Ingratiating Politics


Posted originally on the CTH on January 3, 2025 | Sundance 

Folks, I know this is not a popular opinion, but I have always promised to call them exactly as the data aligns and as I see them unfolding.

Taking a position in support of Tommy Robinson, taking a strong position against Muslim rape gangs in the U.K., and taking a position in favor of Nigel Farage are not controversial positions in the world of MAGA.  In fact, they are popular positions widely held by all of us.  However, those positions have little bearing on OUR set of challenges in the USA.

[READ THIS]

For almost two years, there has been a background conversation with a handful of people watching the Silicon Valley network closely and monitoring every move and position they take.  They hold an entirely divergent set of motives that are not aligned with Making America Great Again behind this crew.

I’m simply saying for everyone to keep their eyes wide open, review THAT ARTICLE I just linked above and put it in the context of the issues and discussions we have had on these pages.  Remember, there are literally trillions at stake, and we have been duped too many times. The issues and the stakes in our nation are just too important.

The concern we have is about the “surveillance state” and the creations of the Silicon Valley tech bros that are building out tools that can easily be weaponized as the contracts with the U.S government are fulfilled.  President Trump will not weaponize them, but the existing tools and the DHS track and trace enhancements being built by the tech team are threats to liberty.

Real ID connected to facial recognition, connected to personage, a digital identity and/or a track and trace capability is ultimately an assembled tech tool for control.  Politically Exposed Persons are the most vulnerable.

Those who follow the deepest weeds of their constructs know that billionaire Elon Musk’s ability to have a public influence platform would not exist without the full support of billionaire Larry Ellison.  They are absolute partners, mentor and protegee. The part that people are having a hard time accepting is the end goal, the motive behind that Ellison support.

My opinion is today the same as it was when the situation first started to surface.  Think of how the Sea Island group positioned Ron DeSantis for his MAGA challenge in 2024.  That was a long-term plan that started years before DeSantis entered the primary.  DeSantis took positions that were highly favored by President Trump supporters, and his network constructed an image that was intentional to ingratiate himself within the movement.

What we have researched with Elon Musk carries many of the same background datapoints and nuance.  Musk takes popular positions to cover for some very un-MAGA proposals; the H1B issue is just one facet.  Overall, a technological system of surveillance and control by a few tech oligarchs is well underway.

We must keep our eyes wide open, trust our instincts and differentiate between key issues that can impact us and our families, and the issues we support but are not direct impacts on our lives.  We want a big tent; we all want to see success for President Trump and the MAGA agenda, but we cannot achieve our goals if liberty is lost in the process.

The surveillance state diminishes liberty; it needs to be confronted as it surfaces.

Thankfully, President Trump is aware of these concerns.

Justin from Canada Expected to Resign This Week

It’s not just the United States of America standing up and electing President Donald J. Trump.  The nationalist vessels are being identified in many countries right now as each regional nuance and difference is working through a process.

Germany, France, the U.K, Georgia, Romania, El Salvador and Argentina are small examples where the organizing of commonsense people is also navigating through the systems of control.  The voices of the people are rising organically.

In Canada one of the modern WEF globalists is now indicating his exit.  Justin Trudeau is expected to resign.

NY POST – […] Three sources told the Globe and Mail, a Canadian outlet, on Sunday that Trudeau, 53, could reveal he’s leaving as Liberal Party Leader before a critical national caucus meeting on Wednesday.

It was unclear what day he could announce his resignation, but it reportedly could happen as early as Monday, the sources said.

The bombshell report comes as an embattled Trudeau has faced increasing calls for his resignation as a Donald Trump presidency – and the threat of 25% tariffs on all products north of the border – looms large.

The prime minister was struck with a devastating blow after his then-finance minister, Chrystia Freeland, quit last month over a deepening divide between the two over the future of Canada’s economy. (read more)

Justin from Canada has been an unstable boy-child with a speech impediment and an emotionally unstable disposition for a long time.  He personifies the leftist hero for modern feminists.

Intifada Rally in New York Funded by Goldman


Posted originally on Jan 3, 2025 by Martin Armstrong |  

Hundreds of people took to the streets of Manhattan on New Year’s Day to demand an intifada revolution. The Palestinian Youth Movement, the Party for Socialism and Liberation and the People’s Forum forcibly continued the planned “protest” in the wake of two potential terrorist attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas. Why are we permitting pro-terrorist groups to take to the streets?

