Why does government seem to control so much of our lives now? What significant changes happened in the past 15 years that created a social shift and allowed government to influence almost every facet of our activity? Why has the previously ordinary become so complex? Why is it more difficult to be comfortably invisible and just live out the creed of pursuing ‘life, liberty and happiness’? What is behind all this?
We were not sleeping, we were wide awake. Perhaps distracted, yes; but we were wide awake when something shifted. A Fourth Branch of Government was quietly created, and technology allowed the tentacles of the system to touch us. That’s the root of it, and if we take the time to understand how the Fourth Branch originated, questions about this perpetual angst start to make sense.
The number one question on this website, and amid everyone I talk to is: “What can be done? How do we fix this mess?” There is actually something that can be done at a federal level, but it won’t be easy, and it will take a very strong and deliberate action against one specific chamber of congress to change the dynamic permanently.
The Senate is at the root of the issue.
Without the U.S. Senate being complicit and thoroughly corrupted, none of the events that face us daily would be happening.
The Senate didn’t amass this power overnight, it took decades. If you look at the root problem of the daily issues we face from wasteful spending, to out of control federal agencies, to just about every institution that has become corrupted -including the DOJ and FBI- what you will note is the continued re-emergence of the Senate as a complicit and enabling body.
There is a way, a constitutional outline, for the Senate to be completely reset; and a process where We The People take back control. I call that solution the “one ring” approach, because it crushes the corrupt political system in the same way that Frodo throwing the ring into the fire of Mount Doom destroyed the evil emanating from the Eye of Sauron. [Lord of The Rings metaphor]
However, before walking through that process, it is critical to remind ourselves of the specific issues that have been created. As you read or re-read this lengthy outline, keep the issues of the Senate in the back of your mind, and notice them when they appear.
It is not my intent to outline the entire history of how we got to this place where the intelligence community now acts as the superseding Fourth Branch of government. Such an effort would be exhausting and likely take our discussion away from understanding the current dynamic.
History provided enough warnings from Dwight D Eisenhower (military), to John F Kennedy (CIA), to Richard Nixon (FBI), to all modern versions of warnings and frustrations from HPSCI Devin Nunes and ODNI Ric Grenell. None of those prior reference points are invalid, and all documented outlines of historic reference are likely true and accurate. However, a generational review is not useful, the reference impacting us ‘right now‘ gets lost.
Instead, we pick up the expansive and weaponized intelligence system as it manifests after 9/11/01, and my goal is to highlight how the modern version of the total intelligence apparatus has now metastasized into a Fourth Branch of government. It is this superseding branch that now touches and influences every facet of our life.
If we take the modern construct, originating at the speed of technological change, we can also see how the oversight or “check/balance” in our system of government became functionally obsolescent.
After many years of granular research about the intelligence apparatus inside our government, in the summer of 2020 I visited Washington DC to ask specific questions. My goal was to go where the influence agents within government actually operate, and to discover the people deep inside the institutions no-one elected and few people pay attention to.
It was during this process when I discovered how information is purposefully put into containment silos; essentially a formal process to block the flow of information between agencies, and between the original branches. While frustrating to discover, the silo effect was important because understanding the communication between networks leads to our ability to reconcile conflict between what we perceive and what’s actually taking place.
After days of research and meetings in DC during 2020; amid a town that was serendipitously shut down due to COVID-19; I found a letter slid under the door of my room in a nearly empty hotel with an introduction of sorts. The subsequent discussions were perhaps the most important. After many hours of specific questions and answers on specific examples, I realized why our nation is in this mess. That is when I discovered the fourth and superseding branch of government, the Intelligence Branch.
I am going to explain how the Intelligence Branch works: (1) to control every other branch of government; (2) how it functions as an entirely independent branch of government with no oversight; (3) how and why it was created to be independent from oversight; (4) what is the current mission of the IC Branch, and most importantly (5) who operates it.
The Intelligence Branch is an independent functioning branch of government, it is no longer a subsidiary set of agencies within the executive branch as most would think. To understand the Intelligence Branch, we need to drop the elementary school civics class lessons about three coequal branches of government, and replace that outlook with the modern system that created itself.
The Intelligence Branch functions much like the State Dept, through a unique set of public-private partnerships that support it. Big Tech industry collaboration with intelligence operatives is part of that functioning; almost like an NGO. However, the process is much more important than most think. In this problematic perspective of a corrupt system of government, the process is the flaw – not the outcome.
There are people making decisions inside this little-known, unregulated and out-of-control branch of government that impact every facet of our lives.
None of the people operating deep inside the Intelligence Branch were elected; and our elected representative House members genuinely do not know how the system works. I assert this position affirmatively, because I have talked to House and Senate staffers, including the chiefs of staff for multiple House & Senate committee seats. They are not malicious people; however, they are genuinely clueless of things that happen outside their silo. That is part of the purpose of me explaining it, with examples, in full detail and sunlight.
We begin….
In April of 2016, the FBI launched a counterintelligence operation against presidential candidate Donald Trump. The questioning about that operation is what New York Representative Elise Stefanik cites in March of 2017, approximately 11 months later (First Two Minutes).
