Pavel Durov and his brother Nikolai are genuinely brilliant tech programmers, mathematicians and entrepreneurs.  The Durov brothers founded the Telegram communication app in 2013.  Telegram now has 950 million active users who can send messages, photos and videos, take part in chats for groups of up to 200,000 people and broadcast to unlimited audiences.

Telegram is the preferred messaging and communication app for those concerned with privacy.  In my own travels, plans and purposeful interactions, I use Telegram frequently.  It is the best communication tool available, and the tech interface is brilliant. However, various government agencies hate Telegram because of the privacy it provides.

Pavel and Nikolai Durov are originally Russian; their app was created and tested deep inside the surveillance state.  The Russian government could not compromise it, and Pavel’s unwavering perspective on private communication has been thoroughly tested in subsequent years.  Telegram is a success because Pavel Durov has proven he is trustworthy.

Pavel Durov was just arrested by the French government for refusing to compromise on the user privacy of his app.

ReclaimTheNet – […] Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO of the encrypted messaging app Telegram, was arrested this Saturday evening, according to French media.

The incident occurred at Le Bourget Airport just as Durov, accompanied by a bodyguard and a woman, disembarked from his private jet. Durov, who holds dual Franco-Russian citizenship and is 39 years old, had just arrived from Azerbaijan.

The arrest was executed by members of the GTA (Gendarmerie of Air Transport), acting on a French search warrant. This warrant, issued by the OFMIN of the national directorate of the French judicial police, was based on allegations that Telegram’s operational policies — specifically its lack of censorship and lack of cooperation with law enforcement’s censorship demands, along with features such as disposable phone numbers and cryptocurrency transactions — indirectly support illicit activities.

CTH has expressed our concerns previously.  I always hope to be wrong about intelligence community connected politicians.   That said, I shall be a good team player and hope/pray to be wrong about RFK JR.

Robert F Kennedy Jr is introduced by President Trump at a MAGA rally in Arizona.  According to RFK Jr earlier in the day, President Trump promised a position in the Trump administration.  From the remarks tonight, I suspect that position offered is FDA Commissioner.

During his introduction President Trump heaped effusive praise on Robert F Kennedy as the crowd chanted, “Bobby, Bobby, Bobby!”  It was quite an exciting moment in an auditorium filled with over 20,000 supporters. WATCH:

In between two rallies in Las Vegas and Arizona, President Trump stopped briefly to answer questions from the press pool about the endorsement from Robert F Kennedy Jr. President Trump mentioned it was a “great honor” to receive the endorsement and support from a very popular and influential democrat.

Additionally, President Trump was asked a question about the Secret Service suspensions following the assassination attempt against him. President Trump noted the unfortunate lack of USSS support that seemed to come from the Biden office.

President Trump has never hidden from the media and as typical answered all their (abortion, RFK JR, 2024 election) questions. WATCH:

A very tanned Robert F Kennedy Jr seemed to endorse President Donald Trump earlier today.  However, RFK Jr’s VP candidate Nicole Shanahan sent a very different message.

There is no way to reconcile the narrative issues factually if RFK Jr is in charge of his campaign.  If he is not, then who is? 👀

Either Nicole Shanahan is totally off the range, speaking without any coordination with her campaign partner RFK Jr, or the duo is pulling some kind of shenanigans.  Shanahan says President Trump must apologize for “Operation Warp Speed” if he expects support from the Kennedy campaign.  Everything about this is sketchy.

“The hesitation we have right now in joining forces with Trump is that he has not apologized or publicly come out and said Operation Warp Speed was his fault. The vaccinations, the lockdowns letting Fauci and Francis Collins run the show, the firing of the other folks at the NIH and individuals at the CDC that were censored…

There was a lot that happened under Donald Trump’s watch that should not have happened and cannot happen again. And if we are going to put our bet with him – and we haven’t – we have not confirmed anything – but we need absolute assurance.” WATCH:

Do you know what the system of professional confusion, conflicts and strangely contradictory information comes from?  Seemingly irreconcilable contradictions are consistently a pattern created by intelligence community tradecraft.   Confusion is a frequently used tool by the professional intelligence services.

Before getting to the “Warp Speed” part, in RFK JR’s speech today, Kennedy claimed that President Donald Trump has asked him to JOIN his administration if he wins.

Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr has suspended his campaign for president and endorsed President Donald Trump.

RFK Jr filed Friday to officially have his name withdrawn from the Pennsylvania ballot “as a result of today’s endorsement of Donald Trump for the office of President of the United States,” according to a brief filed by Kennedy’s campaign attorney. The candidate also filed to withdraw from Arizona Thursday evening.

RFK Jr. made the announcement from Phoenix, Arizona. WATCH:

.

(Via Politico) – […] Kennedy said that he’s suspending his campaign but remaining on the ballot in several states. He also said he was offered a role in a potential second Trump administration.

[…] “If you live in a blue state, you can vote for me without harming or helping President Trump or Vice President Harris, and red states the same will apply,” Kennedy said at the press conference. “But in about 10 battleground states where my presence would be a spoiler, I’m going to remove my name.” (read more)

Earlier today, President Trump discussed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during his visit to the U.S.-Mexico border in Cochise County, Arizona. President Trump was asked if RFK Jr was going to endorse him, and how he would feel about it.  President Trump was also asked if he and RFK Jr were coordinating their appearance in Las Vegas. [VIDEO HERE]

Additionally, President Donald Trump told NewsNation’s Ali Bradley “we’re in danger” before being rushed away by Secret Service during an interview in Cochise County, Arizona. Right now, authorities in that county are searching for a man who allegedly threatened to kill the former president. Bradley reports daily from the southern border, where Trump held a news conference earlier Thursday. She spoke with Trump one-on-one about what he thinks of a possible RFK Jr. endorsement.

Maybe, just maybe, political reality is starting to permeate Chris Cuomo. Or it could be that Chris Cuomo is attempting to shape-shift by dropping pretenses. Whatever it is, this encapsulated segment by the former CNN host is a little surprising insofar as it is generally accurate.

According to those who know him best, Cuomo is not a very bright fellow. However, on the issue of money in politics as outlined in this segment, Cuomo is essentially dropping truth bombs. WATCH:

Dang… the left lost Cuomo 🤣😂😂

A good example of Big Money shaping political outcomes was discussed yesterday in the story about RFK Jr.

There’s a billionaire named Timothy Mellon who has essentially been funding RFK Jr to the tune of $25 million, while simultaneously funding the Make America Great Again SuperPAC to the tune of over $115 million.

Robert F Kennedy sent the following tweet message earlier today:

It looks increasingly like Robert F Kennedy notices the sand within his influence clock is running out fast.  At the same time RFK Jr is sending this message, his VP running mate Nicole Shanahan says the Kennedy campaign is considering dropping out of the race and endorsing Trump.

The video comes to my attention via the Twitter Account of Tony Seruga.  The video appears to capture Thomas Crooks walking through the vendor section of the Butler rally at approximately 4:26pm, about one and a half hours before he began shooting.

If the 4:26pm time is accurate, this is interesting because President Trump was initially scheduled to begin speaking at 5:00pm.

In this picture, a screengrab from a recent media question, you will notice Brian Fallon on screen right, using his cell phone to record the Q&A in case the principal, Harris, says something stupid and the campaign needs to clean it up.

The recording of media questions and answers is not that uncommon, and it is often done to protect the campaign in the event the media tries to distort the statement. However, in this example what is noteworthy is that Brian Fallon is doing it. The copying is not usually done by the campaign manager, it is usually a staff task assigned to someone else.

When contrast against the lack of accessibility and media pressers, Fallon being involved at this level indicates the extreme sensitivity and fear within the Harris campaign. Quite simply, the campaign is very concerned about what Harris might say and how that might create an issue for the construct that has been manufactured around her.
