The newly formed House Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government has to narrow the focus and make a decision on which of the myriad of examples will best highlight the weaponization issue for the American people.
The U.S. government weaponization of the FBI is clear from the influence operations in elections, to the hiding of the Hunter Biden laptop, to the targeting of parents at school board meetings, to the entirety of what is evident in the Twitter files, domestic social media operations and even the FBI activity in the J6 events.
The FBI issues are widespread and clearly visible. However, only those who have followed the weaponization of the FBI realize the scale. To the larger U.S. electorate, the FBI targeting remains unknown because the mainstream media has buried it. Should the FBI weaponization be the primary target of sunlight?
This sets up the context for a monologue and interview by Fox News host Jason Chaffetz and members of the House Committee. Two segments, first with Michael Shellenberger, then the segment with Harriet Hageman, Mike Johnson and Dan Bishop. {Direct Rumble Link} WATCH:
The next segment is with House representatives and committee members Harriet Hageman, Mike Johnson and Dan Bishop {Direct Rumble Link}
.
The committee republicans are: Darrell ISSA (CA), Thomas Massie (KY), Chris Stewart (UT), Elise Stefanik (NY), Mike Johnson (LA), Chip Roy (TX), Kelly Armstrong (ND), Greg Steube (FL), Dan Bishop (NC), Kat Cammack (FL) and Harriet Hageman (WY). Overall, a pretty solid group with good legal outlooks.
Dan Bishop and Mike Johnson are both strong judicial and courtroom litigators. Chris Stewart a little less so, more formal, but on contracts etc, still good. Darryl Issa knows the narrow curves of the swamp from his former role as House Oversight Committee Chair, so that could be helpful. Thomas Massie, a contrarian constitutionalist, and Elise Stefanik a solid political strategist. Chip Roy, Kelly Armstrong and Greg Steube are good street fighters. Harriet Hageman and Kat Cammack, newer but should be supportive in their own right. This is a pretty solid team.
I think CTH has well outlined the challenges and best hopes we have for the assembly on federal weaponization.
Reminder – The defensive apparatus of the DC political system will likely do everything in their power, individually and with collective assistance, to ensure this committee fails. The stakes are quite high. As readers here can well attest, DC politics is an institutional system of purposefully created compartmentalized silos.
The compartmented information silos permit plausible deniability, and this collection of weaponized institutions contains career bureaucrats who view their opposition as the American people.
Example – The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), and every Republican member therein, including SSCI Vice-Chairman Marco Rubio, will make it their willfully blind priority to obstruct any investigation that touches on how the intelligence apparatus of the United States Government is weaponized against the people.
The SSCI is the institution that facilitated the creation of the National Security State. Any effort to investigate the outcome of that system will make the House investigators adversarial to their colleagues in the Senate.
Additionally, every executive branch intelligence institution, including the DOJ-NSD, FBI, DHS, ODNI, CIA, DoD, DIA, NSC and every sub-agency within their authorities, will do anything and everything to block a subcommittee looking into their domestic activity.
A lot of bad decisions have led to really bad things. DC does not want those bad things discussed.
Every national security justification that exists, and some that have yet to be created by the DOJ National Security Division solely for the expressed interest of blocking this subcommittee, will be deployed.
Every member of the subcommittee and their staff will be under constant surveillance. Phones will be tapped and tracked, electronic devices monitored, cars and offices bugged, physical surveillance deployed, and top tier officials at every subsidiary agency of the U.S. government will assign investigative groups and contract agents to monitor the activity of the subcommittee and provide weekly updates on their findings.
The White House, together with the National Security Council, will also backchannel to and from these agencies doing the surveillance.
The intelligence apparatus media will be deployed, and daily leaks from the various agencies to their contact lists in the New York Times, Politico, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC will be in constant two-way communication for narrative assembly and counterpropaganda efforts.
This is the context of opposition to begin thinking about before anything moves forward.
Additionally, the national security state will demand the House investigation take place on their terms. They will demand secrecy, national security classification and require House Subcommittee members to adhere to the Intelligence Community terms for review and discussion of anything.
Each agency will not voluntarily assist or participate in the investigation of any of their conduct. Every official within every agency will do the same; and they will require legal representation that will be provided to them by Lawfare, political operatives skilled in the use of “National Security” and “classified information”, as a justification for non-compliance and non-assistance. A protracted legal battle should be predicted.
Lastly, anticipate Special Counsel Jack Smith using his position to block the House Subcommittee from receiving evidence. The House should anticipate that congressional representatives are already under investigation as a result of the authorities granted to Jack Smith by Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco {Go Deep}. The White House and all of the executive branch agencies will use the existing Special Counsel to block House investigation. Heck, that looks to be the primary purpose of the appointment.
As a result, expect the House Subcommittee members to be under constant threat from the DOJ, via the Special Counsel, specifically from DAG Lisa Monaco, with statements that House Subcommittee investigative efforts are “obstructing” a special counsel investigation. The aforementioned agencies and the Senate Intel Committee will work with the DOJ to use the Jack Smith special counsel as a shield to block participation with the House Subcommittee.
