Truth Social Post Prompts Jack Smith to Ask Judge to Prevent Trump from Releasing Discovery Evidence to Public
Special Counsel Jack Smith on Friday asked a judge to issue a protective order in the case against former President Donald Trump over his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election after Trump made a post on Truth Social.
On Friday, Trump posted the following message to his Truth Social account: “IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU.”
Now, Smith is using that post to argue Trump’s access to the discovery in his criminal case should be restricted. Smith’s proposed order seeks to prevent “improper dissemination or use of discovery materials, including to the public,” according to a four-page filing.
“Such a restriction is particularly important in this case because the defendant has previously issued public statements on social media regarding witnesses, judges, attorneys, and others associated with legal matters pending against him,” Smith argued before referencing Trump’s Truth Social post. “And in recent days, regarding this case, the defendant has issued multiple posts either specifically or by implication including the following, which the defendant posted just hours ago.” — Breitbart
Our Take: “The ‘Trial of the Century’ as Donald Trump refers to it isn’t even close to starting in earnest, and yet, the stories surrounding that trial have already gone into hyperdrive.
Our own
is the resident expert on how this legal process might play out, including his alluring Disclosure Defense strategy wherein the Smith Trial could allow Trump the opportunity to prove 2020 election fraud on the record, and he also believes this latest deployment by Smith is toothless.While Smith is ostensibly trying to prevent discovery materials as part of Trump’s legal defense, the very basis of the case itself relies on the prosecution proving that Trump KNEW his claims regarding the election (and related matters) were false. To prove that, the court will compel Trump to produce evidence for discovery.
More rhetoric that keeps the trial in the Collective Mind, and all its implications.” —

Our Take: “We don’t understand how money, finance, and economies work in the modern age. At least, the general population doesn’t. However, the globalists and their henchman most assuredly do understand these things, and they also know the system was designed to act as a weapon of societal control, in and through control of economies from the top all the way down to the individual man or woman. We’ve been told we can charge whatever we want without much impact and that this is a core part of capitalism.
We’ve been told we can go into a market or economic space and build business on economies of scale (big business) and that the ultimate effect is good for all, even though it bankrupts the little man and forces him to work for the big man. We’ve been told we can have endless banker credit and tax future generations, who, in some miracle, will solve the problem we foisted upon them.
It’s time to start telling the truth. It’s time to realize we cannot leave the blinders the globalists put over our eyes and still live free prosperous lives, for ourselves and our children. It’s time we call a spade a spade.
Our financial system is not lawful and is not designed for supporting all people; it’s designed for supporting the economic elite, and only those elites who are allowed or used in the service of the globalist parasites. That is to say, we don’t have an economy, we have a global weapon of parasitic banker overt control.
The truth is, money as we know it today was designed by insidious globalists to destroy local economies and force the local citizen to enslave themselves through market forces and economic influences. In this system, employment numbers are important because these translate directly to jobs created by the globalists to support the globalists, by and large. Of course, there are exceptions, but even a non-globalist business has to operate on the globalist plantation that we call the general economy, having to compete against globalist supported businesses that cheat, manipulate, and play unfairly. Thus, no matter how you shake it, everyone is in some way operating within a system that supports the globalist agenda. Thus, the only real solution is to create a better space, a citizen-excellence-first economy space, where operating thereon generates benefits for all freedom loving people—not just parasitic globalists.
In principle, the economy exists to serve the people … all of them, not just the people at the top. But an economy, monetary system or financial system will always work against the people as a whole when the people as a whole give up their rights to false custodians of law, money, and trust, which we call bankers today. The fact we citizens don’t know the rules of the game for the field upon which we play means those who do know the rules, and those who make the rules—the globalists—can cheat and win, nearly every time.
The case with Smithfield Pork highlights how easily an entire portion of the population can be duped and ultimately enslaved when they don’t understand the economic and monetary ecosystem they inhabit. The farmers, who weren’t taught how to defend and protect their families, businesses, and communities, nor stopping insidious predatory polices, practices, and trends, let the fox into the hen house.
