“The Slick” Announces His Run for Ohio Governor


Posted originally on CTH on February 24, 2025 | Sundance

One of the consistent reminders from CTH research files is always to ‘trust your instincts.’  If it doesn’t feel quite right, then just wait, don’t formulate an opinion, keep watching and the picture will likely fill-in.

When considering anything that encompasses Vivek ‘The Slick’ Ramaswamy, trusting your instincts is key. Everything, from the speech pattern, the cadence, the sense of self-importance; all the way to the grand prose of Indian cultural heritage that puts others down as a cultural power dynamic, socially elevating self. It is all performative. Shallow and performative.

Ohio is an odd state. They seem to always find a way to leave themselves with the worst possible options for Governor.  He’s going to be a liability in the long term. Ramaswamy is not stable; he’s erratic and focused on emotional/personality issues.

.

I hope the people in Ohio do not agree with my assessment, because the other options are likely to be worse.

Ohio is a weird place when it comes to Governor races.  The old GOP party controls the mechanics, the MAGA party is the base – that’s the source of the contradiction.

The Beatification of Kamala Begins


Posted originally on the CTH on July 23, 2024 | Sundance


Sixteen years ago, the term “manufactured enthusiasm” took on an entire new meaning with the introduction of Teh One, Chicago Jesus, the bringer of all progressive enlightenment, Barack Obama.  The intersection of Hollywood and a left-wing political media crowned their golden calf, and the outcome was ridiculous.

Many voices, not enough obviously, were shouting “wait, stop” and various warnings about what would come next.  However, those warnings fell on deaf ears and the “fundamental change” was hoisted upon an electorate coping with a housing and financial crisis.  The rest, as they say, is history.

Folks, we are about to witness the full 2007/2008 ego-driven madness packed into a short three-month period.  The manufactured enthusiasm for Kamala Harris has begun, and the first 48 hours of the marketing blitz are exactly as we should expect.

The next few months are going to be ridiculous at a level beyond The Lightbringer.

Fortunately, a person who was perhaps not paying attention in ’07/’08 will now get to witness something they missed before, and the ears might not be as deaf as they were 16-years ago.   We also have the ego of Teh One which might come into play if he feels slighted witnessing a higher level of adulation than he received.  We’ll have to wait and see.

What we do know is that preparations have been long-underway to flip the switch for Kamala Harris, and despite her prior failure to launch with operation Jussie Smollett, Hollywood, Big Tech, the UniParty and the entirety of the left-wing political media apparatus are going to funnel all that Biden angst into Kamala worship.

As college students return for their fall semester, watch what they encounter.

.

(Des Moines) – “There’s no path for me to be the next president, absent things we don’t want to see happen in this country,” he said in a speech announcing that he was suspending his campaign after coming in 4th place in the Iowa Caucuses.

Ramaswamy said the next president must be an “America First” president. He said he would throw his support behind former President Donald Trump.

As he announced he was ending his bid, Ramaswamy had 8,093 votes, or 7.7%, in the Republican caucuses with 91% of votes reporting. (MORE)

President Trump Calls Out Vivek Ramaswamy, “Very Sly” but “Vivek is not MAGA”


Posted originally on the CTH on January 14, 2024 | Sundance 

Good to see this. Good timing also.

Vivek Ramaswamy has been promoting and presenting himself as the ‘safe alternative’ to President Trump while simultaneously pushing a constant talking point that “they will never let him win.” At a certain point the linguistic programming starts to be too obvious. I’ve said it a thousand times, and I will repeat it again: trust your instincts.

[SOURCE]

“Very sly”…  It would appear to me that President Trump can see it, sense it and notices it also.

If Vivek Ramaswamy was authentic to his words, if he really wanted to advance the America First movement, he would accept the futility of his position and endorse Donald J. Trump.  His unwillingness to do that says more about him, about his [¹]’glowing‘ motives and intents, than anything else he might say.

What you are doing speaks so loudly, I cannot hear a word you are saying.

[¹] I have stayed generally neutral on Ramaswamy for a reason.  However, he is now sending the exact signals I would expect to see if an intelligence community operator was nearing the end of his usefulness.  It’s called ‘Linguistic Programming‘.  ie “they will never allow,” etc. (MORE)

Vivek and Ronna Trading Blows Over Effectiveness of RNC


Posted originally on the CTH on November 9, 2023 | Sundance

The RNC doesn’t exist to win elections; they exist to raise money, but someone forgot to explain to Vivek Ramaswamy what we have discussed for more than a decade.  For some apparent reason, Vivek Ramaswamy chose the November 8th debate as an opportunity to decry the RNC as an electioneering organization.  His message was quite truthful, albeit difficult to accept if you are a professional Republican.  WATCH:

Ronna McDaniel then went onto Fox News to declare that messaging and state electioneering are the responsibility of the candidates and state party.  As told, the RNC does not consider statewide elections an important element of Republican Party politics. WATCH:

Glowworm Showing – Sean Hannity Goes Bananas During Interview with Vivek Ramaswamy


Posted originally on the CTH on October 13, 2023 | Sundance 

The deep state mask slipping continues in 2023 as the controlled Fox News punditry showcase their alignment with the neocon war agenda.   This one is another remarkable reveal.

Sean Hannity, the perpetual interrupter, totally loses his cool in an interview with Vivek Ramaswamy and starts defending the agenda of defense contractors.  It is a remarkable level of sunlight upon the controlled Fox News host who succumbed to the black-ops file involving his zipper problems (see Anisley Earhardt).  Now divorced, and under substantial financial pressure, Murdoch et al have Hannity right where they want him.

Hannity attacks Ramaswamy for the candidate’s position on government contractors funding SuperPACS, then goes into a diatribe about how only deep state government defense and intelligence officials can manage our national political priorities.  Dropping the remnants of his mask, Hannity finishes the interview extolling the virtues of the military industrial complex, and saying only career politicians are qualified to be President. WATCH (2 mins):

On the positive side, the more these purchased second-rate losers attack each other, the better it is for the pragmatic MAGA coalition who appreciate optimal solutions.

Ramaswamy Pledges to Cut Government by 75%


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Sep 19, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Republican Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has pledged to cut the federal government by 75% if elected president. In fact, he said he wants to reorganize the entire federal government. Ramaswamy is confident he can cut the size of government in half during his first term, followed by an additional quarter during his second. This is the most extreme proposal to decrease government thus far. Could he do it?

“If they want to sue me, let them sue me. We’ll take that to the Supreme Court. I’ve studied the current Supreme Court. We win six to three on my view of the Constitution and the laws of this country,” Ramaswamy told supporters at an event in New Hampshire. “We codify that into judicial precedent so the next guy that comes along after me is not going to have his hands tied in the same way. That’s how we drive real change in this country.”

This would result in a decrease of 2.2 million civilian government employees. Ramaswamy is looking to target the IRS, Department of Education, FBI, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and Nuclear Regulatory Commission. We can certainly do away with the 87,000 additional IRS agents that Biden installed. When Elon Musk took over X, formerly Twitter, he decreased the workforce by 80%. His reasoning? “Turns out you don’t need that many people to run Twitter. If you’re not trying to run some sort of glorified activist organization, and you don’t care that much about censorship, then you can really let go of a lot of people turns out,” Musk stated.

The US government has become more dystopian under Biden than any other president. He has created countless groups that add no value to America and are merely there to spy on, censor, or tax the American public. The federal government is overinflated with countless agencies and positions that we simply do not need. It is a burden on the taxpayers, and state and local government pensions were never properly funded.

Around 30% of the government workers in question are eligible to retire in the next five years. Although Ramaswamy said he wants to start on day one in office, and while I think it is a good idea, he will never have that chance because they would never allow him to become the president.
