House Republicans Furious with Way Speaker Johnson Distributes Tenured Perks


Posted originally on the CTH on June 14, 2024 | Sundance

When I said in 2020 that House Republican representatives were generally focused on who gets the larger pieces of the cake during the office birthday party, many people just couldn’t fathom it.

With all the crisis, corruption, manipulation of government institutions, DOJ/FBI targeting and jaw-dropping weaponization that was stunningly evident, a large number of readers could not bring themselves to realize almost all House Republicans just didn’t care.  Fortunately, a lot more awakening has happened in the past four years, and I think people are now more willing to accept the reality of just how bad it is in Republican ranks.

If there was just one article this month, I would like to suggest everyone read THIS ONE IN POLITICO.   There’s no paywall; everyone can read it, and the context of it is, unfortunately, exactly as I would describe it myself.   I have witnessed first-hand, exactly what the article covers.

On the day after the Mar-a-Lago raid in 2022, the FBI raided the home of Pennsylvania Representative Scott Perry. {DETAILS}  Factually, there were a series of coordinated FBI raids and targeted inquisitions that were intentionally timed to trigger immediately after the August ’22 Trump raid.

What most people do not know was that President Trump’s former Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows essentially set up Scott Perry.   After the DOJ framed the J6 events as a “national security threat,” Mark Meadows was essentially a walking FISA virus.  Meadows sent Perry text messages via an encrypted Signal app, however, Signal was cooperating with the DOJ/FBI to give all communication to the targeting units of a weaponized surveillance state.

SIDEBAR: I believe Meadows knew his communication with Perry would be intercepted, because Meadows was an ¹operative for the Intelligence Community. I have pointed out the Meadows issues before.  Additionally, Meadows was absolutely confirmed as John Solomon’s source from Congress and likely from the Oval Office.  Meadows consistently leaked information to Hannity’s Tick Tock buddy, that the DOJ/FBI and IC wanted to see distributed.

¹Mark Meadows is a confirmed Deep State operative, and I would not bet against Solomon being a willing assistant and operative himself. [Chase his current storyline with that qualifier in mind, and you might have a different perspective. Seven years of “Breaking”, “Explosive”, “Game Changing”, “Exclusive”, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.  All of it with ZERO “big boom” accountability outcomes – exactly as designed.]

SIDEBAR OVER – Back to Perry.  Pennsylvania Representative Scott Perry became an FBI target in part because of his proximity to the epicenter of the AME church network voting fraud in Philadelphia [there’s a reason Biden goes there all the time], and in part because Perry was a supporter of President Trump and didn’t buy the illogical 2020 election outcome narrative. {NYT Link}

Well, last week House Speaker Mike Johnson appointed Scott Perry to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, or HPSCI as it is known.  Despite the MAGA reps supporting this selection, my hunch is that President Trump was the voice who leveraged Johnson to make this happen.  Now, the non-MAGA professional Republicans in the House are going bananas.

The backlash against the appointment of Perry to the HPSCI is a remarkable dose of sunlight upon all of the Republican deep state operatives in the House of Representatives.  Texas Rep Dan Crenshaw is so filled with rage he can’t see straight.

WASHINGTON DC – […] Crenshaw, a member of the Intelligence panel, added: “The speaker needs to remember that there isn’t only one group that can threaten them. … Just do not teach the lesson that the only way for us to be effective here is threatening, because I’ll take the lesson and I’ll do it.”

[…]  Beyond Crenshaw, a person familiar with the sitdowns said two separate groups of Republicans met with Johnson this week to share their frustrations about Perry’s appointment. That includes members of the Intelligence Committee who plan to meet with him on Thursday.

One Republican, who was granted anonymity to speak candidly, said no previous committee assignment has sparked as much internal anger as Johnson’s decision about Perry.

Another GOP member added that Perry’s appointment “was the talk for a day or two” among Republicans during their recent trip to France because of how “angry” lawmakers are.

“There’s a lot of pissed people. A lot of angry people. (read more)

Pour in the sunlight…. This is good stuff.   We need to find out exactly which Republicans are angered by the appointment of Perry to the HPSCI.  The problem is much bigger than the insufferable Dan Crenshaw.

