Senator Ron Wyden Asks AG Merrick Garland to Release Information About AT&T “Hemisphere” Dragnet Surveillance Agreement With U.S. Government


Posted originally on the CTH on November 26, 2023 | Sundance 

For several years many people have made inquiries about CTH content not being available on their devices.  I have always responded with the same answer, check your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and if you are using AT&T or a regional subsidiary therein, that’s the source of the issue; it’s not a CTH technical problem.

For what follows, keep in mind that AT&T is not just an internet service and cell phone service provider.  AT&T is also Turner (CNN) and Time Warner (HBO) etc. {link}  Also you might notice the CNN aspect in hotels and airport broadcasts.  Additionally, pay attention to the segment underlined below that applies to all other providers that join in technical collaboration with AT&T to provide services.  Meaning it’s not just AT&T that ultimately is the issue here.

Lastly, if you have followed my research outlines on how the Obama administration weaponized the Patriot Act to target political opposition in 2009 {Go Deep}, please note the date underlined on page #2.   This public-private partnership should make a lot of other things (previously outlined) make sense.

You can see how the Obama administration originated the issue in 2009.  Then, following the controversy of the Tea Party targeting by the DOJ/IRS, if you have read the CTH articles about the 2009 creation of the Fourth Branch of Government, this letter from Senator Ron Wyden outlines the source of the 2009 origin we have been talking about.

Barack Obama and Eric Holder did not create a weaponized DOJ and FBI; the institutions were already weaponized by the Patriot Act.  What Obama and Holder did was take the preexisting system and retool it, so the weapons of government only targeted one side of the political continuum.

This point is where many people understandably get confused.

Elevator Speech:

(1) The Patriot Act turned the intel surveillance radar from foreign searches for terrorists to domestic searches for terrorists.

(2) Obama/Biden then redefined what is a “terrorist” to include their political opposition.

In the era shortly after 9/11, the DC national security apparatus, instructed by Vice President Dick Cheney, was constructed to preserve continuity of government and simultaneously view all Americans as potential threats. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) were created specifically for this purpose.

After 9/11/01, the electronic surveillance system that was originally created to monitor threats from abroad was retooled to monitor threats inside our country.  That is when all of our electronic ‘metadata’ came under federal surveillance.

That inflection point, and the process that followed, was exactly what Edward Snowden tried to point out.

What Barack Obama and Eric Holder did with that new construct was refine the internal targeting mechanisms so that only their political opposition became the target of this new national security system.

The problems we face now as a country are directly an outcome of two very distinct points that were merged by Barack Obama. (1) The post 9/11 monitoring of electronic communication of American citizens; and (2) Obama’s team creating a fine-tuning knob that it focused on the politics of the targets.  This is very important to understand as you dig deeper {Keep GOING } …

Can you see it now?

Olivers’ Non-Pretending Assessment of Global Politics


Posted originally on the CTH on November 26, 2023 | Sundance 

Neil Oliver delivered a good summation of recent global events in the world of politics when contrast against the stabbing of school children in Ireland; the resulting populist backlash to the forced multicultural import and elimination of national identity, and the immediate reaction by Ireland’s leader Leo Varadkar as he demands new hate speech laws to stop people from speaking out against government forced migration.

Once again as with Brexit and the first Trump election victory, free people are pushing back while the authoritarian government regimes of the global UniParty threaten arrest. The people speak in Holland as nationalist Geert Wilders wins election; the left goes bananas. In Argentina nationalist and populist Javier Milei wins the election, again the globalist left goes bananas.

We are standing on the precipice, fighting with the “tools of democracy,” while those who have bastardized the term dispatch any semblance of democratic norms that do not fit the UniParty agenda. As Oliver notes, in the USA Democrats and Republicans both unite the ranks of the totalitarian government; in the U.K the Conservatives and Labor party politicians form the same UniParty.

The voices of the voters are being dispatched, ignored and labeled as extreme while Ireland starts to show what comes after the ballot box approach no longer works. WATCH:

It can no longer be argued or ignored…. there is simply too much evidence.

After Demanding Texas AG Ken Paxton Resign to Support George P Bush, Congressman Chip Roy Endorses Ron DeSantis


Posted originally on the CTH on November 25, 2023 | Sundance 

In the next several months you might notice a more deliberate tone to the CTH postings that may create some discomfort for those who prefer a more delicate approach.  Having met with several people who are now accepting the non-pretending framework, and having a seemingly enlarged support network ready to see things as they are – and not as we would customarily wish them to be, it becomes more important than ever to provide brutally honesty within all review.

Congressman Chip Roy previously aligned with the George P Bush clan and called for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to resign {SEE HERE}, thereby showcasing his ideological alignment with the professional republican apparatus who constructed a completely fabricated political hit against Paxton. As a consequence, it does not come as a surprise to see Representative Roy align with the professional republican, Ron DeSantis.

