What Comes After Amen…

A few days ago, I wrote an allegory, “Rise Up Old Mules“, with the full intention of reviewing comments and following up the next day to see if people still held the knowledge of coded writing. [Idalia delayed my review]

An allegory is a literary work that makes extensive use of symbolism in order to communicate a broader moral or meaning. Nearly every aspect of an allegory—from characters, to objects, to dialogue, to settings, to major plot events—can typically be interpreted as having a secondary, symbolic meaning that fits into the allegory’s broader meaning. 

In the writing of our forefathers, and even many writings long before and a few still today, allegories were/are used to convey messages publicly that are interpreted with a silent understanding. They were/are essentially coded messages from rebels, insurgent dissidents, in various societies who were working within the boundaries of government review.

You may have vague reference points from similar formats of communication that took place in various prisoner of war camps.

How do POWs communicate when their captors are constantly monitoring their activity?  The never spoken language of POW’s in a prison camp has a similar allegorical communication style.

The best allegories communicate from a factual reference point about subject matter, but then weave the current context or power conflict within it so as not to attract the understanding of censors, monitors or those in power who seek to stop any form of communication that is against the interests of the oppressive regime.

It is a communication style lost over time as successive generations no longer taught or had need for the skillset to understand the implied message.  However, in this modern era where six corporations control all media; where there is direct collaboration between the government censors and social media platforms over content; where arbiters of acceptable speech under the auspices of “disinformation review panels” are now deployed using both human review and automated intelligence; it is worthwhile revisiting the old ways to understand a method of discussing rebellion in public.

There is one big benefit to the deployment of AI search spiders crawling all over the internet to analyze and identify subversive speech.  AI cannot detect allegorical writing patterns, it never will.  Current AI sweeps, crawls and searches are based on human inputs to create the pattern context the AI is launched to discover.

Y’all know, I test weird stuff in the tech communication space just to probe how effective the new mechanics are, and create strategies around their constructs.  Allegorical writing was designed to communicate subversive information in the sunlight of public presentation.  Historically, human censors could not see the implied meaning in allegorical communication, and the content itself – if correctly structured – carries an inherent deniability.

From my review, about half (+/-) CTH readers understood the implied meaning, about half did not.  Approximately 10% were absolutely clueless, and a few even found the inverse meaning within the story.

Approximately half of the CTH audience picking up the implications within an allegory is much better than I expected, much better.  This is an interesting outcome, although given the high intelligence and specific demographics of the CTH family it makes sense.

My point is this: teach your friends and family, especially the younger family members, how to understand coded public messaging and what context frames the cornerstone of how it is delivered.

The old ways are going to be important if a few strategically placed voices are going to be forced to mount a successful counterinsurgency against an entire UniParty system, that aligns with an oppressive regime.

Mules = soldiers.

Exceptional Mules = special forces.

Collars = rifles.

The silent wise men at auction = leadership (think founding fathers).

The fields = the battles.

The farmers = YOU!

The Caplan Suit to Bar Trump Using the 14th Amendment


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Aug 27, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Caplan Lawsuit

Many emails have come in about Lawrence A. Caplan filing this Declaratory judgment to ban Trump from running for President under the pretense of the 14th Amendment. In his filing, he is clever to state that he admits he was a member of the State Bar of California, but then states “Petitioner has never been sanctioned or suspended by any court” but it appears he may be stripped of his license to practice law in California if this is indeed the same Laerence Allen Caplan. Apparently, his photo appears nowhere, which is rather strange as well.

CANONS OF CONSTRUCTION

That said, Caplan argues that no conviction is necessary and that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is self-executing, which is a real stretch. The words must be given the meaning they had when the text was adopted. This is probably the most overlooked canon of Construction ever.

This entire Section 3 was retributive against anyone in the Confederacy. It was deliberately excluding what they saw as anti-constitutional subversives from office to seek retributive justice. It was in itself anti-democratic and unconstitutional. It removes a constituency’s chosen representative while doing nothing to address the sentiments that such a constituency may still hold. Had they gone along with everyone else in the Confederacy, that was good enough. That itself violated Due Process and the civil rights of those who voted for the individual.

Congress eventually, with a clear head realized this in itself violated the Constitution and effectively subjugated the South as if they were now the slaves of the North with no rights whatsoever. Congress, with a clearer head, passed the Amnesty Act of 1872, removing all the implications of Section 3. The manner in which Capaln attempts to use this to prevent Trump from holding office is clearly politically motivated, and in reality, Section 3 is questionable as to its Constitutional status. I am shocked that no lawyers seem to have taken up this argument. If one’s political beliefs can be a bar to holding office, then we cannot have a Constitutional government supported by the First Amendment and the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment.

