EXCLUSIVE: Constitutional Attorney Says Pence, Congress, Violated Constitution, Trump Can Use EAS To Circumvent Censorship
He also pointed out multiple Constitutional violations by states, Congress, and Vice President Mike Pence.
“Everyone consummated the violations to the Constitution across the board,” said Raiklin.
According to Raiklin’s legal analysis, the states violated the Constitution on December 14 when they sent their slates of electors to Congress.
You had the fraud going on at the precinct level. The states violated Article 1, Section 4, which is time, manner and place of running federal elections. They went outside those bounds.
Then Article 2, Section 1, Clause 2, the states violated that component of the Constitution, which is the Electors Clause, because they didn’t select their electors in the manner that the state legislatures mandated under their election laws.
Then you have Article 4, Section 2, which is the Supremacy Clause of Constitution, meaning that the Constitution and federal laws supercede any state laws in contravention to that federal law, by running their elections in the manner that they did and it goes alongside of Article 1, Section 4.
Also, they violated the 14th amendment, the individual folks that legally and legitimately voted, because their votes were diluted by the fraud. It could’ve only just been one dead person, at the end of the day it occurred and they need to have pristine elections, and that’s not what happened.
He also said that Vice President Pence violated the Constitution on December 23, by not sending a letter to those states, demanding that they correct the fraud. As National File reported, US Code actually prohibited Pence from accepting electoral votes from fraudulently certified states. Additionally, Raiklin said that Pence violated the Constitution a second time on January 6 by “not setting up an environment to correct the fraudulently certified electoral slates from these six contested states.”
“The United States Congress yesterday, facilitated the violation of all those parts of Constitution and in addition to that, they violated the 5th amendment, the Due Process clause, because the 5th amendment applies to the federal government. I’d argue that they also violated the 12th amendment, the manor that they voted in the House on the objections,” said Raiklin.
According to Raiklin, these Constitutional violations, along with the extensive censorship of the President by Big Tech and Big Media, who are still protected by Section 230 “courtesy of the Senate Republicans,” has left President Trump with one last option – activating the Emergency Alert System.
“His only option in order to be able to defend the Constitution is to activate the Emergency Alert System, to be able to convey his message to the American people across television, radio, internet, and phones, since he’s being banned on everything. In that message he needs to lay out the case to America that we are being attacked by foreign adversaries, particularly China, in terms of cyber. There’s also a Russian and Iranian component. I’m saying this with a high degree of confidence, based on all the reporting that I’ve seen, and it’s all unclassified,” said Raiklin.
“He needs to lay out the case of a foreign attack based on national security grounds, which is what you’d usually use the EAS system for, and articulate that under the framework of Executive Order 13848.”
Raiklin recommended that the President take his time and “articulate everything,” and to “use the entire executive department, declassify things that you need to declassify, to let folks know.”
“Because there is an insurrection going on inside of the entire government, funded, supported and fomented by foreign actors, he needs to lay out that case as well, of any evidence of that,” said Raiklin. “Why would Nancy Pelosi call for an impeachment of the President when he specifically said there was going to be a peaceful transition, with less than two weeks remaining, saying they will impeach him unless the cabinet throws him out of office using the 25th amendment?”
“There must be something that will implicate her, that is already in the hands of the President, and she needs him out of office to not be able to activate the Emergency Alert System, to communicate to America what she is also potentially complicit in. There is something there,” said Raiklin. “That something may be somehow associated with Eric Swalwell being on the intel committee, and his relationships that have been exposed recently of potential ties with China.”
Raiklin noted that it would be strategically advantageous and possible for China to co-opt US politicians, such as California Representative Eric Swalwell, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, and California Governor Gavin Newsom, in order to “influence their decision making in a manner that is most favorable to Chinese interests.”
“It is my assessment that there is a potential nexus there, from what I’ve seen, that’s worth looking into further, in auditing these individuals on their ties to foreign connections, potentially, foreign intelligence services and foreign governments. Unfortunately we don’t have a FBI that does that.
One of the reasons that they don’t do that, I would suspect, is that the committee that has oversight over the FBI has an agent, potentially, of its own, that would apply pressure to those same agents that would be investigating them, ie: Swalwell on HPSCI, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.”
Raiklin said that the President’s main focus should be restoring election integrity in the United States, regardless of the politics. He recommended that President Trump use the EAS and “activate federal forces under the Insurrection Act, send them to the swing states that violated the Constitution, and tell the state governors that those federal forces will remain in place until the state legislatures actually vote on an electoral slate of their choosing.”
Such a move would force states to conduct their elections in the manner that is consistent with Article 2, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution, “which they have yet to do,” according to Raiklin.
“In terms of the US Constitution, I’ve sworn an oath several times in my career, and that thing doesn’t expire. It is my obligation to advise the President that he has also taken an oath to defend the Constitution. Right now, under these circumstances, that is the only mechanism that he has legally,” said Raiklin. “It would be Martial Law in those states until the those legislatures actually voted and complied with the Constitution.”
“It wouldn’t be against the people. Let me frame it this way, it would be solely deployed to those state Capitols, like the actual Capitol building, to make sure that the legislators voted how they wanted to. It’s not coercion.”
