Paul Sperry at RealClearPolitics has an article today citing one part of the Durham report that deserves a little CTH attention.
I hope you will forgive my indulgent snickers, as the graphic you see below was created by me in early 2018, a full five years before the release of this Durham report. I even referred to the Steele Dossier as the Nellie Ohr Dossier. lol
As noted by Sperry, “According to the 306-page report, former Justice Department prosecutor Bruce Ohr’s wife Nellie Ohr first plowed the ground for the dossier with a series of research reports she wrote for Fusion GPS, the D.C.-based opposition research firm the Clinton campaign commissioned to dig up dirt on Trump and Russia.”
[…] Durham suggests Nellie Ohr planted the seeds of sourcing for the most explosive allegations leveled by the dossier against Trump, including the oft-cited notion that he and his campaign were engaged in a “well-developed conspiracy of cooperation” with the Kremlin. The dossier attributed this, falsely, to Millian. Durham found that the Belarusian-American realtor was never a source for the dossier and was simply invented as one, along with the allegations attributed to him.
In fact, Durham says that Millian initially wasn’t even on the radar of Steele and his dossier “collector” Igor Danchenko, a former Brookings Institution analyst who’s admitted much of the information he provided Steele was alcohol-lubricated gossip. Millian was called to their attention by Nellie Ohr, who the prosecutor said “implicated” Millian through her own reports. Durham suggests Steele and Danchenko merely followed her leads.
[…] Bruce Ohr, an anti-Trump Democrat, pushed his wife’s reports that cited Millian — 12 in all — onto the Crossfire Hurricane team at FBI headquarters that was investigating Trump and his campaign for possible espionage. Agents used her reports as a source of corroboration for the Steele reports they received in the summer and fall of 2016, even though it was circular reporting. “The reports prepared by Ohr and others at Fusion GPS were ultimately provided to Crossfire Hurricane investigators by Ohr’s husband, Bruce Ohr,” according to the Durham Report. Durham notes that Danchenko was tracking leads on Millian from Nellie Ohr within “approximately one week” of Fusion GPS retaining Steele to compile the dossier. He concludes that this “strongly supports the inference that Fusion GPS directed Steele to pursue Millian.” In other words, Steele was not the catalyst behind the dossier’s central claims. Rather, it was Clinton’s contractor Fusion GPS — but more specifically, the wife of a senior DOJ official who worked for Fusion. So the FBI wasn’t really investigating “Crown reporting,” as officials referred to Steele’s dossier, implying it was British intelligence. More accurately, it was investigating information from inside its own department that was laundered through Steele and his dossier. (read more)
Smart fella that John Durham.
Nellie Ohr – a former CIA open-source expert on all things Russia; a woman who used HAM radios for communication; a woman who approached Fusion GPS owner Glenn Simpson for a job in December 2015; she was the impetus for the information that ended up in the Chris Steele Dossier.

“I’m not being arbitrary; I’m just not going to pretend. These people know exactly what is going on. Their action is not an outcome of some esoteric thought process. They are corrupt & acting to retain the corruption with specific intent & full understanding of the consequence.” ~Sundance
Now, let us get down to the business of understanding; let us uncomplicate the complex; and, more importantly, let me propose the outline of a solution.
♦ SILO #1 – Inspector General Michael Horowitz was given instructions by outgoing President Barack Obama, to review the internal decision-making inside the FBI, Main Justice and DOJ-NSD as it pertained to the Hillary Clinton classified document scandal.
In early January 2017, IG Horowitz was tasked to review the FBI decisions during the Clinton exoneration and deliver a report on his findings.
First, it is important to remember the DOJ inspector general can only review internal government conduct. The IG does not review or investigate outside involvement and has no authority to compel investigative compliance from outside parties. The Office of Inspector General is an internal review agency.
Second, it is important to remember the DOJ inspector general was not authorized to conduct any oversight of the Dept of Justice National Security Division, DOJ-NSD. During the Obama era, when the DOJ-NSD was created by Attorney General Eric Holder, through the entirety of the Obama era, there was no inspector general oversight into any operations conducted by the DOJ-NSD; that included the FISA process. It was not until later in 2017 when the Trump administration granted the OIG authority to conduct oversight into the DOJ National Security Division.
