John McAfee Didn’t Kill Himself

And Neither did Epstein..

Another mega millionaire has allegedly committed suicide in prison. John McAfee was found dead in his jail cell, but the details remain sketchy. The libertarian rebel made it clear many times—he would never kill himself. He even had a tattoo testifying to that. Yet he is gone and the question is, what will his ‘kill switch’ reveal? Apparently the ‘Q’ that was posted on Instagram contain coding that might be key to unlock that switch.

Will information be revealed that shows us the evil that is being done by the ruling elite? In my opinion it’s unlikely. If McAfee could have revealed the truth about what’s going on by the global elitists, why didn’t he do it already? Obviously the oligarchs weren’t afraid of the kill switch. They wanted him whacked in Spain. Killing him as soon as he landed in an American prison cell would have been too obvious.

We don’t really need the kill switch to know what’s going on. We already know. They know we know. Like Solzhenitsyn once said, “They lie to us, we know they’re lying, they know we know they’re lying, but they keep lying to us, and we keep pretending to believe them.” In the Soviet Union you had to pretend or face a gulag assignment. Or a bullet to the back of the head. In America, we still have a few vestiges of freedom left, so don’t believe them—and speak out against them! McAfee was killed for speaking out to some degree, but they can’t whack all of us.

Judge Delivers Ruling in Fulton County, Georgia, Ballot Audit


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 24, 2021 | Sundance | 85 Comments

One step forward; however, in the longer term I fear this is two steps back…  The next lawfare chess move looks transparent, but maybe I’m wrong.

In the Atlanta ballot lawsuit Henry County Superior Court Chief Judge Brian Amero has granted the ability of Fulton county, the county elections board, and county courts clerk, as offices, to be removed as defendants in the lawsuit filed by Garland Favorito and nine plaintiffs. However, Judge Amero kept the lawsuit alive by granting the plaintiffs’ request to add individual members of the county board of elections as respondents.

The problem this presents is transparent. The next move by Lawfare lawyers representing opposition to the case will be for each of the individual members to now claim sovereign immunity as none of their specifically individual actions will be identified as contributing to any ballot fraud. This level of legal confidence seems present in the defense statements after the ruling was released:

“Don Samuel, an attorney for the Fulton elections board, said he planned to file motions to dismiss the claims against the board members because there are no allegations they had a role in counting the county’s ballots.” (link)

Favorito released a statement showing confidence in the result.  However, CTH is not so sure.

(link to VoterGA)

Perhaps the plaintiff lawyers have a good argument to focus on the individual board members, but in my experience any petition therein would have to show direct evidence linking a specific person to the specific harm claimed by the plaintiff.

If the Fulton County board of elections is not responsible for the way the ballot counting was handled, it seems challenging to identify a specific member of that board who would be responsible.  I’m not a lawyer, but that’s the way the defense argument seems to be framed.

The bottom line in this private civil lawsuit is the harm needs to be identified in order for the discovery, the actual inspection of the 147,000 absentee ballots, to be conducted.  The plaintiff is alleging harm based on the sworn depositions of election workers.  However, the defense is telling the court that a specific person will need to be identified as responsible for the alleged fraud the election workers are claiming to have witnessed.  This is a typical Lawfare catch-22.

The solution for this is obviously the Georgia Senate ordering an audit of those ballots via a legislative subpoena.  However, it doesn’t appear the Georgia legislature has taken any steps toward that goal.

I may be wrong, but I am less optimistic now than before.

As Expected Political Pelosi Announces January 6th Select Committee to Support Mid-Term Election Roadmap


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 24, 2021 | Sundance | 194 Comments

The January 6th House Select Committee investigation is to MAGA voters what the Mueller Investigation was to President Trump.  A tool to attack political opposition and frame a narrative for the 2022 mid-term election.  Nothing more.    [Video at 04:45 Prompted]

January 6th Select Committee will be entirely run by democrats and their Lawfare operatives within staff. The purpose of that committee will carry the same intents as the Mueller investigation in 2017 through 2019: to frame a narrative against their political opposition. The difference this time will be that President Trump is not the sole target; the Pelosi January 6th committee will be using Alinsky methods to target Trump voters.

Because the larger mid-term election operation requires it, the House Select Committee was a foregone conclusion.  The only question was how many DeceptiCons would join with Pelosi to execute it.  If Republicans are smart, not likely, the entire GOP House caucus should boycott the insufferable pantomime, leave the stage, let the Democrats do their silly show…. and use Alinsky moves against the Left by ridiculing and marginalizing their performances in real time.

