“Remember, voter intent is real. In elections, only voter intent is real.”

New topic of debate.

I beg to differ.

Gary's avatar

One of the fundamentals of forest management is fire trails - access roads (often little more than two-track paths) meant to bring personnel, fire equipment, clearing crews, etc. into the forests. The U.S. National Forest not far from where I live has those, as does the State Forest on our other side. Canada has had those for decades, but last year shut most of them down, making the forests inaccessible both to forest management and fire control specialists, and to the general population - there was quite a political battle from hikers and campers who suddenly faced fines in the tens of thousands of dollars (Canadian dollars, but still quite a bit) if they dared bypass the locked gates and bulldozed barriers blocking those roads.

The fires, the smoke, the aftermath of respiratory issues, were all intentional.

ALtab's avatar

Exactly, for this specific time (250th/midterms).

Wild Bill's avatar

Another thing about those trails is, they need to be maintained. Brush and deadfall cleared, occasional re-grading, etc. Otherwise they soon become impassable.

Allowing public use of the trails helps -- people walking them will often remove a fallen tree, to make the trail usable for themselves and others. You'll sometimes see a civilian toting a small chainsaw to help with the task.

You can't hate Canada's liberal government enough.

Especially when what 6 months prior to the election Pierre Poilievre had a forecast 225 seats, of 343. If it looks, smells and acts like a rat, it most likely is a rat.

Trump is right to put the bastards in the stocks.

Gary's avatar

Exactly right. Even if a civilian trail user doesn't try to clear fallen or overgrown brush, by reporting it they can assist the Forest Service which can then go in and clean it up. As you said, the trails become impassable if they're unused; if Canada relents and reopens theirs, they'll have to begin with a lot of reclamation work.

Wild Bill's avatar

I'm afraid that will take a new government. Carney's Liberals are true-blue believers. Part of the British Cabal, key players in fact. They believe that the fruits of the Earth belong only to them and their elite friends, not us plebes. Elizabeth Nickson talks about this a lot (she's Canadian, living in BC).

—-I’m not a sports fan, particularly (except tennis and gymnastics), but a grandson plays soccer. Thank you, Ghost, for the excellent and informative assessment of the this year’s tournament. I learned a lot!!

—-Ashe, Concur!!! It’s past time to take out the climate cult AND the weaponized weather modification crew, too.

—-Saudi Arabia is one of the primary keys to the Middle East peace, once the nation saved for last is purged of its cabal influence. The signing of the documents will be specifically timed….waiting to remove the traitors in Congress?

—-Ghost is on target as usual! Anyone who has taken the time to read and digest The Art of War clearly understands the importance of timing. (Nope, he’s not real. I’ve read the Koran.)

—-The intelligence agencies (specifically the 5👀s) have always served their true master, the cabal, and they have no limits to the evil they will do. Sinister doesn’t even come close to the levels they are capable of.

—-BB has the bottom line, evidenced by my daughter’s comments while here visiting, negative responses to conspiracy theorists and anyone who questions anyone of influence. She’s still programmed and believes the ChatGPT completely. ‘He is targeting them because they ARE the key power projection arm of the invisible enemy, and always have been.’

—-The darkest hour is before dawn. I consider we’re nearing that hour. Thank you for the dedication and persistence you all demonstrate daily; thank you for sharing your God-given gifts!

My thoughts on World Cup in the USA

1) We are not a Soccer country. I personally do not care one iota about it. Watched a number of games and was bored silly. But it was fun seeing all the people enjoying it.

2) What an incredible boon for the USA - thanks to Twitter/X, Tic Toc, YouTube, Facebook and every other platform carrying the homemade videos from Europeans et al telling of their amazing experiences with our food, people and Buc-ee's. Free Speech allowed them to tell stories that the evil cabalist media has forever tried to silence. Beautiful! And we looked great!

3) Yesterday at 3:00 I was sitting in traffic at the Holland Tunnel, trying to drive my daughter back to here apartment in Manhattan after a weekend home in PA. It was inconvenient, but not horrible. I exited across the Geo Washington Bridge and avoided the mess. Despite the inconvenience, what a great event it was here in the USA. still not a soccer fan though.

