Nancy Pelosi Leads Charge For Trump Impeachment, Can’t Have The Worry About That Pesky Rebellion Resurfacing


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on January 7, 2021 by Sundance

We have the reality of around 100 million real MAGA army members staring toward a leftist opposition front containing battalions of cardboard cutouts (mail-in ballots). No amount of media marginalization is ever going to change the reality of that political landscape. That’s why they are trying so hard.  Cue Nancy Pelosi:

(Politico) – Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday called for Vice President Mike Pence to immediately initiate the removal of President Donald Trump, declaring him a seditious threat to the country who can’t be trusted to finish even the last two weeks of his term.

Pelosi’s extraordinary statement … lends significant weight to a mounting Democratic effort to oust Trump, either by impeaching him for the second time or pressuring Pence and Cabinet officials to invoke the 25th Amendment process. (read more)

For an incoming administration presenting themselves publicly so confident of their electoral victory, they sure are trying hard to eliminate the voices of dissent.  It’s as if the opposition realizes their scheme resulted in minority rule needing to control the masses.

I digress…

I wrote what follows five years ago and was reminded about it today:

The UniParty

2016 – There is only one political enterprise occupying our nations capitol. Many people call that enterprise “the UniParty“. Succinct in both description and accuracy, the UniParty members live very well within a fortified and defended castle we call DC.

Within the UniParty there are factions, each with their own flag. One flag represented by a Donkey, the other represented by an elephant. Life inside the DC castle is very good, there are infinite indulgences – both factions enjoy it very much.

There’s not much difference between the two factions when they are inside the castle, and any visitor will attest to it being impossible to determine who’s on whose side.

However, when they travel outside the castle they must keep up appearances and seem entirely different from each-other.

They wear different colors when outside the walls, to make sure there’s an distinct optic presented for those who don’t live in the castle. It’s a rather unusual game to follow.

campaign cartoon

From time to time the colors flying at the top of the castle changes.

A few seasons of a blue-flagged donkey, a few seasons of a red-flagged elephant – each taking time serving as the pinnacle flag.

However, the behavior inside does not change much. Other than a few executive suites necessarily shifting depending on the flag, not much changes.

It’s the same opulent dinner served every night in the grand dining hall regardless of who’s flag sits atop the spire. All those who live within the castle live a very comfortable life.

In the land due North of the castle live the clans of the progressive folk. In the land due South of the castle live the clans of the conservative folk. The Northern Clans led by the Donkey flag bearers. The Southern Clans are led by the Elephant flag bearers. The castle is, by historic design, in the mid-region.

Almost no-one who lives a long indulgent life inside the castle ever wants to leave it. It becomes home, their place of comfort and security. Few even remember what it’s like in the Northern or Southern lands where the clan folk live. Every occupant has a litany of hand-maidens, aides and servants; and like the indulgences, they increase with tenure.

From time to time a rebellion may rise from either the Northern or Southern clan folk. Restlessness depending upon the season, the harvest and the level of the indulgency fees which are required to be delivered to the castle.

According to the elder clan-folk it has always been thus…. Sometimes the rebellion leads to a changing of the colors atop the spire, other times it doesn’t.

Life inside the castle is good. Those who manage the day-to-day indulgences give away more than would normally be afforded to anyone living outside their authority and protection.

New scribes are kept in line by showing them the dungeon during the occasional orientation, and contrasting the dreary confines against the opulent life of those who go along. Velvet pillows or a canvas cot, the decision is immediately yours – most choose comfy. And so the circular lifestyle continues inside the castle.

Meetings to choose between Tuna or Swordfish are commonplace; other more divisive matters are intentionally overlooked. The last treasurer or keeper of the coin was killed so long ago their name is all but a distant memory. It is far easier to ignore the treasury and act as if all indulgences are infinite; and so they do.

However, a story is now rumored inside the castle of a Northerner who became wise to the castle life, and who broke custom by traveling to the Southern clan. According to those who hold some knowledge, he is mounting a rebellion against the entire enterprise itself.

