A Short Discussion on the History of How We Got to the Point of Embracing Marxism!


This is a very short summary of how we got to where we are today. There is a lot more detail but I think you will get the drift as we use to say. I use Marxist instead of progressive since that is what they actually are.

Going on 50 years ago a movement was started to make the world a better place. One part was the environment movement that formed in the late 60’s and Patrick Moore was one of the founding members of Greenpeace in 1971 and they did do a lot of good. Unfortunately when the U.S.S.R. collapsed between 1988 and 1991 the worlds Marxists were left hanging as their utopia was gone. That set in motion two new movements.

The first movement was the Marxists taking over the environmental movement and focusing it on Climate change based on the work of Dr. James Hansen and VP Al Gore and then Bill Gates. The premise of this new group was that the world’s population was too large which was lifted from the work of Robert Malthus’s theory that population would expand geometrically while food production would only expand arithmetically leading to starvation was published in 1798. The theory had proved to be false but that didn’t matter. The Club of Rome picked up Malthus ideas and published The Limits to growth in 1972 and we now had the frame work or the New World order (NW)).

The NOW need a wedge to save the world from itself and James Hansen’s Theory of CO2 being a gas that would create a runaway increase in heat that would turn the earth into a hell hole of extreme heat like Venus was just what they needed. Hanses work was endorsed by the National Academy of Sciences in their Ad Hoc study group’s report on climate chaired by Jule G. Charney in 1979, known today as the Charney report. This lead to the UN Conference on Environment and development held in Rio de Janeior in 1992 that produced a report called Agenda 21 which was the start of the reduce the carbon movement. The report was non-binding but signed by H W Bush (41) and funded by President Clinton.   

The Marxists now had all they needed; a way to large population that was using too much carbon based fuels because that was going to destroy the planet, because CO2 from burning fossil fuels was going to turn the planet into an unlivable hot house according to Hansen. Therefor the population had to be drastically reduced to eliminate carbon based fuels. They knew that the Green Energy (wind and solar) could never replace the carbon based fuels.

The second movement was created when the European countries formed the European Union (EU) in 1992 with the Maastricht Treaty in 1992. This union was to create a power block for economic and social purposes with a single currency the EU. Unfortunately, there were fundamental flaws built into the system that appeared in the 2008 crash, which then created a sovereign debt crisis in the EU. The structural flaw was compounded by the policies of those in power in the EU when they went to negative interest rates on government debt. This meant they could no longer borrow money from the private sector.

Within a half dozen years the European powers realized they had created a major problem, which of course they could not admit to, so they began to develop a new economic system bringing together the main drivers of Science, politics and economics: Bill Gates, Barack Obama, Thierry Malleret, George Soros, and Klaus Schwab (GOMSS). The plan would be called The Great Reset and it required a new economics system using Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). The plan will be implemented in January 2021 at the next World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos between January 25 – 29 2021.

The system they wanted required central control of all major countries in Western Civilization and they started to the planning to implement it during the Obama administration by destabilizing the Middle East and creating racial tensions in the US with groups like Occupy Wall Street which morphed into black life’s matter (BLM) and Antifa this was very easy to do because the US schools and colleges had begun teaching Marxism (using different names) during the Clinton and Bush administrations in earnest. But they still needed one key element a disaster of some kind to justify the planned change. Bill Gates delivered that in 2019 (the Wuhan Virus). It’s not clear whether China was aware of this but they certainly took advantage of it to spread the virus around the world.

The World Health Organization the CDC the NIH and Liberty University in London all participated in developing the proper narrative to get to a worldwide lock down. Google, Facebook and Twitter aided the process by censoring all counter information on the COVID-19 no matter the source. Their only obstacle was President Trump who had managed to block much of The Great Rest agenda in his first three years. They could not tolerate another four years so they activated their voter control system which had not been used in 2016 since they had made a major blunder believing Trump could not beat Hillary. Further, Trump was very popular with the middle class and a greater proportion of all the minority groups than any previous Republican because he had created full employment. That meant that he would be very hard to beat in 2020

Their voter control system is based on the equipment and software developed by a Diebold subsidiary Premier Election Solutions which was sold to a competitor ES&S in 2009. That morphed into Smartmatic and Dominion Software today among others. The Hardware and software is designed to give an outside party the ability to change votes. This was why the virus was so important as it gave GOMSS the ability to create a panic using mail in voting so they could use the Smartmatic system in the 2020 election.

