With Biden/Hur Tapes Released the Question is, Who Was Running the Country?


Posted originally on CTH on May 17, 2025 | Sundance

Axios obtained the audio of former President Biden’s October 2023 interviews with special counsel Robert Hur. In the first segment below, recorded on the first day of interviews, former President Biden was questioned about where he kept documents. Biden had difficulty recalling that it was 2015 when his son Beau died. Biden also shared that President Obama discouraged him from running for president.

The interview tapes reveal the scope of cognitive decline the control agents around Joe Biden were trying to keep hidden from the country. As the tapes reveal, Joe Biden was not in any capacity to be in office. The question remains, who was running the country? Listen:

Biden’s mental capacity was severely compromised.  It is obvious everyone around him knew the problem.  We all saw it even before he took office and the answer to the question is the same today as we discussed in 2020, 2021 and beyond.  These tapes only confirm what we already knew.

The State Dept was being run by Tony Blinken, Victoria Nuland and Samantha Power.  The Clinton and Obama networks, along with their allies in congress and in various political organizations, were being paid and financed through various NGOs and stood up non-profits organized by the beneficiaries of the funding.  All of those connections were revealed by the DOGE audits of USAID and other agencies.

Keep in mind that Susan Rice was part of the White House network up to the day Biden announced his intent to run again in 2024; so, she obviously knew his mental state.  Others in the White House, again part of the Obama and Clinton networks were running the day-to-day operations.  Biden was a figurehead, an avatar for the handlers operating in the background.

The DOJ, Main Justice and the FBI were being run by Lisa Monaco, again an Obama operative.  The job at Main Justice was to use their Lawfare strategy to protect the fake and corrupt administration, keep everyone in line and attack all of their political opposition.

Obviously, Jill Biden was/is a power-hungry enabler for the entire dynamic.  Sick and twisted people operate like this.  Think of all the COVID-19 nonsense this crew carried out in 2021 and 2022, including the vaccine mandate and all of the authoritarian rules that came with the “Biden” COVID response stuff.  These are sick people.

Congress, both parties, knew all of this.  In fact, the entire Washington DC system was well aware of the cognitive state of mind behind the false presidency.  Biden wasn’t in control of anything – that’s transparently obvious when you listen to the tapes.

The media covered for all of it.  They all knew, yet they attacked anyone who dared question the obvious. There is no one associated with the preceding four or five years around the 2020 campaign and administration that followed who did not know of the mental issues.  Additionally, they all knew who was running things and they lied to the American people because these are power-hungry psychopaths.

.

.

There are not enough words to listen to these tapes and express the level of disgust that comes to mind.

The damage done to our country is horrific.  However, at the end of that review we must remember all of the economic pain and suffering that accompanied the anxiety the handlers of Joe Biden willfully delivered to our nation.

These people are sick!

Biden Directed Funds to Afghanistan over 9/11 Victims


Posted May 16, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

Taliban

The Taliban has been promoting the Afghan currency by auctioning off dollars. How is a known terrorist group obtaining USD? The United Nations has sent billions to the Taliban in recent years to support its central bank, with much of those funds being approved and sent by the United States. Worse, the Biden Administration confiscated $3.5 billion in funding from a fund designated for 9/11 survivors to pay the Taliban.

The Taliban has also auctioned off the billions in weapons that the United States left behind after the former commander in chief ordered an immediate withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021. It is estimated that $7 billion in equipment was left behind, yet Biden blames Afghan authorities for allowing the Taliban to take over.

As for the funds stolen from the 9/11 fund, it originated when families who lost loved ones to the 9/11 attacks sued Al Qaeda, Iran, and the Taliban. No one expected any party to pay, but since Afghanistan had $7 billion in assets within the US, the court permitted it to be seized. This money was initially intended to support the families of 9/11 victims.

911

The government was quick to seize and redistribute Russian assets, but the last administration was hesitant to seize assets from known enemies. The US government began freezing Russian assets in February 2022, which is also when Biden decided to unfreeze $7 billion in assets from Afghanistan. Biden signed an executive order that determined the $7 billion would be placed in a trust fund—half would be sent to families of victims, while the other half would be used for humanitarian aid for Afghans.

A day later, the Biden Administration decided that the 9/11 families did not deserve the payout and sent it back into the court system. He did, however, ensure that the other $3.5 billion was sent to Afghanistan. Former Secretary of State Blinken, a notorious neocon, feigned concern for the families while saying that the victims “should have a full opportunity to set forth their arguments in court.” He later announced that seizing funds from the central bank would harm US interests in the Middle East.

Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn ruled against the 9/11 families. Netburn ruled that the Afghanistan bank (Da Afghanistan Bank, DAB) had “sovereign immunity” as the nation was not sanctioned; only the Taliban, who happened to be ruling the nation, were sanctioned. Biden declined to declare Afghanistan a state sponsor of terrorism, providing them with immunity.

“Absent action by us, these funds were likely to be tied up in courts for years, while the action we have taken stands the best chance of more quickly freeing up a large portion for humanitarian support,” a White House official said after “activists” complained that it was unjust to seize funds. Former Treasury Secretary Yellen approved of sending aid to Afghanistan through the United Nations.

The investigation into USAID found billions funneled to terrorist organizations like the Taliban through the UN and NGOs. Biden was the only president to decline an invitation to the annual 9/11 memorial. Biden’s incompetence left 10,000 Americans behind. Few know that he authorized frozen funds to be redistributed back to Afghanistan while it was under the control of a terrorist organization.

I met with the Afghan government on neutral ground in Thailand many years ago. I was invited to give lectures there, but just never found the time to make that trip. As I have said before, most governments have heard of Socrates. After all, it has been putting out economic and geopolitical forecasts since 1977. From my discussions with them in Thailand, what I can say is that the Taliban are largely self-funded, yet have been warmly protected by Pakistan, which is the ONLY nuclear nation in that region. Pakistan has supported the Taliban, not for religious agreement, but because of their enemy, the Afghans, who were friends with Pakistan’s enemy, India. In that sense, there is a deep-seated religious conflict that goes back to the creation of Pakistan in 1947. China supports Pakistan and has announced it will continue to support Pakistan during its battle with India.

The peak in our model on the region took place in 2019 when any hope of some sort of peace treaty with the Taliban collapsed. Military operations between Afghan and US government forces and the Taliban then intensified in 2019, resulting in more than 8,000 civilian casualties. That was precisely on target, being 72 years from 1947, which was the real period of the rise in militant Islam. A standard 2-year reaction was in play, which has brought us to this point in 2021. But this is the start of a 13-year cycle of rising tensions, which will also peak in 2032.

Ukraine Invests in Western Border – $1.5B Ski Resort


Posted originally on Mar 20, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

GoroMountainResortUkraine

“THE FIRST ALL-SEASON MOUNTAIN RESORT IN UKRAINE WITH AN INTERNATIONAL FORMAT, A HOLISTIC CONCEPT AND THE BROADEST PALETTE OF IMPRESSIONS, SERVICES AND ATTRACTIONS”

The war in Ukraine has left the nation utterly insolvent, almost entirely reliant on foreign aid. President Zelensky claims he cannot account for billions in aid, urging world leaders to send more rapidly as he must prevent Russia from invading all of Europe. Peace is not an option as “the worst conflict since World War II” rages on with no end in sight. In the meantime, Ukraine spent £1.2 billion ($1.5 billion) to improve its tourism sector by building a massive luxury ski resort.

The luxury resort will span 2,965 acres, feature 25 hotels with 5,5000 rooms, with 41 ski slopes spanning 46.6 miles. The GORO Mountain Resort project was supposed to begin in 2022, but was delayed due to the obvious. OKKO Group, Ukraine’s largest network of gas stations, suddenly changed plans and believes now is the time to begin building the project that will take an estimated 15 years to complete.

As a bonus, GORO Mountain Resort will be located in Lviv, adjacent to Ukraine’s border with Poland. Poland’s defense budget has multiplied as it rushes to fight off Russian aggression at its own border. Donald Tusk has demanded that every male in Poland undergo military training, and he plans to expand the nation’s 200,000 army to one boasting 500,000 troops, which would make it the third-largest military force in NATO behind the United States and Turkey. In November 2024, 55% of Poles said they supported ending the war even if Ukraine was forced to surrender territory. The people do not want war but those at the helm will send them off to die under the guise of protecting national sovereignty.

Meanwhile, Ukraine has threatened neighboring nations like Poland with untold repercussions if they fail to strangle their own agricultural sector by extending Ukraine’s duty-free trade deal. Ukraine has warned that Eastern European nations will suffer the worst of the consequences.

UkraineSkiResortGORO

Yet, the GORO Mountain Resort boasts easy access to those neighboring nations, with direct train travel from “Vienna, Budapest, Kyiv, Dnipro, Odesa, Kharkiv, and more, with the Slavsko station (5 km from the resort).”

Ukraine claims that Russian gas may not pass through its nation as it does not its foe to receive a single euro. Zelensky and others do not care that their allied neighbors like Hungary and Slovakia desperately need the gas line reimplemented in order to provide their nations with essential energy. Perhaps the Ukrainian government could suggest an alternative through a company such as OKKO Group.

