FBI labeled Steve Scalise and GOP Assassination Attempt as ‘suicide by cop’ Not Domestic Terrorism or Political Violence


Posted originally on the conservative tree house April 21, 2021 | Sundance | 160 Comments

Remember all those Democrat demands for the FBI to enhance their statistics and record-keeping to quantify threats?  Remember FBI Director Chris Wray using those FBI compiled statistics to say that “white nationalists” are the greatest threat?   Put those two issues together and consider….

….What value are statistical records when those who compile the records are politically motivated to mislabel the true origin of any attack?

Think about it.

Cue the visual demonstration:

WASHINGTON – A congressman who was on the baseball field during the 2017 shooting that nearly killed GOP Whip Steve Scalise says the FBI privately informed lawmakers it ruled the attack a “suicide by cop,” a designation he said downplayed the shooter’s apparently political motivation.

Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) revealed the previously undisclosed determination during a hearing of the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday, upbraiding FBI Director Christopher Wray and prompting several colleagues of both parties to pile on. He said FBI agents privately briefed the baseball team on Nov. 16, 2017 to deliver the controversial determination. (read more)

It doesn’t take much more than common sense to see the motives and agenda of a politically intent FBI at work here. A politically aligned bureaucratic system within the institution can downplay, and label things they do not like to see discussed, according to their own agenda.

It facilitates the leftist political agenda and objectives of the narrative engineers to downplay actual violence against their opposition.  Conversely, the statistical manipulation assists in advancing narratives that are based on overly exaggerated false claims.   Who benefits?… the real threats.

Real threats are downplayed because the institutions are structurally chasing priorities that don’t exist.  They are creating a false impression of risks and the result is the institution expends resources to… well, NASCAR racetracks where 13 FBI agents are dispatched to investigate a garage pull-down rope.

The FBI chases the invisible ghosts of ‘white supremists’ on NASCAR tracks; meanwhile, actual threats from Islamic extremists and Antifa are ignored because the manipulated statistics quantify the threat as “low risk”.

See how that works?

Broward County School Superintendent Robert Runcie Arrested for Perjury During Questioning About “Promise Program”


Posted originally on the Conservative tree House April 21, 2021 | Sundance | 127 Comments

This is actually one of those small stories with BIG, very big potential.   Broward County School Superintendent Robert Runcie was arrested this morning on a charge of perjury in an official proceeding. Broward School Board attorney Barbara Myrick was also arrested.

According to local news {LINK} Runcie gave testimony about how official school district programs were being implemented (aka “The Promise Program“) and whether any of the financial incentives were used by district officials for personal gain.

The details are vague as the media reporting on the arrest are slight; however, the backstory is something CTH has some strong information about due to our years of research into Miami-Dade and Broward County school systems – going all the way back to Trayvon Martin and the corrupt internal school administration practices we helped expose.   First, the current events:

FLORIDA – […] Runcie, 59, was taken into custody by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and has since been released from the Broward County Main Jail. According to his indictment, Runcie lied under oath between the dates of March 31 and April 1 while testifying under oath to a state grand jury.

The grand jury was investigating the following, according to the indictment:

    • Whether refusal or failure to follow the mandates of school-related safety laws, such as the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Public Safety Act, results in unnecessary and avoidable risk to students across the state;
    • Whether public entities committed and continue to commit fraud and deceit by accepting state funds conditioned on implementation of certain safety measures while knowingly failing to act.
    • Whether school officials committed and continue to commit fraud and deceit by mismanaging, failing to use, and diverting funds from multimillion dollar bonds specifically solicited for school safety initiatives; and
    • Whether school officials violated and continue to violate systematically underreporting incidents of criminal activity to the Department of Education.

How exactly the superintendent allegedly perjured himself during the investigation is not known at this time.

Myrick, meanwhile, was arrested on a charge of unlawful disclosure of statewide grand jury proceedings for the “knowingly and unlawfully public, broadcast, disclose or communicate to another person outside the statewide grand jury room any of the proceedings.” (read more)

The emphasis on the fourth bullet-point above is mine; because my hunch is THAT’S the key issue that Broward School Board administration can never let reach sunlight.  If people knew the details about how ‘diversionary programs‘ were used to keep school-aged youth out of the criminal justice system; those details could lead to a much larger national issue about the diversionary programs themselves.

Students engaged in very criminal behavior in both Miami-Dade and Broward County, were never held criminally accountable. Instead the “Promise Program”, and other programs of a similar nature,  used school discipline to replace the criminal justice system.  Students engaged in drug offenses, burglary and some other even more serious offenses were intentionally diverted away from the criminal justice system (police, courts etc.) and instead were suspended from school.

Perhaps the Florida grand jury is finally investigating the severity of corruption within these Florida diversionary programs (that are now national).  Here’s a background explanation as CTH shared in 2018 after the Parkland School shooting.

