Watch This – Will President Marbles Make it To The End of This Year?
Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 8, 2021 | Sundance | 296 Comments
Serious question: will Joe Biden make it to the end of the year before his worsening jibberish collapses his facade and the media initiate the shift to Kamala Harris?
Before answering, watch this video from today. Biden cannot remember the name of the Pentagon, or the name of his Defense Secretary, Lloyd Austin. Instead, he rambles through an incoherent mess of mumbled words as he attempts to exit the speech.
Eventually the media will have to stop pretending not to notice the dementia.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Launch Attack Against British Royal Family

Rich entitled multi-millionaires launch an attack against rich entitled multi-billionaires while resting comfortably in a residence paid for by the benefactors they attack.
If I searched for 24 hours I doubt I could find a f**k for me to give them. However, that said, these elitist pontificating silver-spoon weirdos must have an agenda to position themselves as a victim for some reason. Most likely they are seeking relevance, personally and financially, by requesting sympathies from the ever-sensitive U.S. ‘fee-fee’ tribe.
Prince Harry literally does this while his grandfather Prince Phillip is on his death-bed. What a self-indulgent @ss.
Oh, and President Trump was obviously correct…..
(VIA AP) – The implications for the interview — which was broadcast Sunday evening in the United States and will air in Britain on Monday night — are only beginning to be understood. Emily Nash, royal editor at Hello! Magazine, said the revelations had left her and many other viewers “shell-shocked.”
“I don’t see how the palace can ignore these allegations, they’re incredibly serious,” she said. “You have the racism allegations. Then you also have the claim that Meghan was not supported, and she sought help even from the HR team within the household and was told that she couldn’t seek help.”
The younger royals have made campaigning for support and awareness around mental health one of their priorities. But Harry said the royal family was completely unable to offer that support to its own members.
[…] The couple had faced severe criticism in the United Kingdom before the interview. Prince Philip, 99, is in a London hospital recovering from a heart procedure, and critics saw the decision to go forward as being a burden on the queen — even though CBS, rather than Harry and Meghan, dictated the timing of the broadcast.

Cue the Prescient Trump soundbite…
Biden Administration Returns to Obama Policy for Unaccompanied Alien Children – House At Military Bases, Release to Non Familial Custody
Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 8, 2021 | Sundance | 89 Comments
The exploitation of children from Central America and Mexico reached a peak of crisis during the Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) influx in 2014/2015. Many people might be familiar with the 2013/2014/2015 “Unaccompanied Alien Children” (UAC) crisis which stemmed from a specific President Obama policy/construct to allow a massive influx of Central American migrants to enter the U.S.
Additionally, despite most media reports to the contrary, a considerable number of those UAC’s were teen and young gang members from South America, including MS-13 members. The aliens were granted entry by the Obama administration, supported by false assertions of refugee status and shipped to various regional locales.
Following the 2016 election President Trump, DHS and HHS officials put stringent rules in place for unaccompanied children who arrived at the border. One of the consistent concerns was: ‘who would these children be released to‘, as exploitation of vulnerable children including sex trafficking, child labor and human slavery was a problem.
The JoeBama administration is now returning to the prior policy of allowing non-familial custody of children who crossed the border. Even going so far as to no longer require background checks on the sponsors claiming custody. Suffice to say with the increase in sex-trafficking and exploitation, this is policy is alarming in the extreme.
According to Reuters JoeBama is now looking at housing children on military bases until they can be transferred into the custody of unknown and unverified entities who are claiming to take charge of the minor children.
WASHINGTON, March 5 (Reuters) – The U.S. government is evaluating a Virginia military base as a possible site to house unaccompanied migrant children amid a sharp rise in migrants arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border, according to a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) notice seen by Reuters.
A Pentagon spokesman confirmed that Fort Lee, a U.S. Army facility in Virginia, was under consideration.
The number of migrant children arriving at the southwest border has increased in recent months, putting pressure on HHS-run shelters that house the children before they are released to parents or other sponsors in the United States. (LINK)
The U.S. government facilitating the distribution of vulnerable children should be an issue that DC politicians take up quickly. The previous changes to the custodial checks were announced late in February and also highlighted by Reuters:
(Reuters) […] The department on Wednesday sent out new guidance to shelter operators saying they could pay for transportation for unaccompanied minors, including flights, in cases where sponsors cannot pay. Previously, providers needed special approval for that step.
