The DOJ and FBI appear to be maintaining an aggressive posture against their political opposition on behalf of the ongoing ‘domestic extremist’ narrative. In a remarkable statement prosecutor Michael Sherwin claims that charges of sedition are possible for those who attended the January 6th protest in DC against the outcome of the 2020 election.
Conducting political surveillance, abusing the NSA database by extracting personal information in violation of the fourth amendment, lying to a FISA court to get a title-1 surveillance warrant against Donald Trump’s campaign, fabricating a false Trump-Russia conspiracy theory, pushing knowingly false information to the media to support a fraudulent investigation, initiating a special counsel to hide the trail of wrongdoing; and the FBI conducting political operations against the Trump administration, was apparently no big deal. However, attend a protest against the corrupt interests of the deep state in DC and you are guilty of “sedition.”
The weaponized institutions of government are openly displaying their intent now.
WASHINGTON DC – Michael Sherwin, the federal prosecutor tasked with investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, told “60 Minutes” in an interview that aired Sunday night evidence collected thus far likely meets the threshold to charge some suspects with sedition.
Any person charged with sedition is effectively accused of attempting to overthrow the U.S. government and faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
Scott Pelley, the correspondent, pointed out that the U.S. government has not charged anyone tied to the riot with sedition, but he quoted the statute and said that it seems like a “very low bar” to bring the charge.
Sherwin disagreed. “But I will tell you this,” he said. “I personally believe the evidence is trending towards that, and probably meets those elements.” (read more)
WATCH THE SEGMENT:
.
Consider…. During the time-frame of December 2015 through April 2016 the NSA database was being exploited by contractors within the intelligence community doing unauthorized searches.
On March 9, 2016, oversight personnel doing a review of FBI system access were alerted to thousands of unauthorized search queries of specific U.S. persons within the NSA database.
NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers was made aware.
Subsequently NSA Director Rogers initiated a full compliance review of the system to identify who was doing the searches; & what searches were being conducted.
On April 18, 2016, following the preliminary audit results, Director Rogers shut down all FBI contractor access (Crowstrike) to the database after he learned FISA-702 “about”(17) and “to/from”(16) search queries were being done without authorization. Thus begins the first discovery of a much bigger background story.
When you compile the timeline with the people involved; and the specific wording of the resulting review, which was then delivered to the FISA court; and overlay the activity that was taking place in the GOP primary; what we discover is a process where the metadata collected by the NSA was being searched for political opposition research and surveillance.
Additionally, tens-of-thousands of searches were identified by the FISA court as likely extending much further than the compliance review period: “while the government reports it is unable to provide a reliable estimate of the non compliant queries since 2012, there is no apparent reason to believe the November 2015 [to] April 2016 period coincided with an unusually high error rate”.
In short, during the Obama administration the NSA database was continually used to conduct surveillance. This is the critical point that leads to understanding the origin of “Spygate”, as it unfolded in the Spring and Summer of 2016.
It was the discovery of the database exploitation and the removal of access as a surveillance tool that created their initial problem. Here’s how we can tell.
Initially in December 2015 there were 17 GOP candidates and all needed to be researched.
However, when Donald Trump won New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina the field was significantly whittled. Trump, Cruz, Rubio, Kasich and Carson remained.
On Super Tuesday, March 2, 2016, Donald Trump won seven states (VT, AR, VA, GA, AL, TN, MA) it was then clear that Trump was the GOP frontrunner with momentum to become the presumptive nominee. On March 5th, Trump won Kentucky and Louisiana; and on March 8th Trump won Michigan, Mississippi and Hawaii.
The next day, March 9th, NSA security alerts warned internal oversight personnel that something sketchy was going on.
This timing is not coincidental. As FISA Judge Rosemary Collyer later wrote in her report, “many of these non-compliant queries involved the use of the same identifiers over different date ranges.” Put another way: attributes belonging to a specific individual(s) were being targeted and queried, unlawfully. Given what was later discovered, it seems obvious the primary search target, over multiple date ranges, was Donald Trump.
There were tens-of-thousands of unauthorized search queries; and as Judge Collyer stated in her report, there is no reason to believe the 85% non compliant rate was any different from the abuse of the NSA database going back to 2012.
As you will see below the NSA database was how political surveillance was being conducted during Obama’s second term in office. However, when the system was flagged, and when NSA Director Mike Rogers shut down “contractor” access to the system, the system users needed to develop another way to get access.
Mike Rogers shuts down access on April 18, 2016. On April 19, 2016, Fusion-GPS founder Glenn Simpson’s wife, Mary Jacoby visits the White House. Immediately thereafter, the DNC and Clinton campaign contract Fusion GPS… who then hire Christopher Steele.
Knowing it was federal “contractors”, outside government with access to the system, doing the unauthorized searches, the question becomes: who were the contractors?
The possibilities are quite vast. Essentially anyone the FBI or intelligence apparatus was using could have participated. Crowdstrike was a known FBI contractor; they were also contracted by the DNC. Shawn Henry was the former head of the FBI office in DC and was the President of Crowdstrike Services; a rather dubious contractor for the government and a politically connected data security and forensic company. James Comey’s special friend Daniel Richman was an unpaid FBI “special employee” with security access to the database. Nellie Ohr began working for Fusion-GPS on the Trump project in November 2015 and she was a CIA contractor; and it’s entirely likely Glenn Simpson or people within his Fusion-GPS network were also contractors for the intelligence community.
Remember the Sharyl Attkisson computer intrusions? It’s all part of this same network; Attkisson even names Shawn Henry as a defendant in her ongoing lawsuit.
All of the aforementioned names, and so many more, held a political agenda in 2016.
It seems likely if the NSA flags were never triggered then the contracted system users would have continued exploiting the NSA database for political opposition research; which would then be funneled to the Clinton team. However, once the unauthorized flags were triggered, the system users (including those inside the official intelligence apparatus) needed to find another back-door to continue… Again, the timing becomes transparent.