FEBRUARY 2018 – […]  Nothing about the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School was based on structural incompetence; the horrific event was an entirely predictable outcome of intentionally followed policy.

In April of 2012 Jesse Jackson began to promote the principle: “we must stop suspending our students”. Three months later, in July of 2012, President Obama signed an executive order establishing the basic outline of what later came to be known in Broward County as “The Promise Program“.

President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder created the financial carrots. In 2013 Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel and a hired Chicago transplant, School Superintendent Robert Runcie, simply formalized and executed the policy.

2011 – Runcie has strong ties to Arne Duncan, the current U.S. Secretary of Education, who gave Runcie his start in the education sector.

Duncan, former Chicago schools chief tapped Runcie in 2003 to join his management team as chief information officer. Runcie was charged with bringing order to a technology department marred with delays in installing school computers funded through a federal grant. Duncan was listed as one of Runcie’s references in his application packet to the board.

Some are hopeful that Runcie’s connection to the Obama administration through Duncan will draw some benefits to the district and raise Broward’s profile in the national discourse on school reform.  Throughout his interviews, Runcie said he wants Broward to serve as a national model for what’s done right. (read more)

Sheriff Israel and Superintendent Ruchie’s implementation of the Broward Promise Program was easy; just stop arresting students and the statistics would be great.  As the statistics improve so too does the financial reward from federal grant monies.

While Sheriff Israel and Superintendent Runcie were garnering praise for the results of their program, Parkland school student Nikolas Cruz was a simultaneous benefactor as his anti-social and violent behaviors were being ignored.

This is a simple cause and effect.  There are no mistakes being made here.  This is entirely by design; as author Jack Cashill noted, this is not “incompetence“, it’s strategic. The fact that Nikolas Cruz was able to exit high school without a police record, then began amassing weapons, and eventually became a school shooter killing 17 students and staff; is an outcome of strategic policy, not incompetence.

While Nikolas Cruz was being ‘handled’ and not documented. The Sheriff’s police force was conducting diversity training seminars, de-escalation meetings, and sensitivity training exercises.  The last active shooter training was somewhere around 2006.  As a person within Broward law enforcement stated:

[beginning in 2013] “major change in policy & procedure as well as dismantling of proactive enforcement units in favor of community policing squads whose sole purpose is not enforcement. We paint houses, pick up trash, conduct summer camps for kids & giveaway presents on Christmas.”

For an example of Sheriff Scott Israel’s priorities SEE VIDEO HERE.

However, in the aftermath of the horrific shooting; and as people outside Broward County now begin to understand the dangerous political apparatus behind the policy; DO NOT expect to see any reform or change.

There is no actual mechanism to stop Broward county officials from carrying out their ideological objectives.  Social Justice has replaced Law Enforcement.  The sheriff is essentially untouchable until his next election – which he will likely again win easily; the School Superintendent is protected by the political apparatus willing to sacrifice a few dozen residents to retain the ideology; the school board and county officials are all part of the political apparatus; the mayors are appointed not elected; the district attorneys are all-in on the program; and the judges come from the ranks of the attorneys…. so, don’t expect changes.

Inside Broward County Florida schools blood can be washed away and carpets can be changed, but the political ideology and civic institutional goals are always protected.

If you think the federal government could step in to reduce the risk of violence, think again.  The U.S. federal Department of Justice has an entire suite of lawyers assembled just to protect these localized regions from intervention.  An activist Civil Rights Division is replete with social justice defenders, there will be no help from the DOJ.

The rapid response group within the federal government is the secretive Community Relations Service.  If you think the FISA abuse scandal revealed political ideology within the DOJ National Security Division, well, the DOJ-NSD pales in comparison to the DOJ-CRS.

It’s the DOJ Community Relations Service who activates and organizes the marches on behalf of the local officials.  The CRS is 100% full of social justice advocates who are trained specifically for the mission of protecting progressive community leaders from constituent backlash.   As CTH met with and researched the secretive CRS in 2012 and 2013 we affectionately named them the “tamp-down/ramp-up” federal group.

The CRS exists to ‘tamp-down’ any backlash to their ideological goals, and ‘ramp-up’ antagonism against political opposition or narratives adverse to their interests.

As I outlined in 2018: “Give it a few more days and everyone will move on.  This is not my cynicism, this is the reality of my having seen -first hand- the scale of the political machine that creates and defends outcomes like the Parkland School shooting.”  Well, perhaps, just perhaps, this grand jury in Florida was looking into these issues and Robert Runcie is on the path to accountability….

We will keep watching !

