A Young Aide to Governor Andrew Cuomo Becomes The Sixth Woman to Allege Sexual Harassment – Details of Groping Under Her Blouse


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 10, 2021 | Sundance | 64 Comments

A sixth woman has come forward with details of sexual harassment by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

The Times Union – A female aide to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo alleges he aggressively groped her in a sexually charged manner after she had been summoned to the Executive Mansion late last year, according to a person with direct knowledge of the woman’s claims.

The staff member, whose identity is being withheld by the Times Union, had been called to the mansion under the apparent pretext of having her assist the governor with a minor technical issue involving his mobile phone. They were alone in Cuomo’s private residence on the second floor when he closed the door and allegedly reached under her blouse and began to fondle her, according to the source.

The person, who is not authorized to comment publicly, said the woman — who is much younger than Cuomo — told the governor to stop. Her broader allegations include that he frequently engaged in flirtatious behavior with her, and that it was not the only time that he had touched her. (read more)

Communists v Fascists


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Mar 10, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Martin:
I saw your comments on Europe today, and may have sent this to you before but can’t remember.
I have a tract in my office from the 1920s, written in English by the Italian Fascists. I’m going from memory here since I’m writing this from home, but basically, the tract says that the Fascists were much more intelligent than the Communists. The Communists wanted to destroy the economy first, then rebuild something from nothing. The Fascists were more intelligent, preferring to take control of the economy in partnership with both business and labor.

REPLY: I think that is an excellent distinction between the two. I have found it laughable that people were calling Trump Fascist when that would have meant he turned his companies over to be controlled by the government. This is the problem today. People are throwing around labels and have no idea what they really mean.

I stated before when I worked from an office in Philadelphia which was directly across from City Hall. The Occupy Wall Street protesters were there and as I left the office dressed in a suit and tie, one yelled at me “You Corporate Liberal” as if that was wrong. I just looked at him and had to laugh. What was a corporate liberal? Someone who gave the company money away? They were just merging labels with no idea of what they were even saying.

Communism is what these people are doing for they believe they must destroy the economy and then BUILD BACK BETTER, whereas fascists indeed seek only to take control of what is in place.

FBI Rleases New Video of Suspect Planting Pipe Bombs in DC on January 5th – But Wait for it….


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 9, 2021 | Sundance | 128 Comments

According to the FBI: …”The FBI’s Washington Field Office has released new information and video regarding the pipe bombs placed in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, D.C., on January 5, 2021, and is seeking additional information from the public. Identifying the person responsible for placing these pipe bombs is a priority for the FBI’s Washington Field Office and our partners at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; U.S. Capitol Police; and D.C. Metropolitan Police Department.

Accept the statement at face value and then ask yourself:  what is wrong with this picture?

(Screengrab Source)

Seeking your help.  Comments turned off.

See the problem?

Actually, it’s not a problem… it is just an affirmation of intent.  The FBI is in the business of creating, engineering and supporting political narratives.  The FBI is a political institution, that’s why the request doesn’t align with the system… they don’t really want the public’s help; because it is pushing and promoting the investigation itself that is the goal.

Once you accept the FBI is a political organization with political interests, expectations and objectives, then everything makes sense.

On the evening before the violence at our nation’s Capitol, between 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., two pipe bombs were placed near the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters and Republican National Committee (RNC) headquarters. One device was placed in an alley behind the RNC headquarters, located at 310 First Street Southeast, and the other was placed next to a park bench near the DNC headquarters, located at 430 South Capitol Street Southeast #3.

“The American people have provided invaluable assistance in this investigation, and the FBI and our law enforcement partners are very grateful for that cooperation,” said Steven M. D’Antuono, assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office. “We still believe there is someone out there who has information they may not have realized was significant until now. We know it can be a difficult decision to report information about family or friends—but this is about protecting human life. These pipe bombs were viable devices that could have been detonated, resulting in serious injury or death. We need the public’s help to identify the individual responsible for placing these pipe bombs to ensure they will not harm themselves or anyone else.”

