Dr. Steve Pieczenik interview: Trump will remain president, Pelosi Biden et al arrested, Former senior State Department official, Right about Clintons in 2016

“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.”…Abraham Lincoln

“Thus incited by President Trump, members of the crowd he had addressed, in an attempt to, among other objectives, interfere with the Joint Session’s solemn constitutional duty to certify the results of the 2020 Presidential election, unlawfully breached and vandalized the Capitol”…Articles of Impeachment

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”…Ephesians 6:12

 

Dr. Steve Pieczenik, on November 1, 2016, a week before the election, was right about the Clintons and was presented in a Citizen Wells article posted December 5, 2016.

“Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik, MD, PhD is a critically acclaimed author of psycho-political thrillers and the co-creator of the New York Times best-selling “Tom Clancy’s Op-Center” and “Tom Clancy’s Net Force” book series. He is also one of the world’s most experienced international crisis managers and hostage negotiators. His novels are based on his twenty years experience in resolving international crises for five U.S. administrations.

Dr. Pieczenik received his B.A. from Cornell University,trained in Psychiatry at Harvard and has both an M.D. from Cornell University Medical College and a Ph.D. in International Relations from M.I.T.

He was the first psychiatrist ever to receive a PhD. focusing on international relations, and is the only psychiatrist to ever have served as a Deputy Assistant Secretary of State. He served four presidents as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Bush Sr. and was a Senior Policy Planner under president Reagan. Dr. Pieczenik worked directly with, and reported directly to, Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, George Schultz and James Baker, as well as the respective White Houses. Dr. Pieczenik was drafted into the Vietnam War. He was assigned in the Public Health Services with the rank of Navy Captain (0-6) to run three psychiatric wards at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Washington, D.C., including a ward where serial killers were housed. He was subsequently offered a promotion to Rear Admiral (0-7), which he refused on the grounds that he felt honored enough to serve his country, did not want to take a pension and wished to return to civilian life to follow his passions as a physician, entrepreneur and novelist.

Dr. Pieczenik is an expert in psychological warfare, political psychology, regime change, intelligence, counterintelligence and covert operations. During his career as a senior State Department official, Dr. Pieczenik utilized his unique abilities and expertise to develop strategies and tactics that were instrumental in resolving major conflicts in Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, Europe and the United States.
Dr. Pieczenik was the principal International Crisis Manager and Hostage Negotiator under Secretaries Kissinger and Vance. During this time he developed conflict resolution techniques that were instrumental in saving over five hundred hostages in different terrorist episodes, including the Hanafi Muslim Siege in Washington, DC, the TWA Croatian Hijacking, the Aldo Moro Kidnapping, the JRA Hijacking, the PLO Hijacking, and many other incidents involving terrorists such as Idi Amin, Muammar Quaddafi, Carlos, FARC, Abu Nidal and Saddam Hussein. Based on these experiences, Dr. Pieczenik, along with other senior officials at the State Department developed the mandate to create Delta Force and other quick-strike special forces units that could be used in future hostage situations and international crises. Dr. Pieczenik resigned over President Carter’s handling of the Iran Hostage siege. He was recruited by Dr. Richard Solomon to the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica, CA to develop the strategy and tactics using the principles of psychological warfare to dismantle the Soviet Union without the use of military force.

He was subsequently recruited into the Reagan Policy Planning Staff at the State Department. While at the State Department, Dr. Pieczenik was tasked with creating and implementing regime change in Panama to overthrow General Manuel Noriega. As a result, General Noriega repeatedly accused Dr. Pieczenik in the Panamanian newspaper, La Critica, of being an “assassin” and neutralizing several of Noriega’s associates. This is a charge Dr. Pieczenik neither confirms nor denies.

Dr. Pieczenik helped develop negotiation strategies for major U.S.- Soviet arms control summits under the Reagan administration. He was also involved in advising senior officials on important psycho-political dynamics and conflict mediation strategies for President Carter’s successful Camp David Peace Conference. In 1991, Dr. Pieczenik was a chief architect of the Cambodian Peace Conference in Paris.

He has worked with Dr. Richard Solomon to develop the theoretical basis for the Chinese Negotiating Behavioral Strategy, a classic in transcultural negotiations.

Dr. Pieczenik continues to volunteer his time and expertise as a consultant to the Department of Defense. He does not accept any remuneration for his services. He felt honored to work for his country that adopted him as a refugee and saved his family from extermination in the Holocaust. He has made it his life-long commitment to work to protect and preserve America’s liberties and freedoms, even when it meant going against the president of the United States and the very organizations with which he was working. To this day he still strongly believes in the integrity of the Office of the Presidency and the Republic, both of which must be bereft of corruption, deception, betrayal, collusion and crony capitalism by any and all parties, including financial, political, medical, pharmaceutical and academic special interests. His basic belief is that no one person is indispensable to the viability of State.

Dr. Pieczenik has started several successful companies, employing his methodologies in various industries, including investment banking, publishing, television/film and medicine. He has been directly involved as an Angel Investor with starting twenty-eight companies.”

In the following recent video, Dr. Pieczenik claims that President Trump will remain in office and that Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden and others will be arrested.

Is this why Pelosi has been so frantic to remove Trump from office?

