There’s a Shift Afoot


Posted originally on the CTH on September 19, 2023 | Sundance 

I should have presented this a week ago, but now it seems more important.

Joe Biden will almost certainly not be the DNC nominee in ’24 coming out of the convention.  Most likely, in the next 90 days, something is going to surface that will indicate exactly why and how this move is going to take place.

Biden was installed by the Obama network for a single four-year term with multiple intentions – the rapid escalation of far-left progressive objectives and policies, in combination with a need to control the outcomes of DC systems to protect the Obama network from scrutiny.  This is the reason why the Lightbringer maintained an operational residence in DC that was more akin to a policy and control command center.

The entire Biden administration is seeded with like-minded travelers from the tribe of Teh One.  However, in/around the time Susan Rice was withdrawn from the Biden team in the White House, a shift was visible.  Team Obama began a slow withdrawal of influence, and the shallower, less strategic, team of Biden became more autonomous. The shift was subtle, but people -even media- began to notice increased blunders and Biden contradictions.

If my suspicions are correct, we are likely to see a gradual Obama team exit from DC, culminating in a sale of his Kalorama neighborhood “residence.”   Team Obama are very skilled at timing exits to avoid being impacted by collateral damage inside crises they create.  Unlike what some might claim, there is not going to be an Obama approved ’24 candidate, and Big Mike is not part of the equation.

Inside the modern Democrat wing of the UniParty there have always been two factions of power. The Obama (progressive, activist) faction, and the Clinton (power, greed) traditional faction.  The two teams hate each other, each seeing only a limited pie for sharing, but they align under common interests.

You might remember how it was Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, who dragged Barack Obama into the Libya/Egypt mess.  Aloof and above the fray, Obama didn’t want to participate in what was going to be a predictable failure. Within that dynamic, Obama was focused on the radical transformation of domestic politics. Other than feeding the Lightbringer’s ego, foreign policy wasn’t really the Obama team’s focus.

After Clinton left the Obama administration, she and Obama agreed to insert John Podesta for the purpose of safeguarding her interests and relaying information back to team Clinton.  Again, neither Clinton nor Obama trusted each other.

Fast forward to this current time of slow and quiet Obama withdrawal, while Biden remains tenuously in office.  Team Obama have carried out almost three years of extreme transformation within the US body politic. Whether this transformation is reversible is an argument for another day, but now the consequence phase begins.  This establishes the predicate for the Obama influence removal – the ‘exit’ per se’.

Anthony Blinken (current Secretary of State) and Jake Sullivan (current National Security Advisor) are/were part of Team Clinton – the more power/greed centric Democrat apparatus that sells govt influence to corporations as a business model.  You will note this overall Clinton outlook aligns with the Biden family enterprise.

Put it together, stand back and look from the 30,000 ft level, and what you will notice is a lean backward by Team Obama (mission accomplished), and a lean forward by Team Clinton, opportunities exist now.

(Via AP) – […] The need to “Keep Going” is the theme of this year’s Clinton Global Initiative, or CGI, as Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Clinton Foundation Vice Chair Chelsea Clinton say they will convene political, business and philanthropic leaders to build on the momentum of the conference’s return last year after a six-year hiatus.

CGI plans to announce the launch of the CGI Ukraine Action Network, as well as numerous financial pledges, to support nonprofits working in the country.

The CGI Ukraine Action Network is the result of a collaboration between Hillary Clinton and Olena Zelenska, first lady of Ukraine, that began last year. The new organization, which will be formally announced Tuesday, is designed to mobilize existing CGI partners, as well as new leaders from around the world, to create and finance new commitments for Ukrainians, according to CGI. Numerous monetary commitments for Ukraine are also set to be announced Tuesday,

In 2022, CGI announced more than 140 commitments, including a $1 billion plan from Water.org, co-founded by actor Matt Damon, to help 100 million people in Africa, Asia and Latin America get lasting access to water and sanitation. This year, leaders including World Bank President Ajay Banga, Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, World Central Kitchen founder Jose Andres and Ford Foundation CEO Darren Walker, will attend and make their own commitments, which are required for attendance at the conference.

However, for nonprofits working in Ukraine, the spotlight CGI is offering them, 18 months after Russia’s invasion of the country, may be just as important as the monetary commitments.

