Musk Settles With The SEC: Will Step Down As Tesla Chairman For 3 Years, Pay $20MM Fine, Stay As CEO

Just one day after the SEC sued Elon Musk for securities fraud, in a move that shocked many who were skeptical the US regulator would do anything more than slap a few wrists - an action which it took only after it emerged that Musk had turned down a settlement offer from the SEC in the last minute - Musk, having seen TSLA stock tank the most in three years on Friday, changed his mind once again, and agreed to settle the case.

According to a settlement filing posted on the case docket on September 29, the SEC settlement is on almost identical terms to the deal he had rejected as recently as Thursday morning: it will require Musk to step down for 3 years as Chairman (up from two years in the 1st deal), pay a $20 million fine, comply with Tesla's mandatory procedures for how to tweet going forward, however it means he will be able to continue as the company's CEO and return as Chairman after 3 short years.

As part of the deal, Musk will also neither admit nor deny guilt, effectively confirming that all those who were skeptical of the SEC's regulatory interests, were correct after all as the settlement now makes any potential criminal case far more complicated.

And, we'll repeat it because it bears repeating, having cost ordinary investors billions of dollars with his manipulative, fraudulent tweet, all the SEC asks is for Musk to make sure he preclears all his future tweets that "contain information material to the Company." One couldn't make this up.

Deep State FBI Operatives in FBI Are Already Leaking Info to Liberal Media Less Than One Day After Launch of Kavanaugh Investigation

On Friday Jeff Flake forced the Republican led Senate to open an FBI investigation on the 36-year-old sexual assault charges on Judge Brett Kavanaugh at an unknown place and time.

It took the Deep State FBI less than 24 hours to leak information to the press on the FBI investigation.

The FBI continues to disappoint.

The FBI has already contacted the second accuser Deborah Ramirez who alleged Kavanaugh was swinging his dick in her face.

This is the modern day Democrat Party.

The Washington Post reported, via Conservative Treehouse:

The FBI has begun contacting people as part of an additional background investigation of Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, including a second woman who alleges that the Supreme Court nominee sexually assaulted her, according to people familiar with the unfolding investigation.

The bureau has reached out to Deborah Ramirez, a Yale University classmate of Kavanaugh’s who alleges that he shoved his genitals in her face at a party where she had been drinking and become disoriented, her attorney said Saturday.

“She has agreed to cooperate with their investigation,” Ramirez attorney John Clune said in a statement. “Out of respect for the integrity of the process, we will have no further comment at this time.”

Senator Hatch Sends Letter to FBI Director Wray Demanding He Contact WH Counsel if Any Witness Seeks to Delay Kavanaugh Probe

Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) sent FBI Director Christopher Wray a letter Saturday to ensure the supplemental FBI probe into Kavanaugh meets Trump’s designated timeline.

President Trump ordered a supplemental FBI background investigation of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh Friday afternoon after Senator Flake threw the SCOTUS vote into chaos demanding an FBI probe prior to the full Senate floor vote.

“I’ve ordered the FBI to conduct a supplemental investigation to update Judge Kavanaugh’s file. As the Senate has requested, this update must be limited in scope and completed in less than one week,” Trump said in a statement Friday.

As expected, in a statement released Friday, Ford’s lawyer Debra Katz urged no limits to time or scope on FBI probe of Kavanaugh.

Republican Senator Orrin Hatch knows the left is up to their old tricks and will do everything possible to use the supplemental FBI probe into Kavanaugh to delay delay delay.

“I am writing to request, however, that you notify the White House Counsel’s Office immediately if any witness(es) or their representatives seek to delay or are uncooperative in this process,” Senator Hatch wrote in his letter to FBI Director Wray.

Senator Hatch said that one key reason for his concerns regarding a possible delay comes Christine Ford’s testimony stating she would have preferred to have been interviewed in California, out of the public eye, but her lawyers refused to convey this message to the Judiciary Committee in an effort to delay the confirmation process.

THE SEPTEMBER STING: Did the GOP just outmaneuver the Deep State Democrats?

After the Rogue CIA Psyop Against Kavanaugh Was Exposed by Alt Media

What the heck really happened during the Senate Judiciary Committee vote on Friday afternoon?!

“This charade is actually a purposefully designed plot to mobilize the Left into the voting booth. The Democrats are also looking for any opportunity to infuriate the base so as to galvanize them into a nationwide movement demanding Trump’s impeachment. There’s no better way to enrage liberals than to threaten their abortion rights. This is why pro-life Kavanaugh was set up as the perfect boogeyman, especially for the LGBTQ crowd. There’s so much more to this op than meets the eye. The various objectives will become obvious between now and Election Day. So will the true perps behind this seditious conspiracy “

The September Sting

Anyone watching the afternoon Senate Judiciary Committee session on Friday, September 28, knew there was something very wrong when most of the seats remained empty well after the official 1:30 PM start time.

