Judge Defends Big Tech Censorship


Armstrong Economics Blog/Rule of Law Re-Posted Jul 2, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

In Florida, a federal judge blocked a new Florida law that seeks to punish large social media businesses like Facebook and Twitter if they remove content or ban politicians. U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle granted a preliminary injunction stopping the new law from being enforced. The law was to enable the state to fine large social media companies $250,000 a day if they remove an account of a statewide political candidate, and $25,000 a day if they remove an account of someone running for a local office.

The legislation was challenged in federal court in Tallahassee by NetChoice, a lobbying firm that represents Twitter, Facebook, and other online companies, and the Computer and Communications Industry Association. Both claimed the new law was unconstitutional and violated federal law. They argued that the law violated the First Amendment. The court held that the new law was aimed at only large social media businesses, not smaller ones that provide the same services, and made exceptions for Disney and their apps by including that theme park owners wouldn’t be subject to the law. Walt Disney World outside Orlando is one of the state’s largest private employers. The judge held that “The legislation compels providers to host speech that violates their standards—speech they otherwise would not host—and forbids providers from speaking as they otherwise would.”

Quite frankly, I believe this not a First Amendment issue by claiming it violated their policies. At best, the law is probably unconstitutional insofar as it discriminates between companies. I really do not see where Disney should be exempt. The First Amendment doe NOT provide protection for these companies to censor other’s speech.

Foreclosure Madness


Armstrong Economics Blog/Gov’t Incompetence Re-Posted Jul 2, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The White House and other federal agencies jumped into action as state and local governments began screaming that they were not prepared to protect renters if the federal eviction ban expired with regard to rent evictions. The Census Bureau has warned that politicians have created a nightmare with the COVID lockdowns that destroyed jobs. There are now more than six million renter households that are behind on rent, according to a recent survey. Extending this ban on evictions and foreclosures until the end of July just may be why our computer has projected such a while period is coming especially in August.

The pause on evictions and foreclosures for federally backed mortgages shows just how messed up the politicians are when it comes to managing the economy. This is like letting the kids just eat cookies because that’s what they would love to do. We have the European Central Bank lower rates to negative in 2014 and they became trapped. They destroyed their bond markets which then even sent central banks to buying stocks just to diversify because of the systemic risk they created themselves.

Those in power are just incompetent of ever managing the economy. Once they stuck their foot in the door, if they take it out and there is a wave of foreclosures, they will be to blame. So what do they do then? Put the foot back in the door and suspend all mortgages because they have an election in 2022?

Welcome to the reality of big government. They are simply incompetent of managing the economy for they have NO IDEA of how it even functions. They have added two years of crisis to everyone’s mortgages. They never thought about that. They just did whatever they had to in order to carry out the Schwab lockdowns.

Arizona Audit Volunteer Liz Harris Gives Interesting Interview About Status of Maricopa County Ballot Audit and Canvassing


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 2, 2021 | Sundance | 58 Comments

Liz Harris is apparently a volunteer for the Maricopa County audit having previously been a candidate herself.  In this interview Ms. Harris, while qualifying her statements with the non-disclosure agreement, gives an overview of what the audit team has likely uncovered so far.  Additionally, as CTH has previously highlighted, the canvas is the important aspect to the physical ballot review.

Ms. Harris discusses -in broad terms- how the canvassing is being done and how commercials are being deployed throughout the region by “Protect Democracy” the leftist activist group.  It appears the DNC affiliate is running ads in an effort to get canvassed voters to provide them “voter intimidation” ammunition for the DOJ to use against the audit workers.   But wait, it gets worse… AND very familiar for those who walk the deep weeds.

Ms. Harris describes a very familiar tactic previously used by the SEIU operatives (purple orcs we called them), where they impersonate audit canvassers (and/or election workers) and actually do intentionally intimidate the voter (very aggressive).  The canvassed voter then thinks they have been intimidated by an audit worker and reports that conduct to the DOJ who in turn use that evidence against the audit team to file lawsuits.   We saw this exact type of operation carried out by the SEIU in Pennsylvania circa 2007 as the DNC wanted to keep the RNC under a consent decree (long story).  This is also how Bob Creamer operated when he was planting fake protestors in Trump rallies on behalf of Hillary Clinton.

.