I can tell you that in spite of Trump's comments regarding election fraud last week, few have pursued the actual documents; heck - I know MAGA conservatives who didn't even watch his speech bc they assumed all he would do is blather on about how "the iran war would be over soon" (which he keeps saying while it gets worse and gas prices continue rising). There is a midterm election coming up ~ I can guarantee you that if something radical doesn't happen soon - like maybe an economic shakeup/ an arrest/ a few hundred unsealed indictments/ the administration ceasing to comment on their proposed outcome of a particular assassination trial, the power pundits in WDC are not going to be pleased with the outcome of the upcoming election ~ and those of us MAGA conservatives out here in Realville (TY Rush) are screwed. If there's really "a Plan", it needs to be *delivered* on sooner than later. People are tuning out now ~ time to stop TALKING and start EXECUTING JUSTICE or shut up....

Gary's avatar

Step back a bit, Tessa - it's far more important that the formerly classified documents are now a matter of public record than that the general public - even the MAGA public - read them in detail. What were once undiscovered secrets are now admissable evidence - even the fact they were suppressed is actionable - and the people building cases now have raw materials to do so. Most investigative and prosecutorial work goes on behind the scenes until every thread is accounted for. Given the depth and breadth of these crimes, our best course is aggressive patience - give them time, but never let them think we've forgotten.

Tessa Dunn's avatar

Hey ~ I'm on your side. I've been part of this war from actually before Day One. Ya wanna see the msm become responsible? ARREST SOMEONE - HECK! ANYONE! ~ nobody cares anymore bc it's become so dang ridiculously dragged out. There are more MAGA supporters who can no longer defend the rhetoric. Peace president?

Respecting DUE PROCESS?

Ignoring who/ what was behind Butler? Even Corey's wife is feeling ignored....

I used to tell people not to worry about the midterms.....I no longer say that....I swear I hope I'm wrong. Between bibi's genocide, the iran war, the economy (prices here in NC are still stupid high/ even for eggs), election fraud, Russiagate, the autopen - I could go on but I won't. You get it. BTW: the Rogan/ Vance interview re: epstein was quite telling too 🤔

Please! Let me be wrong!

Gary's avatar

Understood, Tessa. The war we're in is very deep indeed - the real "Day One" might be the early 1900s as Woodrow Wilson and the Progressives were coming to the fore, it might be the 1850s as major parts of our country were concluding that the nation could not continue as one, we could even put Day One as July 4th, 1776, at least for the USA, because the fight has always been against tyranny, not just this or that tyrant. Against that 250-year war - which given the proclivities of mankind is and must be our REAL "forever war" - the battles of the past ten or twenty or fifty years have shown us some wins, some losses, some standoffs, but we shall not be defeated until we stop fighting.

"Illegitimi non carborundum" - avoid the doomers, stay positive, seek the good, hammer on your politicians even when it seems pointless - the hard rock of the Grand Canyon was worn down by a river that didn't give up [Luke 18:1-8] - and never forget that the fight we're in is the same one Washington and Jefferson and Lincoln and Reagan fought.

GregoryPravda's avatar

Well... I think that's gonna be a serious challenge. I could be wrong but aren't all newscasters members of the actors guild? And they have bo requirement to be truthful because they are classified as entertainment if I'm not mistaken. Thus... they aren't breaking laws with their deception until it goes into proven efforts to aid foreign actors to defeat America. But that evidence is, again, gonna be hard to prove.

As I see it, for absolute certain McCain was executed as well as Biden if we accept the insane amount of military signal from his fake inauguration. This leads me to believe that most of the consequential bad actors have already been removed from positions of power.

But i too am hearing MAGA grumblers. So you're not wrong to be worried.

Expectations = premeditated disappointments. Your expectations as to how this is supposed to go is leading your disappointments. No one has promised anyone anything as to the course of events and path of justice. Just sit back and watch the show. We are winning - bigly. Don't miss the trees (wins) within the forest.

