GOP Rep. Meuser presses SEC over delayed Truth Social merger

"Please know that congressional scrutiny of this matter will continue," he warned.

Pennsylvania Republican Rep. Dan Meuser on Tuesday asked that Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler expeditiously consider a settlement involving Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC) so as to advance its merger with the Trump Media & Technology Group ahead of a looming deadline to complete the deal.

"The SEC's primary mission is to protect investors, maintain fair markets, and facilitate capital formation," Meuser wrote. "Yet, the current inaction and delay surrounding the DWAC SPAC settlement and S-4 review contradicts these fundamental objectives."

Dan Meuser letter to Gary Gensler

Digital World is a a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) that aims to merge with the firm operating Truth Social and thereby enable the platform's appearance on the stock exchange. That process has long been delayed due to SEC scrutiny of Digital World; the merger proposal has a limited lifespan slated to end on Sept. 8.

DWAC filed its S-4 registration with the SEC in May of last year to merge with the Trump-controlled firm, but the SEC investigation has caused the commission to refuse to review the registration.

Digital world has already reached a "settlement in principle" with the SEC's Division of Enforcement over securities violations, however, though it still needs commission approval before the Division of Corporate Finance can review Digital World's registration.

Meuser asked for the commission's "prompt consideration" of the settlement so as to expedite the process ahead of the looming deadline.

"Please know that congressional scrutiny of this matter will continue," he warned. "We trust that all components of the SEC will work towards a swift resolution that promotes public confidence in the Commission and allows for prompt consideration of DWAC's filing."

The lengthy delay of the merger has led some to suggest that the SEC is deliberately attempting to kill the deal in a bid to punish former President Donald Trump financially.

Trump Media & Technology Group CEO Devin Nunes has pointed to the abundance of individuals with ties to the former president's political rivals in senior positions at the SEC.

"[Y]ou've got Gensler there, who[m] we outed as the guy who actually was the CFO for the Hillary campaign, who actually wrote the check to Fusion GPS," he said in April. "You have Peter Strzok's wife, who is there, the disgraced FBI agent who was running the Russia hoax. You have the general counsel there at the SEC, happens to be she used to work for Pelosi has now graduated up."

He further accused Gensler of working "overtime to try to kill our company."

"We're a privately held company. We've been attempting to merge with a finance company. It's a well-known mechanism," he said. "The stockholders, the shareholders have voted overwhelmingly to stay involved in this. We have said that, 'look, we'd like to get this deal completed.' But it just goes nowhere. And it makes no sense."

Meuser noted in his letter that he was writing on behalf of 350,000 retail investors who collectively control about $420 million. Firms conventionally seek to go public as a means of raising capital to finance expansion.

Ukraine Sitrep - Reality Defeats The War Narrative

At the beginning of the war in Ukraine I pointed out that the false narrative of 'Ukraine is winning' which the 'western' propaganda steadily promoted would not win the real war on the ground.

As the war continued I made the point again and again.

Propaganda Does Not Change The War - The Ukraine Is Still Losing - Updated - March 25, 2022

Ukraine - War Propaganda And News Items - October 11, 2022

No - Such Propaganda Delusions Will Not Win The War - June 07, 2023

In this week's SCF column Alastair Crooke makes the same point in much more detail.

A Bonfire of the Vanities

Hubris consists in believing that a contrived narrative can, in and of itself, bring victory. It is a fantasy that has swept through the West – most emphatically since the 17th century. Recently, the Daily Telegraph published a ridiculous nine minute video purporting to show that ‘narratives win wars’, and that set-backs in the battlespace are incidentals: What matters is to have a thread of unitary narrative articulated, both vertically and horizontally, throughout the spectrum – from the special forces’ soldier in the field through to the pinnacle of the political apex.

The gist of it is that ‘we’ (the West) have compelling a narrative, whilst Russia’s is ‘clunky’ – ‘Us winning therefore, is inevitable’.

It is easy to scoff, but nonetheless we can recognise in it a certain substance (even if that substance is an invention). Narrative is now how western élites imagine the world.

…

The weakness to this new ‘liberal’ authoritarianism is that its key narrative myths can get busted. One just has; slowly, people begin to speak reality.

Ukraine: How do you win an unwinnable war? Well, the élite answer has been through narrative. By insisting against reality that Ukraine is winning, and Russia is ‘cracking’. But such hubris eventually is busted by facts on the ground. Even the western ruling classes can see their demand for a successful Ukrainian offensive has flopped. At the end, military facts are more powerful than political waffle: One side is destroyed, its many dead become the tragic ‘agency’ to upending dogma.

Even as reality seeps out the narrative of a 'successful' western battle tactics in form of combined arms warfare gets reinforced.

Ukraine aims to sap Russia’s defenses, as U.S. urges a decisive breakthrough - Washington Post

Western officials and analysts say Ukraine’s military has so far embraced an attrition-based approach aimed largely at creating vulnerabilities in Russian lines by firing artillery and missiles at command, transport and logistics sites at the rear of the Russian position, instead of conducting what Western military officials call “combined arms” operations that involve coordinated maneuvers by large groups of tanks, armored vehicles, infantry, artillery and, sometimes, air power.

