The FISA Court is Compromised
I hate to write this, but there is just no good way to look at this. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, specifically Presiding Judge James Boasberg, has hired former DOJ National Security Division head, Mary McCord, as amici curiae advisor to the court. [LINK] The placement was first noted by an announcement from Georgetown Law ICAP.
Presiding Judge James Boasberg, is the decision-maker in the appointment of Amici Curiae to the FISA court. There is no way, NO WAY, Judge Boasberg does not know Mary McCord was at the epicenter of the fraudulent FISA application used against Carter Page. Remember, in addition to being the FISC Presiding Judge, Boasberg was also the trial judge in the case against Kevin Clinesmith, the FBI lawyer who lied about Page working for the CIA on the FISA application. {Go Deep}
Boasberg knows Mary McCord took over from former DOJ-NSD head John Carlin (October 2016); and it was McCord who guided the Carter Page FISA application through the court and across the finish-line (October 2016 and January 2017). That FISA application was built upon fraud and Mary McCord was at the center of it.
Mary McCord was also the DOJ-NSD official who went with Sally Yates to confront the White House Counsel, Don McGhan, about the Michael Flynn interview with the FBI. {Go Deep} It was also Mary McCord who had Michael Atkinson as the chief-legal-counsel for the DOJ-NSD -that’s her office attorney- when the FISA application was submitted in October 2016, and renewed in January 2017.
Michael Atkinson went from DOJ-NSD counsel to become the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG). {Go Deep} In that new role Atkinson changed the rules to allow an anonymous CIA whistleblower (Ciaramella on behalf of Vindman) to file the complaint that led to the Ukraine impeachment effort. {Go Deep} Who was the lead lawyer in the Jerry Nadler led House Judiciary Committee? Why Mary McCord of course. Judge Boasberg knows all of this… AND MORE.
Boasberg knows the details of the fraudulent FISA application. Boasberg knows the details of the Inspector General Michael Horowitz report about the fraudulent FISA application; and all the DOJ and FBI participants… which included Mary McCord. Boasberg knows exactly who Mary McCord is, and what activity she has taken on behalf of the political resistance inside the DOJ and inside congress. FISC Presiding Judge James Boasberg also knows Mary McCord has broken the law….
…And yet Boasberg appoints McCord as amici curaie?
Let’s be really clear here. The FISA court is a small unit. The judges in/around Washington DC are also a small unit. They know everything that is going on in and around their DC network. A FISA judge inside that DC system knows every granular detail of everything that comes into their purview. All of it. Judge Boasberg even wrote the last two FISA court opinions (2019 and 2020) about the FBI abuses of the FISA-702 process and warrantless, illegal violations of the NSA database.
There is simply no other way to look at the placement of Mary McCord other than to see what it is. The FISA court is compromised; AND, McCord is being installed in order to coordinate any defensive measures that are needed to cover-up that compromise. [ex. if special counsel John Durham makes something public and Durham has been to the FISC with questions.]
There isn’t another way to look at this other than to see bad motives. There’s not a shred of possibility that Judge Boasberg does not know exactly who Mary McCord is, and what roles she played in the surveillance of candidate Donald Trump, President-elect Trump, President Trump and the House impeachment effort to remove President Donald Trump. Boasberg knows exactly who Mary McCord is.
There is no other way to look at this.
I hate to say it so bluntly, but the FISA Court is compromised.

More and more, what I now see when I look at America, is Hitler Germany and Stalin Russia gazing back at me.
Here’s a piece of history for you and I wish I was making this up…
April 19- Dateline: Boston. Massachusetts
Governor Condemns Armed Extremists
Guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed on April 19 by the elements of a paramilitary extremist faction. Military and law-enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw.
Speaking after the clash, the Massachusetts governor declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right wing tax protest movement. The Governor blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor described the group’s organizers as criminals, and issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government’s efforts to secure law and order.
The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed widespread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault weapons.