Apparently he is being quite successful in his efforts.

The castle leadership initially dismissed the rumor as chatter amid the walls; they have heard such nonsense before; nothing ever came of such absurdity.

But this time it seems different, quite real according to dispatch. Quite, well, possible.

Contingencies are prepared; and as incredulous as it sounds – there’s a considerable argument, not about who is in charge, but rather who wants their flag of ownership atop the castle when/if he actually arrives to inventory the assets.

Castle leadership are considering things never considered before, in multiple ways the people have never heard discussed. In all recent years these council meetings were so informal and indulgent everyone thought this was the historic manner of business.

Now, at least according to those who hear the closed-door whispering, there were times of far lesser opulence, and far lower indulgence.

A discussion amid castle management is taking place which is unnerving to those who have known no other lifestyle. And, well, at least according to the chatter by those closest to the leadership, no-one wants to be in charge any more.

This is all very odd, and very curious.

We have the reality of around 100 million real MAGA army members staring toward a leftist opposition front containing battalions of cardboard cutouts (mail-in ballots).

No amount of media marginalization is ever going to change the reality of that political landscape.

That, my friends, is why they are trying so hard.

Remarkable Duplicity – Former AG Bill Barr Attacks President Trump For Questioning Same Ballot Fraud Barr Previously Outlined


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on January 7, 2021 by Sundance

The duplicity of former AG Bill Barr’s position is stunning.  It should be remembered that Bill Barr previously stated that President Trump was targeted by the weaponization of the intelligence apparatus, including the DOJ and FBI, as “spying on the administration.”

Additionally, in September the same AG Barr noted that mail-in ballots was “absolutely opening the floodgates to election fraud.”

However, as soon a President Trump remarks on the same two key issues; and now that he is out of office; the former AG states: “The President’s conduct yesterday was a betrayal of his office and supporters.

WASHINGTON DC – Former Attorney General William Barr accused President Donald Trump on Thursday of a “betrayal of his office” — the latest rebuke of the president by a former high-ranking administration official after pro-Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol.

“Orchestrating a mob to pressure Congress is inexcusable,” Barr said in a statement obtained by POLITICO. “The President’s conduct yesterday was a betrayal of his office and supporters.” (read more)

A little inside baseball…

After visiting with several former members of federal law enforcement this past summer CTH was warned never to trust the words of any voices inside Main Justice and the FBI.

Specifically CTH was warned never to engage with those two institutions in Washington DC because there was widespread belief the institutions themselves were no longer repairable.

Later, during one specific lengthy conversation with a person close to the issues at hand, who was also a staunch defender of AG Bill Barr, the topic of the political manipulation of the DOJ and FBI became the focus of discussion.

During that conversation the Barr defender was adamant about Barr’s motive being genuine and honorable.  However, when CTH posed the paramount question: “if AG Barr is more substantively intended to preserve the institutions of the DOJ and FBI, then how can you be so certain corruption will be addressed?”  The silence was deafening.

Against everything that came to pass since February 14, 2019, that is the essential element many have missed about AG Barr taking the role of U.S. Attorney General.

How can any AG expose the known institutional corruption, and yet retain the credibility within the institutions as they are exposed?   The two dynamics are mutually exclusive.  Either you expose the gross system, or your protect it, there is no third option.

During his tenure AG Bill Barr spoke out of both sides of his mouth.  He outlined the abuses of authority within the DOJ/FBI in the targeting of President Trump; and he spoke about the corrupt intent likely behind mail-in ballots in the 2020 election.  However, his actions did nothing to address either issue.  Actions speak louder than words.

Yes, it is true that any corrupt activity that would be exposed would have initially weakened the DOJ and/or FBI, and easily provided ammunition to any defense attorney in courtroom proceedings against those officers; but the corrupt activity exists regardless of whether it is admitted publicly or not.

