President Trump Hosts Meeting With Parents, Teachers and Students Affected by School Shootings…


RE-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on February 21, 2018 by

Earlier today President Trump hosted a meeting with teachers, student and parents affected by recent school shootings.  The President began the session by stating his intent to listen to each view and perspective and then move forward.

The stories told by some meeting participants were quite emotional; others were very deliberate and focused on both short-term and longer term issues. Outside the room both sides of the political continuum are very passionate on this issue; and it doesn’t help to have the deafening drumbeat of ideological U.S. media politicizing the discussion whenever possible.

Jaw Dropping – The Washington Post Attacks Reverend Billy Graham Hours After He Dies…


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on February 21, 2018 by

In 2012 the DNC denounced Jesus Christ three times during their convention. Until today that stood as one of the most alarming public representations of how the Democrats hate Christianity. The Washington Post just took that hatred one step further….

(Satan Inspired Article Link)

I cannot even begin to fathom the level of institutional evil and hatred it would take for this story to work its way through the editorial process of a national American publication and not encounter anyone who would stop them in their tracks.  Seriously, no words. Just

Pathetic CNN Harasses Elderly Trump Supporter for Thought Crimes…


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on February 21, 2018 by

CNN has gone full Stazi.  Pathetic. Not content with bullying teenage Reddit users who create memes, CNN takes it a step further and tracks down a woman at her home in Florida to inform her on camera she’s been tricked into colluding with the Russians.

(Daily Caller) As part of its obsessive coverage of Russiagate, CNN sent reporter Drew Griffin to Florida to interview an elderly woman who runs a Facebook group that was targeted by Russian trolls prior to the 2016 election:

[…] It is unclear what Griffin hoped to accomplish with the interview. He sought to convince Goldfarb that the Russian firm, called the Internet Research Agency, had infiltrated her pro-Trump group. (read more)

Socialism Always Moves to Tyranny


Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics

RE-Posted Feb 21, 2018 by Martin Armstrong

 

The economic message taught in most universities is very distorted. It universally teaches children to judge economic systems from the perspective of their victims. They will endlessly point out the impoverished people and the devastation of the climate as proof that capitalism is evil and that we need government to intervene. We have economist after economist talking always about income disparity as an evil implying that everyone should earn close to the same – one income fits all.

Socialism is a Sin

As they always point a finger at the rich and covet whatever they have in direct violation of the Ten Commandments, politicians are elevated to a pedestal and championed as our savior ignoring how they too leave office clothed in riches and the fool is always the person who buys into the whole political-economic-socialist agenda.

Hillary Clinton saw nothing wrong with renting a house for $50,000 a week in the Hamptons hamlet of Amagansett. I know a lot of wealthy people who would not spend that much to rent a house for a vacation for just one week. It was Hillary during the campaign who pointed to the fact that Trump was a billionaire and said: “Think of what we could do with that!”

Then we have Obama – another champion of the poor. He bought a house in DC and paid $8.1 million. Of course, there was the scheming Obama who turned to real corruption to buy a house for $1.6 million BEFORE he was a Senator. He cut a deal with an indicted felon who bought a property for $625,000 and then sold it to Obama for $104,500 as Obama said it was fair value – right!. Obama has magically earned millions from public service.

Then there is Obama’s famous Rolex watch.  His watch is a Rolex Cellini, the cheap version which tells time-only. It is a white gold case and a classic alligator strap which goes for $15,200.

The Rolex is even pictured in his official portrait. Once again, we have Democrats who always target the rich to get votes and portray them as evil, clothing themselves and living like kings.

Capitalism = Freedom, which simply means you are free to do whatever you like in life compared to Communism where the government told you where to live and what to do. It is Socialism where the government takes an authoritative role that then encourages bribery that is not capitalism, but tyranny.

Socialism has become simply just propaganda. The sad part about it has been most people feel good when they help someone else. I bought computers for the grade school I went to and funded computer courses to try to give the kids a step ahead in life back in the early ’90s. Rockefeller funded archeology around the world among many other things and when you go to museums you see collections donated by private sources. The  National Gallery was donated Andrew Mellon who bought the collection from the communists in Russia to save them and built the museum.

Capitalism lets you decide what to do rather than the government takes the money and put most of it in its pocket for administrative costs. Socialism plays upon the human trait of helping others and then exploits it for those in power who pretend to care while lining their pockets.

Unfortunately, as socialism continually hands more and more power to the government, you end up transforming the government into a tyranny. The classic example of that is simply the bail-in policies where they will no longer protect the people against mismanagement of banks, but they will instead take the money of the people to protect the banks. FDIC was to protect the people and was a BAILOUT system created as part of Roosevelt’s New Deal. That has given way to now BAIL-INS so the government has abandoned even the socialist agenda moving ever closer to raw tyranny.