Immediately after NSA flags were raised March 9th; the same intelligence agencies began using confidential human sources (CHS’s) to run into the Trump campaign. By activating intelligence assets like Joseph Mifsud and Stefan Halper the IC (CIA, FBI) and system users had now created an authorized way to continue the same political surveillance operations.
When Donald Trump hired Paul Manafort on March 28, 2016, it was a perfect scenario for those doing the surveillance. Manafort was a known entity to the FBI and was previously under investigation. Paul Manafort’s entry into the Trump orbit was perfect for Glenn Simpson to sell his prior research on Manafort as a Trump-Russia collusion script two weeks later.
The shift from “unauthorized exploitation of the NSA database” to legally authorized exploitation of the NSA database was now in place. This was how they continued the political surveillance. This is the confluence of events that originated “spygate”, or what officially blossomed into the FBI investigation known as “Crossfire Hurricane” on July 31.
If the NSA flags were never raised; and if Director Rogers had never initiated the compliance audit; and if the political contractors were never blocked from access to the database; they would never have needed to create a legal back-door, a justification to retain the surveillance. The political operatives/contractors would have just continued the targeted metadata exploitation.
Once they created the surveillance door, Fusion-GPS was then needed to get the FBI known commodity of Chris Steele activated as a pipeline. Into that pipeline all system users pushed opposition research. However, one mistake from the NSA database extraction during an “about” query shows up as a New Yorker named Michael Cohen in Prague.
That misinterpreted data from a FISA-702 “about query” is then piped to Steele and turns up inside the dossier; it was the wrong Michael Cohen. It wasn’t Trump’s lawyer, it was an art dealer from New York City with the same name; the same “identifier”.
A DEEP DIVE – How Did It Work?
Start by reviewing the established record from the 99-page FISC opinion rendered by Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer on April 26, 2017. Review the details within the FISC opinion.
I would strongly urge everyone to read the FISC report (full pdf below) because Judge Collyer outlines how the DOJ, which includes the FBI, had an “institutional lack of candor” in responses to the FISA court. In essence, the Obama administration was continually lying to the FISA court about their activity, and the rate of fourth amendment violations for illegal searches and seizures of U.S. persons’ private information for multiple years.
Unfortunately, due to intelligence terminology Judge Collyer’s brief and ruling is not an easy read for anyone unfamiliar with the FISA processes. That complexity also helps the media avoid discussing it; and as a result most Americans have no idea the scale and scope of the Obama-era surveillance issues. So we’ll try to break down the language.
For the sake of brevity and common understanding CTH will highlight the most pertinent segments showing just how systemic and troublesome the unlawful electronic surveillance was.
Early in 2016 NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers was alerted of a significant uptick in FISA-702(17) “About” queries using the FBI/NSA database that holds all metadata records on every form of electronic communication.
The NSA compliance officer alerted Admiral Mike Rogers who then initiated a full compliance audit on/around March 9th, 2016, for the period of November 1st, 2015, through May 1st, 2016.
While the audit was ongoing, due to the severity of the results that were identified, Admiral Mike Rogers stopped anyone from using the 702(17) “about query” option, and went to the extraordinary step of blocking all FBI contractor access to the database on April 18, 2016 (keep these dates in mind).
Here are some significant segments:
The key takeaway from these first paragraphs is how the search query results were exported from the NSA database to users who were not authorized to see the material. The FBI contractors were conducting searches and then removing, or ‘exporting’, the results. Later on, the FBI said all of the exported material was deleted.
Searching the highly classified NSA database is essentially a function of filling out search boxes to identify the user-initiated search parameter and get a return on the search result.
♦ FISA-702(16) is a search of the system returning a U.S. person (“702”); and the “16” is a check box to initiate a search based on “To and From“. Example, if you put in a date and a phone number and check “16” as the search parameter the user will get the returns on everything “To and From” that identified phone number for the specific date. Calls, texts, contacts etc. Including results for the inbound and outbound contacts.
♦ FISA-702(17) is a search of the system returning a U.S. person (702); and the “17” is a check box to initiate a search based on everything “About” the search qualifier. Example, if you put a date and a phone number and check “17” as the search parameter the user will get the returns of everything about that phone. Calls, texts, contacts, geolocation (or gps results), account information, user, service provider etc. As a result, 702(17) can actually be used to locate where the phone (and user) was located on a specific date or sequentially over a specific period of time which is simply a matter of changing the date parameters.
And that’s just from a phone number.
Search an ip address “about” and read all data into that server; put in an email address and gain everything about that account. Or use the electronic address of a GPS enabled vehicle (about) and you can withdraw more electronic data and monitor in real time. Search a credit card number and get everything about the account including what was purchased, where, when, etc. Search a bank account number, get everything about transactions and electronic records etc. Just about anything and everything can be electronically searched; everything has an electronic ‘identifier’.
The search parameter is only limited by the originating field filled out. Names, places, numbers, addresses, etc. By using the “About” parameter there may be thousands or millions of returns. Imagine if you put “@realdonaldtrump” into the search parameter? You could extract all following accounts who interacted on Twitter, or Facebook etc. You are only limited by your imagination and the scale of the electronic connectivity.
As you can see below, on March 9th, 2016, internal auditors noted the FBI was sharing “raw FISA information, including but not limited to Section 702-acquired information”.
In plain English the raw search returns were being shared with unknown entities without any attempt to “minimize” or redact the results. The person(s) attached to the results were named and obvious. There was no effort to hide their identity or protect their 4th amendment rights of privacy; and database access was from the FBI network:
But what’s the scale here? This is where the story really lies.
Read this next excerpt carefully.
The operators were searching “U.S Persons”. The review of November 1, 2015, to May 1, 2016, showed “eighty-five percent of those queries” were unlawful or “non compliant”.
85% !! “representing [redacted number]”.
We can tell from the space of the redaction the number of searches were between 10,000 and 99,999 [six digits]. If we take the middle number of 50,000 – a non compliant rate of 85 percent means 42,500 unlawful searches out of 50,000.
The [six digit] amount (more than 10,000, less than 99,999), and 85% error rate, was captured in a six month period, November 2015 to April 2016.
