Facebook Files, Fitch Downgrades & The Big Guy

Aug 13, 2023

Seems like a sleepy week or maybe that’s just End of Summer kicking in. Most of Europe is on holiday all of August and I’ve done my best to stay off the interwebs this week to recharge after a week working and playing hard in Barbados.

Doesn’t seem like I missed too much compared to previous weeks, but perhaps that’s just the influence of my info fast. Anyway, here’s the summary of ‘All the News That’s Fit to Meme’.

2024 Endorsement

I’ve decided to make an endorsement in the 2024 presidential election.

I want an open border, where illegal aliens, guns, & drugs can be easily trafficked in/out of the country.

I want nuclear war with Russia & I welcome the imminent war with Niger.

I want a society that judges personal worth by immutable characteristics, like skin color & gender.

I want our corporate taxes to be higher than other countries, so businesses leave & manufacture goods elsewhere.

I want to invest in the green climate scam, where we self-impose harsh regulations on our structures, while reliant on other countries w/o labor & sustainability restrictions for oil & gas.

I want a disarmed populace, who will be completely unable to defend themselves from criminals put back on the streets by an injustice system.

I want my allies to have complete impunity & the ability to use family ties for financial gain.

I want an authoritarian government, fueled by crooked judges & governmental agencies, to punish, jail, & cripple my political opponents.

For all of these reasons, we must support President Joe Biden.

Dirty Joe

In this week’s episode of, “How Corrupt is He?”, the House Oversight and Accountability Republican team dropped yet another memo this Wednesday that paints a vivid picture of the Biden Crime Family's nefarious dealings. The memo details how Hunter Biden, a man-child whose two decade resume shows proficient experience in crack smoking AND hooker banging seemingly cashed in on his vast business experience, raking in tens of millions from questionable foreign sources.

And where were these funds coming from? None other than Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan. Interestingly, these financial windfalls occurred during Joe Biden's vice-presidential tenure. Coincidence? Sure. Hell, if you believe the Covid came from a bat in a wet market and that masks and MRNA vaccines work, then it shouldn’t be too much of a leap to rule out that the these dubious dealings, reminiscent of the points previously raised in a Senate GOP report concerning the Biden family's international treachery, are all just a big NothingBurger.

For those who have been keeping track, this is the third such memo, all derived from bank records, revealing a paltry $20 million in foreign payments directed towards the Biden cartel.

The memo aptly calls out the feeble attempts by Biden's loyalists to point out there's no direct paper trail leading to the President himself. Convenient, isn't it? As the Chinese, Ukrainians, Russians and others paid Hunter Biden while Joe was VP just for his vast ‘business’ experience with no expectations of a Quid Pro Quo. I’m sure that’s why Hunter put Joe on the phone countless times and Burisma was ecstatic over the VP firing the former prosecutor looking into corruption at Burisma.

As if guilt can only be established if there’s a check direct to the Vice-President himself with the Memo section filled out saying, “Bribe for Dirty, Seditious Favors.”

Democrats, and their friends in the MockingBird Media’s attempt to audaciously argue that corruption can only be proven if you find the President's fingerprints directly on the money is a slap in the face to every law-abiding American who would be doing decades in prison for violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and numerous other statutes including treason. If any of us had family members bathing in foreign funds, there would be no question of impropriety. The fact remains that corruptly influencing someone through their kin is, by every definition, a bribe. The Bidens cannot and should not be above the law.

Hunter's emails and texts are replete with hints of financial ties to his father, including references such as "10% for the Big Guy" and the stark admission, “I pay for everything for my family”.

Then there’s the puzzling arrangement of Hunter handing over $50K monthly for a Delaware house that, by all market standards, shouldn’t cost more than $6K a month. This smells suspiciously like an attempt at financial sleight of hand.

Yet, without the backing of a truly unbiased and efficient Department of Justice, the Republicans may find their hands tied. At best, they can spotlight the purported abuse of power and potential sale of influence during Biden's vice-presidential tenure. One would hope that this won't be met with the same mindless, ‘Flouride Stare’ that much of the public has been displaying.

What’s bitterly ironic is that while President Trump faces scrutiny for challenging the integrity of the 2020 elections, the Bidens seemingly skate by without any repercussions for their international ‘Pay to Play’ financial escapades from 2012-2016.