Mueller Expands his Investigation Desperate to Bring Down Trump


Armstrong Economics Blog/Conspiracy

Re-Posted Feb 21, 2018 by Martin Armstrong

CNN is ecstatic. Mueller cannot prove any connection between Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and Russia, so now he is turning to investigate if he solicited China or Qatar to invest any money in his company during the campaign.

This is what I mean about Mueller. He is a vile and very evil man who is hell-bent on trying to bring down the Trump Administration for any reason whatsoever. The danger here is he will set off civil unrest that has not been seen since the Civil War.

The CNN reported that Mueller is targeting Kushner for discussions with investors in a project, demonstrates how corrupt Mueller really is. All the scandals of Clintons and their family and friends involved in deals and selling influence to a foreign country who donated to their fake foundation,  The Justice Department gave a pass on anything the Democrats ever did.

The Ukrainian private oil and gas company, Burisma, announced that it has appointed Hunter Biden, the youngest son of US Vice President Joe Biden, to its board of directors. Why are Democrats and their families peddling influence always given a get-out-of-jail-free pass? Mueller is proving that the Deep State is against anyone who does not allow them to do as they like.

Mueller is simply extremely dangerous and he may be the lynch-pin that brings down the entire Western political system for taking out Trump will simply not restore the system to its former free-reign of corruption.

I am not a fan of Kushner, for he is the one who introduced Trump to the Goldman Sachs boys. That’s another huge problem far more serious than any of Mueller’s fictional investigations.

Welcome to the Conspiracy of the Deep State being spear-headed by Mueller. He should be dismissed. The Russian investigation is over, which was all started by Hillary who bluntly stated publicly that Russia “meddled with” the election. Where is the investigation of Hillary selling influence to foreign countries when she was Secretary of State? The FBI uncovered Russia bribed the Obama Administration to get the Uranium deal. Why was that never prosecuted? Oh, that’s right. They are Democrats who support big government and the Deep State!

Bill Clinton did receive $500,000 to deliver a speech at a Russian bank that was promoting Uranium One stock, according to The New York Times, and the company’s chairman donated $2.35 million to the Clinton Foundation in four installments as Uranium One was being acquired. All told, $145 million went to the Clinton Foundation from those linked to Uranium One and UrAsia deals. Handing Bill Clinton speaking fees of $500,000 is the clever way of handing bribes these days.

Of course, Mueller would never investigate that corruption of the Clintons with direct links to Russia.

Chairman Devin Nunes Interview With Tucker Carlson…


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on February 20, 2018 by

Earlier tonight House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes appeared on Tucker Carlson television show for an interview.  The topic is the HPSCI investigation into the details of the Clinton-Steele Dossier and the FBI’s politically motivated use therein to obtain a fraudulent FISA surveillance warrant.

Earlier in the day Chairman Nunes sent letters to former President Obama officials in an effort to discover their connection to the dossier and their knowledge of the content.

Devin Nunes Submits Questions To Obama Officials About Clinton-Steele Dossier…


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on February 20, 2018 by

Anyone else notice how, post letter to FISC Judge Collyer, Chairman Bob Goodlatte is running silent, yet deep?  ‘One-Ping Only‘…. we digress.

You might remember from a recent interview with HPSCI Chairman Devin Nunes how the Chairman was appreciative of State Department Jonathan Winer’s op-ed in the Washington Post regarding his role in promoting the Clinton-Steele Dossier… Well, today Chairman Nunes follows that trail and submits a letter to several members of the Obama administration inquiring as to their participation and knowledge.

The chairman has sent a series of questions about the sketchy Clinton-Steele dossier on Donald Trump to a number of current and former government officials.  Unfortunately, the committee letter does not specify to whom Nunes sent the questions, however according to Byron York there are more than 20 recipients.

No doubt former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey are at least three of the recipients. Those three would be of particular interest due to their prior collaboration on the sketchy intelligence community Joint Analysis Report.

Readers will likely remember from our initial research how we strongly suspected the FISA Title-1 application was likely an aggregate assembly of two specific sets of documents. Set #1 the Clinton-Steele Dossier; and set #2 the underlying documents behind the intelligence community Joint Analysis Report (JAR).

For over six months we have suspected the FISA application was almost entirely based on those two sets of dubious, weak and generally unsubstantiated data.  This prior hunch has gained more validity as the details behind who the ‘small group’ consisted of has grown.

The Obama political intelligence apparatus (DOJ, FBI, ODNI, CIA and DoS) are all fundamentally wrapped up in the political objectives behind the Clinton-Steele dossier and all the uses therein.   The outlier was the NSA and Director Admiral Mike Rogers; again, more evidence of why the internal intelligence apparatus were demanding Director Rogers be fired from the administration.

