Blinken Interfering Romanian Elections


Posted originally on Jan 3, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

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.

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.

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)

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)

Tesla Cyber Truck that Exploded in Front of Trump Hotel in Las Vegas Linked to Truck Used in New Orleans Terror Attack


Posted originally on the CTH on January 1, 2025 | Sundance

The messaging within the attack in Las Vegas is very clear.  A Tesla Cyber Truck (Elon Musk) was used to attack the Trump Hotel.  Obviously, a targeted attack messaging the incoming presidency of Donald J Trump.  Meanwhile, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson is from Louisiana, the location of the earlier attack.

The attack in Las Vegas is now linked to the early morning terrorist attack in New Orleans where a truck, also loaded with improvised explosive materials and devices ran into a crowd celebrating the New Year, killing 15.  Both the Tesla Cyber Truck and the pickup truck in New Orleans were rented through the app Turo.

[…] “I’m being told that New Orleans was rented through Turo, and so was ours,” Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill said in a press conference. “That’s another coincidence that absolutely is continuing to bear from our investigation that we have to continue to look into.”

Turo is a car-sharing app that lets private car owners rent out their vehicles. It is similar to Airbnb or Vrbo but for vehicles instead of homes. (more)

.

The FBI is investigating the New Orleans, Burbon Street attack as an act of terrorism and said it does not believe the driver acted alone.  The driver was killed during a shootout with police.

The FBI identified the attacker in New Orleans as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Texas who served in the U.S. Army. Investigators found multiple improvised explosives, including two pipe bombs that were concealed within coolers and wired for remote detonation, according to a Louisiana State Police intelligence bulletin obtained by The Associated Press.

[…] A photo circulated among law enforcement officials showed a bearded Jabbar wearing camouflage next to the truck after he was killed. The intelligence bulletin obtained by the AP said he was wearing a ballistic vest and helmet. The flag of the Islamic State group was on the truck’s trailer hitch, the FBI said. (read more)

NATO & Invoking Article 5


Posted originally on Dec 31, 2024 by Martin Armstrong 

NATO Article 5

COMMENT: Martin,

I must admit, I have never read NATO article 5 until this morning while reading your post from yesterday.

Looking at the actual wording, it seems to me that the whole article revolves around one little word, namely “it”.  In this case, it refers to each NATO member nation in the case of an attack on any other member nation.  To summarize:

“…each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence…will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking…such action as IT deems necessary…”

Thus, each member nation is neither bound nor sworn to join into any attack, but only bound to take whatever action it feels necessary.

For example, a member nation could limit its support to humanitarian aid.  Furthermore, if a member nation believes any NATO nation provoked the attack, or believed the attack was a false flag, then the member nation could “deem” that no action was necessary at all except to discuss terms of peace.

You certainly have more experience in the law, but am I mistaken here?

Tehran Iran 2
NATO Article 5 2001

REPLY: That is very correct. Trump would not be bound to join WWIII. That is why they are scheming to try to delay his inauguration so they can invoke Article 5. Just for the record, the last time Article 5 was invoked was 911 to justify invading Iraq, which had nothing to do with 911 and never had weapons of mass destruction. It was Dick Cheney who schemed to invade Iraq, and then they intended to go right into Tehran.

It was Dick Cheney who crafted the intelligence, and to cover his ass, he invoked Article 5 to start his war, which was, I believe, to conquer the Middle East. The US pitched it in October 2001, and as this article quotes, they provided “clear and compelling” evidence. Everything presented to justify this quest to conquer the Middle East was a lie, as always. They are preparing the very same strategy to conquer Russia and divide the spoils of the wealthiest nation on earth in terms of natural resources.

They have lied to start every single war because they get to expand the government and line their pockets. They have no remorse for the people who die in these actions. These people who constantly push for war are Psychopaths and are classified as people with little or no conscience but can follow social conventions when it suits their needs. They are far more dangerous than a mere Sociopath who cannot feel empathy and remorse but possesses merely antisocial personality disorder (APD) rather than a deliberate and conniving Psychopath.

Here is Lyndsey Grachm for once telling the truth. This is not about democracy, and nobody cares if any Ukrainians remain. This is about strip-ming Russian assets. They will invoke Article 5, and the main country NATO is pushing to be the attack-dog is Poland.