Also notice this very important quote: “many of these non-compliant queries involved the use of the same identifiers over different date ranges.” This tells us the system users were searching the same phone number, email address, electronic identifier, repeatedly over different dates.
Specific person(s) were being tracked/monitored.
Additionally, notice the last quote: “while the government reports it is unable to provide a reliable estimate of” these non lawful searches “since 2012, there is no apparent reason to believe the November 2015 [to] April 2016 coincided with an unusually high error rate”.
That means the 85% unlawful FISA-702(16)(17) database abuse has likely been happening since 2012.
2012 is an important date in this database abuse because a network of specific interests is assembled that also shows up in 2016/2017:
- Who was 2012 FBI Director? Robert Mueller, who was selected by the FBI group to become special prosecutor in 2017.
- Who was Mueller’ chief-of-staff? Aaron Zebley, who became one of the lead lawyers on the Mueller special counsel.
- Who was 2012 CIA Director? John Brennan (remember the ouster of Gen Petraeus)
- Who was ODNI? James Clapper.
- Remember, the NSA is inside the Pentagon (Defense Dept) command structure. Who was Defense Secretary? Ash Carter
Who wanted NSA Director Mike Rogers fired in 2016? Brennan, Clapper and Carter.
And finally, who wrote and signed-off-on the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment and then lied about the use of the Steele Dossier? The same John Brennan, and James Clapper along with James Comey.
Tens of thousands of searches over four years (since 2012), and 85% of them are illegal. The results were extracted for?…. (I believe this is all political opposition use; and I’ll explain why momentarily.)
OK, that’s the stunning scale; but who was involved?
Private contractors with access to “raw FISA information that went well beyond what was necessary to respond to FBI’s requests“:
And as noted, the contractor access was finally halted on April 18th, 2016.
[Coincidentally (or likely not), the wife of Fusion-GPS founder Glenn Simpson, Mary Jacoby, goes to the White House the very next day on April 19th, 2016.]
None of this is conspiracy theory.
All of this is laid out inside this 99-page opinion from FISC Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer who also noted that none of this FISA abuse was accidental in a footnote on page 87: “deliberate decisionmaking“:
This specific footnote, if declassified, could be a key. Note the phrase: “([redacted] access to FBI systems was the subject of an interagency memorandum of understanding entered into [redacted])”, this sentence has the potential to expose an internal decision; withheld from congress and the FISA court by the Obama administration; that outlines a process for access and distribution of surveillance data.
Note: “no notice of this practice was given to the FISC until 2016“, that is important.
Summary: The FISA court identified and quantified tens-of-thousands of search queries of the NSA/FBI database using the FISA-702(16)(17) system. The database was repeatedly used by persons with contractor access who unlawfully searched and extracted the raw results without redacting the information and shared it with an unknown number of entities.
The outlined process certainly points toward a political spying and surveillance operation; and we are not the only one to think that’s what this system is being used for.
Back in 2017 when House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes was working to reauthorize the FISA legislation, Nunes wrote a letter to ODNI Dan Coats about this specific issue:
SIDEBAR: To solve the issue, well, actually attempt to ensure it never happened again, NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers eventually took away the “About” query option permanently in 2017. NSA Director Rogers said the abuse was so inherent there was no way to stop it except to remove the process completely. [SEE HERE] Additionally, the NSA database operates as a function of the Pentagon, so the Trump administration went one step further. On his last day as NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers -together with ODNI Dan Coats- put U.S. cyber-command, the database steward, fully into the U.S. military as a full combatant command. [SEE HERE] Unfortunately it didn’t work as shown by the 2018 FISC opinion rendered by FISC Judge James Boasberg [SEE HERE]
There is little doubt the FISA-702(16)(17) database system was used by Obama-era officials, from 2012 through April 2016, as a way to spy on their political opposition.
Quite simply there is no other intellectually honest explanation for the scale and volume of database abuse that was taking place; and keep in mind these searches were all ruled to be unlawful. Searches for repeated persons over a period time that were not authorized.
When we reconcile what was taking place and who was involved, then the actions of the exact same principle participants take on a jaw-dropping amount of clarity.
All of the action taken by CIA Director Brennan, FBI Director Comey, ODNI Clapper and Defense Secretary Ashton Carter make sense. Including their effort to get NSA Director Mike Rogers fired.
Everything after March 9th, 2016, had a dual purpose: (1) done to cover up the weaponization of the FISA database. [Explained Here] Spygate, Russia-Gate, the Steele Dossier, and even the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (drawn from the dossier and signed by the above) were needed to create a cover-story and protect themselves from discovery of this four year weaponization, political surveillance and unlawful spying. Even the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel makes sense; he was FBI Director when this began. And (2) they needed to keep the surveillance going.
The beginning decision to use FISA(702) as a domestic surveillance and political spy mechanism appears to have started in/around 2012. Perhaps sometime shortly before the 2012 presidential election and before John Brennan left the White House and moved to CIA. However, there was an earlier version of data assembly that preceded this effort.
Political spying 1.0 was actually the weaponization of the IRS. This is where the term “Secret Research Project” originated as a description from the Obama team. It involved the U.S. Department of Justice under Eric Holder and the FBI under Robert Mueller. It never made sense why Eric Holder requested over 1 million tax records via CD ROM, until overlaying the timeline of the FISA abuse:
The IRS sent the FBI “21 disks constituting a 1.1 million page database of information from 501(c)(4) tax exempt organizations, to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.” The transaction occurred in October 2010 (link)
Why disks? Why send a stack of DISKS to the DOJ and FBI when there’s a pre-existing financial crimes unit within the IRS. All of the evidence within this sketchy operation came directly to the surface in early spring 2012.
The IRS scandal was never really about the IRS, it was always about the DOJ asking the IRS for the database of information. That is why it was transparently a conflict when the same DOJ was tasked with investigating the DOJ/IRS scandal. Additionally, Obama sent his chief-of-staff Jack Lew to become Treasury Secretary; effectively placing an ally to oversee/cover-up any issues. As Treasury Secretary Lew did just that.
Lesson Learned – It would appear the Obama administration learned a lesson from attempting to gather a large opposition research database operation inside a functioning organization large enough to have some good people that might blow the whistle.
