Governor Rick Perry appeared on the insufferable CNN Jake Tapper show earlier today.  Of course what would the CNN propaganda be worth if Tapper didn’t immediately begin by targeting Perry to defend the “faux-controversial” comments about Khizr Khan…. etc.

However, things didn’t exactly go as planned.  Please note the first response from Tapper at 00:46 “well, well, I don’t think anyone is saying he shouldn’t be criticized“… Watch:

Tapper:  “well, well, I don’t think anyone is saying he shouldn’t be criticized”…

Perry: “well, then what’s the conversation then”?…

Exactly.  If no-one is saying Khan can’t be criticized, then what’s the controversy?  The entire manufactured controversy centered around any criticism of Khizr Khan being ‘out-of-bounds’.

Epic.  Common Sense.

Tapper Haz ‘Splodey.

A Pennsylvania Jury found Democrat Attorney General Kathleen Kane guilty on nine criminal counts last night including conspiracy and perjury.  Elected to office in 2014, found guilty of criminal conspiracy in 2016:

(Via New York Times) […]  Ms. Kane stared straight ahead as the word “guilty,” uttered decisively by a juror in a flowered dress, echoed nine times around the courtroom. The lawyers immediately went into a private conference with the judge, leaving Ms. Kane, who campaigned on a promise to uncover political interference in Pennsylvania, alone at the defense table.

And when Judge Wendy Demchick-Alloy returned to the courtroom, she turned directly to Ms. Kane with a stern warning, her words slicing through the silence.

“There is to be absolutely no retaliation of any kind against any witness in this case, either by your own devices, from your own mouth or your hand, or directing anybody to do anything,” the judge said. She threatened Ms. Kane, who is currently free on bail, with immediate incarceration if she failed to comply. (more…)

I’m going through the transcript and video now and will be expanding on the overall speech in a subsequent and substantive post.  However, a quick few notations are in order.

Candidate Donald Trump’s specific speech today was a rebuke to the 2009 speech of President Obama made in Cairo Egypt.  Don’t let the media ignoring that aspect fall silently past you, it’s critical.

The 2009 Cairo Speech by President Obama, his “Mid-east Obama Doctrine”, was the detonation tool, the exact epicenter, for the explosion that created the “Arab Spring”.  Go back and refresh your memory if needed.  It was a specific moment in time. It was a specifically worded ideological speech, and it held specific goals and intentions.

The media will now go into overdrive to protect President Obama from the bigger truth which can come out as a result of this enlarged conversation.   It was President Obama who gave rise to the “Arab Spring”.  You can guarantee the media will go nuts trying to avoid that reality. Watch…

There appears to be a great deal of angst and anxiety surrounding the 2016 Presidential race that is genuinely unnecessary. When you know the playbook, when you know what’s predictably going to happen, there’s no reason to be upset when each tripwire is triggered.

The only time concern is truly warranted, is when one of the tripwires are not triggered. The mosquitoes that buzz, don’t bite – they’re just annoying.

Having said that, and having previously outlined the playbook for most of the 2016 election previously, let’s take a closer look at what is on the horizon.

However, before outlining the predictable, it is important to remember: almost all of the professional political punditry already know this stuff – they’re just acting as if they believe the political Potemkin village is real to retain a paycheck.

Back in 2015, when several readers still genuinely believed the Potemkin village was real, we tackled the question of:  what would happen if the financial class, the donors who fund the political pantomime, saw Donald Trump as an inevitable candidate?

What we shared over a year ago remains today: (more…)

The Benghazi Brief is easily the most painstaking undertaking I ever endeavored to research, accept and eventually write.  It was not a comfortable assembly.

The Brief was written almost two years ago:

• It was written well before Mike Rogers and Charles Ruppersberger produced their self-serving, pre-retirement, diversionary distraction/report.
• It was written before the House Select Committee on Benghazi was even created, let alone produced their final report.
• The brief was written before the Fox report “13 hours in Benghazi” was presented by Brett Baier.
• It was written long before the Hollywood movie around the night of the Benghazi attack, “13 Hours – The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi” was produced…

…. and not a single aspect to those, or any subsequent revelation, has ever compromised or run counter to the information contained with the Brief.

