Within the larger Western Intelligence Community and government control system overall, there is always internal communication and coordination amid the primary players (the G7 and G20 crowd).  No government does anything against a major communication player or Big Tech voice without the other governmental leaders having fore knowledge.

The U.S State Dept and Biden administration knew the French government were going to arrest Pavel Durov.  The context and the issues behind the justification are ridiculous.  Is Tim Cook now responsible for criminals who organize bank robberies on Apple iPhones?

(Via Fox News) – French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday claimed that Telegram CEO Pavel Durov’s arrest outside Paris over the weekend was “in no way a political decision.”   The development came after a French magistrate on Sunday extended the 39-year-old Russian-born billionaire’s detention, French daily newspaper Le Monde reported.

[…] The Paris prosecutor’s office said in a statement Monday that the suspected violations include complicity in selling child pornography and in drug trafficking, fraud, abetting organized crime transactions and refusing to share information or documents with investigators when required by law, The Associated Press reported. 

Jean-Michel Bernigaud, secretary general of Ofmin, a French police agency tasked with preventing violence against minors, said Durov’s arrest was related to the platform allegedly not properly moderating content related to child sex crimes.  (read more)

The tech world, Big Tech leaders, internet researchers and every normal person of stable constitution, knows that nothing about those justifications is accurate to the motives of the leftist government in France.  What the government fears most is unregulated information that is averse to their interests.

“Crimes against children”?… Where was this concern when minors were force vaccinated at the behest of the same government entities now decrying “crimes against children.”  This ruse is nonsense.

Former Democrat turned Independent Tulsi Gabbard, a former congresswoman from Hawaii, today endorsed President Donald Trump against Vice President Kamala Harris.

Representative Gabbard served Hawaii’s 2nd congressional district from 2013 to 2021 but announced her exit from the Democrat party in 2022 after denouncing it as an “elitist cabal of warmongers.” Gabbard previously supported Bernie Sanders when the DNC worked internally to undermine his campaign in favor of Hillary Clinton (’16) and Jor Biden (’20).

Gabbard is a former Democrat who ran in the 2019 Democratic presidential primary against Harris and was recently recruited by President Trump’s campaign team to help with preparation ahead of the September 10th debate against Kamala Harris at the National Constitutional Center in Philadelphia. WATCH:

After Robert F Kennedy endorsed President Trump, Kennedy shared over the weekend that several prominent Democrats were expected to join forces with President Trump and announce endorsements over the next week.  Gabbard appears to be one of the first in that predictive cycle.

More than 4,200 Guard officers, their spouses and other guests in attendance.

The National Guard conference agenda includes Pentagon leaders and lawmakers every year. During presidential election years, NGAUS also invites the Democratic and Republican nominees for president.

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.”

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

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

Vice Presidential nominee Senator JD Vance, appears on Meet the Press for an argumentative debate on Trump policy.  On the issue of tariffs, this might have been JD Vance’s first opportunity to set the record straight about what tariffs did in the first Trump administration.

Unfortunately, because JD Vance did not have the data to refute the NBC talking points, he missed an opportunity to set the record straight.  Tariffs did not raise prices and consumers did not pay tariff rates in the first Trump administration.  Factually, the exact opposite happened.  Prices dropped when Trump tariffs were put into place, the reasons are explained after the interview. WATCH:  

Our own analysis of U.S. consumer prices in 2019 showed that prices of imported goods actually declined despite the tariffs. A recent report from CPA takes a look at the impact to Chinese exports to the U.S.  [SEE DATA HERE] Bottom line, the tariffs worked to reduce Chinese imports.

CPA – […] Since the Section 301 tariffs were imposed, the share of imports from China has steadily declined from 21.6% in 2017 the year prior to the tariffs to 16.5%, a decline of 5.1%. No other country has lost as much share of total U.S. import penetration over the past five years.

In terms of total import value, Mexico gained the most from the tariffs, adding $110.8 billion. Vietnam gained the second most in import value by $78.4 billion and by far gained the most of total share of U.S. imports. In 2017, Vietnam accounted for about 2% of U.S. imports at $46.5 billion. In 2022, the U.S. imported $127.5 billion in goods from Vietnam, and the share of the total nearly doubled to 3.9%. Other countries in Southeast Asia such as Thailand, Cambodia, and Indonesia all saw significant increases in their value of imports by the U.S. (read more)

With the 2024 election here, it is worth revisiting the actual tariff outcome to American consumers in order to dispel the popular myths about tariffs raising prices here at home.  This might be the cited data you want to bookmark for later reference.

It was the Fourth Quarter of 2019…..

Robert F Kennedy appears on Fox News Sunday to talk about his endorsement of President Donald Trump.  RFK Jr said President Trump reached out to him several times before the independent candidate finally decided to talk to President Trump.

RFK Jr also confirms that he reached out to the Kamala Harris campaign in order to discuss the possibilities of forming an agreement with the Democrats before he decided to accept the relationship with President Trump.

The former candidate now says he will actively campaign with President Trump as the republican party begins promoting the support of other well known Democrats.  It is an interesting discussion, worthy of the time you might invest to understand the details of the RFK Jr dynamic.  WATCH:

RFK JR delivered a short speech in Arizona, highlighting why it was both challenging and important for him to drop out of the race and support President Donald Trump.   The people closest to RFK Jr., are also impacted by his decision, and they have shared their opinion about it.

First, here is the transcript of the speech that RFK Jr gave to the enthusiastic audience.

[Transcript] – Thank you, President Trump. A few hours after the assassination attempt at Butler, I got a call from a safe food advocate named Calley Means, who’s been fighting for many years to try to end the corruption at the CDC, FDA, and USDA.

These institutions—these regulatory agencies—are actually run by the big food processing companies, the big ag, and the chemical companies that they’re supposed to regulate.

He said to me that he’d been advising me for many years and on my campaign. That night, he told me that he was also advising President Trump and asked if I would talk to President Trump. I said, “Of course.”

A few minutes later, I got a call from the President, and we talked. We had a very good conversation. Then he invited me to come see him the next day. I went to Minneapolis and saw him. We met again a couple of weeks later in Florida.
