Will Epstein Case with Maxwell Go Beyond just Sex?


 

The real question is what is going on in this case? Are prosecutors going to limit this to just sex? Or will they look at this for real that Epstein was using the underage girls for the purpose of blackmailing high profile people? The connection of Maxwell’s father to “the club” would open a lot of doors including the attempt to blackmail even Yeltsin. Somehow I suspect that would never happen because it would lead to the Clinton’s deal with the bankers.

Kalamity Kamala a Calamity for America


Kamala won’t be Biden’s VP. Biden will be Kamala’s president only if she gets up in a good enough mood to give him permission

Kalamity Kamala a Calamity for America

Calamity Jane was a frontier heroine in the mid-19th century who during an uprising in 1872, saved a Captain Egan from certain death, whereupon he told her: “I name you Calamity Jane, the heroine of the plains.”

This is in stark contrast to Kalamity Kamala of 21st century America, who would accelerate the downfall of our Democratic Republic in the unlikely event of a Biden-Kalamity win on November 3rd.

Why? Because Biden and Kalamity are promising to resurrect the failed policies of the Obama years, and inflict even more damage on America the Beautiful.

According to author and television host Mark Levin, although the media are rushing to portray California’s junior senator as a moderate, nothing could be further from the truth.
She is the “most extremist radical politician ever to run for high office” in the U.S.A., Levin states, even “farther left than 97% of the Democrats in the U.S. Senate,” even “left of avowed Marxist Democratic socialist Bernie Sanders.”

Levin and his guest attorney Mark Pulliam provided several examples. Kalamity Kamala, they said:

  • Rejects a physical wall on the Southern border.
  • Compared ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service) to the Ku Klux Klan.
  • Believes in government-run health care for illegal aliens.
  • Believes in the elimination of private health care.
  • Believes in the Green New Deal which would bankrupt our country.
  • Wants to repeal the president’s tax cuts for the middle class.
  • Wants to massively increase taxes on all Americans.

When it comes to support for Jewish issues in America as well as support for Israel, the estimable Daniel Greenfield in his powerful article, The Democrat Party is Getting Rid of Jews, has a warning:

“Obama and Harris both signed off on Iran’s nuclear program and the flow of money to terrorists.” In addition, “While Harris has been depicted as a moderate, her chief of staff, Karine Jean-Pierre, was the national spokeswoman and senior adviser for MoveOn, the radical group [with] a long history of trafficking in anti-Semitism and attacking the Jewish State.”

And, Greenfield reminds us, Kalamity Kamala is a full-throated supporter of the virulently anti-Semitic members of the so-called “Squad”––Cong. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Cong. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Cong. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Cong. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and all the others who avidly support both the Boycott-Divest-Sanction (BDS) movement to destroy Israel economically and to deny foreign aid to America’s staunchest ally in the Middle East.

In a chilling but all-too-credible warning, Greenfield says that “Jewish Democrats who imagine that Israel is the problem are about to learn they’re the problem.”

CENSORSHIP TO THE RESCUE

Clearly, the Democrat Party poohbahs recognize the liability Kalamity Kamala poses to a November victory and so, according to reporter Andrew Stiles of the Washington Free Beacon, an active campaign involving Democrat Party operatives like Obama handler Valerie Jarrett, Regressive activists, and all of the predictable media whores are declaring that any criticism of her be off limits.

The long list of words the media is forbidden to use include, among others: “ambitious,” “angry,” “unlikeable,” and “unqualified.” Don’t report on the “heritage” of non-white candidates is another directive, and don’t publish unflattering images.

And to anyone who does these sinful things, the self-appointed guardians of the Biden-Kalamity Censorship Committee are advised to use the magic formula: Cry “racist”––and then throw in “sexist”!

All of us can see the pitiful cognitive decline of Mr. Biden. But wasn’t Kamala chosen to cover for him, to be his pit bull, to prove to people she was capable of taking her seat in the Oval Office––unfortunately when and not if Biden’s rapid decline continues?

Now this committee is telling us that the entire Biden-Kalamity ticket is so vulnerable, indeed fragile, that it cannot withstand legitimate criticism, probing policy and personal questions, and what most of the country continues to cherish as a bedrock American value: Free Speech!

