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.

Today, Wednesday September 11, 2024, is the 1,332nd day of Joe Biden in office. It is also the 12th anniversary of the attack at a U.S. embassy outpost in Benghazi, Libya, and the 10th anniversary of my 2-year research project.

The “Benghazi Brief” remains the most in-depth research report CTH has ever produced. The brief took two years of research to assemble and contains hundreds of very specific citations supporting it.  Ten years after the brief was originally written in 2014, nothing within the outline has ever been identified as inaccurate. The full brief has been updated below adding context depth from current events.

The Benghazi Brief

We know from the Bret Baier interview with Hillary Clinton that she was physically located at her 7th floor office in Washington DC on the night of the attack 9/11/12.

Unfortunately, we also know during the November 2012 Thanksgiving holiday a mysterious fire took place in that building. Well, actually directly above her exact office – cause undetermined.

A “fire” which preceded an unfortunate slip and fall for the Secretary, resulting in a concussion, which led to the discovery of a blood clot, that ultimately delayed her congressional testimony before a Senate Hearing into the events of the night in question.

We know the Libyan uprising began on February 10th of 2011, and we also know that sometime around the end of February 2011 President Obama signed a presidential directive authorizing the State Dept and CIA to begin a covert operation to arm the Libyan “rebels”.

Inasmuch as I want to value RFK Jr’s positions on the core issues of freedom vs totalitarianism, I find myself looking at his presentations with great suspicion.

Trust when lost, increases cynicism. Unfortunately, too few people know how to compartmentalize cynicism and simultaneously trust their instincts which support it. [BACKGROUND]

According to Fox News the acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe has asked protective operations Asst Director Michael Plati to resign his position.

Hopefully this is not just another example of creating the illusion of accountability.  However, prior precedent indicates nothing dissimilar.  Was Michael Plati the ultimate decisionmaker on all of the facets that led to such a botched protective detail?  Not likely.

(VIA Fox News) – A high-ranking leader within the Secret Service has been asked to retire following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, Fox News Digital has learned.

Michael Plati, office of protective operations assistant director, has been asked to retire and is ending his tenure with the service in the coming days.

Plati was asked to step down by senior leadership, including Acting Director Ronald Rowe.