Hunter’s Very Special Counsel

Merrick Garland's decision to appoint a special counsel in the Hunter Biden investigation underscores the importance of impartiality and public trust in legal proceedings, especially when they involve high-profile political figures. Appointing a special counsel can act as a safeguard against perceived conflicts of interest and ensures that investigations remain above political influence. By taking this step, Garland, the U.S. Attorney General, signals a commitment to transparency and the rule of law. The move can also bolster public confidence, as it demonstrates that no individual, regardless of their connections or standing, is above scrutiny. Moreover, the special counsel has a degree of autonomy from the Department of Justice, allowing for an independent examination of the facts. For Hunter Biden and the broader political landscape, this means that the investigation's findings, whatever they might be, will carry a weight of credibility and thoroughness, minimizing accusations of partisanship or bias.

Or at least, that’s what it might look like if I was a green around the ears Government Major writing a college essay on this week’s events and the decision wasn’t issued from the most corrupt and politicized DOJ in history. Perhaps if the special counsel appointed wasn’t the same person that has spent the last 25 years of his life providing cover up and failing to lift a finger while Hunter engaged in a multi-state multi-country crime spree it might carry more weight as well. After all, David Weiss is the same individual that tried to jam the most ridiculous ‘Get out of Jail Free’ card sweetheart plea deal in criminal justice history just last month before a Judge nixed it.

In actuality, this is a strategic move by AG Garland. Weiss, as history suggests, has been a steadfast ally to the administration, often wrapping up "investigations" against Hunter with a neat little bow, sidelining any significant charges. Sure, DOJ regulations hint at choosing someone 'outside of government', but who needs regulations when there are no consequences?

The masterstroke, though, lies elsewhere. Weiss was slated to testify before the House Oversight Committee—a committee that's been inching closer to unravelling the intertwined tales of Hunter and "RICO Joe." By anointing Weiss as 'special counsel,' Garland provides a convenient shield: Weiss can now dodge testifying under the pretense of an ongoing investigation. One can't help but predict this charade lasting conveniently past the elections whereupon if Joe or Newsom is re-elected, no doubt we’ll see a pardon of the prodigal son in short order.

Compare Weiss’ track record with that of Jack Smith. Smith was known as a hatchet man prior to his appointment. He never met a case that he didn’t indict hard and indict fast on as he was described to me by a prior US Attorney. Smith was handed the Trump case and now has two separate indictments and a trial date in one of them pre-election conveniently in what has to be one of the fastest indictments and trial dates in US history.

Weiss has been performing his Inspector Gadget routine for several years now despite an authenticated laptop full of concrete evidence and multiple photos of criminality since 2019. It’s almost like his sole purpose is to drag out the investigation and mitigate it for the weaponized DOJ/FBI doing Biden’s (Obama’s) dirty work.

The strategy appears strikingly familiar to the approach used during the early years of Trump's presidency. The appointment of a special counsel for the Hunter Biden investigation seems timely: GOP House investigators were inching closer to critical revelations. This move could allow key figures, be it witnesses, DOJ/FBI staff, or others, to sidestep questions, citing an "ongoing investigation."

This method notably hampered House investigations into RussiaGate, ensuring inertia until the Democrats regained the House in 2018, consequently halting the inquiries. Right after, Mueller's team expediently concluded their probe.

The GOP's potential counter? Possibly, withholding funding from the FBI & DOJ. Although a tumultuous route, it might be their only constitutional move. Prosecutions are off the table without control of the Presidency and DOJ, restricting their ability to compel testimonies or document submissions. An impeachment attempt against Biden is likely to stagnate in the Senate due to Democrats unoffically adopting the Sam Harris - “Even if there are dead kids in his basement, I’m voting Biden” approach

Let’s see if Weiss proves me wrong and finds his balls and integrity. The House should continue to call and compel him to testify. The loss of public faith and integrity in DOJ/FBI will not be repaired easily or quickly. After the last 7 years, it’s no surprise that Vivek, Trump, RFK and others think the only solution is to raze it to the ground and start over.

As Daryl Cooper recently pointed out:

“If there wasn’t a deep state before 2016, 7 years of full-spectrum political warfare against the MAGA insurgency has created one by now.

