This is interesting and needs further research to confirm. John Fredericks is reporting today that Georgia may potentially decertify the 2020 election result for both the presidential race and senate race if the Fulton County audit confirms the alleged 30,000 fraudulent ballots. [Rumble Link Here] WATCH:
.
Keep in mind, there are a lot of financial grifters and opportunists connected to the audit storyline. It is worthwhile doing substantive local research in Georgia before taking the word of anyone on these critical issues. From the perspective of CTH the current status of the Garland Favorito lawsuit is not as solid as many people claim it is.

As disturbing as this statement is, considering the prior admissions of warrantless wiretapping by the FBI using the NSA database, this does not come as a surprise.
Remember, for five consecutive years the U.S. intelligence community has admitted to the FISA court they continually conduct illegal searches of U.S. citizen data, using the NSA database, and they admit to illegally extracting information which is illegally shared with interests outside the intelligence community.
Tonight on Tucker Carlson the Fox News Host outlined how an NSA whistleblower contacted him and told him the NSA was conducting electronic surveillance of his communication. To verify the authenticity of the claim the whistleblower told Carlson what the content of his private text messages and emails contained. While alarming in part, again this should not be surprising.

Apparently, if confirmed, the guiding hands that pull the puppet strings within the justice department have weighed the benefit of starting a full-scale civil war and determined it is not in their best interests, at least at the moment, and possibly not until they can get COVID lockdown 2.0 triggered, to anger 100 million very focused American patriots.
[Via Politico] Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance has indicated he does not currently plan to charge the Trump Organization with crimes related to allegations of “hush money” payments and real estate value manipulations, according to a personal lawyer for Donald Trump.
Ronald Fischetti, a New York attorney who represents the former president, said on Monday that in a meeting last week, he asked Vance’s team for details on charges they were considering.
[…] According to Fischetti, members of Vance’s team said they were considering bringing charges against the Trump Organization and its individual employees related to alleged failures to pay taxes on corporate benefits and perks. It has been widely reported that those perks included cars and apartments and appear to only involve a small number of executives.
“We asked, ‘Is there anything else?’” Fischetti told POLITICO. “They said, ‘No.’” “It’s crazy that that’s all they had,” he added. (read more)

As we have mentioned previously, the United States Department of Justice is prepared to use federal law enforcement (FBI) to secure their position. The purpose of the announcements should be clear to everyone. We discussed and outlined the background previously. {Go Deep 1} and {Go Deep Two}
In the background of these maneuvers corporate Big Tech, corporate U.S. media and those DC politicians under the control of multinational corporations, have been instructed to push the “domestic extremist” narrative.
Any organized and articulate truth-tellers are considered subversive, ie. against the interests of the U.S. government. The January 6th DC protest is being used as an illustrative example for that narrative.
In an intelligence community controlled operation (ex. General Stanley McCrystal), ideological deplatforming, censorship, content removal and ultimately control of voices who would warn of larger issues, continues daily. […] “The group, Defeat Disinfo, will use artificial intelligence and network analysis to map discussion of [opposition] claims on social media. It will seek to intervene by identifying the most popular counter-narratives and boosting them through a network of more than 3.4 million influencers across the country — in some cases paying users with large followings to take sides against [their opposition].” (source)
Let me be very clear… stop and hear the drums… Something is about to happen. Approximately 100 million American voters are considered dissidents now. Meanwhile the FBI is preparing for the American people to implement a grassroot solution to deal with a corrupt federal government; a solution I would call “extreme federalism”.
The solution to the scale of DC corruption is local and state action using the constitution, specifically the 10th amendment, against the advancing overreach of corrupt DC officials.
Extreme federalism is local and state government refusing to comply, totally ignoring, unconstitutional demands by the federal government. This approach can become visible in varying degrees of intensity. State laws protecting voting integrity is only one facet.
Beyond simple legislative push-back, imagine if the State of Texas refused to facilitate any task for the border visit by Kamala Harris. No Texas state trooper escorts, no security, no facilitation once the White House entourage exits the airport. Extreme federalism is the intentional use of the state right provisions outlined within the constitution to stop facilitating federal offices of any form or function.
