I have spent a great deal of time thinking about declassification since the media began their insufferable onslaught and “president-elect Biden” narrative.
The time has long past for President Trump to strongly demand his executive cabinet members declassify the evidence outlining intrusive government surveillance upon not only himself, but all Americans.
CTH has a rather unique perspective on the declassification angle. This conversation has traveled with me for over two years as I have talked to people inside and outside the DC machinery. Ultimately the discussion ends around something like this:
Is the DC political surveillance state, and all of the ramifications within that reality, so fundamentally corrupt and against our nation’s interests, that no entity dare expose the scope and depth of it? And ultimately… is it the preservation of institutions, despite their transparent corruption, that’s causing so many disconnected outcomes from evidence intentionally downplayed?
If we assume the scale of unconstitutional conduct has become systemic, that likely answers the questions. Personally, I believe this is the most likely scenario.
“Likely” meaning the entire apparatus, DOJ, FBI, Legislative Oversight and the Intelligence Community (IC), is now so enmeshed within this corrupt out-of-control state that no-one, even the good guys, is willing to expose it because the institutional collapse would be devastating.
This is what I would call the Biggest of the Big Ugly.
This catastrophic outcome, in combination with DC having made the system the primary source of their income, is what unites the Republicans and Democrats to stop anyone from exposing it. Once any elected official goes inside this system, they end up serving it.
All of that said, I have previously outlined a pre-election process for President Trump to declassify information that would lay the system naked to We The People. However, I don’t think post-election this will work, because the executive branch cabinet officers will refuse to support it. The enemies inside the gate will protect DC.
But there is one aspect to declassification that can be valuable in the today and the tomorrow: a full list of known documents and material We The People want to see.
Items might include: •the custody log for Huma Abedin’s laptop (where is it?); •the fully unredacted Lisa Page and Peter Strzok text messages; •emails between Lisa Page and Andrew McCabe; •the crowdstrike report given to the FBI after forensic analysis of the DNC servers; •investigative evidence behind the Seth Rich murder in Washington DC; •the full list of phone users within the Mueller investigation that had mysterious phone-wiping issues… or anything you might consider of value given the known material over the past four years.
What do you want to see declassified?
Here was the approach that might have worked before the election; however, I doubt this approach could work now…. but you never know.
[OCTOBER 2020] Understanding the ordinary process of declassifying documents is a request and authorization to the executive officers and stakeholders of classified information; and understanding the current authorization is is not ordinary because the intelligence community stakeholders are adverse to the interests of the office of the president; here is a process to cut through the chaff and countermeasures.
The background here is that any unilateral declassification request, demand or authorization by President Trump puts him opposition to a variety of corrupt interests.
As a direct result the executive office of the president will be facing legal action, likely from unified democrats and republicans in the legislative branch. With that accepted, here is the most strategic approach.
In anticipation of litigation:
President Trump informs the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, that he wishes to have a full intelligence briefing on the following documents (more may be added), all documents are to be presented without a single redaction:
- All versions of the Carter Page FISA applications (DOJ) (FBI) (ODNI).
- All of the Bruce Ohr 302’s filled out by the FBI. (FBI) (ODNI)
- All of Bruce Ohr’s emails (FBI) (DOJ) (CIA) (ODNI)
- All relevant documents pertaining to the supportive material within the FISA application. (FBI) (DOJ-NSD ) (DoS) (CIA) (DNI) (NSA) (ODNI);
- All supportive documents and material provided by Bruce Ohr to the FBI. (FBI)
- All intelligence documents that were presented to the Gang of Eight in 2016 that pertain to the FISA application used against U.S. person Carter Page; including all intelligence documents that may not have been presented to the FISA Court. (CIA) (FBI) (DOJ) (ODNI) (DoS) (NSA)
- All unredacted text messages and email content between Lisa Page and Peter Strzok on all devices. (FBI) (DOJ) (DOJ-NSD) (ODNI)
- The originating CIA “EC” or two-page electronic communication from former FBI Agent Peter Strzok: and all communication between former CIA Director John Brennan and FBI Director James Comey that started Operation Crossfire Hurricane in July 2016. (CIA) (FBI) (ODNI)
- The full and unredacted April 2017 FISA court 99-page opinion written by Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer outlining the compliance audit conducted by the NSA in 2016. (NSA) (ODNI) (DOJ) (FBI) (DOJ-NSD)
- ADD TO THIS – Everything and Anything related to contracts, vendors, services and the intelligence apparatus connected to the 2020 United States election.