To the contrary, every report, every leak, every WikiLeak detail, every statement, every interview, every FIOA discovery and every factual detail pried from the clutches of the political establishment has done nothing except to validate the construct of the original research outline.

So why does that matter?

I doubt you could find a more representative story to exemplify the current state of American journalism than this one.

Summary Version:  A 62-year-old guy in New Jersey was minding his own business – walking down the street, wearing a Donald Trump T-Shirt….

He was attacked by a motorist who stopped his car, got out, and beat the 62-year-old Trump supporter with a crowbar.

The New Jersey news article was written  by a reporter named Jessica Mazolla.  Read The Article HERE.   Please notice The headline reads:

“Man’s Trump T-shirt sparked crowbar attack, cops say”…

So the Trump T-Shirt caused the guy to get beaten with a crowbar…. You getting this?

It’s the “her skirt was too short” argument customarily heard from rape apologists.  But, oh, wait, it gets better.  The reporter, Jessica Mazzola, gets called out on the ridiculously biased presentation by a few readers in the NJ.COM comment section.

She responds: (more…)

Seth Rich was a DNC staffer found shot to death in Washington DC on July 8th 2016.  The murder was widely reported as a robbery/homicide.  However, the killer(s) took nothing from the victim.

Rich’s watch, phone and wallet were all untouched.

The circumstances led many people to contemplate if Rich was “a source” connected to a larger story. This speculation only increased when WikiLeaks offered a $20,000 reward for any information on the murder.  WikiLeaks released emails from a DNC hack a little over two weeks ago.

Now this – via GatewayPundit.  WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange seems to strongly suggest Seth Rich was connected to the WikiLeaks DNC data leak, possibly the source, and murdered as a consequence:

Very, very disconcerting.

Keeping up with his ‘man of the people image‘ Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has purchased this third house, a $600,000 lakefront vacation chalet in Champlain Islands.

Part of the traditional campaign negotiations between various camps is the willingness of the endorsed candidate to absorb the campaign debt of the endorser.  The tighter the race, the more value is assigned to it.  Subsequently, it shouldn’t necessarily come as a surprise to see Sanders financially benefiting from his endorsement of Hillary Clinton.   How else does a Senator afford three homes on a congressional salary.

Let's not kid ourselves. We have today a campaign finance system that amounts to legalized bribery.

Senator Sanders owns one house in Washington DC and another house in Vermont; the $600k vacation home becomes his third, albeit ‘seasonal’, residence: (more…)

Because you’re worth it !

Yesterday the New York Times posted a story titled: “Researchers or Corporate Allies? Think Tanks Blur the Line”.

[…] Think tanks, which position themselves as “universities without students,” have power in government policy debates because they are seen as researchers independent of moneyed interests. But in the chase for funds, think tanks are pushing agendas important to corporate donors, at times blurring the line between researchers and lobbyists. And they are doing so while reaping the benefits of their tax-exempt status, sometimes without disclosing their connections to corporate interests.

Thousands of pages of internal memos and confidential correspondence between Brookings and other donors — like JPMorgan Chase, the nation’s largest bank; K.K.R., the global investment firm; Microsoft, the software giant; and Hitachi, the Japanese conglomerate — show that financial support often came with assurances from Brookings that it would provide “donation benefits,” including setting up events featuring corporate executives with government officials, according to documents obtained by The New York Times and the New England Center for Investigative Reporting.

As a person who has floated though the disconcerting world of Think Tank politics, the Times article was a worthy notation not only because of the substance within it, but also -and perhaps more aptly- because in the world of intellectual property amalgamation such a news article (research proposition) doesn’t just happen organically as a matter of happenstance.
