plagiarizism

COMMENT: You say you do not advise Trump. But whatever you seem to project, he does. Others seem to be copying your forecasts, even debt ad ___ suddenly says the default comes when you can’t sell the debt. Interestingly, they do not have the historical examples or the database that you do. So, how does this work? Are you the source for everyone?

PD

REPLY: I do not advise Trump. Yes, many near him take our reports. I know many take our research and pretend it is their own. Impressive, they do not have the staff to back up even collecting such a database. That is life. Even President Biden was said to have plagiarized people to climb the ladder of success. Just ask them for the historical facts to back up what they pretend is theirs.  People can search for things fast these days to see the author of anything.

Rome DECLSILV 250 269AD Gallienus

Only with a database was it possible to see capital flows. Even the CIA admitted to me that I invited that. Sovereign Debt defaults, who, when, how, and why, all came from analysis of ancient to medieval economies. It cost me tens of millions of dollars to assemble the coinage to see what was NOT recorded by historians definitively.

Over the years, I have bought hoards of ancient coins just to see snapshots of what was in circulation and when. I have even helped to rewrite history with coinage that is not opinion. Even the extent of Mark Antony’s coinage funded by Cleopatra was still the most common coinage discovered in a hoard buried 100 years later in Pampei. It is a joke that someone can stand up pretending something is their research without the database or even the staff.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg Orders Trump Administration to Halt Deportation of Illegal Aliens and Narcotrafficking Gang Members

It will not come as a surprise to CTH readers to hear the name Judge James Boasberg associated with efforts to protect the institutional interests of a corrupt DC deep state.  Boasberg has a long, very long, and well documented history of protecting the DC apparatus {CTH Archives on Boasberg HERE}.

On Saturday, without giving the Trump administration any time to respond, Judge Boasberg issued an immediate temporary restraining order (TRO) blocking DHS, Customs and Border Patrol and ICE from deporting illegal aliens and narcotrafficking gang members belonging to Tren de Aragua (TdA), a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization.

Boasberg ordered the flights of criminal gang members to turn around and immediately bring the criminals back to the USA to enjoy a life of criminal conduct and terrorism in the USA.  National security is secondary to the rights of criminal aliens to sell drugs, continue child/sexploitation, murder American citizens and rape their targets.

As I wrote in 2021, Judge James Boasberg has long been severely compromised; there simply is no other way to look at his interception of cases to protect the system, and the depth of his corruption is clearly visible in this set of rulings.

WASHINGTON DC – A federal judge has ordered an immediate hold on efforts by President Donald Trump to quickly deport Venezuelan nationals under rarely used wartime powers intended to resist a foreign invasion — and demanded the return of planes already headed to Central America.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg on Saturday ordered the Trump administration to immediately halt efforts to remove those Venezuelan migrants until he has more time to consider whether Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act was illegal.

[…] “Any plane containing these folks that is going to take off or is in the air needs to be returned to the United States however that is accomplished,” Boasberg announced. “Make sure it’s complied with immediately.”

Two aircraft believed to be carrying Venezuelan deportees took off from an airport in Harlingen, Texas, during a break in a video hearing Boasberg conducted Saturday for the lawsuit filed by immigrant-rights advocates. According to flight tracking databases, one plane was bound for San Salvador, El Salvador, and the other for Comayagua, Honduras, and they were in the air nearing their destinations as Boasberg issued his order.

Judge James Boasberg, an ally of SSCI Chairman Mark Warner, has intercepted several cases that brought sunlight upon the corrupt DC system.  In each case Boasberg ruled in favor of maintaining the corruption, including his willfully blind support of the FBI searching NSA databases to conduct illegal surveillance of Americans.

This is the same Judge Boasberg who sat as presiding judge on the FISA court.  The same Judge Boasberg who gave FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith a slap on the wrist for manufacturing evidence used in the Carter Page FISA application that defrauded the court.  The same Judge Boasberg who appointed former DOJ-NSD head Mary McCord as amicus curiae advisor to the court, after she knowingly and fraudulently submitted the FISA application to the court.

This is the same Judge Boasberg gave J6 FBI agent provocateur Ray Epps a sentence of probation. This is the same judge who, on his vacation, went to sit in the DC courtroom to observe defendant President Trump who was forced to appear in DC court.  This is the same Boasberg who established a horrible precedent in forcing Vice-President Mike Pence to testify before a DC grand jury about his conversations with President Trump (breaking executive privilege).

Boasberg sits at the epicenter of a thoroughly corrupt and compromised DC court system.

The ‘ah-ha’ moment to understand just how bad James Boasberg was/is, came during his decision to appoint the wife of Chief Justice John Robert’s senior staff Sheldon Snook, Mrs. Mary McCord as amicus to the FISA Court. {GO DEEP}

It will be interesting to watch how this case, appeal and challenge ends up.