The President selects a date for this briefing and through direct orders to his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, informs the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, to advise and coordinate with all executive branch lead intelligence officials, who were/are stakeholders in the compartmented intelligence products as described above, of their request be present for the briefing.
The White House counsel’s office is not to be informed of the intent or purpose of the meeting; however the Presidents’ White House counsel is requested to attend. Further, all of the compartmented intelligence is to be collectively assembled by the ODNI (Ratcliffe) into one volume of a singular Presidential Daily Briefing (PDB). There are to be eighteen printed copies of the PDB assembled and secured for the briefing, post haste.
Additionally, the office of the president personally informs the ODNI (Ratcliffe) of the executives’ request to invite for the briefing each member of the legislative branch Intelligence Community oversight known as the Gang-of-Eight.
Immediately after the briefing by the executive level (cabinet) department officials, while remaining in a closed and classified session, the full and comprehensive content of this collective intelligence product will be discussed with the full assembly of the U.S. Legislative Branch Intelligence Oversight known as the Gang of Eight.
Therefore, National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien is instructed to coordinate with the ODNI (Ratcliffe) for the attendance of the Gang of Eight: Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Minority leader Kevin McCarthy, HPSCI Chairman Adam Schiff, HPSCI Ranking Member Devin Nunes, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, SSCI Chairman Richard Burr and SSCI Vice-Chair Mark Warner. [Topic “TBD”]
In order to facilitate the briefing. Each member of the participating group will be provided with one full printed copy of the material assembled by the ODNI during the briefing.
[Each of the participants carries the prerequisite clearances, legal and constitutional authority to engage with the classified document according to their position and status. Only the executive can assemble the product for Go8 review and feedback]
At the conclusion of the briefing; and after hearing from, and engagement with, each of the participating members of the executive intelligence offices and duly authorized legislative oversight representatives; and after listening to their opinion as to the subject material discussed; the president announces to the fully assembled leadership of both the Executive branch (cabinet) and Legislative branch (Go8), it is his opinion the National Interests of the United States can best be served with the American people having a full, transparent and honest review of the material assembled and discussed.
The President, no-one else, only the President, then collects the printed portfolios as they were distributed to the participants, exits the briefing, and walks directly into the James Brady press briefing room within the White House; handing each of the awaiting twelve members of the national media a copy of the briefing material to be published on behalf of the American people.
At exactly the same time as President Trump enters the briefing room, one copy of the assembled portfolio is hand delivered, by President Trump only, to White House communications director Alyssa Farah with instructions to scan and release the content to the public through the White House website.
Done.
The American people are aware…
The system will now turn immediately to destroy Donald J Trump….
…..while we show up en-masse to support him.
Nobody is listening.
Executive orders: nope
Criminal complaints: nope
Lawsuits: nope
Media: nope
Social media: nope
Votes: nope
7/4/1776 – 11/3/2020
No one need listen to be hung for treason.
*Hanged.
Sorry, pet peeve of mine. Hung is for coats and dresses.
Probably nothing can be declassified because Durham is now a “Special Counsel.” It was deliberately done to prevent declassification.
Good point. Durham can issue Rod Redactenstein like warnings.
PT can fire him.
EVERYTHING and ANYTHING. But then….what would that do without any consequences to these traitors? MSM would never report so….
Why don’t we just bring back the HMS Jersey?
That was an institution.
Simply declassify the connection between government agencies/ actors and foreign governments… oh wait that is exactly what Trump is doing right now. This is a military operation.
My third bit of confusion is about what is it that could possibly happen all that bad from the release of classified information, as far as to the government or the institutions. We survived the Civil War, and the bread lines and chaos of the Great Depression just fine. Our military remains intact.
I don’t think this is about protecting institutions. It’s about protecting individuals’ personal fiefdoms, secrets, financial ties, families, friends, associates, and comfort. The cumulative effect of thousands of individuals and networks and ties are not institutions per se, which will still have their physical plants and written protocols and policies intact. The people are fungible.
It’s about hiding truth. Truth that government doesn’t care about its citizens, rule of law, or justice. Truth that we are not a free people and that elected representatives despise their constituents. That they will feed from the government trough before you or I.
THEY STOLE THE ELECTION.
Our liberties sold to the highest bidder.
Our voice was nulled
Our work confiscated
Our worship violated
Now we have government of the government, by the government, and for the government.
I’m concerned that our country would be in such chaos that it would be an opportunity for attack from foreign enemies…China. How would we straighten out our Republic and maintain military strength against those who would definitely take advantage of us?
Is my thinking too simplistic?
