As we will do with each primary contest, this is the dedicated thread to the results from the primary caucus in the state of Iowa today.
Forty delegates are up for grabs. Delegates are distributed ¹proportionately. Caucusing begins at 8:00pm ET. We can expect results from the first-reporting precinct caucuses around 8:45pm Eastern Time tonight.
There is no Democrat primary caucus in Iowa this year as the DNC changed the primary contest. A few people, me included, have long suspected the DNC primary change was not necessarily about the DNC, but rather a change to provide space for Iowa and New Hampshire Democrat activists to influence the first two republican primaries as a block Trump strategy. We await the data to see what happens.
¹Delegates are proportionally allocated to Presidential contenders based on the statewide vote. Each candidate receives (candidate’s statewide vote) × 40 ÷ (total statewide vote) delegates. Round fractions to the nearest whole number. If there are too few delegates allocated, the candidate nearest the rounding threshold receives the additional delegate. If too many delegates are allocated, the candidate furthest the threshold loses a delegate.

In this video [see below], presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is essentially describing the “splitter strategy” CTH has discussed and outlined in granular detail for years. Essentially, a process where the billionaire donors, hedge fund managers, corporations and multinationals – what we define as the Sea Island group (SIG), control the private corporation known as the RNC.
On this facet of his commentary, Ramaswamy is correct. However, from there he gets things wrong.
Yes, as we have said, the Chris Christie exit is part of the continuum. Remember, within mutually aligned motives the candidate doesn’t need specifically to be an active participant; they only need to be looking out for their individual interests, usually financial.
When the ‘time to exit’ tap on the shoulder is received, it comes via a key backer saying, “there’s no longer a path.” The money stops, and the candidate suspends their campaign. That’s how the process works.
Did Christie get that tap on the shoulder, at the specific time needed to retain the “never Trump” effort, thereby creating further support for Nikki Haley? Yes, absolutely – again, that’s how it works.
The SIG moved all their poker chips to Nikki after they realized the weird behavior of DeSantis meant he was no longer a viable option. When Brian Kemp began creating distance with DeSantis, that’s when the shift to Haley began.
Immediately preceding the shift to Nikki Haley, and specifically because DeSantis was not gaining traction, the evangelical brothers Mike Pence and Asa Hutchinson also received their tap on the shoulder and withdrew from their Iowa effort.
Within the plan of the SIG, Pence/Hutchinson were only camped in Iowa to pull a coalition of evangelicals together to hand them to DeSantis. But that part of the effort never gained traction. As a consequence, the SIG shifted to New Hampshire, where their allied Democrats could assist.
Ramaswamy is correct in the statement that the billionaire donors within the SIG want a head-to-head between President Trump and Nikki Haley, but only because that’s all that remains of the collapsing roadmap. Where Ramaswamy is wrong is that when Haley loses, the SIG/Never Trump group will shift to supporting Biden (Newsom). That’s the UniParty. Ultimately, in the big picture, the foundational effort is not about supporting DeSantis or Haley, it’s about stopping Trump.
The hubris of Vivek Ramaswamy in this video then makes everything else he says ridiculous, and also explains why he cannot gain traction.
Who is Ramaswamy to say, “our America-First movement“? As if this is something he created. :::spit::: Right there, in that statement, is where we notice who Ramaswamy is. He is trying to co-opt the MAGA Trump movement for his own motives and intents.
There is only one person who holds the allegiance of the American working class and the America First movement. That person is President Donald Trump. President Trump alone will decide later who will take that pragmatic economic-based MAGA movement forward – after his four-year term. This is not that time.
At CTH we accept things as they are, not as we would pretend them to be.
If Vivek Ramaswamy was authentic to his words, if he really wanted to advance the America First movement, he would accept the futility of his position and endorse Donald J. Trump. His unwillingness to do that says more about him, about his [¹]’glowing‘ motives and intents, than anything he might say about Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis.
WATCH 01:33 minutes:
.
[¹] I have stayed generally neutral on Ramaswamy for a reason. However, he is now sending the exact signals I would expect to see if an intelligence community operator was nearing the end of his usefulness. It’s called ‘Linguistic Programming‘. ie “they will never allow,” etc.