Sen. Jeff Flake was meeting in the anteroom with the committee Democrats who were attempting to coerce his vote against Brett Kavanaugh after he signaled his intention to approve his nomination.

Flake took advantage of the opportunity — either wittingly or unwittingly — to make a deal. He would only vote to move the nomination out of committee with a gentlemen’s agreement to see an FBI investigation performed for the Christine Blasey Ford allegation.

The Republicans had been made fully aware via back channels that the Democrats had no intention of showing up for the vote. And that the DEMs planned on using a very dramatic and unprecedented boycott of a SCOTUS nomination vote to launch a nationwide movement to impeach Kavanaugh as a sitting SCOTUS justice, were he to be approved by the full Senate.

The GOP certainly did not want such a 50-state protest spectacle unfolding just before the midterm elections. So what did they do?

They sent in ‘super-stealthy’ Jeff Flake after he was accosted in the elevator by a fake sexually abused snowflake demanding that “he look at her” while she was haranguing him on camera. Jeff could only look downward during the unparalleled encounter in a manner of extreme shame, so it appeared. See: http://stateofthenation2012.com/?p=104972

What happened soon afterward was that Flake walked back into the Senate meeting room followed by his Democrat colleagues whereupon he rattled off his new demand if he was to vote for Kavanaugh. See: http://stateofthenation2012.com/?p=104996

2018 Has Been A Very Bad Year For Cults: God’s Army leader sentenced to 72 years

As Vanguard sits in federal custody, his chief financier Legatus is under home arrest, and his co-founder Prefect may be on the high road to cutting a plea deal, a co-founder of another cult called “God’s Army” just got sentenced to 72 years in prison for multiple crimes against children.

Deborah Green, 71, was one of the founding members of the Aggressive Christianity Missions Training Corps and went by “General” to the group’s followers.

She was convicted Tuesday on three counts of child rape, two counts of kidnapping and one count of child abuse.

Green kidnapped a woman from Uganda in the 1990s as a child and subjected her to physical and sexual torture for more than a decade.

The victim said she endured 11 surgical procedures to mend bones she claimed Green helped break.

For decades, Green and her husband, James Green, reigned over the New Mexico-based religious sect they co-founded.

Before Deborah Green’s trial, both Greens had been behind bars for more than a year, awaiting trial. James Green’s trial is set to begin in November. He faces charges of kidnapping, child abuse and tampering with evidence.

Nine alleged members of the cult were arrested in a raid on their compound in August 2017.

The Greens’ 55-year-old son-in-law, Peter Green, faces 100 counts of criminal sexual penetration of a child.

US, Canada Set To Reach Nafta Deal In "Chapter 19" For US Dairy Access Compromise

After a month of tense negotiations and with one day to go until the Sept. 30th deadline, the US and Canada are poised to announce a deal on Nafta in the last minute, ending the impasse that has jeopardized $500 billion in annual trade between the two North American neighbors, Bloomberg reports citing people familiar with the talks.

The reason for the scramble - which also includes a "heavily involved" Justin Trudeau as well as Jared Kushner - to announce a deal by Sunday is so that it can be signed by Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto before he leaves office, one month after the U.S. and Mexico reached their own bilateral agreement, triggering talks between the U.S. and Canada, which are being held around the clock this weekend. Under U.S. trade law, an agreement must be published for 60 days before it can be signed by leaders of any of the participant countries, putting negotiators on the clock to reach a deal that can be signed by Nov. 30, Pena Nieto’s final day in office.

So who "bent the knee?"

While the final document has yet to be published, the Globe and Mail reports that the Trump administration was ready to concede to Canada’s wish to keep Chapter 19′s dispute-settlement mechanism in place in exchange for greater access for U.S. dairy products.

Canada is prepared to allow U.S. dairy into Canada at rates that are higher than the 3.2 per cent under the eleven country Trans-Pacific partnership, sources said. Ottawa also made concessions on section 7, which is part of the country’s milk classification system that is used to set prices for skim milk, whole milk powder and protein concentrates. Canada was also ready to agree to the same arrangement as Mexico to raise its duty-free limit to $100, according to a source. Canada’s duty free is currently $20.

A senior Canadian official involved in the talks said there is no final written sign-off on Chapter 19 or dairy access but the insider said the two sides are close to a deal.

The talks had taken on a frenetic pace over the last 24 hours with Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of President Donald Trump, pushing for a deal before Sunday’s deadline to start a 60-day countdown to a final revamped pact being signed by the end of November.

While the two sides held off a plan to public the legal text of the agreement on Friday, the U.S. and Canada, which is the main export partner for the vast majority of US states, have reportedly solved, or made progress on the major outstanding issues, with sources saying that "at this stage no issue seems too large to overcome."
