Former DNI John Ratcliffe Refutes General Milley Claim Surrounding Any Intelligence That China Was Worried About a U.S. Attack

[NOTE: For those reading from Capitol Hill, take action immediately. Do not let Ratcliffe and Grenell attempt to fight the corrupt intelligence community from the outside.]

Earlier today Joint Chiefs Chairman, General Mark Milley, again claimed that intelligence was gathered and given to him showing that China was fearful of an imminent attack from the United States prior to Milley’s phone call with Chinese military to assure them the U.S. was not about to attack.  This is the same claim that General Milley made yesterday [LINK] about the same issue.  WATCH video at 08:52 Prompted:

Immediately after this repeated claim, former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe directly refuted Milley on Fox News with Martha MacCallum.   The intelligence products used by the Pentagon come from the DNI office, and John Ratcliffe noted there was no intelligence that China held any such concerns.   As a result, any justification claim that Milley makes about his motives for the call surrounding “deescalation” are nonsense.

The Chinese did not escalate an issue because the issue did not exist.  The Chinese were not worried the U.S. was going to attack.  General Milley’s claims are based on a false premise.  The question is, did another intelligence agency purposefully lie to Milley, or is Milley making it all up?

If you and I were sitting on a park bench doing nothing, there would be no concerns. However, if you sat down and I said, “I’m not going to hit you“, suddenly you would become concerned.  That is the essential outlook for what appears to have taken place.

The intelligence apparatus of the United States created a completely false assertion, false intelligence; and then Milley acted unilaterally based on that false assertion.  Keeping in mind that DNI Ratcliffe is very adamant there never was any such intelligence.

♦ If General Milley was that easily manipulated by the intelligence community, most likely the CIA, it doesn’t speak well for his own judgement and discernment considering he is the chief pentagon advisor to the President.

♦ If General Milley was willing to be manipulated by the CIA, and act upon intelligence he knew or suspected to be false, well, then he’s a conspirator within a purposeful effort to undermine the Office of the President and U.S. foreign policy.

Neither of these two scenarios is good; and they both present evidence of a superseding Fourth Branch of Government, operated by a rogue and Machiavellian intelligence community.

As John Ratcliffe noted in his rebuke of General Mark Milley’s justification, if the claim of legitimate intelligence was true, someone would have briefed President Trump about it.  No-one from the office of the Director of National Intelligence, or the DoD, or the National Security Council ever saw any evidence that anything like what Milley is claiming actually existed.

The false intelligence that underpins the Milley phone call with China could be the thread that exposes the hidden Fourth Branch of government.  If congressional representatives and honest independent media are willing to pull it and not let go.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Drops Truth Bomb On Australian Response To COVID, Questions if Diplomatic Relations Should Be Reviewed


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 29, 2021 | Sundance | 388 Comments

Anyone who has watched events unfold in Victoria (Melbourne), or New South Wales (Sydney) in Australia, will admit no other westernized nation on earth has responded to COVID-19 with such extreme brutality by government toward their citizens.  The view of Australia as a place of respect for minority rights, expressions of liberty, and the principle of inherent freedom has been destroyed.

Looking from the outside, Australia is now viewed as a totalitarian dictatorship more akin to North Korea than the U.K.

No democratic nation on earth has become more draconian and totalitarian in their effort to control their citizens than Australia.   Quarantine camps, international and inter-state travel bans, harsh lock-downs and proximity limits, physical checkpoints operated by police and military, and brutal police tactics where violence is frequently used against their own citizens.  The entire landscape of democracy in Australia has slowly been destroyed in the past 18 months, and it is only getting worse.

Australian citizens are now forced to have their physical location monitored through electronic passports and check-in points where a central government database can watch where people are.  Additionally, all six states have now announced that only vaccinated people will be permitted to engage in society when/if they ever make the decision to open their economy.

Yesterday, a major U.S. politician finally had the nerve to address the issue.  Speaking at the International Boat Builders’ Exhibition and Conference in Tampa, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis warned that Australia has gone too far when it comes to restricting freedoms, as it battles an outbreak of the highly contagious Delta variant.

