SOTT Focus: 'The Council' - Who is Running the United States of America? Unveiling the Faces of an Elitist Assault on America

justus deep state council
Introduction

"The Council" and everyone and everything that emanates from them, has controlled the United States for the past fifty years for the purpose of extracting our nation's wealth. Our constitutional government and the federal workforce's purpose is to protect our wealth, and the "public good" of the American people. "The Council's" purpose is to crush and destroy it.

They use the tools of indictments, obstruction, and government agencies they have weaponized to attack their enemies under false color of law. They alone select who will be winners and losers in politics, business, the economy, media, elections, education, and do so with complete amorality.

Exposing them by name, their corruption and means of control, and identifying how to dismantle their illegitimate power is the first step in the restoration of the United States of America as a constitutional republic.

Kamala Harris campaign 'editing news headlines to make it look like publishers back her'

Presidential candidate's team accused of secretly altering Google adverts for links to media groups including The Guardian, CNN and Reuters.

Kamala Harris's campaign has been accused of secretly editing news headlines in Google advertisements to make it appear as if well-known media organisations are on her side.

Although the advertisements are labelled as sponsored, they appear alongside Google search results to make them look like genuine articles from news outlets such as The Guardian, CNN and Reuters.

In reality, the "fake news" words have been written by campaign workers trying to help the vice-president, 59, beat Donald Trump in November's presidential election, according to a report by Axios.

The altered headlines and article descriptions, which are visible to Google users above links to the corresponding news websites, have been changed without the publishers' knowledge, according to Axios.

Comment: 'By way of deception': As goes a campaign, so goes a presidency.

Israel approves new West Bank settlement on UNESCO World Heritage Site

Over recent months, Tel Aviv has expedited the approval of illegal settlement expansions across the West Bank in a bid to block the creation of an independent Palestinian state.

The Israeli government on 14 August officially approved municipal boundaries for a new settlement on a UNESCO World Heritage Site near Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.

Jewish supremacist Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who lives in an illegal settlement, said via social media said his office had "completed its work and published a plan for the new Nahal Heletz settlement in Gush Etzion," a bloc of settlements south of occupied Jerusalem.

The Israeli official, who lives in an illegal settlement, said via social media:
"No anti-Israeli and anti-Zionist decision will stop the development of settlements. We will continue to fight against the dangerous project of creating a Palestinian state by creating facts on the ground. This is my life's mission, and I will continue it as much as I can."
All of Israel's settlements in the West Bank occupied since 1967, are considered illegal under international law, regardless of whether they have planning permission or not.

Comment: Supremacy: the state or condition of being superior to all others in authority, power, or status. True to form Israel has succeeded beyond self-serve to become 'it's own single beneficiary'.

US deploys missile submarine to Middle East

The Pentagon also ordered a carrier strike group equipped with F-35 fighter jets to the region in order to defend Israel.

The US is accelerating military deployments to the Middle East as it seeks to defend Israel amid reports of a potential Iranian attack, according to a statement by the Pentagon issued on Sunday.

Iran has been vowing retaliation against the Jewish State after the killing of former Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on July 31, hours after he attended the inauguration of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.

The Pentagon's statement said that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has ordered a guided missile submarine and the 'USS Abraham Lincoln' aircraft carrier equipped with F-35 fighter jets to the region.

"Secretary Austin reiterated the United States' commitment to take every possible step to defend Israel," the statement, issued following a phone call Austin had with his Israeli counterpart, Yoav Gallant, reads.

Gallant's office said he had discussed the "interoperability" of Israeli and US forces in the region with Austin. The Israeli minister has warned: "Whoever harms us in a way that has not been done in the past, is likely to be hit in a way that hasn't been done in the past.
"I hope it won't get to a point where they will force us to cause significant damage and increase the chances of war breaking out on additional fronts. We do not want this, but we must be prepared."

Comment: Strategies: Iran plays the waiting game. Israel drops bombs. US ups the ante. Not hard to see where this is going.

Harris 'declines' Time magazine interview as she continues to dodge the press

Harris has not given interview or held formal press conference since becoming Democratic nominee

Vice President Kamala Harris' team declined an interview with TIME as it continued to deny media access, according to the magazine's glowing cover story about her rise to the top of the Democratic ticket.

Harris has gone 22 days as of Monday without holding a formal press conference or sit-down interview since emerging as the Democratic Party's nominee after President Biden announced he had dropped out of the race. Both Biden and former President Trump sat down for lengthy interviews with TIME as candidates for president.

The Monday cover story briefly noted that Harris refused to sit down for an interview for the highly favorable story: "Harris has yet to do a single substantive interview or to explain her policy shifts. (Her campaign denied a request for an interview for this story.)"

Comment: Kamala is such a loose cannon when not in front of a teleprompter, it will probably take a ton of coaching make sure she knows her lines and stays on message when confronted with real people. "End of the month" is about two weeks. Can she manage it?