Think of IG Michael Horowitz as an investigative silo. You will see why this matters.
♦ SILO #2 – Robert Mueller (truthfully Andrew Weissmann) was appointed in May of 2017 by Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein, as Special Counsel to investigate Trump-Russia and the reports of prior Russian influence in the 2016 election. Robert Muller was a figurehead, a person in name only to give credibility to the purpose and intent of the group who assembled under his shingle. Andrew Weissmann was the actual manager of the investigation, events and details of the Mueller probe.
On the outward face, in the aftermath of FBI Director James Comey being fired, the Mueller investigation was created to look at Russian interference in the 2016 election – against the background that Comey’s firing by President Trump was related to an intent to impede the ongoing Crossfire Hurricane investigation. However, on the internal dynamic, inside the mechanics of how DC silos are created, the Mueller probe existed to hide the DOJ and FBI weaponization of government that was deployed under the justification of the FBI Crossfire Hurricane investigation.
Sometime around June of 2017, while conducting his review of the FBI conduct in the Clinton investigation, Inspector General Michael Horowitz discovered troubling internal communications between FBI agent Peter Strzok and DOJ-NSD assigned lawyer to the FBI, Lisa Page. Silo #1 now intersects Silo #2.
Lisa Page was the DOJ lawyer advising FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. Peter Strzok was the lead FBI counterintelligence agent working on the Clinton email investigation. Lisa Page, Peter Strzok and Andrew McCabe were the core of the Clinton investigation and intrinsically linked to the Clinton exoneration as announced by FBI Director James Comey.
IG Horowitz knew of the Clinton investigation and was investigating the details therein. Horowitz did not initially know about the Crossfire Hurricane investigation which, by June of 2017, had subsequently morphed into the Special Counsel Mueller investigation.
Horowitz’s 2017 task only pertained to the Clinton classified documents and decision-making. However, it was the exact same FBI and DOJ people who investigated then exonerated Hillary Clinton, who then opened an investigation of Trump, who then transferred into an expanded Robert Mueller probe.
Horowitz (Silo 1) was bound by requirements of his office to inform Robert Mueller that individuals inside his investigation (Silo 2) were under investigation.
This presented a problem for Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann who were conducting a coverup and targeting operation.
Essentially, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were a threat, as they were bringing an IG review into the security of the Mueller Silo. Almost immediately, Strzok and Page were removed by Mueller/Weissmann to purge the problematic window they represented.
Mueller and Weismann then continued their operation, absorbing any Main Justice information that had anything to do with Trump-Russia. Simultaneous to their unilateral empowerment, Weissmann and Mueller continued to fabricate a false premise of Russian interference in the 2016 election. This ‘Russia narrative’ was supported as the justification for their continued operation throughout 2017, 2018 and into 2019.
It is important to remember that Mueller/Weissmann had full control over everything that had anything to do with the Russian interference narrative or the Trump-Russia narrative. Any ancillary investigation from any government office that touched on these issues was subsequently absorbed by Weissmann and team.
As an example, this Weissmann/Mueller absorption and control included the FBI case against SSCI Security Director James Wolfe, the man who leaked the Title-1 surveillance warrant (FISA application) deployed by the Crossfire Hurricane team against Carter Page. The Wolfe investigation (April ’17 through January ’18) was conducted by FBI Washington Field Office agent Brian Dugan. James Wolfe was indicted by USAO Jessie Liu for leaking the FISA application to journalist Ali Watkins. However, the evidence file was reviewed by the special counsel, and after threats by the defense team to subpoena Senate Intelligence Committee members, the specific charge of leaking the FISA was dropped from the criminal case.
Because Weissmann/Mueller controlled everything that touched the Trump-Russia issues, in June of 2018 when the Carter Page FISA application was made public, it came from the Weissmann/Mueller team release. This was one of the lesser discussed revelations from the Rod Rosenstein June 2020 testimony about the Mueller probe.
♦ SILO #3 – After taking office in February of 2019, Attorney General Bill Barr received the Mueller report in March and a debate with Mueller/Weissmann about the content and report release began. In May 2019, AG Barr appointed Special Counsel John Durham to review the FBI operations that initiated the Trump-Russia probe.
