Soros Targets Media in Maine

Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Sep 22, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Alex Soros confirmed that he will be focusing his attention on having Joe Biden re-installed as president. The Soros family and the Open Society Foundation are no strangers to using the media to their advantage. “Whoever controls the media controls the mind,” as they say. Now Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss and the Open Society Foundation are pouring money into a dozen newspapers in Maine to ensure the facts are reported from the opinion of the far-left.

The two billionaires funded the National Trust for Local News, which is now the state’s largest newspaper publisher. Wyss also funds States Newsroom, which is beginning to expand to Maine. He has already spent half a billion on far-left political groups and is meddling in the election under the guise of philanthropy. Why does an 88-year-old Swiss man need to spend that much on US politics?

The Open Society Foundation has spent $52 on media manipulation since 2003, according to a report from Media Research Center. Biden won Maine in 2020, allegedly, but the state narrowly swung blue in 2016. Alex Soros supported the Biden-Harris agenda and will back them in the lead-up to the election. Soros admitted his fear — a “MAGA-style Republican victory” would “undermine” the Great Reset. The Soros family backed every far-left violent “advocacy” group during Trump’s presidency, as I suspect they took Hillary’s loss personally. Expect to see altered headlines that skew left more than usual.

Nunes Gets It

Posted originally on the CTH on September 21, 2023 | Sundance

Devin Nunes appeared on Sebastian Gorka podcast to discuss political events and contrast recent history against current narratives. Someone pointed out to me that around the 01:17:45 point of the podcast, Nunes frames the context of Team Obama in DC, noting that something shifted and is not quite what it was.

Nunes accurately notes the Biden installation was entirely the result of TEAM Barack Obama activating their political network in 2020. We’ve discussed this extensively, as the specific events took place in the week leading up to the Super Tuesday DNC primary. Obama and Clyburn allied to create the merge of two important groups, the BLM radicals (Obama) and the AME network (Clyburn). The radicals collected the fraudulent ballots, the AME network counted them, repeatedly. Go look at the actual people, that’s their connective tissue.

The Chicago network (think Jussie Smollett operation), led by TEAM-O, then pulled Kamala back into the mix, and together with Clyburn placed her on the Biden ticket. Team Biden didn’t have a choice because they couldn’t win without the networks and their election plans. Yes, at a high enough level it’s not complicated to see.

OUTCOME: Susan Rice was installed in the White House as the Lightbringer’s gatekeeper. Lisa Monaco was installed at DOJ as the Lightbringer’s gatekeeper. Avril Haines was installed as DNI, again as the Lightbringer’s gatekeeper. Samantha Power, etcetera, etcetera. Remember, Teh One weaponized the DNI, FBI, DOJ, NSC, so those systems had to be protected and maintained. It really is that simple.

Nunes notes the same triggering mechanisms that we identified on these pages. {Go Deep} The day before Biden announces his reelection bid, Susan Rice departs the White House. Effectively, Team Obama began a withdrawal. Nunes can see it. WATCH:

Fibber – Rupert Murdoch Claims He’s Relinquishing Control to His Son, Lachlan Murdoch

Posted originally on the CTH on September 21, 2023 | Sundance

This guy isn’t actually changing anything by announcing he is leaving the board of Fox News Corp and will only serve as chair emeritus. That’s a complete head fake.

Rupert Murdoch will never give up control of the media enterprise he assembled, and Lachlan Murdoch is even more entrenched with the ideology of leftism than his father. It is a complete misnomer to look at Ruperts announcement and think he’s handing the baton.

This guy doesn’t give up anything, ever.

Instead, what we see is even more leftist, multinational corporate media nonsense within the media empire the guy created.

Recent examples like the Sunday Times targeting Russell Brand, the Wall Street Journal targeting Ken Paxton, the New York Post doing push-polls to prop up DeSantis, and Fox News doing the passive aggressive thing to support the Never Trump coalition. The bloom is off the ruse, and people can see through these nonsense press releases.

NEW YORK – Fox News executive chair Rupert Murdoch will transition from his role overseeing the Fox Corporation and News Corp boards, he announced Thursday morning.

Lachlan Murdoch, Rupert’s eldest son, will serve as the sole executive at the helm of the media empire, he wrote in a note to the company’s staff. The 92-year-old businessman will stay on as chair emeritus at Fox and News, he said.

