One thing we’ve learned from the Trump Presidency is that the “deep state” is not just some crazy conspiracy theory. For the past three years we’ve seen that deep state launch plot after plot to overturn the election.
It all started with former CIA director John Brennan’s phony “Intelligence Assessment” of Russian involvement in the 2016 election. It was claimed that all 17 US intelligence agencies agreed that Putin put Trump in office, but we found out later that the report was cooked up by a handful of Brennan’s hand-picked agents.
Donald Trump upset the Washington apple cart as presidential candidate and in so doing he set elements of the deep state in motion against him.
One of the things candidate Donald Trump did to paint a deep state target on his back was his repeated praise of Wikileaks, the pro-transparency media organization headed up by Australian journalist Julian Assange. More than 100 times candidate Trump said “I love Wikileaks” on the campaign trail.
Trump loved it when Wikileaks exposed the criminality of Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party, as it cheated to deprive Bernie Sanders of the Democratic Party nomination. Wikileaks’ release of the DNC emails exposed the deep corruption at the heart of US politics, and as a candidate Trump loved the transparency.
Then Trump got elected.
The real tragedy of the Trump presidency is nowhere better demonstrated than in Trump’s 180 degree turn away from Wikileaks and its founder Julian Assange. “I know nothing about Wikileaks,” he said as president. “It’s really not my thing.”
US pressure and bribes to the Ecuadorian government ended Assange’s asylum and his seven years in a room at the Ecuadorian embassy in London. After his dramatic arrest by London’s Metropolitan Police last April, he has been effectively tortured in British jails at the behest of the US deep state.
Today, Monday the 24th of February, Assange faces an extradition hearing in a UK courthouse. The Trump Administration – led by a man who praised Assange’s work – seeks a show trial of Assange worthy of the worst of the Soviet era. The US is seeking a 175 year prison sentence.
The Trump Administration argues that the Australian Assange should be tried and convicted of espionage against a country of which he is not a citizen. At the same time the Trump Administration argues that the First Amendment does not apply to Assange because he is not an American citizen! So Assange is subject to US law when it comes to publishing information embarrassing to the US deep state but he is not subject to the law of the land – the US Constitution – which protects all journalists and is the backbone of our system of government.
It is ironic that a President Trump who has been victim of so much deep state meddling has done the deep state’s bidding when it comes to Assange and Wikileaks. President Trump should preempt the inevitable US show trial of Assange by granting the journalist blanket pardon under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
The deep state Trump is serving by persecuting Assange is the same deep state that continues to plot Trump’s own ouster. Free Assange!
In the year 1520, exactly 500 years ago, a German scholar named Johan Schoner completed a map of the world that was widely considered to be humanity’s most advanced understanding of geography at that time. To us, Schoner’s map is pretty amusing.
The metaphysical question, what does Russia want, is sounding a lot like the cosmic conundrum posed by Sigmund Freud: what do women want? Is Vladimir Putin transitioning to “become” a woman? It seems like the hormones are getting to him. One day he’s got a crush on Donald Trump, the next day he’s mashed on Bernie Sanders. At least according to America’s Intel Community. Or was that just Rep. Adam Schiff’s spin on the sigint served up to his House Intel Committee by one Shelby Pierson, “a senior intelligence official responsible for overseeing the issues of election interference,” as The New York Times described her. It looked, for a moment, like Mr. Schiff was trying to tee up a new killer-diller impeachment shot. But as usual with Mr. Schiff, the ploy went all Acme on him and blew up in his face.
Amazing how quickly the narrative flip-flopped, though, by whatever supernatural means the news media employs these days — Ouija boards, astral vision, virtual warping, metapotence, psionic equilibrium distortion, consort with the ghost of Allen Dulles…. One might deduce that the Democratic Party nomenklatura realized in a flash of insight that Russia’s affections were far more useful applied to Mr. Sanders than Mr. Trump, whose status among the Dems these days ranks as “worse than Satan.” Not much to work with there.