Beyond the details of this story, stand back and look at the larger picture of how the HPSCI seats were historically assigned, against the background of how stunningly bad the HPSCI has been at holding the HPSCI Democrats like Adam Schiff to account.   Let yourself think about this.

Everyone gets frustrated by the insufferable ineptitude of the House Republicans who appear on committees, and as a consequence appear on television asking the wrong questions.   Well, overlay the silo problem with the reality that Republican House accountability processes (committee assignments) are determined by seniority and who plays nicely in DC.

…”a lot of people who have worked hard to be good team players feel like they are getting passed over,” (link)

Supreme Court Bombshell Decisions Due June 13th


Posted originally on Jun 7, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Supreme Court BW

The Supreme Court has 28 decisions still remaining, and there are a lot of really important cases that will shape history. The next opinion day will be June 13; this 2023-2024 term ends on June 28th. Buried within these 28 cases is the only one regarding deference to agencies known as the Chevron decision. Many hope that will be overruled, which will be a victory for the private sector, as well as the rulings on the abortion pill mifepristone. However, the political game changer will be former President Donald Trump’s presidential immunity. The court heard oral arguments in Trump v. United States on April 25.

It’s going to be a real legal mess, to say the least. I noticed that we had a Directional Change show up for announcement day – June 13th. That is very unusual, for it is the FIRST time I have ever seen the computer highlight on a Supreme Court announcement day. The Panic Cycle on the 17th is also showing up in the Euro.

UBCBT D Array 6 6 24

However, the FOMC meeting at the Federal Reserve is on the 11-12th. When we look at the 30-year bond, we can see a Panic Cycle and a Directional Change for the 12th. The computer has been able to forecast even FOMC meetings. Interestingly, we also have a panic cycle showing up on the 12th in some European markets. Add to this mess, we have the EU elections on June 9th.

The decision, especially on the Trump Immunity case, may have the biggest impact. Many people thought that the Supreme Court would remand it and instruct the district court to parse what is and what is not an official act. If the Supreme Court was going to do that, it would have a quick decision. This opens the door to two possibilities.

(1) The court will state that Trump has virtually absolute immunity. That is probably the wisest decision that would wipe out all cases against Trump. If this is NOT done, then there will be a very dangerous precedent, and you can bet that denying that immunity to Trump can then be used against Biden and even Obama if he intervenes in the current election. Granting virtual absolute immunity will save the USA from weaponizing the DOJ and transforming the nation into a banana republic. You can bet WHATEVER they have done to Trump, the other side will do to Biden et al.

(2) The Special Prosecutor has NO jurisdiction to do what he is doing. He was not appointed by Congress nor confirmed. He was a special appointment by the DOJ, and he actually does not even fall under prosecutorial immunity himself. That would be a valid decision that would end the Washington and Florida cases.

Chief Justice for 11th Circuit Court of Appeals Tells Clerk to Trash All Further Complaints Against Judge Cannon and Make it Public


Posted originally on the CTH on June 3, 2024 | Sundance

When the extreme leftists cannot get their way by manipulating the legal system through Lawfare, they come unglued.

The tribal leadership of Norm Eisen, Mary McCord, Andrew Weissmann and the larger Lawfare community have been waging an open media campaign against Florida Judge Aileen Cannon because in the Jack Smith documents case Judge Cannon is not giving them what they want.

It’s somewhat personal to the Lawfare crew because from the outset it has appeared that Eisen, McCord and Weissmann write the briefs and motions that Jack Smith files with the court.  If the Lawfare effort is being rejected, dismissed or diluted by Judge Cannon, the Lawfare tribe takes it personal and make appearances on leftist media networks, broadcasts and social media telling their followers to file judicial complaints against her.

In response to what the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals calls an “orchestrated campaign,” Chief Judge William Pryor of the 11th CCA has published a blistering order [SEE HERE], informing the clerk of the court not to accept any more complaints and to trash them.

