Quick Follow Up – Makhachkala Airport Operation


Posted originally on the CTH on October 30, 2023 | Sundance

As noted yesterday {Go Deep}, nothing about the story of the Red Wings flight from Tel-Aviv to the Dagestan region Makhachkala airport seemingly made sense.  Yes, the visual aspects of the story were accurate in that Muslims and Hamas sympathizers rushed the airport looking for Israeli Jews on the flight.  However, something just didn’t seem right both in the story and the way it was promoted by western media.

As more people began looking skeptical at the background [Research LINK], it now appears the crowd was organized on Telegram by the TG channel Morning_Dagestan, owned by the anti-Putin politician Ilya Ponomarev, who lives in Kiev.  That channel has now been removed.

Exiled from Russia, Ilya Ponomarev is reportedly working for western intelligence and lives in Kiev, Ukraine.  Ponomarev spent time in the USA in 2014 [San Jose California], before going to Ukraine in 2016. There is an interesting background bio story available on Ponomarev HERE.  …” since invading Ukraine last year, some now call for direct action. Ilya Ponomarev, former Russian Duma member and activist, is leading this charge” in opposition to Vladimir Putin.

If Ponomarev, a self-declared communist, is working for the interests of Ukraine against Russia and Vladimir Putin, he is intersecting with the CIA and U.S. State Dept who are organizing the resistance effort in Ukraine.  It makes sense he would be running psychological operations against Russia and exploiting the opportunities to incite unrest in the Dagestan region.  Pure opportunism.

In essence, if you put all the pretending away, this looks like a collaborative psy-op effort by western intel, with the intent to undermine Putin (Russia) on the international stage.  That would explain how the story and events went viral as intended jumping from social media to mainstream corporate media as promoted by people like Fox News Jennifer Griffin.

Once again, a reminder…. We are being manipulated.

If what you see/hear just doesn’t make sense, trust your instincts.  You might not know what is wrong, but you will likely be correct that the narrative we are being told is just not accurate.

The good news is that in these weird times everyone is questioning everything, and the motives are discovered very fast.

Comrade Suspicious Cat was correct to be, well, suspicious.

DC Judge Chutkan Reinstitutes Gag Order Citing Lawfare Complaint of Trump Statements Against Mark Meadows


Posted originally on the CTH on October 30, 2023 | Sundance 

For the sake of this argument, if you wanted to align with Judge Chutkan on the need for a gag order, you would first need to clarify if Mark Meadows was a witness for the Jack Smith prosecution.  Absent an actual witness list, the remarks by President Trump have to be stretched to encompass potential witnesses or foreseeable witnesses.  That’s what Judge Chutkan decided.  Anyone who might be a witness is protected by the gag order forbidding President Trump from talking about them.

Jack Smith baited President Trump by leaking a story to ABC News saying Mark Meadows warned President Trump that Biden’s 2020 election win was legitimate.  It never happened, but the leak and story were bait to get President Trump to respond – thereby creating the dynamic that would lead to the gag order.   The Lawfare worked.

[Page 7, pdf link]

I do not fault President Trump for responding to the ABC News article, he should have every right to speak about false assertions against him.  In reality, Jack Smith knew Judge Chutkan wanted to reaffirm the gag order, so he just provided her the legal tool to do it.  When dealing with corruption, that’s how Lawfare operates.

WASHINGTON DC – […] Chutkan reiterated that her decision to issue the original gag order earlier this month was rooted in evidence that Trump’s public attacks on witnesses, prosecutors and court personnel have routinely resulted in threats and harassment jeopardizing their safety and her duty to protect the “orderly administration of justice.” In such cases, she said, the Supreme Court and other legal precedents and rules have supported gag orders as a tool to protect the public’s interest in a fair trial.