Governor DeSantis called out the brutality of Australia and questioned if the United States should reassess our diplomatic relationship with the regime down-under, if we are to now accept Australia as more ideologically aligned with the communist Chinese system instead of the principles of freedom and individual liberty. WATCH:

(Sky News) – Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has castigated Australia’s response to COVID, warning that the country has gone “dramatically off the rails” and likened it to communist China. Mr DeSantis questioned whether the United States should maintain its current level of diplomatic relationship with Canberra.

Unlike some American states, Florida has taken a relatively hands off approach to combating COVID. Governor DeSantis, a rising star of the Republican Party, has made most COVID-19 restrictions illegal in May 2021. He banned vaccine mandates for workers and is against mandatory mask wearing.

Speaking at the International Boat Builders’ Exhibition and Conference in Tampa, he warned that Australia has gone too far when it comes to restricting freedoms as it battles an outbreak of the highly contagious Delta variant in its eastern states. “Look what’s going on in Australia right now. You know, they’re enforcing, after a year and a half, they’re still enforcing lockdowns by the military,” Governor DeSantis warned.

“That’s not a free country. It’s not a free country at all. In fact, I mean, I wonder why we would still have the same diplomatic relations when they’re doing that. “Is Australia freer than China, communist China, right now? I don’t know. The fact that that’s even a question tells you something has gone dramatically off the rails with some of this stuff.”

Only just over 1,250 Australians have died from COVID, compared to more than 54,000 Floridians. Florida averages 350 deaths per day in a state of 22 million people.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison defended Australia’s response to COVID, arguing “cultural differences” were behind the different approaches. “I think we are different societies. I mean, we‘re great friends and we share beliefs and values that we hold dear … but in Australia, when it comes to public health, we’re a very pragmatic nation,” Mr Morrison told US network CBS. “And I can tell you, the virus doesn’t care what you believe. The virus cares about how it can come and take your life.”

“The Tipping Point”

The Great Reset is in reality the Great Replacement 

When China Joe and his operatives stole the election, it was quickly made clear that Biden was not America First. He even said as much.

 Biden is globalism first and he carries out the same agenda Obama was working on. That is, the gradual destruction of liberties and freedom. Only now, it’s not so gradual.

Klaus Schwab perhaps best represents the monstrous face of the globalists. He wants a ‘Great Reset’ which will force all remaining wealth to the very top of the pyramid. Sure, they already own and control nearly everything already, but they’re greedy Satanists who always want more. From the average citizen, much will be taken away. It’s why Schwab has lately been predicting a great atmosphere of anger. Well, sure. What does he expect? They’re shutting down small businesses, threatening to take away our ability to make a living if we do not comply with their medical tyranny. They allowing the IRS to get a better grip on everyone’s bank accounts, and worst of all, they are talking about forced vaccination.

Joe got his second saline shot the other day and mumbled something about how he wouldn’t be happy until a 98 percent vaccination level has been achieved. Notice how they keep moving the goal posts. Dr. Fauci originally said 60 percent would do the trick.

We’ve already seen what the New World Order globalists have done to Australia. They want that to happen here, too. They don’t want people freely moving about—it offends tyrants such as Schwab. They want total control over us all—and that means controlling access to churches, grocery stores, schools, and travel. Joe talked about banning interstate travel for the unvaccinated. It doesn’t matter that thousands who got the jabs are also coming down with Covid. It proves their so-called vaccines are neither safe nor effective. That kind of scientific data is simply ignored, however.

We’ve arrived at a tipping point in America. Biden will start doling out dishonorable discharges to those in the military who refuse the gene therapy injections. Those who refuse are not dishonorable. They are heroes. Joe is dishonorable. He’s a tyrant. He told us that his patience running out. He’s a traitor out to destroy America and liberty.

Hang on tightly to our last, most important right—the right to bear arms.

— Ben Garrison

Virginia Gubernatorial Candidate Terry McAuliffe: “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach”

All your children are belong to us….

Here we go again.  During a Virginia Governor’s Debate, hosted by NBC Washington at Northern Virginia Community College, gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe emphasized his position that parents should not be allowed to determine what books and content are used in the curriculum of students.