[…] The Biden administration simultaneously proposed its own changes this week to several forms used related to custody requests by potential sponsors of unaccompanied children. As part of the changes, which could go into effect after 60 days, HHS would no longer ask sponsors for their Social Security numbers on the forms. (read more)
When contemplating why Mexico does not do more in their efforts to stop the invasion of Central American migrants, it would be wise to remember the history of these issues. The Mexican government are not likely to offer more than the appearance of token resistance and their history in this regard is very clear.
With the migrant march from Central America, mostly Hondurans, Guatemala and El Salvador it is important to revisit the history of Mexican threats -from Mexican officials- which preceded the current year influx.
♦ In August of 2017 President Trump and Commerce Secretary Ross were discussing their trade efforts within NAFTA and renegotiation with Mexico/Canada on a trilateral basis. However, the U.S. administration said if it doesn’t work, they’d scrap the 3-way NAFTA deal and go one-on-one with individual bilateral agreements. In response, Mexican Economic Minister Ildefonso Guajardo threatened to flood the U.S. with South American illegal aliens, criminals and gang members as leverage:
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexico could pull back on cooperation in migration and security matters if the United States walks away from talks to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Mexican economy minister said in a newspaper report published on Thursday.
“If they do not treat [us] well commercially, they should not expect us to treat them well by containing the migration that comes from other regions of the world and crosses Mexico,” Guajardo said. “Or they should not expect to be treated well in collaboration with security issues in the region.” (LINK)
However, Mexican Minister Ildefonso Guarjardo’s threat was mild compared to a threat in January 2017, when another Mexican official promised to flood the U.S. with South American drugs and gang violence:
♦ In a stunning segment on Fareed Zakaria’s CNN broadcast January 29th, 2017, Mexico’s former foreign minister, Jorge Castaneda, states the Mexican government was willing to counter U.S. President Donald Trump policy by unleashing drug cartels upon the U.S. border.
Watch, and more importantly LISTEN, to his words at 02:10 below (Prompted):
This was the most politically explosive admission by the Mexican government in the past decade. Even Fareed Zakaria realized what was being threatened and quickly attempted to redirect the conversation.
Mr. Castaneda was openly admitting a willingness to promote drug trafficking. Additionally, Jorge Castaneda is so proud of the threat, he posted a video of the discussion on his own YouTube page.
In June 2018, during the Mexican presidential election, leading candidate Lopez-Obrador previewed his perspective on Central American migration into the United States:
MEXICO – Mexican presidential candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) said Tuesday that migrants from all over the world who decide it’s “a necessity” have a “human right” to migrate to the United States.
“Soon, very soon, after the victory of our movement, we will defend migrants all over the American continent and the migrants of the world who, by necessity, must abandon their towns to find life in the United States,” Lopez Obrador said during a rally in the Mexican city of Culiacán, eluniversal.com reports. “It’s a human right we will defend,” he added. (more)
President Trump was able to leverage the economic influence of the United States to change the attitudes and behaviors of the Mexican government. However, the Biden administration is taking the exact opposite approach, and the corruption is so deep in Mexico their government is not able to withstand the pressure from the cartels which will benefit from the Biden approach.

This is Why Biden Does not Address the World
Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics Re-Posted Mar 8, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
The vast majority of people who voted for Biden did so because they hated Trump. Well, it looks like they got what they deserved. The problem is, the rest of us got what we tried to avoid. This is total BS that every economist left – right – center agreed to this $1.9 trillion package and the so-called “unify the nation” Biden promised was just a campaign slogan. They rejected every amendment of the Republicans so there is no way everyone agreed on this. When Ronald Reagan was president, they were screaming because the National Debt hit $1 trillion. Biden is spending nearly twice the entire national debt accumulated from World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam.
