Threats Continue Against Rumble Video Platform – The Background Players Seem Interestingly Connected


Posted originally on the CTH on September 25, 2023 | Sundance 

The British tabloid, The Sun, comes out with another story against the Rumble video platform today, receiving considerable condemnation for the threats and implications that appear to be coordinated by the Murdoch network.

The original sketchy hit against Russell Brand came from the Murdoch owned publication The Sunday Times.

The British Parliament then weighed in, demanding that Rumble deplatform, censor or demonetize Mr. Brand.

The Sun tabloid is now claiming that Rumble will be “regulated by UK media watchdog Ofcom under the new Online Safety Bill, which was approved by Parliament last week and is due to become law next month.”  Additionally, they claim, “failing to co-operate with Ofcom could put Rumble executives at risk of arrest if visiting Britain, it has been suggested.”

That latter claim is pure fear-porn, driven by interests who want to control the overall internet content of information on behalf of the Public-Private partnership, technically government.

However, look closely at the alignment of interests pushing this anti-Rumble narrative, and you will note something very interesting.

The Associated Press is pushing a story today that Rumble’s relationship with the Fox News Business GOP debate implicates the Republican Party with, “far-right extremism, bigotry, election disinformation and conspiracy theories.”  The Fox Business News network is owned by Rupert Murdoch.  Noticing anything yet?

Stay with me, this is going to get interesting…..

[AP] – […]  By bringing viewers to Rumble to watch the second GOP debate, as it did with the first one last month, the Republican National Committee is driving potential voters to a site crawling with content that flouts the rules of more mainstream platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

Earlier this year, RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said using Rumble instead of YouTube as its livestreaming partner was a decision aimed at “getting away from Big Tech.”

Asked about the criticism of the platform, the RNC said in an email that “hate, bigotry and violence is unfortunately prevalent on every social media platform, and the RNC condemns it entirely, but the RNC does not manage content or pages outside of our own.”

Rumble, founded in 2013, prides itself on being “immune to cancel culture.” Its website says “everyone benefits when we have access to more ideas, diverse opinions, and dialogue.”

That approach has catapulted the site to popularity in recent years as many conservatives have sought alternative social media companies that won’t remove their posts or suspend their accounts for false or inflammatory content. The company, which went public in 2022, has been backed by conservative donors such as venture capitalist Peter Thiel and Republican Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio. (read more) 

The Rumble platform is growing, as more content providers find that Rumble will stand beside them firmly against censorship and efforts to silence their voice.  Content providers are flocking to Rumble as a free and safe alternative to YouTube.  That has put Rumble in the position of being a threat to those who want control over information.

There is obviously an organized effort underway to target Rumble as we head into the 2024 election, and none of these suddenly appearing efforts are a coincidence.

Here’s my working theory.

Elon Musk needs money. The finance side of the “X platform”, or what was previously called Twitter, is very fragile – with $1.5 billion in annual debt service ($12.5bn loan), and roughly another $750+ million in operating expenses (Amazon cloud $200m, Google cloud $200m, payroll $350m est).  After Musk stripped it down, Twitter still costs around $2.25bn per year.  Current revenue is around $1bn from advertising and a few million from subscribers.  Musk has been looking for answers, and that’s why he hired Linda Yaccarino.

Billionaire Club – There is an alignment of interests here.  Musk wants eyeballs so he can give Yaccarino tools to sell the platform to potential advertising corporations.  Tucker Carlson is an eyeball resource for Musk.  However, I suspect Rupert Murdoch is the silent financial bridge that Elon needed.  That explains why Ron DeSantis was launched on Twitter.

Recently Rupert Murdoch stated he was stepping down from the board of Fox.  This would clear the runway of leftist controversy in supporting Twitter. At the same time, Murdoch’s media empire is launching attacks against Rumble and has a connection to all of the anti-Rumble narratives swirling.  [ Imagine if Tucker Carlson found out Musk and Murdoch were aligned.]

According to insider sources, not directly connected to Rumble, Peter Thiel is dumping Rumble stock and may be using that money to invest in a rumored Tucker Carlson media platform.  The one thing they (Peter, Elon, Rupert) would not want is for Tucker to switch his transitional broadcast away from Twitter.

