Peter Navarro Delivers Remarks Before Reporting to Federal Prison for Contempt of a Congressional J6 Subpoena


Posted originally on the CTH on March 19, 2024 | Sundance 

People have asked me why I have remained relatively quiet about the legal issue and targeting of Peter Navarro by a weaponized DOJ and Congress.  I will explain in greater detail after the news from today.

Peter Navarro was a former adviser to President Trump and the lead of the coronavirus task force.  Yesterday, Chief Justice John Roberts issued a short opinion rejecting Navarro’s effort to have the Supreme Court intervene and stay his sentence.

Mr. Navarro was charged with contempt of Congress,  and was prosecuted by the DOJ and convicted in September of two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to provide testimony and documents to the J6 House Select Committee investigating the protest at the U.S. Capitol.  [Note, most of you know I received a similar subpoena from them, so I have a slightly different perspective than most.]

[…] Navarro spoke Tuesday morning in a strip mall in West Miami near the prison where he will serve four months. “I will walk proudly in there to do my time,” Navarro said. “I will gather strength from this: Donald John Trump is the nominee.”  Navarro called the case an “unprecedented assault on the constitutional separation of powers.” (media story)  WATCH:

.

I have a great deal of sympathy for Navarro.  I firmly believe he was unfairly targeted by the J6 committee and a weaponized DOJ who were looking for any opportunity to target people in Donald Trump’s orbit – including Navarro and Steve Bannon.  I regard Navarro as a really awesome ally, and functionally very smart and apt at the responsibilities he held in the White House.  Navarro is a good man.

Navarro was charged with failure to provide testimony and documents to Congress.  Navarro argued that executive privilege covered his refusal to provide testimony and documents.

The executive privilege that covers private conversation is held by President Trump and cannot be, should not be, waived by any advisor to the president.  However, there is a key element in the executive privilege aspect that is mostly overlooked by righteous pundits and conservative analysts as it pertains specifically to Navarro.

Notice how there has been no report of Peter Navarro asking President Trump or his legal counselors if they would agree to waive privilege in regard to his conversations and communication with the office of the president.  Apparently, Navarro never asked POTUS or the legal team if compliance with the subpoena was diligent from the perspective of the executive.  The absence of this approach is key and is part of my angst with the Navarro targeting.

Navarro never held any information, content, communication with, or conversation with President Trump that represented a threat to the president.  There simply wasn’t any conversation that would put the office of the presidency at risk, nor Donald Trump himself, if he gave testimony about conversation, while being represented by his lawyers and the legal representative of President Trump’s stood by to monitor the testimony and guard the executive privilege.

Secondly, the documents could be -and likely were- obtained by the J6 committee through electronic retrieval on their own.  On the document issue, it’s almost certain the committee issued subpoenas to email providers, cell phone providers, etc. and had the documentary information anyway.  The J6 lawyers would be looking for Navarro to filter, delete, hide or ¹change a document…. not as much the content therein.   The legal risk within documents, assuming that Navarro never advocated for anything illegal, is simply a risk from non-production.  That’s it.  [SEE, Trump #1 RULE: If you don’t want documents used against you, don’t create them.]

[¹Remember, that’s what burned George Papadopoulos]

Again, the J6 people can -I would guarantee did- retrieve every document they wanted; the non-production by the target is a silly hill to die on.  The truth has no agenda, nor can the truth be a weapon, if the truth of the documents did not present a legal threat by themselves.  Considering that Navarro is *not* the principal holder of the privilege, this non-production is like shooting yourself in the foot.

Had Navarro simply asked the White House and President Trump legal counsel about whether he should comply or not, and then put the burden of executive privilege on them, it would be the White House and the full weight of the Office of the Presidency defending Navarro from testimony and representing Trump’s legal interests.

I hope people can grasp what I am saying.

Ask the principal, that’s Donald Trump, if he wants to apply executive privilege.  If he does not, then give honest testimony about facts, conversations and events that present no legal threat to the principal.  The only reason to avoid this simple process is – I believe in this instance – the pride, ego and a willingness to enter into a fight where all the power is aligned against you.

