Anybody checked out Ann Vandersteel's interviews? She's moving to the forefront of the new media and has a finger on a certain pulse within DC that is very interesting.
Her 2hr interview with Patrick Byrne last night? Wow. Just. Wow. If Byrne is legit... Just wow.
YouTube tip: Use the playback speed function. Most interviews you can get used to 2x speed,
Why do these people insist on talking about China hacking the election???
Why do these people insist on talking about China hacking the election???
Just like USA, UK, and other actors, China probably has it's own deep state. I've met many Chinese people and all of them have been kind, gentle, understanding AND animal lovers. There are thousands of videos out there showing Chinese rescuing and saving dogs, cats and all creatures. I know many British families who have moved to live in China - by desire.
The Chinese Deep State is another thing entirely.
I would not like to see the Chinese people themselves be victims of a 'lynch mob'
I've seen a lot of US-financed governments stealing votes. But no matter how obvious the theft is. The winner of the selection sits on the seat.
I don't want to upset you but Trump is now ignored in the international media. Most of the financiers of these media sources are the USA. No matter how much evidence there is, I'm not sure how Trump can go back anymore.
Actually, what I am curious about now is the reaction Iran will give to the USA. Trump can order an air strike on Iran before he leaves.
But probably Iran will try to escape trouble until Biden becomes president.
I think this is projection. You're taking what you know about how western governments operate and essentially saying this is how non western governments operate as well. I'm not saying it's necessarily incorrect but I'd ask for some semblance of evidence.
What do you know about the inner machinations of China?
I know because I have first hand knowledge. I am currently in negotiations with a huge corporation in China to invest in the country where I live to finance and build a new oil refinery. One of my contacts is called 'George' as he likes to be called. He is my source.
Okay, but now Fitts tweets this article:December 18th Greg Hunter did his latest interview with Catherine Austin Fitts, a frequent guest on his show. Always good to check in with Fitts I find.
And here she is, once again, stating the disaster that will follow if Trump declares Marshal Law:
Excerpt, starting around 23:00:
Catherine Austin Fitts: So, the push for Marshal Law is not coming from Trump supporters -- they may be repeating it -- [it's] coming from somewhere in the Deep State, probably the intelligence agencies. Because the only way they can confiscate the guns is if they get Marshal Law going. And the way to get it going is to get Trump and his supporters to do it. Then you can blame them. The minute you can temporarily suspend the constitution, the Deep State will grab the guns, they will grab a whole bunch of property, they'll put a whole bunch of people in prison. They will drive a Panza division through that window.
Greg Hunter: Don't do it. You're saying don't do it.
Catherine Austin Fitts: Only do it if you want to commit suicide, and you want to take 325 million people with you.
Greg Hunter: If you were going to advise the president, you'd say, Mr. President, do what you're gonna' do but do it in the confines of the constitution.
Catherine Austin Fitts: Yes.
[end excerpt]
I recommend listening to the whole interview, actually. You get a better idea as to why she keeps urging people to go local. She states instead of a government, we have a money pit, a spending operation, but no real government. Washington, not even Trump, is going to de-centralize the economy. Only U.S. citizens can do this, county by county. (I wonder if/how she herself is doing this, since it seems a tall order, especially since most of us lack her expertise.) Her take on Bitcoin is interesting too, including the fact that precious metals would have seen a greater increase if it weren't for Bitcoin and, I assume, other cryptocurrencies. But given these virtual currencies lack fluidity -- you do not carry it and spend it the way you do other currencies -- it signals "the end of currencies" (which she writes about in one of her latest Solari Reports). So, the lack of fluidy with cryptocurrencies is really their point, and the reason to mistrust them.
A few things: If you recall, Pompeo broke with protocol (and likely the Hatch Act) when he gave a speech for the Republican National Convention from Jerusalem (with a night-lit Jerusalem behind him in the shot). At the time, it seemed to me he was signalling what seemed to be a kind of threat to the PTB in so "defiantly" aligning himself with Israel/Mossad. That, at least, was my personal impression.
At the time, Trump was in the midst of putting together an accord, soon to be signed, establishing normalized relations between Israel, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, soon to be followed by Saudi Arabia.
I just read this Slate article, which seems to lay things out rather well, even with its obligatory anti-Trump bias (although I'm certainly no expert on the nuances of Trump's Middle East policy):
As for U.S.-Iran relations... here's an interesting little item posted December 11th by the National, a Canadian newspaper formally out of Abu Dhabi.
US flies two B-52s over Arabian Gulf in message to Iran
The two B-52s were also joined by aircraft from Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar.
Boeing's B-52's were built after WWII to carry nuclear weapons as a Cold-War Era deterrent, although they have only ever been used to drop conventional munitions in battle [as per Wikipedia].

The China connection is I think a huge thing in the mix now and SOTT is right on it.
Who is Creating a New Chinese Boogey Man? (An Examination of Modern Psychological Warfare)
Excellent article to read.
Anybody who is on to George Soros deserves kudos if you ask me (of course there is no need for that).
It makes this a lot more clear as to how we got here.
Anyway, point is, Fitts saw fit to tweet this article, especially in light of what her previous assumptions have been. But again, does this mean the Deep State doesn't want the president to have such powers after all? Or does this suggest another faction [of the Deep State?] is moving to foreclose on what Fitts had been predicting IF Trump were to invoke this act, or declare Martial Law?