1) They framed Trump for collusion to spy on his campaign

2) When he won anyway, Comey’s FBI had an off the books investigation on their own CINC

3) When Trump caught on and fired Comey, they ensured the “investigation” continued under Mueller - the primary FBI Russia collusion investigator wrote that he didn’t want to be involved w/the Mueller team because “there’s no there there” but agreed to do it to help bring about impeachment (he actually wrote this)

4) Mueller figured out there was no collusion a month into his investigation, but dragged it out another year and a half to keep GOP investigators from accessing FBI/DOJ officials, and to try to bait Trump into doing something they could call obstruction of justice

5) The Democrats take back the House in 2018, shut down the investigations into spying

6) Mueller immediately wraps up his task now that there are no GOP investigations to worry about, and hands the ball to Congressional Democrats for phase two: impeachment

7) A CIA spy planted in the White House tries to leak the contents of a Presidential phone call to Adam Schiff, who then tells him to write it up as a “whistleblower” report for marketing reasons

8) During the phone call, Trump asked Zelensky to put his people in touch with the Attorney General’s office to compare notes on what we now know is overwhelming evidence of the Bidens engaging in bribery, money laundering, and racketeering

9) The Democrats impeach Trump for this, and limp-wristed, compromised Republicans went along w/the charade, just like they did w/RussiaGate long after it had been proven to be hoax

10) In 2020, the public health bureaucracy joined the fight against Trump, working with Democrats and the media to use COVID to benefit Democrats in the election

11) 2020 color revolution on the streets of America as they tried to bait Trump into calling out the military, so that the traitor Milley could refuse and action could be taken against Trump

12) The FBI works together w/Big Tech to engage in unprecedented censorship to protect Biden

13) Election fortified by “a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information”

14) Milley going behind the President’s back with Chinese military officials

15) Fed agents agitating for a riot on Jan 6

16) Domestic War in Terror

17) State & federal prosecutors using selective, novel interpretations of laws to threaten Trump w/jail while the DOJ brazenly covers up plain proof of straightforward Biden corruption

18) <—- you are here

19) Trump is still going to be the 2024 nominee, so it won’t stop

This has gone on nonstop for 7 years, and has involved a vast public-private partnership of corrupt vested interests that have gone so far and crossed so many lines that they cannot afford, at any cost, to lose power.”

Fitch Flags the US Debt Spiral

If I were asked by an economics professor or the WSJ to write about the Fitch downgrade of US debt, it might go something like this:

The Fitch downgrade of US debt is a significant economic event that reflects an altered perception of the United States' creditworthiness in the global financial arena. For decades, US Treasuries have been perceived as one of the safest assets, with many central banks and institutional investors holding them as a primary reserve asset. The downgrade, in essence, is a cautionary note from Fitch suggesting that the US's capacity to service its debt has become somewhat riskier than before.

Several factors might have precipitated this decision. One of the primary reasons is the consistent rise in the national debt, which has reached unprecedented levels. As of the last count, the US debt-to-GDP ratio has surged, raising eyebrows about the nation's long-term fiscal sustainability. Moreover, repeated political skirmishes over the debt ceiling and budgetary allocations may have contributed to the perception of an unstable fiscal policy environment.

Furthermore, while the US economy remains one of the world's most robust, the emergence of economic challenges, coupled with geopolitical tensions, could have led to a reevaluation of its growth prospects. Some analysts also point out that domestic policies and decisions, such as those on trade, can ripple out and influence the nation's overall economic health and, subsequently, its creditworthiness.

However, it's crucial to put the downgrade into perspective. Even with the downgrade, the US debt is still considered investment grade, which means that most institutional investors can still hold or buy these assets. Additionally, the other two major rating agencies, Moody's and Standard & Poor's, may still hold a different rating for US debt, which can balance out the impact of Fitch's decision.

The implications of the downgrade can be multifaceted. For one, it might lead to a slight increase in borrowing costs for the US government as the risk premium could inch up. Foreign governments and investors may also reevaluate their holdings and future allocations of US Treasuries. However, it's also worth noting that global economic dynamics often play a larger role in the demand for US Treasuries than credit ratings alone. In times of global economic uncertainty, for instance, the flight to safety often benefits US assets.