The 14th Amendment Section I also stated that the Due Process Clause applies to the States:

“No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

How can Section 3 afford no due process and equal protection? It cannot negate Section 1 rendering that overruled. Caplan argues it is self-enforcing, and a mere allegation means Trump cannot ever hold office. This is really unconstitutional concerning Caplan’s argument. You cannot interpret Section 3, which creates a legal absurdity. He states:

Any number of top legal scholars, including but not limited to Judge Luttig and Laurence
Tribe conclude that Section 3 requires absolutely no legislation, criminal conviction or other
judicial action to enforce its command. In legal terms, Section 3 is completely “self-executing”.

What Caplan has filed, I believe, is just a continuation of this legal persecution that justified the American Revolution. It is borderline frivolous to grant the interpretation of the 14th Amendment bars Trump with a mere allegation that violates both Due Process of law and the First Amendment. Caplan has the audacity to argue that with Trump merely being charged is good enough, and this clause bars him with simply an allegation. Is Caplan seeking to ensure the Neocons rule?  This rejects the foundation of our claimed Rule of Law that one is innocent until proven guilty. This argument in itself violates Due Process of Law. It is denying Trump even a right to be heard.  One clause in the  Constitution cannot be interpreted, so it violates another. This leads to absurdity.

The Supreme Court held in US v Lanier, 520 US 259, 266 (1997) that “due process bars courts from applying a novel construction of a criminal statute to conduct that neither the statute nor any prior judicial decision has fairly disclosed to be within its scope. “

The press is NOT reporting that there have already been Section 3 cases that have generated two state and three federal judicial rulings. These are the first rulings on Section 3 in 150 years. There was even one fact-finding hearing before a Georgia administrative law judge trying to bar Rep. Marjory Greene. That produced a very inciteful written decision as well. Judge Charles Beaudrot concluded in a ruling later affirmed by Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger:

Her public statements and heated rhetoric may well have contributed to the environment that ultimately led to the Invasion. . . . But expressing constitutionally-protected political views, no matter how aberrant they may be . . . . is not engaging in insurrection under the 14th Amendment.

On June 3, 2023, yet another federal judge in the Eastern District of Wisconsin dismissed three more challenges that were attempts to prohibit Sen. Ron Johnson, Rep. Tom Tiffany, and Rep. Scott L. Fitzgerald from being elected. The press is not reporting that this argument has failed in every court it has been presented. These are attempts to violate everyone’s civil rights by overthrowing elections. Only the CIA is allowed to do such things.

To add to the legal nightmare, Article l, Section 5, actually bars Section 3 challenges to U.S. senators and representatives, and it casts doubt that it could ever be self-executing. That provision states that “Each House shall be the Judge of the . . . Qualifications of its own Members.” Under this clause, each of these bodies has exclusive power to decide a Section 3 challenge to one of its own. Clearly, when the 14th Amendment was passed, it could not overrule Article I, Section 5. There is no evidence that Section 3 is self-executing, so who decides? Congress or the Courts?

There is one case involving Section 3 from the period of the Red Scare following the Russian Revolution. This was the case of Victor Berger, who was a socialist from Wisconsin. Berger won a seat in Congress in 1910 and then again in 1918. Following his first term in Congress, he spoke out stridently against American involvement in World War I. The House voted 311-1 to exclude Berger from holding a seat, claiming he gave aid and comfort to America’s enemies by merely his political speech. Four years later, he was reelected, and the Supreme Court vacated his conviction under the Espionage Act, which they have tried to use against Trump. The 1919 exclusion of Berger from Congress was a constitutional violation based on the rhetoric of the Red Scare-era excesses, much as we have seen calling January 6th an unarmed insurrection, which is absurd, or the COVID-19 hysteria, which they will bring back to control civil unrest. The Berger case illustrates the dangers of construing Section 3 too broadly as they are doing right now.

More than 1,033 people have been arrested for storming the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021. None have been charged with 18 USC §2383. Rebellion or insurrection. Their charges have been ranging from obstruction of an official proceeding to assault. There are statutes on Rebellion and Insurrection. Nobody is charged with that, and these filing against Trump and others calling it an insurrection are frivolous and clearly an abuse of process.