Fox news was the key to their plan since it had to be coordinated and the signal was when Fox strangely called Arizona for Biden very early. That signal keyed all the Democrat controlled counties (with large major cities) to stop counting which they all did in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada. The rest is history and the rebel alliance (MAGA) in support of President Trump should be able to prove this before it’s too late.

Below are a few links to videos to partially show proof of the above paragraphs, there is a lot more, but these few give a decent over view. Gates on over population, Moore showing Carbon is not a problem, WEF with an overview of The Great Reset, Armstrong’s description of the Great Rest, Reiner Fullmich explaining the problem with the PCR testing and lastly Sydney Powell with a summary of the Smartmatic system. This is as short as I can make it. I have been working on this issue since the early 1990’s albeit not in the present form but only from the sense that something was wrong.

Not is any particular order we have ….

Edward Snowden on Hacking the Election


Armstrong Economics Blog/Technology Re-Posted Dec 2, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

I get some emails from Democrats arguing there is no proof of the machines switching votes. As Edward Snowden posted, this is a video from 2019 that sounded the alarm. I was the keynote speaker at the Hacker Convention in Miami back in 2016. I dare say everyone in attendance was capable of hacking these voting machines. Many teenagers from their mother’s basement could hack the machines. The problem is that nobody can prove the vote was NOT hacked. This is the problem we have with our elections. There should be standardized voting nationally where it is really Equal Protection of the Law so everyone’s vote counts fairly.

You can easily create a system where they pay $1 to vote and enter their debit or credit card, and in return, they get $100 credit against taxes. That will eliminate dead people and illegal aliens. If we can buy online from Amazon with a credit card, surely we can also vote safely.

Why is Washington Post & New York Times Always Anti-American?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Socialist Re-Posted Dec 2, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

The real problem with socialism/communism is a simple refusal to understand the business cycle. Indeed, communism collapsed for the very same reasons they seem to hate capitalism. The comment published in the Washington Post actually admits that there were busts long before capitalism.

“There were calamities and injustices long before capital, and I’ll venture to say there will be after. But it seems to me that it’s time for those who expected to enjoy the end of history to accept that, though they’re linked in certain respects, capitalism seems to be at odds with the harmonious, peaceful, stable liberalism of midcentury dreams.”

What these people fail to understand is that the business cycle cannot be tempered and controlled. It is not simply the product of human activity. Capitalism began because of the Black Plague which killed 50% of the population on average. That created a shortage of labor and where people were serfs before landowners began to offer wages in addition to their free housing and right to keep part of the crop they grew. That led to the kings suddenly looking at these lower-class people as a new source for taxes. Hence, we begin to see the first rebellions were over taxes by 1381.

So the business cycle is not simply controllable by policy and regulation. Everything is a part of it from weather to disease. It cannot be tempered or controlled to create this perfect world of Utopia. That is the very core flaw to this entire idea of socialism that they entirely ignore.

Does Special Counsel Appointment Block President Trump’s Ability to Declassify Documents?…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on December 1, 2020 by Sundance

With the recently made public appointment of John Durham as a special counsel, does that appointment mean President Trump is unable to declassify documents in the same way the Robert Mueller special counsel blocked declassification?  The likely answer is yes.

However, with that in mind here is a reminder of one process that could possibly be attempted.  This approach would have to take place very quickly.

REPOST by Request:  Understanding the ordinary process of declassifying documents is a request and authorization to the executive officers and stakeholders of classified information; and understanding the current authorization is not ordinary because the intelligence community stakeholders are adverse to the interests of the office of the president; here is a process to cut through the chaff and countermeasures.

The background here is that any unilateral declassification request, demand or authorization by President Trump puts him opposition to a variety of corrupt interests.