The governor issued a ban on military style weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting earlier this month between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized forcible confiscation of illegal arms. One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out that none of these people would have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons. Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition elsewhere in the state.
However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government’s plan. During an intense standoff in Lexington’s town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender their weapons and return to their homes.
The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right wing extremists. Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange.
Ironically, the local citizenry blamed the government forces rather than the extremists for the civilian deaths. Before order could be restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the guard units. Col. Smith, finding his forces over matched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat.
The governor has called upon citizens to support the state and national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the attack against government troops. Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as the ring leaders of the extremist faction, remain at large.

Sundance, are you surprised?
Sundance is often disappointed, but rarely surprised.
On this one, yes.
This is an extreme move…. not a flashing warning light, but rather a supernova of sunlight right atop the swamp’s deepest part. This is so revealing nothing else will ever come close.
Oh they will think of something even worse than this. It’s in their DNA. And this is even assuming no worsening of their current criminal DNA by the mRNA. Especially if the fascist hack judge in Arizona fails to stop the audit and a couple of other states follow Arizona’s lead..
Between this and the vote fraud audits don’t be surprised by a sudden ” Distraction Level Event ”
Pray I’m wrong !
My guess for the distraction level event would be something like China invading Taiwan – nothing like turning a nation’s attention to the big one – w a r – to have people stop looking at the nuts and bolts of corruption at home.
And with mass vaccinations, it is quickly beginning in our DNA (at least the DNA of those who take the vaccine).
Silver lining; mark who stands up against this, and who sits on their hands.
Yes. Some actions are so irrefutably corrupt, no one with a shred of integrity has an excuse to not stand up and voice loud opposition and demand the action be cancelled or reversed.
THAT message needs to be loud, daily, and accompanied every time, repeatedly, by Sundance’s major points describing these officials’ blatant corruption.
One might conclude that it figures to be a signal to certain relevant parties that they’re going about their business full throttle.
It’s reminiscent of when we would get a tweet from the two agencies heads who indicated high confidence in the dossier, or Bill’s tarmac conversationalist, or Barry’s wingman sending a signal people to stand up and do their duty etc.
Coming from you SD, this makes it doubly concerning that the court would hire this woman. Really flaunting their control and the law right in our faces.
I can’t wait to see who else, if anyone in any media covers this supernova story.
Hello? Calling America First Legal. What are you waiting for? (@Ad rem, I know, I know “comment pending approval” LOL)
Sundance, what do we do? I feel like a tornado has come through and all I have to clean up the mess is a pair of tweezers.
Where do we even begin? Is there even a point? Should we just cut our losses and leave? Do we even have the option to rebuild somewhere else?
In case there was any doubt remaining about John Roberts being a black hat, this should remove it.
Separation of power cloaks a traitor to both law and constitution..
I am sure the Mike Lee types are fine with this.
I always thought the court was in on the Russia hoax. They should have been furious when this stuff started coming out. If we ever get control of the Congress, this law and court needs to be done away with.
WvVet, of course, they were.
They are now exposing and disclosing themselves. It doesn’t look good for any of them.
I see it a little difrnt
I take it that they believe they’ve won
Everything
Forever
Demographics is destiny and the moves they’re making with illegal immigrants and muslim / African “refugees” pushes them ever closer to permanent rule
PresTrump was the only real obstacle that confronted them and they made final work of him and his supporters with the election theft and reclassification of all patriots as so-called “white nationalist violent extremists”, on whom they can sic all of the law-enforcement and intelligence agencies
I’m not saying “all is lost”, necessarily
But I’d bet a donut that’s where they see themselves
Hence, free to gloat, free to reveal, free to rub it in
Gnomesayin’ ?
They most certainly haven’t won everything forever.
The big problem is that the 2020 electoral fraud was too obvious. The majority of voters believe massive electoral fraud occurred. This includes 30% of Democrat voters.