There are several layers around this story that are interesting and funny.
The obvious story is how Chris Christie is talking to Wayne MacDonald, a former chair of the New Hampshire Republican Party, and discussing the futility of Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis. The lesser obvious story speaks to the reason for the entire RAT team’s effort; they each had/have a role to play on behalf of their corporate benefactors.
“She’s gonna get smoked,” the former New Jersey governor said of Nikki Haley. “And you and I both know it. She’s not up to this,” Christie continued. Chris Christie also claimed Ron DeSantis called him about Iowa while “petrififed” at the prospect of coming in third. LISTEN:

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (U-DC) is quitting on cue having played his part. Christie ended his 2024 bid for the White House moments ago. It’s clear to me tonight that there isn’t a path for me to win the nomination,” Christie told the audience at a town hall in Windham, N.H.
Via Fox-2) – […] The former New Jersey governor’s decision will be mainly viewed as a boon for Haley, who has seen particular momentum in New Hampshire, where Christie was also putting a lot of his campaign’s energy.

Historically, the mindset from the very beginning of the United Nations has been this theory that a one-world government will end all wars. This has even been expressed directly by Julian Huxley, one of the founders. In fact, I had deep conversations with Maggie Thatcher about this and how the EU was proceeding with the very same theory. She understood that the Euro was not about currency and trade; it was about usurping power to dominate over Europe with centralized control. They have long held a bias toward allowing the people to actually have any vote in government. That’s why we vote only for a “representative,” and we are never allowed to vote on taxes or war. We certainly have no right to vote for this next covert tyranny under the World Health Organization.
Here is a video of former French President Hollande and German Chancellor Merkel explaining that the very purpose of the EU was to create a single government to prevent European war – not a single currency. This is the very same theory being rolled out by the UN, using climate change as the excuse to become the overruling power because no single country can solve the problem. It will take a global effort. Realizing that this is a difficult objective, they are now using their World Health Organization to scare the hell out of people, and they will dictate to all countries that will justify locking people down when, in fact, this is all about their deep concern about rising civil unrest in the fact of a sovereign debt crisis when they can no longer sell new debt to pay off the old.
California State Teachers’ Retirement System (CSTRS) is the second-largest pension fund in the USA. They are in trouble with the same problem that took down banks that invested long-term before interest rates rose. CSTRS wants to borrow more than $30 billion to help it maintain “liquidity” without having to sell assets off its long-term bond at a 30-40% loss. According to a new policy, CSTRS’ investment committee also invested in green because that was fashionable. While they say go WOKE = BROKE, the same is applied to going GREEN.
If approved, the policy will allow CSTRS to borrow as much as 10% of the roughly $318 billion portfolio to be able to meet withdrawals. Naturally, this proposal also calls for leverage to be used “on a temporary basis to fulfill cash flow needs in circumstances when it is disadvantageous to sell assets.” This is just the tip of the iceberg.
The goal here is to use the World Health Organization to provide the mechanism to justify quarantine camps as New York State was authorized, and this final draft to the World Health Assembly is to come in May 2024 in conjunction with the turn in our Economic Confidence Model. As I have pointed out, whatever takes place on the precise day has tended to be the most important focus. Here, in addition to this WHO tyranny, it is the precise day that whoever is elected as the President of Russia will be sworn in precisely on the day of the ECM.
When it comes to this WHO proposal for a world dictatorship under the pretense of caring about our health when the stats show that sudden death may reach 17 million people worldwide who were vaccinated with this gene therapy rather than a traditional vaccine, ironically, our greatest hope is Putin and the former Eastern Communist states in rejecting WHO for these people know tyranny first hand. Friends I have from Eastern Europe who moved to the USA all say the same thing – this is what they fled.
It is hard to say what the significance of this turn is. I certainly hope Putin survives, for if one of the hardliners gets the Presidency on any excuse of sudden health issues or whatever, then we will fact their Neocons against our Neocons, and we will be caught in the middle. On the other hand, those in Eastern Europe and Russia are showing resistance to the surrender of sovereignty to the WHO. Now, they call this surrender of sovereignty fake news. It will NOT function that whoever is there in the White House is compelled to carry out the orders of the WHO. There is no enforcement power, so it is not a surrender of sovereignty on some unwilling basis. The Biden Administration will sign because it will provide them the excuse to create quarantine camps and restrict travel.
The first march upon Washington emerged following the Panic of 1893, known as Coxley’s Army. This was a group of unemployed men who marched during the depression year of 1894. Jacob S. Coxley (1854-1951) was a businessman in Ohio whose idea was that the government should provide employment through creating Public Works. His ideas were eventually incorporated into Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal and became the WPA in 1935.
Coxley set out for Washington on March 25th, 1894, with about 100 men and arrived there on May 1st with about 500 who had joined. Coxley’s First Amendment rights were, of course, violated for they arrested him for walking on the grass, pretending it had nothing to do with his march. This is what they do. They are doing this to Trump right now, charging him with an assortment of things that are all intended to suppress his right to run for president and to deprive us of our right to vote.
This is how the government will use the WHO recommendations claiming you have violated health issues to imprison you and strip you of your First Amendment right to free speech and assembly. If Trump were President, he would not be compelled to follow the WHO even if Biden signs the Treaty. This is why they are trying to get this through come May 2024 just in case Trump becomes president next January.