Free speech is one thing, but directly calling for violence on behalf of foreign nations is not permitted. If a right-wing organization held a “protest” of this nature, the media would swarm it bees to honey and deem it as extremist terrorism. Why is this (D)ifferent?

Aside from the obvious, we must look at who is funding the civil unrest. The Goldman Sachs Philanthropy Fund provided the Palestinian Youth Movement, the Party for Socialism and Liberation and the People’s Forum with $18 million in recent years. The group has a strong base at Columbia University and is responsible for numerous anti-Israel protests. People’s Forum co-executive director Manolo De Los Santos has called for the need to make “untenable for the politics of usual to take place in this country” and called for the university encampments to remain open as long as possible. He openly criticizes the Zionist rulers of Columbia University, and the group often holds pro-Marxist discussions to stir up unrest.

Protest.CivilUnrest.Palestine.TENTS_.greentent

The People’s Forum reached out to  U.S Senate Finance Committee chairman Ron Wyden (D., Ore.) and Ranking Member Mike Crapo (R., Idaho) to block the passage of H.R.6408 /S.4136 that would remove funded from any non-profits deemed to be terrorist organizations, claiming its origins were promoted by “anti-Palestinian bias.” The bill has yet to pass.

Goldman has been funding this organization for years. In 2018, they provided the group with $4,400,000 in funding after granting them $2,500,000 the year prior. The Chinese Communist Party has also been supporting this organization, but claims of foreign interference are silent. The New York Times reported that the People’s Forum is also funded by Neville Roy Singham, who has been linked to the Chinese Communist Party and its propaganda efforts.

“We will be here every single year for generation after generation until total liberation and return,” protesters shouted. America is being attacked from within. Foreign agencies have preyed upon the vulnerable youth and convinced them to march against their own country. There is a GLOBAL EFFORT to heighten civil unrest as other major cities also witnessed similar “protests.” The endgame is a push toward their dream of a Marxist utopia that requires toppling society as we know it.

Slovakia v Ukraine and the EU on Energy


Posted originally on Jan 3, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

Slovakia Parliament

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has nearly accepted that his country will be forced to pay an additional €500 million for energy due to Ukraine’s refusal to renew the Russian gas transit treaty. Zelensky believes Fico is Putin’s puppet, but the man is simply looking for a way to provide his people energy. Tensions are worsening between Zelensky and Fico, and now, Fico is threatening to cut aid to Ukraine.

“On behalf of Smer (the ruling party), I announce that we are ready to negotiate and agree in a coalition to cut off electricity supplies and significantly reduce support for Ukrainian citizens staying in the territory of the Slovak Republic,” Fico noted a day after the existing transit treaty expired.

Leaders from Ukraine, Slovakia, and the unelected leaders of the European Union will meet next week to determine the proper steps which likely means they will find a way to pressure Slovakia to continue aiding Ukraine without compromise.

Zelensky with EU leaders

Fico threatened to cut off energy supplies to Ukraine, but Zelensky basically stated he knew that he would be overpowered by the EU and prevented from doing so. “Any arbitrary decisions in Bratislava or instructions from Moscow to Fico regarding electricity will not lead to a halt in electricity imports to Ukraine,” Zelensky said, adding: “Slovakia is part of the unified European energy market, and Fico must abide by pan-European regulations.” Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry chimed in to say that Slovakia would stand to lose hundreds of millions annually if they stopped selling to Ukraine. “Slovakia’s supply of critical amounts of electricity to Ukraine is not charity: Ukraine pays Slovakia a significant amount for it,” the ministry stated.

Moscow is not strengthened by this gas transit deal and granting transit would show good faith to Slovakia, who has provided Ukraine with millions in assistance since the war began. The underlying issue is that Fico wishes to remain neutral in this war. The European Union wants every member state to fear Russia and prepare for an escalation of warfare. The unelected officials at Brussels consistently undermine their own member states and it is only a matter of time before members wake up and realize that this alliance is working against them.