These are today’s Democrats––camouflage the ailing and failing and prettify the ambitious, angry, unlikeable and unqualified––or else!

Yet, laughably, Democrats continue to entertain the conceit that they are tolerant.

A THANK YOU IS IN ORDER

Actually, the Biden-Kalamity Censorship Committee has precedent. In 2007, a leftwing journalist named Ezra Klein formed a group called JournOlist which consisted of 400 equally leftist journalists, ostensibly to discuss politics but in fact to insult, degrade, vilify, marginalize and generally try to destroy anyone who disagreed with their largely radical points of view.

The “O” stood for the man then ascending in the political world who two years later would find himself at the pinnacle of power in the White House. One of JournOlist’s first tasks was to savage anyone who questioned Mr. Obama’s viciously anti-American and anti-Semitic pastor of 20 years, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Their magic formula was to call anyone who said or wrote anything negative about Obama a “racist.”

JournOlist members continued to hurl “racist” accusations at Obama’s critics for eight long years. What Americans learned from those overwhelmingly false charges was that weak and insecure people cave when people called them names but strong and confident people see the accusations for what they are––transparent attempts to intimidate them into silence.

Multimillions of Americans, including me, have to thank the JournOlist “strategy” because it succeeded in bringing to America the quintessentially strong and confident leader––President Donald J. Trump––who in less than four years has truly transformed our country into a flourishing Democratic Republic.

Why is that relevant today? Because President Trump recognizes that in every law, policy, philosophy, deal and strategy that Obama employed, VP Biden was right by his side, supporting every action and touting it enthusiastically on his globetrotting travels. And worse, with far-far left Kalamity Kamala now by his side, Biden’s plan to resurrect Obama’s policies would be even more extreme.

Keep that in mind when you read this brief review of what Barack Obama inflicted on our country and what President Trump fixed:

  • Obama-Biden eviscerated our military and President Trump reconstituted it to become the strongest military in the world.
  • Obama-Biden had a failed economy and chronically unemployed citizens and President Trump boosted employment to the highest levels in American history––including Black employment, Hispanic employment, women’s employment, and youth employment.
  • Obama-Biden displayed visceral antagonism to our most reliable Mideast ally and President Trump told the entire world that America stands with Israel. He recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and moved the American embassy there; recognized Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights and now forged the first deal between Israel and an Arab state in 26 years––that of the now-promising partnership between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, with more Arab states coming on board in the near future.
  • Obama-Biden’s genocidal-to-Israel deal with Iran allowed the terrorist state to develop nuclear weapons and President Trump cancelled it, although he couldn’t recoup the $150-billion in cold hard cash that Obama & Co. shipped in pallets to Iran, all while the Mullahs were promising––as they are to this very day––to wipe Israel off the map.
  • Obama-Biden continued America’s decades-long dependence on foreign oil and President Trump made America completely energy independent.

BUT, BUT, BUT…

But Kalamity Kamala is only a Vice Presidential candidate, you may say. It’s the President who formulates the policies, determines the direction of our nation, and makes the decisions. Why such a brouhaha about her?

It is not only because candidate Biden’s handlers have succeeded in moving the once-vital politician to the far left, but because the far-far left is where Kalamity Kamala lives.

In a lacerating profile of Kalamity Kamala, journalist Ixtu Diaz says that after reading thousands of pages about her, she is a woman “who boasts of instilling fear in her opponents, who despises individual freedom, and who rages at half the planet for being men or for not thinking like her.”

“But let’s not fool ourselves,” Diaz continues, “Kamala won’t be Biden’s VP. Biden will be Kamala’s president only if she gets up in a good enough mood to give him permission. She has two big things going for her: that she is a woman and that she is black––a truly extraordinary feat that has never been accomplished by anyone before.

“She certainly deserves an award, although perhaps the vice presidency of a government without a president is excessive.”

Now that would be a true calamity!

Good Grief, Goodyear is Run By Idiots…


Get woke – Go broke, strikes again.  When you consider the scale of the company and the resources available to them on branding and marketing…. one can only come to the reasonable conclusion that Goodyear is run by idiots.

