Litmus Tests

“Dear Sundance, could you please write an article that explains the policies that differentiate a GOPe RINO Establishment SIG/Bushie from an America First MAGA Patriot? It would be most beneficial to have a “litmus test” that can be easily used to compare candidates.”

At first blush this might sound like a familiar question that many would disregard.  However, let me emphasize a key point often overlooked.  The more severely you stop pretending, the more you realize the value of “litmus test” questioning.  When you ask a certain type of question in front of an audience, things opinions can change very quickly.

Additionally, when you know the questions that hit the pretending triggers the hardest, then you know how to create the most uncomfortable situations for professional politicians and people in general who rely on their ability to obfuscate language.  Lastly, when you know the material well enough to speak of the non-pretending dynamic in a way that doesn’t allow a pretentious lying response, it scares the heck out of the Alinsky/Lawfare tribe.

Brutally honest questioning is very valuable.  That said, let me provide a few situational questions that will immediately reveal who you are talking to.

Litmus Question #1:  Please, can you tell me your opinion of Robert Mueller?

If the (Republican) respondent replies with any positive about the character, action, purpose and intent of Robert Mueller in the role of special counsel, you can immediately qualify the respondent as a participant in the fraud.  There is only one honest response about anything Mueller.  Everyone in DC knows Mueller was the coverup operation.  No one, not one single person, in Washington DC does not know Mueller’s intent.

Litmus Question #2:  Was the 2020 Election manipulated?

If the (Republican) respondent replies with a long-winded answer, implying that some form of electoral manipulation might have been possible, you can immediately qualify the person as a participant maintaining fraud.  Pretending out of fear or favor is still pretending.

That’s it.  Look them straight in the eye, stand your ground, tell them you can see exactly who they are – then stop talking.  The discomfort in the room will always lay heaviest upon the shoulders of the deceivers.  You will likely be able to hear a pin drop.  The Truth Has No Agenda.

Also, one larger part (with multiple aspects) of the political dynamic is very important to keep at the forefront of your mind.  In all the important ways that matter, you know more about the subject matter of corruption within politics than the politicians you might question about it.

You know more than any Republican member of Congress and/or their staff, research team or investigative group.  You know more about all of it in the large picture and the granular details than they do.  It does not matter what their position within the DC system or what committee they sit upon, you know more.

You, the person reading this, knows more about intelligence system corruption than any member of the intelligence community Gang of Eight that sits in charge of oversight.  YOU KNOW MORE, than any person in any DC silo, and that is by design.

What people do not understand about DC is that only the entities within the DC system are permitted to engage in accountability.  Meaning, in the world of Republicans, Congress (or any other institution) cannot accept information from outside their silo operations.

Put simply, if a Republican congressional staffer does not originate the raw material evidence that highlights a corrupt activity, then the evidence does not exist.  Only the people within the silo system are permitted to discover information that targets any other silo participant.  This action/sequence is by design.

The Republican participants in DC will tell you that process is in place to ensure that no goofball material or evidence comes into the system.  However, in reality the purpose of this rule is to block any negative information from permeating the silo system.   The silo construct protects the silo inhabitants, and no detrimental information or crowdsourcing of evidence is permitted by allowed to be used by Republicans.

The Democrats do not hold themselves to this standard, and again this is part of the design.

The Democrat Party system exists to assemble power.  The Republican wing of the system exists to assemble money.  Democrats want power. Republicans want money.  The policy of Democrats drives their donor activity.  The donor activity of Republicans drives their policy.

When Senator Chuck Schumer wants Republican votes to secure policy wins, he buys those votes from Mitch McConnell.  When Senator Mitch McConnell wants Democrat votes to secure policy on behalf of the corporations who fund his team, McConnell sells policy (amendments) to Chuck Schumer.

Re-read that prior paragraph to understand how Schumer in majority gains policy victories, and Schumer in minority gains policy victories.

Democrats want power (policy), Republicans want money.  This is the nature of two wings of the UniParty and the core reason why people are starting to see how legislative policy shifts left regardless of which party is in power.

In order to maintain the process of gaining affluence, the Republicans within the silo system have rules that block information from reaching them. This is best described as the technical process that creates a Republican system of intentional willful blindness.

The Republicans do not want to be holding specific evidence of corruption because they cannot sell that; ergo, it has no value.  This is why Republicans do not factually construct any oversight mechanisms.  (See: Fast and Furious, IRS targeting, Benghazi, Spygate, Govt weaponization, etc).

Instead, the leadership of the Republicans writes out a list of what topics are valid for conversation and what topics are not.  Republican members then stick to the guidelines of the topics and nothing more.

