Insufferable J6 Committee Files Political Subpoena for President Trump Testimony as a Midterm Loss Election Shield and Insurance Policy
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on October 21, 2022 | Sundance
Yesterday, Politico noted President Trump had enlisted the law firm of Harmeet Dhillon as a proactive measure against a J6 subpoena. “Former President Donald Trump has hired a firm to engage with the Jan. 6 select committee on its forthcoming subpoena of him, POLITICO has learned.” {link} Less than a day later the J6 committee issues the formal subpoena.
Once again, the corrupt DC institutional system, and specific media participation, are identified by the leaks and recipients. The injustice system, DOJ/FBI always use the New York Times and Politico as their advanced public relations firms. The insufferable J6 subpoena details can be FOUND HERE.
WASHINGTON DC, J6 Committee – “Pursuant to a unanimous vote of the Select Committee, Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) and Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) today announced that the Select Committee has issued a subpoena to former President Donald Trump for testimony under oath and records relevant to the Select Committee’s investigation into the attack on the January 6th on the United States Capitol and its causes.
In a letter to Mr. Trump, Chairman Thompson and Vice Chair Cheney underscored his central role in a deliberate, orchestrated effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and block the transfer of presidential power, a matter central to the committee’s investigation as it reviews the facts and considers recommendations to prevent a recurrence of the violence of January 6th.” {link}
The committee is giving President Trump until November 4th to comply with the document request, with a demand for testimony by November 16th.
No president (executive branch) has ever been forced to give testimony to a legislative committee (legislative branch) because the very foundation of the demand violates the separation of powers as established in the constitution. This legal argument will take some time to work itself out, and the (un)likelihood of the subpoena being successful speaks to the political nature of the theatrics in advance of the 2022 midterm election.
That said, having been the recipient of two J6 subpoenas, successfully defeated – in part thanks to your support, I can provide some insight into why President Trump enlisted the Dhillon Law Firm.
At least from my experience, there are only a handful of potential lawyers or law firms who will even take the case of a fight against a J6 committee subpoena because: (1) it is just so fraught with politics, and (2) the entire enterprise is a litigious and financial black hole.
The weaponized J6 committee has a bottomless budget, the J6 targets do not. Ultimately, the financial cost is the root cause of why Lawfare succeeds. It’s just too damned expensive to fight them off, even with great lawyers. I can only imagine how much Steve Bannon has spent, and how much President Trump will have to spend.
Even a simple responsive letter to the committee, depending on scale and scope, starts around $10,000 and goes up from there; that’s just for the initial response. If the initial response isn’t successful, the fight retainer starts around six figures for the next round… and that’s just a single and simple case. The more complex legal arguments are exponentially more costly for the targets. Justice system? Yeah, good luck with that.
Now, given the J6 subpoena against President Trump is likely to fail on constitutional grounds, let’s talk about the motive for why they would do this.
The J6 Committee has a timeline that is now extended beyond the midterm election. This is not accidental. The midterm election is likely to result in the House flipping from Democrat control to Republican control. Keep in mind both Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger are lame ducks right now. Additionally, the people inside the J6 committee machinery are Lawfare agents like Mary McCord.
The committee is timing their political effort to extend beyond the midterms in order to shield itself from Republican scrutiny. The oft familiar “ongoing investigation” shield becomes a purposeful technique to protect themselves, a transparent motive surfaces for their timeline.
Post-election, the committee will lean heavily on the media to avoid any/all discoveries of their malicious targeting conduct if the midterm elections remove the Democrats from power. This is the way these conniving and corrupt political lawfare agents work.
Unfortunately, the Republican wing is not an opposing force against the Democrat wing. They are both wings of the same DC UniParty vulture. So, we should not anticipate any full combat in the post-election House by an angered GOP against Democrats. Everything will be optics; nothing will be substantive.
Bottom line, the J6 subpoena against Trump should fail, but that’s not the real motive for the J6 to push the subpoena against Trump. They are using this Trump subpoena, and the long battle that will ensue over it, as a shield against scrutiny by a flipped power structure in the House of Representatives.
If Republicans win the House, Nancy Pelosi will retire. Bookmark it. There is no scenario where Nancy Pelosi will remain in congress after all of the political manipulation, she has done in the past four years. Adam Schiff will likely be minority leader.

