COMMENT: Well, Marty, you endorsed Anna Paulina Luna and said she was very smart. I donated to her since you do not endorse politicians, so I assumed she had to be authentic when you wrote about her.

2025_02_11_20_45_07_Republicans_launch_task_force_to_declassify_government_secrets_including_on_Eps

I just read today that she is now in charge of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets on Tuesday, which will be led by Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. She will focus on publishing materials related to the 9/11 attacks, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the client list of Jeffrey Epstein, among other things, including the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and MLK. Since they threw you in with the terrorists and were there when 911 took place, I suspect she will be interested in your account.

The fact that you endorsed her gives me confidence that she is the real deal, for you never endorse anyone.

P

REPLY: I have spoken with Anna. I even met her for lunch. I like to look into their eyes, for they are the window to the soul. As a trader, you have to know who your opponent is. I concluded that Anna had a fire in her belly. She is the real deal. True, she is the ONLY politician I have endorsed. I was going to ask her if she would appear on stage when I do the World Economic Conference for the Next Generation to explain how the world economy functions. I was hoping she could give some insight into how it is to be a member of Congress. She might be too busy now.

911 Conspiracy

I have laid out that while the terrorists hijacked the planes, the government knew that was coming and allowed the attack to take place to gain tremendous power. The first crew of terrorists were in MCC and even drew the Twin Towers on the wall with planes going into them. The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) employee Mr. Kumb provided the recreation materials they used. The BOP came down to 10 South and filmed everything. Their lawyer, Lynne Stewart (1939-2017), was imprisoned for passing them notes for 4 years.

Box Cutters Texas R

We never heard much about the alleged Terrorists who had box cutters and were on their way to Texas to hijack another plane for 911. Because I was good at law and I was just civil contempt, I volunteered to work in the law library. So, I reviewed countless indictments and listened to the explanations. Virtually every drug dealer who had a pile of cash said the same thing – 50% of the amount the Feds took was always missing. The court-appointed lawyers tell them to keep their mouths shut for more money means more time.

I was in court one day, and this kid looked starved, frightened, and mentally tortured. He was one of the two alleged box-cutter terrorists. It turned out he was not Muslim but Christian. I believe his parents pleaded with the New York Times, and they were trying to find the kid to interview him. He had a paper and did not trust the court-appointed lawyers who are professional in ensuring the government keeps a 99% conviction rate. It takes talent to lose every case. I never met a single court-appointed lawyer who was honest or would actually defend their client. If they cared, they would never get on the panel to represent people. They fix elections, and they fix courts as well.

They knew this kid was not a terrorist, so they put him on diesel therapy, where they moved you in chains every day from one prison to the next so you could not contact anyone and nobody could find you in the system. This kid was terrified, mentally tortured, and starved. He came to me with his papers and asked me what was happening, for he no longer trusted court-appointed lawyers. I read his papers, and it said if he agreed, the government would deport him on a plane that night, but he could never sue the government for what they did to him. I explained he would be deported that night. He took the deal, or else he would have been on diesel therapy until he died. He took the deal and was deported. They do not dare to put the alleged terrorists on trial in Guantanamo Bay. No trial;. They are there without charges and will die in prison. Nobody gives a shit about them, and that is a green light to others that they can do that to Americans.

Give Anna the benefit of the doubt. I believe she is honest, so support her when you can. She does have a fire in her belly, not unlike Musk. I hope she will listen to what I have stated publicly about 911. When they set up Home Land Security, they said that some agencies had info but did not share it. I always wondered if that was the photos from MCC where the first group of terrorists drew the World Trade Center on the wall of their cell with planes going into them.

And BTW, I was thrown in with the terrorists on civil contempt when they were attacking my lawyers, and they did not want my lawyers to talk to me. They told my family I was not in MCC. I, too, was “lost” in the system. They made it sound like I walked down, knocked on the door, and asked if I could play with the terrorists. I was in a cell with one of them, and I asked who came up with the idea of driving a van into the parking garage and blowing it up, and the whole building would have collapsed. He said you. I asked; me? Then he explained it was the movie – Lethal Weapon 3.

