17 States File Amicus Brief With Supreme Court in Support of Texas Election Lawsuit


Posted oginanally on The Conservative tree house on December 9, 2020 by Sundance

Late Monday night the state of Texas filed a lawsuit directly in the Supreme Court against four states: Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvan and Wisconsin. The intent is to block those states from casting their Electoral College votes for Joe Biden due to the unconstitutional nature of mail-in ballot use – against legislative approval and requirement.

Today 17 states filed an amicus brief [pdf link] in support of the Texas lawsuit.

The seventeen states include Missouri, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, and West Virginia.

As noted in the supportive filing: “The States have a strong interest in preserving the proper roles of state legislatures in the administration of federal elections, and thus safeguarding the individual liberty of their citizens.”

[…] “States have a strong interest in ensuring that the votes of their own citizens are not diluted by the unconstitutional administration of elections in other States. When non-legislative actors in other States encroach on the authority of the “Legislature thereof” in that State to administer a Presidential election, they threaten the liberty, not just of their own citizens, but of every citizen of the United States who casts a lawful ballot in that election — including the citizens of amici States.

Here’s the Full Amicus Brief:

48 States and US Government Sue Facebook for Illegal Monopoly Practices


Posted originally on The Conservative tree House on December 9, 2020 by Sundance

Facebook is facing a lawsuit filed by 48 states for monopoly practices and the FTC is joining with supportive legal action. NY Attorney General Latitia James held a news conference to announce the antitrust lawsuit using Instagram & WhatsApp as examples.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal regulators on Wednesday sued to force a breakup of Facebook as 48 states and districts accused the company in a separate lawsuit of abusing its market power in social networking to crush smaller competitors.

The antitrust lawsuits were announced by the Federal Trade Commission and New York Attorney General Letitia James. The FTC specifically asked a court to force Facebook sell off its Instagram and WhatsApp messaging services.

“It’s really critically important that we block this predatory acquisition of companies and that we restore confidence to the market,” James said during a press conference announcing the lawsuit. (read more)

Facebook is the world’s biggest social network with 2.7 billion users and a company with a market value of nearly $800 billion whose CEO Mark Zuckerberg is the world’s fifth-richest individual and the most public face of Big Tech swagger.

Google, YouTube, Announce They Will Block Content That Challenges 2020 Election Result


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on December 9, 2020 by Sundance

After the Marxist-left spent four years challenging the result of the 2016 election, forming the “resistance” and calling Donald Trump an illegitimate president; and after Big Tech supported, allowed and amplified that message on all media platforms; Big Tech’s largest control agent, Google (via YouTube), now steps-in to say they will not permit content that challenges the outcome of a demonstrably fraudulent 2020 election.

…”we will start removing any piece of content uploaded today (or anytime after) that misleads people by alleging that widespread fraud or errors changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. Presidential election.”…

(Source)

To use a familiar movie metaphor, what we are witnessing is BIG TECH activating their Death Star to destroy opposition and advance their ideological agenda on behalf of their EMPIRE.  Google Inc will target and shut-down any voice that challenges them.

While alarming and disconcerting in the extreme. This is not necessarily a bad outcome, because now the true rebellion will begin.  Now the Rebel Alliance will grow as ordinary people start to take matters much more seriously.

Keep in mind, the hypocrisy is only a small aspect, they don’t care about your opinion on this issue.  This is the advancement of a totalitarian regime goal by ‘any means necessary’.  CTH readers are smart, we saw this coming… we know how to lead a rebellion with the tools of an insurgency.

Big Tech is going to cleave the entire network of communication along ideological lines. Totalitarian leftists -vs- Freedom patriots.  Big assembled tech -vs- the Rebel Alliance.

Immediately after the Google/YouTube announcement, our friends at Right Side Broadcasting (RSBN) were notified their content would be removed.

These are historic times, unsettling times and times of great consequence.  This is why CTH has focused so extensively on the need for fellowship in all forms.  This is why CTH 2.0 is being designed with a very specific base platform.