In conclusion, while the Fitch downgrade of US debt is undoubtedly noteworthy, it is essential to analyze it within the broader context of global economic and financial dynamics. The decision does sound an alarm, but it also offers an opportunity for policymakers to address underlying fiscal and economic concerns, ensuring that the US remains a leading economic power in the global arena.

That might impress in a college economics paper, but let's cut to the chase - we're on a one-way ticket to a 'debt spiral' from which there may be no escape.

Is it time to hit the panic button? In a way, both yes and no. Remember my fundamental mantra about trading and wealth: "He who panics first panics best." The game of financial musical chairs is nearing its end, and with the present lack of political motivation to genuinely confront the debt issue head-on - well, let's just say it's a political minefield.

Any Republican candidates brave (or foolish) enough to propose alterations to Medicare or Social Security are playing a dangerous game with their political careers. It's labeled the "3rd rail" for a reason - touch it, and watch your political ambitions vanish into thin air.

But here's the silver lining: all debt, much like goods and services, is relative. When you're selling an asset, you're simultaneously investing in another, be it dollars, yen, euros, gold, bitcoin, real estate, stocks, or even another country's debt. Selling U.S. Treasuries implies you're placing your bet elsewhere. And to be honest, looking at the global map of sovereign debt, the options aren't particularly enticing. Sure, countries like Germany, Australia, Singapore, and the Nordics sport that coveted AAA ranking. But does anyone truly envision Germany outpacing the U.S. a decade from now?

Everything is relative.

So here’s the real deal.

Here's the situation in plain terms:

Our spending is skyrocketing, and the policies of Obama, Trump, and now Biden have steered us towards a financial cliff. Current debt stands at a staggering $30 trillion, with unfunded future liabilities soaring to $150 trillion. Annually, we collect around $4 trillion in taxes. Yet, our expenditures outpace this by a whopping $2 trillion or more under the Biden administration. In the upcoming two quarters of 2023, the government needs to offload almost $2 trillion in bonds to bridge the deficit. That's nearly an alarming $4 trillion shortfall every year.

Now, let's add some more gloom to the mix. Until 2021, we had the luxury of near-zero interest rates, selling debt at about 2.5%. But now, thanks to the so-called 'Putin's inflation' (couldn't help but chuckle at that), these rates are soaring past 4%, aiming straight for 5% and beyond. This inflation in rates translates to a surge in our interest payments—going from $100 billion to over $200 billion. And remember, this is just the interest; the principal remains untouched. This spiraling interest payment will overshadow private investments, leaving a dwindling budget for other government programs.

As lenders perceive the inflation trend solidifying around 3-4%, they'll naturally expect higher returns for their investment in U.S. debt. Most would typically want a return that's at least 2% above the inflation rate. Given our reckless spending habits and political turmoil, I'd argue they'd want even more. This could push the U.S. Treasury bonds' interest rates to 6% or 7%. The ripple effect? Borrowing becomes pricier across the board, be it for businesses, individuals, or mortgages. With the U.S. 10-year bond potentially hitting 6%, mortgage rates could leap to around 10% within the next two years.

This is the essence of a debt spiral: increased borrowing leads to rising rates, which in turn amplifies our debt burden, hampering the economy and, by extension, our tax revenues.

Moreover, this dynamic signals muted returns from stock markets. Traditionally, stock markets have yielded returns of approximately 7% annually. But why would investors risk the tumultuous stock market for a 7% return when they can secure a 'risk-free' 7% from U.S. Treasuries guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States? Given the choice, many might shift their investments from stocks to bonds, leading to a decline in market indices.

So what can be done? From an individual perspective, you’ve got a couple of options. Gold is the ultimate Lindy asset. It’s legacy hard money that’s kept its value for thousands of years despite numerous fiat currencies and governments rising and falling (Dutch guilder, British pound). Bitcoin is the digital equivalent. It’s a newcomer, but has produced outsized returns over any significant period for the last 14 years. Both exist outside of state control and manipulation.

Real estate may be an option as well as people will always need a place to live and therefore rentals that provide a decent return over and above the cost of your mortgage, insurance and taxes are a decent option.

I’m also a big fan of energy commodities and stocks as the climate change hoax has produced underinvestment and lack of drilling in the space. That means oil should move markedly higher once the current economic weakness is done and help those companies that benefit from higher prices.