Trump Awakens the Silent Majority

February 11, 2025

Sara Bareilles – Brave

The term “silent majority” has been used honestly for centuries, but it originally was used to refer to the dead. “The majority” or “the silent majority” can be traced back to the Roman writer Gaius Petronius Arbiter (c 27-66AD), (Arbiter meaning “judge of elegance”) who lived during the reign of Nero. He wrote Satyricon liber (The Book of Satyrlike Adventures). He wrote, “Why, not a drop of water or a crumb of bread so much as passed his lips for five days; and yet he joined the majority! ” abiit ad plures (he is gone to the majority). Petronius used this term to describe the dead since they outnumber the living. President Richard Nixon, in a televised address on November 3rd, 1969, said:

“And so tonight—to you, the great silent majority of my fellow Americans—I ask for your support.”

The term “silent majority” has been used throughout the centuries but has transformed from its original meaning of being the dead, who are the majority outnumbering the living, into the majority of society that has remained silent as governments have exploited them constantly over the centuries no matter what form of government.

Revolution Time

Paine Common Sense

We have now crossed that threshold regarding the Cycle of Political Change of 224 years; as Margaret Thacher once said to me, “It’s Just Time.” Indeed, it is just time for the silent majority to awaken, and this is what the Democrats do not understand. Thomas Paine awakened the silent majority with his Common Sense. That book is what made all the difference and sparked the majority of the people to say YES, it’s revolution time.

Warren_elizabeth screaming

Elizabeth Warren’s “temper tantrum” in her defense of Big Pharma as she tried to belittle Robert Kennedy not only demonstrated why she was divorced if that is how she yelled at her husband, but the lack of understanding of the people all for whatever Trump says she must take the opposite position, is why the Democrats are crumbling from with. As our computer confirms, the Democratic Party will go extinct, and what may be another nail in their coffin is how they are defending the Deep State. The rumblings I hear are that they think they will block the debt ceiling issue over Trump’s eliminating corrupt agencies like USAID. They are so far on the opposite side of everything just because Trump does whatever that they are pushing themselves over the edge and becoming ever more irrelevant.

2025_02_11_10_05_03_Trump_and_Musk_might_just_save_us_from_trillions_of_dollars_of_US_debt_Opinion

Opposing something on legitimate grounds is one thing. To oppose everything Trump does is anti-democratic. Trump has awakened not the dead but the silent majority who have witnessed the decline and fall of their society from migration to 6-foot guys who become women to break all the records in women’s sports. They seem to think that the only issue for women is abortion. They do not get it. They think they can keep spending and borrowing endlessly to bribe people to vote. They pay no attention to the quality of life. I know people who have become gravely ill after COVID-19 shots and some who have died. To protect Pfizer and others, knighting them with ABSOLUTE immunity no matter what they do, is in itself a conspiracy against the people. As they said about Trump

NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW

THAT SHOULD APPLY TO BIG PHARMA

 

 

 

Ending Penny Production

February 11, 2025

1857 Monetary Reform

President Donald Trump directed the Treasury Department to cease minting pennies. The penny has been circulating for 233 years, first established in 1792. Trump has been against the creation of a CBDC, but this move is clearly one massive step illustrating the long-term trend of inflation.

quadrigati debasement

Penny History

More than that, the penny was the descendant of the Roman Denarius, and its origin stretches back to the Punic Wars of the Roman Republic when the Denarius first appeared.  Before that, Rome’s coinage complied with the Greek monetary standard. The cost of the Punic Wars was highly inflationary, and the Romans issued the denarius, and they greatly debased their bronze coinage. After the Dark Ages, this is when we see the reappearance of the Denier named after the Denarius in French. The Germans called it the Pfennig, and the English called it the penny. Yet these were struck in silver – not bronze. The denarius was originally valued at 10 pounds of bronze. So, the end of the penny is really the end of over 2500 years of monetary history.

1793 Penny HalfPenny

The first pennies, known as “large cents,” featured the Flowing Hair design (1793) with a chain reverse, later replaced by a wreath reverse for better strikes. The value of a penny was far more than any of us in modern times respected. There were even half pennies issued until there was a financial crisis involving a shortage of copper in 1857.

