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.
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)

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)

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.
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.

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.
Fulton County prosecutors drop all 7 felony charges against Sidney Powell – in exchange for a misdemeanor plea.

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]
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…
Funded by the Pentagon, the RAND Corporation’s National Security Research Division published its annual report to note potential risks to national security. RAND researchers found that aging politicians may be a danger to the US. “Taken together, we believe that an increasing number of cleared personnel — that is, personnel who hold or have held security clearances — have or will have dementia,” concluded the RAND researchers.
Joe Biden has the codes to our nuclear weapons, allegedly, but can’t recall what he had for breakfast. McConnell has begun freezing amid conferences and everyone looks the other way. Feinstein relinquished the rights of her own estate because she doesn’t trust her current mental health. We’ve seen Biden make countless remarks about his handlers telling him where to go, who to call upon, and what to say. Yet even though these people work for us, they refuse to leave office.
Researchers found that aging US politicians have “difficulty remembering new information, poor judgment, impulsivity, disorientation, and behavioral changes.” We’ve seen the commander-in-chief exhibit all of these symptoms. The report notes that those with dementia are very vulnerable and may be targeted by an adversary. It is not possible for someone with this degenerative condition to hold onto classified information, let alone make informed decisions on behalf of the nation.
RAND researchers believe that the US government should codify a process to keep track of elderly individuals with security clearances to monitor them for symptoms of dementia. Our current Congress is the oldest in American history. The average Democratic senator is 65, while the average Republican senator is 63. Joe Biden became the oldest president of the United States at 77, and 77% of Americans believe he is simply to old for a second term. Dementia is a completely avoidable threat to national security if we hold elected officials accountable.
QUESTION: Do you think it is impossible for anyone to forecast a market from a personal opinion perspective? I have followed your long-term forecasts and they have been amazing. But that is Socrates not you individually. Correct?
FD
ANSWER: Of course! Nobody, alive or dead, can forecast the future of any market or economy from a personal opinion basis. We learn in life from our mistakes – not our victories. The fool never blames himself but always someone else. That guarantees they will never advance in life – they are vindictive idiots incapable of learning anything.
Back in 2015, I personally was hoping that gold would just crack $1,000. Had that taken place, we would have seen a major bull market. The computer gives us the time. That is not subject to opinion. That is why so many institutions rely on us. It is the same model in the world. What came afterward has been a slow rally, which has now three attempts to really break out, So this traps people on false moves and wears them down. It is the opposite of what I was hoping for in 2015, personally. The computer overrides my personal expectations, for that is what people look to – not my opinion.
Had gold cracked the $1,000 level, it would have been more like 1985 when it cracked $300, and everyone threw in the towel. Then, people kept shorting, expecting it to fall back to $100. That is what fueled the rally – constant sort positions. The failure to crack $1,000 in 2015 did not create the constant short-covering. It has been nothing but tired long positions praying for gold to go to $10,000. This is why you see the three failed attempts. There has not been a collapse in the confidence in government needed just yet. That is coming. Normally, the FOURTH time is the charm. They have already bought it. They are waiting for the rally – not buying more every day. These are observations of a trader – not forecasts.
For timing, we look to Socrates. Not my personal gut feeling.
The long-term forecasts have been spot on. That is not whether gold cracks the $1,000 or stopped at $1031. There is so much noise in the system that if gold or the Dow jumps 10% in a month, it still does not change the long-term trend. That is what the timing is for, and that is not based on human opinion.
There are people who try to discourage people from looking at Socrates. They are the same old people who hate geopolitical forecasting and are not honest; they are shills. No analyst is perfect for 40 years. So, there is a hidden agenda. Why? When it comes to the major forecasts like the fall of Communism, the Crash of 1987, the peak in gold in 2013, and even the 2007-2009 Great Recession – the computer has been spot on. Even forecasting that Ukraine would be where the war begins. That is what they do not want anyone to look at.