It was a known fact that Ukraine was a corrupt nation before the war began and the government rebranded itself as a delicate victim that simply wants the best for its people—its people who have been sent off to die while those in charge refuse to negotiate with Russia. Zelensky has also said that the war will last for many years to come, yet his war-ravaged nation plans to build a billion-dollar resort near its border with Poland to attract tourism. Greed and corruption will be the end of Ukraine. In fact, based on our computer model, there will be no Ukraine in 15 years when this facility is set to open.

Millions of Americans Delinquent on Student Loans


Posted Mar 20, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

Hillary Students

Millions of Americans believed that their student loans would be forgiven per the promises made under Biden Administration. Then there was a period of student loan forgiveness that began during the COVID era when countless people found themselves unemployed. Payments have resumed but 9.2 million (43% of federal loan borrowers) have fallen over 90 days behind on payments.

Instead of forgiveness, these delinquencies will remain on these borrower’s credit reports for seven years. Delinquencies show on all three major credit bureaus (TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax) through nationwide credit reporting agencies (NCRAs). The result is an immediate drop in credit scores of up to 250 points.

So over 9 million Americans experienced a massive downturn in their ability to borrow instantaneously. Many may not realize that one missed student loan payment can be counted as up to eight missed payments. Credit scores are calculated and weighted differently depending on where you look. FICO factors in payment history as 35% of one’s overall credit score, while VantageScore factors in missed payments as 40% of creditworthiness.

Student loan payments have not appeared on credit reports for the past five years. Those who are able to meet their loan obligation will see a positive uptick in their score. VantageScore reported that they believe 2.3 million borrowers will see their credit rating fall beneath 600 once these payments reappear on consumer credit files. These people will have an extreme difficulty obtaining new loans.

Thanks to the Clinton Administration repealing Glass Steagall, student loans may not be discharged in the event of bankruptcy. Default and the entire balance is due immediately, with an addition of up to 25% of the loan balance in collection fees. The government may withhold Social Security benefits and tax refunds and will repeal any federal financial aid. Certain professional licenses could be suspended. Defaulting makes it hard for borrowers to access forbearance, deferment, and other repayment options. On top of everything, the government can begin to garnish wages WITHOUT a court order.

Biden Spent Over $1T on DEI to BUILD BACK BETTER


Posted originally on Mar 12, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

DEI diversity e1736338463254

Joe Biden signed Executive Order 13985, “Advancing Equity and Racial Justice Through the Federal Government.” This order “emphasized the enormous human costs of systemic racism” and “other disparities” and became “the first-ever national strategy on gender equity and equality.” Talent and quality were dismissed. Gender, race, and sexual orientation became primary indicators of a candidate’s ability rather than actual talent. How far did Biden and Harris take this order?

The Functional Government Initiative and the Center for Renewing America found 460 DEI programs across 24 US government agencies under the Biden administration. An astounding $1.1 TRILLION in public funds was diverted to these programs. The study said that the $1.1 trillion was the tip of the iceberg as it did not include every program or agency.

“Of the programs identified, 10 are exclusively dedicated to DEI and could be considered for quick elimination; 144 allocate significant resources to DEI initiatives and should be reviewed if those are to be ended; and 306 programs incorporate DEI to varying degrees, though the extent of their DEI focus is indeterminate based on the available documentation,” the study noted.

Researchers were surprised at the “speed” of spending that “shrouded public awareness of the financial burden.” DEI programs were nothing short of radicalized measures that repeatedly failed wherever implemented, and Biden’s people ensured it was implemented absolutely everywhere.

WokeIdentityPolitics

DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) is one of the primary tools used to accelerate the Great Reset transformation. Under the guise of social justice, DEI programs have been weaponized to dismantle free-market principles, undermine meritocracy, and create a system where political and ideological compliance dictates economic survival.

The Department of Education spent around $1 billion on DEI programs. The extent of these programs was a direct assault on America’s children who were forced to question their own sexuality before even reaching puberty. The government became more powerful than parents. Schools did not need to report to parents if a child was performing as a different gender. States like California usurped the power to remove children from their home if their parents did not allow them to transform their gender. Brutal mutilations were performed on CHILDREN. Students were indoctrinated to believe this false reality throughout their education.

These programs attempted to dismantle the nuclear family. Women were not permitted to exist, with even a Supreme Court justice (who was hired because Biden said he wanted to appoint a woman of color) refusing to define the term. “Mother” was deemed an offensive term that was replaced with “birthing person.” Hundreds of genders emerged as the left sought to remove our God given identities. But DEI woke initiatives spread across every facet of the Biden Administration.

