Club Moves – Bloomberg is IN if Biden is OUT…


Well this is buckets of interesting.  Last year CTH anticipated Bloomberg would be one of the Club insiders positioned to take lead in the 2020 Club primary.  However, as time progressed Club board members seemed to shift Bloomberg aside in favor of Joe Biden. A proactive Rupert Murdoch hired Biden’s former chief-of-staff in preparation.

Unfortunately for the Club’s board, Biden is failing to launch.  The free range Moonbat coalition, aka the unsuspecting astroturf, are turning out to be more challenging to herd than the board anticipated. Their plot against installing Biden may succeed. This opens the club to reconsider Bloomberg’s prior presentation….

New York – Mike Bloomberg may still consider a run for the White House — particularly if touchy-feely Joe Biden decides to stay out of the race, according to a report.

After months of speculation, the former New York City mayor said last month that he would not seek the presidency, writing in a statement that he was “clear-eyed” about the obstacles to securing the nomination in the packed Democratic field.

But sources now tell Axios that the 77-year-old, who is worth $58 billion, might reconsider a centrist path if Biden, 76, is compromised by the accusations from two women of inappropriate touching.

A source told the news outlet that the race looked like “a bloody fight for the same slice of voters” between Biden and Bloomberg — before the former veep’s public displays of affection grabbed the spotlight.  (read more)

As previously shared, ultimately the ‘chosen one’ will come only with the Club’s approval. It’s an interesting dynamic to watch the board members negotiating.

The unofficial ‘chosen one‘, the intended party donor candidate, will not likely surface until April or May 2019. The DNC is predictable; it’s a club. It’s still seems too early for the anointed candidate to surface.  Planning and strategy is one of the key elements of the Democrat party.  It might seem weird at first, but the DNC club is not chaotic; and, from my perspective, that is their weakness. It makes them predictable.

The chosen-one would generally come into play immediately after the democrats have set down a larger trumpeted baseline. The chosen-one roll out would be designed to flow from the club’s baseline narrative. The ♦Club rarely, if ever, goes off script.

Here’s the way it looks so far:

  • Senator Ted Cruz was to 2016…. as Senator Elizabeth Warren is to 2020
  • ♦Governor Jeb Bush was to 2016 as….
  • Senator Marco Rubio was to 2016… as Senator Bernie Sanders is to 2020
  • Governor John Kasich was to 2016… as
  • Senator Lindsey Graham was to 2016 as… Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is to 2020
  • Governor Mike Huckabee was to 2016… as Senator Corey Booker is to 2020
  • Senator Rand Paul was to 2016…. as Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard is to 2020
  • Dr. Ben Carson was to 2016… as Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke is to 2020
  • Governor Chris Christie was to 2016 as… Governor J. Hickenlooper is to 2020
  • Governor Scott Walker was to 2016 as… Governor Jay Inslee is to 2020
  • Senator Rick Santorum was to 2016…. as Senator Sherrod Brown is to 2020
  • Governor George Pataki was to 2016 as….
  • Governor Rick Perry was to 2016…. as Senator Kamala Harris is to 2020
  • Governor Bobby Jindal was to 2016…. as Julian Castro is to 2020
  • Carly Fiorina was to 2016 as…. Senator Amy Klobuchar is to 2020
  • Governor Jim Gilmore was to 2016…

Motive Synergy – Fox News Hires Joe Biden Former Chief-of-Staff…..


As they say… things get clearer with more data. The activity behind the curtain starts to make more sense.

Thanks to an article from Newsmax we now get to see the fourth corner of the 2020 Fox News motives:

NEWSMAX – The parent company of Fox News has hired a former top aide to Joe Biden as its chief lobbyist in Washington.

On Tuesday the new Fox Corp., a spin-off of 21st Century Fox which just merged with Disney, became a standalone public company, controlling television assets such as Fox News and the Fox television network.

Broadcasting & Cable reported that new Fox “hit the ground running on day one” with its Washington lobbying operation headed by Danny O’Brien, a well-known Democrat.

O’Brien was brought on last October as executive vice president and head of government relations for the Fox Corp.

Previously, he had served as Senator Joe Biden’s chief of staff and went on to head Biden’s 2008 presidential campaign. (read more)

Now things start to make a lot more sense.  Fox News Chairman and founder, billionaire Rupert Murdoch, has a long-held nickname: “Mr. Wall Street”.

President Trump’s nationalist economic policies are directly adverse to the interests of Wall Street, the globalists multinationals (banks and corps), the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Business Roundtable and K-Street lobbyists.  All of them are losing money, power and influence under the America First trade reset carried out by President Trump.

The aforementioned groups will predictably do anything to remove the pesky President Trump; there are trillions at stake.  Just like their support shifted from Jeb to Hillary when candidate Trump defeated their scheme in 2016, the global multinational community is guaranteed to support the DNC club’s “chosen candidate”.

It is becoming increasingly likely that chosen global candidate will be Joe Biden.  Like we have shared numerous times, nothing inside the club happens organically.  There is always a planned strategy behind everything.

Fox News hiring Donna Brazile as a political analyst; and Fox News hiring Paul Ryan as one of the small group board members…. now takes on a new dynamic with the revelation that Fox News hired Joe Biden’s former chief-of-staff, Danny O’Brien, as their primary legislative lobbyist on K-Street.

Danny O’Brian now steps conveniently into the role of emissary between the Big Club and the DC political influencers, just as the Club prepares the landscape for Joe Biden.

As we said, nothing the club does is organic.

Biden will have access to unlimited financial support from the multinational Wall Street community. However, Biden’s weakness in 2020 is the same as Jeb’s weakness in 2016, a lack of grassroots support.   That’s why Bernie and Beto are currently data-mining the electorate to gather up the contact info (data harvesting) for later Club deployment.

Now things are coming into greater focus…

2020 for the DNC club is shaping up identically as 2016 was for the RNC club.  Again, not to beat a dead horse, but the clubs never change the playbook, only the portfolio cover.

There’s still a possibility Biden is not the DNC club’s ‘chosen one’; but the odds of that are diminishing.  We keep watching…

Biden doesn’t need $$$. He will have unlimited access to the biggest Wall Street (multinational corporate) financial vaults in modern political history; both here and abroad. What Biden lacks is grassroots voter data… Hence, Bernie and Beto sent to harvest.

CNN Interviews Brad Parscale, Then Accidentally Notes the DNC 2020 Strategy…


This is a little funny.  CNN’s Dana Bash interviews President Trump’s 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale.  The discussion is about the election, but on a granular level is really about data use in the 2020 election.  Parscale has given these interviews before, the one with PBS [SEE HERE] is much better.

However, the more interesting aspect to the interview actually comes after the segment when CNN’s Jake Tapper happens to note what the DNC is attempting to do.  Within Tapper’s remarks he happens to outline why the DNC is running the crew currently enlisted as candidates.  Watch specifically at the 04:00 point.

.What Tapper notes as the urgent data collection priority of the DNC is specifically the reason why the club has enlisted Beto to draw-in the community they need to harvest.  The Democrats, specifically young democrats, have no idea how the ‘club’ plans to use them.

It is important to remember the DNC and RNC are private clubs. The club rules and processes have have no direct connection to the administration of government.

The DNC and RNC are completely private organizations with the ability to make their own rules, membership terms, conditions and agendas. You’d be surprised how many people do not know that simple point.

Because they are private clubs it is always laughable when politicians talk about “campaign finance reform”. Quite simply if either club -or both- wanted to put limits or restrictions on the financial side of their club membership or activity, they could; easy peasy. Those rules have nothing to do with government; the clubs make the decisions not to do so.

The introduction of Robert Francis O’Rourke was weak at best.  There was little to no fanfare from the DNC club.  The roll out was horrible.  This is not the entrance of ‘the chosen one‘.

The unofficial ‘chosen one‘, the intended party donor candidate, will not surface until April or May 2019. The DNC is predictable; it’s a club. It’s far too early for the anointed candidate to surface.

Planning, scheming, endless meetings, talking points, operational organization and strategy is one of the key elements of the Democrat party.  This is what they do.  This is all they do.  It might seem weird at first, but the DNC club is not chaotic; and, from my perspective, that is their weakness. It makes them predictable.The Democrats rarely, if ever, go off script.

Now, let’s get down to business….

Remember, the DNC is a private club. They set their own member rules, bylaws and regulations.

The DNC is a private club, they do not need to allow anyone to become a member. The DNC controls the terms for membership.

[The RNC is the same]

Most voters have no idea about how the RNC and DNC being private clubs plays into U.S. elections. Let’s talk about the open secret.

Like any club, there are dues or fees associated with being a member. However, the primary currency for members to receive support from the DNC club does not revolve around direct payments to the club. Instead, the club membership agreement is based upon a much more valuable currency of data gathering. The citizens, or individual voters, represent the data the club needs to collect.  The data is the game now.

Private companies like: Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon have business models that are dependent on data collection. The data is you. Your data is valuable. When they have your data; your phone number, address, email, bank account,IP address, geolocation identifiers, pictures, vehicle location etc. they then have control over your profile. In essence, they know you… and they know your contacts… and your family… and your friends… and your work…. and your dentist… and your diet… and your secrets.

If you use your phone a lot, most people do, your phone holds a lot of your data. When you plug your phone into your computer the operating software downloads your phone data and transfers it to file sharing systems for transmission via the internet. Log on to a wifi network and the router automatically uploads that data to the host. If you plug your phone into a vehicle enabled with GPS or Bluetooth tech the same thing happens; the car downloads your phone data and then transmits it to the vehicle data-center.

Rental car companies make just as much money selling the uploaded phone data of rental car users as they do from the traditional business model of renting you the depreciating car.

In the business realm, the assembled profile allows the data owners to track you and influence you toward purchasing decisions. You, that is your ‘data profile’, then becomes a commodity; a currency of sorts. As a commodity the business can sell your data to another business who aggregates thousands, perhaps millions, of other profiles. Take a picture with your phone and voila, you’ve just shared data with the provider.

Your data is valuable.

The currency of the private club (RNC or DNC) is based on this model. Data is the trade-able currency for club membership. If you want to be an important club member; if you want the support of the club’s leadership; well, gather more data. Gather a lot of data and that data file is worth a great deal to the club management. They too want to influence your decisions.

Even if Joe Biden wanted to, he cannot gather the data needed for a 2020 presidential bid; Biden cannot pack an arena with 10,000 high-energy voters. So if the club wants to support Biden (or another party-favored milquetoast candidate), they need another method for data collection.

Enter Bernie Sanders….

Bernie is a great capitalist.

Bernie is perhaps the greatest capitalist on the left side of the ledger.

Bernie Sanders as a political candidate is a great harvester of data. What makes Bernie’s harvest so valuable is the type of data profile he is harvesting. Bernie is harvesting from a key audience. For whatever reason, the valuable audience loves Bernie. Jane and Bernie love the value of the audience data. Yum.

Bernie and Jane know their how to exploit their business model for their benefit. The DNC club loves that Jane and Bernie know how to harvest. The club pays Bernie and Jane a premium because their harvest product is full of healthy young data nutrients.

The club also doesn’t want to undermine Jane and Bernie’s efforts; so they wait. Bernie and Jane know the club is waiting for the deposit; the club rules require it. Jane and Bernie have their eyes on a very nice house. The future is bright for Bernie and Jane.

And so it goes…. and so it goes.

March is harvest month for Bernie and Jane. After the harvest the club will pay handsomely and then all will cheer.

The same role and responsibility applies to Beto; this is why President Obama visited Beto.  However, unlike Bernie, Beto might just be stupid enough not to realize his role.

Additionally, just like the unsuspecting young couple who plugged their phone into the convenient rental car charger and gave away their data, the Bernie and Beto data providers will be oblivious.

Club rules.

History Repeats: Another Failed Romney – “It’s Like Watching a Duck Try To Make Love To a Football”…


In my opinion what Trump should do is remind the RNC that they need to Honor there agreement they have with him; since it appears to be sponsoring others to take him out. If this is not the case then they should remind people like Romney that what the just did is uncalled for. If he thinks he can do better than Trump then he should get in the primaries and battle it out out with the ones actually running.

Unreal – The Washington Examiner Promises To Destroy Any DC Politician Who Supports Donald Trump…

New Michigan Poll: Ted Cruz Ceiling 19%, Marco Rubio Ceiling 18%, Donald Trump Winning…


I live in Cleveland, Ohio and John Kasich is not popular in this state and we have been very upset with the Ohio Republican party itself which always promises one thing but ALWAYS does the opposite. The only way trump would not win in Ohio on the 15th would be massive voter fraud which is very possible.

Republican Party Civil War of Self-Destruction


republican_split

As we head into 2017, we are looking at the entire world coming undone at the seams. The year 2017 will be the Political Year from Hell because this is a global trend that is unfolding. The establishment Republicans are fighting for control of the party to ensure Trump does not get the nomination. Some even talk about banning him from all further debates. Then the latest catch-phrase they attack him with is that he is no conservative. That begs the question, if they are conservative, then why does the deficit continue to rise, they fail to downsize government, they support every war effort, and they supported every tax increase right down to FATCA. So if this is conservative, then the last Republican I saw was really a Democrat in drag. Make no mistake about it. This will drive markets completely nuts as we move into 2018. So pay attention to politics. This is the collapse of government right before your eyes.

The truth is they like things as they are. It is not that Trump is not a conservative, the problem is he is an outsider. They want the status quo and no outsider to upset the apple-cart. Behind the curtain, make no mistake about it; THEY PREFER HILLARY TO TRUMP. Why? Because Hillary is one of them and will never upside the elite status of Washington politicians. She too is owned by the bankers just as Cruz’s wife works at Goldman Sachs.

There are Republicans opposing Trump and Romney will lead the charge yet stop short of endorsing anyone else. While the Republican party leadership could make more progress if they focused on building bridges rather than burning them down, this is about them retaining power against any outsider. They have no interest in reforming Washington no less the country. It’s just fine as it is.

President-3rdParty

Our model has been warning about the rise of a 3rd party for 2016 or some anti-establishment movement. IT is by no means out of the question to see a 3rd Party. It seems the elite Republicans want Trump to exit the Republican Party and become Independent for they would rather hand it all to Hillary to ensure their rank and career political status. The fear Trump will be an outsider who will trim the sails of government and reduce wasteful spending that feeds their friends and family, is just too much for them to accept.

House-3rdParty

We have also written warning that if there would be a third party, it would come from a split in the Republicans, not the Democrats. There is a Civil War brewing within the Republicans and we must accept the fact that the Party may very well self-destruct. The corruption in politics is far too great for these people to ever have any national sense of “Representing” the people rather than their own self-interest. So it does not matter who it might be, even if Trump is driven out of the Republican Party, we are looking at Trump 3.0 come 2018 election cycle and that will devastate Congress itself. We are looking at a huge spike overthrowing career politicians in 2018 in the Congress. That will not be Trump, it will be an army of Trumps.

2017-Budget Deficit

We have been warning that 2017 will be the Year from Political Hell. The establishment politicians are too busy trying to defeat Trump to bother to address the real crisis that hits next year. This is their own projection. The deficits will explode in 2017 and they will respond with raising taxes. So if Trump is NOT elected, we will see Trump say SEE I TOLD YOU SO. That will set the stage even more for the wholesale overturn of Congress in 2018.

Tax RobberyAt the end of the day, this is driving a stake in the heart of CONFIDENCE. As this materializes, that will help to destabilize the markets and then we will begin to see the Sling-Shot. That requires a collapse in CONFIDENCE within government. Once we crack that level of CONFIDENCE where the majority assume government is there to protect them rather than shake the money from their pockets, we will begin to see things materialize.

This is the essence of a Sling-Shot Move. This is precisely the type of self-destruction that will cause the world economy to implode. It is all about them. Like the Troika in Europe, there is no intent upon ever reforming government. The assume they can force everything to do what they demand. Sorry; they are just wrong.

Outrageous Reports of Republicans Engaged in Voter Fraud to Stop Trump


Voter Fraud

Widespread polling booth and ballot malfunction in several states brings into question the integrity of our voting system. By lunchtime on Super Tuesday, Election Protection, a nonpartisan coalition of groups that run election-day hotlines, said their hotline had received more than 1,000 calls. The majority of calls came from Alabama, Georgia and Texas.

Voters in Williamson County, Texas reported to KLBJ Radio that voting machines were actually rigged and switched their vote from Trump to Rubio or another candidate creating distrust in our voting system. Marco Rubio won Williamson County, Texas with 37% of the county’s vote versus the 18% he received state wide.

We are in meltdown mode. The Republican are out to stop Trump at all costs. They are trying to rob him of the nomination and we can expect the polls to be rigged and they may very well try to broker the election combining all other delegates to one person. What many establishment politicians now want is for Cruz and Rubio to just gather delegates and rig the machines if they have to, and then combine everyone’s delegates to the first ballot to stop Trump using their rules. If they can accomplish that, then Trump will lose his delegates and they are free to vote for whoever they want after the first ballot.

This is becoming a real civil war with the establishment Republicans against the people. This does not look like it will end nicely. Be prepared for some really wild rides ahead. This may end up as the main fundamental behind a Sling Shot move that unfolds as confidence in government collapses.