AOC Has Got to Go
Armstrong Blog/Politics Re-Posted Oct 21, 2022 by Martin Armstrong
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) is no longer the progressive sweetheart in the public eye. AOC’s willingness to thrust America into war has caused her supporters to see her as a hypocrite and a coward. “I believed in you, and you became the very thing you sought to fight against,” one member in a Bronx AOC town hall event yelled. “You ARE the establishment!”
Her entire platform is crumbling. She came into the political sphere as an “outsider” who would fight against the establishment, but she is another swamp member. This is the same woman who pretended to cry at the southern border and demand that the encampments be taken down, only for her to ask the migrants to leave New York. Barely anyone showed up to her town hall meeting, but those who did had choice words for her.
AOC has voted to supply Ukraine with weapons and training. Her supporters were under the false impression that a progressive Socialist would be against a nuclear Armageddon. “You voted to mobilize and send money to Ukrainian Nazis! You are a coward! Where are you against the war mobilization?” one citizen shouted.
Hecklers began shouting, “AOC HAS GOT TO GO!” Her true colors are finally showing. She was never anti-establishment and never intended to be a voice for Main Street. This comes on the heels of Pelosi being booed at a major concert in New York and Jill Biden facing heckling at a Philadelphia Eagles game. All these incidents occurred in blue states. Things are not looking good for the Democrats this November.
Iranian Drones
Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Oct 21, 2022 by Martin Armstrong
The western alliance is not the only one providing military training. Iran has sent military members to Crimea to train Russian troops. Specifically, they are training them to use Iranian drones. There were reports of Russian troops visiting Iran in August to learn how to operate unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Since then, there have been numerous reports of UAVs failing, but the successfully deployed UAVs are capable of causing serious damage.
Shaheds, also known as kamikaze or suicide drones, explode on impact and are capable of also carrying missiles. This drone is less expensive to develop, but it can travel up to 1,000 miles and leave a range of destruction in its path. Mohajer-6 UAVs can be used for spying purposes and can, of course, also hold a missile. Ukraine claims that they have shot down at least 200 drones and have the capability to jam radars.
Both Russia and Iran have denied trading weapons, but what do they have to lose now that all the cards are on the table? Russia has violated the UN Security Council Resolution 2231 by transferring arms from Iran. The West has already sanctioned Russia in every way possible. Numerous nations are placing sanctions on Iran now, but again, they are not too concerned. Tehran and Moscow, two nuclear powers, are strengthening their relationship and seem prepared to face any Western consequences while resuming trade.
Biden is Not President

COMMENT: Hello Mr. Armstrong,
as to the below “Blog/ Corruption”
…. and then there is Canada – the next door neighbor … who could have avoided a North American oil crisis …
but it’s Pipeline was shut down by Biden to spite Trump …. but no mention of this any-wheres … (not here either !?)
…Biden preferred to go begging to the Arabs rather than deal with Canada …
AHP
REPLY: Liz Truss just resigned for she finally understood that being the head of state does not mean you have real power. I know certainly that the Globalists behind the curtain reversed her policy and she has resigned simply because she finally realized that Britain is run by a dark sinister force that is connected to the WEF.
Joe Biden is no more President than Liz Truss was the Prime Minister of Britain. Not only do we not live in democracies, but we also do not even live in actual Republics. We live under an Oligarchy and make no mistake about it, they are calling the shots. The Build Back Better slogan was launched at the WEF. NEVER in the history of human civilization have we EVER seen all the world leaders adopting that very same slogan. We are on the path to 2032. We need to start thinking about what new form of government we must create. Our current version will collapse by 2028.
They put me in prison to try to stop the forecasts. That didn’t work. When the Crash came in 2007, they were calling it Armstrong’s Revenge. That is when members of Congress were coming to me asking for help even when the corruption of NY thought they silenced me. They can kill me if they want. That will not stop the collapse of their agenda. They are doomed.
So as the old Rap-Song went, Will the Real Slim-Shaddy Please Stand Up – it should be revised to Will the Real President Please Stand Up.
CDC Votes Unanimously to Include Experimental COVID-19 Vaccine in Their Recommended Pediatric Immunization Schedule
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on October 20, 2022 | Sundance
Unbelievable and infuriating at the same time. The CDC voted unanimously today (15-0) to include the emergency use authorized mRNA vaccine as part of the childhood immunization schedule, effectively forcing most school aged children to undergo a COVID shot as part of the state requirement to attend school.