Alas, the GOP are an insufferably annoying and predictable bunch of purposeful idiots, and -as a result- they will likely end up participating because they will say they need to counter the Leftist narrative or something… and the only way they can do that is by providing the democrats with legitimacy. This is how DeceptiCons roll.

Do not be naive to think the GOP want the FBI involvement in the January 6 events to be exposed any more than the Republican wing of the UniParty wanted to see the IRS targeting of conservative groups exposed. The vast majority of DC republicans want to see the MAGA base destroyed just like they wanted to see the Tea Party base destroyed so they could get back to the business of self-indulgence in 2012.

Investigations are only done by DC to serve their own interests.  Sometimes those interests are in throwing a bag over DC corruption: Fast n Furious, Benghazi Committee, IRS scandal and the VA scandal for recent reference points.  However, sometimes those DC interests are best protected by targeting opposition to DC itself, just like the Weissmann/Mueller special counsel and the upcoming House Select Committee.

Again, the legislative branch was/is working with the executive branch on the common objectives of a corrupt intelligence apparatus, that includes the FBI {examples here}. So the legislative branch is not going to investigate intelligence community or FBI corruption.  The HPSCI and SSCI are participants in the corruption, they will not investigate themselves regardless of whether Democrats or Republicans control the chambers.  This is not a partisan issue.

The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) was not only involved in the intelligence targeting of President Trump through surveillance and counterintelligence operations; the SSCI was actively participating in that targeting and doing everything they could to assist the FBI, DOJ and Intelligence community (IC) on that goal.

The MAGA voters (the republican base) will be targeted, ridiculed and marginalized in the run up to the 2022 election. They will be made to look like domestic terrorists, “Domestic Violent Extremists”, and much worse as defined by narrative engineering between a corrupt House, corrupt FBI, and a corrupt U.S. corporate media. That is the entire purpose of Nancy Pelosi’s House Select Committee.

The only way to avoid the scheme is not to play the game.

As we always note, watch who wants to participate from the GOP side of the aisle.  Those are the DeceptiCons, the implants into the system purchased by larger elements like BlackRock financial.  DeceptiCons are essentially interchangeable with BlackRock Republicans.  The system, the administrative state, is designed this way….  The parties are clubs presented to give the illusion of choice.  Those who control the outcomes of government are never on a ballot.

Champlain Towers Collapse, Surfside Florida – Unknown Number of Fatalities, 99 People Missing


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 24, 2021 | Sundance | 306 Comments

Reunification Hotline 305-614-1819

Champlain Towers is a 12 story condominium building located in the small, beachside town of Surfside, Florida, about six miles north of Miami Beach. Miami-Dade County police said 53 residents have been identified and located safely; however, as many as 99 people are reported missing. There were about 55 units in the tower that collapsed.

The collapse happened at approximately 1:30am this morning.

The building is 40-years old and is located in an area very familiar to CTH. This is an affluent community with many Jewish residents.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the missing and their families. CCTV from a neighboring complex shows the center of the tower gave way first, with the rest of the structure collapsing into a pile of rubble. The cause of the collapse is unknown.

Surfside Commissioner Eliana Salzhauer said “the building was undergoing a required 40-year recertification to ensure its structural integrity, and that the building’s roof was being redone. She added that residents told her a building inspector had visited Champlain Towers on Wednesday, but she did not know what the inspector found. It is unknown if any construction activity contributed to the disaster.” (Miami Herald Article Link)

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis arrived on scene this afternoon and gave a press conference:

This is a horrific collapse. The scale of this is almost unfathomable.

California Bans Porsche Sales – to Save the Planet of course


Armstrong Economics Blog/Regulation Re-Posted Jun 24, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

I have always been a sports car nut. I use to say the day I get an automatic, it’s time to die. Well, thank God I do not live in California. They have just outlawed manual transmissions. You cannot order a Porshe with a manual transmission in California. So exactly where does this lead? Will you eventually have your car confiscated if it’s manual in California? What if I buy one in Vegas and drive it to California? Would I get a ticket and have my car confiscated?

This is how society crumbles. Decisions are made by bureaucrats who are never put to a vote in any democratic manner. This is how tyranny flourishes. California has just entered the twilight zone.

In trying to taker my dog to a Vet, I have encounter unbelievable arrogance and stupidity. Now, still, 9 out of 10 will not allow you to bring your pet inside. You have to call them from a numbered parking spot and then they come out and take your pet. You have to wait in the car. I lost my cool by the 3rd one. They said they are trying to keep themselves safe. I simply lost it. I can go into a doctor’s office anywhere. I may have to put on a mask, but at least I can walk in a see a doctor. For these vets to still cling to the old decrees of Fauci is unbelievable. I simply refused to do business with them and I hope everyone else does the same. It is this stupidity that has ruined the country and as medical professionals, there is NO EXCUSE. Even when I went to the dentist they were joking that the common cold is a coronavirus and they cannot cure that either. The survival rate is also over 99%. They are a disgrace to their profession.

