1) Emissary Steve Witkoff’s positive perspectives on Qatar were/are actually shocking to me. Remember, CTH is banned from view in Qatar, and even the U.S. military there cannot access CTH in that duty station.

Qatar is NOT a good actor in the Mideast conflict. On this material supposition and presentation, I comprehensively disagree with Witkoff and would love to debate this matter with him.

I can only conclude there is some financial relationship between Witkoff and the Qataris that lies behind his views.

Qatar provided safe haven for the 5 key Muslim Brotherhood agitators who were exiled from Egypt, and Qatar was factually the GCC nation that had to be confronted for their support of Islamic extremism by Egypt, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and UAE.

Why Witkoff puts such a positive spin on Qatar, and why Tucker Carlson seemingly affirms and goes along with it is quite odd, given the nature of the discussion.

Qatar funds Al Jazeera, the major propaganda wing of the Islamic extremist coalition supported by the Muslim Brotherhood.

Qatar funds the Brookings Institute, which also then funds the operational efforts of all the Lawfare and CIA agencies.

Qatar is factually in a very deep relationship with the CIA. VERY DEEP.

Qatar was also the mechanism used by Clinton/Panetta to send Surface to Air missiles into Libya, which ultimately resulted in the death of Ambassador Chris Stephens during a covert operation to retrieve them.

All of these known facts, put great pause on the review of Steve Witkoff, who -amid other issues- appears to be doing an exceptional job on the Ukraine-Russia conflict. We should watch this carefully with eyes wide open.

2) Qatar and Witkoff:

“Witkoff bought the hotel in 2013 for $654 million with a plan to convert the bulk of the building’s 600 or so rooms into high-end condos. But by 2016 he and his partners — Harry Macklowe, Howard Lorber’s New Valley and Highgate Holdings — had decided the Billionaires’ Row market had become oversaturated.

They put the conversion on hold.

A few months later, Chinese developer Greenland Group bought a 41 percent stake in the project from Kuwait Strategic Investors. The project seemed to be back on track.

But shortly after the deal closed, the Justice Department filed a lawsuit looking to seize the hotel as part of its investigation into the Malaysian businessman Jho Low, who was accused of stealing $4 billion from a development fund in his home country.

"Witkoff put the property up for sale in 2017.” “Qataris shell out $623M for storied Park Lane Hotel –
Witkoff-led group bought property decade ago eyeing condo conversion” [Aug 28, 2023]

“The building’s status was in limbo for almost six years due to the owners’ unsuccessful $1bn auction attempt in 2017.”

“Financier Jho Low, also known as Low Taek Jho, was a member of the group that owned the hotel.

In 2022, Low was convicted in the US of corruption charges related to embezzling billions of dollars from the Malaysian investment fund.

The US Justice Department had at first wanted to confiscate the hotel as part of its probe against Low.

But the department later reached a deal with the owners, led by developer Steven Witkoff, for the divestment of the property instead. It holds Low’s portion of the proceeds in escrow.

The building’s status was in limbo for almost six years due to the owners’ unsuccessful $1bn auction attempt in 2017.

According to a Bloomberg report, real estate and management company Witkoff Group and the Qatar Investment Authority have not responded to requests for comment regarding the sale, which was first reported by PinusCo.”

3) President Trump: “The nation of Qatar has historically been a funder of terrorism at a very high level”.

President Trump: “I decided, along with secretary of state Rex Tillerson, our great generals and military people, the time had come to call on Qatar to end its funding, they have to end that funding and its extremist ideology.”

President Trump said he helped those countries make the decision to break off relations with Qatar during his trip to Saudi Arabia [last month]. “Nations came together and spoke to me about confronting Qatar over its behaviors,” he said.

4) Qatar is sanctioned: On June 5, 2017, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt, and Bahrain fired the first shot of the Gulf Crisis (2017-21). Self-proclaimed as the ‘Anti-Terror Quartet,’ they announced the severance of diplomatic ties with Qatar, accusing it of sponsoring terrorism across the Middle East and North Africa

In this context, the Quartet subjected the removal of sanctions to compliance with a list of demands, urging Qatar to hand over to them individuals they designated as terrorists, shut down Al Jazeera, and agree to regular external audits on state finances, among other things.

