New York Appeals Court Intervenes at Last Minute to Lower Trump Appellate Bond and Remove AG Letitia James Restrictions on Trump Family Organization

The New York State appeals court waited until the last minute to intervene and rule substantial modifications to the lower court ruling. [SEE pdf Here]

The timing here is transparently political.  The court could have intervened earlier with this decision but appears to have preferred to allow the Lawfare narrative the maximum amount of time to permeate the anti-Trump news cycle.  However, faced with the reality of a full appellate review later this year collapsing and reversing the underlying case, the NY court had few options other than timing their intervention.

The appeals court lowered the bond amount to the maximum possible in real terms.  Meaning the demand for a $454 million bond was never sustainable, explainable, or legally comprehensible under all precedent.  In reality it was an impossible bond for any organization to obtain, and ultimately that issue was going to lead to massive legal consequences within the New York state legal system.  They might hate Trump, but without intervention New York would be collapsing their corporate business structure.

The lower court ruling was stayed, and the bond was lowered to an obtainable $175 million for the appeal.  The lower court ruling against Trump organization officers was also stayed, allowing the corporate leadership of the various Trump organization LLCs to remain as they are.  All of the substantive elements of Judge Engoron’s verdict were stayed, pending appeal.

Attorney General Letitia James was left only with a public relations narrative to sell, saying in part, “the $464 million judgment — plus interest — against Donald Trump and the other defendants still stands.” Duh, pending appeal – which is transparently obvious and the point therein.

Once again, Lawfare at its root is a narrative weapon used primarily to sway public opinion.  AG James statement in response to the appeals court intervention is essentially an affirmation of this reality.

Appearing in New York to defend against another Lawfare operation, President Trump spoke briefly to the media after the ruling was made public.

Biden Justice Department Launches National “Red Flag” Center to Track Sketchy Gun Owners

The DOJ has announced [SEE HERE] a national center to monitor and assist states with Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPO), otherwise known as “Red Flag” laws and procedures to monitor gun owners and confiscate firearms from sketchy owners.

According to the announcement, the intent is to help states remove dangerous firearms from people who are identified as “at risk” to perpetrate violence.

The launch of the National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center will provide our partners across the country with valuable resources to keep firearms out of the hands of individuals who pose a threat to themselves or others,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland.

“ERPO laws, which are modeled off domestic violence protection orders, create a civil process allowing law enforcement, family members (in most states), and medical professionals or other groups (in some states) to petition a court to temporarily prohibit someone at risk of harming themselves or others from purchasing and possessing firearms for the duration of the order.”

[…] Through the Center and its newly launched website, states, local governments, law enforcement, prosecutors, attorneys, judges, clinicians, victim service providers, and behavioral health and other social service providers will have direct access to critical information that will enhance their ability to reduce firearm homicides and suicides.

With Johns Hopkins and the Bloomberg School of Public Health in control of the database, and with the Dept of Justice – which includes the FBI in full support, problematic white males will likely be identified as the gravest threat requiring immediate supervision.  Be careful what opinions you post on social media.

Peter Navarro Delivers Remarks Before Reporting to Federal Prison for Contempt of a Congressional J6 Subpoena

People have asked me why I have remained relatively quiet about the legal issue and targeting of Peter Navarro by a weaponized DOJ and Congress.  I will explain in greater detail after the news from today.

Peter Navarro was a former adviser to President Trump and the lead of the coronavirus task force.  Yesterday, Chief Justice John Roberts issued a short opinion rejecting Navarro’s effort to have the Supreme Court intervene and stay his sentence.

Mr. Navarro was charged with contempt of Congress,  and was prosecuted by the DOJ and convicted in September of two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to provide testimony and documents to the J6 House Select Committee investigating the protest at the U.S. Capitol.  [Note, most of you know I received a similar subpoena from them, so I have a slightly different perspective than most.]

[…] Navarro spoke Tuesday morning in a strip mall in West Miami near the prison where he will serve four months. “I will walk proudly in there to do my time,” Navarro said. “I will gather strength from this: Donald John Trump is the nominee.”  Navarro called the case an “unprecedented assault on the constitutional separation of powers.” (media story WATCH:

.

I have a great deal of sympathy for Navarro.  I firmly believe he was unfairly targeted by the J6 committee and a weaponized DOJ who were looking for any opportunity to target people in Donald Trump’s orbit – including Navarro and Steve Bannon.  I regard Navarro as a really awesome ally, and functionally very smart and apt at the responsibilities he held in the White House.  Navarro is a good man.

Navarro was charged with failure to provide testimony and documents to Congress.  Navarro argued that executive privilege covered his refusal to provide testimony and documents.

The executive privilege that covers private conversation is held by President Trump and cannot be, should not be, waived by any advisor to the president.  However, there is a key element in the executive privilege aspect that is mostly overlooked by righteous pundits and conservative analysts as it pertains specifically to Navarro.

CBS Puts Kavanaugh Accuser Christine Blasey-Ford Back in Media Election Cycle

For some reason CBS Sunday Morning put Christine Blasey-Ford back into the media cycle with an interview about her life after accusing Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh of sexual assault. {Full Interview Here} The CBS motive appears to be restimulating the gender vote in an election year.

Blasey-Ford comes across as she did in the original 2018 fiasco; detached from the information and regretting she ever participated.  For those who know the entire deep weeds backstory of the Rehoboth “beach friends,” former and current DOJ people who are now constructing political Lawfare, it is well accepted Blasey-Ford was a tool for their use.  Heck, the accuser never even penned the letter she was conscripted to write to the Senate Judiciary Committee.  [Hook, WATCH]

The resurfacing of Blasey-Ford may be intended to stimulate the gender vote, but has the potential to backfire if people start to dig deep into this prior storyline.  Within the 2018 background, and with the application of hindsight, all of the Lawfare “beach friends” become visible.

Names like Mary McCord, David Laufman, Monica McLean and Michael Bromwich all swirl around the construct that used Blasey-Ford as the vessel for their hit against Donald Trump’s supreme court nominee.  The Senate investigation into the Blasey-Ford accusations was quickly dropped by the media after the investigative staff began to discover the network and connections.

Tucker Carlson Interviews Senator Rand Paul About The TikTok Ban Law – HR7521

Tucker Carlson gives a good preliminary outline showcasing the hypocritical argument being used against the social media platform TikTok and the auspices of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) expansion and influence in America.  Carlson walks through some of the current aspects of Chinese ownership and influence in the USA and then asks why is TikTok the focus of concern.

Rand Paul then joins Carlson to discuss the specific details of HR7521 and the interests of Washington DC as espoused.  Toward the end of their conversation, Rand Paul does a good job framing the issue around the global cleaving we have discussed at length here.  Senator Paul doesn’t specifically connect the dots clearly, but his larger point about where he sees this approach going is correct.  The global cleaving, which was triggered by Western sanctions against Russia, is a very real phenomena despite people denying it is taking place.  WATCH:

.

Breeauna Sagdal – “Once you realize that TikTok and its parent company Bytedance have been working WITH the Biden Administration and CFIUS for the last three years to become compliant, once you realize that On January 19, 2021, one day before President Biden assumed office, the US Department of Commerce (Commerce) published an interim final rule implementing its sweeping new authority to block, unwind, or condition “transactions” involving information and communications technology and services (ICTS), once you realize that TikTok’s servers are in Texas, and then understand that the company already has an American board, and has already turned over ALL records of shareholders to the satisfaction of our federal government – then you start to understand the REAL target isn’t TikTok – it’s YOU via “X,” Rumble, Gettr, Crypto, and so on down the line of non-compliant, divergent thought, content hubs and decentralized financial mechanisms.”

She Dindunuffin’ – Judge Scott McAfee Gives Option: DA Fani Willis or Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade Gotta Go – But McAfee and His Wife Donated to Willis, So…

Judge Scott McAffee and his wife previously donated to the campaign of Atlanta District Attorney Fani Willis, so the decision today doesn’t exactly come as a surprise.

Judge McAffee doesn’t want to be the white guy who removes the black district attorney. So, instead he outlined all of the malfeasance, impropriety, lack of judgement, corruption and poor conduct, then tells the DA either her office or the special prosecutor she appointed needs to be removed.  Heck, it’s almost as if McAffee is auditioning to be the next House Speaker.

SEE 23-page Ruling HERE 

But seriously, what level of judicial cowardice is needed to decline to remove the DA yet recommend a host of regulatory agencies to review and do the dirty deed, so he doesn’t have to?

Within hours special prosecutor Nathan Wade resigned, as Fani Willis swooned over their love connection.

ATLANTA – Nathan Wade, the Georgia special prosecutor hired by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to lead the election fraud case against Donald Trump, resigned just hours after a judge ruled that either he or Willis had to step down for the case to proceed.

Willis accepted Wade’s resignation in a letter released Friday afternoon and thanked the private lawyer, with whom she’d had a romantic relationship that threw the case into turmoil.

Judge Cannon Denies, for Now, the Trump Motion to Dismiss Classified Documents Case

Earlier today in Florida, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon carefully listened to lengthy oral arguments about the initial charges brought against President Donald Trump in the classified documents case.

While listening to a debate on terminology and odd interpretation of application to the statute of the Espionage Act, a case study in Lawfare as presented, Judge Cannon decided in a later ruling to defer the nuances of legislative interpretation until later in the trial pleadings.  Her 2-page Ruling is here.

While many voices say this initial motion to dismiss failed, there are several indications the ruling was more about targeting the issue of statutory definitions to latter phases in the pretrial legal process.  Essentially, allowing the DOJ to try and square the circles that are seemingly unsquarable.

Cannon is avoiding the trap of removal from the case by carefully and meticulously following a very routing process to allow the full sunlight of judicial consideration to apply at the moment when the interpretation has the greatest importance.  Despite ruling against dismissal, this is not a loss for the Trump legal team, as the issues behind the dismissal motion have not been rectified.  These issues will surface again at more critical moments.