Amen. Hasty 'justice' is seldom just.

Tessa Dunn's avatar

You may think so ~ but here in Realville where many of us reside, there are many disenchanted MAGA voters who are becoming more and more disgusted. Nothing Trump says makes sense ~ I'd have loved to have been a fly on the wall (where Donald & Melania were) yesterday when Spain won ~ his words aren't cutting it anymore. We're sick of hearing about "we caught them all", providing proof and then what? ZIP, ZERO, NADA. What more needs to happen? People are battle weary ~ I fully agree that our expectations are what's driving our disappointments ~ it's just that even those among us are sick of rhetoric and no action...

eileen's avatar

A while ago, I was disgusted too. However, after listening to the President, paying more attention to what he actually said, I realized it wasn't for us. Much of his communication isn't for us. It is designed to create cognitive dissonance because without that phase, no change is possible. Not only is he trying to take down the cabal (including the food and gas cartels that keep prices high), he is also trying to get us to change our behavior: to stop listening to gatekeepers and start thinking for ourselves. Expecting the President to do everything is a reason why people get dissolutioned. Our mind is what the cabal wants and poor expectation management is a recipe for being controlled.

Every narrative has a glass half empty side and a glass half full side of the same story. The glass half empty is the bad news, the side the MSM always takes because it leads to fear. The glass half full side is the more optimistic side of the story that makes people more excited about what is going on. Not all involves taking the 40000 ft view of something like Iran, where the glass half full means understanding and accepting the view that Iran is not what it seems. This may be far fetched, but accepting it doesn't cost anything because the hostilities are limited to the Middle East.

Closer to home, Trump has ALWAYS said go local. Why? Because he is attacking the globalist supply chain and by doing so, he got Walmart to lower its prices, as some places, the residents only have a Walmart. Local allows decentralizing supply chains so that when he attacks the cabal controlled chains, the people still have access to purchasing what they need. The globalist supply chains rely on artificial shortages to manipulate us. Going away from them allows us to get our supplies from sources other then the globalist controlled one.

Regarding gas: here where I live, gasoline prices are high NOT because Trump hasn't kept his word but because the state and local governments tax it. As I found out, some states, even Republican controlled ones, do not want us plebians to have a good life. So they perpetuate the shortages through fees or taxes. Fees are imposed frequently without telling us. So perhaps, Trump isn't responsible for what you see. Don't like the LGBTQ crap of schools-home school or replace your school board.

What I have noticed is that prices have stabilized and residents are rebelling against the state and local governments. So, while I admit prices haven't fallen much, I am the first to admit they haven't gone up either and some items are falling. It is also far easier for local sources to sell things that they couldn't before, mostly eggs, dairy and produce. While beef prices haven't fallen, they stopped rising and I can get the cuts I want, including organs and suet. While I would love to see prices fall, I am glad I don't have to be a vegan.

So while I don't quite understand the messaging, looking at the glass half full side of the story allowed me to be optimistic, which I think is important, not so much for the midterms, but just to be able to sit back and watch. The reaction of known cabal institutions like the media is better than watching comedy and you'll get a good lesson on how psyops work. Don't think for a moment that Trump is the first President to do this: a very good recent example is the Gulf of Tonkin. It didn't happen, but we all believe it did. Another one which killed thousands of people is 9/11. It not only got us wanting war, but it also got us to hate Muslims. Just because it was a psyop does not mean the tragedy of people dying did not happen. Iran may not be what it seems, but it does not mean Iranians didn't die. They did, tens of thousands of them did.

Perhaps Trump is informing us if what happened in the election because he wants US to work the polls, to watch what happens and to be the next Tina Peters who fought for election integrity. To lobby the city or county governments to ban machines for elections and to use paper ballots. To fight the local governments taking bribes to house illegals or provide incentives to fire locals and hire illegals. For too long, we sat on our behinds while the bureaucracy kept siezing more power right in front of us while we pursued the new American dream of cluttering our spaces with Made In China junk, because they were cheap. We lost sight of what being an American means and ceded our sovereignty to China. Trump wants us to take it back.

