Senator Chuck Grassley Releases FBI FD-1023 Document Outlining Statement by Witness of Biden Bribery and Corruption

This afternoon U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley released the FBI witness statement known as the FD-1023 [Document pdf Here] that lies at the heart of the Biden bribery and corruption scandal.

BACKGROUND: Initially, the FBI refused to hand over the unclassified FD-1023 stating there is an ongoing investigation using the confidential human source who made allegations outlined in the document.  Remember, the allegations and the statement record were created in July of 2020, over three years ago.  The FBI refused to say the 6-page unclassified document existed.  After House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer told FBI Director Chris Wray, he had already seen the unclassified document via a whistleblower, then Wray admitted the FBI indeed had it.  On June 1st, the FBI refused to release the document, stating it was captive as part of an “ongoing investigation.”   Today, Chuck Grassley released it.

Grassley – “For the better part of a year, I’ve been pushing the Justice Department and FBI to provide details on its handling of very significant allegations from a trusted FBI informant implicating then-Vice President Biden in a criminal bribery scheme. While the FBI sought to obfuscate and redact, the American people can now read this document for themselves, without the filter of politicians or bureaucrats, thanks to brave and heroic whistleblowers. What did the Justice Department and FBI do with the detailed information in the document? And why have they tried to conceal it from Congress and the American people for so long? The Justice Department and FBI have failed to come clean, but Chairman Comer and I intend to find out,” Grassley said.

“The FBI’s Biden Bribery Record tracks closely with the evidence uncovered by the Oversight Committee’s Biden family influence peddling investigation. In the FBI’s record, the Burisma executive claims that he didn’t pay the ‘big guy’ directly but that he used several bank accounts to conceal the money. That sounds an awful lot like how the Bidens conduct business: using multiple bank accounts to hide the source and total amount of the money,” House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer said. 

“At our hearing with IRS whistleblowers, they testified that they had never seen or heard of this record during the Biden criminal investigation, despite having potentially corroborating evidence. Given the misconduct and politicization at the Department of Justice, the American people must be able to read this record for themselves. I thank Senator Grassley for providing much needed transparency to the American people. We must hold the Department of Justice accountable for seeking to bury this record to protect the Bidens.”

Grassley first disclosed the FBI’s possession of significant and voluminous evidence of potential criminality involving the Biden family last year. He has since worked to unearth the FBI record, eventually partnering with Comer on a subpoena to compel its public disclosure. After delays, the FBI provided a highly redacted version of the document to select members of the House of Representatives, but it remained shielded from the public and omitted key details, including references to recordings. Following the FBI’s failure to fully comply with the congressional subpoena, Grassley received the legally protected disclosure with limited redactions to protect a trusted FBI source, handling agents, department whistleblowers and identifiers related to other ongoing investigations. (more)

Harris – Reducing the Population is a Real Goal


Armstrong Economics Blog/Population Re-Posted Jul 20, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The White House claims that Vice President Kamala Harris made a gaff by saying that the goal was to “reduce population” when she should have said pollution. Of course, the immediate claim is that anyone disagreeing with that statement is engaging in a conspiracy theory. As they say, actions speak louder than words. She actually said the truth, and it is not a conspiracy theory. In Washington, they have been concerned with reducing population, which is the entire agenda behind climate change.

This entire LGBTQ is being pushed, but not for equality, for they won that in the Supreme Court. The military also had Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. This transgender push is to reduce the population. Only 1.6 million people in the entire United States identify as transgender. This is only 0.0048% of the population. Yet you would think it is really a sale effort to increase that to a majority to reduce the population. Speaking to people I know who are gay, they are suffering the blunt edge of this movement, for they are being thrown into the same category. They have chanted at Pride events, “Give us your children,” but if Jeffrey Epstein said they would petition for his execution.

This is NOT ending discrimination – it is creating it! Pushing it in schools and now separating boys’ and girls’ gyms in school is somehow identifying you as racist and far right. When military parades used to take place, it was just those of the various armed services. No longer. There has to be a “pride” flag. How about flags for every religion as well?

It was NOT a gaff. They tried to change it to pollution after the fact because of the backlash. This is by no means a conspiracy theory. This has been a movement funded by the rich people behind the climate change agenda. They both go hand-in-hand on the same path to hell. Don’t forget Gates’ fund to chip all women like a dog so he can use 5G to turn off the ability even to have children.

Don’t Forget That They Wanted You Arrested – No COVID Amnesty


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Jul 20, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Everyone dismisses the most significant power grab in modern history now. People laugh off the vaccine, knowing it did not prevent infection or transmission. They poke fun at the intense fear felt by the masses for years and chalk up COVID to a bad time. They forget that those of us who rejected the narrative were demonized. In fact, they wanted to take our children away and put us in jail.

