DC Judge Chutkan Reinstitutes Gag Order Citing Lawfare Complaint of Trump Statements Against Mark Meadows


Posted originally on the CTH on October 30, 2023 | Sundance 

For the sake of this argument, if you wanted to align with Judge Chutkan on the need for a gag order, you would first need to clarify if Mark Meadows was a witness for the Jack Smith prosecution.  Absent an actual witness list, the remarks by President Trump have to be stretched to encompass potential witnesses or foreseeable witnesses.  That’s what Judge Chutkan decided.  Anyone who might be a witness is protected by the gag order forbidding President Trump from talking about them.

Jack Smith baited President Trump by leaking a story to ABC News saying Mark Meadows warned President Trump that Biden’s 2020 election win was legitimate.  It never happened, but the leak and story were bait to get President Trump to respond – thereby creating the dynamic that would lead to the gag order.   The Lawfare worked.

I do not fault President Trump for responding to the ABC News article, he should have every right to speak about false assertions against him.  In reality, Jack Smith knew Judge Chutkan wanted to reaffirm the gag order, so he just provided her the legal tool to do it.  When dealing with corruption, that’s how Lawfare operates.

WASHINGTON DC – […] Chutkan reiterated that her decision to issue the original gag order earlier this month was rooted in evidence that Trump’s public attacks on witnesses, prosecutors and court personnel have routinely resulted in threats and harassment jeopardizing their safety and her duty to protect the “orderly administration of justice.” In such cases, she said, the Supreme Court and other legal precedents and rules have supported gag orders as a tool to protect the public’s interest in a fair trial.

[…] Chutkan noted that despite the clear problems with the Meadows statement, she would not act on it because the order had not been in effect. She noted that for any potential violations in the future, she would not reach any conclusions before giving both Trump and prosecutors a chance to “provide their positions on the statement’s meaning and permissibility.” (read more)

Nikki Haley Takes Lead in Non-Trump Lane, DeSantis Continues Shrinking


Posted originally on the October 30, 2023 | Sundance

No candidate has spent more time in Iowa and visited more locations than Ron DeSantis. Simultaneously, as the people of Iowa get to know him, his support drops. You might remember me pointing out this predictable dynamic last year.

The more people spend time with DeSantis, the less they like him.   That leaves an opening for Nikki Haley, and she has capitalized.

Now, Nikki is just as unlikeable as Ron, perhaps even more so; however, the people around Nikki know she is horrible, and they manage her to hide it. If they keep Nikki Haley out of the public eye, she will quickly pass Ron DeSantis everywhere.  Watch, this is what they will do.

[ SOURCE ]

Nikki Haley has now passed up Ron DeSantis in the first-loser race within Iowa.   Donald Trump is crushing the field, but for the non-Trump lane, Haley has just surpassed DeSantis.   Haley is also beating DeSantis in New Hampshire and South Carolina in the race to be the first-loser.

IOWA – […] In addition to leading overall, Trump performs better than his opponents across nearly every demographic the poll tested, including among first-time caucusgoers.   Trump has maintained his lead there, with 49% of first-time caucusgoers saying he is their first choice. DeSantis is at 15%, and Haley is at 14%.  (read more)

It’s Just Our Turn


Armstrong Economics Blog/Geopolitical Re-Posted Oct 28, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

This is not my only source about terrorist cells moving into the USA because Biden has opened the borders. The open border has had two objectives. Democrats in Texas are already pushing that illegal aliens should be allowed to vote. They are being joined nationally and Biden will do an executive order to allow them to vote pre-2024  if we even get to an election.

The Democrats see this as changing America to wipe out the Republican opponents. The LEFT has determined to end freedom and democracy just like Zelinsky – it will be their way or no way! I have been to Texas recently, where people are concerned about the flood of illegal aliens.

However, they have DELIBERATELY allowed terrorist cells to enter so they can justify more restraints upon our freedom to even move. Welcome to the decline and fall of the United States. Don’t get upset. Communism fell in 1989. It’s just our turn since there are 34 years to this cycle.

It looks like the manhunt for the Maine mass shooter Robert Card is over.

Apparently, his body was found near Lisbon where he abandoned his vehicle.  A self-inflicted gunshot to the head.

(Daily Mail) – Maine mass shooter Robert Card has been found dead in the woods with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head, multiple sources told CNN.

