DHS Begins Internal Investigation to Identify Dangerous Employees with Patriotic Perspectives, aka “Domestic Extremists”


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on April 26, 2021 | Sundance | 213 Comments

The internal investigation by JoeBama’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) serves two purposes.  [Memo Link Here]  First, it will identify anyone with nationalist outlooks and/or ‘America First’ ideology; in essence it will identify JoeBama’s political enemies (those that didn’t vote for Biden).

Second, it will send a chill through the ranks within all DHS agencies to quiet any dissent to the approved leftist approach (the DHS political agenda).  This is essentially putting DHS through the same process previously deployed against the FBI during Robert Mueller and James Comey’s terms. Eliminate any and all opposition to the JoeBama agenda.

(Memo Link – DHS Announcement and Notification)

As the notification from DHS explains, the investigation is already underway (See Here)  “At the direction of the Secretary, a cross-Departmental working group comprised of senior officials will immediately begin a comprehensive review of how to best prevent, detect, and respond to threats related to domestic violent extremism within DHS. This internal team, which will be led by the Department’s Chief Security Officer, will produce a report with recommendations for the Secretary on how best to identify and respond to threats.”

It doesn’t take a deep political thinker to understand exactly what DHS is attempting to do.  They need to cement as many leftists, communists and radical left-wing perspectives as quickly as possible.  To accomplish this they need to remove any internal opposition to the plan.

Remember, DHS runs just about everything you encounter now with federal law enforcement, including Transportation Safety Administration.  This internal purge is needed in order to support a fully weaponized police state.  [Insert COVID passport here]

They have already announced similar programs being deployed against Americans; and the FBI is currently promoting the incarceration of anyone suspected of attending the January 6th DC rally.  This effort by DHS is more of the same…

And don’t forget the United States Postal Service is also operating their own investigation into Americans, using their technical capability and their own police force… Now tie today’s announcement with: “DHS Preparing to Use Private Contractors to “Scour Public Data and Social Media” To Compile Dissident Citizens for Watch List and No Fly Lists“…. what is described in the Yahoo article about the USPS; and what is described in the DHS memo; is almost identical to what we previously outlined.

Yahoo –  The law enforcement arm of the U.S. Postal Service has been quietly running a program that tracks and collects Americans’ social media posts, including those about planned protests, according to a document obtained by Yahoo News.

The details of the surveillance effort, known as iCOP, or Internet Covert Operations Program, have not previously been made public. The work involves having analysts trawl through social media sites to look for what the document describes as “inflammatory” postings and then sharing that information across government agencies.  (read more)

Now compare that description to what we previously outlined:

Treehouse – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is now getting ready to hire public companies, individual contractors outside government, to scour public data and social media in order to provide information for the new “domestic terror watch lists.”  From the description it appears DHS is going to pay “big tech” (Google, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, SnapChat, Twitter, etc.), via contracts, to hire and organize internal monitoring teams to assist the government by sending information on citizens they deem “dangerous.”  (read more)

The Treehouse citation included the following NBC article.

[…] DHS is planning to expand its relationships with companies that scour public data for intelligence, one of the senior officials said, and also to better harness the vast trove of data it already collects on Americans, including travel and commercial data through Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Coast Guard, the Secret Service and other DHS components.

…It’s all part of the same program, with the same intents.

Liz Cheney Prepares For Life After Getting Primaried Next Year – Considers a Run for President in 2024


Posted originally on the conservative tree house April 26, 2021 | Sundance | 160 Comments

Liz Cheney is the Adam Kinzinger of Jeff Flakes…. The Wyoming representative has exposed her DeceptiCon credentials beyond any hope of recovery.  Her opposition to President Trump and the base sentiment within the pragmatic conservative movement has sealed her fate.  Despite her leadership position in congress the establishement know she is a lame-duck walking.

