The Best Press Availability Ever Held in the Oval Office

    The Best Press Availability Ever Held in the Oval Office

    May 6, 2025 | Sundance | 113 Comments

    I have watched it so many times and each time I have to pause it to stop laughing.  When you consider everything in the lead up to this event, this really is the best press availability ever.

    At 29:37 of the video below, President Trump is asked:

    MEDIA: “Is there anything the Prime Minister can say to you today to change your mind on tariffing Canada?” … “Is there anything he can say to you, in the course of your meeting today, that could get you to lift tariffs on Canada?”

    TRUMP: “No.”

    MEDIA: “Why not?”

    TRUMP: “Just the way it is.”

    .

    The last five minutes are so funny, so brutally honest, so genuinely instructive of the baseline from which all of the future trade aspects will take place, that it just makes you laugh at the simplicity of the problem that Canada faces. “We don’t really want cars from Canada,” in reality we don’t want anything from Canada…  lolol.

    “Look, this is all friendly.” Carney is just sitting there, like a doofus.

    Best President Ever!

American Consumer Market Just Too Valuable – India Agrees to Align with Trump Tariff and Trade Terms

    American Consumer Market Just Too Valuable – India Agrees to Align with Trump Tariff and Trade Terms

    May 5, 2025 | Sundance | 48 Comments

    India was under pressure by both sides, the USA and China.  Part of the Trump Indo-pacific plan was a geopolitical trade strategy aligning the United States with India.  However, Beijing was pressuring India to reject alignment with the USA and form a mutually beneficial trade block with China.

    India has rejected the Chinese plan and chosen to follow the USA model because access to the U.S. consumer base is the stronger economic influence.

    The result? Once again, sad Panda.

    INDIA – India has sided with the United States (US) President Donald Trump on the trade war with Xi Jinping of China. Reports indicate that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is ready to accept all conditions of the US in a trade deal.

    Trump raised tariffs on most Chinese imports to 145%, citing the need to reduce the trade deficit and encourage domestic manufacturing.

    In retaliation, China has imposed 125% tariffs on US goods and implemented non-tariff barriers, including export controls on critical rare-earth elements.

    Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Trump in the White House in February 2025.

    After the meeting, the leaders announced they would pursue a “framework” for greater cooperation.

    “ Prime Minister Modi and I have agreed that we will be in negotiations to address the long-running disparities,” Trump said.

    “But really, we want a certain level of playing field, which we really think we’re entitled to.”

    On the other hand, Modi said India and the US will have a MEGA partnership for prosperity.

    He said India is working towards a Viksit Bharat, which in the American context translates into MIGA.

    “An excellent meeting with Trump at the White House. Our talks will add significant momentum to the India-USA friendship,” Modi said.

    […] Modi’s move is despite persuasion by Yu Jing, spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in India, for Modi to join forces with the Asian country.

    Jing said India and China should stand together against US tariff actions as the two largest developing nations. (more)

Mercedes Will Make More Vehicles in USA

    German Automaker Smartly Shifts Business Plan in Response to Tariffs – Mercedes Will Make More Vehicles in USA

    May 5, 2025 | Sundance | 31 Comments

    In a decision to position for long-term tariff avoidance, Mercedes Benz will shift production of their GLC (compact SUV) to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, away from Bremen, Germany.

    Previously, the German automaker had shifted manufacturing of large SUV lines to the USA to avoid the pre-existing 25% ‘chicken tax.’  However, the smaller and less expensive crossover types were still made in Germany and shipped to the USA.  As the shipping vessels returned to Germany, they would take some of the SUV inventory back with them.  It was the most cost-effective solution, given the nature of the tariff situation.

    Now, with larger import tariffs against all vehicles, Mercedes has shifted their business model to essentially an outcome where all USA marketed/sold vehicles will be manufactured in the USA, and all EU marketed/sold vehicles will be manufactured in Germany.

    (Via Daily Mail) – Mercedes-Benz will shift production of one of its vehicles to Tuscaloosa, Alabama by 2027. The German luxury carmaker’s move is the latest response from an industry caught in the expensive crosshairs of President Donald Trump’s 25 percent tariffs.

    The decision marks a potential win for Trump’s protectionist trade agenda, which aims to boost US manufacturing by slapping steep tariffs on foreign-made goods.  But there are many complicating factors.

    The company didn’t say which model would move to America. Instead, it said the production of a ‘core segment vehicle’ will move stateside.