I would not be surprised to hear that Bob Creamer’s group has been activated by the DNC to conduct operations in Arizona.  Creamer was the guy who organized the false flag of violent Trump supporters; Democrat activists who pretend to be Trump supporters and get violent.  When Creamer was caught on tape by Project Veritas, he was removed from the DNC network. {STORY}

What Liz Harris describes sounds exactly like a Bob Creamer operation.  If anyone has contacts in/around the Arizona audit team, you might want to let them know who is likely behind the effort being described.

Arizona Chairwoman Kelli Ward Discusses Results of Supreme Court Decision Supporting Arizona Election Reform


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 1, 2021 | Sundance | 197 Comments

GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward provides her reaction to the Arizona state victory in the U.S. Supreme Court case.  Mrs. Ward notes the how “ballot harvesting” is used by many leftist organizations to manipulate voting outcomes, and how Arizona legislature is working to curtail the process that is rife with fraud.

There is also a difference between ballot “harvesting” and another illegal process used which includes using “ballot mules”.

Beyond harvesting completed ballots, the DNC is now using “mail-in ballots” to collect mass numbers of blank ballots from various locations, picked up by paid ballot mules and then transported to a central processing facility where they are filled out by party operatives before being dropped off at voting precincts or drop-box locations.  More on this process will soon be forthcoming.

Big Tech Now Sending Warnings That Users May Have Been Exposed to Extremist Content, Dissident Voices Must Be Controlled


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 1, 2021 | Sundance | 333 Comments

Jumpin’ ju-ju bones, George Orwell was either a time-traveler or he just had incredible prescience. We are all subversives and counter-revolutionaries now!

Facebook users are reporting today that warnings and alerts are showing up on their feeds notifying them they may have been “exposed to extremist content.”  The alerts provide users the option to “Get Support” from some entity that will assist them in deprogramming the unauthorized thoughts that may have followed exposure.

It is easy to see where this ideological control mechanism is going.  Big Tech doesn’t want comrade citizens exposed to thoughts and opinions that might run counter to the approved worldview of the totalitarian state.   It’s actually quite remarkable to see this so publicly pushed, and see them so open about it.

Obviously a visit to the wrong website (your internet travel obviously being tracked by the command and control authorities) will likely trigger the warning.  Visit The Conservative Tree House and receive a warning upon exit “you have been exposed to harmful extremist content”.

I think back to that scene in 2001 A Space Odyssey when Dave Bowman is trying to stop the computer system HAL-9000 (artificial intelligence) from controlling his behavior, control his spacecraft, and ultimately killing him: “Dave, I’m afraid I can’t let you do that”…

Yikes, this approach from Big Tech is creepy as hell.

.

On the positive side of this, the effort is resoundingly going to backfire amid a larger segment of the younger population, they are already using subversive accounts like Fleebook, Flinsta and Fleet to avoid detection amid their online activity.   The rebel alliance will only become more slippery and more focused on the need to approach everything with the insurgency mindset.

Regardless of how much Big Tech, Big Intel and Big Government synergize in their efforts to control human behavior, the Rebel Alliance ultimately wins every long-term contest.   History proves this to be true.  The need for freedom is still an inherent and underlying human condition amid the majority.

As Mike Vanderboegh said so eloquently: “We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.  And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later.”

Rescue Operations Halted in Surfside Florida As Remaining Structure Shifts and Becomes Too Unstable, Biden Visits Rescue Workers


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 1, 2021 | Sundance | 139 Comments

There are numerous laser guided measuring devices located in and around the remaining structure of the collapsed condominiums in Surfside, Florida.  Overnight those devices detected significant movement in the remaining building as well as large cracks developing in the underground garage area.

As a result rescue and recovery workers were pulled from the building as engineers contemplate how to move forward.

(Herald) […] Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Chief Alan Cominsky confirmed the development during a press briefing on Thursday morning. The agonizing decision, he said, was made just after 2 a.m. Cominsky described the threat of a large concrete column hanging over a subterranean parking area, which has moved six to 12 inches. He added that crews were also alerted to widening cracks and “slight movement” in a concrete slab on the southern side of the building.

High-tech monitors aimed at the tenuous pile of debris were responsible for making rescue workers aware of the dangerous shifts. Moments later, they were forced to lower cranes and pull back crews under the darkness of the early morning. (link)

Before the efforts were suspended the recovery workers had pulled more bodies from the rubble. 18 bodies have now been recovered and 145 people remain missing. These unfortunate developments occur as the installed occupant of the White House arrived to thank first-responders and rescue workers for their efforts.