A LOT OF SUNLIGHT & MOONLIGHT

Even with light in the past, we weren't seeing what we needed to see, but in the past 9 years we've adapted to seeing more than we ever did. GBPH's take on FIFA, Argentina, and Spain soccer game is one of those, POTUS Trump securing FIFA WC being held in the US was a double light that showed the people of EU member states the lies they've been told for decades, and the light exposed FIFA leadership using the national sports as a political weapon, and the corrupt leadership. FIFA coming to the US had the leadership trying to pump the faulty brakes on their leadership bus, too late, they still crashed, and exposed the dirty leaders & its dirty chief.

Every action POTUS Trump, and our cabinet do in our Republic,Republic the USA, has the pinball effect; the pinball bounces around hitting other countries, and with every hit, the score just keeps racking up. No matter what our adversaries throw at our 47 team, they just keep bulldozing right over them. Before 2025, not a single day went by without the anti-American politicians pushing their evil lies, and their woke agenda on national networks with MSM elites giving them an unlimited platform spewing their garbage. Notice their absence; if they have everything under their control, and the MSM in their pockets, why did they all go into hiding? Only their paid useful idiots are making the rounds, even they are beginning to shy away from the cameras. Hmmm, ....seems like we were told in 2017, "They won't be able to walk the streets"!

One last note, I don't think POTUS Trump needs to tell us who will take up the baton after his term is up, he's been showing you. Those who will be carrying the MAGA/AF banner into the next 8 years have been doing what chief petty officers promotable do in the US Navy Construction Battalion (US Navy CB's).

The CB's or Sea Bees (the redheaded stepchild of the US Navy & Marines), are just about the only unit/battalion in our military that cross-rates into different trade skills; electrician may be the primary MOS, but they cross-rate into plumbing, apprentice carpentry, etc. EO MOS (equipment operator) cross-rate into other heavy motor equipment/vehicles.

Every MOS held in the CB's is not limited to that one soldier; he/she will have their primary A-School MOS, but learn other skills, and qualify for additional MOS after they complete the required training manuals, and successfully pass the exam. Cross-training ensures there is never a skill shortage, and construction projects are done in an expeditious manner. Much like management by walking around on the factory floor, you have to know every facet of the factory before you tell someone how to do their job as a business owner. Working your way from ground up to supervisor makes you a valuable asset to any bussiness.

Look back to the first day POTUS returned to the WH the first day, and who he's relied upon the most, who he used as trouble shooters, and are constantly front, and center. There are three, who have stood out, and those are the ones who will be carrying the MAGA/AF Banner forward with one holding the baton. If you don't know the factory floor, you will be bull dozed over, taken advantaged of, and not be respected. NBK

Jim Schout's avatar

I like your pinball machine analogy. But Trump has cheated the machine. He relocated the flippers so the distance between them is smaller than the diameter of the pinball. Thus, the game cannot end unless he tilts the table. Every bounce of the ball wins for Trump. No one else gets a turn because he controls the game.

You said: "What were once undiscovered secrets are now admissible evidence..."

So who's gonna do the prosecuting there sport? MANY *crimes* have been substantiated; like Fauci and Comey lying to Congress, and no one charges them EVER!

The totality of DC employees are either crooks or clowns. The crooks are directed by Congress while the clowns are managed.

ALtab's avatar

Investigations take a lot of time, and unlike the 2-tier rule of law farce we’ve lived under for decades now, must be kept secret with NO leaks. I suspect these are already closed indictments, but are sealed until the justice phase. These numbers are no longer posted publicly , but the last time I did see them, there were several hundred thousand!!

It will be an absolute flood unsealed at the right moment.

Wild Bill's avatar

“Let me throw some variables at you and ask you, you’re the Commander-in-Chief, how you would handle this? OK: You have 366,000 sealed indictments. You’ve got all these things that have happened, going back to the Fauci murder of millions of Americans and millions of people around the world.