Liz Cheney’s upcoming defeat in the 2022 primary is a foregone conclusion.  Put a fork in her, she’s done.  Cheney knows this.  The RNC know this.  The GOPe and DeceptiCon leadership know this, and quite a few democrats who support her know this.  That is the accurate background for this statement:

ORLANDO — House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney is not ruling out a potential presidential bid, The Post has learned.

“I’m not ruling anything in or out — ever is a long time,” she told The Post when asked if she would ever consider running in the future. 

The Wyoming Republican — who has been a frequent target of former President Donald Trump — said there are a number of contenders she sees as having potential for the 2024 nomination, adding that she believes the lawmakers who led the efforts on challenging the election on Jan. 6 should be out of the running. (read more)

The hypothesis of Liz Cheney running for president is beyond silly.  Like how?  Liz Cheney and Nikki Haley are going to split the 3 to 4 percent of the DeceptiCon base?  Perhaps add Evan McMullin to the ticket?  Yeah, good luck with that…. I’ve got two words for ya, and they ain’t Merry Christmas.

What we need to watch out for, and seriously anticipate, are Democrats in Wyoming voting for her.  (Same with Murkowski in Alaska)

Should Zuckerberg & Facebook be Shut Down?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Uncategorized Re-Posted Apr 26, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Facebook deleted 120,000 member group where people posted stories of alleged adverse vaccine reactions. I have stated before that I worked on Capitol Hill trying to make a difference both on taxation and converting Social Security into a wealth fund that actually invested instead of just buying government debt. I met with Dick Army, the House Majority Leader from 1995 to 2003. I was working to try to forge a compromise between Dick Army who was the champion of the Flat Tax and Bill Archer who was behind the Retain Sales Tax.

I was sitting in Dick’s office as he had his feet on the desk in his cowboy boots. He finally said to me that I knew cycles, and he could not support a retail sales tax without a Constitutional Amendment. As he pointed out when the cycle changed and the Democrats seized Congress, we would have both income and a sales tax. It was then and there I realized he was right. All my efforts were just a waste of time. The cycle would clearly change even before a constitutional amendment could be voted on by the states.

This is what Big Tech fails to understand. The cycle will flip and everything they have done to oppress all opposition will only lead to retribution. Their ruthless behavior will probably lead to them one day being dragged into the streets and killed. The Chinese would burn such people alive in the square. The French sent them all to beheaded.

Even the CDC is keeping track of all those impacted by the vaccines. So why is Facebook trying to pretend any side-effect must be suppressed. This is outright treason against the people and it is no different than the actions of the Nazis. This is not going to end nicely.

Civil War is Coming – GLOBALLY


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Apr 26, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

https://videopress.com/v/NuWVmG6u?preloadContent=metadata

I have been in political meetings over the weekend. I cannot stress strongly enough that there are cracks appearing in this Great Reset Agenda. While Klaus Schwab’s evil dreams of redesigning the world may be spearheaded by corruption, bribes, and influence, the end goal is really not that distant from the Communist Revolutions and those of Adolf Hitler. Schwab may not command armies, but he has infiltrated just about every government to varying degrees. His little video shows his disregard for human life and everything to him is the environment with the fewer humans to muck-it-up the better.

I have been warning that historical research shows that if you turn the police and the military against the government and defend the people and their human rights, then such tyranny will always fall. While we are not yet at that point, the tide is turning. Not that the police and army will completely switch sides and provide the bloodless revolution, but what we are starting to see is the fragmentation of the military on a global scale.

The suffering in Europe has been far greater than that in the United States. In France, a host of military generals have penned a letter to President Macron that they can see the fermentation of civil war gaining support. Even in California, police were refusing to enforce the governor’s curfew back in 2020.  Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, created the Forum of Young Global Leaders in 2004 to control and indoctrinate young world leaders pushing his anti-freedom message. Annalena Baerbock in Germany is now being groomed to replaced Merkel and she is a member of Schwab’s Forum of Young Global Leaders.