They are desperate to try to prevent people from looking at Socrates. Even in court, the Judge claimed I stole the idea of Pi from a movie in 1998, yet I had published the ECM more than 20 years before. It is astounding how far the government, with its fake narratives and its control of Wikipedia, is so desperate to prevent people from looking at the long-term forecasts. They do not like that they forecast by 2032 all of these Republican forms of government will collapse. The WEF and all their co-conspirators will FAIL! So, as always, they fear I have too much influence, and they never stop trying to prevent people from looking at Socrates. It is laughable that they want to claim I am personally wrong because something like gold cracking $1,000 v stopping at $1031 so you should not look at the real forecasts. Nobody can forecast consistently from a personal opinion perspective. We are all human. The long-term forecasts are NOT my opinion.
I have been named America’s top economist for forecasting the fall of Communism and the Japanese Bubble. I was named Fores Person of the Year for forecasting the collapse of the Swiss/Euro Peg. I was named Hedge Fund Manager of the Year for correcting trading during the Russian collapse where even George Soros lost $2 billion. See the Deutschbank Track Record of my fund below. I have returned from managing money – so no inquiries, please. It’s too much of a distraction in these perilous times.
Even in the movie they did on me, they filmed the forecasts from 2011 to 2014. Watch the film and see how many forecasts were correct. In the film, it is even said that in checking me out, Goldman Sachs replied that they believed they could crush me, but I usually won. I traded against all the big boys. They complained that I was correct ONLY because I had too much influence. I was even accused of manipulating the world economy because after they paid bribes for a guaranteed trade, they still lost. These people even tried to kill me. I was in a coma for several days, but I survived to their dismay. So, anyone who tries to disparage the forecast is typically on the payrolls of people who never want to meet.
They illegally held me in contempt for 7 years on a statute that authorized a maximum term of 18 months. I was released only when I got to the Supreme Court, and they ordered the government to explain what was going on. They released me and told the Supreme Court the case was then moot. I would have died in prison if the Supreme Court did not order the government to explain. They had no problem violating every law to ensure my silence.
Even the Business Insider at least reported the truth. I was even thrown into the highest security alongside the World Trade Center Terrorist from the first Attack, sharing a cell with one. They told my family I was not there in the prison. It took finally a judge to order them to find me in prison, no less. I have witnessed every possible scheme. They are doing this same strategy to Trump, thinking they could discredit him and nobly will vote for him. But the latest poll shows that he now has a 49-point lead, and 60% of the people polled said they would vote for Trump. This is the standard campaign to try to discredit a person. They are scared to death of Trump, and they have been scared to death of the forecast of my model for their demise.
Wikipedia refuses to publish the truth. Anyone who tries to correct the page, it is immediately removed. The Bank pled guilty, and returned the money it stole from my clients, and my plea is I failed to tell my clients over a weekend that the bank stole the money for “it’s own benefit”. This is like you murdered your spouse, and I failed to tell the government you did that, so I go to prison for conspiracy to murder.
My clients supported me. They refused to sign any criminal complaint against me. So the government and the bankers then put a gag order on me to prevent me from helping my clients sue the bank. You just cannot make up this stuff.
Wikipedia is now controlled by the Deep State, as is mainstream media. Here, the Founder of Wikipedia explains that it is no longer independent. ANYONE who tries to prevent anyone from looking at Socrates is part of the conspiracy against We the People. Look at what they have done to Julian Assange – total disgrace. They also intended to silence him as well. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the NEOCON, denied Australia’s insistence to end the prosecution against Assange. They are applying pressure now, and they may force the USA to yield, or they will not comply with the NEOCON demands. These people are absolutely horrible. When you look into their eyes, all you see is hatred and coldness, as if they are devoid of anything but pure evil. The CIA triedto bribe analysts to change their conclusions on the lab leak over COVID. There is NOTHING that comes from the government anymore that can be trusted. This is all part of 2032.
Larry Sanger, one of the founders of Wikipedia, states plainly it is now all propaganda.