They’ve been struggling to find some means to stuff Bernie into the memory hole. They tried hauling Michael Bloomberg onstage to call Bernie a communist. That bombed (along with Mr. Bloomberg altogether). Everybody already knows Bernie spent his honeymoon in the Soviet Union waiting on line with the new missus for tin plates of kohlrabi soup. Sunday night, they duped Bernie onto a 60-Minutes workout, with Anderson Cooper playing inquisitor. Andy put the screws to him on the question as to how America will pay for all the free stuff Bernie proffers. The answers were embarrassingly inconclusive and nobody cared, perhaps because nobody believes it anyway, not even the most righteous Bernie Bros.
If nothing else, Bernie’s timing on free this-and-that couldn’t be worse from the vantage of history. Government health care and tuition-free college worked in some nations in the decades after the Second World War because of a steadily rising global GDP, which itself was pegged to a reliable and affordable fossil fuel supply. That’s over. The shale oil “miracle” has bamboozled the public for ten years. It was a great stunt, but that’s all it was, and it’s going to wither now for a lack of available capital, and there isn’t any combo of alt energy thingies to take its place. Neither the Woke half of America nor the MAGA half groks this situation. The money’s not there. And a lot of things that pretend to be money are figments of the banking-and-finance industry, soon to melt away.
And now the Corona virus steps onstage to ramify that situation, beginning with a virtual shut-down of the excessively complex, over-engineered, just-in-time global economy. Things are not being produced and supply lines are shutting down. Car-makers outside China have a couple of weeks before their production lines halt for a lack of parts. But, of course, every other industry will have similar problems and stoppages. Many working Americans are barely getting by from one paycheck to the next. How many missed paychecks will it take for genuine hunger to kick in and desperation with it? We don’t know because the US news media has been busy conjuring the many loves of Vlad Putin.
This is getting serious now. Some of you may have noticed this morning that the stock indexes are heading into the worst open in years. Today, Mr. Market woke up, like Rip Van Winkle, and discovered that the world changed while he was sleeping. There’s a fair chance that the conditions of daily life in America will deteriorate sharply in the months ahead. We’ve been remote-viewing the empty streets of Wuhan and other Chinese cities since January, thinking it was like one of our cable-network horror shows. It’s not inconceivable that an American City, or more than one, will be subject to quarantine, or that a whole lot of people just won’t leave their houses for a period of time. Will the truckers still truck things that people need? We don’t know. How do you hold a political convention in a situation like that, or even an election?
The situation in China may be too far gone already. The country’s finances were a gigantic game of pretend. In the old Soviet Union, beloved by Bernie, the joke was, “they pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work” — not a great formula for enduring prosperity. In China, the updated joke was “we pretend to make loans, and you pretend to pay them back.” The China boom was a lot like the shale oil “miracle.” They were both great stunts. They produced a lot of stuff by borrowing from the future. Now we have all that stuff and we have to maintain it, keep if running, borrow more money to make that happen… and suddenly, that’s no longer plausible. The entire industrialized world has fallen for the debt stunt. Observers have been waiting to see what would finally provoke the unwinding of massive false promises. Looks like the wait is over.

Filmmaker and war correspondent Scott Kesterson of the Bards of War podcast is joined by Nate Cain, FBI whistleblower, who leaked incriminating documents about Hillary Clinton’s dealings with Uranium One and the Clinton Foundation.
In 2016, Cain was hired as a cybersecurity contractor by the FBI to provide vulnerability assessments for the FBI’s field offices.
As someone who’d had a security clearance for a couple of decades, he avoided sticking his nose where it didn’t belong but this changed after he overheard his supervisor’s conversation, while at work.
When he confronted his supervisor, “He admitted to me that [he knew of] transcripts of an internal FBI discussion about Hillary Clinton and her case…There was some big discovery.
“Words like ‘treason’ were being thrown around and they were fearful and they didn’t know what to do, so there were discussions about potentially burying this because, the other phrase that really sticks out in my memory was that, ‘This could bring the government down.’ That was one the the fears.
“For me, that was unacceptable. But at that point, I didn’t know if it was true, it was just a rumor. So, I had access to the FBI Net, which is their internal network. It’s classified and I did some simple searches and I came across a trove of information that, at first glance, I was shocked. I was totally blown away.
“There were numerous documents that were evidentiary, that pointed to – and these were documents that had analysts’ notes on them, they had case files assigned to them – and it appeared that there was a major investigation that was going on.
“It involved four basic categories. It involved 1. money-laundering, 2. securities and exchange fraud, 3. public corruption and 4. terrorism financing.