“Pull that string all the way to today, all the lawfare, all the Hillary crap, the Russiagate, the stolen elections, all of it. Even in Pam Bondi’s own words, when she has them, is that if we were to prosecute all the Epstein crap, 98% of the government would come down or the government would be incapacitated.

“I guess Assange had said 98% of the government would come down. So if you’re going to round them all up, if you’re going to do this roundup, and by the way, you have to, because if not, you’re going to face impeachment after the Midterms are over, I guarantee it."

Holt appears on several podcasts, including his own. I generally like his take on what's happening. He and Susan Kokinda frequently team up with Rich does Politics. It's as entertaining as it is informative. 😎

Wild Bill's avatar

I believe Trump uses Gen. Holt to release information that he wants us to know, that Trump can't tell us himself (or risk being called a nutjob or crazyman or whatever by the left/media). Like that there are 366,000 sealed indictments waiting. Stuff like that.

ALtab's avatar

This writer is exact right about slow-walking. That’s exactly why I consider the timing of the release will be when the country is aware they’re traitors. Tribunals are more fair and do not allow the garbage civilian trials use to get the accused off.

So what if 98% of government falls? That would get the federal government more in line with the constitution. I’m ‘feeling’ a bit impatient with the bloat and corruption tonight.

All the government people out of work can learn to code…oh, that’s right, AI is taking that job.

And you can get there easily -- two steps:

-- Get rid of 6 of 7 agencies, most of them are duplicated anyway

-- Get rid of 6 of 7 employees in the agencies that remain

(1/7)*(1/7) = 2.04%.

QED.

You just proved I’m a genius (and didn’t even know it)!🤣🤣 But, seriously, I concur completely. I suspect the DOGE findings might have already been started to achieve that goal…. Time will tell.

Jim Schout's avatar

Two words will likely save the Democrat party. “Unknowingly” and “Unsubstantiated” are those important words of salvation. They are actually the opposites of “Knowing” and “Substantiated” which are absolutes. It is like Truth and untruth. Total opposites.

Lately I am hearing the two words a great deal. The media refused to televise Trump’s address because they said his message was unsubstantiated. That says the message contained untruths or most likely did. The problem for them is he didn’t say anything controversial. He merely asked us to read the DOJ documents that substantiate his prior claims. So, what is true? Are substantiated facts unsubstantiated? Do you see the trap for the fake news?

The more dangerous word is unknowing. That gets liars a lot of wiggle room. To put a person into prison it is necessary, in a lot of cases, to prove beyond doubt that they did not mislead knowingly. In politics that is a real key point. And, it is why all of this is taking so long to uncover. Both words are the bottom line.

The press conference Thursday is where the rubber meets the road. Did the media knowingly lie when they said the president’s talk contained unsubstantiated information? Or, did they unknowingly make that statement based on his past claims of the 2020 election theft which have never been substantiated to be true?

Please see the greatness of our situation! The more we hear those two words, the more we see our absolute victory! What pisses me off is Trump is actually saving the Democrat party. They need to be eliminated because they have meticulously destroyed our country with lies and debt. But a lot of Republicans are guilty too. Those Republicans will use unknowingly and unsubstantiated information their defense also. It’s how you avoid jail.

The truth has to win. We must ”Know” what it is. And, we absolutely must make it substantiated. We are in a battle that must be fought and won for America to survive.

Wild Bill's avatar

Media tell you the story the way they want you to hear it. The way they believe it, actually.

They have no problem believing the lies; if they actually believe it, does that make them guilty?

It doesn't matter in the end though -- the media aren't the ones who need to be rounded up and punished for their misdeeds. The actual mis-doers are the ones.

And I believe Trump has them in the crosshairs...

About 10 years ago, I worked for an insurance agency that did a lot of high net worth property insurance. This was when the California wildfires were going strong in NorCa - Santa Rosa, Paradise, etc. We had a meeting where there was a rep from CalFire. He said a healthy forest has 70-80 trees per acre. CA was average then was 300 per acre and there were over a million dead trees. The fuel load is insane. But don't cut anything down! Climate change my ass...