(LINK)

There is nothing “truly good or decent” about the DeSantis couple who would scheme, lie and connive with the billionaire donor class of Never Trumpers to deceive the Florida and national electorate.  Everything about the DeSantis operation is astroturf, fabricated, false and manipulative.

The time for half measures is no longer.  If we are to accept the great awakening, we can no longer provide quarter to those who would continue the era of battered conservative syndrome.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

― Taylor Caldwell, A Pillar of Iron

…”If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom – go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!”

The Shift to the Middle is Coming

Netherlands Dutch_Election

All the media is so anti-common sense that anyone who dares to take any contrary view is called “FAR RIGHT” as if they are Nazis. Never in all my years have I ever witnessed the mainstream media so FAR LEFT that they are destroying the very foundation of civilization, and they do not care. The position MUST be their view, and anything to the contrary is evil. This is NOT a free society, nor is this how civilizations are maintained. When you divide the nation in such a manner and impose your will by sheer dictatorship, the end is near.

TIME Magazine characterized the Dutch election as a “FAR RIGHT” victory. They want to exit the EU and retake their sovereignty. They are flooded with immigrants, and crime has soared all because Merkel opened the borders unilaterally. The EU was never asked to vote on this policy – NEVER. But if you dare object, you are the dangerous and evil FAR RIGHT. Friends there will not allow their daughter to walk to the bus station for fear she will be raped.

What the EU has done to the Dutch farmers is insane, and they are so braindead they fail to understand that the planet goes through cycles and reducing food production as we head into solar minimum risks food shortages and rising disease as well as starvation. But if you oppose that, you are now the evil FAR RIGHT. As they told the people, and they agreed, the Netherlands “has been seriously weakened due the ongoing asylum tsunami and mass immigration.” They also pledged to stop sending aid to Ukraine. Their country is being transformed into an Islamic State, and they called for a ban on the Quran and for shutting down mosques.  France is generally projected to be an Islamic nation within 40 years. Our computer shows that can happen as soon as 2032, thanks to an 8:1 birth rate in favor of Muslims. But if you want to retain Europe as a Christian continent, you are the dangerous evil FAR RIGHT.

The violence has already begun, from attempts to burn down Christian churches in Southern Europe to killing a 16-year-old boy, stabbing him to death, and injuring 17 others. The assailants declared, “We are here to stab white people’ before the rampage, according to a report. ” Mobs in Eastern Pakistan target Christian churches. In Jerusalem, extremist Jews were chanting, “Death to Arabs … Death to Christians.” Then, in Europe, there has been a surge in Quran burning in response to the influx of Muslims. We are looking at the beginning of a religious war brewing everywhere. This contributes to our Civil Unrest Model, which turned up here in 2023.

CNN also called Javier Milei the “FAR RIGHT” who won Argentina’s presidential elections. They reported that was “wrenching his country to the right with a bombastic anti-establishment campaign” and said that he was comparable to Donald Trump. They admitted that this was against the backdrop of one of the “world’s highest inflation rates.” Argentina once was the economic star until it turned left. But if it tries to improve the economy, it is the dangerous evil FAR RIGHT.

AfD_wins 6 26 23

In Bavaria, the press also reported that “FAR-RIGHT” Afd won back in June. So, unless you are for lockdowns, the war against Russia, high inflation, and the lowering of our living standards, then you are one of those loathful, FAR-RIGHT, dangerous people who must be eradicated and suppressed.

Anyone who wants to return just to normal life is now disgusting FAR-RIGHT. You have to support World War III, high taxes, end of lifestyle for climate change, and if you do not tell your son in 1st grade that maybe he is really a girl then you are guilty of child abuse, and your children should be taken from you by force.

Civilization Empires Rise Fall Armstrong

Any suggestion that we should return to when there was an immigration requirement and when transgender was a private decision not celebrated on a beer can, and we understood that Mother Nature had cycles all by herself and warming periods marked the rise in civilization and cold periods population declines and nations contracted, that is no longer middle ground; it is FAR RIGHT.

During the Panic of 1869, when they were dragging the bankers out and hanging them, which was the first BLACK FRIDAY, I fear when this all starts to come unglued after 2024, this time they will be dragging journalists out to the streets and hanging them for destroying civilization where both sides are supposed to co-exist.

IRS Pauses $600+ Transaction Audits


Posted riginally on Nov 24, 2023 By Martin Armstrong 

IRS building

Within the American Rescue Plan was a piece of legislation requiring Americans to report any transactions they made over $600. The most recent budget negotiation eliminated much of the additional funding for the IRS. The Biden Administration wanted to hire 87,000 new IRS agents and claimed they were solely targeting the rich. Not so coincidentally, directly after the recent IRS budget cut, the government announced that 2023 will be a “transition year,” and Americans will not need to report these small payments as of yet.

The plan will go into effect next year, but the minimum threshold will be raised from $600 to $5,000. All Americans will be required to file a 1099-K form to report additional earnings exceeding $5,000. Yet, businesses are already required to report on all their transactions. “We spent many months gathering feedback from third-party groups and others, and it became increasingly clear we need additional time to effectively implement the new reporting requirements,” IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel said.