I know what you said very well could happen. But it looks like, to me, that it is going to happen sooner or later anyway. I would rather get it over with ASAP. Regardless of what happens. I am very tired of hanging on to hope and never getting the gift you would like. If the president doesn’t call in the military, everyone of us are going to turn on him eventually. He could have done something. I would respect him for at least trying. He will be worthless if he doesn’t try.
Found in the bin…. 🙁
All of it
From every Executive Branch Agency, every scrap of data that any Executive Branch office contributed to, reviewed or has any reason to handle. So that should cover much if not all Congressional/Legislative Material. All Criminal proceedings already concluded..
Pause ALL federal Justice/Law Enforcement actions until after the Big Ugly. (refer to Mike Flynn, Roger Stone, William Jewell – 1996 Atlantic Park Bombing, etc.) Keep current Grand Jury and investigatory material secured until after the Big Ugly. Operations underway to preserve life continue only to extricate victims to a safe place (ie, Child/sex traffiicking rings)
All Payroll data from the US Treasury – who gets paid how much from what agency – CIA Payroll included.
Use a firehose full of high-pressure bleach water especially on the Department of State and Department of Justice.
All who were in the same room, vehicle, aircraft, or within 50 feet of President John F. Kennedy from the time he left the Oval Office enroute to Dallas until his casket was covered over by dirt at Arlington National Cemetary. Why, for how long, where, when and everyone within two comm links of those.
Maintain current classifications for only those ongoing military operations determined by President Trump to deter or counter imminent military attacks. Stand down all other military activity until after the Big Ugly. Warn potential enemies, this specifically exempts the Nuclear Triad; those operations will move to a High Readiness Posture (Airborne Bomber Alert, etc)
Cease or suspend ALL intel sharing, bidirectional or not, until after the Big Ugly.
No one on any government payroll, at any level, with any access to any classified data shall leave the country, or US Federal-controlled areas, until after the Big Ugly.
That about cover it?
I agree, ALL OF IT, but…..can we start with the JFK stuff a day or so before so people know when the CIA began controlling the country because they “know what’s best”
All-in-all I believe there should be some things “classified” but we need to scale back to but a few things. A free society shouldn’t have secrets as it allows people in power to exploit that knowledge to benefit their “power”.
I would love to know exactly what “Papa” Bush’s involvement was in that whole timeframe…
Maybe we could get a list of ALL of the “well-known” people in the business and entertainment industry that have been on the CIA payroll over the years?
Any and all information related to alternative energy sources and all the technology developed alongside.
Any and all information related to DUMBs.
Any and all information related to the various secret space programs.
Everything plus invoking of Insurrection Act ASAP, NOW!!!!! And for Pres. Trump to NEVER CONCEDE, MUST NEVER CONCEDE and CANNOT CONCEDE for he won in a landslide (the first requirement that heaven ask was for the American people to vote for the right person which we did). Second requirement: is for American people to bow and kneel down in prayer and fast everyday and reflect on their own lives and conversion to GOD and JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. (How many Americans right now are doing the second part? The answer is we don’t know and hopefully, there are tons of people doing it for GOD’s mercy to give America and the Americans to be given a second chance.)
The names of those in the media who are also on the IC payroll.
I’m just guessing here, but I suspect it’s not usually quite that direct. Favors for favors, “mutually beneficial arrangements”, revolving door employment, etc.
The truth is, is it will take physical action to stop this. I don’t know many prepared to give up their comforts and surround the White house as an armed human shield, but that is what it will take.
Release the Saudi papers.
Declass is moot. Not because it wouldn’t be it useful, not because we the people don’t deserve the information. It’s moot because the POTUS is powerless at this point, nobody is going to pay any attention to his orders and nobody is going to pay for refusing.
Disagree that it’s moot, though it may not win the day in the immediate term. Having multitudes of misdeeds provable — with hard evidence Watergate-style — can be paradigm shifting.
Well…I presume that he would have to have armed personnel that would be willing to use force in order for Lawful Orders to be executed. And if NO ONE in Govt. would comply with or force compliance with a Lawful Order from a sitting President…then…President Trump still needs to do this anyway so as to show to the American People exactly what their Government actually is!
The second chance of mercy from heaven to American and the American people is when the anointed one (President Donald J. Trump) be inaugurated on Jan 20, 2021 as the 46th U.S. president.
Very, very crucial and very important for the future of this country.
I miss the “Like” button under the main article.
