Sometimes if you don’t laugh at the absurdity of it all, you’ll explode the blood pressure cuff from sheer annoyance. Yes, the entire world can see the absurdity of the Biden administration – even if the professional left have to pretend like they cannot see it.
In this interview Mark Steyn accurately outlines the incredible stupidity of it all, and how the compliant media make a mockery of themselves as clapping seals sitting in grand obedience before the naked emperor while they swear an ability to see his beautiful and magnanimous clothing.
I get emails from friends in Britain who envy the US, saying if they had the right to have guns, they would be protecting their liberty. The Biden Administration has moved to force everyone to register guns. The next step is to just bust into your house and confiscate them. They are taking these steps in an incremental fashion to disarm America. Their designs are to impose the Great Reset, as we are watching in Europe with outrageous fines if you dare leave the country and 10 years in prison for lying about where you have been. Britain is no longer a free country.
The West is becoming authoritarian, unfortunately, precisely as our computer has been forecasting for years. This is why the government and its surrogates pretending to be real analysts are so intent upon preventing people from ever listening to Socrates. They hate the fact that our computer has been accurately projecting what they would do next simply based upon the economics and past incidents as to how people respond.
Now the Biden Administration is arguing in the U.S. Supreme Court in Caniglia v. Strom that the government should be allowed to enter or bust into your home and confiscate your guns without ever having to get a search warrant. That means that they can come into EVERY home and search for guns. In the meantime, anything else they would find that violates any law will be used to prosecute you. The Biden Administration and attorneys general from nine Democratic-controlled states are now urging the Supreme Court to uphold warrantless gun confiscation. That will effectively eliminate the Fourth Amendment while they are really undermining the Second Amendment. They need to disarm Americans because they know a revolution is coming.
The Supreme Court has already eliminated the Fourth Amendment, which allows the government to openly violate that restraint. In 1984, the United States Supreme Court nullified the Fourth Amendment for political reasons, which does not bode well for the future of the United States.
Nix v. Williams, 467 U.S. 431 (1984), focused on the disappearance of a 10-year-old white girl in Des Moines, Iowa. The defendant, who was black and had mental problems, was arrested and arraigned in Davenport, Iowa. Officers informed the defendant’s attorney that they would drive him back to Des Moines without questioning him, but during the trip one of the officers began a conversation with him that ultimately resulted in his making incriminating statements and directing the officers to the child’s body. A systematic search of the area that was being conducted with the aid of 200 volunteers and had begun before the defendant made his statements was terminated when he guided the officers to the body. The defendant was convicted of the child’s murder, but his conviction was later reversed by the United States Supreme Court in Brewer v. Williams, 430 U.S. 387 (1977), when the Court ruled that an officer had obtained the statements in violation of the defendant’s Sixth Amendment right to counsel.
They put him on trial again, and the state did not offer the defendant’s statements into evidence, nor did it seek to show that the defendant had directed the officers to the child’s body. However, what they admitted into evidence was the condition of her body when it was found, articles and photos of her clothing, and the results of post-mortem medical and chemical tests on the body. The trial court found that the state had proven by a preponderance of the evidence, rather than proof beyond a reasonable doubt, that if the search had not been suspended and the defendant had not led the officers to the victim, her body would have been discovered within a short time in essentially the same condition as it was actually found.
The defendant was convicted again of the murder of the child. However, a federal appellate court later reversed the conviction, which legally it should have been. That court assumed that there was an inevitable discovery exception to the exclusionary rule, and the exception required proof both that (1) officers did not act in bad faith in committing the constitutional violation, and (2) the evidence involving the child’s body would have been discovered absent a constitutional violation. The court then found that the state failed to show that the officers did not act in bad faith (therefore, it was unnecessary for the court to decide the second issue) and reversed the defendant’s conviction.
The United States Supreme Court granted the same case again because it was way too political — a black man killed a 10-year-old white girl. The Supreme Court reversed that ruling, which should have stood. The police should have simply done their job the right way, but they cheated, and that changed the law for everyone.