If the states certified Biden as the winner after this, Raiklin said that he would be willing to “accept the results of the election as being Constitutionally valid,” even though he would still have his doubts as to whether or not the underlying ballot numbers were legitimate. This would “require further litigation and audits of ballots and machines, which the President must seize and have the Military” conduct a forensic audit for “foreign ties” in order to address these doubts, according to Raiklin.
National File has learned that Raiklin banned Twitter from all of his devices, and is also in the process of deplatforming Apple, YouTube, Amazon, and Google in the coming hours. Additionally, Raiklin has demanded that Parler move off of Amazon Web Services by midnight on Sunday. Raiklin continues to allow Gab and Telegram to broadcast his content, and will return to Parler when they fully move off of AWS.

What The Hunt Brothers Can Teach Us About Gamma Squeezes
“Almost anything is better than paper money. Any fool can run a printing press.” – Nelson Bunker Hunt
A year ago, the phrase “gamma squeeze” would have caught many of Wall Street’s most astute investors off guard. Today, both traditional and social media regularly parrot the phrase. It won’t be long before the shoeshine kid tells the Bank President about his gamma squeeze exploits.
A Gamma squeeze is just the latest innovation in centuries of market manipulation schemes. Given this activity is a source for significant volatility and instability, it is worth exploring.
Before continuing we share a recent tweet from Chris Cole at Artemis Capital.
Think about his powerful statement for a second. Essentially Chris states that stocks are now a derivative of a derivative of stocks. That is an absurd figment of our imagination.
The Hunt Brothers
To provide historical context on market manipulation we look back at an asset squeeze for the ages. In the 1970s, the Hunt brothers, Nelson, Lamar, and William, had extensive holdings in oil, real estate, cattle, and sugar. Concerned about the effects of what they believed to be careless monetary and fiscal policies, as well as risks of the newly formed oil cartel (OPEC), they set out to hedge their businesses and assets. Since it was still illegal for individual investors to own gold, they chose to hedge with physical silver.
The Hunts began buying silver in 1973, acquiring futures contracts equivalent to 55 million ounces of silver. At the time, the price of silver per ounce was $1.50. Over the next six years, the Hunts grew their holdings to well over 200 million ounces, worth more than $4.5 billion.
By 1979, their activity prompted actions by the Commodities Futures Trading Exchange (CFTC) and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (COMEX). Both entities sought to restrict their buying and forced liquidations. Silver nearly hit $50 per ounce in mid-January 1980 and then fell to $10 per ounce by the end of March. At that point, margin calls on futures contracts and borrowings against existing silver holdings depleted all of Hunt’s cash. They were forced to liquidate silver to cover margin debts.
Leverage Builds and Leverage Kills
The Hunts initially took physical delivery of silver and did not use leverage. Over time though, they understood the power of using their silver as collateral to buy more silver. Buying silver futures on margin meant they could influence the price at a fraction of the cost. Such leverage allowed them to multiply their purchasing power and drive silver prices higher. The only demand on the Hunt’s was to have enough cash to fund their futures margin account adequately.
In addition to the CFTC and COMEX efforts, the Federal Reserve also played a role in breaking the Hunt brothers. Fed Chairman Paul Volcker sharply raised interest rates in January 1980 from 11.75% to 20.0% making borrowing for the Hunts much more expensive and difficult. One week after the Hunts shut down their silver market activity, Volcker began lowering interest rates.
Leverage allowed the Hunts to distort the price of silver, but it also killed their scheme. They lost over $1.1 billion on the trade. They also lost civil charges, which in part led them to declare bankruptcy.
The Tiffany advertisement below describes the economic effect the Hunt’s had on various industries.
What are Delta and Gamma?
The Hunt brothers used leverage and brute force to corner the silver market. Today’s traders employ a more refined technique but one that relies on leverage.
The “Gamma Whale,” which many think is Soft Bank, provides a lesson on how a gamma squeeze operates. Before explaining the scheme, we define option Delta and Gamma.
Delta quantifies the rate of change of the options price per the change in the underlying stock price. A delta of .50 means the option price will increase 50 cents for every $1 in the stock.
Delta is not a linear function, meaning it will not change proportionately with the stock price. Gamma quantifies how Delta will change per the change in the stock price. The chart below shows the non-linear “S-like” shape of Delta and the Gamma curve that warps it.
Options trade on leverage of sorts as a relatively small option premium can control many shares. In most cases, the premium is a tiny fraction of the price of the underlying shares. However, if the option is in the money at expiration, the option’s holder takes delivery of the underlying stock and must pay fully for the shares. In most cases, options traders sell the option or roll it to a future month to avoid payment.
The Gamma Whale
The “Gamma Whale” owns a portfolio of stocks. Like all investors, they want the value of their stocks to rise. To better their odds, they buy short-dated call options on stocks they own. Like the Hunts use of silver futures, the Whale can more efficiently manipulate share prices higher using the leverage in the options market.