18 USC §2383. Rebellion or insurrection

Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 808 Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, §330016(1)(L), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147 .)

This statute prohibits the incitement, assistance, and participation in a rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States and its laws. The punishment for this crime is a fine, a maximum sentence of 10 years in federal prison, and ineligibility for public office.

REBELLION and INSURRECTION refer expressly to acts of violence against the state or its officers. This distinguishes the crime from SEDITION,  which is the organized incitement to rebellion or civil disorder against the state’s authority. It also separates the crime from TREASON, which is the violation of allegiance owed to one’s country by betrayal or acting to aid the country’s enemies.

We must understand that these crimes are easily confused, but if the party wasn’t acting on behalf of (or giving aid to) a foreign government, they really cannot be charged with treason, as some accused Edward Snowden. Calls to rise up against the authority of the government by staging non-violent protests and strikes would fall more into the category of sedition. Nonetheless, that would not be considered rebellion or insurrection unless the incitement included calls for violent acts such as the destruction of government property or the assault of state officers.

None of the more than 1,000 people the government is punishing simply because they were Trump supporters have been charged with rebellion or insurrection. They were UNARMED, and the videos clearly show that the capital police even escorted them in. There were government agents all intermixed, and the videos confirm that. This was orchestrated to use this 14th Amendment to prevent Trump from ever running again, no different than the Weapons of Mass Destruction that never existed or, as Johnson said, we were never attacked by Vietnam. They wanted war and lied about that as well. Or the 1962 Project Northwoods proposal, in which the CIA wanted to kill Americans to justify invading Cuba, Kennedy rejected.

Here We Go Again – CNN Promotes US Intel Report of Russian Disinformation


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

Today is a good time to remind everyone that CNN represents the public relations arm of the U.S State Department.

Two overlays: first, most non-U.S. government entities regard CNN as the state run media for the U.S. State Department, because it is. Second, the U.S. State Dept is the umbrella organization for most global CIA operations. In essence, the intel community reports that surface from CNN are from the State Dept/CIA.

In this latest example, the unnamed U.S. intelligence officials are once again promoting the proactive narrative that Russian FSB services are responsible for manipulating smaller networks of U.S. social media accounts, resulting in a disinformation program that flows upwards into mainstream media.

I find it interesting that the State Dept/CIA would push this narrative immediately following the suspicious reports of Yevgeny Prigozhin killed in a plane crash.

Washington, CNN – Russian intelligence is operating a systematic program to launder pro-Kremlin propaganda through private relationships between Russian operatives and unwitting US and western targets, according to newly declassified US intelligence.

US intelligence agencies believe that the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) is attempting to influence public policy and public opinion in the West by directing Russian civilians to build relationships with influential US and Western individuals and then disseminate narratives that support Kremlin objectives, obscuring the FSB’s role through layers of ostensibly independent actors.

“These influence operations are designed to be deliberately small scale, the overall goal being US [and] Western persons presenting these ideas, seemingly organic,” a US official authorized to discuss the material told CNN. “The co-optee influence operations are built primarily on personal relationships … they build trust with them and then they can leverage that to covertly push the FSB’s agenda.” (read more)

Of course, none of the article citations bear any fruit when reviewed.  However, that’s really not the point of the publication.  The point of CNN pushing the narrative is to support a domestic narrative engineering operation that will later surface.

A Permanent Stain on Our Republic – Rudy Giuliani Speaks After His Arrest in Fulton County, Georgia


Posted originally on the CTH on August 24, 2023 | Sundance 

There is no way to look at these events and not find us looking mournfully at the shattered remnants of the American judicial system.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the man who cleaned up New York City, removed the crime syndicate from power and held the prayerful hands of our nation during 9/11/01, is brought before a corrupt judicial system in Fulton County, Georgia, treated like a common criminal and targeted because of his politics.

This is shameful beyond words.

.

Ephesians 6:12-18: “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness; and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”

Perfect – Everything in the First Loser Fox News Debate Summarized in One Singular Moment – Clowns to the Left, Jokers to the Right


Posted Originally on the CTH on August 23, 2023 | Sundance 

There’s no reason to chase down soundbites of Adderall Ron taking Casey’s meds again and nodding wide-eyed like a bobblehead going over a railroad track, or Chris Christie taking coordinated payments from the corporations to hit Trump, or wind-testing Nikki looking to formulate her positions based on audience cheers and jeers, or Mike Pence waxing philosophically about distractions to his swamp defense, or any of the other myriad of transparently obvious motives and intentions of the corporate consulting class.