Blinken Interfering Romanian Elections

Romania Blinken

The American NEOCONS are interfering in elections, as always. Blinken ran off to Romania like Biden in Ukraine in July 2014, all to overturn the election in Romania, where the people voted against the war, and Blinken insisted Russia hacked the election. This guy will not be satisfied until he drenches Europe in the blood of centuries. Similar arguments are being tried in Germany because the people are turning to the afD.

Romanian Leu Spot Y 12 2025

With Romania listening to Blinken, it appears they will be at war by 2026 when it all starts. Romania, as we know it, will most likely see a dramatic change in government by 2031, which is about 19 intervals of 8.6 years from its inception. As you can see, the US dollar will rise sharply as a consequence of war. This will not benefit the people of Romania.

saddam_hussein_hanging

These NEOCONS will not give up. They are out for World War III and have full control of NATO. They still intend to bring on World War III and will use Article 5 to try to force Trump to send American troops to kill Russians. This will NOT end well for the West. These people have LOST every single war they have lied to create. They have NEVER won a single battle. These are the real traitors who should be sentenced to hang as they did to Saddam Hussain for weapons of mass destruction that never existed.

Retail Closures in US Hit Pandemic Levels

StoreClosuresRetail

Over 6,481 retailers have closed their doors since the beginning of the new year, according to data from Coresight Research in November, but that figure is expected to reach 7,327, marking a 57.8% increase in closures since 2023.

During the pandemic, closures exceeded openings by 180 stores in 2020, with the gap widening in 2021 to 6,000 retailers. There were 5,919 store openings in 2023, barely easing the burden. While online shopping has nulled the need for many brick and mortars, the types of retailers that experienced the steepest declines are telling.

Nothing at the dollar store costs a dollar. That changed years ago during the pandemic, thanks to tariffs and supply chain issues. Retailers had to mark up these cheap goods to make a meager profit. As a result, Family Dollar shut their door to 677 locations and 99 Cents Only stores shed 371. Big Lots, also known for selling discounted items, has been forced to close 580 locations, although the bankruptcy played a larger role.

Rite Aid also experienced bankruptcy in 2024, closing 408 locations. Pharmacies, in general, took a major hit this past year. Walgreens plans to close 1,200 locations over the next three years and lost 259 locations in 259. CVS closed 586 locations as well. The convenience of picking up items while at the pharmacy does not overshadow the need for a discount. People are not willing to pay more for essentials at the pharmacy when they can receive them for a discounted price elsewhere. The same goes for convenience stores like 7-Eleven which shed 492 locations in 2024 with plans to close another 400 worldwide.

Another major contributing factor is the workforce – people do not want to work low-wage jobs that do not support their cost of living. Enter any pharmacy or low-end store, and you will find a severe shortage of workers. One pharmacy by me that is part of a major chain is only open two days a week because they simply do not have the staff to keep it operating.

There is a reason that retail closures are at their highest level since the pandemic. Americans are spending more on less and their spending habits are shifting from convenience to practicality.

Both Truck Attackers in New Orleans and Las Vegas Were Former U.S. Army Servicemen


JPosted originally on the CTH on anuary 2, 2025 | Sundance

Despite the FBI saying there are no connections between the New Orleans terrorist attack and the Las Vegas attack at Trump hotel, alarming connections continue to be made by the public between both the New Orleans attack using a truck which killed 15 people, and the Las Vegas attack using a truck that was unsuccessful (except in killing the driver).

NEW ORLEANS – Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the 42-year-old Texas man accused of crashing a truck into New Year’s Day revelers in New Orleans, killing 15 and injuring dozens of people, served in the U.S. Army for 13 years including a deployment to Afghanistan, the Army said. (read more)

LAS VEGAS – According to senior law enforcement sources, 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger was the driver and had several Colorado Springs addresses associated with him. […] “Master Sgt. Matthew Alan Livelsberger enlisted as an 18X and served in the active duty Army from January 2006 to March 2011. Livelsberger then joined the National Guard from March 2011 to July 2012, followed by the Army Reserve from July 2012 to December 2012. He entered the active duty Army in December 2012 and was a U.S. Army Special Operations Soldier.”  “Additionally, U.S. Army Special Operations Command can confirm Livelsberger was assigned to the command and on approved leave at the time of his death.