I wish I could find something positive and optimistic in this announcement; unfortunately, the posturing moves of the DC machinery never lead to a genuine level of accountability. The UniParty protects its own.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announces the beginning of a formal impeachment inquiry stemming from the financial fraud and schemes deployed by the Biden family as they sold their positions for personal financial gain. WATCH:
[Transcript] – “In recent months, House Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden’s conduct; taken together, these allegations paint a picture of a culture of corruption.
“Now, here’s what we know so far:
“Through our investigations, we have found that President Biden lied to the American people about knowledge of his family’s foreign business dealings.
“Eyewitnesses have testified that the President joined multiple phone calls and had multiple interactions, dinners, resulting in cars and millions of dollars to his son and his son’s business partners.
“Bank records show that nearly $20 million in payments were directed to Biden family members and associates through various shell companies.
“The Treasury Department, alone, has more than 150 transactions involving the Biden family and other business associates that were flagged as “suspicious activity” by U.S. banks.
“Even a trusted FBI informant has alleged a bribe to the Biden family.
“Biden used his official office to coordinate with Hunter Biden’s business partners about Hunter’s role in Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company.
“Finally, despite these serious allegations, it appears that the President’s family has been offered special treatment by Biden’s own administration; treatment he would not otherwise have received if he were not related to the President.
“These are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction, and corruption, and they warrant further investigation by the House of Representatives.
“That’s why today, I am directing our House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. This logical next step will give our committees the full power to gather all the facts and answers for the American public.
“It’s exactly what we want to know, the answers, and I believe the President would want to answer these questions and allegations as well.
“This effort will be led by Chairman James Comer at the Committee on Oversight, in coordination with Chairman Jim Jordan of the Judiciary Committee and Chairman Jason Smith on Ways and Means.
“I don’t make this decision lightly. And Regardless of your party or who you may have voted for, these facts should concern all Americans.
“The American people deserve to know that public offices are not for sale – and that the federal government is not being used to cover up the actions of a politically-associated family.
“I would encourage the President and his team to fully cooperate with this investigation in the interest of transparency.
“We are committed to getting the answers for the American public – nothing more, nothing less.

President Donald J. Trump has announced an 11:00am ET press conference for Monday, August 21st, to highlight evidence of Georgia election fraud. The Republican apparatus in Georgia is going to go bananas.
It’s not the Democrats and totalitarian leftists that are going to go bananas…. It’s the Republican Party apparatus, fraught with fear that their constructs are about to be revealed, who we will see going on the attack.
Corrupt Republicans are far more vicious than ordinary corrupt leftists and communists. The corrupt Republicans have far more to lose. Watch what happens.