From a governance perspective, confronting the debt challenge seems clear-cut, but putting solutions into action is another matter entirely. Tackling such a massive problem is political dynamite, risky for any single party or leader to confront alone.

One potential remedy might be the formation of a bipartisan commission, which would provide political shelter for hard choices. Yet, the divisive climate of today's politics makes achieving bipartisan consensus difficult. Furthermore, the media's portrayal often doesn’t help, frequently painting one side (often the Republicans) as the villains, especially when topics like cutting social security emerge.

Moreover, as a nation, we seem to have moved away from making tough choices that demand shared sacrifice. The tendency has been to defer solutions until situations become dire. Waiting, however, exacerbates the problem, making it progressively harder to address. There is a tipping point beyond which resolution becomes nearly impossible. And while we haven't crossed that threshold, projections suggest we might within the next few years.

In light of these complexities, here are some takeaways for individuals:

1. **Diversify your assets**: Consider adding gold and bitcoin to your portfolio. These can act as a safety net against potential economic downturns or government incompetence and malice.

2. **Secure fixed mortgage rates**: If you're in a position to, lock them in now on any minor dip as I expect them to rise.

3. **Stay informed and be prepared**: There's the possibility of significant economic shifts, like a currency reset or persistent inflation. Being knowledgeable and ready can make all the difference.

No Amnesty

Here’s a brief Twitter rant from Dr. Stanton Hom below. It’s worth recalling that not a single person or firm has been held accountable for any aspect of the Covid iatrocide.

US ‘public health’ officials created the Covid virus, worked with Chinese officials to make it more deadly than would naturally occur in nature, and then denied and covered up the leak. Even worse, they responded to their own recklessness by pushing an untested, experimental ‘vaccine’ to enrich themselves and injure the population instead of making freely available existing therapeutics like Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine and other OTC supplements like Vitamin D, zinc and numerous others.

This was the only way to get a EUA approval. Hundreds of thousands died as a result and millions more died or were injured from their MRNA ‘cure’ (that curiously had killed every animal test subject for the previous 3 decades they tried to use this technology).

Now, the gaslighting and criminality continues as the FDA/CDC had the nerve to run an adset that claimed Ivermectin was always available for treatment. This, after running ads calling the former Nobel Prize winning antiviral therapeutic ‘horse paste’ and coordinating with the Mockingbird Media to publicly malign and mock anyone ‘dumb’ enough to use it to treat themselves. Various states also coordinated to prevent pharmacies from filling those prescriptions and punish doctors who dared to prescribe a Nobel prize winning therapeutic.

And here’s the Epoch Times on the government’s disgusting flip-flop on Ivermectin and subsequent gaslighting.

Lightning Round

Utah

So it appears the FBI executed Craig Ronbertson, an 80 year old, 300 pound man who walked with a cane and was caring for his disabled son because they didn’t like the mean Facebook posts he was making.

Make no mistake. This was an unnecessary show of force designed to intimidate and send a message to other critics of the Administration and the power of the Federal government, similar to Ruby Ridge and Waco.

News articles were quick to blindly cite his ‘threats’ to assassinate the President on his Facebook page which was conveniently taken down. Before it was erased however, it was leaked and saved and it was clear that most of the threats were merely overheated, hyperbolic criticism and nothing that amounted to an actual, direct threat.

Remember that the FBI never bothered to solve the J5 pipe bombs case or most of the damage and violence that was done during the BLM riots of 2020. But an old man that could have been easily arrested or questioned when he left his house instead was executed in the middle of the night by over a dozen agents in full military gear.

Let’s not forget. Mickey Rourke, Larry Wilmore, George Lopez, Johnny Depp, Marilyn Manson, Rosie O Donnell, Madonna, Robert Di Niro, Snoop Dog and Kathy Griffin all were people who made violent threats against Trump. How many of them did the FBI shoot? Do I think they were serious and anything more than idiotic celebrities running their mouths? Of course not. It likely was the same for Craig Robertson. Either way, a simple conversation could have cleared all that up without sending in an execution squad. But then again, that was the whole point.

Maui on Fire

Tragedy struck Maui this week as a wildfire ripped through the town of Lahaina…killing 57 and destroying numerous houses and boats.