1793 Liberty Cap

In mid-1793, Joseph Wright’s Liberty Cap design introduced a more consistent look and remained until 1796. In 1796, the Draped Bust design, based on Gilbert Stuart’s artwork, replaced Liberty Cap cents and lasted until 1807. From 1808 to 1814, the Classic Head design by John Reich depicted Liberty with a headband. Poor-quality coins struck in 1812 improved after the War of 1812.

1816 large cent penny

From 1816 to 1839, the Matron Head (Coronet Head) design by Christian Gobrecht made Liberty appear more conservative. In 1839, the Braided Hair design gave Liberty braided hair and a larger wreath reverse. Large cents were unpopular and costly to produce, leading to their replacement by smaller, copper-nickel cents in 1857.

pennyflyingeaglesmallcent

The Flying Eagle cent (1857–1858), designed by James Longacre, featured an eagle in flight but was discontinued due to striking issues. It was replaced by the Indian Head cent (1859–1909), which depicted Liberty in an Indian headdress. The 1859 reverse had a simple wreath, but in 1860, a Union shield was added, symbolizing national unity. Due to wartime hoarding, the coin’s composition changed from copper-nickel to bronze in 1864.

PennyLincoln

“Lincoln Cents” (1909) marked the last major shift in the penny. Commissioned for Lincoln’s 100th birthday, the Lincoln Cent, designed by Victor David Brenner, debuted in 1909 with a wheat reverse. In 1959, Frank Gasparro’s Lincoln Memorial reverse replaced the original design. In 2009, four special cents honored Lincoln’s 200th birthday, depicting key stages of his life. In 2010, the Union Shield reverse, designed by Lyndall Bass, symbolized Lincoln’s legacy of preserving the nation. The Lincoln cent remains the longest continuously minted U.S. coin and a favorite among collectors.

The coin’s composition changed over time: bronze (1909–1942), zinc-coated steel (1943, due to WWII copper shortages), then back to bronze (1944–1982). In 1982, it switched to copper-coated zinc, still in use today despite rising production costs. Pennies have been more expensive to produce than face value since 2006. The US Treasury stated that the penny cost 2.72 cents to produce as of 2023, but DOGE reported last month that costs rose above 3 cents. The mint spent $179 million to produce 4.5 billion pennies in FY2023, which would be above the 3 cent mark. For FY24, the US Minth said it cost 3.7 cents to produce and distribute a penny, a 20% YoY increase.

“For far too long the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents. This is so wasteful!” Trump wrote over the weekend. “I have instructed my Secretary of the US Treasury to stop producing new pennies.” Later, adding, “Let’s rip the waste out of our great nation’s budget, even if it’s a penny at a time.”

Instead of altering the metal content, the decision is to eliminate the penny. Existing pennies will continue circulating, but we can expect people to begin hoarding. They eliminated the penny in Canada years ago and consumers simply round to the nearest 5 cents. Speaking of 5 cents, the nickel is also far more costly to produce than its face value, so there’s reason to believe this administration may consider the costs of minting coins in general. The government would not shock public confidence by discontinuing all US coinage at once. The penny, the lowest denomination of our physical currency, is the most digestible way to ease into the concept of no longer minting coins. Pennies will still be regarded as legal tender and can be used in transactions the same way that the $2 bill can be exchanged. But the ultimate goal is to push us into a cashless society.

Trump signed an executive order titled “Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology,” prohibiting the central bank from creating a CBDC. The executive order also offers a framework for the US government to begin regulating crypto, with David Sacks appointed as the AI and Crypto Czar. Trump plans to boost US holdings of bitcoin and would also like to boost the production of “Made in America” bitcoins. Again, the government has always had backdoor access to blockchain.

I have stated for some time that the Federal Reserve will not create a CBDC as that would violate the 4th Amendment. Instead, individual banks will be encouraged to create their own currencies, which can then be tracked, traced, and reported to the government.

Biden and Blinken Lose Security Clearances

February 11, 2025

Trump 7 18 24 RNC

The Trump Administration has determined that a handful of current and former public servants do not need access to sensitive government information. “JOE, YOU’RE FIRED!” the president posted on Truth Social before removing former President Joe Biden’s security clearances.

“If there are people that we don’t respect, if there are people that we thought that were breaking the law or came very close to it in previous years, we do it,” Trump said. “And we’ve done it with some people, we’ve done it with Biden himself.”

Previously, former presidents would continue receiving intelligence briefings. Though former presidents lose formal security clearances, they would continue to receive select information as a courtesy. Former President Joe Biden derailed that tradition when he took office and denied Trump intelligence briefings due to his “erratic behavior.”

Politico Fake News Hunter Laptop

The other most notable, almost comical, person to have their security clearance revoked is none other than top neocon and former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who Trump has labeled a “bad guy.” Blinken played a key role in orchestrating the Russian collusion hoax. Blinken and 51 former intelligence officials took it upon themselves to publicize a letter that deemed the Hunter Biden laptop discovery ”a Russian information operation.” His role in hiding the Biden crime family’s activities from the public was blatant 2020 election interference. Let us not forget the nature of the Biden crime family’s role in Ukraine and Blinken’s role in fueling America’s position in that war.

Others, such as Jake Sullivan, the former national security adviser, and Lisa Monaco, former deputy attorney general, also had their security clearances revoked. Monaco played a key role in the Department of Justice’s investigation into January 6.

Corrupt New York DA Alvin Bragg and Attorney General Letitia James lost their clearances. These two went above and beyond to bend the law in an attempt to prevent Trump from seeking reelection. Andrew Weissmann, Mark Zaid, and Norm Eisen, lawyers who have notoriously targeted Trump, have also had their clearances eliminated. Zaid has told the New York Times that he has the right to due process, stating Trump and “his partisan minions” will not deter him from “holding them accountable ot the rule of law.”

Trump is seeking retribution for all those who have wronged him. But in wronging him, these people also wronged the American people by denying their voices and attempting to demonize a favored political candidate and his ideologies. The message is not merely revenge but a signal that these people are no longer welcome in Washington where they once held tremendous power under the Biden-Harris regime.

Letita James and 20 Dem AGs Attack DOGE

February 11, 2025

James Loretta

New York Attorney General Letitia James will not stop her relentless manhunt against Donald Trump. Her attempts to prevent Trump from taking the presidency failed. “This illegitimate president [Trump] — I look forward to going into the office of the attorney general every day, suing him, and then going home,” James said years ago, as her entire career revolves around taking down one man.

Donald Trump has revoked her security clearances. Still, she is fighting tooth and nail to find any charge to pin on the president. She has already filed and/or joined numerous lawsuits against Trump since his inauguration. Most recently, Letitia James partnered with 20 other Democrat AGs to sue the Trump Administration for providing DOGE with access to the US Treasury Department’s payment system.

The group of AGs has obtained a temporary restraining order (TRO) to block Trump from freezing federal funds for what they deem as essential services, such as gender-affirming care for minors.

This group of lawmakers is actively attempting to prevent Trump and DOGE from eliminating government waste, including the public sector that multiplied under Biden. Letita’s rhetoric centers around being a voice for the public sector whose jobs must be protected. “The administration’s plan to eliminate thousands of federal employees’ jobs is dangerous and would be disastrous for our country,” said James.

Yet, James discredits the wishes and votes of every American citizen who voted to eliminate excessive government spending and reduce the size of government. Billions have gone unaccounted for and we are to turn a blind eye? Why should taxpayers be forced to pay for a bloated government that no longer serves them? These people do not want Musk and his team to see the extent of government waste.

Letitia James does not care about public sector workers either, for that matter. She petitioned the Supreme Court to uphold New York’s vaccine mandate and turned a blind eye to the thousands who lost their jobs for refusing the vaccine. James argued against any religious vaccine exemptions. She said that the only people who should be exempt are those who had a “severe or immediate allergic reaction” after already taking a dose of the experimental vaccine.

The truth is that Attorney General Letitia James and her supporters are not only against Donald Trump, but they are against the American people. The people spoke with their vote but these relentless individuals want to override the wishes of the public. They only believe in democracy when the people vote as they see fit.

