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

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.

Suspicious Trading – Did America Know Hamas Planned to Invade Israel?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Oct 19, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

It is no secret that politicians use their insider information to select stocks. A recent trade has raised eyebrows and raises the question of whether those behind the curtain knew that the Hamas attacks were coming, or worse, the whole thing was planned.

Josh Gottheimer is a Democrat Congressman from New Jersey. On September 25, Gottheimer just so happened to purchase numerous shares of Northrop Grumman Corp (NYSE: NOC) for around 425 per share. Northrop Grumman Corp also just so happens to be one of the largest military defense contractors in the world and it conducts the majority of its business with the US Department of Defense.

Hamas penetrated the Iron Dome two weeks later on October 7. The stock spiked 11% on the day of the attack and is trading a bit below 500 at the time of this writing. Lucky trade? Solid company? The trade itself doesn’t seem off until you look a bit closer. Gottheimer is also an overseeing member of the National Security Agency and Cyber Subcommittee, a branch of the Department of Defense that partners with all the three letter agencies and every branch of the military. As explained on their website, “NSA Cybersecurity prevents and eradicates threats to U.S. national security systems with a focus on the Defense Industrial Base and the improvement of U.S. weapons’ security. It also strives to promote cybersecurity education, research, and career-building.”

If this were a case of insider trading, it indicates that American intelligence agencies had been preparing for October 7. Again, no one has yet to discover how Hamas invaded what was possibly the most secure border in the world. Something does not add up here.

Voters Making a Difference – Republican DC Members Scared to Vote Against Jim Jordan for Speaker, Wall of Opposition Crumbling


Posted originally on the CTH on October 16, 2023 | Sundance 

The media and punditry are saying it’s the pressure of Jordan, but really, it’s the pressure of the voters that’s scaring the crap out of the Republicans in the House.

The block of opposition to Jim Jordan’s nomination in the House is crumbling, as their phones, emails and fax machines are being lit up by voters demanding support and threatening a removal primary against any House member who tries to stand in the way of the people.

Jordan has vowed to take his nomination to a House floor vote and force the Republican Party to take a stand. This is a solid strategy that puts any no vote against the will of the electorate.

WASHINGTON – Twenty-four hours before the full House will vote on whether to hand Jordan the gavel, the Judiciary chair and his allies have managed to chip away at a significant bloc of opposition that many in the House GOP saw as insurmountable just days ago.

That includes two lawmakers who had publicly vowed not to support Jordan: Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.), who had publicly railed against Jordan’s behavior towards Majority Whip Steve Scalise, and House Armed Services Chair Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), who had also backed Scalise’s bid and has been critical of the House Freedom Caucus’s tactics in recent years.

Another holdout, Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.), posted on X Monday that he would be “offering my support on the House floor” to Jordan. Buchanan, a senior member of the Florida GOP delegation, is another significant get, given three Republicans from the Sunshine state are still holding out.

Some House Republicans also raised eyebrows at the nod from Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Calif.), a senior appropriator who has been similarly skeptical of the ultraconservatives’ demands this Congress.

“I feel real good about the momentum we have and I think we’re real close,” Jordan told reporters Monday, vowing to take the contest to the floor at noon regardless of whether he’s formally landed 217 votes. (read more)

Y’all know how I feel about Jordan in general terms, but hopefully the MAGA base and President Trump’s influence can overwhelm the right wing of the Uniparty vulture.

When It Comes to U.S. Intelligence Community Claims, ie. Egypt Warning Israel, Apply Strong Cynicism


Posted originally on TCTH on October 12, 2023 | Sundanc

Apparently, some people have forgotten that American citizens are in an abusive relationship with our government.  A government that has demonstrably lied repeatedly and used the official institutions of the U.S. intelligence apparatus to do so [See reference of 50 former intel officials claiming Biden laptop was Russian disinformation].

So, allow me to walk through the process of the story attributed most recently to House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Mike McCaul, as relayed to him by DNI Avril Haines, an Obama operative inside the Biden administration, and broadcast to media.