Bleighv05 (believe05)'s avatar

I haven't been able to wrap my head around sanctions against Canada because of the wildfires. How does Canada control the wind? I know how hard it is here in the US to control the wildfires. Seeing Canada's forests firsthand - wow - what a job to try to contain theirs. This one doesn't make sense to me.

I am all for revoking broadcasting licenses. Report the truth and you have little to worry about. Maybe my take is a little simplistic, but I truly believe that. "The truth will set you free". Yes, that verse refers to the truth of Jesus, but all truth is founded is Jesus so to me it applies.

The Middle East will forever be fascinating to me. As I've been reading in Genesis - I am seeing now the origins of the tribes. MOST Middle East people groups have semitic history. They are descended from Noah's son, Shem. There are those people groups who are not, but by and large -- they all intermarried so much that you couldn't decipher one group from another. Which makes any cries of antisemitism humorous to me. Should Saudi have access to nuclear? For power, certainly. For weapons? Should anyone have that? I know, I know, are nuclear weapons even real. They must be real enough if they are asking. I continue to read, learn and watch what is happening. It is truly good theater.

So -- globalists realized they have lost control in Europe, etc. Now they are upping the ante in Africa? Or their long term schemes are being exposed in Africa? They just won't give up and go away. More's the pity. If this report about Burkina Faso is true, then good for him! Expose away.

Thanks for all the work you guys do. It is so important.

ALtab's avatar

Canada’s deliberate cessation of forest management techniques led to the fires. That’s why.

California is another example.

Jim Schout's avatar

Exactly! It is how they sell manmade global warming. But, they actually are proving the opposite. Look at the power of Mother Nature and the volume of air pollution produced in Canada from poor forest management. Human beings don’t produce that volume of contamination in hundreds of years from all sources combined.

But, corrupt politicians can generate all of that devastation by just being inept. The difference is they are playing us against ourselves. They create catastrophes to sell us much bigger catastrophes called Socialism and Communism. This stuff doesn’t happen by accident. The Left knows precisely where they are taking us.

I used to be amazed when I read or heard things like, "if you're not doing anything wrong why would you care if.....?" Insert any threat to personal freedom.

But I guess 150 years of mental conditioning have born fruit.

WHY in a country BASED ON FREEDOM OF SPEECH, I.E. idea desimination, would there be a need to "license", "control" or "regulate" broadcasting?

I'm sure it had nothing to do with CREATING A "STATE SANCTIONED MEDIA". I mean, be a good little broadcaster and you get to keep braodcasting.

HERE WAS THE "PITCH".....

BROADCAST LICENSES EXIST primarily TO MANAGE the FINITE RADIO-FREQUENCY SPECTRUM and prevent signals from interfering with one another. By REGULATING these public AIRWAVES, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES like the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ENSURE orderly COMMUNICATION, set POWER LIMITS, and ENFORCE PUBLIC INTEREST standards.

INTERESTING DATES

Broadcast licensing first came into existence in the United States with the RADIO ACT OF 1912, which required all radio operators to obtain a government license.

HOWEVER, the MODERN BROADCAST LICENSING system FOR COMMERCIAL RADIO was established by the RADIO ACT OF 1927. This act ESTABLISHED that THE PUBLIC OWNS THE AIRWAVES and created the Federal Radio Commission to isbroadcasting.

PUBLIC applied to airwaves, MEANS the RADIO FREQUENCIES used for broadcasting (like TV, radio, and cell networks) ARE OWNED BY THE CITIZENS and MANAGED BY THE GOVERNMENT RATHER THAN BEING PRIVATE PROPERTY. The FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) GRANTS COMPANIES LICENSES TO USE THESE FREQUENCIES UNDER THE CONDITION THEY SERVE THE "PUBLIC INTEREST".

February 25, 1927: President Calvin Coolidge signed the MCFADDEN ACT into law. This LEGISLATION RECHARTERED THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS PERMANENTLY, LIBERALIZED BRANCH BANKING, and PERMITTED NATIONAL BANKS TO ENGAGE IN SECURITIES OPERATIONS and REAL ESTATE LENDING.

Spring 1927: The U.S. economy experienced a brief recession, largely driven by Henry Ford halting production for six months to transition his factories from the Model T to the Model A.

Summer 1927: CENTRAL BANKERS FROM the UNITED STATES, BRITAIN, FRANCE, and GERMANY HELD DISCREET (closed yo the public) MEETINGS ON LONG ISLAND TO ADDRESS GLOBAL GOLD RESERVES. THE FED AGREED TO LOWER INTEREST RATES TO INJECT CHEAP CREDIT (DEBT BONDAGE) INTO THE U.S. ECONOMY and HELP BRITAIN REMAIN ON THE GOLD STANDARD, WHICH inadvertently FUELED HEAVY STOCK MARKET SPECULATION.

Spring 1927: JAPAN SUFFERED THE SHOWA FINANCIAL CRISIS, a MAJOR BANKING CRISIS STEMMING FROM INCOMPLETE POST-WW1 ECONOMIC RESTRUCTURING and a BACKLOG OF BAD LOANS, LEADING TO BANK RUNS and GOVERNMENT EMERGENCY INTERVENTIONS. (Test run for the U.S. 1929)

December 5, 1927: PRESIDENT CALVIN COOLIDGE DELIVERED HIS ANNUAL BUDGET MESSAGE to Congress, PROJECTING a NATIONAL SURPLUS and outlining THE ADMINISTRATION'S FISCAL PRIORITIES.

IN 1934, THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) WAS created TO TAKE OVER and EXPAND this AUTHORITY.

1934 WAS DOMINATED BY PRESIDENT FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT'S NEW DEAL REFORMS TO THE U.S. BANKING SYSTEM and CAPITAL MARKETS.

A.K.A. FDR'S RADIO CHATS.......

The most significant legislative milestones from this year include:

January 30, 1934: The GOLD RESERVE ACT was SIGNED, REMOVING GOLD FROM CIRCULATION and TRANSFERRING OWNERSHIP OF ALL MONETARY GOLD TO THE U.S. TREASURY, DEVALUING THE DOLLAR by roughly 59% relative to gold.

June 6, 1934: The SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT of 1934 was PASSED, WHICH ESTABLISHED THE SECURITIES and EXCHANGE COMMISSION (SEC) to REGULATE SECURITIES MARKETS and PREVENT CORPORATE FRAUD. (How did that work out..?)

June 16, 1934: Congress passed legislation increasing the FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION (FDIC) basic deposit insurance coverage limit to $5,000 TO further PROMOTE PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN THE BANKING SYSTEM.

June 26, 1934: The FEDERAL CREDIT UNION ACT was signed into law, ALLOWING for the creation of FEDERALLY CHARTERED CREDIT UNIONS ACROSS THE U.S.July 1, 1934: The EXPANDED FDIC DEPOSIT INSURANCE COVERAGE limit officially TOOK EFFECT.

Do you know who had the first commercial broadcasting license.....Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co's.

Do you know who owned Westinghouse at that time..... Following a 1911 reorganization, CONTROL TRANSITIONED FROM FOUNDER GEORGE WESTINGHOUSE TO A BANKING SYNDICATE LED BY institutional investors like MELLON NATIONAL BANK and KUHN, LOEB & CO.

In 1911, Mellon National Bank was one of the most powerful financial institutions in the United States, anchored in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. LED BY INDUSTRIALIST and FUTURE U.S. TREASURY SECRETARY ANDREW W. MELLON, it was the cornerstone of a financial empire that funded America’s Gilded Age and Progressive Era, including companies like Alcoa and Gulf Oil.

In 1910, KUHN, LOEB & CO. was the second-largest investment bank in America, led by Jacob H. SCHIFF. (THAT NAME SOUNDS FAMILIAR, but Google says there's no connection...;-).

That year, K,L & C. FIRM PARTNER PAUL WARBURG participated in a secret, crucial meeting at JEKYLL ISLAND, Georgia. This gathering DRAFTED THE INITIAL LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK FOR THE U.S. FEDERAL RESERVE.

