Let’s see… We will trade you one SBF incarceration in exchange for one DJT incarceration and call it fair.

After a US judge in New York tells Sam Bankman-Fried he does not have unlimited first amendment rights, Judge Lewis Kaplan revoked bail and sent SBF to jail for using leaks to the media to intimidate a key federal witness against him – his former girlfriend.

Setting the stage for…

A US judge in DC telling President Donald John Trump he does not have unlimited first amendment rights; establishing the groundwork for sending DJT to jail for using his political platform to intimate Mike Pence, a key federal witness against him – his former Vice President.

Both of these things happened.  A narrative coincidence, I’m sure.

(Via NBC) – Sam Bankman-Fried will head to jail on Friday after a judge sided with a request by federal prosecutors to revoke the FTX founder’s bail over alleged witness tampering. Bankman-Fried will be remanded to custody directly from a court hearing in New York, where he will remain ahead of his criminal trial – which is due to begin on Oct. 2. 

Judge Lewis Kaplan denied Bankman-Fried’s request for delayed detention pending an appeal.

[…] In the motion requesting Bankman-Fried’s detention, the government said that, over the last several months, the defendant had sent over 100 emails to the media and had made over 1,000 phone calls to members of the press. The final straw, according to prosecutors, was Bankman-Fried leaking private diary entries of his ex-girlfriend, Caroline Ellison, to the New York Times. Ellison pleaded guilty to federal charges in Dec. 2022.

The New York Times has an article written yesterday noting how the DeSantis team has a special agreement with the RNC, via WinRed, to hide the small donor contributions to their campaign.

Knowing how the Big Club operates within the private corporation known as the RNC, and with small donor contributions being a debate qualification, it makes you wonder if this “special RNC agreement” with the DeSantis team might carry a motive to ensure a debate hurdle is overcome.

(New York Times) – When WinRed, the company that processes nearly all online Republican campaign contributions, recently released its enormous trove of donor data for the first half of the year, donations were conspicuously absent for one presidential candidate: Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida.

It was no technical glitch. The DeSantis campaign worked with WinRed in a way that prevented the disclosure of donor information, ensuring that the campaign’s small donors would remain anonymous, according to a person familiar with the campaign.

President Trump is too good at trolling the opposition; in part that’s why the professional left hate him so much.

According to the Des Moines Register, President Trump and Ron DeSantis will be attending the Iowa State Fair on Saturday.  However, President Trump will be flying into the political event with a contingent of Florida republicans who endorsed him and not DeMeatball.

IOWA – […] Former President Donald Trump will visit the Iowa State Fair Saturday with a bevy of congressional endorsers in tow — not high-profile Iowans, but nine Florida Republicans who have backed him over his chief rival and fellow Floridian, Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Trump’s campaign confirmed to the Des Moines Register that Republican U.S. Reps. Gus Bilirakis, Byron Donalds, Matt Gaetz, Carlos Gimenez, Brian Mast, Cory Mills, Anna Paulina Luna, Greg Steube and Mike Waltz will all be traveling with Trump to the Iowa State Fair and will be with him through the day.

Each of them has endorsed Trump over DeSantis, a former member of Congress, who will also be at the fair Saturday.

The Global Disinformation Index (GDI) is the group who define the content on platforms according to their ideological worldview and then blacklist sites who do not align their content to support the GDI perspective.   According to the Washington Examiner, Elon Musk has just partnered with them in order to enhance the advertising portfolio of Twitter and find ways to make it lose less money.

CTH has previously said to watch the economics of the Musk situation, because that will determine the outcome of the decisions. The hiring of NBC-Universal executive Linda Yaccarino was explicitly to lure the advertising side of the issue back onto the platform.

Once you are reliant on the advertising, you must then comply with the content terms of the companies who control the advertising.   Joining with a group to define “disinformation” is an outcome.

WASHINGTON – Elon Musk’s X, the social media company formerly known as Twitter, signed an exclusive partnership with a “misinformation” tracker linked to a government-funded group blacklisting conservative media outlets, records show.

On the heels of Musk in July describing how the social media company had negative cash flows due to a 50% drop in advertising revenue, X is teaming up with Integral Ad Science, an ad-verification company, for a “brand safety” initiative. That same ad group, which uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to rate alleged “misinformation,” is affiliated with the Global Disinformation Index, a British group with two affiliated U.S. nonprofit groups that the Washington Examiner revealed is covertly feeding blacklists of conservative websites to advertisers to defund disfavored speech.