Ukraine’s military leaders argue that, lacking aviation might, they must avoid unnecessary losses against an adversary with a far larger pool of recruits and weaponry. To preserve manpower, Ukraine has fielded just four of a dozen trained brigades in the current campaign.

WTF?

'Cannibal' coronal mass ejection from the sun will smash into Earth TODAY – and could spark geomagnetic storms and trigger power outages, scientists warn

Multiple solar storms and 'dark eruption' led to the formation of 'cannibal' cloud

This ejection of gas is fairly rare and could spark geomagnetic storms on Earth

It's pretty common for Earth to be struck by coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that have erupted from the sun.

But what is less familiar to scientists is the terrifyingly-named 'cannibal' ejection of energetic and highly magnetised gas, which is exactly what is currently on a collision course with our planet.

Having originated from multiple solar storms and an unusual 'dark eruption', there are fears the cannibal CME could spark a weak geomagnetic storm when it hits Earth today (Tuesday).

Although this is unlikely to significantly affect our electronic systems, satellites, or power grids, scientists have warned there is the possibility of minor outages and blackouts.

Sean Elvidge, an associate professor of space environment at the University of Birmingham, told MailOnline: 'These storms manifest as major disturbances in Earth's magnetic field, potentially causing various space weather effects.

America First Legal Files Lawsuit Against Attorney General Merrick Garland and Biden DOJ Over Failure to Enforce Hunter Biden’s Foreign Agent Registration

America First Legal (AFL) launched a lawsuit against Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice (DOJ) led by Joe Biden, citing non-compliance with requirements to have Hunter Biden register as a foreign agent during the tenure of his father as Vice President.

AFL, in a detailed thread, outlined the key reasons behind this lawsuit. Earlier this year, through litigation against the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), AFL obtained emails confirming Hunter Biden’s direct representation of Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian energy company, in its dealings with the Obama White House.

UK Amusement Park Will No Longer Host Pride Events After Drag Queen Simulated Sex Acts in Front of Children

A UK amusement park has announced that they will no longer host Pride celebrations after a drag queen simulated sex acts in front of children during an “all ages” and “family-friendly” event.

Adventure Island in Southend on Sea, Essex, is apologizing to customers after a Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK star used an angle grinder on his crotch as children looked on.

The park claims that it was trying to be “inclusive,” but that it “backfired on them.”

The drag queen at the center of the controversy, Colin Munro, performs under the alias “Crystal” and was wearing just fishnet tights, a leotard, and a pair of high heels during the sexually explicit and grotesque performance.

“Performing to the tune of Scissor Sisters’ hit Filthy/Gorgeous, Crystal made thrusting motions with his hips and ran his hand up and down the angle grinder while using it to make sparks fly from a metal plate fixed to his crotch,” the Daily Mail reported.

Philip Miller, the executive chairman of Adventure Island, told the Daily Mail that there had been “confusion” about “what we would allow or not.”

“We humbly apologise to all of our loyal customers for any offence caused,” Miller said. “There was confusion between us and the act as to what we would allow or not as it were. The grinding act was most definitely a nonstarter as we are ostensibly a family park and that is just not family entertainment.”

“Rest assured we will not be rebooking this act or participate in any future PRIDE celebrations it’s just not for us, we tried to be inclusive but it has backfired on us,” Miller added.

Though the park claimed that this was a product of “confusion,” this is the third year that Munro has performed there.

The drag queen defended the performance, telling the Mail that “nothing” he did in the performance was sexual.

“My act is no different to what you might see on Britain’s Got Talent, from Lady Gaga on MTV, or from a street performer in Covent Garden,” he claimed. “This is deemed ‘sexual’ solely because I was performing in drag.”

House approves pro-Israel resolution ahead of President Herzog's address

Israeli President Isaac Herzog is slated to address Congress on Wednesday, an event which several Democrats are planning to boycott.

The House of Representatives on Tuesday voted in favor of a resolution espousing U.S. support for Israel and rejecting categorizations of that government as "racist" or an "apartheid state."

"Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that 1) the State of Israel is not a racist or apartheid state; 2) Congress rejects all forms of antisemitism and xenophobia; and 3) the United States will always be a staunch partner and supporter of Israel," reads the text of the resolution.

The lower chamber voted 412 to 9to 1 in favor of approving it, The Hill reported. Left-wing lawmakers, including Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, N.Y., Jamaal Bowman, N.Y., Rashida Tlaib. Mich., Summer Lee, Penn., Ilhan Omar, Minn., Cori Bush, Mo., Andre Carson, Ind., Delia Ramirez, Ill., and Ayanna Pressley, Mass., voted against the resolution.

Democratic Minnesota Rep. Betty McCollum voted present.

The resolution follows remarks from Democratic Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal, who attracted conservative scrutiny for contending that Israel was a "racist state" last week.

Conservatives drop reality check after Rachel Levine suggests that kids can undergo the 'wrong puberty'

Admiral Rachel Levine, an outspoken proponent of radical leftist gender ideology, has indicated that children can undergo the "wrong puberty."

"What if you're going through the wrong puberty? What if you inside feel that you are female, but" are undergoing "male puberty?" he asked.