Imagine if FBI field offices were forced to close by state action taking back ownership of the property by eminent domain. Imagine if state national guard elements were instructed not to comply with federal requests for support. Extreme federalism is local sheriffs, constitutional officers, rebuking unconstitutional decrees and refusing to comply with federal agencies.
Extreme federalism is executed along the same concept of “sanctuary cities” or “sanctuary states” defying federal law. However, extreme federalism is the reverse scenario where the unconstitutional efforts are identified by states who create sanctuaries for law-abiding citizens who forcefully demand representative government and self-determination.
Extreme federalism is a reaffirmation of the original intent of the United States constitution, and we do not need F-15s and nuclear weapons to achieve it. What we need is strong–will, brave state-level leadership and unrelenting citizen determination. We The People are the people we have been waiting for.
Parents and citizens confronting Marxist indoctrination within ideological school boards is one example. That is why the Feds & Media are fighting back against visible grassroot activity. They can sense this approach gaining wider acceptance as local populations see success in their efforts.
Local Sheriffs may soon align with the population they are sworn to protect and serve; that enhances the risk to the federal collective mindset.
State legislatures and State Governors taking back absolute control from federal overreach is a bottom up way for extreme federalism to have massive impact. Local congressional district elections are then fought-out based on the priority of the local community. Again, more original intent that is adverse to the federal collective.
Those behind the Biden administration, those who worked within the corrupt system to put him in office, can see how they might well lose control if this continues. They are acting exactly as we would expect given this growing reality.

Governor Ron DeSantis, the information highlighted in the example below is provided as affirmation to what you likely already know; however, I provide the enhanced granular background to contemplate as you look toward the horizon. This information is provided publicly because there is a purposeful reason to continue pulling back the curtain for a larger electoral awakening.
As a former congressman you know the duplicity of the bureaucratic federal system that you left behind. The traditional framework of three co-equal branches of government has been usurped by a larger and deeper network now represented by terminology describing the intelligence community. The example below highlights just one way the system is self-protecting.
On October 19, 2020, former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr appointed John Durham as special prosecutor under authorities provided by DOJ regulations [28 cfr 600]. However, AG Bill Barr did not tell the public at the time of the appointment. Within the original appointment AG Barr notes the reason for doing this quietly [Page 2, Paragraph (e)]:
“Pursuant to 28 C.F.R. § 600.9(b), I have determined that the notification requirement … should be tolled until at least after the November 3, 2020 election because legitimate and investigative privacy concerns warrant confidentiality.“
In essence, AG Bill Barr stated he did not want to impact the 2020 presidential election with a notification to congress or the public of this appointment. While the justification for this approach is clearly within the unspoken rules of the DOJ not wanting to give the impression of interference in political elections, we must also accept these unspoken DOJ rules only flow in one direction – when Democrat party politicians need to be protected.
However, beyond the justification for not informing the public that U.S. Attorney John Durham was now empowered with special prosecutor authorities before the 2020 presidential election, there are much bigger issues that surface; and this must be accepted and discussed in its purposeful totality.
♦ Notification of the special prosecutor appointment did not surface until December 1, 2020, when AP journalist Michael Balsamo first wrote about it (SEE HERE). Based on a recent widely-viewed article published in the Atlantic, we now know Balsamo was summoned by AG Barr to Main Justice for an informal lunch were several issues were discussed: “Barr’s betrayal came on December 1, over lunch in the attorney general’s private dining room with Michael Balsamo, a Justice Department beat reporter at the Associated Press.” (link)
The most recent headlines surround AG Bill Barr telling Mr. Balsamo: “To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election,” thus the current narrative du jour. However, in hindsight we can now enhance the background of that Dec. 1st meeting between AG Bill Barr and AP journalist Michael Balsamo to include the attorney general informing the AP about the appointment of John Durham as a special prosecutor. Balsamo wrote about the Durham appointment on that exact date, December 1, 2020.
The reason for drawing your attention to the timeline is to emphasize the nature of how the DOJ, in this example AG Bill Barr, coordinates with specific intent to make certain information public at certain times, while holding back information that may be adverse to DOJ interests which are often political.