The timeline reflects a few months after realizing the “Secret Research Project” was now worthless (June 2012), they focused more deliberately on a smaller network within the intelligence apparatus and began weaponizing the FBI/NSA database. If our hunch is correct, that is what will be visible in footnote #69:
How this all comes together in 2019/2020
Fusion GPS was not hired in April 2016 just to research Donald Trump. As shown in the evidence provided by the FISC, the intelligence community was already doing surveillance and spy operations. The Obama administration already knew everything about the Trump campaign, and were monitoring everything by exploiting the FISA database.
However, after the NSA alerts in/around March 9th, 2016, and particularly after the April 18th shutdown of contractor access, the Obama intelligence community needed Fusion GPS to create a legal albeit ex post facto justification for the pre-existing surveillance and spy operations. Fusion GPS gave them that justification in the Steele Dossier.
That’s why the FBI small group, which later transitioned into the Mueller team, were so strongly committed to and defending the formation of the Steele Dossier and its dubious content.
The Steele Dossier, an outcome of the Fusion contract, contains three insurance policy purposes: (1) the cover-story and justification for the pre-existing surveillance operation (protect Obama); and (2) facilitate the FBI counterintelligence operation against the Trump campaign (assist Clinton); and (3) continue the operation with a special counsel (protect both).
An insurance policy would be needed. The Steele Dossier becomes the investigative virus the FBI wanted inside the system. To get the virus into official status, they used the FISA application as the delivery method and injected it into Carter Page. The FBI already knew Carter Page; essentially Carter Page was irrelevant, what they needed was the FISA warrant and the Dossier in the system {Go Deep}.
The Obama intelligence community needed Fusion GPS to give them a plausible justification for already existing surveillance and spy operations. Fusion-GPS gave them that justification and evidence for a FISA warrant with the Steele Dossier.
Ultimately that’s why the Steele Dossier was so important; without it, the FBI would not have a tool that Mueller needed to continue the investigation of President Trump. In essence by renewing the FISA application, despite them knowing the underlying dossier was junk, the FBI was keeping the surveillance gateway open for Team Mueller to exploit later on. Additionally, without the Steele Dossier the DOJ and FBI are naked with their FISA-702 abuse.
…. But sedition charges are reserved for Capitol Hill protestors.
My understanding from hearing a guest on Bannon’s show last week is that no fire arms were found on anyone. There were a handful of people with “objects” that the prosecutors may try to call “weapons.”
The abuse will continue until they are met with a greater fear. So far they have been met with a greenlight to continue.
correct answer.
I was there carrying a small TRUMP banner held on a 2 foot plastic banner pole…that was an “object”… so, I suspect that they will try to come and get me.
A lot of people in my neighborhood are still flying Trump flags and banners on their own flagpoles. Thanks for going to Washington to represent the rest of us.
Yes, that has been known for some time.
What we don’t know, and neither do their families or attorneys is anything about any of the deaths that allegedly took place.
I’d request the security footage during discovery. You know that footage they claim they can’t locate. Without it, prove my client did anything. If you have it to prove he did then the whole lot of it is available for discovery.
Yes, and the whole broke into the capitol fake story, etc. is going to be very hard to prove beyond a reasonable doubt when the attorneys start playing the footage of people being let in the door by security and waved onto the grounds by security and chatting politely indoors and taking selfies with security.
The level of theatr5oics with these things is off the charts.
BTW, IF you calim to be a part of the ALLEGED 95% of the ALLEGED good guys in the gubt and you don’t stand up against this, you proved you don’t exist. We always knew you were unicorns.
Kind of like “energetic material that can become combustible when subjected to heat or friction”.
Cesar Sayoc – set up as one who mailed pipe bombs to Trump critics? The feds showed their power to railroad an individual, you don’t want to be next was the message, IMHO
No fire arms? No problem! Nothing stops these people from achieving their objective…no evidence, let’s plant it!
what about all those pallets of bricks on street corners in the Summer of 2020?
It really does appear that the corrupt rulers of the U.S.A. and their enablers are spoiling for a serious uprising.
Fascinating how something that’s going so well, ( The PDJT Presidency) can be destroyed when the rule of law, and the equal meting of “ Justice “ and the utter corruption of your courts etc. etc. Prevail.
Goodness me, I was just talking to a mate in the U.K.
The talk there is China is “truly on the move” according to H.K. exiles in the U.K.
God bless PDJT
China is on the ground in the Germany. I know for a fact but can’t say how. Our gov is aware.
Chinese military have been in Canada at our Communist Governments request.
Our Department of National Defence confirmed this.
Apparently they were seen on Salt Spring Island here in our Gulf Islands ( just off NW Washington State.)
Stunning
What on earth would they be doing on Salt Spring Island? An entry point to the USA? Approved by Trudeau, no doubt. You’re saying at Trudeau’s request??? wth?? Just like the Chinese shooting practice in southern Ontario. “stunning” AND scary stuff going on here. Courtesy of Soros, no doubt. Who is reporting this in your area?
Canadians have to wake up. An election is coming up. Not sure Conservative O’Toole is up for this. Can’t the Conservative party find somebody with an ounce of charisma? Quebec won’t go for O’Toole!!
It’s not just Canadians who need to wake up but the entire free world. We are under attack and time is short.
Peppurr,
If you are interested search Chinese troops in Canada.
When asked ( they were not) 97% were against having the troops in Canada.
As the next poster shares, this is a world wide issue, that has been facilitated by nearly ALL Western Governments.
Merkel is a product of East Germany..Macorn and Trudeau are both young, dumb and communist.
I’m so sick of the words ‘there’s an election coming up’. Someone please tell me when the election(s) didn’t produce what they wanted instead of what the people wanted. I’m sorry but voting and talking in my opinion is not the answer. We need leaders who will act in person and lead in the front. Not all battles are won with blood but rather strength in numbers.
Germany can defend themselves. If they can’t, F*** ‘em.
Be a big embarrassment to them and their their fellow Woke governments if they have to beg Mah RUSSIA for help.