When are we going to train ourselves and our children to stop letting foxes into the hen house? It’s high time we figure this out.” —
"Biden's A F**king Goof" - Rogan Rages Against Establishment's "Coordinated Bullshit" Attacks On Trump
Valuetainment's Patrick Bet-David sat down with famed podcaster Joe Rogan this week for almost three hours, discussing everything 'politics' - from DeSantis's (poor) chances against Trump to Biden's corruption (and inevitable resignation) to Trump's (ongoing) mis-treatment by the deep state
Rogan first unloaded on the Bidens and the establishment's never-ending levels of wilful blindness:
"Joe Biden has been a fucking goof his entire career. He's been caught lying so many times. He's so full of shit...
There is so much evidence that he is corrupt. Just undeniable evidence of corruption. The stuff with him and his son...
The guy [Devon Archer] who just testified that was Hunter's business partner who talked about all the different things that Joe was involved with...
It's fucking undeniable, and the fact that mainstream news is ignoring this except for right-wing media is f---kin crazy." — ZeroHedge
Our Take: “This clip of Rogan discussing Donald Trump relative to the Establishment might as well be the public harbinger of the Deep State's doom where it concerns the reachable middle of American society.
In addition to pointing out how much better the country was under Trump, when asked whether he would have Trump on, he said, ‘Maybe,’ adding he'd like to ask him, ‘What is the Deep State really like?’
It wasn't delivered as a joke.
Joe Rogan is a MASS Mind-Mover within the American Zeitgeist, and he’s connected to an audience of open-minded heterodox thinkers who’ve become disillusioned with the political system.
That’s a prime audience that’s ripe for the picking and could be ready to join the growing America First ranks … with the right cognitive push.” —
Dianne Feinstein Ceding 'Power of Attorney' to Daughter Raises Questions
Further questions have been raised as to whether veteran California Senator Dianne Feinstein should remain in office amid reports she is no longer in control of her own legal affairs.
Feinstein's daughter, Katherine Feinstein, 66, is said to have been given power of attorney over the Democrat amid an ongoing financial dispute regarding the estate of the 90-year-old's late husband Richard Blum, according to The New York Times.
The reports that Feinstein no longer has her own power of attorney arrive amid long-running calls for her to resign over concerns about her frail health and ability to act in her role.
Feinstein was absent from the Senate for several weeks earlier this year after being hospitalized with shingles, missing dozens of votes and hindering the nomination process of President Joe Biden's judiciary picks in the process. Feinstein also suffered an inflammation of the brain known as encephalitis while recovering from shingles. — MSN News
Our Take: “We are living in a gerontocracy. Both the White House and the Capitol Building are doubling as old folks homes at this point.
Diane Feinstein, who has long been one of the most stalwart defenders of the CIA and the Military Industrial Complex, is the latest and most obvious example of how bad things have gotten. Her withered hand grasps the power she's become accustomed to so tightly that I wouldn't be surprised if she refuses to relinquish it even after her soul leaves its body.
Feinstein has been a supporter of just about every war since she arrived in the Senate. Additionally, and perhaps not coincidentally, she would always end up encouraging greater and greater military spending while her husband was profiteering as a military contractor.
Now, she doesn't even appear to be fully cognizant of what she's voting on. It's remarkable that somebody who is responsible for such a large constituency and who votes on matters of serious consequence is allowed to do so without even knowing she's doing it, all while her own family is currently embroiled in a heated legal battle over inheriting Feinstein and her late husband's sizable and ill-begotten fortune as if she were already dead.
It brings me no joy to comment on the sad state of her cognition. I'd love to see Diane Feinstein spend the last stretch of her existence in peace, reflecting on the life she's lived or spending time with her morally bankrupt family. However, The Democrat establishment needs her vote; the Chuck Schumers and Hillary Clintons of the world would rather she stay in that position up until the moment of death because if she goes, then Adam Schiff will likely have to run against Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Oakland), a black woman who has 25 years of congressional experience, and he'll be running counter to all of the posturing he and his ilk have capitalized on.” —
Russian Tanker Hit By Ukrainian Sea Drones, Likely With Help From US Intelligence
Overnight saw a major escalation on the Black Sea in the wake of the grain deal collapse, and as Russia is waging war on Ukrainian ports and its ability to export foodstuffs to international markets.
Ukrainian drones reportedly scored a direct hit on a Russian tanker in the Kerch Strait, resulting in damage, however there have been no reports of casualties among the 11 civilian crew members on board. The attack happened at about 11:20 pm Friday (local) just south of the Kerch Strait, according to a statement by Russia's Federal Agency for Sea and Inland Water Transport.
he Russian tanker has since been identified in various international reports as the chemical tanker SIG. The Russian maritime agency described damage "presumably as a result of an attack by a marine drone," in a Telegram statement. "The ship is afloat," it added.
The statement detailed that there is a hole "near the waterline on the starboard side, presumably as a result of a sea drone attack" and confirmed there were no casualties.
SIG has previously come under Washington sanctions for transporting jet fuel to Russian forces in Syria. This strongly suggests US intelligence assisted the Ukrainians with targeting information. Again, this is given that this specific tanker happened to be a sanctioned vessel, connected with Russian logistics in Syria.
"The detonation due to the explosion on the ship was visible from the peninsula, which the local residents thought was an explosion in the vicinity of Yakovenkovo settlement not far from the Crimean bridge," a Russia-installed official in Zaporizhzhia region said additionally. — ZeroHedge
Our Take: “While the Collective Mind has been inundated with Russia-Ukraine stories for the better part of two years, now, one of the more fascinating AND encouraging Macro trends to emerge in recent months has been the continued exposure of the alleged coordination between Ukrainian forces and US intel assets and agencies.
Of course, these reports often frame the coordination as being purely administrative, but those who’ve read the Hersh Report and done any digging into the significant—and significantly memory holed—connections between the CIA and the Azov battalion know better.
Russia is at war with the United States in a manner of speaking; they’re not at war with the nation or its military, but rather by its clandestine apparatus under the coordination of the Deep State Department.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” —
Adverse Effects of Prolonged Mask Use among Healthcare Professionals during COVID-19
In March 2020, New York City encountered its first official case of COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019). This novel coronavirus, referred to as SARS-COV 2, originated in Wuhan, China in December 2019. Within a short amount of time, hundreds of thousands of cases were diagnosed around the world and the United States, causing the World Health Organization to announce it as an official infectious disease pandemic on January 30, 2020.
COVID-19 is spread by respiratory droplets, and healthcare professionals are mandated to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) for a prolonged period of time when caring for COVID-19 patients.
Healthcare professionals report side effects of prolonged use of PPE when caring for COVID-19 patients. This study delves into various adverse effects of prolonged mask use and provides recommendations to ease the burden on healthcare professionals.
[…]
Prolonged use of N95 and surgical masks by healthcare professionals during COVID-19 has caused adverse effects such as headaches, rash, acne, skin breakdown, and impaired cognition in the majority of those surveyed. As a second wave of COVID-19 is expected, and in preparation for future pandemics, it is imperative to identify solutions to manage these adverse effects. Frequent breaks, improved hydration and rest, skin care, and potentially newly designed comfortable masks are recommendations for future management of adverse effects related to prolonged mask use. — Journal of Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology
Our Take: “Masks have never been effective or safe. They were linked with secondary deaths and illness even during the Spanish Flu.
Masks block faces, which has subtle, yet powerful psychological effects.
Faces are critical for co-regulation, or the regulation of emotions and the central nervous system through healthy social interaction. Without healthy co-regulation, mental and physical health problems emerge due to the effects of social isolation.
If all that wasn't bad enough, masks also cause headaches, acne, and impaired cognition.
Of course, if you're real goal is to cause the mental and physical breakdown of the population so they are wracked with insecurities and health problems, then masks are a great solution.
Given all this, what would we say of a government, institution, or business that forces people to use masks?
At the very least, they are negligent and incompetent, unable to discern the truth about masks. At worst, they are knowing agents of a psychological and biowarfare campaign. Shall we call a spade a spade?
Shall we call masks weapons of psychological and biowarfare?” —

Interesting enough, in the Revelation of Jesus Christ, in what we know as chapter 6 verses 5 and 6, when understood correctly, speaks directly to the System of Systems (referred to later in the Revelation, in what we know as chapter 18, as the City of Babylon) manipulating prices, weights and measures (i.e., economies) in order to maintain ignorance among the working class (us) and to allow bondage by those seeking "opulent luxury" - in other words elitists. And this has been in place since Cain founded the first cities. In that sense this is not new - only the means have changed with technology; the motives and intentions have remained the same for thousands of years.
For those of us here who believe that the Bible is a gift from God (our Creator), it is in our best interest to understand these things - not out of fear, but out of our stewardship responsibilities.