It would seem that the President had gone along with AG Barr and other long-time Washington insiders to not release items, in the hopes the institutions could self-correct from within, and that might have been the case if Judge Emmett Sullivan had quickly agreed with the DOJ to drop the Flynn case.
Once that didn’t happen it must have become apparent to President Trump that the now self-aware deep state had/has no intention of allowing anyone to interfere with it as witnessed by the apparent installation of a senile old man and his merry puppet vp choice to fulfill the great one’s fundamental change of America.
100% positive that President Trump knows what he has to do before January 6 to convince enough Americans and their congressional representatives to stop this coup, or America will be at that inflection point you’ve mentioned before, where there will be no turning back because the choice will be out of our hands – sink or swim decision.
Personally, I would have enjoyed seeing a CIA head, like a Gina Haspel, actually love this nation enough to see leaks into the appropriate national media headlines of monetary and/or other bribery connections between the past administration members current congressional/judicial members on the take from any foreign, or domestic, enemy done in a timeframe that would have let us know there are elements within the administrative state that see what’s going on and are in their own ways part of a patriot’s ‘resistance’. That seems too much to have hoped for.
I want to see all of those things in the list plus all banking/income information for every member of congress and the judiciary – and their family members – for the past 10 years would be a nice start, showing the source of all that money that made employees of the federal government millionaires while they were supposedly serving their constituents.
p.s. Want to see exposed the medical records of members of congress and the judiciary who are on Alzheimer/dementia medicines. Those people have no business being in the workforce, dangerous even.
Every single document associated with OSS and it’s successor agency CIA. Every single document associated with any US agency recorded in the OSS/CIA docs. Reveal illegal activities, crimes, etc, and retroactively prosecute those responsible for authorizing the illegal activities.
All of the documents demanded over the past 3 years by Senator Grassley or Representative Nunes.
I want the entire contents of Stefan Halper’s phones that Barr and Durham supposedly fetched from British “intelligence” including every text, and recipients of calls made/received.
As Sydney says “let the chips fall where they may”. It cannot be any worse. Half the country does not recognize evidence anyway.
POTUS needs to summon a patriots only meeting with prior military to include those with LEO experience as well as any special forces types and formally deputize them as part of a US Marshall’s Counter Coup Task Force to begin the round up of all coup plotters and declare them as domestic enemies and send them all to Gitmo. Sydney Powell should be given Chief Military Magistrate status and only vetted and based patriots in military uniform should assist her in prosecuting all those involved in this treason. The President has the authority to carry this out. If he wants to save the country, people need to be rounded up and arrested. NOW!
If it is Bad as you say it is – why would you want to perpetuate it….
If gangrene has set in – you have to cut it of…
I’m old enough to remember Leslie Stahl snarking at our President, “the laptop isn’t verified because it isn’t verified.” Well, she lied. She knew. Declassification takes away the ability to lie and lie and lie.
The corrupt will only accept bitter defeat as we laugh in their face over the truth – Burn it all down Mr. President, we will survive no other way.
“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 KJV
I want to see that list of Chinese names, sorted in alphabetical order!!
Oklahoma City bombing needs to see the light of day.
All illegal immigration uses, especially those for political purposes like re-settled muslims for terrorism.
THE NAMES of the people Comey gave NSA access to via his special memo footnote 68 or 69 of the Collyer Report.
This is not just crwodstike etc- these are actual people.
just to clarify ..
these SPYS.
“interagency”
This question is like asking us to fill out our Santa Wish List!
Great idea, but sadly I don’t think anyone would comply with the order(s).
well…then immediate Arrest…Treason charges…and make people produce the Documents at Gunpoint if need be. It simply has to happen!
Let it rip!
Please declassify:
*Any intelligence about Mitch Mcconnell and his spouse, especially ties to foreign interests.
Everything possible. Burn it all down.
JFK assassination files. ALL of them.
Just as long as his aim is true, go for it!
I personally want to see everything involved in the phony Russia Investigation released. Every part of it, from the planning to the end of the Mueller report.
It all starts here.
Declassify Judge Collyer’s 99 page finding on long term use and abuse of the NSA data base. I don’t believe the MSM will be able to ignore what I believe to be shocking financial and political corruption. Much will flow from that.
Legal legitimate information that leads to the removal of Joe Biden.
JFK & 9/11-Saudi connection. Big blow to the Deep State and the intelligence community will lose all credibility with the public with these declassification.
FISA, Russia, Benghazi, Fast & Furious, etc are too in the weeds for the average person.
Everything related to JFK jrs.death. This man certainly would have been president someday and I’ve read he and Trump were friends.