Seeming to be dependent on the teacher’s unions for support, McAuliffe said: “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Announces Lawsuit Against Joe Biden’s Illegal Human Trafficking Operations


Posted originally on the conservative tree house September 28, 2021 | Sundance | 14 Comments

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced Tuesday that he is triggering a three point plan to confront Joe Biden’s human trafficking operation.

One measure includes a lawsuit against the federal government for illegal human trafficking operations into the state of Florida.  A second measure includes an executive order which -in part- allows the Florida Dept of Law Enforcement to impound any aircraft or transportation vehicle that is used by the Biden administration in carrying out their human trafficking of illegal aliens into the state.  The final measure is the appointment of Larry Keefe as a public safety czar to “ensure that the actions directed by this executive order, as well as many other things are carried out.”

General Mark Milley Admits Trump Was Being Managed By Administrative State Group Who Run Government, Mike Pompeo and Mark Meadows Assisted


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 28, 2021 | Sundance | 689 Comments

Years of agonizing and frustrating reviews and analysis of the Trump administration activity in real-time are reconciling today.  During Senate testimony today before the Armed Services Committee, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman, General Mark Milley, clarified some very painful issues to accept.  President Trump was being heavily managed by operatives of the Senior Executive Service (SES), and his inner circle was willfully participating.

What follows is in no way a defense of Milley, quite the contrary, Milley is a brutally political, manipulative, entitled and arrogant member of the United States armed forces.  His delusions of grandiosity represent the worst of our nation and can only be topped by one other, Anthony Fauci.

Earlier today, Milley was attempting to flex his power in the almost identical way we saw former FBI Director James Comey pull the same angle.   You might remember, during congressional testimony in March 2017 when Comey was questioned about why he never informed congressional ‘gang-of-eight’ oversight about the preceding eleven month FBI investigating the incoming President, Donald Trump.  Director Comey pontificated, obfuscated, dodged carefully, and then deflected responsibility by saying he informed the “national security council” under President Obama.

When General Milley attempted to justify his unilateral contacts with Chinese military officials, he made a similar, and remarkably telling, admission and deflection.

For the January 8th phone call with General Lee of China, Milley stated he informed President Trump’s Chief-of-Staff Mark Meadows and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.  Keep in mind that Kash Patel has publicly stated General Milley did not inform Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller directly; at least to his knowledge.  So, Milley’s secondary point about notifying Christopher Miller in January 2020 needs to be reconciled carefully.

Listen carefully to how Milley is describing those calls.  Specifically, pay attention to Milley saying the calls were initiated by him in response to “concerning intelligence, which caused us to believe the Chinese were worried about an attack on them by the United States.”   It is important to note what this is NOT.

The contact by Chairman Milley was not initially triggered by the Chinese contacting him or any U.S. official about their concerns.  The contact to them is justified by saying the U.S. intelligence community was generating intelligence that said the Chinese were worried.   The Chinese did not say they were worried, the U.S. intelligence community were saying they were worried.   Knowing how the Deep State, aka Fourth Branch of Government operates, keep that key point in mind.

Milley goes on to say, he was attempting to “deescalate” a situation the Chinese had never escalated.  Think about that carefully.

[WATCH from 09:00 forward, Prompted]

The first call, driven by U.S. Intelligence Community alarms, was made in October, before the election.  Then another call was requested by the Chinese on December 30, 2020, for scheduling on January 8, 2021, after the U.S. election.   Note this important statement surrounding the January 8th call: “Shortly after my call ended with General Lee, I personally informed Secretary of State Pompeo and White House Chief of Staff Meadows, about the call – among other topics.”

Notice who General Milley did not inform.  General Milley did not inform President Trump, nor his national security advisor Robert O’Brien. This framework appears intentional; however, when you overlay what we previously suspected and outlined about Mark Meadows and Secretary Pompeo, it all makes sense.

Just like many other people who preceded them in the administration, Meadows and Pompeo were in place to manage President Trump.  Unfortunately, accepting that reality brings with it a bunch of very concerning issues.

We’ve long suspected Mark Meadows was introduced into the Trump orbit specifically because the Fourth Branch was exerting influence and needed to mitigate any independent action by President Trump.  This is the same scenario around introducing former CIA Director Mike Pompeo for the same purposes.

