As expected, the Senate dropped all the woke restrictions from the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and added $300 million for Ukraine along with a four-month extension of the FISA 702 authority until April 19, 2024.

The vote roll for this bill is here.  With the final vote at 87-13.

Only six republicans voted against the $886 billion dollar bill.

In a three-page opinion and order [pdf Available Here], DC District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan outlines that she may be forced to pause the case against President Trump until the appellate court, and then likely the Supreme Court, make a decision on presidential immunity.

[Source pdf]

Within this opinion/order, we find the reason for Special Prosecutor Jack Smith to jump over the appellate court and ask the Supreme Court to expedite a review and determination on the issue.

The jurisdictional issue on the specifics of the pre-trial appeal is likely to slow down the trial dates being pushed by Special Prosecutor Smith.  Overall, this has been a very bad day for the Lawfare team, as they run into judicial processes that cannot be facilitated by politically motivated higher courts.

Two of the charges against Donald Trump are centered around 18 U.S. Code § 1512(c)(2), part of the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As noted by Julie Kelly, “The statute was meant to close a loophole in other obstruction laws related to the destruction of evidence but left open to interpretation the terms “corruptly” and “official proceeding.”

In addition to Donald Trump, this federal statute meant to target organized crime and financial crimes has been used against 300 J6 defendants. Three J6 defendants have appealed the use of this provision to charge them with obstruction. A DC trial judge originally agreed with the argument and dismissed the framework of the Lawfare effort.
However, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit reversed the dismissal order.

J6 Defendants Edward Lang, Garrett Miller and Joseph Fischer appealed to the Supreme Court, which has now agreed to take up the case, U.S. v Fischer. In one way, this can be looked at as the Supreme Court reviewing the charges against Donald Trump, without ruling on the charges against Donald Trump.

Someone asked: …”[Alex] Jones’ theory of the “massive cyber-attack” that requires a lockdown of the internet, followed by a limited access/controlled access internet where only approved (“safe”) sites can be accessed is both alarmingly believable and difficult to prepare for. It also nearly perfectly mirrors the COVD playbook in a virtual way – virtual lock downs, virtual “approved activities/sites”, controlled information and total censorship.” (link)

My requested response… Where the heck do you think Jones’ came up with that theory?  Go back to AUGUST 2023, it’s so transparently predictable I even created a drop-down category “Internet” for the citations and articles about it.  Jones is describing what I called, “The shadow banning of the internet“.

I believe the Beta Test was today:

The process isn’t complicated if you have followed the development of the government systems.  DHS is not going to shut down the North American Internet, just change the pathways using their public-private partnerships with social media and Big Tech.  Justification big picture: national security.  Details of control found in the motives of creating labels like, disinformation, malinformation, or misinformation.

[September 2023] – You might ask – why is the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) in the business of conducting widescale surveillance, monitoring and tracking of American citizens?

Unfortunately, if you are asking that question, then you likely don’t know the First, Fourth and Fifth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution were usurped by the 2001 Patriot Act.

You might be having a bad week if you are touting yourself as the next best hope for Casey’s tiara and you find yourself losing by 41 points to the guy you are being paid to beat.  Making matters worse, with the reality of the irrelevant collapse in full sunlight, the govt now steps in to prosecute DeSantis for fraud (campaign violations).  Yup, it’s how the process rolls.

It’s like a nightmare Rob, the downward spiral just keeps getting worse and worse.  DeSantis should have thought about this before sitting in the seat, because once the donor gate locks shut, you can’t get off until the ride’s over.  Sucks to be Rob.

[POLL DATA]

FLORIDA – Trump (59%) holds a commanding lead over all other Republicans vying for the presidential nomination in Florida. DeSantis (19%), Haley (8%), Christie (5%), and Ramaswamy (1%) come nowhere close. Fewer than 1 in 20 respondents indicated that they are still undecided about who they’ll be voting for in the primary this upcoming March. (link)

Yes, it’s time….

After years of assembling datapoints around the potential for the Supreme Court to be compromised, it was the discovery of Mary McCord’s husband Sheldon Snook deep in the office of Chief Justice John Roberts that finally sealed the deal for me personally.  Yes, the Supreme Court is compromised.

Quick Context. Mary McCord was the architect of all Trump targeting efforts. The FISA on Carter Page, the weaponization of the DOJ-NSD, the installation of Michael Atkinson as Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG), the companion to Sally Yates in the Flynn targeting, lead staff for the Schiff/Nadler impeachment effort, later appointment by FISA Presiding Judge Boasberg to be amicus to the FISC, in combination with Chief Justice John Roberts holding authority over the FISC, and the discovery that Sheldon Snook, McCord’s husband works in Robert’s office as “special assistant to Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr.’s counselor. The counselor’s office advises the chief justice not only on the management and budget of the Supreme Court but also on his interactions with the executive and legislative branches, along with numerous other public roles in which Roberts serves.” (link)

Mary McCord is the fulcrum point for all of the above issues.  She connects all of the targeting operations.  Mary McCord is the center of it, and John Robert’s office is compromised by the appointment of her husband Sheldon Snook.  So, this story below does not surprise me.

Special Prosecutor Jack Smith jumped over the appeals court and asked the Supreme Court to decide on President Trump’s position of presidential immunity for his requests to secure the integrity of the 2020 election while in office.   In the fastest turn around time in history, the Supreme Court [Robert’s office] said yes, they will hear the arguments.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been an advocate for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine to solve the conflict.  This puts PM Orban in opposition to NATO and the larger EU narrative who want to continue funding the Ukraine proxy war.  {LINK}  The EU even began speculating about kicking Hungary out of the EU over the issue; to wit Orban smiles.

At the inauguration of Javier Milei, Volodymyr Zelenskyy confronted Viktor Orban and it was caught on camera.

In preparation for 2024 CTH now has a strong source arsenal of very specific contacts.  I can say with certainty that Tucker Carlson publicly expresses significant support for Elon Musk and his Twitter endeavor; however, privately Tucker says he doesn’t trust Musk one bit.

What’s the motive for the two faces?  Easy, Carlson is launching his own platform, and he is publicly positioning for the largest populist audience, while avoiding the harder road of speaking true, yet unpopular opinions.   Tucker isn’t the only voice doing that, and (short term) Musk is benefiting, but watch out.  Take that reality as you will, but it’s a truthful baseline.

[Trending Politics] – Tucker Carlson is launching a new streaming dedicated to his brand of brash conservatism, one that is expected to rival the online efforts of Fox News and other major players in center-right news circles.