Things to note:
♦ Notice how FBI Director James Comey just matter-of-factly explains no one outside the DOJ was informed about the FBI operation. Why? Because that’s just the way things are done. His justification for unilateral operations was, “because of the sensitivity of the matter“, totally ignoring any constitutional or regulatory framework for oversight; because, well, quite simply, there isn’t any. The intelligence apparatus inside the DOJ/FBI can, and does, operate based on their own independent determinations of authority.
♦ Notice also how FBI Director Comey shares his perspective that informing the National Security Council (NSC) is the equivalent of notifying the White House. The FBI leadership expressly believe they bear no responsibility to brief the chief executive. As long as they tell some unknown, unelected, bureaucratic entity inside the NSC, their unwritten responsibility to inform the top of their institutional silo is complete. If the IC wants to carve out the Oval Office, they simply plant information inside the NSC and, from their perspective, their civic responsibility to follow checks-and-balances is complete. This is an intentional construct.
♦ Notice how Comey obfuscates notification to the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), by avoiding the fact James Clapper was the DNI from the outset of the counterintelligence operation throughout the remainder of Obama’s term. When I get deeper into the process, we will understand how the Intelligence Branch has intentionally used the creation of the DNI position (established post 9/11/01) as a method to avoid oversight, not enhance it. Keeping an oblivious doofus like James Clapper in position held strategic value [Doofus Reminder HERE].
Also, watch this. Another reminder… and it is likely many readers have forgotten… and watch closely:
https://youtu.be/HTry_MiFA2Q
.
That video of James Comey being questioned by Elise Stefanik was the first example given to me by someone who knew the background of everything that was taking place preceding that March 20, 2017, hearing. That FBI reference point is a key to understand how the Intelligence Branch operates with unilateral authority above congress (legislative branch), above the White House (executive branch), and even above the court system (judicial branch).
The video of James Clapper highlights how the ODNI position (created with good national security intention) ended up becoming the fulcrum for modern weaponization, and is now an office manipulated by agencies with a vested interest in retaining power. The Intelligence Branch holds power over the ODNI through their influence and partnership with the body that authorizes the power within it, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI).
Factually, the modern intelligence apparatus uses checks and balances in their favor. The checks create silos of proprietary information, classified information, vaults of information that work around oversight issues. The silos are part of the problem.
Ironically, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence was created in the aftermath of 9/11/01 expressly to eliminate the silos of information which they felt led to a domestic terrorist attack that could have been prevented. The ODNI was created specifically upon the recommendation of the 9/11 commission.
The intent was to create a central hub of intelligence information, inside the executive branch, where the CIA, NSA, DoD, DoS, and DIA could deposit their unique intelligence products, and a repository would be created so that domestic intelligence operations, like the DOJ and FBI could access them when needed to analyze threats to the U.S. This, they hoped, would ensure the obvious flags missed in the 9/11 attacks would not be missed again.
The DNI office created a problem for those who operate in the shadows of proprietary information. You’ll see how it was critical to install a person uniquely skilled in being an idiot, James Clapper, into that willfully blind role while intelligence operatives worked around the office to assemble the Intelligence Branch of government.
• The last federal budget that flowed through the traditional budgetary process was signed into law in September of 2007 for fiscal year 2008 by George W Bush. Every budget since then has been a fragmented process of continuing resolutions and individual spending bills.
Why does this matter? Because many people think defunding the Intelligence Community is a solution; it is not…. at least, not yet. Worse yet, the corrupt divisions deep inside the U.S. intelligence system can now fund themselves from multinational private sector partnerships (banks, corporations and foreign entities).
• When Democrats took over the House of Representatives in January 2007, they took office with a plan. Nancy Pelosi became Speaker, and Democrats controlled the Senate where Harry Reid was Majority Leader. Barack Obama was a junior senator from Illinois.
Pelosi and Reid intentionally did not advance a budget in 2008 (for fiscal year 2009), because their plan included installing Barack Obama (and all that came with him) with an open checkbook made even more lucrative by a worsening financial crisis and a process called baseline budgeting. Baseline budgeting means the prior fiscal year budget is accepted as the starting point for the next year budget. All previous expenditures are baked into the cake within baseline budgeting.
Massive bailouts preceded Obama’s installation due to a U.S. economic collapse, and massive bailouts continued after his installation. This is the ‘never let a crisis go to waste’ aspect. TARP (Troubled Asset Recovery Program), auto-bailouts (GM), and the massive stimulus spending bill, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA, ie. those shovel ready jobs) were all part of the non budget spending. The federal reserve assisted with Quantitative Easing (QE1 and QE2) as congress passed various Porkulous spending bills further spending and replacing the formal budget process.
Note: There has never been a budget passed in the normal/traditional process since September of 2007.
• While Obama’s radical ‘transformation‘ was triggered across a broad range of government institutions, simultaneously spending on the U.S. military was cut, but spending on the intelligence apparatus expanded. We were all distracted by Obamacare, and the Republican party wanted to keep us that way. However, in the background there was a process of transformation taking place that included very specific action by Eric Holder and targeted effort toward the newest executive agency the ODNI.
The people behind Obama, those same people now behind Joe Biden, knew from years of strategic planning that ‘radical transformation’ would require control over specific elements inside the U.S. government. Eric Holder played a key role in his position as U.S. Attorney General in the DOJ.
AG Holder recruited ideologically aligned political operatives who were aware of the larger institutional objectives. One of those objectives was weaponizing the DOJ-National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) a division inside the DOJ that had no inspector general oversight. For most people, the DOJ-NSD weaponization surfaced with a hindsight awakening of the DOJ-NSD targeting candidate Donald Trump many years later. However, by then the Holder crew had executed almost eight full years of background work.