President Trump impeachment vote, 10 “Republicans” are toast and Pelosi et al must be removed, Voted for a treasonous criminally crafted articles charges

“Our Constitution is in actual operation; everything appears to promise that it will last; but nothing in this world is certain but death and taxes.” … Benjamin Franklin

“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.”…Abraham Lincoln

“These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.”…Thomas Paine

 

We know that the wicked witch of the west, evil crazy Nancy Pelosi must be removed.

Democrats of the evil un American Democrat Party must be voted out.

  • Fred Upton of Michigan
  • Dan Newhouse of Washington
  • Herrera Beutler of Washington
  • Tom Rice of South Carolina
  • David Valadao of California
  • Peter Meijer of Michigan

I am committed to getting these un American House members removed.

Pray for this country and getting rid of the evil members of congress.

And by the way, there must be some dirt on them.

Let’s find it.

Greensboro News Record spews leftist lies about Trump rally, Democrats and fake media mostly responsible, Citizen Wells official start of cleanse the news with truth

Greensboro News Record spews leftist lies about Trump rally, Democrats and fake media mostly responsible, Citizen Wells official start of cleanse the news with truth

“And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed
–if all records told the same tale–then the lie passed into
history and became truth. “Who controls the past,” ran the
Party slogan, “controls the future: who controls the present
controls the past.”…George Orwell, “1984″

“”You’re a traitor!” yelled the boy. “You’re a thought criminal!””...George Orwell, “1984”

“We are being lied to on a scale unimaginable by George Orwell.”…Citizen Wells

 

Classic fake news media, the Big Brother of the corrupt Democrat Party.

Tell a big lie and keep repeating it and blame the Republicans for all of the bad deeds committed by Democrats.

Such it is with the Trump Rally and the misreporting of what took place.

So it is with the biased corrupt Greensboro News Record.

I delivered and collected for that disgusting Orwellian mouthpiece.

Not all of the corruption and lies come from Democrats.

RINO Richard Burr, who thank God is not running again, is just as misinformed and corrupt as the Democrats.

The March was initiated to stop the rampant steal of the election by Democrats assisted by the fake news media.

The Media has consistently lied about Trump including the fake Russian collusion narrative.

They also kept the Hunter and Joe Biden story hidden.

And recently they suppressed the widespread well documented voter fraud and election irregularities.

This rally never would have happened if the media had reported the truth.

And yes, it has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that ANTIFA was present and caused most of the mayhem and destruction.

Another arm of the Democrat Party.

From the Greensboro New Record Opinion January 8, 2021 (if you can stomach it)

“An Insurrection in Washington

Whatever good anyone may perceive him accomplishing, President Trump is now likely to be remembered best for inspiring the violent siege at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

The siege, performed by insurrectionists who hoped to somehow overturn the 2020 presidential election, resulted in the death of one, possibly contributed to the death of three others, and led to the lockdown and evacuation of congressional members and their staff.

In addition, live explosive devices resembling pipe bombs were found near the headquarters of the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee, near the Capitol grounds.

It’s difficult to emphasize just how serious this attack is — to democracy, to American government, to America itself. And it’s sick, frankly, that it was performed by and inspired by people who portray themselves as patriots — especially with the encouragement, pleasure and praise of the outgoing president of the United States.

We agree with our own Sen. Richard Burr, who said in a statement, “The president bears responsibility for today’s events by promoting the unfounded conspiracy theories that have led to this point. It is past time to accept the will of American voters and to allow our nation to move forward.””

“So the white supremacist fight club Proud Boys and similar groups that often indulge in violent rhetoric; train with militias and brandish weapons; gather in D.C. after hearing Donald Trump Jr. tell members of Congress who weren’t going to vote to overturn the election, “We’re coming for you,” dressed for trouble; attend a rally in which Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani calls for “trial by combat”; follow Trump’s order to march to the Capitol; scuffle with police and break through windows and locked doors — but we’re supposed to think that antifa was behind the violence. Right.

Shifting the blame to innocent scapegoats has historical precedent of which we should all be aware.”
I have told friends for years that I intend to piss on the metaphorical grave of the News Record when it goes under.

I hope to expedite their demise.

This is the official notification of efforts to end the evil reign of this Orwellian organization and replace it with one that holds to a standard of truth.

Get everyone you know to spread the word and cancel their subscription.

If you live somewhere else, I urge you to do likewise with your local counterpart.

Seth Rich DNC leaks bombshell, Seymour Hersh court deposition filed Oct 2, 2020 affirms 2017 statements:  Seth Rich Involvement and John Brennan role

Seth Rich DNC leaks bombshell, Seymour Hersh court deposition filed Oct 2, 2020 affirms 2017 statements:  Seth Rich Involvement and John Brennan role

“the Democratic Party overlooked the ethical red flags and made a pact with Mr. Clinton that was the equivalent of a pact with the devil. And he delivered. With Mr. Clinton at the controls, the party won the White House twice. But in the process it lost its bearings and maybe even its soul.”…Bob Herbert, NY Times February 26, 2001

“They found, what he had done, he [Seth Rich] had submitted a series of documents, emails from DNC — and, by the way, all this shit about the DNC, you know, was it a ‘hack’ or wasn’t it a ‘hack’ — whatever happened, it was the Democrats themselves wrote this shit, you know what I mean? All I know is that, he offered a sample, he sends a sample, you know, I am sure dozens of emails, and said ‘I want money’. Later Wikileaks did get the password [SETH RICH DID SELL WIKILEAKS ACCESS INTO HIS COMPUTER.] He had a drop-box, a [password-]protected drop-box, which isn’t hard to do.”…Seymour Hersh

“If This Story Gets Out, We Are Screwed”…Wikileaks: Doug Band to John Podesta

 

Since the 2016 elections we have depended on the following to find the truth about who leaked the DNC docs, the Trump administration, Hillary Campaign and Obama Administrations roles and General Micchael Flynn’s guilt or innocence.

