Perhaps you will recall when Edward Snowden exposed the truth that the government was spying on American citizens, they called him a traitor and want to imprison him for life or even execute him for revealing that the government no longer complies with the Constitution.
Absolutely NOTHING came out of that and the government claimed it was Snowden who was risking national security. Now with everything coming out from Twitter, the same thing is taking place at YouTube, Google, Microsoft, you name it. That little backdoor that Microsoft uses with these endless updates to see what you are searching supposedly for target advertising, you can bet your life that also includes the very same scheme.
And these are the people pushing us into World War and they are desperate to misrepresent absolutely everything. Zelensky is destroying his own country and he will live comfortably with a golden deal with the USA when the final collapse unfolds in Ukraine. These people have no regard for human rights no less our constitutional rights. They think they will rule the world, but our computer shows they will destroy everything and they will not retain power. But naturally, they do not want to hear that.
QUESTION: Someone I know said he had spoken to you and you said Trump would not be the nominee in 2024. Is that true? Can you elaborate?
Thanks

ANSWER: I do not believe that Trump will be the Republican nominee. That will probably be Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. I have said that some old friends in DC contacted me and they asked me if I would talk to Trump against his running in 2024 and if I would advise DeSantis. My response was no. I said if I got back into the political game, I would tell DeSantis not to run for they would eat him for lunch in DC.
I know they have done an extraordinary character assassination of Trump. The onslaught of legal cases against him and the nonsense of the January 6th investigation was all predesigned to prevent him from running ever again. Why? Because he is an outsider and he now understands that he was played. The SWAMP is on both sides, so you will find many Republicans like things as corrupt as they are.
There is no getting out of this crisis. ALL those in Washington are no different than a horse in the central park walking the streets with blinders on so they only see what is in front of their face.
As I have said, NOBODY has tried to defeat my model more than me. I have learned that there is NO politician who gives a damn about the long-term. They are ONLY interested in the next story or election. I was cheered on Capitol Hill when I visited in 2011 as this is the guy with the model they have been trying to suppress. Yet, nobody will take any action for the long-term.
They will try to push war during the summer of 2024 to influence the election. If Trump runs, I think it will be as an independent. He is hated by career politicians on both sides.
Kari Lake dared to bring a lawsuit against Arizona officials for manipulating the outcome of the 2022 gubernatorial election. Last Saturday, despite affirming the numerous issues in the election, a Maricopa judge ruled Ms. Lake failed to prove malicious intent for the failed electronic voting systems and broken chain of custody issues.
Without an admission of intent, and without evidence to prove to a demonstrable certainty the errors, mistakes and broken election procedures were intended to influence the election outcome, Judge Peter Thompson ruled against the challenge and asked the defense team to provide him with a list of sanctions against the Lake campaign.
Today, the team of Katie Hobbs asked the court for $25,050 in fines against Kari Lake and other penalties and fines the court may deem necessary to punish the plaintiff for challenging a duly certified election result. [Today Court Filing Here]
(Via NBC) – […] Hobbs and the county asked for sanctions against Lake and her legal team after an Arizona judge denied Lake’s bid to reverse the results of the November election in a two-day trial. Lake, a prominent election denier and Trump ally, was allowed to go to trial last week with two of her 10 claims, which alleged misconduct with ballot printers and problems with ballot chain of custody.
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson denied Lake’s challenge after the trial in a 10-page ruling Saturday. He said the court did not find clear and convincing evidence of misconduct that would have changed the election results. Thompson also noted that the defendants had stated their intention to seek sanctions against Lake and ordered them to file a motion for sanctions by Monday morning.
Attorneys for Hobbs, who has been Arizona’s secretary of state for four years, joined the county in its filing Monday seeking $25,050 from Lake, which includes attorney fees for Hobbs and the state’s most populous county. The county took aim at Lake’s remarks before the election indicating she would not accept the results unless she won, as well as her “groundless” and “frivolous” lawsuit after the election was certified.