I agree.
defend against what, they’ve capitulated to them.
This is their attempt to instill fear….don’t protest anything coming out of this admin.
BS.
What they need is mockery. Like pointing out the sheer ridiculousness of committing “sedition” by stealing a podium.
you are having all of your resources to survive without them TAKEN and fully under their control. You have no farms. You have no way organize, because you live in popcorn houses on hills surrounded by fake neighbors you wave at but know absolutely nothing about.
—
mockery isnt needed. REGAINING LOST GROUND is what is needed. Otherwise THEY WILL PUSH THE FINAL BUTTON because they know it will work.
—
START MAKING DEALS WITH YOUR “perceived ENEMIES” now. FIND OUT what they want. GIVE IT TO THEM. Antifa CANT REALLY WANT THAT MUCH !
This intelligence gathering apparatus was what was being built under the guise of National Security for decades.
Add in 9/11 with the resulting war on terror and it has only accelerated the number and severity of those abuses.
Unchallenged this will end us all.
Recall what Maxine Waters stated BHO was doing??? He’s BUILDING a system that will forever be used…recall that statement and most had no clue. Has been played by some but lost over the yrs. THIS is likely WHAT was being BUILT…..
Why so many think Congress is compromised, Roberts/SCOTUS is compromised. HE (and whomever he allows to have) HOLDS the ‘secrets’…..phone records, text records, emails, ALL….WHEN needed.
To be fair, what you are alluding to is only the last piece needed in order to build a technocratic police state.
The surveillance tools and intelligence organizations were just one of many steps to make that possible.
One of the last was the willingness to use such as a means of control and or blackmail.
we are already in a police state
Link to Rush’s show on Maxine Waters statement about Obama’s legacy to Democrats – the largest database on the American people ever compiled.
They ALWAYS tell us what they’re doing, but it’s always so preposterous we never listen!

Interesting how Muslim-based terror attacks abruptly stopped under Trump.
Great point. I’ve noticed that too. Just like statues stopped getting knocked down after he put the hammer down. That is what a real leader can accomplish
It’s amazing how when you stip indiscriminately bombing a group of people (and occupying their country) they stop terrorizing you. Or, maybe it stopped because the cash dried up- we stopped giving the world our tax dollars willy nilly.
Now that Joebama and company in Congress seem to have opened up that faucet again (bombs in Syria and cash via “COVID Bills”), how long before we see a Muslim-based terror attack on U.S. soil?
Oh! …. Oh! …. Oh! [waving hand in air and jumping up and down in chair] What about Autonomous Zones?
On a serious note, this strikes me as an application of Cloward-Piven to criminal prosecutions. They have moved from attempting to crash the welfare system to attempting to crash the criminal justice system. The enemy is inside the wire.
It sure looks that way. They’ve been able to pass “covid relief” as a guise to bail out blue states. Let the floodgates open and voila! You now have even more bodies to claim as legitimate votes.
Pardon me, but wouldn’t a person or group actually have to have the physical ability to overthrow the government of the , arguably, number one nuclear armed superpower in the world ?
How quickly they forget that THEY WORK FOR US.
We give them no reason to think otherwise.
“How quickly they forget that THEY WORK FOR US.”
No, they don’t, and they haven’t for decades.
Correct! We only pay them.
I would ask the court- how do you overthrow a government that works for the people? You can’t. Judge are you admitting that our government no longer works for the people?
Uh, the American Gulag awaits anyone who dares to go against the Party. So, I do not really think legal logic applies after we have already seen a woman murdered, vets pulled out of their homes by SWAT teams and the FBI before dawn, etc. all for exercising their constitutional right to freely assemble.
Sedition is what they say it is.
One million political prisoners were released after Stalin died and his crimes were revealed. Most had merely called Stalin names or wrote something nasty, or visited someone who had a hidden radio, etc.
We have had a left wing media since 1920. We are just witnessing the blossoming of the seeds.
I
Whenever I try to topple the government of a nuclear superpower, I always put on a Viking hat and steal a podium. Sometimes I sit in the lead princess’ throne. Drives her crazy.
No one does a deep dive like S/D. I’ve been saying to friends since 2015 to read him.
The DOJ will have to tread carefully with sedition charges. Not saying they aren’t capable as we know they are a gangsta/thug government. Which is why they will tread.
They media won’t be able to hide the fact should they move forward and that won’t play well no matter how much MSM tries to spin it. To many alternative media these days.
The DOJ is prob weighing what outcome will benefit them.
A- they bring sedition charges and Americans are to nervous to ever try anything in future.
B- they bring sedition charges and Americans wake up to their full corruption and tyranny.
Thats why they did this on open air waves — to get people talkig – so the NSA loops can be AI fed to determine a probable reaction (pulse, vitals of the national population).
they will now LISTEN – and determine.

how do u make them decide to STOP? — you talk on your phones loudly with anger to your friends, family , etc.. and you let OUR VITALS be HIGH PRESSURE immediate HALT
Amazing how fast the wheels of injustice crank up when corruption is in the wheel house. Hey Durham!
And yet our southern border is being over-run by ILLEGALS, not even USA citizens and they are given $1400, a hotel room (@ $86M cost to we the taxpayer) relocated to OUR communities to SPREAD their diseases (50% COVID rate), spread their rape, murder, drug and theft culture, over-run our schools (non-English speaking), med clinics and ER’s with FREE health care, our social services depts for housing, EBT, WIC and the other 12-14 federal welfare programs we don’t even know about.
I’m not condoning anything done on Jan 6th. BUT that was VIOLENCE. That was, in many cases, patty cakes to THE VIOLENCE perpetrated by BLM/ANTIFA/Marxists/Facists THIS SUMMER and CONTINUES…..$billions destroyed, burned, rioted, looted and murdered to boot YET FBI doesn’t have time for them or DOJ or anyone else. NO FACES planted all over the world to implicate or id those…
WHY America is LOST. We have 3/4 differing America’s; we are divided and we ain’t coming together.
Abortion is extremely violent.
Just saying…
Abortion is the treasured sacrifice of Communist-Democrats.
