Declarations of Truth
Politics • Culture • News
Declarations of truth is about speaking truth to peers applying pressure, and elites telling people what to think. We cover ideologically corrupt elected officials, judges misusing theirequity powers (or assuming equity powers they don't have), broken institutions no one dares even call broken, and bad medicine that has the color, even the force, of law. We also talk about our broken culture and how to fix that, including the One Person Who can fix it.

Extinctionism – older than you think

Elon Musk occasionally likes to highlight a particular person or issue that concerns him, by posting about it on X. With one hundred fifty-nine million followers, he can make that person or issue “go viral” with a single post. Today he left two posts, on a subject that has concerned him for well over a year: extinctionism. Indeed he went so far as to say that extinctionism is the real ideological threat to humanity.

Extinctionism – what is it, and who actively propounds it?

Extinctionism means seeking the extinction of the human race. Even that concept, as extreme as it sounds, encompasses a broad spectrum of ways to achieve that end. Elon Musk highlighted one of them in his two posts:

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1710394306572251409

Les U. Knight founded the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement, abbreviated VHEMT (pronounced Vehement, “because that’s what we are,” says Knight.) Its method is simple: let all human beings abstain from reproduction. Thus the human race would die off by simple attrition. If everyone adopted that ...

Kamala Harris campaign dying

The Kamala Harris campaign is gasping for breath, as a critical-care patient does shortly before dying. Even one of Donald J. Trump’s most vicious detractors among evangelical or “born-again Christians” will no longer deny the signs. At the same time, two other Christian apologists have discovered that tens of millions of self-identifying Christians do not even plan to vote, and are asking them to reconsider.
Kamala Harris campaign and its dying breaths
Recall that your editor has a medical degree. He earned that in part through core clinical clerkships that exposed him to patients breathing their last as he watched. Heart- and lung-disease specialists, and critical-care specialists (at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, the Anesthesiology Department also manages all Intensive Care Units), speak of agonal respirations. These are the hesitating breaths a patient takes until at last the patient expels all air from his lungs.
So what are the agonal respirations of the Kamala Harris campaign? Erick-Woods Erickson listed them. He’s not talking about the ...

Roberts CJ in a judicial silent organization?

Two days ago, a free-lance investigative journalist on X released a long thread disclosing and explaining a shocking allegation. Apparently John Roberts, Chief Justice of the United States, belongs to a judicial silent organization. But this is no ordinary silent organization. It consists entirely of judges (including one other Justice of the Supreme Court) and top-flight liberal or “equitarian” lawyers. This association creates an ideological conflict of interest for the Chief Justice. As such it casts doubt on the Court’s ability to function as the final arbiters of constitutional law.

The American Inns of Court

The American Inns of Court (AIC) take their name from the four London-based Inns of Court that date back to the Middle Ages. Every English or Welsh barrister, or trial advocate, must belong to one of these Inns:

  • Gray’s Inn,

  • Lincoln’s Inn,

  • The Inner Temple, and

  • The Middle Temple.

In addition, Northern Ireland has its own Inn of Court based in Belfast. (Apparently Scotland has no Inns of Court.) So the Inns of Court have a status equivalent to that of the American Bar Association.

The American Inns of Court are far different. They are completely voluntary, and membership is by invitation only. One of them – the Edward Bennett Williams (EBW) American Inn of Court – has recently requested that the general American Inns of Court organization strike its membership and other records from the general server farm. But that does not mean that the EBW Inn no longer meets! It does – and that their information is not even available at the general AIC site, makes them a silent organization. A silent organization is an invitation-only club that presumes to set policy for other institutions or agencies its members serve. Part of being a silent organization is to keep its membership list under very close guard.

Edward Bennett Williams, the namesake, was a founding partner of Williams and Connolly, a high-profile, elite – and Democratic – law firm.

On Thursday (March 20), X journalist Bad Kitty Unleashed released information linking Chief Justice Roberts to the EBW AIC.

