Main Justice Whistleblower Reveals Evidence of Joe Biden Criminal Bribery Scheme


May 3, 2023 | Sundance 

Two weeks ago, I wrote, “If Susan Rice is departing, the question becomes how the club removes Biden from the 2024 race?  There are a multitude of approaches and leverages available for the Lightbringer’s team, which includes Deputy AG Lisa Monaco at Main Justice.” (more)

Looks like today we have our answer.  [House Letter to DOJ] – [House Subpoena]

WASHINGTON – Senate Budget Committee Ranking Member and long-time whistleblower advocate Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today are demanding the FBI produce an unclassified record alleging a criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national. The document, an FBI-generated FD-1023 form, allegedly details an arrangement involving an exchange of money for policy decisions. Comer issued a subpoena today following legally protected disclosures to Grassley’s office.

“We believe the FBI possesses an unclassified internal document that includes very serious and detailed allegations implicating the current President of the United States. What we don’t know is what, if anything, the FBI has done to verify these claims or investigate further. The FBI’s recent history of botching politically charged investigations demands close congressional oversight,” Grassley said.

“The information provided by a whistleblower raises concerns that then-Vice President Biden allegedly engaged in a bribery scheme with a foreign national. The American people need to know if President Biden sold out the United States of America to make money for himself. Senator Grassley and I will seek the truth to ensure accountability for the American people,” Comer said.

Grassley has long raised concerns about political bias infecting high-level investigative decisions at the FBI, including investigations related to the Biden family’s foreign business arrangements and bank records. While FBI Director Christopher Wray pledged to prevent any retaliation targeting whistleblowers, the FBI and Justice Department have thus far refused to voluntarily provide responsive records or answers to congressional inquiries related to its handling of these politically sensitive investigations. (more)

Hopefully everyone can see what’s going on here.  Remember, current DAG Lisa Monaco was one of Obama’s central crew.

The best part of this story is going to be watching Main Justice pretending to refuse to comply with the subpoena, the same way Ron DeSantis pretended he was never running for the GOP nomination.   Which means the pretending will be transparent.

Eventually, someone is going to tap Jill Biden on the shoulder and say ‘that’s enough’.

If Susan Rice is departing, the question becomes how the club removes Biden from the 2024 race?  There are a multitude of approaches and leverages available for the Lightbringer’s team, which includes Deputy AG Lisa Monaco at Main Justice.

The criminal activity of Hunter Biden, and the potential for outcomes – or lack therein, can be leveraged.  The direct connection to the action of the principal, “the big guy” Joe Biden, could be leveraged.

The Biden administration’s interference in any number of related investigations can be leveraged, and… keep in mind…. it is not coincidental the evidence of the interference is manifest by the same team that would remove the principal.  Yeah, think about that for a moment.

Put aside the 2024 contest participants for a moment (ie. the shiny things), and instead focus on what peripheral risks exist to Joe Biden that could be deployed at any moment to push him to a graceful off ramp.

There are many club-installed insurance policies, political landmines all around Joe Biden.  Which one will they show him? [link]

I think we have our answer.

RNC Worried President Trump May Not Provide Fox News Opportunity to Attack Him During August GOP Debate


Posted originally on the CTH on May 3, 2023 | Sundance 

It’s still a little too early to predict the attack angle that Fox News Corp is constructing against Donald Trump for their announced control over the August 2023 presidential debate; however, the one thing we are certain of is the attack itself.

You might not remember how CTH accurately predicted the attack by Megyn Kelly and the specific angle of using sexism during the August 2015 debate.  That accurate prediction was an assembly of datapoints including Kelly’s lead in television appearances; the fact that FOX’s vice-president of political content, Bill Sammon, was in charge of the debate format; the fact that Rupert Murdoch was promoting Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio; and the fact that Bill Sammon’s daughter, Brooke Sammon, was the communications director for the Rubio campaign.   The prediction was accurate, and Megyn Kelly did exactly what Rupert Murdoch paid her to do.

