The National Treasury Employees Union has come out to offer their full support to the Harris-Walz campaign. Is anyone surprised that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is in favor of a Kamala presidency?
Kamala Harris prides herself on passing the Inflation Reduction Act, the largest spending measure in US history, that initially aimed to employ an additional 87,000 IRS agents. Then the Biden-Harris Administration provided these agents with far more than the power to audit and steal from Americans.
The Biden Administration began arming select IRS agents in 2022 and providing them with basic military training. Accountants were trained by the federal government to raid private residences. Biden attempted to recruit an additional 87,000 agents but was temporarily blocked. IRS agents now must complete “firearms, defensive tactics, and building entry.” This militarized branch of the government is expected “to apply the appropriate degree of force necessary to safely carry out enforcement activities, including issuing search warrants, arrests, surveillance, dignitary protection, undercover activities, and seizures.”
Why would an IRS agent require training to SHOOT Americans and raid their homes?
Back in the 1970s, I had two armed IRS agents barge in with guns and handcuffs, claiming I owed payroll taxes. I immediately called my accountant who handled payroll who told the agents over the phone that he wrote and distributed the checks. It just so happened I was getting refund checks often, and I actually had one on my desk at the time. I asked why their agency was sending me refund checks if I owed them money. They looked at the check, and it had some code they recognized that denoted it was a refund for payroll taxes. It turned out to be a computer error on their part, and every time we would send in the payroll taxes, it kept trying to apply it to one month, where I owed $2 and promptly refunded the rest. Since the checks were addressed to me personally, I had no idea there was any distinction. The agents left, and I had to pay interest to cash the checks, which I somehow should have known was their mistake.

That was about 50 years ago when the IRS has some restraint. Imagine what the IRS would do now to American families and businesses who are simply attempting to keep up with the ever-changing tax codes?
The IRS has been positioned as an enemy of the people. The government wrongly believes that a portion of every cent earned belongs to them, and somehow they could manage their spending if greedy citizens were paying their fair share. It will become far easier for governments to extort the people when they introduce CBDC in January 2025, and perhaps these armed agents will be out of a job. For now, we must acknowledge that Harris and Walz have every intention of hunting down Americans for taxes to fund their lofty spending packages and wars.

Donald Trump has vowed to put a halt to the invasion of America if re-elected. First and foremost, US politicians must stop enticing people to travel to America to seek sanctuary. “I’m announcing a new plan to end all sanctuary cities in North Carolina and all across our country,” Trump announced at a recent rally.
“We will send them home where they belong,” he said. “I will ask Congress to pass a law outlawing sanctuary cities nationwide, and we will bring down the full weight of the federal government on any jurisdiction that refuses to cooperate with ICE,” Trump said on sanctuary cities.
This is crucial as immigration must be blanketed as a federal concern. We cannot have certain states or cities enticing foreigners to travel there by any means necessary and then using federal funds to support their work-free lives. Any politician who actively aids in the invasion of America should be charged with obstruction of justice at a minimum. Trump has called Kamala Harris the “invasion president” as she proudly encouraged tens of millions of unvetted migrants to enter America AND has no plan to curtail the new arrivals.
ViLook at the tragic case of 22-year-old Laken Riley, a student who was brutally murdered by a migrant. US Customs and Border Protection arrested the Venezuelan migrant in September 2022. He was quickly released and sent on a bus to the sanctuary city of New York. A year later, the NYPD arrested him for endangering the life of his own son. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) did not step in, and the sanctuary city placed the safety of the migrant criminal before its own citizens – he was shortly released for the second time. A month later, he was arrested for stealing from a Walmart in Athens, GA, another sanctuary city, but again, he faced no consequences. The system emboldened him to commit increasingly heinous crimes, as there are simply no consequences for migrants. He and his extended family were enjoying a taxpayer-subsidized life. The coward was likely surprised that he was charged with raping and murdering Laken Riley, as the politicization of migrants has become more important than national security.
What did President Joe Biden do? He apologized for calling the murderer an “illegal” instead of a “migrant” and refused to acknowledge Laken Riley’s family for months.
Riley is one of hundreds if not thousands of innocent citizens who have fallen victim to migrant crime. The Democrat-run cities refuse to prosecute these criminals all for political circus.
Crime is half of the problem. These sanctuary cities are deeply in debt. They have nowhere to house these migrants. Hospitals have been overrun. Contracts to house and feed these people indefinitely have become utterly corrupt, with third parties securing lucrative deals with the city to spend more on migrants than the average working American would spend on themselves.
ViMigration MUST be a federal issue. The Guarantee Clause in Article IV, Section 4 obligates the federal government to protect states from invasion but the Constitution has been utterly ignored under Biden-Harris.
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion"