I’m a little surprised Mrs. Hobbs did not request 1,000 hrs of indentured servitude against Mrs. Lake, whereby the plaintiff would be forced to cook, clean and do other domestic chores for the wounded Mrs. Hobbs. Then again, I probably shouldn’t give them any ideas. FUBAR
Watch the video above or click here to watch my most recent interview with Greg Hunter from USAWatchdog:
This is a video of Zelensky before he became President. He married a Christian girl and his children were baptized Christians. He suddenly became a Jew when soliciting money from Israel. List to his jokes. It is funny to rob the property of both Russian and Jews. The systemic ethnic hatred in Ukraine will prevent any peace. They live for the day of total annihilation of every Russian in Ukraine and in Russia. So as we head into Christmas, be careful who you think is such a hero. This is no different from what drove the Nazis to ethnic cleansing. Ukraine is notorious for that against anyone other than pure-blood Ukrainian. This is the man we will destroy our lives for. I suppose we deserve it.
COMMENT: I just want to say that Socrates was the only correct forecast for the elections. It said the Republicans would take the House but not the Senate and there would be no red wave. I appreciate the nonbiased views that are refreshing.
Keep up the good work

REPLY: If we put aside personal desires and the fact that people tend to judge others by themselves, just looking at the numbers will always reveal the truth. What is taking place is propaganda and the further division of the country. Just look at these charts which are the total number of seats on Capitol Hill occupied by each party as a percentage of the total. You can see that the Democrats are well below the Downtrend Line and the Republicans just edged ever so slightly above their 50.65% against 50.57%.
When I have warned that Socrates is forecasting this is the fall of socialism, this is not my personal opinion. The Democrats have been losing ground. Holding a majority and ramrodding through their agenda with less than a 51% holding is seriously destroying the country and it is creating such a deep fissure that there will be no choice but to watch the United States crumble. There are plenty of unheard separatist movements in the United States. There is a big one in California to break up the state, but there was also a movement that wanted to separate from the United States if Trump was reelected. Then since 2014, there has been a growing movement to separate New York City that wants nothing to do with New York City. Even going back to 2012, there were petitions involving 36 states where people wanted to secede from the United States. All of these tensions will increase dramatically starting in 2023 into the capitulation by 2032.
President Trump released a video statement today about the Democrats in the Congressional Ways and Means Committee releasing his private tax returns. {Direct Rumble link}.
As outlined by President Trump, the tax returns show ordinary, albeit financially complex, income and losses as customary for any large business. However, now that the precedent has been set by Congress, Donald Trump asks the same committee to release the same tax filings of the Biden family so that a comparative dive into the financial holdings of Joe Biden can be conducted. WATCH:
Perhaps the #1 question I see raised in our discussion is a variation on “what are we going to do about it?”
It is a profoundly understandable question, yet it would take volumes of manuscript and dozens of hours of conversation to adequately answer. That said, the reason for the complexity of the answer is very simple.
Approximately, 72% of a healthy adult American population took an experimental COVID-19 shot as recommended by, and later demanded by, government. That’s essentially 3 out of every four Americans.
In a recent poll of the 190,000 followers to CTH on Twitter, we asked did you take the shot? More than 80% of the respondents said no.
In a national population where approximately 1 out of every 4 declined the shot, the CTH audience consists of a population where 4 out of 5 declined the shot. The CTH audience is essentially the inverse of the national population. This is a context for looking at the original question.
The proverbial ‘we’ are in agreement as to the scope of the national problem. However, ‘we’ in the larger context are in the minority. That doesn’t mean we are powerless, nor does it mean we cannot affect the change we desire. However, that context does structure the nature of the challenge, and form the baseline for any proposal that would be considered an answer.