Joe Biden, President Obama and Ed Secretary Arnie Duncan ~ These three, together with Eric Holder and Valerie Jarrett created the racially explosive diversionary system called “My Brother’s Keeper”…

The Shadow Of Fear


Posted originally on GrrrGraphics.com APR 19, 2021 AT 10:52 AM

They Use Fear To Control You

It probably shouldn’t be surprising, but it is disappointing that so many people are eagerly doing whatever a small sliver of humanity tells them to do.

The latter are the ruling oligarchy. They consist of centi-billionaires and perhaps even trillionaires. They own and control most of the valuable land, the biggest banks, our security agencies, our education system, and dutiful politicians who do their bidding. The CIA-controlled corporate media is used to brainwash the public into compliance.

Compliance is achieved through means of fear more than force. The ruling caste and the pharmaceutical industrial complex claim we must voluntarily give up our freedom in exchange for safety. It’s for our own good! You want to save lives, don’t you?

The lever pushers at the top of the pyramid are using science to keep people in lockstep obeisance. We must do as we’re told because they claim to have the logical and scientific high ground. We must take their experimental jabs to prove we’re good humans who care about others. Doing so doesn’t mean there won’t be more lockdowns and social distancing. Masks have become permanent even though their own science shows masks do more harm and good. You see, they suspend science in cases such as mask wearing, rioting, and the number of genders. A man can become a woman and vice versa just because they say it’s science instead of what it really is—insanity. Their experimental gene therapy jabs and vaccines are safe even though thousands experience severe side effects and death. The ruling class says they’re safe and effective, so most of the public ignores hard evidence to the contrary. Too many people are not in touch with reality and fear makes that mental illness possible.

Nearly half the population has succumbed to such brainwashing. They’ve deeply swallowed the lies doled out by the one percent and have done so hook, line, sinker, and globalist rod and reel.

How much longer can they use fear to herd us toward our own demise? Indefinitely. They’ll trot out new viruses—real or imagined—and vaccines will become an annual event. Then perhaps even monthly. Why not? People appear to enjoy getting the jabs. They receive a virtue signaling high from them.

People need to stop participating in their own demise. Tune out CNN. Don’t take the shots—you’re not a lab rat!  Stop wearing the masks. Ignore the lockdowns. Support small businesses. They can’t arrest all of us.

Most of all, stop being afraid—is it that difficult?

—Ben Garrison

Tina- How to stop being afraid?   Turn off the TV News, Don’t read newspapers, take a break from social media tech tyrants like Facebook who brainwash you with their “fact checkers and disinformation campaigns.”

Reminder if the plannedemic was real they would not spend millions on TV commercials and celebrity endorsements to convince you to get the jab.

The Nuremberg Code is also being ignored (The Nuremberg Code, included a new, comprehensive, and absolute requirement of informed consent (principle 1), and a new right of the subject to withdraw from participation in an experiment (principle 9.)

Vaccine Passports Will Become Permanent

Books for Reference


Armstrong Economics Blog/Books Re-Posted Apr 20, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Marty; I finally understand your position that inflation is not tied to the quantity of money but to the expectations of what people think will happen in the future. ARe there any books that you can recommend on this subject?

Thank you for being the guiding light.

EH

ANSWER: I wish I could point you to a single book. I have perhaps one of the most extensive collections of books on economic thought over the centuries. I have been a collector over my life of many different aspects beyond coins, stamps, art, and cars.

I have put together an important collection of rare books so I could do my own research, reading the contemporary sources rather than relying upon someone else’s interpretation which is inevitably colored by their own thoughts, beliefs, and experiences. For example, Edward Gibbon who wrote “The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire” was prejudiced by the civil war in England that was over religion. He applied that personal experience to his analysis of the fall of Rome, which he laid much blame on religion. He even wrote extensively on the rise of Islam as well. It is important to turn to the sources and avoid the interpretation of later people. For example, you find so many Roman and Greek statues were beheaded because the Christians were ignorant and assumed any statue was a god who they beheaded them.

I have first editions of most of the great works right down to Thomas Paine and Ben Franklin. Of course, the first edition of Thomas Pain’s Common Sense will fetch around $75,000+ today. I cannot believe how even rare books have skyrocketed in price lately. Even the first edition of Einstein’s “Relativity” will bring $25,000+ today, and that is much easier to find than the works from the 18th century. Perhaps the most common book in this area from the 18th century is that of Thomas Hobbes’ “The Moral and Political Works” where the idea of the social contract began in his “Leviathan.” Even that will still bring $10.000+

I am working hard on getting out the next two books, for it looks like we will be able to hold a World Economic Conference at the end of the year in Orlando. We may still be restricted on seating, but let’s see how that goes.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Signs Anti-Riot Bill Which Also Includes Civil Immunity For Drivers Who Hit Road-Blocking Protestors


Posted originally on the conservative tree house April 19, 2021 | Sundance | 60 Comments

Earlier Monday Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed HB1, a new bill from the Florida legislature that establishes new criminal definitions under the anti-riot law.  The House and Senate worked on the legislation for a year after Governor Ron DeSantis led the initial effort.