A Gamma squeeze relies on the hedging actions of options dealers. The banks and brokers who are the largest sellers of options must hedge their trades. Most dynamically hedge, meaning they frequently adjust the hedge amount according to the Delta of the option. If the Delta is .35, then they buy 35 shares for every option contract they are short. If the Delta then rises to .40, they buy five more shares. Conversely, they sell when the Delta falls.
If the Whale buys enough calls, they can trigger a Gamma squeeze. The option purchases force the dealers to buy the stock, which pushes the share price higher. As this happens, the dealers’ buying activity increases the Delta at a non-linear rate (gamma). In circular fashion dealers then must buy more of the stock, and on and on.
Like Hunt’s strategy, this one works as long as you can keep buying calls, and the stock price keeps rising. As the Hunt’s found out, that is not always possible. Here are a few problems the Whale and others face.
- If they elect to sell the calls, the dealers will also sell the underlying stocks, which hurts their underlying large share positions.
- The popularity of such strategies results in increased options premiums, making it costlier to execute.
- Since they do not take delivery of the underlying stock, they have to continue to roll the positions until they sell the underlying stock. Again, selling the options will force dealer selling. Further, there are times they may not want to buy or roll calls, such as heading into the coming election or at quarter/year ends.
- Dealers will get tired of being on the losing end of a trade and purposely push stock prices lower. Lower prices have the reverse effect, as dealers must sell when deltas decline.
It is also worth considering; the Whale can short a stock and then buy puts to create a squeeze but one that pushes share prices lower.
Summary
Hunt’s scheme failed because they relied on leverage. The Gamma squeeze also depends on leverage and the willingness of important market participants. If the cost of leverage goes up or the intermediaries in the trade become reluctant, then the music of the gamma trade will stop.
Once the Hunt’s began using leverage, they gave the “game” back to the establishment government, banks, and the Rockefellers. Like the Hunt brothers, the Gamma trade squeeze relies on the banks to lose money. As the Hunt brothers can attest, do not bet against the establishment, the banks, and those who sponsor them (Fed, Treasury, etc.)
Equity prices and valuations have lost all relationship to economic reality. Gamma induced surges are yet another example of the false market foundation. Ignoring the inherent risks may be pleasant when the market rises, but at the same time, instability soars. We urge you to look back at the silver chart to indicate what may happen when reality remerges.
Silver Price Could Double Again Within 90 Days of Time
We can likely all agree, the last year 2020 was off the charts strange.
Well, the calendar year has changed, but the weirdo event trend has not.
Just like much in our modern-day lives, the bottom line truth about what happened in the storming of the US capital building this past Wednesday, January 6th, 2021 will likely never be known nor understood fully.
Reportedly five people died from this may lay, the FBI is now on manhunts for those involved. Some lawmakers call for President Trump to be impeached and launched from his office before the coming Jan 20th inauguration of Joe Biden.
Welcome to 2021.
Gold Silver Market Update
Very positive silver and gold news began this past week, as both Democratic candidates won the Georgia senate race runoffs.
Further along in this week’s update, we will listen and go into trillions of more reasons why the Democrats hold most seats in the US Senate, US Congress, while having the executive branch is bullish for bullion in the upcoming two years.
Gold reacted positively to the Georgia senate runoff news Tuesday evening and overnight in Asian trading, only to have billions in notional derivative gold contracts sell off the spot price of gold more than $100 oz from Wednesday morning through today’s price raid, based on no real fundamental reasons.
Back in late 2016, when President Trump shockingly won the US election, that was the last time I witnessed gold manipulation chart-painting this egregious in the COMEX markets.
Trump election gold price rigging manipulation late 2016 SD Bullion
The short term price discovery powers appear in need of buying both themselves and the system more time.
We had a similar story in the silver market this week.
After the bullish silver Georgian election results, the silver spot price appeared to be headed past $28 in route to testing 30 per troy ounce, and then cascading price declines based on next to no bearish news.
So to review the counterintuitive price action this week. There were large silver and gold derivative notional selloffs that started this past Wednesday morning, and they raged through midday today, Friday, Jan 8, 2021.
All that selling effort resulted in the silver spot price closing at about 88¢ oz lower than where it started the week.
Since we simultaneously have got many more trillions of upcoming reasons, there is no question that the derivative short-term price discovery powers are getting so desperate and evident in their technical breakdown efforts.
Quick reminder for those who missed the last time silver went near double in a short time frame.
2011 silver price started lower then near doubled in 90 days of time SD Bullion
A decade ago, we started the year with bearish silver price action, only to have a snapback rally nearly double the silver price in about 90 days.
Here is that same early 2011 silver price rally in the context of today’s now doubled fiat USD M2 pile.
Silver vs USD M2 pile 2011 vs 2021 SD Bullion
If we listen to what coming Presidential elect Joe Biden said today about some of the future administration’s first moves, they will be made in about two weeks.
Apparent that additional $1,400 stimulus checks are coming, and likely some $2 trillion in green infrastructure spending, much of which should be solar and silver intensive. And these keep in mind will only be the starting salvos of the Biden administration.
Those efforts will not be enough to cover the expanding gap in continued wealth disparity, the nation’s fallen GDP, the collapsed labor participation rate, and sunken consumer spending in our consumer-driven economy.