Again, in general terms, CTH readers are far ahead in understanding the scale of the problem as compared to the general population. It has been more than a decade since we first outlined the corrupt nature of the Dept of Justice and the specific political activity of the FBI as it was happening. At the time, people said we were nuts; generally saying we took analysis of how the domestic intelligence state was corrupted by politics, too far.
Well, here we are a decade later and the larger population of the American people are now openly accepting the DOJ, FBI and Intelligence Community are corrupted by politics. The very small minority position is now the slightly larger majority position. But it took a decade.
How long did it take the majority to realize ‘ballots’ -vs- ‘votes’ was a real problem? We have had THREE election cycles decided by ballot collection. The BETA test in California (2018 midterm), the national ballot collection rollout in 2020, and finally the midterm election in 2022. Five years since the original data showed ‘ballots’ were the election control mechanism, not ‘votes’. Now, people are awake to the problem, but again it took five years.
Another example: Take the basic construct of our UniParty political system…
♦The RNC wants money.
♠The DNC wants power.
♦The RNC uses power to get money.
♠The DNC uses money to get power.
♦The donor activity of the RNC drives their ideology.
♠The ideology of the DNC drives their donor activity.
This is the essential difference in the two private corporations’ political business models. It is a very nuanced distinction, but it is a distinction. Nothing within that system can change until the people who engage in that system admit this is the system. Right now, less than 10% (my estimation) of the Republican Party followers understand this.
Most self-admitted Republicans think that by changing the head of the RNC, the corporation will adapt a new business model. The majority of those believers are willing to support an RNC corporation insider like Harmeet Dhillon as the change agent. The history of the Club does not support this expectation, yet they believe it.
Now, the audience of those willing to be deceived is a flexible group in terms of numbers and identities. Even those who have been in that audience for some time may one day walk away from it. What is it that makes folks stay in that audience? What price are they afraid of paying? What deception are they unwilling to let go of?
While we use the word passive to describe this “willingness to continue in deception,” this is not an experience shaded in peaceful lavenders, mint greens and dappled sunlight. This is the deadly passivity of muscles that no longer fire; tiny electrical charges that no longer leap from one synapse to the next.
This is as passivity says: “I won’t begin resisting, because I know that once begun, I must continue. Rather than assert myself and perhaps fail (or get really scared), I will sustain myself where I am trapped. I will muffle my moans so as not to risk exposure, and I will call it self-control. Winston Churchill would have called it cowardice, but I will call it pragmatic caution.”
And within that framework, there’s the answer to the question, “What are we going to do about it?”
The very first step that’s desperately necessary for our survival, is that we become disillusioned–and quickly. We must stop pretending.
In the interim, if you are one of the 1 in 4 independent-minded Americans, you need to think about your home, the physical surroundings of yourself and your community, as the Alamo.
Fortify your defenses literally in your family.
Then, only if your home is secure, move forward using tactical civics to influence the local election level, city council, school boards, sheriff, judges etc. Each of these local level engagements should be looked upon as setting perimeter defenses against federal and state intrusion.
Once you are confident in your home and family security, and once you have established the safe perimeter to keep your community guarded, then you expand to the larger state offices, via state legislature, state senate and state governor.
Through this process you are constantly leveraging the majority. You are not in the minority within your home; and hopefully you will not be in the minority within your county.
If you are stuck in a blue region, retain the disposition of an insurgent. The rebellion can formulate underground.
You have the better arguments; you believe in freedom. Continued assembly-building will gain the numbers needed to be in the majority.
Keep focused on spreading disillusionment by using the atomic sledgehammer of truth. Never accept the false pretenses that underpin the status quo. The opposition’s arguments are weak, and they are built upon fraud. They require a constant pretending. Denial of truth permits easier trespass.
Use truth as a weapon by learning the core issues better than the other side. Read the history of how events unfolded. Learn the hidden constructs behind the motives carried by those who created the events. Learn their arguments and learn how to deconstruct them.
Then, when you are intellectually armed and fully prepared, openly stop pretending and ask the questions in public that will awaken the audience around you.