John Roberts linked to EBW

This top post of the fifteen-post thread is in long form and serves as a good summary:

🔥🔥🔥Breaking exposé! FIVE anti Trump judges are involved in a secretive, INVITE ONLY club for judges and lawyers called the American Inns of Court. Even the membership and meetings are secret. But somehow the DOJ has shown up at meetings. At least since Biden had been in office.
Is hobnobbing with the DOJ in court matters acceptable? Let alone meeting in secret?
So who all is linked to this selective and secretive club? And recall all of their negative Trump rulings?
- Judge James Boasberg (President)
- Scotus Ketanji Brown Jackson (Vice President)
- Judge Amit Mehta (Secretary and a meeting held at her court.)
- Judge Beryl Howell
Justice (Professionalism Award)
-Justice John Roberts (Honorary Bencher of the Middle Temple)
Wasn’t it something else that Judge John Roberts broke ethical conduct and stuck up for his, “brother Boasberg”?
George Soros has funded a fellowship at Middle Temple where John Roberts is a master of the bench.
First let me very quickly explain how this secret society called, the American Inns of Court came about. In the UK, they have the four Inns of Court that dates back hundreds of years. One of those is called Middle Temple (see Roberts photo). Well, the US created the American version of this in recent decades. There’s a massive list of branches.
The branch many of our judges belong to is The Edward Bennett Williams (EBW) Inn of Court. It’s so secretive, they deleted most signs of this branch from their website although they still met.
Now here’s Judge Beryl Howell. She was nominated by President Judge Boasberg, and VP Ketanji Brown Jackson approved of her nomination. Boasberg claims it was her work on Jan 6 that contributed to his choosing her for the American Inns Of Court Professionalism award.
Let me show you the scant meeting info that I found which included the DOJ and Inspector General Horowitz in attendance.
1. The Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court: BOP Custody / Current Status of BOP / Early Release & Reentry: Washington DC, 2/15/24
“Joel Sickler – invited panelist at EBW Inn of Court (February15, 2024, Washington DC). The meeting held in the District of Columbia Court of Judge Amit Mehta. In addition to panelists, approximately 150 lawyers including several Federal District Judges were also present. The panel was presented primarily with Michael Horowitz, DOJ Inspector General and Seth Eichenholtz, Deputy Assistant Attorney General – also featuring Vanessa Rojas, a returning citizen with direct and learned perspective regarding constructive reforms within the Bureau of Prisons.”
Also there was:
“Seth Rosenthal, Chief Deputy Attorney General for Office of AG District of Columbia.”
2. Mathew Bester, 3 years ago in a quote Linkdn post:
“I really enjoyed talking about the latest DOJ developments last week on a great panel.”
Matthew was reposting Brent Gurney’s Post and yes the DOJ was there:
“I want to thank my co-hosts, Erin K. of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Lisa Phelan of Morrison & Foerster LLP, Inn member G. Zachary Terwilliger of Vinson & Elkins and our guest panelists Jim Fredricks of the DOJ Antitrust Division, Tiffany Rider of Axinn, Veltrop & Harkrider LLP and Matthew Bester of Accenture, for a robust and fascinating discussion of the issues.”
3. Yearly gala, I’ll review this later. But the Assistant United States Attorney at U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia replied in a comment. Was he there?
“Great job, Rebecca!”
I’ve seen lawsuits online for this secret org over recusal worries with this private club. I also saw a lawsuit that stated their secrecy is dangerous to democracy.

Bad Kitty Unleashed (BKU) shows that the EBW Inn of Court has a very sensitive membership. Organs like The Gateway Pundit make much of the affiliation of John Roberts with this organization. But BKU exposes more than that. Biden DOJ prosecutors, including ranking officers and key United States Attorneys and some of their assistants, were members.

BKU’s insights from her investigations, in order of mention, follow:

No trace of the EBW Inn of Court Inn ID 30072) remains on the American Inns of Court website. What links she has, come from the Wayback Machine or the new Archive Today service. Both feature the Officers listing for the EBW Inn of Court.

Membership in the EBW Inn of Court is by invitation only – and the invitations went out to current and former Federal prosecutors.

In 2017 one Linda Shao requested multiple recusals of Supreme Court Justices who had memberships in other American Inns of Court chapters. That list included all eight Justices then serving, except one: Justice Neil Gorsuch. That petition went to the Wayback Machine. (The Court denied review and rehearing in that case.)

Judge Beryl Howell received her invitation into the EBW Inn of Court in 2023. Judge James “Turn Those Planes Around” Boasberg, then President of the EBW Inn, issued that invitation.