[…] Chutkan noted that despite the clear problems with the Meadows statement, she would not act on it because the order had not been in effect. She noted that for any potential violations in the future, she would not reach any conclusions before giving both Trump and prosecutors a chance to “provide their positions on the statement’s meaning and permissibility.” (read more)

Special Counsel Jack Smith Continues Lawfare Operation With More Leaks to ABC, This Time Claiming Mark Meadows Warned Trump About 2020 Election Result Being Accurate


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

Too many people continue falling for this Lawfare nonsense.   CTH has been outlining what Lawfare operations are all about since we deconstructed the Trayvon Martin narrative.  Perhaps a reminder is useful.

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. {link}

That’s what Lawfare is all about, manipulating public opinion through leaks to the media.  The leaks do not need to be truthful, accurate or directly in line with the prosecution of the case; they are intended exclusively to manipulate public opinion.

Remember, on August 21st, in another ridiculous Lawfare operation, Special Counsel Jack Smith told ABC that Mark Meadows testified that President Trump never attempted to declassify any information {Go Deep}.   That report was transparently false, yet the media ran with it and multiple alternative media promoted it.  Pure nonsense.

In this latest Lawfare effort, again from Special Counsel Jack Smith, again to ABC news, again about former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, the claim is the Special Counsel granted Meadows immunity (that’s the hook), and that Meadows told President Trump the 2020 election was not rigged or stolen.

Now remember, Mark Meadows wrote about the rigged and stolen 2020 election in his book, so why would he undermine his own story by saying something completely the opposite to Jack Smith that is only coming out now?   The Occam’s razor answer is, he didn’t.  This lawfare story is all made up, fictitious, anonymous sources, manufactured to create a public impression.

Bolstering the likelihood that Meadows gave no such testimony, Meadows lawyers, when contacted by media, said the story is fake news.   Yet again, everyone falls for it.  This is how Lawfare succeeds, and this is how Trayvon Martin’s fake and fabricated ear-witness girlfriend becomes the key witness and embarrasses the prosecution on the stand.

(Via ABC) – Former President Donald Trump’s final chief of staff in the White House, Mark Meadows, has spoken with special counsel Jack Smith’s team at least three times this year, including once before a federal grand jury, which came only after Smith granted Meadows immunity to testify under oath, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The sources said Meadows informed Smith’s team that he repeatedly told Trump in the weeks after the 2020 presidential election that the allegations of significant voting fraud coming to them were baseless, a striking break from Trump’s prolific rhetoric regarding the election.

According to the sources, Meadows also told the federal investigators Trump was being “dishonest” with the public when he first claimed to have won the election only hours after polls closed on Nov. 3, 2020, before final results were in.

“Obviously we didn’t win,” a source quoted Meadows as telling Smith’s team in hindsight. (read more)

See how the Lawfare operation works?

Jack Smith is not prosecuting a case; he’s trying to manipulate public opinion.

Here’s a prior example:

Neil Oliver – It’s All Mad, It’s All Alarming and You Are Not Alone


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

For his monologue this week, Neil Oliver walks through the psychology of crisis that surrounds us, then falls squarely on the antidote of fellowship.

“We cannot and must not turn blind eyes or deaf ears to any wrong. We must maintain the courage to stand side by side against evil, any evil, perpetrated by anyone. In the end, all I can say to all those hoping for the best while watching the worst is, I hear you!”

.

For several years, CTH has been outlining the critical importance of fellowship.  Living our best life requires us to put the importance of the human connection at the forefront. A priority that seems to have been purposefully torn apart.

Fellowship is the essential ingredient to a purposeful life. How and why we interact with each other is the how and why we recharge our core humanity. Isolation starts with a rebellion against God, and we must be conscious about the human need to be connected.

I will not divide my humanity, nor concede my core view of fellowship, simply to comply with the demand of another that I consider my brother or sister of greater or less equity than myself.  Any business that chooses that path will not benefit from my economic participation.  I also choose freedom!