Thank you to JustJefferson14 for sharing the piece I wrote on New York’s tyrannical new legislation. This is NOT being reported by the mainstream media and we appreciate those who are enlightening the public by unveiling the truth. Click here to read the full article.
QUESTION: You said neither side will accept this 2024 election, and civil unrest will come in 2025. Will that be even if Trump wins?
GK
ANSWER: Here is the riot, which they were calling a revolution (insurrection), and this was the LEFT all dressed in black torching Washington DC because Trump won. They were attacking people, and stores, looting, and setting the city on fire. You do not see them in prison for “obstructing an official proceeding” the inauguration of Trump or staging a Revolution. This is what you will see either way. This is just getting started.

I have spent way too much time the past few days on phone conversations concerning the geopolitical Ukrainian mess from different sides and what our computer is showing. There is a growing concern in Washington that this war in Ukraine has run its course. This seems to have risen since Biden threatened if he did not get the money for Ukraine, US troops would have to go there and fight – totally insane. This seems to be backfiring. Biden just reads the cards handed to him by the Neocons or Climate Change nuts.
What seems to be emerging is there are some US policymakers who are starting to connect the dots and have looked at this Minsk Agreement and concluded, off the record, that the only reality of peace is to start with a ceasefire that blends into a peace deal that divides Ukraine allowing Putin to keep the part he has occupied being the Donbas and that includes Crimea.
Putin has been making peace proposals all along. The Western Neocons have refused to negotiate. NATOpreviously killed any peace deal for Ukraine. Then Boris Johnson traveled to Ukraine to instruct Zelensky that he was NOT allowed to seek peace with Russia. The West has wanted to conquer Russia for centuries. All Ukraine had to do was honor the Minsk Agreement, and the war would have been over in 24 hours.
Zelensky is seeking to draft another 500,000 more people to die for the Neocons – ASAP. I did not want to publish the real death toll, for when I first reported that 100,000 were killed, I got a ton of hate mail claiming I was spreading Russian Propaganda. Ursula von der Leyen, the head of the EU, had released a video and then edited it, deleting that very information I had reported at the request of Zelensky, who was trying to hide the fact that he had already lost 20% of his army by the end of 2022 in the first few months. Zelensky was pretending Ukraine was winning to keep the money flowing.
The Ukrainians are notorious for false flags. In Italy, Zelensky lied, claiming Russians were capturing children and torturing them. That allegation vanished. Zelensky has said whatever he can to get money and rejects any accountability. The US Pentagon has come out and even said that they CAN NOT independently verify what took place in Bucha. There is no way to verify anything in Bucha, which Ursula von der Leyen just repeated Zelensky’s propaganda while censoring the true story about the death toll. There are even videos of Bucha that show people lying in the street pretending to be dead with no blood, and then there are videos showing they get up when the camera passes.
The real number of deaths from UKRAINIAN sources is 1.1 million, I am told, and AGAIN, this comes from Ukraine – not Russia! In fact, a local TV news operation reported the real number, and Zelensky again made them take it down as he did with the head of the EU. They suddenly reported it was a typo. The Neocons are completely destroying Ukraine, and they have ZERO regard for Ukrainian lives as they will with Americans or Europeans.
Putin’s popularity is for real 80%+, and that is entirely understandable that this hatred hurled at Putin is really toward ALL Russians. The West has two choices because there is absolutely NOPOSSIBLE WAY for Ukraine actually to defeat Russia. They have 3.5 million men without drafting. The critics of Putin feel he is too “SOFT” and he should have invaded Ukraine like the US did to Iraq, and the war would have been over in 6 weeks.
Initially, Putin sent a column of tanks to approach Kiev. They were a show of force but just parked there. Putin’s critics argue they should have advanced and taken Kiev then and there. Putin saw it as a special operation to only protect the Donbas. He did not want to conquer Ukraine. He was telling the Ukrainians that they were brothers and they should not fight and end this civil war.
Here is the problem. Putin stands for election in March. Either the West agrees to a peace deal for his re-election, or Putin may be forced to deal a death blow to Ukraine. That would not go over well for many, and it would call into question NATO as a viable military entity when they have trained the Ukrainian troops that have been decimated. The question is, will the sound rational thinkers prevail, or will the Neocons prevail with the no-compromise agenda? With Putin standing for election, his hand may be forced to bring this to an end and proclaim victory.
Most of the articles that keep claiming Russia is losing are sources with the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), which is Victoria Nuland’s sister-in-law. That is the most untrustworthy source you will ever have in a war, which is always their objective – destroy Russia and China. It was Victoria Nuland’s husband, Robert Kagan, who wrote the Washington Post piece calling Trump a dictator because his wife has been in every administration EXCEPT Trump’s. The Neocons have thrown everything they could think of at Trump to desperately discredit him. This 2024 election is really a choice between War and Peace. There are some who realize in DC that they cannot send troops to fight Russia, for that will be playing into the arguments of Trump.
The ECM Half Cycle Dates from the start of the Cold War in 1947 brings us to October 15th, 2024. It was on February 17 when the Cold War Voice of America began broadcasting to Eastern Europe, and it was May 22nd when President Harry S. Truman signed an Act of Congress that implemented the Truman Doctrine. This Act granted $400 million in military and economic aid to Turkey and Greece. This was the official start of the Cold War to prevent the spread of Communism.
1947.389 1973.189 1998.989 2024.789 (Oct 15)
The Russian presidential election will be held on March 15–17, 2024. We have had a Panic Cycle this week, which seemed to melt down my phone on this topic. The volatility will rise, and it really looks like a serious decision must be made to save Ukraine by allowing a peace deal or sending every Ukrainian to their death. I am concerned that may be a tall order given the Neocons foaming at the mouth to launch World War III. Clearly, things will become highly volatile as we head toward March and Putin’s election. Everyone seems to be calling, wanting to know: What does the computer say now?
Communism failed all by itself. The Neocons were disappointed because they did not get to shoot anybody. The average citizen in America, Europe, Russia, and China wants to live life and enjoy their families. It seems to be the politicians who play with us like pieces on a chess board. We are always the Pawns of Finance and War. The very best a soldier can hope for is to return home intact to a family that is not dead. When Goring was asked how did the Nazis get the people to follow them, his response was on point and truthful.