As a direct result the executive office of the president will be facing legal action, likely from unified democrats and republicans in the legislative branch. With that accepted, here is the most strategic approach.

In anticipation of litigation:

President Trump informs the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, that he wishes to have a full intelligence briefing on the following documents (more may be added), all documents are to be presented without a single redaction:

  • All versions of the Carter Page FISA applications (DOJ) (FBI) (ODNI).
  • All of the Bruce Ohr 302’s filled out by the FBI. (FBI) (ODNI)
  • All of Bruce Ohr’s emails (FBI) (DOJ) (CIA) (ODNI)
  • All relevant documents pertaining to the supportive material within the FISA application. (FBI) (DOJ-NSD ) (DoS) (CIA) (DNI) (NSA) (ODNI);
  • All supportive documents and material provided by Bruce Ohr to the FBI. (FBI)
  • All intelligence documents that were presented to the Gang of Eight in 2016 that pertain to the FISA application used against U.S. person Carter Page; including all intelligence documents that may not have been presented to the FISA Court. (CIA) (FBI) (DOJ) (ODNI) (DoS) (NSA)
  • All unredacted text messages and email content between Lisa Page and Peter Strzok on all devices. (FBI) (DOJ) (DOJ-NSD) (ODNI)
  • All unredacted text messages and email content between Lisa Page and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.
  • All communication between former CIA Director John Brennan and FBI Director James Comey that started Operation Crossfire Hurricane in July 2016. (CIA) (FBI) (ODNI)
  • The full and unredacted April 2017 FISA court 99-page opinion written by Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer outlining the compliance audit conducted by the NSA in 2016. (NSA) (ODNI) (DOJ) (FBI) (DOJ-NSD)
  • Any and all documents that may pertain to CIA and FBI activity against the incoming Trump administration.
  • Any and all investigative documents currently controlled by US Attorney John Durham as a result of his two year investigation.
  • Anything else that would be of value to the American people.

The President selects a date for this briefing and through direct orders to his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, informs the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, to advise and coordinate with all executive branch lead intelligence officials, who were/are stakeholders in the compartmented intelligence products as described above, of their request be present for the briefing.

The White House counsel’s office is not to be informed of the intent or purpose of the meeting; however the Presidents’ White House counsel is requested to attend. Further, all of the compartmented intelligence is to be collectively assembled by the ODNI (Ratcliffe) into one volume of a singular Presidential Daily Briefing (PDB). There are to be eighteen printed copies of the PDB assembled and secured for the briefing, post haste.

Additionally, the office of the president personally informs the ODNI (Ratcliffe) of the executives’ request to invite for the briefing each member of the legislative branch Intelligence Community oversight known as the Gang-of-Eight.

Immediately after the briefing by the executive level (cabinet) department officials, while remaining in a closed and classified session, the full and comprehensive content of this collective intelligence product will be discussed with the full assembly of the U.S. Legislative Branch Intelligence Oversight known as the Gang of Eight.

Therefore, National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien is instructed to coordinate with the ODNI (Ratcliffe) for the attendance of the Gang of Eight: Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Minority leader Kevin McCarthy, HPSCI Chairman Adam Schiff, HPSCI Ranking Member Devin Nunes, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, SSCI Chairman Richard Burr and SSCI Vice-Chair Mark Warner. [Topic “TBD”]

In order to facilitate the briefing. Each member of the participating group will be provided with one full printed copy of the material assembled by the ODNI during the briefing.

[Each of the participants carries the prerequisite clearances, legal and constitutional authority to engage with the classified document according to their position and status. Only the executive can assemble the product for Go8 review and feedback]

At the conclusion of the briefing; and after hearing from, and engagement with, each of the participating members of the executive intelligence offices and duly authorized legislative oversight representatives; and after listening to their opinion as to the subject material discussed; the president announces to the fully assembled leadership of both the Executive branch (cabinet) and Legislative branch (Go8), it is his opinion the National Interests of the United States can best be served with the American people having a full, transparent and honest review of the material assembled and discussed.