  1. Mainstream media.
  2. Justice Department investigations.
  3. Prosecutions/Persecutions of Michael Flynn, et al.
  4. Lawsuits.
  5. Non mainstream media, “citizen journalism.”

Mainstream media: Not only were they not helpful, they generally colluded with deep state and media forces to mislead and lie to the public. Tell the big lie and keep repeating it.

Justice Department: Deep State and Obama administration holdovers controlled the Justice Dept. and worked with the mainstream media to create an Orwellian type narrative of Russian collusion, involvement in the DNC leaks and guilt of Michael Flynn, et al. It has only been through the efforts of some in Congress and revelations from the Flynn and Seth Rich court and FOIA revelations as well as the growing concerns from Attorney General Barr that finally got the truth ball rolling.

Michael Flynn prosecution and multiple Seth Rich lawsuits: Private sector attorneys such as Sidney Powell and Ty Clevenger were able to bring Justice Dept. chicanery into the light of day helping to awaken the Attorney General. Numerous FOIA requests were enlightening despite repeated efforts by staff such as FBI’s David M Hardy to kept records hidden.

Non mainstream media: Citizen Journalists, smaller media outlets, investigative entities like Judicial Watch, and independent journalists like Seymour Hersh played a crucial role in revealing the truth.

Bombshell News.

Some of you will get this, some may not.

Please read and digest the following carefully.

Seymour Hersh:

“Seymour M. Hersh, a Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter, author and regular contributor to The New Yorker magazine, is this year’s William Allen White Foundation National Citation recipient.

Hersh’s journalism and publishing awards include the 1970 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting for exposing the My Lai massacre and cover up during the Vietnam War, in 1969. He has also received five George Polk Awards, two National Magazine Awards, and more than a dozen other prizes for investigative reporting.

In 2004, Hersh exposed the Abu Ghraib prison scandal in a series of pieces in The New Yorker. Early in 2005, he received the National Magazine Award for Public Interest, an Overseas Press Club award, the National Press Foundation’s W. M. Kiplinger Distinguished Contributions to Journalism award, and his fifth George W. Polk award, making him that award’s most honored laureate.

Hersh also has won two Investigative Reporters & Editors prizes, one for “The Price of Power,” in 1983, and the other for “The Samson Option,” a study of American foreign policy and the Israeli nuclear bomb program, in 1992. In 2004, Hersh won a National Magazine Award for public interest for his pieces “Lunch with the Chairman,” “Selective Intelligence,” and “The Stovepipe.”

Ed Butowsky.

Became embroiled in Seth Rich controversies beginning in 2016. He is both a plaintiff and defendant in lawsuits involving the Seth Rich family.

He has also been attacked by the mainstream media for questioning their Orwellian narrative regarding the DNC leaks and Seth Rich’s possible involvement.

Caution: Suspend any tendencies you may have for messenger shooting and disregard any preconceived ideas planted in your brain by the media. Examine the following facts.

First of all, Ed Butowsky had contact with Ellen Ratner soon after she met with Julian Assange late in 2016. She allegedly told him that the DNC leaker was an insider and he has alleged he was told Seth Rich. Ratner has admitted her claim in public. Ellen Ratner, after numerous subpoena attempts, has been engaged for a court ordered deposition.

The following is from a phone conversation Ed Butowsky had with Seymour Hersh in 2017:

“What I know comes off an FBI Report … The kid [Seth Rich was] … a nice boy,
twenty-seven. He was not an IT expert, but he learned stuff. He was a data
programmer … Here’s what nobody knows … when you have a death like that,
DC cops … have to get to the kid’s apartment and see what you can find … so
they get a warrant … They go in the house and they can’t do much with his
computer … They have a cyber unit in DC, and they’re more sophisticated. They
come and look at it. The idea is that maybe he’s had a series of exchanges with
somebody who’s said ‘I’m going to kill you, you motherfucker’ … and they can’t
get in … So, they call the FBI cyber unit. The DC … Washington Field Office is
a hot shit unit … There’s a cyber unit there that’s excellent … The Feds get
through and here’s what they find. This is according to the FBI Report … What
the Report says is that sometime in late Spring … early Summer, he [Seth Rich]
makes contact with WikiLeaks. That’s in his computer … They found what he
had done. He had submitted a series of documents … juicy emails from the DNC
… He [Seth Rich] offered a sample, an extensive sample … of emails, and said I
want money. Later, WikiLeaks did get the password. He had a … protected
dropbox … He also, and this is in the FBI Report, he also let people know with
whom he was dealing … The word was passed, according to the FBI Report, ‘I
also shared this box with a couple of friends, so if anything happens to me, it’s not
going to solve your problems’ … WikiLeaks got access before he was killed.”

Because Hersh is such a respected journalist with extensive contacts, what he stated had to be taken seriously.

It was used in the following lawsuit.

ED Butowsky NPR, et al.

https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/7244731/butowsky-v-folkenflik/

At that point , we had statements from respected journalist Seymour Hersh used in a lawsuit, subject to question in the light of day.

