Quietly Unnoticed – British Prime Minister Had Dinner with President Trump for Two Hours, But Never Met with Kamala Harris


Posted originally on the CTH on September 27, 2024 | Sundance

This is an interesting and curiously unmentioned diplomatic contrast.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer had a two-hour dinner with President Donald Trump after the U.K leader delivered a speech to the United Nations in New York.  However, intentionally unnoticed by U.S. media, the Prime Minister immediately left the U.S. following the lengthy meeting with President Trump, and never met with Kamala Harris.

The extensive discussion and dinner took place in New York, apparently at Trump Tower.  There is an aspect of typical British worry woven throughout British media reporting on the meeting because U.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy, also attended the meeting.  Lammy once called President Trump a “woman-hating, neo-Nazi sympathizing sociopath.”

Undoubtably, when the priority of the dinner is overlaid with the U.K position on Ukraine; keep in mind a meeting with Zelenskyy followed the next morning; PM Starmer appears a little worried.  There is a massive amount of geopolitical embarrassment possible right around the corner when, not if, President Trump wins – and the position of the British govt toward Ukraine leaves them dancing alone when the music stops.

CONTEXT: Chairman Xi is big geopolitically, driven mostly by his economic position.  President Putin has become bigger geopolitically as a result of his smart post-sanction moves, in combination with his increasing economic position.  Heck, even Mohammed Bin Salmon (Saudi Arabia) and Narendra Modi (India) are now big in a world of stupidly applied Bidenomics. However, when you consider the dynamic of actually using economic leverage as THE truest aspect of geopolitical power, President Trump is GODZILLA.

Starmer and the rest, eh, lol.   Prime Minister Keir Starmer meeting with President Trump is what might be called, ‘risk mitigation‘.  And people were wondering why Ric Grenell was present beside Donald Trump for the past few days.  lolol…  {{¹Hint}}

BBC, UK – Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has met up with Donald Trump for the first time.

He had a two-hour dinner with the former US President at his New York base – Trump Tower.

The pair were joined by Foreign Secretary David Lammy for the meeting.

The Prime Minister said it was “good” he had the opportunity to meet the Republican presidential candidate and that it was “really to establish a relationship between” the two of them.

A UK government source said that Keir Starmer had “welcomed” the opportunity to meet the former president.

It added that the pair had “discussed the longstanding friendship between the UK and the US and the importance of continuing to develop the strong and enduring partnership between our two countries.” (link)

Gee…..

….. Why would Ric Grenell be in the key meetings with foreign leadership?

Hey, lol… I just notice the obvious!

“It Takes Two to Tango” – President Trump Meets with Ukrainian President Zelensky in New York


Earlier this morning in New York, President Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

During part of their brief remarks (video below) President Trump noted in his estimation there could be a quick resolution to the conflict with Russia, saying, “I have a good relationship with President Putin,” to which Zelenskyy interrupted, “I hope we have more good relation.”  In the artful and honest way of a man positioning for peace, President Trump noted, “it takes two to tango.”

.

The professional democrats and the professional republicans, essentially the UniParty in Washington DC, do not want the conflict to end.  The money laundering process created by the Ukraine conflict with Russia provides affluence for a host of domestic and foreign political interests.

Zelenskyy was created as a figurehead for Ukraine by western interests, the U.S. State Department and foreign policy establishment.  A change in administration stops the dynamic DC supports.

The only group who can end the conflict is the group who doesn’t benefit from it, that’s the American people.  The only person who can end the conflict is the voice representing the group that wants it to end, that’s President Trump.

During Testimony FBI Whistleblower Urges Americans to Prepare Now with Ballots and Bullets


Posted originally on the CTH on September 26, 2024 | Sundance

Former FBI staff operations specialist Marcus Allen gave stunning testimony Wednesday, outlining how the FBI targets and persecutes anyone inside the institution who does not align with the institutional mission of domination over the American public.

Marcus Allen, now a January 6th whistleblower, appeared next to Inspector General Michael Horowitz who has investigated the claims by Allen. IG Horowitz internal investigation is not yet complete; however, the inspector general confirmed how the whistleblowers inside the FBI were targeted for speaking up against the FBI manipulation and corruption they encountered. Inspector General Horowitz sitting beside Marcus Allen to confirm his testimony was unprecedented.

Allen knew that Confidential Human Sources (CHS) were used by the FBI during the J6 events, and FBI Director Chris Wray lied about it. The institutional accusations against Allen stemmed from a Sept. 29, 2021, email that he forwarded to supervisors and colleagues at the Charlotte FBI Field Office, which included hyperlinks to what was later flagged as “extremist propaganda” from “questionable sources.” Allen had his security clearance revoked and was placed on suspension.