(Via Politico) The CDC’s independent vaccine advisers voted 15-0 Thursday to add most Covid-19 vaccines offered in the U.S. to the childhood, adolescent and adult immunization schedules.
The immunization schedules, which are updated every fall before going into effect the following year, consolidate all of the CDC’s vaccine recommendations in one document for states that use them as guidance for school entry requirements and busy physicians. The additions formalize recommendations the CDC has already made on Covid vaccination in individuals ages 6 months and older for shots that the FDA has approved or has authorized for emergency use.
Covid vaccines’ inclusion on the schedules don’t constitute mandates, particularly for schoolchildren, which are the purview of states, localities or jurisdictions, depending on local laws. Still, the committee’s vote sparked controversy and debate on social media about what the additions mean for vaccine requirements after Fox News’ Tucker Carlson asserted Tuesday that the CDC would trigger mandates for students.
“This doesn’t represent new recommendations. This represents sort of a summary of existing recommendations,” said advisory panel member Matthew Daley, a senior investigator at the Institute for Health Research at Kaiser Permanente Colorado. “But I will acknowledge … there is symbolism in adding Covid-19 to the childhood immunization schedule, and that symbolism is that we view this as routine and that we view this as Covid is here to stay.”
The FDA has approved two messenger-RNA vaccines targeting Covid: The Pfizer-BioNTech primary series vaccine for people 12 and older and the Moderna primary series for adults 18 and older. They’re each authorized for emergency use for children as young as 6 months, and all booster doses — including new formulations designed to target the original coronavirus strain and two Omicron subvariants — are authorized for emergency use.

Another Appeals Court Finds Progressive Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Unconstitutional
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on October 20, 2022 | Sundance
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CPFB) was originally created by congress (Elizabeth Warren lead) as a quasi-constitutional watchdog agency to reach into the banking and financial system, under the guise of oversight, and extract money by fining entities for CFPB defined regulatory and/or compliance violations.
Essentially, the CFPB is a congressionally authorized far-left extortion scheme in the banking sector. The CFPB levies fines; the fines generate income; however, unlike traditional fines that go to the U.S. treasury, the CFBP fines are then redistributed to left-wing organizations to help fund their political activism.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) was the brainchild of Senator Elizabeth Warren as an outcome of the Dodd-Frank legislation. Within the CFPB Warren tried to set up the head of the agency, the Director, in a manner that that he/she would operate without oversight. Unfortunately, her dictatorial-fiat-design collapsed when challenged in court. Backstory #1 – Backstory #2
Previously, a federal court found the CFPB Director position held too much power and deemed it unconstitutional. The court decision noted that giving the President power to fire the Director would fix the constitutional problem. However, a second set of legal challenges targeted the core of the CFPB scheme, the financing.
WASHINGTON DC – An appeals court on Wednesday ruled that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s funding mechanism is unconstitutional, in a victory for lenders that have targeted the agency’s structure in a years-long bid to tamp down regulation.
A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the design of the CFPB violated the Constitution because it receives funding through the Federal Reserve, rather than appropriations legislation passed by Congress. Democrats established the structure when they created the CFPB in the 2010 Dodd-Frank law as a way to shield the bureau from political pressures that could impact its oversight of the finance industry.
The judges also vacated a 2017 small-dollar lending rule targeted by the payday lending advocates who brought the case — the Community Financial Services Association of America and the Consumer Service Alliance of Texas.
“Congress’s decision to abdicate its appropriations power under the Constitution, i.e., to cede its power of the purse to the Bureau, violates the Constitution’s structural separation of powers,” the judges wrote.
The appeals court ruling marked the latest victory for the finance industry, which has fought for years in Congress and the courts to blunt the CFPB’s reach and limit its ability to police financial services. Republican lawmakers have also worked for years to stifle the CFPB and revamp its structure, arguing the agency lacks accountability.
“Even among self-funded agencies, the Bureau is unique,” Judge Cory Wilson wrote Wednesday. “The Bureau’s perpetual self-directed, double-insulated funding structure goes a significant step further than that enjoyed by the other agencies on offer.”
The CFPB Wednesday declined to say whether it would appeal the decision to the full 5th Circuit. CFPB spokesperson Sam Gilford said “there is nothing novel or unusual about Congress’s decision to fund the CFPB outside of annual spending bills.” (read more)
Here’s where we remind everyone of the importance of regular budget appropriations. There hasn’t been a standard federal budgetary spending process in place since 2008. Every budget since Obama’s first term has been a series of continuous resolutions, omnibus spending bills and appropriations without regular order.