Levine, who made the comments during an interview with Juju Chang for ABC News' "Nightline," claimed that "for prepubertal children, there are no medical procedures done." He also described so-called "gender-affirming care" as "medical care," "mental health care," and "suicide prevention care."

Levine, a man who identifies as a woman, serves as the assistant secretary for health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. He has claimed to be the "first female four-star officer of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps."

His absurd suggestion that kids can experience the "wrong puberty" raised eyebrows and sparked pushback.

"No one can go through 'the wrong puberty.' Woke bureaucrats are lying to our children and trying to destroy our country. We must fight back," tweeted Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is currently running in the GOP presidential primary.

"Why do parents not trust the Biden Administration? Because Richard Levine thinks your child can go through the 'wrong puberty.' This isn't medicine, it's child abuse," tweeted Republican Rep. Jeff Duncan of South Carolina.

"Yes, what if you're going through the wrong puberty? Also, what if you have the wrong liver or the wrong left kneecap? What if you have the wrong eye color? What if you have the wrong DNA? These and many other questions make sense if you're a delusional schizophrenic," conservative commentator Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire tweeted.

"Insane. Nobody can go through the 'wrong' puberty," Libs of TikTok creator Chaya Raichik noted.

This is a must read on Skull and Bones and the US elite that went into banking, universities, government, think tanks, major industries, etc. Its by Dr. Anthony Sutton (now deceased) who had extensive insider connections and explains thoroughly how the whole system was set up in this text, as well as in his video series.

This is the real story on Skull and Bones, the Russell Trust, the Harriman connections to Prescott Bush, how the US university system was manipulated to their advantage, their expansion into academics, government and other institutions. It paints a picture of how we end up where we are now with places like John Hopkins University and characters like Carl Gershman running NED and causing chaotic regime change wars.

Newly Unearthed Information About the Presidential “Football” Reveals Details of Emergency Planning at the Highest Levels of Government

While the United States continues its controlled descent into madness under the leadership of President Joe Biden, newly unearthed information about past executive-level contingency powers provides a deeper understanding of what Americans could expect in the event of a national emergency.

William Burr, a senior analyst at the nonprofit National Security Archive, today published a report that explores the previously unknown documentation — providing multiple clues about the contents of the famed presidential “Football” — that for decades has remained hidden away from the public.

Burr’s brief further explains:

“Since the late 1950s, U.S. military personnel traveling with the President have carried a special case known variously as the ‘satchel,’ the ‘black bag,’ the ’emergency actions pouch,’ and, as it is perhaps best known, the ‘Football.’ Epitomizing presidential control of nuclear weapons, the Football and the military aides who carry it enable the President to make decisions about the use of nuclear weapons in the event of a sudden military crisis.”

The declassified documentation provides a rare glimpse into the details of executive orders known as Presidential Emergency Action Documents (PEADs) through communications from numerous high-level government officials, including Edward A. McDermott, who served as Deputy Director of the Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization throughout the 1960s.

According to McDermott, the purpose of the documents held safely in the Football was “to clothe the President with formal emergency powers,” even though at least some were of “doubtful legality.”

Among the contingency powers with questionable legality were the suspension of habeas corpus, the declaration of martial law, and the authorization of mass arrests and even arbitrary detention.

The documents illustrate a decades-long debate between White House officials who were “worried about the status of the PEADs.”

Among those whose communications are now public are former National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, Reagan’s NSA Director William Odom, and even President Carter’s second cousin, Hugh Carter, Jr., who expressed that the PEADs were “obsolete given the total devastation which could be expected from a thermonuclear attack on the US.”

The many concerns among White House officials seemingly led FEMA in 1980 to turn over updated documents to the White House to be included in the new and improved Football.

But while much light has now been shed on the nature of the ultra-secret emergency planning in previous decades, it remains unknown if the many concerns about constitutional legality were ever completely resolved.

With President Biden’s deteriorating mental capacity on full display while his administration pushes America ever closer to the brink of nuclear conflict, it becomes a disturbingly reasonable possibility that plans from the Football could be put into action.

And considering news that President Trump may soon be put behind bars, all bets are off for the future of the United States Constitution.

China's Evergrande Reports $113 Billion Loss Over Two Years

Two years after it was halted, left for dead, and effectively bankrupted in a controlled demolition, China's one-time property giant, Evergrande, reported long-delayed results and boy were they a whopper: they showed that in 2021 and 2022, the company generated mindblowing losses of $113 billion, on $340 billion in liabilities.

The losses - The company’s first since its 2009 listing, and a sharp reversal from the 8 billion yuan profit in 2020 - showed “the existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern”, Evergrande said in a stock exchange filing, which of course is irrelevant since much of the defaulted company's capital structure has been in some state of restructuring ever since 2021.

Once China’s largest real estate company, Evergrande was the match that lit China's property crisis in 2021 when it was found to be drowning in more than $300 billion in liabilities, sparking a nationwide property crisis that had global ramifications and sent the world's largest asset class (according to Goldman) reeling and plunging China's economy into a brutal slowdown from which it has been unable to recover to this day.