    Many experts predict the move will impact the production of the GLC, the company’s best-selling car in the US.

    The compact SUV is built in Bremen, Germany.

    Mercedes reported selling 64,163 units in the US in 2024, up 58 percent from the year before. (read more)

    On the other hand, BMW is still screwed because it made the prior decision to build all their new fancy auto plants in Mexico.

    Within the U.S. market, Mercedes Benz now has a strategic advantage over their German rival, BMW.

    Happy Cinco de Mayo

    May 5, 2025 | Sundance | 38 Comments

    [BACKGROUND STORY]

    “In the November election, 7 in 10 Hispanic voters in Florida said they favored reducing the number of immigrants who were allowed to seek asylum in the U.S. when they arrived at the U.S. border, according to AP VoteCast. That was in line with Florida voters overall.

    In 2024, Trump won not just Miami-Dade County but the central Florida counties of Seminole and Osceola, where many Venezuelans have immigrated, and made inroads in heavily Puerto Rican areas of Pennsylvania. He also flipped several South Texas border counties that were Democratic bastions for decades.

    What initially catapulted Trump’s popularity in South Florida was his stance on the socialist governments that many exiles and their families fled, along with his focus on boosting growth and reducing prices. But at a rally in Miami days before announcing his third White House bid in November 2022, Trump said that, contrary to the belief of some, Hispanics liked his vows to crack down on illegal immigration.” (more)

    April Jobs Report Reflects 177,000 New Jobs Beating Expectations, Federal Employment Drops 9,000

    May 2, 2025 | Sundance | 3 Comments

    The Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) has released the jobs and employment data for April [SEE HERE].  Within the data we see 177,000 jobs were gained, beating expectations of 133,000.   The unemployment rate remains unchanged at 4.2%.

    Federal government employment declined by 9,000 in April [BLS, Table B-1]  Health care added 51,000 jobs: consisting of hospitals (+22,000) and ambulatory health care services (+21,000). Transportation and warehousing increased by 29,000 jobs in April: with warehousing and storage (+10,000), couriers and messengers (+8,000), and air transportation (+3,000).

     

    (Via Wall Street Journal) – The U.S. economy continued to add jobs at a steady clip in April, although the pace of gains slowed slightly during a month that saw changing tariff announcements and market turmoil.

    The U.S. added 177,000 jobs in April, the Labor Department reported Friday, above the gain of 133,000 jobs economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had expected to see.

    The unemployment rate, which is based on a separate survey from the jobs figures, held steady at 4.2%.

    The jobs number was less than the 185,000 jobs added in March. The job gains for February and March were revised down by a combined 58,000 jobs.

    Federal-government layoffs were a drag on payrolls. Federal government employment declined by 9,000 in April.

    Stocks opened higher. All three major U.S. indexes were up 1% or more in early trading. (more)

Awesome News – GDP Growth at -0.3% in First Quarter, Despite Massive Import Purchase Increase of 41.

    Awesome News – GDP Growth at -0.3% in First Quarter, Despite Massive Import Purchase Increase of 41.3% to Avoid Tariffs

    April 30, 2025 | Sundance | 63 Comments

    The absolute key to the first quarter GDP result is to remember that ‘imports‘ are a deduction in the economic equation of Gross Domestic Product.  The GDP is the valuation of all goods and services produced in the USA *minus* the value of imports.

    The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) releases the results of the first quarter GDP.  The overall economic growth seems low at –0.3% until you look at how U.S. companies responded in February and March to the tariff announcement.

    Companies proactively purchased massive amounts of products in advance of the tariffs leading to an overall increase in imports of 41.3%.  Which results in a 5.3% deduction to GDP.  Every dollar of those imports is a deduction to the GDP equation, giving the false appearance of lower domestic production.

    There was a massive surge in import goods purchases of 50.9% versus the prior period [Table 1, line 20].  That’s the largest periodic increase in import purchases I have ever seen.  Simultaneously, fixed asset investment in equipment for domestic production surged 22.5% [Table 1, line 11].

    Put both of these metrics together and what you see are U.S. companies building consumer inventory from overseas (imports) while simultaneously preparing themselves to shift production into the USA.  The massive import purchases are a bridge to cover the time needed to shift the manufacturing from overseas to the USA.  This is exactly what we want to see.

    To give more detail to the economic shift, we turn to Table 2 and look at the contribution impact to the GDP equation.