[…] “For my entire professional life, I have been engaged with news and ideas, and that will not change,” Murdoch wrote. “But the time is right for me to take on different roles, knowing that we have truly talented teams and a passionate, principled leader in Lachlan.”

Murdoch didn’t further specify the reasons for stepping down, but noted that he’s in good health.

“I am truly proud of what we have achieved collectively through the decades, and I owe much to my colleagues, whose contributions to our success have sometimes been unseen outside the company but are deeply appreciated by me,” he wrote. “In my new role, I can guarantee you that I will be involved every day in the contest of ideas.” (more)

If you want to see his next set of moves, watch the lead up to, and the outcome of, the Reagan Library debate.

Ray Epps Charged

Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Sep 21, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The events that occurred on January 6, 2021, were likely facilitated by the federal government to draw the public’s eye away from the election fraud that took place. It was a success as they painted Trump supporters as domestic terrorists and continue to demonize the “MAGA extremists.” Countless reports have surfaced about a man by the name of Ray Epps who is believed to be installed by the Deep State to instigate the entire Capitol breech. “I’m probably gonna go to jail for this. Tomorrow, we need to go into the Capitol,” Epps can be heard on video saying on January 5.

Epps was listed as one of the top 20 rioters on the FBI’s list, but only temporarily, as his name was scrubbed from their website. On January 8, the FBI released pictures of the men removing the barricade and asking for any information leading to their arrests. Yet, the same image was later posted with Epps photoshopped out of the picture. Ray Epps became synonymous with MAGA extremists, Qanon conspiracy theorists, and no one was allowed to question his involvement. Epps even sued Tucker Carlson when he was still affiliated with Fox for defamation. This came on the heels of Fox losing its lawsuit to Dominion for rigging election machines, making Epps’ claim even more viable.

Yet, the evidence is there that FBI agents were on the ground. In the video above, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) questioned Jill Sanborn, Executive Assistant Director, National Security Branch of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. “I can’t answer that,” Sanborn replied to every question. Sanborn refused to say whether Epps was an FBI agent. Her silence should tell us all we need to know. This is why the public has lost all trust in the government.

Was Epps charged with instigating the riot? No. He was simply charged with one count of disorderly conduct. The FBI already knew he was present, and they have spent the past three years arresting absolutely everyone involved. So why, three years later, would the FBI slap one of the most vocal proponents for entering the Capitol with a misdemeanor? It seems information is going to come to light and the FBI is covering its tracks now. They admit he was there but will they admit he was acting on behalf of the Democrats and the Deep State?

Tucker Carlson Interviews Texas AG Ken Paxton

Posted originally on the CTH on September 21, 2023 | Sundance

This is really a good interview. Texas AG Ken Paxton shares the details of how the fraudulent impeachment process was created out of thin air and then launched against him by Democrats and Karl Rove/Bush Republicans in Texas. The process explanation is blood boiling, and yet Paxton was gagged from speaking about it throughout the impeachment effort.

Tucker Carlson spends a lot of time asking questions about the origination of the impeachment effort, and during the interview Paxton outlines the legal challenges he was bringing against specific interests, Big Pharma, Google and Joe Biden, that led to the merge of Democrats and Texas Republicans trying to take him out. It’s a remarkable and eye-opening interview. WATCH:

Georgia DA Court Filing – Attorney Lin Wood Is State Witness Against President Trump and Other Defendants

Posted originally on the CTH on September 20, 2023 | Sundance

A remarkable discovery inside a court motion today in Georgia. In the case against President Trump and 19 codefendants, District Attorney Fani Willis files a lengthy notice of conflict of interest against several defense attorneys in the case {SEE FILING HERE}.

Essentially, the issue is that several defense attorneys for the defendants also represented state witnesses in other legal matters involving the Georgia election in 2020. Within one of the notices given, Fani Willis notes well-known lawyer Lin Wood was a participating lawyer with Sidney Powell & others and is now a potential state witness against them.

{Source Document}

Fulton County prosecutors are essentially trying to remove lawyers from representing clients, by using conflicts of interest they are creating by making witnesses out of their peer lawyers who sued the state over 2020 election issues. It’s a Lawfare tactic also being used by Jack Smith in Florida; however, in this example the extent of the Lin Wood cooperation with the prosecution is unknown.

