105 House Republicans Voted with Democrats to Expel Representative George Santos, Final Vote 311-114


Posted originally on the CTH on December 1, 2023 | Sundance 

Apparently 105 Republican members of Congress have decided that “due process” is no longer needed for anyone who stands accused.  Regardless of how you feel about New York Representative George Santos, the expulsion from Congress, without any judicial or court hearing, is a remarkable development.

The final vote was 311 for, with 114 against expulsion. Reps. Jonathan Jackson (D-Ill.) and Al Green (D-Texas) voted “present,” and Reps. Bobby Scott (D-Va.) and Nikema Williams (D-Ga.) voted against the measure.

Santos becomes the first Republican ever expelled from Congress and only the sixth member in history to suffer such a fate.

A special election will be held in New York CD-03 to replace him.  The Republican House majority now sinks to four seats if all members are present.

Democrats rally around their accused with political ferocity.  However, the jellyfish Republicans can never elevate to see the bigger picture.  The big winner in this outcome are House Democrats who can now strategically use the small majority to defeat Republican legislation.

WASHINGTON DC – Top GOP lawmakers have a new problem on their hands: Rank and file Republicans frustrated with their leaders’ late-game opposition to expelling George Santos.

The New York Republican’s intra-party critics finally succeeded Friday in their push to expel their indicted colleague. They prevailed despite the opposition of all four top House Republican leaders, who lined up in the 24 hours before his ejection to say they would support keeping Santos in office.

Republican leaders also didn’t whip votes against Santos, arguing that his expulsion was a vote of conscience. In the end, their members split almost evenly — 105 voted to bounce him and 112 voted not to. But some who voted to expel took issue with their leaders’ decision to come out as opponents of expulsion at the last minute, warning that it risked looking like an attempt to tip the scales for Santos.

Rep. Steve Womack (R-Ark.) said he was “very disappointed” with how GOP leaders handled the vote.

“Too many people, including leadership, were using excuses that simply cannot be successfully argued with everyday Americans,” Womack said in an interview. “Had leadership had its way, we would have reset the bar on standards of conduct at a level that we would live to regret.”

Womack, a respected senior appropriator, added that “I am thankful that there were enough thoughtful members of Congress, on both sides of the aisle, that recognize that there was only one course of action here.” (read more)

The Republican wing of the Uniparty are experts at losing while proclaiming they held on to their principles.

Santos deserved due process.  However, if you look at the litany of Republicans who voted against him, you will discover the same aligned names were with the Nancy Pelosi impeachment effort against Donald Trump.

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

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.

[Source With Attachments]

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?

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 CaldwellA 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!”

Class-Action Lawsuit Filed on Behalf of US Troops Discharged for Refusing Vaccine


Posted originally on Nov 22, 2023 By Martin Armstrong

Remember when the US government discharged 100,000 troops who refused to take the vaccine? They did so at a time when recruitment was at an all-time low and effectively prevented many from ever serving the country. Now, discharged troops are suing the Biden Administration for lost wages and benefits.

This has become a class-action lawsuit and anyone who was wrongfully terminated may join by clicking here. “This is the greatest reduction in force since the end of the Cold War and likely the greatest self-inflicted threat to national security and military readiness in our Nation’s history as we face the prospect of war with rival superpowers on multiple fronts around the world,” the case summary states. “Congress saw the damage that this was doing to our military and national security and ordered the military to rescind the mandate in January 2023. Unfortunately, Congress did not explicitly order the military to provide backpay and financial compensation for all the service members and veterans harmed by DoD COVID-19 mandates.”

UncleSam Cliff R

The lawsuit acknowledges that the vaccine was “unlicensed” and “experimental.” Dale Saran, a retired Marine, and Andy Meyer and Brandon Johnson are joining forces to fight for our service men and women. Saran believes the backpay will cost the government billions. “They were basically [without] the benefit of any due process. No boards were held. They didn’t hold any administrative separation boards; they didn’t hold any hearings. They didn’t do any federal recognition boards; none of the administrative or judicial procedures were used. They just flat-out did it. And then…they got the Coast Guard to follow along, and they got a bunch of Coasties too,” Saran said. He also stated that the defense secretary’s original order only required military members to take licensed vaccinations.

Saran has represented troops who were forced to take the anthrax vaccine in the late 90s and early 2000s. “[H]ere we are, second go around again, 15 years in, and we’re right back at the mass vaccination of unlicensed vaccines like the government didn’t learn last time. So, nothing new under the sun,” he stated.

Yet now the US government is begging troops to return and fight their endless wars. The US Army had the audacity to send letters to former service members who they fired for refusing the poison, begging them to return. “[A]s a result of the rescission of all current COVID-19 vaccination requirements, former Soldiers who were involuntarily separated for refusal to receive the COVID-19 vaccination may request a correction of their military records from either or both the Army Discharge Review Board (ADRB) or the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR),” the letter, which was sent a week after Veteran’s Day, noted. The Army has been reduced from 485,000 to 452,000 members, marking the smallest active duty Army since 1940. Only 23% of people aged 17 to 24 qualify to serve, and that is after the military reduced standards for recruitment.