In this era of great pretending, make them uncomfortable by not participating.

Actually, Makes Sense – REPORT: Ron DeSantis Looking for TV/Media Gig


Posted originally on the CTH on June 8, 2024 | Sundance

As I shared last year, the operation behind Ron DeSantis is much deeper than most can fathom. Arguably and factually, we can trace the origin of the DeSantis ’24 objective all the way back to the end of 2017 just before the midterm 2018 races began.

Ron DeSantis left Congress to go after the Florida governor position in 2018. The political apparatus that supported his shift included the Bush clan GOP faction and his career long support system within the Club for Growth.

However, they struggled with the base support in the 2018 Florida primary and ironically needed an assist from the man the DeSantis.Gov operation was constructed to destroy, President Trump.

The people operating the plan were using DeSantis as the 2024 candidate to get the GOP back in the hands of the party establishment. It did not matter if Trump won or lost in 2020; DeSantis was removed in ’18 to preposition for ’24. Against that backdrop, the failure to launch in ’24 must have been exceptionally painful for the DeSantis team. So much effort went into it.

If you stand back and just think about it, from a practical and commonsense perspective, DeSantis seeking some other form of income to achieve Casey’s tiara (avoid divorce), while simultaneously feeding his ego, it becomes not difficult to understand the trajectory of this story.

(InTouchWeekly) – […] 45, still has nearly three years left as the Sunshine State’s top dog, but insiders say he’s salivating for more — and whispers in the corridors of power are that even though the petulant pol’s presidential dreams have been dashed, his hunger for the limelight hasn’t dimmed.

“Ron wouldn’t hesitate to jump ship for a big TV deal,” reveals a confidant. “He wanted to ditch the governorship to be the president. Sure, Hannity’s radio show isn’t the White House, and it’s not even part of FOX News — but it’s close enough to TV for Ron! (more)

The most common refrain from frustrated Ron DeSantis supporters has been, ‘why didn’t he just wait until 2028’? 

With the exception of a small group of political followers in the State of Florida, few people really understood what the DeSantis 2024 operation was all about.

Ron DeSantis ’24 began long before people were paying attention.  It started when the top echelon of the GOPe UniParty saw candidate Donald Trump win the November 2016 election.

In January 2017, when the DC stop Trump operation known as Trump-Russia took on a new direction, the Republican apparatus was just as much in opposition to the Trump presidency as the Democrat wing.

The Republican politician exodus from Congress in 2018 wasn’t accidental, nor was the weak effort of the GOPe to win congressional seats in that 2018 midterm election.

Given the elements of the ‘stop Trump’ effort, the House of Representatives was part of the overall ‘stop Trump’ design.   House Speaker Paul Ryan didn’t announce his retirement in ’18 ahead of the midterm accidentally; he made the announcement because he knew the Republican leadership’s plan.

Ron DeSantis left Congress, along with Paul Ryan, because Ron DeSantis was going to run for the Florida Governor seat as part of his career move.  The people around DeSantis who supported his political career (Ryan, Bush, approved Republican types), along with the Club4Growth (David McIntosh), helped guide DeSantis with the proactive planning.  The run for governor in ’18 was always done with the expectation and plan to run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024.

Here’s the key point.  DeSantis was always going to run for the Republican Party nomination in 2024.  There was never a consideration not to do so.  He ran for governor in 2018 specifically to set up the run for the Republican nomination in 2024.  That was always the plan.

If President Trump won the 2020 election, DeSantis was positioned to run in 2024.  If President Trump lost the 2020 election, DeSantis was positioned to run in 2024.  DeSantis was going to run in 2024; not running was not an option.  Start from that baseline and everything that took place during his tenure as Florida governor then starts to make a lot more sense.

The professionally Republican DeSantis operation always contained the need to co-opt the MAGA Trump movement.

Just like the Tea Party was infiltrated and diminished back to the control of the GOPe in 2012, so too was the plan to infiltrate MAGA and take control in 2024.  This is the reason why DeSantis ran in 2018 to mirror the Trump agenda.   Winning Florida via overt and very public support for President Trump was part of the design.

The policy agenda of Ron DeSantis was then structured to mirror the priority of the MAGA base.  This was pure strategic and political maneuvering, not a fundamental or ideological alignment in common belief with the priorities of the Trump voter.

Again, begin with the end in mind.  The end goal was always DeSantis ’24.

What Florida voters saw unfold in 2021/2022 (social policy nods to create bonafides) was precisely the DeSantis goal to create a MAGA image where the Florida governor would be the torchbearer for the MAGA standard.  However, quietly behind DeSantis was the originating establishment old guard.