It is important to note that John Durham was appointed *after* Bill Barr received the Mueller report from Andrew Weissmann. It is also important to note that despite the originating mandate of Weissmann/Mueller being predicated on their obligation to look into the accusations of Trump-Russia, the Clinton campaign organization of the Trump-Russia narrative does not appear in the Mueller report.
There is nothing about Clinton’s work with the Perkins Coie law firm and lawyer Michael Sussmann to work as a cut-out for the Clinton campaign contacts with Fusion GPS, Christopher Steele, Glenn Simpson, Bruce Ohr, Nellie Ohr or any other substantively manufactured system that was used to create the illusion of the Trump-Russia connections. The absence of that information inside the Mueller report begged the obvious question:
How could Mueller investigate Trump-Russia for two years and never find the origin of Trump-Russia?
After realizing the Mueller report contained none of this information, in May of 2019 Bill Barr appointed John Durham and Silo #3 was created.
Each of the silos, purposefully created by those who operate within the DC systems of political power, were created to have specific usefulness and function. This is how the system operates.
We hear things like “ongoing investigation” as sunlight blocks, or “potential interfering with an investigation” as another technique. Each time a silo is created, the purpose of the silo is to control information and isolate the larger system from scrutiny.
When Robert Mueller (silo 2) appeared before a congressional committee in June 2019 to answer questions about his report, he was asked about the origination of Trump-Russia. Mueller’s jaw-dropping response was, “That was not in my purview.”
Wait, how can your existence be predicated on investigating Trump-Russia, and yet the origin of Trump-Russia is not in your “purview”? See the problem.
Unfortunately, and not accidentally, Robert Mueller was able to avoid scrutiny of never having investigated the origin of Trump-Russia because there was another silo, John Durham (silo 3), to take the heat off him. Each silo is sequentially created to deflect and distract from questioning that surrounds the originating corruption. Attorney General Bill Barr created Silo #3 (Durham), for exactly this reason. Bill Barr was the Bondo, John Durham the spray paint.
John Durham finishes up Silo-3 operations, delivers a report, and now we have a Silo #4 in operation via the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith.
As you can see, each silo creates an internal defense system which also allows media to deflect, ignore and distract. However, in the Trump-Russia story you will note there is a flow to how the silos are sequenced. The silos are designed to absorb information, deflect sunlight and keep accountability away. The silos are constructs, preservation systems, for the DC administrative state.
Ultimately, each silo is created to stop seeing the larger picture – the unlawful targeting of a presidential candidate, and then a subsequent coup against that candidate after the election. The evidence of the weaponized government is in the full story that resides, compartmented, inside purposefully constructed containment silos; each intended to block sunlight upon specific components of the evidence.
♦ SOLUTION – There is a way to bring the sunlight and destroy the silo system. The method is to use the inertia of the construct against itself.
Obviously, I hope you can understand why it would be imprudent to go too deep into this right now. However, suffice to say – here are the broad strokes.
In front of you sits a panel of SEVEN people:
Barr, Rosenstein, Horowitz, Mueller, Weissmann, Durham and Wray.
You do not deconstruct the silos by questioning them separately. Each silo will avoid sunlight by deflecting inquiry to the mechanism of the other.
Instead, you rain sunlight down upon the silos by questioning each of the participants individually while located together.
You use very granular and specific questions that pertain to the flow-through details that each silo was created to hide.
The usefulness of the silo process is dependent on its ability to stand alone.
When you put direct questions to the assembly of silos, there is nowhere to deflect.
Two days. Eight hours each day. Five rounds of questions. No one reading statements – only questions.
Very, very specific questions.
The goal is sunlight. Rip the Band-Aid off, call the baby ugly, and start the process to fix this crap by exposing it. Restore the First and Fourth Amendments and heal the injury. What we need is a full, uncensored, brutally honest expose’ of how bad things have become and how that system can be dismantled. The existing constitution is the protection; just remove the stuff that is violating it.
Click here for additional footage. In November 1993, Joe Biden referred to “jive folks” as “predators.” He said there was no way to rehabilitate them and that it “should not be a condition for release.” If videos like these existed of any Republican candidate, they’d be force to flee the nation. This was when Biden was fighting to implement the harshest punishments possible under what became the 1994 Crime Bill with the infamous “three-strike” rule.