The game changer, the bombshell, happened in a court filing from October 2, 2020 in

Aaron Rich v Ed Butowsky, et al.

From Citizen Wells October 3, 2020.

Seymour Hersh Deposition filed October 2, 2020.

·”BY MR. QUAINTON:

Seymour Hersh, in a sworn deposition affirmed what he stated in 2017.

This is monumental.

What he also stated in his 2017 conversation, especially in light of subsequent events, is very powerful.

“I have somebody on the inside, you know I’ve been around a long time, somebody who will go and read a file for me, who, this person is unbelievably accurate and careful, he’s a very high-level guy, he’ll do a favor, you’re just going to have to trust me, I have what they call in my business, long-form journalism, I have a narrative, of how that whole fucking thing began.
(5:50)  – It’s a Brennan operation. It was an American disinformation, and the fucking President, at one point when they even started telling the press — they were back[ground]-briefing the press, the head of the NSA was going and telling the press, the fucking cocksucker Rogers, telling the press that we [they] even know who in the Russian military intelligence service leaked it. All bullshit. They were telling. I worked at the New York Times those fucking years, they’re smart guys, but they’re totally beholden on [to] sources. If the President or the head of the CIA tells them something, they actually believe it. I retired at the Times at the end of the Vietnam War 1972, because they were just locked-in. So that’s what the Times is, these guys run the fuckin’ Times, and Trump’s not wrong, I wish he would calm down, get a better press secretary, you know, not be so — Trump’s not wrong to think they all fucking lied about him.”

From the Letter to Lindsey Graham from John Ratcliffe, Director of National Intelligence, September 29, 2020.

“Chairman Graham,
SEP 2 9 2020
In response to your request for Intelligence Community (IC) information related to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Crossfire Hurricane Investigation, I have declassified the following:
• In late July 2016, U.S. intelligence agencies obtained insight into Russian intelligence analysis alleging that U.S. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had approved a campaign plan to stir up a scandal against U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump by tying him to Putin and the Russians’ hacking of the Democratic National Committee. The IC does not know the accuracy of this allegation or the extent to which the Russian intelligence analysis may reflect exaggeration or fabrication.
• According to his handwritten notes, former Central Intelligence Agency Director Brennan subsequently briefed President Obama and other senior national security officials on the intelligence, including the “alleged approval by Hillary Clinton on July 26, 2016 of a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services.”
• On 07 September 2016, U.S. intelligence officials forwarded an investigative referral to FBI Director James Corney and Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence Peter Strzok regarding “U.S. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s approval of a plan concerning U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private mail server.”

From the John Podesta testimony December 4, 2017.

“MR. PODESTA: —

The Fusion principals — I assume that was Mr. Simpson and Mr. Fritsch,
although I don’t know that — approached Mr. Elias in April, I believe, of 2016 and told him that they had been working for essentially a Republican entity during the course of the Republican primaries, developing information on Mr. Trump. And they were seeking to continue that work and were seeking a contract from Perkins Coie, which had the authority to contract with outside vendors to do research on behalf of the campaign. And that relationship was entered into, I believe, in April of 2016 and extended till October 31st of 2016.”

“MR. PODESTA: — and a separate arrangement with the campaign.
But the payments to Fusion, as I understand from their statements at the
end of October, were that those payments to their vendor were paid for 50 percent from the DNC and 50 percent from the campaign.
MR. CONAWAY: Okay. Fusion GPS was a 50-50 split?
MR. PODESTA: Yes.”

Seth Rich coverup Part 4, Donna Brazile, Mayor Bowser, Amy Dacey names resurface in Matthew Couch subpoena motion, Brazile lie? If so why?

Seth Rich coverup Part 4, Donna Brazile, Mayor Bowser, Amy Dacey names resurface in Matthew Couch subpoena motion, Brazile lie? If so why?

“Ms. Sines’s testimony flatly contradicts the FBI’s claims that (1) it did not investigate matters pertaining to Mr. Rich; (2) it did not examine his computer; and (3) it conducted a “reasonable” search but could not locate any records or communications about Mr. Rich. Specifically, Ms. Sines’s testimony flatly contradicts the affidavit testimony of FBI Section Chief David M. Hardy.”…Attorney Ty Clevenger March 29, 2020

“The FBI clearly has records pertaining to Seth Rich, and it has withheld those
records in bad faith.”…Attorney Ty Clevenger October 11, 2019

” So why would a “street robbery” investigation need to be classified?”…Attorney Ty Clevenger July 22, 2020

 

You may not have heard much about Donna Brazile, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, John Podesta, Certainly not Amy Dacey and their ties to Seth Rich and his mysterious death lately.

Old news? Definitely not.

Most of their names resurfaced a few days ago in filings from Matthew Couch, one of the defendants in Aaron Rich v Ed Butowsky, Matthew Couch and  America’First Media.

From Citizen Wells September 27, 2020.

“MOTION TO COMPEL

“Defendant Matthew Couch served a subpoena on Detective Joseph DellaCamera of the Metropolitan Police Department (“MPD”) in Washington, D.C. seeking the following:

Of the prominent players tied to the DNC leaks, who had the biggest reasons to silence the leaker and was Seth Rich involved?

Clinton camp? 

From a John Podesta email on Hillary’s reaction: “she is whipped up on actual damage.”   https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/35361

David Schippers in October 21, 2016 interview by Sandy Rios on American Family Association radio: Hillary: “If you want to talk about real evil, it’s her”

DNC?