    Here we can see that imports surged and led to a 5.03% deduction to the GDP equation.  Meaning if all things were equal without the Q1 surge in import purchases the GDP would have been +5.0%.

    Meanwhile the impact of federal spending decreased 0.33% as President Trump makes the federal government smaller, and federal spending contribution less.  The federal government is getting smaller as a percentage of GDP.  Again, a very positive sign.

    Investment in the USA is high.  MAGA working.

    Imports are temporarily high, as companies prepare to purchase less from overseas.  MAGA working.

    Following the increase in U.S. investment and following the increase in equipment purchasing; we will see an increase in jobs as a result of hiring Americans to use the equipment and create the products.  If the workforce tightens up (illegal alien deportation continues) and unemployment lessens, then pressure is created on wage rates as companies compete for workers.  Main Street starts winning again.

    Attach welfare support to employment efforts and the dependency model shrinks.

    This is very good news all around.

BINGO – Longshoreman Union Announce Opposition to President Trump's Tariff Program

    BINGO – Longshoreman Union Announce Opposition to President Trump’s Tariff Program

    April 29, 2025 | Sundance | 92 Comments

    Last week CTH noted, “interested political followers in the USA should pay close attention to how the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWA) respond to the corporate media narrative. …  Will the International Longshoremen’s Association stand with Trump, or will they drop support as the global trade reset emphasizes domestically manufactured jobs?  That will be an interesting aspect to watch because the dockworker union leadership will face massive pressure to comply with the anti-tariff narrative.”  (full article)

    Yesterday, we got the answer: “The International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) unequivocally condemns the recent tariffs that the Trump administration has imposed.”

    [SOURCE]

    All these moves are so transparently political, it almost makes you laugh.  However, that said, we are now in a better position to understand exactly how the Democrats and Deep State operatives will weaponize the supply chain along with their union orcs.

    In the next phase of the anti-Trump tariff agenda, approximately 3 months from now it will begin, we will see/hear a constant drumbeat of empty shelves, missing parts and missing products.  Whether factually true, or whether the shortages are an outcome of a strategy by the ILWA to assist the shortage narrative, the overall objective will be to blame President Trump for everything from shortages of medicine to shortages of parts to fix, repair or maintain consumer products.

    The process looming on the horizon is as predictable as Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg moving the stalled container cargo ships beyond the horizon so that no one was able to take pictures of the mess they created in the ports.  Factually, the last thing the global shipping conglomerates want is for nations to be self-sufficient.

    Global supply chains are dependent on extreme ‘globalism’ and, well, ultimately, there are trillions at stake. Imagine the collapsed business models if nations were self-sufficient.  Heck, even a small drop in U.S. import purchases has the ripple effect of the shipping companies losing billions in revenue.

    Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy would be well advised to assemble a proactive ‘supply chain’ group right now to game out an offset strategy to what we can predictably see coming.

The Awakening – Look Carefully at This Picture

    The Awakening – Look Carefully at This Picture

    April 26, 2025 | Sundance | 284 Comments

    From the outset of the Ukraine -vs- Russia conflict I have been saying this is “world war Reddit”. CTH awakens today to this photo, blasting across the geopolitical landscape.

    I want you to look carefully at this picture; think about it and elevate yourself to understand exactly what this picture represents in the biggest framework of our ongoing discussion. The image origin: “Photographs released by the Ukrainian presidency showed the two leaders huddled in close discussion without aides in the ornate surroundings of St. Peter’s Basilica.”

    This scene is purposefully staged.

    This scene is staged by the control agents who control the Ukraine conflict, the intelligence community.

    President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump attended the funeral of Pope Francis to pay their respects on the international stage.

    Let me be clear. The people around President Trump do not and did not align with this photo-op, it’s genuinely in poor taste and bad form given the nature of the background event, the funeral for Pope Francis.  However, fearless President Trump knows exactly what this represents just as businessman Donald Trump knows how the seating is arranged in high stakes business negotiations; the sun at the back of the person wanting to be in the power position.

    Again, we should stay elevated and see the bigger picture here because it is incredibly important.

    When it comes from CNN, it’s coming from the PR firm of the State Dept., and who controls the State Dept, the CIA.

    CNN: How the pope’s funeral format allowed for Trump-Zelensky talk

    The meeting occurred just outside the Baptistry Chapel, which is inside St. Peter’s Basilica near its entrance, and the talk hadn’t been telegraphed in advance.