“It doesn’t matter or not if they were deprived as a youth, it doesn’t matter or not whether they had no background that [mumbles] socialized them into the fabric of society,” then-Senator Biden insisted when speaking to US lawmakers. “It doesn’t matter or not whether they’re the victims of society.” All of this is in direct contrast to the laws he implements today in an attempt to cover his past racist remarks.
Former President Bill Clinton and the Democrats strongly supported the 1994 Crime Bill. The Republicans did not support this legislation. There are people still rotting away in cells due to this extreme legislation pushed forth by the “party of peace.” Yes, the bill targeted minorities more than others by design. As Joe Biden put it: “Let me define the liberal wing of the Democratic Party. The liberal wing of the Democratic Party is now for 60 new death penalties. That is what is in this bill. The liberal wing of the Democratic Party has 70 enhanced penalties…. The liberal wing of the Democratic Party is for 100,000 cops. The liberal wing of the Democratic Party is for 125,000 new state prison cells.”
Biden directly fueled the mass incarceration problem we have today. He previously bragged about being the one to draft the 1994 Crime Bill. In 1984, Biden pushed forward the Comprehensive Control Act that gave government greater access to civil asset forfeiture. He spent nearly his entire career pushing tough-on-crime policies intended to put as many Americans behind bars as possible.
Suddenly, Biden became a born-again light-on-crime advocate when he decided to run for president. That was never his viewpoint and he adamantly fought for the opposite for decades. In his own words, he does not believe offenders can be rehabilitated and he does not care why they committed an offense in the first place. He certainly does not care about the “disadvantaged youth” that the Democrats love to discuss today. Joe Biden wanted the American prison complex to profit from the pain of those convicted; those who are not above the law like his own son. These new woke policies are not Biden’s original thoughts, but part of a broader plan that he is ushering in for the globalist agenda.

The bottom line is that everything the Obama justice department, IC and FBI did, to include support from Republicans in congress during the 2016 election and aftermath, was a coup d’état against U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration. This is the truth of the thing.
The U.S. media participation and subsequent denial of their culpability looks increasingly pathetic in the aftermath of the report outlined by Special Counsel John Durham. However, it doesn’t take a media admission of the coup effort for the demonstrable actions and evidence of the coup to be factual.
Read THE REPORT, all the evidence is there. The truth stands alone, regardless of the discomfort it creates. {Direct Rumble Link} WATCH:
Under impeachment standards created by our constitutional republic, it takes a vote in the house to begin an impeachment investigation. The impeachment investigation then produces a finding which is delivered to congress and a vote is held.
John Durham spent four years conducting the investigation. The report outlining the coup is complete and delivered to congress. The only thing needed is a vote.
This might make House Speaker Kevin McCarthy very uncomfortable. However, do or do not, there is no ‘TRY’.

People ask why I find it difficult to write about the Durham report empirically confirming everything we previously outlined in the past five years. Here’s my answer.
Eventually, after the shock & awe of the Durham confirmations wear off, I am hopeful that people will stand back and realize the bigger question that covers all of the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy nonsense. This was a United States government operation to conduct full-throated surveillance on a U.S. presidential candidate, and then remove that candidate from the office of the presidency after his victory in the 2016 election.
With John Durham outlining in granular details how the FBI, DOJ and larger intelligence apparatus acted politically to weaponize government on behalf of an allied presidential candidate in Hillary Clinton, a bigger question remains. There never was any merit to the Trump-Russia nonsense, so what exactly were Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann doing for two years?
Using the silo defense as a method of obfuscation, John Durham noted in his report [page #2] as below, never delved into that obvious question. Durham specifically, and with great intent, says he did not look at what Mueller and Weissmann were doing; even though, Durham destroyed any predication that might have given merit to the intention of their special counsel existence.
Durham writes a 316-page report, meticulously detailing the false construct of the Trump-Russia narrative. Yet for some reason, the Mueller/Weissmann investigation, an entire special counsel investigation that was predicated and justified by that false Trump-Russia narrative, never found the same evidence?
Durham never looked at it. Why? Because he knew Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann were installed to cover up the original fabrications by the CIA, FBI, DOJ and U.S. intelligence apparatus. Mueller’s probe existed in material fact to hide the Obama weaponization to target Donald Trump. Durham knew this; that’s why he never touched it.