I can barely read Bloomberg, Business Insider and other formerly respectable publications that either independently or at the behest of their CIA masters routinely attribute ‘Climate Change’ to every man made or accidental calamity. Between changing how weather temperatures are reported, or placing the sensors on airport asphalt to get the hottest possible temperature, it’s clear there is a worldwide effort to blame all weather and natural disasters on that faceless culprit of Climate Change, with the end goal of controlling and limiting human activity (just for the Poors, not for the elites making the rules and writing the stories). Unless Joe Dirt instantly stops driving his combustible engine car and stops eating meat, we can expect people, houses and landscapes to spontaneously combust everywhere throughout the globe by the year ~~2080~~ 2024.

As I’ve written previously, there is almost no scenario where the evidence is compelling that Climate Change is caused by man made carbon, or where it can be mitigated without throwing us in a worldwide Depression that will make the 1930s look like a Hampton’s White Party in comparison. Solar and wind make up approx. 3% of energy needs. The majority of electric vehicles get their power from non-renewable sources and take massive amounts of fossil fuels to mine for the rare earths and other materials needed to assemble them.

That’s just the pesky reality, but it doesn’t stop our hearts from going out to the residents of Maui who are hurting right now. Let’s just be cautious about the government using yet another tragedy to promote its Climate Change Agenda.

While the internet is abuzz with HAARP, DEW and other semi-outlandish theories, the pictures of the damage do raise some interesting questions. How exactly can nearly every house be vaporized, cars melted on the streets and boats on water be destroyed while numerous trees are left standing? That one’s got me scratching my head but since I lack the information or patience to delve in, we’ll just leave the question out there. Maybe they were made of the same material as the 9/11 hijackers passports.

Immigration for Thee, Not for Me

In more just desserts, Massachusetts and New York City took to the air to beg for help with the latest wave of illegal immigrants and refugees seeking asylum. We’ll recall how both Boston and NYC (amongst others) defiantly declared themselves ‘Sanctuary Cities’ when Trump was President for his outlandish decision to dare question the open border on our Southern Front and his intent to build a wall to regulate immigration.

When it was Texas, Arizona and other border states bearing all of the human and financial costs of unchecked immigration, the holier than thou politicians up north were boldly ridiculing the President and their Southern neighbors for their immorality and selfishness. Fast forward a few years, and with Governors Abbott and DeSantis busing a handful of illegals up North, suddenly these states are butting heads with the Biden Administration that intentionally orchestrated this whole invasion and begging for Federal hands and dollars to help them deal with it.

Note that while the border states have borne the burden of millions of unchecked flow across the Southern Border, NYC has seen approximately 30,000 people come to town and now there’s tent cities on 42nd Street and migrants taking over hotels. Meanwhile, Massachusetts has a much smaller number and the Mayor is asking local residents to do their part and ‘Host an Immigrant’ in their house. This reminds me of the deliciously ironic video of yesteryear where liberals carrying “Refugees Welcome” signs are asked to actually live up to their words and help house some of these refugees. Hilarity ensues.

Quote of the Day: "Most importantly, if you have an extra room or suite in your home, please consider hosting a family. Housing and shelter is our most pressing need.”

-Massachusetts Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll

Clips of ‘Pro-Refugee’ Liberals asked to shelter a refugee into their home.

Southern States should continue to bus these ‘refugees’ en masse to NY, SF, LA, Boston, Chicago and other blue cities, Perhaps when the Upper East Side liberals see the actual effects on their own lives, they’ll change their opinion. I’m not holding my breath, but it is glorious to see the infighting and hypocrisy.

Remember Thou Art Mortal

While it would seem the below would be on nearly every television channel, paper and other media just as the Covid ‘Death Counts’ were and discussed 24/7 during Trump’s Presidency, remarkably nary a word is seen anywhere.

CDC data now shows excess mortality for Ages 0–24 is at 44.8%. Forty five percent!

Babies, toddlers, teenagers, young adults—are dying 45% above the historical & projected levels.

We’ll let the chart stand alone and the obvious timing for when these excess deaths began exploding. Seems it was about the same exact time something else started being released to the public and mandated. #NoAmnesty

Digital Services Act

The DSA - Where anything the elite don’t agree with will be deemed “hateful” and “disinformation”.