By the time the second Fox News debate came around in Feb 2016, candidate Trump just ignored it and held a rally instead.  This is the context for another round of Republican presidential debates, and the intent of Fox News and the RNC to support it, once again.   Fox and the RNC have once again agreed to an August 2023 debate – President Trump leading by 30 to 40 points in the polls, has not.  [SEE VIDEO] WATCH:

The second debate is scheduled for the Ronald Reagan Library, an ideological opposition group to the interests of MAGA.   As noted by the New York Times, “The chairman of the library’s board of trustees, Frederick J. Ryan Jr., also serves as the publisher and chief executive officer of The Washington Post, a fact that Mr. Trump regularly brings up.”

The Ronald Reagan library venue is as establishment Republican as it gets.  The America First agenda would find more support at the George W. Bush ranch in Texas.  The board members of the Ron Reagan library hate Donald Trump and have never invited him there to speak.  For President Trump, that venue is a non-starter.

We all know what both GOPe institutions holding and broadcasting Republican debates are going to attempt against President Trump.  Which explains why President Trump has agreed to a CNN townhall event.   Even with the pre-planted audience questions and attendees designed to undermine Donald Trump, at least facing the enemy on their turf he knows what to expect.

[New York Times] […] For Mr. Trump, denying his low-polling rivals access to a massive television audience is part of his calculations in potentially skipping the debates, according to the people who have discussed the matter with him. In 2015, Fox News drew an audience of 24 million for the first primary debate of the 2016 campaign. It was, at the time, the biggest viewership for a nonsports event in cable television history.

“In his mind there’s not enough candidates who are polling close enough to him,” said a person familiar with Mr. Trump’s thinking, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations with the former president. “And that if he does a debate this early with candidates who are polling in the single digits, there’s no upside for him.”

Another motivation for Mr. Trump is revenge: The former president has a history with the two institutions hosting the first two Republican candidate debates.

Mr. Trump has told advisers that the second debate is a nonstarter for him because it will be held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. The chairman of the library’s board of trustees, Frederick J. Ryan Jr., also serves as the publisher and chief executive officer of The Washington Post, a fact that Mr. Trump regularly brings up.

Mr. Trump is also sour that the Reagan library has invited numerous other leading Republicans to speak at its events over the past two years, including his presidential rival Mr. DeSantis, but has never extended an invitation to Mr. Trump, according to two people familiar with his thinking.

The library started a speakers series in 2021 called “Time for Choosing,” and invitees have included Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina; Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador; and, more recently, Mr. DeSantis. A spokesperson for the library said no former president has been included in the series.

One reason Mr. Trump may skip the first debate is its timing — he believes it’s too early, and has told aides he does not want to debate in August. Another reason is the host, Fox News. (read more)

Whether he does or whether he doesn’t, the big picture remains clear.

The Republican Party apparatus will attempt to use their leverage within the GOPe debates to weaken Donald Trump and enhance Ron DeSantis.

Government’s Rule #1 – There are no Rules in time of Need


Armstrong Eonomics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted May 2, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; With Mexico pushing to nationalize mines claiming it is targeting lithium, many see this law as opening the door to seizing all mines. You have always warned that as we move closer and closer to 2032, governments will become more authoritarian because they feel that they are losing power. Do you see mines becoming a target when they cancel the paper money and force everyone into government digital currency since gold will be the obvious alternative?

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am sorry for what they did to you, but the positive outcome is first we now know you are not one of them, and secondly that we would never have had access to Socrates. You have your sweet revenge for you are now much more widely known than had you remained exclusive.

Keep that stiff upper lip, as they say.

NP

ANSWER: Yes, I have heard that many times. I was shocked that just 3 months after my release I held a conference mainly because they wanted to shoot the movie The Forecaster. I was totally stunned when people were flying in from around the world. When I asked why they came, they said they wanted to make sure it was really me writing and not the government using my name. That was a surprise but it also shows how much people did not trust the government and that was 12 years ago.

