Last Week in the War for the Republic, What We Analyzed and What We Read

It is now widely recognized that Ukraine’s vaunted counteroffensive has failed. Yet Joe Biden is asking for another $26 billion and Mitch “the Turtle” McConnell is all on board to make it happen. Polling now shows irrefutably, however, that the American public rejects any more funding for Ukraine. That is also, of course, the moral imperative. Biden’s policy now is one overt human sacrifice of doomed Ukrainians. As Aaron Mate writes, Mitch McConnell even explained it exactly this way last week. Throw more Ukrainian bodies at impenetrable Russian defenses, watch the catastrophic deaths mount, game it as a contribution to the U.S. defense industry and a modernization of our war fighting capabilities by testing what works and what does not.
Is the apparent defeat of all rationality and morality when it comes to Ukraine somehow related to how compromised Joe Biden is over his family’s haul from Ukrainian, Romanian, and Russian oligarchs? Did these people blackmail him or do his continued actions to throw the West into a new Dark Age stem from the fact that the British oligarchy and its U.S. satraps will only continue to give Biden protection if he keeps toeing their line?
After Biden blew up the Nord Stream pipelines, Germany is being rapidly deindustrialized and has officially entered a recession. This impacts not just Germany but all countries dependent on advanced German industrial exports. Seymour Hersh once again returned to the Nord Stream destruction and its impact on European economies in an exemplary piece this week.
Is Donald Trump the only politician loved by his population who the elites have determined to snuff out of existence through lawfare? Glenn Greenwald points to the fact that this is an international phenomenon instigated by the same Anglo-American cabal. Pakistan’s Imran Khan was couped because the U.S. State Department demanded it. They were ticked about his neutral position on Ukraine. Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro is under concerted Trump-like lawfare attack. Niger? Hey, according to Vicki Nuland, our newly named Deputy Secretary of State, the U.S. created the president you Niger military guys just deposed in what you call an anti-colonialist sovereign maneuver. Put him back in or the U.S. will drastically supplement our Africa deployment.
The Real Insurrection in the Courts
We learned this week that Donald Trump’s twitter account during his presidency was seized by Special Counsel Jack Smith as one of his first acts. He got it, despite Twitter’s opposition, by going to Beryl Howell, the Trump hating then chief judge of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. Judge Howell also provided the central claims for Smith’s Florida indictment of Trump by requiring Trump’s lawyer, Evan Corcoran to turn over his notes of privileged conversations Trump had with him. Howell fined Twitter $350,000 for being two days late, by her account, in turning over the documents to Smith, basing the fine on how much she thought Elon Musk was worth. Musk is another one of Howell’s hate objects. In his argument to Howell, Jack Smith now admits that he erred when he listed Trump as a flight risk. Judge Howell adopted Smith’s error and found Donald J. Trump, the 45th president of the United States and the leading candidate to become the 47th, to be a flight risk. Forget the fact that he is the most recognizable person in the world and is guarded by the Secret Service. Such are the derangements of Trump derangement syndrome.
In the D.C. January 6th indictment case, Smith is gunning for an early trial, moving it up to first in sequence among the four criminal trials the DOJ and its allies in Georgia and New York have scheduled for Trump next year. Smith wants a January 4,2024, DC trial date which will take Trump out of campaigning ahead of Super Tuesday. Smith is also wary of Florida Judge Aileen Cannon, who, unlike DC’s federal bench, appears not to have drunk the Kool-Aid. Judge Cannon wants to know how come Smith is using a D.C. Grand Jury, over which she has no control or supervision, to gather further evidence in the Mar-a-Lago documents case before her.
The overall Biden DOJ scheme is to have Trump confined to a courtroom so that he cannot campaign and to convict him repeatedly through biased jury pools and courts so that the population will finally abandon the idea that they want him to be the 47th president.