A person really only needs to watch this one segment to see all of the machinations from Fox News in alignment with the actors on stage.

Starting with the ever-insufferable Martha MacCallum teeing up the pretense with the oft familiar Bret Baier raise your hand question.  There is so much in this segment, you guys -super smart and full of intellectual honesty- just write about it in the comment section, and I will enjoy a non-pretending review.

Full credit to Ramaswamy for his non pretense, and the brilliant stare at Adderall Ron as he awaits the poll testing followers.  Ramaswamy leads, then the South Carolina coalition join, then Bergum goes limp up, then Ron looks over and realizes he better join, which triggers Pence and finally Krispy.   It’s all perfect.  All of it. Perfect in the way it encapsulates the entire field of followers. Just perfect.

Additionally, I cannot stop laughing at the human cabbage patch doll, Bret Baier, needing to turn around to the audience to protect Krispy from the jeers.  Too much funny – all of it.  WATCH:

Vivek Ramaswamy singing:

 …”clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right – here I am, stuck in the middle with snooze”…

Rupert Murdoch and Fox News Implement the Strongest Corporate Broadcast Controls, All Intended to Control Debate Discussion


Posted originally on the CTH on August 23, 2023 | Sundance 

The multinationals and corporate media conglomerates all have a vested stake in the outcome of the 2024 election.  The parent corporations are all aligned with the Wall Street globalist agenda. As a result, all of the broadcast and cable outlets have a singularity of focus to support the elimination of President Trump.

Yes, when you drill corporatism down to its least common denominator, it’s the money motive – every single time.

Fox News is hosting the GOP first-loser debate, and Fox News is worried about their scripted theatrics being destroyed by the new media apparatus that now dominates the discussion.  The old guard are trying to flex, trying to maintain control, but the insurgent rebellion is much stronger.  The corporate media are squeezing Jello tightly in a closed fist…

I’ve got two words for the Fox News Corporation, and they ain’t Merry Christmas!

Rebellion members need to double down hard and destroy these clowns.

The Most Ridiculous Lawfare Narrative Pushed by Special Counsel Jack Smith Portends the Weakness of the Mar-a-Lago Case


Posted originally on the CTH on August 21, 2023 | Sundance 

I did not think it would be possible for those who deploy Lawfare to ever exceed the scale of fakery around Witness #8, Rachel Jeantel.  However, there is an irony in this latest Lawfare deployment being pushed by Jonathan Karl and ABC news; because it was also ABC News, via Matt Gutman, who originally pushed the completely fabricated Trayvon Martin ‘ear witness’.

Before getting to the details of the construct, I must point out two issues.  First, this specific narrative, as pushed by a supposed leak from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution unit, just highlights the insane weakness of the Mar-a-Lago document case and how much they will rely on legal fraud and pretense to maintain it.  This is where Judge Cannon will hopefully play a major role.

Second, I must emphasize that Lawfare in its most obvious construct is not a legal approach per se’, it is the intentional manipulation of the legal system to create the optics around information that is intended to be used by media to influence public opinion.

Just like Rachel Jeantel was never any form of witness to the events around Travon Martin and George Zimmerman, so too is this latest deployment entirely fabricated – ABC News pushing both.

As the story is pushed by ABC News, again based on leaks from Special Counsel Jack Smith, supposedly former President Trump’s Chief of Staff has told prosecutors that he does not remember any effort by President Trump about a standing objective to declassify documents.

[…] “former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has told special counsel Jack Smith’s investigators that he could not recall Trump ever ordering, or even discussing, declassifying broad sets of classified materials before leaving the White House.” (see more)

The transparent fabrication of the story is crystal clear.  Whether ABC is playing a role of willful blind idiocy in their effort to support Jack Smith, or whether this is entirely fabricated by the news organization itself is unknown.  What is stunningly clear is that ABC is pushing a storyline that is entirely false, fake and fabricated.

Everyone -including every media outlet, pundit and journalist- knows that for four solid years President Trump intended to, tried to, and demanded the declassification of, tens of thousands of documents.  There are thousands of pundit hours and hundreds of articles written about the fight between President Trump and various agencies of government to declassify and release documents.  This is not a debatable issue.