(SOURCE – LINK)

On the positive side, the boycott response -which I fully support, not because of the originating stupid, but rather because I do not want tires from amplified corporate stupid on my vehicles- just shows the scale of economic backlash from average Americans.

There are more of us than them; they just control the mechanisms that allow us to communicate with each other – nothing more.  Remember that !

The Real Masters Behind the Scenes


QUESTION: Hi Martin,
I read your blog with great fascination recently as the great Covid hoax continues.
You talk about the global agenda for one world government and I sadly agree with your assessment. I do wonder though if you have an opinion on who the real masters are? David Icke calls them ‘the cult’ although he doesn’t go into details about who they really are. David appears to be off his rocker but so much of what he says makes sense and it’s easy to see how his predictions will play out in front of us. Cashless societies, massive Orwellian surveillance, electronic passports, fusion of the human race with AI and ultimately a hive-mind where humans are told what to think by their computer programs. We seem to be sleep walking into a grim future. It’s incredible how quickly we have given up our freedoms and acquiesced to the madness of lockdown in return for our ‘safety’ from the flu.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
Best regards,
PM

 

ANSWER: We have to be very careful about sticking to facts. It is when you go off into never-never-land and talk about AI hive links that you tend to then discredit the truth. I do not know David Icke and I do not read or listen to him. I have been critical of these conspiracy theories of creating a one-world government BECAUSE I do not see where it is rationally possible. That DOES NOT mean people do not believe that they can eliminate war stupidly assuming if there is only one government then it cannot declare war on itself. That is such a hair brain theory it really does not warrant more than its absurd. They never bothered to look at civil war and how countries break apart.

Just look at Europe. That has been the entire idea before the creation of the Eurozone. This is a theory elites have tried to pull off. However, that does NOT make it a plausible idea. We see Greek protests against austerity and they blame the Germans. After World War II, Greece forgave the debt Germany owed to Greece. However, with the Greek economic crisis in 2010, Germany demanded under Merkel that the GHreeks MUST pay back loans.

We have separatist movements popping up everywhere, including inside Germany North v South. We see the same split in Italy – North v South. In Spain, it is East v West (Barcelona). We see separatist movement in Belgium to split the country North v South but also along language lines – Flemish, German, French.

In the Czech Republic, there is the region of Moravia claimed by the Moravian autonomists which even includes the Silesian autonomists. In Denmark, the Bornholm region and the Faroe Islands both seek separation. In Finland, the Åland Swedes want to be autonomous. In France, there are no less than 15 separatist movements.

I do not dispute that people are trying to create a one-world government like George Soros, but our models warn that this COVID scam is not only creating a mass flight from cities, but this will only increase the intensity for separatist movements especially as Socialists keep trying to take over.

The “real masters” are not the Rockefellers and Rothschilds. They are no longer as powerful as they once were 100 years ago. Nevertheless, Bill Gates’ father was linked to the Rockefellers and their experiments on other populations along with John Hopinks University. The Rothschilds have long been replaced by Goldman Sacks which everyone I know of in the industry has long called then “Government Sacks” who infiltrates government with an endless stream of CEOs to runt the Treasury, SEC, and the CFTC. They are strategically above the law.

What is very different from this conspiracy is that politicians around the world have jumped on Bill Gates’ agenda against their own people. They have deliberately been forcing the collapse of the world economy in order to indeed redesign it from the ground up. I believe that Gates has been bribing them to achieve such a global agenda. This group is desperate to overthrow Trump because he stands in the way. Trump can’t be bribed and that is their problem. Make no mistake about it, Klaus Schwab is a key player in this agenda to destroy the world economy and rebuild it into a controlled nightmare.

 

 

Schwab and his World Economic Forum in Davos is a critical factor to influence all world politicians to accept this Gates-Schwab Agenda. Add to this George Soros and his drive to overthrow governments to forge his vision of a one-world government. This is not speculation. This is an agenda that Soros has well designed calling it his Open Society. Yet it is Schwab who has put on the line the World Economic Forum to push his Great Reset.

It has been Gates who is behind the Cashless Society pushing very hard to force everyone into his electronic database where you cannot buy or sell without his vision of digital currencies merged with his Digital ID. Because he is also a eugenic believer and sees the problem of climate because caused by overpopulation, his curious birth-control chip which can be turned on and off remotely would allow him one day to require permits to have children. That is speculation, but he has developed a chip rather than pills you cannot guarantee someone will actually take them.