Ukraine to Starve Hungary and Slovakia of Russian Oil


Posted originally on Dec 31, 2024 by Martin Armstrong 

Fico Robert Slovakian PM

The European Union would prefer to cut off Slovakia and Hungary from accessing energy than to “cave” to Russia. Prime Minister Robert Fico of Slovakia paid a visit to Russian President Vladamir Putin to discuss the matter as tensions between EU nations heat up over the energy scandal.

Hungary and Slovakia are exempt from the EU ban on Russian crude oil. These landlocked neighbors are to receive oil through the Druzhba pipeline, but Ukraine has prevented these nations from receiving shipments. Lukoil may be the main supplier using this line, but Russneft, Tatneft, and Gazprom also utilize this line, leading Ukraine to intervene. Hungary was blocking aid to Ukraine as a result, but Brussels repeatedly told Hungary that it was wrong. Slovakia would like to continue receiving Russian gas through Ukraine, noting that alternative routes would cost over 500 million euros in additional fees. Yet, the EU and Ukraine would prefer to starve these nations of energy than to permit them to use Russian oil.

Crude Oil Production

Russian gas composed 40% of the EU’s supply, down to only 10% as of 2023. Slovakia and Hungary, however, rely more heavily on imported gas from Russia. “Slovakia is part of the single European energy market and Fico must respect common European rules,” Zelensky stated, claiming that Putin gave Fico the orders to “open a second energy front” against Ukraine.

Fico has threatened to cut off emergency power supplies to Ukraine if they blocked their ability to access Russian energy. The current standing transit deal is due to expire, and Zelensky does not care if other nations suffer as a result. Zelensky said he will not renew the contract or work with Moscow in any capacity. Brussels also does not care, which is precisely why the EU is beginning to crack.

Why should Slovakia continue sending endless aid to Ukraine when Zelensky is causing its people to suffer needlessly? Zelensky is not a diplomat but a dictator, as are the unelected officials in Brussels. Fico offered to aid in peace talks, but of course, he logically knows that is not an option. This single issue is causing EU nations to break with Brussels in favor of Moscow, as Putin now appears to be the only reasonable leader with their interests in mind.

Reached During Biden’s Exit – President Trump Tells Congress to Act Now


Posted originally on the CTH on December 30, 2024 | Sundance

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has announced the U.S. debt ceiling is likely to be reached mid-January, while Joe Biden is still in office.  President Trump tells congress to deal with the issue now.

First, here’s Secretary Yellen:

WASHINGTON, Dec 27 (Reuters) – The U.S. Treasury Department may need to take “extraordinary measures” by as early as Jan. 14 to prevent the United States from defaulting on its debt, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told lawmakers in a letter on Friday.

Yellen urged lawmakers in the U.S. Congress to act “to protect the full faith and credit of the United States.”

U.S. debt is expected to decrease by about $54 billion on Jan. 2 “due to a scheduled redemption of nonmarketable securities held by a federal trust fund associated with Medicare payments,” she added.

She said: “Treasury currently expects to reach the new limit between January 14 and January 23, at which time it will be necessary for Treasury to start taking extraordinary measures.”

Under a 2023 budget deal, Congress suspended the debt ceiling until Jan. 1, 2025. The U.S. Treasury will be able to pay its bills for several more months, but Congress will have to address the issue at some point next year. (more)

The Biden spending is already baked into the proverbial cake. Congress will have to raise the debt ceiling limit and President Trump is urging them to do it now, before he takes office.

[SOURCE]

Specifically, because 38 republicans voted against the 2nd continuing resolution earlier this month, President Trump will face this debt ceiling mess on day one if it is not addressed before. They republicans knew this reality when they voted no.

Now President Trump is trying to avoid a potential mess early in his administration. No amount of spending cuts are going to stop the previously authorized spending. We are still going to hit the debt ceiling regardless of action from within the House to downsize government. Congress can freeze all spending, and we will still hit the debt ceiling.

It certainly looks like a crew of House republicans knew this would hamstring President Trump, and measures to avoid default are going to be needed.