A Rasmussen Report study from January 2022, not long ago, reported: “Nearly half (48%) of Democratic voters think federal and state governments should be able to fine or imprison individuals who publicly question the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications.” About 14% of Republicans agreed.

Fifty-nine percent of Democrats wanted to implement a policy “requiring citizens remain confined to their homes at all time, except for emergencies, if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine.” They wanted to completely banish the unvaccinated from society and place us under house arrest for failure to comply. Forty-seven percent of Democrats wanted the government to place digital tracking devices on the unvaccinated to ensure they were confined to a designated area away from society. Worse, 45% of Democrats favored “requiring citizens to temporarily live in designated facilities or locations if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine.” COVID concentration camps were on the table two years ago.

Taking it a step further, 29% of Democrats “would support temporarily removing parents’ custody of their children if parents refuse to take the COVID-19 vaccine.” Yes – they wanted to take our children away because we did not submit to an experimental vaccine.

So go on and make Fauci memes and jokes and pretend COVID was simply a bad few years. People wonder how the Germans allowed the Nazis to gain control while turning a blind eye. A significant portion of our population wanted all dissenters removed from society. Never forget – no COVID amnesty.

Have you ever noticed a decorative eagle plaque above a home in America? This was once a popular symbol back in the day to symbolize freedom from mortgage payments. Homeowners would adorn their houses with this symbol to indicate that they were free from the bank and owned their home free and clear. Around 40% of owner-occupied homes have been paid off, further adding to the housing inventory crisis.

The 2022 Federal Housing Finance Agency reported in 2022 that 84% of outstanding mortgages locked in a rate below 5%, while 63% secured a rate at or below 4%. Mortgage rates surpassed 8% last week and those who own are unlikely to sell. While some point to double-digit mortgage rates in the past, it was not difficult for buyers to put down 40% upfront since housing prices were low in comparison to wages. This was also a time when the cost of living supported a traditional lifestyle where only one partner was required to work.

Although COVID and low rates created strong demand, the underlying issue is the Great Reset. Institutions are set to own 40% of all single-family rentals by 2030, precisely on time for Agenda 2030. Regular buyers have been outbid by institutions coming in with cash payments. BlackRock is now the largest landowner in America. This is all by design. They do not want people to afford a home because then there would be no need for 15-minute cities, and forever renters living in ADUs. The inventory issue will not recover because no one can outbid the institutions who do not need to borrow money.

Murdoch Outlet Promotes Corporate Chair Ronna McDaniel Warning Trump Not to Avoid Murdoch Outlet Debate


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

The transparency of the puppeteers continues.  The latest example is the New York Post (Murdoch outlet) promoting a story of the RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel, appearing on Fox News (Murdoch outlet) to warn President Trump not to avoid the RNC debate hosted by Fox News, the Murdoch outlet.

The private corporation (RNC) has a vested interest in Trump delivering credibility to the organization.  The Fox News corporation has a vested interest in Trump delivering credibility and ratings to the organization.  Whether President Trump decides to attend or not, the desperation expressed by the two corporations is a little funny.

The Freudian slip in this soundbite “20 million dollars” is also funny.  WATCH: 

[NEW YORK POST] – Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has cautioned that it would be a mistake for GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump to skip the party’s primary debates.

“I think he should be on the stage. I want everybody on the stage that qualifies, obviously,” she told Fox News Wednesday. “It’s a mistake not to do the debates, but that’s going to be up to him and his campaign.”

McDaniel cited two main reasons why she feels it’s in Trump’s best interest to jump into the upcoming verbal slugfest despite holding a massive polling lead over his rivals. “One, short-term, you want to win the nomination, you got to get in front of the whole primary voters,” she said.

There’s only one thing these three corporations care about, money!

Trudeau – A Modern-Day Caligula?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Tyranny Re-Posted Jul 19, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Nathaniel Pawlowski delivered a powerful speech to the European Parliament, where he called Justin Trudeau a modern-day Caligula. Pawlowski’s father, Artur Pawlowski, has been arrested numerous times for simply speaking out against the tyrannical Canadian government. Artur Pawlowski was a vocal advocate for medical freedom and continued to speak up for the people despite threats from the government. “Government has fallen,” the younger Pawlowski said, stating that Canadians have lost all freedoms under the rule of the Young Globalist WEF Leader Justin Trudeau.