The nonprofit Save Ukraine, which has opened community centers across the country to help families and especially children traumatized by the war and works to rescue Ukrainian children who have been detained in Russia, is set to receive commitments of support during CGI that it plans to use to open more centers, said Olga Yerokhina, spokeswoman for the charity.

Yes, the multinationals are always the controlling factor.  After all, they control the politicians.   However, the politicians control the distribution of the treasury assets, and the Clinton family legacy of affluence is driven by controlling the destination of those govt funds.

The fundamental change Obama initiated is deeply ingrained in the domestic intelligence systems now.  DHS, CISA, and on down the line to FBI and Main Justice, are fully weaponized for political targeting.  Into this status, enhanced Artificial Intelligence is about to be launched; the system is indeed overloaded, and social crisis will ultimately be the outcome as the threads that bind the republic are torn.   Obama doesn’t need to stand close and watch; their mission is essentially complete.

Worrisome statutes of limitation have been purposefully run out.  Energy policy is structurally changed. Pipelines destroyed, leases cancelled, green new deal embedded in the policy which will manifest the outcome of solar and windmill nonsense.  The borders are wide open, and tens-of-millions of illegal aliens have flooded in.   Lisa Monaco has the DOJ’s Trump targeting operation well under control with a compliant media to assist.  The treasury is broke, and the military is woke.

Three years of extreme leftist agenda, and now the eyes turn to 2024.

Obama doesn’t want anything to do with that, but Clinton sees a financial opportunity.

Joe Biden will not be the DNC ’24 nominee….. and there’s no way in hell he will be the 2025 POTUS with Obama in retreat.

Keep watching….

Meloni Responds to Migrant Crisis


Armstrong Economics Blog/International News Re-Posted Sep 19, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Italian PM Giorgia Meloni announced that Italy will begin cracking down on illegal immigration in the wake of the Lampedusa invasion. The small fishing island of Lampedusa in Sicily has seen its population double this month after countless African migrants arrived on shore. Meloni promised a tough stance on migration during her campaign yet illegal immigration to Italy has doubled in the past year. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen went to Sicily with Meloni to discuss the situation.

To curtail the flow of refugees, the Italian government will not detain illegal migrants for up to 18 months. “We will decide who comes to the European Union, and under what circumstances. Not the smugglers,” Von der Leyen said. The EU under former German Chancellor Angela Merkel opened up the floodgates of refugees many years ago when claiming Europe was a safe haven for asylum seekers. People from throughout the second and third world have since found their way to Europe. Other EU nations are looking at the situation in Italy and realizing their borders will be next.

French interior minister Gerald Darmanin said that it is France’s responsibility to “help our Italian friends.” It is also their responsibility to let those wishing to illegally enter Europe that they are not welcome. ‘’Our will is to fully welcome those who should be welcomed, but we should absolutely send back those who have no reason to be in Europe,” he said, noting that there was no particular reason for these people to claim political asylum.

I mentioned that these migrants are primarily military-aged men traveling alone. They are using an old military strategy where they dock their boats in rapid succession to overwhelm the Italian coastguard. There is more to this situation and a reason that the first world is being bombarded with migrants. The Italian Navy may be deployed to guard the waters with North Africa if the crisis worsens. “It does not make sense to trust traffickers, because they will take a lot of money, put you on a boat that is unfit for the journey and once you get here you will be detained and sent back,” Meloni pleaded.

Sicily Overrun with Illegal Migrants


Armstrong Economics Blog/International News Re-Posted Sep 15, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Sicilians have been pressuring the Italian government for years to send assistance to deal with the migrant crisis. People hoped that PM Giorgia Meloni would be tough on migrants, but there has been a sharp uptick in unaccompanied adult male migrants from Africa arriving in Sicily via boat. As of this week, the small town of Lampedusa is outnumbered by the migrants there.

Lampedusa hosts about 6,000 residents. Yet, in one day alone, 8,000 illegal migrants pushed their way onto the beach town. The local shelters cannot house this many people. The men have devised a strategy where they send numerous boats to land at such a rapid pace that the authorities cannot possibly stop them all. Lampedusa is one of many examples in Sicily and Italy as a whole.

