Fani Willis Letter to Jordon is to Protect Her – Not the Law


Armstrong Economics Blog/Rule of Law Re-Posted Sep 8, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: What is your view of Fani Willis telling Jim Jordan, Judiciary Committee chairman, that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about?

WY

ANSWER: The arrogant letter demonstrates that her charges against Trump et al. are purely political. You do not write to the Judiciary Committee chairman and tell him he does not know what he is talking about, didn’t finish law school, and needs to buy John Floyd’s RICO book “for the non-bar member price of $249.” I will bet you anything that she will then run for political office. That is what all of these prosecutors do. They try to be flamboyant, attack a big name, and climb the political ladder over that person’s dead body. Rudy Guiliani did that to John Gotti. Sammy the Bull killed over 60 people; most were random and had nothing to do with orders from Gotti. The Judge ruled that the jury was not allowed to hear that, for it might prejudice the government’s case.

This extremely aggressive letter was over the top and attacked him personally to make headlines, demonstrating that she should be removed from office. At the same time, Fani Willis claims that he’s transgressing state sovereignty, separation of powers, and administration of criminal justice, which is all very one-sided. She is violating my civil rights by deliberately interfering in the 2024 election. She should be forced to explain under oath if she has coordinated with any other prosecutions. Has she spoken with any other prosecutor?

Fani Willis’s Letter Was Intended to Protect Her – Not the Integrity of the Law

The Judiciary Committee chairman has an absolute power and right to subpoena Fani Willis and to investigate if she has been violating federal law. Her flamboyant letter is intended to intimidate Jordan and get the press on her side that she has to answer if she is part of a conspiracy or take the Fifth Amendment. She is out of line, and this letter was designed to protect her from being investigated – let’s make that very clear.

The Constitution makes the federal level superior, and no state prosecutor may interfere in a federal election. No state statute can supersede federal law. She needs to go back to school. That is a first-semester issue. Perhaps she forgot. She should be under investigation to establish if this is a coordinated interference in the 2024 election violating the civil rights of everyone in every state. Perhaps she should review all the statutes that she is violating right now!

Accepting COVID Dictates Has Consequences – New Mexico Democrat Governor Now Uses Same “Public Health Emergency” To Ban Firearms


Posted originally on the CTH on September 8, 2023 | Sundance 

This, THIS RIGHT THE F**K HERE, is exactly what you, me, and everyone with a logical brain was talking about back in 2020 and 2021 when the various state governors were using “Public Health Emergency” declarations to rule by unilateral fiat and remove constitutional and legislatively enacted rights.

THIS STORY, happening right now in Alburquerque, is a direct and specific outcome of NOT PUSHING BACK in ’20/’21 and allowing governors to take control without legislative approvals.  The governor has just declared gun possession unlawful, under the auspices of a Public Health Emergency.”

Folks, they are testing the waters, and there needs to be an immediate lawsuit and injunction.

(Via AP) –  ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Friday issued an emergency public health order that suspends the open and permitted concealed carry of firearms in Albuquerque for 30 days in the midst of a spate of gun violence.

The Democratic governor said she is expecting legal challenges but felt compelled to act in response to gun deaths, including the fatal shooting of an 11-year-old boy outside a minor league baseball stadium this week.

The firearms suspension is tied to a threshold for violent crime rates that only the Albuquerque area currently meets. Police are exempt from the temporary ban on carrying firearms.

Lujan Grisham said the restrictions “are going to pose incredible challenges for me as a governor and as a state.”

“I welcome the debate and fight about how to make New Mexicans safer,” she said at a news conference, flanked by leading law enforcement officials, including the district attorney for the Albuquerque area.

Lujan Grisham referenced several recent shootings in Albuquerque. Among them was a road rage shooting Wednesday outside a minor league baseball stadium that killed 11-year-old Froyland Villegas and critically wounded a woman as their vehicle was peppered with bullets while crowds departed an evening game.

Do not be naive enough to think this is not being coordinated with the people in control of the White House.  There is ZERO chance this is an independent decision by the New Mexico governor, ZERO CHANCE.

Now…. Connect the dots. YESTERDAY

White House – […]  “The actions of persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. For this reason, the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001, as amended, and the measures adopted to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond September 23, 2023. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency with respect to persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism declared in Executive Order 13224, as amended.”

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.

Unmanned Aircrafts Will Fight the Next World War


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Sep 8, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Tactical UAVs | Kratos

The US Air Force received their request by Congress to spend $5.8 billion on construction up to 2,000 unmanned aircrafts. These AI drones can operate autonomously without human interference. This means that the decision to decimate masses will not be up to human judgement. The Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) program has been approved and the US government is actively preparing to fight in a largescale war.