The Court noted that although its prior case law on the exclusionary rule involved Fourth Amendment violations, the “fruit of the poisonous tree” doctrine as it was known, the court then stated that the prosecution should not be put in a better position than it would have been if no illegality had occurred. Therefore, the prosecution should not be put in a worse position simply because there was some law enforcement error or misconduct. There and then, the Supreme Court held that when challenged evidence has an independent source had it been properly-obtained, that was enough to show probable cause to support a search warrant after setting aside improperly obtained evidence. Therefore, the exclusion of evidence would put the prosecution in a worse position than they would have been in the absence of a violation.
Today that has been so distorted that police just do as they like and claim if they had acted legally, they would have still obtained the evidence. This case was highly political with the press calling for the blood of this black man who killed a 10-year-old white girl. We can see the same fever-pitch rising now with the aid of the Boulder shooting that everyone with any gun should not require a search warrant for they should just act. There were two dissents, and Justice Marshal aptly put it best that the doctrine they created to make sure this black man did not escape punishment because he was guilty “inconsistent with the requirements of the Constitution.”More correct words were never spoken. Allowing no search warrants and for police to just bust down your door and ransack your house, all they have to say is they thought you had a gun. They can then charge you for anything else they might find that they will claim is illegal.
The American legal system was built upon the British Common Law. What was once noble has perished and the historical recognition that proof BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT exists no more. The American law has twisted the principles to ensure the exact opposite of the maxim which Sir William Blackstone articulated that it is far better than 10 guilty escape than one innocent suffers. About 70% of our prisons today are filled with people on conspiracy charges as the prosecutors simply threaten one person to testify against another without proving actual guilt. The law was once intended to protect the innocent, but those days are long gone. Thus we presume an accused person’s guilt today and the press immediately pronounces them guilty using the word “alleged” and never look at the evidence. There is no innocence until they are proven guilty anymore. If the government charges you, they have a 99% conviction rate with the remainder committing suicide.
The preeminent English jurist William Blackstone and his works were what the framers of the Constitution used to define America. John Adams made similar arguments in defending British soldiers after the Boston Massacre, “[W]e are to look upon it as more beneficial, that many guilty persons should escape unpunished than one innocent person should suffer,” (Alexander Volokh, “n Guilty Men,” University of Pennsylvania Law Review 146 (1997) id/p. 176). This principle is also be found in religious texts and in the writings of the American Founders. Benjamin Franklin went further arguing “it is better a hundred guilty persons should escape than one innocent person should suffer.” (Benjamin Franklin, “Letter from Benjamin Franklin to Benjamin Vaughn (Mar. 14, 1785),” The Works of Benjamin Franklin 11, ed. John Bigelow (1904)).
In Nix v. Williams, the Supreme Court abandoned this cornerstone of law. When I still read Blackstone’s Commentaries, it not only illustrates the cycle within the law and how every principle of liberty has been undermined to ensure that government power is now supreme, but it brings tears to my eyes to think of how much we have really lost over the course of the past 232 years.
Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws of England remains to this day one of my most cherished books. It is a stark reminder of the cycle of civilization itself how we evolved from trial by ordeal where it was assumed if you were innocent God would intervene (walking on hot coals or throwing a suspected which into water), to trial by combat (where we duel it out or later hired people to fight to the death in your stead). The rule of law was supposed to be the pinnacle of civilization. Oh, how it has fallen. It now lies on the grown broken like the limbs of a stupendous statue that are no more even recognizable. To ensure that one black man pay for his crime, they changed the law of the nation and eliminated the Fourth Amendment. Now the Biden Administration is asking to even but aside probably cause.