I understand why being targeted by a weaponized government makes a person feel intensely angered and would trigger the fight instinct.  However, prudence, calm thoughts and reasonable intelligent thinking can ensure that BRUTAL HONESTY, which is to say carefully applied and strategic “extreme compliance,” is the best weapon against the bastards.

Peter Navarro is a good man, a very good man, who unfortunately made some strategic legal mistakes. I have a great deal of sympathy for Peter Navarro and feel he has been very unjustly targeted.

Also….. STUDY THIS GUY!

The Failed Promises We Made to the Youth


Posted originally on Mar 20, 2024 By Martin Armstrong |  

The video above is an accurate depiction of how Millennials and Gen Z are operating in today’s economy. They were told that working hard and obtaining a higher education could afford the American Dream. Instead, they are unable to access home ownership, begin families, and are crippled by debt. Analysts now seem perplexed at the birthrate crisis and why the younger generations are not having families. Those unfamiliar with stark differences in the cost of living over the last few decades do not understand that the promises made to the younger generations were built on lies.

The ad above was put forth by Coinbase, and while I have explained that crypto is NOT the solution, I do believe the solution will begin when the younger generations rise up. Those in Congress will not live to see the implications of the bills they pass. Once upon a time, a family could live comfortably on a salary of one. The head of the household need not have an extravagant job to support a family, as a worker at a factory could manage to supply his family with all they needed.

1940s MiddleClassFamily

Even in 1985, when the average person in the Baby Boomer generation turned 30, the average home in America was $82,800. In 2019, when Millennials turned 30, the average home price soared to $313,000. Gen Z is looking at a home price over $400,000. Now, the average income in the 1980s was around $23,464, meaning it would only take a few years to pay off a home that continued to appreciate in value. Yet we must factor in everything such as the price of tuition, inflation (goods, food, energy), the need for dual income and childcare services. There are endless variables but it all leads to a dead-end American dream for the youth.

This year, 2024, begins a sharp change in sentiments and a directional change followed by a major turning point in 2025. I have not seen the computer project something like this since 1985. Four of six models show a Trump victory, but the establishment simply will not let him win. Neither side will accept defeat, and we are looking at massive civil unrest paired with a war that will likely escalate over the summer months prior to the election that may be the last election held in the US. The computer shows real GDP in the US will decline into 2028, and inflation will rise due to international wars that produce absolutely nothing.

The Great Reset set for 2030 is NOT the solution, and their plan will fail. The world will change by 2032, but not due to the Great Reset. We are looking at the collapse of republican forms of government. By the time we get to 2032, that will be the light at the end of the tunnel. The USA will eventually break into three primary regions: 2) the South & Midwest Bible Belt will join together against, 2) the Northeast, and 3) the Pacific States will be their own la-la-land. The volatility will begin in 2024, but by 2032, the United States of America will not exist as it does today. The dollar will no longer be the reserve currency, as the yen will take its place. This does not mean that the world is ending, but rather, revolution is coming as the current system is collapsing before our eyes.

President Trump Lawyers Ask for an Appellate Review of Judge McAffee Decision Against Fani Willis


Posted originally on the CTH on March 18, 2024 | Sundance

When Atlanta Judge Scott McAfee ruled recently in the Fani Willis decision TechnoFog noted, “Judge McAfee rules that only one potential liar can prosecute the case – but not both potential liars. Instead of curing the “appearance of impropriety”, it allows it to continue. If Nathan Wade goes, why can Fani Willis stay? McAfee doesn’t give an answer.”

To chase down this judicial question, lawyers representing President Trump and seven co-defendants, collectively accused of RICO conspiracy, today asked McAfee to issue a certificate of immediate review of his order denying disqualification of Fani Willis.

The certificate, if issued, would allow the defendants to seek an immediate appeal of the order. Because in order for President Trump to appeal the order denying disqualification prior to trial, the defendants must obtain a certificate of immediate review within 10 days from the date of the order.  Today Trump’s lawyers asked for that certificate.  [pdf of motion HERE]

[SOURCE – pdf]

(VIA NBC) – […] It’s important to note that there isn’t an automatic right to appeal at this stage. Rather, McAfee would need to grant permission to do so within 10 days of his ruling, and then the state appeals court would need to agree to hear the case. If that happens, it could bring yet more delay to the prosecution that doesn’t even have a trial date yet and has already been sidetracked by the disqualification motion that led to McAfee’s ruling.