In December of 2021, a full 17 months prior to the May 2023 official announcement, the invitation to the “conservative influencers” was dispatched.  Christina Pushaw was now part of the DeSantis ’24 operation, and she organized the January 6, 2022, meeting (pictured below) for that exact purpose.

This January 2022 preparation was why the people in the photograph were so sensitive about the “invitation” when questioned.

If ordinary voters, MAGA people, realized in early 2022 that Ron DeSantis was recruiting “influencers” for the campaign that was scheduled to begin a year later, it would be a risk.  The hidden agenda behind the operation would potentially be exposed.  The denials about this organization were extreme, and the ridicule over such a simple question was a “telling” indicator.

By the time the calendar took us to mid 2022, the visible datapoints all went in one direction.  The activity indicated DeSantis was going to run for the presidency in 2024, because, well, quite simply, Ron DeSantis was going to run for the presidency in 2024.  It was going to happen, and everything taking place was being done with this in mind.

The advanced scheduling was done with the 2024 campaign as the baseline.  The legislative effort was constructed with the need for policy accomplishments to support the 2023 announcement.  Everything, from the moment Ron DeSantis stepped into office as the Florida governor, was predicated on his prior agreement with the professional Republican apparatus to run for the GOP nomination in 2024.

This is why the Republican Governors Association gave DeSantis $20,000,000.00 in 2022.  The plan was for DeSantis to transfer the funds to his 2024 campaign, and the RGA was seeding the money in 2022 because they could not do it after he made the announcement in 2023.

It was being done by design, following the originating plan.  No one would question the $20 million, even though he didn’t need it, in a reelection year.  Also, the RGA could not be seen as putting a finger on the scale for the GOP nomination; so it needed to be done early by design.

The professionally Republican elements, including the DC leadership team, knew Ron DeSantis was going to run for the nomination in 2024.  This is the same DC leadership team that supports the removal of MAGA, just like that same leadership team supported the elimination of the Tea Party who were very effective at removing UniParty members through the primary process in 2010 and 2012.  Lessons were learned, now the playbook was being duplicated.

The DC leadership team also knew the DOJ team was going to raid Mar-a-Lago.  After all, the National Archives was working in the background with the DOJ to formulate the justification for the raid.  DC doesn’t keep secrets like this very well and the politically connected knew what was going to happen in advance.

This is the explanation for why the team around Ron DeSantis scheduled his time in the bunker (5 days) to coincide with the ‘shock-and-awe’ FBI raid.

The goal was to hunker down, watch the DOJ/FBI drop bombs on candidate Trump, then have Ron DeSantis emerge from the bunker in Mid-August 2022 with a national endorsement tour, soon to be followed by a soft national campaign kickoff under the guise of a “book tour.”

Hiding this advanced scheduling is why the DeSantis legislative team changed the state rules/laws for tracking the Florida Governor’s travel details.  They left nothing to chance.  The ruse needed to be maintained.  Sunlight, even in hindsight, was/is a real threat.

When you start looking with this specific retrospective in mind, then suddenly there is clarity surrounding the hubris exhibited by everyone in the DeSantis camp, including Casey DeSantis.

Ron left Congress in 2018 to advance his career and position himself for the 2024 GOP nomination.   Waiting and running in 2028 was never an option, because running in 2024 was always the original plan.  It wasn’t only a grossly inflated sense of self-importance that drove the decision, although that has always been a character trait of Ron DeSantis, the 2024 race was the original plan supported by every member of the pro-DeSantis team.

Once you realize the reality of Ron and Casey’s one-way ticket, then you start to recognize how cunning and deceitful they are.   It is not coincidental that cunning and deceptive are also the adjectives used to describe the DC Republican establishment.

Many people were fooled by this establishment Republican plan; but then again, many people were previously fooled by all the professional Republican mask wearers…. So don’t feel bad if you were tricked by the duplicity.

After all, it was not that long ago when Senator Jeff Sessions was the widely espoused “most conservative” member of the upper chamber….

  …How did that work out for us?

Senator Kennedy Asks Some Uncomfortable Questions to FBI Director Chris Wray


Posted originally on the CTH on June 8, 2024 | Sundance

From the outset, let me say in advance that I do not believe the current Director of the FBI has any clue what happens inside the modern FBI silo.  It’s not that Chris Wray is not contributing to the corruption, his willful blindness guarantees that he is; the bigger issue is more about what the purpose and intent of the organization is….  THAT IS WHERE you will find my attention piqued.