• The second larger Obama/Holder objective was control over the FBI. Why was that important? Because the FBI does the domestic investigative work on anyone who needs or holds a security clearance. The removal of security clearances could be used as a filter to further build the internal ideological army they were assembling. Additionally, with new power in the ODNI created as a downstream consequence of the Patriot Act, new protocols for U.S. security clearances were easy to justify.
Carefully selecting fellow ideological travelers was facilitated by this filtration within the security clearance process. How does that issue later manifest? Just look around at how politicized every intelligence agency has become, specifically including the FBI.
• At the exact same time this new background security clearance process was ongoing, again everyone distracted by the fight over Obamacare, inside the Department of State (Secretary Hillary Clinton) a political alignment making room for the next phase was being assembled. Names like Samantha Power, Susan Rice and Hillary Clinton were familiar on television while Lisa Monaco worked as a legal liaison between the Obama White House and Clinton State Department.
Through the Dept of State (DoS), the intelligence apparatus began working on their first steps to align Big Tech with a larger domestic institutional objective. Those of you who remember the “Arab Spring”, some say “Islamist Spring”, will remember it was triggered by Barack Obama’s speech in Cairo – his first foreign trip. The State Department worked with grassroots organizers (mostly Muslim Brotherhood) in Egypt, Syria, Bahrain, Qatar and Libya. Obama leaned heavily on the organizational network of Turkish President Recep Erdogan for contacts and support.
Why does this aspect matter to us? Well, you might remember how much effort the Obama administration put into recruiting Facebook and Twitter as resources for the various mid-east rebellions the White House and DoS supported. This was the point of modern merge between the U.S. intelligence community and Big Tech social media.
In many ways the coordinated political outcomes in Libya and Egypt were the beta test for the coordinated domestic political outcomes we saw in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. The U.S. intelligence community working with social media platforms and political operatives.
Overlaying all of that background activity was also a new alignment of the Obama-era intelligence apparatus with ideological federal “contractors“. Where does this contractor activity manifest? In the FISA Court opinion of Rosemary Collyer who cited the “interagency memorandum of understanding”, or MOU.
Hopefully, you can see a small part of how tentacled the system to organize/weaponize the intelligence apparatus was. None of this was accidental, all of this was by design and the United States Senate was responsible for intentionally allowing most of this to take place.
That’s the 30,000/ft level backdrop history of what was happening as the modern IC was created. Next, we will go into how all these various intelligence networks began working in unison and how they currently control all of the other DC institutions under them; including how they can carve out the President from knowing their activity.
♦ When Barack Obama was installed in January 2009, the Democrats held a 60 seat majority in the U.S. Senate. As the people behind the Obama installation began executing their longer-term plan, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence was a tool to create the Intelligence Branch; it was not an unintentional series of events.
When Obama was installed, Dianne Feinstein was the Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), and Democrat operative Dan Jones was her lead staffer. Feinstein was completely controlled by those around her including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The CIA was in the process of turning over personnel following the Bush era, and as a result of a massive multi-year narrative of diminished credibility (Iraq WMD), a deep purge was underway. Obama/Holder were in the process of shifting intelligence alignment and the intensely political Democrat Leader Harry Reid was a key participant.
THE TRAP – Many people say that congress is the solution to eliminating the fourth and superseding branch of government, The Intelligence Branch. This is an exercise in futility because the legislative branch, specifically the SSCI, facilitated the creation of the Intelligence Branch. The SSCI cannot put the genie they created back in the bottle without admitting they too are corrupt; and the background story of their corruption is way too intense to be exposed now.
Every member of the SSCI is compromised in some controlling manner. Those Senators who disliked the control over them; specifically disliked because the risk of sunlight was tenuous and, well, possible; have either left completely or stepped down from the committee. None of the SSCI members past or present would ever contemplate saying openly what their tenure involved.
[Note: You might remember when Vice-Chairman Mark Warner’s text messages surfaced there was a controlled Republican SSCI member who came to his defense in February of 2018. It was not accidental that exact Senator later became the chair of the SSCI himself. That Republican Senator was Marco Rubio, now vice-chair since the Senate re-flipped back to the optics of Democrat control in 2021.]
All of President Obama’s 2009 intelligence appointments required confirmation from the Senate. The nominees had to first pass through the Democrat controlled SSCI, and then to a full senate vote where Democrats held a 60 vote majority. Essentially, Obama got everyone he wanted in place easily. Rahm Emmanuel was Obama’s chief of staff and Valerie Jarrett was senior advisor.
Tim Geithner was Treasury Secretary in 2010 when the joint DOJ/FBI and IRS operation to target the Tea Party took place after the mid-term “shellacking” caused by Obamacare backlash. Mitch McConnell was minority leader in the Senate but supported the targeting of the Tea Party as his senate colleagues were getting primaried by an angry and effective grassroots campaign. McConnell’s friend Senator Bob Bennett getting beaten in Utah was the final straw.