An interesting podcast segment between Joe Rogan and Patrick Bet-David is below.

For thirteen years, CTH has been assembling the data showing how everything that is swirling around the world of cultural and political events can be encapsulated with the term “the economics of the thing.”  That quote is not about the applied exchanges of commerce or production, but rather another way to look at the old adage, “follow the money” and “he who controls the money.”  The difference between the two statements is found with massive financial institutions purchasing the biggest shares of companies.

“The economics of the thing,” drives a key point that cultural issues, sociological fabric, and political outcomes are driven by the mechanisms of a few people who control the constructs of the economic system: essentially, control of the corporations.  This is the issue behind our current reality that CTH predicted 15 years ago.

Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street, Larry Fink, and I would add Larry Page (Goog) and ultimately George Soros (pure ideological), form the massive financial network behind the second phrase, “There are trillions at stake.”  These are the entities who control political processes.   These are the entities who control politics.  These are the entities who control the RNC/DNC.  PBD is talking to Joe Rogan and starting to realize what President Trump is up against.  WATCH:

It’s actually nice to see people starting to elevate themselves high enough to see the issues we have pointed out on these pages for fifteen years.  Unfortunately, these types of awakenings and the subsequent broad sharing to a larger audience, is part of the reason why CTH has such a big target on our back.

It’s not the content that we provide for people to absorb that presents a risk to the power structure, it’s the context that we apply to the content.

The content is available widely, it is not in dispute, that is why we work diligently to provide the citations.  The content is never the issue; it’s the context of taking the momentary data point and applying it as one piece of the puzzle to the larger picture that is averse to the interests of the power holders.

The Alpha/Google spiders are not crawling around with their enhanced AI looking for words, phrases or content issues.  Enhanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) has given the spiders the ability to look for context.  The new Alpha/Goog AI spiders are crawling the internet looking for information provided with a detrimental and accurate context.  Those who are applying truthful context are the subversive voices that must be targeted.  Keep this in mind.

President Trump held a campaign rally in Windham, New Hampshire today just a week after the most recent DOJ indictment for contesting the results of the 2020 election. {Direct Rumble Link}

The prosecution of President Trump was part of the focus of the remarks, which began by questioning the audience about whether he should participate in the Fox News debate. The debate is scheduled for August 23 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Trump has previously suggested he may not participate, pointing to his substantial lead over his rivals in the polls.

President Trump asked, “should I do the debate?” The audience responded with widespread “no’s,” leading Trump to suggest he could “do something else” in lieu of debating other Republicans. “It doesn’t make sense to do it if you’re leading by so much, but they like it for entertainment value because they’re selfish,” President Trump remarked. WATCH:

In the latest New Hampshire poll [DATA HERE], Donald Trump has a substantial lead with 43%, over Chris Christie and Ron DeSantis battling it out at 9% for first loser status.  However, the familiar dark horse Undecided at 13% is helping put distance between Trump and the first losers in chase.

Ron DeSantis has effectively fallen to 4th place in New Hampshire after spending more time there and showing himself to more New Hampshire voters.  I suspected this was going to happen.  [Trump, Undecided, Christie, DeSantis]

Stunning discovery being shared by Gateway Pundit about a network of massive ballot fraud and voter registration fraud in Michigan as a result of a city clerk notifying local police.  The investigation uncovered a multi-state voter registration operation and the details within the state police report are quite remarkable.

(Gateway Pundit) […] On October 8, 2020. only one month before the 2020 general election, Muskegon, MI City Clerk Ann Meisch noticed a black female (whose name was redacted from the police report), dropping off between 8,000-10,000 completed voter registration applications at the city clerk’s office.

The Muskegon Police Department was contacted and asked to investigate. On 10/21/20 First Lieutenant Mike Anderson was contacted by Tom Fabus, Chief of Investigations for Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s Office. According to the MI State Police report, Mr. Fabus asked for Michigan State Police assistance with a joint investigation of alleged voter fraud being conducted by the Muskegon Police Department and the AG.   An investigative task force was formed, and an investigation was initiated.

Those who walk amid the weeds of political analysis will remember how much we discussed the very specific alignment of stars that created the very unique opportunity for Donald Trump to finally reveal the depth, scale and scope of the corruption in the U.S. body politic.

Amid those discussions, and in the challenging months and years that followed, a small but incredibly important aspect were the personal characteristics, traits and very unique perspectives of Melania Trump.

Perhaps a lioness, but an incredible woman who fortifies Donald Trump, candidate Trump and President Trump.  Without Melania in the arsenal, there simply is no Great MAGA King to fight this battle.