RULE #1 – There are no rules in times of crisis. The government will do whatever they want and it is up to the people to challenge them in court.

In Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, also known as The Steel Seizure Case, which made it to the Supreme Court where they ruled against President Truman by invalidating his seizure of the nation’s steel industry. In doing so, the Court limited the extent of the powers of the President of the United States under the Constitution. That was then. Biden has done some outrageous actions all with executive orders that defeat Congress and any democratic system.

Back in 1917, President Wilson nationalized the railroad industry to keep workers from striking during WWI. Truman could do something similar via Executive Order, but he had other options as well. In 1947 Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act, which banned strategies to help workers organize unions and limited the president’s power to seize industries during times of labor unrest. This allowed Truman to force workers back to work for 80 days while negotiations continued between labor and management. In 1948, an amendment was added to the Selective Service Act, allowing the president to seize industry facilities that were unable to fill their government orders for wartime products. The steel industry was not defaulting on its order obligations; however, as commander-in-chief, the president could make all military decisions for the United States, including mobilization efforts.

The story of the Youngstown decision begins with war. In 1950, the United States became involved in the Korean War when North Korean forces invaded the Republic of Korea. President Truman, without a Congressional declaration of war, sent troops to South Korea. In doing so, President Truman became the first president to involve the United States in a major war without specific authorization from Congress.

We must understand that this is the precedent. Biden will pull the same thing and get us involved in World War III and will circumvent Congress if the Neocons think Congress will not declare an act of war. People will say but that is unconstitutional. We ended up in the Korean War with no declaration of war either.

Herbert Hoover launched an investigation into the Great Crash based on a phone call where someone alleged that people manipulated the market down to discredit his administration. His investigations launched the SEC. In his memoirs, he apologized admitting that something the government will burn down the barn to a single rat.

They can seize gold mines and do the same to cryptocurrencies. Anyone who thinks there is some rule of law that will protect them – good luck. This is why I recommend coins and NOT bars for precious metals. Just as in the EU, they have made it illegal for a hotel to accept cash, they will do the same to cryptocurrencies and probably gold bullion. Already in Europe, it is ILLEGAL to pay for anything in excess of €10,000 in cash.

Anyone who thinks that by some miracle cryptocurrency will run parallel to the government’s digital currencies when they eliminate cash probably smoked too much when they were in college. They will not tolerate any competition. As we approach 2032, they will become much more aggressive and destroy everything we thought was our basic human right. Just look at what Trudeau did in Canada not to the Truckers, but froze anyone’s account to even donated money to them.

We do NOT live in a free society nor in a democracy at all. Because of their fiscal mismanagement, they have killed the economy, and now to prevent an uprising when the people figure it all out, they will become increasingly more authoritarian.

Edward Gibbon wrote of Caracalla: Each

distinction of every kind soon became criminal. The possession of wealth stimulated the diligence of the informers; rigid virtue implied a tacit censure of the irregularities of Commodus; important services implied a dangerous superiority of merit; and the friendship of the father always insured the aversion of the son. Suspicion was equivalent to proof; trial to condemnation. The execution of a considerable senator was attended with the death of all who might lament or revenge his fate; and when Commodus had once tasted human blood, he became incapable of pity or remorse

(Book 1, Chapter 4).

On April 8th, 217AD, Caracalla was traveling to visit a temple near Carrhae in southern Turkey. On his journey, he stopped briefly to urinate. A soldier quietly approached Caracalla and stabbed him to death. Such is the fate of tyrants. When the military realizes that the enemy is within, they will eventually turn and defend the people. That is what history offers as an important lesson. They are going to do everything to stop Trump from becoming president because he is not a politician and now knows the game. He would fire all the Neocons and they will sooner assassinate him than relinquish the power they have seized under Biden. They have begun WWIII against Russia and China without a declaration of war as was the case against North Korea.