Then in Segura v. the United States, 468 U.S. 796 (1984), the Supreme Court went even further and held that the exclusionary rule reaches not only primary evidence obtained as a direct result of an illegal search or seizure but also evidence later. Effectively, the Supreme Court has already nullified the Fourth Amendment, and the Biden Administration is asking to kill it altogether. The Democrat’s view is there should be no limitation on government whatsoever. I have warned that their goal is to really eliminate the Constitution, precisely as Klaus Schwab proposes that Democracy should be terminated. This is the end goal. They have already eliminated democracy in Europe where the people have no right to vote for the European Commission or who is even the head of the EU. They vote simply for a Parliament that has no power to overrule the Commission or the head of the EU. It is just there for symbolism. They may bash China in public, but behind closed doors, they envy their political structure.
Those who voted for Biden because they hated Trump, I’m sure you never knew this was their real agenda. To search any house without a warrant means they do not have to show you have gun registration. They only need to say what they thought! Nobody will be safe — even those without guns. Those who voted for Biden have driven a stake right through the heart of what was once liberty.
The Washington Post has been forced, no doubt begrudgingly, a retraction from two months after they published a story that made it sound like Trump was trying to rig the election speaking to an elections investigator in Georgia. The Post reported in January that the then President had spoken to Frances Watson in December, asking her to “find the fraud” in the state and that she would be a “national hero” if she did. The Washington Post has said that the quotes were based on “information provided by a source” which was obviously anti-Trump. Biden had won Georgia by 12,000 votes and the last time any Democrat won that state was Clinton back in 1992. Our models clearly showed that Trump should have won Georgia with 3 out of 4 models confirming that.
A staffer investigating the election fraud in Georgia was killed in an accident that was a fireball and highly unusual. The prosecutor then investigating this accident was found dead shot in the head. There was just no way our model was wrong on Georgia. After the Washington Post ran the story with the fake quote, CNN, ABC News, NBC News, and USA Today all subsequently claimed that they had “confirmed” that the Washington Post’s reporting was true.
Now what is really interesting is that the phone call that was erased from Ms. Watson’s device and was recovered by officials responding to a freedom-of-information request. The quotes that were then attributed to President Trump by an anonymous source were outright lies.
Trump did not tell the investigator to ‘find the fraud’ or say she would be ‘a national hero’ if she did so. Instead, Trump simply told the investigator to audit ballots in Fulton County, stating he believed she would find ‘dishonesty’ there and that she had ‘the most important job in the country right now’.
There is no question that a TON of money was in play to overthrow Trump to push this Great Reset on a global scale. Interestingly, Biden said he would immediately rejoin the UN’s Paris Climate Agreement and he would use the power of the US to force China to comply. China, the world’s top producer of carbon pollution, looms large in any climate discussion because it pledges to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2060. The UN has been pushing itself as a new one-world government over the environment claiming that a single nation cannot solve the problem.
The fraud in the US elections was ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to pushing the World Economic Forum & Klaus Schwab’s agenda. This was not about Trump v Biden. This was an election that was interfered with from international sources combined with domestic. Claims this was China interfering I do not see has solid merit. The real source of funds for all the brides and threats did not come from China. They are desperate to create this Cancel Culture which is the same political agenda used by the Communists during the Russian Revolution.
It seems very curious that now the US Intelligence is pointing the finger at Russia and Iran influencing the 2020 election in their latest report which was declassified and released Tuesday by U.S. intelligence officials. However, to ensure it does not upset Biden, they quickly added that U.S. officials did not find evidence that foreign actors tried to alter “technical” aspects of the voting process, such as voter registration files or vote counting. They merely “spread false or inflated claims about alleged compromises of voting systems to undermine public confidence in election processes and results,” according to their latest questionable report. In truth, what they are trying to do is now claim that Russia engaged in a broad effort to undermine U.S. public confidence in the election. This is really double-talk because the US does the very same thing in all foreign elections. Remember Obama telling the Brits to get to the back of the line if they dared to vote for BREXIT.
This is just part of the latest smoke-screen because the real interference was a direct assault on the election process and that did not involve either Russia or China. Both had everything to lose with a Biden victory for Biden has simply handed power to the United Nations to impose Climate Change agenda with the argument it will take one government to save the planet.
