Who understands the power of Your anger

And Your fury, according to the fear that is due You?

So teach us to number our days,

That we may present to You a heart of wisdom.

Do return, O LORD; how long will it be?

And be sorry for Your servants.

O satisfy us in the morning with Your lovingkindness,

That we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

Make us glad according to the days You have afflicted us,

And the years we have seen evil.

Let Your work appear to Your servants

And Your majesty to their children.

Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us;

And confirm for us the work of our hands;

Yes, confirm the work of our hands.

— Psalm 90:11-17 NAS95

I am listening to this now, almost finished. Only took me ~ 15 minute to determine the who and why. I had no idea who this guy was, but as someone who invented something to revolutionize the transportation energy industry, it was a no brainer. Can you say "Rockefeller?" The short selling is just a side show. The entire show is about this side show without ever fingering the real culprit. Some yutz nobody short seller doesn't ' suddenly have the cheese or the coin to control the DoJ, SEC, media, the infamous Southern District of NY court, and huge law firms. Who does? Can you say Rockefeller? Who had the most to lose if Milton's company went big time? Not the first time or the 51st time someone who invented cheap energy that circumvented the cabal toll booth got squashed.

The true evil isn't isolated to this one incident. Listen to Amy Nelson's story.

Amazon’s DEEP government partnerships could RUIN YOUR LIFE | The Patriot KEIB AM 1150 | The Glenn Beck Program https://share.google/TY1nwErZxiOuTJYG2

And then there is all the J6ers. At least they have their lives. Many others have been killed when filing for patents that threaten an industry or when they need to control a politician, judge, etc. Or...if they speak openly about something they shouldn’t: Tim Russert, Trevor Moore, Issac Kappy.

If Trump succeeds in taking down the deep state, he will go down as the greatest president ever.

IDK what to believe with this but I want to watch it.

I know nothing about this but my first impression is...

They make him look pretty bad by misleading investors. Didn't they mislead us about something safe and effective?

Why aren't any of them in jail?

However, when it comes to messing with their money like with free energy or cancer cures, people who share them end up dead.

AI basically said:

Trevor never went to jail, got a pardon after he donated about a mil to Trump political committees, did not have to pay fines or victim restitution.

Listen to the interview. Trevor has answers and receipts for everything. He was destroyed by short sellers and our government. Trump told him he received his pardon because the government had done the same thing to Trump.

I don't believe a man can't be bought or blackmailed. That would be a very very rare thing even for good men with integrity to be trapped into and those rare ones probably get taken out. Trump was bailed out of debt by Rothschild 20+ years ago. That is a red flag. I'm not saying he is or isn't, just saying it is possible and not to be sure of anything.

The catholic church was bailed out by the Rothschilds also due to the church's impending bankruptcy due to the lifestyle of the popes, etc. This was many years ago. So that would mean the church was bought also.

Great stuff on the trade deal but some questions on Russia Hoax

Jeff - the other day you said "Either Obama faces justice, or Trump’s presidency is buried beneath the weight of his own words."

AND - not even 72 hours later Trump signals that Obama will not face any justice "Owes me big" for the immunity case.

Jeff as a lawyer you must have been aware of this before writing the piece the other day. so what the heck is going on?

Are we going to get justice? Is Trump blowing up his presidency? or is this whole thing just going to become " no harm no foul / nothing to see here / move along to the next shiny object"?

They didn’t just come after Trump, they came after us. Every lie, every leak, every cover-up was a direct attack on the American people.

And they’re still at it. Still protecting each other. Still hiding the truth. This isn’t politics anymore. This is war for the soul of the Republic.

At some point Trump needs to call a live address from the oval office to explain what happened during the Russia hoax. Its just too complicated for the average person to follow.

I think many are forgetting everything they did to President Trump and his family. They stole his second election and tried to steal the third (did steal many seats and fill them with people he is fighting every day both dem and rino.) They brought massive unjust lawfare against him to steal his wealth and freedom, to make him out as a criminal. They have tried to murder him multiple times and almost succeeded but for the grace of God. If anyone wants these motherfuckers, it is Trump. Do you really think he doesn't want to roll up ovomit, clinton, comey, brennan, clapper and so damn many more? As I have said again and again, Let The MAN Cook!

It’s getting quite old with people complaining people aren’t in jail and being taken care of, blah blah, etc etc. Justice takes time, if you want to make it stick. People need to calm down and practice the patience they should be practicing. If we find out Trump did nothing at the end of his term, then we talk. Now, we just wait and watch.