I do not believe the popular assumption that the FBI as an institution is part of a domestic law enforcement operation. Those days are over. I genuinely believe, like most modern criminal enterprises, specifically including drug cartel operations (not coincidentally), what we see about the FBI is the false front.  {GO DEEP} I suspect behind the facade and deep inside the FBI silo operation, is something else entirely.

The action of the FBI in several “sex case” instances, leads me to believe there is a strong operational element within their silo that directly links to Jeffrey Epstein.  Many of you may be aware that prior to the Epstein case getting massive publicity, he was in a long-time collaborative relationship with the FBI.   The FBI has admitted in court documents that Epstein was a source, and the relationship appears to have gone much deeper than just source level.  Techno Fog has deep dives on this aspect specifically {SEE HERE}.

Based on the conduct of the FBI, as an institution, I am increasingly convinced the DOJ/FBI (likely CIA, DoD and DoS) used Jeffrey Epstein as part of their intelligence gathering operation.  In essence, Epstein carried out the indecent activity that ensnared FBI targets; this is the collaboration.

Whether the IC target was determined prior to the operation, then instructions given to Epstein; or whether Epstein’s pre-existing files, recordings, and potential blackmail exploits were used as part of the IC target mission later on, after a target appeared on the IC radar, is unknown.  But using Epstein as part of what they would call National Security Operations would contextualize the term “collaboration,” and simultaneously explain every weird element which has never seemed possible to reconcile.

Against that context, watch this prompted line of questions.  WATCH:

.

Again, FBI Director Chris Wray doesn’t need to be a participating member of the FBI operational process in order to be FBI Director.  One of the more important aspects of understanding how the DC silos work, is to comprehend that they operate regardless of who is at the top of the silo.

Again, how do 40 career FBI agents work on the Trump-Russia collusion investigation, including the Weissmann/Mueller 2-year coverup operation, without a single FBI agent, member or employee saying the investigation is nonsense. If our historic reference point for the FBI operation is accurate, how was that even possible?  The short answer, that reconciles all of it, is to accept it was not possible.  Our prior reference point was fundamentally wrong.  {GO DEEP}

Jeffrey Epstein was not an FBI “informant.”  Jeffrey Epstein was an FBI “asset.”

Epstein carried out Intelligence Community operations.

.

The U.S. Dept of Justice and FBI are political institutions that have abandoned their originating mission in order to become the domestic equivalent of the Soviet-era FSB. Their joint targeting mechanisms have been redesigned to support the interests of Intelligence Community operations.  The IC radar sweeps off-shore and on-shore with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the DNI silo, maintaining the pivot point.

It was in June 2022, when Senator Chuck Grassley sent a letter [pdf HERE] to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Chris Wray, notifying them of whistleblower allegations from within the FBI that senior leadership in both Main Justice and FBI are involved in a coordinated effort to cover up criminal activity related to Hunter Biden.

The whistleblower allegations, in combination with the documented history of DOJ and FBI misconduct, culminate in Senator Grassley stating:

“If these allegations are true and accurate, the Justice Department and FBI are – and have been – institutionally corrupted to their very core to the point in which the United States Congress and the American people will have no confidence in the equal application of the law. Attorney General Garland and Director Wray, simply put, based on the allegations that I’ve received from numerous whistleblowers, you have systemic and existential problems within your agencies.” (LINK)

Grassley was clarifying what has been visible for years, if we just stop pretending.

And with clean record.
All the best!
Have a nice week-end!

REPLY: I have spent more than $50,000 on lawyers trying to get my overseas staff into the USA. It very frustrating. I intend to file a lawsuit against Homeland Security for DISCRIMINATION and violating civil rights. What you say is correct. They refuse to even issue a visa in Russia, I had a German staff member who boarded a plane and then was pulled off. A British staff member refused to give a visa and refused to explain why, using the standard nonsense that perhaps they would not leave. I told my staff to put on a T-shirt, I voted for Biden and just walked across the Mexican border.

I can tell you I have seen instructions to Homeland Security that if anyone from Ukraine wanted to come to the USA, they MUST have a COVID-19 vaccine. However, if a Ukrainian walked across the Mexican border, no vaccine is required.

This policy is exactly what I encountered trying to negotiate for Hong Kong with the Australian government. It was ONLY about who they would vote for. Australia blocked them because they would vote CONSERVATIVE when the LABOUR government was in power.

What Kind of American Are You

I am so sick and tired of this nonsense that people from Asia and Europe cannot come to the USA simply because they would vote Republican. The USA will break up. This is unsustainable. That film scene from the Movie Civil War was really on point – What kind of American are you?