    Ahead of the president’s brief visit to Rome, officials had downplayed the prospect he would meet with Zelensky or any other world leaders, pointing to the truncated time frame for the trip and its solemn purpose of memorializing the late pope.

    Trump had originally selected Saudi Arabia for his first stop abroad of his new term and will visit there next month. But when Francis died those plans changed, and instead Trump made his first foreign stop in Europe, a continent he’s railed against frequently.

    The seating chart and crush of fellow leaders made brief interactions possible, including with leaders Trump had seemingly been avoiding since taking office. He engaged briefly with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, with whom he hadn’t spoken at all since returning to office amid trade and defense disputes with the European Union. [SOURCE]

    President Trump, a man of respectful honor, indeed would expect to engage in polite and quiet conversation with Zelenskyy, Macron, Starmer et al, at the funeral.  Yes, he would quietly have a conversation in a private room with the principals to quickly discuss political affairs.  That’s his style. That’s the way he operates, retaining focus and respect toward the purpose of the gathering, holding quick conversation in private and retaining emphasis on the purpose.

    THIS IS NOT THAT.

    This is a stage set for the optics of a geopolitical conflict that involves Ukraine and Russia, and this stage is set up by the same controlling agents who have been in control of the events since the outset.  This stage is why CTH instinctively knew the conflict was World War Reddit.

    What are we seeing?

    The intelligence communities’ control western government.  The government does not control the intelligence communities.  This reality is the core of the great awakening that reconciles every facet of the conflict present and visible.

    When things do not make sense; when things are unnatural and fraught with irreconcilable datapoints stemming from traditional perspectives that no longer align with what is visible; that’s because the intelligence apparatus is in control of it.  Every example you can cite returns to this basic truth.

    All of the western government systems, the “new democracy” as it is called, stem from a radically different construct.  The intelligence services control the government; the government does not control the intelligence services.

    The conflict in Ukraine exists because western intelligence services are controlling it.  The reality is this “war” is not the Russian government -vs- the governments of various western nations in support of Ukraine.  The true conflict is the western intelligence community vs the Russian government.

    Vladimir Putin does not hate Americans.  The Russian President hates the CIA.

    When envoy Steve Witkoff is representing President Trump in his discussions with Vladimir Putin, Witkoff and Trump represent the government.  However, the government is not the real control agent and Putin together with Trump/Witkoff know this.

    Vladimir Putin and Donald J Trump are mutually aligned entities in a fight against western intelligence services.  That’s the core understanding that must be at the forefront of any review or intellectually honest analysis of what is taking place.

    The vulnerability within the position of the Western Intel Services, is that they must hide this reality.  The IC must retain the illusion that government is in control of geopolitical events, because if that control mask is dropped everything changes.  And I do mean EVERYTHING.

    Everything that was irreconcilable suddenly starts to make sense when you accept that government is not in control, the government does not have the power.  The intelligence services control government and the intel agencies are currently the source of geopolitical power.  The politicians are the illusion of representative democracy that must be retained.

    That’s what this image should represent to everyone!

    ….”Once you see the strings on the marionettes you can never return to that moment in the performance when you did not see them.”….

    ♦ If the United States President pulls all USA support away from Ukraine and instructs all elements of the USA government to withdraw support for the conflict, and yet the conflict continueswith ongoing CIA operations, then what does that say about who really is in control?

    Can you see the stakes at play for the CIA?

    ♦ When Marco Rubio says, repeatedly now, that “this is not our war” and “we didn’t start this war,” having previously asserted, “It’s been very clear from the beginning that President Trump views this as a protracted, stalemated conflict,” Rubio said. “And frankly, it’s a proxy war between nuclear powers, the United States helping Ukraine, and Russia,” is the former Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee being honest now, or is Secretary of State Rubio attempting to clean up the inconvenient truth he said originally?

    Can you see the stakes for the CIA?

    I digress…

    There are corporations and financial systems that intersect with the politicians; and those politicians are controlled by the Intelligence Community.

    That is the very essential baseline for The Great Awakening!!

    [ps. If you really wanted to join me in the rabbit hole; and knowing how important this moment is to the control agents; meaning how much they needed to get back control after Trump threatened to walk away from the conflict; then please accept I am 50/50 on how Pope Francis died. Was it really a natural death or was it the result of the IC needing a geopolitical event -like a funeral- to bring all of the principal actors together.]