$86 million IS NOTHING, try TRILLION$.
not only CCP Unlucky Horseshoe Bat Virus from Wuhan . . . what about other diseases, like TB?
FBI = Stasi or Gestapo! Take your pick!!
Rogue, ever since BHO and NEVER going back. Trump NEVER got a handle on it and while not at the level of rogue during BHO, the next 4Y will be x10.
They were crap long before Obama.
But…But…But…Sean Vannity said 99% of the regular agents were good American patriots. Yeah right. They will and do…. follow z orders in order to get z pension. Papers please.
So the ‘rule of law’ began on January 6,2021…yep, uh huh.
they stole the election – to use the power of the STATE to stop the arrest of them, and the reaction of the PEOPLE coming for them.

this can be won Ghandi style. it involves appealing to everyone (dems, illegals, antifa, EVERYOne)
Of all the crimes committed in the above summary, there will not be a single prosecution of any of these named individuals. Can the swamp really be drained?
Throw some sand in their machines.
I’ve seen mention of something called “Los Pepes”, but have no idea what it is.
Los Pepes was a vigilante group used by the Cali Cartel to take out Pablo Escobar and the Medellin Cartel in the early 1990’s.
Extremely vicious hits on Escobar and his gang.
Oh my, that sounds violent. Surely it meant something else, something peaceful and legal.
“Calling Bill Barr and John Durham, you are needed at DOJ to uncover evil!”

One can only imagine what back doors are now opening again for the goons to re-effectively weaponize the government to go after their political enemies. Probably as simple as revealing what tools the 3 letter agencies are now currently using to charge American citizens with sedition for voicing their 1st amendment rights over a clearly stolen election.
Expect them to dole it out one at a time, that appears to be the MO, but IMO that’s short-sighted in an adverse action scenario, it’s easy to honeypot. I’d expect them to go after people with families first, greater fear inducement and less likely to be violent conflict. Watch which age groups are targeted too, the young are more likely to be brainwashed and easier marks.
The wild card is the older vets who remember what it’s like to kill and have death tugging at their elbow in horrible conditions modern military rarely experiences. They’re also more likely to remember a free and liberty-filled America, nothing like we’ve had in recent times. Just like in war, if chaos impacts plans, a leader here, a leader there, they gather up troops and go make trouble.
What broke the back of past enemies? It wasn’t offing a politician or two, those people are simply puppets. What do people care about the most? It varies but can be narrowed down to a few things which matter and motivate. What destroys an enemy’s will to fight and die? The authoritarian Communists seem to put value in attacking families at dawn. That’s useful.
I expect them to go after anyone that has written, spoken, or worn the word “Trump” or “MAGA” first. Whether any non-Trump supporting agitators get prosecuted we will never know.
TRUMP ?? MAGA ??
TRUMP ?? MAGA ??
TRUMP ?? MAGA ??
I never was a good listener.
So lemme get this straight: The Deep State apparatchiks who conspired to subvert the Constitution of the United States and overthrow a duly elected President with forged evidence and lies sworn under oath, are going to charge average citizens with sedition for protesting a stolen election that was the fruition of their evil plans?
Sounds about right.
We have no power in any single institution, let alone the power to fight a single institution plus their MSM narrative engineers.
We have no power in fighting their game, nor winning, because their system is totally rigged in their favor, anything results in a win for them. We must fight them on our own field.
Ya know, I hope 3 or 4 SCOTUS judges toss and turn in their sleep from the fruits of their decisions. With each day, new fruit…rotten.
Where’s the great “CONstitutionalist”Amy Phony Grinandbearit? Hiding silently behind the walls and security of the corrupt usurpers along with the great “CONservative” Kavanaugh and Bush’s Joke Roberts who allow American liberty and it’s Constitution to be destroyed by the Communist.
Lady Fitzwalter: Why, you speak treason!
Robin: Fluently.
Said it before and I’ll say it again, more than any other single person in recent history, AG Barr stood athwart history and was in a position to stop the federal justice system’s Stalinist slide into tyrrany which began during the Clinton/ Reno/Holder years and put into hyperdrive under the 0bama/Holder/ Lynch regime.
Had Barr, that fat, phony, bible-thumping bastard, not violated his oath and did what he was actually hired to do, these commies might have thought twice about inciting a summer of race riots and then – right before the eyes of the entire world – blatantly steal a national election. . . and here we are.
Bill Barr did ‘exactly’ what he was hired to do.
He did it well.
He hid the bodies.
Pain is here for the individual freedom of Americans.
Evil loves pain but hates the individually free human being.
It is still March, the feckless noise of the left, isn’t getting any louder, but it persists.
The war to save our country is in full gear, the left knows it.
Any person with a drop of analytical sense knows very well, the capital attack was pure theater.
Stick your head in the sand, until 60 minutes comes on, then return to ignorance.
The evil of the left is 100% rabid now.
They have thrown everything at us, and we are still fighting, and we are winning.
We are in the strategy stage and still winning.
We keep digging down to a new level of malignity, just to find a more descending level of depravity.

Barr is collecting his “thirty pieces of silver” from the “good ole boy District of Corruption cocktail club” and entertaining them by blowing America’s taps on his bagpipes.
I posted this earlier on the Presidential Politics but feel it belongs here.
My guess is that advice from “former high ranking FBI officials”that it is unlikely that Trump’s speech could qualify as “incitement” by any reasonable legal standard will be ignored. The Democrats are determined to get a felony conviction of President Trump and any reasonable standards of the law don’t apply to him, it’s coming. The corrupt DOJ in counsel with Lawfare and Weismann will get some false charges into the DC US District Court, with a liberal Democrat Grand Jury, an obama Judge, a President Trump hating Prosecutor, and a DC democrat/bureaucrat jury who will convict. Any appeals will be denied including the Supreme Court! It must be shown that Republican Presidents aren’t above the law but Democrat Presidents are. This is how the two tier Justice system of a banana republic works. President Trump supporters will be denied from participating in the kangaroo court! Be prepared for this attempt by the corrupt leftist DOJ/FBI! Godspeed President Trump!