The President, no-one else, only the President, then collects the printed portfolios as they were distributed to the participants, exits the briefing, and walks directly into the James Brady press briefing room within the White House; handing each of the awaiting twelve members of the national media a copy of the briefing material to be published on behalf of the American people.

At exactly the same time as President Trump enters the briefing room, one copy of the assembled portfolio is hand delivered, by President Trump only, to White House communications director Alyssa Farah with instructions to scan and release the content to the public through the White House website.

Done.

The American people are aware…

Litigation begins.

… “How does the office of a U.S. president; and more importantly the republic itself; survive a coordinated coup effort involving all three branches of government; while simultaneously those in charge of exposing the corruption fear the scale is too damaging for them to reveal?”…

It survives through the strength of the leader of the Republic to reveal it.Share

The Exact Day AG Barr Appointed a Special Counsel, President Trump Said This: “I’ll Only Say It Once”…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree house on December 1, 2020 by Sundance

According to the latest news developments, AG Bill Barr appointed John Durham as a special counsel on October 19, 2020.  To me the appointment looks like a total con-job.

I hope I am wrong, but every time we grant the institutionalists the benefit-of-doubt we are betrayed… Every.Single.Time.  Ergo “codependent no more”.

However, that said, listen to this speech soundbite that was made on that exact October 19th date by President Trump.   Listen very carefully: “I’ll only say this once”…

Did President Trump get notified, internally about the appointment, by someone in the concentric circle of the presidential office? My hunch says yes, based on the specificity of the speech comments made by President Trump.

Now hear this next part very clearly…. This is how the administrative state takes advantage of their insider positioning to control outside elements that are a risk to their status. They weaponize the principled honor of their target. This is why good people, decent people, do not last in Washington DC.

THAT is how a good man, a very decent man, has his love, honor and willingness to trust, weaponized against him. AG Bill Barr duped POTUS Trump, our president gave him full benefit of the doubt. Listen to that video: “I’ll only say this once”…

Do you remember the warning by Castellanos?  Think back to the 2015 instructions from republican insider Alex Castellanos as he described how the RNC could eliminate the disruptive influence of Donald Trump:

[…] “The best way to do it is how Brutus killed Caesar. Get real close, snuggle up, and shiv him in the ribs”… (link)

AG Bill Barr Appointed John Durham as Special Counsel October 19th – Did Not Tell Anyone, Did Not Inform Public…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on December 1, 2020 by Sundance

It looks possible AG Bill Barr is trying to pull a sneaky fast-one against President Trump and the American people. Because what Barr is claiming to do, he really isn’t doing.

According to a stunning article by Associated Press, AG Bill Barr appointed John Durham as a special counsel on October 19th, and did not tell anyone.

[…]  Barr told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he had appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham as a special counsel in October under the same federal statute that governed special counsel Robert Mueller in the original Russia probe. He said Durham’s investigation has been narrowing to focus more on the conduct of FBI agents who worked on the Russia investigation, known as Crossfire Hurricane.

[…] “I decided the best thing to do would be to appoint them under the same regulation that covered Bob Mueller, to provide Durham and his team some assurance that they’d be able to complete their work regardless of the outcome of the election,” Barr said Tuesday. (Link)

Today the Attorney General notifies congress in a letter:

However, here’s the issue… under DOJ regulations [28 cfr 600]  a special counsel must come from “outside government“; so did John Durham resign his position prior to the appointment, or has Bill Barr just given the appearance of a special counsel appointment while knowing the legal validity of it will collapse upon challenge?

§ 600.3 Qualifications of the Special Counsel.

“(a) An individual named as Special Counsel shall be a lawyer with a reputation for integrity and impartial decisionmaking, and with appropriate experience to ensure both that the investigation will be conducted ably, expeditiously and thoroughly, and that investigative and prosecutorial decisions will be supported by an informed understanding of the criminal law and Department of Justice policies. The Special Counsel shall be selected from outside the United States Government. Special Counsels shall agree that their responsibilities as Special Counsel shall take first precedence in their professional lives, and that it may be necessary to devote their full time to the investigation, depending on its complexity and the stage of the investigation.” (link)

Obviously Bill Barr is not stupid, he would know the regulations he cites would require the special counsel to come from “outside the U.S. government”, so what gives?