Lampedusa’s mayor, Filippo Mannino, has criticized the EU for ignoring the migrant crisis. In the US, no one outside of a border state cared about the migrant crisis until busloads of migrants appeared in their cities. This one small fishing village has been ruined.

“I have been dealing with problems related to migrants since the 1990s, I have seen everything and more, but I could not imagine such a thing. The city is in an emergency,” Trieste Mayor Roberto Dipiazza told Reuters. And while the nation has been battling illegal invaders for decades, the number of people forcing their way into the country is unbelievable. Over 113,500 migrants entered Italy through the Mediterranean this year, compared with only 55,800 during the same period in 2022.

Meloni’s government raised the entry quota this year due to the birth rate shortage. People said she was far-right and extreme, but truth be told, she is another EU leader who falls into line. She became more lenient as soon as she was sworn into office. Her government is permitting 452,000 non-EU workers to enter Italy this year compared to the 83,000 permitted to enter in 2022.

Watch the videos flooding the internet and you will notice that there are barely any women or children. Why are military-aged men flooding all Western countries? Boats rushing to shore in quick succession is an old military strategy. Something is very, very wrong.

G20 & the One World Government Dream


Armstrong Economics Blog/Rule of Law Re-Posted Sep 14, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The movement toward a One World Totalitarian State is proceeding. India is the Chair of the G20. This is the proud symbol of the G20 in Lucknow, (Uttar Pradesh) India. The leaders of the G20 over the weekend reached an agreement to impose by sheer force digital currencies and digital IDs on their respective populations. This will allow them to monitor their people’s spending and crush dissent. However, the digital IDs will become a shared network to deny travel to individuals they deem non-compliant to their tyranny. This is the problem when you have career politicians, for they are not on our side but sit above us and look down with disdain.

The G20, under India’s presidency, adopted a final declaration on the subject over the weekend in New Delhi. The digital currency objective is to eliminate the underground economy; canceling paper money will make paying cash under the table impossible. They claim this will eliminate all crime, such as bank robberies and even prostitution.  They also argue it will eliminate bank runs. The estimations of the UNTAXED economy vary between 20% to 40%. While they cleverly state that there are no discussions on eliminating cryptocurrency, they will seize all cryptos, which would still allow an underground economy – the gray market.

Christine Lagarde has admitted that there will be controls on digital currency. The G20 announced they had agreed to build the necessary infrastructure to implement digital currencies and IDs. As I have warned, this is all part of 2032. This will fail, and in the end, this will lead only to revolution. There is ZERO economic benefit to digital currency. They do this purely to control the economy and eliminate the grey market.

We must understand that this is why the Democrats oppose Robert F. Kennedy as they do Trump. The Republicans hate Trump. These people only want “career” politicians. We, too, are their hated enemy. Anyone who thinks they care about us is just a delusional fool. We are the ants in the ant farm, and they want to observe everything we do, just like the Communist leaders did 34 years ago.

Jan 6 Political Prisoners


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Sep 14, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

“THEY’RE NOT AFTER ME, THEY’RE AFTER YOU…I’M JUST STANDING IN THE WAY!” Donald Trump repeatedly stated. US intelligence agencies have managed to sniff out every single person who was involved in the January 6 protest. They tracked down over 1,100 people, labeled them terrorists, and imposed harsh sentences to show the public the consequences of questioning authority. Intelligence agencies could not produce one single name off of Jeffrey Epstein’s international client list, nor could they find the person who brought drugs into the White House. Simply put, intelligence agencies are simply tools of the Deep State to demolish the opposition.

The US legal system has issued the harshest penalties to those who entered the Capitol building. They did not commit a violent crime and no one was hurt. It is hard to say that they were even trespassing since there is footage of agents opening the doors and allowing the protestors inside. There is a reason the likes of Pelosi failed to call the Nation Guard and allowed the protestors to roam the building – it was an inside job.

Former Proud Boys leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio received the harshest sentence – 22 years in prison. Judge Timothy Kelly said that Tarrio attempted to block Joe Biden from receiving presidential powers, citing, “It can’t happen again.” Tarrio resides in Miami and was not present on January 6. “I am not a political zealot,” Tarrio said. “Inflicting harm or changing the results of the election was not my goal. Please show me mercy,” he said, adding, “I ask you that you not take my 40s from me.”

