48 States and US Government Sue Facebook for Illegal Monopoly Practices

Facebook is facing a lawsuit filed by 48 states for monopoly practices and the FTC is joining with supportive legal action. NY Attorney General Latitia James held a news conference to announce the antitrust lawsuit using Instagram & WhatsApp as examples.

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal regulators on Wednesday sued to force a breakup of Facebook as 48 states and districts accused the company in a separate lawsuit of abusing its market power in social networking to crush smaller competitors.

The antitrust lawsuits were announced by the Federal Trade Commission and New York Attorney General Letitia James. The FTC specifically asked a court to force Facebook sell off its Instagram and WhatsApp messaging services.

Report: FBI Raided Maricopa County Residence to Retrieve Evidence of Cyber Intrusion into Voting Systems…

There is an interesting article in Forbes today about a previously unknown FBI raid in Maricopa County, Arizona, where agents seized computers, hard drives, USB sticks and electronic devices in connection with a cyber intrusion into election systems.

The Maricopa County Registrars office reports more than 2.5 million registered voters are within the system that appears to have been the targeted office of the intrusion.

The FBI isn’t talking, and the story only surfaced as an outcome of one part, the search warrant, of a sealed court filing.  Forbes Story Here

[…] “The Justice Department in Arizona told Forbes it couldn’t comment. An FBI spokesperson said they could neither confirm nor deny any investigation. The full scope of the investigation and the breach of Maricopa County’s website remains under seal.” (more)

Considering what the past several years have revealed about the FBI; and considering the recent evidence of the FBI purposefully burying information from within the Hunter Biden laptop for over a year; it seems entirely possible this Arizona FBI effort was more intended to hide the reality of election vulnerabilities and intrusions, as opposed to investigating them?

How sad is it that we carry such unfortunate perspectives in our mind?

The FBI now more closely resembles, essentially, what we previously called Soviet-era “state police”.   FUBAR.

The Precarious Duplicity of the Republican Apparatus in Georgia, and Here Comes Trump

To quote from a movie line: “they kill them with their love”… An unfortunate metaphor for how Mitch McConnell and the republican regime, Decepticons, stay in power.

Essentially, Georgia voters are presented with a hostile scenario.  A Machiavellian republican apparatus that will not fight against voter fraud on behalf of the voters because GOPe leadership are in alignment with UniParty (Big Club) political interests.

“If you love what remains of your country you will support us”… says the abuser. “If you don’t, you will speed your own destruction”….. “and don’t blame me”, the message continues.

As an outcome Georgia Governor Brian Kemp does nothing but talk about the horrors of the 2020 election fraud, and does nothing.  Meanwhile Kemp says everything must be done to protect the two republican Senate candidates.

  • December 7th – Final Day for Georgia Voter Registration
  • December 14th – Three weeks of early in-person voting begins
  • January 5th – Election day (Polls close 7pm)

MAGA-minded patriots are facing an option where they do not want to support the duplicity of a transparently corrupt GOPe apparatus; yet if they do not show up en masse to support party candidates David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler they will be turning over control of the U.S. Senate to democrats. 

This dynamic is an all too familiar position within the cycle of abuse. A dynamic that has kept Senate Leader Mitch McConnell in power.

Yes, the establishment Republican apparatus knows exactly how to play this game and constitutional conservatives are once again in that exact same situation.

The Election Fraud, The Usefulness of COVID, and The Big Picture

Responding to numerous inquires, let’s chat…

Nothing currently unfolding is surprising to many long-term CTH political researchers and observers.  After all, it’s The Last Refuge because we have been talking about the tentacles of this for a very, long time.  However, that said, let’s step back away from the chaff and countermeasures for a few moments and lay out some of the ‘why’.

Step One – First, the financial powers beyond the Big Club gain full unlawful compliance by those within the election system; those who would willingly break election laws by manipulating outcomes; by framing the target -Donald Trump- as evil.  Thus, workers justify their unlawful activity as saving the nation “by any means necessary“…

The Tools – The COVID-19 narrative becomes a tool to achieve a variety of objectives: debate controls; the deployed ‘excuse‘ for a very visible lack of voter enthusiasm for the puppet (Biden); the use of fraudulent ‘mail-in ballots’; the keeping of socially distant physical auditors, etc.  Without COVID as a tool the manufactured process is more difficult. The ‘never let a crisis go to waste‘ strategy includes the creation of a crisis.

Why? – Why all of this effort?… why such extremes?… why would blue state governors willingly destroy their economy?….  Follow the money, it’s always about the money.

The global ideology is worthless without money.   Wall Street’s Rick Santelli knows, he’s watching the second deployment of an identical playbook.