Anyone affiliated with could be suspect.

John Podesta?

“I’m definitely for making an example of a suspected leaker whether or not we have any real basis for it.”   https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/36082

Donna Brazile?

Damaged severely by DNC leak revelations and acted strangely.

  • Apparently lied about being out of town July 10, 2016 when the murder of Seth Rich took place. She left for Seattle later in the day. Why lie?
  • Was outed for giving Hillary Clinton debate question(s).
  • CNN severed ties with her.
  • Stated: “these sad ass whipper leakers try to slow my groove”
  • Matt Drudge: “Brazile writes she was haunted by murder of DNC Seth Rich, and feared for her own life, shutting the blinds so snipers could not see her ?” Did she know it was an assassination and perhaps who ordered it?

The following facts and/or allegations surrounding Brazile are interesting:

  • Some believe that Brazile and DC Mayor Bowser are married. They are nevertheless close.
  • It has been alleged that Brazile and Bowser were present at the hospital Seth Rich was taken to.
  • All indications were that Rich was stable at the hospital and expected to live.
  • Allegedly, a nurse that worked in the ICU said that Seth made it through surgery and was expected to pull through until the next day when D.C. Police and other individuals came barging in, CLEARED THE ICU OF MEDICAL STAFF(For some reason)! and then he died!
  • Allegedly, from 4th year surgery resident: “No one here was allowed to see Seth except for my attending when he died. No code was called. I rounded on patients literally next door but was physically blocked from checking in on him. I’ve never seen anything like it before, and while I can’t say 100% that he was allowed to die, I don’t understand why he was treated like that. Take it how you may, /pol/, I’m just one low level doc. Something’s fishy though, that’s for sure.”
  • It has been alleged that Brazile tried to stifle an investigation by the DC police.
  • Homicide detective Rod Wheeler: “The high-ranking DNC official that called the police after I inquired about Rich’s case was Donna Brazile,”
  • Washington DC Police Chief Cathy Lanier resigned August 16, 2016 later stating:   “The criminal justice system in this city is broken,”
  • News media Fox and others were sued by the Rich family. Joel, Mary and Aaron. High powered law firms have been employed.

 

Clearly, the people subpoenaed by Matthew Couch need to be questioned.

Clearly, if the DOJ and Durham are not investigating the Seth Rich murder and possible involvement in the DNC leaks, we have a huge problem.

We now know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the forces of the Deep State, the Obama Administration, the DOJ, the DNC, et al have actively been suppressing and obfuscating events and facts leading up to and following the 2016 election to protect their asses and try to destroy President Trump.

With the clarity of this knowledge and 20/20 hindsight, the actions of those above are more understandable and plausible.

Why in God’s name did Fox take on Brazile as a contributor?

She has been in league with many of the forces aligned against Fox and the truth about Seth Rich.

Did Amy Dacey out Seth Rich as the leaker?

“Seth Rich was suspected of leaking the DNC’s emails to Wikileaks. It’s likely that Amy Dacey, the DNC’s CEO found out that Seth was the leaker. She informed John Podesta, Hillary’s Campaign Manager,. He responded, I’m”definitely for making an example out of a suspected leaker, whether or not we have any real basis for it.”

Reading between the lines here, but if DNC insider and interim Chair Donna Brazile  truly believed that Seth Rich was randomly mugged in his  neighborhood at 4:20 AM, her paranoia would not exist.

This may be the ultimate inside story that Brazile knew about, but as is her MO, kept under wraps.  She will likely remain haunted until she comes clean. ”

Flynn appeal rehearing en banc oral arguments listen live August 11, 2020, US Court of Appeals DC District, Judges Srinivasan, Henderson, Rogers, Tatel, Garland, Griffith, Millett, Pillard, Wilkins, Rao

“Instead of doing so, the government has continued to defy its
constitutional, ethical and legal obligations to this Court and to the defense, and to hide evidence that it knows exonerates Mr. Flynn. As is the essence of the problem here, instead of protecting its citizens, the “government” is protecting its own criminal conduct and operatives.”…Attorney Sidney Powell October

“Ms. Sines’s testimony flatly contradicts the FBI’s claims that (1) it did not investigate matters pertaining to Mr. Rich; (2) it did not examine his computer; and (3) it conducted a “reasonable” search but could not locate any records or communications about Mr. Rich. Specifically, Ms. Sines’s testimony flatly contradicts the affidavit testimony of FBI Section Chief David M. Hardy.”…Attorney Ty Clevenger March 29, 2020

“I repeatedly asked U.S. Attorney John Durham and DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz to investigate whether Mr. Hardy lied under oath, and in an April 22, 2020 letter Mr. Horowitz wrote that he referred my complaint to the FBI’s Inspection Division. Was Mr. Hardy forced out?”…Attorney Ty Clevenger July 22, 2020

 

From the US Court of Appeals DC District July 30, 2020.

The final pretrial conference is scheduled for January 31, 2020.

The Ed Butowsky lawsuit filed June 21, 2018 is loaded with facts and allegations regarding Seth Rich and his possible involvement in the DNC leak.

From the lawsuit:

“65. On March 1, 2017, Wheeler told Butowsky that he (Wheeler) had independently acquired some “dynamic information” from one of his sources, the “lead detective” on the Seth Rich murder case. Wheeler also claimed that he had learned and knew who was “blocking the [murder] investigation”. Wheeler texted Butowsky as follows:

Wheeler told Butowsky that he was meeting with “2 inside contacts” on March 2, 2017.”