Judge Merchan rejects Donald Trump's latest demand to step aside from hush money criminal case

© Associated PressJudge Juan M. Merchan rejected Donald Trump's request for a new judge in his New York "hush money" criminal case.
Donald Trump has lost his latest bid to oust the judge in his criminal hush money case — as his possible sentencing date looms next month.

In a ruling posted Wednesday, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan ripped the former president for recycling "stale and unsubstantiated" claims that he should step aside because of his daughter's past consulting work for prominent Democrats.

Merchan had already twice swatted away Trump's claims that he should recuse himself, and has repeatedly pledged to base his rulings "on the evidence and the law, without fear or favor, casting aside undue influence."

Comment: More on the corrupt Merchan, who is is a disgrace to the judiciary:

Kursk attack: A military red line has been crossed, so what now?

The UN has once again failed to formulate a position on the invasion of Russian territory by Ukrainian forces. The US and the EU have so far confined themselves to vague statements. Official Kiev at the highest level has also been relatively quiet. The Ukrainian public mainly relies on Russian sources for information, and foreign military experts have also refrained from making detailed predictions.

Apparently, the outside world is still not fully aware of what is going on, hence the muted reactions. The principle of "something needs to be said, but it is not clear what exactly that should be" can be detected. For example, the "paper of record," The Washington Post, quoting analysts, put forward the hypotheses that one of the reasons for Kiev's invasion of Kursk Region was to disrupt Russian gas supplies to Western Europe.

The basis for such claims was the situation around the gas metering station near Sudzha, about which much has been written recently. It's not clear who controls it right now. Sure, if the valve is shut off, the gas really will stop flowing, that's obvious. However, in order to disrupt supplies, it wasn't necessary to cross the Russian border. This can easily be done from Ukrainian territory, because that's where the pipeline passes through. In any case, at the time of writing the fuel is flowing as normal.

This is the cynical peculiarity of our times. Business comes first, and even hostilities do not get in the way.

US approves new $20bn weapons sale to Israel

The US government has approved more than $20 billion in new arms sales to Israel, despite pressure on President Joe Biden's administration to end the bloodshed in Gaza.

In a series of notifications to Congress on Tuesday, the State Department said Washington is "committed to the security of Israel, and it is vital to US national interests to assist Israel in developing and maintaining a strong and ready self-defense capability."

The main part of the package, worth about $18.8 billion, consists of 50 new F-15IA fighter jets and the upgrade of 25 of the aircraft already in service. Israel also intends to buy Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM) for the jets, nearly 33,000 120mm tank cartridges, up to 50,000 high-explosive mortars, and new military cargo vehicles.

The State Department said the proposed sale "will not alter the basic military balance in the region" and will have "no adverse impact on US defense readiness."

Netanyahu trades barbs with defense minister over Gaza war

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant have clashed over the country's goals in the Gaza war, exposing a rift within the Israeli government.

Gallant was dismissive of Netanyahu's promise to achieve "total victory" over Hamas in Gaza, according to Israeli media, which cited Tally Gotliv, an MP from the ruling Likud party.

At a private security briefing at the Knesset on Monday, Gallant, who has frequently called for a ceasefire agreement with Hamas, described Netanyahu's goal as "gibberish" and a "beating of war drums." Shortly after the meeting, Gotliv took to X (formerly Twitter) to criticize the defense minister, calling on the prime minister to fire him.

Later in the day, Netanyahu's office issued a statement, accusing Gallant of adopting an "anti-Israel" stance, and suggesting he direct his criticism at Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, describing him as "the only obstacle" to a deal.

"When Gallant adopts an anti-Israel narrative, he hurts the chances of reaching a hostage deal," the statement read, as quoted by the Times of Israel.

Comment: For Netanyahu, the only solution to the Palestinian problem is a final one.

Attempted Trump assassin Thomas Crooks trained at same gun range used by DHS

Clairton Sportsmen’s Club logbook
© Senator Chuck GrassleyThe Clairton Sportsmen’s Club logbook from May 22 and 23 — when Crooks and the Department of Homeland Security both trained at the Pennsylvania range.
Attempted Trump assassin Thomas Crooks practiced shooting at his preferred gun range the day before the Department of Homeland Security conducted a training there — just two months before he opened fire at the former president's rally.

Crooks, 20, visited the Clairton Sportsmen's Club in Pennsylvania on May 22 around 3:10 p.m., where he practiced alone at the rifle range, according to a club logbook obtained by Sen. Chuck Grassley's (R-IA) office.

The very next day, beginning at noon, DHS conducted a "police training" at the range with at least three people, club records show.

Clairton's rifle range where Crooks would have practiced is 200 yards long — more than enough space for him to practice the 150-yard shot he would take at Trump on July 13, wounding the former president and killing a bystander.

It is unclear whether DHS regularly held trainings there, or if the May 23 visit was an uncommon occurrence.

Comment: One can get pretty darn good with a weapon with that amount of practice, though thankfully Crooks wasn't good enough to fulfill his goal. It is noteworthy that this isn't the first time Crooks was found to be in close proximity to Federal agents: 'Crooks did not act alone': Mobile data reveals someone who regularly visited Thomas Crooks also visited building in Washington DC near FBI office