Dirty Harry and Mitch McConnell saw the TEA Party through the same prism. The TEA Party took Kennedy’s seat in Massachusetts (Scott Brown); Sharon Angle was about to take out Harry Reid in Nevada; Arlen Spector was taken down in Pennsylvania; Senator Robert Byrd died; Senator Lisa Murkowski lost her primary to Joe Miller in Alaska; McConnell’s nominee Mike Castle lost to Christine O’Donnell in Delaware; Rand Paul won in Kentucky. This is the background. The peasants were revolting…. and visibly angry Mitch McConnell desperately made a deal with the devil to protect himself.
In many ways the TEA Party movement was/is very similar to the MAGA movement. The difference in 2010 was the absence of a head of the movement, but in 2015 Donald Trump became that head figure who benefited from the TEA Party energy. Trump came into office in 2017 with the same congressional opposition as the successful TEA Party candidates in 2011.
Republicans took control of the Senate following the 2014 mid-terms. Republicans took control of the SSCI in January 2015. Senator Richard Burr became chairman of the SSCI and Dianne Feinstein shifted to Vice-Chair. Dirty Harry Reid left the Senate, and Mitch McConnell took power again.
Republicans were in control of the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2015 when the Intelligence Branch operation against candidate Donald Trump was underway. [Feinstein’s staffer, Dan Jones, left the SSCI so he could act as a liaison and political operative between private-sector efforts (Fusion GPS, Chris Steele) and the SSCI.] The SSCI was a participant in that Fusion-GPS/Chris Steele operation, and as a direct consequence Republicans were inherently tied to the problem with President Trump taking office in January of 2017. Indiana Republican Senator Dan Coats was a member of the SSCI.
Bottom line…. When it came to the intelligence system targeting Donald Trump during the 2015/2016 primary, the GOP was just as much at risk as their Democrat counterparts.
When Trump unexpectedly won the 2016 election, the SSCI was shocked more than most. They knew countermeasures would need to be deployed to protect themselves from any exposure of their intelligence conduct. Dianne Feinstein stepped down, and Senator Mark Warner was elevated to Vice-Chairman.
Indiana’s own Mike Pence, now Vice-President, recommended fellow Hoosier, SSCI Senator Dan Coats, to become President Trump’s Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). [Apply hindsight here]
• To give an idea of the Intelligence Branch power dynamic, remind yourself how House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), Chairman Devin Nunes, tried to get access to the DOJ/FBI records of the FISA application used against the Trump campaign via Carter Page. Remember Nunes only saw a portion of the FISA trail from his review of a Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) previously given to President Obama. Chairman Nunes had to review the PDB at the White House SCIF due to compartmented intelligence, another example of the silo benefit.
Remember, the massive stonewalling and blocking of the DOJ/FBI toward Nunes? Remember the back and forth battle over declassification surrounding the Nunes memo? Remember, after Nunes went directly to House Speaker Paul Ryan for help (didn’t get any), the DOJ only permitted two members from each party within the HPSCI to review the documents, and only at the DOJ offices of main justice?
Contrast that amount of House Intel Committee railroading and blocking by intelligence operatives in the DOJ, DOJ-NSD and FBI, with the simple request by Senate Intelligence Vice-Chair Mark Warner asking to see the Carter Page FISA application and immediately a copy being delivered to him on March 17th 2017.
Can you see which intelligence committee is aligned with the deepest part of the deep state?
Oh, how quickly we forget:
The contrast of ideological alignment between the House, Senate and Intelligence Branch is crystal clear when viewed through the prism of cooperation. You can see which legislative committee holds the power and support of the Intelligence Branch. The Senate Intel Committee facilitates the corrupt existence of the IC Branch, so the IC Branch only cooperates with the Senate Intel Committee. It really is that simple.
• The Intelligence Branch carefully selects its own members by controlling how security clearances are investigated and allowed (FBI). The Intelligence Branch also uses compartmentalization of intelligence as a way to keep each agency, and each downstream branch of government (executive, legislative and judicial), at arms length as a method to stop anyone from seeing the larger picture of their activity. I call this the “silo effect“, and it is done by design.
I have looked at stunned faces when I presented declassified silo product from one agency to the silo customers of another. You would be astonished at what they don’t know because it is not in their ‘silo’.
Through the advise and consent rules, the Intelligence Branch uses the SSCI to keep out people they consider dangerous to their ongoing operations. Any appointee to the intelligence community must first pass through the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, before they get a full Senate vote. If the SSCI rejects the candidate, they simply refuse to take up the nomination. The president is then blocked from that appointment. This is what happened with President Trump over-and-over again.
• Additionally, the Intelligence Branch protects itself, and its facilitating allies through the formal classification process. The Intelligence Branch gets to decide unilaterally what information will be released and what information will be kept secret. There is no entity outside the Intelligence Branch, and yes that includes the President of the United States, who can supersede the classification authority of the Intelligence Branch. {Go Deep} and {Go Deep} This is something 99.9% of the people on our side get totally and frustratingly wrong.
No-one can declassify, or make public, anything the Intelligence Branch will not agree to. Doubt this?… ask Ric Grenell, John Ratcliffe, or even President Trump himself.
• The classification process is determined inside the Intelligence Branch, all by themselves. They get to choose what rank of classification exists on any work-product they create; and they get to decide what the classification status is of any work-product that is created by anyone else. The Intelligence Branch has full control over what is considered classified information and what is not. The Intelligence Branch defines what is a “national security interest” and what is not. A great technique for hiding fingerprints of corrupt and illegal activity.