“69. In the interview, Wheeler claimed that he had been investigating the murder of Seth Rich over the “past three weeks”.
“[T]here has been a lot of reward money that’s been offered for any information. No one has come forward. So here is the thing that is so important to realize whenever you have a lot of reward money, in this case it is over $125,000, and you don’t have anyone coming forward with information. Then what that tells you as an investigator is that maybe you need to start looking at another cause or another reason as to why this guy was killed and that’s what we’re doing now. We’re looking at uh possibly of course a street robbery, but it could, and I underline the word could, it could have been related, his death to his job, it could have been related to something else. what I don’t think it was related to though Allison is this Russian hacking thing.”
(Emphasis added). After the interviewer pointed out to Wheeler that people were “hinting at the fact that perhaps Seth Rich may have given some documents [to Wikileaks]”, Wheeler, voluntarily and of his own free will, stated as follows:
“Well a lot of people have made that same observation and you have to ask yourself what is the motivation behind a person wanting to get involved and offer reward money, maybe he’s just a good guy and he has a lot of money laying around so this how he wants to spend his money, but you have to be careful though when you start throwing out these conspiracy theories, they actually don’t help the investigation at all… I haven’t found one shred of evidence at all that indicates that Seth’s death is the result of any Russian hacking or anything like that. I do think it’s possible and I underline the word possible that it could have been related to his job to some degree or relationships with the job, don’t know that for sure but for investigators we have to go down every path until we can determine who was responsible for his death”.”

“WHEELER: Absolutely, yeah, and that’s confirmed. Actually, I have a source in the police department that has looked at me straight in the eye and said ‘Rod we were told to stand down in this case and I can’t share any information with you’. Now that is highly unusual for a murder investigation, especially from a police department. Again, I don’t think it comes from the Chief’s office, but I do believe there is a correlation between the Mayor’s office and the DNC, and that’s the information that is going to come out tomorrow.”
(Emphasis added). When asked by a Fox 5 DC anchor whether there would be “evidence” to prove the statements made by Wheeler, Marraco stated as follows:
“MARINA MARRACO: … Rod Wheeler, the investigator, assures us Fox 5 and assures Fox News that there’s a full report that contains information that will show how many times Seth Rich made contact with Wikileaks and will show exactly when this communication took place.””

“128. In an audio recording published on July 11, 2017, Hersh provided the following statement:

“What I know comes off an FBI Report … The kid [Seth Rich was] … a nice boy, twenty-seven. He was not an IT expert, but he learned stuff. He was a data programmer … Here’s what nobody knows … when you have a death like that, DC cops … have to get to the kid’s apartment and see what you can find … so they get a warrant … They go in the house and they can’t do much with his computer … They have a cyber unit in DC, and they’re more sophisticated. They come and look at it. The idea is that maybe he’s had a series of exchanges with somebody who’s said ‘I’m going to kill you, you motherfucker’ … and they can’t get in … So, they call the FBI cyber unit. The DC … Washington Field Office is a hot shit unit … There’s a cyber unit there that’s excellent … The Feds get through and here’s what they find. This is according to the FBI Report … What the Report says is that sometime in late Spring … early Summer, he [Seth Rich] makes contact with WikiLeaks. That’s in his computer … They found what he had done. He had submitted a series of documents … juicy emails from the DNC … He [Seth Rich] offered a sample, an extensive sample … of emails, and said I want money. Later, WikiLeaks did get the password. He had a … protected dropbox … He also, and this is in the FBI Report, he also let people know with whom he was dealing … The word was passed, according to the FBI Report, ‘I also shared this box with a couple of friends, so if anything happens to me, it’s not going to solve your problems’ … WikiLeaks got access before he was killed.””

This lawsuit will probably be settled out of court.

However, it is significant because in a legal document, filed with the court, unsealed, in the light of day, we have extensive allegations of the attempts made by the Fake News Media, the DNC, et al to cover up the truth behind the murder of Seth Rich and his possible involvement in the DNC leaks.

Heard much about this from the Fake New Media?

Seth Rich was murdered, Who murdered Rich and why?, Why are Media Matters and other left organizations attacking Hannity and others asking questions?, Why did Wikileaks offer a reward?, It all points to Rich murder for leaks

“I know that Seth Rich was involved in the DNC leak.”…Kim Dotcom

“Let me tell you something. They were all over that woman,”
“And it was the type of stuff we ran into with the outfit (the Chicago mob). Intimidation just by watching her, making their presence known. … Just to let her know ‘We can do what we want.’ ”…Attorney David Schippers, Clinton investigator

 

A good rule of thumb: If Media Matters attacks someone and tries to repudiate their message, the person or persons attacked and the message are true.

Here are some of the facts about the Seth Rich murder that are irrefutable:

  • Seth Rich was murdered.
  • Very doubtful that it was a robbery.
  • Wikileaks offered a $ 20,000 reward for information about the murder.
  • Why did Wikileaks offer a reward?
  • Why are Media Matters and other left leaning left funded organizations going to such lengths to discredit Sean Hannity and anyone else asking questions? “The lady doth protest too much.”
  • Why is the DNC and left so focused on the Russian Narrative?
  • Julian Assange all but named Rich as the source of the leaks.
  • Seth Rich had access to the data.
  • Kim Dotcom stated that Set Rich was the source.