McCaul claims the US Intelligence Community know that Egypt warned Israel of the pending Hamas attack.  Everything about this is sketchy in the extreme.  Senior Egyptian Intelligence officials state, without qualification, that such a warning never happened {link}, and Bibi Netanyahu has said it was fake news {link}.  I believe President Fattah Abdel al-Sisi and Prime Minister Netanyahu – here’s why.

First, don’t forget the geopolitical motives to disparage and diminish Egypt after they recently joined the BRICS economic alliance.

Second, don’t forget that following Obama and Clinton’s ill-fated attempt to install a Muslim Brotherhood leader in Egypt, Mohammed Morsi, General al-Sisi was forced to stop the Islamist Spring in Egypt.  That put Sisi on the opposite side of Obama, and years of manipulative disparagement ensued.   However, Sisi put his commitment to eradicating extremism -like Hamas- into action, not mere words {GO DEEP}.

In 2014, Sisi began destroying Hamas tunnels into Gaza from the Sinai region of Egypt.  {link} This was not a small task, as it was discovered that one-third of all buildings in the region contained tunnels into Gaza that were being used by Hamas terrorists. {link}  At the time, we called them al-Qaeda and ISIS, but they are all various factions of the extremist sentiment espoused by the Muslim Brotherhood.  Sisi kicked the Brotherhood out of Egypt {link}.  They fled to Qatar.

In retaliation, in early 2015 Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood put a fatwah on al-Sisi and called for Jihad against Egypt {link}. Against the backdrop of the first border opening between Egypt’s northern Sinai and Gaza, and against the ongoing efforts by the al-Sisi led coalition to move toward peace between Arabs and Israelis, the extremists strike back in 2017 with a horrific terrorist attack against the Al Rawdah mosque in Bir al-Abed, west of El Arish, the main city in North Sinai. 235 people were killed and hundreds more wounded {link}

Qatar has been a source of historic extremist and terrorist related problems for the Gulf Security Council and aforementioned Gulf States.

Here’s some historic background for context:

  • Qatar was the intermediary used by President Obama for covert arms and monetary transfers by the Obama CIA and Obama/Clinton State Department respectively.
  • Qatar was also the chosen home for detainees when President Obama released the GITMO terrorists.
  • Most importantly, however, is the relationship between Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood.  When Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi named the Muslim Brotherhood a terror organization, their leadership fled to safe harbor in Qatar.
  • {LINK}
el-sisi in Saudi

Egyptian President Fattah al-Sisi then began a months and years long assembly of Gulf Arab states (Gulf Security Council) to boycott Qatar, cut all diplomatic ties, and isolate them until they renounced terrorism and stopped providing safe harbor for extremists.

Eventually, Qatar acquiesced and sent the Muslim Brotherhood to Turkey.

President al-Sisi then asked Interpol to watch carefully and notify him if the Muslim Brotherhood were ever allowed to leave Turkey.  [Yeah, al-Sisi is a badass like that]

Recep Erdogan gave the Brotherhood safe harbor in Turkey.  Turkey is not an ally when it comes to the elimination of Islamic extremism.

al-Sisi’s record fighting against Islamic extremism is not in question.  He is a man who has seen the devastation created upon his people,and he has taken action- not words – to stand behind his effort.   The Islamists hate al-Sisi with a passion.

If Egypt says they did not warn Israel, I believe them.  If al-Sisi thought Hamas was going to launch a serious attack, he would have called Prime Minister Netanyahu directly. Both leaders say this did not happen.

Western, U.S., intelligence is saying that Bibi was warned by Egypt.  However, Egypt denies this.

With everything we know about U.S. intelligence operations, and considering their ideologues in the intelligence community have Obama/Biden motives to undermine Benjamin Netanyahu and install a controllable regime in Egypt, there’s no reason to believe this is not manufactured political intelligence intended to weaken Netanyahu at a moment of vulnerability.

