Is Democracy dying here?


COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong; the hatred is off the charts as you say. I actually saw a young girl with a Trump hat at the gas station and two people were throwing things at her. You are right. This is how the Nazi movement began. They boycotted Jewish businesses. Then they seized control of the newspapers to publish propaganda. Then came the violence against Jewish businesses. They painted Jews as evil who had all the money and then began to confiscate their property. It looks like the same pattern here. I fear it is going to come to a head in November.

HN

REPLY: It does not matter who wins now. If the Republicans win, the left will become outraged and will never accept the vote and we will see violence intensify. If the Republicans lose, then we will see the Trump supporters become angry. There seems to be no resolution. I fear the computer is just correct. The press has enraged so many people and for what end? It just seems that Democracy is dying here. People are no longer willing to accept a loss. It is their way or no way. Civilization cannot survive in such a manner.

House Judiciary Committee Plans to Subpoena McCabe Memos Outlined in New York Times Reporting….


The House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Bob Goodlatte, tweeted today their intention to immediately subpoena the memos written by fired Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe.   The memos were part of an article presented by the New York Times citing evidence of Rod Rosenstein making statements about President Trump.

The House Judiciary Committee announced on Friday that it intends to subpoena memos from former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe detailing reported comments made by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in which he proposed secretly taping conversations with President Trump and initiating a process to remove the president by invoking the 25th Amendment.  (read more)

However, the subpoena alone that’s not the revelation-angle within the story. There’s a bigger story as noted by judiciary committee Representative Jim Jordan: “Mr. Rosenstein, give Congress the McCabe memos that we asked for in July and all the other documents we’ve requested so we can all judge for ourselves.”

The bigger revelation here is how someone, some unknown FBI officials, kept the McCabe  memos from congress and subsequently from a previous internal INSD investigation of McCabe.

According to the New York Times the memos were given to Special Counsel Robert Mueller, and a copy kept inside the FBI.  This friendly custody process ultimately kept those memos from Inspector General Michael Horowitz who wrote an entire 2018 IG report on McCabe without having that 2017 documentary evidence for citation.

Why is this important? 

Well, consider this as an example how someone, some faceless nameless group inside the system, is manipulating the outcomes of the IG investigation and subsequent IG reporting by withholding evidence that is adverse to their interests.  It is virtually guaranteed those same unnamed and unknown officials are the same people behind the unnecessary redactions within non-classified Lisa Page and Peter Strzok personal text messages.

The OIG can only report on facets of the investigation he is able to reach.  If the system within the investigated agency is withholding information, well, clearly we can see how that would impact the investigative outcome and Inspector General report.

That troubling reality circles directly back to President Trump today saying he will hold-back on his declassification directive toward DOJ/FBI documents, pending the use of those documents by the IG in the current FISA abuse probe.  In essence, President Trump is holding the DOJ and FBI accountable to an honest assessment of the internal corruption.

If IG Horowitz -using the declassified evidence- does not outline the institutional corruption and how the FISA process was weaponized for political benefit, President Trump can proceed to declassify the underlying documents to the public and expose the corrupt manipulation of more than just the DOJ and FBI; Trump will be exposing corruption within the Office of the Inspector General.  That’s the leverage.

Chairman Grassley Extends Final Deadline “10:00pm Tonight”…


WASHINGTON – The Senate Judiciary Committee earlier today offered to move next week’s hearing to receive testimony from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Judge Brett Kavanaugh to Wednesday, in order to accommodate one of several requests made by Ford’s legal team. The Committee also offered to accommodate certain other terms while respecting fairness, due process and the senators’ ability to fulfill their constitutional duties.

Chairman Grassley issued the following statement:

“Despite the fact that the July 30th letter remains hidden, my committee has been investigating the allegations and has heard from multiple witnesses since Sunday. Ms. Katz has discussed Dr. Ford’s allegations in numerous media interviews and said on TV Monday morning that Dr. Ford wants to share her account with the Senate Judiciary Committee. It’s Friday night and nothing’s been agreed to despite our extensive efforts to make testimony possible,” Grassley said. “I’m extending the deadline for response yet again to 10 o’clock this evening. I’m providing a notice of a vote to occur Monday in the event that Dr. Ford’s attorneys don’t respond or Dr. Ford decides not to testify. In the event that we can come to a reasonable resolution as I’ve been seeking all week, then I will postpone the committee vote to accommodate her testimony. We cannot continue to delay.”