Specific information on Chief Justice Roberts

Chief Justice Roberts holds the rank of Master of the Bench, the highest in American Inns of Court. He got that after London’s Middle Temple Inn of Court also conferred that title on him. The Middle Temple also has a shady affiliation with the Open Society Foundation – a George Soros organization. In fact the Middle Temple paid an “amity visit” to the U.S. Institute of Peace, known for radical leftist politics. This last archive also lists Justice Neil Gorsuch as a “Master of the Bench.”

BKU found information on three meetings of the EBW Inn. The first, dated February 15, 2024, took place in the courtroom of Judge Amit Mehta. It was a panel of the Justice Advocacy Group, that included prominent DOJ attorneys – and Michael Horowitz, the DOJ IG. (See also this second archive of a LinkedIn post with further details of that meeting.)

The second apparently took place in 2022 or late 2021, according to this archive of a LinkedIn post. The third and last meeting on BKU’s list took place in 2024, probably in May. This LinkedIn post probably tells little that one can’t already find out.

Summary

The American Inns of Court organization tracks 350 chapters, including the EBW Inn of Court. BKU concerns herself primarily with the EBW Inn, which at least includes Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Both have been members of the EBW Inn for some time – and Jackson serves as its Vice-President! Judges James Boasberg, Amit Mehta, and Beryl Howell, all of the D.C. District Court, are all members. This alone compromises the impartiality of the Supreme Court as it hears any appeal from these three judges. More troubling still are the memberships of key Biden Administration Justice Department attorneys – and the current “holdover” Inspector General.

If President Donald J. Trump wanted to “clean house” at Justice, he had a perfectly good reason. But perhaps he needs to fire IG Horowitz, in addition to all the other Inspectors General he fired.

CNAV shares the position of BKU that:

the Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court should be disbanded. And all DC justices barred from such activities.

CNAV also believes the House Judiciary Committee should investigate this matter immediately. Already Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) has filed Articles of Impeachment against Judge Boasberg. Partly in response to that, Chief Justice Roberts publicly rebuked President Trump and his allies. Their membership in the EBW Inn of Court presents an obvious conflict of interest. More to the point, the Judiciary Committee must investigate – comprehensively – whether the national judiciary is compromised, and to what extent. Perhaps a much larger round of judicial – and Justicial – impeachments is in order.

The JFK Files and what they tell us

Sixty-one years and three months ago, give or take a few days, an assassin killed President John F. Kennedy. Many policies of government changed abruptly with the immediate accession of his successor, Lyndon Baines Johnson. But more to the point, the conspiratorial theory of history gained currency then, as it never had before, not even after Mr. Robert Welch honored the memory of Capt. John Birch USA by founding the Society that bears his name. Now, about 80,000 pages of documents relating to the JFK assassination are available for public viewing. What they reveal, would likely have shocked even Mr. Welch – not because he would never have suspected it, but because he would never have expected the United States government to admit it.

The lightning speed of the 2025 JFK Files release

President Trump teased the release of the JFK Files on Monday (March 17).

🚨 President Trump announces that the JFK Files will be released tomorrow: “People have been waiting for decades for this.”

https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1901732366617362915

This, of course, is pursuant to Executive Order 14176, ordering the review and plans for release of all files pertaining to the assassinations of President Kennedy, his brother Robert (then Senator from New York), and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

A President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection has existed since 2017, with the first public release. Actually Congress passed the law creating this Collection in 1992. But until 2017, nothing was available for public viewing. The Collection saw four Releases before this year: 2017-2018, 2021, 2022, and 2023. The current Release 2025 is by far the largest.

Yesterday the Justice Department laid on a rushed review of tens of thousands of pages of documents. The exact reason for this review was never made clear. As The Gateway Pundit noted, many persons identified or otherwise involved in investigating the JFK assassination, are long since dead.

That review was supposed to continue until noon today. But within minutes of TGP’s article about the review, came word that the release was suddenly happening. Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, released a statement as a photograph in an X post:

President Donald J. Trump promised maximum transparency and a commitment to rebuild the trust of the American people in the Intelligence Community (IC) and federal agencies. Part of that promise was to fully release previously-classified records related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
President Trump’s Executive Order 14176 stated, “the continued redaction and withholding of information from records pertaining to the assassination of JFK is not consistent with the public interest and the release of these records is long overdue.” The President announced that these records should be released without redactions on Tuesday, March 18.
Upon receiving the President’s decision, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard immediately sent out a directive across the IC conveying his directive to provide all unredacted records within the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) for immediate release.
Starting today, the records will be available to access either online at archives.gov/jfk, or in person, via hard copy or on analog media formats, accessible to the American people at National Archives at College Park, MD. Records that are currently only available for in-person viewing are being digitized and will be uploaded to the archives.gov/jfk repository in the coming days. DNI Gabbard will post updates on X (@DNIGabbard) and Truth Social (@DNITulsiGabbard) as the files are released. The files will also be available on the White House’s website.
This release consists of approximately 80,000 pages of previously-classified records that will be published with no redactions. Additional documents withheld under court seal or for grand jury secrecy, and records subject to section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code, must be unsealed before release. NARA is working with the Department of Justice to expedite the unsealing of these records. Grand juries from many years ago have already seen them, so most of this information is already out, but regardless of this, this information will be immediately released upon the direction of the Court.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

https://x.com/DNIGabbard/status/1902136765953032472

A second batch of documents came out this morning at about 8:30 a.m. EDT. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) confirmed that National Archives personnel are “scanning and uploading” these files “in real time.” She also called attention to a particular file of interest:

The file I am particularly interested is a CIA IG report from whistleblowers alleging that the CIA hid information from Congress ref JFK assassination as it implicated them (shortly after the assassination). We were given this as a tip and there is actually a document we are currently tracking down.

https://x.com/realannapaulina/status/1902150430723076331

What those files tell us

Platform X has been buzzing about these files since they first became available for download. The Gateway Pundit released this list of findings by “Internet sleuths” late last night.

These files tell us that the JFK assassination was likely a joint operation between the most secret elements of the CIA and the Soviet KGB. The KGB connection is through Department V, originally Department 13. Ian Fleming, in an afterward to his novel From Russia With Love, said this department originally had a more dire name. He called it SMERSH – an acronym for Smyert Shpionam – Death to Spies. Unfortunately for history, Fleming provided no documentation for his claims. Nor has any surfaced from examination of his notes after his death.

But everyone acknowledges what KGB Department 13/V specialized in: wet operations, or what the CIA calls black operations. These are operations so sensitive that no one dares admit to them – including political assassinations.

Lee Harvey Oswald, the suspect-in-chief in the JFK assassination, had a KGB handler named Valeriy Vladimorovich Kostikov. This officer may or may not have belonged to Department V.

https://x.com/kylenabecker/status/1902149088407114083

The CIA connection

The best CIA connection is through the history of one John Garrett “Gary” Underhill, Jr. He had been an intelligence agent during World War II and was a small-arms expert. A memo dated 19 July 1967 listed him as “one of the [CIA]’s ‘un-people’ who perform special assignments.” That would be consistent with black ops. This memo further states that Underhill, on the day following the JFK assassination,

left Washington in a hurry. Late in the evening he showed up at the home of friends in New Jersey. He was very agitated. A small clique within the CIA was responsible for the assassination, he confided, and he was afraid for his life and probably would have to leave the country. Less than six months later Underhill was found shot to death in his Washington apartment. The coroner ruled it suicide.

https://x.com/RyanAFournier/status/1902148597967098178

Mr. Underhill’s name has borne repeated mention, including by users asking Rep. Luna to investigate his involvement – and death.

Within days of the arrest of Oswald, one Jacob Leon Rubinstein, who went under the nom de guerre Jack Ruby, shot Oswald in the driveway of Dallas Police headquarters. Ruby said he did it because Oswald was a “rat,” and he, Ruby, “want[ed] the world to know that Jews have guts.”

https://x.com/JFGariepy/status/1902129913890795590

Shortly afterward, J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the FBI, called for a public “report” to “stop conspiracy theories from spreading.” Hoover had a motive, still not specified, for having the American public believe Oswald acted alone. That last is nearly impossible to believe. For one thing, Oswald was a poor shot, and too temperamental for the KGB to consider him reliable.

https://x.com/RyanAFournier/status/1902147465182056579

For another, the Carcano M91/38 bolt-action rifle that police found at the scene, has a reputation as a “junker.”

Did the son of JFK die when he offended the wrong Senator?

This last might or might not be relevant. In 1999, JFK’s son, John Jr., wrote an angry letter to then-Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.), calling him a traitor. Shortly thereafter, he, his wife, and his sister-in-law perished when their small plane ditched in the Atlantic off Martha’s Vineyard.

https://x.com/akafaceUS/status/1902165696001282166

Analysis

For decades after the JFK assassination, authorities insisted that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. But doubts always remained, particularly about that “junker” police found on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. And also about grassy knolls and JFK’s head jerking backward when the third of three shots rang out. Likewise, few people believed that Jack Ruby was some kind of patriotic vigilante, no matter what he said. Shortly after his conviction, and before he could get a new trial, he died in custody, of terminal, metastatic cancer. How convenient.

The new files released thus far shed little additional light on Ruby’s motives. But they do suggest a new, and simple, theory. The CIA arranged for Kennedy’s death, with or without the cooperation of Department V of the KGB.

Apparently President Trump told Judge Andrew P. Napolitano that the evidence he (Trump) had reviewed, convinced him to withhold release of the files. Perhaps his four-year political exile, combined with attempts to railroad him into prison – then to kill him – changed his mind. He has no brief for the CIA – quite opposite, in fact. As to the KGB, Trump might soft-pedal that connection, not wishing to ruin his rapprochement with President Vladimir V. Putin of the Russian Federation. He needn’t worry. Anyone with sense knows the difference between the Russian Federation and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics!

Americans also know that Donald Trump is at total war with the Deep State. This release is his most telling blow yet.

Autopen pardons invalid?

The Autopen Conundrum has reached a new level since last week’s initial discovery. At issue was that President Joe Biden authorized use of an autopen to sign official documents. Or, as seems more likely, a White House official took it upon himself to use that device for that purpose. President Donald Trump, as the week ended, teased the prospect of invalidating some of Biden’s official acts. Now he has made his decision plain: he will investigate those who received last-minute pardons from Biden. He will proceed as if they never got a pardon – for as far as he’s concerned, a document bearing an autopen signature without Joe Biden so much as uttering a specific command for such signature, is not worth the paper it’s printed on.

Review of the Autopen Conundrum

CNAV broke the story of the Autopen Conundrum last week.

To review: an autopen is a mechanical device that literally moves a pen over a page to apply a signature. The Autopen Company, a subsidiary of Damilic, invented the device (as Xerox invented photocopiers and Bristol-Myers invented aspirin).

Celebrities use autopens all the time, to “sign” souvenir flyers, brochures, and other “autographed” documents. (It’s bad form to advertise a document bearing a “personal signature” and send an autopen signed document instead. But as long as that “document” is a mere souvenir, not a contract, deed, or other legal document, that’s legal.)

President Trump’s White House has strict guidelines over the use of an autopen. Never does Trump or anyone else sign anything official with it. That starts with Acts of Congress and continues to executive orders, presidential memoranda – and reprieves and pardons.

Our practice around autopen usage is far more restrictive than most previous administrations. We do not use the autopen for documents that exercise the powers of the Presidency. So, for example, we do not use the autopen for executive orders, presidential memoranda, decision memoranda, nominations, appointment orders or commissions, or bills to be signed. We do not use the autopen even for more routine purposes, such as the invitation of foreign leaders to the White House. The President personally signs all of these, in the presence of witnesses. We will occasionally use the autopen when a single document requires multiple presidential signatures, or when multiple copies of a single document require signing, but only after the President has personally signed off and only at his direction.

William Scharf, Staff Secretary to President Trump

Mr. Scharf is the one people see presenting Executive Orders to Trump to sign, before witnesses.

Biden, on the other hand, offered no meaningful guidelines. The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project developed clear evidence of autopen usage, in the form of signatures looking exactly alike. Thus far the only provably “authentic” Biden signature was on his letter dropping out of the Presidential race last year. The worst part was Biden’s apparent use of the device to sign six pardons – on the same day he was vacationing elsewhere, in front of witnesses.

Further evidence

On Friday noon (March 14), the New York Post published its summary of the written policy governing autopen use in the Trump White House. But in that same article, they described a report by a confidential source, saying one aide took upon himself the decision on use of the autopen. The Post refused to disclose this aide’s name, out of an abundance of legal caution. (Other Biden White House alumni flatly deny that any of their colleagues did any such thing.)

I feared no one as much as I feared that [aide]. To me, [he] basically was the president. No one ever questioned [him]. Period.

Nor did anyone else, because the “internal culture” in the Biden White House discouraged questioning.

Later Friday afternoon, President Trump, at a press conference, responded to the autopen scandal.