Biden met with around 50 uniformed first responders in a hotel ballroom. “I just wanted to come down and say thanks,” he said, as his monitor Jill Biden stood closely behind him in case her dementia patient started to lose more marbles. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis told the visiting entourage “We thank you for the support, there’s been no bureaucracy. What we need now is we need a little bit of luck, a little bit of prayer.”

The instability of the rescue site provided serendipitous cover for the DC crowd to avoid going to the horrific site of the building collapse. FEMA personnel, The Red Cross, people with the State of Emergency Response Team, and teams from Israel and Mexico are on-site helping with rescue efforts.

Additionally, Tropical Storm Elsa is anticipated to move close to the South Florida area this weekend and early next week [NHC SITE].  In addition to the instability of the rescue site, the weather has been an ongoing battle.

Supreme Court Upholds Arizona Voting Reforms With 6-3 Ruling – Justice Alito: Preventing Voter Fraud is a “strong and entirely legitimate state interest”


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on July 1, 2021 | Sundance | 215 Comments

A major win for voting integrity laws in the Supreme Court today will enhance the ability of all state legislatures, and further define the parameters and hurdles for lower court activists before they can rule against the rights of states to secure their elections.

The 6-3 ruling (Bryer, Sotomayor, Kagan in dissent) stems from a challenge to the 2016 Arizona election reform that banned ballot harvesting (with some exceptions) and nullified any ballot cast in the wrong precinct.  Democrats and political activists argued the Arizona rules were targeted to restrict minority votes; however, the majority of the court dispatched that argument and went a step further to define how lower courts should approach claims of ‘disparate impact’.

Front row, left to right: Associate Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr., Associate Justice Clarence Thomas, Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., Associate Justice Stephen G. Breyer, and Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor. Back row, left to right: Associate Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh, Associate Justice Elena Kagan, Associate Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, and Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

Justice Samuel Alito wrote the decision [pdf available HERE] and strongly defended the ability of states to put voting rules in place that eliminates voter fraud.  Alito concluded the ruling of the majority by stating courts should look at the reason why states want to impose a particular voting rule. Wanting to prevent voter fraud is, Alito made clear, a “strong and entirely legitimate state interest.”

The result is a complete win for the State of Arizona [Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee] and a strong boost for all state legislatures who are currently in the process of creating legislation to combat the voting fraud created by excessive use of mail-in ballots, ultimately the strategy purposefully behind the creation of COVID-19.

SCOTUS BLOG – […] “The Democratic National Committee went to federal court in 2016, arguing that both restrictions violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit agreed, but the Supreme Court decided to review that decision, and on Thursday it reversed.

In his opinion, Alito observed that the Supreme Court has never weighed in on a Section 2 challenge to a law regulating the “time, place, or manner” of voting. Rather, voting-rights advocates have typically used Section 2 to bring “vote-dilution” lawsuits – challenges to redistricting maps that are alleged to dilute minorities’ voting power.

The “core” of Section 2, Alito emphasized, is the “requirement that voting be ‘equally open.’” And the determination of whether voting is “equally open” to all, he added, should be made taking all of the circumstances into account.  (continue reading)

Democrats and the installed current occupant of the White House, a cognitively declining figurehead who benefited from wholesale voter fraud and mail-in ballot manipulation, are apoplectic at the decision by the supreme court. Joe Biden issued a statement criticizing the supreme court’s decision to uphold two voting restrictions in Arizona.

“I am deeply disappointed in today’s decision by the United States Supreme Court that undercuts the Voting Rights Act, and upholds what Justice Kagan called ‘a significant race-based disparity in voting opportunities,’” the installed executive decried.   The people behind the installation shake their fists because the court’s decision comes as various state legislators are making it much more difficult to cheat.   [White House Statement HERE]

Election Fraud


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Jul 1, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Martin,

I am an election manager (coordinator) in —- and I have been observing the election fraud situation.

In the states that are at issue, there were stark similarities.  To even think that one day, lots of people woke up and used the same techniques is stupidly naive.  In my estimation as a Washingtonian, the 2020 Election was a massive racketeering that had bad actors behind it and a great deal of money involved and Trillions of Dollars at stake.  We never had such a massive election fraud.