[For familiar reference see the redactions to Lisa Page and Peter Strzok text messages. The Intelligence Branch does all redactions.]
• Similarly the declassification process is a request by an agency, even a traditionally superior agency like the President of the United States, to the Intelligence Branch asking for them to release the information. The Intelligence Branch again holds full unilateral control. If the head of the CIA refuses to comply with the declassification instruction of the President, what can the President do except fire him/her? {Again, GO DEEP} How does the President replace the non-compliant cabinet member? They have to go through the SSCI confirmation. See the problem?
Yes, there are ways to break up the Intelligence Branch, but they do not start with any congressional effort. As you can see above, the process is the flaw – not the solution. Most conservative pundits have their emphasis on the wrong syllable. Their cornerstone is false.
For their own self-preservation; the Intelligence Branch has been interfering in our elections for years. The way to tear this apart begins with STATE LEVEL election reform that blocks the legislative branch from coordinating with the intelligence branch.
The extreme federalism approach is critical, and also explains why Joe Biden has instructed Attorney General Merrick Garland to use the full power of the DOJ to stop state-level election reform efforts. The worry of successful state-level election control is also why the Intelligence Branch now needs to support the federal takeover of elections.
Our elections have been usurped by the Intelligence Branch. Start with honest elections and we will see just how much Democrat AND Republican corruption is dependent on manipulated election results. Start at the state level. Start there…. everything else is downstream.
♦ People want examples, reference points for work the Intelligence Branch conducts, specifically how it protects itself. Here is an example: Julian Assange.
Yes, the history of the U.S. national security apparatus goes back decades; however, the weaponization of that apparatus, the creation of an apex branch of government, the Intelligence Branch, originated –as we currently feel it– under President Barack Obama.
Obama took the foundational tools created by Bill Clinton and George W Bush and used the intelligence system architecture to create a weapon for use in his fundamental transformation. An alliance of ideologues within government (intel community) and the private sector (big tech and finance) was assembled, and the largest government weapon was created. Think about this every time you take your shoes off at an airport.
After the weapon was assembled and tested (Arab Spring), the legislative branch was enjoined under the auspices of a common enemy, Donald J. Trump, an outsider who was a risk to every entity in the institutional construct of Washington DC. Trillions were at stake, and years of affluence and influence were at risk as the unholy alliance was put together.
To understand the risk that Julian Assange represented to U.S. Intelligence Branch interests, it is important to understand just how extensive the operations of the FBI/CIA were in 2016.
It is within the network of foreign and domestic intel operations where Intelligence Branch political tool, FBI Agent Peter Strzok, was working as a bridge between the CIA and FBI counterintelligence operations.
By now, people are familiar with the construct of CIA operations involving Joseph Mifsud, the Maltese professor generally identified as a western intelligence operative who was tasked by the FBI/CIA to run an operation against Trump campaign official George Papadopoulos in both Italy (Rome) and London. {Go Deep}
In a similar fashion, the FBI tasked U.S. intelligence asset Stefan Halper to target another Trump campaign official, Carter Page. Under the auspices of being a Cambridge Professor, Stefan Halper also targeted General Michael Flynn. Additionally, using assistance from a female FBI agent under the false name Azra Turk, Halper also targeted Papadopoulos.
The initial operations to target Flynn, Papadopoulos and Page were all based overseas. This seemingly makes the CIA exploitation of the assets and the targets much easier.
HPSCI Ranking Member Devin Nunes outlined how very specific exculpatory evidence was known to the FBI and yet withheld from the FISA application used against Carter Page that also mentions George Papadopoulos. The FBI also fabricated information in the FISA.
However, there is an aspect to the domestic U.S. operation that also bears the fingerprints of the international intelligence apparatus; only this time due to the restrictive laws on targets inside the U.S. the CIA aspect is less prominent. This is where FBI Agent Peter Strzok working for both agencies was important.
Remember, it’s clear in the text messages Strzok had a working relationship with what he called their “sister agency”, the CIA. Additionally, former CIA Director John Brennan has admitted Strzok helped write the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) which outlines the Russia narrative; and Peter Strzok wrote the July 31st, 2016, “Electronic Communication” that originated FBI operation “Crossfire Hurricane.” Strzok immediately used that EC to travel to London to debrief allied intelligence officials connected to the Australian Ambassador to the U.K, Alexander Downer.
In short, Peter Strzok acted as a bridge between the CIA and the FBI. The perfect type of FBI career agent for the Intelligence Branch and CIA Director John Brennan to utilize.
Fusion-GPS founder Glenn Simpson hired CIA Open Source analyst Nellie Ohr toward the end of 2015; at appropriately the same time as “FBI Contractors” were identified exploiting the NSA database and extracting information on a specific set of U.S. persons, the 2015 GOP candidates for President.
It was also Fusion-GPS founder Glenn Simpson who was domestically tasked with a Russian lobbyist named Natalia Veselnitskaya. A little reported Russian Deputy Attorney General named Saak Albertovich Karapetyan was working double-agents for the CIA and Kremlin. Karapetyan was directing the foreign operations of Natalia Veselnitskaya, and Glenn Simpson was organizing her inside the U.S.
Glenn Simpson managed Veselnitskaya through the 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Donald Trump Jr. However, once the CIA/Fusion-GPS operation using Veselnitskaya started to unravel with public reporting… back in Russia, Deputy AG Karapetyan died in a helicopter crash.
