45 Days


Posted originally on the CTH on September 20, 2024 | Sundance

Reflection.   45 Days!

Are the next 45 days really about the political battles before us.  Or is it really a time of purposeful distinction. purposeful division.

Is it really about Donald Trump -vs- Kamala Harris, or is it really about choosing between good -vs- evil.

LUKE 12:51-56

(51) “Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. (52) From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. (53) They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

(54) He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does. (55) And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is. (56) Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time?”

We can all sense it.  Even if we turn away to engage in busyness as a distraction, the sense will not subside.

There is a great urgency needed in our communication with our family, friends, loved ones and overall community.  Do not negate your righteousness, nor diminish your instinctual value.  Do not fear.

Do not fear.

45 days!

Those who speak out are targeted, ridiculed, belittled, alinsky’d and shouted down until they are proved right.

Again and again, and again, and again, we were made to watch, or to endure the crude, bullying tactics of the social playground. Reasoned debate and argument have long since gone over the hill into uncomfortable history.

Now, the next 45 days, we enter one long slugfest, in which the loudest, angriest and most effectively insulting voices will seek to win by volume alone, so often echoed by mainstream media who hold reasoned voices in contempt; apparently preferring to ridicule and diminish rather than provide genuine space for those who had simple questions in need of non-pretending answers.

However, again and again, those shouted down are revealed as having been right all along.

If you are a regular reader of this site, you are generally a person who engages in intellectual discussion on daily events and more than likely a root cause thinker.  You do not pretend.  Meaning, you are able to grasp events at their cause and not at their consequence.

The challenge for all of us now is getting those who understand the big picture dynamics to stop being comfortable and sticking their heads in the sand about “motive.”

Most people are still clinging to beliefs around a principle of ‘rule of law’ that applies to national leadership writ large.   We need to change that thinking quickly – or we will be left explaining ‘what happened’ again, far too late.

There is also an issue with conservative “ushers” guiding their audience into a state of tactical numbness.  A willful blindness within part of the American electorate, a chosen refusal to acknowledge the implications of the unAmerican and unconstititional actions we are seeing on a daily basis.

It can no longer be presumed to be a matter of, “I can’t see what’s happening”, because a whole lot of normal Americans are clean and articulate.  “I can’t see it”, just doesn’t cut it.

Perhaps we see what is happening, but it’s scary and complicated and confusing.  Worse still, if we admit that we can see it, we become responsible in a way that we are not if we keep pretending, we can’t see it or hear it, or maybe don’t understand it.

Be honest inside your prayers.

Are we a bit afraid that if we give up the willful blindness we will perhaps start screaming, releasing the pent-up anger, and not be able to stop?

Fear not! Do we think we have so little courage? Do we really believe that we have no resources to bring to the battle? Or nothing more to contribute to the turning of the battle?  I do not believe this to be true.

I believe in all of us.

My faith is strong. I believe in righteousness.  I believe in a loving and purposeful God, and I believe in our ability to win.

We cannot escape the choosing.  We must not escape the choosing. Trust me when I say your resolve, while extremely important now, is going to become even more important in the next 47 days.

Whether you want to accept it or not, we are all in this battle.

Believe me – no one gets to avoid this one.

We need to get hard now.

We need to fight like we are the third monkey on the ramp to Noah’s ark,… and brother, it’s starting to rain!

\

.

President Donald Trump will win, because we will win.

We are having ballot challenging successes in the specific areas that count most.

We will win.

All my deepest love and appreciation for your fellowship,

Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe Gives Update on USSS Investigation and Holds a Press Briefing


Posted originally on the CTH on September 20, 2024 | Sundance

Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe held a press conference today outlining the results of an investigative review of USSS failures.  A five-page summary of the report was released. {SEE HERE} According to Director Rowe, a full report on the findings of the investigation will soon be released.

The press briefing was Director Rowe giving details about the results of the investigation in advance of the report being published.  WATCH:

[5-PAGE Summary Report HERE]

WASHINGTON DC – […] Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe said in a press conference that an unspecified number of agency personnel will face repercussions for the lapses that left one person dead and the former president and two others injured, though he declined to detail the possible punishments.

Rowe also repeatedly pledged a “paradigm shift” that would make the agency more “agile” in protecting the nation’s top politicians. But he warned that the agency is “burning through a lot of assets and resources” as it extends the same level of protection to Trump as the sitting president and vice president and called for more.