Our models are also warning that the March 2020 COVID Crash was also an attempt to create another economic collapse but far worse than 2007-2009. In that respect, they failed because the smart money smelled endless government debt at artificially deflated interest rates. The high in the PE Ratio took place in 2009 at the bottom of the share market as capital moved to equities fearing both government and banks. Note that as of March 2021, we are retesting the 40:1 level illustrating that capital is once against starting to seek shelter from bonds, banks, and governments.

Mitch McConnell gave an anticipated speech in the Senate today positioning himself against the end of the Senate filibuster. Unfortunately for those who understand how McConnell operates, methinks he doth protest too much.
Let me be perfectly clear… every word in those prepared remarks was/is an act. This is what Mitch McConnell does. CTH has pointed out for several months how McConnell is personally preparing for the end of the filibuster. [Here and Here] He knows it will likely end, because he has seeded the framework for the end of the process. What McConnell is doing now is pure positioning.
The number of McConnell’s specific DeceptiCon caucus no longer running for re-election is a key indicator the McConnell crew know the filibuster is about to end. They are all pre-positioning for that result. Do not think it will not happen, because the odds are the filibuster is about to end.
“Senators Richard Burr (NC), Ron Johnson (WI), Pat Toomey (PA), Rob Portman (OH), and Richard Shelby all previously stated they were not going to seek reelection; Senator Roy Blunt made the same announcement.”
This is not a surprise. McConnell is fully exposed now; people can finally see through his schemes and understand his motives and maneuvers.
As we noted following the election, the business model of selling votes is no longer as lucrative. McConnell and Harry Reid created and then held the UniParty power system as a system for affluence and influence. However, McConnell’s signature legacy item will be his role in eliminating the filibuster and turning the senate into a simple majority system.
In order to give the appearance of his opposition to this move, despite his years of working earnestly toward it, McConnell will exit very soon after the filibuster is eliminated. He will then blame the elimination of the filibuster as the excuse for his departure. This is the Machiavellian way he operates.
WASHINGTON DC – […] Top Democrats, including the two highest-ranking party members in the Senate, have stepped up rhetoric in recent days about the future of the filibuster, a parliamentary custom that requires support from 60 of the chamber’s 100 members to pass most legislation.
The filibuster has long been seen as a mechanism requiring bipartisan consensus that distinguishes the Senate from the House of Representatives, where only a simple majority is needed on legislation. With the current Senate split 50-50, Democrats have said they may need to do away with the filibuster to pass Biden’s priorities, including a House-approved bill intended to facilitate voting in elections.
“This chaos would not open up an express lane to liberal change. It would not open up an express lane for the Biden presidency to speed into the history books. The Senate would be more like a 100-car pileup. Nothing moving,” McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, said on the Senate floor.
“Nobody serving in this chamber can even begin … to imagine what a completely scorched-earth Senate would look like,” he added, saying Republicans would require votes on all parliamentary moves, drastically slowing the pace of business. (read more)
Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen is a classic example of why someone like him will do anything to save his skin. The indictment process is a joke. The prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich. There is no defense allowed and whatever he tells the grand jury is secret. Indictments really do not mean a lot. They will typically be vague enough to ensure the defendant does not really know what the issue is. Cohen has met with the prosecutors 7 times. That is an indication that they are moving to try to indict Trump for a political agenda.
In one of the Mafia cases in New York, one of the defendants subpoenaed his own phone recordings and the prison produced the recordings of the guy who was going to testify against him. There was the same prosecutor telling the witness he needed him to testify in another case against someone else. He told the prosecutor he did not know that person. On the tape, the prosecutor told him “Don’t worry. By the time I am finished, you will know him as your brother.”
The defendant took it to I believe it was Judge Kaplan who refused to consider it and said that was in another case. This is how corrupt the legal system is. There is no justice. New York State Chief Judge Sol Wachtler was famously quoted by Tom Wolfe in The Bonfire of the Vanities that “a grand jury would ‘indict a ham sandwich,’ if that’s what you wanted.”