[SOURCE pdf]

Making matters worse for the Lawfare pearl clutchers, Chief Justice Pryor tells the court’s clerk not to even respond to the complaints, just publish this order.  In the larger message the 11th CCA is essentially telling the Lawfare activists to knock it off, and this approach can have profoundly negative implications for Jack Smith’s ability to use the appeals court as a tool to target Judge Cannon.

“The Chief Judge for the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals is putting an official end to the THOUSANDS OF COORDINATED COMPLAINTS against Judge Aileen Cannon. Democrats are totally hysterical when they can’t control a courtroom (or a SC Justice like Alito).”  ~ Mark Mendlovitz

Maria Bartiromo Questions Rep. Russell Fry About Lack of Action from Government Weaponization Committee


Posted originally on the CTH on May 10, 2024 | Sundance 

There’s something that sometimes starts to give the appearance of being contrived when, after all this time, DC pundits suddenly start getting angry on the TV and talking about what people want to see happen.

In this video segment Ms Maria Bartiromo gets very angry with South Carolina Republican Representative Russell Fry who talks about the political attacks against President Trump. Congressman Fry outlines the problem, yet provides no solution. WATCH:

US’s Political Prisoner – What They Do When They Have no Case


Posted Apr 21, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

QUESTION: What do you think about their treatment with Jake Lang?

H

ANSWER: Something is seriously wrong in his case. He has spent more than three years in pre-trial detention, which violates his Constitutional right to Speedy Trial, which states the government MUST put him on trial within seventy days. The only way is to waive that right, which his lawyers probably did without telling him because court-appointed lawyers are ALWAYS working for the government to keep that job. They have a virtual perfect losing record of 99% in general.

The government is throwing him into solitary confinement pretrial, which is what they ALWAYS do to try to torture someone into pleading when they do not have the evidence to convict. You only do that when you try to break someone. But the fact that they are doing this to him is all about how they are engaging in torture, which the courts claim it is not unless you leave a mark on someone’s body. Court overlook psychological torture and confinement torture. They are trying to compel him to plead guilty because they have problems with the case. Yes, he was beating an officer. But he claims that was in self-defense. There is the problem. Who threw the first punch?

Even worse, someone needs to contact him, for his court-appointed lawyers are clearly working for the government. I have NEVER met a court-appointed lawyer who EVER actually defends their pretend client. They are a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Without fake lawyers, the government would NEVER keep their 99% conviction rate.

Lang Jake

Lang has spent much of his incarceration in the Washington, D.C. jail. However, he says he also has been shuttled to jails and prisons in New York City, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, and Oklahoma during his three years in custody. This is what they do to break people. It is called DISEL THERAPY because you are shackled with legs and hands, thrown into a bus, starved, and abused in every possible way, all to break you down to plead guilty. He is a pretrial in DC – not shipped like cattle nationwide. How could he show up in court in DC when in Oklahoma? The judge is in on it.

Government never admits mistakes

They do this when they do not have a case. The Bureau of Prisons takes orders from the Prosecutor, which is illegal, but it will NEVER admit that in court. You are dealing with people who spit on the Constitution, and they are only concerned about winning at any cost.

If anyone has access to him, please pass on this message. The Habeas Statute that would cover him BEFORE conviction is

28 U.S. Code § 2241

The jurisdiction of that is wherever you are behind held. Therefore, if he is not in Washington, DC, he can file habeas in a different court – himself Pro Se. I would even help with the brief. That court would hold him, and he CANNOT be removed during a habeas – at least Constitutionally, but these people piss on the Constitution every single day. He would get away from the corrupt court in Washington and get another judge to review what is going on. They have violated the Speedy Trial Act, and the case should be dismissed on those grounds.

Sixth Amendment

If the evidence were overwhelming, they would have put Lang on trial ASAP to make their political statement. What the prosecutors are doing is outrageous, and this case demonstrates there is a serious problem here, and the ONLY way this takes place is with a CORRUPT Judge and a CORRUPT court-appointed lawyer working with a CORRUPT Prosecutor. The Speedy Trial Act, as applied, is UNCONSTITUTIONAL, for it has effectively nullified the Constitution. No rule or Act can supersede the Constitution, for it is the supreme rule of the land. You cannot WAIVE a Constitutional right, for it is a RESTAINT on government – not a positive right of the citizen. You cannot waive anything, for that is a constructive amendment of the Constitution, which can ONLY be amended by a Constitutional Convention.