Page Six has an outline discussing how amid all the current turmoil Melania Trump is the rock, the counselor, the advisor and balance that keeps Donald Trump supported and sustained throughout. [READ HERE]

As embattled former President Trump faces his latest legal challenge, his wife, Melania Trump, has emerged as his anchor and “secret weapon,” his inner circle is saying.

A Trump insider told us of the 2024 candidate, “Melania is being credited by his friends with keeping President Trump ‘calm and focused’ amid the hellish week of his being indicted for the third time.”

The source added: “The couple and their son [Barron] have breakfast and dinner together regularly at their residence at his Bedminster golf club. [Melania] literally turns the news off at times so they can watch something else together, and she frowns over telephone or social media use at the table. Melania keeps him on track as a father and has in many ways stepped up to fill the place Ivanka [Trump] and Jared [Kushner] once had. She is his most intimate and internal sounding board.” (read more)

I think everyone agrees by now, Donald Trump possesses a very specific set of skills and abilities that are uniquely needed at this moment in our nation’s history.

A personable man with a sense of humor, the financial ability to withstand blistering attacks, strong sense of self identity, pragmatic outlook able to find optimal solutions, strength of conviction, knowledge of the problem and the determination to keep moving forward while not accepting defeat.

PLEASE Do not miss the anniversary timing.  NOTHING is accidental. EVERYTHING is connected.  Today is the anniversary of the August 8th FBI raid in Mar-a-Lago; the event that was preplanned to kick off the 2024 DC national removal effort, which was timed with the DeSantis national launch.  The remainder of this year’s GOPe forecast is cloudy with a chance of meatballs.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis continues to ignore his stewardship of the office he was entrusted to hold, as he fires his campaign manager and pulls his Florida chief of staff into the role.

Despite donor assurances just a week ago, campaign Manager Generra Peck has been removed from her position and replaced with James Uthmeier who serves as DeSantis’ chief of staff in the abandoned and collapsing state of Florida.  Peck will remain with the campaign as a strategist and Uthmeier will take a leave of absence from his role in Tallahassee to take over the position of campaign manager.

While James Uthmeier has zero campaign political experience, he is a lawyer with specific economic and legal skills related to his former job at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce where he served as legal counsel.  Given the nature of the reason for the Wall Street Sea Island group to support the 2024 DeSantis operation, having a multinational advocate in the role of campaign manager oddly does make sense.  There are trillions at stake.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Ron DeSantis has replaced his campaign manager Generra Peck, in what is the third major reshuffling of his operations, a campaign spokesperson and a person familiar with the move confirmed to POLITICO.

Peck will be shifted to a role of chief strategist as part of the new order. Taking her place atop the campaign will be James Uthmeier, who has served as chief of staff in DeSantis’ governor’s office. In a text message, Uthmeier said the change was happening “ASAP.”

[…] One person close to the campaign, who was granted anonymity to freely discuss the issue, said that Peck’s removal, which was first reported by The Messenger, was “no surprise. Should have happened a few weeks ago.”

Appearing with Sebastian Gorka, Kash Patel puts some excellent context on the issue of Dircuit Court Judge Chutkan presiding over the special counsel case against President Trump.  {Direct Rumble Link Here}

I was unaware of the detail where Judge Chutkan originally presided over the case when Fusion GPS tried to block Devin Nunes and Kash Patel from revealing the source of the payments for the Chriss Steele dossier.  This is a big datapoint. WATCH:

.

TRANSCRIPT – Kash Patel: “Judge Chutkan, for those who don’t know, represented Burisma, Hunter Biden’s fraudulent consulting firm, she was a lawyer at the same law firm with Hunter Biden. But Seb, let’s put that aside. What other matters are there for her recusal? In 2017 when Devin Nunes and I were running the Russiagate investigation, we figured out who paid for the Steele dossier. Fusion GPS, the DNC, and the Hillary Clinton campaign paid Christopher Steele millions of dollars and they laundered it through the FBI and the FISA court to unlawfully surveil Donald Trump.  That’s big-time stuff.

On the eve of us winning that disclosure, before the world knew, Fusion GPS took us to federal court and that case landed in JUDGE CHUTKAN’S COURT ROOM. … After a month of heavy litigation where Judge Chutkan knew the ins and outs of Fusion GPS, our proceedings, all possible witnesses, etc., when she could not prevent us from prevailing, she recused -on her own- from that case. Why?”