Simultaneously timed in late 2015 through mid 2016, there was a domestic FBI operation using a young Russian named Maria Butina tasked to run up against republican presidential candidates. According to Patrick Byrne, Butina’s private sector handler [NOTE: remember, the public-private sector partnership], it was FBI agent Peter Strzok who was giving Patrick Byrne the instructions on where to send Butina. {Go Deep}
All of this context outlines the extent to which the FBI/CIA was openly involved in constructing a political operation that eventually settled upon anyone in candidate Donald Trump’s orbit. The international operations of the Intelligence Branch were directed by the FBI/CIA; and the domestic operations were coordinated by Peter Strzok operating with a foot in both agencies. [Strzok gets CIA service coin]
Recap: ♦Mifsud tasked against Papadopoulos (CIA). ♦Halper tasked against Flynn (CIA), Page (CIA), and Papadopoulos (CIA). ♦Azra Turk, pretending to be Halper asst., tasked against Papadopoulos (FBI). ♦Veselnitskaya tasked against Donald Trump Jr. (CIA, Fusion-GPS). ♦Butina tasked against Donald Trump Jr. (FBI). All of these activities were coordinated.
Additionally, Christopher Steele was a British intelligence officer, hired by Fusion-GPS to assemble and launder fraudulent intelligence information within his dossier. And we cannot forget Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch, who was recruited by Asst. FBI Director Andrew McCabe to participate in running an operation against the Trump campaign and create the impression of Russian involvement. However, Deripaska refused to participate.
All of this foreign and domestic engagement was directly controlled by collaborating U.S. intelligence agencies from inside the Intelligence Branch. And all of this coordinated activity was intended to give a specific Russia influence/interference impression.
♦ The key point of all that background context is to see how committed the Intelligence Branch was to the constructed narrative of Russia interfering with the 2016 election. The CIA, FBI, and by extension the DOJ and DOJ-NSD, put a hell of a lot of work into it.
We also know that John Durham looked at the construct of the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA); and talked to CIA analysts who participated in the construct of the January 2017 report that bolstered the false appearance of Russian interference in the 2016 election. This is important because it ties in to the next part that involves Julian Assange and Wikileaks.
On April 11th, 2019, the Julian Assange indictment was unsealed in the EDVA. From the indictment we discover it was under seal since March 6th, 2018:
On Tuesday April 15th, more investigative material was released. Again, note the dates: Grand Jury, *December of 2017* This means FBI investigation prior to….
The FBI investigation took place prior to December 2017, and it was coordinated through the Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA) where Dana Boente was U.S. Attorney at the time. The grand jury indictment was sealed from March of 2018 until after Mueller completed his investigation, April 2019.
Why the delay?
What was the DOJ waiting for?
Here’s where it gets interesting….
The FBI submission to the Grand Jury in December of 2017 was four months after Congressman Dana Rohrabacher talked to Julian Assange in August of 2017: “Assange told a U.S. Congressman … he can prove the leaked Democratic Party documents … did not come from Russia.”
(August 2017, The Hill Via John Solomon) Julian Assange told a U.S. congressman on Tuesday he can prove the leaked Democratic Party documents he published during last year’s election did not come from Russia and promised additional helpful information about the leaks in the near future.
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a California Republican who is friendly to Russia and chairs an important House subcommittee on Eurasia policy, became the first American congressman to meet with Assange during a three-hour private gathering at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where the WikiLeaks founder has been holed up for years.
Rohrabacher recounted his conversation with Assange to The Hill.
“Our three-hour meeting covered a wide array of issues, including the WikiLeaks exposure of the DNC [Democratic National Committee] emails during last year’s presidential election,” Rohrabacher said, “Julian emphatically stated that the Russians were not involved in the hacking or disclosure of those emails.”
Pressed for more detail on the source of the documents, Rohrabacher said he had information to share privately with President Trump. (read more)
Knowing how much effort the Intelligence Branch put into the false Russia collusion-conspiracy narrative, it would make sense for the FBI to take keen interest after this August 2017 meeting between Rohrabacher and Assange, monitor all activity, and why the FBI would quickly gather specific evidence (related to Wikileaks and Bradley Manning) for a grand jury by December 2017.
Within three months of the EDVA grand jury, the DOJ generated an indictment and sealed it in March 2018.
The DOJ sat on the indictment while the Mueller/Weissmann probe was ongoing.
As soon as the Mueller/Weissmann probe ended, on April 11th, 2019, a planned and coordinated effort between the U.K. and U.S. was executed; Julian Assange was forcibly arrested and removed from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, and the EDVA indictment was unsealed (link).
As a person who has researched this fiasco; including the ridiculously false 2016 Russian hacking/interference narrative: “17 intelligence agencies”, Joint Analysis Report (JAR) needed for Obama’s anti-Russia narrative in December ’16; and then a month later the ridiculously political Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) in January ’17; this timing against Assange is too coincidental.
It doesn’t take a deep researcher to see the aligned Deep State motive to control Julian Assange. The Weissmann/Mueller report was dependent on Russia cybercrimes for justification, and that narrative was contingent on the Russia DNC hack story which Julian Assange disputes.
♦ This is critical. The Weissmann/Mueller report contains claims that Russia hacked the DNC servers as the central element to the Russia interference narrative in the U.S. election. This claim is directly disputed by WikiLeaks and Julian Assange, as outlined during the Dana Rohrabacher interview, and by Julian Assange on-the-record statements.