There's merit to a multi-generational cycles theory. Action, reaction, reaction to reaction until a cultural system's "center cannot hold." Some say the cycle is 75-to-80 years, so Yeats' WWI era "Second Coming" might indicate we're overdue for a major overhaul. We are definitely on the leading edge of overhaul.

Reharding Tarrifs I do notwant one sided deals. I want equitable deals and I think

Jeff is missing that the US will pay recipiricol tarrifs in this deal.

The core of the agreement involves a 15% tariff on a wide range of goods traded between the US and the EU.

Exceptions:

Crucially, there are exceptions. Some products will not face any tariffs, including aircraft, certain chemicals, some agricultural products, and some generic drugs.

Ongoing Negotiations:

Negotiations are still ongoing for other products, such as steel, aluminum, wine, and spirits, and the final outcome on tariffs for these items is yet to be determined.

EU's VAT:

It's also important to note that the EU's VAT (Value Added Tax) is a consumption tax applied to goods sold within the EU, and it is not a discriminatory tax against US exports. Consumers in the EU pay VAT on purchases.

These Pfizer genetic sequences will be passed on forever in not just the ā€œvaccinated,ā€ but, also, in the offspring of unvaccinated individuals procreating with those that have been genetically modified.

And now, for the first time ever, it has been irrefutably proven that DNA contamination from these ā€œvaccinesā€ is not some accidental ā€œcontaminationā€ or benign artifact, but, rather, a ticking time bomb that will permanently alter the genetic fabric of humanity.

And by praxis, by how the whole shebang works, we are being gaslighted night and day by word use, by phantom-like imagery as to what we are. And so when you say, "How can it be a republic when you look at the big picture?", it can't possibly be. Trust your instincts, your judgment. Trust your logical inferences by observations made, because this is what 'they' want you to doubt so that the gaslighting operation can continue apace.

Good people I met at the time during which I was the Vice Chair of the Constitution Party of Virginia, they would talk about rights. Very often I would ask these people "... what do you mean? Constitutional right law, or civil right law?" Invariably, these folks would say, "What do you mean?" I had to put it that way because if I had said "Unalienable Right or civil rights law?" ... the fog in front of their eyes would have only thickened so much so that an attempt towards clarification would have been at that moment a terminal derailment, and a glazed eyes end of conversation.

I give the above as only one large small example in a forest of examples. Our real history is so throughly obfuscated that any attempt to restore the old American Republic at this point in time is an impossibility. In order to maintain a republic a moral and well-educated people is required ... and that is precisely what the founder/framers said to us. Sadly, we have in large parts neither moral or well-educated. And by deliberate design by 'our ruling betters'.

Our early history, forms, customs, habits of law have been eclipsed and erased from the public mind by the Public Non-education System. The present administration if both fighting a civil war plus engaging in a normalization agenda. And then there the urgency of monetary restructure in the wings. This is a dialing back, not a constitutional restoration going on.

" In order to maintain a republic a moral and well-educated people is required ... and that is precisely what the founder/framers said to us. Sadly, we have in large parts neither moral or well-educated. And by deliberate design by 'our ruling betters'.

This , mi amigos, is the fact that keeps on taking. One can talk forever about what WE must do ....bladda bladda bladda ....

Only big problem is : We that are moral and capable of objective critical thinking represent a very small percentage. THESE traits can not be passed on through an education "system" . It must be instilled by passing it down and around ..... by persons who themselves are living that dream.

Right on daver especially about "Sadly, we have in large parts neither moral or well-educated." If we had just those 2 things, they would lose all control and it explains why they have polluted history, education, health, music, tv, water, food, brainwashing.....

I do find learning alternate history fascinating like the Russian Holomodor for instance. You can't believe much of recorded history since there are always bias and perspectives, but you can compare the stories and infer the probable truth. WW1 and 2 were definitely not what history recorded.

I have no idea, but suspect we may have been "reset" maybe in the last 200 years. It is a far out theory, but when the Smithsonian rolls in and "disappears" discoveries, you know they are hiding history. There are a lot of unexplained impossible building/history/time frame about ornate buildings all over the world with catacombs (thousands and 10s of thousands of skulls never buried but collected???) and tunnels below and that is what we are allowed to know, unexplained fires burning cities of stone buildings, unreasonable destruction of these magnificent buildings that had carved gargoyles, angels, and evil things that would give us clues of true history. It's a darker history than we think IMO.