Additionally, and very importantly, do not let it go without emphasis how a special prosecutor appointment would NEVER remain secret, without leaks, from personnel within the larger DOJ institution who are in close and frequent contact with their allies in the media.
Given the scope of known leaks from the DOJ is it almost certain the New York Times, Washington Post and Politico knew of the October 19th appointment, but did not report on it because the background material was adverse to their collective interests.
Now, please allow me to highlight the obvious and more alarming political motive; this is where a larger understanding of duplicity becomes even more important.
♦ We find out on December 1st (after the election) that AG Bill Barr previously appointed John Durham as a special counsel to investigate criminal matters on October 19, 2020. AG Bill Barr notified the Associated Press (Michael Balsamo) and the Senate Judiciary Committee on the *exact same day. The sequence is: Barr tells the media, then Barr tells congress:
*It is critical to understand how the DOJ system operates at a political level -when they have a very specific political intent- while noting the dates of activity and the dates of notification of that activity; two very different dynamics.
Given the background of information on how Bill Barr operated as a U.S. Attorney General, we can now see the specific intent for the AG to appoint Durham on that specific date, in that specific way.
(1) The shift in the investigative definition/authority now locked down President Trump from demanding the pre-election release of any information that might touch upon the Durham special counsel purview. Any request by President Trump would now be met with the familiar shield of an “ongoing investigation“. You will note this was one of the primary purposes of the Rod Rosenstein appointed Robert Mueller special counsel, and this shield was deployed against the office of the President numerous times when the president requested information be made public. The administrative state is self-protecting.
(2) Notice the date of the appointment, October 19, 2020. This date blocked the President from demanding public release and simultaneously fell just 93 days before the Biden inauguration of Jan 20, 2021. This provided Joe Biden one week to use the 100 day back-look nullification of executive branch action. In essence, Biden could have easily ended the Durham probe if he wanted. Strategic timing.
(3) Additionally, notice how AG Bill Barr provided another exit if needed. Under DOJ regulations [28 cfr 600] a special counsel must come from “outside government“; John Durham was not outside government and did not resign his position prior to the appointment. Bill Barr gave the appearance of a special counsel appointment while knowing the legal validity could easily collapse upon challenge (if the Biden administration choose):
“(a) An individual named as Special Counsel shall be a lawyer with a reputation for integrity and impartial decisionmaking, and with appropriate experience to ensure both that the investigation will be conducted ably, expeditiously and thoroughly, and that investigative and prosecutorial decisions will be supported by an informed understanding of the criminal law and Department of Justice policies. The Special Counsel shall be selected from outside the United States Government. Special Counsels shall agree that their responsibilities as Special Counsel shall take first precedence in their professional lives, and that it may be necessary to devote their full time to the investigation, depending on its complexity and the stage of the investigation.” (link)
Obviously Bill Barr is a smart man. He would know the regulations he cites would require the special counsel to come from “outside the U.S. government,” thus such a simple flaw cannot be looked upon as anything except purposeful.
(4) If the 2020 election outcome did not remove President Trump, notice the special counsel appointment would have continued to hamstring him and keep the administrative state protected from sunlight. Yet, another insurance policy put into place amid a variety of DOJ and FBI insurance policies deployed.
Everything within the Durham appointment as special counsel, the timing, the justification for secrecy, the manner & method, and later the way it was revealed through AP journalist Michael Balsamo points to a coordinated strategy. Note the “kick the can” aspect to the strategy began well before the 2020 election.
Returning to the original -albeit hidden at the time- date of the appointment… October 19, 2020, someone around President Trump was informed about the shift in the Durham probe to a special counsel; and someone justified to the president why that special counsel would remain hidden. Perhaps Bill Barr himself, but I doubt it. It is more likely a ‘high level’ DOJ official put the spin on the appointment to someone like Mark Meadows or the White House counsel.
How do we know that President Trump was informed, manipulated and conned?…
Listen to this very specific speech segment he gave on October 19, 2020, the exact date of Durham becoming a special prosecutor, from Prescott Arizona:
Kamala finally made the trip to the border, although it was really just the airport in El Paso.