Ultimately the Democrats and the majority of US citizens polled are now calling for regular $2,000 fiat Fed Note checks every month for as long as this Covid crisis continues.
Universal Basic Income (UBI) is now being test piloted in multiple major cities.
Monthly helicopter funds remain a real possibility later in this administration’s tenure, and it will come likely come wrapped with a direct fiat Fedcoin account for wide and immediate adoption.
silver cup handle price shart full fiat era SD Bullion
Barring a broad spectrum financial selloff and market crash, expect the silver spot price to come raging back for this week’s carpet-bombing back into the $25 handle.
And note, too, the gold-silver ratio moving back into the 60s is currently only one bullish silver trading day away.
Turn now to the raging stock market bubble. The Nasdaq index now makes the 1999 mania look like child’s play.
Nasdaq stock bubble Elon Musk world's supposed richest man on paper 2021 SD Bullion
We were beaten over the head this week that on paper, supposedly Elon Musk is now the world’s richest person.
While too, the world’s oldest central banks had an official publicly signaling to the world the fact that central banks both currently are and increasingly will be buying stocks directly when this passive investment bubble begins popping and feeding in on itself.
This chart below illustrates gold’s performance vs. the smaller Dow Jones index and broader S&P500 index throughout this full fiat currency era. Note this chart does not take dividend reinvestments nor company bankruptcies into full account along the way.
Gold vs Stock market percentage gain performance full fiat era SD Bullion
The same chart format below, but this time measured by silver’s full fiat era performance. It will take silver moving towards triple digits before another spike pierces the stock performance bubble ongoing.
Silver vs Stock market percentage gain performance full fiat era SD Bullion
More simple to see is perhaps the full fiat era dow gold ratio, which stands near 16 at the moment.
A run back towards ten and beyond 2011’s low towards five is possible in this Biden administration’s coming tenure.
Gold Dow Ratio 2021 full fiat currency era SD Bullion
On the silver side of this full fiat era, note the gap between where we are now vs. 2011’s low of just over 200 oz silver to buy the then nominal S&P500.
If we are indeed setting for a major commodity bull later this decade, rotating out of high priced stocks into hard silver bullion should pay handsomely in valuation and purchasing power gains for those with the foresight to do so now.
Silver Dow Ratio 2021 full fiat currency era SD Bullion
After all, the soon to be President is coming into office with trillions of more fiats stuttering off his silver tongue.
These ongoing ingredients lead me to believe we are likely headed to worsening physical bullion shortage eras, coupled with powerful gap ups in bullion values as the coming years unfold.
That is all for this week.
As always, please take great care of yourselves and those you love.

Q The Plan To Save The World REMASTERED
UPDATE - Within MINUTES of posting this from Youtube the video was deleted by youtube!
Italygate, part II: Obama and Renzi accused of being the masterminds of the US electoral fraud
by Cesare Sacchetti
The latest article published on this blog has explained the hacking scheme which involves Italy’s government.
Bradley Johnson, a former CIA agent and chief of one of the intelligence agency stations, revealed how Italy had a crucial role in what could be described as an international coup d’état against Donald Trump.
Basically, the main actor of this attack was Leonardo, who is an Italian government company leader in the defense and aerospace sectors.
There’s another person who has completely confirmed the role of Italy in this fraud and it is Maria Zack.
Mrs. Zack is the chairman of the association “Nations in Action ” and in an audio file leaked two days ago she explains how the fraud would have occurred.
According to Mrs. Zack, the operation center which coordinated the attack was effectively the US embassy in Rome.
This version completely matches Mr. Johnson’s story, but Mrs. Zack gives more important details about it.
The operation would have been coordinated by the Italian General Claudio Graziano on the second floor of the embassy, assisted by an Italian secret service agent, Stefano Serafini.
General Graziano is a very important character in this story. The Italian military leader is the president of the military committee of the European Union.
The General is an ardent supporter of a European army solution and in one of his recent conferences clearly said that there’s nothing beyond the EU and NATO.
Therefore, Graziano could be considered a deep state operative and a member of the military lobbies that are fiercely opposing President Trump’s foreign policy, which is not based upon military interventionism but on the respect of other countries’ sovereignty.
However, the Italian military would have been the director of this operation which would have used Leonardo’s technology.
As Mr. Johnson said, the Italian governmental company provided its technology to run the hacking attack.
Maria Zack confirms that a “Leonardo’s satellite was used to load the software and change the votes from Trump to Biden”.
Originally, the plot to switch votes from Trump to Biden didn’t start in Rome, but in Frankfurt, where a CIA station hosts Dominion’s servers.
Apparently, everything was working fine until the hackers in Frankfurt realized that what they were doing wasn’t enough to finally deliver the “victory” to Biden.
At that moment, the hackers called Rome for help. Then in the US Embassy, the operation was recalibrated by creating new algorithms.
Trump was taking too many votes and it was necessary to reinforce the attack.
The votes were then sent from a military satellite operated by Leonardo to the US into Dominion’s servers.
Apparently, all this plan was confirmed by Arturo D’Elia, a former Leonardo’s consultant, who in a sworn testimony admitted his role in the hacking scheme.