Mike Pompeo and Mark Milley worked unilaterally without President Trump’s authority on at least one situation during the winter of 2019 when U.S. strikes took place.  [Background Here] [Background Here]. President Trump made Esper, Milley and Pompeo hold a press conference without Trump supporting them; then President Trump remained silent on the issue for days.  There were other issues with Pompeo which looked sketchy, but that one specifically was a big red flag (or cherry on the proverbial cake).

Mark Meadows was the source of frequent leaks against President Trump including his health status during his COVID hospital stay.  Mark Meadows was also the primary source for John Solomon when Meadows was in congress.  [Solomon made this admission during a podcast.]  During the peak of the 2018 “spygate” headlines, prior to the mid-term election, it became obvious that Solomon was being managed and steered in his reporting.  It always appeared that Meadows was attempting to tamp-down outrage within the Trump base in order to manage it.  John Solomon and the tick-tock club were a big factor in the success of that approach.

Is Biden Acting Like a Tyrant?


Armstrong Economics Blog/History Re-Posted Sep 28, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The Roman emperor who marked the complete fall of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century, 260 AD, was Valerian (253-260 AD). In 259 AD, Valerian moved on to Edessa to challenge the Persians, but an outbreak of plague killed a significant portion of his legionaries, which weakened the Roman position overall in Asia. This led to the Persians smelling an opportunity.

While fighting the Persians, Valerian sent two letters to the Senate ordering steps be taken against Christians, for their rejection of the gods was undermining the empire. The first letter was sent during 257 AD, which ordered the Christian clergy to perform sacrifices to the Roman gods or face banishment. The second letter was the following year and ordered the execution of Christian leaders. It also required Christian senators and equities to perform acts of worship to the Roman gods or lose their titles and property. If any official refused to worship the gods, they were to be executed.

Additionally, any Roman matron who would not comply should lose their property and also be banished. Civil servants and members of the Imperial household refusing to worship the Roman gods were to be turned into slaves and sent to work on the Imperial estates. The extent of all of these directives indicates that Christianity was becoming widespread through all the classes within society. The parallels are prompting emails for when Valerian was captured by the Persians. While he was trying to force everyone to pray for his victory, Rome collapsed in total disarray. He divided the empire between Pagan and Christain, blamed the Christians for the decline of the empire just as Biden is now blaming the unvaccinated. We seem to be standing on the very edge of a cliff with the same abyss with respect to the fall of our world monetary system. Ah, how history repeats.

Biden has outrageously demanded anyone in the military who refuses to be vaccinated, which is 46%, is to be dishonorably discharged, stripping them of all pensions and benefits. The Republicans have rushed in a bill to say any soldier refusing to vaccinate must be only honorably discharged.

Democrats Hate Small Business – the Bourgeoisie


Armstrong Economics Blog/The Hunt for Taxes Re-Posted Sep 28, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Former Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, who is a Democrat, says Biden’s plan to tax assets at death would hurt family businesses. Indeed, it would destroy small businesses, for it would be impossible for the family to pay such a tax without selling assets and firing people. Part of the agenda of Marxism is to eliminate the hated Bourgeoisie. The only people surviving will be the big corporations, which is why they are supporting the Democrats every step of the way.

CNN and Big Tech are anti-American and against everything that generations fought to preserve. The freedom to write is assaulted by the cancel culture. We are witnessing the very same attitudes rising, with book burnings to censor what people are allowed to know. There are popups online now to argue against anything that exposes what they are doing.

There was NO innovation that EVER came from a Communist country other than expanding nuclear arms and Russia’s race to space. Those were the ONLY two things to come from communism. Russia was once the land of intelligence, writings, and innovation. The 19th century is traditionally referred to as the “Golden Era” of Russian literature. When the Communists took over, literature ended. People were no longer free to express ideas. Andrew Mellon bought the Russian art collection from their museums and donated them to the United States, building the National Gallery as well. I went to a Communist museum behind the Berlin Wall. There was no art. All paintings were merely Communists working the fields.

This same hatred of independence and wealth dominates the Democratic Party today. This is not the Democratic Party of my father. Indeed, my father was a Democrat growing up during the Great Depression. He would NEVER have voted Democrat today, which stands against everything worthwhile that freedom ever offered.