On August 25, 2023, companies will have to be compliant with the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA) which requires Very Large Online Platforms to quickly remove posts of "illegal content, hate speech, disinformation" from their platforms or pay staggering fines. Pay attention and let your Congressmen know you’re adamantly against this naked power grab to exert authoritarian control over speech.

Here’s Adam Townsend’s comprehensive take on it all complete with the actual contents of the bill.

Wray the Perjurer

Subpoenaed document reveals that the FBI Richmond Field Office coordinated with MULTIPLE field offices across the country to produce a memo targeting traditional Catholics as domestic terrorists Wray previously said the actions were limited to “a single field office.”

Nothing to see here. Just the head of the FBI committing perjury YET AGAIN, and the highest law enforcement office in the land targeting Christians as domestic terrorists. Par for the course in our insane clown world.

Michigan Is Not an Outlier

Per Rogan O’Handley:

BREAKING: Michigan AG confirms the 8,000-10,000 ballot registrations turned into the Muskegon city clerk by a Democrat operative were *all* fraudulent

They kept this a secret for 3 years but

@gatewaypundit

exposed it

Why has nobody gone to jail for this?

Do people really think this was the only place this happened?

If they would dump 10,000 ballot registrations in Muskegon, a town of 38,000 people, just imagine how many they dumped in Detroit, Lansing, and other Michigan cities

Could be hundreds of thousands! And that’s just Michigan!

GBI Strategies, the Leftist group who paid the mules to file fraudulent ballot registrations, operated in *20 states* during the 2020 election and took over $11M from pro-Biden PACs and paid its mules $15/hr

$11M can buy you a lot of mules.

Democrat operatives caught in October 2020 turning in up to 10,000 fraudulent voter registrations *per day*, many with same handwriting & fake addresses

Police investigated (report attached) and found guns w/silencers, burner phones, rental cars, and warehouses where ballots & registrations stored all funded by Democrat strategy firm

Ballots would be mailed to fake addresses, intercepted, and put in dropboxes by mules

Video from Detroit vote count center shows 3AM drop of estimated 100,000+ ballots w/out GOP supervisors by *rental car* from out of state

Biden got unexplained vote spike a few hours later and stole MI from Trump

Michigan AG & FBI brought in to investigate & they shut it down -

@gatewaypundit

Twitter account banned for posting video of ballot drops

Instead AG Nessel charged Michigan electors for sending alternate ballots to DC

Huge props to @gatewaypundit for putting together all these pieces

Michigan was RIGGED.

Video and Police Report of the Ballot Dump and Alleged Illegal Activity.

Video of Witness Testifying the Ballots were in Numerical Order, a statistical impossibility.

Flashback to Patrick Byrne’s expose in Sovereign Sunday.

Remember, “Trump won the Michigan vote in 2016 by 15,000 votes but suspiciously lost to Joe Biden by 150,000 votes four years later, despite increasing his vote share in neighboring Ohio. Michigan State Senator Ruth Johnson, who is a former Secretary of State, told the Gateway Pundit: “My estimate is over 800,000 ballot applications were sent to non-qualified voters in Michigan, including many individuals who moved or died, and even some individuals who were underage or non-citizens. Many were sent to people who had moved out of state.” These ballot applications, if turned back in, would cause a live ballot to then be sent to that address by the clerk. Both the ballot applications and the live ballots were not seriously checked for a ‘signature match’ because Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson purposefully advised clerks to illegally assume and presume the signatures were a match.

My intention isn't to reopen discussions about the 2020 Election; that chapter is closed. Instead, the aim is to shed light on the narratives surrounding it. When certain voices claim the election was devoid of fraud, or suggest that Trump should face life in prison for raising doubts about its results, or assert the impeccable security of our electoral system, one should ponder on the authenticity of these statements. Observe closely who advocates these views, and note they are lying to you while simultaneously laughing at you.

Its also worth considering that the plethora of evidence that there was fraud in the 2020 election is not only exculpatory evidence in Jack Smith’s DC case, but evidence that we’ve lost complete control of our government and its agencies to a hostile occupying power. Until that cancer is rooted out and destroyed, the basis for democracy and our fragile Republic will continue to be eroded.