The chairman issued a notice of a committee executive business meeting, at which the committee can vote on the nomination of Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh to be an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States.  (read more)

Devin Nunes Discusses Declassification Directive – POTUS Reverses Course…


House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes appears on Fox News this morning to discuss the ongoing battle between the corrupt elements within the DOJ and FBI who are working feverishly to hide information from the public.  This interview happens shortly before President Trump announces his decision to reverse course on the declassification request.

Moments after this interview President Trump tweets this:

“I met with the DOJ concerning the declassification of various UNREDACTED documents.”

President Trump meeting with DOJ, meaning Rod Rosenstein. Notice “various unredacted documents”. Heavily referencing section 3 and 4 of the declassification directive.

“They agreed to release them but stated that so doing may have a perceived negative impact on the Russia probe.”

DOJ saying they will release; but note the word “perceived negative impact”. The full sunlight (full release) would undermine the legitimacy of Robert Mueller. DOJ doesn’t want to undermine the fraudulent Mueller investigation. Rosenstein is now admitting to the President, that Muellers probe is illegitimate.

“Also, key Allies’ called to ask not to release.”

As noted last night. Likely the U.K and Australian government are both concerned and likely embarrassed at the exploitation that took place. Christopher Steele (U.K), Alexander Downer (AU) etc. The collaborate ‘spy-gate’ operation (crossfire hurricane) between the CIA, FBI and DOJ-NSD is an embarrassment; and globally no-one knows the extent to which the FISA and Five-Eyes process is used, manipulated and abused.

Key point. Trump now has the leverage.

When wondering what President Trump will do with the leverage he now carries, think back to how Donald Trump (apex predator) always holds leverage for maximum impact at specifically chosen (by him) pressure points. Trump carries leverage like currency; he withdraws from positions when he gains leverage. The ability to deploy leverage at a time of his choosing is the power; the position which creates the leverage is not as powerful, and thereby discarded.

“Therefore, the Inspector General has been asked to review these documents on an expedited basis.”

DOJ tells Trump in exchange for you withholding this weapon, we will tell our IG to rush forward with his investigation. The DOJ is likely to allow Michael Horowitz to put more damaging verbiage in his report this time.

“I believe he will move quickly on this (and hopefully other things which he is looking at).”

POTUS Trump accepts the position of the DOJ; puts the leverage in his arsenal; and then pressures the DOJ to work with Horowitz and hurry-the-hell-up with the report.

“In the end I can always declassify if it proves necessary.”

If the corrupt interests within the DOJ and FBI do not uphold their end of the bargain, POTUS retains the ability to deploy the original declassification directive…. if the outcome of the IG report is not forthcoming; or if the outcome does not match the truth; he will trigger the declassification.

It is within this section where all those who understand the truth get rightly, and understandably, worried that the DOJ will renege on the deal they just made with Trump.

“Speed is very important to me – and everyone!”

Everyone understands this could have election impact. Trump telling the corrupt DOJ to get the truth in front of the American people prior to the election.

.

Again, President Trump views these events as gaining him massive leverage toward the accusations against him by Robert Mueller.  Don’t look at this through the prism of Trump supporters – look at this through the prism of President Trump.

Robert Mueller has been held over President Trump’s head like a sword of Damocles for more than a year.   The DOJ has just handed President Trump leverage over Mueller (which POTUS can use to protect his office – Trump now controls the horsehair), in exchange for not exposing the institutional corruption within the FBI and DOJ.

Leverage over Mueller is worth withdrawing the declassification directive in exchange for allowing the FBI and DOJ to manage how the institutional corruption surfaces.

President Trump agrees to allow the DOJ to use the IG report to expose the institutional corruption thereby agreeing to permit them to control the damage.  However, the institution corruption must be exposed.  If the DOJ and FBI renege on the deal; if the IG report does not expose the institutional corruption; then all agreements are null and void.