Stop pretending. Once you stop pretending, you realize just how rotten this system is.
John Durham intentionally and with specific foresight, did not want to reveal the criminal conduct of the Mueller/Weissmann special counsel.
He knew exactly what they were doing; his investigation paralleled what their investigation would have done if Mueller was not established to hide the originating schemes.
Everything Durham found, Mueller could have easily found, and stated, and ended the nonsense.
This reality, and Durham’s intentional decision to avoid confronting the Mueller fraud, is why no one should defend any part of what John Durham was doing, nor the report he delivers in conclusion. Durham is just as dirty as Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann. If he wasn’t, he would have outlined the purpose of Mueller and left them naked to the consequences. But that’s not what a good little silo maintainer does.
Instead, John Durham simply acts as if Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann didn’t exist to try and destroy President Trump. Durham ignores the cleanup operation entirely.
Everyone in Washington DC knew that Trump-Russia was a manufactured lie created by Hillary Clinton, promoted and supported by President Obama and fully weaponized by the Obama era justice department. Nobody in Washington DC did not know this. Everyone knew.
Everyone in Washington DC also knew that Robert Mueller was installed to cover up the 2016 targeting operation. Nobody in Washington DC did not know this. Everyone knew, including John Durham.
We really need to stop pretending and start asking the obvious questions. If Durham can destroy the predicate of the Trump-Russia nonsense, then what the hell were Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann doing for two years?
We know the answer.
The investigators know the answer.
Washington DC knows the answer.
Republicans know the answer.
They all know that we know the answer, and yet that BIGGER question just sits there….
…because everyone keeps pretending!
A reminder from the MUELLER REPORT:
.
You might remember, Robert Mueller was in front of congress in July 2019, answering questions about Chris Steele, the dossier and the Steele sources therein. Mueller was able to deflect and dodge answering questions about it because AG Bill Barr put John Durham into place in May 2019.
When Robert Mueller is saying there’s another group in the DOJ looking specifically at the Chris Steele, Dossier, Fusion GPS and Glenn Simpson aspect to the fraudulent 2016/2017 claims about Trump-Russia collusion in the 2016 election, he is talking about the John Durham investigation.
Mueller was citing Durham as the reason why his purview, and subsequent report as released, did not include the Steele dossier, Fusion GPS and Glenn Simpson information.
Mueller was saying that stuff is the responsibility of “the other internal investigative unit,” ie. John Durham.
When you stand back and remind yourself of the Bill Barr statements and affirmations about the ‘integrity’ and ‘honor’ of Robert Mueller, one can only accept that AG Bill Barr put John Durham into place in May 2019, immediately following Robert Mueller’s completed investigation, April 2019, so that Mueller would have a shield for why the origin of the Trump-Russia is outside his purview.
This is how they use silos as weapons and shields. Not in my purview is the same as not in my silo.
Mueller was citing Durham as the reason his team did not expand their probe to fully investigate Chris Steele et al. Mueller’s special counsel has an escape hatch for why they did nothing with their own investigative findings…. That was John Durham’s job. This is the outrage trap.
AG Bill Barr established John Durham’s probe (silo) so that Robert Mueller’s probe (silo) would have cover.
If John Durham’s investigative inquiry did not exist prior to that July 2019 testimony by Robert Mueller, then Mueller would have lied to congress.
AG Bill Barr put Durham into place, essentially constructed another silo, to protect his ‘good friend’ Robert Mueller….
As the politicians and their pretorian guard media attempt desperately to rewrite COVID-19 history (more coming on this issue) it is worth remembering exactly what the situation was in the prior two years.
This excellent compilation video from Tom Elliot reminds us who they were, and how significant the hatred was. WATCH and share:

The authoritarian government of Turkish President Recep Erdogan, a man of notoriously manipulative and unstable disposition intent on recreating the Ottoman empire, demanded that in advance of their elections Twitter remove the voice of the opposition party. Elon Musk complied:
This decision is interesting because it shows that despite his questions about the need to defend democracy and free speech, Twitter owner Elon Musk is willing to support the removal of opposition political parties during elections.
Musk justifies this decision by saying the choice was between shutting down a political viewpoint or shutting down all of Turkish Twitter access. Musk chose to simply eliminate one set of voices in opposition to the existing government in Turkey.