This means suppressing dissent becomes a monumental and ever increasing problem. Just like trying to fight terrorism in the middle east. Every missile that goes off course and kills civilians, creates more terrorists in their surviving relatives.
Think about what purging the ranks of the military of “extremists” (read: Trump voters) really means. First you have expelled the competent, and are left with a bunch of Vindman’s. Second, you are creating a huge amount of suddenly unemployed people with military training, who own guns and are angry at the illigitimate Regime that just purged them.
For the Biden Junta and the Republicons that installed them, it is all downhill from here. Nothing they say or do is going to ever convince the majority of citizens that they are legitimate. The Misleadia’s lies and the Big Tech Neo-Orwellians censorship and spying their efforts couldn’t get Biden over the line. Despite all their efforts, Biden still needed massive electoral fraud to “win”.
This is what brought East Germany down. The suppression of the population just leads to more resistance. Soon all of the Junta’s resources will be wasted on suppressing the only persons who provide any work of value within US borders.
Hear! Hear! Konrad – I like your scenario
Excellent positive analysis, Konrad.
Thanks very much for your comment. You raise some great points.
Well said Konrad!
It certainly does look that way doesn’t it?
Well, when PresTrump was elected, he bought us some time, gave us a temporary reprieve
But we knew that when Dems got back in power they’d run the table and solidify their demographic bowl-0ver of our country
I had only hoped PresTrump would give us an 8-year reprieve
But they got him out after only 4 with the steal
Now our nation descends
Preparing to surveil Trump supporters/conservatives/Christians as domestic terrorists linked to foreign-based right wing extremist groups.
Hmmm, I wonder if little old me sitting here in South Africa, and supportive of the MAGA philosophy because I believe a lost America equals a lost world, and a future of state tyranny with the freedoms so “gifted” to the world by a free America, soon to be a distant dream – I wonder, do I now qualify as a “foreign” extremist?? Has my posting on sites like this now painted me as some dangerous “enemy”, worthy of surveilance at the very least, and a possible future drone or SWAT visit. What fantastic recruiters are these, that would take your average boring Joe, who for most of their lives have never committed sins greater than the odd parking ticket. the odd drunken weekend, and perhaps the odd joint, and turn them into the most dangerous “terrorists” ever to walk the Earth. Perhaps my 85 year old mother is now also “under suspicion” simply because – well, she must bear some of the responsibility – bringing a “terrorist” into the world. Sorry Mom.
Greetings Oldspeak. I often think of South Africa. From news reports, it seems a dangerous place to live. Sad to think that we in America could end up becoming just like your country. I used to wake up each day with a smile on my face and now with Pres. Trump exiled I feel as if I am just existing.
My mum would just blame my dad then I got the beatin !
Americans have yet to realise the extent of world wide support they really have, and are just now on mass understanding how much of the real peoples of the world they collectively let down through fake goverment inspired wars, the spoonfed media baby puke has now been exposed for the utter sh*t it is , as Admiral Yamamoto stated ” I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with terrible resolve”
The world is now watching the giant stretching and yawning before waking thats all.
What revenge will the giant partake to make amenze for the suffering caused by those that shat on him as he slept ?
They can claim you’re helping the Russians spread FUD about covid vaccines; no problem obtaining FISA for that. –

Sundance, would the sunlight that is needed in order to create the noise needed to clean up this corrupt, or compromised, group of lawyers/judges be in the form of distributing the volume you had referenced putting together, the one which you had taken great care to present to, was it Aldenberg? (so many names to remember so apologize if it’s not the right name)?
With the new lawyer group started by Stephen Miller (America First?), new platforms working out the bugs to come online such as Lindell’s Frank as well as the one hinted at by President Trump that may come online sometime this summer, would those be platforms that would begin to shine the light needed to bring the noise needed to reform, eliminate if possible, the whole FISC/FISA small working group?
Perhaps the timing would be once the audit results from Arizona become known, if it shows Pres. Trump did win in Arizona that would surely wake up a lot of people who’ve been sleeping to add to the cries for change?