These are but a few of the compelling facts surrounding this case.

If you believe that Rich’s murder and possible involvement in the leaks should not be questioned, you just don’t care or you’re an idiot.

Obama economy worsens, Highest poverty rate, Unemployment claims rise, Unemployment rate 9.1 percent, Gas prices high, Obama wants to raise taxes on business

Obama, et al are ruining this country and it’s economy. Today we learn from the US Labor Department.

“UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE WEEKLY CLAIMS REPORT

          SEASONALLY ADJUSTED DATA

In the week ending September 10, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 428,000, an increase of 11,000 from the previous week’s revised figure of 417,000. The 4-week moving average was 419,500, an increase of 4,000 from the previous week’s revised average of 415,500.”

http://www.dol.gov/opa/media/press/eta/ui/eta20111330.htm

The US Census Bureau just reported.
“Another 2.6 million people slipped into poverty in the United States last year, the Census Bureau reported Tuesday, and the number of Americans living below the official poverty line, 46.2 million people, was the highest number in the 52 years the bureau has been publishing figures on it.

And in new signs of distress among the middle class, median household incomes fell last year to levels last seen in 1996.

Economists pointed to a telling statistic: It was the first time since the Great Depression that median household income, adjusted for inflation, had not risen over such a long period, said Lawrence Katz, an economics professor at Harvard.

“This is truly a lost decade,” Mr. Katz said. “We think of America as a place where every generation is doing better, but we’re looking at a period when the median family is in worse shape than it was in the late 1990s.”

The bureau’s findings were worse than many economists expected, and brought into sharp relief the toll the past decade — including the painful declines of the financial crisis and recession —had taken on Americans at the middle and lower parts of the income ladder. It is also fresh evidence that the disappointing economic recovery has done nothing for the country’s poorest citizens.

The report said the percentage of Americans living below the poverty line last year, 15.1 percent, was the highest level since 1993. (The poverty line in 2010 for a family of four was $22,314.)”

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/14/us/14census.html

The reported unemployment rate remains at 9.1 %.

“THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION — AUGUST 2011
Nonfarm payroll employment was unchanged (0) in August, and the unemployment rate held at 9.1 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.
Employment in most major industries changed little over the month.”

The tax and spend policies of Obama and his cronies are a huge part of why this economy is tanking. Obama is more concerned about getting reelected than he is  the lives of ordinary struggling Americans. He speaks of creating jobs (with the worst past performance on record) and raising taxes on businesses to do so. The next part is important. Pay Attention!

Businesses do not pay taxes. Consumers do!

Taxes are part of the cost of doing business. When taxes are raised, some combination of the following will occur:

1. Prices will be raised.

2. Employees will be let go or have reduced hours.

3. Hiring will be diminished.

We have enough revenue. Cut spending!

Gasoline Prices

One of the biggest, if not biggest drains on the economy, one exacerbated by Obama and his cronies, is gasoline prices. This affects the cost of everything and is killing our economy. The left are so  concerned about theoretical environmental damage and emulating Europeans that they disregard the plight of average Americans. Below is a chart showing the rise in fuel prices during the Obama reign.

I am all for alternative energy initiatives that make sense and are not in place to enrich Obama supporters. In fact, I have done so myself with my own limited funds. However, gasoline prices are hurting this economy and the poor and middle class citizens who the Democrats pretend to represent.

Drill baby drill!

Obama jobs speech, September 8, 2011, Joint session of Congress, More shovel ready jobs?, More Obama promises, More Obama spending

Obama jobs speech, September 8, 2011, Joint session of Congress, More shovel ready jobs?, More Obama promises, More Obama spending

***  UPDATE BELOW  ***

From the Chicago Tribune September 8, 2011.

“President Barack Obama will lay out a jobs
package worth more than $300 billon on Thursday, staking his
re-election hopes on a call for urgent bipartisan action to revive the
faltering economy.

With his poll numbers sliding to new lows amid voter frustration with
9.1 percent unemployment, Obama will make tax cuts for middle-class
households and businesses the centerpiece of the plan and will press
for new spending to repair roads, bridges and other deteriorating
infrastructure.

He will use his televised speech before a joint session of the U.S.
Congress, at 7 p.m. EDT, to urge passage of those measures by
year-end.

If congressional Republicans reject his remedies, his strategy will be
to paint them as obstructionists and blame them for the stagnating
economy.

Stubbornly high unemployment has heightened fears that the economy
could be headed for another recession. Net employment growth
registered zero in August as a budget standoff in Washington and the
European debt crisis spooked businesses and consumers.

Obama is under intense pressure to change perceptions that he has
shown weak leadership. His economic stewardship has been criticized by
both Republicans and fellow Democrats, casting a cloud over his
prospects for re-election in November 2012.”

“Republicans have derided an $800 billion economic stimulus package
that Obama pushed through Congress in 2009 as wasteful spending and
have pushed for immediate cuts in the deficit.

Democrats say that while long-term deficits must be addressed, the
economy needs a short-term fiscal boost.

Media reports have put the size of Obama’s jobs package at upward of
$300 billion. CNN quoted sources saying it could top $400 billion. The
White House would not confirm the reports.”

“Republican Senator Lamar Alexander said Obama should take
responsibility for making the economy worse.

“Unemployment is worse, housing is worse, the debt is worse, and he’s
done all that by throwing a big wet blanket over the economy with his
regulatory, tax and healthcare policies,” he said.”

