Two high level takeaways. First, please pay attention to the venue {GO DEEP}, as CTH has documented for 10+ years the AME church network is the epicenter of racially driven political influence. BLM are the activist foot soldiers; AME are the network organizers. BLM harvest the ballots; AME are the precinct workers who scan them as many times as needed. This is the “Atlanta way,” that duplicates in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Charlotte, Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore and Madison.
Second, Fani Willis must anticipate a major problem with her case and conduct if she is proactively going to the crew who will be tasked with circling the wagons on her defense. In this video soundbite Fani Willis plays the race card to her audience at Big Bethal AME church in Atlanta. WATCH:
Fani Willis’ full speech was 35 minutes long and filled with racially driven context.
The AME church network is the same political system used by Barack “if I had a son” Obama, Benjamin Crump, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin in Miami-Dade/Orlando. The same network in Ferguson Missouri (Mike Brown), the same network in Baltimore, Maryland (Freddy Gray), and on it goes.
The AME network is a system built on the guise of religion, but fraught with politics, racial division, the retention of pretenses and massive fraud.

State laws should be viewed with a watchful eye as we move toward the next election. I often speak highly of Florida state laws, but make no mistake – Florida’s state government is still a GOVERNMENT but the lesser of multiple evils. Nearly every state quietly passed new legislation on January 1, and Florida’s new rules regarding pretrial release and detention are concerning.
SB 1534 regarding pretrial and detention now state that only a judge may set bail.
Section 1. Subsections (4), (5), and (6) are added to
48 section 903.011, Florida Statutes, to read:
49 903.011 Pretrial release “Bail” and “bond” defined; general
50 terms; statewide uniform bond schedule.—
51 (4) Except as authorized in subsection (5), only a judge
52 may set, reduce, or otherwise alter a defendant’s bail. Upon
53 motion by a defendant, or on the court’s own motion, a court may
54 reconsider the monetary component of a defendant’s bail if he or
55 she is unable to post a monetary bond.
56 (5)(a) Beginning January 1, 2024, and annually thereafter,
57 the Supreme Court must adopt a uniform statewide bond schedule
58 for criminal offenses not described in subsection (6) for which
59 a person may be released on bail before and in lieu of his or
60 her first appearance hearing or bail determination. The Supreme
61 Court must make the revised uniform statewide bond schedule
62 available to each judicial circuit.
Judges will have the ability to raise bail, but they may not lower it. If convicted, not charged, with the following crimes, you will be detained until a judge can hear your case:
(6) A person may not be released before his or her first
93 appearance hearing or bail determination and a judge must
94 determine the appropriate bail, if any, based on an
95 individualized consideration of the criteria in s. 903.046(2),
96 if the person meets any of the following criteria:
97 (a) The person was, at the time of arrest for any felony,
98 on pretrial release, probation, or community control in this
99 state or any other state;
100 (b) The person was, at the time of arrest, designated as a
101 sexual offender or sexual predator in this state or any other
102 state;
103 (c) The person was arrested for violating a protective
104 injunction;
105 (d) The person was, at the time of arrest, on release from
106 supervision under s. 947.1405, s. 947.146, s. 947.149, or s.
107 944.4731;
108 (e) The person has, at any time before the current arrest,
109 been sentenced pursuant to s. 775.082(9) or s. 775.084 as a
110 prison releasee reoffender, habitual violent felony offender,
111 three-time violent felony offender, or violent career criminal;
112 (f) The person has been arrested three or more times in the
113 12 months immediately preceding his or her arrest for the
114 current offense; or
115 (g) The person’s current offense of arrest is for one or
116 more of the following crimes:
117 1. A capital felony, life felony, felony of the first
118 degree, or felony of the second degree;
119 2. A homicide under chapter 782; or any attempt,
120 solicitation, or conspiracy to commit a homicide;
121 3. Assault in furtherance of a riot or an aggravated riot;
122 felony battery; domestic battery by strangulation; domestic
123 violence, as defined in s. 741.28; stalking; mob intimidation;
124 assault or battery on a law enforcement officer; assault or
125 battery on juvenile probation officer, or other staff of a
126 detention center or commitment facility, or a staff member of a
127 commitment facility, or health services personnel; assault or
128 battery on a person 65 years of age or older; robbery; burglary;
129 carjacking; or resisting an officer with violence;
130 4. Kidnapping, false imprisonment, human trafficking, or
131 human smuggling;
132 5. Possession of a firearm or ammunition by a felon,
133 violent career criminal, or person subject to an injunction
134 against committing acts of domestic violence, stalking, or
135 cyberstalking;
136 6. Sexual battery; indecent, lewd, or lascivious touching;
137 exposure of sexual organs; incest; luring or enticing a child;
138 or child pornography;
139 7. Abuse, neglect, or exploitation of an elderly person or
140 disabled adult;
141 8. Child abuse or aggravated child abuse;
142 9. Arson; riot, aggravated riot, inciting a riot, or
143 aggravated inciting a riot; or a burglary or theft during a
144 riot;
145 10. Escape; tampering or retaliating against a witness,
146 victim, or informant; destruction of evidence; or tampering with
147 a jury;
148 11. Any offense committed for the purpose of benefitting,
149 promoting, or furthering the interests of a criminal gang;
150 12. Trafficking in a controlled substance, including
151 conspiracy to engage in trafficking in a controlled substance;
152 13. Racketeering; or
153 14. Failure to appear at required court proceedings while
154 on bail.
Now, you may read through this list, nodding your head in agreement that anyone who commits a violent crime is a danger to our society and should be locked away. However, the legal system was designed so everyone is viewed as INNOCENT until proven guilty. This method enables the law to detain people who have not been charged with a crime and may be innocent.
Read the list a bit closer, and you will notice there are non-violent offenses that could land you in jail without bail. Inciting or participating in a riot means you are guilty until proven innocent. There WILL be riots after the election regardless of who wins, and everyone who participates may be held. You are unwise if you believe this will only benefit your political party. All the new arrivals to Florida could flip it blue, and “riots” like the Black Lives Matter wave will be considered OK, as the blue states deemed them, while conservative rallies will lead to domestic terrorism charges.
Conspiracy is also on the list if you read it carefully. So, if they simply THINK you may have committed a drug-related crime, you will be locked away until a judge can hear your case. We know that three-letter agencies have planted drugs on innocent people in the past to get that conviction. They do not even need evidence, as this is opening Pandora’s box to permit the government to detain citizens before trial.
Look at what happened over COVID. The courts closed due to the pandemic, and people living in states that did not offer bail were stuck behind bars for months until a judge could take their case. In New Jersey, for example, people awaiting trial were not even permitted to go outside for months on end, and the time they spent awaiting trial was not reduced from their sentence if found guilty. The judge is not required to take your case immediately, and they could potentially delay it for as long as possible, as they did during COVID.

If you understand how the Dept of Homeland Security and FBI access and ultimately control the content of social media platforms, specifically the public opinion square of Twitter, then you can start to understand a much bigger aspect to this hidden court case.
KEY CONTEXT – During the Twitter File releases, existing DHS/FBI guidance controlled what the Twitter legal team was allowed to share with researchers. The Twitter File group gave Twitter search terms, and the Twitter team entered the search words/phrases and generated results. However, the Twitter legal team then had to filter that information against the instructions of DHS/FBI to determine what the research group was allowed to know; ultimately, what was allowed to become public information.
This reality stimulates the question: where/when did that prior guidance from DHS/FBI originate? The answer to that question is discovered in a little-known lawsuit by Twitter against the U.S. government. Please do not overlook the dates here.
Back in 2014, Twitter sued the government, “seeking to make public the number of times the FBI requested user information from the company in connection with national security investigations.” {link} Why? Because during the Obama administration, Twitter “was blocked from publishing the quantity of requests in its biannual online “Transparency Report,” claiming the government unlawfully restrained its speech.” {link}
In essence, DHS/FBI were weaponizing Twitter data and demanding information on specific users, specific inquiry about issues of greatest concern to the Obama administration. The Obama administration then told Twitter they were not permitted to talk about their demands due to “national security” issues. Twitter was barred from telling the public what was happening.
The Twitter lawsuit against the government wound its way through the lower courts and various levels of appeal. Each lower court ruled against the release of the information, forbidding Twitter from releasing the information. Why? Because the executive branch, in this example Obama DHS/FBI, have unilateral authority to determine what constitutes a “national security” issue. If DHS/FBI says the issue is a “national security” threat, the judicial branch is not prepared to challenge that definition.
Ultimately the lawsuit ended up at the doors of the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court refused to engage the question thereby supporting the rulings of the lower court. You can read about THAT PART HERE. However, there’s another layer to this story that needs to be accurately understood, because this deference by the judicial branch to the executive branch is part of how the system is weaponized.
These rulings are essentially correct, as following the process within a constitutional republic. However, here’s the rub. The weaponized Deep State are using this deference, as a tool in their Lawfare arsenal.
If the Deep State can unilaterally determine what constitutes “national security,” and if the judicial branch is not going to review or challenge those determinations, then the executive branch can target people, target institutions, and/or conduct domestic surveillance while hiding their conduct behind the shield of national security.
That’s exactly what the weaponized institutions (DHS, DOJ, FBI) have been doing.
That’s exactly the process that Barack Obama and Eric Holder created.
That’s exactly the motive for Eric Holder creating the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD).
Now, can you see the bigger issue, as presented by the Twitter case against government, that was just highlighted by the Supreme Court decision not to get involved.
The DOJ-NSD is the targeting mechanism for corrupt interests in our government to target us. The Dept of Homeland Security and the FBI unite in the process and provide the results to the DOJ-NSD for action against the targets. The collaboration then uses “national security” as the technique to stop those being abused by the targeting system from ever finding out, and the judicial branch cannot provide oversight.
Hopefully, this helps people put the scale of the ‘weaponization of government’ issue into a context.
That’s how they are carrying out Lawfare. That’s why there’s no process to impede them within the ordinary structures of constitutional protection.
Their ability to use “national security” as the justification for all of the corrupt targeting and surveillance is ultimately the source of power for the Fourth Branch of Government.

I have long been saying the Jack Smith special counsel team is the reassembly of the Robert Mueller team. Today, inside an article {SEE HERE} outlining other ancillary matters about the 2020 election challenges, Politico inadvertently confirmed my suspicions.
First, the non-pretending BIG PICTURE. The Clinton exoneration FBI Team became the Trump investigation FBI Team (Crossfire Hurricane) -which then became the Robert Mueller FBI Team (exact same people, plus some additions) – which then became the J6 Investigation FBI Team (exact same people, plus some additions) – which then became the Jack Smith FBI Team (same exact people). Not only is it one long continuum, but it’s also the EXACT SAME PEOPLE.
So, the Politico Article, discussing the FBI Agents and the DOJ officials who signed the subpoena that stemmed from Jack Smith, is not really surprising other than the confirmation of the same DC-based FBI agents and DC-based Lawfare operatives.
POLITICO – […] During a tense confrontation with FBI agents who were trying to serve a subpoena, Harrison Floyd — a 2020 Trump campaign aide — considered grabbing one of the agents’ guns, Floyd told local police officers who arrived at his door shortly afterward.
[…] The subpoena and its accompanying letter were signed by assistant special counsel Jonathan Haray, a veteran federal prosecutor who once worked closely with Washington, D.C.’s U.S. attorney, Matthew Graves, who now leads the massive Justice Department probe of the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
The presence on Smith’s staff of Haray, who once served as the deputy chief of the fraud and public corruption section at the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, has not been previously reported. Haray joined law firm DLA Piper in 2014 after a job at the Securities and Exchange Commission. He appears to have returned to government service about a year ago, around the time Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Smith to the special counsel post in November 2022.
[…] While the federal court filings don’t name the FBI agents, a police report released to POLITICO this week with the video under the Maryland Public Information Act identifies them as Walter Giardina and Christopher Meyer. Meyer’s name is also visible in the paperwork accompanying the subpoena seen in the bodycam video.
Giardina, who is assigned to the FBI’s Washington Field Office and like Floyd is a former Marine and an Iraq War veteran, has had roles in a number of high-profile, politically charged cases in recent years. He worked with special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, including on aspects of the investigation of potential foreign influence on Trump 2016 campaign adviser Michael Flynn, who briefly served as national security adviser in the first weeks of Trump’s administration.
Giardina also took part in the arrest of another former Trump aide, Peter Navarro, in a Reagan National Airport jetway in 2022 on charges of defying subpoenas from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot and Trump’s broader efforts to overturn the 2020 election. (read more)
This article comes on the heels of another confirmation that is even more critical in context.
I have been sounding the alarm about Mary McCord for a long time. A few days ago, Andrew Weissmann, who together with Norm Eisen created the Lawfare arguments that Jack Smith is using {GO DEEP}, confirmed that he is working with Mary McCord.
Veteran prosecutors Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord discuss and dissect the cases against former President Donald Trump, including the historic indictments from the Manhattan D.A., Special Counsel Jack Smith and Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis. {SOURCE}
Last month I said, “[…] Remember the stories of the J6 investigative staff all going to work for Jack Smith on the investigation of Donald Trump? Well, Mary McCord was a member of that team [citation]; all indications are that her background efforts continue today as a quiet member of the Special Counsel team that is still attacking Donald Trump. READ MORE HERE
This is one long continuum of the same Lawfare activity by the same core group of people.
This effort to prevent Trump from running for President is presenting a major CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS. We have the extremely LEFTIST Supreme Court of Colorado ruling unconstitutionally that Trump should be barred from being on the ballot. Then we have the Michigan Supreme Court ruling against Colorado. Now, the State of Maine, another LEFTIST government, is also seeking to follow Colorado.
These Leftist Governments are planning to really destroy the Constitution in any way they possibly can. Not a single person on January 6th was criminally charged with the Insurrection Statute. Yet, these LEFTIST states are trying to use the 14th Amendment to block Trump from running when it has NEVER been used even once in history against any Southerner.
These states are fulfilling the warnings of Nikita Khrushchev (1894-1971). They are so anti-Constitution and are allowing this country to be flooded with people from South America who have traditionally been Marxists, which is why they have destroyed their own economies and are flooding into the United States for free food, clothing, healthcare, and to be taken care of for life as long as they vote for the Marxists here determined to destroy the US economy.
Our model warns of a recession from May 7th, 2024, into 2028. As Chairman Powell of the Federal Reserve warned, this spending by Biden is “unsustainable,” and there may not even be an election by 2028. Democracy is all about letting the people decide. States are rigging the ballots so that no challenger in the Democratic primary may appear on any ballot, leaving no choice for Democrats but Biden. Then, they are trying to prevent Trump from running at all. This is not Democracy – it is totalitarianism.
I fear we have reached the end of the rule of law. If the Supreme Court strikes down these Marxist States, they will only claim it was a Republican Decision. The very idea of a “UNITED” formation of states can no longer be justified. The nation has become so deeply divided; as Abraham Lincoln once said, a house divided cannot stand. This is what we face as we move into 2032. The Supreme Court instigated the Civil War with the Dread Scott decision when they tried to defuse the potential for the Civil War.
Emerson was Scott’s owner, and he allowed Scott to get married and left Scott and his wife in Wisconsin when Emerson traveled to Louisiana. Emerson died in 1843, and Scott attempted to purchase his freedom from Emerson’s widow, but she refused. Dread Scott argued that since he became a permanent resident in the federal territory of Wisconsin, which prohibited slavery, he became a freeman. The district court applied the laws of Missouri to find Scott was still a slave, and the Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed. It then went to the Supreme Court, in a hotly watched issue, then much as removing Trump from the ballots today. In a highly contentious opinion written by Chief Justice Taney, he held that persons of African descent were not citizens of the United States. The Court reasoned that, at the time of the ratification of the U.S. Constitution, persons of African descent were brought to the U.S. as property and, whether later freed or not, could not become U.S. citizens. With that decision, the Civil War became the solution. Abraham Lincoln was never on the ballots in 10 states: South Carolina, North Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Texas, Georgia, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Virginia. He did not receive any votes from the states that would later form the Confederacy besides Virginia, where Republicans secured 1% of the votes. History is repeating once again. Today, the Marxist-following states that do not believe in Equal Protection of the Law seek to remove Trump from their ballots as well to prevent him from becoming president, precisely as was done to Abraham Lincoln.
Regardless of how the Supreme Court rules, as in Dread Scott, one side will never support the outcome. It is questionable if the United States will ever be able to stand as one nation once again.

At the same time the Colorado Republican Party files a petition to the United States Supreme Court to overturn a disqualification ruling issued by the Colorado Supreme Court {link}, a challenge that will result in President Trump appearing on the Colorado ballot {link}, the Democrat Maine Secretary of State has ruled by fiat that Trump should be disqualified.
Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows issued a public statement [SEE HERE] declaring that under her independent determination, President Trump should be disqualified.
(Via Politico) – Maine on Thursday became the second state to declare former President Donald Trump ineligible to serve as president because of his involvement in an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021.
Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows made the decision, booting Trump off the state’s ballot under an interpretation of the 14th Amendment that argues Trump cannot serve again because he supported or “engaged in insurrection or rebellion.”
[…] “I am mindful that no Secretary of State has ever deprived a presidential candidate of ballot access based on Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment,” Bellows wrote in her determination. “I am also mindful, however, that no presidential candidate has ever before engaged in insurrection.”
[…] In a statement, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung attacked Bellows as “a former ACLU attorney, a virulent leftist and a hyper-partisan Biden-supporting Democrat.” He called the push to have Trump disqualified “partisan election interference efforts,” and said the campaign “will quickly file a legal objection in state court to prevent this atrocious decision in Maine from taking effect.” (MORE)
It is a remarkable display of political hubris and hypocrisy to see the Lawfare leftists proclaim they are defending democracy by trying to destroy the foundational “right to vote” of the American electorate. Then again, the hubris and hypocrisy are a feature of communism, not a flaw therein.
The Maine decision by fiat will likely first travel through the judicial system in the state, as the determination of the Secretary of State holds no legal basis outside the authority granted to an individual office holder.
The need for control is a reaction to fear. If the totalitarian left thought they could win on substance and policy, they would not resort to these insufferable Lawfare tactics. Those who hold office by fiat need to be dispatched with extreme prejudice.

QUESTION: Why do you think these four judges ruled so unconstitutionally when we are all taught in grade school justice for all and innocent until proven guilty? I think anyone can see this decision was political, pronouncing Trump guilty without any charge or trial.
SF
ANSWER: Noah Bookbinder, the lawyer who brought this case, was connected to Biden, and these judges knew who he was. He selected Colorado just as Special Prosecutor Jack Smith selected Washington, DC, to get the indictment on Trump for a charge in Florida. He selected Colorado because it has a 100% Democratic-appointed supreme court, and the state is so left it could never walk a straight line in a sobriety test. This is called FORUM SHOPPING, which is unethical.
Bookbinder cleverly brought the case under the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), where he is the President and CEO. His connection to the Biden Administration is very alarming. He sits on the Biden administration’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Advisory Council (HSAC).
When I was indicted, I self-surrendered in Trenton, New Jersey, when the indictment was filed in New York City to protect the banks. The accounts were in Philadelphia at Republic New York Securities – not New York City. They also engaged in forum shopping in NYC because the judges there will ALWAYS protect the bankers. Mary Jo White came from New York City to Trenton to intimidate the Judge that I should not be granted bail. My lawyer pointed out to the court:
“There has been no default on any instrument to date and most tellingly which demonstrates the lack of understanding that there is no crime here and no victim, there hasn’t been a default by the entities nor has there been a complaint by an investor.”
Yet, Mary Jo White, who was the head of NY prosecutors, came to put on a show that this was a major case and I was to be denied bail. The court was stunned by the lack of anything by the bank’s claim that $1 billion was missing, and they had no idea where it was. That is simply impossible since the only way to get that kind of money out of a bank is by wire. Mary Jo White’s presents did not win the day, and in New Jersey, they failed to put on any case that warranted the denial of bail. When the court granted the bail, Mary Jo White came up to me within inches of my face, drooling and showing her teeth like some dog snarling at me. The entire purpose of her appearance was to intimidate the judge, which failed. This is what Bookbinder did to intimidate 4 judges who knew the connection to Biden, and he wanted Trump removed from the ballot because they staged this entire January 6th event so they could use the 14th Amendment to prevent Trump from being elected.
My Lawyer to the court on 9/13/99:
My clients did as I said, filed against the bank, and they were forced to return the money and plead guilty.

Throughout the timeline of human endeavors, do you know what the greatest story is? It’s the comeback story. From the divinity of the resurrection to the great stories of human achievement; the greatest stories -the ones that inspire legend- always surround the comeback.
The story of defeat and yet a powerful return in resilience, determination and resolute battle to overcome, is always the story that inspires. To learn and return, bolder, stronger and with more power than before, is the story that brings out emotion – because we can all connect to it. The comeback is always stronger than the setback. {Direct Rumble Link} WATCH:
