First, my perspective for new readers.  I generally support private sector labor unions. I did not always support them.  I do not support public sector unions, nor the leadership of most labor unions in general who politicize their activity.  In our modern era, the baseline for organized labor to support the interests of their blue-collar workforce is valid.

Against the backdrop of the larger geopolitical dynamic, I would make the case that, similar to the solidarity movement of the mid 1980’s, organizing the general workforce is going to be the last-resort backstop measure to block ideological western government and corporate intentions.

Populism, nationalism and MAGA specifically, needs a unity alliance with organized private sector labor.

I also believe President Trump sees the looming importance of this relationship as made visible by his support for the Teamsters union during the RNC convention.

Consider what we witnessed and endured with the forced worker vaccination programs of 2021.  I do not like the idea of politicized labor but contemplate how organized labor could have been used to pushback against the diminishment of liberty. There is a potential for value; thus, I evaluate organized apolitical labor as a potential pragmatic ally.

That said, let us discuss the looming strike by The International Longshoreman’s Association, which represents 50,000 East and Gulf Coast dockworkers.

There are a lot of economic impacts that can be created by a dockworker strike; they range from inconvenient to severe depending on the industry and sector therein.  With the U.S. manufacturing base diminished, imported goods now represent the system to deliver essential products into our nation.

Elon Musk sent the entire world a significant and consequential alarm message on Sunday, September 29, 2024 at 11:11am. [Here is the LINK]

The complete message is below.

ELON MUSK – “Very few Americans realize that, if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election. Far from being a threat to democracy, he is the only way to save it!

Let me explain: if even 1 in 20 illegals become citizens per year, something that the Democrats are expediting as fast as humanly possible, that would be about 2 million new legal voters in 4 years.

The voting margin in the swing states is often less than 20 thousand votes. That means if the “Democratic” Party succeeds, there will be no more swing states!!

Moreover, the Biden/Harris administration has been flying “asylum seekers”, who are fast-tracked to citizenship, directly into swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and Arizona. It is a surefire way to win every election.

America then becomes a one-party state and Democracy is over. The only “elections” will be the Democratic Party primaries. This already happened in California many years ago, following the 1986 amnesty.

The only thing holding California back from extreme socialism and suffocating government policies is that people can leave California and still remain in America. Once the whole country is controlled by one party, there will be no escape.

Everywhere in America will be like the nightmare that is downtown San Francisco.”  ~Elon Musk

Comrades, I’m really glad to see former Secretary of State and Climate Czar, John Kerry, outline the transparent truth of their intention in such a matter-of-fact way.   Trust me, this is a really good thing. Perhaps no 2-minute encapsulation of current events more accurately outlines the worldview of the Biden-Harris administration, than this one.

Within the recent WEF discussion, Secretary Kerry outlines how freedom of speech is a ‘threat to the global democracy‘ because the governing officials have a difficult time controlling information.  Kerry goes on to posit how the next administration, presumably in his hope Kamala Harris, will forcefully structure all the tools of government to stop Americans from using the first amendment to freely speak about issues.

Governing is too challenging, according to Kerry, when the government cannot stop people from seeking and discovering information that is against their interests.  Effective governing required compliant adherence to a singular ideology.  Against the backdrop of COVID-19 and a host of similarly related government narratives, if people are free to find alternative information and think for themselves, they become increasingly more difficult to control.  Yes, this is said quite openly.  This is the mindset of those in power.  WATCH: 

.

On another positive note, millions of people now accurately understand why it is so important to refute the terms “mis-dis-mal information.”  When CTH initially warned about the labeling, most people did not understand; however, as the consequences begin to surface, I would argue almost a majority of people now understand.

2022: CTH encountered criticism for our position on information.  Perhaps it is important to step back and explain exactly why we should not be playing by rules, like those proposed by John Kerry, which are established to control us while engaged in the battle of ideas.  First, my position:

…”There is no such thing as “disinformation” or “misinformation”.  There is only information you accept and information you do not accept.  You were not born with a requirement to believe everything you are told; rather, you were born with a brain that allows you to process the information you receive and make independent decisions.”…

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement data shows that amid the illegal aliens Biden and Harris have let into the country, among those not in ICE detention, there are 425,431 convicted criminals and 222,141 with pending criminal charges.

Within those numbers, 62,231 convicted of assault, 14,301 convicted of burglary, 56,533 with drug convictions and 13,099 convicted of homicide. An additional 2,521 have kidnapping convictions and 15,811 have sexual assault convictions.  There are an additional 1,845 with pending homicide charges, 42,915 with assault charges, 3,266 with burglary charges and 4,250 with assault charges. {LINK}

That’s the context for the most transparently political game of policy reversal in modern history.  After years of advocating for open borders, pushing policies that have led to tens of millions of illegal aliens, and denouncing efforts to keep the border secure, Kamala Harris has the nerve to travel to the southern border and pretend she cares about border security.

US Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris visits the border town of Douglas, AZ Friday while apparently wearing a $62,000 Tiffany & Co. necklace. [VIDEO LINK] 

New York Post – […] It was her first visit to the beleaguered southern border since a 2021 visit to El Paso, Texas, four months after President Biden named her border czar.

She called out her rival, GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump for “fanning the flames of fear and division” over immigration, while Trump slammed Harris as “totally incompetent” after news broke of federal data released the same day showing more than 15,000 illegal immigrants currently living in the US are convicted or accused of homicide.

As remarkable as it sounds, the Kamala Harris hypocrisy on the border issue was even too much for CNN.

In an almost identical replay to the 2016 election, Attorney General Merrick Garland held a press conference today to note the indictment of three Iranian suspects for hacking the Trump campaign and attempting to influence the 2024 election outcome.  [37-page-indictment pdf Here]

In 2016 the identified influence agents were from the nation of Russia. In 2024 the identified influence agents, Masoud Jalili, Seyyed Ali Aghamiri and Yasar Balaghi, are from the nation of Iran. All other aspects seemingly remain identical.

According to CBS, “The three defendants — identified in the indictment as Masoud Jalili, Seyyed Ali Aghamiri and Yasar Balaghi — are all members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Prosecutors said they executed a “wide-ranging hacking campaign that used spearphishing and social engineering techniques to target and compromise the accounts of current and former U.S. government officials, members of the media, nongovernmental organizations, and individuals associated with U.S. political campaigns.” (more)

It’s likely Fani told Nathan she was going to say, “she dindunuffin’,” and he better disappear.   Apparently, the U.S. Marshals are looking for Nathan Wade after he has refused to accept a subpoena for testimony.

ATLANTA — The U.S. House Judiciary Committee has now tapped the U.S. Marshals to help obtain testimony from former Fulton County special prosecutor Nathan Wade.

They’ve taken the step after Wade failed to appear for an earlier scheduled hearing, according to a copy of a letter accompanying a subpoena obtained by 11Alive. Now, a committee spokesman said they’ve asked the Marshals service to serve Wade with a subpoena to testify.

[…] “Nathan Wade’s evasion of service is extremely unusual and will require the Committee to spend U.S. tax dollars to locate him.”

The subpoena, signed September 20, requests Wade’s testimony at a September 26 hearing in Washington, DC.  Nathan Wade did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

This stuff is so predictable.  A person would think the DOJ-NSD would make an effort not to just reuse their prior playbook.  Alas, specifically because the IC silos are run by bureaucratic idiots, they just end up rehashing anything that works.

On September 19th CTH said, “I’ll just casually sit back and wait to see what the DOJ NATIONAL SECURITY DIVISION (DOJ-NSD) come up with next. Presumably -if I am correct- we will see some patsy Iranian group named, labeled and blamed for the hacking, likely around the end of this month. However, factually the “hacking” per se’, is probably nothing more than the Biden group Intelligence Community (FBI/DOJ/DNI) exploiting their political surveillance control systems.” {LINK}

Cue Dramatic Music… 

TODAY IN DC:  A grand jury has indicted multiple Iranians on charges related to hacking Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.

The federal charges stem from an Iranian operation that allegedly stole internal Trump campaign communications this summer, according to three people familiar with the investigation who were granted anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it.

The names of the defendants and the specific criminal charges were not immediately available. A grand jury secretly approved the indictment on Thursday afternoon. The Justice Department is expected to announce the charges as soon as Friday.

Y’all know I sit very close to Suspicious Cat when it comes to the motives and intents of Robert F Kennedy Jr.  However, that said, I put aside those concerns to state unequivocally my support for this Make American Healthy Again (MAHA) message.

I never quite fully understood just how much our core food products had changed over the years until I started looking for familiar products in foreign countries and found them missing.  This piqued my curiosity and a sideline research endeavor that confirms the core message in the video just released by RFK Jr.

Example: Seed oils are banned in Russia. You literally cannot find any food processed with flaxseed oil, canola oil or any other industrial seed oil.  To understand the ramification, go to your pantry right now and look at the ingredient label.  Put everything you find containing Canola oil (also used as a preservative in semi-fresh foods) on your counter, then realize all of those food products are considered toxic and not readily available outside the USA.

Additionally, multiple food dyes are banned in Europe, and it is absolutely stunning to compare the ingredient labels of the exact same products in nations outside the USA.  Our domestic ingredient labels are exhaustive and filled with massive amounts of chemicals.  The same product processed outside the USA has nowhere near the same amount of chemical ingredients; they just don’t allow it.  The scale of this is a bizarre thing to realize.

HOLY SH*T 🚨 Robert F. Kennedy Jr just exposed Democrats for poisoning children’s food 👏 🔥

Again, I still question the political motives of RFK Jr for multiple reasons, none need repeating. However, the issue he is using to put his foot in the door of MAGA is totally legitimate. Our food supply is making us sick.

Put this guy in charge of reforming HHS and the FDA, while simultaneously using the regulatory power of those agencies to ban these toxic ingredients.  That’s the way to make MAHA support the objectives of MAGA.

The Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee (SHSGAC) wants everyone to know that the Secret Service really made a lot of mistakes in Butler, Pennsylvania, leading to the attempted assassination of President Trump.

Multiple systemic failures of U.S. Secret Service protocols took place.  Ultimately, mistakes were made.

[READ REPORT HERE]

“The Committee finds that USSS failures in planning, communications, security, and allocation of resources for the July 13, 2024 Butler rally were foreseeable, preventable, and directly related to the events resulting in the assassination attempt that day,” the committee reported.

“The Committee also finds that siloed communications and coordination problems between federal, state, and local law enforcement officials remain unaddressed and were a contributing factor to the failures at the July 13 Butler rally,” it added. ~ John Solomon

The Senate report comes on the heels of the Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, telling President Trump that U.S. intelligence has identified Iran as the most likely group attempting to organize death threats and activities against him.