“At that point, I was pretty upset by it but there were case numbers assigned, so I figured that, ‘The FBI’s investigating this, so I don’t have anything to worry about.’
“So I sat on it. And I sat on it for probably several months…
“The whole email scandal thing was a problem, in and of itself and these files that I found had nothing to do with the email scandal…A lot of people have talked about the Uranium One thing but this was so much bigger than that! This involved a lot of countries, which I won’t name, let’s just say that some of them, you don’t want to see money coming into our system from.
“There’s a lot of money running through different shell corporations and shell NGOs and 501 (c) 3s…it was clear that something big was going on, it involved hundreds of millions of dollars, so it was pretty serious.
“Going back to the Hillary email situation, because that plays a part in the story, I was following that pretty intently because in the 22 years that I’d worked with government, I’d had 3 or 4 cases, where I had received an…[interdepartmental] email saying, ‘Don’t delete your emails,” it was basically a subpoena order, saying there were penalties if we deleted our emails and that we couldn’t delete them because there was an ongoing investigation. None of these cases had anything to do with me but they were making everybody in the Command or everybody in that unit hold their emails, as part of a subpoena.
“So, I was very familiar with the subpoena process and understood that if you get a subpoena, you don’t delete those emails – you just don’t. That is Obstruction of Justice.
“I was pretty convinced that Hillary Clinton was going to get charged with something. All the evidence was there. What shocked me was when Comey went out – and this was right after a meeting with Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch on the tarmac – and then, shortly thereafter, Comey goes out and exonerates Hillary Clinton, saying that, ‘No reasonable prosecutor would go after her for that.’
“And I just – I was completely shocked. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Especially, because somebody in her position would’ve been trained in classification handling…classification authority. They have the right to, at that level, make things classified and certainly they’re derivative classifiers; they know how to do these things, they know how to handle these things and I saw her give testimony up on Capitol Hill, I’ll never forget, one of the questions that she was asked about wiping her computer and she said, ‘Oh, what, with a cloth?’
“So, she was playing dumb and trying to pretend like she didn’t know what she was talking about and then, Comey, he supported that, talking about how she was unsophisticated with technology and whatever. And so I wasn’t buying it.
“I was pretty upset at that point. I realized at that point, that the highest levels of the FBI – specifically, Comey and McCabe – and I didn’t know who Peter Strzok was at that time…but I knew at that point that there was a cover-up going on and that they had no intention of following through with any of this.
“So, at the time, I decided that I needed to blow the whistle. I thought long and hard about it. I prayed about it. To be honest with you, I was pretty frightened about it, because this was not a trivial matter. I wasn’t blowing the whistle on an EO complaint or something like that, I was blowing the whistle on the very people who could then, turn right around and put me in prison for the rest of my life…
“I was blowing the whistle on information that was related to Hillary Clinton and the reality is, whether it’s a conspiracy or not, there’s an awful lot of people who have been scheduled to testify against the Clinton Foundation or knew information about the Clintons that have mysteriously died, ‘committed suicide’ or had an ‘accident’.
“So, I ain’t gonna lie but the thought did cross my mind, ‘Am I insane?’ because this is gonna put me at serious risk…
Cain then tells the gripping story of how he obtained official whistleblower status with IG Michael Horowitz under the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act and he legally transmitted the files to the Senate and House Intelligence committees.
This did nothing to stop 16 FBI agents from raiding his home for six hours on the morning of November 19, 2018 via an illegally-issued court order signed on November 15, 2018 by federal magistrate judge Stephanie A. Gallagher in the US District Court for Baltimore and falsely charged with illegal possession of stolen federal property.
For weeks, the FBI proceeded to harass Cain and his neighbors, straight out of the Khmer Rouge or the purges of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, determined to get his community to rat on him. His children’s friends’ parents were told they shouldn’t allow their kids to come to Cain’s house, as he was not a “safe” person. These parents were surveilled and had their emails read.
Cain says, “They insinuated that I was part of some international conspiracy against the US Government and they specifically brought up Q and asked if they had ever me talking about Q…So now, not only do I feel violated, but all these people who the FBI is visiting and intimidating, they feel violated too. They tried to ostracize me from my own community, they tried to destroy my family…I had done this thing that was extremely scary to do; what I believed was the right thing to do and I was treated like a terrorist, treated like an anti-government extremist.