Artur is being charged with criminal mischief for preaching to the Trucker Convoy in a 19-minute sermon, deemed a radical act of terrorism against the Canadian government. “If a pastor goes to prison, what can they do to the rest of us?” the son pleaded, asking the remaining free world to help his father before his trial in August. He called Trudeau a “modern-day Caligula” for stripping Canadians of all rights and ushering in tyranny under the guise of COVID. He called out the WHO for structuring a way to take away our rights as well.

You can read more about Caligula here. He is remembered for opulence, incest, and outrageous rulings, such as naming his horse a senator. While he was a poor ruler, I believe Trudeau is far more tyrannical. There are other emperors who emerged over the long course of the Roman Empire who truly struck down the people and removed all freedoms at whim.

Commodus is a good example. Commodus believed he was a god – Hercules reincarnated – and demanded to be worshipped. Commodus renamed the calendar, declaring that all the months of the year were to be renamed corresponding to his twelve names: Lucius, Aelius, Aurelius, Commodus, Augustus, Herculeus, Romanus, Exsuperatorius, Amazonius, Invictus, Felix, and Pius. He decreed that all the legions were to be renamed. Commodianae, the fleet which imported grain from Africa was termed Alexandria Commodiana Togata. Even the Senate was to be renamed the Commodian Fortunate Senate. These insane decrees were instantly abolished upon his death when he was assassinated on December 31, 192 AD.

Edward Gibbon wrote of him in his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire:“[D]istinction of every kind soon became criminal. The possession of wealth stimulated the diligence of the informers; rigid virtue implied a tacit censure of the irregularities of Commodus; important services implied a dangerous superiority of merit; and the friendship of the father always insured the aversion of the son. Suspicion was equivalent to proof; trial to condemnation. The execution of a considerable senator was attended with the death of all who might lament or revenge his fate; and when Commodus had once tasted human blood, he became incapable of pity or remorse.” (Book 1, Chapter 4)

Still, there are more tyrants amid the Roman Empire who condemned all freedoms and appointed themselves as God over the people. Dare I refer to King Herod Antipas who arrested and later beheaded John the Baptist for speaking out against the tyrant’s marriage to his own sister-in-law, or the notorious Emperor Pontius Pilate who crucified Jesus for speaking against the government and former way of life? Those in charge do not like to have their authority questioned, even if it is in a peaceful manner.

A Devastating Video for the Career of Tucker Carlson


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

If you did not watch the two-hour+ video of Tucker Carlson and Andrew Tate [Rumble Link Here], you might not have the correct perspective for just how devastating this video is for the career of Tucker Carlson.

However, that said, this video is very useful in explaining something about Tucker Carlson that has been discussed, debated and argued on these pages for quite a while.  First, watch the video. [6 minutesWATCH:

.

Tucker flew all the way to Romania to interview Andrew Tate and present him as the victim of a horrible prosecution.  Tucker went out on a limb to portray Tate as wrongly accused.  When your entire brand is based on judgement and opinion, you cannot be as wrong as Tucker Carlson was in that portrayal of Tate.  You just can’t.

Here’s the bigger issue….

This video shows something very important.  Tucker Carlson is above average intelligence, above average communication skills, above average vocabulary, but Carlson also has ordinary and average judgement.

When your brand is established only on your judgement, and insightful opinion based on that judgement – and make no mistake the entire Carlson brand is completely organized around those two characteristics, you cannot afford to be this wrong.

With the evidence of that lacking judgement so clear, it then serves as a very specific and clear data point to reconciling other issues, like Tucker Carlson using the Twitter platform to showcase his Tucker Carlson Tonight broadcasts.

Readers here have long known my opinion of Twitter, and that analysis has equally applied to the current disposition of Elon Musk.  Twitter CEO Elon Musk is teetering on the precipice of financial ruin as a result of the extremely unstable financial position of the social media enterprise.  Twitter is a bottomless pit of costs, with almost no possibility of financial recovery without some major change in the business model.

The financial position of Twitter is the only prism that matters in the review of decisions that Elon Must is making about the platform.  Free speech, liberty, safe opinion, the public square, all of it is less than the financial viability of the company.  Every large or seemingly consequential decision on the platform is centered around the finances therein.  Despite what might be the front face or intent of Mr Elon Musk, nothing else is more important, influential or determinative of his action.

Carlson’s lack of judgement in the Andrew Tate interview, extends toward and explains his relationship with Twitter and Musk; it’s just bad judgement.

Keep this reference point in mind as you weight the opinion and analysis provided by Tucker Carlson.