Sure the US Constitution and government are empowering to an aware, involved, educated and actively moral people who zealously confront and resist natural human inclinations to wickedness, corruption, and lust for power and wealth.

Well said WP. They let us fight our grievances in a system that is ultimately rigged against us but not for them, and more often unconstitutional. The BAR is not even American with double speak meanings to trick and trap us.

It is what it is. IMO, the USA is/was an experiment because people who believe they are "free" are better producers for the elusive top parasites of the world. Masonry and other linked secret societies play a major role to keep control from the bottom up. There is no fixing the deep state but we can still beat back the evil and live our lives as God commands. So while evil exists, it is the best we can do. That is how I can live with the whole messed up world and not go crazy trying to figure out who did what, what is the truth, or solve the problems.

yes, Obama and his team of conspirators went from their J.

This is also an example of the Fedocratic "Resistance" being directed and given legitimacy and energy from the previous Commander In Thief. This was never concluded, perhaps it has been mothballed with Trump 2.0 efforts to root it out. This is all certainly connected in various ways to Impeachment I, with CoVid 19, the Election shenanigans in 2020 (including getting Biden the primary win in S. Carolina), Jan 6th riot, Impeachment II, and myriad other issues and agencies. Couple this with the Obama-Conspirator involvement in Joe Biden's presidency and his 2024 Campaign, and it becomes obvious that this high-level subversion of the Trump administration, ALL Agencies and clear cut media manipulations, the control and operation of the DNC merits unlimited resources to unravel and prosecute. Obama's immunity only covers his crimes as president to the point of when he knowingly took the initiative to attack an incoming president and then cover up his doing so.

You made my point - "They were duped", and by transparent scammers. The list of red flags for the COVID jabs, that were known at the time, is too long to list here, and there are so many I'd forget to cite a lot of them. Most are known to C&C readers anyway. But one is sufficient - since when do we give an invasive medical treatment to people who don't need it? Even if it's not an experimental, never-before-used-on-humans technology that turns your body into a spike protein factory. It didn't have to be in their wheelhouse. Millions of non-scientists knew it was a stupid mistake before the rollout. It was obvious to us, what TF is wrong with them? No excuses, like "trusted people". What people, Fauci, BIrx, Bourla, Bancel? Yeah, that shows excellent judgement.

I like both of them, a lot. Tulsi is outright awesome. But my confidence in their ability is tempered by their unforgivable fail on the jabs. DJT has not moved against the jabs at all. I'm not aware of Tulsi coming out against them, I hope that's true but haven't heard any such thing.

Despite your unnecessary sarcasm, I'm reasonable enough to concede you might be right, maybe I'm asking for too much. While it turned out the jabs were probably a bad idea for all demographics, I can overlook recommending them for people that seemed clearly at risk for COVID, after all, they might have worked pretty well, and they might have been reasonably safe. But to push them for people known to be at virtually zero risk? Since millions of regular citizens called it right, not to mention thousands of scientists, I don't think I'm being unreasonable. You hold them to the same standard as the general public, most of whom just blindly follow whatever the prevailing narrative is? This is not just any mistake. Pushing novel, never-before used MRNA onto people who didn't need it, because you trusted pharma, the media, deep state, and compromised academics, while ignoring scientists who were clearly less conflicted and made a lot more sense, is a big problem for me. They had atrocious judgement on maybe the most important issue of our time. That doesn't give me a heck of a lot of confidence in their judgement on any issue. Overall, both of them are awesome. I'm just saying their past, inexcusable bad call does not inspire confidence.

You are correct in thinking it will be orchestrated - Esptein will likely be a limited hangout. Maxwell has already been accused twice of perjury. Her father was murdered for what he knew.

The limited hangout element is already taking shape - all the focus is on her. There are mountains of evidence from Epstein's homes. A photo op from his FL case showed prosecutors with over 100 file boxes of files. They confiscated boxes of audio and video recordings. Nobody is talking about this.

What IS the end game? Simple. WHAT person is ever ever ever going to do for a president what those people did? Nobody. They did the bidding of their overlord when they should have known better. Now we will have forced ethics. They may get to sit in prison bcause of their own greed, but it was Obama's manipulation that put them there.

Obama is also done in polite society. His legacy may be worse than Biden's. And the difference? Biden doesn't know. Obama gets to live with the full knowledge of it all.