COMMENT: I have concluded that you are correct after fighting against you with friends for so long. We have become insanely divided. It is not a cultural or economic policy that changed my mind. What you have said about civilization is correct. We do not respect others, and I agree civilization cannot survive this way. I was generally for abortion. But calling pro-like people terrorists is just insane. I can no longer support the Democrats, and that has been a significant change in my life.
I promised I would write this mea culpa.
PNL
REPLY: Civilization works only when we all benefit. Politics has degenerated into hatred, and people push to win only to punish the other side. We cannot remain a unified nation, and this is becoming extremely dangerous. We can see the US break up and even Canada. The LEFT always projects itself as the victim, which suggests that the RIGHT must be punished. No society has EVER withstood such division.

QUESTION: Do you agree that Trump supported the digital ID to control the border?
OB
ANSWER: I do not know your source, but it sounds like someone who just attributes whatever idea takes place during a presidential term to whoever is president. Perhaps that is one way to do research, but it tends to reflect more of a lack of actual experience with Washington.
Under that definition, you would attribute the Iraq war to George Bush, Jr. rather than Dick Cheney and the Neocons who seized control of the Bush White House. Even today, assuming Biden is making any of these strategic geopolitical decisions would only again reveal the total lack of understanding of what takes place behind the curtain among the UNELECTED members of the Deep State.
Ascribing the idea of digital IDs to Trump is just as absurd as attributing the economic bounce in employment post-COVID to Biden or some policy he created when it was just reopening the economy. Anyone who seeks to attribute whatever issue or trend to the president does not understand how this government functions. They only look in from the outside in, with no experience from ever being on the inside.
That same type of analysis attributed the Great Depression to Herbert Hoover (1874–1964), who became the 31st president of the United States on March 4th, 1929. That analysis was used to blame the Republicans when international capital flow shifts were used to sell socialism to the United States. The New York Times and the press were pushing Communism on America during the Great Depression and trashed Hoover, blaming him for everything.
Capital flows shifted in 1927, and money was being returned to Europe after seeking safety in the USA during World War I. The Sovereign Default and most European governments defaulting on their nation’s debts in 1931 sealed the fate and wiped out banks and people’s savings here in America.
Nevertheless, it was during the New Deal that the real communists infiltrated Roosevelt’s Administration. The New York Times celebrated Joseph Stalin and communism as the future and cure for the Great Depression. Their top journalist, Walter Duranty (1884-1957), even convinced Roosevelt to recognize Russia. Duranty met with Roosevelt to convince him that Communism was working and to encourage his New Deal. The mainstream press in the 1930s was very much touting Communism. They wanted to hear of Utopia – the land where the economy only expanded and never declined, even into a recession. So, mainstream media reported only what they wanted to believe, as they are doing once again.
On March 31, 1933, New York Times (NYT) journalist Walter Duranty denounced reports of famine to cover up the fact that Stalin stole all the food from Ukraine. The NYT was so pro-Communism that this was the natural infiltration of Reds, but nobody did anything about that. They wanted to hear of Utopia and so reported only what they wanted to believe, as they are doing once again. The New York Times even promoted Duranty to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize for reporting fake news.
When Gareth Jones (1905-1935) in March of 1933 said this was all a lie, the truth finally began to appear. It took the New York Times until 1990 to admit they engaged in fake news pushing communism, covering up the famine in Ukraine to suggest that Stalinism was the Utopia they wanted to impose in the United States. The NYT wrote that their reporting on the Russian Revolution constituted “some of the worst reporting to appear in this newspaper.” Duranty also did this to support Roosevelt’s New Deal. He helped install drastic progressiveness in taxation.