The Neocons are playing with the lives of people desperate to create World War III and to entice Putin to PLEASE attack anyone in NATO. In 1915, Germany took out advertisements in the New York newspapers warning people not to travel on the passenger ship the RMS Lusitania for it was illegally using civilians as cover to provide arms to Britain. Of course, the US denied that they were using civilians just as Hamas in Palestine. The death toll was 1201 civilians died to get the USA to enter World War I.
The Germans took the bait and sank the RMS Lusitania, and the USA used that as the excuse to finally enter World War I, which was their objective all along. Even 20 years later, the US continued to deny there were any arms on the Lusitania. However, with modern technology, divers could finally reach the Lusitania. Only in 1982, 67 years later, were divers warned that there were explosives on the Lusitania.
Finally, Archaeology.org recovered ammunition from the Lusitania, proving once and for all that the Germans were correct. What is incredibly critical to understand here is that the Lusitania was used as bait to get the Germans to sink the ship to justify entering the war.
This is one of the oldest tricks in the book. The West instructed the interim Ukraine government in 2014, which they hand-picked, to start the civil war and attack the Donbas. Merkel negotiated the Minsk Agreement in BAD FAITH only to buy time for Ukraine to build an army. When it comes to war, as I have said many times, the first casualty is always the truth.
British have provided the missiles used by Ukraine to sink the Russian ship; dozens of Russian servicemembers were declared missing or wounded after the 370-foot Ropucha-class Novocherkassk large landing ship was hit on December 26 in Crimea by Ukrainian cruise missiles. Moscow admitted damage to the ship, which carried a crew of up to 87 service members.
However, the missiles used by Ukraine were provided by the U.K. Ministry of Defense, but they also provided Kyiv with satellite surveillance and target guidance. This is becoming common knowledge, and they, too, are praying at the foot of their bed every night that Putin will yield to the demands that he extracts a price from the British for as they are screaming, this is not a war against Ukraine; this is against the USA, Britain, and NATO. Even the Russian political scientist Yuri Baranchik now calls for Putin to attack the British warship HMS Diamond. Barinchik wrote on Telegram:
“This is a blow from Britain/the United States and a desire to interrupt the positive background from the capture of Marinka, as well as the recent successes of the Russian Armed Forces at the front.”
Barinchik has characterized this British attack as a “training exercise” for a potential future strike on Russia’s naval components in the Northern Fleet. Thus, I have been warning that Putin is the MODERATE – not the evil demon that the Western propaganda machine keeps putting out. I have expressed my concern that the West will do whatever it can to overthrow Putin in hopes of replacing him with a hardliner to launch World War III. Beware of January/February 2024.
The desperate need to provoke Putin to attack anyone in NATO to justify World War III.