Three things about the lies these liars tell, I am —
Sickened by how they still have not “determined” what the cause of death was for the police officer who died the day after the rally.
But more so I am sickened at how they have said absolutely nothing concerning Ashley Babbitt’s murder.
And, as an attendee of both the rally for President Trump on January 6th and as someone who walked down Constitution Avenue in Washington, D.C. on January 6th to stand before “The People’s House” (as little up-chuck schmuck called it), I am disgusted that the douche labeled the entire event a “protest.”
This guy is a $hit salesmen with a mouthful of samples.
Well, they are doing whatever in the hell they want with no opposition and no consequences, so I’m sure they will charge some with sedition, possibly execute a few.
The GOP will say how it is deserved and ask the Dems for forgiveness.
We will bitch on message boards and blogs, various social media.
Then they will go right back to doing whatever in the hell they want with no opposition and no consequences.
The other message conveyed here:
Burning down a Federal courthouse in the name of anti-fascism is not sedition.
No, not sedition, because they did it at night.
And most important of all- the MSM either didn’t cover it or if they did they called them peaceful people in an Autonomous Zone. One of these guys lawyers should come out and say- well, the group declared DC an Autonomous Zone just like they did in Portland and Seattle. The same rules apply, right DOJ?
NOT shocking. I expected this. I just posted here that we are the next Taiwan.
But, let’s talk sedition. Sedition, to me, is our government and agents of our giovernment and representaties of our government, whose salaries we pay, and campaigns we contributed to, turn their backs on the MASSIVE ELECTION FRAUD that took place in 2020 and so far in 2021.
Not only turning their backs on it, but funding it massively, and continuing to fund it, and trying to break every last safeguard we have in place in the states. AND trying to shut us down and take away our 1st amendment rights to discuss it and peacefully protest it.
It is the governments job to protect our rights and not to infringe upon them or steal them from us. We need a massive lawsuit against the government on this massive coup.
When will the decent people of D.C., who live and work there, grow a set of balls and take back their District? Are there any left? I would NEVER give them nutcases statehood and that is what they are building towards.
The inept and corruptly tratorious fbi and doj should themselves be charged with sedition, insurrection and treason which according to this above mentioned article timeline proves the point!! If it goes to trial, ha ha, a whole lot of corrupt “rino crats” will be exposed and let’s see them try to pursue this while murderous black scum does not matter and antifa run wild for well over a year plus!!
Time to scale back the fbi, doj and the intelligence community and rebuild them!!
The only thing we are guilty of is defying the imposed oligarchy… (or democracy as they like to call it).
Hope they enjoy going after weak links in their little ‘show of force’. The rest of us are busy forging our resolve with hammer and steel.
wakie-wakie
They are going after lots of vets too. Most if not all were there to provide security should the left attack Trump supporters and now they are being railroaded.
Yes, going down nice and easy aren’t they. Playing wonderful examples for the media to showcase the overwhelming power and force of lawfare..
wakie-wakie
These prosecutions are theater. Meant to further the left’s narrative.
I don’t believe that at all! To me that was a Democrat dog whistle telling everyone get ready we’re going to indict President Trump! So get every thing in order, the right obama DC District Court Judge, start writing up the charges, the obama Judge once decided on can start writing his conviction opinion, make sure the Secret Service knows to stand down, make sure a CNN crew is there etc! The arrest at Mar Largo will make Roger Stone’s arrest look like a walk in the park! Just a wild guess but not out of the realm of possibilities! Godspeed President Trump!
Doesn’t sedition carried the death penalty and only the death penalty can be charge for sedition? If so, I feel sorry for the people that they are setting up for this charge.
Long prison terms.
Treason carries the death sentence. The Rosenbergs were convicted of espionage, but the judge felt it rose to the level of treason and handed down a death sentence.
Lucifer’s Children use lies,deceit, treachery, even murder to meet their ends. Just like thire father. This puke is no different.
After reading the lengths the Deep State will go to as far as ridding themselves of Donald Trump, how can they expect us to believe his election defeat was legitimate?
Joe Biden didn’t win.
Yaaaaawwwwwnnnnnn. Has anyone been prosecuted and sent to prison yet? How are McCabe, Clapper and Brennan doing at either CNN or MSNBC?
“Accuse Your Enemy Of What You Are Doing, As You Are Doing It To Create Confusion.”
– Karl Marx
“Thus it is revealed, that when left to itself, the perverted spirit drives madly on under the insatiable action of evil, and by association devoid of restraint, spirits aggravate each other’s woe; and therefore those in the broad arena were mutual sufferers.
“So also in the world of mortality, sin is strengthened in proportion to the number of minds actuated by its principles. Thus one evil doer supports another in the ways of evil. And herein is seen how one sinner destroyeth much good. Sin added to sin enlargeth its capacity, and increaseth its movement, until families, tribes and nations arm themselves to do battle in its behalf.
O, that mortals but knew the power of evil influence! Then prompted by the law of heavenly love, the Spirit of Grace, they would unite to prevent its workings in the carnal heart.”

Soooo, does this mean no report from Mr. Huber? /s
Mr. Huber? He’s probably hiding under his bed.
No, just hang on, that Huber report will be right here…
Don’t worry about any of this, the Trusty Planners are going strong on social media. Here’s an excerpt.
The circumstantial evidence that all is not as it seems continues to pile up.
There are WAY too many sub-hunting aircraft near Mar-a-Lago to be monitoring a Russian or Chinese submarine.
I’m now convinced that Trump is aboard an AMERICAN submarine off the coast of Florida.
Thanks. Needed that laugh! Indeed, definitely on a submarine 🙂
No one expects that first big lightning bolt from the storm cloud until it comes. Then watch out.
Every person being prosecuted should have their defense team play videos of the 9-month long acts of sedition that occurred in Washington and Oregon. Play the videos as evidence and then show the judges letting them off. Then ask the judge why their clients are being discriminated against? Why are their two sets of laws? And, more so, why did Chris Wray tell the SSCI that ANTIFA didn’t exist and were not present on the 6th? Then present the affidavit for Mr. Sullivan to the court.