What Obama stated on March 3, 2009.
    “Two weeks ago, I signed into law the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act, the most sweeping economic recovery plan in history.
 And already, its impact is being felt across this nation.
Hardworking families can now worry a little less about next month’s
bills because of the tax cut they’ll soon find in the mail.  Renewable
energy companies that were once downsizing are now finding ways to
expand.  And transportation projects that were once on hold are now
starting up again — as part of the largest new investment in
America’s infrastructure since President Eisenhower built the
Interstate Highway System.

    Of the 3.5 million jobs that will be created and saved over the
next two years as a result of this recovery plan, 400,000 will be jobs
rebuilding our crumbling roads, bridges, and schools, repairing our
faulty levees and dams, connecting nearly every American to broadband,
and upgrading the buses and trains that commuters take every day.
Many of these projects will be coordinated by Secretary LaHood and all
of you at the Department of Transportation.  And I want you to know
that the American public is grateful to public servants like you —
men and women whose work isn’t always recognized, but whose jobs are
critical to our nation’s safety, security, and prosperity.  You have
never been more important than you are right now, and for that we are
all grateful.  (Applause.)

    Now, in the coming days and weeks, my administration will be
announcing more details about the kinds of transportation projects
that will be launched as part of the recovery plan.  But today, I want
to speak about an investment we are making in one part of our
infrastructure.  Through the Recovery Act, we will be investing $28
billion in our highways, money that every one of our 50 states can
start using immediately to put people back to work.  It’s an
investment being made at an unprecedented pace, thanks in large part
to Joe Biden, who’s leading the effort to get the money out the door
quickly.  Because of Joe, and because of all the governors and mayors,
county and city officials who are helping implement this plan, I can
say that 14 days after I signed our Recovery Act into law, we are
seeing shovels hit the ground.”

“Now, we have another responsibility.  Having inherited a
trillion-dollar deficit that we’re working to cut in half, we also
need to ensure that tax dollars aren’t wasted on projects that don’t
deliver results.  And that’s why, as part of his duty, Joe will keep
an eye on how precious tax dollars are being spent.  To you, he’s Mr.
Vice President, but around the White House, we call him the Sheriff —
(laughter) — because if you’re misusing taxpayer money, you’ll have
to answer to him.”

From The Blaze October 13, 2010.

“Obama: ‘No Such Thing’ as a Shovel-Ready Job”
“The president has offered a number of his own “serious proposals,” not
the least of which was the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act.
The underwhelming fallout from the $787 billion investment is one of
many reasons the American public is challenging the Democratic
leadership this year.

In reflecting on his time in office, the president laments that he
looks too much like “the same old tax-and-spend Democrat,“ and
realized that ”there’s no such thing as shovel-ready projects.”

But the promise of these “shovel-ready” jobs was one of the Democrats’
main selling points in lobbying for the stimulus plan. In December
2008, the then-President-elect Obama pledged, “We’ve got shovel-ready
projects all across the country that governors and mayors are pleading
to fund.  And the minute we can get those investments to the state
level, jobs are going to be created.”  Just one day later, the
president-elect presented his ideas for a “bold agenda” of
“shovel-ready projects,” promising the creation of 2.5 million new
jobs when he took office.”
In March 2009, President Obama boasted that just “14 days after I
signed our Recovery Act into law we are seeing shovels hit the
ground.”

“At the same time, Vice President Joe Biden, the White House’s de facto
stimulus shepherd, said the stimulus act “provides a necessary jolt to
our economy to implement what we refer [to] as ‘shovel-ready’
projects, meaning projects that were on the books that were needed in
the municipalities and the states that would improve the quality of
life for our constituents, the competitiveness of our businesses, but
were unable to be funded.”

Months later when the economy hadn’t begun to turn around, Obama
continued to promise “shovel-ready” jobs.  In August he bragged that
the stimulus helped fund “almost 100 shovel-ready transportation
projects… which are beginning to create jobs.”

A year later, Biden continues to parrot the White House’s claims that
“shovel-ready” projects were putting Americans to work, despite
stagnate unemployment levels.  “Last summer… we had 1,750 highway
projects that were underway — ‘shovel-ready,’” he said this summer.”

*** Update from the Guardian September 9, 2011 7:45 AM ***

“President Obama’s jobs speech to Congress – as it happened”

“9.10pm: Here’s a summary of tonight’s speech on jobs by Obama:

• Barack Obama unveiled his American Jobs Act, designed to boost employment and costing $447bn. Obama repeatedly urged Congress to “pass this jobs plan right away”

• The bulk of the plan is for $245bn in reduced payroll taxes, designed to make it cheaper for business to hire new staff, as well as spending on building infrastructure and education, including funds to retain teachers and retraining for the long-term unemployed

• Under the act, an average American family would receive a tax cut of $1,500 in 2012

• Economists said the plan, if adopted in full, could support two million new jobs and cut the unemployment rate from 9% down towards 8%

• But the plan contained little to address the crushing burden of America’s housing market, and for that reason was rejected as “inadequate” by some economists

• Republican leaders gave a tepid but civil welcome to Obama’s speech, without offering specific support, although more conservative Republicans remained staunchly opposed to any new spending

• The new spending and lower revenue would have to be offset by further cuts to the federal budget under the recent debt ceiling deal, to be identified by the congressional “super committee”, with Obama pledging to submit a revised set of budget changes”