Unfortunately, these people will create war and civil unrest but they will not succeed. They will probably round up everyone who opposes them and they are enticing the military elite to join them for they also would love to see world war reduce the population. Make no mistake about it, their target for that will be Syria.

Defunding the Police Movement


QUESTION: Marty; How can people actually support defunding the police? I don’t understand how any rational person can support that even when there have been incidents of police brutality.

DT

ANSWER: You have to really pick up the rug to see all the dirt and connections. This is part of this entire movement to force the elimination of all paper money and compel everyone into the digital world. There is Gate’s agenda linking his vaccines and digital IDs and then there will be passports required to even leave your home proving you are vaccinated. Then there are chips to be inserted for birth control which somehow I suspect will be subject to control by the state and a permit will be required to even have a child since Gate and his crew is obsessed with the population reduction.

There has been an ongoing drive to create robots for the military. They have been experimenting with Nanotechnology to create the next soldier. I have warned that this technology has been highly sought after. I have been asked if I would be interested in an AI project for a private contractor for the government. I politely declined. Beware the real political threat always comes from within. The future of the military and eventually police is to replace the boots on the ground with robots.

Duke Robotics has come out now with drones that carry machine-guns years ago. This video shows really the future of war and police domestically. It has been reported that China is selling its killer robots to the Middle East. These things will simply kill every human on the battlefield. This is clearly changing the face of warfare and the serious concern is that these things will one day be deployed in civil unrest situations.

If we have machines that enforce laws or replace soldiers in battle, this is actually the greatest wish-list governments have had for centuries. The power of any government rests upon its military to back it. Make no mistake about this, the United States has also staged exercises using the military to launch an assault on American cities. Even the EU has been conducting military/police exercises in case of civil war breaks out inside Europe.

 

Theordora-Ravena

I have written many times that the playbook on using the military against civilians to protect the government goes back to the Nika Riots of 532 ADThere were two rival political factions in the empire, the Blues and the Greens, who started a riot in January 532AD during a chariot race in the hippodrome. The riots stemmed from many grievances, and the people set fire to many public buildings. They even proclaimed a new emperor, Hypatius. Unable to control the mob, Emperor Justinian and his officials prepared to flee. His wife, Theodora, spoke out against fleeing the capital. She took charge and ordered the loyal troops led by two reliable foreign officers outside of Constantinople, Belisarius and Mundus, to attack the demonstrators in the hippodrome located in the city. Troops inside Constantinople refused to attack their own people. The key was to use troops who were not local for they would defend the government and kill people they did not know. The lesson is you cannot use local troops who may not kill people they know, are family, or personal friends.

Yeltsin-081991-Coup

The Russian Revolution in 1991 where the Soviet Union collapsed took place all because the troops refused to fire on their own people. Boris Yeltsin (1931–2007) was a Russian politician who stood on the tank during the civil unrest insisting the army not fire upon Russians. This has been the lesson from the Nika Revolt of 562AD. Therefore, the government is VULNERABLE if the military refuses to kill the people on the orders of the politicians.

In the case of 1932, President Herbert Hoover authorized the military to clear out the Bonus Army composed of World War I veterans and their families. They even called in the tanks to use against the veterans. While this incident above all probably pushed the independents to Roosevelt and Hoover lost the election, once again, we see the risks of using the military against the people domestically. We see that Venezuela has held on because the military will kill its own people. The uprising in Ukraine succeeded only because the Ukrainian police turned against the imported Eastern European Russian ethnic police and soldiers supporting Yanukovich.

Therefore, to understand the true movement behind the defund police, you must understand that they are already planning to replace local police to a large extent with robots that have no conscience and will kill on command. If the government can replace the police and military with robots, they will achieve their ultimate security against public uprisings. Merged with digital IDs and tracking as Gates has done in India, this will create the solution for the perfect totalitarian state that is not dependent upon the loyalty of the police or military. We are not there yet, but they certainly intend to be there within the years ahead.