Just type “declassify” or “declassification” into the search bar of CTH, and you will find hundreds of citations and examples of our discussion as this information and classification battle was waged.  In fact, the transparency of the ABC fraud is so clear, even Axios -while pushing another angle- would not stand with ABC in the specific framework of their lies.  As noted, “Axios has not yet verified ABC News’ reporting on Meadows.”

Much like Bill Barr, Mark Meadows is a self-interested shallow shell of a DC man, steeped in swamp life and preservation therein. We all accept this.  Yet, even with that at the forefront, there’s no way Meadows is going to be stupid enough to say he has no idea about the broad scope of President Trump’s declassification intentions.  Therefore, if this leak to ABC is legitimately based on information from Jack Smith’s team, then the Florida assembled prosecutors are big time desperate.

Additionally, and very importantly, if this is the Jack Smith prosecution approach, then we were 100% correct in our analysis and research of what the documents were in Mar-a-Lago that Main Justice was so desperate to retrieve {Go Deep}.

In broad terms, there are two sets of documents that intermingle and are directly related. First, documents that highlight the activity of Hillary Clinton’s team in creating the false Trump-Russia conspiracy theory (2015/2016).  Second, documents that highlight the activity of government officials targeting Donald Trump within the same timeframe (Crossfire Hurricane), that continued into 2017, 2018 and 2019 (Robert Mueller).

Think of the two sets of documents as evidence against two teams working in synergy.  Team one (Clinton) was outside government. Team two (DOJ/FBI) was inside government.  The documents pertain to both groups but are also divided.  That helps to explain the wording of the memo above. (more)

Also, keep in mind former DNI John Ratcliffe was at the center of the latter part of the effort to get those documents released to the public.  Deep State institutional preservation manager Bill Barr was obstructing the release and used Deep State institutional preservation manager John Durham as the investigative block.  To further protect the institutions, the FBI went on a mission to retrieve the documents. Consequently, as soon as the Durham block was going to be removed, the Jack Smith block was put into place.

James Comey, then Robert Mueller, then John Durham, now Jack Smith… these are all institutional silos -that’s one long continuum- created by the DC need to throw a bag over any document releases that would reveal the scale and scope of government corruption.

Keep in mind, as the DNI during 2020, Ratcliffe saw the documents that eventually became the material President Trump declassified and left with the DOJ to release after the Durham investigation was complete.  If Ratcliffe’s suspicions are correct, and there is more valid reason to support his suspicions than oppose them, then the entire construct of the DOJ-NSD operation was to retrieve those documents from Mar-a-Lago and maintain one big cover-up operation.

Ratcliffe suspects the documents are essentially the DOJ and FBI work products, including interviews with ‘sources’ like Igor Danchenko, from their fabricated case against President Trump.  If accurate, the objective of the DOJ/FBI would be to avoid sunlight on their political targeting operation.  This viewpoint makes sense when you consider the DOJ/FBI position was/is that no one should ever be allowed to look at those documents, including the previously appointed Special Master in the original document case, Judge Raymond Dearie.

For ABC to claim that Mark Meadows is unaware of the declassification effort, and for Axios to claim that Mike Pence says he was unaware of any effort by Trump to declassify the documents, is just abject absurdity.

If the special counsel is going to go to court and use this framework as their counter-position to President Trump claiming he declassified all the documents, then the special counsel is stunningly desperate.

The Death of Mainstream Media?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Press Re-Posted Aug 21, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Hello, Mr. Armstrong; Being a European and looking in the window of America, how can Americans hate Trump so much and overlook Biden and Hunter? America is becoming the laughingstock of the world. They want to imprison Trump and let this senile man and his corrupt sun corrupt the world and create a war that will destroy Europe. If Biden allows all your illegal aliens to flock into your country to vote, we should also have a right to vote since your President seems to dictate to the world.

ANSWER: Our media cannot ignore the corruption of Hunter. They pretend it has nothing to do with his father and then claim the American people do not care. They want the death penalty for Trump, and CNN will rejoice.

In the revolt against Henry VI and the corruption of the Deep State, Shakespeare said the first thing we do is kill the lawyers, who were the king’s prosecutors. This time someone may be writing about this collapse in government and saying the first thing we do is hang the journalists. I strongly suggest that anyone who has children working for these news organizations, they better find a different job. They may not want to be looked upon with the same disdain in the years ahead.

We can see what CNN did to Warner Brothers. Their shares collapsed from $78.14 to $9.49 – that was an 87.8% decline! This is like Great Depression. There was a shake up, and they have been trying to move back. But with the volatility rising from 2024, honest reporting remains an unattainable dream.