An ongoing internal investigation by IG Horowitz is revealing that everything Marcus Allen stated about J6 and his subsequent targeting was accurate. Allen’s case against the FBI resulted in him regaining his security clearance and winning back pay, making him the only former spook to overcome the suspension of a security clearance.

During his testimony, Congressman Dan Bishop provided Allen the time to speak directly to the American public about the FBI and what the American people should consider about the institution.  What Allen said in his response is chilling.  WATCH:

.

Marcus Allen affirms from inside the silo, what many of us have said from the outside.  “There are no current checks and balances” against the corruption.

{See Here} and {SEE HERE}

The modern FBI is the police agency of a weaponized U.S government, with a direct and purposeful mandate to keep the American people under control through strict surveillance and a violent police state.

If a subject can be defined as a priority for the system of government in Washington DC, then that subject is the targeting priority for the FBI.  It does not matter what priority is assigned by any outside interest on the issue; nor does it matter what level of importance exists from the actual threat itself.

Example.  The FBI miss’s terrorist threats, because the FBI -as a totally siloed agency- is not informed of the threat from DC.  If a citizen, group, or outside agency reports a potential risk it is not investigated.  This surfaces in everything from the Boston Marathon bombers to the Parkland shooter, to U.S. gymnasts being sexually assaulted.   If the “threat” defined is not a threat to DC interests, then the threat is not pursued by the FBI.

The FBI only investigates threats or subjects of interest that stem from origination in Washington DC.  Meaning if the DC system is threatened by the subject, that subject gets investigated.  If the DC system does not trigger the notification, the FBI does not investigate it.

In essence the FBI only investigates threats as they are defined by other agencies, or silos, within Washington DC.  The FBI is the internal agency that protects the DC system.  This is a bastardized concept, a completely screwed up institutional mission, that stems from within the term “the continuation of government.”

A local or state issue, is not a priority for the FBI, even if the issue is a major threat to the domestic tranquility…. UNLESS, that issue, person or group threatens the stakeholders within the DC political system.  This manifests openly by the inability of citizens to provide information that triggers action by the FBI.

The FBI only responds to investigative actions requested by agencies within Washington DC.  Typically, Main Justice or the DOJ is the source of those originating requests; however, sometimes the executive or legislative branch can trigger the FBI action, if the identified threat has the potential to upset political operations within Washington DC.

Armed with empirical, undeniable evidence of corrupt activity, I was prepared to engage the FBI when I was intercepted by a person who warned me about this operational mission.  It was from that point that I really began to understand the FBI as a silo within the system that is entirely predicated on self-preservation.

If a person brings a federal corruption issue to the FBI (like evidence of corrupt activity), they will end up being a target of the FBI because the evidence itself is likely adverse to one or more interests within DC.   There are many reference examples, but two you will likely know are James O’Keefe (Ashley Biden diary) and/or voter fraud (writ large, with Michigan as a great example).

Because the Biden Diary threatened the DC government interest, O’Keefe quickly became a target.  Because voter fraud in Michigan threatened the DC government interest, the FBI stepped in to cover it up.  You can say the same for the Awan brothers, the Huma Abedin laptop, the Clinton classified emails and many more.

The FBI has two ways to protect the interests of DC: (1) Defend by investigating the accuser, evidence holder, or person who raises the issue.  (2) Defend by non-investigation of the subject matter (Olympic Gymnasts, Epstein, etc).  Again, if the institutional interests within DC are threatened by the subject matter, the objective of the FBI is to defend those institutional interests.

The FBI is not a federal investigative agency with a mission to serve and protect the people of the United States.  The FBI is a federal investigative agency with a mission to protect the institutional interests of Washington DC.  Once you understand this process with clarity then everything the FBI does and does not investigate, makes sense.

This operational mission of the FBI explains why when a citizen brings an issue to the FBI, the citizen is more than likely going to end up as a target.  This reality is key to understanding the disparity between what people perceive as the FBI mission, and what the ACTUAL mission is.

This is not some off-the-cuff disparagement or conspiracy theory; this is the fact-based reality of how the FBI works.  Even in my own discussions with John Durham’s FBI investigators, they openly admitted how their operational mission does not permit them to entertain any outside evidence of corruption or wrongdoing within U.S. govt.

When you understand how it works, then you start to realize the futility of expecting any investigative outcome from the FBI toward anything that does not threaten Washington DC.  Protecting the DC system IS the goal, the priority, the operational mission; nothing more.   Does the FBI inability to track the J6 pipe-bomber make more sense now?   There are a tremendous number of examples.