…Oh, and President Trump wants this done prior to the election.

Uncertainty is the Mother of Volatility


QUESTION: Well you called this year the political year from hell. You got that one right again. Between trying to figure out the politics in the US, we have Britain in turmoil and Italy trying to figure out if they should stay or go. Hungary becoming more defiant and Sweden swinging to the right. You are the best at forecasting this sort of crazy stuff. You got BREXIT right and Trump’s victory. I can see your model looks at the economics and predicts a response that becomes political change. So what does this all mean?

KD

ANSWER: Regardless of your political persuasion be it for or against any of these political issues, the importance is really the impact upon CONFIDENCE. If you are for or against Trump, we still have one thing in common. We just want stability and some sense of the future to bank on. For example, if Trump were to go down, the impact upon the world market could be very dramatic and how we then stage ourselves to survive this type of financial chaos is critical. It is the same situation in Europe. If Italy pulls the cord to get out, the Euro cannot survive. What I hear from Behind the Curtain is that the ECB may be forced to cut its bond purchases by 50% and there are even those demanding Quantitative Easing MUST end by the end of the year. Draghi has DESTROYED the bond markets in Europe. Stopping QE will result in interest rates going up dramatically.

As I have said, Trump is the Counter-Trend or FALSE move. I fear what comes afterward be it now or in 2020. My experience has been that the political machine will NOT reform or look at the crisis in motion economically REGARDLESS or who is in office. Be it Democrat or Republican, they will hunker down to support the status quo of the system and that is the bottom line.

All this chaos with Trump reflects how serious the situation has become. The career politicians are desperate to get control back but they will not reform or care about the country and I seriously doubt that Trump really understands the gravity of our situation right now. So welcome to the year from Political Hell because this undermines confidence and creates UNCERTAINTY and that is the moth of volatility. So, there is no point in getting all uptight for or against Trump, Theresa May, or any Juncker in Brussels. The computer does not show that ANYONE will be able to reverse the direction we are headed into. This is merely our fate.

Step back and look at politics as the source of the moves that await us. Getting rid of Trump will only add to the uncertainty sooner than later and we have nobody on either side of the aisle who has a clue of what needs to be done or what is coming around the corner. So, look at this objectively. This is about understanding what is behind the trading strategy. That’s it. Nothing more. Nobody can save the day. We have to save ourselves. The computer is objective. It does not vote. I trust its projections for it is detached emotionally

What Kind of System is Better? Parliaments or Fixed Term Republics?


QUESTION: hi martin just a quick question about government systems. Do you think the USA would be better served by adopting a parliamentary system of governance( like for example the UK) or do think it is better served by a presidential system?

Love to know your opinions

all the best a

ANSWER: Now. The Parliamentary System is inherently far more anti-democratic. It promotes small minorities to impose their will upon the majority in order to form governments. For example, while Angela Merkel has been the Chancellor of Germany and the real power behind Brussels for whatever Germany says, the rest of Europe must jump, when you look at who actually votes for Merkel you will notice that she draws well below 40% of the vote. That means she then remains Chancellor by cutting deals with minority parties to retain personal power. Hence, you have no idea what you are voting for because even if she told the truth about what she stands for, she will have to compromise that position to hold on to power.

The French system is better insofar as you can start with 10 different parties but there are run-offs until you get down to two. The people have to vote for one or the other.

The American system was based upon the Roman Republic, which collapsed because of pervasive internal corruption by career politicians. The office of Dictator would be a person appointed to simply cut through that inability to make decisions as we see today in the US Congress because each side will oppose the other to deprive them of any credit. A Roman dictator was a magistrate of the Roman Republic, to whom they entrusted the full authority of the state to deal with some emergency or to undertake a specific duty. Every other magistrate were subordinate to his rule. Even the right of the plebeian tribunes, who no one could touch and had the power to charge politicians, could not veto his actions and any right to appeal was extremely limited.