Corruption Behind COVID

Spread the love

COMMENT: Hello Martin
When are these bastards going to get their day? I have friends neighbours that have taken the vaccine and all of a sudden they are feeling bad. high blood pressure, low haemoglobin levels, dizziness, headaches extreme menstrual bleeding. They still do not mention that it may be the vaccine. In fact I do not even think they have put the pieces together that it may be the vaccine that has caused it. I am thankful everyday that my family brothers sisters mother nieces nephews could smell this bullshit from the beginning. When will these parasites be dragged out for what they have done? As you have said you have a lot of contacts political financial etc. Indeed resistance is not futile. Surely these people must know whats going on? It only takes one person to set the ball rolling.
I am thankful for your unbiased reporting everyday. You could have just walked away and enjoyed your life but you did not.
My sincere gratitude and all the best from Scotland

REPLY: I think that they rigged the election to get the PERFECT team — Biden & Harris. The two of them would have to form a committee to figure out how to change a lightbulb and worry it was brighter than both of them put together. I am not saying that from a partisan perspective. The real powers behind the curtain who write these executive orders are counting on the fact that Biden does not put two and two together. Yet in Russia, even they have succumbed to this madness. They are now saying you must have proof of a vaccine to enter a bar or nightclub.

I fear a lot of the politicians really have no idea what they have done. All they are doing is following the money and lining their pockets. My greatest fear is they know very well how to manipulate politicians. They will NEVER admit to a mistake. I have told the story of how I advised Lady Thatcher. When she was run out of office and John Major took over, the agenda was to terminate the pound and join the euro. They entered the ERM and overvalued the pound, which made Soros famous and rich by shorting that. They called me to asked what the computer said if they could hold the pound against Soros & the Club’s attack. I told them Major had to devalue. They immediately replied that he could not, for that was a campaign promise he made. I then told them to allow the pound to float to seek its own level, and they said it was brilliant. It was the very same thing except the free market would do it, not John Major. That is what I mean about never admitting to a mistake. I have been called in so many times because I understand the game.

mRNA vaccine review final

There have been no specific guidelines for even how to use messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines or contraindications to mRNA vaccines. There have also been NO large trials of any mRNA vaccine completed yet. Why would government subject its entire population to a vaccine for a virus that has less than a 1% death rate? This makes no sense. Some claim those vaccinated will be dead within two years and they will then be able to indoctrinate the children to be green economic slaves who have no memory of freedom. Interesting theory, but that is something more in line with the character of Bill Gates or Schwab. It is hard to believe politicians would knowingly sign up for that agenda.

My fear is that the politicians were bought and paid for with an endless supply of money, and we can assume who has been funding things behind the curtain. Slowly as we turn, little by little emerges. It turns out Google was funding the very research on viruses in Wuhan through its charity. I don’t know that they even knew what they were funding. There are even motions flying around in Washington to fire Fauci. Others have been calling for his resignation, and the fact that he does not shows he is connected. Of course, the Democrats will refuse because they would have to admit they trusted the wrong guy. Even in Germany, the former health minister is calling for an investigation of Merkel. Meanwhile, there are rumors that Merkel is seriously sick after taking a vaccine herself.

These vaccines are emerging as a real danger. From Israel, they are being linked to blood diseases. Then there are people claiming these vaccines are causing infertility. In Australia, their top health official is urging people to take the second shot for the risks of blood clots and infertility is low. Then there are stories that 19 days prior to the official announcement Covid-19 was a “pandemic,” drug giant Moderna sent COVID “vaccine” samples to the University of North Carolina. Other reports claim the virus has never been isolated. Then there are questions arising asking what does Bill Gates, GAVI, Genfleisch, ID2020, and the tobacco industry all have in common with corona vaccinations?

If that is not bad enough, children being made to wear masks may be getting sick just from the masks. The University of Florida Lab discovered very dangerous pathogens were developing on children’s face masks. Then there is a very mysterious bird flu in the United States with birds dying in record numbers.

Since these forecasts are NOT my personal opinion and they come from Socrates, this is not a future I wish to see. All I can do is stand up for my family and not yield to this nonsense that they refuse to address seriously. All dissent is blocked, censored, canceled, and labeled a “conspiracy theory,” which means they are hiding something and refuse to answer the question.