I suspect that behind this obvious Murdoch targeting of Rumble, there’s something like this that connects this all to the Murdoch effort to manipulate political outcomes.  This guy is notorious for trying to manipulate U.S. politics, and the next story that follows is a clear example…..

Last points.

We need to support Rumble.

When an ally in the fight against those attempting to control information comes under attack, we need to support them.  Here’s three ways:

♦ Download the app.

♦ Invest in Rumble stock.

♦ Become a registered user on the platform.

Sea Island Cries Uncle? – GA Governor Brian Kemp Says He Will Support Donald Trump if GOP Nominee


Posted originally on the CTH on September 24, 2023 | Sundance 

I don’t trust this crew as far as I can spit; however, this has the potential to be an inflection point.  But we need to watch carefully.

In an interview with the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp says he will support Donald Trump if he is the victorious nominee from the GOP primary contest.   Suspicious cat remains, well, suspicious.

“Despite all of that, despite all of his other trials and tribulations, [Trump] would still be a lot better than Biden. And the people serving in the administration would be a lot better than Joe Biden. And it has nothing to do with being a coward. It has everything to do with winning and reversing the ridiculous, obscene positions of Joe Biden and this administration that literally, in a lot of ways, are destroying our country.” (read more)

Joe Sends Gavin to the RNC Debate at The Reagan Library


Posted originally on the CTH on September 23, 2023 | Sundance 

Most people say the DNC 2024 candidate will be determined by a DNC primary process.  My response:

Pish-Paw! You think the party that kills babies, sterilizes young boys and cuts the tits off young women are going to restrain themselves to cultural, political or electoral norms in 2024? GTFOH. The DNC nominee will be decided by a vote of delegates at the convention in Chicago.

My gut instinct tells me Joe Biden will deliver a magnanimous speech written for him saying he is not able to accept the nomination, perhaps with a medical narrative attached, and therefore the baton must be handed to a new generation of progressive leadership.

This approach resets the entire narrative and deflated dynamic within the DNC electorate.  Immediately an infusion of energy will be created to propel the appointed baton owner into the stratosphere with intense media promotion.  Thrills up legs will be had, and the real 2024 race will begin. Prepare your affairs accordingly.

WASHINGTON – President Biden’s reelection campaign is sending California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) to the Republican presidential primary debate to lead response efforts.

Newsom will be on the ground in Simi Valley, in his home state, to push back on Republican comments and highlight anything the Biden team deems to be extreme rhetoric out of the debate. The governor will lead that effort alongside Biden-Harris campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez and Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison.

“The campaign response builds off the strong and effective plan from the first debate with a clear north star: push back on Republicans’ lies and highlight their extremism at every turn. Our response will ensure we hold every Republican and their extreme positions accountable,” Biden campaign advisers said.

The Wednesday debate will be hosted by Fox Business Network and is expected to have a large focus on the Republicans’ economic strategy. Former President Trump is not expected to join the debate, after not attending the first one in August, but the Biden campaign expects the so-called MAGA agenda to be on display.

“You can expect the Biden campaign and our allies to point out the stark contrast between Bidenomics and the extreme MAGAnomics policies we’ll hear on the debate stage,” advisers said. (read more)

Pentagon Study Finds Old Threat


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Sep 20, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Funded by the Pentagon, the RAND Corporation’s National Security Research Division published its annual report to note potential risks to national security. RAND researchers found that aging politicians may be a danger to the US. “Taken together, we believe that an increasing number of cleared personnel — that is, personnel who hold or have held security clearances — have or will have dementia,” concluded the RAND researchers.

Joe Biden has the codes to our nuclear weapons, allegedly, but can’t recall what he had for breakfast. McConnell has begun freezing amid conferences and everyone looks the other way. Feinstein relinquished the rights of her own estate because she doesn’t trust her current mental health. We’ve seen Biden make countless remarks about his handlers telling him where to go, who to call upon, and what to say. Yet even though these people work for us, they refuse to leave office.

Researchers found that aging US politicians have “difficulty remembering new information, poor judgment, impulsivity, disorientation, and behavioral changes.” We’ve seen the commander-in-chief exhibit all of these symptoms. The report notes that those with dementia are very vulnerable and may be targeted by an adversary. It is not possible for someone with this degenerative condition to hold onto classified information, let alone make informed decisions on behalf of the nation.