Most people have no idea that the idea of Armageddon – the End Times- is not merely just in the Bible and confined to Christianity. You have the Orthodox Jews also assuming this is the time that their Messiah will arrive. Then there is Islam, which, according to Islamic tradition, Jesus’ return as a Messenger of Islam will be preceded by wars led by the Mahdi (the rightly guided one) and by the appearance of the Dajjal (the Antichrist).
There is certainly a religious component to the turmoil both in Ukraine, where Zelensky is outlawing Orthodox Christianity, and in the Middle East, over the Dome of the Rock. Many want to see the Dome of the Rock destroyed, assuming this will bring the Second Coming. Whatever you believe, the question is clear: destroy the Dome of the Rock, and there will certainly be a major war. Will that be the Second Coming if deliberately instigated?
I have been there. This is the rock where the Jews say Abraham brought his son to be sacrificed. This is the same rock from which Mohamed ascended to heaven in Islam. This does not leave any room for any compromise on this issue.
There is no question that the world is becoming deeply divided. This is turning into not just a war for power, but many see this as a religious war. There is a cycle to everything, including religion. Upheavals involving religion have been documented even back into ancient Egyptian times. Just in 1844, there were violent clashes and gun battles on the streets of Philadelphia between Protestants who resented Irish Catholics coming in during economic hard times and taking local jobs. Such events have been dramatic when they coincide with economic decline as we are headed into 2028.
Akhenaten (Achencres), who ruled in Egypt around 1350BC, instigated a political and religious revolution, moving the capital to a new city at a site known today as Amarna and attempting to change the religion of Egypt to sole worship of the sun-disk or Aten. Akhetaten instituted a significant shift in Egyptian artistic styles alongside a campaign of intolerance towards the traditional gods and a new emphasis on a state monolatristic tradition focused on the god Aten, the Sun disk. He launched a campaign destroying many temples and monuments. This was the first real iconoclastic movement that would later engulf Christianity during the 8th century AD.
We know that his reign was chaotic, attempting to change the religious culture of any society as Zelensky is doing to the Russians in the Donbas. Even the Pope has come out against Zelensky. Religious upheavals have littered the historical landscape for millenniums. We also know that Akhenaten’s family was killed except for one daughter who fled perhaps to Scotland. Three short-lived Pharaohs, including Tutankhamun, succeeded him.
Of course, we have the rise of Christianity. While Nero (54-68AD) blamed the Christians for setting the Great Fire of 64AD, that is at least understandable since many were blaming him, and he needed a scapegoat. It was not really a persecution due to their religion. It is just the Christians refused to respect the religion of anyone else, which made them outsiders and radicals.
We also know that the short-lived Roman Emperor Elagabalus (218-222AD) attempted to introduce his religion, claiming that this black meteor fell from God to symbolize they were the chosen people. He issued coins showing the Stone of Messa (Syria) being presented to the people of Rome carried around on a chariot.
His reign was notorious for religious fanaticism, cruelty, bloodshed, and excesses of every description, and there was general satisfaction when, on March 6th, 222, Elagabalus and his mother, Julia Soaemias, were murdered in the praetorian camp. Their bodies were dragged through the streets of Rome and thrown into the Tiber. The Romans at least respectfully returned the black Stone to Emesa to where he had stood.
The Roman Emperor Aurelian (270-275AD) also introduced the Eastern sun god Sol into the Roman religion. This took hold, for he was presented as invincible, for he rose every day doing battle with the moon every night. The symbols of the halo and even his feast day, December 25th, were adopted into Christianity.
The persecution of Christians during the late 3rd century AD under Diocletian (284-305AD) was because of all the turmoil and barbarian invasions. They blamed the Christians for making the gods angry by refusing to honor them when there would be national prayers to save the empire.
You then have Constantine the Great (309-337AD) declared Christianity the state religion in 312AD. Nearly 300 years later we have the rise of Islam. There were plenty of religious upheavals within that period, including the Iconoclastic upheaval.
One notable change within the Byzantine Empire came in 695AD when Justinian II’s (685-695AD) government added a full-face image of Christ on the obverse of imperial gold coins. The change caused the Caliph Abd al-Malik (661-750AD) to stop the use of Byzantine coinage introducing a purely Islamic coinage with lettering only.
Indeed, the next cycle in religious upheaval is due by 2031. We most certainly live in interesting times and the LEFT is anti-religious. Under Communism, they converted churches to museum of activism.
Are the Democrats just Marxists and are indeed anti-religious?