With all of that in mind, what is the successful path forward?
♦ First, everything has to be done in sunlight and maximum transparency, even the planning and organization of the committee construct, purpose and goals.
The committee can have no shadow operations, unknown guiding hands or secrets that can be discovered and then weaponized against the intent. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
I know DC has little concept of working like this, but you can train yourself to do it. You have nothing to hide; however, those who are being investigated have everything to hide. Do not provide them ammunition by retaining secrets that can be weaponized against you.
As Andrew Breitbart said, be open with your secrets.
Your second cousin Alice will be a source for the New York Times to write about the Thanksgiving dinner three years ago when she heard the “N” word or a tasteless joke about something outrageous. Every member of the committee and staff need to prepare for a dossier completed by the FBI about them and distributed to the government allies in mainstream media.
Security clearances will be leveraged and threatened as a tool of the national security state to stop the secrecy envelope from being opened publicly. This will happen; so just anticipate it. When the security clearance of [insert_name_here] is threatened, go to the microphones and tell the public who is doing the threatening, and why.
♦GOALS – The goal needs to be crystal clear to anyone and everyone who would contemplate assisting. Yes, there needs to be a legislative intent in order to legally formulate the committee; that’s a no-brainer. However, the ultimate goal should NOT BE accountability on those who may have perpetrated or supported weaponized activity against American Citizens. The ultimate goal SHOULD BE for maximum public information, transparency and sunlight about the weaponization as it is discovered.
Let us assume the goal is accepted. Before moving forward, the subcommittee needs a professional communication strategy in place before the rules, terms and member outlines are structured or made public.
A thoughtful communication strategy so that information can come from the committee to the public without the filtration of a corrupt system that will bend and skew the findings as a weapon against the committee itself.
♦COMMUNICATION PORTAL – Hire a communication staff, and set up a website for the sharing of information directly from the committee to the public. The daily activity of the committee should be shared publicly in granular detail. The witness names as scheduled, documents requested, everything that involves the committee activity should be known to the general public. This system should be updated at least DAILY, or as information is compiled.
This communication network should also contain a separate staff assigned to solicit, accept and distribute information provided by the public to the subcommittee. Yes, you read that correctly, the subcommittee website should be able to accept information provided by the public as it relates to the ongoing committee work.
Crowdsource We The People as research leverage against the much more effective Lawfare operations you will face in opposition. This means a portal where the ‘open source’ information can be delivered by researchers, many of those on the spectrum, who hold deep knowledge of the information and system processes in the silos.
In the past several years, thousands of documents have been retrieved by FOIA and public records investigations. Hundreds of experts in the granular details of the DHS, FBI, DoD and DOJ-NSD systems have knowledge that can benefit the committee; you just need a way for them to transmit the evidence/information to you.
That ‘open source’ evidence should flow into the committee portal with address sourcing that allows the committee staff to review and locate it independently. This avoids the predictable counterargument, from the national security state, that Russia (or foreign actors) is feeding disinformation into the committee.
The documentary evidence will mostly be “open source,” extracted and then cross-referenced from within the multiple silo system the national security state uses as a shield. And the origination of the documents will be traceable and easy to duplicate, thereby providing secure provenance. The internal staff manager for this inbound portal is critical (think former HPSCI Nunes staff).
Documents found by the committee should then be uploaded to the same communication system (website), permitting the public -especially the autists- to review and then cross reference the committee material; ultimately channeling information back into the committee if important dots connect or puzzle pieces clarify. Think of this as a massive counter Lawfare operation with hundreds of Deep State subject matter experts assisting the committee.
Witness transcripts should be uploaded within 36 hours of testimony. Then let the public do the research, background review and dot connecting from the testimony. If you build it, they will come.
♦ Next, GO PUBLIC with everything. Do not use the terms and conditions of the secretive administrative state. Tell the public what you are finding as you are finding it. You can share information without violating “sources and methods.” Schedule a media appearance at the 8pm hour twice weekly with a high visibility broadcast media network to provide updates and answer questions.
These scheduled appearances should be in addition to random media press releases and press comments as pertinent information to the subcommittee arrives. What this means is that you do not wait to produce a 2,000-page final report before releasing the information. The final report should be an update and summary of all previous findings that have been released to the public along the way.
♦ At the outset, put no rules on media contacts with any subcommittee staff or member. Counter the darkness that fuels the intelligence community agenda with maximum sunlight and transparency. Use truth as a weapon against disinformation. That means no nondisclosure agreements at any part of the process.
Yes, this is radical change in approach, but this is also a radical enemy you are facing. Playing the secrecy game works in their favor, not yours. Transparency is your tool, not theirs – use it.
Use truth as a weapon.
Every member of the committee can say anything they want about any of the material or witness testimony they hear during the course of the investigation. Public hearing or closed-door sessions, it matters not. The same rule applies. Committee members are completely free to discuss any findings as the information is reviewed.
The goal should NOT BE accountability on those who may have perpetrated or supported weaponized activity against American Citizens. The goal SHOULD BE for maximum public information, transparency and sunlight about the weaponization as it is discovered. This approach makes We The People the accountability portion of the process. As a result, the next section is again rather groundbreaking….