The various FBI offices distributed around the nation are essentially interception venues, constantly on the lookout to protect the interests of DC.  If an issue surfaces that could potentially put the administrative state, or any actor therein at risk, the FBI is far more likely to intercede, intercept and manage away the issue.

The FBI are essentially investigative managers; they are not concerned with fraud or criminal wrongdoing when/if that fraud or corruption might put a part of the DC system at risk.  Instead, the FBI will take control of the problem and throw their investigative blanket over it (Ex. Hunter Biden laptop, as given by the computer repair shop).  The non-pretending people within the FBI will admit this, as will just about anyone who has ever had experience reaching out to the FBI for investigative assistance.

Once you take this context and apply it to examples you can reference, then suddenly everything the FBI does and does not do, makes sense.  Every contradiction, and I do mean each example that might be pulled into the conversation as a reference point, makes sense from the reality of this perspective.  The raid on Mar-a-Lago and the targeting of President Trump is another brutally obvious example.

Many voices have recently started calling for the elimination of the FBI as a result of controversies that surround this factual mission priority.  Those voices are not wrong; in fact, there is no way to reform the FBI as an investigative agency, because the mission of the agency is the opposite of what it should be.

The FSB is known to protect the interests of the Russian government; this is accepted and no longer arguable.  However, the same purpose is true with the USA and the FBI relationship toward government.  Unfortunately, the system of government that benefits from this protection is never going to willingly remove their guards.

The last point on this issue is even more alarming.  Only a handful of people within Washington DC will admit the truth behind the FBI mission. Former FBI staff operations specialist Marcus Allen is one of that small group.

The Evolving Middle East War


Posted originally on Sep 27, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Israel Map

There will be a war in the Middle East, and many are looking at this as the End Times from three different religions. The majority of Israelis of all faiths support a ground invasion of southern Lebanon. Hezbollah has been firing rockets for almost a year now, and they have turned the majority of Israelis against them. The Lebanese government has included Hezbollah ministers, and they have surrendered the safety of their own people to Hezbollah, thereby endorsing war with Israel. The deep resentment that festers in the Middle East I do not see as ever being resolved. When that becomes the reality, then war is inevitable.

Israeli Iran Palestine

Hezbollah has assumed that Iran would rush to join the party. But Putin has been warning them that the time is not right. Putin understands the game. He may be hoping Trump is elected to shut down World War III. However, the model concerning market activity suggests that things may not pan out as many have assumed.

While October is a key near-term target, the major target will be March/April next year.

10% Cap on Credit Card Fees?


Posted originally on Sep 27, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

CreditCardDebt.Chart_

APR fees on credit cards have never been higher, reaching an average of 24.92% as of September 2024 in the United States. In fact, credit card interest rates have not been beneath 10% since the early 90s. Consumer debt has never been higher and countless households have fallen into a snowball situation where they simply accumulate more debt in a failed attempt to pay off the old. Donald Trump has offered the most extreme solution presented by a politician thus far – capping credit card interest fees at 10%.

Bernie Sanders once proposed a 15% cap to the shock of many. Biden attempted to implement an $8 cap on late fees alone but was prevented from doing so. Banks have continued raising their fees and interest rates as more households fall behind.

Prior to the pandemic, Americans paid $120 billion annually in credit card interest fees from 2018 to 2020, amounting to $1,000 annually per household. In 2022, consumers were paying $105 billion in interest as it has become the main cost behind having a credit card. Rates on credit cards have doubled in a mere decade from 12.9% in 2013 to 22.8% in 2023.

CreditCardDelinquency_byClass

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York released data in August indicating that American credit card debt reached a new high of $1.14 trillion. A separate report from TransUnion has found that the average American is carrying $6,329 in personal credit card debt, a 4.8% uptick from last year. Americans have amassed over $250 billion in the past two years alone amid record inflation. Bankrate reported that 46% of cardholders cannot pay off their monthly credit card payments, up 7% from last year.

Banks are naturally against this cap. Those in disagreement believe banks will be reluctant to lend and tighten their requirements. To some extent, that may not be a negative. Living within your means has completely changed under Bidenomics and everyone is adjusting to the new cost of living. In the meantime, people need to catch up to get back on their feet before the debt vortex sucks them into a hole that becomes nearly impossible to climb out of.

