Murdoch Again – Sean Hannity Will Host Debate Between Ron DeSantis and Gavin Newsom on November 30th in… Wait for It…. Georgia lol


Posted originally on the CTH on September 25, 2023 | Sundance 

This is so transparently silly and yet simultaneously obvious in motive.

Both Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis are the approved corporate candidates for 2024.  CTH pointed out this effort a year ago, and all of the datapoints since then have perfectly aligned to the simple truth of the thing.  Either DeSantis or Newsom is acceptable to the Sea Island crew, and guess where the debate will take place. Yep, Georgia. lol

The intelligence glow-worm known as Sean Hannity, who will have to quickly learn the shut-up skills needed to be a debate moderator, is the chosen performance artist for the nonsense.   Hannity will likely take the multinational duo on a tour through the questions of policy that he would provide as solutions, and then ask each participant to give their opinion of Hannity’s, “I used to be a dishwasher and I know things” proposals.

FOX News Channel’s Sean Hannity will moderate a red vs. blue state debate between Florida Gov. and Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis and Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom, FOX News Media announced Monday. 

The 90-minute event will air at 9 p.m. ET on Nov. 30 in Georgia, marking the first time the two prominent governors will face off in a debate.

“I’m looking forward to providing viewers with an informative debate about the everyday issues and governing philosophies that impact the lives of every American,” Hannity said. (more)

This entire nonsense is so predictable; here’s my original graphic from 2022.  lol 

The RNC had a rule that no alternative candidate debates would be permitted. lol Watch how fast that rule gets dropped.

The bloom is off the ruse.

Threats Continue Against Rumble Video Platform – The Background Players Seem Interestingly Connected


Posted originally on the CTH on September 25, 2023 | Sundance 

The British tabloid, The Sun, comes out with another story against the Rumble video platform today, receiving considerable condemnation for the threats and implications that appear to be coordinated by the Murdoch network.

The original sketchy hit against Russell Brand came from the Murdoch owned publication The Sunday Times.

The British Parliament then weighed in, demanding that Rumble deplatform, censor or demonetize Mr. Brand.

The Sun tabloid is now claiming that Rumble will be “regulated by UK media watchdog Ofcom under the new Online Safety Bill, which was approved by Parliament last week and is due to become law next month.”  Additionally, they claim, “failing to co-operate with Ofcom could put Rumble executives at risk of arrest if visiting Britain, it has been suggested.”

That latter claim is pure fear-porn, driven by interests who want to control the overall internet content of information on behalf of the Public-Private partnership, technically government.

However, look closely at the alignment of interests pushing this anti-Rumble narrative, and you will note something very interesting.

The Associated Press is pushing a story today that Rumble’s relationship with the Fox News Business GOP debate implicates the Republican Party with, “far-right extremism, bigotry, election disinformation and conspiracy theories.”  The Fox Business News network is owned by Rupert Murdoch.  Noticing anything yet?

Stay with me, this is going to get interesting…..

[AP] – […]  By bringing viewers to Rumble to watch the second GOP debate, as it did with the first one last month, the Republican National Committee is driving potential voters to a site crawling with content that flouts the rules of more mainstream platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

Earlier this year, RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said using Rumble instead of YouTube as its livestreaming partner was a decision aimed at “getting away from Big Tech.”

Asked about the criticism of the platform, the RNC said in an email that “hate, bigotry and violence is unfortunately prevalent on every social media platform, and the RNC condemns it entirely, but the RNC does not manage content or pages outside of our own.”

Rumble, founded in 2013, prides itself on being “immune to cancel culture.” Its website says “everyone benefits when we have access to more ideas, diverse opinions, and dialogue.”

That approach has catapulted the site to popularity in recent years as many conservatives have sought alternative social media companies that won’t remove their posts or suspend their accounts for false or inflammatory content. The company, which went public in 2022, has been backed by conservative donors such as venture capitalist Peter Thiel and Republican Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio. (read more

The Rumble platform is growing, as more content providers find that Rumble will stand beside them firmly against censorship and efforts to silence their voice.  Content providers are flocking to Rumble as a free and safe alternative to YouTube.  That has put Rumble in the position of being a threat to those who want control over information.

There is obviously an organized effort underway to target Rumble as we head into the 2024 election, and none of these suddenly appearing efforts are a coincidence.

Here’s my working theory.