Europe is totally in the hand of Klaus Schwab. Europe nows says it will be allowed only vaccinated Americans to travel to Europe. Everything has changed. Even the Oscars have been dreading this year. Those who have watched other award shows have collapsed by about 60%. The first Oscar Event was on May 16, 1929, so they have hit a 92-year low. Tourism is also going to be dead. I for one, have resolved myself that I will never again see Europe. What used to be – is no more. As this sinks in, frustration will rise to violence on a grand scale.

They say there was no real mass shooting waves under Trump who was pro-2nd Amendment and now there is a contagion of mass shootings under Biden who is anti-2nd Amendment. The real reason is the lockdowns and the massive loss of jobs and expectations for the future.

Meanwhile, inflation is rising everywhere. The shortage in chips has caused the production of new cars to move into crash mode.

NEVER in my wildest dreams did I personally ever expect that this insane agenda to actually redesign the world economy by destroying it first and then Build Back Better would have ever been entertained by intelligent people. Make no mistake about it, this slogan being used by world leaders come from Schwab and it was being used one year before COVID at the start of 2019 in Davos. This simply reminds me that Einstein was correct in his view of human intelligence.

Sunday Talks, Newsmax Interviews Republican Party of Arizona Dr. Kelli Ward to Discuss Status of Arizona Ballot Audit


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on April 25, 2021 | Sundance | 84 Comments

Arizona Republican Party Chairwoman Dr. Kelli Ward appears with Newsmax TV to discuss the status of the Maricopa county ballot audit.  Rob Schmitt asks Dr. Ward what is the likely outcome for other states who are watching what happens in Arizona.

As the Chairwoman notes they are looking at digitally adjudicated ballots (pollworkers determining voter intent) as well as the mailing system, voting machines, software, hardware, physical ballots, voting logs; “we are looking at everything.”  Dr. Ward also notes no-one is certain what will be the outcome for Arizona or any other state that may initiate a similar audit; however, the overall goal of voting integrity will remain a priority.

Maricopa Arizona Auditors Off Today, Resume Ballot Audit Tomorrow – Video Update


Posted originally on the conservative tree house April 25, 2021 | Sundance | 176 Comments

The people auditing the Maricopa County, Arizona, ballots are off today.  The Veterans Memorial Coliseum CCTV system remains active [SEE HERE]  as a public security and integrity issue.

Additionally, THIS is the official page of the Arizona Senate Liaison for the Maricopa County Election audit. “Under the direction of The Honorable Ken Bennett, former Arizona Secretary of State, an audit is underway to ensure transparency and integrity in the Maricopa County, AZ 2020 election audit.”

The audit itself must be triggering a concern for the media as they started today accusing any audit supporters of being conspiracy theorists.  The AP Headline: “Election conspiracies live on with audit by Arizona GOP”

“PHOENIX (AP) — Months after former President Donald Trump’s election defeat, legislative Republicans in Arizona are challenging the outcome as they embark on an unprecedented effort to audit the results in the state’s most populous county.

[…] The process is alarming election professionals who fear the auditors are not up to the complex task and will severely undermine faith in democracy.” (more)

Obviously, in typical Alinsky fashion, the intent of the AP narrative is to isolate, ridicule and marginalize supporters of the Maricopa audit.

Meanwhile, below is a video update on this Arizona issue which includes a passionate speech by Bobby Piton who wrote a letter to the Democrats and Republicans in the Arizona State Senate.

Sunday Talks, Rand Paul Discusses Big Picture Ramifications From Current JoeBama Policy


Posted originally on the conservative tree house April 25, 2021 | Sundance | 137 Comments

Senator Rand Paul appears on Maria Bartiromo to discuss the ongoing ramification from current leftist policy as being produced on Capitol Hill.  The interview begins with Senator Paul discussing the leftist definitions of ‘infrastructure’ and how left-wing groups are beneficiaries of trillions of taxpayer funds.

On the economic ramifications Senator Paul notes the impact of massive capital gains increases and how increasing corporate income taxes only provides incentives for national companies to establish themselves overseas to avoid tax liability.  The multinational corps, those already positioned overseas, do not have the same risk exposure to corporate tax increases, thus they do not oppose legislation that hurts national business and small U.S. corporations.

