r/DonaldTrump,” a spokesperson confirmed to Axios.

Why it matters: While not an official group or page hosted by the president, it’s one of the company’s largest political communities dedicated to support for President Trump.

What they’re saying: “Reddit’s site-wide policies prohibit content that promotes hate, or encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence against groups of people or individuals. In accordance with this, we have been proactively reaching out to moderators to remind them of our policies and to offer support or resources as needed,” a spokesperson tells Axios.

• “We have also taken action to ban the community r/donaldtrump given repeated policy violations in recent days regarding the violence at the U.S. Capitol.”

The big picture: It’s the latest in a string of platforms to take action against Trump’s accounts following the historic pro-Trump riot at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.  (LINK)

The massive deplatforming and removal is unprecedented in scale.  The movement by WordPress/Automattic to deplatform CTH shocked many in the media when it happened to us the week after the election.

In the aftermath of CTH being deplatformed we received many notifications of support and shocked messages from inside the tech industry.  In recent days those same voices have signaled that CTH was likely a coordinated first-strike that previewed this post election wave to shut down voices of dissent.

These are remarkable times.  Stand strong in fellowship… now people are starting to realize why CTH strongly advocated for unity of assembly in the last six months.

There are more of us than them.  The Big Tech oligarchs who control the system are trying to shut down communication amid the dissenting voices that demand liberty and freedom.  This is a strategic effort in the battle for our nation.

Stand strong!

More to come….

They are not trying to silence Donald Trump, they are attempting to silence all American voices of dissent.

That's the scale of the 2020 election controversy. https://t.co/Ra57bn5Fmy

It is beyond description that we face such crazy times politically around the world. The people are distracted between the left and the right but what is being ignored has been just what is the incentive for governments to join this cabal? What is really going on is simply that we have reached the end of perpetual borrowing by governments. Both Europe and Japan have destroyed their bond markets and Denmark, which moved to negative interest rates in 2012, has simply offered mortgages now at zero rates unable to stimulate their economy after 8 years of this failed policy.  The downside of all of this is that the old idea of saving and living off the interest for retirement is gone. They have wiped out the very foundation of credit. There is no longer profit in lending money which means the only other option will be to invest. Debt is dead!

Governments have pushed themselves into a corner. This is what we get from voting for people because they smile nice and have no qualifications whatsoever to run a nation-state. Unable to keep this debt bubble from busting, they have turned to the consortium of emerging Soros’s one-world government, Gates’ zero CO2/Population Control, and Klaus Schwab’s Stakeholder economics blended with Thomas Piketty’s communism of equality. This has resulted in an interwoven time bomb of interest rates/Banking, Government Debt, and Foreign Exchange.

When they created the Euro, the promise was that everyone would pay the same interest rates pointing to the dollar and one federal interest rate. They ignored the fact that among the 50 states, they may have had one currency, but the credit risks materialized in the interest rates for each state. The FAILURE of Europe quickly became self-evident. The promise that a single currency would eliminate volatility and bring “equality” to all proved yet another false dream. The volatility which existed in the currency markets in Europe was merely transferred to the bond market.

There is no question that unemployment will continue to rise into 2022 initially but the high will not be reached until 2025. The decline from there may be the result of a draft for war. Meanwhile, it appears that the low velocity was reached in 2020. This suggests that indeed the change in politics marks the shift in the confidence we have been stating MUST begin to take shape BEFORE there would be a shift in inflation and markets. Our resistance for the Dow in 2021 stood at 31200 and 35300.

It has been the politics that is critical to the markets since the interest rates have lost the focus. This is reflecting now who has the confidence of capital as we journey between here and 2024 – the next high on the Economic Confidence Model. Regardless if you voted for Trump or Biden – it no longer matters. We will all endure the same fate and the one thing that never changes, whatever the politicians promise – never comes true! It is always about them and holding their power. It is never about us – We the People.