(AP cont..) A senior Justice Department official told the AP that although the order details that it is “including but not limited to Crossfire Hurricane and the investigation of Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III,” the Durham probe has not expanded. The official said that line specifically relates to FBI personnel who worked on the Russia investigation before the May 2017 appointment of Mueller, a critical area of scrutiny for both Durham and for the Justice Department inspector general, which identified a series of errors and omissions in surveillance applications targeting a former Trump campaign associate.

The appointment:

“Crime Wave”


Re-Posted from GrrrGraphics.com NOV 30, 2020 AT 10:40 AM

There was a lot of talk about blue waves and red waves ahead of the election.

What we got was a crime wave. Lately I’ve been reading a lot about the stolen presidential election and it’s tough to sort out hopeful conjecture from real conspiracies. Does that kraken that Sidney Powell released have real, tangible evidence and legal teeth? The so-called mainstream media tell us no, but we know corporate media and silicon valley repeat by rote what China and the rogue CIA tell them to say—and it’s nearly all lies.

Did the military have a firefight with CIA operatives in order to seize the Dominion voting machine servers in Germany? Why were US votes being stored and tabulated in foreign countries in the first place? Why did a judge order the preservation of voting machines in Georgia only to order them erased an hour later? Will this eventually end up in the Supreme Court?

The questions go on and on and if that’s all not weird enough, Biden hurt his foot while playing with his dog and he will now be sporting a medical ‘boot’ similar to what some other criminals wore. I’m referring to Hillary Clinton and John McCain. Some say the boots contain tracking devices to make sure they didn’t flee the country. Hillary seems immune to a prison cell that she earned and deserves. Some say McCain was executed for being a traitor. I’ve heard the same thing said about the CIA man, George H. W. Bush. Remember the odd note handed out at his funeral that seem to shock his son Jeb?

Yes, things keep getting weirder and weirder. One thing is certain—election fraud occurred on a massive scale and the criminals who carried it out must be prosecuted. If not, our Republic is lost and the Deep State Swamp criminals will be emboldened to commit even more dirty deeds—a veritable tsunami of crime will await us if we don’t take action.

Masks, false safety and real dangers – Dr. Colleen Huber


Re-Posted from Potkaars Blog on November 19, 2020

Colleen Huber with co-authors has researched the health risks of mouth masks in three different peer reviewed papers. The third one just released is going into Hypoxia, hypercapnia and their physiological effects on the human body.

In this interview Dr. Huber explains what happens when you hinder breathing by prolonged wearing or a cover over your mouth and nose. In all our evolution this has never happened before. The reduced availability of oxygen you need to take in and the excess levels of CO2 you can’t get out are acute, measurable and have negative health effects both short and long term, which Dr. Huber explains.

The previous interview discussed part two of the research: ‘microbial challenges from masks’ and together with the first paper about lung vulnerability to Friable mask particulate, a complete picture is painted.

Imagine breathing in particles released from a mouth mask. Imagine breathing them in more deeply than you normally would, as breathing is obstructed, taking those particles deeper into your lungs.

You are breathing more deeply because you are hindered by a mask. Your body will adjust -or get used- to a lower level of oxygen and a higher level of CO2, but it comes with a price. Your body’s ability to filter out such particles is reduced by the elevated levels of CO2 in your system.

Imagine not only breathing in particles (part one of the research) but also bacteria that would normally be exhaled but are now caught in the mouth mask that is warm and moist. These factors combined would explain why in the Spanish flu era Dr. Fauci found people died from bacterial Pneumonia, rather than a viral infection.

Mention Fauci and you get banned from YouTube, like Potkaars was after the previous interview.

Mention elevated CO2 levels in tissue being a catalyst for cancer and you get banned from Twitter, as Dr. Huber experienced.

Justice in the Balance


The pressing question that requires resolution is this. Do we have, or do we not have, an honest Supreme Court from which we have nothing to fear?