The bottom line is that the Democrats are working overtime to indict Trump. This is all about trying to stop him in 2024. Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Jr. (D) is pursuing a wide-ranging investigation into Trump’s family business and finances to desperately bring him down for political purposes. His probe is looking into several aspects of Trump’s finances and businesses focusing in particular on his Seven Springs estate in New York. Previous reports have indicated that Vance is looking to find out if the value of the property was inflated in order to reap greater benefits from financial institutions.
Vance is looking to make a big show out of Trump and can’t wait to have him arrested. That would then involve even an extradition charge with Florida who would then review his indictment to see if there is any real validity to it. So this could turn into a real shit-show and Trump better never travel to New York City.
Interestingly, Governor Cuomo was looking to divert money Vance has been pouring out of every crack to indict Trump. There are new discovery requirements in New York that will need $2 million to be provided to prosecutors statewide. Criminal discovery law reforms, which took effect on Jan. 1, require prosecutors to turn over evidence to defendants within 15 days after arraignment and limit cash bail for most non-violent offenses. This was all in response to criticisms that the state has not provided enough money to help district attorneys comply with the new requirements and they have been denying defendants the right to defend.

By now several people have reviewed a Daily Mail article based around a premise, a media hook, that Meghan Markle might be “preparing a bid to become president” and that’s why she did the Oprah Winfrey interview. If you focused on that media hook, you likely missed the lede.
Media stories often contain the fingerprints of motive, a slight truth hidden in a background of obfuscation, and you can find the leftist activity if you know what to look for. The buried lede in the story is this short segment:
[…] “One senior Labour figure – a veteran of Tony Blair’s Downing Street administration with strong links to Washington – claimed to The Mail on Sunday that Ms Markle, 39, was networking among senior Democrats“… (read more)
There it is: “networking among senior Democrats.” That’s the data point to focus on.
That’s the part of the story that tells us exactly what was going on in that Oprah interview; and it is exactly what we suspected it was HERE and HERE.
Of course she was “networking” with “senior Democrats”, specifically she was networking with Obama’s Chicago crew; and that leads to Oprah, Obama’s biggest narrative engineer.
The Markle interview was purposefully orchestrated, racism claims intentionally injected, recorded, and then timed to be released/broadcast the day before the trial against Derek Chauvin while the George Floyd protestors were activated. This is how the Obama crew operate. This is how the leftists work. None of this is accidental and that statement by the “senior Labour figure” is 100% correct…. except for the cover story to hide the motive.
“People who have watched the way the Obama team use pop culture to advance Marxist political objectives have already seen through the ruse of the Meghan Markle comments with Oprah Winfrey. It was not accidental the interview comments about racism were organized, timed and released to coincide with the George Floyd trial in Minnesota. It’s how the cultural Marxists work.
If any group of people can see through to the orchestration of this, it is you, the CTH community. We have researched the Obama use of racism as a political tool for years; that technique includes using media figures like Oprah. The Chicago fingerprints of the familiar architects are clear as day on this ridiculous story.”
“Considering the Oprah angle; and considering Oprah is one of the primary conduits, advance agents and protectors of all things related to President Obama; it would not be surprising to discover that Obama’s team of Chicago provocateurs are in the close-background of the Markle network. Useful division based on advancement of racist accusations is a classic Maoist approach to achieve modern Marxist outcomes.”
Well, there you have it. Today we discover that prior to the interview: “Ms Markle, 39, was networking among senior Democrats.“

On Friday December 4, 2020, a 20-year-old campaign worker for Senator Kelly Loeffler named Harrison Deal was killed in a fiery three car crash on Interstate 16. On Thursday night March 11th, during an explosive interview carried on BEK TV with Doug Billings, Attorney Sidney Powell alleges the crash was not an accident.