The predicate for Robert Mueller’s investigation was specifically due to Russian interference in the 2016 election.
The fulcrum for this Russia interference claim is the intelligence community assessment; and the only factual evidence claimed within the ICA is that Russia hacked the DNC servers; a claim only made possible by relying on forensic computer analysis from Crowdstrike, a DNC and FBI contractor.
The CIA holds a self-interest in upholding the Russian hacking claim; the FBI holds an interest in maintaining that claim; the U.S. media hold an interest in maintaining that claim. All of the foreign countries whose intelligence apparatus participated with Brennan and Strzok also have a self-interest in maintaining that Russia hacking and interference narrative.
Julian Assange is the only person with direct knowledge of how Wikileaks gained custody of the DNC emails; and Assange has claimed he has evidence it was not from a hack.
This “Russian hacking” claim was ultimately important to the CIA, FBI, DOJ, ODNI and U.K intelligence apparatus, it forms the corner of their justification. With that level of importance, well, right there is the obvious motive to shut Julian Assange down as soon as intelligence officials knew the Weissmann/Mueller report was going to be public.
…. and that’s exactly what they did. They threw a bag over Assange.
♦ COLLAPSED OVERSIGHT – The modern system to ‘check’ the executive branch was the creation of the legislative “Gang of Eight,” a legislative oversight mechanism intended to provide a bridge of oversight between the authority of the intelligence community within the executive branch.
The Go8 construct was designed to allow the President authority to carry out intelligence operations and provide the most sensitive notifications to a select group within Congress.
The Go8 oversight is directed to the position, not the person, and consists of: (1) The Speaker of the House; (2) The Minority Leader of the House; (3) The Chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, HPSCI; (4) The Ranking Member (minority) of the HPSCI; (5) The Leader of the Senate; (6) The Minority Leader of the Senate; (7) The Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, SSCI; and finally (8) the Vice-Chair of the SSCI.
Example: When the Chief Executive (the President) initiates an intelligence operation on behalf of the United States, the President triggers a “finding memo.” In essence, the instruction to the intel agency or agencies is to authorize a covert operation. When that process takes place, the Go8 are the first people notified. Depending on the sensitivity of the operation, sometimes the G08 are notified immediately after the operation is conducted. The notification can be a phone call or an in-person briefing.
Because of the sensitivity of their intelligence information, the Gang of Eight hold security clearances that permit them to receive and review all intelligence operations. The intelligence community are also responsible for briefing the Go8 with the same information they use to brief the President.
~ 2021 Gang of Eight ~
The Go8 design is intended to put intelligence oversight upon both political parties in Congress; it is designed that way by informing the minority leaders of both the House and Senate as well as the ranking minority members of the SSCI and HPSCI. Under the concept, the President cannot conduct an intelligence operation; and the intelligence community cannot carry out intelligence gathering operations without the majority and minority parties knowing about it.
The modern design of this oversight system was done to keep rogue and/or corrupt intelligence operations from happening. However, as we shared in the preview to this entire discussion, the process was usurped during the Obama era. {GO DEEP}
Former FBI Director James Comey openly admitted to Congress on March 20, 2017, that the FBI, FBI Counterintelligence Division, DOJ and DOJ-National Security Division, together with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the CIA, had been conducting independent investigations of Donald Trump for over a year without informing the Go8. Comey justified the lack of informing Go8 oversight by saying, “because of the sensitivity of the matter.”
Stupidly, Congress never pressed James Comey on that issue. The arrogance was astounding, and the acceptance by Congress was infuriating. However, that specific example highlighted just how politically corrupt the system had become. In essence, Team Obama usurped the entire design of congressional oversight…. and Congress just brushed it off.
Keep in mind, Comey did not say the White House was unaware; in fact he said exactly the opposite, he said “the White House was informed through the National Security Council,” (the NSC). The implication, the very direct and specific implication; the unavoidable implication and James Comey admission that everyone just brushed aside; was that President Obama’s National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, was totally informed of the intelligence operation(s) against Donald Trump. After all, the NSC reports to the National Security Advisor.
Does the January 20, 2017, Susan Rice memo look different now?
Again, no-one saw the immediate issue. What Comey just described on that March day in 2017 was the total usurpation of the entire reason the Gang of Eight exists; to eliminate the potential for political weaponization of the Intelligence Community by the executive branch. The G08 notifications to the majority and minority are specifically designed to make sure what James Comey admitted to doing was never supposed to happen.
Team Obama carried out a political operation using the intelligence community and the checks-and-balances in the system were intentionally usurped. This is an indisputable fact.
Worse still, the entire legislative branch of Congress, which specifically includes the Republicans that now controlled the House and Senate, did nothing. They just ignored what was admitted. The usurpation was willfully ignored. The mechanism of the G08 was bypassed without a twitch of condemnation or investigation…. because the common enemy was Donald Trump.
This example highlights the collapse of the system. Obama, the executive branch, collapsed the system by usurping the process; in essence the process became the bigger issue and the lack of immediate legislative branch reaction became evidence of open acceptance. The outcomes of the usurpation played out over the next four years, Donald J. Trump was kneecapped and lost his presidency because of it. However, the bigger issue of the collapse still exists.