Lin Wood previously worked with Sidney Powell and Lt Gen Michael Flynn, until there was some kind of falling out. Lin Wood retreated from cases related to election issues and has now apparently been enlisted by Fani Willis as a state witness against the team he previously supported.

A remarkable change from this…. On November 18, 2020, Attorney L Lin Wood filed a motion within Georgia for an emergency injunction to halt the certification of the state election until resolution of numerous false ballots and ballot counting issues were reconciled. [Full Motion with Exhibits Here] Now he is a witness against his prior team.

DOJ Gives Ray Epps the James Wolfe Treatment – Charged with One Misdemeanor Count, With Background Plea Deal in Place AND James Boasberg as the Pre-Selected Judge

Posted originally on the CTH on September 20, 2023 | Sundance

The man who was seen on multiple video tapes urging the January 6th crowd to storm the Capitol building, the previously well-known agent provocateur Ray Epps, has been charged by the DOJ with one misdemeanor count of “Disorderly or Disruptive Conduct.”

Worse still, the announcement from Main Justice comes via the format of an “information” {SEE HERE} which implies a plea deal was already reached as the charge was made public. Now the DOJ can say they ‘arrested‘ the guy, and simultaneously flip the narrative as evidence he wasn’t a confidential human source.

This velvet glove arrangement bears striking similarity to the DOJ approach when Senate Intelligence Committee head of security, James Wolfe, leaked the Top-Secret Carter Page FISA application, and was only charged with one count of lying to the FBI about it. {Go Deep} But wait… it gets better. The pre-selected DC judge is none other than, James Boasberg. {Go Deep} You just can’t make this stuff up folks.

WASHINGTON — Ray Epps, a Jan. 6 participant whose removal from the FBI’s Capitol Violence webpage sparked conspiracy theories that he was a federal informant, was charged in connection with the Capitol attack on Tuesday.

Epps is charged with one misdemeanor count, disorderly or disruptive conduct on restricted grounds. He was charged by information, suggesting that he plans to enter a plea deal. Not long after he was charged, a virtual plea agreement hearing was set for Wednesday, Sept. 20 before Chief Judge James Boasberg. (read more)

He doesn’t even have to show up in court for the DOJ to have Judge Boasberg rubber stamp the issue.

What if Joe Biden Dies?

Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Sep 18, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Someone recently asked what would happen if Joe Biden happened to die leading up to the election. The answer is not as simple as Kamala becoming president, but it all depends on when he hypothetically dies. The majority of states have a filing deadline of January 1, 2024. If any potential presidential candidate dies between New Year’s Day and June 2024, states may postpone primaries and allow new candidates to enter the race.

If a candidate dies between the middle of June 2024 and the primaries, their party would need to re-select a candidate to put forth. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is permitted to personally select the winner of their convention if the previous winner can no longer run. This happened in 1972 when George McGovern’s running mate, Senator Tom Eagleton, was forced to pull out of the race. Sargent Shriver was then selected by McGovern to replace Eagleton but had to receive the full support of the DNC first. So, the party can bypass state, constitutional, and federal law to install their nominee. The Republicans and Democrats have different rules for doing so.

In the event that a president-elect dies after election day but before their inauguration, Constitutional law takes over. Section 3 of the 20^th Amendment states: “If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President.”

The 2024 US Presidential Election will not be fair. They need a Deep State puppet, but the people want an anti-establishment candidate. Joe Biden is not even campaigning because he’s the likely shoo-in. However, due to his declining health, many are questioning if he could physically serve and no one on either side wants Harris to be president. There are sinister ways for the DNC to select a new candidate who is not currently campaigning and nothing seems to be off the table for 2024.

Tony Buzbee Discusses Background of Sham Impeachment Effort Against AG Ken Paxton

Posted originally on the CTH on September 17, 2023 | Sundance

Do not let it escape your notice that not a single professional Republican entity has stood up to show their support for Texas AG Ken Paxton or congratulate him on the clear and decisive impeachment victory against the corrupt UniParty system in the Lone Star state. Not a word from The Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA), or any other professional Republican group.