Why Now? Florida Republican Legislature Sealing Ron DeSantis Travel Records from Public Review


Posted originally on the CTH on May 2, 2023 | Sundance 

The easiest way to cut through the pretending nonsense is to ask the obvious question, ‘Why now?

The Florida Republican Legislature is changing the Sunshine Laws in Florida to block people from reviewing the travel records of the Florida Governor. [HB1495 Link]

The claimed justification is security, to protect the governor and high-ranking state officials.  However, the obvious timing of Ron DeSantis pending run for the White House, in combination with his administration refusing to give details on who/how the funding for his private charter flights have been taking place during the “book tour,” makes the new law much more suspicious as constructed.

As noted within a Politico article on this subject: […] flight tracking records show that a private chartered jet last week flew from Austin, Texas, to Japan to South Korea to Israel to London and then, over the weekend, stopped in Boston before finally winding up in Tallahassee. Those stops coincide with the governor’s movements for the past week.

No reply at all — It has been previously stated that this trip is being paid by private donations to Enterprise Florida, the public-private economic development agency that is about to be dismantled by the Legislature. But a spokesperson for Enterprise Florida has not responded to questions as to why a chartered jet — which is likely to be tremendously expensive — was used for DeSantis’ trip. The agency was also asked about how much this will ultimately cost.  (read more)

If we stop playing this silly game of pretending, we will accept the billionaire donors who are funding the ‘STOP TRUMP’ operation are likely the same donors who are funding the ‘BOOK TOUR’; who are the same donors who funded the new branding and consulting group in 2022; who are the same donors funding the apparatus of the DeSantis stealth campaign.  More succinctly, his control handlers.

The need for control is a reaction to fear.

The professional Republican apparatus in Florida needs to control what is visible about the construct of Ron DeSantis 2024.  If you ask my opinion, I will tell you from all appearances this fear is connected to a reality that Ron DeSantis ’24 was planned long, long ago.  Likely before the 2020 presidential election year.

As a result of decades of grassroots activist work in the state of Florida, much of it led by the patriotic Tea Party movement, the sunshine state has/had some of the most transparent public information laws in the country.  Florida is/was well known for the ability of citizens and media to keep government officials in check through public records requests.  I have personally used them and will attest to the sunlight process that was always available.

Ever since the people behind Governor Ron DeSantis began conducting a stealth presidential campaign based on fraud, deception, brand imagery and pretense, those same Florida Sunlight Laws are viewed as a risk.   The arc of this DeSantis legacy, including the legislative changes he champions as good for the state, does not end in a good place.

If you follow the process to its natural conclusion, what’s predictable is a voter swing in the other direction. Then Democrats will have a lot of powerful tools they can weaponize against their opposition.  Tools, currently created by DeSantis, will be used by a host of carpetbagging non and new-Floridians who are putting the state on a path for future misery.

You only need to look at what took place on the floor of the Florida House of Representatives today to get a sense of the legislative crisis they are gleefully creating.  This is what DeSantis leadership in the state looks like right now:

President Trump Extends Polling Lead, DeSantis Continues Shrinking, Ramaswamy Leaps Ahead of Haley and Pence,


Posted originally on the CTH on May 2, 2023 | Sundance 

As the business operations of politics and consultants start their income cycle, several polls have been released in the past several days attempting to capture the attention of an increasingly angst riddled population.

Household economics, job losses, wage pressure, destabilized checkbook finance issues and ongoing inflation continue at the forefront of concerns for the majority of voters. In an effort to distract from the core issue(s) of policy, both the Republican and Democrat corporations are trying to divert attention to more favorable social issues.  However, after multiple election cycles, a larger portion of the general population has caught on to the game.

The distracting political constructs are not working as well for the RNC and DNC as they used to, but they keep trying.