Again, I repeat for emphasis.  The way to deconstruct the ‘Trump Operation’ is to focus on the underlying cornerstone, ‘the dossier’.   We have continued to point toward this approach as the most direct path to get the underlying scheme exposed and subsequently take down all the corrupt officials.   This approach also appears to be the course of investigative action by Nunes, Goodlatte and Grassley.

The Clinton-Steele Dossier is now exposed as the foundational document behind a fraudulent FISA surveillance warrant.  As such Phase-two includes exposing everyone who is associated with the assembly, use, promotion and distribution of the Clinton-Steele Dossier.

Final Thought:  Notice how the approved Title-1 warrant was issued on October 21st, 2016 with three re-authorizations of 90-days each:

  • October 21st,2016 through mid January 2017 (original authorization)
  • Mid January through mid/end April (re-authorization 1)
  • Mid/End April trough end July (re-authorization 2)
  • July through October ’17 (re-authorization 3)

Notice it was immediately following re-Authorization #3 (July 2017) when OIG investigative notices began showing participants within the ‘small group’, beginning with FBI Agent Peter Strzok and FBI Lawyer Lisa Page.

In the original reporting (Dec ’17) Strzok and Page were removed in July/August 2017 as a result of notification from Inspector General Michael Horowitz.  This is the same time-frame when DNI Dan Coats and AG Jeff Sessions announced a special DOJ-FBI task force that media ignored.   It was August 2017 when Rod Rosenstein confirmed the task force was in place.

None of this appears coincidental.  All of this activity is connected.

Video Series Part 2 – Political Fraud and The FBI FISA Application…


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on February 20, 2018 by

In Part 1 we outlined a historic pattern of FISA-702 surveillance abuse by President Obama’s top officials within the DOJ and FBI. Here in Part 2 we outline how a specific application for a Title-1 surveillance warrant to the FISA court was intentionally misrepresented.

This Part 2 video report focuses on the Obama administration’s Illegal spying of the Trump Campaign through an American named Carter Page who was a brief volunteer on the campaign.  This video outlines the FISA ‘Title-1’ warrant on Mr. Page and the House and Senate investigations of the executive branch’s misleading application to the FISA Court.  Former U.S. attorney Joseph diGenova says he expects former top FBI officials to be charged criminally.

We hope you enjoy the content and will share with those who don’t have the exhaustive amount of time necessary to keep up on the issues.

A House Intelligence Committee memo shows government surveillance abuse and includes testimony from FBI Asst. Director Andrew McCabe saying without the infamous Trump dossier, the FBI and DOJ would not have secured surveillance warrants to spy on at least one member of the Trump team.

The House Intelligence Committee released the memo outlining abuses involving FISA, or the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, during the 2016 election.

On January 4, 2018, Senators Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham referred Christopher Steele, the author of an unverified “Trump dossier,” to the FBI for further investigation after reviewing Justice Department documents that conflicted with Steele’s sworn statements in British court about the distribution of his research.

At the time of the referral, the existence of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant applications described in the HPSCI memo was still classified. Grassley had sought the FBI’s cooperation to confirm that portions of the referral derived from sources other than the applications were unclassified.

Following weeks of consultation, the FBI asked the committee to redact additional material despite confirming that it was, in fact, not classified, and only approved the release of the unclassified, heavily-redacted version of the referral after the White House formally declassified the House memo, known alternately as “The Nunes Memo”.

While the HPSCI Majority memo is no longer classified, the underlying text of the FISA applications that it references are still controlled by the DOJ officials within the executive branch.  House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte is currently working with the FISA court to get the DOJ/FBI application they possess to the committee.

The Grassley-Graham referral contains verbatim quotes from the FISA applications that are not included in the HPSCI ‘Nunes’ memo. Specifically, the referral quotes the government’s description of Steele’s statements to the FBI about his contacts with the media.

On Friday February 2nd, 2018, Chairman Grassley asked FBI Director Chris Wray to remove the redactions of his referral and declassify the underlying supportive documents; known as the “Grassley Memo”.  FBI Director Wray did not remove all redactions, but did remove most. Here is the newest version:

Video Series Part 1 – The FISA Court and Federal Contractor Spying…


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on February 20, 2018 by

We are proud to provide a unique series of high quality production videos highlighting the core issues around ongoing investigations by HPSCI Chairman Devin Nunes, House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte and Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley.

These exclusive videos are assembled from our research and prior outlines. Much of the content you will already know; however, most people don’t. The goal is to distill our research into short high-quality ‘special report‘ type video segments that are easily digestible, and will help educate people on what the importance of what is happening.

The videos are created by John Spiropoulos a former MSM journalist and producer for Channel 7 in Washington DC (1979 – 1989) who covered the White House, major national stories, and the economy. We hope you will enjoy the content and share with those who don’t have the exhaustive amount of time necessary to keep up on the issues.