♦ Every witness to the committee should be granted full legal immunity provided by the House and House Speaker for anything said during the testimony or admitted as being done as part of the evidence fact-finding. Again, the goal is transparency and openness, not prosecution and accountability. Use sunlight as a weapon to draw out the truth, then let the American people be the judges of what that truth means when contrasted against the constitution of our nation.
Let me repeat this… There should be ZERO legal liability for any conduct that happened as a part of any witness effort to weaponize the United States government against the American people. The immunity should cover everything *except* perjury from the witness to the committee itself (ex. Oliver North). If the witness lies, the immunity evaporates.
Why this approach? Because (a) it circumvents any issues that might impede testimony, removes hurdles; (b) immunity compels confession, honest sunlight and the urgency of the situation; (c) immunity makes the truth more likely; and finally, (d) you are not going to get legal convictions anyway. The truth has no agenda.
Another reason for the immunity is because the operation of the subcommittee should be heavily focused on witness testimony, not documents. The documents can come as part of the follow-up to the witness testimony, but it is the witness testimony needed; the publication of the transcripts then provides the public sunlight. This is key.
90% of the committee work should be focused on witnesses and questions therein. Only 10% of the committee work should be seeking documents. Avoiding the documents shortens the time needed for investigative disclosures and avoids protracted legal battles therein. If the people on the committee, those who are asking the questions, do not already know the details behind the questions and the locations of the supportive documents, then you have the wrong people on the committee.
Every response to a questioned witness should come with the following question: “How do you know this?” That is how you will discover the nature of the documents, communications, emails etc that support the fact-finding mission. “How do you know this” also leads to more witnesses. Work the issue from the bottom up. How do you know this; who told you this; why did you do this; what authority guided you; who authorized this approach? etc. etc. etc.
Use fully immunized witnesses to tell the story, then go look for the documents to corroborate the witness statements using the ‘under oath’ transcript as part of the impenetrable subpoena itself; but don’t wait, keep questioning witnesses.
♦DOCUMENTS – Once you identify the location of documents that would assist the sunlight objective, don’t only rely on the government side of the conversation as the targeted source for retrieval. If the document contains communication to external parties, ie public-private partnership, then move to gain the documents from the private side, thereby avoiding the roadblocks inside government.
Regardless of the status of the document search, and regardless of whether legal battles will be needed to retrieve those documents, keep moving forward with the witness testimony. Do not stop committee work just because internal silo opposition is being fought. Keep working the plan and bringing immunized witnesses, both inside government and outside government, forward for questioning. Leaders within organizations and agencies are important, but clerks, staff, and administrative aides in/around those same leaders could also provide important information.
This subcommittee approach, along with the people needed, will obviously take more time to assemble. However, once put together everything thereafter moves at a very rapid pace, which is also part of the strategy. Flood the information zone with maximum sunlight and keep the opposition off balance.
The goal is sunlight. Rip the Band-Aid off, call the baby ugly and start the process to fix this crap by exposing it. Restore the First and Fourth Amendments, and heal the injury.
From the Church Commission we got the secret FISA court and more tools for violations of our Fourth Amendment rights. From the 911 Commission we got The Patriot Act, DHS, TSA, DNI and many more violations of our rights and Fourth Amendment protections. We do not need any legislation as an outcome of the House “Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.”
We do not need your legislative help. All prior legislative help only ended up making things worse.
What we need is a full, uncensored, brutally honest expose’ of how bad things have become and how that system can be dismantled. The existing constitution is the protection, just remove the stuff that is violating it.
I know this approach is rather different from the norm. However, if this roadmap seems reasonable, I am certain you will find support from within the silo system that is currently operating, and from people outside the government who will volunteer time and effort to assist.
Summarized: (1) Know the scale of opposition. (2) Formulate a communication strategy around it and build a website. (3) Communicate findings by telling the story to the American people as it is discovered. (4) Grant immunity to all witnesses. (5) Don’t wait until the end to generate another useless report that few will read. (6) Make sunlight the motive of the committee. (7) Consider success when the American people can see the problem. (8) Dissolve any weaponized systems. (9) Don’t create new ones.
If you tell us the truth, We The People will fix it ourselves.
Where is House opposition to the insane WAR buildup ?
Freedom Caucus should delay all other work until it is halted !
Come on man!
We’re only up to about a 10% chance of having a Nuclear War.
20% at the most, so why worry?
If the ‘ conservatives ‘ do nothing and expect only Biden admin. to be blamed for war , they are in for a very rude awakening.
” Should the FBI weaponization be the primary target of sunlight?”
Yes. Followed by abolishing / defunding the FBI, otherwise the FBI will just say “sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me”, and will at least pretty much continue, maybe with just a brief pause, with its war on the US Constitution and the American Republic.
The FBI is not simply a naughty child to be scolded, but a mortal enemy to be exterminated.
America and the FBI – “In the end there can be only one”.
