Steve Bannon rages against the regime at the Turning Point Action conference in West Palm Beach. {Direct Rumble Link}
President Trump appears with Maria Bartiromo for a lengthy discussion about the current state of politics. {Direct Rumble Link} Within the interview both domestic and foreign policy issues are discussed as well as Trump’s perspectives on the candidates contesting to win the GOP nomination.
It is an interesting interview on many fronts as we look at the republican primary and the candidates who are situated on behalf of institutional and financial interests that oppose President Trump. WATCH:

The war in Ukraine ends the moment Trump is elected. Russia keeps the eastern part where the U.S. was provoking unrest. The U.S. stops trying to use Ukraine as a proxy provocation against Russia. Ukraine stops doing stupid stuff, becomes independent of the USA, and takes care of its own people. And with Trump’s assurance to Russia – Ukraine will not join NATO. Everything stops. Done.
National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan represents the UniParty outlook from Washington DC.
From the position of influence and affluence, both Republican and Democrat policy makers are aligned in a unified outlook toward foreign policy and geopolitical affairs. Washington DC does not have two competing political parties on these issues; there is complete alignment and unidirectional focus. Never forget that.
Before getting to the Sullivan points, I’m going to shift the discussion slightly, back to the core and explain something that might help provide context for issues from China to Russia and beyond.
Everyone in Washington DC agrees with the agencies and institutions that create the national security state. The intelligence apparatus and the national security agencies frame the “interests of the U.S. government.” The politicians never push back against those agencies and the strategic policies they present as a solution. This is important to accept as you contemplate the continued push only in one interventionist direction, regardless of American public opinion.
The only countervailing force that has ever entered the modern system against this dynamic was President Donald Trump. That is why the “system”, consisting of both Republicans and Democrats, together with every institution the system controls, was/is/are unified to repel Trump.
This hive mindset is critical to understand, because the central conflict, the perspective that Trump represents a threat, originates from whether the combined institutional administrative state is correct in their assessments or not.
The “system,” an assembly of career ideologues who define themselves by their sense of self-importance, never believe they are wrong about anything; therefore, every means is justified in their mind. Any person who opposes their worldview is a threat. Every threat then becomes a target.
Well, I guess that’s that. The top men in charge of investigating the cocaine that was found in the west wing of the White House have said it was too difficult to figure out where it came from. The case is now closed.
CNN — The Secret Service has concluded its investigation into the small bag of cocaine found at the White House and has been unable to identify a suspect, according to a statement from the US Secret Service.
Secret Service officials combed through “security systems” and indexed “several hundreds individuals” who entered the West Wing in the days preceding the discovery and were unable to identify a suspect, according to the USSS statement. The Secret Service said FBI lab results from the packaging found “insufficient DNA” and could not retrieve any fingerprints. “Therefore, the Secret Service is not able to compare evidence against the known pool of individuals,” a statement from the USSS said.
Investigators were also unable to identify the particular moment or day when the baggie was left inside the West Wing cubby near the lower-level entrance where it was discovered.
“There was no surveillance video footage found that provided investigative leads or any other means for investigators to identify who may have deposited the found substance in this area,” the agency’s statement said. “Without physical evidence, the investigation will not be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered. At this time, the Secret Service’s investigation is closed due to a lack of physical evidence.” (more)
Some things, not all, but some, might seem a little oddly presented as Team CTH tests the new AI reconnaissance Spiders recently launched by the surveillance mothership.
In the background, the latest CTH Pancake recipe is being absorbed for the seismic shift it represents.
Potentially, I may be a pro-bono plaintiff in a process to gain insightful discovery. We have long said that if you follow either side of the illusion of choice you end up arriving at the same corporate destination. The spiders may have inadvertently paved the path for sunlight upon the Vanguard/Blackrock launch process. Stay tuned.
In related matters, the billionaires who fund both sides of the two private corporations known as the DNC and RNC are nervous about underwhelming results for one of their preferred options.
CNBC – […] Despite those big fundraising numbers and his entry into the race on a wave of hype, DeSantis is lagging well behind frontrunner Donald Trump in polls. The Murdoch family, led by conservative Fox Corp. and News Corp. mogul Rupert Murdoch, reportedly is souring on DeSantis. And as concerns for DeSantis mount across the board, several donors have told fundraisers about their worries, according to people familiar with the matter.
Some donors are worried the polls indicate DeSantis has to climb a potentially insurmountable hill to overtake Trump, these people said. They’re also worried that Trump has a huge lead over DeSantis when it comes to Republican congressional endorsements. DeSantis represented Florida in the House before he won the governor’s office.
During congressional testimony today, Representative Thomas Massie questions FBI Director Chris Wray about the mysterious circumstances surrounding the J6 pipe bombs and the inability of the FBI to identify a suspect.
Massie plays CCTV video of a mysterious person who *found* the pipe bomb located near the DC headquarters of the DNC and then informed stationed police units nearby. The inability of the FBI to identify the suspect despite the area being surrounded by CCTV systems has always been odd. Additionally, the cell phone ping-data from the area where the pipe bombs were discovered was also mysteriously corrupted and rendered of no value. WATCH:

Something is suspicious about this in the presentation, the timing and even the wording.
Ray Epps was a guy who attended the events in/around Washington DC on January 5th and January 6th, 2021. There is a lot of video footage of Ray Epps instructing people to go to the Capitol building. Despite a rather voluminous amount of evidence, Ray Epps was never charged with any conduct related to the events of January 6th.
According to a lawsuit Epps filed against Tucker Carlson and Fox News claiming the outlet targeted and defamed him, Ray Epps states, “in May 2023, the Department of Justice notified Epps that it would seek to charge him criminally for events on January 6, 2021—two-and-a-half years later.” [lawsuit citation – pg 41]
First, since when does the DOJ inform a suspect in advance they are seeking to charge him? Second, timing. It is now mid-July; where’s the indictment? Third, the wording is suspicious – the DOJ would “seek to charge him criminally.” Meaning, the Dept of Justice told Epps they were going to make efforts to arrest him?
Considering the lawsuit itself if dependent on a very specific narrative; and considering the lawsuit itself if dependent on a sympathy construct within that narrative; and considering the media narrative has been about wrongly targeted Epps by right-wing disinformation white nationalists, something is not passing the sniff test.
Suspicious Cat remains, well, suspicious.
Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) expresses a great deal of contempt for FBI Director Chris Wray during questioning today.

There has been a great deal of increased discussion surrounding the issues of automated Artificial Intelligence, colloquially called “AI.”
At the central core of the AI issues in communication; you inevitably enter a discussion on the issue of definitions and terms. Who is determining the definitions of what constitutes valid information? Who is determining what types of information are not valid, not approved for communication networks and how are their definitions being applied?
A solid and short-read thread on the assembly of people, groups and institutions surrounding the issue of AI in communication and media is presented HERE.
The topic of AI in general is a very large conversation. The topic of AI specific to communication is equally large and perhaps even more significant.
AI applied to communication must first establish a need for it to exist. Within that discussion, government interests and corporate interests take large seats at the table. Social media platforms, communication outlets, almost the entire technology sector and various special interest groups are also stakeholders in the discussion of how AI can be applied to the filtering of information – or what I would more appropriately call the CONTROL of information.
The predicate of the conversation jumps around a little, but the issue of defining reality is throughout the discussion. This is where my prior warnings about defining information must be emphasized. I am losing the current argument, but I retain optimism that eventually the control mechanisms will need to be destroyed by a generation that falls under its influence.
“There is no such thing as “disinformation” or “misinformation” or “malinformation”. There is only information. There is 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.”
In a previous ruling in the case of The State of Missouri v Joe Biden, Judge Terry Doughty agreed with the state position that evidence had clearly shown agencies of the U.S. government had infringed upon First Amendment free speech in targeting social media companies with demands for content removal. [Ruling and Injunction pdf]
The social media companies outlined in the state lawsuit include Facebook, Instagram, Meta Platforms Inc, Twitter, Google and YouTube. Evidence provided by the states showed clear and convincing evidence the government was unlawfully monitoring social media and telling the platforms to remove content adverse to their interests.
The judge outlined an emergency injunction barring government agencies such as the Department of Health and Human Services and the FBI from talking to social media companies for “the purpose of urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner the removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech” under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The ruling provided narrow exceptions.
Obviously, given the scale of government involved censorship of speech within social media, the injunction was a major loss to the Biden regime, who operate -in part- with the benefit of controlling public opinion and information. The judicial ruling disrupts the ability of the Biden administration to censor the online speech of Americans.
As a result of the injunction, the DOJ is now asking Judge Doughty to stay or pause his injunction while the government files a full appeal to the 5th circuit court of appeals.
(Reuters) – The Biden administration on Thursday asked a federal judge to put on hold his earlier order barring some government agencies and officials from meeting and communicating with social media companies about moderating their content.
