“In the wake of the Hunter Biden sweetheart plea deal, calling D.C. a swamp is an insult to swamps and frankly to all wetlands in general. We need to redefine the Clean Water Act to include all Biden adjacent areas.” — Margot Cleveland, Lawyer and legal analyst

I hope you agree this has been an instructive week for our republic, sinking to the bottom as fast as the Titan submersible on its way to consort with its grandmama, the RMS Titanic. Here’s what I learned, for instance, from Special Counsel John Durham’s visit to the House Judiciary Committee: When asked why he did not seek grand jury testimony from the primary culprits in the Russia Collusion hoax — Comey, McCabe, and Strzok — he told the room it would have been “unproductive” because they habitually claimed to “not recall” anything when testifying in Congress.

That’s an interesting legal theory. If it is so, we must suppose that any witness in a criminal inquiry may decline testifying on the grounds of claiming a defective memory. I’m not a lawyer, of course, but is it not the case that witnesses can be prompted to recall events when presented with evidence? E.g., “…here is your smartphone text of July 29 saying, ‘Don’t worry, we’ll stop him [Trump].’ What means did you have in mind to accomplish that, Mr. Strzok?”

In the four-year lead-up to his personal appearance in the House, many of us were fooled into thinking Mr. Durham was a serious dude. (I sure was.) Turns out the ferocious facial hair masked a rather timorous persona. Mr. Durham apparently did not dare test the boundaries of the narrow lane laid out in the scoping directives set forth by then Attorney General Barr. Mr. D. did find a line of criminal conduct between Lawfare artist Michal Sussmann, the Fusion GPS disinfo company, the DC law firm Perkins Coie, and candidate Hillary MyTurn in the creation and marketing of the Steele Dossier — yet he never called Hillary to do any ‘splainin about it (or anything else she did in 2016). Weird, a little bit.

While his omissions and missteps were spotlighted by the Republican members, Mr. Durham was mugged, kicked to the curb, stomped, and peed-on by the committee Democrats, who still labor to prop-up the dead-letter Russia Collusion fraud against all evidence and reason. As usual, the lead attack dog on that was Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA). He was rewarded the next day with a censure vote for seven years of shameless lying about said fraud, and stripped of his seat on the House Intel Committee, which he used, as then-chairman, to launch Trump Impeachment #1 in 2019 with fake “whistleblower” (and CIA goblin) Eric Ciaramella, whom Mr. Schiff naturally lied about never meeting prior to the proceeding.

We are treated in these twilight months of the “Joe Biden” regime to a cavalcade of revelations laying out the degeneracy of a federal justice system at war with the American people and its shady machinations in service to the Biden family global bribery operation. Late Thursday, the House Ways and Means Committee, chaired by Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO), released the affidavit of IRS supervisory special agent Gary Shapley from testimony given in closed session May 26. It disclosed a concerted program by the DOJ to impede, obstruct, delay, divert, and bury a massive tax evasion and fraud case against Hunter Biden, involving millions of dollars garnered from foreign persons and entities for no discernible services performed in return.

I am alleging, with evidence…” Mr. Shapley testified under oath, “…whatever the motivations, at every stage decisions were made that had the effect of benefiting the subject of the investigation. These decisions included slow-walking investigative steps, not allowing enforcement actions to be executed, limiting investigators’ line of questioning for witnesses, misleading investigators on charging authority, delaying any and all actions months before [the 2020] elections to ensure the investigation did not go overt well before policy memorandum mandated the pause.”

Hunter Biden was code-named “Sportsman” as the case opened in 2018. Red flags in bank transfer records of Hunter B and associates involving millions of dollars triggered the IRS inquiry. It wasn’t until a year later that Hunter’s laptop turned up, crammed with deal memos of bribes paid along with vivid documentary evidence of sex and drug crimes. The FBI verified its authenticity in November of 2019 by matching the device number against Hunter Biden’s Apple iCloud ID.

By the way, note that this was the exact same time that the House Intel Committee under chairman Adam Schiff commenced its impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump. AG William Barr and FBI Director Chris Wray therefore knew then that Hunter’s laptop existed and that it contained evidence of suspicious money transactions with Russia, China, and most particularly Ukraine — since Mr. Trump’s impeachment case was based on a telephone query he made to Ukrainian President, Zelensky, regarding the Biden family’s operations there. Neither Mr. Barr nor Mr. Wray alerted Mr. Trump’s lawyers about the evidence contained in the laptop — which would have provided exculpatory proof of a reasonable motive for Mr. Trump’s phone call. How was that not an obstruction of justice?

Mr. Shapley’s testimony is just one thread in the much larger tapestry of Biden family corruption now achieving clarity. Rep. James Comer’s Oversight Committee continues on its deep dive into the Biden family bank transfer records — with its evidence of money laundering through Biden shell company cut-outs — and the direct voice recording evidence of “Joe Biden” discussing his family’s financial arrangements with Petro Poroshenko, then-president of Ukraine from 2014 to 2019, plus other damning evidence connected to a “trusted” (and well-paid) FBI human confidential source in the much fought over FD-1023 document recently surrended to the Oversight Committee.

In short, the tide is going out even as the sun sets on “Joe Biden” as President. He and his handlers may believe they enjoy the protection of a compliant news media, but even that has its limits. Impeachment is coming, even if not as fast as Rep. Lauren Boebert wants it to, and if and when it does, there will be no ignoring the stark presentation of hard evidence — no matter how much MSNBC’s Joy-Ann Reid snorts and cackles.

Meanwhile, please understand that “Joe Biden” is only pretending to run for reelection and his party is pretending along with him just for the present desperate moment. Before long, their whole reeking, creaking edifice of lies and bad faith will come crashing down. Joe Biden will have to resign or the nation will be treated to the spectacle, this time, of a trial in the senate for real cause, bribery and treason, not just fake animus. And then, not even Gavin Newsom will be able to save the Democratic Party in its present alignment and foul habits. If it survives at all, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. will have to rebuild it from the ground up and expel the demons infesting it.

Yesterday, amidst all the fireworks from Britain as its government cracks down on insults and mean language, the New York Times ran a troubling domestic story headlined, “U.S. Investigating Americans Who Worked With Russian State Television.” By “investigating,” the Times meant “raided the homes of,” and I’ll give you one guess which three-letter agency pulled off the raids.

This month, F.B.I. agents raided the homes of Scott Ritter, a former United Nations weapons inspector and vocal critic of American foreign policy, especially on Ukraine, and Dimitri K. Simes, one of President Trump’s 2016 campaign advisors.

No charges were announced against either man.

Citing an anonymous DOJ official, the Times promised more raids are expected soon, and criminal charges “are also possible.” According to the source, the government is considering potential violations of Russian sanctions laws and FARA violations. FARA is a law requiring disclosure of any lobbying for foreign governments, which is only ever charged against conservatives and definitely not people whose first name rhymes with ‘Bunter.’

Proof of lobbying requires proving the defendant got paid. Presumably, evidence of payment is what the FBI is looking for to make its FARA claims stick. Mr. Simes said not only was his home raided, but all his bank accounts except where he gets his Social Security have been frozen. He also said the FBI confiscated all his Russian artwork.

Viewed in the best light, the FBI plans to argue Simes got artwork as payment for criticizing the U.S. government, or something.

For his part, Ritter said he’s only ever been paid for articles he wrote for Russia Today, receiving between $150 and $300 apiece, which he said was the going rate for all contributors. That’s probably why they invoked the specter of sanctions violations as a backup theory.

Just like during the pandemic, it’s more censorship. Two weeks ago, the Director of National Intelligence publicly accused some American citizens of purposely helping Russia influence the elections, by “posting content on social media, writing for various websites with overt and covert ties to the Russian government, and conducting other media efforts.”

But don’t worry! They are only after disinformers:

"The government investigation is not targeting ordinary Americans who watch Russian state media or post about it online, but rather is focused on individuals intentionally spreading disinformation from Moscow, some of the officials said."

The only specific disinformation that the Times identified as being allegedly spread by Russian-influenced Americans were posts “depicting the United States and its allies as a hegemonic power bent on world domination.”

That broad disinformation definition puts C&C right in the crosshairs too. But I will stop accusing the government when it stops being a hegemonic power bent on world domination. Please note that nobody’s paying me for posts, I have no Russian artwork, I don't have Putin's cell phone number, and I have never been to Moscow. No need to raid me.

Interviewed by Jesse Watters, the Nation’s best governor made the irrefutable point that the FBI and the DOJ have a built-in conflict of interest investigating the Trump assassination attempts, since those very same agencies are also currently trying to put Trump behind bars in several pending criminal cases.

So, it would obviously be better for Florida to lead the investigation.

DeSantis promised Florida will get to the bottom of how Routh snuck and managed to stay hidden in Trump International Golf Course’s decorative hedge for up to 12 hours, somehow avoiding Secret Service sweeps. The Governor told Jesse that he’ll soon have much more to say about Florida’s separate investigation, presumably at an upcoming press conference.
21   Patrick   2024 Sep 17, 9:38am  


The Matrix must be shorting out. It’s the only thing that makes sense. Proving both DeSantis’s point about the feds’ conflict of interest and … something really weird, the Daily Beast ran a super strange story yesterday headlined, “U.S. Attorney Handling Would-Be Trump Assassin’s Case Is a Haitian Immigrant.” A Haitian immigrant? Come on. I mean, what are the odds? Seriously.

Markenzy Lapointe, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, who now leads the federal government’s Routh investigation, is a Haitian immigrant raised in Florida. Lapointe —the country’s very first Haitian-American U.S. Attorney— is a Biden nominee sworn in on January 9th, 2023.

Lapointe presumably supervises (or at least assists in) the prosecution of President Trump in the Southern District of Florida. We don’t know how Mr. Lapointe feels about the recent dismissal of special prosecutor Jack Smith’s case, due to Smith’s unconstitutional appointment. The Southern District is currently appealing that dismissal.

Nor do we know what Mr. Lapointe thinks about Trump’s recent criticism of Springfield’s Haitian invasion, or all the pet-munching memes. Nor do we know whether Mr. Lapointe believes that drinking cat blood at midnight brings good juju. It’s probably unfair to assume. We’ll just have to wait and see what his little Haitian Trump doll looks like.

I would imagine they have provided him with several gauges of rope, too, to find one to taste.

Diddy's short term problem is going through steep drug withdrawal. That would be a reason to commit suicide as any other, but they will just fake any death or trial and usher him to Epstein Island Two where the Intels keep their old spies home.

“It’s really hard to govern today. . . . The First Amendment stands as a major block.” – John Kerry.

... Mr. Kerry’s hapless utterance tells you all you need to know about how the party of John F. Kennedy turned years later into a demon-driven cult seeking to smash everything that was once noble and upright about our country. If there is any such thing as disinformation — and the claim is dubious since, really, there is only truth and untruth — then the chief dispenser of it is our own depraved government. Every morsel it issues is some species of Orwellian counter-think.

Just yesterday, former Attorney General Eric Holder, speaking of Mr. Trump returning to office, told MSNBC’s Jen Psaki: “They will use the mechanisms of the DOJ to go after people who are their political foes. This is something that has never really happened in the history of this republic.” Mr. Holder may have been born at night, but probably not the night before last. Apparently, he has not noticed the uses to which current AG Merrick Garland has put “Joe Biden’s” DOJ, bending heaven, earth, and the law to put Mr. Trump behind bars and bankrupt him — not to mention the scores of Trump-adjacent lawyers prosecuted in cockamamie cases based on their efforts to pursue ballot fraud in the 2020 elections.

Hillary Clinton was similarly on-point last week with Margaret Hoover on PBS’s Firing Line, declaring: “The press needs a consistent narrative about the danger that Trump poses.” Of course, she asserts this incessantly — and the media parrots her — without ever specifying what that danger is. So, I will tell you: Hillary Clinton and hundreds of Democratic Party affiliated officials past and present fear that they will be subjected to legal process in crimes ranging all the way up to treason for their conduct the past decade, including the mass murder and injury of millions with their Covid policy, their deliberate abetting of millions crossing the border illegally, their use of several government agencies to abridge the First Amendment, their abuse of DOJ and FBI power in malicious prosecutions, their shell games funneling taxpayers’ money to hundreds of crony NGOs, and their use of Ukraine as a money laundry for the entire Beltway criminal cartel. Surely even more than that.

It was the last item on that list that prompted impeachment No. 1 of Mr. Trump, who came uncomfortably close to inquiring about it in that fateful 2019 phone call to President Zelensky. And, of course, it was exactly in that maw of corruption that the Biden family helped itself to millions of grifted dollars while Joe was out-of-office, and his bagman-crackhead son gamboled about the globe shaking loose more millions from exotic money-trees wherever he landed. All of which is to say that the “danger” Mr. Trump poses is to them personally and directly, certainly not to “our democracy,” their phony war-cry. So, now you know.

Many of these players have gone to ground the past year or more. You don’t hear much these days from the likes of Jim Comey, John Brennan, Jim Clapper, Andy McCabe, Tony Fauci, Peter Hotez, and many more who were so active shooting their mouths off on cable news after the blob managed to install “Joe Biden” as its “beard” in the Oval Office. Now, they all lie low in terror as the immense battery of lawfare against Mr. Trump failed spectacularly to stop him from running again, and the first two attempts on his life went awry. Meanwhile, Garland, Mayorkas, Christopher Wray, remain in the trenches, reduced to stonewalling every and all efforts to get straight answers out of them as to how badly they are running things. And out in front of all of them you have their supposed protector, Kamala Harris, the most feckless candidate imaginable. No wonder they’re so desperate.

In contrast to all this low-down treachery in-and-around the craven Party of Chaos and, its corrupt, depraved agents fearing the turn of genuine law against them, there was the Rescue the Republic event on the mall in Washington Sunday. The intelligence and honesty on view there was a startling reminder of the sentiments that birthed our country in the first place. RFK, Jr, Tulsi Gabbard, Jordan Peterson, Matt Taibbi, Senator Ron Johnson, Del Bigtree, Dr. Pierre Kory, Dr. Robert Malone, and many more figures aligning with the Trump campaign, delivered one stirring message after another informing us that the cardinal virtues of honor, fortitude, courage, and justice are still alive in the background of this sore-beset nation. I’ve never heard a more eloquent extempore appeal to our shared human virtues than the speech delivered by UK national Russell Brand, supposedly a comedian. It was Shakespearean.

And so, tomorrow we slot into October, the month of promised “surprises” and generally not the happy kind. Hillary alluded to that in her Firing Line palaver. Does her posse (Huma, Alex Soros) have something up their sleeves? Fake Special Prosecutor (illegally appointed and unconfirmed by the Senate) Jack Smith is coming into Judge Tanya Chutkan’s DC federal courtroom with a big fat brief detailing his superseding indictment cooked up to replace the previous case derailed by the Supreme Court decision earlier this year on presidential immunity. Teams of assassins are roaming the land hunting Mr. Trump. And those are just the known unknowns.

But there’s something else in the air little more than a month away from this fateful election day. It feels like just enough Americans have recovered their senses to act against war, censorship, wide open borders, and the despotic rule of a malevolent bureaucratic blob nobody voted for. Mail-in ballot fraud is already being discovered. Mr. Trump might survive this campaign ordeal after all despite his enemies’ best efforts. The nation could climb out of this slough of self-destruction and despair after all. We used to say proudly this is a free country. It can be that again.

In like IHLlary lock step. IHLlary in her recent bizarre interview didn't talk about fake policy and carrot dangling promises (never intended to be fulfilled), she was in 'psychopaths feeling sorry for themselves' mode that their lies and deceptions didn't work as long as there were alternative medias and social medias active.

The demons and Satanists are feeling sorry for themselves in public, assuming their remaining sold souls and deceived useful idiots and borderline psychos in the population will rally?

Florida sues Garland for blocking Trump assassination attempt investigation

Florida filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice to stop authorities from blocking the state's investigation into an attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
Attorney General Ashley Moody says the DOJ instructed Florida officials not to interview witnesses, limiting their role to cooperation with the federal investigation.
The lawsuit claims that delaying Florida's investigation could affect the outcome of any prosecution due to increasing difficulty in proving the case at trial.

Democrat turnout has been steady and growing ... but in 2020 (the securest election ever), Democratic votes jumped by a whopping 15 million (GOP votes jumped way above baseline as well).

How did this happen?

I'm not saying that any particular conspiracy theory is true here. I'm just saying that lots of Republicans who looked at these numbers and were concerned about the integrity of the 2020 election became the target of DOJ investigations.

Now, here we are in 2024, and the liberal "respect democracy" folks are beginning to ask questions.





Careful there, folks, or you might get arrested by the FBI for misinformation!
35   stereotomy   2024 Nov 8, 10:08am  

This is another example of the massive 2020 election fraud.

I worked with data providers - cell phone companies who sold anonymized data to transportation industries to compute speeds on freeways.

That same data was used in 2000 mules - and declared fake by the deep state.

The FBI and CIA used the same geofenced data to round up over a thousand people from Jan6 and put them in inhuman solitary confinement to this day.

Either both are real and correct or none of them are. The corrupt government can't have it both ways.

As someone who has actually handled the data - I can say that every second, your phones send out a GPS ping to let the network know where you are. If you have GPS location disabled, they can still triangulate your location from your 4G or (even better because it can locate you with much finer resolution) 5G signal. the only way not to be tracked is put your phone in a 100% steel container. Most shockingly, some of you will find out that even if you turn off your phone, the battery will be dead after a few days because the phone was trying to boost its signal to tell the NSA where it was.