During Trump’s speech on Saturday he mentioned that Biden had violated his oath by not protecting our borders. In other words, China Joe failed to protect America. In fact, Biden encouraged illegal aliens to pour in and get free stuff on the taxpayer’s dime.
That’s exactly what they did—they’ve been arriving in droves and from many countries—not just Central American ones. Biden ordered those caught to be released. Kamala concurred. That is, she did before she became Vice Resident. Now she’s changed her tune and weakly asked them all not to come.
Trump was adamant about closing our southern border. He began construction on walls. Ice and the Border Patrol were allowed to do their jobs. Trump sent out a strong message and the flow of ‘migrants’ dwindled.
Kamala made a half-hearted attempt to visit the border, but all she did was visit El Paso. In reality it’s most likely she wants to keep the borders open. She and Joe know the illegal newcomers will most likely illegally vote for Democrats. The Socialist Democrats may be in for surprise though. Many Mexican Americans side with Trump because he represents law and order. Latinos have strong family and religious values. They could be voting Republican in the mid-terms. They know an open border invites crime including child abuse, women getting raped, and a giant influx of drugs and crime. Americans, regardless of ethnicity, don’t want that.
This bipartisan deal on new infrastructure spending that President Biden has reached this week with a group of “moderate” Democrats and “liberal” Republicans in the Senate represents a significant departure with respect to the Internal Revenue Service. Hidden within the claimed “infrastructure bill” you find $40 billion to beef up the IRS to hunt down everyone they can once again. The Biden White House is out to attack not the super-rich because they have everything in foundations and trusts which are tax-exempt. They will be targeting small businesses and harass them further if they survived the lockdowns. Those that did not will be investigated for fraud.
The budget of the IRS was reduced because they were abusing their power back in 2010. The IRS has seen its budget shrink by one-fifth between 2010 and 2018. It was not just Obama targeting the Tea Party. It was Republicans which included John McCain – the same guy who handed Comey Hillary’s fake dossier on Trump.
Perhaps you will recall Lois Lernerwho was the IRS former executive who was at the heart of a scandal involving the deliberate targeting of political opponents of the Obama administration. The DOJ waited for almost two years to dispose of this case quietly with never a prosecution even after Lerner herself apologized for targeting Tea Party groups. Those in government service who violate the law which is for the benefit of the government are NEVER prosecuted for their crimes.
Today, we have five “moderate” Republican senators who have unleashed the IRS once again to resume its biased political attacks of targeting people for tax evasion. These Republicans have signed off on the deal but they have betrayed their own party for allowing this to be covered up. The investigative news outlet ProPublica published a story based on a vast trove of leaked confidential tax data for the richest Americans. The IRS is at it again.
This is why the Founding Fathers prohibited direct taxation which Congress repealed in 1913. Once you have direct taxation, they can bankrupt anyone by simply launching a massive tax investigation and your legal bills will go through the roof and they are doing it simply for political purposes. This is why I have been in favor of REPEALING the income tax and replace it with an indirect tax such as a national sales tax. They used the tax code to imprison Al Capone.
The government prosecutors wanted Al Capone the same as people who want to hunt or fish and score a big one. They targeted Capone for everything and anything. Capone and his bodyguard were arrested in Philadelphia for carrying concealed deadly weapons and within less than one day they were sentenced to one year in prison without a public trial. Capone was released on March 17, 1930. Then on February 28, 1931, Capone was found guilty in federal court on a contempt of court charge and was sentenced to six months in Cook County Jail. His appeal was of course dismissed. There is no power more abused than the contempt of court charge where the person who accuses you then judges and sentences you without any independent observation.
The Department of Justice prosecutors, unable to bring a criminal case, called in the U.S. Treasury Department which developed a case for tax evasion. They used taxes to go after all the mobsters because they could not find any other evidence to prosecute them on. Therefore, they used tax evasion against Al Capone, his brother Ralph “Bottles” Capone, Jake “Greasy Thumb” Guzik, Frank Nitti, and other mobsters. Finally, on June 16, 1931, Al Capone was charged and pled guilty to tax evasion and prohibition charges based upon a deal for a two-and-a-half-year sentence.