Consumers have been forced to pay for basic necessities on credit due to the astounding rise in prices for basics like energy, food, and rent. “While working Americans catch up, we’re going to put a temporary cap on credit-card interest rates,” Trump said at the rally in New York. “We can’t let them make 25 and 30 percent.” Now, Trump is proposing a temporary cap. We permit countless stimulus packages that never stimulate the economy and hand out funds recklessly to help those on hard times. Yet, no one has proposed temporarily capping credit card fees to give consumers time to pay off their debts. The banks are still profiting, albeit less.

No one will profit if consumers default on their personal debts and they are sent to collectors never to be paid. This solution could give households adequate time to adjust their personal finance strategies.

QUESTION: It is becoming obvious Jamie Dimon seems to be following you. Whatever you say, he says a few days later. He has come out and said that the greatest threat is “not inflation, a recession, or AI taking over humanity; rather, it’s rising geopolitical tensions that have already flared up into armed conflicts around the world.” He and you are the only people sounding that alarm. At Davos, he even said Trump was right about the border and about NATO. Do you guys have coffee together?

ANSWER: I would be glad to have coffee with Jamie. No, I do not speak to him. He is a pretty smart guy who can see the events himself. Who tunes into Socrates? I am never at liberty to say. I’m not the CEO of Telegram. Confidentiality is our motto. They tried that with me. It didn’t work.

Milei Stands Alone Against United Nations


Posted originally on Sep 26, 2024 By Martin Armstrong   

avier Milei has done incredible things for Argentina. He carried the nation out of socialism-induced poverty and has been warning the globalists that their vision for a socialistic society will not be successful. Milei delivered a powerful message at the United Nations General Assembly, warning against the catastrophic attempt to create a  “socialist-style supranational government program.”

The United Nations is openly discussing how it will take sovereignty from all member nations. They believe that nations should give up sovereignty for anything they deem an emergency to push out their goal for the New World Order. The World Health Organization (WHO) has been aiding the UN in undermining individual national sovereignty under the premise that it is for utilitarian purposes.

These non-government, unelected entities are openly attempting to remove all human rights. These groups are backed by billionaire philanthropists like Bill Gates who are eager to start the next pandemic to use as an excuse to remove national authority. Milei said that the plans for power are promoting “a toxic relationship between global governance policies and international credit agencies,” saying that the most regulated countries will be forced to become “perpetual debtors” to “promote the global elite’s agenda.” They are attempting socialism on a worldwide scale where wealthy nations will be demonized. Part of Agenda 2030 clearly dictates that America can no longer be a superpower; in fact, no one nation can be a superpower, as all power will be held by the elite few.

Schwab 2030 Overthrow USA 1

Javier Milei criticized the entire counsel in-person and said that the UN has become “a multi-tentacled leviathan that aims to decide not only what each nation-state should do, but also how all the citizens of the world should live.” Milei warned against the dangers of the World Economic Forum’s Agenda 2030 and the Pact for the Future. “What is being discussed – this week, here, in New York, at the Summit of the Future – is nothing other than the deepening of that tragic course that this institution has adopted,” Milei continued.

Agenda 2030 has been around for many years, yet it is deemed a conspiracy by those who are too afraid to accept it as fact. Milei called the globalist plan “nothing other than a supranational government program, socialist in nature, that seeks to solve the problems of modernity with solutions that infringe on the sovereignty of nation-states and violate people’s right to life, liberty and property.”

The president proudly stated he would no longer remain neutral about this blatant corruption. He showed impressive bravery by speaking out directly against these agencies when no other world leader is willing to do so. The world needs more leaders like Javier Milei who represent the PEOPLE.

UN One World Government

[Agenda 2030] “is an agenda, which aims to solve poverty, inequality and discrimination with legislation that the only thing it does is to deepen them . Because the history of the world shows that the only way to guarantee prosperity is by limiting the power of the monarch , guaranteeing equality before the law and defending the right to life, liberty and property of individuals,” he added. Every single attempt at socialism and communism has failed miserably and resulted in nations crumbling.

“If the 2030 Agenda failed – as its own promoters acknowledge – the answer should be to ask ourselves whether it was not an ill-conceived agenda to begin with, accept that reality and change course. One cannot pretend to persist in the mistake by redoubling the bet on an agenda that has failed. The same thing always happens with ideas coming from the left: they design a model according to what human beings should be – according to them – and when individuals – freely – act otherwise, they have no better solution than to restrict, repress and restrict their freedom, ” Milei criticized.

How can we permit this globalist cabal to decimate our freedoms? No indepdent constitutions would exist. The globalist cabal would have more power than all nations combined. The New World Order is not a conspiracy, but rather, a clear-cut plan that global agencies are openly constructing as the people turn a blind eye.