When responding to questions about why Bill Barr let us down and did not pursue legal cases/investigations about election fraud Ms. Powell responded: “frankly I think it is something much darker than that”, and then comes the bombshell:
“I do have knowledge of other people being threatened and horribly intimidated by threats and extortion, and even the murder of Kelly Loeffler’s young staffer in Georgia. That was no car accident he was vaporized by whatever the explosion was. Some people who know more about it than I do tell me it had to have been thermite to have triggered such a fireball such as happened in that car.”
WATCH:
This is a stunning allegation from Ms. Powell who goes on to outline some of the current standing issues with the investigations into the election. From the overall interview it appears Sidney Powell is optimistic about ballot fraud eventually being exposed in the 2020 election. A remarkable interview.

The Minneapolis City Council has agreed to give the family of George Floyd $27 million in the largest settlement in the city’s history. The massive civil settlement comes on the heels of congress passing a massive city and state bailout bill under the auspices of COVID. [Statement from Ben Crump HERE]
It is not a stretch to see a situation where Minneapolis is paying out this $27 million settlement because they now have an influx of federal cash to support or replace it.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The city of Minneapolis on Friday agreed to pay $27 million to settle a civil lawsuit from George Floyd’s family over the Black man’s death in police custody, even as jury selection continued in a former officer’s murder trial.
The Minneapolis City Council emerged from closed session to announce the record settlement, which includes $500,000 for the neighborhood where Floyd was arrested. Floyd family attorney Ben Crump called a news conference for 1 p.m. that was to include family members.
Crump, in a prepared statement, said it was the largest pretrial civil rights settlement ever, and “sends a powerful message that Black lives do matter and police brutality against people of color must end.” (read more)

Half of New York’s democrats are now asking Governor Andrew Cuomo to resign following six women stepping forward with details of sexual harassment. However, the New York governor, who is also guilty of killing thousands of elderly residents with his COVID nursing home rules, is defiant in his media statements today.
ALBANY, N.Y. — (AP) — As the Democratic Party turned sharply against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and he faces growing allegations of sexual harassment, he insisted Friday he wouldn’t resign and castigated politicians calling for him to quit as “reckless and dangerous” and engaging in “cancel culture.”
“I did not do what has been alleged. Period,” he said, again calling on the public to let ongoing investigations into his conduct to play out. “Wait for the facts.” “Politicians who don’t know a single fact but yet form a conclusion and an opinion are, in my opinion, reckless and dangerous,” he added.
With a sprawling coalition of congressional leaders joining dozens of state lawmakers in calling for the embattled governor to step down, the Democrat hit back. “You need to know the facts before you make a decision,” he said. “People know the difference between playing politics, bowing to cancel culture and the truth.”
Cuomo’s growing list of detractors now covers virtually every region in the state and the political power centers of New York City and Washington. His allies insist he will not resign, but as allegations of sexual harassment grow, his political isolation has reached unprecedented levels. (read more)

Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill reinstated third-degree murder charges against Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin on the third day of jury selection. The trial now includes a set of charges against Chauvin more favorable to the prosecution who may not be able to prove second-degree murder and/or possibly second-degree manslaughter.
Meanwhile the political activists are using the opportunity of the trial to take control over a portion of the city where even the police will no longer patrol. The leftists have created an autonomous zone, a no-go zone, near the site of the George Floyd memorial.
MINNESOTA – […] Judge Peter Cahill on Thursday granted prosecutors’ motion to reinstate the third-degree murder charge, which would require a lower standard of proof than second-degree. In order to convict Chauvin of second-degree murder, prosecutors would need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Chauvin caused Floyd’s death while committing or attempting to commit a related felony, in this case third-degree assault.
To win a conviction on third-degree murder, prosecutors would need to prove that Chauvin caused Floyd’s death in an act that is “eminently dangerous” to others. The additional count adds another option for jurors to consider as they weigh charges against Chauvin, which legal experts say is a benefit for prosecutors. (more)
Just like the cases of Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, Freddie Grey, Eric Garner, Breonna Taylor and many more, the background political activists are attempting to manipulate public opinion to achieve their goals. This has been the Marxist roadmap and racial division strategy for the past decade. “Never Let A Crisis Go To Waste”