Rapists receive more lenient sentences. A military veteran by the name of Ethan Nordean received an 18 year sentence, which is less than the 27 year sentence the prosecutors wanted. In fact, most of the Proud Boys who were arrested have served in the US military. The entire ordeal has turned ordinary citizens into criminals.

These people are political prisoners. They were permitted to enter the building. There were FBI agents among the protestors. Ray Epps was filmed on video enticing the crowd to break into the Capitol the following day. His behavior was so questionable that the crowd began chanting, “Fed! Fed!” It was clear to them that he was not there to protest peacefully. On the day of the Capitol “siege,” Epps is filmed talking to another man before they began removing the barricades. The men began encouraging others to join them.

So now, the public is aware that the government will lock up anyone who tries to deny the results of the next election. Everyone is focusing on Trump’s charges, but they are also taking down anyone who does not believe Joe Biden secured over 80 million votes. Those who genuinely feel they lost their right to vote will be less likely to speak up the next time around. This message is particularly prominent this week as I repeatedly hear correspondents compare J6 to 9/11, an unbelievably insulting way to frame these events and a nod to how demonized the right has become.

New Mexico AG Tells Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham He Will Not Defend Her Unconstitutional Gun Ban in Court


Posted originally on the CTH on September 12, 2023 | Sundance 

The Attorney General for New Mexico has informed Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham his office will not be appearing in court to defend her against the unconstitutional gun ban she has decreed by fiat in Alburquerque.

New Mexico – Democratic New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez announced he will not defend the state in pending lawsuits against the governor’s public health emergency order suspending open and concealed carry of firearms in Albuquerque and surrounding counties.

In a letter to Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-NM) regarding four impending lawsuit cases, Torrez shared the same sentiments from Democratic and Republican lawmakers and law enforcement, saying the ban violates the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens.

“Though I recognize my statutory obligation as New Mexico’s chief legal officer to defend state officials when they are sued in their official capacity, my duty to uphold and defend the constitutional rights of every citizen takes precedence,” Torrez wrote. “Simply put, I do not believe that the Emergency Order will have any meaningful impact on public safety but, more importantly, I do not believe it passes constitutional muster.” (more)

Using a “public health emergency” as a method to ban firearms is purely an ideological effort from the school of Soros.

Austria Offers Free Transportation for Tattoos


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate Re-Posted Sep 12, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Notice how all of the voluntary actions connected to the Great Reset include preying upon the young or desperate. These will be the first people to move into 15-minute cities and abide by tyrannical laws in exchange for government aid. They handed out free crypto in Africa in exchange for biometric data, for example. In Austria, the government is offering free transportation to anyone who chooses to tattoo their Climate Ticket (Klimaticket) on their skin as a walking sponsorship for the New World Order.

It sounds like a bad radio marketing gimmick. The Klimaticket grants users access to all public and private transportation for one year at the cost of €1,095. However, those who permanently mark their body with an ode to the Klimaticket will receive free transportation, but only for one year. You’d have to be extremely desperate or stupid to agree to those terms. Austrian Climate Minister Leonore Gewessler said the initiative will help the country grow closer to their goals of the Paris Agreement. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) would like to reduce private car ownership by 16% before 2024, claiming transportation is the largest carbon pollutant.

“Action that gets under your skin,” banners appeared at popup parlors during various summer events. Gewessler had a temporary tattoo inked on her body reading “Gewessler takes the lead.” A look at the comment section shows how negatively this program was received. “For me it really doesn’t make sense at all how you can encourage young people to have political advertisements for the rest of their lives and that has NO consequences for the Federal Minister,” one user on X wrote. “This has been carried out with great care. It is only done during daylight and only offered to people over the age of 18,” Gewessler said, adding that “the people who get the tattoos mostly already have some.”

So, it is ok to permanently brand your body with a message from the government by her standards. NEOS party lawmaker Henrike Brandstötter also bashed the plan. “Offering people money for putting advertising under their skin reveals an unacceptable view of humanity from a government minister,” she declared on X. Again, governments are targeting desperate people who will jump at the opportunity to save $1,180 USD for one year or about three euros per day. They’ve accepted the mark without hesitation.