I don’t think there are any acronym agencies that should continue. I was worried in the past of foreign enemies outside and within and the need for someone to watch them; I was wrong. There IS NOT anyone watching that-they watch us. The borders are open-so anything could blow up.
The orgs must be finished and the people must defend themselves. The wild wild west all over again, but it is better than the brownshirt nazi fbi/cia/ nsa and so on.
At this point, is the FBI beyond arresting the members of the committee on invented charges?
No.
Are the members of the committee brave enough, or just committed enough to test or challenge the FBI?
American Democracy may pivot on that question.
Is the FBI beyond arresting the members of the committee on invented charges? Well, they almost arrested President Trump for a crime that never even happened!
Nieghborhood organizing to protect yourself and the others from the Federal Stazi. Make sure your county Sheriff knows what his powers encompass.
As I see it we have two very major issues…….. (Yes many, many more but these 2 plus election fraud IMO are the biggies)
1) The weaponization of many of our Government Agencies to work against their citizens and frankly the Constitution.
2) The take over of HealthCare to include our Health Agencies and thus use its power to possibly weaponize a virus and variants against the citizens of the world by forcing the ingestion of a so called vaccine that potentially is harming millions.
So of the two which would be easier to prove? And which one involved 5 Billion people vs just 240 million Americans?
I actually think now with the PV video evidence and all the sudden deaths that the second one could be easier to prove and because it involves over 5 billion people, it would be more impactful. Also I wonder if from digging deep into #2 that it doesn’t also lead us to governments also being involved from day one on #2.
Also IF #2 is proven then this could possibly become Crimes Against Humanity at The Hague which could carry death penalties. And imagine how big this net could be and thus it could produce a large number of whistleblowers.
Now you are getting two birds with one stone and if #2 proves to be true then IMO #1 will be very easy for the 240 million Americans to swallow and accept.
And if both #1 & #2 can been shown/proven then come 2024 they may need 200 million Presidential votes to beat MAGA once the majority of Americans unite against these evil doers.
I will have to admit that your suggestion merits a lot of insightful contemplation for review and consideration.
Your way might just be the way to approach this.
Everyone from any and all political ideologies; along with the rest of the world that was impacted and watching just might be enough to force it all out into the open for everyone to believe and become resolved to overturn these f*%#ing bastards.
Nice strategy to consider.
I humbly propose that Sundance take a sabbatical to offer himself to the House investigative efforts to gut the intel agencies that have run totally amok. Further, in his absence from these efforts at the Treehouse, I nominate Dutchman to fill in here. MAGA ins.
MAGA wins.
Have to think we could still walk and chew gum in Congress (the House). But you have a point and I think the second one will lead to the first. Possible we could meet somewhere in the middle and still hang the bastards.
We are not citizens of the agencies. They work for us but we all know that’s off the rails. #2 is going nowhere. Nice thoughts. I wish you luck staying bogey free. I’m not able to that.
If I remember correctly, there is a second subcommittee investigating the government’s response to Covid.
Correct and what will be so telling IMO is………
1) how fast they act and send out their first subpoenas and if they also subpoena communications.
2) how much if any did each of the members of this sub committee receive from Big Pharma?
The answers to these 2 questions will tell one if this is a non biased committee determined to get to the truth or another farce of a committee.
Those two issues are high priority but IMHO election fraud has to be right up alongside them or all else is for naught.
We are only getting lip service at the moment from Keven McCarthy and the corrupt RNC just re-elected RINO Ronna Romney McDaniel to continue to chair that Corruption Club. The only way back to solving any of the vast array of significant problems in government is for the people to truly be able to elect and send decent, honest, and uncorrupted politicians to DC.
Well said GB Bari! We have to find a way to eliminate election fraud. I believe that we can still get majorities in the house and senate, but I’m very worried about the presidency going forward.
All parts of the same conspiracy to destroy individual countries’ sovereinty and take over the world.
Call it the SPECTRE Prosecution.
TY, Bogey. Nailed it.
International conspiracy that murdered much of humanity with two bioweapons.
Attempted murder of much of humanity with future bioweapons, per Jordan Walker, Pfizer Corporation.
I think that would suffice.
Jordan won’t be long of this world.
I disagree. As mentioned elsewhere, Covid is being investigated by another committee, and should be given as much weight as investigating the “weaponization” of government.
As long as the FBI continues unchecked, they will continue to be the swamp watch dog and do whatever is required to block or attack in any direction to protect the swamp and everyone wallowing in it.
An unchecked FBI could easily target or block investigations, investigators or targets of any other investigation, or cooperation with an investigation.
That needs to come to a halt.
I believe Mike Johnson from Louisiana had the best response. The focus should be on the danger to freedom and democracy these agencies actions represent. It needs to be big picture, using specific actions committed by these agencies as examples. Show the American people the danger to our country if this is allowed to continue, and how they may be negatively affected personally. Then develop legislative proposals to fix it. They can’t spend too much time in the weeds on one or two things like Twitter or the Hunter Biden issue. Throw everything they can at the wall, and see what sticks.
Yes…’Sunlight Is the Best Disinfectant’.