You dod not even need AI for this goal. They can, of course, have simple tools like heat detectors to identify humans. They can add facial recognition to target specific people. They do not want an AI system that would actually allow it to override some central command directive. All of this is certainly possible right now with present technology. It does not even require futuristic fantasy to conclude where this leads decades from now. It is the ultimate power for the ultimate tyranny which they see as then invincible.

Today’s Rioters are the Evil Spawn of the Rioters from the 1960’s


The Typical American city in the Summer of 2020, WHY?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Starting in the mid 60’s and running though most of the 70’s a large contingent of the babies born between 1944 and 1964 known as the “me generation” or the “boomer generation” started to rebel against the existing political system and society in general.  The trigger for the rebellion was the Vietnam war and the draft of young men to be sent to war. However,  it quickly spread to encompass many other issues like race, gender and sexuality, leading to the culture wars in the 80’s. It was a very turbulent time as society was totally changed by the boomers. If you care to read about it I recommend the book The Fourth Turning An American Prophecy  by Strauss and Howe. The amassing thing about this book is that they predicted what we are going though right now back in 1997.

Back then 1970’s

That was the background that we grew up in and most of us turned out just fine; however there was another group of mostly rich kids that turned out to be very bad. Their parents were the first of the Progressives who believed in the principles of Marxism; not so much in the open as the cloaked themselves in terms like socialism. and social justice and well today we have BLM and Antifa to name just a few, which are direct extensions of the movements in the late 60’s and early 70’s. To many today, who were not alive back then, they wonder where these movements came from.

Today 2020

The answer is found in their writing and more specifically in a book/pamphlet they published on May 9, 1974.  The authors are: Bernadine Dohrn, Billy Ayers (Strong Connection to Obama), Jeff Jones and Celia Sojourn. These were hard core Communist  radicals following the teaching of Saul D. Alinsky in his Book Rules for Radicals in which he taught how to make social change meaning a way to get to Marxism. This group and others goal was to fundamentally change America into a Communist country. If you read that book you will have no doubt about their wanting a Marxism system in the Unite Sates.

The book they published in 1974 will give them today what they desired when they first published Prairie Fire, The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Americanism. Rather than write about it here just download it and read it yourself. The copy I have is a copy of the pages in that book and so some of the quality is poor but it is readable. In private they discussed the cost to make the change they wanted and it was that 25% of the US population would need to die. Before you dismiss  that remember that both the Russian and Chinese conversion to Marxism cost each of those countries a much high percentage of their population. Click on the words Prairie Fire blow and you can download a copy.

PrairieFire-reprint

The link below, to a short U Tube video, was recorded in 1969 five years before Prairie Fire and describes much of what will be published five years later.

The movement today is a combination of Marxism and Environmentalism and Globalism and is a very dangerous combination, the code words for it are The Great Rest also known as the New Future and a New Green Deal. There are other posts on my blog that explain what this is.

 

Dr. Sebastian Gorka: How the Far-Left Radicalized America’s Institutions | American Thought Leaders


How is the ideological basis of the far-left fundamentally at odds with traditional values? What is the war for America’s soul, as told in Dr. Sebastian Gorka’s new book? And in the eyes of Dr. Gorka, how did we get to this point? How were American institutions radicalized and America’s youth indoctrinated into sympathizing with socialist …

 

I Strongly Urge Readers to Leave California, New Jersey, Illinois, Connecticut, & New York


California is looking to impose a Wealth Tax as Elizabeth Waren had proposed which is Piketty’s idea which is supported by Schwab’s World Economic Forum in Davos. This will be on worldwide property – not income. The tax rate annually will be 0.4%. Even if you lose the money you will be taxed every year in addition to income taxes which are already the highest in the United States.

The problem here is not just worldwide income, California went after people who retired and left the state. They argued that their retirement income was previously earned in California so you had to pay California income taxes on your retirement funds even if you left California. This is the ultimate tyranny. You are paying taxes as a slave owned by California. You are NOT paying your fair share because you are not using the state’s resources or benefits. This is once again – taxation without representation. You will have no right to vote in California because you are not a resident. Nevertheless, this is the TRUE view of socialists – you are the property of the state. Socialists do not tolerate classes. Their core belief is everything belongs to them. My family fought in even the American Revolution. This is precisely what they fought against.