I want to see the declassified deposition of Brian Dugan.
Twitter suspeneded 4thAmendmentRestored for this? not sure how long those thing are… been 3 days
Release? Declassify?
To what end?
No one will prosecute anyway.
LAWLESSNESS USA.
Small point in the greater scheme of things, but how about all information on how Colin Powell, then a US Army Major, tried to coverup the My Lai Massacre?
I hope he declassifies each and everything that could help him stop the steal and/or achieve any MAGA goals.
Just as importantly, however, I hope we are not subjected a whole bunch of tick-tocking and bluster.
Do it or just focus on something else. No more Hannitys or Joe DiGenovas, please and thank you.
To be sure, the “tick-tocking and bluster” are not PT’s style, rather the scam of the “news” media you cited. But maybe the pseudo-drama of the “personalities” serves a purpose—it’s an excellent distraction capturing the attention of “liberals” and the “media” while the President works his magic quietly.
Sure. Declassify it all, everything on the list.
The notion that declassification will cause “collapse of the system” is a feature not a flaw. And given that election fraud has become part of the “system”, it’s very clear that Trump wants to explode the corrupt system. Saying “blow it to bits” wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Deep State is deeper than anyone imagined. Drain the Swamp had a lovely ring to it but unfortunately the 2020 Election has exposed many of its worst elements.
Epoch Times election investigation.
https://www.theepochtimes.com/2020-election-investigation-who-is-stealing-america_3617562.html
I would like to see everything released to the public, full transparency; one major problem is that the MSM will ignore all of it, not report it, not comment on it, act as if President Trump has lost his mind, etc. I think that releasing something that is not related to PT in any way and that seems to have no relevance to the election would be covered by the media and would capture the interest of most Americans who have very little/no knowledge of or interest in anything that Sundance has described above.
I would start with releasing everything about the Kennedy election and assassination; it would show the public how long we’ve had fraudulent elections and is seemingly far removed from the insanity of 2020. Two or three days later I would release everything about Benghazi; this would bring attention closer to the present day but still nothing to do with this election. Quietly behind the scene, I would like to see some insider comments speculating about what would be released next: something about McConnell’s connections to China? evidence of coercion against Justice Roberts? blatant evidence of Biden’s financial gains while VP?
The Deep State needs to know absolutely that we’re going scorched earth on them. The first few people to talk will be the ones who survive; this is an opportunity for some to do the right thing and redeem themselves.
I just do not see any other way to get the attention of the majority of Americans who have not been following this closely.
2/ administration against Hillary after she was elected. As it was later explained to him, “President Obama has his people across the federal bureaucracy at this point, but especially at the Department of Justice. Hillary Clinton is going to be President for 8 years and nothing
3/ is going to change that, but think of there being a Bunsen burner within the DOJ. That evidence about the [2] bribes you were a part of gathering is going to be sitting on the Bunsen burner. The hand sitting on the burner is going to be one of Barack Obama’s people.
4/ If Hillary is a “good girl” and defends Obamacare, that flame stays low. If she’s a “bad girl” and thinks for herself, that flame is going to get turned up high. That way Barack Obama is going to manage Hillary Clinton for the 8 years she’s President, and then
5/ when she steps down, Michelle is going to run.” Claims it was called “Operation Snowglobe” [dubbed by Obama + Brennan] so that once Hillary stepped into it, they would be able to “shake her up” at any time during her Presidency, if needed. Says that Durham and Barr were aware
6/ of it.
Byrne stated there was an additional Hillary bribe prior to the one listed above, which was in the amount of $20M [involving the country of Turkey] and occurred in the fall, 2015.
This shocking claim was made in an interview with @annvandersteel
Video of Patrick Byrne available in this threat from Murray.
I think EVERYTHING needs to be Ordered to be released…AND…for those stating that people would simply refuse to comply…and if people would not follow Orders to force people to comply…THEN, this is precisely the Reason why it still must be Ordered…BECAUSE…it would finally show the American People that “their” Government is their own worst Enemy!…and then…Maybe…things then can change…just like with the Colonies way back when.
Release the Kraken, as it were… Release everything.
Being lied to and manipulated is insufferable.
Anyone know why Carter Page dropped his suit against FBI? Never heard that ending? Did they threaten his kids and their dog?
because carter and papa are source and methods to spy on people legally.
and all they care about is the book money?
Standing.
Declassify Everything.
It’s Our Republic, and everything in it, good or bad. The secrets are ours, they belong to all of us…. not just those who want to keep them secret.
Wikileaks just did a huge dump.