“Every witness to the committee should be granted full legal immunity provided by the House and House Speaker for anything said during the testimony or admitted as being done as part of the evidence fact-finding. Again, the goal is transparency and openness, not prosecution and accountability.”
The problem is if there is no prosecution and not even any accountability, most Americans will not take FBI wrongdoing seriously as it will seem like something not even up to the seriousness / level of a misdemeanor.
I enjoy reading your comments but do you seriously think the AG is going to prosecute those he agrees with? That road is a dead end road. No point in even going down it as it leads to nowhere.
I know that “hope” is not a plan…BUT…I’m hoping that Sundance’s travels yesterday took him to DC as an invited consultant to the House Subcommittee to lead them to the SUCCESSFUL PATH FORWARD described in this post to save this country, even if that means the disclosure of the identity of Sundance.
Another consideration on choosing a target: Is there a target or instance that will trigger the ire of blue staters?
We’ve been played off against each other Right vs. Left for too long, when significant numbers of both sides rightfully fear powerful global corporations and an arrogant, unfettered intel community with a domestic enforcement arm.
I don’t know if there are any Democratic reps left in Congress who love liberty, but there are sure enough plenty in their home districts! We’ll need raw numbers to inspire courage and push back against the money, technology, and public-private sector hegemony we are facing today.
A very good plan. I hope they follow your suggestions. With the public disclosure, monitor the media to see how much filtering and editing they do. Disclose that also.
Their job is huge. Sundance is correct. Half the population is not informed. I think most have a feeling that something at the FBI stinks.
we are fortunate that it is only half that is not informed, however, I suspect 65-75% are not.
since our communist/Marxist masters took control of our media, those that watch it don’t
hear/read anything that the controlled media don’t want us to know.
I think the percentage is higher because when I attempt to inform some of my liberal or
even non political friends with critical information, they always get a deer in the headlights
look, like they have no idea what I am talking about. Its not that they disagree, they have
no clue what is going on.
To me – this is the challenge.
You’re probably correct
Many in the population are familiar with various crimes that have been committed where the FBI had prior knowledge of the perp.
The Boston bombing, multiple shootings, other terrorist shootings/attacks, the FBI inaction on female Olympians being sexually abused, etc.
The committee needs to make public and comment on the contrast between their lack of action in those cases. and what they actually have been spending their time doing like assigning 80 FBI employees to target Americans on Twitter.
Since the Teflon-wrapped Clintons with their incredulous avoidance of even one felony charge against the infamous Clinton Foundation, against Bill, but mostly against bleach-bit, smashing hammer, hypocritical Hillary, and every other Leftest, Marxist, Communist, elitest, that many Conservatives everywhere have read the comings and goings of long, drawn out committee work, even legal challenges to taking down the Left. It is with much frustration that we the people remain flummoxed, duped, even betrayed that nothing, zero, nada, has made its way to a felony conviction of anyone within the District of Corruption Beltway, anyone, that is, of any influence or prominence. The only, and I mean only satisfaction exists if you happen to be both Conservative and Christian, in that you realize it is God alone who will pass judgement. And may He do so swiftly as soon as they come to pass. Damn them all!
Well said Gary !!
Space bars are nice.
I remember reading about a king-to-be who was operating semi-covertly behind enemy lines, gathering loyal followers.
He said you have to “bind the strong man” before you can free the people he has enslaved.
That kind of binding we can each do–daily–without a master plan, internet access, or traceable donations.

“As Andrew Breitbart said, be open with your secrets…..Every member of the committee and staff need to prepare for a dossier completed by the FBI about them and distributed to the government allies in mainstream media.”
That’s reality…..
“Crowdsource We The People as research leverage …. a portal where the ‘open source’ information can be delivered by researchers, many of those on the spectrum, who hold deep knowledge of the information and system processes in the silos.”
This is reality, too: Anyone who helps in the crowdsourcing will be treated (X 10) like George Zimmerman was. The weaponry deployed against the committee members and their staffs would certainly be deployed, with vengeful sunlight, against any individual involved in the crowdsource response.
.
Maybe the destruction of the silos–all the silos–will have a cleansing effect on what remains of our Republic. Individuals who see themselves as having nothing left to lose will make the difference.
It’s a shame Andrew Breitbart isn’t here to help direct the outflow of truth.
Same for El Rushbo!
Extreme federalization is required. There should be no federal agency that deals with individual citizens on a normal basis.
Repeal fed income tax and let the US Govt collect from the states by GDP. The states raise the money as they see fit. Obviously the IRS is largely disbanded.
Eliminate FBI / ATF etc — Replace with a collaborative state effort. The agents report to their own states. This agency investigates all alleged corruption of the federal government — all three branches. This is the fourth branch necessary.
Senators return to being appointed by state legislatures.
The biggest threat is going to be the opposition research released by the DOJ/FBI/NSA/and on and on and on….
That will take the most for members to overcome.
Can the FBI sharing a workstation at the Perkins Coie DNC law firm be folded into this disinfection?