Mr. D’Elia claims that he acted under the instructions of US embassy personnel in Rome.
However, it seems very unlikely that this plan could have taken place without the US ambassador in Rome, Lewis Eisenberg, knowing what was taking place in his own embassy.
Lewis Eisenberg was appointed by Trump in 2017 and he was a contributor to his campaign. However, at the same time, he’s very close to the Zionist neocon lobbies which oppose Trump’s military disengagement.
The political masterminds of the plan: Renzi and Obama
What was described so far is the military and secret service level of the operation orchestrated by disloyal and subversive members of the US and Italian deep state, but Mrs. Zack’s revelations that follow are even more shocking.
The political level of the plan was basically conceived by Barack Obama who was allegedly helped by his Italian counterpart, Matteo Renzi, the former Italian Prime Minister.
The Chairman of Nations in Actions claims that what happened was “a really brilliant plan orchestrated by Obama with the help of Renzi.”
The relation between Renzi and Obama is simply fundamental to figuring out both the first coup attempt against Trump, namely the Spygate, and the second ongoing coup against the US President, which is the electoral fraud.
The latest declassification of the NSA documents confirmed that in September 2016, Barack Obama was perfectly informed of what was going on against the Republican candidate.
The former CIA director, John Brennan, had informed President Obama that Hillary Clinton was fabricating a false scandal to depict Trump as a “Russian stooge”.
The US institutions, such as the FBI and the US intelligence community, had a major role in this plot because they gave a green light to the illegal espionage against Trump.
Therefore, it is not far-fetched to say that President Obama was the mastermind behind the plan to sabotage Donald Trump.
At the same, the Spygate couldn’t take place without the decisive assistance of Italy. When Obama had chosen to authorize the illegal espionage operation, he would have asked for the help of the former Italian Prime Minister, Renzi.
The timing is very important in this matter. A month after Obama-Brennan’s meeting, the then former Italian PM paid a visit to the White House.
If Mrs. Zack’s version is right, it was on that occasion that Obama ordered Renzi to take part in the plan.
Renzi would have agreed by involving the Italian secret services in the espionage.
The Italian secret services would have conceived a plan to set up Giulio Occhionero, an Italian nuclear engineer, who had been used as a way to falsely associate Trump to the Kremlin.
Basically, the Italian intelligence would have tried to plant Hillary Clinton’s emails on Occhionero’s US company, Westlands Inc.
Occhionero was chosen as a patsy because he’s quite close to the American conservative circles that endorsed the Trump campaign.
However, the most surprising thing that ties this scandal to the electoral fraud is the relation between Obama and Renzi.
Even after both of them left their offices, they kept working to orchestrate a sort of permanent coup d’état against Donald Trump.
Italy is the red thread that connect Spygate and the US electoral fraud
There’s a red thread that connects Spygate and this red thread is the axis between the Italian and the US deep state, represented in this case by Obama and Renzi.
This subversive plan would have never stopped and would have continued until November 2020 when both sides, the US and the Italian operatives, conspired to overthrow Trump.
In other words, globalism has certainly used members of the Democratic party, like Obama, to coordinate the coup, but even more crucial would have been the subversive power of the Italian deep state deeply eradicated in Italy’s public institutions.
Italy’s incumbent PM, Giuseppe Conte, would have been perfectly informed of this operation as “he is very engaged and involved” claims Zack.
And frankly, if this version is proven right, it is hard to think the contrary.
Leonardo is a government company that has 30.2% of its shares in the hands of the Italian Ministry of Economy, the minister there is Mr. Roberto Gualtieri, an EU loyalist.
The present CEO of Leonardo, Mr. Profumo, was appointed to his role in April 2020 by Conte who basically confirmed the choice of his predecessor, Paolo Gentiloni, former Italian PM in 2017 and also apparently involved in the Spygate.
The black funds to finance this plot would have been provided by Iran, which would have financed Obama with 400 million dollars to direct the operation.
This version partially confirms the role played by Obama from 2017 onwards. The former US president ran an organization outside Washington DC, which could be considered a sort of shadow government to thwart Trump’s presidency.
According to other sources, Obama’s financers would have been Soros ONGs.
However, the former Democratic President had been simply essential to coordinate the whole scheme and Italy has provided its technology and its government operatives to carry out this plot.
The story of the US election fraud has basically been an international coup d’état conceived by the Washington deep state and acted through the participation of several countries and globalist governments, such as Canada, Germany, China, Spain, and Italy.
In other words, the globalist power has been used by the governments that are serving the New World Order agenda to overthrow Trump.
The Italian opposition is not exposing the scandal: the axis between Renzi and Salvini
Meanwhile, in Italy, the media are silent both on Spygate and Conte’s involvement in this scandal.
The leader of the Italian opposition, Salvini, is not denouncing them either.
Apparently, after the fall of his government, Salvini formed a sort of axis with Renzi to pave the way for another technocratic government, most probably led by Mario Draghi.
The system in Italy has been silencing those scandals because they see the participation in them of both the majority and the opposition.
However, as was explained in the previous article, Italy is essential for solving the crime of the US election fraud.
If someone wants to really understand what happened in this elaborate international coup, it must look at Rome.