When Rumble was faced with a similar threat from France, Rumble stood with the principle of freedom and refused to block content the administration of Emmanuel Macron did not like. Rumble left France rather than comply with authoritarian censorship demands. Twitter remains operational in Turkey, willing to support the authoritarian censorship demands. An interesting contrast.
I have fielded many calls in the past few days about this seemingly 180° reversal from Elon Musk in his ‘speech’ positions. The hiring of Linda Yaccarino was one massive datapoint that seemed to indicate the priorities of Musk had changed. The acquiescent to Turkish government requests less than 24 hours later is another datapoint.
The general questions all fall in the spectrum of ‘what has changed’?
I will answer here, what I have answered privately.
When I published my thesis on the background of Twitter called Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop, the essential outline contained two basic cornerstones.
First, the United States government was operating to control the information on the Twitter platform with direct access to the content. Second, the USG was subsidizing it.
Two years ago, people thought I was nuts about government control over content. However, in the last several months the information from within Twitter, specifically the Twitter Files outlining the DHS influence and control, has verified exactly the issue CTH noted in the very first outline of Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop.
However, it is the second aspect behind the platform that people have yet to recognize. When the fulsome story is told in hindsight, you will see that I am correct.
The second aspect is that Twitter cannot financially exist as a viable communication platform without government subsidy.
As it is currently structured, including the AWS cloud-based services for data processing, the costs associated with handling 30 million active simultaneous users (24/7)exceeds the business model for self-sufficiency. It simply costs too much without ownership of the metal.
Amazon Web Services (AWS), and other cloud-based services (Microsoft etc), are efficient for platforms who do not then need to employ as many engineers to keep the data processing operational; but they are very costly.
Data processing for 30 million simultaneously active users engaging with the platform is extremely expensive. Every engagement feature makes this issue worse. It is simply an issue of scale. Unfortunately, unlike traditional business models, the per user costs do not decrease as the number of simultaneous users increase.
There is no viable business model for a ‘free’ or low-cost user-based platform that requires data processing for this scale of simultaneous users without a massive amount of money to create the actual servers (metal-based operations). A cloud service (AWS) is expensive, and Musk is on the hook for every penny in data processing cost.
There have also been many reports that AWS is technically an endpoint U.S. government operation. Meaning the actual data processing is done by systems attached to U.S. government operations. While staying away from the granular tech on this issue, it remains most likely that government subsidy underpins the ability of Twitter to exist and function as a platform.
The motive behind the public-private partnership is symbiotic and long precedes Musk purchasing the platform.
The evolution of Twitter from a private to a quasi-public institution under the control of DHS took place over a decade. Essentially from 2012 (Arab Spring), and the first requests of the U.S. government for assistance, to the present day. As the public-private partnership relationship grew, Twitter was viewed as beneficial to the interests of the U.S. government as a controlled communication platform, and the financial subsidy to retain the viability of the platform was predictable as an outcome.
As with all things connected to the deep state IC, over time controlling content on the platform became increasingly obvious. The Twitter files reveal the scale of this issue as it was available to understand via internal communication correspondence. However, as admitted by the journalists requesting the searches of the Twitter database, they really don’t know the full scale and scope of the government involvement in Twitter. My personal suspicions of govt scale greatly exceed those journalistic reviews, driven in part by my experience as a target of the background actors.
Which brings me back to the question that everyone asks me about the motive for Musk’s ideological reversal. Surprise, it’s the money!
There is only one force more powerful than the firmly committed and espoused ideology of an altruistic mind, ECONOMICS.
The economics of the thing always supersedes and overpowers the other issues related to the thing. If the U.S. government wanted to shift the full scale of cost to operate Twitter onto the shoulders of Musk, the platform would not survive.
Tap Musk on the shoulder, or allow Musk to discover this financial dependency organically, and suddenly the reality of the thing changes. Nothing changes espoused opinion faster than money, just ask Steve Cortes.
It is a simple truth in everything: if you see a person change opinion quickly and radically, look at the money behind them.
There are two vectors for economics to change things. First, the gain of money as an enticement. Ex. you do this, you get paid. The second vector is more powerful, the removal of money as an enticement. Ex. you do this, or the existing payment stops.
If you look at the financial background of an abrupt change, almost every time you will find the answer to the motive that puzzles you.