Each of us has a different connection to our community. Each of us has a different level of internal strength… such is the nature of living. However, the distance between people is manifestly not a good outcome when combined with the lack of food for the soul.

Ultimately, it is the currency of human connection that is the true value in our lives.

We have each felt how our positive influence upon the lives of others nourishes our own sense of purpose and fulfillment.  Do not lose that. Do not think you can compensate for that through other arbitrary measures; you cannot.

Our nation needs more people like you, right now.  Don’t wait… engage life, get optimistic however you need to do it. Then let that part of you shine right now… This is how we fight.  Hold up that flag; give the starter smile… rally to the standard you create and spread fellowship.

God knows we need it.

You are not alone…

Report – Peter Thiel Is FBI Confidential Human Source


Posted originally on the CTH on October 19, 2023 | Sundance

I have no idea whether this report is accurate, but given the nature of events and revelations in the past several years – this seems plausible, possibly likely.

In the aftermath of the 2020 election outcome, several people on the more libertarian/conservative side of the political spectrum, were concerned about being targeted by an Obama third term. As the rather revelatory story is told today, that provided the motive for Peter Thiel to cozy up to the FBI and avoid being a target.

Business Insider is reporting that Billionaire PayPal founder Peter Thiel became a “confidential human source” for the FBI in 2021. The outline claims that known FBI informant Charles Johnson brought Thiel into the relationship. The exact specifics of what Thiel did for the FBI are unknown.

[READ FULL STORY HERE]

Overstock founder Patrick Byrne was/is also an FBI asset, using his money in conservative circles to support entities of interest to the government. Byrne provided the seed money for Dave Rubin’s Locals platform. Robert Mercer did the same with Breitbart, and Rebekkah Mercer did the same thing with Parler.  Billionaire Paul Singer did the same thing with The Washington Free Beacon.

Interestingly, Peter Thiel has a networked relationship with several people of “conservative” influence – including Tucker Carlson. It is strongly suspected that Thiel is one of the financial backers of Tucker Carlson’s new media venture. {Go Deep}

People often ask me why CTH viciously protects our independence, enjoys staying small and refuses to take lucrative offers for platform expansion. The reality is, The Truth Has No Agenda – but the majority of the characters you run into within the information space generally do. lol.

Eyes of a Mouse…. Ears of an Elephant.

Keep living your best life.

On Eve of Trial Georgia Drops Felony Charges and Sidney Powell Pleads Guilty to Misdemeanors


Posted originally on the CTH on October 19, 2023 | Sundance 

Against the backdrop of Douglass Mackey (aka Ricky Vaughn) being sentenced to seven months in prison for a Twitter meme, and with the state having unlimited financial resources to drag the Lawfare trial out for months, and with a stacked jury likely in Fulton County, GA, lawyers representing Sidney Powell negotiated a misdemeanor plea deal which Powell has accepted.

The Fulton County DA drops all seven felony charges and with the plea Ms. Powell will serve probation, no jail time.

(VIA AP) – […] Powell, who was charged alongside Trump and 17 others with violating the state’s anti-racketeering law, entered the plea just a day before jury selection was set to start in her trial. She pleaded guilty to six misdemeanors accusing her of conspiring to intentionally interfere with the performance of election duties.

As part of the deal, she will serve six years of probation, will be fined $6,000 and will have to write an apology letter to Georgia and its residents. She also recorded a statement for prosecutors and agreed to testify truthfully against her co-defendants at future trials.

Powell was initially charged with racketeering and six other counts as part of a wide-ranging scheme to keep the Republican president in power after he lost the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden. Prosecutors say she also participated in an unauthorized breach of elections equipment in a rural Georgia county elections office.

[…]  She was about to go on trial on with lawyer Kenneth Chesebro after each filed a demand for a speedy trial. Jury selection was still set to begin Friday for Chesebro to go on trial by himself, though prosecutors said earlier that they also planned to look into the possibility of offering him a plea deal.