We would NOT need such a stimulus package if the politicians did not lockdown the economy, destroyed businesses deliberately, killed people in nursing homes like Cuomo because he was too busy chasing his secretary around the desk, and world leaders were not kissing up to Schwab. NO GOVERNMENT in 6,000 years has EVER locked down its economy because of a virus. Just amazing.
Is Europe Finished?
Armstrong Economics Blog/BRITAIN Re-Posted Mar 8, 2021 by Martin Armstrong
COMMENT: Well Marty, I guess you ever holding another WEC here in London will never happen. I feel like I am in prison.
GH
REPLY: Europe is totally in the hands of Klaus Schwab and his World Economic Forum which is pushing this new Global Marxist Takeover. I do not think I will ever see London again. These new laws of 10 years in prison for failing to reveal where you have been in Britain are just ruthless. Prime Minister Boris Johnson is imposing new border restrictions that could include systematic quarantine for all visitors from abroad and the use of localization and facial-recognition technology to check that people required to do so remain in isolation. I don’t think you will see American tourists watching the changing of the guard.
Meanwhile, in France, Macron is moving to impose a third lockdown with his communist medical experts and scientific government advisors demanding total lockdowns to further the total destruction of the European economy. Macron has called up 4,400 officers to enforce a 6 pm curfew in Paris amid compliance concerns.
Then Merkel in Germany said back in January that she was considering extending Germany’s lockdown until April in an effort to contain what she reportedly called the ‘British virus.’ Then on March 3rd, 2021, Germany extended its lockdown by three weeks until March 28th, yet claiming it would ease some restrictions to allow nonessential stores and other businesses to reopen in areas with relatively low infection rates.
Europe is finished. It is totally in the hands of the World Economic Forum. Forget tourism and all of this is being imposed deliberately to destroy the economy so they can BUILD BACK BETTER. You cannot rebuild anything until you destroy it. Curiously, they have always blamed Nero for burning down Rome so he could build his Golden Palace. It looks like this time it is Klaus Schwab who I predict history will NOT treat kindly when freedom to write returns.
Like the Euro, they never allowed the people to really vote on joining that currency in Germany. Kohl stated he acted like a dictator because he knew he would lose. This is the very same thing. They are using this virus to terrorize people so they can destroy the economy and then BUILD BACK BETTER – Green!
It certainly appears that the British pound is still very much at risk of making new historic lows into 2022. The destruction of the British economy is just astonishing. Johnson managed to create a drop in GDP of nearly 10% in 2020 – the worst decline in 300 years. He appears to be trying to do a better job this year with hopes of creating a 15% decline.
Meanwhile, in the United States, John Kerry is the Davosman, and Biden is signing executive order after order and has never made a single speech since taking office – no president has ever done this! This begs the question who is really running the government right now? This has been the greatest fear with Biden that he is not all there and Harris, with no international experience whatsoever, is going to take the role of international relations. The Deep State is in full control and Schwab seems to have at least a few strings into the White House.
Lin Wood Whistleblower Connects VERY IMPORTANT Dot on Deep State Surveillance and Rosenstein Activity With FBI To Compromise People
Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 6, 2021 | Sundance | 539 Comments
Attorney Lin Wood has released an interview with a whistleblower [pdf here] who operated for years within part of the apparatus connected to Deep State surveillance. While the focus is upon the activity of Rod Rosenstein and even Mike Pence as it relates to the Trump administration, there is part of the interview that connects to a much deeper aspect. The testimonial connects a larger story if you know what to extract.
While I am still reviewing the overall content, within the first few pages of the interview this segment jumps out – BIG TIME:
The whistle-blower is describing his activity in Baltimore, Maryland, while working with then U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein. At first review this part seems attributed only to attest the validity of the whistle-blower himself. However, read carefully what he just stated while reminding yourself of the issue encountered by former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson.
Most people have forgotten that Sharyl Attkisson’s story originated with some unknown entity planting “classified material’ on her laptop, which she discovered and then independently had reviewed by forensic auditors. Attkisson’s computer audit identified government intrusion into her computer system, which not coincidentally is exactly what the whistleblower is outlining in this segment of the testimonial. Stay with me…
You might also remember that later on –early 2020- someone provided Attkisson with details and a tip about the intrusion. That information then led to Ms. Attkisson refiling the lawsuit and, this is the important part…. Attkisson named Rod Rosenstein and Shawn Henry, a former FBI official in her follow-up lawsuit. Shawn Henry was the former head of the FBI DC field office, who also became the head of Crowdstrike, a contracted intelligence gathering operation for the government and a politically connected data security and forensic company.
With the information from the Lin Wood whistle-blower, it appears the activity he is admitting to undertaking is in direct alignment with the computer intrusion and illegal compromise that Attkisson narrowly avoided. All of the participants, and the identified corrupt activity, now merge.
The Lin Wood whistle-blower outlines how the Deep State was conducting electronic surveillance on political interests in order to compromise people. Shawn Henry was the head of Crowstrike, a known FBI contractor with access to the NSA database as outlined in the 2016 admissions by NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers. The database was compromised by FBI contractors conducting political surveillance.
Both the Lin Wood whistle-blower and the tipster to Sharyl Attkisson are noting that Rod Rosenstein was one of the organizers of the operations from his role as U.S. Attorney in Maryland. Now all of the compromises are pictured, and all of the motives behind all of these players starts to make a lot more sense.
Here is the Lin Wood whistleblower testimony:
.
Now overlay: (1) what we previously know about the NSA database exploits; and (2) Sharyl Attkisson’s computer intrusion:
A very interesting development appeared early in 2020 amid the ongoing effort of former CBS investigative journalist, Sharyl Attkisson, to resolve the issue of who spied on her, planted spyware and infiltrated her computer systems for illegal surveillance. [Attkisson website here]
According to a 2020 court filing [Source Here] a person who was engaged in the “wrongful activity” has come forward to provide Ms. Attkisson with details about the operation. As a result of those whistle-blower revelations Attkisson is able to name specific individuals who were running the operation:
Former DOJ Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein is named as the person who was in charge of the operation; and the former head of the FBI DC field office, Shawn Henry is also outlined.
Mr. Henry is the head of Crowdstrike, a contractor for the government and a politically connected data security and forensic company. Those who have followed the aspects related to the FBI use of the NSA database to illegally monitor U.S. persons; and those who followed the DNC cover story of Russia “hacking”; will be familiar with Crowdstrike.
According to the updated lawsuit (full pdf below) Rod Rosenstein, as the U.S. Attorney for Maryland, was in charge of the Obama 2011 and 2012 operation to monitor journalists specific to Ms. Attkissons reporting on Fast-n-Furious and Benghazi.
What I find additionally interesting is the overall timeline in the bigger picture.
In the April 2017 release from FISC Judge Rosemary Collyer outlining the abuses of the FISA-702 process by FBI “contractors”, where the NSA database was being use for unlawful surveillance of U.S. persons, Collyer specifically noted the findings of her review of the period from November ’16 to May ’17 (85% non compliant rate) was likely to have been happening since 2012. [Go Deep]
The “IRS Scandal” were the DOJ was creating a list of U.S. persons for political targeting, and requested CD ROM’s of tax filings, was the lead-up to the 2012 exploitation of the NSA database. [The Secret Research Project] So there’s a larger picture of government surveillance under the Obama administration that becomes more clear.
Political spying 1.0 was actually the weaponization of the IRS. This is where the term “Secret Research Project” originated as a description from the Obama team. It involved the U.S. Department of Justice under Eric Holder and the FBI under Robert Mueller. It never made sense why Eric Holder requested over 1 million tax records via CD ROM, until overlaying the timeline of the FISA abuse:
The IRS sent the FBI “21 disks constituting a 1.1 million page database of information from 501(c)(4) tax exempt organizations, to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.” The transaction occurred in October 2010 (link)
Why disks? Why send a stack of DISKS to the DOJ and FBI when there’s a pre-existing financial crimes unit within the IRS. All of the evidence within this sketchy operation came directly to the surface in early spring 2012.
This is the same time-frame when DNI James Clapper falsely denied to congress about the U.S. government -through the NSA- collecting metadata on all U.S. electronic communication. This is the same time-frame where CIA Director John Brennan was monitoring the computer networks of congressional intelligence oversight staff.
