If you are wondering “why“, consider this:

A “Big Steal” requires an even BIGGER justification.

As the legislative branch of congress takes action to impeach President Trump, the fifth effort by the establishment UniParty to remove the impediment to their corrupt endeavors; and while that effort is in the fading days of an “America-First” administration that stands in opposition to the branch that has usurped their role as a body to hear “We The People”; opportunist House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy now places the blame for Wednesday’s riots at the Capitol on President Donald Trump… 

Despite his criticism Minority Leader McCarthy also says he believes impeaching the president in such a short time frame after last week’s violent protest at the Capitol would be a mistake….  Et Tu, Brute?

When you understand that any changes to this corrupt and self-serving system will not be accepted by those who command power and affluence; when you accept their willingness to deploy military around themselves in order to protect them from you; and when you realize they will use every system, including the ballot counting machines, to stop the American people from disrupting this corrupt system of self-aggrandizing elitism; you start to realize the diminished options for removing them from office.

Look, the siege of the Capital was clearly a staged event. They allowed people in because there were other operatives there as well. Here is a video of men in hoodies who the people thought were Antifa running out of the building. They at least responded that they were NOT Antifa. It is believed that these were the men who grabbed Pelosi’s Laptop. I have been warning that we are in a political coup and this is GLOBAL. The removal of Donald Trump was absolutely critical to their global agenda. Social Media is involved and they are desperately trying to shut everyone down who might expose the agenda.

This is a video of an Italian lawyer regarding the interference in the US election which is alleged to have been pulled off by US intelligence agencies who wanted Trump out to be free to wage war.

There is so much running around that it is hard right now to make sure what is true and what is false. Then we have people claiming it’s a plot of the central banks to rule the world with digital currencies. That is just absurd. This is a plot with a solution sold to world leaders by Klaus Schwab to cancel the debts public and private (you will own nothing and you’ll be happy) because the financial system is cracking and this is from the fiscal side of politicians – not the central banks.

This is what I have been saying, we are in the midst of a sovereign debt crisis and they are desperate to take over the government removing Trump for

1.  climate change,
2.  world coordination via UN, World Bank, IMF, WEF
3.  to eliminate currency moving to digital to be able to stop hoarding ane tax everyone and everything eliminating the underground economy.

That does NOT benefit the central banks – it benefits the politicians. People pushing the central bank scenario is either a false flag to hide the real agenda from the World Economic Forum, or they are just conspiracy theorists. It is the national debts that are in crisis. Digital currency to increase control of central banks is a diversion. It is the national debts of the politicians that can no longer be maintained

People are leaving Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and were moving to Parlar. Google and Apple removed the Parlar APP and then Amazon kicked then off of AWS. This is a complete purge going on of all conservatives. We are in the midst of nothing short of a real live Russian version of a revolution. Cheer up – you get to see what it was like to live history in a major confrontation between left and right. But make no mistake about it, the super-rich remains in power just behind the curtain. They own the press and social media while they use the virus to prevent people from gathering or organizing. It is their way or no way. Their motto: Resistance is Futile!

The SciFi Verison of Communism

Parler CEO John Matze appears on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo to discuss Parler.Com being deplatformed by Amazon and Big Tech.

Beyond the issues with Amazon controlling the server system for Parler, Mr. Matze outlines how the interior tech network, architecture and all subsidiary vendors notified Parler of their walking-away at the same time as the server notification from Amazon.

This interview about the challenges confronting Parler contains some context for the move CTH was able to accomplish in less than two weeks in November.  Remember, not only did we have a time crunch, we were also determined to be anti-fragile with CTH 2.0

The key to Treehouse 2.0 was/is recognizing we are building something within a system that wants to see us removed. Being proactive made us better stewards for our conversation. Remember, YOU are the important part.

Despite some tech issues with the disconnect and migration from WP/Automattic servers to our own proprietary server system, we succeed.  God and Angels on our shoulders.

Some background reminder so everyone can understand the big picture issues. Obviously WordPress/Automattic wanted us gone; however, in hindsight the unspoken purpose and motive behind our eviction is now making a lot more sense.

Based on insider information, there were two distinct issues that merged; sunlight upon them is against the interests of massive multi-billion dollar organizations, but at CTH the truth has no agenda, so here’s the inside explanation as it appears.

♦ Ideology – As they said in their post-election notification to deplatform, the “content” of CTH was against the terms of WordPress/Automattic:

…”given the incompatibility between your site’s content and our terms, you need to find a new hosting provider and must migrate the site by Wednesday, December 2nd.

This is not really a surprise as Big Tech looks for any obtuse or obscure reason to silence voices that are not in political alignment with their goals.