Elon Musk needs money. The finance side of the “X platform”, or what was previously called Twitter, is very fragile – with $1.5 billion in annual debt service ($12.5bn loan), and roughly another $750+ million in operating expenses (Amazon cloud $200m, Google cloud $200m, payroll $350m est).  After Musk stripped it down, Twitter still costs around $2.25bn per year.  Current revenue is around $1bn from advertising and a few million from subscribers.  Musk has been looking for answers, and that’s why he hired Linda Yaccarino.

Billionaire Club – There is an alignment of interests here.  Musk wants eyeballs so he can give Yaccarino tools to sell the platform to potential advertising corporations.  Tucker Carlson is an eyeball resource for Musk.  However, I suspect Rupert Murdoch is the silent financial bridge that Elon needed.  That explains why Ron DeSantis was launched on Twitter.

Recently Rupert Murdoch stated he was stepping down from the board of Fox.  This would clear the runway of leftist controversy in supporting Twitter. At the same time, Murdoch’s media empire is launching attacks against Rumble and has a connection to all of the anti-Rumble narratives swirling.  [ Imagine if Tucker Carlson found out Musk and Murdoch were aligned.]

According to insider sources, not directly connected to Rumble, Peter Thiel is dumping Rumble stock and may be using that money to invest in a rumored Tucker Carlson media platform.  The one thing they (Peter, Elon, Rupert) would not want is for Tucker to switch his transitional broadcast away from Twitter.

I suspect that behind this obvious Murdoch targeting of Rumble, there’s something like this that connects this all to the Murdoch effort to manipulate political outcomes.  This guy is notorious for trying to manipulate U.S. politics, and the next story that follows is a clear example…..

Last points.

We need to support Rumble.

When an ally in the fight against those attempting to control information comes under attack, we need to support them.  Here’s three ways:

♦ Download the app.

♦ Invest in Rumble stock.

♦ Become a registered user on the platform.

Sea Island Cries Uncle? – GA Governor Brian Kemp Says He Will Support Donald Trump if GOP Nominee


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

I don’t trust this crew as far as I can spit; however, this has the potential to be an inflection point.  But we need to watch carefully.

In an interview with the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp says he will support Donald Trump if he is the victorious nominee from the GOP primary contest.   Suspicious cat remains, well, suspicious.

“Despite all of that, despite all of his other trials and tribulations, [Trump] would still be a lot better than Biden. And the people serving in the administration would be a lot better than Joe Biden. And it has nothing to do with being a coward. It has everything to do with winning and reversing the ridiculous, obscene positions of Joe Biden and this administration that literally, in a lot of ways, are destroying our country.” (read more

Joe Sends Gavin to the RNC Debate at The Reagan Library


Posted originally on the CTH on September 23, 2023 | Sundance 

Most people say the DNC 2024 candidate will be determined by a DNC primary process.  My response:

Pish-Paw! You think the party that kills babies, sterilizes young boys and cuts the tits off young women are going to restrain themselves to cultural, political or electoral norms in 2024? GTFOH. The DNC nominee will be decided by a vote of delegates at the convention in Chicago.

My gut instinct tells me Joe Biden will deliver a magnanimous speech written for him saying he is not able to accept the nomination, perhaps with a medical narrative attached, and therefore the baton must be handed to a new generation of progressive leadership.

This approach resets the entire narrative and deflated dynamic within the DNC electorate.  Immediately an infusion of energy will be created to propel the appointed baton owner into the stratosphere with intense media promotion.  Thrills up legs will be had, and the real 2024 race will begin. Prepare your affairs accordingly.

WASHINGTON – President Biden’s reelection campaign is sending California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) to the Republican presidential primary debate to lead response efforts.

Newsom will be on the ground in Simi Valley, in his home state, to push back on Republican comments and highlight anything the Biden team deems to be extreme rhetoric out of the debate. The governor will lead that effort alongside Biden-Harris campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez and Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison.

“The campaign response builds off the strong and effective plan from the first debate with a clear north star: push back on Republicans’ lies and highlight their extremism at every turn. Our response will ensure we hold every Republican and their extreme positions accountable,” Biden campaign advisers said.

The Wednesday debate will be hosted by Fox Business Network and is expected to have a large focus on the Republicans’ economic strategy. Former President Trump is not expected to join the debate, after not attending the first one in August, but the Biden campaign expects the so-called MAGA agenda to be on display.

“You can expect the Biden campaign and our allies to point out the stark contrast between Bidenomics and the extreme MAGAnomics policies we’ll hear on the debate stage,” advisers said. (read more)

Pentagon Study Finds Old Threat


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Sep 20, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

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.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy Uses Castellanos Move w/ Trump to Avoid Budget Criticism


Posted originally on the CTH on September 18, 2023 | Sundance | 202 Comments

Speaker Kevin McCarthy was full of effusive praise for President Trump yesterday as he took questions about the controversial budget deal still being developed in the House.