Twitter platform owner Elon Musk has confirmed the hiring of Linda Yaccarino as CEO of Twitter. Many reactions are happening, but CTH analysis generally likes to stay ahead of the reactions and more into the future of what each datapoint means. That said, here’s some context.
The general or more common logic, completely understandable, is to look at the hiring of Yaccarino as binary. Either Musk was previously lying about everything he believed in, or the revenue situation is at a critical mass. Otherwise, it really doesn’t make sense to bring in Linda Yaccarino.
Before going deeper, it is critical to know just how ideological Linda Yaccarino is. The former head of NBCUniversal is the apex voice in the system of promoting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) from an advertising perspective. I’m not talking about a little bit ideological, I mean the full dna-level, metastatic, this is the core essence of what makes Yaccarino believe she has purpose in life.
Changing social culture by leveraging commercial enterprise is Yaccarino’s life work.
Literally Linda Yaccarino believes that advertisers should determine the product being sold. This is not a spoof, exaggeration, hyperbole or a spin on her outlook. Yaccarino believes marketing and advertising executives should be able to control the physical content, the actual stuff, created by the publisher they pay to advertise their product.
A traditional example might be Ford Motor Company telling Motor Trend magazine what positions to place ads for competitors in the auto industry as a contingency for their ad spend. A modern example might be Disney telling Fox News what content may be discussed by Tucker Carlson. This is the origin of DEI ideology controlling platform content.
To understand how this mindset applies to Twitter and Elon Musk, watch a few minutes of this previous interview between Yaccarino and Musk at a convention of advertisers. This is an example of how the NBCUniversal executive thinks. WATCH (prompted):
You can see in the back and forth, how Musk tries to stick to his core principles about “free speech” while Yaccarino uses terms like “partnership”, “collaboration”, and “mutual benefits” to leverage her advertising team’s agenda.
It is important to understand the views expressed by Musk and Yaccarino are mutually exclusive. There is no free speech when the advertisers are permitted to determine the content of that speech. Musk tries to negotiate a nuance, but the core of the dynamic is in conflict.
Any good, stable and even-tempered corporate executive will tell you the marketing team is consistently the least valuable mindset at the corporate table.
Factually, most of the people who fail out of business schools fail down into the humanities dept. However, sometimes those emotionally driven ideologues simply move into the marketing and advertising fields within the business majors. The outcome of this truism is Alissa Heinersheid and her destruction of the Bud Light brand through marketing.
Linda Yaccarino is the apex voice in the system that has allowed advertisers to determine content. She would be the ideal candidate within an organization like Google, but she is oil in the water of Twitter. So, what gives?
Why would Elon Musk hire Linda Yaccarino as the CEO of Twitter? We return to the binary issue…. Either Musk really doesn’t believe in what he previously advocated, or Musk has hit a wall of acceptance and generating revenue is now more important than the platform itself? For the latter, essentially the economics of the thing is determining the outcome of the thing.
There is a third alternative; a less familiar dynamic that has surfaced in the past and does provide a reference. This is what I call the “ino” hiring process within large institutions and organizations; “ino” stands for In Name Only.
An executive is hired to represent the division/organization, in name only. They have no actual control, influence or power. They are simply figureheads installed to create the optics needed for the institution to continue operations.
The ino practice is also visible with ‘diversity hires’. A person is hired not to drive the mission of the organization, but to deflect opposition away from the achievement of the organizational mission. However, all ‘in name only’ (ino) hires always end up in the exact same conversation within the organization.
When the ino realizes they are essentially irrelevant to the function of the organization, that means their opinions and recommendations are never part of the organizational outcome, there is always a conversation with the following words: “then why did you hire me?” This conversation always happens, it is the one constant in an ever-changing business world.
So, there’s three basic dynamics:
Elon Musk was not as committed to ‘Free Speech’ as he originally defined it.
Priorities have changed and now Revenue is more vital than Free Speech.
Musk is still committed but needs to create the illusion of DEI acceptance.
In considering the last element, Mrs. Yaccarino does not present herself as an ino-person who will accept a position and then not deliver on the intent of her mission.
So, what does this tell us about the future of Twitter content?