In the world of the Obama ideologues, they “never let a crisis go to waste,” even when it involves the massacre of innocent men, women and children.  If they can undermine Netanyahu, to the benefit of their pro-Iran agenda, they will.

Do not forget all of the efforts the Obama/Biden team put into creating a crisis in the Israeli political system, and activating all resources to manipulate the public, and align with the opposition party inside Israel.

Mike McCaul is a useful idiot Republican, a member of the professional DC class of UniParty loyalists.  He’s not on the intelligence committee, yet as the Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, he received a “non-classified” political briefing alongside the Biden White House.  Think about that scenario.  Think internal tradecraft.

McCaul then did exactly what the tradecraft operators would expect him to after a “non-classified” briefing, he went to the media.  Duh!  Can you see it now? 

We are being manipulated.  We need to break this cycle of abuse via propaganda, by reminding ourselves about the history of how we have been abused.  Do not support the goals of those in the U.S. government who are aligned in sympathetic cause with the jihadists.

Lastly, I support the current efforts of Israel because: (a) they are targeting the correct enemy, and (b) because I disagree with the fundamental Muslim Brotherhood proposition that I should be killed.

Mike McCaul is a useful idiot!

New York Appeals Court Halts Process of Forced Dissolution of Trump’s Business Operations in State


Posted originally on the CTH on October 6, 2023 | Sundance

The New York appeals court refused to stop or delay the ongoing civil action against President Trump; however, they did put a stay on the forced dissolution of the businesses.

Activist Judge Arthur Engoron had previously given President Trump’s team 10 days to outline a receivership process that would dissolve his business interests in New York. The appeals court ruling stops that from happening as the civil trial continues.

[Source]

CNN — A New York appeals court judge on Friday rejected Donald Trump’s attempt to stop the ongoing $250 million civil fraud trial, but temporarily halted the process of breaking up his businesses.  Associate Justice Peter Moulton issued the ruling after a brief hearing Friday afternoon. (link)

This civil trial is a farce manufactured by radical Lawfare ideologues.

Report – President Trump Will Endorse Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House


Posted originally on the CTH on October 6, 2023 | Sundance 

President Trump is scheduled to meet with Republican House Conference leadership on Tuesday next week.  According to Congressman Troy Nehls, President Trump is going to recommend and endorse Ohio Representative Jim Jordan for the position:

[Source Link]

Obviously, I do not personally like this idea, as I think it’s just another bondo and spray paint application upon the Republican wing of the UniParty.  However, oddly enough when John Boehner stepped down, I wanted to see Jim Jordan instead of Paul Ryan.  Goes to show how rapidly the machinery in DC can compromise someone.

Ukraine will get funded.  Jordan will be the arbiter of which DC inhabitants will be protected from subpoenas; the House will change the rules to protect him.  The door nameplates change, and everyone goes back to business as usual.  Meh, I wonder who will be placed as chair of the Judiciary Committee and Weaponization Committee?

President Trump Lawyers File Motion for Dismissal in DC J6 Case on First Constitutional Grounds – Presidential Immunity


Posted originally on the CTH on October 5, 2023 | Sundance

UPDATE:  Outline edited as original review cited Mar-a-Lago case, this is DC case.

As expected, the first legal motion to dismiss the DC January 6 case is based on the first constitutional application, presidential immunity. [Full Filing pdf HERE]

President Trump’s attorneys John Lauro and Todd Blanche say within their first filing that special prosecutor Jack Smith’s case against President Trump is an attempt to criminalize actions that were well within his White House duties, such as enforcing federal election laws.

“The Constitution, the Supreme Court, and hundreds of years of history and tradition all make clear, the President’s motivations are not for the prosecution or this Court to decide. Rather, where, as here, the President’s actions are within the ambit of his office, he is absolutely immune from prosecution.”

[Source pdf]

It is a strong and compelling argument, citing numerous prior cases and rulings on the plenary power of the executive and the constitutional establishment of the President as the absolute power within the executive branch.   The argument hits one of three core tenets that Jack Smith has used to establish his case.

Even left-leaning Politico seems to accept the foundation of the DC Smith case weakens when contrast against the executive power of the president.

[The] prosecutors’ case is really about distinct powers that the president has: communicating with the public, organizing his administration, talking to Congress, enforcing election laws and ensuring the Constitution is faithfully executed. Whether Trump genuinely believed that the election was stolen — which his attorneys say he did — is irrelevant in assessing his immunity from prosecution, they argue.

“This conduct is manifestly part of the President’s responsibilities in our constitutional tradition, and the question whether the President has a formal role in the election certification process makes no difference,” the attorneys wrote.

[…] Trump’s attorneys say there’s an even more fundamental problem with the charges against him: He was acquitted by the Senate in an impeachment trial for similar conduct. That acquittal, they say, renders Trump “absolutely immune” from prosecution for related acts.

“The Impeachment Clauses provide that the President may be charged by indictment only in cases where the President has been impeached and convicted by trial in the Senate,” the attorneys wrote. “Here, President Trump was acquitted by the Senate for the same course of conduct.”

The Senate acquitted Trump despite a 57-43 majority favoring his conviction because of a two-thirds requirement in the Constitution. At the time, Trump was charged with one count — inciting insurrection — related to his speech to a rally crowd that later became the mob that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The impeachment trial came just a month after the attack — and shortly after Trump had left office. (link)

President Trump NYC Attorney Alina Habba Gives Great Breakdown of NYC Trial Status


Posted originally on the CTH on October 5, 2023 | Sundance 

Alina Habba is one of the key attorneys on the civil case in New York City.  Within this interview with Larry Kudlow, Habba gives a great overall status update on the case and draws some interesting points that I was unfamiliar with.

The New York AG is using a “consumer fraud statute” as the cornerstone of the case.  If you think about it, when it comes to the lender/borrower dynamic, Donald Trump is the consumer in the transaction.  The statute that was created to protect the consumer from predatory lenders is being twisted by Lawfare against the consumer, presumably under the auspices of protecting the lenders.   The case is built upon a fraudulent premise, reversing the intent of the statute being used.  WATCH:

Pentagon Officials Have Been Operating a Dogfighting Ring for 5 Years


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Oct 5, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The Pentagon is beyond corrupt and above the law. Understandably, many people relate to their animal companions more than other humans. This story is likely to cause more anger than the TRILLIONS that have gone missing from the Pentagon in recent decades. Office of the Secretary of Defense Deputy Chief Information Officer Frederick Moorefield Jr., 62, and Mario Flythe, 49, have been charged for running a violent illegal dogfighting ring for half a decade.

They gamble with our money and have no regard for human lives, so it is not far-fetched that they’d do the same to helpless dogs. The two Pentagon officials believed they were speaking on an encrypted service, but nothing is safe. Dogfighting is a cruel and sinister activity that is considered a felony in all 50 states. People tend to associate dogfighting rings with gangs and low-level criminals, but these people have been torturing animals as a hobby.

The two low lives discussed how to train and kill dogs for their gambling ring. They called the operation “Geehad Kennels” and “Razor Sharp Kennels” as this was an ongoing underground ring that was permitted to run for half a decade. The district attorney’s office conducted a search and found  12 remaining dogs, most if not all who will be euthanized, along with “veterinary steroids, training schedules, a carpet that appeared to be stained with blood, and a weighted dog vest with a patch reading ‘Geehad Kennels.’”

Moorefield and Flythe used electrical jumper cables to murder dogs the dogs who lost – absolutely disgraceful.

Does the Pentagon not run background checks? It is hard to imagine that no one noticed after FIVE years. Moorefield was responsible for the Pentagon’s “non-nuclear strategic strike” and “integrated missile defense.” How do you expect them to treat human beings when they have no regard for life? Considering Fauci’s experiments on beagles, it is safe to say our government is filled with heartless psychopaths.