According to early media reporting, Matt Livelsberger, aka Matt Berger, was on duty station in Germany and on leave at the time of his death in Las Vegas.  His wife was reportedly unaware of his location.  After the Tesla Truck Explosion in Las Vegas, officials are saying that they found a Military Identification, Desert Eagle pistol, an SLR B-30 AR Pattern Rifle, an IPhone, and a Smart watch all in Matthew Livelsberger’s name. Also, Livelsberger had sustained one gunshot wound to the head.

From Paul Sperry: “Federal records reveal the anti-Trump ex-wife of suspect who detonated a Cybertruck bomb outside the Trump Hotel in Vegas donated cash to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) around the same time as the Bourbon Street terrorist’s donation to the DCCC.” (link)

[SOURCE]

Both attacks happened within hours of each other on the same day.  Both attacks were carried out by U.S. Army servicemembers.  Both Army Vets attended Fort Bragg (Fort Liberty) at the same time.  Both attacks used EV trucks (F150 EV and Tesla Cyber Truck).  Both trucks were rented with the same app Turo. Both attacks had similar IED explosives as part of the attack.  The FBI claim there is no connection.

Coincidentally a U.S Army Soldier was recently arrested [PDF HERE] for hacking the phone data of President Donald Trump:

US Army soldier who allegedly stole Trump’s AT&T call logs arrested – A US Army soldier has been arrested in Texas after being indicted on two counts of unlawful transfer of confidential phone records information.

While the indictment [PDF] doesn’t specify any hacking activity or victims’ names, Cameron John Wagenius, 20, is suspected of being a cybercriminal known as Kiberphant0m, who claimed to have breached at least 15 telecommunications firms including AT&T and Verizon, according to KrebsOnSecurity.

Wagenius is allegedly an associate of Connor Riley Moucka, one of the men accused of compromising multiple organizations’ Snowflake-hosted environments, stealing sensitive customer data housed in the cloud storage service, and then extorting victims for millions of dollars.

Infosec journalist Brian Krebs spoke with Wagenius’ mother, Alicia Roen, who said her son worked on radio signals and network communications at an Army base in South Korea.

[…] On November 6, shortly after Moucka’s arrest, Kiberphant0m bragged on BreachForums about stealing AT&T call logs for President-elect Donald Trump and for Vice President Kamala Harris. The crook threatened to leak all of the call logs unless AT&T contacted either Kiberphant0m or Reddinton, and signed the post “#FREEWAIFU.”

The identity of Reddinton remains unknown.

According to the court documents, on or about November 6, Wagenius did “knowingly and intentionally sell and transfer, and attempt to sell and transfer, confidential phone records information of a covered entity, without prior authorization from the customer to whom such confidential phone records information was obtained fraudulently.”

Wagenius appeared in a Texas court on December 20, and federal prosecutors requested his extradition to Washington state (more)

With Louisiana as the home state of Speaker Mike Johnson, and with the Cyber Truck (Musk) being used to attack a President Trump property, the obvious concern about political attacks in advance of President Trump’s second term are obvious. (Except, apparently, to the FBI)

The fact that U.S. Army personnel are involved, and specifically from Fort Bragg which was the base identified as visited by former assassin Ryan Routh, makes the concerns all the more alarming.

PRESIDENT TRUMP – “Our Country is a disaster, a laughing stock all over the World! This is what happens when you have OPEN BORDERS, with weak, ineffective, and virtually nonexistent leadership. The DOJ, FBI, and Democrat state and local prosecutors have not done their job. They are incompetent and corrupt, having spent all of their waking hours unlawfully attacking their political opponent, ME, rather than focusing on protecting Americans from the outside and inside violent SCUM that has infiltrated all aspects of our government, and our Nation itself. Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happen to our Country. The CIA must get involved, NOW, before it is too late. The USA is breaking down – A violent erosion of Safety, National Security, and Democracy is taking place all across our Nation. Only strength and powerful leadership will stop it. See you on January 20th. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” (read more)

PRESIDENT TRUMP – […] “With the Biden “Open Border’s Policy” I said, many times during Rallies, and elsewhere, that Radical Islamic Terrorism, and other forms of violent crime, will become so bad in America that it will become hard to even imagine or believe. That time has come, only worse than ever imagined. Joe Biden is the WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICA, A COMPLETE AND TOTAL DISASTER. What he and his group of Election Interfering “thugs” have done to our Country will not soon be forgotten! MAGA” (LINK)