I have worked advising governments around the world for over 40 years. In the process, I have learned all their tricks. The Democrats are using the RACE CARD to fool the public and destroy the United States. All of this total nonsense that the Republicans demanding ID to vote are racists because poor blacks have no ID is just total bullshit and not a single Mainstream Press has the guts to report the truth. When my children were born, you have to file to get them their social security number. There is NOT a single real American who does not have ID. You cannot get welfare, food stamps, or any social benefit without an ID no less enter a hospital. I would be in prison if I was hiring illegal aliens and paying cash under the table. Nobody can get on a plane or a train without ID no less get a job. How do you even get a driver’s license or buy a car without ID?
In our company, we have every race including blacks. I hired the first black Financial Analyst who unfortunately died – Robert Howe. To say that blacks are too stupid and do not have ID is so insulting the black community should be rising up against the Democrats who were originally the slave owners and have done nothing but exploit them ever since. LBJ was said to have told Democrats to vote for the Civil Rights Act saying: “I’ll have those niggers voting Democratic for 200 years.” What has been confirmed was that he always used the N-Word when he referred to them generally. Many want to claim Lydon Johnson never said that, but they cannot deny those were the words he would typically use. LBJ did tell a Journalist, Bill Moyers who did report what he said:
‘Well, I think we may have lost the south for your lifetime – and mine.’
The Hong Kong government knew I also knew the Australian government. They asked me if I could negotiate to buy land from Australia to allow Hong Kong to move before it would be handed back to China in 1998. I met with Prime Minister Paul Keating, then head of the Treasury at the time. No matter what I proposed the answer was NO. I even said I had a blank check and could pay off their national debt. The answer was still NO. Out of frustration I finally asked: Is this a RACIST issue? He responded NO. They were fleeing Communism and they would come to Australia and vote CONSERVATIVE. Keating was Labour. It was all about Labour losing power if they let the people in from Hong Kong.
This is precisely what is going on and NOBODY in the press has the courage to report the truth. Blacks are not stupid and lack even ID. The ONLY people without ID to vote are all the illegal aliens Biden is letting in. As soon as they have a child, then the child is American, and then the parents can claim status as a family member.
The Democrats are flooding the United States with illegal aliens to change the demographics and assume all of these people will vote Democrat so they can harass and exploit all real Americans who have been born here and work for a living. This to me is not just insulting, it is treason! There is NO WAY an illegal alien can come to the USA and even get a real job. Employers will be prosecuted for hiring illegal aliens paying cash under the table since they will not have a Social Security number.
This is the plot to marginalize ALL Americans to impose by FRAUD their Marxist views where you will own nothing and live in a 15-minute city denied the freedom to even travel. This will not just lead to the destruction of the United States, but it will lead to civil unrest where the Democrats will rely on the army to gun down real Americans all for their Marxist agenda and absolute power. Our only hope is that someone will stand on the tanks and persuade the military to defend the people, not plow them down as Yeltsin did during the 1991 Russian coup.
These illegal aliens are housed at the border. What happens when they are released? If they cannot work, do they then start robbing people to survive? You cannot impose draconian taxation and enforce laws that employers must only hire people and collect taxes and then allow 20% of the population to be illegal aliens and then hire 87,000 IRS agents with guns and search eBay for people who sold a used bike for $600. Americans are being targeted while illegal aliens are flooding the country. Then they want to outlaw guns so we cannot even defend ourselves if people start storming houses looking for food and money. So many policies are just contradictory. Threaten our security but outlaw guns? You can’t reasonably have it both ways.
When I try to bring in staff from overseas, I am told NO, I should be hiring Americans. I have to spend countless thousands on legal fees for staff simply because we are an international company. I tell them just put on a sombrero and walk across the board and say they will vote for Biden in every state and they will let them in.
I have had a front-row seat in how governments around the world will always exploit the people for their own personal gain. Only a fool believes governments actually really care. They are only interested in maintaining their power. This is a Private Wave and they know they are losing control. They are now diminishing the black community using them as the excuse to usher in voting without ID as the cover for illegal aliens to repay the Democrats by voting to exploit real Americans so they can retain power. This is all part of the cycle and the end of the United States as we have known it. There will be nothing to leave our children and grandchildren but political chaos and insecurity. I wish we could stop it, but the mainstream press is so leftist, they are blind to their own destruction.