Appearing with Fox News Maria Bartiromo, McCarthy randomly brought up President Trump’s strong position against Joe Biden and then contrasted the ability of Trump against the ever-diminishing Ron DeSantis.   However, look carefully at what McCarthy is doing in this soundbite; this guy is the consummate weasel politician.

By cuddling up close to President Trump, it’s obvious McCarthy is seeking to deflect criticism for his UniParty willingness.  WATCH (Prompted):

Rule of Law & Prosecutors Are ALWAYS Above the Law


Armstrong Economics Blog/Rule of Law

Posted Sep 15, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Spread the love

Anyone who thinks prosecutors are to be trusted is out of your mind. I have NEVER met one that had an ounce of honesty or ethics. It is extremely rare for any court actually to go after a prosecutor. Perhaps one in a billion. They are on the same team to uphold their 99% conviction rate. Back in 2017, a prosecutor was caught red-handed listening to conversations of a defendant and their lawyer. They do that all the time. Even the New York Times published “Rampant Prosecutorial Misconduct” which was a shock that they acknowledged anything.

In a mafia case, the defendant asked for his phone call recordings in prison. They sent him those of the rat who would testify against him. There, he was on the phone with the prosecutor who was asking him to testify against someone else. He told the prosecutor he didn’t know that guy. The prosecutor said no problem; after he preps him, he will know him like his brother. He then submitted the tapes to Judge Kaplan in New York, demanding an investigation. Kaplan said that was a violation for a different case and refused to allow the tapes to be heard by the jury.

There was a 23-year-old kid charged with a conspiracy for a drug murder, and his crime was someone asked where some guy was, and he pointed over there. He wanted to go to trial, and the prosecutor moved for the death penalty because they never got on in NYC. This list goes on and on.

Prosecutors abuse the system to win unjust convictions ALL THE TIME. There is the case of JOSEPH SALVATIwhere the Boston jury awarded $102 million because the prosecutors KNEW they were convicting the wrong person. Anyone working for the government who does this sort of thing should be imprisoned. After all, they violate the civil rights of an individual and remain immune from criminal prosecution.

There is the case of Jack McCullough sentenced to life in prison in 1957, who was finally released in 2016. One Judge, U.S. District Judge Leigh Martin May, ruled that the SEC courts established by Roosevelt were unconstitutional. The government just ignored the ruling.

Wilson Edwin Paul

Then there was Edwin Paul Wilson (1928 – 2012), a former CIA and U.S. Naval Intelligence officer who was convicted in 1983 of illegally selling weapons to Libya. When one agency caught him, the CIA denied he worked for them. He was tried and convicted. His daughter fought to get documents to prove he worked for the government, which they denied. What they did to Wilson should give anyone pause as to why they would work for the government.

You can tell Wilson was innocent because they kept him in solitary confinement – the ultimate torture. They did that to prevent him from having free communications outside the prison.

It was later proven that the United States Department of Justice and the CIA had covered up evidence in the case. Wilson’s convictions were overturned in 2003, and he was freed the following year.

Wilson filed a civil suit against seven former federal prosecutors, two of whom are now federal judges and a past executive director of the CIA. On March 29th, 2007, U.S. District Judge Lee Rosenthal dismissed his case on the grounds that all eight had immunity covering their actions.

Nobody will hold prosecutors accountable, and most judges are former prosecutors, so good luck with pleading your case. There is not a vein of morality in most of these people. Even an honest judge is just overruled by the corrupt courts of appeal. When you stare into the eyes of a prosecutor or most judges, all you see is the coldness of evil stripped of all human emotion. They lose all humanity in order to do the job.

The Supreme Court has unleashed the total destruction of the Constitution upon all of us, and there is a growing call to acknowledge and address an epidemic of prosecutorial misconduct in the United States, but nobody will listen. The case was Imbler v. Pachtman, and its perverse holding is uncivilized in any democratic state, for it is the decision of a totalitarian regime.

History repeats because those in power will always act in their own self-interest. Nothing has changed since Thrasymachus warned Socrates, whom they sentenced to death, and Palto fled Athens, saying he would not allow a second crime against Philosophy.

There can be no justice when prosecutors are beyond responsibility for their deliberate actions. That is because ONLY the government can bring a criminal action, and they will NEVER prosecute their own. They would take the stand and state they were told to deny the Constitution and that they were only following orders.