DOGE was Created by Obama – Not Trump

2025_02_09_18_35_46_House_Dem_Rips_His_Party_For_Calling_Everything_Trump_Does_Dictatorial_Or_Illeg

REPLY: Sorry. You are just a Trump hater, so you do not look at the facts. Do you still wear a mask when driving alone in your car, too? Whatever he does must somehow be illegal. Even Democrat Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) of Maine criticized his party’s because they are putting out just hate that will destroy this country. He correctly pointed out that the Democrats are calling every move Trump makes as authoritarian or “illegal.”

Marx Museum Aetheists

I am sorry, but the Democratic Party is self-destructing. Our computer has NEVER been wrong on such political trends. The Party will become extinct just as the Federalists for the same exact approach – dictatorial centralized power.  The progressives have seized control of the Party and transformed it into an authoritarian regime. Just look at the abortion issue. They tell the Bible Belt to shut up, you do not matter, and like all Marx-followers, they are anti-religion and see it as just the opium of the masses. Marxists converted churches into museums of atheism.  They do not believe in any God and think that they are here to be the god on earth to recreate society as they think it should be. Their manipulation of the economy was to eliminate the business cycle and to accomplish that confiscate all the wealth of the rich.

2025_02_09_18_43_48_Fetterman_says_Democratic_Party_brand_is_toxic_thanks_to_constant_shaming_and

This hatred of the right has always surfaced into blood-baths. The Revolutions inspired by Marxism were great purges of anyone who disagreed. Under Biden, they manipulated the Constitution and told Big Tech to censor people they did not like. They started the Cancel Culture. CNN and MSNBC have become toxic, and their viewership has collapsed because of their anti-American positions that promote only one side. Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman agreed that his party’s brand has grown “toxic after years of “shaming and scolding” voters and even questioned if they can turn it around.

Democrats are freaking out over what they argue is an illegal chaotic blitz by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. Naturally, at least a half-dozen federal agencies and departments are screaming that the billionaire’s assault on government is breaking the law. They seem to gloss over the fact that Trump did not create this out of thin air. Obama made back in 2014 the United States Digital Service a technology unit housed within the Executive Office of the President of the United States. The purpose was to provide consultation services to federal agencies on information technology. Its mandate was to improve and simplify digital service with the explicit directive to streamline and improve federal websites. It was launched on August 11th, 2014.

Trump merely took the acronym and repurposed it as the United States DOGE Service on January 20th, 2025. Instead of USDS (Digital Service), it became the U.S. DOGE Service  to “implement the President’s DOGE Agenda.” There is NOTHING illegal about DOGE. Obama initially established it, and nobody screamed then. Nobody screamed when the Biden Administration was calling the shots, creating the Cancel Culture, and banks were closing accounts of gun dealers and gold dealers all because it offended Democrats.

Democrats 2 9 25

This is an email I received from the Democrats on Sunday, February 9th. They refuse to accept democracy. It is their way or no way. There are conservative Democrats who are seeing their party indeed becoming anti-American and Toxic.

Voters defend Trump and Musk’s spending cuts, challenge Democrats to show they have nothing to hide

Gulf of America

February 10, 2025

2025_02_10_11_35_10_Sunday_is_first_ever_Gulf_of_America_Day_announces_Donald_Trump_flying_to_Super

QUESTION: Do you not see the arrogance in Trump renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America? This is outrageous.

FJ

ANSWER: Look, I understand people say they are American, meaning they are from the United States. Historically, it was named the Gulf of Mexico because the Spanish owned almost everything from Florida to Texas, except for Louisiana, which Thomas Jefferson purchased from the French. We live in North America, which includes Mexico and Canada, and then there is South America. Technically, renaming the Gulf of Mexico from when it was all Mexico to the Gulf of America is not the Gulf of the United States. It is proper because “America” is not formally the United States of America.

Vespucci Amerigo

America is named after Amerigo Vespucci, the Italian explorer who set forth the then-revolutionary concept that the lands that Christopher Columbus sailed to in 1492 were part of a separate continent. Columbus thought he found India, which is why we call the indigenous people American Indians. To say Trump is being arrogant is questionable. The Gulf of America is probably more accurate since this is all of North America. Calling it the Gulf of the USA or something like that would be arrogant.