The Kratos XQ-58A Valkyrie cost up to $7 million per unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV). They have a range of 3,500 miles (5,600 kilometers) with a cruise speed of 548 mph (882 km/h). Kratos Defense and Security Systems owns the UCAV, and the two largest shareholders, of course, are BlackRock and Vanguard.

This will change the entire nature of war, shrouded in a grey area regarding ethics. Militaries can try to omit responsibility if they say a UCAV was operating on its own free will. Perhaps the aircraft will choose to liberate more poor nations in need of Democracy, especially if they have natural resources like oil. “AI will be a critical element to future warfighting and the speed at which we’re going to have to understand the operational picture and make decisions,” Brig. Gen. Scott Cain, the lab’s commander, said. “AI, Autonomous Operations, and Human-Machine Teaming continue to evolve at an unprecedented pace and we need the coordinated efforts of our government, academia, and industry partners to keep pace.”

This is a solution to the military personnel shortage every branch besides the Marines face. However, the destruction these AI machines will cause is untold. Kratos admits the XQ-58A Valkyrie is experimental. “The operational options that our family of UAVs brings to the warfighter are limited only by the imagination and provide CONOPS/CONEMPS options unavailable by any other competitor in the market,” Kratos notes on its website. The country with the most effective technology will win future wars. All bets are off as they do not know how these unmanned aircrafts will operate amid an ongoing battle, but the US is willing to bet $5.8 billion on their success.

Russian Schools Preparing Children for War


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Sep 8, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Numerous schools reopened this week after the summer break. Unlike US schools that are aiming to eliminate gender in textbooks, children in Russia will have a few new additions to their curriculum to prepare the youth for the ongoing war. After all, the older children must prepare and be aware of the war that they may one day fight and die in. Children will learn why Russia invaded Ukraine in  “Special Military Operation” class and will be educated on “Crimean reunification with Russia.” Putin’s aid, Vladimir Medinsky, oversaw the new updated history books that praise Russian defense or heroism vs. aggression.

The older children will learn “Basics of Life Safety,” intended as a basic military training course. Older teens will learn how to handle grenades, uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) operations, and the proper use of Kalashnikov rifles. Students will also learn basic military first aid, determining how to save the lives of their fellow classmates who could one day be dying before their eyes. Veterans of the ongoing war in Ukraine will visit classrooms to deliver firsthand accounts. “The new curriculum serves three objectives: to indoctrinate students with the Kremlin rationale for the ‘Special Military Operation’, instil students with a martial mindset, and reduce training timelines for onwards mobilisation and deployment,” the UK Ministry of Defence reported via a post on X.

Russians do not have the soft mindset of the West, and parents do not sugarcoat the harsh realities of life to their children. One parent told France 24 in regards to the new curriculum, “There are reasons for concerns… You just need to be prepared for anything and not be afraid.” We have seen military indoctrination in schools throughout history. Everyone likes to point to the Hitler Youth program as an example, but there are countless instances of this occurring. Various countries currently require the youth to serve in the military after schooling. However, the sudden change in curriculum shows that Russia is prepared for a lengthy battle. The nation wants to preserve its version of the historical events unfolding before our eyes. It is sad to know that the incoming class of students will one day be a deployed group of soldiers fighting a senseless war.

Accuser Admits He and Seven Bush Allied Cohorts Secretly Went to FBI to Report Ken Paxton Without Any Evidence of Wrongdoing


Posted originally on the CTH on September 7, 2023 | Sundance 

People are discovering why I have said for several years that Texas is a Red State citizenry led by a majority of Blue cloaked politicians.  The establishment Republicans are thick in Texas, led by the Bush tribe and Karl Rove – the exact same group that supports the con that is Ron DeSantis.

The third day of the Senate impeachment trial of Attorney General Ken Paxton continues today, with the group of deputy attorneys in his office (the Bush Clan) admitting they went running to the FBI for investigative support against Paxton, despite having no evidence of wrongdoing.  WATCH:

Notice how all of the AG office witnesses look exactly like George P. Bush?  They are clones.

Paxton’s crime was easily defeating George P. Bush, which triggered all of the corrupt GOPe appointees, bureaucrats and politicians.

Former White House Advisor Peter Navarro Convicted for Contempt of Congress for Failing to Appear Before J6 Committee


Posted originally on the CTH on September 7, 2023 | Sundance 

Ignore the prior precedent of Attorney General Eric Holder refusing the appear before Congress and give testimony; the rules are different for Trump Republicans.

Peter Navarro refused to testify to the J6 committee.