When you overlay the new information from the Attkisson lawsuit, what emerges is the picture of an intentional effort by the Obama administration to weaponize the ability to collect electronic information on domestic political opposition. It’s one long continuum.
Here’s the new Attkisson lawsuit (using new information from a whistle-blower):
.
Within the lawsuit the DOJ inspector general (Michael Horowitz) is identified as adverse to the interests of the case. Meaning DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz was engaged in behavior to help the institution cover-up what independent computer forensic technicians were able to discover. Employees from the IG’s office also told Ms. Attkisson they had received instructions from the DC offices adverse to the interest of truthful discovery.
In addition to the institutional cover-up effort; it would be worth noting the then current DOJ and FBI officials, who were identified as holding corrupt motives, were still positioned at key offices. An example is FBI Supervisory Special Agent David Archey (Mueller Team) being promoted to head up the Virginia FBI field office.
Obviously the DC institutional swamp is very deep and very corrupt. Current and former politicians and federal officials who have engaged in corrupt behavior, or who have facilitated corrupt -potentially unlawful- surveillance activity, are still working within the system to avoid exposure.
Another example was Christine Blasey-Ford hoax facilitator and Andrew McCabe attorney, Michael Bromwich, being hired by corrupt Chicago prosecutor Kim Foxx in an effort to protect herself from the outcome of the Jussie Smollett hoax in Chicago. Why does a Cook County, Illinois, State Attorney need to hire a DC-based lawyer?
It was obvious early on the Jussie Smollett hoax was connected to several members of the Obama team and network, the Smollett story directly connects to Kamala Harris. Michael Bromwich, who became Kim Foxx’s lawyer, is a former DOJ inspector general with ongoing direct contacts with corrupt DOJ and FBI officials inside the institutions. Chicago State Attorney Foxx hiring Bromwich is yet another example of DC managing the cover.
Suddenly all of the motives for all of these characters starts to merge with direct sunlight.
Whether it’s the identified weaponization of NSA databases to gain political leverage; or whether it was corrupt FBI officials covering for eachother and the DOJ ‘declining to prosecute’; or whether it was the need to put Rod Rosenstein into a position where he could cover for Deep State activity; or whether it was AG Bill Barr covering for the transparently corrupt former DAG Rod Rosenstein; or whether was the institutional need to hide DOJ scope memos given to Andrew Weissmann and Robert Mueller which initiated a false investigation (insurance policy) of a sitting United States President; or whether it is simply the need for the Obama crew to install an oblivious and cognitively impaired Biden so that Kamala Harris could continue the cover operation; one thing remains brutally obvious….
Let all of this settle in, contemplate it for a while, follow the dots and citations, and a very clear picture emerges that explains the motives all of these corrupt characters are carrying.
Everything reconciles.

Rosenstein Now Admits Recording Trump Was Discussed with Andrew McCabe
Posted originally on the conservative tree house March 5, 2021 | Sundance | 34 Comments
The Washington Examiner notes an interview with Rod Rosenstein, and he now admits to having a conversation with Andrew McCabe where recording President Trump was discussed by Main Justice and the FBI group targeting the administration.
WASHINGTON – In his first TV interview since leaving the Trump administration in May 2019, Rosenstein told FOX 5 that there was talk of recording the 45th president for the inquiry but denied that he ever intended to wear a “wire” during the turbulent days that followed Trump firing FBI Director James Comey in 2017 before the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel.
“I had a conversation with Andrew McCabe about an investigation that he was conducting involving the president. And there was a discussion about whether or not the president would be recorded in the course of that investigation. I never intended to wear a wire, and I think that if Mr. McCabe asked me to wear a wire, we would’ve had to reconsider the whole thing. Because you can’t run an investigation and serve as a witness,” Rosenstein said in an episode of the Siege on Democracy podcast published last month.” (read more)
Those who followed the details closely, read the overlay of timelines, FOIA releases, congressional releases and testimony CTH provided, already know Rosenstein and Robert Mueller DID record President Trump in the Oval Office on May 16, 2017. The evidence was within a series of disconnected memos, interview notes and the inspector general report. The reason no-one reported on the evidence was because it was a series of events only evident if disconnected data was put together.