Smith’s D.C. case is before Judge Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee with a demonstrated bias against Trump. She claimed in harshly sentencing various J6 defendants that Trump was responsible for an “insurrection” on January 6th, the central subject of Smith’s indictment of Trump now pending before her. She previously recused herself in a case involving Fusion GPS, key players in Russiagate, having used Fusion’s services when she was a lawyer at Boies, Schiller, the same firm that simultaneously employed Hunter Biden.
Jack Smith demanded a gag order against Trump and Chutkan immediately jumped, deeming the protective order an urgent matter, and truncating the normal time to respond to motions to days and hours, including last weekend. While the press is covering Chutkan’s ultimate protective order as a setback for Smith, we don’t agree.
It is true that Judge Chutkan did not order Trump not to talk about the case at all as Smith’s obscene submission demanded. But she fashioned the protective order so broadly as to what can be considered “sensitive materials” which cannot be publicly discussed to include every witness interview by Smith or any other government entity, including Congress’ J6 committee. This makes almost any public discussion of anybody involved in the case by Trump a violation of the protective order and potential jail time. Trump cannot reveal anything exculpatory any witness said about his involvement in January 6th or his claims about the rigged 2020 election even though Trump’s election opponents including Joe Biden are relentlessly attacking him on these issues.
In the Alice-in-Wonderland mad Queen world in which this court and this judge seem to dwell, Chutkan ended the hearing by stating: “The fact that he’s running a political campaign has to yield to the orderly administration of justice . . . , If that means he can’t say exactly what he wants to say about witnesses in this case, that’s how it has to be. . . Even arguably ambiguous statements from parties or their counsel, if they can be reasonably interpreted to intimidate witnesses or to prejudice potential jurors, can threaten the process . . . The more a party makes inflammatory statements about this case which could taint the jury pool … the greater the urgency will be that we proceed to trial quickly.”
As we outlined above, preventing Trump from running a winning electoral campaign is the actual purpose of this prosecution and the DC jury pool is already so polluted with Trump hatred that an honest jury selection procedure would disqualify practically everyone. In Roger Stone’s case, a juror who was anti-Trump and anti-Stone lied to be seated on the jury, ending up as the jury foreman. Smith’s prosecutors who daily leak prejudicial “sensitive” information to the Washington Post, Politico, the New York Times, and dozens of other establishment outlets, remain free from judicial scrutiny.
The Biden Crime Family—One Answer to All of This, Impeach Garland
On Friday afternoon, one day after Congressman James Comer said he was now ready to subpoena Hunter Biden and Joe Biden in the House Biden corruption investigation, Attorney General Merrick Garland appeared to announce that he had appointed Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss as Special Counsel to investigate Hunter Biden. Garland’s overt corruption is not even subtle anymore; it is simply gross.
The move is intended to block further Congressional investigation because of DOJ’s ability to now claim an ongoing criminal investigation. Comer says he is now able to demonstrate that the Biden family received over $20 million from foreign governments for selling access to Vice-President Joe Biden. David Weiss crafted Hunter Biden’s ridiculous plea deal covering millions of dollars in tax fraud and a felony gun possession charge as misdemeanors coupled with a deferred prosecution agreement. He would have spent no time in jail. The hidden clause of the deal immunized Biden from any further prosecution for anything, including clear violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Previously, Weiss had allowed the statute of limitations to run on years of the tax prosecution, an unheard-of event in federal prosecutions.
When Delaware U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika questioned the total immunity side deal, the plea deal fell apart. Garland’s action allows Weiss to avoid Judge Noreika entirely and bring any new but actually non-existent investigations before courts in California or Washington, D.C.
This destruction of our Constitution and our Republic must be stopped now and not allowed to continue. The key is cutting all funding to Jack Smith and the Manhattan and Atlanta Trump prosecutors, defunding similar DOJ anti-Trump and anti-MAGA initiatives and impeaching Merrick Garland. Again, sign and circulate our petition now to stop this.