It’s unclear if the judge would grant such permission to appeal at this stage. In a recent unrelated ruling in which he dismissed some of the indictment’s counts, McAfee said he’d be inclined to permit an appeal of that ruling. But he didn’t say that in his disqualification order. That doesn’t automatically mean he wouldn’t permit an appeal, but he didn’t go out of his way to signal his openness to the idea like he did in his dismissal ruling. 

In his disqualification order, McAfee said that the defense failed to prove an actual conflict of interest, but that the appearance of impropriety meant that either Willis (and her whole office) or special prosecutor Nathan Wade had to go. Wade resigned that same day. Though he deemed a speech she gave improper, McAfee declined to disqualify Willis because of alleged “forensic misconduct” based on it. If defendants are allowed to mount an appeal, they could cite the damning facts McAfee found to argue that he reached the wrong legal conclusion by not disqualifying Willis. (read more)

Statement of Steve Sadow, lead defense counsel for President Trump in the Fulton County, GA case:

“President Trump and seven defendants have jointly filed a motion requesting the Court to grant a certificate of immediate review of its Order denying dismissal of the case and disqualification of Fulton County DA Willis. The motion notes that the Court found that Willis’ actions created an appearance of impropriety and an “odor of mendacity” that lingers in this case, but it nonetheless refused to dismiss the case or disqualify her. The motion further notes that the Court found Georgia case law lacks controlling precedent for the standard for disqualification of a prosecuting attorney for forensic misconduct. For these reasons among others, the Court’s Order is ripe for pretrial appellate review.” (LINK)

President Trump Warns of a Looming Bloodbath in the Auto Industry Related to Chinese EV Plants in Mexico – Media Go Bananas


Posted originally on the CTH on March 17, 2024 | Sundance

Having previously written about the issue of three major Chinese EV makers putting massive investment into production facilities, the remarks by President Trump in Ohio warning of a “bloodbath” in the auto industry are exactly accurate. {Background Context Here}

According to media, last December the three Chinese auto manufacturers, MG, BYD, and Chery, announced they were going to spend billions building new EV manufacturing plants in Mexico.  Each Chinese auto manufacturer was going to spend between $1.5 to $2.0 billion. The Chinese don’t make that much of an investment in something unless they are sure the U.S. government is going to force the EV market to exist.  These manufacturing plants would crush the U.S EV market.

Drawing attention to the issue, President Trump said he can stop the pending crisis. However, if he did not win the election the American auto industry would end up with a “bloodbath” of closed plants, lost jobs and diminished labor union workforce. Trump is not wrong.  WATCH: 

.

Showcasing the absolute lying fake news that most American media have become, all of the news agencies reported these comments to be about general “violence, retribution and retaliation” by Trump if he lost the election.   Reuters even twisted the comments to say, “Trump predicts the end of U.S. democracy if he loses 2024 election.”

Last December, when the original reports of the big three Chinese automakers were released, the headline was, “Chinese EV giants are planning factories in Mexico, and it’s alarming US officials.”  Yet somehow, drawing attention to that exact same issue three months later is the end of democracy or something.

She Dindunuffin’ – Judge Scott McAfee Gives Option: DA Fani Willis or Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade Gotta Go – But McAfee and His Wife Donated to Willis, So…


Posted originally on the CTH on March 15, 2024 | Sundance

Judge Scott McAffee and his wife previously donated to the campaign of Atlanta District Attorney Fani Willis, so the decision today doesn’t exactly come as a surprise.

Judge McAffee doesn’t want to be the white guy who removes the black district attorney. So, instead he outlined all of the malfeasance, impropriety, lack of judgement, corruption and poor conduct, then tells the DA either her office or the special prosecutor she appointed needs to be removed.  Heck, it’s almost as if McAffee is auditioning to be the next House Speaker.

SEE 23-page Ruling HERE 

But seriously, what level of judicial cowardice is needed to decline to remove the DA yet recommend a host of regulatory agencies to review and do the dirty deed, so he doesn’t have to?

Within hours special prosecutor Nathan Wade resigned, as Fani Willis swooned over their love connection.

ATLANTA – Nathan Wade, the Georgia special prosecutor hired by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to lead the election fraud case against Donald Trump, resigned just hours after a judge ruled that either he or Willis had to step down for the case to proceed.

Willis accepted Wade’s resignation in a letter released Friday afternoon and thanked the private lawyer, with whom she’d had a romantic relationship that threw the case into turmoil.

“I will always remember − and will remind everyone − that you were brave enough to step forward and take on the investigation and prosecution of the allegations that the defendants in this case engaged in a conspiracy to overturn Georgia’s 2020 Presidential Election,” Willis wrote. (read more)

MSNBC legal analyst Andrew Weissmann called for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to recuse herself from her Georgia election racketeering case focused on former President Donald Trump and a number of his allies.

Weissmann, also a professor and co-host of the Prosecuting Donald Trump podcast, defended Willis against allegations of a conflict of interest, noting Judge Scott McAfee said there was no evidence of such in his Friday ruling. McAfee ordered that either Willis or special prosecutor Nathan Wade be removed from the case. Willis was accused of engaging in an intimate relationship with Wade before he was hired onto the case, something they both denied. They admitted to a short relationship that began after he was hired.

Weissmann called the ruling by Judge McAfee “absolutely infuriating” on Friday’s Morning Joe shortly after it was released. (LINK) 

She dindunuffin!… 

Oh, and this judicial ruling can be appealed….  lolol

…And don’t forget, according to White House visitor logs, Mr. Nathan Wade visited White House lawyers prior to indictment of President Trump, while DA Willis met with staff (Mary McCord) from the January 6 Committee prior to the indictment. The scope of the political lawfare is in bright sunlight now.

The Georgia prosecutor, meeting with Biden lawyers prior to the indictment against Biden’s political opposition, is a big issue that has yet to surface in front of Judge McAfee.

Carry on!

Why Does Michigan Have More Voters than Eligible Citizens?


Posted Mar 15, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Dead vote

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has some explaining to do as it was revealed that 53 of her state’s 83 counties have more registered voters than eligible voting residents. An additional 23 counties have a “suspiciously high” voter registration rate of 90%, which is far higher than the national average. The Republican National Committee (RNC) has filed a lawsuit against Benson and is demanding answers.

The National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) holds states accountable for maintaining accurate voter information. States are responsible for removing ineligible voters in the case of death, address changes, or lawsuits, and must report accurate figures to maintain fair elections.

Voter fraud in Michigan has been a prevalent problem. “This is not the first time Michigan has failed to abide by the NVRA’s requirements. In 2020, Michigan election officials were sued in this Court for violating the NVRA. See Daunt v. Benson, Doc. 1, No. 1:20-cv-522 (W.D. Mich. June 9, 2020),” the lawsuit revealed. At the time, Michigan had one county with registration rates in excess of 100% of the voting-age population, and 15 counties with rates above 90%. The state defendants moved to dismiss the case, but this Court denied the motions.” The Secretary of State publicly canceled the registration of 177,000 voters and no one was held accountable and the situation worsened.

Another lawsuit from 2020 found that Benson failed to disqualify 26,000 voters from registering, despite the fact that they were DEAD. Now these people did not simply pass prior to the election. In one instance, as reported by the Federalist, a person who passed away in 1990 was registered to vote blue in 2020. US District Court Judge Jane Beckering of the Western District of Michigan dismissed the lawsuit, siding with Benson, claiming, “the record demonstrates that deceased voters are removed from Michigan’s voter rolls on a regular and ongoing basis.”

This is blatant voter fraud happening at the state level. Michigan attempted to remove Donald Trump from the 2024 US Presidential Election ballot but the Supreme Court rejected that decision in December 2023. The establishment does not plan to fight a fair battle this November and plots are already in place to alter the election, removing our fundamental right to vote for our elected officials.

I suspect the same issue would apply when, hopefully when, the RNC investigates other states with suspiciously high voter registration rates.