Speaker Mike Johnson Believes “History Will Judge Well” Extending Warrantless Searches and Giving Ukraine Unlimited Funds


Posted originally on the CTH on April 21, 2024 | Sundance 

I’ve said this so frequently it almost becomes obscene to keep repeating it.  Many of the most professional political class in Washington DC just flat out believe the echo-chambering bubble created by the intelligence apparatus inside the beltway. The Republican political leadership, in this case Speaker Mike Johnson, genuinely believes they are doing what the American people want them to do.

I can say this with certitude, because I have looked at their eyes when challenging their assumptions and mindset, and I can tell they truly do not think they are lying.  They are so detached from comprehending anything adverse to their worldview, they genuinely believe what they are saying is factually accurate and true.  It’s not; all of it is total nonsense, but the pressure from the intelligence apparatus is so strong and encompassing, these politicians cannot fathom it’s wrong.

To be sure, there are some like Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, John Cornnyn, John Thune etc. the UniParty leadership, that know the IC narrative is completely false; they know what they are doing is corrupt and wrong, but they dare not challenge the administrative state apparatus that controls them. However, in the case of Johnson and others like Scalise, he really doesn’t know. He’s a believer in this fraud.  WATCH (1 minute):

https://youtube.com/watch?v=NH-_nuNGzjI%3Ffeature%3Doembed

The 30 Republican Senators who voted to authorize FISA surveillance and simultaneously authorize funding an insufferable and unwinnable conflict in Ukraine are:

John Barrasso of Wyoming, John Boozman of Arkansas, Katie Britt of Alabama, Ted Budd of North Carolina, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, John Cornyn of Texas, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Mike Crapo of Idaho, Joni Ernst of Iowa, Deb Fischer of Nebraska, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Chuck Grassley of Iowa, Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi, John Kennedy of Louisiana, James Lankford of Oklahoma, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Jerry Moran of Kansas, Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Pete Ricketts of Nebraska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Mike Rounds of South Dakota, Marco Rubio of Florida, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, John Thune of South Dakota, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Roger Wicker of Mississippi and Todd Young of Indiana.

The ROLL CALL VOTE IS HERE.  Please remember these names.

These are the same Senators who said nothing while the weaponized system of government organized a corrupt intelligence operation against candidate Donald Trump in 2016.  These are the same Senators who are looking for any reason to support the removal of Donald Trump from the GOP ticket.  These are the same Republican senators who refuse to contemplate representative government.   They live in a bubble of deceit, and they despise the American electorate.

This is the same GOPe crew who: hated the Tea Party, supported the IRS targeting of conservative groups, supported the IC targeting of candidate Trump, supported the Senate Intelligence Committee participating with the IC to attack Trump, and who oppose any effort to diminish the power of the upper chamber from U.S. politics.

There is no way to talk these Republican senators into different approaches or convince them to stop participating in the weaponization of government.  These Republicans support government first; the American electorate are much lower in their eyes.  They have convinced themselves they are righteous in all aspects.

There is no volume of unquestionable evidence you can put in front of them that will change their opinion or change their behavior.  Talking to them about the flaws in their mindset is akin to discussing the risks of the COVID-19 vaccine with a person in line to get their 5th booster shot.  It’s a really difficult reality to accept, but this is just the way it is.

They do not answer emails; they refuse to take phone calls; they ignore constituents on issues of the Deep State; their sense of individual identity is dependent on retention of a collective premise that is fundamentally fraudulent.

I’m not sure what can be done, other than replacing them, and their very existence is a case study in why the bankers of 1913 constructed the 17th amendment.

I am asked all the time what can be done to correct this messed up system of government that has become the USA.  My only answer continues to be, “repeal the 17th amendment.”   There is not a singular issue that would so comprehensively deconstruct every single aspect of government corruption as would happen with a one paragraph repeal of the 17th amendment.