Rex Tillerson in July 2017 attempts to undo these sanctions, aligned with Defense Secretary James Mattis have emphasized the importance of the US partnership with Qatar despite President Trump’s earlier clear statements praising the move by Gulf nations to sever diplomatic relations with Qatar.

7) We accept that Joe Biden was not cognitively organizing the events that surrounded his administration.

The public now understand the relationship between the CIA/USAID.

8) Notice how in this outline, all roads -YET AGAIN- lead to Langley, even when those roads are traveled by the "good guys," or what Q-adherents would call "white hats" (there are none).

Qatar is a major CIA partner. This is why Qatar and USAID essentially fund identical enterprises within the USA, including Brookings Institute.

Americans wonder why President Vladimir Putin doesn't trust any U.S. administration.

Factually, when it comes to money intersecting USA politics, Putin knows exactly what outcomes are likely.

From the CIA perspective: Democrats want money to achieve power. Republicans want power to achieve money.

This is how the CIA operates domestically to manipulate both wings of the UniParty apparatus so they can remain elevated.

The Russian Federation does not view America or Americans as their enemy. The Russian Federation views the CIA as their enemy. There is a big difference.

1) While repeating his claim that Canada can easily replace their trade relationship with the USA by seeking larger trade relationship with other countries, specifically the EU, current interim Prime Minister Mark Carney repeats that no contact will be attempted or accepted by the Canadian government until President Donald Trump shows him respect.

This doesn't portend favorably for U.S-Canada relations; which, to be fair, they would argue have been destroyed by President Donald Trump questioning their sovereignty. 

However, here's the kicker, what Canadians don't seem to realize is that questioning their sovereignty is simply a strategy by President Trump to eliminate the one-sided trade relationship with Canada.

It is funny to me that Canada just can't figure this out.
2) As long as Canada refuses to engage with President Trump due to a perceived lack of respect, President Donald Trump will continue to enhance his disrespect of Canada, because the absence of engagement assists his 'total trade reset' objective. 

President Trump wants to show, perhaps prove to the Canadian people, how dependent they are on their USA relationship; vis-a-vis they are already not a sovereign, economically independent nation.
3) Somewhere around 80% of Canadians have no concept of how their economy is functioning.

Most Canadians seem to think they have some form of capitalistic system in operation and tweeking the knobs will fix things; it won’t.

So, from an American political perspective, specifically from the perspective of President Trump - as noted in all of his repeated remarks about the upcoming Canadian election, having Mark Carney carry out his policies and watching the system therein collapse, might break the borg-mindset. 

Sure, it will be massively painful for Canadians when their currency heads toward 0.25¢ to the US dollar.  However, that currency collapse will more than eliminate any Trump tariff impact.

Eat your broccoli. FAFO. You pick the slogan.

She, who has done more damage than any other single operative within the system, remains conspicuously absent.....

The concentric circles around President Trump protecting her? 🤔
She's active..... All indications are she's active. Image
To give you an idea of her scope of influence as a key functionary, consider what we can document.

♦ McCord submitted the fraudulent FISA application to spy on Trump campaign.

♦ McCord created the “Logan Act” claim used against Michael Flynn and then went with Sally Yates to confront the White House.

♦ McCord then left the DOJ and went to work for Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler on Impeachment Committee.

♦ McCord organized the CIA rule changes with Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson.

♦ McCord led and organized the impeachment effort, in the background, using the evidence she helped create.

♦ McCord joined the FISA Court to protect against DOJ IG Michael Horowitz's newly gained NSD oversight and FISA review.

♦ McCord joined the J6 Committee helping to create all the lawfare angles they deployed.

♦ McCord then coordinated with DA Fani Willis in Georgia.

♦ McCord was working in the background with Special Counsel Jack Smith to prosecute Trump.

♦ McCord is on record advocating for new coordinated Lawfare attacks against Donald Trump in term #2

♦ McCord testified against AG nominee Pam Bondi, saying Bondi must recuse herself from investigating McCord and her efforts on the J6 committee.

♦ Joe Biden appears to have presumptively pardoned Mary McCord.

None of that touches on her husband, Sheldon Snook who worked at the top of the SCOTUS structure in the office of Chief Justice Roberts. Meanwhile, her efforts using Eisen and Weissmann continue.

All indications lean toward her still being active

1.) Notice how the FBI reviewed the President's cell phone data, during their process to request search warrants to review the President's cell phone data. This is ex post facto and against the law.
2.) This brings us back to the central point I have been making for years.