To give you an idea of how strong our CTH community is.  The average in-bound traffic into any platform is 80 to 90% driven by search engine results (Google, Duck-Duck etc). That means Google controls 80 percent of a websites communication.

By contrast less than 10% of our CTH community comes through search engine results.  CTH is directly linked to millions of members of the Rebel Alliance without the need for Google etc, and that number is now growing on our own platform.

We have been blessed and guided. We are very fortunate.  CTH 2.0 is now, and will be, isolated from the reach of Big Tech influence.  CTH will stand bold, free and advance the position of liberty.  You will see much more in the coming weeks/months about how CTH will keep the lantern lit in the Old North Church.

In the final analysis this effort by Big Tech will fail.  There are already solutions surfacing, and there will be even more solutions coming even faster now.

Freedom is inherently an American trait.

Steadfast !

Why We No Long Have Free Press


Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics Re-Posted Dec 9, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

Here we have the people at the London FT and they are coming out in favor of Schwab’s World Economic Forum and “Stakeholder” Economics. They will NEVER publish anything to the contrary so there is no more reporting of news, it is all being orchestrated to support the Great Reset and the end of democracy. Note that they are very much against Trump and as such they will never allow anything to appear in their paper anymore which is pro-Trump or anti-Schwab. They have surrendered their journalism and become propaganda marketers.

All the British Press which was also anti-BREXIT, have surrendered journalism which is reporting the facts for the pushing of this agenda.

In advocating Stakeholder Economics they have clearly FAILED to do their research and they are advocating the abandonment of shareholder rights which defeats the very reason to buy stocks. Stakeholder Economics made its debut in 1932 BEFORE social programs existed. It proved to be a disaster and led to the worst-performing stock market in history.

Not until corporations began to abandon Stakeholder Economics after Milton Friedman’s publication criticizing it in 1970, did the market behind to perform. The low in share values relative to book value took place in 1977. This was the takeover boom of the post-1985 era. You could buy a company, sell its assets, and double or triple your money.

This was the end of Stakeholder Economics.

The Common Words of Politicians & Great Reset


Armstrong Economics Blog/France Re-Posted Dec 9, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT from FRANCE: Hello and thank you for your fantastic insights. I live in France and I just thought you may be interested in what the French President recently said in an interview he gave to a media called Brut. He was asked whether he would be a candidate for the next presidential elections in May 2022, He replied that he may have to take very harsh decisions in the last few months before the election and therefore may “not be able” to be a candidate. This made me think of articles on your blog where you suggest that elections may be canceled in 2022 and we will be in a full-blown dictatorship. The French President also said in an interview end of October “we had got used to living as individuals in a free society, but we are citizens living in solidarity”. All very worrying. Happy to share links to the interviews if needed.

Currently, we are in a semi lockdown, basically, all hospitality is closed, but we can work and shop and go to school as long as we wear masks and have a certificate (that we sign for ourselves) authorizing ourselves to leave the house for a permitted purpose”. It is downright tyrannical.
best,
NL

REPLY: President Macron said:  “Maybe I will not be able to be a candidate, maybe I will have to do things in the last year, the last months, which will be hard because the circumstances will require it and which will make it impossible for me to be a candidate, I do not exclude anything.“

This piece from the FT at the Davos 2016 is the key. The political establishment of the world sees the election of Donald Trump as very dangerous.  They call this “populism” and to them, it is NOT acceptable that the people would be allowed to vote them out of office.

Now, the words that really bothered me were: “We had got used to living as individuals in a free society, but we are citizens living in solidarity.” These are the first words of UNESCO’s founding director – Julian Huxley who was a racist and a supporter of not just a one-world government, but of eugenics whereby population should be controlled and undesirable races should be reduced.

Huxley saw the idea of the United States with individual rights as far-left as the far-right and was thus unacceptable. These people see us as the great unwashed, too stupid to understand what is best for us or society. Therefore, he was against “unrestricted individualism” and hence we should not be allowed to vote for the controlling political establishment.

