1) You guys know the background.  You know the context. You know the history.  You know all the nuances and Machiavellian manipulations that have brought us to this very specific moment. 2) Now, you are President Donald Trump and you are in a conversation with Vladimir Putin; a geopolitical ‘adversary’ whose current status was created by the same intelligence system operators that created your defined ‘enemy’ status within your own country.  You and Putin were both targeted by the same intelligence system, the CIA.

1.) As DNI Mrs Tulsi Gabbard has:

♦ chased down intelligence community leakers,
♦ released the JFK files,
♦ released Joe Biden’s domestic terrorism surveillance plan,
♦ intercepted an NIC plot to impeach President Trump (confirmed by Rubio),
♦ taken control of the Presidential Daily Briefing,
♦ and more recently begun to confront the weaponized corruption within the IC Inspector General organization.

These are actions, not words, and those actions speak boldly.  Suffice to say, her effectiveness has placed a target on her back. 2) Chased down intel community leakers.

1. At sporadic times of inconsequential normalcy, on the streets of Russia you will see two distinct types of people asked for identification, Asians and middle eastern males. When asked why, the average, ordinary grey-person in Russia going about their business, ambivalently has no idea.

Russia is a massive country.

To the southeast they are bordered by China, Mongolia and Asia, they even have a small border with North Korea. To the southwest they have the “stans,” most notably Kazakhstan; this region is the source of most domestic terrorists who attack inside Russia. To the West they have Ukraine and the EU nations.

From the standpoint of Russia, they have Asians on their East, Turks/Arabs on their South and EU supported Nazis on their Western flank.

Keep in mind, despite the breakup of the Soviet Union the muscle memory from World War II is still very much a part of their social compact. 2. Consider Arlington Cemetary for scale. If you were to build an Arlington type cemetery for all the Russians killed in World War II, the 27 million gravesites would envelop a landmass bigger than Washington DC. These realities underpin Russian perspectives.

Russia is drawn into an alignment with China not by desire, but rather by necessity.  Most ordinary Russians do not like China, and they would prefer not to purchase Chinese industrial or manufactured goods.  Russian President Vladimir Putin is well aware of this, and I believe U.S. President Donald Trump is aware also.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said publicly it should be U.S. policy to support separating the two biggest nuclear powers, China and Russia as a matter of strategic U.S. interest.  President Trump said, “I’m going to have to un-unite them, and I think I can do that, too,” shortly before his election in November. “I have to un-unite them.”

In a very downplayed statement earlier this year generally hidden/ignored by media, the former Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and current Secretary of State -also National Security Advisor- Marco Rubio, said “Ukraine was a proxy war for the United States against Russia.”  Despite the U.S. media intentionally hiding the statement, Moscow immediately noticed and affirmed the accuracy.

From the New York trade court ruling:

"...[...] in 1962, Congress delegated to the President the power to take action to adjust imports when the Secretary of Commerce finds that an “article is being imported into the United States in such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security.” Trade Expansion Act of 1962, Pub. L. No. 87-794, § 232(b), 76 Stat. 872, 877 (codified as amended at 19 U.S.C. § 1862(c)(1)(A)). This delegation is conditioned upon an investigation and findings by the Secretary of Commerce, and agreement by the President. See id. Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, requires that the U.S. Trade Representative (“USTR”) take action, which may include imposing tariffs, where “the rights of the United States under any trade agreement are being denied” or “an act, policy, or practice of a foreign country” is “unjustifiable and burdens or restricts United States commerce.” 19 U.S.C. § 2411(a)(1)(A)–(B). The USTR may impose duties also where the USTR determines that “an act, policy, or practice of a foreign country is unreasonable or discriminatory and burdens or restricts United States commerce.” Id. § 2411(b)(1). This power is conditioned on extensive procedural requirements including an investigation that culminates in an affirmative finding that another country imposed unfair trade barriers under § 2411(a)(1)(A) or (B) or § 2411(b), and a public notice and comment period. See id. § 2414(b)."...

This is one reason why the ruling can be overturned. The Sec 301/302 investigation was completed by the USTR, with extensive citation.

