See the Signals Through the Noise

At the same time that Benjamin Netanyahu is in Washington DC to rally U.S. support for the ongoing Israeli conflict against Hamas in Gaza, FBI Director Chris Wray is informing congress of the potential for domestic Iranian interests to be involved in the assassination attempt against President Trump.

What does each narrative have in common?

When outgoing President Barack Obama had his final “transition” meeting with incoming President Donald Trump, he informed the incoming administration the biggest geopolitical threat to national security interests comes from North Korea. President-elect Trump asked President Obama if he had ever spoken to Chairman Kim Jong-un.  The response was that U.S. policy is not to reward aggressors with direct contact.  As the story is told, those types of discussions are perceived within the USG as rewarding our adversaries.

That was that.

Subsequently, and in a complete departure from national security norms and USG policy as created by those who run USG policy – ie. The Deep State, President Trump told his national security team to arrange contact with Chairman Kim.  I will not repeat the week-to-week events, but not surprisingly, things radically changed.

The intelligence community (IC), the true control elements of the deepest part of our USG Deep State, were not happy.  When President Trump spoke to Chairman Kim, he violated one of the governing sacraments constructing the walls around the compartmented Silos.

If a president is told it is raining outside while sitting in a room without windows, is it really raining?

….Back to the IC and Iran.

Today while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is warning about the great threat that Iran represents, Director Chris Wray is telling congress of the likelihood that domestic Iranian influences might, repeat – might, have been associated with contact toward Thomas Crooks, the Trump assassin.

Netanyahu is warning congress.  Wray is warning congress.  Both warnings seemingly identify the same “enemy.”

President Netanyahu is going to Mar-a-Lago to tell President Trump the same message.

Should we see a signal through the noise, or just brush it off?

Again, it is irrelevant for the purposes of this discussion whether it is true or untrue.  What matters is who is assembling the information that Chris Wray is telling congress?

Chris Wary maybe a willing salesperson, willfully blind, or just an idiot who speaks to the constructed analysis of those within the IC who relay information to his office.  Again, it matters not.

If the assassin had succeeded, at the end of a long and painful period of investigation, would the 1,500-page report on the assassination of Trump, the ‘mistakes were made dissertation’, eventually end with the 17-agency IC conclusion that Iran was a culprit?  Thankfully, we will never know.

I return to the originating example….

… Would President Donald Trump in 2025 ever be allowed to make contact with the leaders in Iran?  Would he try?  Are all of these current elements trying to ensure such a proposition never takes place.

We can easily predict that President Trump will stop the Russia -vs- Ukraine conflict very quickly, because the USA is essentially the unspoken source of that conflict.

A change in USA policy completely changes the dynamic in Ukraine.  However, the same domestic political voices that are beneficiaries of that Ukraine conflict are the same domestic voices who are beneficiaries of the Israel/Gaza conflict.  The difference is that we clearly see the former, the latter is only just starting to surface.

The IC most likely won’t be able to stop Trump from ending the Russia/Ukraine war, but they will try.  However, the IC might be able to stop Trump from ending the Iran/Israel war.

Is that what we are seeing.

When Chris Wray is being informed, who is informing him?

FBI Director Chris Wray Testifies to House Judiciary Committee on Trump Assassination Effort – 10:00am Livestream


Posted originally on the CTH on July 24, 2024 | Sundance 

Today, FBI Director Christopher Wray will face questions about the FBI role in the attempted assassination of President Trump and their investigation in the aftermath.

To date, despite the significance of the event, no official press conference with the heads of Secret Service, Dept of Homeland Security or the FBI have taken place.  There have been ZERO official press conference where USSS, DHS or FBI would answer questions.  In the absence of this protocol, which is intentionally missing, congress has stepped into the role of the media and trying to get answers.  It’s all sketchy; all of it.

Director Wray appears before the House Judiciary Committee today at 10:00am. Unfortunately, given the long history of the FBI claiming they cannot speak due to never-ending ongoing investigations, I do not anticipate much substantive progress. We are all very frustrated. Livestream Links Below.

Who Really Controls Your Access to Politicians? The SWAMP!


Posted originally on Jul 24, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

QUESTION: Marty, I watched Rep. Anna Paulina Luna interrogating the questionable Secret Service Director Cheatle. Paulina accused her of perjury. She says that Garland probably told her to stonewall. Pailina is your representative. Why has she not asked the Inspector General to investigate your case with all the evidence you presented in the Plot to Seize Russia? It seems with Hillary sniffing around the presidency, if she is really gun-ho, she should be championing what you have uncovered.

FD

ANSWER: Let me explain how Washington really works. The UNELECTED bureaucrats run the show – NOT your representative. They stand guard, and you will NEVER be beyond them if it is an issue that they do not want to raise. I doubt that Paulina is even aware of who I am, and I live in her district. I have been in contact with the bureaucrats who surround her, but that is as far as you ever get unless THEY approve of whatever issue is discussed – not the politician. So, without 10,000 letters stuffing her mailbox, the bureaucrats (SWAMP) guard the gates, and you will never get past them, for their real job is to defend the SWAMP!

Trump firs Bolton

I voted for Paulina. I think she is smart and has a fire in her belly, as they say. But the bureaucrats that form a ring around your access to any representative are there to DEFEND the SWAMP – not democracy as they claim. This is true for Democrats and Republicans. The UNELECTED bureaucrats are the ones who stuffed Trump’s cabinet with people like John Bolton. Our current political system will crash and burn from its internal corruption driven by protecting the SWAMP at all costs. Bolton did everything in his power to keep waging endless wars to overthrow Russia. You will never get to anyone in Washington unless the bureaucrat who guards them likes the issue. They are the ultimate filter in this corrupt political system.

Bidens Neocons
Stand Down Let it Happen

The Secret Service clearly stood down, and Paulina was correct that it was Attorney General Merrick Garland, who is already in contempt of Congress, who told Director Cheatle not to answer questions. Garland had gone after Trump and had a conflict of interest with Victoria Nuland and Blinken. It is NOT that they are Jewish, but that they all claim that Russians persecuted their families. They use the antisemitism attack on anyone who dares to question what they are doing. I have plenty of Jewish friends. What are the odds of three people claiming Jewish heritage in the Ukraine region and their families being persecuted by Russians?

There have been plenty of Jewish high level people in Washington. None of them claimed personal injuries by Russians. Remember Henry Kissinger, America’s first Jewish Secretary of State, who advised Nixon on opening China.  There was James Schlesinger, who became America’s first Jewish Secretary of Defense. Then there was Arthur Burns, who was America’s second Jewish Chairman of the Federal Reserve and presided over the collapse of Bretton Woods. Herbert Stein was America’s second Jewish Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors. There was also  Casper Weinberger, who was OMB Director and Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. Oscar Straus was the first Jew appointed as Secretary of Commerce by Theodore Roosevelt back in 1906. Herbert Hoover appointed Eugene Meyer as the first Jewish Chairman of the Federal Reserve in 1930. The mere fact that all three are Jewish is not the issue. They are raising the shield of antisemitism to prevent anyone from investigating their personal conflict of interest, and with Garland in contempt and instructing Director Cheatle to hide the truth, our country is on a serious rise because of these three individuals.

Swamp

This is what I mean: The unelected bureaucrats control the country—NOT the people, not even our politicians. This is the REAL SWAMP that is by no means the people we elect. It is far more sinister than that, and it runs much deeper – hence the Deep State. These people are always there and remain regardless of the administration. Why is Garland in contempt of Congress? He knows only the DOJ can criminally charge him, and he controls that. He has directed all the prosecutions against Trump. Now, Garland is apparently telling Director Cheatle to stonewall and commit perjury. Only he can prosecute her. This is a giant conspiracy, and they still will never tell the truth about the SWAMP’s assassination of JFK more than 60 years ago.

This smells like JFK all over again!

Secret Service Tells President Trump to Stop Holding Outdoor Rallies – NBC Reports President Trump Has Agreed


Posted originally on the CTH on July 23, 2024 | Sundance

According to multiple reports, the Secret Service told President Trump to stop holding outdoor MAGA rallies.

That part doesn’t come as a surprise, not because of any security risk, but because in the manufactured optics of the 2024 election Team Chicago cannot maintain the illusion of massive Kamala support. The contrast is against their interests.

Also, when you understand the game -especially the IC role within the game- the outlet pushing the story makes it even more obvious.

WASHINGTON POST – Secret Service officials encouraged Donald Trump’s campaign to stop scheduling large outdoor rallies and other outdoor events with big crowds after the assassination attempt on the former president in Butler, Pa., according to people familiar with the matter.

In the aftermath of the shooting, agents from the Secret Service communicated their concerns about large outdoor rallies going forward to Trump campaign advisers, three people familiar with the matter said.  The people familiar with the matter spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private discussions. (more)

NBC, the cable PR firm for the Harris campaign, is now reporting that President Trump has agreed and acquiesced.

[Source]

We will wait and see if this reporting is accurate.  However, don’t overlook the potential Alinsky factor in this type of Deep State shaping.  The IC sets the stage via USSS for a game of isolation, ridicule and marginalization.  Psychotics and Narcissists love playing these head games.

Now she’s gonna say, “he’s scared.”

Representative Eli Crane Notes a Report that Assassin Thomas Crook’s House was Scrubbed Prior to Investigation


Posted originally on the CTH on July 23, 2024 | Sundance

At today’s House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) questioned the Commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police, Christopher Paris, about a video he took of the Butler Township location of the assassination attempt against former President Trump.

Toward the end of his questioning, Representative Crane says he has received information that Thomas Crook’s house was scrubbed, cleaned and even silverware removed, prior to the investigative units arriving. Seems odd. WATCH:

U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle Resigns – Mayorkas Appoints Ronald Rowe as Replacement


Posted originally on the CTH onJuly 23, 2024 | Sundance

The right-wing of the DC UniPParty played their role very well.  With mission accomplished, U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has resigned her position, following the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump.

(Via NBC) –  In her resignation letter, obtained from a senior official who received it, Cheatle wrote that the “scrutiny over the last week has been intense and will continue to remain as our operational tempo increases.” She added she takes “full responsibility for the security lapse.”

“In light of recent events, it is with a heavy heart that I have made the difficult decision to step down as your Director,” wrote Cheatle, who had led the agency since September 2022.  It’s unclear when her last day will be. (more)

Dept of Homeland Security, Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, appoints Ronald Rowe as his replacement.  Rowe was one of Obama’s foot soldiers who helped create the domestic surveillance and targeting mechanisms for the weaponized Intelligence Community.  Go figure.

USSS – Effective July 23, 2024, Ronald L. Rowe, Jr. serves as the Acting Director of the Secret Service. As Acting Director, he is responsible for successfully executing the agency’s integrated mission of protection and investigations by leading a diverse workforce composed of more than 7,800 Special Agents, Uniformed Division Officers, Technical Law Enforcement Officers, and Administrative, Professional, and Technical personnel.

Prior to his appointment as Deputy Director, Mr. Rowe served as the agency’s Assistant Director for the Office of Intergovernmental and Legislative Affairs. He was responsible for leading the Secret Service’s engagement with Congress, the Department of Homeland Security and other government partners.

During his 24-year career with the U.S. Secret Service, Mr. Rowe has also coordinated major security operations, collaborating with other government and law-enforcement agencies. Mr. Rowe managed a National Special Security Event (NSSE) and oversaw the operations of more than 7,000 personnel across federal, state and local jurisdictions (2016).

Those products were later considered to be among the most authoritative assessment by the U.S. Intelligence Community regarding the challenges and national security threats facing the United States.

Mr. Rowe aided the National Security Council as a National Security and Law Enforcement Policy Advisor (2011), where he developed the President’s strategy to combat state-sponsored economic espionage and the theft of U.S. trade secrets and other intellectual properties. Other accolades in Mr. Rowe’s career at the Secret Service include being selected to the staff of the U.S. Senate’s Committee on the Judiciary (2008-2011) and being assigned to the Presidential Protective Detail (2004-2008).

US Banks Experiencing Rising Unrecoverable Debt


Posted Jul 23, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Bank Failures

I’ve long been sounding the alarm on the private debt crisis sweeping the Build Back Better nations. US government debt equaled 122.3% of the nation’s GDP in 2023, a cost that will be passed on to the taxpayers. As of Q1 2024, US household debt stood at $1.77 trillion; $12.44 trillion held in mortgage debt, $1.62 trillion in autos, $1.12 trillion in credit card debt, and $543 billion in other forms. The average household debt was around $147,500 at the end of 2024. Mortgage prices are, therefore, debts have been on the rise, similar to autos, and more consumers are placing basic necessities on credit. Major banks across the US are now reporting that Americans are failing to pay off this debt.

Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and Bank of America reported a combined loss of $4,139,000,000 that customers simply have no means of repaying. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York warned us in May that US household debt data was signaling a major problem brewing. US household debt hit $17.69 trillion in Q1 of 2024, marking a $640 billion increase in debt on an annual basis.

Debt Hole Cannor Climb Out

“The consumer is slowing. A lot of the spending and the growth areas we are seeing, in the underlying numbers, is being driven by the affluent customers,” Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser noted after her bank saw $2.28 billion in losses in Q2 2024. As mentioned in a separate post, the personal debt crisis is effecting everyone – including the “rich” who are also living on credit to maintain their lifestyles. The St. Louis Fed stated that the top 10% of ZIP codes with wealth concentration “experienced the greatest proportional increase” in credit card delinquencies, which climbed from 4.8% in Q2 of 2022 to 7.4% in Q2 of 2024.

JPMorgan Chase was unable to collected $2.2 billion in debts last quarter. Well Fargo could not collect $1.3 billion during the same period. Goldman Sachs stated their net charge-offs reached $359 million.

The banks are less likely to simply write off debt and expect a bail out. They will first come after all secured forms of debt and repossess autos and homes. The banks will take legal action against the debtor and resort to bank levies or wage garnishment. Banks can also simply sell off this debt to a collection’s agency. All of this will harm a consumer’s credit rating and they will have trouble securing any future loans or funding to escape the debt vortex.

Bankruptcies are on the rise as people realize they simply cannot pay off what they owe. It is worth noting that every report states the “rich” upper-middle class are falling into debt at a disproportional rate. These are the white collar workers with investments who likely have not had an issue repaying their debt before the economy changed.