Overall the points made by Rand Paul are all valid; however, those in DC still hold back from pointing out the intent of the JoeBama group – that’s frustrating.  This game where incompetence is claimed under the guise of ‘benefit of doubt’ is a severe weakness within the GOP.  The refusal to aggressively confront Obama 3.0 is beyond frustrating.

Anyone who believes Democrats own exclusive opposition to the America First principles are completely ignoring the deliberate construct of the republican party.  There are just as many -if not more- natural enemies within the Republican apparatus as there are within the Democrat group. “America-First” is antithetical to the UniParty.

The frustration amid the MAGA community is valid.  Everything about it is righteous.  The mechanisms that run the system in DC must be deconstructed if we are to win the battles and the war against this massive enemy.  We have the largest coalition of American patriots on our side; however, there are only a handful of representatives willing to confront with the needed ferocity.

Multinationals want control; some call that corporatism…. but the names are moot. Multinationals want control, and capitalism does not allow them control; that is why multinationals do not want capitalism. Multinationals use lobbyists to generate regulations that stall competition.

Multinationals do not want competition; they are, by nature of their interest, anti-capitalists.

This misunderstanding is everywhere.

Most people think when they vote for a federal politician -a House or Senate representative- they are voting for a person who will go to Washington DC and write or enact legislation. This is the old-fashioned “schoolhouse rock” perspective based on decades past.

There is not a single person in congress writing legislation or laws. In modern politics not a single member of the House of Representatives or Senator writes a law, or puts pen to paper to write out a legislative construct. This simply doesn’t happen.

Over the past several decades a system of constructing legislation has taken over Washington DC that more resembles a business operation than a legislative body.

The for-profit groups (mostly multinational corporations) have a purpose in Washington DC to shape policy, legislation and laws favorable to their interests. They have fully staffed offices just like any business would – only their ‘business‘ is getting legislation for their unique interests.

These groups are filled with highly-paid lawyers who represent the interests of the entity and actually write laws and legislation briefs.

In the modern era this is actually the origination of the laws that we eventually see passed by congress. Within the walls of these buildings within Washington DC is where the ‘sausage’ is actually made.  Again, no elected official is usually part of this law origination process.

Almost all legislation created is not ‘high profile’, they are obscure changes to current laws, regulations or policies that no-one pays attention to.  The passage of the general bills within legislation is not covered in media.  Ninety-nine percent of legislative activity happens without anyone outside the system even paying any attention to it.

Once the corporation (multinational) or representative organizational entity has written the law they want to see passed – they hand it off to the lobbyists.

The lobbyists are people who have deep contacts within the political bodies of the legislative branch, usually former House/Senate staff or former House/Senate politicians themselves.

The lobbyist takes the written brief, the legislative construct, and it’s their job to go to congress and sell it.  “Selling it” means finding politicians who will accept the brief, sponsor their bill and eventually get it to a vote and passage.

Corporations (special interest group) write the legislation. Lobbyists take the law and go find politician(s) to support it. Politicians get support from their peers using tenure and status etc. Eventually, if things go according to norm, the legislation gets a vote.

Within every step of the process there are expense account lunches, dinners, trips, venue tickets and a host of other customary financial way-points to generate/leverage a successful outcome. The amount of money spent is proportional to the benefit derived from the outcome.

The important part to remember is that the origination of the entire process is EXTERNAL to congress.

Congress does not write laws or legislation, special interest groups do. Lobbyists are paid, some very well paid, to get politicians to go along with the need of the legislative group. When a House or Senate member becomes educated on the intent of the legislation, they have attended the sales pitch; and when they find out the likelihood of support for that legislation; they can then position their own (or their families) financial interests to benefit from the consequence of passage. It is a process similar to insider trading on Wall Street, except the trading is based on knowing who will benefit from a legislative passage.

When we understand the business of DC, we understand the difference between legislation with a traditional purpose and modern legislation with a financial and political agenda.