NY Court citation:

cit.uscourts.gov/sites/cit/file…

USTR Citation 400 pages:

ustr.gov/sites/default/… The court literally ignored the USTR investigation, AND the Dept of Commerce review and investigation of the same based on the USTR published findings.

This ruling will not pass inspection by a higher court, and as to the motive of the 3-judge panel.... follow the $$$, there are trillions at stake.

This is a ruling to the benefit of the multinationals.

1. The original agreement between Clinton and Obama going back to 2008 was for Obama to take the nomination, the presidency and then eventually support Hillary Clinton’s 2016 election bid. 

Obama would be President. Obama would appoint Clinton to Secretary of State, Hillary would then use her office to build wealth for herself and her family, and then HRC would exit the Dept of State to begin her presidential run.

John Podesta would enter the Obama administration as Hillary left in 2013.  Podesta would look out for Hillary’s interests from his position inside the Obama White House.  The Clintons and Obamas never fully trusted each other. 

Barack Obama would put all the mechanisms into place that would transition his administration into Hillary Clintons’.  That was always the plan running in the background. 2. In 2015 Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama had a check-in meeting; just touching base to firm up the goals and objectives as Hillary began her campaign launch.  Podesta left the White House to take up position inside the campaign, and Team Obama would maintain Clinton’s interests as planned without an insider.

All of President Obama’s appointments in after 2015, were essentially through the prism of assisting Hillary Clinton to win in 2016.  Attorney General Loretta Lynch (tarmac meeting), Deputy AG Sally Yates, Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe and FBI Director James Comey were all part of that.

This is a key point missed by many. In the last two years of Obama, the cabinet and top-tier members of the administration would align their institutional interests to that of Hillary Clinton.

Technically Hillary had eyes and ears all over the White House at the time, and with Hillary Clinton being a foregone conclusion per the expectations of Washington DC, everyone would fall in line during the transition from Obama to Clinton. 

Again, this was the general plan.  Obama would show up in 2016 to campaign for Hillary and all would be seamless.

1. OK lawyers, hear me out on my plan to address lower court 'nationwide injunctions' (or TROs) and tell me the flaw.

How about, before any lower court can issue a "nationwide" injunction, they have to get permission or approval from the SCOTUS Justice that presides over that region? 2. That singular justice decision (if approved) is then scheduled for a full SCOTUS review every-other-Friday.

[They can work out the communication structure by themselves, even using skype or similar]

Any nationwide injunction issued -hopefully fewer- would be approved by a SCOTUS justice, and then eventually reviewed by the full court.

1. Something really weird is going on here....

It didn't just surface with this oddity.

FOR THE RECORD: I have two decades of documented direct connection between Qatar and the CIA.

https://twitter.com/EDSecMcMahon/status/1917638221510402112

2. Here is another QATAR example, of just brutally odd statements that run counter to reality. This time by Steve Witkoff.

theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/03/2…

1. The absolute key to the first quarter GDP result is to remember that ‘imports‘ are a deduction in the economic equation of Gross Domestic Product.  The GDP is the valuation of all goods and services produced in the USA *minus* the value of imports.

cc: The insufferable @RandPaul

bea.gov/news/2025/gros… 2. The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) releases the results of the first quarter GDP.  The overall economic growth seems low at 0.3% until you look at how U.S. companies responded in February and March to the tariff announcement.

Companies proactively purchased massive amounts of products in advance of the tariffs leading to an overall increase in imports of 41.3%.  Which results in a 5.3% deduction to GDP.  Every dollar of those imports is a deduction to the GDP equation, giving the false appearance of lower domestic production.

1. I'm getting hit with a lot of newly awakened people wondering about AG Pam Bondi; wondering if the stuff from her old days surfacing is accurate.

I will try to encapsulate and provide receipts. The issues with Pam Bondi are much more serious than most understand.

Pam Bondi was the Florida Attorney General during the incident when George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin.

“When I worked with Governor Scott to appoint State Attorney Angela Corey to the case involving Trayvon Martin, I did so with the full confidence that a swift and thorough investigation would be conducted." 2. On the evening of February 26, 2012, in Sanford Florida, George Zimmerman fired one shot into the heart of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, fatally killing him.