DEI.WhiteHouse

The Assistant Secretary for Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) was an obese transgender man in a wig. The military underwent DEI training seminars and we flew the rainbow flag alongside the American flag. Every single federal agency was required to adopt DEI. Biden touted that he had the most diverse cabinet in American history, but it certainly was not the best.

CEI.WokeRating

Again, the globalist elite uses DEI and the woke agenda to mold the world as they see fit. The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) pushed the CEI (Corporate Equality Index), a company’s social woke credit score. The Open Society Foundation, operated by the Soros family, funds the HRC. The ESG promotes a company’s green social credit score, promoted by BlackRock and the World Economic Forum. ESG ratings have merely been a ploy to force companies to adhere to the Build Back Better agenda by adhering to climate goals. The CEI (Corporate Equality Index) was created by a massive international political lobbying group that pushes the woke agenda aggressively and is funded by Soros.

Why was this executive order signed on DAY ONE of Biden’s presidency? Tolerance and acceptance quickly turned into coercing people to accept an altered reality dictated by a woke government under the thumb of a globalist cabal. It was part of Biden’s mission to BUILD BACK BETTER by burning it all down first. The man spoke out against gay marriage as a senator—he never believed in any of the policies he forced the American public to implement and fund.

Were Biden’s Pardons Legal?

Joe Biden’s mental decline made him the perfect puppet president for the Democrats and neocons on both sides of the aisle. “Though presidents always have gatekeepers, in Biden’s case, the walls around him were higher and the controls greater, according to Democratic lawmakers, donors and aides who worked for Biden and other administrations. Staff limited Biden’s ability to speak with others and limited the sources of information he consumed,” Attorney General Andrew Bailey stated in a letter to the Department of Justice in which he is urging an immediate investigation into Joe’s cognitive decline and whether many of his policies, including pardons, are valid.

“I am demanding the DOJ investigated whether President Biden’s cognitive decline allowed unelected staff to push through radical policy without his knowing approval,” Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey wrote. “If true, these executive orders, pardons, and all other actions are unconstitutional and egally void.”

This becomes a grey area as the Founding Fathers likely believed the American public would not elect anyone resembling Joe Biden. Article II, Section 2 declares that the president has the legal right to “grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment”

The 25th Amendment states that impeachment or high crimes can be the only justification for dismissing presidential pardons. There is certainly an array of areas from the border to Burisma that were treasonous acts.

Section 3 of the Amendment has been invoked in recent history, but no one has dared to touch Section 4. President Regan invoked section 3 of the 25th Amendment in 1985 after signing power over to Vice President George Bush during a colon surgery. Then George W. Bush invoked the Amendment twice for short durations of time while he was receiving medical treatment.

Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President. [Emphasis added.]

Now, the Democrats chose to simply HIDE Joe Biden from the public rather than acknowledge his decline. Congress would need to establish an investigative committee and drain the swamp of every droplet as the corruption that went into Biden’s presidency spans throughout Washington.

“There are profound reasons to suspect that Biden’s staff and political allies exploited his mental decline to issue purported presidential orders without his knowing approval,” AG Bailey stated. Legislators would need to pinpoint exactly when Biden would have been considered too cognitively impaired to make decisions. They did not do this when a special council determined he was too old and mentally fragile to stand trial. It would be extremely difficult to pinpoint when Joe’s handlers completely overtook the reins of power.

Johnson Michael 56th Speaker

AG Bailey is correct—the establishment hid Biden’s health from the public and he may be unaware of some of the measures he passed. Speaker Mike Johnson recalled one such incident where, after working tirelessly to meet Biden in person, he confronted him over a piece of legislation regarding a freeze on new liquid natural gas export permits. “Why would you do that? Cause you understand we just talked about Ukraine, you understand you are fueling Vladimir Putin’s war machine, because they gotta get their gas from him,” Johnson said he told Biden. Johnson said Biden was shocked and “genuinely didn’t know what he had signed.”

In fact, Biden told Johnson he never signed off on the freeze. “Sir, you paused it, I know. I have the export terminals in my state. I talked to those people in my state, I’ve talked to those people this morning, this is doing massive damage to our economy, national security,” Johnson said he told the commander-in-chief. “I walked out of that meeting with fear and loathing because I thought, ‘We are in serious trouble—who is running the country?’” Johnson said.

Unbelievable that our elected officials allowed this to happen. There has never been such an investigation in US history, but if it is allowed to occur, you can kiss the Democratic Party goodbye.