[…]  The FBI is asking the public to watch the videos of this person—you may recognize their gait, body language, or mannerisms. We are asking the public to come forward with any information that could assist us, including any odd or out-of-character behavior you noticed in a family member, friend, or coworker, leading up to or after January 5. Regarding the evening of January 5, we are asking for information about an individual who you may have observed matching this description in the vicinity of North Carolina Avenue SE and Folger Park between 6:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.. This person may have entered a vehicle or taken an item from a vehicle and placed it into the backpack. (more)

Battered Conservative No More

The headline here is a twist on a great book about how to not be a participant in your abuse called “Codependent No More“.  The message directly relates to something CTH discusses frequently in both articles and in the comments section.

In order to stop being abused, you must first stop making excuses for your abuser.  Accept things as they are, not as you interpret them to be.  This tweet by Robert Barnes is a great example:

At first blush Barnes is saying something we can all agree with.  Yes, Liz Cheney is toxic to the base of support within the republican party; and yes, the GOP putting Cheney into a very visible position of leadership tells us something.  However, the visiblity of Liz Cheney is not because the GOPe are stupidly disconnected from their base, Liz Cheney is purposefully visible because the GOPe wants her there.  She is a feature not a flaw or mistake; and the GOP totally gets it.

The Republican party believes the conservative voter base of the party is the problem, not the leadership.  Please accept that as an empirical fact or we will continue to have discussions that are misinterpretations of motive.  From the mindset of the institutional Republican party YOU are the problem, not Liz Cheney.

When you finally accept that the RNC wing of the UniParty hates you, literally hates their base of voters, only then can you begin to break the cycle known as “Battered Conservative Syndrome.”

However, to break this toxic mindset we must stand firm against the abuser.  THEY are the problem, not you.  THEY work for you, not vice-versa.

The GOP leadership is supposed to represent your priorities, not carry out their priorities while managing your angst.

We The People are being abused by them.

Everything they are doing – they are doing because what they are doing is exactly what they want to do.

The institutional republican leadership are not making mistakes.  Accept who they are.

Battered Conservative No More!

If you are a regular reader of this site you are generally a person who engages in intellectual discussion on daily events and more than likely a root cause thinker. Meaning you are able to grasp events at their cause and not at their consequence.

However, for some reason, many of those who understand big picture dynamics are still comfortable sticking their heads in the sand about “motive”.  Many people are still clinging to actual beliefs around a principle of ‘rule of law’ that applies to National Leadership.

You’d better change that thinking quickly – or you’ll be asking ‘what happened’ far too late.

There seems to be a willful blindness on the part of the American people, a chosen refusal to acknowledge the implications of the unAmerican and unConstititional behaviors, actions and outcomes we are being served on a daily basis.

It can no longer be presumed to be a matter of “I can’t see what’s happening” because a whole lot of normal Americans really are clean and articulate.

I can’t see it” just doesn’t cut it anymore.

DeceptiCon Senator John Barrasso Vows to Back Lisa Murkowski


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 8, 2021 | Sundance | 135 Comments


Following in the footsteps of Mitch McConnell, Decepticon Senator John Barrasso vows to support DeceptiCon Senator Lisa Murkowski (U-DC, via Alaska) if she seeks re-election.

Murkowski voted to impeach President Trump and Trump has vowed to campaign against Murkowski in the 2022 GOP primary.

WASHINGTON DC – Sen. John Barrasso said Sunday he’d back Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski for reelection, breaking with former President Donald Trump not long after he vowed to campaign against her.

“I want to always make sure we nominate somebody who can win in November,” Barrasso, the No. 3 Senate Republican, said on NBC’s “Meet The Press” of the 2022 midterm elections. “Lisa Murkowski knows Alaska better than anybody, and she’s an incredible fighter for American energy.” The Wyoming Republican cautioned that Murkowski — who has held her seat since 2002 — has not officially declared she would seek another term, but “if she does, I’m going to support her.”

[…] Murkowski is one of seven Republicans who voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial but is the only one of that cohort to face reelection next year. […] Murkowski, who succeeded her father, Frank Murkowski, in the Senate, has also proved a difficult person for Republicans to unseat. She managed to win as a write-in candidate after losing a GOP primary in 2010, and Alaska has since switched to a ranked-choice voting system that will pit candidates of all parties against one another in an open primary, with the top four vote-getters advancing to the general election.

Barrasso also said he stood by Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney (read more)

FOIA Release Showcases FBI Small Group Coordinating With Media To Push Russia Narrative in 2017 Exactly as Suspected


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 8, 2021 | Sundance | 88 Comments

HatTip FOIA FAN who continues digging on the Sypgate operation, to keep the historic record accurate.