However, the same presiding judge who sentenced Capone for contempt, James Herbert Wilkerson (1869–1948), informed Capone he was not bound by any such deal. Capone then changed his plea to not guilty. Wilkerson was not about to let Capone off easy despite the fact they could not charge him with a serious crime. The prohibition was repealed by FDR 2 years later. On October 18, 1931, Capone was convicted after a mock trial, and on November 24, Judge Wilkerson sentenced him to eleven years in federal prison, fined $50,000, and charged $7,692 for court costs, in addition to $215,000 plus interest due on back taxes. The six-month contempt of court sentence was at least served concurrently. Wilkerson hated Capone and made the case abuse of process carried out by a biased judge.
Capone was confined to the Cook County Jail and of course a political case of this nature had all appeals denied. Capone entered the U.S. Penitentiary in Atlanta, serving his sentence there, and was then transferred to the infamous Alcatraz. It was alleged that Capone was denied medical treatment which is really on par for high-profile cases. On November 16, 1939, Al Capone was released after having served seven years, six months, and fifteen days, and having paid all fines and back taxes. His health deteriorated greatly during his confinement. Immediately on release, Capone entered a Baltimore hospital for brain treatment. He was released and moved to his Florida home, an estate on Palm Island in Biscayne Bay near Miami. He never recovered and died with his family due to a stroke and pneumonia on January 25, 1947. Such is the fate of high-profile cases in America.
If it were not for the INCOME TAX, Al Capone would never have gone to prison. Even Prohibition was a failed experiment that actually made the Mafia. The Mafia was respected among the Italian community because they would even counterfeit food ratios during World War I to ensure the community was fed and did not starve.
It was making liquor illegal that created a profitable opportunity for the Mafia which in the United States was entirely different from that in Sicily. Indeed, in Sicily, the term “mafioso” had no criminal connotations and was used to refer to a person who was suspicious of central authority – an anti-government faction. During the 19th century, some of these groups emerged as private armies to protect the people from the government. This evolved where some began to extorted protection money from landowners to protect them from the corrupt government. Eventually, some factions became violent criminal organizations which turning the original protection into a means to extort money which then began the Sicilian Mafia. The American Mafia, however, did not rise to power until the prohibition and they too began as an admired protector of the people.
I find it really amazing how these Democrats constantly preach fairness, equality and the rich are the blame for everything, yet people like Dianne Feinstein have just listed her $41M Lake Tahoe estate for sale. Their spouse is always extraordinarily lucky in deals that somehow connect back to political favors. Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s husband was named in the College Admissions Scandal. Her husband, Richard Blum, benefited from being involved with a company to sell United States Postal Service property. The company, CBRE Group, won a contract to sell postal facilities. Blum is its board chairman and owns an investment firm that holds an interest in its stock. The question has always been; did he get inside information and preferential treatment in what they called a competitive bid. In the real world, when my son was in college and getting just a summer job at a brokerage firm to learn the business, the entire family had to reveal what stocks they owned right down to my mother just to get a summer job. Politician’s families never reveal anything of that nature.
DianneDinane herself was employing a Chinese spy. There is never any accountability and nobody ever asks, how in the world do politicians have such wealth and they never worked in the private sector?

There has been a lot of discussion today about an Atlantic article [SEE HERE] containing an outline of former AG Bill Barr’s discussion with reporters and the White House in the aftermath of the 2020 election. In essence the nub of the article is Bill Barr stating to a journalist December 1st: ” To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election,” and then the article covers the fallout with the White House from that AP interview.
AG Barr called Michael Balsamo to his office in Main Justice to make the statement over lunch:
ATLANTIC – […] Balsamo’s story appeared on the AP newswire shortly after lunch ended: “Disputing Donald Trump’s persistent baseless claims, Attorney General William Barr declared Tuesday the U.S. Justice Department had uncovered no evidence of widespread voter fraud that could change the outcome of the 2020 election.”
The story blew a hole in the president’s claims. Nobody seriously questioned Barr’s conservative credentials or whether he had been among Trump’s most loyal cabinet secretaries. His conclusion sent a definitive message that the effort to overturn the election was without merit. (read more)
That last paragraph perfectly encapsulates the entire purpose for AG Bill Barr to be in place since February of 2019. To present the image of a loyal cabinet secretary so that no-one could/would question his conservative credentials. That purpose was exactly what CTH presented upon the nomination and confirmation of Bill Barr. His job was to be the bondo that covered the rot in DC and gave the illusion of a healthy functioning justice department. We called it “Bondo Barr“.
There is a specific irony of Bill Barr using Wayne County, Michigan, as “no evidence” of ballot fraud while simultaneously admitting no other area other than Wayne county has voting precincts that do not count ballots. Only in Wayne county do the 662 precincts deliver ballots to a central counting facility. The Wayne County process itself is designed specifically to make ballot fraud easier…. The former AG says move along, move along, nothing to see here… “that’s what they do.”
The timing of this article release to coincide with the DOJ challenging election reforms in Georgia, combined with the Arizona audit finishing up their initial hand recount and verification of ballots, does not seem coincidental.
As most CTH readers are aware the legislative, executive and judicial narrative engineers work in coordination with their media conscripts and at the behest of the intelligence apparatus. In the private sector the BlackRock and Vanguard multinationals, and the CoC Wall Street, money builds the bridge to deliver the finished outcome.
Under this process the U.S. government is functioning exactly as it was designed when it was “fundamentally transformed”; the corrupt outcomes are a feature, not a flaw.
Rather than use this article to once again draw attention to the corrupt intents and purposes of Bill Barr as the professional bondo applier, it is worth taking a pause to think carefully about another angle. Think about all those voices, specifically pundits in media, who stood up to say Bill Barr is a man of integrity and will be the person to get to the bottom of the ‘spygate‘ corruption issues. Remind yourself of exactly who those voices were…. Then recognize the intent of that drumbeat.
That list would include: Trey Gowdy, Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Jonah Goldberg, Kevin McCarthy, Marco Rubio, Sean Hannity, Sara Carter, John Solomon, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, Johnathan Turley, Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing etc. etc.
Days after his confirmation in 2019 CTH noted something was sketchy about Bill Barr because of a very simple and common sense issue – everyone in/around DC knew Robert Mueller was in place to cover-up the corrupt DOJ and FBI activity and keep attacking the office of President Trump. Not a single person in DC did not know this intention of the special counsel. They never talked about it publicly, but every person in every office and every agency in DC knew Mueller’s purpose.
In the first few weeks after his confirmation AG Bill Barr spent an extreme amount of time praising Robert Mueller for his work as special counsel and vouching for his integrity. That continued praise for Mueller and Barr also heaping effusive praise on FBI Director Chris Wray, was when CTH accepted the brutally obvious, Bill Barr’s job was to apply Bondo to cover the rot.
“Every day we spend outraged about what the DOJ and FBI did in 2016 and 2017, is one less day that AG Bill Barr is not being held accountable for all of this current DOJ and FBI corruption that stares him in the face when he brushes his teeth each morning.” ~ CTH, 2019
Barr played that outrage distraction game perfectly…

Thousands of people descended on London’s Hyde Park on Saturday afternoon in the latest round of protests against Covid lockdown measures. The crowds marched through Oxford Street before gathering at Hyde Park while holding banners, placards and flags. The crowds of protesters (bottom left and bottom centre) marched through Oxford Street, Regent Street, Hyde Park and Northumberland Avenue as they held placards reading ‘freedom is not for trade’, ‘no to Covid vaccine’ and ‘no to the Covid passport’.
Demonstrators also made their way to Downing Street, with crowds setting off flares and chanting loudly with people heard shouting “shame on you” and pointing towards Number 10, followed by prolonged booing. Shirley Jones, a librarian from Crystal Palace, said: “I’d rather be doing something else with my weekend but I’m going to keep coming on these protests because I don’t trust what the Government is doing.
