For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Bidenomics, August 2022 Inflation Data Infographic

Someone had requested a simple to see infographic of the Bureau of Labor and Statistics August inflation data with monthly and yearly outcomes.  I thought everyone might find this graphic as a good tool for sharing with your network.  [Data Source Link]

Additionally, the BLS also released the producer price index today [DATA HERE].  The PPI for goods dropped slightly, as we expected, due to the August temporary decline in gasoline and diesel.   However, the PPI for final demand services moved up 0.4 percent in August, the fourth consecutive rise.

We are now seeing service providers having to raise their prices to cover their increased costs.   This could be trouble for employment in the long-term.

Making Sweden Great Again – After Stunning Election Victories Sweden Shifts Right, Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson Resigns

Within the politics of Sweden, the ‘Sweden Democrat‘ party is the equivalent of MAGA Republicans.  As a result, the European media call them “far-right.”

As the results of last weekend’s election are finally tabulated, the anti-globalist parties in Sweden have surged to victory.  With all of the consequences from globalist policies creating havoc in the country, the political dynamic in Sweden has now flipped.

Do not let this election outcome slip your geopolitical reference point.  Current Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson has lost the majority coalition. She has resigned.  European leftists are shocked and big mad.

(Dutsche Welle) – Sweden’s right-wing opposition appears to have won in a razor-thin electoral race. The big winner of the elections are the far-right Sweden Democrats, who could become part of government for the first time.Sweden’s right-wing opposition appears to have won a thin majority in the country’s parliament with nearly all votes counted.

Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said that she would resign and that preliminary results were clear enough to draw conclusions. She said that it was important that Sweden gets a new government as soon as possible.

Leader of the nationalist Sweden Democrats, Jimmie Akesson, declared victory and pledged to “put Sweden first.”

Site Note

My steadfast disposition when it comes to research, analysis and truthful discussion, is to write about and share information as it exists – regardless of our comfort or lack therein.  While this independence firmly isolates CTH from outside influence, and we go to great lengths to retain extreme independence, the absence of alignment with herd protection does -in some narrow circumstances- leave us slightly vulnerable.

CTH has always viewed Donald J Trump as the Ty Cobb of politics.  Perhaps, I would even relate the general sense and disposition of CTH to such a comparative analogy.

The truth has no agenda and factually doesn’t care about our feelings.  We try to ensure information and analysis found here always carries that same authentic truth.

The discoveries might suck but we move forward knowing our reality as it exists, not as we would pretend/wish it to be.

That said, and after twice being targeted by the very system we expose, and despite victories in both examples, it has been recommended that I establish a defensive fund.  Not because any risk exists, but more of an insurance policy against the type of lawfare that now appears to be an ongoing effort.

This website operates on the principle that truthful information should not come at a price and should not come through any filter. It never will, and I sincerely appreciate all of the support from readers and contributors who help cover the multiple costs of independent operations that are anti-fragile to the efforts of a controlling ideology in a big tech dominated world.

I pledge to you this.  Regardless of the opposition’s strength or influence, in the battlespace of information sharing, this website will be the last to fall.

Steadfast and love to all,

~ Sundance

DOJ-NSD Frantic That Special Master Might Review IC Defined Classified Documents, Even if Trump Declassified, Because Sources and Methods

Late yesterday the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) filed another motion in federal court urging Judge Cannon not to allow the special master to review documents they alone determine to be “classified.”  [pdf of motion Here]

The DOJ-NSD, officially the Trump targeting division, is frantic that an outside reviewer would be granted access to oversee the DOJ/IC unilateral determinations of the documents, even if…. [watch the goal posts moving now]…  those documents were previously declassified by President Trump.

Yes, even if the documents were declassified (they were), the DOJ is apoplectic that someone would be allowed to see them.  Their reason?…  “sources and methods” might be exposed.

The DOJ-NSD is claiming the Intelligence Community (IC) is the real authority here, not the President of the United States.  It is a rather remarkable position to take.

You might even find yourself wondering by what constitutional authority does anyone in the IC bureaucracy determine whether a president’s declassification of documents was legit?  The President has the power to declassify; however, according to the position of the DOJ-NSD, the president must defer to them.  :::spit:::  Hopefully Judge Cannon sees this for what it is.

September 14th – 2022 Presidential Politics – Resistance Day 603

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

~ Mike Vanderboegh

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Flashback, July 24, 2019, Robert Mueller “Not in My Purview”

From the latest court filing by Special Counsel John Durham, we learn that Robert Mueller’s FBI investigators interviewed Christopher Steele’s primary Source, Igor Danchenko, on June 15, 2017.

In addition to being on the payroll of the FBI since March as a confidential informant, exactly two weeks later, June 29, 2017, the Robert Mueller special counsel renewed the Carter Page FISA application to continue their exploitation of the comprehensive title-1 surveillance warrant against the Trump administration.

Additionally, within the court filing against Igor Danchenko, we find that FBI personnel from Robert Mueller’s team interviewed Christopher Steele:

Now consider this specific line of questioning of Robert Mueller, conducted on July 24, 2019, after the Mueller special counsel published their report.  The questioning is from New York Representative Elise Stephanik to Robert Mueller on the specifics of the special counsel questioning Christopher Steele and/or his source, Igor Danchenko.