President Trump has said nothing about the 2020 election outcome that AG Bill Barr did not himself warn about prior to the election.  However, now that President Trump notes the actual results… all of a sudden AG Bill Barr stands in opposition to those same positions and opinions he held only a few months ago.  The duplicity is stunning.

As the motives and intentions of the professional DC establishment gain clarity from the sunlight represented by outsider Donald Trump, we are now watching exposure upon an assembly of administration officials who previously hid those motives.  There is no putting that genie back in the bottle….

…. Thus the next phase in their aggregate goal; a feeble attempt to retain institutional credibility on behalf of a corrupt system; is to shut down -and marginalize- the voices of those bringing attention to the scale of usurpation.  Sam Adams was prescient:

…”A true patriot would keep the attention of his fellow citizens awake to their grievances, and not allow them to rest till the causes of their just complaints are removed.”…

Transparent Timing, Intelligence Community Assessment on Foreign Interference in 2020 Election Submitted to Congress Hours After Electoral Certification


Posted Originally on The Conservative tree House on January 7, 2021 by Sundance

Good grief… Could the purposeful timing of those intent on preserving corrupt intelligence and U.S. government institutions be any more transparent?

As CTH noted weeks ago, the DNI report on foreign involvement in 2020 election interference could structurally have established the framework for election challenges on the basis of the guarantee clause of the constitution.   However, in order for that to be effective it would be needed prior to the congressional certification of the electors.

Today, literally hours after congress votes to certify the election results, that very same DNI report is now delivered to congress.

Buried inside an article noting that politically motivated intelligence officers intentionally withheld information about China’s active involvement in the 2020 election, we find this sentence:

“The intelligence community’s classified assessment on foreign influence in the 2020 election … was also submitted to Congress on Thursday.”  (link)

WASHINGTON DC – Politicization problems exist in U.S. spy agency assessments on foreign influence in the 2020 U.S. election, including analysts who appeared to hold back information on Chinese meddling efforts because they disagreed with the Trump administration’s policies, according to an intelligence community inspector.

Barry Zulauf, an analytic ombudsman and longtime intelligence official, issued a 14-page report obtained by the Washington Examiner to the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday, revealing his investigation was “conducted in response to IC complaints regarding the election threat issue.” In addition, he lamented the “polarized atmosphere has threatened to undermine the foundations of our Republic, penetrating even into the Intelligence Community.”

The intelligence community’s classified assessment on foreign influence in the 2020 election, which will not focus on claims of mail-in fraud or unfounded allegations of voting machines flipping millions of votes, was also submitted to Congress on Thursday.

Expected in December, the assessment was delayed as senior intelligence officials clashed over the role played by China, and as director of national intelligence, John Ratcliffe sought to include more viewpoints in the final analysis.

“Given analytic differences in the way Russia and China analysts examined their targets, China analysts appeared hesitant to assess Chinese actions as undue influence or interference.

The analysts appeared reluctant to have their analysis on China brought forward because they tend to disagree with the administration’s policies, saying in effect, I don’t want our intelligence used to support those policies,” Zulauf concluded, saying this behavior violated analytic standards requiring independence from political considerations.

Facebook and Big Tech Ban President Donald Trump, Classic Alinsky Methods Deployed


Posted originally on The Conservative tree House on January 7, 2021 by Sundance

The Saul Alinsky playbook “Rules for Radicals”, the roadmap to target political opposition, has been the primary strategic tool in the arsenal of Obama-era operatives for the past several decades.  One of the key strategies outlined is “freezing your opposition” and contains three elements: Isolate, Ridicule, Marginalize.

In the modern era these same strategies were applied over social media through the control mechanisms of Big Tech platforms. Today, that crew made their biggest move to date.  Facebook Announcement:

It is important to remember, while the target in this instance is Donald J Trump, the United States President, this ‘weaponized-for-politics‘ approach has been taken several times before by these same technology and communication operatives.

[SIDE NOTE: Factually, the first deployment of Facebook and Twitter for these political intents was in Egypt and the mid-east during the “Arab Spring”]

The goal of social media deployment in this way is fundamentally unchanged from the old school use of the Alinsky playbook before the era of social media.  Targeting political opposition using the three prongs of “Isolation-Marginalization-Ridicule” is the same use of the same strategy using modern technology.

No doubt there was a general strategy amid the political-left to drive a wedge in the MAGA coalition and stimulate a “violent extremist” narrative about the assembly yesterday in Washington DC.  Their unified approach was somewhat predictable as the Trump coalition is a serious threat to both wings of the political UniParty (Big Club) alliance.

President Trump and the 80+ million American Trump supporters, nationalists and populists, are a risk to those who use politics as a control mechanism; the same risk carried by the Yellow-vested populists in France and Europe.

The elite class of one-world globalists view these political nationalists (ie. America-First) as a threat to the larger objectives of control.  Thus we see these same Alinsky strategies deployed everywhere around the globe with various nuances specific to the region.

After the events in Washington DC yesterday we received several contacts noting the first shot at a well coordinated and pre-planned operation was likely the deplatforming of CTH because of our known skillset of connecting historic dots to the current events.   Indeed CTH has been warning about the looming deployment of these familiar strategies against Donald Trump both before and after the election.

The goal is to destroy populism; attack the MAGA movement, the actual threat to the system, by making anything related to Donald Trump controversial.  This is the exact same approach used against other figures -who also represented a threat- with significant success; see: Sarah Palin.

Over the last several years, we have allowed President Trump to use our platform consistent with our own rules, at times removing content or labeling his posts when they violate our policies.

We did this because we believe that the public has a right to the broadest possible access to political speech, even controversial speech. But the current context is now fundamentally different, involving use of our platform to incite violent insurrection against a democratically elected government. (Facebook)

Corporate Media and Big Tech, the foot-soldiers for the larger globalist movement, need to paint President Trump supporters as extremists, domestic terrorists, racists, etc in order to justify their approach to shut down voices in opposition to their masters, The Big Club.

This approach shuts down communication lines from the leadership and gives justification for the weak supporting elements within the network (ie republican politicians) to not fight against the real enemy.  The goal is always to make the target controversial.

[Other references (narrative assemblies) to create controversial isolation include Charlottesville (racism), and even the original narrative of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic in the spring of 2020 (heartless, uncaring etc).]

The key is to understand what we are seeing today is a strategy.  This is a part of a specific strategy that is repeated whenever any voice rises to prominence that is defined as a threat to the system of larger control, The Big Club.

You defeat these strategies by inoculating yourself against their effort, and understanding the reality they are trying to create is a false illusion.  It is not real.  Additionally, it becomes even more important to remember you are not alone; your thoughts, beliefs and perspectives on liberty and freedom are held by the majority.

There are, quite simply, more of us than them; however, they control the communication networks and platform.  We anticipated this.  We have been forced to deal with this and plan for this.  That is why CTH 2.0 is so heavily focused on keeping our assembly together using an anti-fragile framework.  Every battle is connected to the same war.

Facebook, Twitter and other technology groups will enlist a larger growing chorus of corporate and financial entities to assist the objective.

This is only the beginning.

DRAIN THE DEEP STATE SWAMP

Kelly Loeffler lost a very close Senate race in Georgia.  Even though the voting in that state was likely corrupted due to the Dominion voting machines, she gave up. Now she’s given up on the electoral vote protest. Here is her statement,

“The events that have transpired today have forced me to reconsider and I cannot now in good conscience object to the certification of these electors.”

Loeffler typifies other Senators, including Steve Daines in my home state of Montana. He too was offended by the protest at our nation’s capitol, so now he too will no longer object to the presidential race being blatantly stolen. He will never get my vote again. 

This was the Swamp’s plan all along. Make access to the capitol building as easy as pie. Sprinkle in some of their violent Antifa members to stir up trouble. Then blame it all on President Trump, thus defusing any real objection to the electoral count.

Traitors Pence, McConnell, and Romney must be delighted.

At the very least, Trump supporters got their chance to voice concern over a stolen election—one Trump won by a landslide. What happened on Wednesday can’t be ignored and we aren’t going away.

Pence to invoke 25th Amendment?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Jan 7, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The coup is complete. They have defeated their enemy – Trump. They now occupy the Hill. They will now become the ultimate enemy of the people. Pence is now under pressure to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump by tomorrow as President. There is a push to do this tomorrow, claiming urgency. Many people are resigning now rather than just waiting for the 20th. The word is out to invoke the 25th Amendment and then this alone would prevent him from running again which is their real concern. Additionally, claims he would invoke Martial law are really absurd. The military will not follow Trump at this stage. It is over. This was in the works for some time and it is the result of the Supreme Court refusing to take any case. All others will now be dismissed as moot.

The Fight of the Suburbs v the Cities


Armstrong Economics Blog/Uncategorized Re-Posted Jan 7, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

We can see from the map of the elections in Georgia, we are still facing this flight from the cities to the point it is becoming blatant suburbs against the urban cities. This is a picture of what the vote seems to be on a much grander national level. We have a serious economic shift taking place and there are fools in Washington who think they can just plow through the rights of the people just to retain power.

The Future From Here


Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics Re-Posted Jan 7, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The word from DC is that they will do their best now to prevent Trump from ever running again and they will look to try to bring some criminal charge against him to disqualify him. Twitter has blocked his account and he has acknowledged he will leave the office. Pence, as expected, defended the swamp as did the courts by refusing to ever allow any evidence of fraud to be reviewed. That was in itself a confirmation that there was significant fraud or they would have heard the case and then declare it was frivolous. (see the latest evidence)

The sad part about this is the lack of mirrors in Washington.  I have warned that the Republicans may split because they failed to understand this what they see as “Trumpism” existed long before Trump. He was just at the right place at the right time. Pence was a former member of Congress and there was no way anyone on the Hill would stab the Congress in the back. The Republicans think this will now be back to normal and they will also surrender the rights of the people as long as their personal pockets are filled. What we have watched was not the end of Trump, but the end of the Republic and this anti-swamp will now only grow as people begin to see the agenda that they had no idea was being decided in this election.

In a very strange way, these events have shown that Socrates was right. This week was the major event not the inauguration on the 20th. The politicians see this as the defeat of Trump and have ignored the fact that 80 million people voted for Trump and they can claim the fraud claims are baseless while refusing to answer anything. They have displayed to the entire world that there is no Due Process of Law – they pronounced Trump guilty and refused to allow a trial. This was a serious mistake for the question should have been decided and then the civil unrest would have been settled. Refusing to allow any court to review the claims and dismissing everything on procedure has doomed the country to the festering image of corruption which will inevitably lead to revolution. In that respect, they have just confirmed the forecast of Socrates and the West will yield to Asia post 2032.

Now we get back to markets at least until the rest of this political chaos unfolds from Europe. We must review all the markets to see how and where capital will move given these dramatic events in the US election. We will be moving toward digital currency and the rest of the West will now expect that Biden show cancels the currency to prevent people from hoarding dollars which is how they have been circumventing the European regulations. We will have to review the markets for they alone will map out the future for us. Will the capital flows flee to Asia? With the Dow still rise as a place capital will park for safety? Will banks be abandoned by the repudiation of debt which is why the politicians have been in league with Twitter, Google, and Facebook – the new digital banks going forward? (See IMF Blog).

There were people cheering the removal of Trump for they now expect that Biden will kill fossil fuels and renewable will be a new bull market. Of course, they are speaking out of their own positions and are clueless as to how you really end fossil fuels which are so integrated into everything. The taxes they will impose on the use of fossil fuels will help to ensure the further contraction of the economy into 2022. There is even talk that The Democrats will impose a $1,000 tax on every home and apartment for using heat and air condition.

What we are to expect will be revealed by the computer. There is a move to tax worldwide income forming in Europe and in the United States, we will see the drive to add a wealth tax which will be a property tax on everything you own on a global basis. If the politicians really represented the people, even Keynes had said to lower taxes to stimulate the economy and Trump’s cut in taxes produced the lowest unemployment ever post-Great Depression. But the political powers that be are really only interested in control and punishment.

So now it is time for Socrates to laid out the future. This is not a time for personal opinion and “I think” analysis. Einstein said he did not believe that God played dice with the Universe – i.e. nothing is random. It was interesting that Socrates picked this week rather than the inauguration. All we can do is try to apply the fundamentals to its forecast. The only way to approach the future from here is dispassionately and follow the capital flows.

Tracking Apps – The Total Surveillance is Here!


Armstrong Economics Blog/Tyranny Re-Posted Jan 7, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Marty; like you, I am a programmer. I see the future is very much like the Matrix. I do not understand why people in government feel the need to control everything and everyone. This is not the world I want my daughter to grow up in and she is just three years old.

PO

ANSWER: These apps that people are so eager to download for a virus that has a 99.5% survivability rate is astonishing. I agree, this is like the Matrix insofar as we seem to be living in a dream that we are somehow free when we are not. Personally, I am so glad my time is nearly up in this nightmare. They know the majority are just subservient fools. Stanley Milgram proved that the average person will even torture another as long as they are told to do so. He called it — “Obedience to Authority.”

Indeed, the New Norm is intended to bring in the Great Reset whereby offices vanish, commuting comes to an end, and travel will be forever restricted. However, vital to pulling this off is continued social distancing and masks. Why? This is being employed to combat civil unrest. It is also intended to separate the mindless sheep who obey whatever the government, says which complies with Stanley Milgram’s studies on “Obedience to Authority”.

The Germans put on trial after World War II said that they were just following orders. This inspired Milgram to investigate because many argued that the Germans were just different and could kill the Jews without remorse. At the Nuremberg Trials, those Germans simply said they were just following orders.

Stanley was perhaps the most important psychologists of all time as far as I am concerned. Instead of coming up with a theory, Stanley actually investigates and arrived at a conclusion nobody suspected was even possible. He hired actors to pretend to be shocked by a person whenever they lied. Stanley took random people off the street in the United States and elsewhere to see if the Germans were really a different species. He discovered that people would shock others in a torture setting as long as they were told that was what they had to do.

Stanley concluded his studies which shocked the world. They were published in his book – “Obedience to Authority.” I bring this up now BECAUSE this is precisely what is being carried out today. We have people wearing masks when there is no serious pandemic and yelling at others who do not. Some are violently attacking people who do not have a mask.

What is being carried out is a well-defined psychological tactic because they instill fear in the mass herd of human sheep and then they count on the obedience of authority to control society. I have stated before, a friend of mine grew up behind the Berlin Wall. When the wall fell, his father went and got his Stasi file. He was shocked to discover everyone he thought was a friend was telling the government everything he had to say against the government. When he came home, my friend thought his father went mad. He began punching holes in the walls and ripping out microphones. Until his death, he refused to ever speak to anyone outside his immediate family.

This is the reasoning being social distancing and wearing masks. This (1) provides justification to arrest people who try to gather together to resist, and (2) as in France, they can put you in prison for 6 months for not wearing a mask, or (3) in Melbourne, Australia there have been incidents of people attacking even women on the street who do not have a mask on. This is raw tyranny and how they are deliberately seeking to breakdown society to make the population controllable as was the case under communism.

Field Marshall Hermann Wilhelm Göring (1893–1946)

 “Why, of course, the people don’t want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood.

But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.

Interrogator: With respect to a Democracy they argued, the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States, only Congress can declare wars.

Göring replied: “Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”