John McAfee is Dead – Targeted for Selective Presecution


Armstrong Economics Blog/Opinion Re-Posted Jun 24, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

John David McAfee (1945 – June 23, 2021) is dead. He allegedly committed suicide in a Spanish jail cell where he was awaiting extradition to the United States. Tennesee charged him with 10 counts of tax evasion and in New York City, he was charged with securities fraud for advocating cryptocurrency in which he had a position and then sold into the rally. That they can call a pump and dump. I knew John. We both were speakers at the American Hackers Convention. Many called him eccentric. I always found him to be courteous and he had offered his support in my ordeal never having any fondness for the government.

John made this video in July 2020. I believe anyone involved in cryptocurrency who owned it and then touted it and sold it into a rally could be criminally charged under this theory. This is why to be an adviser at my level, I cannot have any conflict of interest. Those in the private sector are held to a different standard. What John is saying here is true, for which they most likely retaliated with criminal charges because anyone advocating cryptocurrency who then sold and made a profit could equally be charged.  Regulations passed by agencies without Congressional power is the Deep State. They pass regulation and it becomes criminal law. This circumvents everything the constitution stood for. They are NOT created by the people.

In United States v. Shreveport Grain & Elevator Co., 287 U.S. 77, 85 (1932) the Supreme Court held that “the legislative power of Congress cannot be delegated,” (see also and Field v. Clark, 143 U.S. 649, 692 (1892)). However, on other occasions, the Supreme Court has recognized that, although Congress may not delegate powers that “are strictly and exclusively legislative,” it may delegate “powers which [it] may rightfully exercise itself.” Wayman v. Southard, 23 U.S. (10 Wheat.) 1, 41 (1825).

This is the problem and how the Deep State is created. Congress has delegated power. The Supreme Court has allowed agencies to fill in the details of statutes which has become standard practice. For example, the Supreme Court upheld a statute requiring the manufacturers of oleomargarine to have their packages “marked, stamped and branded as the Commissioner of Internal Revenue . . . shall prescribe,” rejecting the argument that the prosecution was NOT for violation of law but for violation of a regulation –  In re Kollock, 165 U.S. 526 (1897)

It has been in this manner that the Deep State has emerged. They simply create regulation that has the same force of law and can then deep you are to be in prison for life or even impose a death penalty. I fear that this was a selective prosecution but that is no longer a defense since the Supreme Court ruling in 1996. As long as the government has prosecuted anyone else on this theory, you will NEVER prevail in court.

The Deep State won. If John committed suicide at nearly 76, I fully understand. They were seeking to imprison him until he died. Once the Feds charge you, there is less than a 1% chance of ever winning in court. It takes a lot to endure their never-ending tortures. Even the Declaration of Independence complained of “mock trials” and I hope the prosecutor remembers John’s face when he is about to die himself. Shakespeare’s famous line “the first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers” referred to prosecutors for the private individual were never allowed to have lawyers.

There is a special place in hell for prosecutors for they will be judged by the same standards they have judged others. They better pray there is no God. No doubt with John’s computer skills, they may have wanted something sinister behind the curtain as well. It is never what prosecutors claim it to be. Goodbye, my friend.

Parallels in Bankers 1930s – 2020s


Armstrong Economics Blog/ECM Re-Posted Jun 24, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Marty,

You have written much about the period 1927-1929 dominated by the relationship between Monatgue Norman and Benjamin Strong; how pressure from Britain to keep rates in the US lower was intended to relieve pressure from Europeans fleeing for the US, attracted by our faster growth.

It seems eerily similar today, the conditions now with the US, first to restart after the lockdown, and Europe, which can’t get out of its own way. Stuck.

You remarked on the blog money is positioning now ready to make a move….as you have stated, higher rates are bullish…confirming strength in the economy, demand increasing, all bullish for stocks. What is missing is the Fed raising rates, or rather this time, the Fed having to follow, or worse, lose control of rates, which seems implied today…

Marty, if this is a replay, are we in 1927, 28…I assume 1929 is a long way off….

MS

REPLY: It seems to be close to the same timing of about two years, which would bring us to 2023. We can easily see that rates moved up from 3.5% to 6% at the Fed in hopes of stopping inflation. They have NEVER understood the markets or economy because they have relied on academics who only read books and have never traded.

My biggest problem here is that everything is upside down. To get such a crash in the stock market this time requires capital controls or a complete collapse in government and the financial system. During the Great Depression, sovereign defaults began in Europe. This pushed the dollar higher but not the US share market.  Note that the dollar rose in value during World War I, the 1931 Sovereign Debt Crisis, and again for World War II. During those waves of capital flows, the bulk of that capital always moved into government bonds.

We are facing a collapse in public confidence in government. How will capital move this time around when capital is moving away from governments? Will we see it move into the private sector exclusively, or will there be a capital flight to China as it becomes the USA of the 1930s?