Just thinking out loud. Thank you for being such a wonderful sleuth! Goodness, none of this would have ever come to light without your intrepid diligence.
FTA: “I hate to say it so bluntly, but the FISA Court is compromised.”
I think you already knew that. And we already knew it.
But this is certainly another “in your face – you can’t stop us” giant neon arrow pointing to the corruption within. They no longer even make the feeblest attempt at hiding it. Our government is so completely rotten to the core that they are emboldened to just do what they please, when they please, completely comfortable in their police-state hides.

A good lawyer knows the law, a great lawyer knows the judge.
Your honor, at this time we’d like to enter a motion to fix.
Granted
… and it corollary – A successful lawyer knows the law, a very successful lawyer knows the judge.
Why do I keep seeing parallels with trichanosis?
Honest Jim Boasberg is a Skull & Bones swamp boy who gave a pass to Clinesmith for forging evidence. Other Bonesemen in the news lately include GW Bush, John Kerry and Robert Kagan. All clearly despise any group that challenges the Swamp.
The Yale unit.
The cabal is so drunk with their power they can’t help themselves. They must rub our faces in their shit and they don’t care a bit about it. Steal an election. spy on citizens, violate the Constitution. No problem.
They are also overplaying their hand. They are not gaining support, they are losing support. Every time someone removes their mask it is a sign of resistance. Every time someone refuses to take a “Shot”, it is a sign of resistance.
It gets more difficult for the “Cabal” in little ways they never had to experience before. The Communist-style Democrats rely solely on fear. The more the people See the less they have to fear because they now know more about the enemy.
It’s only “overplayed” if there are significant consequences for them that result from their actions.
Otherwise, absent those consequences, it’s just “played.”
Living in the NY Gulag, I can tell you that their gross incompetence works in our favor. Also the extreme laziness of everyone who works for The Government.
These are people who get the most pay for the least work. They don’t like to do anything that requires any great effort. Plus most of them are damn stupid.
They don’t know fear, YET but soon we will show them what it means.
There will come a time when they will fear for their very lives.
How many of these “judges” are employees of the CIA?
Purposely chosen, and specifically put in place.
I’d be willing to say Boasberg is.
When the Invisible Hand can be seen, it is in the form of the mailed fist.
Boasberg sounds like beelzebub to me. Not one of these deep state devils have the fear of Almighty God in them. They are deceivers and are walking around with HUGE millstones tied around their necks. You would think they’d feel the weight of those stones, but they told their souls to get lost a long time ago.
Obama’s take over has been with us for a decade. Sickening.
Who knew Manchuria was a village in Kenya?
Indeed. who knew?
Beginning in 2008, many of us knew. Ozero’s ideology and political alignment was never a secret to anyone who bothered to do even the most minimal research.
Far too many Republican voters had their idealistic heads in the sand (or elsewhere where it was darker, damper, and smellier) and sought admiration from friends and associates by voting for the country’s first black presidential candidate, ignoring his blatantly anti-America, communist leanings.
“I hate to say it so bluntly, but the FISA Court is compromised.”
And you back and have backed that assertion with mountainous evidence from primary sources. We can contrast that with the “dossier” and the journalistic product of Isikoff, Corn, Barrett, Nakashima, Watkins, Zucker and all the leaks / plants / misinformation (Wittes, Richman) therein.
Speaking of which, where are all the wonderful fact checkers shredding the Post, NYT, AP, McClatchy, etc. when there’s so much clearly evident “misinformation / disinformation” that remains relevant? Aren’t all of these tech companies and “fact checkers” doing this for the sake of domestic security / societal survival / equity etc.?
It has looked like most have been saving their energy concerning the current regime — though some of them certainly seemed to find their voices on cue at that Arizona audit press conference, didn’t they?
So-called ‘fact checkers’ didn’t exist until the truth started getting out
(saw it on a meme)
“Fact checkers” are Orwell’s Ministry of Truth. Their job is propaganda.