He described his own take on autopen ethics, and contrasted that with Biden’s use:

Crooked Joe Biden got us into a real mess with Russia and everything else he did, frankly. But he didn’t know about it, and he, generally speaking, signed it with autopen, so how would he know? That autopen is a big deal. I don’t know, you know? Who’s doing this?
When my people come up, Will [Scharf] and all of the people, Steve [Miller], they come up… Sir, this is an executive order, they explain it to me, and 90% of the time, I sign it. 99% of the time, I say, do it. But, they come up, and I sign it.
But, you don’t use autopen. Number one, it’s disrespectful to the office. Number two, maybe it’s not even valid because, you know, who’s getting him to sign? He had no idea what the hell he was doing. If he did, all of these bad things wouldn’t be happening.

That last paragraph recalls people challenging Biden on pardons and other documents – only to hear Biden disavow any knowledge of them.

As always, should you or any member of your [Impossible Missions] Force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

Routine disclaimer accompanying “mission orders” as heard on the television series Mission: Impossible.

The next day, The Gateway Pundit shared another post by the Oversight Project. Apparently – and contrary to CNAV’s initial impression – someone did have Biden create one additional machine signature. These signatures, now designated Autopens A and B, came to light in an analysis of the January 19 last-minute pardons.

🚨 Autopen Update 🚨
We analyzed Biden's Jan. 19, 2025 "pardons" for:
-Biden Family Members
-Anthony Fauci
-General Milley
-J6 Committee
-Gerald Lundergan
They all have the same exact Biden autopen signature.

Gerald “Jerry” Lundergan is a former member of the Kentucky State House of Representatives. A federal court convicted him in 2019 of making illegal campaign contributions to his daughter, who ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate. Biden pardoned him along with the others named.

🚨SECOND AUTOPEN DISCOVERED🚨
We have found that there was a second frequently used autopen signature for President Biden on pardons and commutations.

https://x.com/OversightPR/status/1900293836628238419

The Biden White House issued 51 clemency warrants in 4 years. 4,245 people received clemency during the Biden Administration.
This includes 37 of the most brutal murderers on federal death row, a person who murdered two FBI agents, people who provided military support to Iran, Dr. Fauci, General Milley, the J6 Committee, members of the Biden family, and hundreds of drug dealers. Every warrant in this group was signed with an autopen.
Here are the stats on the 51 warrants:
16 were signed with Autopen A
16 were signed with Autopen B
19 appear wet signed.
Note the subtle differences between Autopen A and B. Autopen A has a bigger space between the "p" and "h" in "Joseph" than Autopen B. There are also subtle differences in the "B" in "Biden" and how the word "Jr." is written.
Blown up images of Autopen A and Autopen B are in the next tweet.

Last night President Trump announced his decision, on Truth Social:

The “Pardons” that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime. Therefore, those on the Unselect Committee, who destroyed and deleted ALL evidence obtained during their two year Witch Hunt of me, and many other innocent people, should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level. The fact is, they were probably responsible for the Documents that were signed on their behalf without the knowledge or consent of the Worst President in the History of our Country, Crooked Joe Biden!

Reaction and analysis

Media reaction was, as anyone might predict, mixed. MSNBC were apoplectic, saying President Trump is exceeding his authority – and totally excusing the autopen for official documents. ABC News posted a “stub” article about Trump’s Truth, calling the story “developing.” Fox News clarified that Trump earlier said, in an Air Force One interview, that a court would have to decide.

President Donald Trump once again displays the boldness that has become the trademark of his second administration. Trump is creating controversy after controversy, knowing that the courts decide cases and controversies, but cannot set government policy. He also knows that, if no one asks, people assume that a thing is constitutional (or unconstitutional). In fact, the opposite might be the case.

Trump wants to prosecute most of those people very badly, and one can understand why. Jerry Lundergan might “skate,” but not Dr. Fauci, Gen. Milley, or especially January 6 Committee members, staff, and some witnesses.

But this controversy will necessarily settle another: what kind of personal attention is required to authenticate an official signature? As the Heritage Foundation has said: who controls an autopen, controls the related office. If MSNBC’s fanciful standard of “modern technology” holds, no one can ever again be sure of a contract signature without personally attending the signing. Contracting parties might insist that all signings take place in face-to-face or video-streamed meetings.

A signature – especially a Presidential signature – should mean something. Trump is taking a vital action to ensure that it does.