“Mind you, I’ve never been charged with anything to this day. I still have my clearance, it’s never been suspended, not even a flag – because I didn’t do anything wrong, yet these people destroyed my life. I ended up in debt, all of my credit cards racked up and in debt to my eyeballs, all of my savings.
“And it doesn’t even compare to what has happened to Flynn. This is what they do. They force you into a position, to where you can’t even afford to keep fighting them anymore.
“If we as Americans don’t have a right to question our government, then we really are in a police state.”
The one positive to come out of all this, he says his his increased faith in God.
In today’s episode of Numbskulls and Deceivers in Medical Science, I ask the question: Are Chinese researchers copying an old CDC scam, or have they independently come up with their own lies which happen to mirror CDC hype?
In my series on the China epidemic (archive here), I’ve pointed out that pneumonia—the key indicator of the “coronavirus”—can be caused by many other factors:
And Chinese authorities no longer require direct testing for the coronavirus. Instead, CT scans of the chest are employed. If these scans show signs of pneumonia, the “coronavirus epidemic” label is absurdly applied to the patient.
I’ve also pointed out that, historically, pneumonia has been a major disease in China. Long before “the emergence of the new human coronavirus,” people in China have been dying of pneumonia at the rate of about 300,000 a year. Now those people, passing away from the disease in 2020, can be falsely called “deadly epidemic cases.” How convenient.
Well, it turns out the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has been running its own pneumonia scam for a long time.
Some years ago, when I was writing about the flu, I received emails from Peter Doshi and Martin Maloney. They fed me data from the CDC’s own charts detailing flu deaths in the US. And they pointed out the lies.
Doshi went on to write an analysis for the journal BMJ Online (December 2005). Here is a key quote from his report:
“[According to CDC statistics], ‘influenza and pneumonia’ took 62,034 lives in 2001—61,777 of which were attributable to pneumonia and 257 to flu, and in only 18 cases was the flu virus positively identified.”
You might want to chew on that sentence for a while.
You see, the CDC has created one overall category that combines both flu and pneumonia deaths. THEY CALL THIS CATEGORY “FLU.” Why do they do this? Why do they deceptively assert the pneumonia deaths are complications stemming from the flu? Because they want to sell doctors and the public on the “dangers of the flu.”
Pneumonia has a number of non-flu causes.
But even worse, in all the 2001 flu and pneumonia deaths, only 18 revealed the presence of an influenza virus.
Therefore, the CDC couldn’t truthfully say that more than 18 people died of influenza in 2001. Not 36,000 deaths, the old CDC PR statistic. 18 deaths.
Doshi continued his assessment of published CDC flu-death statistics: “Between 1979 and 2001, [CDC] data show an average of 1348 [flu] deaths per year (range 257 to 3006).” These figures refer to flu separated out from pneumonia.
This low death toll would drop MUCH lower, if you added the need to confirm the presence of a flu virus in those cases.
Clearly, the CDC combines flu and pneumonia in one category, and calls it “flu,” in order to lie about the number of flu deaths in the US, and thus push the flu vaccine.
So we have two fake hustles, years apart, in the US and China, both based on the deceptive use of pneumonia.
Liars tend to tell the same kinds of lies, over and over. Medical liars often import diseases which have nothing to do with their claims, in order to build up case numbers and pump up threats and fears.
And then sell toxic drugs and vaccines, as solutions.
I’d be quite happy to offer this article and its blunt facts to the New York Times, or the Washington Post, or CBS, NBC, or ABC, providing they assure me they’ll print it and then force their hungriest hounds to track down and indict the high-level deceivers, by name, who are pushing these criminal falsehoods. Ordinarily, I would charge $10000000000000 for the article, but in this case I’ll settle for a six-hour, face to face, live streaming interview with the head of the CDC, in prime time.

Jeffrey Epstein's alleged 'madam' told a former acquaintance that she and the now-dead pedophile had "everything on videotape," according to The Telegraph.
WAMBA, Kenya — When the dense, dark smudge started blocking out the daytime sky, many in a sleepy pastoralist hamlet in northern Kenya imagined it was a cloud ushering in some welcome, cooling rain.