Everything that goes around, comes around. We don't always get to see it. But we see it often enough to believe it. THIS time WE and the world AND Obama see it.

Feel better? You should. I hope so.

I'll feel better when I see charges for people that I have heard of. As Elon says "pics or it didn't happen" I say - charges or this is bs.

I am not asking for the entire deep state to be unwound or for us to have trials, convictions, and sentencing in the the next 3 months. But there needs to be CHARGES.

HOWEVER the best thing that could happen is for Trump to undo every single aspect of Obama's legacy. What better revenge than to make it look like Obama had never been the President?

Sadly, the tariffs are a spit in the bucket compared to our $2 TRILLION annual deficits.

Some very harsh cuts will be necessary and, IMO, they will not be enough to prevent a market and currency collapse... too late.

Stop making and supporting wars... the DOD budget should be cut in HALF.

Means testing for Social Security and Medicare (except for me!)

Cut foreign aid by 90% across the board... Israel & Ukraine, 100%.

Outlaw any benefits or support of non-citizens.

Line item veto, all Bills.

Massively increase drilling in Alaska and the arctic, all revenues toward the debt, VERY limited Big Oil percentages.

Massively increase smaller, safer nuclear power plants.

Make gold and silver legal tender, all states.

Cancel half of all US debt held by China as a penalty for IP theft and other cheating.

"Means-testing (except for me)" is a key reason why SS will never be reformed. Everyone is in favor of cutting gov spending until they lose whatever benefit that effects them. SS recipients are a huge voting bloc with hair-trigger sensitivity and SS is 21% of the total budget outlay. Political death to anyone who dares go there. 24% of the budget is for medicare, medicaid and related gov health programs. Similar public perception there - granted polls are garbage but flipping around on talk radio yesterday and the host quoted a poll saying the majority of Americans are in favor of the OBBB medicaid work requirements but 2/3rds were against cuts. Would not be surprised if this was accurate. Too many have been conditioned to make 'government benefits = compassion' as a hill to die on.

Abiding Dude's avatar

I was trying to be funny. Yes, I would give them both up. IF that ever passed...

Yes, SS is a huge voting bloc... ditto Medicare... but when I say means testing, I mean a very big number... like those with total net assets over $5-10 million as an example... maybe much higher. The goal would be to gain a significant reduction in outlays, targeting those that can most easily afford to give them up.

The alternative is certain financial system meltdown and currency collapse, which would be far more difficult for the very wealthy to bear.

Medicaid is riddled with fraud and parasites. Throw out all non-citizens, do deep reviews of all those receiving benefits... then let DOGE really dig in. Work requirements and limit the benefits to 3 kids per family. Many grifters have 5-9 kids for the massive benefits.

YES - saw a post on left leaning group on FB about the Minnesota 'small business of the year' crying that the Trump tariffs were destroying her biz (she designs & sells teething toys and baby accessories that I presume are all made in China). Mentions she fears she will lose her house.

The elephant in the room is that very likely means she got an SBA loan - which requires a personal guarantee, which for most people, means putting your house up as collateral. It's a vicious trap. I worked in small biz consulting for many years and literally begged clients to not take SBA loans but entrepreneurs are a very optimistic lot and few consider the downside/risk.

And ironically, all these products made in China, that her website touts as safe and non-toxic, are very possibly NOT safe and non-toxic.

I'd rather see trump use the tariff money to buy silver... or gold... both will soon BOOM... when the dollar collapses, which, IMO, is a sure thing.

I’m with you. Better things may come down the pike if we keep our eyes on the prize - no more IRS.

How will that ever happen when the very admin and party who runs on and promises balanced budgets pass a massive bill that adds trillions more to the deficit?

That little bit added to the debt just recently also came when our economy grew by 11 trillion dollars. What you are doing is called disingenuous at best. Not everyone falls for that stupidity. Bet you also crowed in his first term ā€œ tax breaks for billionaires ā€œ!

Agreed. In the BBB, one trillion dollars going for the Dept. of Offense, for starters...

To whom do we owe all that money and how much of it is interest?

That is an impossibility, but hope springs eternal. The only way we could get even close to chipping off a miniscule amount would be to stop the bleeding (entitlement programs on the chopping block).

And $37 Trillion is not really the right figure... the real number is over $200 trillion...

"Unfunded" liabilities are real.