This is the position of the World Economic Forum and what this “Great Reset” is all about. Democracy is to come to an end. Yet they claim they will keep some checks and balances. This is what Macron is saying. He cannot run for office and make the hard decisions because people vote. By 2022, they intend to remove all rights in our democracies and will deny us the right to vote in what they call “populism.”


This is what they are really saying by “inclusion and equality” which is their redesigning the world economy and it will be for you so you surrender your rights and they will take care of you. Note what Kerry says – there is no going back to normal. At Davos, Kerry stated that a Great Reset was urgently needed to stop the rise of populism – (i.e. Trump supporters). They regard Trump was elected by “populism” so what he was saying was to suppress Democracy itself. He is clearly stating that career politicians fear losing power. Kerry vowed that under a Biden administration, America would rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement to push the Great Reset but added, that this was “not enough.”

What if Covid Dies Out?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Dec 9, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Hi Marty,

If Covid dies out naturally before the European elections next year, what might the “Reset” crowd turn to in order to influence/alter the elections?

The WEC was terrific!  Thanks very much for making it available by live stream!  Also, thank you for the updates to Socrates.

AB

ANSWER: I do not believe that COVID is natural. There is way too much evidence that hints at this being orchestrated. I know some have tried to claim it is not real. Nevertheless, it is a REAL VIRUS. What is not known is why it impacts some severely and others no worse than the flu. The danger of COVID is that it can mutate as all viruses do. Then there is the possibility that they could just as easily release another version 2.0. Our model has forecast that there should be a rise in disease in 2022. The question is simple: will this be orchestrated? They have obviously been using the virus to blow-out all the fiscal budgets and pretend this warrants abandoning all fiscal management. Even the EU is changing its austerity regulations.

The far-left has been demanding Biden address their agenda to virtually end capitalism. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), the US version of Canada’s Justine Trudeau, is among the first female members of the Democratic Socialists of America elected to serve in Congress. Meanwhile, we have lawsuits flying around, and even now from Alice Little, the woman who claims she is the “highest-earning sex worker in the US,”who is suing the state of Nevada to reopen its brothels mid-pandemic.

This virus has been exaggerated for political purposes. Never before has any disease been so exploited. There have been seven cholera pandemics over the course of the last 200 years. The fourth pandemic lasted from 1863 to 1875 and spread from India to Naples and Spain. In 1884, the cholera pandemic hit several parts of Italy, being especially virulent in Naples. According to the contemporary prefect’s statistics, cholera affected upwards of 14,000 people in the province, killing 8000 of them, of whom 7000 perished in the city of Naples alone showing that urban living has historically been accompanied by greater risk. The state reacted by imposing a lockdown and the city was placed under martial law, and restrictions on movements were imposed under force of military action.

There is certainly precedent for turning to the military when there were real pandemics.Categories:Disease

God Bless Texas – State AG Files Direct 2020 Election Challenge Lawsuit With Supreme Court


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on December 8, 2020 by Sundance

There are only a few instances where a party can file a direct lawsuit with the U.S. Supreme Court, a state claiming harm by another state is one of those instances.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit [pdf here] with the supreme court seeking and emergency injunction against Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia “from taking action to certify presidential electors or to have such electors take any official action including without limitation participating in the electoral college.”

The Texas AG argues that arbitrary changes made by the state’s governors, secretaries of states and election supervisors were “inconsistent with relevant state laws and were made by non-legislative entities, without any consent by the state legislatures. The acts of these officials thus directly violated the Constitution.”

The lawsuit states: “these non-legislative changes … facilitated the casting and counting of ballots in violation of state law, which, in turn, violated the Electors Clause of Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution.” […] “By these unlawful acts, the Defendant States have not only tainted the integrity of their own citizens vote, but their actions have also debased the votes of citizens in Plaintiff State and other States that remained loyal to the Constitution.”

Paxton notes the intent of the states may have been changes in good faith, due to COVID-19 mitigation efforts; however, the end result of the changes is in direct violation to the Constitution and therefore creates the harm.

“Certain officials in the Defendant States presented the pandemic as the justification for ignoring state laws regarding absentee and mail-in voting.” […] “The Defendant States flooded their citizenry with tens of millions of ballot applications and ballots in derogation of statutory controls as to how they are lawfully received, evaluated, and counted. Whether well intentioned or not, these unconstitutional acts had the same uniform effect they made the 2020 election less secure in the Defendant States.”

Arrogant and Petulant Judge Sullivan Finally Dismisses Flynn Case as Moot, It’s Over


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on December 8, 2020 by Sundance

Yesterday, in a final foot-stomping and teeth-gnashing exhibition of judicial activism, federal judge Emmet Sullivan allowed a host of political amicus briefs to be provided to the case file against Lt. General Michael Flynn.

The obvious judicial intent was to legally smear General Flynn with as many corrupt and manipulative Lawfare opinions as possible. In essence Sullivan was just pouring on the dirt after President Trump stepped in and said “enough” granting Flynn a deserved, full and unconditional pardon.

I didn’t write about Sullivan’s scheme and vile nature last night because: (a) I was very angry, and (b) I suspected Sullivan’s only intent was to besmirch the good name and reputation of Flynn in the judicial record.  Ultimately Sullivan’s childish Lawfare antics held no legal or judicial merit because Flynn has been pardoned. It was all moot.

Today, after stomping his feet and throwing a verbal tantrum, as expected Judge Sullivan announces the motion to dismiss the case is granted.

I’ve got two words for you Judge Sullivan, and they ain’t Merry Christmas!

And, for the record, I ain’t too happy with AG Bill Barr in this endeavor either.

Instead of using the truth of his office to stand up to the corruption in this case, AG Barr used USAO Jeff Jensen to deliver the evidence of institutional corruption to Sidney Powell and made her expose the rotten core activity of the DOJ and FBI.

AG Bill Barr hid behind the skirt of Sidney Powell because he could not bring himself to visibly and publicly admit the institutions of the DOJ and FBI were/are compromised beyond recovery….

I wrote this ↓ in early 2019, and I stand by it; it’s exactly what happened.  FUBAR:

SSCI Vice Chairman Mark Warner, SSCI Chairman Richard Burr and Acting SSCI Chair Marco Rubio are dirty.  So too was Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson, FBI Director Chris Wray, FBI Deputy Director David Bowditch and FBI Legal Counsel Dana Boente.  Their predecessors were dirty: Comey, McCabe and Baker.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller was dirty. Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein was dirty.  All of the special counsel lawyers including Andrew Weissmann and Brandon Van Grack (Flynn prosecutor) were/are dirty.

Additionally, Mueller’s lead FBI Agent David Archey, who was promoted after the corrupt special counsel investigation to be the head of the Virginia FBI field office, dirty.  FBI official David Archey, like ICIG Michael Atkinson, conveniently put into a place where he can run cover for FBI operations that might expose dirty DC and Virgina-based FBI activities.  See how that works?

Try telling me with all we know about the Mueller investigation how anyone on the special counsel assignment was participating in a fraudulent investigation without knowing.

Special Agent Peter Strzok, dirty.  FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, dirty.  FBI Lawyer Lisa Page, dirty.  FBI media spox Michael Kortan, dirty.  James Comey, Andrew McCabe and James Baker, dirty-dirty-dirty.  Fortunately all of these are fired… but what about Supervisory Special Agent Joseph Pientka (SSA1)?  Pientka clearly outlined as dirty by Inspector General Michael Horowitz report on FISA abuse, and yet still employed; still providing cover.

So what exactly does that make IG Horowitz?  At best the lead corruption manager who comes in willfully blind behind the Bondo application team…

FUBAR.

All of it !