The CBS/YouGOV poll is one of the larger overall polls that tracks large voter samples over time [DATA HERE].  “Trump looks like a former president who left office popular with his party, and little that’s happened in the ensuing years has changed that. In fact, concerning his recent legal challenges, a majority say one rationale for backing him is showing support during those fights.”

For the well-funded multinational corporate opposition to Trump, generally best personified in their promotion of Ron DeSantis, the problem they cannot overcome is easily identified in the next graphic, “Why are you voting for Trump?

Keep in mind, this response is roughly two-thirds of all Republican voters.  94% because we have already seen the results, and 94% because he is fighting “for people like me.”

Look at this in terms of what the Republican Party is now.  This is the MAGA takeover within the GOP saying, we know Trump can deliver a great outcome for us, and he’s the only one who ever has.   There is no GOPe alternative that can fight against those two key points.

94% of the base voters who support Trump, and that’s more than two-thirds of the party, only see Donald Trump as the option.  This is a data point that many of us see and hear in our conversations.  There is no other America First, economic nationalist in the GOP field other than Donald Trump.

Donald Trump is all alone carrying specific policies that matter most.

This truth is a big deal, and it makes the professionally political efforts to defeat him look silly.

There is only one candidate with a foreign policy and economic policy that aligns with the majority of Republican voters.  That candidate is Donald Trump.   Both of those key issues are also the priority of independent voters.

All other voting issues have multiple candidate options, but for voters who look at their economic status as a priority, there is only one option, Trump.

In the 538 poll (1,577 registered voters) released today, Donald Trump beats Joe Biden 45 to 42%.  Keep in mind that 538 polls generally skew left in favor of Democrats.  The same polling shows Ron DeSantis losing a head-to-head matchup against Joe Biden 35 to 40%.  President Trump carries a similar 35-point advantage over Ron DeSantis 57/22.

The McLaughlin poll released yesterday shows a similar outcome.   President Trump beats Joe Biden 47 to 43%, and President Trump is crushing Ron DeSantis in the primary 52 to 16%.

Again, just like Ted Cruz in 2016, as more people are exposed to Ron DeSantis, his support drops.  This is an outcome of several factors, including the extreme control mechanisms used by the multinational corporations and billionaire donors to present an alternative.   However, it’s a worsening problem when you start digging into the details of what the candidates claim as their reason for being an alternative.

The DeSantis numbers will continue dropping in national polling; although, as a result of the scale of money launched in support of him, you will see his face everywhere that is controlled by that same corporate money.  Additionally, the influencers who enlisted with DeSantis are trying to retain the illusion of RdS support through an astroturf campaign.  Once the money dries up, their efforts will diminish.

WASHINGTON – Former President Donald Trump has strengthened his position as the GOP’s leader and is now in his best position yet to win the Republican presidential nomination and beat President Joe Biden in a grudge election next year.

New polling data shared with Secrets on Tuesday morning indicate that Trump has a 41-percentage-point lead over Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), who is expected to join the GOP race this month.

And Trump leads Biden 47%-43% in the monthly McLaughlin & Associates national survey. “President Trump has his best poll results year to date in our poll,” John McLaughlin said.  The only other Republican to show growth was Vivek Ramaswamy, who went from zero support last month to 4% in April. (more)

A note of caution should be applied here….

Despite the will of the voters, the Republican Governors Association (RGA) is almost certain to oppose President Trump at a state level.  The RGA will only support a non-Trump alternative, like Ron DeSantis.  The RGA is deeply connected to the same multinational and billionaire donors who are funding DeSantis in an effort to control the election outcome.

Do not look for Republican governors to pay attention to the Republican voters in their states.  Once a politician enters the sphere of donor class influence at state or federal level, they are subject to the influence of those donors.

There is a great MAGA insurgency taking place at the state level, and that is also visible in the endorsements.  However, the systems – not people, systems – which operate the business end of Republican politics at a state and federal level, are still under the control of the RNC as a private corporation.  Don’t look for MAGA support from the institutions until we have MAGA people in charge of them.

