Dan's Take on History, Politics and Current Events

Should students in higher education take an Operation Mockingbird project towards to their graduation? Even in high school, maybe? Here in the US. You decide. https://schoolhistory.co.uk/modern/operation-mockingbird/ https://www.agreenroadjournal.com/2014/05/via-operation-mockingbird-cia-is-now.html

4/24/24 Update: As mentioned in the vlog before the judge was to hear both sides’ briefs on hearsay. The judge accepted Vitali’s housemate’s testimony. Copied and pasted the below from the docket: Date FiledDescription Apr 24, 2024 MINUTE ORDER as to VITALI GOSSJANKOWSKI: At the evidentiary hearing on April 8, 2024, the government objected to the testimony of Mr. GossJankowski's former housemate, Kyle Sexton, that Mr. GossJankowski made certain statements after returning from the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. The Court provisionally admitted Mr. Sexton's testimony and ordered the parties to brief the hearsay issues involved. After carefully considering the briefs submitted by the parties, the Court will admit Mr. Sexton's testimony in full under Rule 801(d)(1)(B) of the Federal Rules of Evidence for reasons to be explained at the resumed evidentiary hearing on April 26, 2024. Signed by Judge Paul L. Friedman on April 24, 2024. (lcak)

Vitali has NOT been sentenced as of yet. Timeline is the key, as mentioned in the vlog.

Eye-opening interview. Must watch. “Foundation For Freedom Online" director Mike Benz speaks about how the Western defense and foreign policy establishment created, used, and then turned against the concept of free speech on the internet, during an interview with Tucker Carlson.“ VERY important piece of information for you and me… This is where things are now in Ukraine… see immediately below: "In 2014, after the coup in Ukraine, there was an unexpected countercoup where Crimea and the Donbas broke away with essentially a military backstop that NATO was highly unprepared for at the time," he said. "They had one last hail-mary chance that was the Crimea annexation vote in 2014, and when the hearts and minds of the people of Crimea voted to join the Russian Federation, that was the last straw for the concept of free speech on the internet in the eyes of NATO. They saw the fundamental nature of war change at that moment."

The thing is... states like Minnesota and Virginia gave Trump HUGE numbers even though they had open primaries! That itself is a significantly positive sign for Trump. Open primaries: Alabama, Arkansas, Minnesota, Texas, Vermont and Virginia. As for Vermont, that's probably why Haley won but not by a big margin.

Status for the following: 1.) NY for hush money: Trial begins on March 25, 2024. 34 counts. First of 4 indictments against Trump 2.) Fulton County for RICO: After the disqualification hearing yesterday a decision to be handed down in 2 weeks whether to disqualify Fani Willis and Nate Wade or giving them a pass. My gut tells me Fani and Nate will be given a pass. 3.) J6 DC: On hold indefinitely. Trial in late September at the latest. Verdict by the election date? Unlikely. 4.) Classified Documents FL: Judge Cannon says no to Jack Smith's July 2024 date proposal. Trump asking for August 2024. No decision made on the new date yet. So the May 20, 2024 date is out of the window. I think the reason the Judge Cannon has not decided on the new date yet is the Smith's refusal to give the Trump team a list of witnesses. Also, Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA) is a big issue: Https://www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Screen-Shot-2023-07-10-at-5.39.14-PM.png. Both Trump and Smith have different views on how the Act is written. Sensitive information is a big problem to resolve before the jury is selected. Background checks needed for Trump lawyers? If so, Trump needs A LOT of time before a trial could begin. What about jurors? That's probably another reason why the judge has not decided on a trial date yet. Many moving parts at once... Colorado Ballot Decision not yet announced from the SCOTUS... SCOTUS usually announces decisions on Mondays and Thursdays at 10:00am. In this case, the decision on the ballot has not been announced because both Colorado and Maine keep Trump on the respective ballot for now. Both states are in the Super Tuesday group. Maybe the Court will make an announcement next Monday the 4th? Illinois not on Super Tuesday. Judge Traci Porter who kicked Trump off the Illinois ballot will be recalled before her term expires in 2028? The MSM is exposing its bias BIG time but it does not care? What was wrong with Catherine Herridge, Miguel Almaguer and Emerald Robinson, plus many others? Were they fired for letting us know what really went on? The MSM is the truth killer. It has been for some time now. Not new. Real journalism is now being extinct?! Can we save it?! We can.

US Supreme Court docket # is 23-939. https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/022824zr3_febh.pdf - Petitioner (Trump) reply and amicus curiae in support of party or neither party, if any, by March 19 - Respondent (US Government) brief and amicus curiae in support of party, if any, by April 8 - Reply brief by April 15. - SC will hear oral argument(s) during the week of April 22, 2024 Chronological timeline from the J6 indictment to today. 3 scenarios on immunity rulings for Trump: 1.) If SC issues a no immunity ruling in late May, Trump and Smith have 3 months to catch up with respective motions (Dec. 2023 and March 2024). Judge Chutkan put a "work stop" for both sides. Trial to start late August... (potential) 2.) SC issues no-immunity ruling at the end of June, Trial in September, possible. No chance to get a verdict by Election Date. 3rd and last: US SC reverses the Appeals Court's mandate. The classified documents Trial in Florida, scheduled for May 20, 2024, is up in the air? Postponed, indefinitely? The GA case is also an question mark. The Judge McAfee may make a decision as soon as tomorrow, March 1. Fani Willis to be disqualified or given a pass? Will other prosecutors in GA take up the case, if Fani is out? A big question mark! The NY case by Alvin Braggs is a bit tricky... We will see what happens... The speed of the whole thing is not normal at all because it involves a US president, the judicial and legal personnel, like Chutkan, Cannon, and lawyers for both sides will, I HOPE, make careful and logical decisions. However they make decisions will probably impact Americans in many ways for years to come.

Air of hope, relief and encouragement... after the resounding wins in Iowa, NH and Nevada... The 2022-2023 polls were going up to new heights after each time PDJT was indicted. Yet, some people still had some doubts. After the recent wins, the confidence has risen dramatically. Everyone was pleasant and friendly to each other, it was a huge plus. Very accommodating to each other. https://www.cpachungary.com/en/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Epoch_Times "Today, The Epoch Times is one of the country’s most successful and influential conservative news organizations.