7 Weeks and the Faustian Deal Hits the Table


Posted originally on the CTH on August 20, 2023 | Sundance

I’m not always right.  Sometimes events change and intersections take place on the path toward the predicted outcome.  However, when ancillary events -mostly driven by human intervention in an effort to avoid what’s coming- do not cross the directional path, we arrive at the predicted destination.

At the end of May CTH shared the motive behind a series of events we should see unfold on the Twitter platform.  By the time we arrived in June, there was enough actual data to solidify a timeline {GO DEEP}. Shortly after, the New York Times published leaked revenue side documents allowing us to calculate an accurate burn rate {Go Deep} for the situation around Elon Musk.  Through this accurate financial prism, everything that Elon Musk has done lines up in sequence {Go Deep}.

Cliff Notes Version:  Musk has a deficit burn rate of around $250 to $300 million per month.  Musk runs out of working capital in Sept/Oct, depending on how quickly Yaccarino was/is able to enhance revenue.

Regardless of revenue, and because she just can’t generate it fast enough, approximately, seven weeks from now Musk has to secure another roughly $5 billion, to give himself enough breathing room to continue operations.

Musk has lost the $30 billion he put in.  The current estimates are that Twitter is now worth between $12 to $15 billion.   There is debt of $12.5 billion from the initial purchase structure still in place.  The asset is worth its debt, not much more.

With a current debt service of $100+ million per month, adding another $50 million/month ($5 billion loan) is tenuous at best. And that’s IF he can secure that investment loan.  Musk has admitted he is personally limited in leverage using Tesla.  He is approaching an inflexion point.  1 million subscribers paying $8/month is pittance ($8 million).

Recently X-Corp:  (1) Linda Yaccarino introduced the novel concept of speech that was “lawful but awful” and must be suppressed. (2) Their desire to remove the block function. (3) Restrictions on visibility, “freedom of speech, not freedom of reach.” (4) and hired back a platform censorship team.  All of these measures are designed to make “safe spaces” for advertisers to return.   In essence, they are all revenue decisions.

People inside tech, and even people inside the X-Corp organization, who initially did not think my analysis was accurate, are now starting to admit it is the most likely scenario.

This arc of directional travel is not going to change, especially with Musk needing to go back into the capital markets for more working cash.  Everything we are seeing is a result of this financial dynamic and the desperation is starting to show.

Yesterday Musk admitted they may indeed fail.  However, he is portraying himself as a victim in this – which is profoundly disingenuous.

Musk has known this critical financial flaw from the outset.  All the intellectually honest people who understand the situation, debts, obligations and the dynamics of social media revenue when contrast against the ideology of the gatekeepers, also know this.  None of this is a surprise.

Musk is getting increasingly anxious about it, and when people start to get desperate – they start to say stupid things.

Now, here’s my warning…

I am pretty certain about the prior timeline.  There’s about 7 weeks left (+/-) before the critical crisis point hits, depending on events that may slightly delay or speed up the timing.  Put his motives, intents and disposition off the table for a moment.  Accept things in their most common construct.  This situation makes Musk vulnerable.

There is only one deal, one specific version of agreement, that I can think of – that would generate the capital he needs.  An agreement to leverage his platform along with META, Insta, Alpha/Goog, etc to influence the 2024 election.  Agreeing to join that effort, more vociferously than previous, will get him the capital he needs…

…. so, watch out.

The only apolitical platform currently operating in the U.S. social media sphere is Tik Tok.   The inability of the US govt to control the platform, is a large part of the reason why U.S. govt interests on both sides want it removed and black-listed.  Pro MAGA voices have a big footprint on Tik Tok.

Repeating what I said in July:

Keep in mind, long before people realized the Dept of Homeland Security (FBI, DHS, CISA etc.) had a portal into Twitter, I was explaining how transparently obvious it was. {Go Deep – Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop} In part, the transparency of the problem is driven by CTH understanding of the costs associated with Twitter as a very unique platform in the sphere of social media. {Go Deep – Understand the Costs}

With the latest revelations we shared about the financial position of Twitter {Go Deep on FINANCIALS}, all of the moves now underway make sense.  Musk was on track to hit a date in/around October of this year where Twitter would be insolvent. If you had read those previous “Go Deep” links, you will easily see the problem.

Approximately seven weeks.

Keep your eyes open.