Instead, only President Donald Trump and the overwhelming majority of the MAGA base have stood strong with Paxton – before, during and after the smear campaign to remove him. Keep this BIG UGLY data point in mind. On the federal side, with Obama-Biden flooding the border with illegal aliens, Ken Paxton was considered a threat from both the White House and the Texas Governor, Greg Abbott.

This weekend, Ken Paxton’s awesome attorney, Tony Buzbee, appeared for a Fox News interview, after the impeachment trial, to discuss the background motives and issues that led to the ridiculous effort. WATCH:

Schumer’s First AI Conference Sets Goal of 2024 Election, With Big Tech Embracing Govt Regulation

Posted originally on the CTH on September 17, 2023 | Sundance

According to recent media report, the Senator Chuck Schumer led AI insight forum that included tech industry leaders: Google CEO Sundar Pichai; Tesla, X and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk; NVIDIA President Jensen Huang; Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg; technologist and Google alum Eric Schmidt; OpenAI CEO Sam Altman; and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.

Additionally, representatives from labor and civil rights advocacy groups which included: AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler, Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights President and CEO Maya Wiley, and AI accountability researcher Deb Raji. The group was joined by a list of prominent AI executives, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.

Notably absent from the Sept 13th forum was anyone with any real-world experience that is not a beneficiary of government spending. This is not accidental. Technocracy advances regardless of the citizen impact. Technocrats advance their common interests, not the interests of the ordinary citizen.

That meeting comes after DHS established independent guidelines we previously discussed {GO DEEP}.

DHS’ AI task force is coordinating with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency on how the department can partner with critical infrastructure organizations “on safeguarding their uses of AI and strengthening their cybersecurity practices writ large to defend against evolving threats.”

Remember, in addition to these groups assembling, the Dept of Defense (DoD) will now conduct online monitoring operations, using enhanced AI to protect the U.S. internet from “disinformation” under the auspices of national security. {link}

So, the question becomes, what was Chuck Schumer’s primary reference for this forum?

(FED NEWS) […] Schumer said that tackling issues around AI-generated content that is fake or deceptive that can lead to widespread misinformation and disinformation was the most time-sensitive problem to solve due to the upcoming 2024 presidential election.

[…] The top Democrat in the Senate said there was much discussion during the meeting about the creation of a new AI agency and that there was also debate about how to use some of the existing federal agencies to regulate AI.

South Dakota Sen. Mike Rounds, Schumer’s Republican counterpart in leading the bipartisan AI forums, said: “We’ve got to have the ability to provide good information to regulators. And it doesn’t mean that every single agency has to have all of the top-end, high-quality of professionals but we need that group of professionals who can be shared across the different agencies when it comes to AI.”

Although there were no significant voluntary commitments made during the first AI insight forum, tech leaders who participated in the forum said there was much debate around how open and transparent AI developers and those using AI in the federal government will be required to be. (read more)

There isn’t anything that is going to stop the rapid deployment of AI in the tech space. However, for the interests of the larger American population, the group unrepresented in the forum, is the use of AI to identify, control, and impede information distribution that is against the interests of the government and the public-private partnership the technocrats are assembling.

The words “disinformation” and “deep fakes” are as disingenuous as the term “Patriot Act.” The definitions of disinformation and deep fakes are where the government regulations steps in using their portals into Big Tech to identify content on platforms that is deemed in violation.

It doesn’t take a deep political thinker to predict that memes and video segments against the interests of the state will be defined for removal.

This battlespace is only just now getting prepped, and I can guarantee you that few websites and alternative media outlets have any idea what is likely to happen; let alone the foresight to prepare their infrastructure to withstand the outcomes of the government determinations.

Remember, throughout this process the coordination is filled with plausible deniability, where outcomes from the tech space are justified by saying the platform control agents didn’t have any choice. Worse still, most of the advanced AI will be fully automated, providing even more plausible deniability and legal issue avoidance.

The corporations like Vanguard and Blackrock will ultimately be in the background, shaping the guidance of government policy to their own interests. The flow of information, and the ability of information consumers to locate it, is likely to be determined within this public-private network of aligned interests.

Watch carefully how this rolls out and look for the tell-tale signs of content control.

If you didn’t understand why we needed Godzilla Trump before, you will soon…