2024 is MAGA burning the ships behind us.  This one is for all the marbles. This is not a place where tepid half-measures and gentlemanly pastels will suffice.  Get right with God, put on the armor, absorb the focus of fighting like the third monkey on the ramp to Noah’s ark, and get comfortable being uncomfortable.

Our ally is anyone who stands beside us, right now. Our enemy is anyone who doesn’t.

The new sons and daughters of the revolution are going to look completely different.  The Green Dragon Tavern may be a church, a picnic table or a tailgate.  The assembly is not focused on the labels of the assembled.  We ain’t got time for that.  The mission is the purpose… The fight is wherever it surfaces…. Delicate sensibilities dispatched like a feather in a hurricane.

COMMENT: Hi Martin
Thanks largely to you, my family and I never took the covid vaccines. You are/were right that the Covid pandemic was a scam.
However, today, I read a post by you that reported that an 11% spontaneous abortion rate is something to be concerned about. The average miscarriage rate for woman younger than 35 is 15% and it gets worse, the older you get.

REPLY: I think this T-Shirt sums it all up. We cannot survive under a Republic without term limits. Once someone becomes a politician, all is lost. Our politicians have been bribed and now there is a lawsuit filed against the head of the EU for she never put it to Parliament, bought billions of doses many times more than the population of Europe, with ZERO accountability.

These people have crossed to the other side and we become the enemy. I was in British Columbia about 20 years ago and I was totally shocked by a left-wing woman politician I do not remember her name. She actually said that EVERYTHING we earn belongs to the government. They decide how much we are allowed to retain.

Klaus Schwab is an academic. Most are just Marxists and believe that they need to suppress human nature and we should own nothing, surrender all imagination and creativity, and just work like ants in their leftist vision of a farm.

President Trump Travels to Scotland to Cut Ribbon for New Golf Course in Aberdeen


Posted originally on May 1, 2023 | Sundance 

President Donald Trump continues living his best life even when surrounded in the U.S. by globalist jackals and political hyenas.  President Trump traveled to Scotland Monday to visit his property holdings and cut the ribbon on a new golf course in Aberdeen.

(Reuters) – Former U.S. President Donald Trump arrived in Scotland on Monday for a short trip to visit his golf courses in the country and in Ireland.

Trump, who has family roots in Lewis, an island off the northwestern tip of Scotland, owns two golf courses in Scotland – one north of Aberdeen and the Turnberry resort south of Glasgow – as well as the Doonbeg golf resort in Ireland.

“It’s great to be home,” Trump told reporters after disembarking from his plane at Aberdeen airport. “This was the home of my mother.”

Trump, who launched his election campaign last November for the 2024 U.S. presidential election, said on Sunday he was travelling to “see and inspect” his properties in Scotland and Ireland.

“Will be meeting with many wonderful friends, and cutting a ribbon for a new and SPECTACULAR Second Course in Aberdeen. Very Exciting,” the 76-year old said on his social media platform Truth Social. (read more)

Senator Ron Johnson Notes Republicans on Senate Homeland Security Committee Refused to Support Hunter Biden Investigation


Posted originally on the CTH on May 1, 2023 | Sundance 

During an interview on Sunday conducted by Maria Bartiromo with Senator Ron Johnson, ranking member of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Senator Johnson revealed that Republicans on his own committee refused to investigate the issues that surfaced from the Hunter Biden laptop, because they were worried about the appearance of politics during a 2020 election year.  Note, that’s an outcome of a Mitch McConnell decision.

Additionally, following revelations from the laptop of Hunter Biden, Senator Johnson outlines that current Secretary of State Anthony Blinken lied to congress when he said he never had any email contact with Hunter Biden.  Emails from Secretary Blinken are on the Biden laptop. WATCH:
