I’m just going to throw out a bunch of factual datapoints that seemingly mean something, but the larger ‘intent’ picture is still opaque.  Many readers may not be familiar with the connective tissue between the names, so I’ll just cut to the chase.

According to media reports, Pershing Square Capital Management founder Bill Ackman is preparing to back Donald Trump in the 2024 election {LINK}.  Bill Ackman is the Wall Street money guy backstopping Elon Musk, and Ackman created the financial vehicle to take the X-Platform back to the public market (unused mechanism).

To wit, Elon Musk is reportedly in frequent communication with President Trump {LINK} potentially now as an advisor to the campaign:

“As recently as two years ago, Trump and Musk were publicly trading insults. But in recent months, the two men are developing a friendly rapport and talk on the phone several times a month as the election nears, the people familiar with their talks said. The pair have held discussions on immigration, technology and science, including the U.S. Space Force. Their views and interests have grown more aligned, the people said, with Musk calling Trump directly on his cellphone.” (more)

Elon Musk (Tesla) does not want tariffs against Chinese electric vehicles.  Axios is reporting that Musk plans to host an X-Platform townhall event with President Trump {LINK}.  As the billionaire classes choose sides, Mark Cuban is aligned with the multinationals and Biden; meanwhile, Musk and Ackman now appear to be aligning with Trump.

JD Vance and Vivek Ramaswamy were college roommates.  Both Vance and Ramaswamy were financially backed by Peter Thiel.  Thiel and Musk (now with Ackman, Vance and Ramaswamy) seemingly run in the same tribal circles.

Curiously, this grouping who seemingly support cryptocurrency, along with a few others who do not openly support the Hamas faction of U.S financial interests, are moving deeper into the America-First Trump orbit.  The question of their motive remains.  Do they support the MAGA agenda, or are they worming their way into position in order to undermine it?

You decide.

Consider this indictment against the backdrop of a totally politicized Department of Defense.

(VIA DOJ – May 31, 2024) – […] As alleged in an indictment unsealed today, from 2020 to 2022, Robert Burke, 62, of Coconut Creek, Florida, was a four-star Admiral who oversaw Naval operations in Europe, Russia, and most of Africa, and commanded thousands of civilian and military personnel.

Yongchul “Charlie” Kim and Meghan Messenger, both of New York, are the co-CEOs of a company (Company A) that provided a workforce training pilot program to a small component of the Navy from August 2018 through July 2019. The Navy terminated a contract with Company A in late 2019 and directed Company A not to contact Burke.

The elevator version:

The Intelligence Community created the disease, then used the politicians to sell the cure. 

In the era shortly after 9/11, the DC national security apparatus was constructed to preserve continuity of government and simultaneously view all Americans as potential threats. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) were created specifically for this purpose.

When people talk about normalizing things that were previously extreme and radical, they sometimes use the metaphor of the Overton Window.  Within this conversation between Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump Jr, the Overton Window doesn’t shift, it jumps.  The potential killing of President Trump is mentioned casually against the backdrop of a weaponized justice system.

More frequently than any other political pundit or political voice, Tucker Carlson mentions the likely killing of President Donald John Trump. I’m not sure why he does it, but I have heard the assassination theme from him in more than a dozen public statements.

Don Trump Jr notes the most recent occurrence of Tucker talking about “them” killing Trump after the NYC guilty verdict.  Don Jr agrees with the possibility, then talks about his new perspective on the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The very disconcerting issue that circles the killing of Donald Trump is raised by Tucker Carlson at four separate points within this interview. WATCH:

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

~ Mike Vanderboegh

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

According to Politico and the New York Times the Biden administration has given Ukraine approval to launch U.S provided missiles into Russia.  {LINK} This is a major escalation of NATO engagement, likely intended to provoke Russia to strike alternate targets.  The people inside Ukraine responsible for using these U.S. provided weapons are likely not Ukranian.

CTH is in an unusually serendipitous position to analyze how Russia is responding to this shift in USA position.  The morale inside Russia is very high amid the military age population.  The recruitment efforts of the Russian government appear to be numerous and very effective.

There are thousands of newly enlisted military personnel very visible in/around training facilities.  There is no apparent tension discernable. Overall Russia appears to take great pride in their military, and it is considered a matter of honor and pride to support them.

WASHINGTON – The Biden administration has quietly given Ukraine permission to strike inside Russia — solely near the area of Kharkiv — using U.S.-provided weapons, two U.S. officials and two other people familiar with the move said Thursday, a major reversal that will help Ukraine to better defend its second-largest city.

“The president recently directed his team to ensure that Ukraine is able to use U.S. weapons for counter-fire purposes in Kharkiv so Ukraine can hit back at Russian forces hitting them or preparing to hit them,” a U.S. official said, adding that the policy of not allowing long-range strikes inside Russia “has not changed.”

Most Republican voters are not familiar with the Machiavellian ways of the multinational corporations who control most of the professionally Republican politicians as puppets.  A large percentage of political observers think the “corporate Republican” meme is overused, in part because they need to retain their own sense of stability.

The illusion of the two-party system is comfortable to the psyche, and the beneficiaries of the cognitive dissonance work earnestly to keep up pretenses.  However, there is a great awakening happening as people realize the UniParty is very real.

Democrats want power, Republicans want money.  Democrats use money to get power, Republicans use power to get money.  The ideology of the Democrats drives their donor activity, while the donor activity of the Republicans drives their ideology.  This is the structural difference between both wings of the UniParty apparatus.

In the aftermath of the Trump verdict, the corporations who control the professionally Republican approach have two vested candidates they would position as beneficiaries – Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.

You might remember that during the initial shock of the Mar-a-Lago FBI raid, Ron DeSantis sent one tweet from his personal account and then went silent for 5 days, hiding from all media.  At the conclusion of the 5-days, DeSantis emerged and began his August national branding tour, which then morphed into his 2022 “book tour.”  Everything was carefully scripted, planned, scheduled and controlled.

The professionally Republican groups that support Ron DeSantis, in addition to his online influencer group (formerly Ted Cruz Crew), do not like it when you point out the visible fingerprints of the Sea Island strategists around DeSantis; but I don’t care.  CTH points out their activity specifically because it is very predictable and part of the long history inside the modern Republican Party.

Following the Trump verdict in New York, team DeSantis position their narrative; only this time, they use the official account of the Florida governor, because he suspended his 2024 campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. [The control group have him in waiting mode.]

U.S. Senator Joe Manchin from West Virginia is the modern version of Bill Clinton.  A lying liar who lies and works hard to retain the impression of being ‘aw shucks’ reasonable and affable; but it’s all an illusion targeting a certain West Virginia demographic.

In reality, beyond the mask Joe Manchin belongs to the party of self-importance and DeceptCon politics.  He always ends up supporting the leftist policy he pretends to try and mitigate. {GO DEEP}

With the national spotlight on judicial corruption, weaponized government and the overwhelming majority of the American people outraged at the events in New York City courts, Senator Manchin sees the opportunity to exploit the sentiment for his own interests.  Here’s the audio/visual:

[SOURCE – Via Twitter]

WASHINGTON DC – West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, a conservative Democrat, officially filed as an independent Friday.

“My commitment to do everything I can to bring out country together has led me to register as an independent with no party affiliation,” Manchin posted on the social platform X.