Card, 40, was found near Lisbon, where his car was abandoned shortly after Wednesday’s massacre.

Eighteen people died when Card, an army reservist who had suffered a recent mental breakdown, opened fire at a bowling alley and bar in Lewiston.

Card went on the run, sparking a 48-hour manhunt. (link)

Why Are Death and Disability Rising Among Young Americans? | Opinion


Posted Originally on Oct 26, 2023 at 6:00 AM

FLCCC’s Dr. Pierre Kory and co-author Mary Beth Pfeiffer have an op-ed in Newsweek magazine this week, after penning an article in USA Today in August. 

The new opinion piece highlights the alarming increase in the number of American adults unable to work — up to 3.5 million since January 2020 and a staggering 1.5 million just this year alone.

To date, there is no government-funded research into or explanation for this rise — Dr. Kory and Ms. Pfeiffer call for an unbiased, nonpartisan investigation into the trend, and a deeper analysis of COVID vaccine-related injuries and deaths.

While Newsweek’s opinion section has opened up to diverse perspectives and encouraged debate, there has been no appetite for this line of inquiry about COVID vaccines – until now. Creatively crafted to not overtly state the (glaringly obvious) cause, but offering up key suggestions, this article has the ability to reach an even wider audience and not only start the conversation, but hopefully the investigation as well. As a result, the messages so critical to FLCCC will extend further and can spur action.

“FLCCC is dedicated to driving awareness of these grave health concerns across the political media divide,” said Dr. Kory. “We are blazing a trail with new audiences who are not seeing this information anywhere else.”

Our summer op-ed in USA Today had a readership reach of 2.6 million. With this recent placement in Newsweek (1.1 million daily readers), we are demonstrating that FLCCC is uniquely positioned to shine a light on the destructive impact of COVID vaccines. Indeed, as a data-driven medical organization with treatment guidelines for COVID, long COVID, and vaccine injury, we are distinctly qualified to highlight this vital issue, bring it into the public conversation, and onto the U.S. political agenda as the presidential election heats up.  

Please share this article with your network and consider making a donation to help us expose the devastating reality behind mass COVID vaccinations. With your support, we can advocate for change and encourage policymakers to pursue the investigations needed to inform and protect the American public.

On behalf of the health of all, we thank you.

Ken Paxton Asks Court for Restraining Order to Stop Biden Administration from Cutting Down Border Barriers and Barbed Wire


Posted originally on the CTH on October 27, 2023 | Sundance |

Earlier today Mike Lee sent this little bit of raw data from the border, “In the last 4 weeks alone (since the beginning of FY2024), the Border Patrol in the Rio Grande Sector has apprehended 5 illegal immigrants from Afghanistan, 19 from Syria, and 75 from China. It’s not a stretch—in fact, it’s putting it mildly—to say “they might not mean us well.” {link}  It is very concerning to think about who is walking into our country.

Earlier today, Texas AG Ken Paxton also asked the court for a restraining order against Joe Biden’s administration who are taking down border barriers and cutting through barbed wire in order to increase the flow of illegal aliens. [Court Filing Here] AG Paxton wants the court to stop Biden from opening the border.

TEXAS – Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a motion for a temporary restraining order on an emergency basis after federal agents escalated their destruction of Texas’s barrier at the State’s border with Mexico. The federal government’s renewed effort to destroy Texas’s barrier and assist aliens’ entry into the country follows just days after Texas filed a lawsuit against the Biden Administration’s Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”), DHS Secretary Mayorkas, and other agencies for numerous documented incidents of barrier destruction and occasions on which federal agents facilitated aliens’ mass entry during a severe immigration surge in recent months. 

Texas is seeking an order that would enjoin federal agents from cutting, destroying, damaging, or otherwise interfering with Texas’s concertina wire fence. (link

Sometimes I just sit and shake my head.  Why these guys keep appearing with Sean Hannity is beyond my understanding.  That said, the platform and host is the first warning sign, the content of the interview is another.

