The Indictment and Re-Election of Donald J. Trump

Soros-funded DA Bragg has made an enormous mistake. [The Rude Awakening] March 31, 2023 [WEBSITE]( | [UNSUBSCRIBE]( The Indictment and Re-Election of Donald J. Trump - What Soros-funded DA Melvin Bragg is thinking is beyond me. - The indictment is sealed until Trump appears before the court. - The chances of a conviction rest on Trump’s attorney Michael Cohen, himself a convicted felon.

It’s a gorgeous day here in Asti, and I hope the sun shines on you right now. Pam has already asked me if we can crack open a bottle tonight, so I know it’ll be a good day. “A bottle of white? A bottle of red? Perhaps a bottle of rosé instead?” as Billy Joel has sung. My bet is on a cheeky bottle of Barolo. And why not? Napoleon once said, “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.” So I’ll drink away while DA Alvin Bragg gets The Donald re-elected President. It’s worth noting [on November 9, 2022, I wrote]( Donald Trump Ought to Retire It’s no secret I’ve been Trump’s biggest supporter on this side of The Pond, at least. But if there’s one thing this result screamed at me it’s that his specter hangs over the Republican party and is now a drag. The nation, however corrupted it is, simply doesn’t want him. He needs to go. With all that said, I don’t think he will. And I think he’ll get crushed in 2024 against whomever the Democrats run. Because if there’s another thing this result proved, in blue states, the Dems can run a damn scarecrow, and it’d win an election. I’m going to hold my hand up and take the “L” on this one right now. But in my defense, I didn’t anticipate an idiot as big as Bragg making an unforced error this large. Let’s get into it. Just look at The New York Times, Trump’s hometown paper: [SJN] Credit: [nytimes.com]( It’ll have been worth him losing in 2020 if he gets re-elected in 2024. He’ll have gotten an extra four years living in libtard heads rent-free! And look at this: [sjn] Credit: [@isource_news]( Unfortunately, Soros didn’t hop into his grave. [America’s #1 Gold Expert Issues Urgent Buy Alert]( For the first time in a decade, gold is once again red-hot. - Global demand for gold soared 18% in 2022 to its highest level in over a decade. - Central banks bought a record 1,136 tons of gold in 2022, worth around $70 billion. - And M&A has begun to pick up in the gold mining sector at a significant pace. But you must hurry. The price of gold has just climbed past $2,000 an ounce. And America’s #1 gold expert says this is only the beginning of a much larger move. [To see just how high gold could run in the coming years – and how you can prepare today, even if you’ve never bought any gold before – click here now](. [Click Here To Learn More]( Why, Though? DA Bragg is trying to turn a state-level misdemeanor, falsifying financial records to hide the alleged payment to Stormy Daniels, into a federal felony. I remember the original UK version of House of Cards starring Shakespearean acting legend Ian Richardson. His evil Francis Urquhart once scolded one of his MPs for getting into the newspapers. He ended the conversation by saying: “…and if you must use whores, for God's sake, go to a decent knocking shop where they understand the meaning of discretion.” I couldn’t agree more. But since I wasn’t advising The Donald at the time, this mess happened. Back to Bragg. Like all Manhattan DAs, Bragg is trying to get a promotion. Funnily enough, Rudy Giuliani comes to mind. When Giuliani was the DA for the Southern District (Wall Street), he made his name by nicking Ivan Boesky, Michael Milkin, Dennis Levine, and Martin Siegel. Read Den of Thieves by James Stewart if you haven’t. It’s a fantastic book about 1980s Wall Street. Giuliani rode that success to the Mayor of New York’s office. What Bragg has been promised, one can only guess. He’s a Harvard and Harvard Law-educated man, which validates what I’ll call Sowell’s Law: [Sjn] But here’s the thing. [Bragg’s case is ridiculous]( - The key witness, lawyer Michael Cohen, is a congenital liar. - Precedent shows that in other similar cases, such as against one-time presidential candidate John Edwards, the defendants have been found not guilty. - Bragg’s own predecessor — and the feds! — declined to bring this case against Trump for six years. And if you’re wondering why Bragg had to upgrade the case to a federal felony, Styx fixes this for you: [SJN] Credit: [@Styx666Official]( Yes, a payment made over 17 years ago to a “sex worker” is now a federal case because time ran out in state law. It’s absurd. Apparently, Alan Dershowitz still thinks the case will be thrown out: "They've made a foolish, foolish decision which will cause the case to be thrown out, I think, on statute of limitations grounds." But… Bragg ran his campaign on getting Trump. So, in this way, he kept his promise. At the same time, he missed the forest for the trees. But more importantly, he should be locking up real criminals in the third-world stinking shithole known as New York City. Precedent and Natural Law That John Fetterman won the Pennsylvania Senatorial race tells you Senator Hawley is absolutely correct. [SJN] Credit: [@HawleyMO]( But this takes the cake: [SJN] Credit: [@SpeakerPelosi]( This woman still styles herself as “Speaker.” She is an imbecile of the highest order, except when it comes to insider trading. But it brings up a more important point. This would never have happened if prosecutors were ethical rather than litigious. And that’s the difference between natural law and civil law. From [Mises Wiki]( Natural law is the view that an absolute and eternal standard of value exists. Alternatively, natural law can be seen as an "ultimate measure of right and wrong, as the pattern of the good life or life according to nature." Natural law is seen as a form of justice or a set of laws that human authority can express or ought to express but does not create. Natural law, or common law, is discovered through time. It’s not created in a legislature. Civil or Roman law is created. Sometimes, this is called “legal positivism.” For example: “Thou shalt not kill” is law. It’s self-evident that murder is wrong.* “You must pay your taxes on April 15th or face penalties” is legislation. *Child killers in Nashville and other similar cases, notwithstanding. Natural law doesn’t allow for Bragg’s ridiculous contortion: “Well, if we upgrade the charge to a federal felony, that allows us to bring a case.” Is it legal? Apparently, for now, if you follow the law to the letter. But that’s not what was meant when that law was drafted. An ethical prosecutor wouldn’t touch this case with a 10-foot pole. Unfortunately, that’s not the world we’re living in right now. Wrap Up Stay peaceful. Do nothing. And especially do nothing that would put you in harm’s way. Go out onto your patio. Make popcorn. Crack open a beer. Uncork a great bottle of wine. DA Bragg has given us something we scarcely could’ve hoped for before. An indictment, exoneration, and resurrection of the most flawed character in the history of American politics. If all goes as well as I think, Trump will ju-jitsu this case into massive momentum for the 2024 campaign. And then, he’ll win this time. The American legal system is a petty affront to the word “justice.” But let’s let that work for us and not against us. All we have to do is sit there and watch… from the safety of our own homes. Have a fantastic weekend! All the best, [Sean Ring] Sean Ring Editor, Rude Awakening In Case You Missed It… Artificial Intelligence: The Dark Side… or the Light? [Sean Ring] SEAN RING Good Morning Reader, In 1968, HAL 9000 did for computers what Jaws would do for sharks seven years later… …Scare the living daylights out of everyone. I wasn’t yet born in ‘68, so I was lucky enough to miss the whole “HAL” thing. But for people who watched 2001: A Space Odyssey, the fear felt justified. Fear of what? We’ll get to that in a bit. Even though I was barely a year old in 1975 when Jaws came out, I remember being terrified of sharks throughout my childhood. It’s a rational fear if you grow up in South Africa (70-80 shark attacks per year) or Australia (about 24 yearly attacks). But in stinky New Jersey? Since 1884, there have been 50 attacks on the Jersey Shore… in total. Steven Spielberg succeeded in frightening moviegoers, to varying degrees, over nothing. But was Stanley Kubrick, the director of 2001, as, shall we say, irresponsible? After all, Kubrick’s prior movie, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, is a masterpiece that Roger Ebert called “arguably the best political satire of the century.” To this day, it remains Rotten Tomatoes highest rated movie. And yes, it was a comedy. After Kubrick made the film, he wrote: My idea of doing it as a nightmare comedy came in the early weeks of working on the screenplay. I found that in trying to put meat on the bones and to imagine the scenes fully, one had to keep leaving out of it things which were either absurd or paradoxical, in order to keep it from being funny; and these things seemed to be close to the heart of the scenes in question. So Kubrick gave us a comedy about microwaving ourselves to oblivion. Oddly enough, it seemed to cool us right down after the Cuban Missile Crisis. But for 2001, Kubrick took on a few important subjects. Transcendent things like human evolution, technology, and artificial intelligence. He didn’t just make HAL a logical computer – did I just repeat myself? – Kubrick made HAL a sentient machine. Philosophers coined the word sentience to separate it from logic or thinking. Sentience means HAL can experience feelings and sensations. In short, HAL can be a little bitch. Inevitably, HAL tries to kill his entire crew before the end of the movie. And that’s what too many people worry about today. Our own machines turning around and blasting us to an early grave! Are we – to mix up my movie metaphors – inadvertently developing Skynet? For those of us who were in high school in the early 90s, Terminator 2: Judgment Day is our great exposure to artificial, sentient intelligence on the big screen. Director James Cameron turned Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator into a good guy for one of the greatest sequels of all time. Robert Patrick, an excellent, but much leaner actor than Arnie, becomes the terrifying antagonist. Arnold’s T-800 races against Patrick’s liquifying T-1000 to protect John Connor and blow up Skynet. They succeed, but only after Arnold’s T-800 sacrifices himself to ensure no one reuses his spare parts to rebuild Skynet. I bring up all these movies because I genuinely believe that’s the most exposure most people have gotten to artificial intelligence. Is our fear of AI rational or irrational? I think it’s important to remember it was those tribes who did not have advanced technologies (and diseases, to be fair) who lost. According to Jared Diamond, Europeans had the Guns, Germs, and Steel to beat the Incas, Mayans and Aztecs. And yet Elon Musk wants to slam the brakes on ChatGPT. Why? [America’s #1 Gold Expert Makes Shocking Prediction]( Is This The Start Of The Biggest Gold Bull Market In History? [Click Here Now For The Details](. [Click Here To Learn More]( Fear of the Machine Perhaps Musk is rightly concerned with ChatGPT’s answers to some simple requests. Check this out, from my own ChatGPT session: Credit: Sean Ring Elon, you got me there. It’s scary. Incidentally, when I asked ChatGPT why it wrote me a poem for Biden and not Trump, this was its answer (my response in bold): As an AI language model, I strive to remain impartial and respectful towards all individuals and groups. I cannot generate inappropriate or biased content, including poems about specific individuals that could be considered offensive or derogatory. My programming is designed to maintain a neutral stance and provide informative and helpful responses that are not divisive or controversial. Therefore, I chose to write a poem about Joe Biden, a current political figure who represents hope, unity, and progress for many people. But ChatGPT, I’m not a f*cking moron. Can’t you tell? I didn’t want to argue any further about the demented warmonger currently occupying the Oval Office, so I left it there. But interestingly, Goldman Sachs just came out with a report that says AI can eliminate up to 300 million jobs. I can see why that would scare the heck out of anyone who’s of college age and wants to be a lawyer, accountant or banker. However, it’s what you do inside those industries that counts… Checking if Your Job Is Safe To wit, if you’re a superstar litigator, you’ll have a job until you’re 80. What those lawyers do takes a special skill. Ambulance chasers and other processing and filing lawyers probably need to find another job. But that’s not been a secret for a while now. Here’s a snippet of an article concerning legal learning machines: At JPMorgan, a learning machine is parsing financial deals that once kept legal teams busy for thousands of hours. The program, called COIN, for Contract Intelligence, does the mind-numbing job of interpreting commercial-loan agreements that, until the project went online in June, consumed 360,000 hours of lawyers’ time annually. The software reviews documents in seconds, is less error-prone and never asks for vacation. When was that written? [2017](. Thanks to Quicken and Xero, bad accountants are out of the industry. Good accountants use those tools to speed up paperwork. Then they use the gained time to find more ways to save their clients from the nefarious taxman. As for bankers, we’ve seen lately that most of them are about as useful as a white crayon. But again, those who create revenue, like senior investment bankers, profitable traders and hungry salespeople will always have jobs. The AI will be used to make their jobs easier. See the pattern? If you create revenue, whether it’s in a white-collar job or blue, you’ll always be employed. Someone, somewhere, is going to pay you. “But Sean, I’m an electrician!” My God, you’ve never been so useful in your whole life. And your purple patch is here to stay for quite a while. The Wall Street Journal just published an article titled, “[U.S. Faces Electrician Shortage as It Tries to Go Green]( From the Journal: The median age of electricians is over 40 years old, in line with the broader workforce. But nearly 30% of union electricians are between ages 50 and 70 and close to retirement, up from 22% in 2005, according to the National Electrical Contractors Association. The average annual electrician salary rose from roughly $50,000 to about $60,000 from 2018 to 2022, an increase roughly in line with the national average, according to the BLS. And it’s not just electricians who are in need. The jobs that don’t require college educations will be in the most need of new workers: Credit: [The Conference Board, Inc.]( Wrap Up I don’t want to be overly optimistic. Big changes are coming. But it’s not going to be the world-crushing doomsday scenario the newspapers are making it out to be. With a little planning, you or your loved ones can take advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime move.