As a Washingtonian, the obvious answer is the Deep State and at a minimum, the coordination by the CIA, which is a Black Ops.

If you followed Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Michigan, etc.  You see the same pattern.  An Italian computer systems engineer, one of the top in the world, gave an affidavit in a Naples, Italy court that he was “summoned” to the US Embassy in Rome and given orders to upload new algorithms to the Dominion machines to fix the election.  I do not recall reading who gave him the orders, but CIA and State come to mind, especially when Giuliani said that if he had been running State, as he desired, he would have fired the top 10%, who were Obama loyalists.

In short, the Deep State.  All of these were people, who should have been indicted, but for a Justice Department, which was infiltrated by the Deep State.  In short, if Trump had done nothing more than clean the deep Washington sewer, he would have had time for nothing else.

The Scuttlebutt out of Arizona, is that the fraud was massive.  I suspect that Governor Ducey was complicit, as he has refused to sign election reform legislation, even in the light of reports of terrible election misconduct, to the degree that the Arizona Senate has hired a company to do a forensic audit of the voting machines.  Cyber Ninjas has now finished over half of the 2.1 million ballots.

The Democrats and Rinos have done everything they can to discredit the Kinematic audit, but at this point, enough has been completed to paint a dreary picture.

This is not a matter of smart politicians, as you allege.  It is fairly clear that China was involved, that Soros was involved, that Hillary (Perkins Coie) was complicit, that the CIA was involved and I would guess other large players such as the Pharmaceutical Industry threw in its lot.  I strongly believe that Obama was behind this and Biden certainly knew about this and is fearful that as the Fraud emerges, his role will eventually be uncovered.

One would think that all of this would be of interest to the Department of Justice, eh?  One would be wrong!

The Republicans cannot pull this because they are not unified and do not control the levers of power.  Here in New York, we are a solid Democratic State where the population is.  All you have to do is realize that the children are being brainwashed by Teachers who are members of the Teachers Union.

In short, this is a battle for America and unless Section 230 is repealed and NY Times vs. Sullivan is reversed, things will only get worse.

If Jovan Pulitzer was offered $10 million to walk away from the audits, you can just imagine what judges and politicians have been offered.  My guess is that untraceable bitcoins are the medium of  exchange.

You did not mention in your blog, but it would have been appropriate, that at the very last minute, when the full forensic audit was to begin in Georgia on May 28th, the Judge postponed it for a month.  How convenient!  That trick almost worked in Arizona but was thwarted by an honest judge stepping in.

If you think I am a conspiracy theorist in this, you are darn well correct.  I lived through almost twenty years of an actual criminal conspiracy in Brooklyn and I can tell you that the Democrats control the levers of power including the Courts and without money to fight corruption, one will have a hard time staying in the game.

It would not be possible for a country-wide election fraud on this level to be conducted by the Republicans without control of the courts, the CIA and the Justice Department and FBI.  Obama weaponized these Agencies and stayed in Washington, which in itself is unprecedented.  In short, Obama is now pulling the strings in the White House with the complicity of the Media, the Press and Big Tech.  The COVID virus is nothing compared to the Democrats.

One of the comments in another blog was the allegation that a Biden brother in law “owns” Dominion.

I strongly question that.  However, I found that of the two people listed as principal owners, one I found to be very very close to Obama.  I also found that a Chinese Securities firm UBS, was located across Sixth Avenue in NYC from Dominion and that UBS “loaned” Dominion $600 million between 2018 and October 2020.  Also, UBS is controlled by CCP members.  That information should be of interest.  The plot thickens.  A Blumberg video of Ruby Freeman in Georgia, when slowed down, clearly showed that in the course of her managing the counting of the “mail-in” ballots, she had in her hands a large mailing envelope with the letters “S F”.  That just happens to be the Fedex of China.  (The video of this was in a recent blog of Jovan Pulitzer and I would think, should have been shown to the Judge in Georgia, along with the video of the same Ruby Freeman pulling out those ballot-stuffed suitcases from under a table after the monitors left.)

Thus, in your recital of Georgia corruption, you only touched the very tip of the corrupt peach.