The committee held Navarro in contempt of Congress; they forwarded the case to the corrupt Merrick Garland Dept of Justice.

The DOJ pursued the case against Navarro, and he was convicted today of two counts of contempt of Congress by a DC jury.

WASHINGTON – Peter Navarro, a former White House adviser to Donald Trump, has been found guilty on two contempt-of-Congress charges for defying a subpoena from the House Jan. 6 select committee.

A jury returned the unanimous conviction Thursday after a four-hour deliberation, which followed a two-day trial featuring testimony from three former Jan. 6 committee staffers. Each count carries a one-year maximum sentence, and Navarro intends to appeal the verdict.

[…] After Navarro refused the panel’s demands, the House held him in contempt of Congress, forwarding the case to the Justice Department, which charged Navarro in June 2022. Those charges came seven months after a close Trump ally, Steve Bannon, was similarly charged for defying the Jan. 6 select committee. Bannon was convicted in July 2022 and is fighting the matter on appeal. (read more)

Trudeau Ignored Warnings that Immigrants Would Worsen Housing Crisis


Armstrong Economics Blog/Real Estate Re-Posted Sep 7, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

A leaked memo from June 2022 reveals that Canada’s Justin Trudeau was warned that the mass influx of immigrants would exacerbate the housing crisis. “There is broad agreement among experts that homebuilding has been insufficient in comparison with housing demand in recent years, particularly with the increase in immigration since 2015,” the memo to Trudeau noted. “CHMC projects that the housing stock will grow by approximately 2.3 million between 2021 and 2030, and, when it incorporates economic factors alongside demographic factors, it projects that an additional 3.5 million additional housing units are needed beyond current projections to restore affordability.”

Trudeau’s response? Bring in more immigrants and feign ignorance to the growing problem. He was warned that Canada was expected to build 665,000 additional housing units in 2021, but only produced 223,000. The memo explained that the 3.5 million units budgeted for 2030 seemed impossible. This warning was sent directly to the prime minister. Canadians were struggling to find shelter but he abandoned domestic policy to promote the policies of the globalists.

The Canadian Real Estate Association states the average house now costs over C$700,000, which is 8.8 times the average income. “I’ll be blunt as well — housing isn’t a federal responsibility. It’s not something that we have direct carriage of,” Trudeau admitted last month. Knowingly permitting a mass influx of migrants when current residents are unable to find housing is the government’s problem. Trudeau blamed individual provinces for not “stepping up.” “They need to be stepping up as well, particularly on affordable housing. That is something that the federal government is taking very seriously, but we need all of us to be working together on, and that’s what we’re here to continue to do.”

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre called out Trudeau for pivoting. “That’s funny because eight years ago, he promised he was going to lower housing costs,” Poilievre said. “No wonder he wants to wash his hands of his horrendous and unprecedented record.” The federal government dictates immigration policies. They are responsible for taxes and infrastructure. Additionally, they are responsible for corrupt agencies that are driving up housing costs. Executives at the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) received C$27 million in taxpayer funded bonuses last year in addition to their average salary of C$697,667.

Trudeau is not working to fix Canada’s housing crisis since he simply does not believe it is his problem. As an open World Economic Forum Young Leader, the ultimate goal of the housing crisis is to implement 15-minute cities where government provides basic income, transportation, and housing in exchange for your freedom.

Anthony Blinken Travels to Ukraine to Announce U.S. Taxpayers Will Provide Another $1 Billion in Military Aid, Plus $520 Million for Clean Energy Initiative


Posted originally on the CTH on September 6, 2023 | Sundance 

This is beyond ludicrous now.  Secretary of State Anthony Blinken travelled to Ukraine to promote the U.S. commitment to our proxy EU country, and their perpetual money laundering operation.

In addition to announcing another $1 Billion in military and police funding, Blinken also announced that U.S. taxpayers would provide $520 million in funds for the Ukraine Green New Deal initiative to redevelop clean energy sources.   Blackrock and Vanguard are smiling large tonight, knowing that Joe Biden and Anthony Blinken are pumping profit funds directly into their subsidiary companies who will do the work.  This is madness.

Mitch McConnell Says, “The Things That People Saw Happen to Me, Really Didn’t Happen”

Sticking to the advance narrative as promoted by the DC machinery that is relying on Mitch McConnell to preserve, protect and defend the graft that is represented by the business of DC politics, Mitch McConnell delivered remarks today about his cognitive mental health.

During his statement McConnell says, “the things that people saw happening to me, really didn’t happen.”   Now, let’s get back to the primary concern issue of sending more money to Ukraine.  The DC laundry operation needs our full support.   WATCH:
