Lee Smith follows the pattern of FBI setups, and notes how the Iran assassination plot was established:

The day before Thomas Matthew Crooks sprayed gunfire at President Trump, the FBI arrested Asif Merchant, a Pakistani national who was admitted into the U.S. via parole for “significant public benefit.” The Dallas office of the FBI sponsored Merchant’s parole for the purposes of “security interests.” {READ ABOUT IT}

From that origination arrest, an action that supports and evidences the DNI warning of an Iranian assassination effort against President Trump, a purposeful narrative is established.

The IC then says Iran is threatening to kill President Trump, and the FBI arrest evidence is cited. With narrative established, and they’re off to the races.

President Trump’s travel and campaigning is subsequently scrutinized by a proactively cautious Secret Service, then comes another threat – perhaps the bigger one.  Only this time when Ryan Wesley Routh is moved into position (luckily intercepted), the same DNI and FBI who previously fingered Iran as the origin, mysteriously avoid pointing out Routh’s connections to another foreign nation, Ukraine.  Why is that?

If you think of IC tradecraft as a series of sequential activities, the Iran threat would have been good cover for Ukraine success.

After all, it’s not like President Trump carries a policy perspective toward Ukraine that is diametrically opposed by financial beneficiaries in Washington DC and the USA government. No, wait…

The overall prosecution attempt by Jack Smith was fundamentally deconstructed when the Supreme Court ruled mostly in favor of President Trump carrying ‘presidential immunity’ for officials acts while in office.  The ruling meant Smith had to go back to Judge Tanya Chutkan’s court and work through a process of outlining what is and is not an ‘official act’ according to the DOJ.

The result of that approach was made public yesterday, when Judge Chutkan revealed a new 165-page indictment [SEE HERE], essentially a list of evidence the DOJ claims as proof of “unofficial acts” allowing them to jump the hurdle of “official acts.”  However, the reality of Jack Smith’s filing is a story without much legal value. Instead, it is a 165-page Lawfare story created for media promotion.

Many followers have accepted that Jack Smith is not necessarily the person constructing the legal filings. There is a solid argument to be made that Andrew Weissmann, Norm Eisen and Mary McCord are the Lawfare allies tasked with writing the material.  When you read the filing, the manipulation of legalese to shape a narrative story is clear.

As former DOJ Asst AG Jeffrey Clark has noted, the filing attempts to obfuscate the legal requirements of “state of mind” by projecting what President Trump must have thought, as expressed by the opinion of unknown advisors.  Jack Smith says President Trump thought this, without actually providing any evidence of what President Trump thought. Additionally, this Lawfare approach toward including redacted quotes amounts to written testimony, which would never pass muster in any court.

The accused has a right to confront witnesses; however, in written text that questioning becomes impossible.  In essence, Jack Smith violates the principle and stated purpose of the sixth amendment.  This is one of the ways you can tell the filing itself is not intended to outline evidence, but rather to outline a story.  The claimed “evidence” is simply a story the Lawfare team want to deliver in October of an election year.

Independent journalist, Matt Taibbi delivered a strong speech at the recent ‘Rescue the Republic’ event. Taibbi outlines the issue of a lost fourth estate, where most common media have aligned with institutional systems to betray their original intent. The media now operates in a manner to control and shape information in order to shape public opinion to the benefit of their paymasters.

Known for his sharp critiques of power, all power, and willing to put himself at the forefront in opposition to any system that fails to represent traditional liberal values, Matt Taibbi discusses the importance of free speech, media integrity, and holding institutions accountable in today’s polarized political landscape. He speaks honestly, forthrightly and without pretense as he delivers remarks. [Salty language alert] WATCH:

[Transcript] Thank you.

This is every amateur speaker’s dream, to follow Russell Brand. Thanks a lot, God!

I was once taught you should always open an important speech by making reference to a shared experience.

So what do all of us at “Rescue the Republic” have in common? Nothing!

In a pre-Trump universe chimpanzees would be typing their fourth copy of Hamlet before RFK Jr., Robert Malone, Zuby, Tulsi Gabbard, Russell, Bret Weinstein and I would organically get together for any reason, much less an event like this.

True, everyone speaking has been censored. The issues were all different, but everyone disagreed with “authoritative voices” about something.

We are the non-pretending audience that doesn’t need to have the points of continual similarity pointed out.  However, there is something rather remarkable about those in Washington DC who never seem to be able to connect the same proverbial dots.

In the latest development of attempted President Trump assassin Ryan Routh, the Dept of Homeland Security and FBI are now admitting that Routh was on a watch list of Americans who traveled to fight with Ukraine.  The people on the watch list were supposed to be scrutinized and tracked when they reentered the USA.  However, Ryan Routh, “fell through the cracks,” thereby giving him space and opportunity to carry out his long-planned assassination attempt against President Trump.

The revelation itself is not a surprise.  There is a consistent pattern of names registered with the FBI as potential threats to the homeland who “fall through the cracks,” including the Tsarnaev brothers (Boston Marathon), Tashfeen Malik (San Bernardino terrorists) and Omar Mateen (Pulse nightclub).  It is always the crack fallers who seemingly end up carrying out their endeavors.

It’s likely the only reason DHS and the FBI are admitting to the almost fatal “mistake,” is because there is a document trail for Ryan Routh which will come to light as an outcome of DC’s “assassination review task force.”  After all, Ryan Routh met with “someone” in Washington DC, when he was there advocating for intervention.

Someone was likely to discover that Routh was on a list of people supposed to be monitored, so DHS/FBI release the information to cloud any non-pretending suspicion upon them.

WASHINGTON DC – […] The Department of Homeland Security in 2022 launched an interagency effort to scrutinize Americans returning from Ukraine’s war zone. The previously unreported effort aimed to identify Americans who might turn violent upon their return, according to five people familiar with the plans.

Reflection.   45 Days!

Are the next 45 days really about the political battles before us.  Or is it really a time of purposeful distinction. purposeful division.

Is it really about Donald Trump -vs- Kamala Harris, or is it really about choosing between good -vs- evil.

LUKE 12:51-56

(51) “Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. (52) From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. (53) They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

(54) He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does. (55) And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is. (56) Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time?”

We can all sense it.  Even if we turn away to engage in busyness as a distraction, the sense will not subside.

There is a great urgency needed in our communication with our family, friends, loved ones and overall community.  Do not negate your righteousness, nor diminish your instinctual value.  Do not fear.

Do not fear.

45 days!

I’m not exactly sure what Acting Secret Service Director Ronald L Rowe Jr is talking about here, as he delivers remarks during an update on the assassination attempt investigation.   However, he seems to imply the U.S. Intelligence Community is telling him to prepare for a “geopolitical event” that will require expansion of the Secret Service protection mission.

Listen to what Rowe describes at the 23:58 point, after he discusses the “paradigm shift.”

Martin County Sheriff William Snyder gave a press briefing earlier today and at a certain point was asked some specifics about the attempted shooter/assassin Ryan Routh and his connection to the area.

At 11:25 of the video below, Sheriff Snyder instinctively has two general baseline questions: (1) How did the assassin, from outside the area, know exactly where to be in order to have the opportunity to shoot President Trump; and (2) Did Ryan Rough act alone, or was he part of a supportive conspiracy to assassinate President Trump.  WATCH (prompted):

.

I think it is fair to say that we all view the use of the FBI in this investigation with great trepidation.

Given the long and extensive history of the modern, highly, intensely political, FBI as a weaponized agency of the federal government, there is zero faith or trust in their institutional ability to conduct a genuine investigation.   This is not a comfortable thing to accept or admit, but unfortunately there is no other intellectually honest reference point from which to generate optimism.

Sheriff Snyder repeatedly defers all elements of the ongoing investigation to the FBI.  However, on the positive side all of the information that is inside the control of the local law enforcement is being shared with the public; it’s the feds that are the problem.

CTH has sources within the system on a local and state level. Prayers for President Trump, the entire Trump family and organization, along with our entire nation, continue.

Robert F Kennedy Jr’s former Vice-Presidential running mate, Nicole Shanahan, continues to finance and produce high quality video content intended to unite the Donald Trump and RFK Jr movements while persuading moderate democrats to join the assembly. [Source Link]

In this video Mrs Shanahan draws attention to the false and malicious narrative done by the hardwired leftists, communists and corporate financial groups who have Alinsky’d the MAGA movement for almost a decade.  It is a very well-done production intended to stimulate a deeper review by those who perhaps only pay slight attention to national politics.  WATCH:

The message is good.  The intent is good. The part of the Kennedy/Shanahan process that continues to befuddle me is not actually them.  Instead, it’s the DNC/MSM and left-wing corporate group’s silence about parts of this unity message they would normally jump on.

According to Robert F Kennedy Jr, if he had accepted the position of Vice President to Donald Trump, the White House would have to place him under house arrest after approximately 3 days.  Apparently, if RFK Jr is to be believed, he intends to defy any constraints or limits put on him by President Trump should he win the 2024 election.

I will politely note for the record that I anticipate RFK Jr being a considerable problem for President Trump’s administration.  I hope I am wrong, but the vibe from this guy only goes in one direction.  Watch and see for yourself:

.

There is another segment shared below that highlights the perspective of Robert F Kennedy Jr toward President Donald Trump.  Watch as RFK Jr gleefully notes, for some reason that is seemingly important to him, how he successfully sued Donald Trump before.

In addition to discussing the details of President Trump offering him the VP role, what is the value to the Trump 2024 campaign from RFK Jr continuously talking about him filing lawsuits against Donald Trump?   How is that helpful?

Economic security is the foundation of national security.  When government takes action that destabilizes our economy, every element of national security is put at risk.  We are experiencing that problem right now as we suffer through Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ intentionally flawed energy policy that is diminishing the U.S. economy.

“It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones.”

~ Niccolo Machiavelli

Never has that Machiavelli quote been more apropos than when considering the MAGA movement and the rise of Donald Trump.

Thankfully, we are now in an era when the largest coalition of American voters have awakened to the reality that, to quote the former president: “Economic Security is National Security.”

As we live through the economic mess of a Biden administration hell bent on eroding the middle class, there are numerous pundits contemplating 2024 and the shift President Trump represents; consider this group the lukewarm defenders Machiavelli noted.

At the same time professional Republicans, Democrats, the DC coalition (writ large) and corporate media are apoplectic about increasing groups of voters now supporting President Donald Trump.  This group consists of those affluent Wall Street agents and politicians set on retaining the profits derived from decades of institutional objectives.

Institutional Democrats hate Trump, and institutional Republicans are lukewarm, at best, in defending Trump.  Both wings of the DC UniParty fear Trump.  Extreme efforts at control are always a reaction to fear.  I make my case not on supposition, but on empirical reference points that most should understand.

Everything is about the economics of the thing.