The decision by WP/Automattic is not surprising even if they would never publicly admit it. Quite simply, this battle has been going on for years and now it is at an inflection point. Alternates to the grip of Big Tech are starting to emerge, slowly.

♦ Business – In addition to the ideological nature of the motive, there is another element which has gained significant clarity in the past few weeks. Our CTH community did something WP/Automattic never expected… we were too successful.

The scale of the CTH reader and commenting community literally was/is a rebel alliance reeking havoc inside a host network that didn’t like our voice. Simultaneously, we were chewing up massive amounts of their server space and capacity.  This is very interesting.

According to insiders who have reached out and shared their opinion, what CTH evolved into is far more than a simple blogging community. Essentially the metaphor provided is this: “you took a blog platform and built a mini FaceBook social media enterprise within it.”  The CTH community, our extended global family of ragtag misfits, was/is using CTH as a network of like-minded friends to share and discuss information.

You might say well, isn’t that what a blogging community is all about… and the answer eleven years ago was a simple: yes. However, our assembly became much, much, much larger than a simple community.

The scale of having up to 25,000 simultaneous users is way beyond a simple blogging platform. CTH became a social media enterprise. Discussions, information sharing, networking and contact with each-other is what social media was all about.

The FaceBook social media model is essentially operating in our site. That’s an awesome outcome, but one WP/Automattic did not expect. In essence CTH hijacked the platform to create a social network.

All of that engagement costs the host (WP/Automattic) server space and massive amounts of bandwidth. Despite my paying for their hosting services (business plan), we were essentially living cheap, almost rent free, inside their platform.  Once we realized this was also an element of concern, some prior work by WP/Automattic to control CTH made sense.

There is an interesting conversation happening in the coffee shops of Big Tech about this issue… WordPress/Automattic can never admit the unique financial problem that CTH created for them.

The business model for WP/Automattic is to sell the potential outcome of exactly what we achieved. WP/Automattic pitches their business plan by saying you can build a blogging community and share your voice.

Well, we took them up on that offer ten years ago and we built the biggest community within their system; a massive community. We did exactly what the marketing people at WP/Automattic say is possible… except we did it bigger than they ever imagined. Our success at achieving the scale of community created a problem they can never admit.

If WordPress/Automattic were to be honest now about the financial impact of users -like CTH- achieving success, they would be undercutting the entire marketing/advertising plan of their hosting platform.

The honest sales approach from WP/Automattic would be to say: we can provide you a platform, up until you achieve significant success; and then, it is in our financial interests, for you to leave. Obviously WP/Automattic would never sell their product if they were honest… so they look for reasons, any reasons, to control or eliminate the community. THAT appears to have been a big part of what drove their decision.

It was not a surprise that WP/Automattic kicked-us out immediately after they went into the market to get more money to expand operations. CTH was costing them money, perhaps a lot of money. As a consequence not only were they hosting a voice against their ideological interests, that voice was so big it was costing them money. Combine both factors and you get the insufferable excuse “your content” is against our interests.

Believe me, this financial ‘cost to host‘ issue is a big topic in the background of conversations in the tech industry. The hypocrisy of selling a product they do not really want to see succeed is a very interesting conversation. Sunlight upon this motive in the world of tech is kinda funny.  The Automattic members can never allow this to be widely known; but the people within the machinery know exactly what the issues are.

♦ So, what does that mean to CTH 2.0? Well, we have a big server network hosting us right now – and it ain’t cheap (by a long shot). To give you an idea of how unique this situation is, they cannot calculate cost until they see the Content Delivery Network (CDN) data-results for scale.

This is uncharted territory. Our commenting community, specifically the number of simultaneous users, is essentially like a mini Facebook inside their server network. No-one has any idea how to manage this outside of pre-existing social media platforms that generate millions/billions in upfront revenue and construct proprietary and dedicated server farms.

It’s a good problem.. so everyone says.

It’s a good problem from the perspective of those who would love to monetize our network/community. However, that is not the purpose of our assembly.

To the extent our community will need money to securely exist and thrive safely, publicly and with privacy protections on an independent platform, that is ok. However, we will not collect any data on users at any time.  The true value in our community is our fellowship and the search for the truth.

“They’re smiling in your face

All the time they’re tryin’ to take your place

The back stabbers…back stabbers”

Yesterday I watched a parade of Republican traitors stab our president in the back. All of them claimed outrage, therefore they had to support Biden. For the good of the country, of course. Our Republic ended not with a bang, but rather whimpering displays of virtue signaling.

Led by planted Antifa agitators, some pro-Trump protestors stormed the Capitol Dome, which was arranged in advance to be easily breached. Chaos ensued. After the murder of one Trump patriot, the mainstream media blamed it all on Trump. Even though the president was clearly not to blame. He did not call for violence or entry into the capitol. We MAGA patriots got the blame. I drew a cartoon about the protest and Facebook told me I was inciting violence. My page was banned. Twitter banned the cartoon.

Everywhere the long knives are out for Trump. We could have expected such behavior from the globalist neocons such as Romney, Junior Bush, and the never-Trumpers, but many Republicans whom I thought were patriots quickly caved and switched their allegiance to Biden. It’s all disheartening to say the least. Even Steve Daines, the Montana junior senator whom I voted for, turned on Trump. FoxNews was particularly shameless in their backstabbing.

Those of us who want to protect our freedoms and our Republic will now come under sustained attack. The Democrats want revenge. They were successful in their socialist coup by means of a stolen election, aided by foreign powers. We will never have free elections again. They have now become scripted. It’s theater. They will pretend we have a choice. We don’t. We have totalitarianism and the back stabbers are all too eager to ensure they have a role to play in our subjugation.

What a disgrace.

—Ben Garrison

America, you’ve been robbed blind by the Democrats; denied your day in court; denied your 1st Amendment rights and had the president you voted for denied the dignity of being able to leave the White Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By Judi McLeod —— Bio and Archives—January 8, 2021

Although it was the last thing they expected, Trump supporters at Wednesday’s Stop the Steal Rally, had the tables turned on them by the Democrats’  11th-hour attempt for the Impeachment of their duly elected president.

Trump supporters who came out by the hundreds of thousands thought their rally was about Saving America from the results of a rigged 2020 election, were unaware that their gathering would be eclipsed by Antifa storming the U.S. Capitol—that the Democrats and media would turn around and blame on the president and them.

Within 24 short hours the rallying cry would morph from “Save America” to “Impeach Donald Trump” on his way out of the White House Door.

The first Impeachment attempt died a humiliating death on the Senate floor days before the Coronavirus outbreak in 2020. A coronavirus whose deaths—thanks to vice president Michael Pence would ultimately be blamed on President Trump.

(More on that down copy).

But the Impeachment corpse was dragged back from its grave one day after Wednesday’s Stop the Steal March in Washington, DC.

Some political tools never really die.

Pence, who turned his back on the president the same day as the rally was taking place left an opening for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi:

“Speaker Nancy Pelosi has called on Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, which allows for the removal of President Trump if he is unable to discharge his duties. (Yahoo News, Jan. 7, 2020)

“If they fail to do so, she said the Congress “may be prepared to move forward with impeachment” against Trump for instigating rioters to attack the Capitol building on Wednesday.

“In calling for this seditious act, the president has committed an unspeakable assault on our nation and our people,” Pelosi said. She called Trump “a very dangerous person who should not continue in office.”

“In the early hours of Thursday morning, the joint session of Congress completed the job of certifying Biden and Harris as the winners of the 2020 election. The two houses twice convened in separate sessions to consider objections to the electoral count in Arizona and Pennsylvania. After debate, both objections were defeated by overwhelming margins in the Senate and narrower margins in the House.

Why are the Democrats seeking to Impeach the President 12 days out from the Jan. 20 Biden-Harris inauguration?

Because vengeance is theirs and not the Lord’s, according to them.

“Meanwhile, the FBI and local police are reviewing video in an effort to identify and prosecute “Trump supporters” who trespassed in the Capitol building. (Yahoo)

Why aren’t they looking at identifying members of Antifa who were able to use scaffolding on the west side of the Capitol building—already in place for the Biden inauguration as their chief means to gain access for the melee?

Isn’t it because the Democrats and a compliant media had written “Trump supporters” large into the narrative and not on-the-loose anarchistic Antifa?

In this late in the game sabotage of a nation, has anyone else noticed how everything has come full circle two days after the insurrection supposedly called for by Trump and his supporters?

ANYONE?

Served up on a platter to Fox News star Tucker Carlson one day after Wednesday’s ‘Insurrection at the Capitol’, President Donald Trump’s bloodied head.

Tucker Claims that Trump “recklessly encouraged” rioters. (The Hill, Jan. 7, 2021)

Carlson wasn’t the only one.  Last night the president was served up ‘Mrs. Nice’ advice by Laura Ingraham, suggesting that Trump ought to congratulate Joe Biden, and invite him over to the White House for a friendly visit.

Hard to drum up friendly feelings for Biden when the entire social media network blocks you from telling folk about how Election 2020 was stolen.

No mention from Ingraham, or any other Fox News talking head that this invite would be coming after Trump won the election in a landslide, had it successfully stolen from him—with the Supreme Court refusing to hear evidence, the Justice Department refusing to seriously investigate and the Democrats, along with Carlson blaming Trump for “INCITING” the assault in Congress and on and on.

As the horrors of the Wednesday mob were being repeatedly reported on by a complacent-with Democrats media, we were given to believe that Vice President Pence had suddenly turned on the president.

Uh huh.

“Vice President Mike Pence is reportedly enraged at President Donald Trump over the way he has acted this week in response to the 2020 election results, a Republican senator said. (The Blaze, Jan. 7, 2020)

“Oklahoma GOP Sen. Jim Inhofe reportedly had a “long conversation” with Pence Tuesday night, during which the normally cool-headed vice president conveyed acute frustration to him.

“I’ve known Mike Pence forever,” Inhofe told local news outlet Tulsa World Tuesday. “I’ve never seen Pence as angry as he was today.

Neither have we, Sen. Inhofe.  All we’ve seen is a bland, milquetoast Pence for the past four years, which turned out to be an excellent cover for his possible sabotage of the president with Dr. Tony Fauci.

“I had a long conversation with him,” Inhofe added. “He said, ‘After all the things I’ve done for [Trump].’” (Blaze)

Does this include doing Trump in, Sen. Inhofe?

“Over the last week, Trump pressured Pence to use his vice presidential power while presiding over a joint session of Congress Wednesday to block congressional certification of election results in battleground states. The president then publicly attacked Pence for not carrying out the action Wednesday. (Blaze)

As it turns out, Pence was sabotaging his boss as far back as last July.

‘Vice President Pence defends Fauci as White House sends mixed messages on health expert’

“WASHINGTON – Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday defended Dr. Anthony Fauci in public comments made soon after he tweeted out a photo of the two of them at the White House. (USA Today, July 15, 2020)

“Dr. Fauci is a valued member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force,” Pence said on a campaign call with reporters when asked about recent attacks on Fauci by others in the administration. “We just completed our latest meeting today and we couldn’t be more grateful for his steady counsel.”

“Stephen Moore, a conservative economist and a member of the president’s task force to reopen the economy, told USA TODAY he and his team at the Committee to Unleash Prosperity are compiling a policy memo to highlight Fauci’s record as a longtime government health official, claiming he’s been wrong on predicting the course of pandemics.

“He’s become a big problem for Trump because he keeps contradicting what the White House is saying,” Moore said.

America, you’ve been robbed blind by the Democrats; denied your day in court; denied your 1st Amendment rights and had the president you voted for denied the dignity of being able to leave the White House on his own.

Meanwhile, as the hyenas are yapping, with no media complaining about their country about to be swallowed whole by Communism, the Dems are promising a never-coming peace.

As we approach the “peaceful transition” for the Jan. 20 Biden-Harris inauguration, the Democrats and media have managed to cut off all complaints about how some 75 million Trump voters lost the power of their votes on Election Night.

That’s peace, typical Democrat style.

COMMENT: The difference between Socrates and the fake pandemic or socialism or fake global warming is that people are allowed to take or leave the information presented here without threats or consequences. There is no force or bribing used to accept the results of the system…which is the determination of many inputs to drive an output. Thus it can be deemed as being a truthful representation of facts as much as the facts can be crunched together to return a logical or rational observation.
On the other hand, when we are forced to accept a certain idea or dogma and all facts and opinions counter to the agenda are quashed, ignored or erased, that signifies a tremendously high degree of fraud and deception. When we can no longer question authority, the fake experts or any of their rules, laws and dictates, you can safely assume they are flying a false flag and have ill-will plastered all over their minds and hearts. These are mainly the intellectuals who have allowed their arrogance and desire to control everything fry their brains.
This is now so true of many institutions…from government, big business, technology, pharma and the corrupt medical mafia to Wall Street and just about everything in between. In the end, the massive corruption as we are experiencing today cannot stand the test of time. When truth is no longer the basis for constructing concepts and laws, eventually the visions of a false utopia will crumble.
I plan to fight the thugs any way I can. And as a firm believer that NO government is required to rule anywhere in the world, I may not survive the coming fight. Reagan said it many years ago…government is not the solution, but the problem…and this while being one of the most powerful men on the planet. It was one of the last times we ever heard the truth from anyone in government!

REPLY: That is true. This has never been about my personal opinion. It is a shame too many people think only in terms of Trump v Biden as if we are debating about who is the better quarterback in a game.  Trump clashed with the Washington establishment. He never understood Washington from having to deal with them. Sure, give them money for lobbying and they will show up at your wedding as Hillary did. Donate money to them and they will lick your hand.

I have worked with many governments and dealt with both sides. Socrates projects the trend. I have been warning that inflation will return when the confidence shifts. This election it appears has been so corrupt, they have lost the confidence of 50% of the population and growing. This is the key to the end of the decline in velocity which peaked in 1997 and the first crack was the Long-Term Capital Management debacle in 1998. That was the first time the Federal Reserve bailed out the banks. Even since the gradual decline in government has unfolded which is in a 34-year decline into 2032.