The modern FBI is the police agency of a weaponized U.S government, with a direct and purposeful mandate to keep the American people under control through strict surveillance and a violent police state.
3.) Every member of the FBI is a participant in the weaponization of power and government. The members are jackboots recruited from ideological college campuses for exactly the purpose of supporting a Stasi-like police state.

Through the past several years, we have discovered how the FBI worked inside Twitter, Facebook and social media to control information, remove content and manipulate opinion on behalf of the U.S. government – all activity political.

We have also learned the FBI took active measures to suppress information about the Hunter Biden laptop and control any negative consequences for the Biden regime – again, political.  These are not disputed realities.

The U.S. Dept of Justice and FBI are now political institutions that have abandoned their originating mission in order to become the domestic equivalent of the Soviet-era FSB. Their joint targeting mechanisms have been redesigned to support the interests of corrupt DC politicians, specifically the interests of Democrats.

This parseltongue cracks me up. However, it actually ends up playing well for President Trump.

Notice how the media and global IC will only use the word "intelligence" when saying the U.S. is cutting off Ukraine from "intelligence sharing."

You know what that "intelligence sharing" consists of? That's the targeting system being used in Ukraine.

You know why the media and global IC cannot say "targeting system"? .... Because if they did, they would be admitting the USA has been the military force shooting the drones and missiles against Russia.

Parseltongue is needed. lol

Trump turned off the targeting system.Image
2. Read this report from Sky News carefully:

3. “Asked whether it is correct that the US has stopped sharing intelligence, the source said: “Unfortunately, yes, but not completely. It is selective. On the possibility of damage on the territory of the Russian Federation”.

1) If you are concerned about "privacy" in government, consider this....

Office of Inspector General Michael Horowitz testified April 27, 2023, that more than 3.4 million search queries into the NSA database took place between Dec. 1st, 2020 and Nov. 30th, 2021, by government officials and/or contractors working on behalf of the federal government.
2) Approximately 30% of those 3.4 million search queries were outside the rules and regulations that govern warrantless searches, what the politically correct government calls “non-compliant searches.”  That means more than 1 million searches of private documents and communication of Americans were illegal and outside the rules.
3) Additionally, IG Horowitz also stated that somewhere north of 10,000 federal employees have access to conduct these searches of the NSA database; a database which contains the electronic data of every single American, including emails, text messages, social media posts, instant messages, direct messages, phone calls, geolocation identifiers, purchases by electronic funds, banking records and any keystroke any American person puts into any electronic device for any reason.

1. Do you really want to see the JFK, RFK and MLK assassination files?

Here's the direct way to get them using the plenary power of the Executive in combination with the Unitary application of govt recently affirmed by SCOTUS.

WARNING: This is extremely NON-Traditional. Image
2. Understanding the ordinary process of declassifying documents is a request and authorization to the executive officers and stakeholders of classified information; and understanding the current authorization is not ordinary because the intelligence community stakeholders are averse to the interests of the office of the president; here is a process to cut through the chaff and countermeasures.

The background here is that any unilateral declassification request, demand or authorization by President Trump puts him opposition to a variety of corrupt interests.

As a direct result the executive office of the president will be facing legal action, likely from unified democrats and republicans in the legislative branch.  With that accepted, here is the most strategic approach.
3. President Trump informs the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, that he wishes to have a full intelligence briefing on the following documents (more may be added), all documents are to be presented without a single redaction:

The full and complete records relating to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

The full and complete records relating to the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The President selects a date for this briefing and through direct orders to his chief of staff, Susie Wiles and National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz, informs the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, to advise and coordinate with all executive branch intelligence officials, who were/are stakeholders in the compartmented intelligence products as described above, of their request be present for the briefing.

The White House counsel’s office is not to be informed of the intent or purpose of the meeting; however, the Presidents’ White House counsel is requested to attend. Further, all of the compartmented intelligence is to be collectively assembled by the ODNI (Gabbard) into one volume of a singular Presidential Daily Briefing (PDB) although each set might be file boxes.  There are to be eighteen printed copies of the PDB material assembled and secured for the briefing, post haste.

Additionally, the office of the president personally informs the ODNI (Gabbard) of the executives’ request to invite for the briefing each member of the legislative branch Intelligence Community oversight known as the Gang-of-Eight.Image