If the Lawfare case is going to be dismissed in whole, as opposed to part by part, Julie Kelly was present in the court and also noticed that Judge Cannon appears to be positioning herself to dismiss the case on “selective prosecution” grounds. See this Great Thread HERE.

Special Counsel Robert Hur Testifies Elements of Biden and Trump Classified Documents Cases are Identical, But Biden Mental Acuity Made “Intent” Element Difficult

Regarding the handling of ‘classified documents’ Special Counsel Robert Hur testified today that President Trump and Vice-President Biden had identical outcomes.  However, whereas Donald Trump is cognitively normal, Joe Biden is suffering from a diminished mental state, frequent confusion and absent remembering.  Therefore, the elements needed for “intent” in the criminal statute did not apply to Biden.

Donald Trump is fine; Joe Biden has lost his marbles.  According to prosecutor Robert Hur, that explains why there are two tiers of justice amid an identical set of infractions.  As a consequence, the American people are expected to be okay with the reasoning for a DOJ double-standard.  WATCH:

.

The full hearing video is below, but the essential element is just repeated.   (1) Biden lied or could not remember on purpose; and (2) there are two tiers of justice, and the DOJ is prepared to defend their non-prosecution decision based entirely on cognitive “intent.”

An Important 4 Minutes Within Tucker Carlson Interview

For some reason Tucker Carlson interviewed Chris Cuomo.  The majority of the lengthy interview is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.  Chris Cuomo is either intellectually incapable of understanding the Russia dynamic and how the U.S Intelligence Community (USIC) conducts propaganda efforts against American citizens, or Chris Cuomo is a paid actor within the system he describes as “the game.”  From my perspective the former is more likely than the latter.

That said, please pay attention to the prompted segment about Russia, as outlined by Tucker Carlson, that begins at 34:18 and runs through 37:55.  If you stay with it until 46:00 it’s worth it; however, the important part is the key four minutes outlined above.  Carlson frames the “western” or U.S-led sanction regime against Russia very accurately, and the consequences he describes for the rest of the world is accurate.   WATCH FIRST:  

.

After watching this specific segment, I am left with a few takeaways.

First, Tucker is the only person -beside myself- who I have seen accurately outline the cause and consequence of the Russia sanction regime.  Why hasn’t Tucker expanded on this in granular detail?   The issue is much, much larger, than just simple sanctions.  There is a global agenda afoot, an intentional global cleaving, which was predicated by that specific sanction regime.

READ THIS from 2022 !!!

Second, he knows.  You can tell by the way Tucker frames the “I don’t know what’s really going on” aspect, that he really does know…. but he’s scared.  Tucker is scared of the consequences if he outlines in detail how the USIC and by extension the entire USA governmental system, is using Russia as a tool toward a larger corporate/globalist agenda.

It is annoying, albeit somewhat understandable in the larger picture, to see important voices who have reach – recoil and self-censor because they are fearful of the personal consequences.   Things are about to get very ugly. The Western dollar-based financial system is being weaponized against liberty. The American people are about to discover the scale and scope of consequence behind this intent, and the American people deserve to know the details of how and why this global cleaving is being pushed.

Senate Candidate Adam Schiff Hopes Intelligence Community Will “Dumb Down” and Filter Briefings for Donald Trump

By now, most intellectually honest American observers have accepted the United States intelligence apparatuses are  the most political and dangerous institutions of government. All recent history shows how the Intelligence Community (IC), identified by Chuck Schumer as the “six ways to Sunday” targeting group, operate as the extra-constitutional fourth branch of government.

The IC conducts surveillance of Americans, and the apparatuses of the FBI, DOJ and DHS operate the enforcement mechanism for the targeting identified by the intelligence apparatus.  The public-private partnership between the domestic communication networks, including social media, and the Intelligence Community are well known. DHS operates on behalf of the IC and the legislative and judicial branches defer to the IC.  This is a specific outcome of the Patriot Act authorizing the IC to conduct surveillance of all Americans.

In his interview with Meet the Press today, former House Intelligence Committee Chair, and current Senate candidate from California, Adam Schiff, publicly stated his desire that the IC continue their operations against U.S. citizens and control any/all information that is shared with Donald Trump in national security briefings.  WATCH (prompted):

.

The United States intelligence community is the most insidious threat to the Republic.  There is currently an information war taking place that encompasses pushback against the constructs of the IC and the control justifications known as “misinformation,” “disinformation,” and “malinformation.”  All of these newly created terms serve the function of controlling, eliminating and censoring activity by a corrupt network of government actors.

There is no such thing as mis-dis-or mal-information – there is only information.  Unfortunately, too few Americans have an understanding of how and why these terms were created by the surveillance apparatus in order to control information they deem against their interests.

Lastly, Adam Schiff is likely going to be the purple tie candidate supported by the professionally Republican and communist Democrats in their effort to generate an insurance policy against President Donald Trump.  It is easy to predict how Schiff would likely be installed in the Senate Select Intelligence Committee (SSCI) with a specific responsibility to stop, impede and block any intelligence nomination by President Trump.