This latest affirmation of 2017 coordinated activity with media comes amid new text releases from internal conversations of the FBI small group.  Peter Ztrzok, Lisa Page, Mike Kortan (PIO), Jennifer Boone, Andrew McCabe and others.  Essentially it confirms what we previously outlined on January 10, 2017, immediately after CNN broadcast their false narrative about Trump Russia collusion.  (source):

Jim Sciutto, Evan Perez and Carl Bernstein were coordinating the attack against Trump through Jake Tapper’s show on CNN.  The FBI small group were well aware of what the CNN crew were planning.  FBI Spokesperson Mike Kortan was coordinating the narrative on behalf of the FBI team.  The FBI knew the underlying premise was entirely false and likely so too did the CNN crew as we outlined in “The Anatomy of a Political Smear.”

I’m not going to waste time going over the issues again.  {Go Deep Here – Go Deep Here}  At this point highlighting the accuracy of the past holds no value.  Suffice to say the larger American electorate, ‘We The People’, just need to train ourselves how to spot this stuff when it happens.  As long as people continue to believe in the U.S. media apparatus, it will be more difficult to break the cycle of abuse.

Our nation deserves better.  We deserve better.

The Big Ugly Continues, Another DeceptiCon Taps Out – Senator Roy Blunt Will Not Seek Re-election, Further Evidence Mitch McConnell Will Exit Soon


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 8, 2021 | Sundance | 251 Comments

The reality of the group known as the “Senate DeceptiCons” {Go Deep 2014} all now exiting, showcases their internal knowledge about how much the electorate is awake to their decades long schemes and machinations.  These continued announcements are also predictive that Mitch McConnell is soon to leave the upper chamber.

Hold on to your political hat’s folks, this is going to get bigger and uglier as the power of the MAGA community and President Trump start to influence change.

The number of republican senators not running for reelection just gained another name today. 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; now Senator Roy Blunt makes the same announcement.

They know the American electorate can see both wings of the UniParty vulture now.

WASHINGTON DC – Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri announced on Monday that he will not run for reelection in 2022, a surprise decision from the No. 4 GOP leader that comes amid a slew of retirements from top Senate Republicans.

Blunt, who was first elected to the Senate in 2010 and previously served for 14 years in the House, is the fifth Republican this cycle to announce his retirement.His decision is certain to set off a messy GOP primary in a state where former President Donald Trump remains popular.

“After 14 general election victories — three to county office, seven to the United States House of Representatives, and four statewide elections — I won’t be a candidate for reelection to the United States Senate next year,” Blunt said in a video message announcing his retirement. (read more)

In the 2022 Senate races there are 34 seats up for grabs.  14 are held by Democrats and 20 are held by tenuous Republicans.  [Breakdown Here] Due to vulnerability, their lack of support amid the republican base, and their insufferable 2020 behavior outing them as DeceptiCons, it is almost guaranteed the GOP will lose seats in the 2022 mid-term election…. UNLESS President Trump leads the MAGA coalition to victory with new faces.

Current Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has a leadership group who carry out the institutional objectives of the upper chamber as a body, they include: Senator John Thune (whip); Senator John Barrasso (conference chair); Roy Blunt (committee chair); Todd Young (NRSC chair); Jodi Ernst (conference vice-chair); and Chuck Grassley (president pro tempore). None of these senators make a move publicly without approval from Leader McConnell.

Things amid the DeceptiCon caucus are getting very interesting.

The Shameful Seven are almost all GONE!

[…] Idaho Republican Sen. Mike Crapo has said he intends to run in 2022, but had not officially announced his candidacy. (LINK)

Another downstream note…. a dot that few will pay attention to… a subtle variable for those traveling the deep weeds…. this announcement portends the DecptiCon caucus knows the Senate Filibuster is about to be eliminated.

John Solomon Tick Tocks John Durham for Another Six to Eight Weeks


Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 7, 2021 | Sundance 

Independent journalist and suspiciously inaccurate Spygate predictor John Solomon appears on Fox Morning News with Maria Bartiromo to discuss his ongoing Spygate storyline.  After predicting for three years that indictments were coming, Solomon now says indictments over the next six to eight weeks are most likely; AS LONG AS the DOJ gives John Durham permission.