[HB1] “defines a “riot” as a public disturbance involving three or more people “acting with the common intent to assist each other in violent and disorderly conduct” that results in injury to another person, damage to property, or danger of injury or damage.

The law grants civil immunity to people who drive into protesters who are blocking a road, prevents people accused of rioting from bailing out of jail until after their first court appearance, and increases penalties for assaulting law-enforcement officers while engaging in a “riot.”  It also penalizes local governments that interfere with efforts to stop a riot and allows law-enforcement agencies that face funding reductions to file objections.” (link)

The anti-riot law titled “Combating Public Disorder,” creates a new crime of “mob intimidation,” enhance penalties for riot-related looting and violence and create an affirmative defense for individuals who injure or kill violent protesters.  Polk County Sheriff Grady Judge spoke at the signing.

Medical Examiner Says Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick Died From Natural Causes, Two Strokes the Day After the January 6th DC Protest


Posted originally on the conservative tree house April 19, 2021 | Sundance | 76 Comments

All of the endless media hours and column inches written about the death of Capitol Hill Police Officer Brian Sicknick were lies.

Lies built by corporate and political media, upon more lies pushed by media pundits.  All Lies.

The DC Medical Examiner released findings today showing Sicknick died from natural causes, blood clots and two strokes suffered on the day after the Capitol Hill Protest:

Glenn Greenwald – […] It was crucial for liberal sectors of the media to invent and disseminate a harrowing lie about how Officer Brian Sicknick died. That is because he is the only one they could claim was killed by pro-Trump protesters at the January 6 riot at the Capitol.

[…] Because the truth usually prevails, at least ultimately, their lies, yet again, all came crashing down on their heads on Monday. The District of Columbia’s chief medical examiner earlier this morning issued his official ruling in the Sicknick case, and it was so definitive that The Washington Post — one of the media outlets that had pushed the multiple falsehoods — did not even bother to try to mask or mitigate the stark conclusion it revealed. (read more)

The Washington Post – […] Capitol Police officer Brian D. Sicknick suffered two strokes and died of natural causes a day after he confronted rioters at the Jan. 6 insurrection, the District’s chief medical examiner has ruled.

[…] The ruling, released Monday, will make it difficult for prosecutors to pursue homicide charges in the officer’s death. In an interview with The Washington Post, Francisco J. Diaz, the medical examiner, said the autopsy found no evidence the 42-year-old officer suffered an allergic reaction to chemical irritants, which Diaz said would have caused Sicknick’s throat to quickly seize. Diaz also said there was no evidence of internal or external injuries. (read more)

Witness Intimidation, Racial Antagonists Throw Blood and Pig Head on Former Residence of Defense Witness in Derek Chauvin Trial


Posted originally on the conservative tree house April 19, 2021 | Sundance | 237 Comments

As the closing arguments of the Derek Chauvin trial wrap up today those who want to advance racial hatred attempt to intimidate a prior defense witness. Former police training officer Barry Brodd  testified for the defense.  His former home in Santa Rosa, California, was attacked Sunday with a pigs head left on the blood-splattered front porch.  Fortunately Mr. Brodd had previously moved away from that location, but the current owner was obviously mortified.

The far-left is once again using every resource to trigger violence and hatred around this case.   Without a doubt the activists inside Obama’s Chicago network are coordinating the effort.  They have been exploiting the death of George Floyd for maximum political value and antagonism from the outset.

CALIFORNIA – A group of as of yet unidentified vandals reportedly threw a bloody severed pigs head on the porch of the former home of a retired California cop who served as a defense witness in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the ex-Minneapolis police officer currently standing trial for the murder of George Floyd.

According to NBC, the current resident of former training officer Barry Brodd’s former home in Santa Rosa found the animal’s head on their blood-splattered front porch around 3 a.m. Saturday morning in what appears to be a case of mistaken identity – or, just stupidity by vandals too dumb to realize that Brodd hadn’t lived at the house for years.

The local police department says it seems the home was targeted because of Brodd’s witness testimony in Chauvin’s trial, in which Brodd likened Floyd’s death to an “accidental death.”  

“That isn’t an incident of deadly force,” Brodd said during the trial, according to the Associated Press. “That’s an incident of an accidental death.”

The unfortunate current resident of Brodd’s old house called the police after seeing multiple suspects, dressed in all black, fleeing the scene. The same group is thought to have soaked a local statue in blood and left a sign reading “Oink Oink” about 45 minutes later. (read more)

Rage, hatred and violence is the mantra of the far-left….

The people behind the coordination of this national division are the same communists who indoctrinated Barack Obama into the Alinsky methods.  It is all one large soup mix of various racial antagonizers in the same pot.  This is what they do…. this is how they drive division.