Many casual political observers have been wondering about why the Georgia republican apparatus, including Brian Kemp, doesn’t just get involved and shut down the nonsense coming from Fulton County and political prosecutor Fani Willis. It’s an understandable reference point and curiosity, but if you understand Georgia republican politics you understand why the political leadership actually support Fani Willis.
Former House Speaker, Republican John Boehner (far left), and current Georgia Republican Governor, Brian Kemp (far right), attend a Stop Trump political strategy session in Sea Island, Georgia, May 2023.The strategy session was how to align with Democrats to destroy the MAGA insurgency.
Republican and Democrat politics is a club structure. Factually, voters are irrelevant in the system the two private corporations have constructed. Whether you align with Republicans or you choose to align with Democrats, the main thing to always remember is – they don’t care. Voters are not part of the RNC/DNC party construct. Voters are irrelevant. The interests of voters are not part of any discussion that takes place inside the private corporations.
On a scaled basis of control, the Georgia republican apparatus is near the top of the GOPe structure for total operational control. Georgia voters are even less relevant than other states. Georgia voters, much like Texas voters, are the least important part of the party process.
Georgia and Texas are closed party states. Much like “districts” in the former Soviet era, Texas and Georgia are under the control of private party officers. If you live in either of these states, and if you try to effect political organizing that impacts the party apparatus, you are an annoying gnat to be removed.
We the people do not have voting processes in these states (Arizona, Nevada and more recently Alaska are examples), we have the illusion of the voting process.
Control is the key in these totalitarian illusions of democracy. If Fani Willis is targeting the group who organize against the interests of Brian Kemp and the Republican club leadership, she is doing them a favor. Brian Kemp and his Republican party crew support corrupt district attorney Fani Willis, just like former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell supported U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder in the targeting of the Tea Party (2011, 2012). The alignments are exactly identical.
There are states where the professional [GOPe] republican grip is tight, and there are states where the MAGA insurgency has gained strength loosening that corporate club grip. Georgia is a state where the party apparatus is gripping the reins tight and not willing to let the populist movement impede their professional political stranglehold.
Governor Brian Kemp is to Georgia in 2024 as Govenor Haley Barbour was to Mississippi previously. Kemp controls the party machinery and Kemp has always despised the popular support for Donald Trump, an unacceptable republican in the eyes of the party apparatus. It is not coincidental that Sea Island Georgia is the epicenter of the Wall Street assembly against the populist insurgency. Georgia is a battleground state for Republican power and control.
Before going further, watch this 20 second clip of MeAgain Kelly interviewing Ron DeSantis recently. Notice the mindset, the point of reference for DeSantis, when Kelly pokes him about his distant polling to President Trump. Notice the state he references {Direct Rumble Link} WATCH:
Additionally, you guys already know the background of Georgia grassroots activists booing Kemp at the state convention, and the recent issue of Brian Kemp adviser Cody Hall joining team DeSantis while remaining a Kemp advisor.
Instead, this recent discussion which outlined details of “Closed-door Meetings Held Between DeSantis, Georgia Leadership and Kemp Immediately Following Legislative Session” warrants some attention.
[Via Georgia Record] – […] Brian K. Pritchard disclosed the meetings during his comments on The Georgia 2024 Show today. Mr. Pritchard explained that the day after the Georgia legislative session ended Gov. Ron DeSantis showed up in The Georgia Capitol building and was ushered into a series of closed-door meetings. These included a session with Republican Senators, a meeting with a group of Georgia House Members and House Leader Jon Burns, and a private lunch with Gov. Brian Kemp.
The subject of each of these discussions has been kept private, but clearly there was a reason and agenda for DeSantis to visit the Georgia Capitol.
Essentially what Brian K Pritchard outlines is some of the more recent boots on the ground data evidence that reconciles why Ron DeSantis and the Never Back Down PAC are so focused on Georgia in their talking points.
The Sea Island group of billionaires, influence agents, GOPe politicians, multinationals, Wall Street hedge funds and corporate republicans are manipulating the events in Georgia to support the roadmap that contains their nominee, Ron DeSantis.
Again, for reference, this is not a short-term issue. This is a long-term construct on behalf of the right-wing of the UniParty and the Bush clan apparatus to remove the threat of MAGA politics from their controlled party.
DeSantis is a tool, a vessel for these interests. The absentee Florida governor is not their candidate per se’, because the benefit DeSantis provides is not contained in his winning the 2024 primary, but rather in stopping Donald Trump from winning it.
In 2010 the Tea Party caught the corporate Republican party off guard, they reassembled their machinery and then attacked and removed the Tea Party influence in 2012. In 2016 the counterinsurgent Tea Party base found a way to fight back with Donald Trump; we reassembled and added more support from the middle and working class around the America First agenda and defeated Wall Street republicans again. However, every moment thereafter has been this battle between the party control operatives and the MAGA insurgents.
That battle has continued, and Georgia is the latest visible evidence of the war raging in the background.
We told you this was going to be very ugly, and it is unfolding exactly as we would expect.
It will get worse, much worse!
The key to defeating these Machiavellian constructs is to pour sunlight upon them.