The Fear Factory
- U.S. war-making machine boomerangs on Americans
- Biden transition team member says propaganda’s not “that awful”…
- … and the First Amendment is overrated
- Returning to the “golden age” of media gatekeepers?
- Twisted case of Silicon Valley blackmail (on Capitol Hill)
- Free thinkers are “domestic terrorists” now
- The 5’s heritage: operating outside the mainstream
It might be the most under-reported story of the entire 2020 campaign cycle.
Well, it was right there in “respectable” mainstream sources. But you had to look real hard to find it…
From The Washington Post, May 1: “A new Democratic-aligned political action committee advised by retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the former head of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, is planning to deploy technology originally developed to counter Islamic State propaganda in service of a domestic political goal — to combat online efforts to promote President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.”
The outfit was called Defeat Disinfo. It deployed an artificial intelligence tool first spun up by the Pentagon. The purpose — combating Trump’s social media posts, creating “counter-narratives” via a network of “paid influencers.”
Is there any clearer instance of how an empire’s war-making against distant peoples eventually comes home and is turned on its own citizens?
Well, aside from militarized policing, of course…
“McChrystal’s deployment of anti-terrorism technology to manipulate domestic political opinion during an election is surely incompatible with republican values,” writes Catholic University prof William Smith for the Quincy Institute.
“One would have thought that the McChrystal revelation would have generated more controversy.”
But no. The power elite and the deep state thought it completely valid and justified in service to the goal of removing Orange Hitler. Ends justify the means and all that.
Assuming their efforts have succeeded, the question follows: Now what?
Back to the pre-Trump “normal,” right?
Hardly. Meet Richard Stengel, who aspires to a position of authority that in third-world dictatorships might be called the minister of information…
Stengel spent more than a quarter-century at Time magazine, working his way up to managing editor from 2006–2013. Then he joined the Obama administration as “under secretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs.” When the Trump administration came in, he went back through the revolving door to MSNBC.
Now he’s part of the Biden transition team. His remit is the U.S. Agency for Global Media — the bureaucracy responsible for U.S. state media/propaganda overseas, including Cold War-era relics like the Voice of America.
Except Stengel thinks it’s long past time for Washington to start propagandizing you and me, too.
“My old job at the State Department was what people used to joke as the chief propagandist,” Stengel said during a Council on Foreign Relations panel in 2018. “I’m not against propaganda. Every country does it, and they have to do it to their own population. And I don’t necessarily think it’s that awful.”
But wait, there’s more. “Having once been almost a First Amendment absolutist,” he went on, “I have really moved my position on it, because I just think for practical reasons in society, we have to kind of rethink some of those things.”
His rationale? “Disinformation” is too much of a threat to the body politic — and we peasants are too stupid to discern fact from fiction.
As Ben Norton writes at The Grayzone of that 2018 forum, “Stengel stated clearly that a ‘news cartel’ of mainstream corporate media outlets had long dominated U.S. society, but he bemoaned that those ‘cartels don’t have hegemony like they used to’.”
Make no mistake: It’s a return to these “good old days” that the power elite seeks.
It’s what we’ve been saying for more than two years, ever since the “deplatforming” of Alex Jones by a host of social media outlets.
As Zach Weismuller wrote for Reason, “Washington sees in Silicon Valley a chance to control speech in a way never before possible under the First Amendment, and to roll back the clock to a pre-internet age of media gatekeepers.”
Yes, a “golden age” when everyone got their news from — well, Stengel’s old employer Time magazine for one, along with CBS News and of course The New York Times.
Said gatekeepers can be relied on to set the boundaries for “acceptable” discourse — the equivalent of the 40-yard lines on a football field, defined by Hillary Clinton on the left and Jeb Bush on the right. Anything outside those boundaries amounts to “disinformation,” or even “hate speech.”
➢A tale from those “good old days”: The author Simon Louvish tells the story of some Soviet writers who came to visit the United States in the early ’80s, before Mikhail Gorbachev took power and began his “glasnost” reforms. These writers were stunned to read the newspapers and watch TV… and find the opinions expressed on the major issues of the day were all the same.
“In our country,” they said, “to get that result, we have a dictatorship, we imprison people, we tear out their fingernails. Here you have none of that. So what’s your secret — how do you do it?” How indeed?
Defenders of Silicon Valley’s sundry crackdowns inevitably say these are private companies and they can do as they please. If only it were that simple.
“It's not just private companies acting on their own accord,” says the journalist Matt Taibbi. “They are private companies that got called [to Capitol Hill] after Trump got elected, and overtly threatened with increased regulation,” he tells our acquaintance Demetri Kofinas on the Hidden Forces podcast.
“Most of these companies had long histories of not wanting to be in the fact checking or political content moderation game. Mark Zuckerberg right before the 2016 election was saying, ‘We're not a news organization. We're a tech company.’ And then they get hauled in by the Senate. They get ordered, ‘Where is your plan for preventing the fomenting of discord?’… Told if they don't do that, there's going to be tax penalties and all kinds of other things.
“They suddenly have to enter into partnerships with the FBI and groups like the Atlantic Council. The FBI calls them private-sector partnerships now. So they're being advised on what is and what is not fake news by groups full of former intelligence officials and big corporate donors and overseas donors.”