REPLY: Everything I have seen behind the curtain points to massive fraud. This was absolutely critical to the Schwab consortium. He already controls Europe and the head of the IMF, as well as the European Central Bank, are on his board as was the head of the EU. This was strategic to get rid of Trump for he was standing in the way. The CIA delayed the release of the Kennedy papers until April 2021 when they KNEW Trump would be gone. Trump allowed that date after the election assuming he would win.

This is not about Trump v Biden. That is so unimportant. This has been a global agenda for they KNOW in their minds the reason Marxism failed the last time was because they did not have the USA and Europe as well. If the entire world was a Marxist government, they have argued for decades it would have e worked. The audits will come out after the summer. The left will scream foul and the mainstream press has already decided it is a Trump fraud. The criminal charges against Trump’s company are propaganda FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES.  For months they said they would be bringing criminal charges against Trump himself. This is now down to an 80-year-old man for free parking he should have paid taxes on?

They could not indict Trump because they would have to actually prove something. Going after his company is nonsense but it is all so they can slander him for any election should he dare try to run again. I would not put it past them if they tried to make sure he dies of some disease by 2024. What this indictment of an 80-year-old man shows is that we seriously need MAJOR reform of our legal system. Prosecutions should NEVER be allowed for political purposes. The prosecutors here are abusing their power for personal political gain which is also a crime, but prosecutors will never indict themselves.

This is even beyond money. This is about total power!

2 Million People Protest in London


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Jul 1, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The two days of protests in London have been impressive to show that resistance is not futile with at least 1 million people per day (some estimates were 2 million), the interesting aspect b behind the curtain is that the Boris Johnson government does not “give a shit” according to sources. Unfortunately, the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are really on board with trying to destroy the economy and to move the economy into a controlled state for the future. The talk of using the variants as the excuse to lock people down into the Spring of 2022 continues to circulate. The general belief is that they can prevail by destroying enough of the economy thereby forcing a greater proportion of the people to rely upon the government for their guaranteed basic income and the government will thereby end borrowing and will be able to simply terminate their national debts.

Uncovering the Fauci Cover-Up


Armstrong Economics Blog/Conspiracy Re-Posted Jul 1, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

From the information I got from the very outset that this virus was (1) created in a lab, (2) it was deliberately released, and (3) it was impeccable timing to launch the Great Reset. I have stated that I had information from a very reliable source about a “virus was coming,” and people were selling assets ahead of the March 2020 COVID Crash, which our computer identified as a manipulation.

Then we have people sending this around claiming it is from Klaus Schwab’s book. This is absolutely FALSE. I have all his books and checked to confirm it is not in any. This is the standard operating procedure to put out something of this nature that is easily determined to be false in order to then claim ALL OTHER messages are “conspiracy theories” to discredit everything else. This allows people to hide in plain sight.

We do not need to make up shit. There is plenty of evidence that this has been orchestrated from the outset. The real question that needs to be asked: Was Fauci part of this plot or a stupid fool manipulated as the fall guy? There is NO indication that this was a simple lab leak by chance. I maintain that based upon the goings-on behind the curtain, it was INTENTIONAL, and I suspect that Fauci was NOT IN ON IT. Fauci was the perfect dufus to set up just as Lee Harvey Oswald in the Kennedy situation or the claimed guards who fell asleep during Epstein’s orchestrated suicide — also very convenient. Let’s see if his girlfriend ever makes it to trial. My money is against that one, or the judge will prevent her from calling witnesses as they did in John Gotti’s fake trial.

In the trial of John Gotti, Salvatore “Sammy the Bull” Gravano testified against him and was released while Gotti got life. Sammy testified that every murder he did was on Gotti’s orders. The judge would NOT ALLOW the fact out that Sammy had killed probably 60 people, most of which were not related to anything. Cousin Eddie, who was sentenced to 30 years for a conspiracy to kill his brother-in-law Sammy, told me long ago that Sammy came by the house the drop off Christmas presents for his children. He went out to the car to get the presents, and Sammy opened the trunk, and there was a dead body in there. Eddie asked who that was, and Sammy said the bastard cut him off on the road.

The judge would NEVER allow any such evidence to be presented because it might “prejudice” the jury and make them think the people he might not have been ordered to kill by John Gotti. Such is the way “fair trials” are carried out in New York. Sammy the Bull was charged for another crime, and the same Judge Leo Glasser sentenced him to life. Judge Glasser was born in 1924 and is 97 and still on the bench.