Paul WARBURG'S primary line of AMERICAN DESCENDANTS STEMS FROM HIS ONLY SON, James Paul Warburg (1896–1969), A PROMINENT banker and FINANCIAL ADVISER TO President FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.

BEYOND the HISTORIC CENTRAL BANKING DEVELOPMENTS, 1910 was a notable year for Kuhn, Loeb & Co. in several key areas:

Railroad Dominance: The firm continued its massive railroad financing and restructuring efforts across the U.S., heavily shaping the operations of the Union Pacific, Northern Pacific, and other lines ALONGSIDE PARTNERS LIKE OTTO KAHN (Monopoly Man).

Otto Hermann Kahn (1867–1934) was a prominent GERMAN-JEWISH American INVESTMENT BANKER, philanthropist, and arts patron. Born into a WEALTHY, NON-PRACTICING JEWISH FAMILY in MANNHEIM, GERMANY, he later moved to New York in 1893 where he became a senior partner at Kuhn, Loeb & Co.

While Otto Hermann Kahn and the Rothschilds were not the same family, their stories are deeply intertwined in the history of international finance and European-American high society.

Foreign Financing: Under SCHIFF, THE FIRM MANAGED AMERICAN SYNDICATE PORTIONS FOR SIGNIFICANT JAPANESE WAR LOANS. THE FIRM FAMOUSLY WITHHELD LENDING TO THE RUSSIAN TSARIST GOVERNMENT DUE TO ITS ANTISEMITIC POLICIES.

Did you know the first ever use of commercially licensed broadcasting....?

First official U.S. commercial broadcasting license October 1920. KDKA famously made history with its FIRST SCHEDULED BROADCAST on November 2, 1920, ANNOUNCING LIVE ELECTION RETURNS of the Warren G. Harding versus James Cox Presidential election.

You are correct in asking. I didn’t know most of that.

My approach at this was from a different perspective but I came to the same bottom line.

Before 1900 corporate business relied on banks for funding a new product or service. The first step was to sell the concept to a bank to get them to accept your bonds in exchange for cash. The bank held the commanding position if the business failed. In that situation the buildings and all assets went to the bank.

A second source of cash came from selling shares of company stock to investors. In a bankruptcy they got absolutely nothing but heartaches. But, because of the weaker position, shareholders received. Higher rate of return on the dividends than the banks holding the bonds. Typical bonds paid 5 to 6% while the shares paid about 2-1/2% more.

By 1900 it was clear that stocks beat bonds and the public was figuring out that the stock market was a better place for their money than a bank. This is why all of the banking manipulation had to occur.

By 1929 everything was in place to screw the public. The DOW Jones had been manipulated from about 80 in 1920 to 380 in 1929 by speculators who began dumping shares. No average investor knew anything about price versus earnings. They just had learned that money was to be made in the stock market. It was pretty much a repeat of Tulip bulbs in Holland in 1637. Bankers know the tricks of their trade.

So, in 1933 FDR fixed the problem by confiscating Gold. That had nothing to do with fixing the problem created by the bankers, but it put the bankers back into the drivers seat and taught America the stock market was to be feared.

Today the money for a new idea doesn’t involve banks. The company just issues an IPO and gets the speculators to buy direct. But the normal guy is still afraid of Wall Street because of 1929!

As I said above, none of this happens by accident. The Left knows precisely where they are taking us.

It is a slow and tedious process aimed at the demise of America. We are in the process of reversing their process. We are in a war of process. The Founding Fathers invented a new process for us in 1776 but it was our job as citizens to implement it. Good intentions are great until they are sold to us in ways that undermine the original design. That is how the “Progressives” work.

To me it seems plausible that this is exactly why Trump is absolutely thrashing stories. The people are growing exhausted from media whiplash which is eroding trust in that system. But damn... it's a painfully slow process.

You literally cannot FORCE people to see. They only see when they are already ready.

All I can share is that people who've never questioned media before are exhibiting media fatigue in a real way.

What we can do is continue amplifying "we the people" as media - like Nick Shirley, etc.