The populace must be made willingly to submit to being led.
The populace must believe . . .
Pretty much Mickey flipping the bird back at us. The arrogance of this appointment is astounding. Open season for domestic surveillance of the political opponents of the Deep State. The very court responsible for making sure foreign electronic surveillance via the NSA database is not abused appoints the chief abuser. Unfricking believable.
NSA was always meant to be abused. It was always a spying operation against Americans.
Just ask Seth Rich
who else would have KNOWN he was about to make waves ?

Another great discovery.
JMO, Judge/s Boa-snake…. made this decision with input and approval from very few people….. perhaps as little as two.
They are hoping this is a pivotal move but what it does is expose their hubristic belief in their own self-proclaimed genius.
Visualize hitler giving orders from the bunker in Berlin in 1945.
It definitely can be viewed as a power move but under closer observation, it exposes their fear of losing their power to the American people.
After all, it is 100,000,000+ against a small group of treasonous scrum.
MAGAers are getting the job done in Arizona and the other states. The only thing the bad guys can respond with is to make one (1) judicial aide appointment …. that is it. And we are suppose to be quaking in our boots?
Don’t think so….on with the job of exposing the 2020 fraudulent election! If you haven’t joined the effort, this is the time to do so.
ps They aren’t geniuses, they are the gang that couldn’t cheat straight and left a trail a blind man could follow.
“After all, it is 100,000,000+ against a small group of treasonous scrum.”
It is a relatively *very small* group of treasonous officials …… who unfortunately control the Executive, the national intelligence machinery, both houses of the national legislature, the courts, the federal LEAs, and the military to carry out their increasingly totalitarian offensives against patriots who resist the corruption.
Our side currently lacks leadership who conspicuously and very vocally oppose the complete lack of morals or accountability inside DC. We need a call to action from a strong leader surrounded by strong and obviously determined, principled lieutenants. They have to call out each and every act of mockery of law and justice by the DemoCommunists. And keep repeating the Lefts crimes on a daily basis from multiple bullhorns.
” who conspicuously and very vocally oppose the complete lack of morals or accountability inside DC. ”
Very good point.
The GOPe went over to the other side years ago.
We definitely are in a transition period……
That still doesn’t change the equation between us and them….we are still the massive majority and they are not…..
Our side is marshaling the states and their populations against the enemies within the walls…..
Just like the founders planned….when the whole government is compromised by treasonous and foreign enemies, the responsibility for protecting the Constitution and the rule of law falls to the citizen volunteer…. that be us.
Americans will never let a fraudulent election stand…..
The other day when Paul Revere’s description of the events during the early days of the revolution was republished here on the CTH, I was amazed by how many traitors there were within the patriots ranks. Besides Benedict Arnold there were many tories undermining the patriots.
They had their own GOPe, circa 1776 and they prevailed because of the patriots.
As Yogi said, it is déjà vu all over again.
Unfortunately the technology and weaponry owned by the federal government puts the “very small” group who are in power at a serious advantage over our 100M citizens, armed at most with handguns, semiautomatic rifles, maybe a few automatic weapons among the collectors and ultra-serious 2A enthusiasts.
We have no satellites or high altitude drones with which to spy down on the communists’ whereabouts; we (the general public) have no NSA-type SIGINT capabilities to listen in on their plotting and scheming via electronic comms.. Yet they have all of that and Lord knows what else (all purchased with our tax dollars) that they use against us.
We can organize in very small groups in person, but we cannot organize or coordinate over the internet because that is easily monitored (despite being illegal) by the communists in our government. FISA is a weapon that is constantly and routinely being used against citizens regardless of what the proponents assured us back when the Patriot Act was first passed.
So in your figurative “equation” describing the balance of power, make sure to include those significant power multipliers on the communist government’s side.