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By Lee Cary —— Bio and Archives—December 1, 2020

Excerpt from Federalist Papers No. 78, likely written by Alexander Hamilton:

“Though individual oppression may now and then proceed from the courts of justice, the general liberty of the people can never be endangered from that quarter; I mean so long as the judiciary remains truly distinct from both the legislature and the Executive. For I agree, that ‘there is no liberty, if the power of judging be not separated from the legislative and executive powers.’ And it proves, in the last place, that as liberty can have nothing to fear from the judiciary alone, but would have everything to fear from its union with either of the other departments.”

We Americans can no longer claim to be a shining example of free, fair and open elections

The line of dominos that represent America’s foundational institutions related to law and order have fallen, except one. 

It alone stands to be tested. The integrity of the Supreme Court.

Time is not on the side of those working to fully expose the corruption of the Presidential voting in several states. The scale of fraud now appears to be unprecedented in American election history. 

We Americans can no longer claim to be a shining example of free, fair and open elections.  That claim, if left unsubstantiated, becomes a lie.

The task of making the President’s case against widespread voter fraud is in the hands of a small cadre of Trump attorneys, and other lawyers working in his interests.  The Department of Justice and its Federal Bureau of Investigation are not in the frame, and haven’t been for the last five years. 

Their collective negligence has been reprehensible. And, in response to their dereliction of duty, there are no apparent consequences.  So much for the integrity of those government employees. Servants of the people, not. 

Today, the President’s political party is largely either silent, or encourages him to concede the election.  They cannot see it now, but they are sacrificing their political futures by their tepid, at best, support of Trump.

Republican Vice-Presidential candidate in 2012, his performance was…uninspiring

His supporters will not forget, whatever the outcome, that when the battle was waged, many Republican pols deserted their Commander in Chief.  Or, in the case of some, they worked against him from Day 1.

Take for example, Paul Ryan.  A committed NeverTrumper from the get-go.

In retirement, Paul skipped over the relatively meager salary of a K Street lobbyist, and went straight to the FOX Corporate Board, the parent company of FOX News (whose viewership is sinking like the Titanic).  Paul is on his way to cashing in big for his years as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. 

As the Republican Vice-Presidential candidate in 2012, his performance was…uninspiring

Paul is but one example of many GOP pols prone to surrender rather than contest.

Here’s how one anti-Trump “news” outlets touts the current valor of Paul:

“Former Speaker Paul Ryan is calling for President Trump to accept the election results and move forward with a peaceful transfer of power to President-elect Joe Biden…

The Wisconsin Republican then called for the Trump campaign to end its legal challenges in multiple swing states, noting they have failed to produce evidence of voter fraud.”

Paul’s wrong about the “orderly transfer of power” being such a unique and fundamentally American component of our political system”

”‘I think maybe even more important is that these legal challenges to the outcome and the attacks on our voting system really need to stop, in my opinion,’ he said…‘The outcome will not be changed, and it will only serve to undermine our faith in our system of government, our faith in our democracy,’ he added…Trump’s legal team are ‘doing damage to our country, to our democratic institutions and norms.’”

     
Now, listen carefully to this statement:

“So, the election is over. The outcome is certain, and I really think the orderly transfer of power—that is one of the most uniquely fundamental American components of our political system,’ he added.”

Paul’s wrong about the “orderly transfer of power” being such a unique and fundamentally American component of our political system”.  It happens all over Europe, for example, and in Canada – to name a few democracies.

An inquiry into possible election fraud will not damage the integrity of the American democracy

An inquiry into possible election fraud will not damage the integrity of the American democracy. Nor would proof of actual fraud have that outcome. 

In would, in fact, certify and strengthen the image of election integrity if the fraud is surfaced. 

But, on the other hand, suppressing an inquiry into the election will seriously damage the legitimacy of American democracy by implying that the truth must remain hidden.  And that reduces the nation to a faux democracy.
 
In Chicago, my home town, the classic short version of what Paul says is: “Nothing to see here. Move along.”

The pressing question that requires resolution is this. Do we have, or do we not have, an honest Supreme Court from which we have nothing to fear? 

Or, is there no such institution left in America?