And this incestuous relationship will only get turned up to 11 now…
Going forward, anyone who strays outside those 40-yard lines is at risk of being labeled a “domestic terrorist.”
So says the tireless Glenn Greenwald — whose conscience led him to resign last month from The Intercept, the media outlet he co-founded in 2014. Its editors refused to publish an opinion piece he wrote because it committed the unpardonable sin of putting Joe Biden in a bad light before Election Day.
Consider the conundrum traditional media outlets face now. They railed incessantly against Trump… but at the same time, Trump was the best thing to happen to their readership and viewership levels in years. As CBS’ then-CEO Les Moonves said in 2016, the rise of Trump “may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS.”
As Greenwald explained recently on Joe Rogan’s podcast (going on Rogan was another unpardonable sin committed by Greenwald), “Trump was a godsend to them because Trump enabled them to elevate everybody’s fear levels and say this man who’s coming isn’t just another president, he’s a grave threat to everything that’s good in our life. And not just him, but his entire movement behind him.”
So if Trump’s on his way out the door, how do the media keep the fear levels amped up?
After all, “They’re not going to just go back to talking about Joe Biden because they know people are going to cancel their subscriptions and turn the TV channel again. They’re going to continue to say… Trump or at least his movement still pose this existential threat…
“They’re going to inflate it wildly so that any questioning of Joe Biden, even with Trump out of the picture, is still going to be depicted as endangering American liberty, as helping fascism, as serving the agenda of the Kremlin.
“And the ‘need’ for censorship as a result is going to be accepted by more and more people because of that fear that these media outlets and government institutions with whom they partner are going to still be instilling in people for their own benefit.”
As Greenwald elaborates in a YouTube video to his paying subscribers, “The Democrats are identifying and defining their domestic adversaries not as adversaries but as terrorists, as domestic terrorists, white supremacist terrorists, fascist terrorists.
“The media has fed off this narrative and profited greatly off of it — that the Republicans and conservatives are not just standard political adversaries, they’re actually white supremacist and fascist terrorists trying to implement violent coups…
“That’s going to allow agencies like the FBI and the NSA to investigate domestic dissidents against a Biden-Harris administration on the ground ‘we’re not searching out our political adversaries, we’re searching out domestic terrorists.’
“They’re also going to, in turn, pressure their friends at Google and Facebook and Twitter, who have funded them, to continue to censor their critics on the grounds that they’re not just critics but they’re national security threats.”
So get ready for the “fear factory” to ramp up production — the federal government’s secret-police agencies along with traditional media and social media.
What are the practical consequences? Even before Election Day, the aforementioned Mr. Taibbi was engaging in self-censorship.
“The other day,” he said on Hidden Forces, “I wrote an article where I was going to talk about why I didn't want to vote for either party in this election, and I thought about the headline. And the headline was going to be Vote for Neither. But I knew that that would actually trigger Twitter's policy against discouraging people from voting. So I had to change the headline.”
Yeah, we saw that one coming last year.
We’ll have much more to say on this topic in the weeks and months ahead. But why are we even bringing it up in an e-letter whose usual beat is the markets and the economy?
The answer is it’s our heritage. From the earliest days of our trade, financial newsletter editors have trafficked in ideas outside the mainstream.
Nearly a century ago, Roger Babson warned the Roaring ’20s were destined to end in tears. (They did.) Fifty years ago, Harry Browne urged readers to drop the “Nifty Fifty” stocks and pile into precious metals as the last vestiges of the gold standard were being killed off. (Good advice then.) Just over a quarter-century ago, James Dale Davidson warned about The Plague of the Black Debt. (It still plagues us.)
Across the decades, up to the present day, newsletter editors give voice to a nagging feeling people have in the back of their minds — that reality isn’t the way the mainstream gatekeepers portray it. We daresay financial newsletters were the pioneers of “alternative media.”
Point being — and this is the good news in an otherwise depressing single-topic episode of The 5 — financial newsletters filled a crucial information gap during those “good old days” when there was no internet and the media were dominated by three nightly newscasts all taking their cue from that morning’s New York Times.
So one way or another, we’ll still be there in the 2020s even if social media platforms want nothing to do with unsavory types like us.
And because we don’t rely on advertisers to pay the bills — the vast majority of our revenue comes from readers like you — you can be confident our editors are speaking their truth, with no conflicts of interest and no hidden agendas.
With that in mind, we thank you for your past readership — knowing that our future success rides on a nonstop process of earning your trust.
Best regards,

The 5 Min. Forecast
P.S. The markets? Another Monday morning vaccine rally.
Last week it was Pfizer, this week it’s Moderna. The Dow is less than 150 points away from 30,000 and the S&P 500 has crested 3,600. The Nasdaq, however, is still struggling to regain record levels.
Unlike last week, gold isn’t getting whacked — the bid steady at $1,892.
Back to regular programming tomorrow.