Chief Cabinet Secretary Hayashi held an emergency press conference reporting a confrontation between Russian planes that violated Japanese airspace north of Rebun Island in Hokkaido several times. The Cycle of Civil War in Korea turns up in 2025 and our computer is pointing to an escalation of conflicts starting in 2025 and we even see a Panic Cycle in 2025 in Japan.
At the 2011 World Economic Conference 2011, I stood up and warned that our computer and its cycle of war would turn up in 2014. In 2013, I even warned that the computer had targeted Ukraine. They are coming out with a sequel to the movie on me titled The Forecaster. The trailer should be out soon. They are showing all the forecasts that have been made since they were there filming in 2011. They want to show how this computer has laid out the future with incredible accuracy. They even asked me how it has been to live through the forecasts the computer has made.
At this WEC in November, it may be the last time people can physically attend. They are planning on introducing Digital IDs to restrict travel. Those in power realize it is slipping away. We will be covering the prospect of war now on all four fronts. Biden has just announced he is sending more troops to the Middle East after Israel has been bombing Lebanon.

The United States and Britain have NOT authorized Ukraine to use long-range missiles on targets inside Russia after the US Pentagon clipped the wings of Bliken and Silivan. At the meeting between Biden and Stamer, who had his little red bag with all the selected targets in Russia the Brits wanted to hit, you could see how angry Biden was when asked about Putin. The Pentagon shut down Blinken’s quest for war. Fearing an escalation of hostilities, it was the US Military/Department of Defense that overruled Biden, who was incompetent to lead the nation, compelling the Pentagon to step in to block the Neocons.
Video PlIt took the military to stage a SOFT coup and shut down Biden and his Neocons from taking us into World War III. This is totally insane, and Blinken and Sulivan should be dragged out of the White House and put on trial for treason using the power of the United States for personal gain and vengeance, as well as for conspiring to commit crimes against humanity.
Zelensky was forced to admit the US and UK shut down his “Victory Plan” to destroy Russia, for it is clear that this pretend military leader and head of state just does what the American Neocons tell him. His experience is confined to running around half-naked in high heels. He is an absolute disgrace to Ukraine, and the entire world, and Ukraine is being sacrificed on the Neocon altar of world domination. Zelensky commented that he hoped US leader Joe Biden would change his mind. This deranged, greedy leader of Ukraine brags that when he defeats Russia, Ukraine will be the biggest investment opportunity in European history. He is counting his billions before the war ever ends.
Then, the EU Parliament issued a non-binding decree requiring European member states to immediately hand over long-range missiles to Zelensky. We have to wonder if there are any political leaders anywhere in the West who are not voting as they are told by the Neocons, including NATO.
Meanwhile, they are flying Zelensky around to the key states with taxpayer money to campaign for Kamala—another clear indication that this election is between World War III and We the People. Zelensky was flown to Pennsylvania on a U.S. Air Force C-17. Kamala is using military assets to fly this high-heeled dancing head of a disgraceful country into a battleground state to undermine Trump, who voted to end that war ASAP.
If they can transform this into a world leader, it’s not hard to see them do the same for Kamala and her word salads.
This is allowing corruption that puts at risk Western Civilization.