VIDEO #1 – Government spying on the Trump campaign may have begun early in 2016, perhaps sooner, by private contractors working for the FBI. The Federal Government admits it conducted illegal surveillance on American citizens through private contractors. The details are in a 99-page FISA Court memorandum and opinion issued by Judge Rosemary Collyer:

A court order released in April 2017 from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) found that the DOJ, FBI and NSA, under former President Obama, routinely violated American privacy protections while scouring through overseas intercepts; and failed to disclose the extent of the problem until the final days before Donald Trump was elected president in 2016.

In describing the violations, the FISA court said the illegal searches conducted by the FBI under Obama were “widespread” and created a “very serious Fourth Amendment issue.” These new discoveries come from unsealed FISA court documents dated April 26, 2017 and center around a hearing dated October 26, 2016, just days before the 2016 election; in which the FISA court apparently learned for the first time of “widespread” and illegal spying on American citizens by the DOJ and FBI under the Obama administration.

Mueller Trying to Take Down Trump – Will He Create Civil War?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics

Re-Posted Feb 20, 2018 by Martin Armstrong

 

Prosecutors are really no longer able to prove cases without what is commonly called a “rat” who will take the stand and say whatever the prosecutor directs them to do. The always charge conspiracy because they do not have to actually prove you committed any crime. The threaten someone else to testify against you who swears you intended to do someone or they did something and you told them to do it. It becomes just he said she said affair with no actual proof just innuendo. Conspiracy is the most abusive crime that has filled prisons with never proving anything.

In a mob trial in New York, a defendant moved to get his phone calls from inside prison that is all recorded. The prison (MCC) made the mistake of giving him the phone calls of a co-defendant who would be testifying for the government against him. To my shock, when we listened to the tapes, here the prosecutor was asking the “rat” to testify against someone else. He responded that he did not know that guy. The prosecutor then said: “By the time I am done, you will know him as your brother.” The tapes were given to Judge Kaplan who held that the tapes referred to another case and refused to deny a motion to prevent the “rat” from testifying.

There was another encounter with how the prosecutors knowing win cases by presenting fake evidence. There was a 23-year-old good looking Spanish kid by the name of Manny. He had asked me to write a remorse letter for him at sentencing. I asked him what did he do? He said he killed two people and went back to his cell to get the pictures. He had stuck a shotgun in the face of a guy and blew his head apart like a pumpkin. I was totally shocked. I did not know what to say. I asked him why did he do this. He said he just wanted to see what it felt like.

Later, the two people Manny testified against I encountered and they were endlessly talking about this guy “Crazy Manny” who testified that he had to kill these two people because these guys threatened to kill him if he did not. They got life +20 years and Crazy Manny got early release.

The basic Conspiracy statute 18 U.S. Code §371 was increased from a 2-year penalty to 5 years in 1948. Then there is 18 U.S. Code § 1030 – Fraud and related activity in connection with computers which can land you in prison for 20 years. Then there is the conspiracy against a financial institution that carries a 30-year penalty – 18 U.S. Code §1344.

Criminal Conspiracy is the most dangerous statute ever crafted which allows the turning of one person against another with no hard evidence. It has been widely criticized for decades, but the government will never abandon this tyranny for they would then have to actually prove a crime, which they no longer seem to be capable of doing when they don’t have to. In 1922, Harvard Law wrote: “A doctrine so vague in its outlines and uncertain in its fundamental nature as criminal conspiracy lends no strength or glory to the law; it is a veritable quicksand of shifting opinion and ill-considered thought.” 35 HARVARD LAW REVIEW 393, 393 (1922).

This is what Mueller is now conspiring to do to try to take down Trump. He cannot prove there was any collusion with the Russians, but why do we let facts get in the way? CNN, Washington Post, New York Times, POLITICO, and others have all reported that Mueller’s indictment is a proven fact. They are all salivating over the idea of now threatening people with life in imprisonment if they do not say whatever Mueller demands.

Now, Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, is Mueller’s target to try to convert him into a “rat” os formally known as a cooperating witness. Mueller has been unsuccessful so far so now he is going after Rick Gates threatening him with prison time to testify against Manafort. If Mueller’s investigation can get Manford to testify to his script, then he can take down the White House and set the stage for the complete collapse of Western society. Mueller is now offering a deal to Gates who cannot take down Trump, but he will use him to take down Manafort to threaten him with 30 years+. In turn, he hopes to get Manafort to then seek a deal and flip becoming a “rat” to take down the White House.

This is the real risk for if they take down Trump, this will by no means restore the system to where it was before Trump. We have crossed the Rubicon and Trump beat 17 Republicans and if you eliminate California (widely suspected of voter fraud) Trump beat Hillary in the popular vote nationwide. Taking down Trump is more likely going to spark civil unrest and a movement toward civil war even by 2021. The Trump supporters will view this whole thing as a conspiracy against the people and Democracy.