They are looking at the very same scheme to continue to tax you on the worldwide property even if you leave. I strongly advise you to move to a Red State ASAP. Florida has a lot of retired people so the politicians are more constrained. It may be your last chance. California Dreaming is now all about them and how they dream of new ways to exploit you even more.

States have lost income because of their stupid COVID lockdowns. Of course, they never reduce their expenses and after wiping out people’s jobs, they are looking to make up their losses in revenue with new creative ideas. As I warned, people simply began walking away from their property in Rome because of such corruption. Those in power only see their own power and self-interest. This is why we need so desperately to eliminate career politicians. Until that happens, there will never be a government of “We the People” no matter what.

Let’s be honest here. There is NO way any state government will ever STOP raising taxes. They are incapable of ever seeing themselves as the source of the problem. The audacity to try to continue to tax people forever because they once worked in California is the ultimate tyranny. They reduce everyone to just their economic slaves to be exploited with no connection to paying for common infrastructure or expenses since you use nothing when you leave.

A Plea from Australia For Help


COMMENT: Hi Marty,
Was hoping you could put this on your blog in case there are any lawyers in your readership. Surely we are being denied the right to allow our immune system to deal with this naturally.

I live in the very next state to Victoria Australia and I am increasingly becoming fearful our state government is going to follow suit.

What really pisses me off is that people like my own father accept the bullshit they are being told and want the police to act the way they do. So it is not just the police and the government, but all those sheep who give these authorities the motivation to do it. I can assure you that my father and those like him would have been cheering the police officer on, not the woman who was not wearing the mask. My father even told my daughter (when she asked him how he was through messenger) that he was ok but very angry at the people not obeying the law. In other words, here is my father talking to my daughter long distance and his whole focus is on this f%^&*ing virus and his disdain towards others who don’t fear this disease as he does. People like my father do not read or listen to anyone else (like me or you) who speaks opposite to their own fears and beliefs. So waking up the people is pointless and will never happen.

So to my question. I believe I am being denied the right to get this disease naturally and to allow my body to naturally deal with it. My health is being compromised because I am being denied the right to build my own immune system naturally. By denying me the right to naturally get this disease, I am putting my own ability to work and provide for my family at risk. Surely there must be some legal precedent that says that no one can prevent me from contracting a disease naturally.

Obviously there is an agenda here, but surely the people out there with common sense (and legal ability to see this through) can force the government to simply tell those that fear this disease to stay at home, in other words, aim their lockdowns at those who fear the disease and let the rest of us go out and work and produce.

D

 

REPLY: This really makes no sense why politicians are becoming so evil. You would think that they made a mistake because of Neil Ferguson’s bogus mode and they would quickly reverse course. The whole thing was we needed lockdowns to preserve bed space in hospitals. But that never became a problem. So you would think that any honest politicians would back off. Instead, they are turning the screws even harder which makes no sense unless they are now deliberately trying to destroy the economy for the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset.

Are Gates & Soros All-Powerful?


QUESTION: Since Soros Gates and their friends are so powerful and since they control a lot of things, do you think they could manipulate the world stock markets too?

MG

London Financial Times – June 27, 1998

ANSWER: No. Keep in mind that Socrates has been forecasting the trend without knowing who are the players. They have simply appeared on schedule, but they have not reversed the course of the trend which was in motion. I have explained the main times that Socrates has been able to forecast wars are the collapse of governments. It does not use fundamental analysis. It simply tracks the capital flows. It picks up that people start to move their money if they obviously anticipate starting a war.

This has been the very same outcome. I have direct information that some players began to sell all government bonds and shares at the peak just before the virus was the major issue. They knew what was coming for their orchestrated this event. They apparently used our Economic Confidence Model turning point of January 18, 2020, for their timing. They were able to at best increase the magnitude of the decline, but they did not “manipulate” in the sense of taking a bull market and transforming it into a cycle inversion bear market. At the WEC in Orlando in 2019, we laid out that there would be a crash in January and that it should have been at least 20%. That was done much before any word of a virus.

Everything they have done is in accordance with Socrates’ forecast as we head into 2032. They will fail to create this new green world order. However, they have turned politics into a toxic arena from which they are dividing nations and even families. So they are not all-powerful. They will lose this battle.