EXECUTIVE ORDER – Tren de Aragua (TdA) is a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization with thousands of members, many of whom have unlawfully infiltrated the United States and are conducting irregular warfare and undertaking hostile actions against the United States. TdA operates in conjunction with Cártel de los Soles, the Nicolas Maduro regime-sponsored, narco-terrorism enterprise based in Venezuela, and commits brutal crimes, including murders, kidnappings, extortions, and human, drug, and weapons trafficking. TdA has engaged in and continues to engage in mass illegal migration to the United States to further its objectives of harming United States citizens, undermining public safety, and supporting the Maduro regime’s goal of destabilizing democratic nations in the Americas, including the United States.

Senators Grassley and Johnson Provide Documents Outlining FBI Operation Arctic Frost, the 2022 Targeting of President Trump by the FBI

CTH has long documented the history of FBI as a political weapon for the interests of Washington DC.  From a research perspective there is no longer any question about the intents and motives of the FBI as a fully weaponized agency, working against the interests of the American people.

That said, Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson have recently released stunning information highlighting how the FBI conducted an operation in 2022 entirely to ensnare President Donald Trump within their corrupt and political investigative clutches.  [Press Announcement Here]

Grassley and Johnson have sent the documentary evidence to current Attorney General Pam Bondi along with a letter that outlines a political targeting operation against Donald Trump known as “Arctic Frost.” [Letter pdf Here]

WASHINGTON – In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) made public legally protected whistleblower disclosures showing the FBI, as part of its Arctic Frost investigation, acquired the government cell phones of President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence, among other government officials. FBI agents used taxpayer dollars to crisscross the country and conduct dozens of interviews in support of the political probe.

The unclassified FBI records convey the alarming scope and speed of the FBI’s 2022 investigation of President Trump, which they dubbed “Operation Arctic Frost.” The investigation – launched by anti-Trump FBI agent Timothy Thibault in a breach of FBI protocol – formed the basis of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s elector case against Trump. Upon opening the investigation, Thibault vowed it would be “prioritized over all others in the Branch” and commented that “it frankly took too long for us to open this [investigation].”

“Sunshine is the best disinfectant,” the chairmen wrote to Bondi and Patel. “The American people deserve to know the complete extent of the corruption within the DOJ and FBI that led to the investigation into President Trump. We are making this information public for purposes of public accountability and to provide specific examples of past behavior at your institutions that must not be repeated. Quite simply, the public has a right to know what happened in Arctic Frost and, based on what we’ve exposed to date, the American public deserves better from its law enforcement agencies. It is important that every individual at your agencies maintains the highest level of professionalism, and does not allow political bias to motivate or guide their investigative work.”

Within weeks of opening Arctic Frost on April 13, 2022, FBI agents began taking aggressive action to build out their case. The following is a summary of some Arctic Frost investigatory updates, based on unclassified internal FBI records: (more)

DOGE Uncovers Another $3B Wasted on Climate Change


Posted originally on Mar 11, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

SolarPowerEnergy

Sunnova Energy, a solar panel company based in Texas, has filed for bankruptcy. It is not shocking for a solar panel company to go under as the demand is simply not there. Upfront costs could range into tens of thousands and it takes years to see actual savings. The Biden Administration spent more than any past administration on climate initiatives, so it is of no surprise that Biden’s Department of Energy awarded numerous loans to solar companies. Sunnova Energy in particular profited $3 billion from a partial loan in September 2023.

The company reportedly generated a mere $2 million in Q4 of 2024 when it had forecast a surplus of $104 million. Sunnova is $8.3 billion debt, with a 308.5% debt-to-equity ratio. Why would the government hand out $3 billion to a failing corporation?

The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund was slipped into the Inflation Reduction Act as yet another climate change measure. The Solar for All program chose 60 different solar companies and shelled out over $7 billion in an attempt to promote green energy. This absolutely does not benefit the American economy in any way but these initiatives have always been about centralizing control over energy consumption. Now DOGE is uncovering how many BILLIONS have been wasted on this net zero agenda. Was there any vetting process for which companies received payments?

Governments are imposing carbon taxes, banning gas stoves, and increasing restrictions on oil production. We are seeing taxes on transportation and other basic measures that affect daily life. These policies are not about helping consumers but about centralizing control over energy consumption. By forcing dependency on electricity—which can be easily rationed—governments are tightening their grip on every aspect of daily life.

The rest of the Western world is still moving forward with Agenda 2030. Germany is perhaps the greatest warning of how an economy can crumble when you cut off your own energy flow and impose incessant regulations while expecting to remain competitive. As for Biden’s energy spending spree, the American people deserve transparency. There are over 36 trillion reasons why that money should have been directed elsewhere.