Jury selection was set to start Friday. Chesebro’s attorneys didn’t immediately respond to messages seeking comment Thursday on whether he would also accept a plea deal.

A lower-profile defendant in the case, bail bondsman Scott Graham Hall, last month pleaded guilty to five misdemeanor charges. He was sentenced to five years of probation and agreed to testify in further proceedings.

Steve Sadow, the lead attorney for Trump in the Georgia case, expressed confidence that Powell’s plea wouldn’t hurt his own client’s case.

“Assuming truthful testimony in the Fulton County case, it will be favorable to my overall defense strategy,” he said.  (read more)

I am sure that Ms. Powell did what she feels is in her best interest.

After all, the scales of Lawfare justice always tilt left.

Special Council Prosecution of Trump is to Violate Everyone Right to Vote


Armstrong Economics Blog/Revolution Re-Posted Oct 19, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

We have a MAJOR problem with this special counsel, Jack Smith. He sought a gag order to prevent Trump from criticizing President Biden. That had absolutely NOTHING to do with his criminal case. As Epoch Times has pointed out, Smith charged Trump and used grand juries from Washington because 60%+ have responded that they would find Trump guilty before hearing any evidence.

District of Columbia County, DC, is so LEFT that it would fail a drug driving test and be unable to walk a straight line. In the District of Columbia County, DC, 92.1% voted Democrat in the last presidential election, 5.4% voted for the Republican Party, and the remaining 2.5% voted Independent. There is absolutely no way anything Trump says would influence the jury pool in a city that is so un-American because it lives off the graft of Washington.

Asking for a gag order to stop Trump from criticizing Joe Biden directly proves that this guy belongs in prison and should be removed as Special Counsel. He has violated everyone’s civil rights, and a class action suit against him and the Justice Department should be filed instantly. This has NOTHING to do with January 6th but with the 2024 election. In New York, that prosecutor is unworthy of having any license to practice law whatsoever. She has moved to strip Trump of business licenses in New York. He should sell everything and get the hell out of the most corrupt state in the Union. That was selective prosecution, for anyone who borrows money will always list their assets at the top of valuation. Under her theory, you could shut down virtually every company with loans in New York. She looks the other way regarding the bankers who have disrupted the economy numerous times.

Under 18 USC 594, Smith is now guilty. Attempting to interfere is still a violation. He has conspired with others in Washington to interfere in the 2024 election. These people are insane. NOBODY will believe the 2024 election results. This will be the last nail in the coffin of the United States.

There is no possible way these Republics will survive. Already, Brazil and Argentina looked at what the US is doing to Trump and said that’s a good idea. They are using criminal law to stop political opponents.

2024 will be the catalyst that turns even those on the fence about the integrity of government. This is why they are bringing in digital IDs and will impose travel restrictions based on your political views. Governments have become so corrupt that instead of reform, they will knuckle down and try an authoritarian approach to sustain their power.

It gives me no pleasure to warn that our computer has been projecting chaos post-2024.  All governments start out being benevolent. But because our Founding Fathers failed to impose term limits, we ended up with career politicians who spend their lives there, and thus, they no longer see themselves as part of We the People. Unfortunately, our children and grandchildren will never know how great it was growing up in the 1950s and 1960s. The world they will face is now obsessed with how you think and if you are LEFT v RIGHT.

“Barry’s Fingerprints Are All Over This”…


Posted originally on the CTH on October 18, 2023 | Sundance

In discussion of the Middle East, the current dynamic of Hamas attacking Israel, and the necessary, albeit perhaps painful response that will now be delivered by Israel, some have noted Obama’s fingerprints are all over this.  It’s true, and it is worth remembering the history of this as it pertains to the U.S. triggering the Arab Spring as the first deployment of Obama’s foreign policy.

Obama didn’t travel to Cairo, Egypt for his first foreign policy trip accidentally; he did it with great intent and purpose.