If you know a better solution to this mess than repeal of the 17th amendment, I am all ears.

If, as the constitution outlined, the Senate were still a place where all legislation required a 2/3 majority for passage; and if, as the constitution outlined, the Senate were a body filled with representatives selected by State Houses instead of popular election – then perhaps Senators could not be purchased by multinational interests.  Alas it is not.

Passage of the 17th amendment took away the very intentional roadblock of the Republican framework that Jefferson spoke of when he called it a saucer to cool the hot emotional tea of short-sighted legislation.  The constitution outlined consent as “two-thirds” (66), which was progressively watered down to become “three-fifths” (60) as the majority rule; and substantively, as it now stands according to democrats objectives, one-half plus one (51).

We are on the precipice and the GOP operate as if the constitution burning can be restored if they just reach across the aisle more.

Raul Castro Steps Down


Posted originally on APR 17, 2021 AT 10:58 AM

Watch Out For That First Step- It’s A Doozy!

Most communist leaders hang onto office into advanced old age for one reason: They love power.

Mao wasn’t afraid of death, but he was afraid of losing his power. Stalin was the same way. Raul Castro is one of the few communists to voluntarily step down, but after all…he is 89 years old. He’s close to stepping down into a grave.

He represents nearly six decades of communist tyranny in Cuba. Many Cubans would love to shake loose of the communist grip, and while they’re certainly spirited enough to do it, they lack a very important means to accomplish it: Fidel Castro confiscated all their firearms long ago. Then he confiscated their votes, their property, and their lives.

We Americans need to take a lesson from oppressed citizens in all countries that embraced socialism.

We must never give up our guns.

Executive Order Canceling the Constitution


American Thinker

Re-Posted from American Thinker on April 20,2021 By Leo Goldstein

I have added this note to clarify why this was done. The deep state wants to cancel our real president Donald J. Trump so what they have done is create a false narrative about a revolution by White supremacists taking over the country by an armed assault on the capital on January 6, 2021. With this executive order they could declare trump the leader of the rebellion and therefor a domestic terrorist and seize all his and his spouses and kids assets!

On April 15, Preident Biden signed an Executive Order on Blocking Property with Respect to Specified Harmful Foreign Activities of the Government of the Russian Federation. Contrary to its title, this EO is not about Russia. It is designed to allow the Biden administration to deprive American citizens and organizations of their rights and property by arbitrarily linking those persons to real, imagined, or vaguely defined activities of the Russian government.

The Biden administration unilaterally makes the determination and requires neither criminal acts nor intent. The punishment is blocking assets and a prohibition on any dealing with the accused person. Spouses and adult children of individuals found guilty by accusation under this EO are punished, too.

The EO was preceded by some distracting maneuvers, both diplomatic (hostile rhetoric toward Russia) and military (sending naval ships toward the Black Sea and recalling them back, as if dealing with Russian threats). Thus, many people assumed that the EO was directed at Russia, and completely missed the fact that it is directed at dissent here, at home. 

Over the past four years, the Democrat Party, Fake News, and Big Tech have been frequently portraying their opponents as Russian trolls or Russian misinformation operators. The Russian collusion narrative, initially invented to overthrow the Trump administration, has been used to smear many conservative movements. Now this effort has been crowned by an Executive Order. 

Biden’s administration has been recently pushing so many other radical changes, such as packing the Supreme Court, eliminating the filibuster, restricting Second Amendment rights, etc., that the real ramifications of this new EO went completely unnoticed. In my opinion, this EO is the most dangerous of them all. It allows the Biden regime to eliminate its opposition, quickly and quietly.

Section 1 of the EO enumerates prohibited activities and defines guilty persons as those “determined” by the Secretary of Treasury and/or Secretary of State in consultation with the Attorney General to be:

(a)(ii) responsible for or complicit in, or to have directly or indirectly engaged or attempted to engage in, any of the following for or on behalf of, or for the benefit of, directly or indirectly, the Government of the Russian Federation: 

(A)  malicious cyber-enabled activities;

(B)  interference in a United States or other foreign government election;

(C)  actions or policies that undermine democratic processes or institutions in the United States or abroad; 

(D)  transnational corruption;

Some of the language in this EO borrows from another: EO-13224 – Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten To Commit, or Support Terrorism. George W. Bush signed EO-13224 on September 23, 2001, in response to 9/11.