The Sanford Police lead investigator into the shooting was Chris Serino; the Police Chief was Bill Lee, and the local prosecutor was Norm Wolfinger.

Detective Chris Serino questioned and investigated George Zimmerman, who used a traditional “self-defense” justification for the shooting.  Eventually the case went to trial and the same “self-defense” justification was used in court.  Despite what you might have heard in the media, it was never a “stand your ground” defense.  It simply was not needed.

In addition to questioning Zimmerman, Serino documented two eye-witnesses to the shooting.  One woman in an apartment who saw the initial encounter between Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman, and another eye-witness, a man in an adjacent apartment who saw and partially recorded, the entire confrontation as it unfolded on the pathway approximately 20 feet from him.

The second witness called 911 and described in real time what he was seeing.  Trayvon was straddling George in an “MMA style” position and slamming Zimmerman’s head into the sidewalk.  During the 911 recording you can hear Zimmerman calling out, “help me; somebody help me.” [NOTE: Both of those witnesses as well as the recording were later buried but came out at trial.]

After a thorough investigation, all of the statements by George Zimmerman were corroborated by the eye-witnesses, the forensic evidence, the audio recording, and all the physical evidence found at the scene.  Detective Chris Serino gave his investigative report to Police Chief Lee along with the recommendation that Zimmerman’s claim of self-defense was valid and justified.  Serino and Lee then consulted with prosecutor Norm Wolfinger who reviewed the evidence and agreed.

1. OK you want to go there? I'm game.

Bongino said "Mistakes were made." You concur. So, let's look at these FBI "mistakes."

Start with this one. This was an FBI mistake?

https://twitter.com/patriot_savvy/status/1912194597050069082

2. 40 FBI agents investigated Trump for two years, knowing there was nothing to investigate.

"mistakes were made?"

1) **ahem** Also, every argument for retention of 702 is a false premise. Americans either have a 4th Amendment, or we do not. It really is that simple.

Want to conduct electronic surveillance on an American; want to read their "private papers," GET A WARRANT!

This is my hill! 2) Why is this my hill?

Because every downstream action for the surveillance state is predicated on the legal arguments behind FISA 702.

Real ID, facial recognition surveillance, metadata collection, AI enhanced trace and tracking, etc, all of it is contingent upon the arguments within the FISA 702 issue as it relates to the 4th amendment.

If FISA 702 is not a violation of the 4th amendment protection against unlawful search and seizure, then all domestic downstream DHS surveillance, collection and exploitation is similarly not a violation.

If FISA 702 is determined to be a violation of privacy, a violation of the 4th amendment to be secure in your papers and effects (which it is), then all approaches to conduct domestic electronic surveillance through the network of DHS data assembly is also a violation of privacy.

This is a privacy argument that has not reached SCOTUS. It is still being fought with success at state level.

If you are being monitored without a warrant, you have no privacy. The core argument behind 702 authorizes warrantless monitoring.

Billions of dollars of German auto manufacturing (assembly) investment in Mexico were just vaporized by President Trump. This is a very big kick in the teeth to Germany.  Previously in a long-term strategy to avoid U.S. tariffs, German automakers invested billions in auto assembly plants in Mexico.  Ex. the BMW parts were shipped from Germany and the cars assembled in Mexico.  Now that investment is worthless as the vehicle will be taxed at a rate of 25% regardless of whether it is assembled in Germany or Mexico.

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.

theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/03/2… 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.”

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.

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? 🤔

https://twitter.com/SteveGuest/status/1903262058105188551

She's active..... All indications are she's 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.

https://twitter.com/MZHemingway/status/1900652146137116833

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.

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. 2. Read this report from Sky News carefully:

news.sky.com/story/trump-ze…

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.

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. 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.

1) I am told that apparently there is a strategy afoot. lol

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1872464643266089067

2) Just to be clear. I genuinely don't care, what the crew do.

What I find a little funny is how my account survived several of the pre-Musk "big purges" and the whole COVID ban hammer, but now that "free speech" Elon is in control I'm tenuously at risk.