The layers and layers of ideologues he and Hillary embedded in the institutions of the State Dept are as deep as the layers of ideologues Obama embedded in Main Justice and the intelligence community.

The time when Barry needed to give directions is long past. The embeds are self-aware, acting on purpose, and the outcomes we see today are simply manifestations of that activity.

It is also worth remembering there’s an entire new generation of people, who were in their 20’s and 30’s comfortably oblivious to what was taking place between 2009 and 2017, when the embeds were installed.  That era of the American people is only now starting to have their own slow awakening to the damage as it surfaces.

When Obama aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood, only a small percentage of the American people actually saw the big picture and realized the potential for long term issues.  Few people understood the nature of how political Islam would manifest with the extremist ideologues under their guide of the Brotherhood as an organization. Al-Qaeda, al-Nusra, ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah et al, all fall under the extremist rubric of the Brotherhood, or what might be considered authentic Islam.

The zookeepers of the Middle East watched as the Obama network supported the opening of the big cat cages.  The aftermath was predictable, and within that dynamic, those zookeepers who survived have had enough of the Obama/Biden crisis.  That’s why you see people like Abdel Fattal al-Sisi (Egypt), King Abdullah II (Jordan), and Mohammed Bin Salman (Saudi Arabia), completely shunning Joe Biden.  They’ve simply had enough.

President Donald Trump represented a new dynamic within this complex relationship, a new dynamic that was actually respected and appreciated for the lack of cultural demand and the simple honesty he presented.  Yes, with Trump there are positive things that can be accomplished in common cause, but that’s not the Obama/Biden ideological approach.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping are only able to influence the Middle East because the leadership within the Middle East has tired of the American manipulative agenda under Obama/Biden.  Egypt joining BRICS, and the expansion of the trade bloc, is one small geopolitical step in the diminishment of the overall American influence.  Beneath the surface, all respect for the USA is gone, at least for the Obama/Biden approach, and we are seeing that play out in current events.

Yes, Barry’s fingerprints are all over this current dynamic; and yes, the leadership in the Middle East has tuned out their voices.

The zookeepers give cursory and polite responses, but under the surface there is no influence left.

Obama/Biden and the larger ideological West will chase windmills and solar nonsense; the rest of the world won’t have time for that.  It’s a completely different geopolitical landscape now, despite the ideologues in the U.S. institutions pretending they have influence.

Barry is a pathetic narcissist who will never admit to his failure.  However, the history books -just like his own autobiographical author- will reduce him down to a pathetic ego-driven small man of little character.  Biden will be an asterisk.

President Trump and NYC Legal Team Outline the Farce in New York Case Against Trump’s Business


Posted originally on the CTH on October 17, 2023 | Sundance

President Trump and Alina Habba speak to the media following another day of nonsense testimony in the New York civil case against Donald Trump.

President Trump again reiterates the construct of the case against him as a political effort with no foundational premise in legal statute.  The lending institutions did their own due diligence; there are no victims, all the banks and finance offices were repaid with interest and ahead of schedule; there were no defaults and all lenders were satisfied with the terms, conditions and results.   WATCH:

BELOW: President Trump’s lawyer, Alina Habba, then reads the first page of the lending agreement to the media so they can better understand the nature of the fraudulent case being attempted by the State of New York.

Obtuse, Thy Name is Chutkan


Posted originally on the CTH on October 17, 2023 | Sundance

In one of the most disingenuously undefined judicial rulings in recent memory, U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan says President Trump may not “target” a member of the court or prosecution in his rebuke of their official offices against him. [3-page pdf HERE]

[SOURCE]

Obviously, Judge Chutkan intends to give herself the most latitude possible when defining what terms of speech may end up being considered “targeting.” However, criticism is not a possible definition in ordinary parlance. So, we’ll see.

Additionally, Chutkan did not outline what -if any- punishment would be levied in the event she considers any statement to be considered “targeting.” The lawfare games continue…