Federal property is federal property regardless of its location.
Don’t forget about the protests inside the capital earlier when the abortion rights or what ever group it was took over pelosi’s office. No evictions ,no charges.
Remember the statement? “His kind must never be allowed to rise again”? They want to not only crush PDJT, but all of his supporters so the US is not governed by the people. That’s the goal.
One of Sundance’s greatest hits- This essay should be required reading for anyone who writes or opines about our current political situation.
Once our President Trump set up the date for the rally and encouraged his MAGA supporters to attend because it was going to be “wild” our goose was cooked. From that moment on, our Deep State enemies began working on the set up to strike another blow at the President and his Deplorables/malcontents/insurrectionists/Patriots/supporters, whatever the hell they call us.
The whole thing was planned, most likely with the FBI and other Injustice Dept. agencies and their Antifa accomplices.
Just look at the photos with this article and tell me this doesn’t have Antifa written all over it. They look like the same people you see burning down Portland.
Furthermore, everything was choreographed beforehand- by now most of us have seen the “shooting” video of Ashli Babbitt. By the way – WHAT HAPPENED TO ASHLI BABBITT- SAY HER NAME?
ARE THEY GOING TO ACCUSE PRESIDENT TRUMP OF KILLING ASHLI?? MAYBE THEY’LL ALSO INCLUDE THE DEAD COP SICKNICK to pin on him and US.
No doubt about it. The January 6th riot which was NOT part of the peaceful demonstration, was completely bought and paid for by the Deep State Swamp.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9387379/Trump-appointed-DC-attorney-leading-MAGA-riot-investigation-warns-former-president-charged.html
All true, yet one little factoid – President Trump did not set up the date for the rally, he got wind of it from those who did set up the date for the rally and President Trump embraced the idea of that event, hoping that the crowds that would develop because of his “it will be wild” comment, could be used as a positive reinforcement to get the politicians to support the idea of protesting the certification of certain State’s electoral votes.
As I ask in another comment, has anyone done a deep-dive on who those original event organizers are? Are they for-real MAGA patriots or deep-state plants to get the ‘Q’ crowd into one location in order to have faces that could be used to convince the uninformed what ‘seditionists’ look like?
There’s one guy, Ali something, that seems to work both sides of the fence, or so the reports I’ve seen on different sites are pointing out. And we all know Mr. Jones just likes to have his loud voice heard, an actor that has found fortune in being a rabble rouser. So am curious. But then again, at this point, what difference does it make?
Bessie- very interesting and I think you are right about someone else organizing the demonstration. Was it a group called “women for Trump” or something like that? My memory is shot. I need to reformat my hard drive!
Online search says it was created and organized by a group called “Women for America First”; is a 501c4 organization, i.e. one created for social welfare purposes but don’t qualify as charities, homeowner associations, volunteer fire companies are also in that same 501c4 category.
On their website wfaf.org is pretty blank as far as who the people in it are, and apparently there is an upcoming April 8 event, titled “Save America Summit” in Miami, with a golf outing at Doral. Their scheduled speakers include Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor-Greene and two other congressfolk, Byron Donalds and Kat Cammack –
so really not sure what to think, are they for real, rolcons or deep-state actors infiltrating MAGA? Guess we will know by their actions, fingers crossed they’re for real.
Here is a link to their upcoming April 8 – 11 summit page:
https://wfaf.org/summit/
Psychological projection…accuse and indict your enemies for the crimes you, yourself, have committed and are committing…
Have the people who came up with the idea, and put it into motion, and signed up the speakers and organized the details for the January 6 event, such as stages, speakers, getting permits, drove the busses, etc., etc. being investigated for organizing this “sedition”?
There has been extreme silence, in the msm media, on who those people are – seriously intent freedom loving patriots who with all pure intention thought they too had the rights to have their voices heard – or deep-state seventeenth agency operatives putting the obvious end-game of their certain ‘letter’ operation into place to be able to snare individuals this strange government we now have into their web in order that these agencies can have faces for the tv’s of who these dangerous sedition crowds are, simply to satisfy the hunger of the masses glued to their msm tv’s?
The FBI is corrupt, top to bottom. Hannity needs to shut up about the 99% of FBI agents who are great Americans who do great police work on our behalf. Better yet, Hannity just needs to shut up. The only fix for the FBI should be a mass firing of all of the agents and of every last one of the political appointees from the Obama, Bush, and Clinton Administrations. This will have to be followed by a ground up rebuild of the FBI under a new name after removal of the entire Patriot Act. If these guys are to be police, they need to be operating under the same Constitutional restraints that all of the local and State police forces do. In addition, all policing should be done without any access to privately stored databases on American citizens.
Of course, I don’t expect any of this to ever be done until all of the Communists are swept out of our Government. I don’t see that as ever happening either. Americans have gotten happy with the idea of being subjects of our ruling class regressives.
If you want Hannity to shut up, stop watching him and tank his ratings. He’s irrelevant and constantly is interrupting his guests.
Yeah, they’ve done to the FBI/DOJ what they are now doing to our military, driving out those who think differently and putting their own in charge.
FIB will be given time to fabricate all the necessary evidence.
Yup! That’s how this works. And while they’re busy fabricating and planting evidence, they can’t discuss “ongoing investigations”. How convenient.
In the meantime … the wife of the decorated veteran who was made to sit outside in the freezing dark for hours with their 4yr old child … while the FBI and Military arrested her husband and ransacked their home … has lost their unborn baby to a miscarriage.
What kind of prosecutor talks about his evidence before an arrest has even been made? A prosecutor more interested in threats than convictions.
One who knows the system is rigged and has no worries about getting an indictment and subsequent conviction! It’s how our corrupt two tier Justice system works in the newly created banana republic we now live in!
We have hundreds of Political Prisoners under the illegitimate Marxist regime.
I’d almost be ok with ” sedition ” charges if they are brought against known BLM and Antifa saboteurs on 1/6.
But still…..you can’t argue with Sundance’s narrative of facts.
Sickening.
This corrupt government5 has been committing’s sedition against the people of the USA for decades.
God Bless USA!
God Damn USG!