TikTok Ban – WAR on Free Speech


Posted Mar 15, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Congress cannot agree on anything other than dismantling the First Amendment. There is no greater threat to the establishment than the uncensored sharing of ideas. This week, 353 members of Congress voted to ban TikTok to “protect our data.” Unlike any major issue facing the country, it took Congress a mere eight days to implement this ban, with an astounding 81% in favor of removing the platform.

As Robert F. Kennedy Jr. accurately states, NATIONAL SECURITY is the ruse they use every single time when the government permanently removes one of our freedoms and usurps more power. They never give us back the freedoms we relinquish. Kennedy quoted his father’s favorite author, Albert Camus, “The welfare of the people is always the alibi of tyrants, and it provides the further advantage of giving the servants of tyranny a clear conscience.”

Tyranny.AlbertCamus

Hippocrit Joe Biden himself recently signed up for the TikTok platform but received minimal following due to his waning support with Gen Z and Millennials. “It’s the digital public square,” Kennedy explained, as people have gravitated toward the platform in recent years as it was one of the last frontiers of free speech.

There is absolutely no reason that Congress cannot address security concerns on the backend. I can assure you that the majority of voting members have NEVER utilized the platform and likely cannot attach a PDF to an email. They all agreed to ban free speech and did not need any additional information. Remember the last TikTok Congressional hearing? The questions were completely asinine and showed that the voting members had no understanding of the platform.

Small businesses have been using TikTok to grow their companies. De-platformed individuals have used it as a way to share their ideas, mere ideas, as thoughts alone threaten government. Politicians like RFK have been using TikTok to speak out against the establishment as the mainstream news refuses to cover the majority of what he and others have to say, as their donors would never allow it. There are restrictions in place on the app for material that does actually present a danger to the public, but Congress refused to look into the matter.

A local Christian radio station constantly runs ads saying that they need private donations to avoid large advertisers who will control what they can and cannot air. That is yet another reason why I offer this complimentary blog, free of advertisements or third-party interference. I have turned down countless offers over the years because I will not risk my voice, and I am not motivated by money.

I commend Kennedy for always making clear arguments without bashing his political opponents. This man deserves more coverage than he receives, and he does have quite a large following on social media platforms such as TikTok, where he is permitted to speak freely. RFK is honest and does not play partisan political games.

First_Amendment

The First Amendment should not be prohibited for ANY reason. How many times has major American-owned corporations leaked your data in recent years? Every month there seems to be a new leak from a major corporation followed by a class action lawsuit where the victims are paid a few dollars and perhaps receive free credit monitoring. The people should own their data NOT the government.

When has 81% of our Congress agreed on anything? They see the people speaking to one another and collaborating without government intervention. Our elected officials have not made progress on any measure in years and routinely shutdown because they simply cannot have bipartisan debates. The Senate couldn’t even pass a measure as neutral as the Daylight’s Savings bill for crying out loud. These leeches on society sit in office until the day they die, receiving a hefty salary paid for by the American people which is a mere fraction of what they receive from insider trading and lobbyists who influence the policies they implement on the entire nation.

Government tyranny is rising because they see that they are losing control of the narrative. The First Amendment and our ability to freely communicate with one another is swiftly vanishing.

We are looking at options outside the Socrates private blog to avoid these tyrannical censorship bills and will likely make an announcing in the coming weeks.

Judge Scott McAfee Confirms Ruling on Fani Willis Removal Will Be Released Tomorrow, Friday


Posted originally on the CTH on March 14, 2024 | Sundance 

Speaking to local media, Judge Scott McAfee confirmed the decision to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will be released tomorrow.  SEE VIDEO:

District Attorney Fani Willis and Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade had a long-term romantic relationship.  They were caught lying about it in court testimony.

Additionally, according to White House visitor logs, Mr. Nathan Wade visited White House lawyers prior to indictment of President Trump, while DA Willis met with staff (Mary McCord) from the January 6 Committee prior to the indictment. The scope of the political lawfare is in bright sunlight now.

The Georgia prosecutor, meeting with Biden lawyers prior to the indictment against Biden’s political opposition, is a big issue that has yet to surface in front of Judge McAfee.  The legal ramifications of DA Fani Willis being discharged from the case for conflicts of interest and lying to the court are still unknown.