Nonetheless, they respected that there could be an inherent danger to take over the state. Therefore, to prevent the dictatorship from threatening the state, his powers were limited.  For example, a dictator could only act within his intended sphere of authority. This is something that Mueller is in serious violation of as Special Prosecutor. A Roman dictation could never roam freely and charge people with crimes outside of the purpose for which he was appointed. Additionally, a Roman dictator was obligated to resign his office once his appointed task had been completed. This too is something completely out of control today as with Mueller. He can remain in that position for 8 years as long as Trump could possibly be in office. A Roman dictator’s terms would require renewal every six months. There is no review of Mueller allowed.

The American system is far the superior political system. However, it lacks limitations to prevent oligarchies. There should be term limits for all politicians to prevent careers which lead to corruption and tyranny.

The term of office should be limited to ONE YEAR and out. They should serve as the supervisors of the bureaucracy. The power to indict must be taken away from the Department of Justice and that decision should be also presented to a panel of independent lawyers who make that decision, not a prosecutor. There should also be no prosecutorial immunity. I for want would require that everyone votes from a computer on each bill and the bill cannot be greater than two pages in length and it may not involve more than one subject matter.

Any law must be FIRST ruled on if it is Constitutional BEFORE it is enacted. Judges should be appointed by lawyers, not politicians, and they should serve for no more than two years. No criminal offenses should involve jail or prison EXCEPT for violence and political corruption. I am sure there are a few other safeguards we can add. This is not my manifest in total

“God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? We have been assured in the Sacred Writings that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this. I also believe that, without his concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel.” Benjamin Franklin-Constitutional Convention of 1787

If God is not sovereign over the land and its people, then the land and its people become cut off from their Creator. Without God, a God-centered view turns into a self-centered view. Divine purpose turns into no purpose resulting in a lost people without moral compass and self- discipline. In Obama World, what once was celebrated is now condemned; once reviled, now worshipped, a culture grown carnal, materialistic, coarse, vulgar and self-indulgent. America, once the beacon of light for the entire world to see, is now a beacon of darkness and evil, a government that prefers shadows and the dark because their work is evil, a government that repels light because their corruption would be exposed.

One of the classic Biblical signs of a nation under judgment is a warning, when its hedge of protection has been lifted, its borders and national security breached. 9/11 was America’s wake-up call, a prophetic manifestation of such a warning.That warning should have prompted Americans to repent their sins, experience a spiritual revival, and return to God, but instead the “Isaiah 9:10 Effect” took place, a prideful arrogant national apostasy that Jewish prophet and author Jonathan Cahn outlines in his brilliant book “The Harbinger.”

Cahn’s most recent book “The Mystery of the Shemitah,” unlocks more keys to Americas future judgement and the calamities leading up to it. Cahn explains how the Bible reveals a clear pattern before judgement and attempts to warn through; visions, audible voices, prophetic utterances, signs, the written word, prophetic acts, supernatural occurrences and the outworking of natural events. Cahn’s Biblical facts reveal shocking evidence of Gods warning and judgment on America during the Shemitah years.

What is the Shemitah? The Israelites were commanded to keep the seventh day holy; separate and distinct from the other days of the week. On the Sabbath all regular work and worldly endeavors were to cease because it was a day to rest and be solely devoted to the Lord. What is not well known is that every seventh year was a Sabbath ‘year’ (Leviticus 25: 1-4) It was to be a holy year specially devoted to the Lord. All sowing and reaping, all plowing and planting, all gathering and harvesting had to cease by the end of the sixth year. “Six years you shall sow your land and gather its produce, but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow” (Exodus 23: 10-11) The Sabbath year was not only a designated time for the people to rest, it was a time for the land to rest and let the poor and animals partake of its bounty. In the Hebrew civil calendar the very last climatic day of the Shemitah year is Elul 29. It is when sweeping transformations always took place in the nations financial realm, when all credit and debt was wiped clean. (Deuteronomy 15:1-2) It was Israels day of financial nullification and remission, a massive cleansing of the economic and financial state, also called the Lord’s release.