GB,
I will give you your bad guy’s force multipliers, they certainly are impressive and no doubt are what the bad guy’s hubris is based on. …. in fact, they have bet the farm on them …… they must feel like Goliath, circa 2021.
If you will give me God’s awesome powers on MAGA’s side, as in
KJ, Romans 8:31:
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?”
I don’t assume to know what God’s plans are but, IMO, most honest brokers agree that the wins that President Trump has accomplished can’t be explained by the capabilities ascribed to a common man without some heavy spiritual influence.
At first glance, little David must have been seen as being out-gunned by the big guy.
There’s No denying our Father’s awesome and unlimited power. Question is, will He use it soon to our benefit, or are we currently under Divine Discipline for the majority of our nation’s abandoning God and Jesus and putting too much faith in men and earthly things?
Stay tuned.
I wouldn’t miss it ……..
Faith and grace, an awesome duo.

“The Second Amendment doesn’t give you a right to be a racist.”
Mary McCord of
@GeorgetownICAP
rightfully calls on responsible gun owners to condemn gun extremists who try to hide their racism behind “Second Amendment rights.” »
What gives her the right to be a ruthless, controlling fool?
Nothing in the entire Constitution gives McCord the right to lie and defraud the people while fabricating false evidence against a duly elected President.
McCord’s assertion of racism is indefensible and easily disproved. Her crimes against the State however are far more easily proved. Methinks she doth protest too loudly.
-And who are the “Second Amendment absolutists”?
People who understand the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution?
«A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.»
—And what is she calling “political violence”?
I believe (with no polls or statistics at my hand to support my beliefs) that “Second Amendment absolutists” is a straw man argument from her or anyone. IMHO, the percentage of pro-2A citizens who believe in the “absolute” right of citizens to own any and every type of firearm ( a 155mm Howitzer is a firearm; so is an M1 Abrams Tank) is very small, compared to those who believe in a more pragmatic interpretation of the Second Amendment as has been the situation for many decades.
I will not argue the Second Amendment here in the Comments section; that is for another space. But I do not believe in 99% or maybe all of the additional restrictions that the anti-gun mob in the DemoCommunist party have been pushing and are still pushing to implement.
“The Second Amendment doesn’t give you a right to be a racist.”
That is a valid statement. The Second Amendment does not give me a single thing.
My rights are a GIFT FROM GOD. The Second Amendment merely acknowledges this pre-existing right and attempts to codify it.
The Second Amendment is the “Break Glass in Case of Fire” clause, enabling free men to effectively fight extra-judicial encroachment of those rights God desires for the protection of their life, liberty and happiness.

If there is no assurance of justice in the courts, then this a s rogue government and there will be justice by other means.
For your consideration, I think it be unwise not to assume that the fbi, cia, et. al. have compiled blackmail files on any and everyone in the halls of power in DC.
They were found out under j. edgar hoover, and I doubt they ever stopped. I think it would be unwise to think give them the benefit of the doubt.
The past few years have made me realize that collecting blackmail on each other is the norm for the DOJ.
And it has been for years. Bagpipe Bob Bondo Barr is all the proof you need.
Actually makes a lot of sense that the DOJ would turn crooked while Hoover was under it.
But wasn’t the DOJ itself created to cover up some scandal back under President Grant? Has it always been crooked?
I guess the only real change is that Trump forced them to run all their dirty laundry up the flag pole in their desperate effort to frame and abuse him.
And now that Trump is out, they are blatantly going after the rest of us. Sure that they can do so openly since they control all propaganda. (media)
The FISA Court is not only compromised but unconstitutional based on its very existence due to the fact that FISA judges are neither appointed by the President nor confirmed by the Senate.
Instead, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is somehow allowed to violate the constitutional seperation of powers by simultaneously appointing and confirming FISA judges all on his own without any checks by the other branches.
Very good point. I wonder who appointed Roberts and why? sarc/
Only term limits on judicial appointments offer a chance of rehabilitating the justice system.

Lawyers in black robes?