The DOJ has released a letter reportedly written by Ryan Wesley Routh, the man accused of attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump on September 15 in Florida.
Within a court filing {SEE HERE} the Department of Justice (DOJ) is releasing the letter. According to information within the DOJ filing, Ryan Routh asked a friend to keep a box of his belongings. After the failed assassination, the friend opened the box and discovered the letter. Subsequently the DOJ publishes the letter through the court filing, seemingly to stimulate someone to follow Routh’s wishes.
Immediately, people noticed how the DOJ would never normally publish a letter or manifesto that would stimulate the mentally unstable. [SEE HERE] However, when it comes to Donald Trump, all the DOJ/FBI customary defensive moves are thrown out. Remember, Donald Trump is their target, never considered a victim.
The letter was transparently released in an effort to do exactly what the DOJ/FBI says is the reason why they never permit such evidence to be released. Quite simply, they want a mentally unstable person to review and receive the message and act upon it.
If the DOJ did not want someone to follow up on the bounty from Routh, they wouldn’t release it; after all, it’s dangerous.
ANCILLARY QUESTION: How did Ryan Routh assemble $150,000 for his bounty on the head of President Trump?

Hopefully everyone can see the assembly of datapoints that are creating the 2024 redux of 2016. Previously we noted how Iran is the new cover story to justify investigative leaks and throw a legal bag over Trump surveillance. [SEE HERE]. Iran 2024 replaces Russia 2016.
Now we see another similar datapoint in advance of the IC’s next move. Devlin Barrett moves from the Wall Street Journal/Washington Post to New York Times.
As the Trump-Russia script is replayed, Devlin Barrett replaces Ali Watkins as the IC leak recipient who joins the New York Times in advance of the October surprise launch against President Trump.
The reference points most people are familiar with here, is Ali Watkins moving to the New York Times after she received the leaked [and non-redacted] full Carter Page FISA warrant, on March 17, 2017 from SSCI Security Director James Wolfe.
Wolfe leaked the Carter Page FISA application to journalist Ali Watkins. Despite Wolfe’s lawyer denials; and despite Ali Watkins denials; and despite Yahoo denials; and despite The Washington Post denials; and despite the New York Times denials; Wolfe DID leak the FISA application.
The reason the media needs to deny the leak is because these same media outlets were falsely reporting everything about the FISA application. The biggest names in U.S. media (WaPo and NYT) had the full and unredacted FISA application in March of 2017, and spent the next 15 months lying about the content to support the fraudulent Trump-Russia narrative. Heck, Ali Watkins was likely hired by the New York Times -from Buzzfeed- specifically because she had the FISA application.
The media had the full and unredacted FISA application in March 2017, two months before the Robert Mueller special counsel even started. The FISA application was made public by the special counsel on July 21, 2018, partly because the media already had the FISA in circulation. The media had the application for sixteen months before it was made public, by the special counsel, one month after James Wolfe was indicted. (more)
Moving to the New York Times brings in bigger institutional lawyers who can guide the exploitation of the classified documents. ie. how to write about them, shape the story to the best narrative against the adversary (in this example President Trump) and avoid legal jeopardy.
The NYT works in synergy with the DOJ-NSD, toward common political ends. After James Wolfe leaked the FISA application to Watkins, the NYT exploited the content, writing about it, shaping information to their journalistic allies, and seemingly pretending they do not have it (because it was illegal).
Devlin Barrett was the person used by Lisa Page, Peter Strock and Mike Kortan to leak DOJ/FBI information about the Steele Dossier investigation. Barrett works on the outside of the DOJ/FBI silos, sharing information that is shaped from inside the DOJ/FBI and in some cases DHS. He is a stenographer for their presentations to the public.
Barrett jumping from WSJ to NYT is proactive positioning in advance of Trump term-2. Nothing more. The IC likely has provided him direct information about ongoing operations, and the NYT will legally guide Barrett’s reporting on it.
If 2016 continues to be replayed, look for Devlin Barrett to be the vessel for the IC moves against President Donald Trump.