Maybe find someone a bit “moderate”……if there are any. Not the obvious choice(s) for our side, Trump et al. Doing the Trump angle, though would be great, would have alot of, “sure, of course that’s who you first focus on”. That could be for later. I really can’t think of any who are like held up as beacons for both sides.
One would hope that the committee would be speaking with Sundance or reading the very useful advice provided.
Along the line of approaches … There is a major weakness in the siloed information structure of the US Deep State, described by Sundance, which can be exploited by the committee without a single subpoena and asking for a single classified document. It would take a couple of eager staffers.
Siloed systems, as those described by Sundance, do have integration and control nodes, where the siloes intersect for the purposes of: integrating information into real and contrived stories, act as a security point and act as a control point. The problem is reaction reaction time to an issue and that a motivated “outside integration agent” (i.e. the House Subcommittee) could get into a silo and exit before the Deep State Control eve knew it happened and reacts.
Take for example, the following situation:
It will emerge soon that Hunter Biden and his key cronies actually did have Security Clearance. Somebody had to issue the clearances, who was it?? There are unclassified records of the fact.
There is Hunter’s Laptop, JoeBama’s garage troves and more. All it takes is one document control number and the entire UNCLASSIFIED disposition history of an item is laid out … with names and dates associated with the history.
Surely a congressional aid has experience making queries into State Department DoJ, DoD, and Treasury Department looking for background information their Congress Member boss needs. ALL it takes is sit down and start entering search terms.
Then there is the method of issuing subpoenas to low level members of a silo and then watch the chain of actors to see which DEEP State Integration points react to stop the subpoena. This help flesh out the spider web and ID targets for sunlight.
Not everything has to happen in the hearing room.
A couple of motivated, creative staffers with a computer could dig up allot of unclassified stuff from within the Deep State Silo’s to build road maps and pictures of the Deep State to: publish in reports, drop in the media, be used during hearings, read into the congressional record, etc. etc.
This is based on my days as a systems engineer and chief engineer, writing operational and functional requirements for systems. I used to scare the heck out of the Government Security and Program Folks with the UNCLASSIFIED materials I gathered in my office, when they came to visit .. and more than 1 Program and System Security Classification Guide was re-written in those days for projects supported to account for gathering of UNCLASSIFIED data in a single place. Point is … there are ways to build very comprehensive damaging bits of evidence by doing ones own digging.
This does not have to be eager staffers if they follow Sundance plan and release the daily hearing information to the general public on a daily basis. Most of us are great researchers that can take released testimony and trace it’s sources and background. The treehouse posters have been doing this on a daily basis for most Sundance posts.
it does not matter. they will do nothing about it. they will not seek to do anything about it. they will talk their fool heads off until it goes away. then they will do the exact same thing.
COWARDS one and all.
After years of Kabuki shows on CSPAN, by the Republicans, it would be easy to not disagree.
Yet, there is allot a “motivated” Committee can do to shine sunlight, that goes beyond the dog and pony hearings on CSPAN.
Another moment of truth is upon for the “new and improved” version of the Republicans in the House. Let’s see what they do.
Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals # 12:
Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it.
What in god’s name are they investigating? Everything and nothing.
John Brennan is a villain from Hollywood central casting. Small dogs whimper and cower at the sight of him.
You are investigating people, not job titles, not bureaucratic departments. People.
Subpoena the guy, not his email.
If they lack the stomach for this fight (probably) don’t look for the easy way out. The media will ravage them.
Create your own villains or, duh!, the villains will be you.
Bodybags + morgues would be filled before any such committee does anything real to reverse The Great Reset…
They crossed the Rubicon with 2020…
The people + orgs who own our institutions including Govs cannot afford to fail in moving the world down the path they have taken us down too far already…
This is on us + God or God Himself…
Why isn’t Pelosi riding off into the sunset of retirement? Why is Biden having to be pressured/threatened to step aside instead of going into retirement to enjoy the hundreds of millions of $$$ he’s stored away?
They know timing is now short. Huge triggers are slated to be pulled. They don’t want to run the risk of being scapegoated if the real people running things need convenient diversion for whatever reason. The politicians will feel more secure in office…
That’s just a couple of the points out there.
Most of us can now admit to ourselves that – Key Elections are — Fake.
That also means – Congress is — Fake.
It will not matter whether we are willing to internalize that…. If Elections are rigged, the Institutions that require the Elections are thus – for Show…. Period.
Most can admit we have a Uniparty System – which means DC is primarily Kabuki Theatre.
But, far less than a majority of the masses are ready to punch 1 + 1 + 1 into a calculator + accept the = that is a foregone conclusion nonetheless…..
We are marching into WW3…
Recurrent forced “Vaccinations”…
And much Economic Chaos along with other things.
Turning on C-Span + waiting for the big change for the better to come — will be a more comfortable way to go out for millions of people….
Have they helped murder masses of people around the world since Late-2019?
Do you feel deep inside you are capable of answering that question honestly to yourself?
In Late-2019 I was guessing but made fundamental life decisions based on the strength of evidence as I saw it – and hoped time would prove me a fool.
3 years in – that’s over.