FISA abuse. Military purge of extremists.
Bon Jovi song comes to mind,

Who could be surprised by this? I think we all knew the FISA court was compromised after the details of the Russia gate mess came out. When we lost the majority of the court system to the left, it marked a new gate closed to the American republic. It’s another road block to gaining American freedoms again. I have no idea how we change the legal system back to more of a resemblance of what it should be. To have our legal system compromised all the way to the SC is rather frightening to contemplate.
All 3 branches of govt. are now under leftist control? Are we the people the only ones left who can save the country? We got ourselves into this mess by ignoring the years of creeping suppression. Now we have o get ourselves out of it.
They don’t even try to hide the corruption and malign motives any longer.
Why should they? They rest easy in their certainty that the lawmakers are above the law.
May their arrogance hasten their downfall.
John who?
“This is NO SMALL THING to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption”—Vanderboegh
“I hate to write this, but there is just no good way to look at this.”
Yes, there is just no good way to simply write about tomorrow’s host of fresh indignities after THIS. Yet the same could have been said about Trump getting railroaded out of the WH, and a dozen other subsequent cataclysms to liberty.
The writing continues and we seem to be running out of superlatives which is the same as the inkwell running dry. That’s okay. SD does unparalleled analysis. He’s not derelicting his duties. To an analyst, every development exists to be deconstructed. No one does it better on our side than SD.
But what about other quarters of society and their requisite responsibilities? If you watch Sidney Powell’s recent interviews, she offers that she’s an attorney obliged to work within the legal system she finds herself in. And she’s doing a bang-up Patriot’s job working within the WHOLLY corrupted parameters of her profession. It feels like another cul de sac.
Not to leave it at the Yellow Vests, the French are on the post-rhetorical forefront yet again, this time with their Generals.

My experience in DC is of retired brass chasing Beltway Bandit double-dips or seeking to become Fox media luminaries. Everybody wants to be Mickey Rooney and put on a show. Does the rubber ever hit the road or is it rubber all the way down? In the words of Gil Scott-Heron, the revolution will not be televised. But that doesn’t mean it won’t keep settling for a lit-up blogosphere, maybe until its too late.
Speaking of the French, there are groups of musicians doing flash mobs to protest against the lockdowns and covid brutality.
Their song, Danser Encore, has become the anti-lockdown hymn.
Good to see you again. Seneca.
Absoluement merveille!
The apathy and indifference from the vast majority of the U.S. population is more crushing, to be honest.
People went wildly lock-step with the Bushes for all kinds of surveillance after 9/11, and it has only gotten worse.
A majority of Brits will accept a vaccine passport for the restored privilege of accessing pubs. There’s the tenor of western society for you. Sort of explains the elite’s contemptuous sneers.
Yes. I believe the worst, that it’s all true that the inner circles are twisted with compromise and criminal cover up.
But let me ask you this: would any of these hateful events be even possible if Sessions and Barr had done their duty?
And Wray.
Only two options left…a nasty divorce or a civil war. One or the other.
Salt the earth they walk on
I have been lurking around Treehouse since 2012 or so and, seriously, is anyone surprised by all of this?
DC should be clipped off and shoved out to sea.
In my opinion they fully intend to use FISA to steamroll investigations into individuals that are a threat to the uniparty state and this is a further move to further insulate themselves. We are off the rails.
That barbed wire fence around the Capitol was a good start! Expand it and quarantine all of DC while Congress is in session. Take advantage of Biden’s speech to Congress and seal them all in! (I’m only half kidding!)
I wish I could say I was surprised by this, but nothing shocks me anymore.
The same corrupt bureaucrats are just recycled into different positions with no consequences. DC is a cesspool and the consequences of a failed government grow worse each day.
How ignorant or complicit are our state leaders?
So, these are unelected SOBs who runs this country? Now we know who to fire when DeSantis become president.
Firing is way too good for these criminals. That is not the first thing that comes to mind.