So when your friends ask why, let’s talk about ‘why‘.

Despondent LA Restaurant Owner Cries Out For Help, While Choking Amid The Hypocrisy

Angela Marsden is an owner of the Pineapple Hill Saloon and Grill since 2011.  They are barely hanging-on to their business amid the insufferable COVID compliance dictates from LA Mayor Garcetti, the municipal COVID compliance officers, and arbitrary COVID decrees devoid of any scientific merit.  Today the weight of it all became too much:

The Pineapple Hill Saloon and Grill has a website [SEE HERE] and a contact page where you can show your support. Amid these challenging times fellowship and a spirit of community within the common sense rebel alliance is critical. Make sure you do not allow people to think they are ‘on their own’.

Twelve Years Later, Rick Santelli Nails It Again

Many people may not remember the February 2009 famous rant by CNBC financial pundit Rick Santelli that captured the heart of the Tea Party movement in response to massive announced bailouts of Wall Street institutions.  There are trillions at stake.

Wall Street pundit Rick Santelli was originally responding to the famous TARP,  Auto-bailouts, Porkulous, Omnibus, QE1, QE2 and ultimately the American Recovery and Restoration Act (ARRA ie. stimulus ‘shovel ready jobs‘), all of which were financial bailouts and payments for politically connected financial interests and unions. None of these programs assisted Main Street USA with a dime.

Fast forward twelve years later and here we are again. The same voices, with the same playbook, with the same insufferable political manipulation under the guise of COVID compliance mandates.  The ‘never let a crisis go to waste crowd‘; and the soon-to-follow massive state spending bailouts; for which COVID is the purposeful cover story.

COVID-19 has more purposefully weaponized political arrows than any previously used financial quiver. However, if you step-back and compare the agenda – there is a brutal amount of similarity… all of the exact same benefactors…. and Main Street collapses.

This is the progressive way to a Marxist economy.  We The People are collateral damage.

Freedom Under Attack – NC Store Owner Cited for Sign Not Requiring Masks

Comrades, a shop owner in North Carolina has been given a citation by local COVID Compliance Authorities for non-compliant signage in their store allowing previously free-range citizens to enter the establishment without masks.

If the promotion of respiratory freedom, by free and independent citizens in a private commercial building, is now a violation of the COVID regulations; well, how long before that intrusive citation applies inside your private residence.  Think about it…

WENDELL, N.C. — A North Carolina store owner has been cited for encouraging customers NOT to wear masks in her store. Police said the signs violate Gov. Roy Cooper’s mask-wearing order, which was imposed to preserve public health during the coronavirus pandemic.

Wendell General Store owner Regina Harmon was cited Wednesday with one count of aiding and abetting the violation of an executive order, news outlets reported.

Comrade Garcetti Orders All LA Residents To Remain In Their Homes Indefinitely, Orders LAPD Enforcement…

..”If the public are bound to yield obedience to laws to which they cannot give their approbation, they are slaves to those who make such laws and enforce them.”..  ~Sam Adams

A rogue citizen could put a compliant society at risk of infection. They may not just carry biologics they could carry a more alarming virus of wrong-thought against the interests of the state. Rogue citizen assembly at this critical juncture would be subversive to our new society. “Social Distancing” now turns into “House Arrest”… details, comrades, details.

CALIFORNIA – All residents within the city of Los Angeles should continue to remain in their homes and follow the city’s “safer-at-home” order, which mirrors guidance from L.A. County, according to the mayor’s office.

A public order posted on the mayor’s website Wednesday detailed many of the restrictions.  People may lawfully leave their residences only to engage in defined essential activities.

Midnight Action – Supreme Court Blocks New York State Restrictions on Religious Gatherings…

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled against the state of New York and Governor Andrew Cuomo in a late night emergency ruling barring the state from reimposing limits on religious gatherings.  [full pdf here]

In the 5-4 ruling the newest supreme court justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with the Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn, while justice John Roberts sides with the liberal justices in the minority, but seems to agree on the merits.

“Stemming the spread of COVID–19 is unquestionably a compelling interest, but it is hard to see how the challenged regulations can be regarded as ‘narrowly tailored,’” the court wrote in an unsigned opinion.

“They are far more restrictive than any COVID–related regulations that have previously come before the Court, much tighter than those adopted by many other jurisdictions hard-hit by the pandemic, and far more severe than has been shown to be required to prevent the spread of the virus at the applicants’ services.”

“It is hard to believe that admitting more than 10 people to a 1,000–seat church or 400–seat synagogue would create a more serious health risk than the many other activities that the State allows.” (full pdf)