———— If I pretend + delude myself otherwise – I give them further ownership of me…
I accept fully the vast majority of people will not + probably should not feel like that… but my childhood made me sensitive to feeling — manipulated.
I’m going to walk into the future with my head held high + doing my best to recognize the realities at hand…
Tucker Carlson spent much valuable time last night on reminding everyone about – Epstein.
Have you read The Finders FBI Vault?
https://vault.fbi.gov/the-finders
The 1993 “Investigation” was done to make sure enough of the 1987 Evidence was gone or buried.
In 2019, when they released The Vault, they still redacted the Medical Report that would prove the sexual abuse + memoryholed the 2 standard documents that would have proven the lone, brave Customs Agent Whistleblower had been telling the truth about the FBI + DOJ + CIA covering up a CIA-connected domestic spying + child trafficking sex + Satanist cult.
If they are willing to hide the worst crimes against many children even 40 years later — do you think they will allow anyone to effectively expose + counter their control of a Government that just helped unleash 2 bioweapons + murderous lockdowns + started a major war that is escalating into WW3…?
Do you really want to go thru the next years — pretending…?

What we are witnessing is not really new.
But, before Late-2019, they let most of us for the most part live our lives as we liked.
That is over.
I know a significant # of people come here to feel better about things or at least not feel horrible…
….I flipflop on gauging the value of that approach….
We could make a fundamental difference — the masses could….
We have zero hope of that if we crave to play the 3 monkeys….so we can be feel fine before being blindsided….

The world that made the things in this playlist happen was something that let us live in relative bliss as long as we stayed ignorant.
Not any more…

Those of us who believe, profoundly, in the the American Revolution, have a practical and moral imperative to shape our message to reach others.
The positive message of America will reach others forever.
The deeply evil message of leftism will remain forever seductive.
What belongs to the rich is somehow mine?
The State will provide for me because I need it? By my reckoning?
The Democrats were the second Party in American politics until they stumbled upon the welfare State, under FDR. The old America ceased to exist then. Quoting the text of the Constitution, like gun lovers do with the Second Amendment, became obsolete with the coming of the welfare State.
You see Sundance’s video from yesterday, of the judicial nominee ignorant of the Constitution, of the meaning of Article II and V. Leftists have moved on from the American Constitution.
Sorry, but we must fight the great battle on their terms.
True. The fundamental problem is – their plans do not include leaving us alone to any acceptable level…
It is in God’s hands. Their position is that strong, but God wants us to be involved… We don’t even see a real Revival in searching for God occurring…..
….Without that…..I doubt He is going to get involved unless this is the last years of our current Age where He has told us He will step in right at the moment Lucifer + Crew are enjoying their greatest success to date….
I hope we are not in that epoch. I hope we will witness a Revival of the recognition of a need for God + a worldwide searching for His Will….
Why post, Iggy, if not to reach others?
I am trying to reach others.
Effective things can still be done.
But increasing your success in reaching others by diminishing the view on the reality at hand becomes counter-productive depending on what that reality is.
Are we facing an Existential Threat that is Current – not a “What If”…?
Are they pressuring parents to shoot deadly shots into their arms?
Are we sending tanks to fight Russia after using our drones + other means to stall the Russian Military Advance?
Am I closer to a Climate Change Propagandist preaching Doom for effect…? Trying to frighten people…. or closer to someone talking about the reality of the moment…?
If I tried Ra-Ra Nothing can stop us…!!! would I be more effective…?
For 5 decades, I heard Patriots talk about the What ifs of how huge a mistake it would be if “they” took over + moved to dominate our lives….
….I have to laugh out loud at that now……….
It’s sad – but this is the world we live in.
Is it better to pretend otherwise…?
…If things were Hopeless, maybe so……
…..but we could fundamentally alter their plans for war if we acted collectively – but Pretending is BY FAR what the people want to do right now.
I refuse to play along.
If we have any hope, we need at least of few of me saying something…
In Rome, after a great triumph, when celebrating great achievements, the Leader cheered by the masses would have a slave stand behind him whispering in his ear that all victory is fleeting…
What does it say about us if we can’t handle someone warning us things are terrible when the lives of our children are being robbed from us……?
If we knew an Asteroid was coming toward Earth + had a 95% chance of causing an Extinction Level Collision with the planet —– I would not be posting here.
I would get zero use out of bemoaning our fate.
I would still be living my life the way I am right now. Still preparing the garden beds. Even if it were a 99% chance of hitting.
But there would be 0 need to talk about it.
— I give it more than a 50% (majority) chance that most of us are facing an Existential Threat to the existence of us + our families.
…God willing, time will make me look like a fool for thinking that….
But we can still do something about it if it is real.
But where are the signs that we are remotely moving in that direction…..?
…..Counting on Newly + Prior Elected members of Congress + the 3-letter Agencies to win the day for us…..? —- We do still admit to ourselves that the big elections are rigged, right? We don’t now believe the GOP simply didn’t do so well in the Mid-Terms, right? — If we still can admit that the 2020 + 2022 Elections were fixed – why do we believe Congress is going to fight for us now…..????????????????????????????