However, Biden’s EO is as similar to Bush’s EO as an atomic bomb is to a sniper rifle. Bush’s EO targeted financing terrorism. It defined terrorism clearly and narrowly. It minimized legal jeopardy to US persons. It did not strip away the standard for criminal liability requirements of action and intent. It did not target spouses or children of accused individuals. Additionally, Bush made a legally meaningful promise to use it with due regard to culpability and the Bush administration used it with restraint. Even so, Democrats criticized it harshly, opposed it, and fought it in courts.

In contrast, Biden’s new EO is directed mostly at US persons. It criminalizes speech and political activities, based on whimsical and arbitrary definitions. The Biden administration can define “malicious activities,” “democratic processes or institutions,” and the activities that undermine them as it wants. 

The Biden administration is also free to interpret what constitutes “interests of the Russian Government.” Such broad and vague language allows the Biden regime to select US citizens and political organizations arbitrarily, and then deprive them of their property and rights without anything reminiscent of due process. The EO does not even require that anybody commit an actual crime somewhere. False cyber-attribution or fake bounty claims are sufficient. Biden’s remarks to the EO showed no regard to the culpability of any targeted US citizens or other persons.

Leftist pseudo-elites have been eager to ban speech based on allegations that such speech may be beneficial to Russia. Such ideation has been present among Big Tech influencers for a long time. This EO effectively gives Big Tech, banks, and credit card companies a new pretext to deplatform conservatives and anyone else who opposes the Biden regime by claiming that they are now engaged in illegal activity. 

Biden’s EO appears to allow the Democrat party to deny Americans the right to advocate against it in future federal elections. This might be accomplished through a “determination” that Russia is interfering in elections against democratic candidates. Thus, any US citizens who also oppose Democrats could be found to acting for Russia’s benefit, directly or indirectly. 

The list of prohibited activities justifying a Biden administration “determination” to deprive American persons of their property and other rights (referred to here as a “Deprived Person”) states:

       [a] (iii) to be or have been a leader, official, senior executive officer, or member of the board of directors of:
           …   (C)  an entity whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order;

For comparison, Bush’s EO only covered the leaders of terrorist-supporting entities, not multiple officials, executives, or directors.

Unprecedently, Biden’s EO targets children and spouses:

[a] (v)    to be a spouse or adult child of any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to subsection (a)(ii) or (iii) of this section;

and countless associations:

[a] (vi)   to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of:

(A)  any activity described in subsection (a)(ii) of this section; or

(B)  any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order …

[a] (vii) to be owned or controlled by, or to have acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, … any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order.

Notice the infinite reach these subsections afford. Those connected to a “Deprived Person” can receive the same designation, and so on. There is no limit to the number of iterations. 

“Deprived Persons” essentially become untouchables, as dealing with them in any way is expressly prohibited without additional determinations:

Sec. 2.  The prohibitions in section 1 of this order include:

(a)  the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; and

(b)  the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person.

Giving legal representation, hosting the website, selling food, and giving medical care to a “Deprived Person” is automatically prohibited. Section 4 prohibits transactions that “cause a violation” of this EO, even absent intent or knowledge. This serves as a hint to pre-emptively cut ties with anyone the Biden regime targets.

Section 9 exempts UN bodies and “related organizations” (NGOs) from any responsibility for interfering in US elections and other activities under this order.

The Russian Federation is mixed into the EO only for distraction and as a primer, triggering expanding layers of culpability. 

I do not expect any putative human rights organizations or large media outlets to hold the Biden regime accountable for how it applies this EO or to defend its victims. So far, these outlets have either ignored it or defended it.