600 IRS Audit

Targeting a $600 payment or even a $5,000 payment is not going to target the billionaire class. Do you think people like Elon Musk are selling a bike on eBay for $600 and refraining from paying taxes? They are directly looking to target middle America with these restrictions. Taxes simply never go down as the government feels entitled to a portion of every penny you earn.

Now this news also comes directly after Biden’s approval rating plummeted into negative territory. They do not want to anger the people ahead of the election. Should we simply pay our taxes to Israel and Ukraine this tax season? People would realize how trivial those $600+ payments were after the government audits the local babysitter for not reporting her income or asks grandma to itemize her yard sale earnings. The government overreach would be blatant enough to wake up the most loyal Biden supporter.

They know that digital currency will soon roll out, providing them with the ability to track all of our transactions easily. This is one of the reasons that governments globally are moving towards a cashless society. It is still curious as to why the IRS has an armed branch that is trained in  “firearms, defensive tactics, and building entry.” They are merely buying time before declaring

Germany the Crisis in the Making

Germany PPI Energy Crisis 11 22 23

COMMENT: Marty, Germany is following your forecast, and even the courts just ruled that moving money from one designated purpose to another is unconstitutional. When will Germany wake up? Ukraine is destroying Europe, and they were the culprits that blew up the Nord Stream to hurt Russia but did more economic damage to Germany. Then Zelensky wants us to keep handing him money after he was responsible for our energy crisis. It is just unimaginable how idiots occupy our government.

AD

German Federal Supreme Court

REPLY: The high court in Germany ruled that the supplementary 2021 budget that they amended was a violation of the Basic Law and thereafter, unconstitutional. The court’s decision was interesting that the government failed to demonstrate the necessary connection between the COVID emergency and shifting it into the Energy and Climate Fund. Germany was then forced to freeze public spending for the balance of the year. Germany has a rule that limits the rise in debt by limiting the annual deficits because they still think that increasing the money supply created the hyperinflation of the 1920s – a very shallow linear analysis.

Germany PPI Array 11 22 23

We have had a back-to-back Directional Change here in 2022/2023. We can see that the PPI is relaxing from the 2022 high, but 2023/2024 should be the low. We have a Panic Cycle in 2025, and from there into 2032, the damage of all this nonsense with Ukraine will destroy Europe and then the Middle East will engulf Europe internally.

Merkel Welcome

Merkel’s decision to open the borders, as Biden has done, will undermine Europe and destroy its culture. Europe will not be the same after 2032. It is rapidly being transformed into the old Ottoman Empire conquered this time from within. The religious violence has already begun, and this is where the entire Middle East conflict will spill over into the rest of the world.

1524 Peasants War Protestant Reformation Eticing 2

Europe has been engulfed in religious wars many times. Even Communism was a religious war, whereby it was atheism. Even the French Revolution involved seizing all the property of the Catholic Church and Napoleon even imprisoned the Poper.  This is precisely on time, for it is 340 years from the last attempt of the Ottoman Empire to conquer Europe in 1683.

Geert Wilders Wins Bigly in Netherlands


Posted originally 0n the CTH on November 23, 2023 | Sundance 

It was Christmas 2009, when the Massachusetts Democrat party filled with hubris and complacency scoffed at the idea that the seat of Ted Kennedy would ever be challenged by Republicans.  However, a group of patriots worked tirelessly and quietly throughout the holiday season to change the dynamic.  No one saw it coming, Scott Brown won.

In 2023 another group in the Netherlands took the same quiet and deliberate approach.  Again, no one saw it coming but Geert Wilders is now on track to be the next prime minister.

The Party for Freedom (PVV) won 37 seats in Parliament and now stand as the largest political force in the country.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Anti-Islam populist Geert Wilders said Thursday that he is ready to join the next Dutch coalition government after he surged to a huge election victory that marked a stunning lurch to the far right for a nation once famed as a beacon of tolerance.

The result is sending shockwaves through Europe, where extremist nationalist ideology is putting pressure on democracies that now face the possibility of having to deal with the first far-right prime minister of the Netherlands.

“It is going to happen that the PVV is in the next Cabinet,” Wilders said, using the Dutch abbreviation for his Party for Freedom.

With nearly all votes counted, Wilders’ party was forecast to win 37 seats in the 150-seat lower house of parliament, more than double the 17 the party secured in the last election.

[…]  Wilders’ election program included calls for a referendum on the Netherlands leaving the European Union, a total halt to accepting asylum-seekers and migrant pushbacks at Dutch borders.

It also advocates the “de-Islamization” of the Netherlands. He says he wants no mosques or Islamic schools in the country, although he has been milder about Islam during this election campaign than in the past.

[…]  In his victory speech, Wilders said he wants to end what he called the “asylum tsunami,” referring to the migration issue that came to dominate his campaign.  “The Dutch will be No. 1 again,” Wilders said. “The people must get their nation back.”  (read more)