NATO – Escalates Nuclear War


Armstrong Economics Blog/NATO Re-Posted Jul 18, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

What has come out of this NATO meeting is the West is escalating the war with Russia. They are expanding the “sharing” of nuclear weapons at the request of Poland, which has always been rejected previously. This means that any nation with F35 and F16 will have available to them nuclear weapons. This is why Russia has warned that handing Ukraine F16s will mean that they must now assume they could be carrying nuclear weapons, and rightly so for Ukraine is driven by its hatred and is by no means a responsible nation-state. NATO knows that.

The entire reason NATO will not really allow Ukraine to enter while it is at war has little to do with its legal code. The Neocons are using Ukraine as their sacrificial lamb on this altar of war. As long as Ukraine is not a member yet, the Neocons can funnel everything to them; they hope that Ukraine will create some false flag to justify nuclear war with Russia as their dream come true. As RFK has pointed out, immediately upon his return, Biden ordered the deployment of 3,000 more reservists to Europe. This is simply preparing to fight Russian forces on the ground in Ukraine/Europe.

Victoria Nuland is now the #2 in the State Department. Her sister-in-law Kimberly Kagan founded the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), which is the source of much of the fake news. All the ISW does is put out propaganda about Russia that they are corrupt and weak and that we can take them down in a few weeks without nuclear weapons. This family has its roots in Ukraine. Most curious, even the New York Times wrote about this Kagan family that they were really leftists and very outspoken to the point of manipulating whatever to gain their view of the world. The question is, just why is this family such warmongers? We have a major undisclosed conflict of interest, and the Biden Administration should immediately fire Victoria Nuland and all her supporters within the Biden Administration to save the world and our nation.

Victoria Nuland is really of Ukrainian Jewish descent. Her family changed their name to try to hide their Jewish ethnic background. She really would be Nudelman, not Nuland. She is actually the daughter of Yale bioethics and medicine professor Sherwin B. Nuland, who changed his surname from Nudelman to Nuland. She retained her family name Nuland to perhaps further hide her Jewish connection by marrying Robert Kagan. Victoria speaks Russian, French, and some Chinese. Hiding her Jewish background is critical. Her father was raised by parents who were Orthodox Jewish immigrants from Ukraine. Hence, her grandparents were Jewish Meyer Nudelman (1889-1958) and Vitsche Lutsky (1893-1941). This explains why Nuland has been a public proponent for Ukraine to wage war against Russia.

France’s President Emmanuel Macron and India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi are desperately trying to broker a peace deal. But Zelensky is pure evil. He has sold his own nation out to the Neocons for a handful of silver offered by Blackrock and JPMorgan. My Ukrainian sources have their eyes open. Zelensky is destroying Ukraine to capture the Donbas and Crimea, which have Russian Indigenous people they hate passionately. This is like trying to solve the differences between Sunni and Shite in the Middle East – not going to happen. Zelensky is simply a war criminal, and this is a land grab since the Ukrainian ethnic people have never occupied the Donbas.

Khrushchev was in charge of rebuilding Liev after World War II and drew the border for that province simply for administrative purposes, for it was Russia at the time. Khruschev grew up there in the Donbas, and he was followed by Brezhnev who was also born and raised in the Donbas. So we are to wage World War III for territory that has NEVER been Ukrainian? In Moscow, there has been a debate for decades about who is Russian. Stalin was from Georgia, and neither Khrushchev nor Brezhnev was born in Moscow.

Under the Ukrainian theory that the Donbas is Ukraine, Ukraine set the entire Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 in motion. Does that mean that Ukraine is the real former enemy, not Russia, since Khrushchev set that in motion? This seems to explain Victoria Nuland’s sheer hatred for Russia and her constant push for war along with her husband and the propaganda from her sister-in-law at the Institute for the Study of War that is always being quoted by the press.

Handing F16s to Ukraine, combined with this NATO shift toward a nuclear-sharing agenda, means that Russia must now consider Ukraine a nuclear threat. This is an insane escalation, and it is all being driven by this Neocon dream to annihilate Russia from the face of the planet. Meanwhile, inside Russia, their anti-war experts oppose claims from their Neocons to launch a preemptive nuclear strike. This has come out and made it clear that such a push is extremely irresponsible, according to Russia’s influential think tank. There will always be pro- and anti-government segments no matter what country you visit.

Unfortunately, the Neocon thinking is to judge others by what you yourself would do:

“I know you will punch me in the face, so I will defend myself and punch you first!”

They created the Institute for the Study of War – not PEACE. They live for war – that is all they ever preach. This is their time, and they have seized all the power of the White House and will declare war, bypassing Congress and call it a required response under the NATO treaty; thus the people, nor Congress will have any say in creating World War III. This is why the 2024 election MUST be rigged for anyone other than Biden might ask questions.