This has not been an accidental outcome.
Chaos in British Politics, Liz Truss Resigns as Prime Minister After only 44 Days in Office
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on October 20, 2022 | Sundance
Elevate far enough and you return to that same place where the international finance and banking system is making decisions on politics. The western alliance is ‘all-in‘ on the goal of using climate change as the entry point to the carbon trading system. No one is going to be allowed to challenge this agenda.
British Prime Minister Liz Truss has resigned after only 44 days in office, driven mostly by the financial system reaction to her proposal that taxes should be lowered in order to stimulate the economy. In the big picture, the years of slowly advancing progressive politics in the U.K. has culminated in a political system that is only manageable by a leader who retains a globalist financial outlook and a climate change policy framework.
Prime Minister Truss’s economic agenda, lower taxes – stimulate growth, in combination with an emergency effort to quickly develop oil, coal and natural gas exploitation (fracking etc.) in order to avoid the escalating European energy crisis, was just too much and too radical. The financial markets responded negatively, the World Economic Forum (WEF)was unhappy, and western alliance leaders were critical, including Joe Biden:
Biden called Prime Minster Truss’s proposed tax cuts “a mistake” earlier this week. Biden said he “wasn’t the only one” who thought as much, indicating he had talked to other western alliance leaders who thought the same.
“I wasn’t the only one that thought it was a mistake. I think that the idea of cutting taxes on the super-wealthy at a time when … I disagree with the policy, but it’s up to Britain to make that judgment, not me,” Biden said. With domestic opposition and international pressure, it became clear that Liz Truss was going to collapse. She did.
.
(Daily Mail) – British Prime Minister Liz Truss resigned today after just 44 days in office, sending the country’s parliament into chaos and making it the laughing stock of the world.
Truss only took over from former leader Boris Johnson on September 6 after winning an internal Conservative Party leadership contest. She quickly lost the faith of the party to such an extent that she was deemed unfit to lead last night in a wave of no confidence letters from colleagues.
As a result, she announced her resignation today on the steps of 10 Downing Street.
Her brief time in office is the shortest in modern political history. The British public have been left stunned and red-faced by the upheaval, with many now questioning who the next leader will be.
Boris Johnson, who was himself forced to resign after losing the confidence of the party, is said to be mulling a return. Sources say he plans to throw his hat into the ring again for re-election.
Whoever takes office will become the second unelected Prime Minister in less than two months. Truss assured on Thursday that the process would be completed within a week.
President Biden, who met Truss as Prime Minister once, said: ‘The United States and the United Kingdom are strong Allies and enduring friends — and that fact will never change.
‘I thank Prime Minister Liz Truss for her partnership on a range of issues including holding Russia accountable for its war against Ukraine.
‘We will continue our close cooperation with the U.K. government as we work together to meet the global challenges our nations face.’ (read more)
The establishment of the global trading platform, using climate change and an intentional energy crisis, is of particular importance to the people who run the United Kingdom, Europe and Australia.
Since Liz Truss was put into place as prime minister Queen Elizabeth II died, and King Charles III is now positioned to support the globalists behind the international financial system. This is a critical time for the United Kingdom to join and lead the new climate change energy system known as Build Back Better. With King Charles III, this is a key moment. Having PM Liz Truss in place was not helpful to the bankers and multinationals.
It’s important to remain elevated and not stuck in the granular outcomes of this global inflection point. Western allied leaders and the central banks are focused on the agenda, and anyone who puts up any opposition becomes cannon fodder amid the international unity.
Oil, coal and natural gas must be stopped. Green energy is good. Traditional energy resource development is bad. Ukraine is good. Russia is bad. Banks must raise rates to keep lowering economic activity. Growing economies are bad. Dependence on energy must be lowered. Taxes must remain elevated in order for government to provide the subsides for the lowered economic activity they are creating. Poverty is good. Independence is bad. The collective dependency state is good. The ability to afford holding on to individual luxuries like cars, air conditioning, home heating, housing etc are bad.
At the end of the rainbow is a western created carbon trading platform that will make citizens serfs, forced to ask permission from government for every indulgence.
This system of everything is what the globalists are chasing.
Liz Truss made some claims that were against the interests of the multinational and financial system elites. She’s gone now…
Keep watching to see if Rishi Sunak or Boris Johnson is selected to replace. WATCH (it’s only 1 minute):