The Shemitah year has always been a reminder that God is the source of all blessings, spiritual and otherwise, the Lord’s antidote to wipe away material attachments and humble the pride of his people.The Shemitah can also be a year of Gods judgement, the first occurring in 586 B.C. (Lamentation 1: 1-5) The city was Jerusalem, the kingdom Judah, the prophet Jeremiah. Jeremiah had tried to warn the people to repent or for seventy years the nation would be under the dominion of Babylon and at the end of that time the Lord would cause Babylon to fall. What does seventy years have to do with judgement? The answer is found in (Leviticus 26:31-35) The “sabbaths of the land” referred in the passage are the Sabbath years! If Israel would keep the Shemitah, God would keep and bless Israel with all that was needed and beyond, but to break and reject God’s covenant, the Shemitah would signify the opposite! There were seventy years when the Shemitah was not observed, so their judgement would last seventy years!

If God is rejected and not sovereign over the land and its people, then the land and its people become cut off from the Creator! The people of Israel drove God out of their lives to become their own gods, masters of the land, their world, and their destiny. They rewrote the law and redefined what was right and wrong, moral or immoral! Not only did they do whatever they wanted with their lives and with each other, their children were lifted up as sacrifices on the altars of foreign gods. The ultimate sin of offering their sons and daughters to the fires of Baal and Molech brought about Gods judgement and the nations mass destruction.The Israelites had driven the Shemitah from the land, now the Shemitah would remove their blessings and destroy them.

How does the Shemitah relate to modern America? Financial terms are very much like agricultural terms; financial investment is called sowing, funding called seed money, the start of a new enterprise called planting, investment returns called the yield, yield is fruition when one reaps the yield and the Hebrew word for fruit and produce is Tebuah, which also means gain, income and revenue! The Shemitah year can and has resulted in numerous economic crashes!

America was established by God, consecrated to his glory and as a result was richly blessed with peace, prosperity, and protection for many years. But, national apostasy has replaced God’s grace and mercy with calamity and disfavor. Millions of unborn children have been lifted to the altars of Baal and Christians who refuse to abide by the evil are being mocked, vilified and persecuted! Cahn describes how disobedience to God has led to not only Americas past financial crashes, but the toppling of the twin towers, and in all probability will result in the toppling of the American empire! He relates to the reader how towers rise high from their foundations and how the Shemitah brings them back to their foundations. America is now in the year of the Shemitah and its climatic last day, God’s day of remission, will take place on Sunday, September 13th, 2015. It is noteworthy to know that the last day the stock market will be

open the last week of the Shemitah year is Friday, September 11th!

To add to the complexity of the 2015 Shemitah year, two solar eclipses will take place. On March 20th, a solar eclipse will mark the exact halfway point of the Shemitah, and falls on Nisan 1 which is a sign of judgement.The other solar eclipse will mark the last day of the Shemitahs peak and culmination, the remission day of the ‘Year of Remission!”

Luke 12:48 says, “to whom much is given, from him much will be required.” America’s covenant with God has been abused and judgement is coming. In Hebrew, the word for safety is Yeshua and translated in English it means there is no safety outside of Jesus!

God’s words to Ezekiel were, “If the watchman sees the danger coming and does not sound the alarm to warn the people, their blood will be upon his head.” Several months before the Ferguson, Missouri riots took place, I had a clear vision of a black wooden hearse-like carriage drawn by a team of magnificent black horses, their manes fiercely blowing in the wind. Below the hearse was a sign that said MISSOURI. Is it possible that my vision was another warning that judgement is near? Why did I choose to read “The Mystery of the Shemitah last week, my last chapter read this past Sunday when the scriptural message in church the same day was about the Shemitah? The reading, 2Chronicles 36 15-22, says in part;

“The Lord, the God of their fathers, sent word to them through his messengers again and again, because he had pity on his people and on his dwelling place. But they mocked God’s messengers; despised his words and scoffed at his prophets until the wrath of the Lord was aroused against his people and there was no remedy.” After much destruction of property, finances and life, the land lay in desolation “until the seventy years were completed in fulfillment of the word of the Lord spoken by Jeremiah.”

The other message on Sunday was equally as important: John 14:26; “When the Counselor’s comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me. And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.”

Are we ready to testify?

Give me ears to listen….give me eyes to see, give me words to speak and show your face to me.