Intelligence Analysis of US Coup – WOKE Revolution
From Global Intel Hub -- 1/8/2021
What's going on in USA is a staged political operation financed by Oligarchs to overthrow the democratically elected Donald Trump, a populist nationalist, in order to install a military junta. The US has a history of doing this to hundreds of other countries most recently in Ukraine, Georgia, Chile, and many others - but it never happened domestically. When the US was in Afghanistan the military developed a program to fix elections, code name Operation Shadownet - it uses a combination of brute force hacking with planting news media stories to not only fix the results, delete evidence of the fix, but a PR campaign, psychological operations, to plant false narratives in the small brains of TV watchers. This is highly effective, and has been used in many countries other than Afghanistan. The project was sold to private business, and finally got in the hands of Dominion Voting Systems which was used to flip the vote from Trump to Biden. The goal of these provocateurs is Monopoly, they want to create a global business Monopoly, think Microsoft but 10x bigger for healthcare, government, food, entertainment, housing. This will be backed by a single 'one world currency' issued by central banks (not Bitcoin) - a digital US Dollar which is managed by a chip implant wallet, Microsoft patented this technology patent no. 60606. Strong countries like USA are a threat to Globalism and their plans so it had to be broken. A likely scenario if Biden gets in office is breakup of USA. We all know the election was fixed there is a firehose of evidence, however only the people support Trump. 90% of institutions, those with power, billionaires, universities, the media, large corporations part of this conspiracy like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, etc - the oligarchs - they all support Biden. Also, alarmingly, China needs to expand and is happy to play their part in the overthrow of USA and will get their seat at the table, along with juicy US assets they need like factories, real estate, and a green light to take Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other land. The future has never been more unclear, as all this happens the big flaw in their plan is that it's impossible to hide in plain sight, so millions of people around the world and in the US, smart people, of various kinds - are watching this. In my opinion, their plan will not work. The world is too complex now, and the Elite are running their operation based on the 18th century model created by the original Colonists, Rothschilds, etc. The Elite are dinosaurs that eat 10 tons of leaves a day - Brontosaurus. They will be extinct in our lifetime - as we know them. Like the Royals, they will always be around, but they won't be running the show, they will be reduced to their lux ghettos and avoid public exposure. The reaction to political events here in USA will be extreme, once Trump leaves office. In America we had traditions for such high level political crimes like treason - which most of the Congress is guilty of - tar and feather. We would douse the offender with hot oil and throw chicken feathers on them, and tie them to the water well in the village, passersby throw tomatoes or garbage on them for days. We'll see some modern version of that, as well a peasant uprising targeting the political and business Elites, who feel betrayed by the theft of the election. American politics is no longer Democrat vs. Republican they are now one and the same party. It's Globalism vs. Nationalism, or if you will the Have's vs. the Have nots, or as some have commented Communism (Collectivism) vs. Individualism, which is the story of modern history.
Considering the fact that the US has backed many of these Color revolutions, and is the unofficial 'police' of the world, and manages the US Dollar which is the world reserve currency, having this scenario domestically raises many unknowns about the future. If the coup plotters do seize power on the 20th, and roll out the logistics for the great reset (forced vaccinations, concentration camps, authoritarian lockdowns) it's not clear how the other half of the US population will respond. What's clear is from the perspective of military strategy, dominating the US homeland is logistically impossible - rural areas are decentralized, well organized, well armed, and prepared. They have been preparing for such a scenario for 4 years, some for 20 years. Cities can be easily sealed and controlled, but that presents challenges too - what about a truckers protest? When food and other supplies are not showing up in cities (mostly controlled by Democrat or pro-Globalist governments) then what?
Once their hand is played and the population sees what this is really about, there will be a huge backlash and from many Democrats too (the people, not the Elite). The majority of Democrats in fact are simply brainwashed and have no idea their party has been hijacked by Communists and Globalists to further a larger agenda. Recent events have shown there is no difference between the parties, as Trump's "Republican" "Allies" like Lindsey Graham, tricky Mitch McConnell and even libertarian Rand Paul threw him under the bus when push came to shove. This push back will lead to real civil war 2, with the only end game being a breakup of USA - which is a pleasant outcome for the Globalists, because 5 countries in ruins are easier to control than 1 strong USA. Kosovo, Albania, Croatia and other countries were happy to leave the 'tyrannical' Yugoslavia run by pro-Slavic Josip Broz Tito, only to join a more tyrannical European Union, a superstate controlled by the European Elite including Rothschilds, EU Royals, billionaires, and would be dictators. The history of the origins of America is relevant to current events as to the demographic of the population. The Revolutionary War was a guerilla uprising, a grassroots rebellion against the tyranny and oppression (taxes, mostly) of the British Empire. Ample land but mostly free spirit provided cannon fodder that led to a British defeat (and a little help from the French and Russians). Our founding fathers can only be described as "Terrorists" by the British, who would hide in forests and take one shot every mile as the British marched to drums in fancy uniforms according to their military decorum. It was this free spirit that broke the chains of the Empire, but in our short history we became the Empire, and our population has become lazy, complacent, fat, and stupid. Like cancers that grow in the obese, powerful private interests have risen who influence current affairs more than ever before in history.
But talking about it is one thing, or writing books about it is another. Once these plans become implemented and are tangible, it will trigger the reaction.