Based on how the government treats our troops, I do not believe they will see any meaningful spike in recruitment. No one feels passionately about these foreign wars that do not aid America. The military will soon be composed of illegal migrants wishing to stay in the US.

The Pentagon Fails Another Audit – Trillions Missing


Posted originally on Nov 21, 2023 By Martin Armstrong 

Pentagon

They say the Pentagon is the government’s favorite money laundering tool for a reason. It is comical that they even attempt to audit the Pentagon when they know the agency will fail miserably. The government spent $187 million to conduct the meaningless audit at 700 locations. This year, as with the year prior, only 7 of the 29 sub-audits passed. HALF of the claimed assets were nowhere to be found by the 1,600 hired auditors. How does trillions of dollars disappear?

Trillions have gone missing since pre-9/11. There is no ongoing investigation into finding the whereabouts of these funds that belong to taxpaying citizens. The September 11, 2001, attack occurred one day after former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld sounded the alarm bells and notified the public that $2.3 trillion in transactions could not be traced. The WTC7 demolition on 9/11 destroyed the room where the Pentagon audit was taking place and also happened to be the location of my computer system. I received from the SEC explaining that everything had simply been destroyed and no further questions were permitted.

SEC World Trade Center WTC7

That was only the tip of the Pentagon’s long history of misplacing TRILLIONS. In May, the Pentagon admitted that it misplaced thousands of F-35 jet parts to the tune of $1.6 trillion. Then in June, the Pentagon announced that it had misplaced over $6.2 billion in funds destined for Ukraine. “We have confirmed that for FY23, the final calculation is $3.6 billion, and for FY22 it is $2.6 billion, for a combined total of $6.2 billion,” the Pentagon press secretary said. “These valuation errors in no way limit or restricted the size of any of our PDAs or impacted the provision of support to Ukraine.” They chalked up the missing funds to an “accounting error” and never touched on the situation again. The press secretary stated that their main concern was simply their ability to continue funneling money to Ukraine.

Lloyd Austin has been the Secretary of Defense since January 2021. Instead of focusing on his duties at home, Austin traveled to Ukraine days after the failed audit to pledge his support to Zelensky. “We will remain with you for the long-haul. What happened here in Ukraine – that not only matters to Ukraine but it matters to the rest of the world. It certainly matters to the United States of America,” he stated.

We are pledging more money to foreign nations despite trillions vanishing. These funds are taken from hardworking Americans and used by the globalists to fund their own self-interests rather than we the people. This amount of money could end hunger, water shortages, homelessness, improve education, and fix our broken infrastructure. Everything they do is deliberate – they have no desire to help the people since that is not in their self-interest. We must question why most of the country is financially struggling, living paycheck to paycheck while receiving nothing in return.

Videos Prove January 6 was an Inside Job


Posted originally on Nov 21, 2023 By Martin Armstrong  

House Speaker Mike Johnson plans to release all of the hidden footage from the January 6 planned insurrection. We know from countless sources that the FBI was on the ground that day and hiding within the crowd. Ray Epps urged the protesters to go inside the building, and the following day, someone opened the doors and encouraged the protesters to enter the building. Kamala Harris has likened January 6 to Pearl Harbor and 9/11. Joe Biden is using footage from that day in his latest campaign ads, as the left wants the mindless sheep to believe that “MAGA extremists are the biggest threat to our country.”

The footage is being leaked incrementally, but it is clear that the people sitting in jail are political prisoners. Similar to other ruthless dictators, Joe Biden wanted to stifle those questioning the 2020 election results. He publicly arrested anyone remotely close to the Capitol building to use as examples. “This decision will provide millions of Americans, criminal defendants, public interest organizations, and the media an ability to see for themselves what happened that day, rather than having to rely upon the interpretation of a small group of government officials,” Johnson said on his decision to release the footage.

The protestors did not harm anyone, and yet the court of law views them as domestic terrorists who no longer belong in society. The DOJ arrested 1,200 people; 800 have been found guilty and 700 have been sentenced. Of those 700, two-thirds were given prison sentences, with some receiving a sentence of 22 years behind bars. Around half a dozen people involved committed suicide because they fear prosecution. These Americans are POLITICAL PRISONERS suffering under the brutality of the Biden regime. This is no different from someone like Kim Jung-Un arresting someone for not hanging his picture on the wall of their home and explaining to the public that they were an enemy of North Korea for their actions.

The neocons on both sides were in on the planned and staged “riot.” “Why didn’t Liz Cheney and Adam Kizinger ever refer to any of these tapes? Maybe they never looked for them. Maybe they never even questioned their own narrative. Maybe they were just too busy selectively leaking the text messages of Republicans they wanted to defeat,” Senator Mike Lee questioned.

“The J6 committee was a sham,” Texas Republican Rep. Troy Nehls said on X. “I knew it then. Everyone knows it now. Let’s investigate the investigators.” We cannot allow the Biden regime to lock up those who disagree. It may start with the J6 protestors, but soon they will come after anyone who disagrees if they believe they can get away with such a perverse abuse of power.