RAND researchers believe that the US government should codify a process to keep track of elderly individuals with security clearances to monitor them for symptoms of dementia. Our current Congress is the oldest in American history. The average Democratic senator is 65, while the average Republican senator is 63. Joe Biden became the oldest president of the United States at 77, and 77% of Americans believe he is simply to old for a second term. Dementia is a completely avoidable threat to national security if we hold elected officials accountable.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy Uses Castellanos Move w/ Trump to Avoid Budget Criticism


Posted originally on the CTH on September 18, 2023 | Sundance | 202 Comments

Speaker Kevin McCarthy was full of effusive praise for President Trump yesterday as he took questions about the controversial budget deal still being developed in the House.

Appearing with Fox News Maria Bartiromo, McCarthy randomly brought up President Trump’s strong position against Joe Biden and then contrasted the ability of Trump against the ever-diminishing Ron DeSantis.   However, look carefully at what McCarthy is doing in this soundbite; this guy is the consummate weasel politician.

By cuddling up close to President Trump, it’s obvious McCarthy is seeking to deflect criticism for his UniParty willingness.  WATCH (Prompted):

Buzbee Does It Again – AG Asst Who Claimed Ken Paxton Took Bribe via Kitchen Remodel Admits Remodel Never Took Place


Posted originally on the CTH on September 13, 2023 | Sundance 

Once again, the innuendo and supposition by Ken Paxton accusers runs into reality.  Previously Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s personal assistant, Drew Wicker, made an accusation that a Texas donor named Nate Paul funded a kitchen remodel for Paxton.   A quid pro quo to sell influence.

However, during cross examination today, Drew Wicker admitted the kitchen remodel never took place, and the actual details of the home remodel being done by Paxton was taking place *after* the office “whistleblowers” went to the FBI with their ungrounded claims.   Paxton’s attorney Tony Buzbee showed Drew Wicker pictures of the kitchen taken three years ago and also taken last month.  There was never any remodel work completed.  This is the central point of the alleged bribery. WATCH:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=Wa6aemT2R0c%3Ffeature%3Doembed

The prosecutors tried to deny the pictures were correctly dated or real, and then Tony Buzbee says let’s drive over there and look at the kitchen your honor. 

The baseline of this entire impeachment has become a joke.  A bunch of Bush aligned prosecutors, and staff from Texas, manufactured a case of rumor and innuendo against Attorney General Ken Paxton simply because Paxton defeated George P. Bush, their preferred candidate.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy Announces Formal Impeachment Investigation of Biden, Led by James Comer, Jim Jordan and Jason Smith


Posted originally on the CTH on September 12, 2023 | Sundance 

I wish I could find something positive and optimistic in this announcement; unfortunately, the posturing moves of the DC machinery never lead to a genuine level of accountability. The UniParty protects its own.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announces the beginning of a formal impeachment inquiry stemming from the financial fraud and schemes deployed by the Biden family as they sold their positions for personal financial gain. WATCH:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=Of_w0WpzSoY%3Ffeature%3Doembed

[Transcript] – “In recent months, House Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden’s conduct; taken together, these allegations paint a picture of a culture of corruption.

“Now, here’s what we know so far:

“Through our investigations, we have found that President Biden lied to the American people about knowledge of his family’s foreign business dealings.

“Eyewitnesses have testified that the President joined multiple phone calls and had multiple interactions, dinners, resulting in cars and millions of dollars to his son and his son’s business partners.

“Bank records show that nearly $20 million in payments were directed to Biden family members and associates through various shell companies.

“The Treasury Department, alone, has more than 150 transactions involving the Biden family and other business associates that were flagged as “suspicious activity” by U.S. banks.

“Even a trusted FBI informant has alleged a bribe to the Biden family.

“Biden used his official office to coordinate with Hunter Biden’s business partners about Hunter’s role in Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company.

“Finally, despite these serious allegations, it appears that the President’s family has been offered special treatment by Biden’s own administration; treatment he would not otherwise have received if he were not related to the President.

“These are allegations of abuse of power, obstruction, and corruption, and they warrant further investigation by the House of Representatives.

“That’s why today, I am directing our House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. This logical next step will give our committees the full power to gather all the facts and answers for the American public.

“It’s exactly what we want to know, the answers, and I believe the President would want to answer these questions and allegations as well.

“This effort will be led by Chairman James Comer at the Committee on Oversight, in coordination with Chairman Jim Jordan of the Judiciary Committee and Chairman Jason Smith on Ways and Means.

“I don’t make this decision lightly. And Regardless of your party or who you may have voted for, these facts should concern all Americans.

“The American people deserve to know that public offices are not for sale – and that the federal government is not being used to cover up the actions of a politically-associated family.

“I would encourage the President and his team to fully cooperate with this investigation in the interest of transparency.

“We are committed to getting the answers for the American public – nothing more, nothing less.

“We will go wherever the evidence takes us.”

Iowa Republican Party Begins to Make Their Move Against MAGA – Reminder of The Core Battle


Posted originally on the CTH on September 3, 2023 | Sundance 

Before outlining the moves of the GOPe/RNC/RGA as they are unfolding in Iowa, it is absolutely critical for people to understand the landscape of American politics.

The functional mission of the UniParty apparatus is not based on ideology; the core and consequential baseline revolves around the business of American politics and the motives of the people who control the institutions within it.  For this outline I focus only on the Republican wing, the GOP corporation, one side of the professional business apparatus.

WRITE THIS DOWN and force yourself to remember it every day.  “The Republican Party priority is to retain their business, to control the outcomes, and this has nothing to do with winning elections.”  The RNC would rather lose elections and retain power, than win elections and lose operational control over the apparatus.

In the past several decades, the motive of a Republican or Democrat politician advancing their influence by running for political office has absolutely nothing to do with representing the interests of the American people.  Nothing.  Their interests are to engage within the business of politics, while presenting themselves as qualified actors to retain the premise of political service.  This is why they will spend $10 million to win an office that only pays $400k/yr.

The business of buying, selling and controlling policy, is the core operation of people within the US political system.  As an outcome, the business has two wings – the RNC and the DNC.  Two private corporations inside the political industry who are in place to retain the overall business model.  The RNC and DNC are both funded by the same interests, banks, corporations, Wall St interests, and even foreign interests who purchase outcomes.

The RNC and DNC are two operational wings inside the industry of politics.  The are in the same business, but they have slightly different business models.

The Republicans (RNC) want money, the Democrats (DNC) want power.  The Republicans use power to get money, the Democrats use money to get power.  The donor activity of the Republicans drives their agenda.  The agenda of the Democrats drives their donor activity.  It is a subtle nuance, but once you really understand it, everything falls into place.

The Republican politicians are ambivalent to the outcomes of the Democrats.  The Republican group only cares about the money.  Threaten the power of the Democrats and you get a toxic and violent response.  Threaten the money of the Republicans and you get exactly the same level of response.

Democrats are triggered when you threaten their power, their ability to control.  Republicans are triggered when you threaten their money, their ability to enrich.

The primary of 2024 is the election season when we see firsthand this corporate battle explode inside in the Republican group.  Decades of entrenched power are at stake, and there have been four years of counter positioning and backroom discussion leading up to this moment.

As a consequence, and I know this might sound odd to many people – but winning and/or losing elections becomes a secondary issue.  The people who control the RNC as a private corporation, the people who fund the business, are not focused on winning elections. The RNC corporation is focused on retaining mission control.

The RNC want to give the illusion of support for MAGA conservatism, because the illusion of choice requires a base voter.  However, every move they make on an operational level is exactly in line with their previous outlook toward cocktail-class corporate republicanism.  The MAGA base of support cannot trust this corporate group, and we must not be blind or unguarded about the Machiavellian schemes they construct.

Donald Trump is not a problem for the Republican Party; Donald Trump is our response to the problem within the Republican Party.

Republicans are far more violent, hate-filled and vitriolic than Democrats when their money is threatened.  As long as the money is not threatened, Republicans happily play the game and permit the Democrats to purchase their votes and support.  However, threaten the money of the Republicans, and they will be the very first to go nuclear… including the intentional loss of any/all elections in order to preserve their stake.

This dichotomy, ambivalence and illusion, is what you saw in the 2018 midterms, 2020 general and 2022 midterms from the professional Republicans.  The MAGA team, who identify as Republicans as a method for ballot entry, are the only ones who will fight to change this dynamic.  Therefore, the Republican Party views the MAGA insurgents as the enemy that must be removed.

Now, to Iowa…

The Republican Party of Iowa Central Committee has refused to set a date by which a voter must choose Republican voter affiliation in order to participate in the January 15 caucus.  The private club is positioning to block the MAGA insurgency and advance the DeSantis operation; because if the approved RNC candidate doesn’t win in Iowa, Godzilla Trump will take the momentum and destroy the club.

The result is that Iowa Democrats (who have screwed up their own caucuses, so they will be free on Jan. 15) will swarm the Republican caucuses to cause mischief.  Iowans, who are not stupid, know exactly what “mischief” means in this context.  At best it means a rough night and some bruises.  At worst, ask Joe Biggs.

This is an inside job by the Republican Party of Iowa.  During the legislative session earlier this year, they were all set to pass a bill setting the deadline for registration at 70 days prior to the caucus date.  Then, suddenly, the “lawyers” said legislators had to take that provision out, and that the Republican Party of Iowa would handle it by resolution.

The private corporation needs control.

As we have witnessed in Georgia, watch the professional party apparatus in Iowa align with a singular mission, to protect their business model.

♦ In Iowa – the SEA ISLAND DeSantis crew have funded and planted Asa Hutchinson and Mike Pence to camp out.  They are supported by Governor Kim Reynolds.  The goal is to use the Jeff Roe Cruz Crew, and roughly 1,000 paid Never Back Down (NBD) conscripts to do the Astroturf.

Let me emphasize a key point.  The Republican Party is not positioning to win the 2024 election. The goal of the Republican Party is to remove the threat represented by Donald Trump.  When you start there, all of the RNC weaknesses or flaws look very different, very purposeful.

Donald J. Trump isn’t the cause of the Republican failure; he is the result of their failure.

The people in control of Republican Club do not care who is in the White House, that is a secondary objective.  What they care about right now is controlling the Republican corporation and stopping the hostile takeover.

Core Jonah Goldberg, the Biggest Problem for the Republican Party Is That We Still Permit Voting


Posted originally on the CTH on August 15, 2023 | Sundance 

Sometimes revealing a communist is a little like taking off a Band-Aid. You’ve got to pick at the edges a little bit until you can get enough gripped to rip it off.

It has been a decade since Jonah Goldberg and I had our back-and-forth editorial debate about “modern republicanism.”  [He lost both a massive number of readers and credibility.] In the years since, we are both exactly the same people; the only difference is – his mask has completely dropped and he’s no longer pretending.

In this brutally perfect appearance on his new network gig, CNN, Jonah Goldberg, the pontificating pustule of totalitarian elitism, declares the “small donor” influence in the Republican Party, ie. MAGA and working class grassroots support, is the problem for those (private club) corporate officers who have high-minded control.

...”I just also think that we are dealing with a time, where for a lot of people, there’s a lot of people cheering and self-congratulation about the rise of small donors a decade ago. And now small donors are actually one of the biggest problems for, well, democracy in the GOP. Because, um, large donors have a strategic view about moderation, who can win and who can’t. Small donors really are just venting their spleen with their credit card, and they lock candidates into positions that can hurt them in the general election.”…

.

There is a particular brand of GOPe hypocrisy around a worldview that spouts unbridled capitalism as the solution to all the economic woes [NOTE: in reality, they really don’t believe that, but they pretend not to be advocates of massive conglomerate corporatism], and yet they rail against the unwashed masses having a voice in the democratic process.

As our “Last Refuge” of liberty noted years ago, the ushers in conservative media were/are really closeted communists. Identically aligned and elite minded sanctimonious frauds, loading sheep onto intellectual cattle cars. The professional Republicans don’t believe in conserving anything other than the power structure that produces their affluence and influence.

Peel the skin off a professional Republican, and you will find a communist demanding you sit quietly, then insert vote, pull lever, take your pellet, shut up and leave the building.  That’s who they are.

The best, and I do mean absolutely the best and greatest thing about Donald J. Trump, is how he forced all the professional Republican snipers to reveal their positions.

… “Don’t worry. We got this. We just need to convince the part of the crowd carrying the pitchforks, that the part of the crowd carrying the torches are trying to take their pitchforks away.“…

…”You organize Goldberg, Levin, Shapiro, Horowitz, Ingraham, Solomon, Hannity, Loesch and Beck.  While we organize, Brennan, Stephanopoulos, Cooper, Burnett, Collins, Tapper, Maddow, Bash and Todd”…