What % of you really think that stands a realistic chance given what we see out of the masses of humanity right now….???
Do you think the voting members of Congress are more worried about us than they are the powers that put the members of Congress in place…..???
Last note on this. I’ve said enough but enough needs to be said if we have any hope of coming out of this down the road.
“Bodybags + morgues”
I don’t mean with the bodies of Citizens.
I mean the bodies of the members of Congress + their staffs + the investigators + anyone else needed for them to be effective at going after the corruption for real.
It took me decades before I’d accept that Kennedy was most likely taken out by elements of the Government along with other outfits in the society…
….so I am not being sanctimonious when I talk about how the Average Person tends to like Denial…..
It was probably less than a decade ago or so that I came across Conspiracy of Silence + then later looked into The Finders + the Franklin Cover Up + then more contemporary examples like Epstein….
….NOBODY with a heart beat that is not a psycho or sociopath can look into that topic of crimes against children + come away thinking the same about how the world works unless they were already clued in……
People have heard of Seth Rich + I guess a majority are willing to accept what most likely happened there.
What % of people do you think have heard of Quarles Harris Jr…?
What % of the members of Congress do you think have…? I’d bet my right arm a far higher % of them have that name floating around in their brains somewhere.
Do you think – like Tucker Carlson – they still have the name Epstein somewhere closer to the active parts of their brains….?
Do you think they know what the outcome there was + what the outcome of the Anthony Weiner “Investigation” was…?
I just had to type Mr. Weiner’s 1st name because I realized a good # of people won’t automatically know who I mean if I just wrote “Weiner”….
—- Do you think the Members of Congress + the FBI + DOJ ———- know more + acknowledge more about —— death + destruction of lives —— of “Powerful People” in recent years than we do….?
If you were a career-advancing Politician or Staffer or member of the DOJ + FBI + other 3-letter agencies ———– which side would you determine —- butter’s your toast….? which side also pulls the triggers….?
Would you conclude —– Right tends to win the day + whistleblowing might be a rough path but stands a better than 50% of —- bringing the Criminals Down….?
—- Honestly — looking around at the world with as honest eyes as you can — if you were some level of player in DC or the halls of power ——– Do you believe it —- more likely —– you’d end up with a bullet in your brain or testifying in Court to take down a Major Bad Guy…..?
I would honestly like to see a poll on that….. just to see what the Average Person really, truly, deep down thinks about it…..
—- It took a lot of guts to stand up to the Powerful in decades past. Some did it + succeeded. Some were not ultimately successful but went on with their lives.
—- That was before the timeframe after Covid was released…….
The Average Person can still be part of making a fundamental difference.
But they have to collectively realize it + that requires a realistic assessment of the world beyond our own limited lives……
Must have whistleblowers.
Must Declassify and Release docs to public ASAP.
Must move quickly.
“Should the FBI weaponization be the primary target of sunlight?”
Yes, because all else will be discovered from investigating this. Corruption in the DOJ, corruption in congress and corrupt uses of intelligence agencies.
The FBI has acted as the Stasi for the protection of Democrats and all kinds of swamp flunkies for a long time, and all of it would be exposed by making this the primary target.
I am not sure there is one single person in DC that is capable of telling the truth, even the good ones put spin on everything. They give a few amazing sound bites so you believe them, and they go right back keeping their mouths shut, or being the problem.
Leavemygunsalone: I feel the same way. The conditions in DC make it impossible for the truth to be spoken. In DC, the truth is always revealed in what is not said. All that is required to discern the truth in Washington is to listen to the silence.
Another form of weaponization is done through the appointment of Special Counsels whose real purpose is to prevent the public, Congress and even the Judiciary from accessing the true facts. The current example is the transparent appointment of the Classified documents special counsels:
“Members of Congress have sought access to the materials—or at least a risk assessment detailing the information they contained—since the discovery of documents at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida last summer. But they say the administration has objected, arguing they can’t provide that access as two special counsels at the Justice Department (DOJ) are investigating Trump and Biden’s mishandlings of the documents.”
Garland knew he needed to appoint those counsels to cover up the crimes.

Likely just another GOP Kabuki dance.
It’s a big deep state!
Just DEFUND the friggin’ government. Do not raise the debt ceiling . Do not pay or back pay the employees. They will quit and seek employment elsewhere. WE could care less about them. They could care less about U.S. The government is just a cash cow for them. They work limited hours for a pay scale way out of touch with the rest of the population, U.S. CUT OFF THE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The new committees need to focus on individuals and business’ OUTSIDE the government. They cannot refuse anything.
Sundance, the approach you outline is a good beta test for what will be needed when the lid comes off of the election theft that occurred in 2020, 2022, and all the other times we don’t yet know about. In fact, the FBI / Twitter link is the camels nose under this tent. This includes any foreign interference . In essence, it is a truth and reconciliation committee not a show trial (like J6 was). Patrick Byrne has talked about this in that the last thing we want is a Civil War, or a hot one at least. This is really the way we keep the country from burning down once all this shit comes out.