Speaker Mike Johnson, who is a significant upgrade from Speaker Kevin McCarthy, sits down for an extensive discussion on current political events where Sean Hannity can tell Johnson his role and responsibility as Speaker. WATCH:

RNC Selects Lester Holt, Kristen Welker and Hugh Hewitt as Moderators for NBC’s First-Loser Debate in Miami


Posted originally on the CTH on October 26, 2023 | Sundance

The 2024 GOP primary debate series is a clown show of knuckleheads following the marching orders of the billionaire donors who fund them.  The RNC is the vessel for the illusion of choice game, orchestrated by the same donors.  Watching the remaining candidates try and qualify to be the first loser is, well, pathetic really.

Into this game of nonsense, the RNC delivers the next round of pretentious moderators for the RNC debate in Miami.  I mean, if you are hosting a Republican debate, one might think the RNC would want Republicans as moderators.  Then again, in the era of the professional Uniparty, there’s not much difference.  Condescending pontificating pustule of pomposity, Hugh Hewitt, will rest atop his familiar high horse.  You couldn’t pay me to watch this one.

WASHINGTON – NBC’s Lester Holt and Kristen Welker are set to moderate the third Republican primary debate alongside morning talk show host Hugh Hewitt, NBC announced on Wednesday.

The three will take the stage at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami on Nov. 8, as the remaining GOP presidential hopefuls — those who can qualify — push to break away from the pack in the polls.

So far, five candidates have hit the Republican National Committee’s increasingly stringent requirements to make it onto the debate stage. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie have all qualified, as has the current frontrunner, former President Donald Trump — who is set to again skip the debate in favor of his own rally in nearby Hialeah, Fla.

Former Vice President Mike Pence, meanwhile, has met the polling requirements but still needs to hit the 70,000-donor mark. Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) has yet to hit either threshold, according to POLITCO’s analysis, though his campaign has claimed he has met the polling requirements. (read more)

Senator Chuck Grassley Outlines Details of FBI HQ Running National Coverup Operation to Protect Biden Family from Investigation


Posted originally on the CTH on October 26, 2023 | Sundance 

A few thoughts about the letter itself before getting to the substance.  {pdf link Here}

First, as you are likely aware, the Senators and Committee heads/ranking members do little of the investigative effort themselves. This is where the value of exceptional staff comes into play, along with the background battle between a small group of congressional aides and assistants -vs- an army of Lawfare operatives. The battle to reveal truth takes place deep in the trenches of hidden government, and the only weapon on the side of the righteous is the ultimate weapon – the truth.

Second, again with a familiar approach, this letter is not penned to the recipient FBI Director Christopher Wray, in as much as it is an alarm sounded by Senator Grassley’s office to the larger American audience.  This is essentially Grassley saying to We The People, here’s the evidence of how inherently corrupt and politicized the FBI has become. The motive appears to be providing damaging information the media will avoid mentioning, discussing or outlining.

DC FBI Building, left – Main Justice DOJ Building, right. 

In summary of the 7-page letter, it describes a national effort by the FBI to cover up the activity of Hunter and Joe Biden’s illicit financial dealings.  Because the Biden family essentially operated a network of financial schemes that touched on multiple areas and interests, the activity itself was tracked by the FBI through a series of several dozen Confidential Human Sources (CHS’s) and informants in multiple jurisdictions throughout the U.S.

Because the various field offices and CHS/Informant networks were diverse and widespread, the DC FBI needed a control mechanism that would throw a bag over all the activity coast to coast.  The mechanism they chose was the familiar “Foreign Influence Disinformation” designation.  The FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force was the DC organization -an institutional tool per se’- used to block, impede and eliminate sunlight upon the information that was surfacing from multiple investigations of the Biden family.

Grassley walks through examples of how the central HQ of the FBI deployed the label of “disinformation” in order to get various field offices to discredit their own investigative tools, CHS’s and informants.   The way it worked would be central FBI command would label an investigative lead as “disinformation”, and that would throw a bag over the field office outcome.  The CHS’s and informants were then undermined, discredited and cut loose from the record keeping of the FBI.

Essentially, labeling the findings as foreign disinformation was the protective shield to remove the evidence of the Biden family activity.  This was done from Washington DC through the main FBI headquarters.  The downstream field offices were then shut down by administrative labeling, and the issues they uncovered were eliminated.   This is a familiar process to those who have followed the deep weeds of how the FBI operates.

The importance of the Grassley letter goes beyond Joe and Hunter Biden; it cuts to the heart of a system of corruption within the FBI that many Americans became familiar with in the aftermath of the FBI activity against Donald Trump in the Russiagate storyline.  The FBI is metastatically corrupt, with the origin of the cancer in Washington DC, and the efforts of the Foreign Influence Task Force becoming the method to spread the corrupt infection nationally.

The Grassley letter originates from information provided by whistleblowers inside the FBI who were subjected to having their investigations nulled by Washington DC.  Apparently, some of those who had time, effort and investigative resources dedicated to the honest investigation of the Biden family scheme, did not like seeing their investigations shut down simply because Christopher Wray and other politically active leaders in the DC command center of the FBI did not want the Biden family exposed.

This pattern of activity, the institutional preservation issue, is exactly what was noted in the previous Trump-Russia targeting effort.  Former AG Bill Barr and all of the officers and investigative officials therein, were also in alignment with this institutional preservation approach.  The FBI throwing a bag over the Biden corruption schemes, is yet another example of a decision to preserve a corrupt system rather than allowing the American public to see it, thereby running the risk of collapse.

I would strongly urge everyone to take the time to read the 7-page outline provided by Senator Grassley’s office, along with the investigative staff and resources of Senator Ron Johnson.  While they are unnamed, I am certain that I have personally met some of the people who put this outline together.

[Read Full 7-Page Report]

[…] “It is unclear how many confidential human sources, or how many of their reports, were categorized as disinformation by the Foreign Influence Task Force, but the whistleblower told Grassley that the FBI’s improper branding of the information as “disinformation” “caused investigative activity to cease.”

Margot Cleveland, Federalist 

Beyond the details, granular information, citations and evidence, what becomes crystal clear is that every root and branch of the FBI is now politically corrupt.  It is an institution now more akin to the Russian FSB than it is to a USA national investigative agency.   It simply cannot be reformed.

The U.S. Dept of Justice and FBI are now 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 corrupt DC politicians – specifically the interests of Democrats.  Grassley is giving specifics to what has been visible for years.

This is why and how the Fourth Branch of U.S. Government is now the superseding apparatus above all other branches.  {GO DEEP} This is why and how Barack Obama, John Brennan and Eric Holder created it, cemented it, and made it impervious to any effort to remove it.

The Fourth Branch of Government is evil Sauron, and Washington DC is Mordor. The corrupt media have aligned with it; they are preserving it; and the institutions in/around the DC system are self-aware, acting to support it and fully autonomous.

Additionally, to overlay their ability to monitor every single aspect of every life that might seek to challenge or destroy it, the end game of surveillance outlined by Edward Snowden is active.

Crime in US is an Internal Operation


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Oct 26, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

El Salvador was the murder capital of the world not long ago. The country has gone over 300 days without a homicide after El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele implemented a zero-tolerance policy for gang  violence. The nation rounded up over 50,000 suspected gang members, also referred to as terrorists, and the rest likely fled to the US since the border is non-existent. Since the system has been very efficient, videos of Bukele criticizing US politicians for allowing crime to escalate across America are beginning to recirculate.

The demise of America has to come from within,” Bukele told Tucker Carlson. “The enemies have to be inside. No external enemy can cause so much damage as internal. It is an internal operation. You’re watching an internal operation here. You can see them and see these cities that were pristinely beautiful 30 years ago are wastelands now,” he stated. He went on to say that he admits he is from a third-world country but would feel unsafe in any US city due to violent crime.

Now Bukele was harshly criticized for rounding up the criminals but it worked. Crime is on the rise in America but our policies are continually favoring the criminals. “When you look how the cities are eroding so fast, this has to be by design. I mean who would make so many stupid decisions?” Bukele asked Carlson. “They’re literally giving some people drugs in some us cities, or they say we’re going to give you money if you don’t work. They make all these laws that make no sense. If they have high crime, they say okay I have a solution, let’s defund the police.”

I continually point to the Cloward-Piven Strategy of creating civil unrest. Look at what the Open Society Foundation promoted during the last election. They funded protests in all major US cities, violent protests where people were murdered and small business were burned to the ground. They funded the media to report on how the criminals were misunderstood and the police needed to be defunded. Some ask whether people have simply lost their minds after COVID. Perhaps, but the real reason the US is spiraling down internally is INTENTIONAL. Burn it down to BUILD BACK BETTER.