We may have to start doing conferences in Dubai and Mexico. So much for the land of the free.

Biden to be Replaced come August

Biden Sigining Order 1

QUESTION: Has Biden finally caved in to close the border after he opened it up on his first day in office? This seems like admitting he made a mistake which has hurt so many people in this country.

UT

ANSWER: Yes, this is admitting it was a complete failure. The nut-job liberal base that wanted to flood the country with future Democrats is angered. Yet, Biden justifiably won’t get credit for his brand-new get-tough approach that comes way too late to mollify fed-up Americans when the country has been flooded with unskilled people he has given FREE healthcare to and logging at the expense of taxpayers who he wants to raise taxes on all the time.

Mr. Biden is using the same kind of tools that President Trump used to secure the border that the Democrats called him a racist over. On the first day of office, Biden opened the border to anyone from Asia, Africa, and South America. His policies have angered Mexico and other countries where people have been migrating to get their free handouts with Biden T-shirts. Five million illegal immigrants have poured into the country without background checks. Some countries emptied their prisons and sent them to Biden’s Land.

2024_06_07_12_43_01_Behind_Closed_Doors_Biden_Shows_Signs_of_Slipping_WSJ

Let me explain something. This is NOT my OPINION – it is my OBSERVATION after 40 years of experience with Washington. Biden will certainly be blamed for the Migrant Crisis. He is old and clearly failing. The REAL polls the mainstream media will NOT tell the public is he has fallen to even below 10%. No worries, they have Plan B and that is why they instructed him to now close the border so his replacement will NOT share the blame.

Hillary vs Trump Cartoon

I am telling you right now that Hillary is pitching that she is the ONLY one who can beat Trump. Yes, there is the Obama camp as well, but the Neocons favor Hillary, who would bomb Vanada to get a single Russia.

McCain Hillary

It was the leader of the Neocons, John McCain, who handed Hillary’s fake dossier she paid for to slander Trump that he was a puppet of Putin. Hillary is a Neocon and will take us to World War III. The Neocons fear Trump will win, and this is Plan B. But the Democrats need to be WOKE. They are actually pushing for Michele Obama to take VP – now that’s a really wild rumor.

The mere fact that you are starting to see press that Biden shows signs of “slipping” is setting the stage for the next act – replacing him by drafting Hillary at the convention. That is WHY they blocked anyone else from being on the primary ballot with Biden. This is a complete denial of democracy, for it has been staged to hand to Hillary for a rematch.

Central Bankers & Politicians – Its Time for a Change

Central Bankers BIS

COMMENT: It was great seeing you here in Europe. It was even more interesting to see how the central banks are starting to use the ECM rather than wait six to nine months before acting. Back in 2007, your model turned in February, but the Fed Funds Rate did not drop to 3% until one year later. I agree; you are impacting even though you cannot say who is or is not following your forecasts at that level.

Yesterday, the ECB lowered interest rates for the first time since 2019 during your target week of June 3. This represents a significant shift in the global economy’s monetary policy. With your Panic Cycle for the Fed meeting, it looks like they will follow suit.

Congrats. You are starting to get recognition for 50 years of work after the bankers tried to shut you up so they could constantly blow up the economy.

Paul

Gold Fluctuated

REPLY: Thank you. It was great to see you. With Keynesian Economics failing, rational men must look at other things. It is time we recognized that the Business Cycle incorporates everything from climate and weather to civil unrest and war. You CANNOT manipulate those things by raising and lowering interest rates to create perpetual prosperity, even under the Gold Standard, which failed because they could not prevent inflation when massive gold was discovered in the 19th Century in California, Alaska, and then Australia.

1715 FleetCobSet 2

Even when all the gold was pouring into Europe from the discovery in the New World, it wreaked havoc on the European Economy, causing major inflation. In the end, Spain became a serial defaulter and successfully, through fiscal mismanagement, converted itself from the richest nation in Europe to a third-world country. Sound familiar?

Schumpeter BusinessCycle Waves of Creative Destruction

Even Schumpeter attempted to explain the Business Cycle as waves of innovation. Someone invents something that takes the economy to new levels—steam engines, combustion engines, tractors, airplanes, and the Internet, to mention just a few. These aspects are not in the quiver of central banks to control. Paul Volcker conceded that the Business Cycle is about eight years. I had a long discussion about that with Paul back in 1999. His Rediscovery of the Business Cycle outlined how Keynesian Economics failed back in the 1970s. Even the previous Chairman of the Fed admitted that the Business Cycle ALWAYS wins.