“We are not capitalizing on a crisis,” Rowe said. “We have finite resources, and we are stretching those resources to their maximum right now.” (read more)

Warning about WWIII


As one who worked in a nuclear power plant, in transmission, substations, distribution, and as one who served in Vietnam, I have to issue a dire warning to readers about what the Neocons/Warmongers are pushing for in their drive to cause World War III to come about.

No, it’s not just a warning from Trump.  Headlines from many sources are stating that Putin says giving long range missiles to Ukraine will cause Russia to take action by seeing the US as a direct part of the war.  Yet the US has many people calling for those same missiles.  There are neocons on both sides of Congress and the Administration has them as well.  However, so does Russia.  So does China and Iran and England and Germany.  They are all over.  These ghoulish people feed on death and destruction.  If Russia goes to war with us and Europe, then China & Iran will side with Russia. 

We no longer make large transformers in the US.  Large transformers raise the voltage from power plant generators that is sent over transmission lines and then lower at substations to be sent to our homes and businesses.  I am not sure about power plant generators, but I would bet most, if not all, are made in China and elsewhere overseas. 

The controls for the generators, circuit breakers, reclosers, etc. are probably either made overseas or with components from overseas. 

What are modern military targets?  Well, as seen in the Gulf war, they include power plants and large substations.  Got it?  So, Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea would send missiles with nuclear bombs to those sites, to water treatment plants, as well as all major US Cities.  Now visualize the aftermath. Say you are lucky to survive.  You have no power nor water nor food and it will most likely be decades before some power is available.  Everywhere you go, there is radioactive contamination (dust, etc.) all over and that radiation will cause you to have horrible deaths. 

Did I forget about drugs?  Where do almost all our prescription drugs come from?  China.  That means no prescription medications, including antibiotics, will be available for decades. 

So, when you vote, please consider whether you are voting for an advocate for war or a person who seeks peace.  Not peace through surrender, but true peace through wisdom and negotiation.

HUD Explores Cash over Housing Vouchers


using Vouchers

Posted originally on Sep 20, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

socialism.meme_

The Department of Housing and Urban Development is toying with the idea of providing American renters cash aid instead of vouchers. Current vouchers only demand that tenants pay 30% of their income on rent, while the US taxpayers foot the rest of the bill. The department says it is still too difficult for would-be tenants to use these vouchers and would like to provide them with cash to use as they see fit.

Pilot programs are appearing across America. Philadelphia swapped out vouchers with cash for 300 renters across the city. Since the government is incapable of efficiently running these smaller programs, the waitlist for housing vouchers in Philadelphia overwhelmed the city to the point that it was shut down for a decade. Those in the pilot program earn under 50% of the local median income with a child under the age of 15. Not only is their portion of rent reduced to 30% of income, but the government has provided them with debit cards to cover the additional portion of rent. Technically, they can spend it however they see fit.

Housing development agencies say cash is preferable to vouchers as landlords bypass discrimination laws and are more likely to reject potential tenants who use government vouchers. If someone has a business, does it not make more sense that they would be hesitant to partner with someone who they know cannot pay? Advocates believe “red tape” items like unit inspections are causing delays. Advocates also insist that providing cash will directly will help these people move to safer neighborhoods, neighborhoods where the residents work and pay their share of taxes into the system. These people insist that everything should be done to provide for those who remain underemployed or underemployed without addressing the root problem.

Over 2 million Americans currently receive housing vouchers funded by taxpayers who are already struggling to house themselves, and over 12.9% of Americans receive some form of government assistance. Housing debt far surpasses any other for the majority of US households. That 2 million figure DOES NOT account for the 11+ illegal migrants and counting who the American taxpayers must also shelter. The US government is overtly incentivizing people NOT to work at this point. Why work a low-skill job when you can sit back and collect far more than you would from a paycheck? Why work toward a higher-paying career when you’re being handed cash with no strings attached? Why believe in the union of marriage when you’re paid more to have children out of wedlock? There is no emphasis on personal financial responsibility in the current system, as socialism relies on everyone sharing the burden of poverty.

Harris Admits She Does Not Respect the Second Amendment


Posted originally on Sep 20, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

They say it’s a conspiracy or exaggeration at best to claim the Democrats want to decimate the Second Amendment. The left talking points claim that they merely want to curtail access to guns, but resurface interviews prove that is simply not the case. Kamala Harris admitted that she believes authorities should have access to citizen’s private residences to “check to see if they’re being responsible” with firearms.

Second Amendment

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Fourth Amendment

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

Unconstitutional

Encoded in the United States Constitution is the ability to bear arms. Our Bill of Rights clearly dictates that the government may not infringe upon our rights as American citizens to bear arms. Elsewhere, the Constitution forbids illegal searches and seizures. Yet, this is precisely what we could expect under a Harris presidency.

“We’re going to require responsible behaviors among everybody in the community, and just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn’t mean that we’re not going to walk into that home and check to see if you’re being responsible,” Harris once said in 2007 when acting as district attorney of San Francisco.

Did she not attend law school? Harris claims she herself owns a fire arm, but per usual, rules for thee and not for me. Even far-left Governor Newsom called these measures extremes. “We’re not going to knock on everybody’s door, we’re not going to break in and inspect,” Newsom once said when questioned about gun regulation. Harris disagreed and said that these extreme measures would benefit the government in encouraging “certain types of behavior.” ‘When we create laws, it’s not only about creating an opportunity, if you will, to prosecute someone for committing a crime, but more importantly, when we legislate our values, it’s about trying to encourage certain types of behavior,” she said.

Harris does not respect American freedoms provided by the Constitution. Straight from the horse’s mouth, Harris believes LEGAL gun owners should live in fear of Big Brother barging in their home at any moment, violating both the Second and Fourth Amendments. She does not respect the First Amendment for free speech and likely will tie in “misinformation” with those “shared values” that permit the government to determine who may and may not defend themselves.

Interesting Detail – U.S. Secret Service Agent Was Less Than 10 feet Away When He Shot at Ryan Routh


Posted originally on the CTH on September 19, 2024

The U.S. Secret Service gave congressional investigators a briefing on the Trump assassination attempt by Ryan Routh at Trump National in Florida. According to Florida Representative Mike Waltz, who is a member of the committee investigating, apparently the U.S. Secret Service agent walked up on Routh from the fence line and saw the barrel of the SKS rifle. The proactive shots fired by the agent were from within 10 feet of Ryan Routh.

The detail comes at the end of this discussion segment with Laura Ingraham. (Prompted) – WATCH:

Mike Waltz repeats how the FBI are keeping all of the pertinent details surrounding the assassination attempt concealed from the investigating committee under the auspices of an ongoing investigation.  Waltz is calling for transparency in both the Pennsylvania attempt and the Florida attempt; however, despite the USSS providing information, anything from the FBI is not being shared.

The detail of a single USSS agent, accidentally discovering Ryan Routh on the fence line further emphasizes just how fortunate we are that this assassination attempt was foiled.  It appears the agent just coincidentally walked up on Routh’s position during a standard security sweep, and immediately fired shots after seeing the barrel of the gun.  Yikes!

The presence of God’s intervention is in these types of details.

Florida Governor Says FBI Blocked State Investigators From Trump Assassination Crime Scene


Posted originally on the CTH on September 19, 2024 | Sundance

If you get beyond Laura Ingraham’s severe fan-girling for her “top gov” hero, within this interview segment you will notice that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says the FBI blocked state investigators from the fence line crime scene.

Apparently in Georgia and New York the federal government defers jurisdiction to New York and Georgia prosecution over federal matters surrounding President Trump, but in Florida the feds assert unilateral jurisdiction over the assassination attempt of President Trump.

In essence, in New York and Georgia the Biden administration (DOJ) don’t care what the state does against Trump’s interests; however, in Florida the Biden administration (DOJ) are concerned about what the state might do to defend Trump’s interests.  Imagine that.  And yet Merrick Garland says the DOJ operates without political motives?

TRANSCRIPT:

Ingraham: Now, Governor, I want to turn to another topic because we were relieved to hear that you are doing your own independent investigation in Florida concerning the second assassination attempt on President Trump. My question to you tonight is, are the feds being cooperative with your investigation? Are you concerned that you’re not getting the information you need?

Gov. DeSantis: The answer is no; they’re not being cooperative. Yes, I am concerned. For example, we were rebuffed—our investigators were rebuffed just going to the fence line outside of Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. I think they’ve taken the position that they don’t want the state of Florida to be involved in this. But here’s the thing: there were multiple violations of Florida law across multiple jurisdictions.

We believe at least three judicial circuits where this guy, Ryan Routh, committed potential violations of Florida law. We have a duty to investigate this. We have a duty to bring the appropriate charges. And we also have a duty to inform the public about how this happened. So, I don’t anticipate them being cooperative. I think they’ve just taken that position, and that’s unfortunate.

Even though I’ve been very clear—the state of Florida is going to do an investigation—I haven’t disputed their right to investigate as well. It’s the federal government. He was in their protective custody as a presidential candidate but let us do this. Hopefully, that will change. But I can tell you right now, Laura, we have not received much of a receptive response.

Ingraham: Very disturbing. By the way, we have Routh’s mugshot, where he looks to be slightly smirking. He’s a very strange individual, to say the least. But we’ve heard other FBI agents, former agents, and governors say they find it odd that in both the first assassination attempt and the second, there’s almost an immediate response from the feds saying, “Oh, looks like he acted alone,” or, “We really don’t know what the motives are here.” Does that strike you as strange?

Gov. DeSantis: Yeah, I don’t think the public has confidence when that is being done. As soon as we got word of this on Sunday, I told our state law enforcement guys to save all of his social media because, you know, Facebook will delete it. The tech companies will delete it. Right, get his digital trail, store that, because we need to know how he ended up in Florida to begin with. What path did this guy take to end up in those bushes trying to assassinate the former president of the United States and current Republican nominee? How did that happen?

We haven’t gotten answers about Butler, and we haven’t gotten answers about things like the Las Vegas shooting from many years ago. So part of our investigation will be to provide evidence of his motive, evidence of his associations, and evidence of his beliefs. I think it’s very important that the public gets the real story.

Ingraham: Yeah, well, the FBI has shredded its own credibility. And Governor, thank goodness you’re doing an investigation. I was so happy to hear that. It’s wonderful to see you tonight. Thank you so much.

.

NOTE:  If you are so inclined, watch this narrative space very closely.  DeSantis is politically positioning against the backdrop of this second assassination attempt and the fact that it happened in Florida.  He’s talking, and his fan club is very happy about it; but actions speak louder than words.  Watch.

In particular, keep watching this ‘opportunistic’ positioning space with both DeSantis and RFK Jr, against the backdrop of New York Judge Merchan saying he will wait to sentence President Trump until after the November election.  Trust your instincts and watch how these two guys’ maneuver for larger influence.

On the other part of this, the FBI is, well, you know…. Da Comrades! The FSB.

Australia Prioritizing the Creation of a Wholesale CBDC


Posted Sep 19, 2024 By Martin Armstrong |  

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is rapidly developing a wholesale central bank digital currency (CBDC) as developed nations move toward a cashless society. RBA Assistant Governor Brad Jones announced that the bank is launching Project Acacia next month, with the goal of developing a wholesale CBDC within the next three years.

The first form of this digital currency is not yet intended for retail, but extensive research has gone into determining how Australia can transition away from hard currency. Last year, the central bank partnered with the Digital Finance Cooperative Research Center (DFCRC) to determine the best methods to begin transitioning away from the Australian dollar, with reports last stating “a CBDC could be viewed more as an enabling complement to, rather than substitute for, private sector innovation.” The program studied corporate bond settlements by the Australian Bonds Exchange, tokenized FX settlements, as well as offline payments from ANZ bank. The pilot program was met with some difficulties, but the central bank is now committed to uncovering the proper method prior to deployment. “Some uncertainties related to the bespoke nature of the pilot CBDC itself. For instance, the pilot CBDC was issued as a contractual liability of the RBA rather than under a legislative framework, as would likely be the case if a decision was ever made to issue a CBDC in the future,” the report added.

Jones indicated that industry forums will begin in 2025 to discover methods for deploying both wholesale and retail methods. “We have benefited significantly from engagement with industry and the academic community on various CBDC issues over recent years, and we now seek to put more structure around this dialogue,” he said. “These forums would play a similar role to those the RBA has convened in recent years with economists from industry and academia, to hear different views on monetary policy issues.”

For now, wholesale CBDC and tokenized commercial bank deposits are the priority. Jones called recent developments “revolutionary,” as they very well will change our monetary system. About 98% of the global economy, or 134 countries, are exploring methods to launch CBDCs successfully. The Australian Government will be the final decision-maker on the matter, and rest assured all governments are eager to implement an effective digital currency as soon as possible as they believe they will see a large uptick in taxation as no “money” can find its way off the grid under this system. Some of my sources say that governments believe they can increase taxation by up to 35% under a cashless society. “If cash usage continues to decline, it has been suggested in some jurisdictions that a retail CBDC may be needed to preserve monetary sovereignty,” Jones further stated.