Here’s a few more curiosities courtesy of JD Sharp. Again, not dispositive, just overwhelming statistical anomalies that almost certainly could and would not exist in a legitimate, fraud free election:

Joe Biden did not win the 2020 Presidential election and received nowhere near 81 million legitimate votes.

Here's why:

Hillary Clinton had more black voters in every major city besides Philly, ATL, Detroit, and Milwaukee

Barack Obama won 400 more counties but ended up with 9 million less votes

Trump won 18 bellwether counties (these have historically indicated the President)

Republicans won every single close house race

Biden won 17% of counties

Trump won Ohio, Florida and Iowa

3x as many mail in ballots were cast in 2020 compared to 2016 but the rejection rate went down 40%

The rejection rate on mail in ballots in Georgia was 17x lower on ballots in 2020 than 2016

Democrats unconstitutionally changed mail in voting laws using the executive branch and used the pandemic as an excuse

Republican ballot watchers in Fulton County GA were kicked out at 8 PM on election night while Democrats stayed until 1AM counting votes and pulled out brief cases full of ballots on camera

Counties in Michigan had more votes than registered voters

Votes all over the country were "adjudicated" faster than humanly possible

Counties in GA Hillary won by 5% in 2016 were won by Biden by 50% in 2020 with significantly more voter output

300k completed ballots were driven to PA from NY by a USPS driver

Josh Shapiro claiming Trump had "no chance to win PA" the night before the election despite being the PA AG and actively involved in the election

100k+ confirmed ballots with no chain of custody in Arizona

Biden made up over 700k votes in PA on mail-in ballots alone that took 2 weeks to count after election day

Wisconsin Supreme Court declared their election to be unconstitutional

The odds of a Trump win were -800 at 10 PM on election night 2020 with major Sportsbooks

Recounts were done where bad votes are just recounted not thrown out instead of forensic audits. Democrats refused forensic audits.

Democrats orchestrated the violence on January 6th with the help of the FBI to shut down all questions around an election they knew was stolen because forensic audits were going to start taking place.

The Facebook Files

Looking beyond the glossy veneer of the FBI's longstanding reputation as a premier law enforcement agency, it's hard not to notice its increasing politicization and questionable practices.

The Twitter Files unveiled the extent of the FBI's collaboration with former Twitter Glavlits, seemingly working in tandem to curtail the First Amendment rights of American citizens. In this alliance, both Twitter and the FBI seemed to sideline some of America's most eminent doctors and scientists. These professionals had genuine apprehensions about the origins of Covid, the potential for effective treatments that could have been life-saving on a global scale, and the controversially rushed MRNA 'vaccine'. This so-called 'vaccine' not only amplified the wealth of certain influential figures by hundreds of billions but also potentially jeopardized the immunity of a vast portion of our populace.

Now, there's a fresh controversy brewing daily. Today's highlight? The FBI's blatant dishonesty regarding its attempts to influence Facebook, pushing it to mimic the censorship actions Twitter took. Once again, this is an outrageous violation of the sacred First Amendment rights of Americans.

Newly subpoenaed internal notes of meetings between Facebook executives and Biden Admin officials reveal more about the lengths the Biden White House wanted to go to control true speech on Facebook.Here’s Jim Jordan breaking it down:

THE FACEBOOK FILES PART 3.

THE FACEBOOK FILES PART 4.

And that federal case against the Biden Administration? That’s still ongoing.

On July 4, a federal court granted an injunction prohibiting the Biden Administration from continuing to censor Americans.

That injunction would stop the government from censoring Americans.

Biden’s DOJ is APPEALING the decision.

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals will hear oral argument this Thursday. The freedom of speech is at stake.

******************

The Covid misdirection was just one of many highly unconstitutional and devastating partisan moves by the weaponized agency.

In 2019, before the election, the FBI went to great lengths to discredit and censor the Hunter Biden “Laptop from Hell” story as we all know and didn’t raise a single voice of objection to the criminal ‘Letter from 51 Intelligence Agents’ falsely claiming the laptop story was Russian disinformation despite knowing its authenticity.

Given the trajectory, one can't help but wonder about the remnants of the FBI's once-stellar reputation by the end of this saga. As pointed out earlier, figures like Vivek, Trump, and RFK Jr. advocate for a complete overhaul of the institution. If this trend persists, starting from scratch might indeed be the only viable solution.