The downstream consequence of the legislative branch accepting the executive branch usurpation meant both intelligence committees were compromised. Additionally, the leadership of both the House and Senate were complicit. Think about this carefully. The legislative branch allowance of the intelligence usurpation meant the legislative branch was now subservient to the Intelligence Branch.
That’s where we are.
Right now.
That’s where we are.
Term-3 Obama is now back in the White House with Joe Biden.
Term-1 and Term-2 Obama usurped the ‘check and balance‘ within the system and weaponized the intelligence apparatus. During Trump’s term that weaponization was covered up by a compliant congress, and not a single member of the oversight called it out. Now, Term-3 Obama steps back-in to continue the cover-up and continue the weaponization.
Hopefully, you can now see the scale of the problem that surrounds us with specific citation for what has taken place. What I just explained to you above is not conspiracy theory, it is admitted fact that anyone can look upon. Yet….
Have you seen this mentioned anywhere? Have you seen this called out by anyone in Congress? Have you seen anyone in media (ally or adversary) call this out? Have you seen any member of the judicial branch stand up and say wait, what is taking place is not okay? Have you seen a single candidate for elected office point this out? Have you seen anyone advising a candidate point this out?
This is our current status. It is not deniable. The truth exists regardless of our comfort.
Not a single person in power will say openly what has taken place. They are scared of the Fourth Branch. The evidence of what has taken place is right there in front of our face. The words, actions and activities of those who participated in this process are not deniable.
There are only two members of the Gang of Eight who have existed in place from January 2007 (the real beginning of Obama’s term, two years before he took office when the Congress flipped). Only two members of the G08 have been consistently in place from January of 2007 to right now, today. All the others came and went but two members of the Gang of Eight have been part of that failed and collapsed oversight throughout the past 15 years, Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell.
♦ TECHNOLOGY – On a global scale – the modern intelligence gathering networks are now dependent on data collection to execute their intelligence missions. In the digital age, nations have been executing various methods to gather that data. Digital surveillance has replaced other methods of interception. Those surveillance efforts have resulted in a coalescing of regional data networks based on historic multi-national relationships.
We have a recent frame of reference for the “U.S. data collection network” within the NSA. Through the allied process the Five Eyes nations all rely on the NSA surveillance database (U.K, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and U.S.) The NSA database provides the digital baseline for intelligence operations in defense of our allies. The portals into the NSA database are essentially an assembly of allies in like-minded ideological connection to the United States.
Unfortunately, there have been some revelations about the NSA database being used to monitor our allies, like in the example of Germany and surveillance on Angela Merkel’s phone. As long as “the good guys” are operating honorably, allies of the United States can feel confident about having protection from the NSA surveillance of global digital data. We warn our friends if we detect something dangerous etc.
The U.S. has nodes on communication pipelines to intercept and extract data. We have also launched hundreds, perhaps thousands, of satellites to conduct surveillance and gather up data. All of this data is fed into the NSA database where it is monitored (presumably) as a national security mechanism, and in defense of our allies.
However, what about data collection or data networks that are outside the NSA database? What do our enemies do? The NSA database is just one intelligence operation of digital surveillance amid the entire world, and we do not allow access by adversaries we are monitoring. So what do they do? What do our allies do who might not trust the United States due to past inconsistencies, ie. the Middle-East?
The answers to those questions highlight other data collection networks. So a brief review of the major players is needed.
♦ CHINA – China operates their own database. They, like the NSA, scoop up data for their system. Like us, China launches satellites and deploys other electronic data collection methods to download into their database. This is why the issues of electronic devices manufactured in China becomes problematic. Part of the Chinese data collection system involves the use of spyware, hacking and extraction.
Issues with Chinese communication company Huawei take on an added dimension when you consider the goal of the Chinese government to conduct surveillance and assemble a network of data to compete with the United States via the NSA. Other Chinese methods of surveillance and data-collection are less subversive, as in the examples of TicTok and WeChat. These are Chinese social media companies that are scraping data just like the NSA scrapes data from Facebook, Twitter and other Silicon Valley tech companies. [ Remember, the Intelligence Branch is a public-private partnership. ]
♦ RUSSIA – It is very likely that Russia operates their own database. We know Russia launches satellites, just like China and the USA, for the same purposes. Russia is also very proficient at hacking into other databases and extracting information to store and utilize in their own network. The difference between the U.S., China and Russia is likely that Russia spends more time on the hacking aspect because they do not generate actual technology systems as rapidly as the U.S. and China.
The most recent database creation is an outcome of an ally having to take action because they cannot rely on the ideology of the United States remaining consistent as the administrations ping-pong based on ideology….
♦ SAUDI ARABIA – Yes, in 2016 we discovered that Saudi Arabia was now operating their own intelligence data-gathering operation. It would make sense, given the nature of the middle-east and the constant fluctuations in political support from the United States. It is a lesson the allied Arab community and Gulf Cooperation Council learned quickly when President Obama went to Cairo in 2009 and launched the Islamist Spring (Arab Spring) upon them.
I have no doubt the creation of the Saudi intelligence network was specifically because the Obama administration started supporting radical Islamists within the Muslim Brotherhood, and threw fuel on the fires of extremism all over the Arab world.
Think about it., What would you do if you were Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, Kuwait, the UAE, Jordan, Oman or Yemen and you knew the United States could just trigger an internal uprising of al-Qaeda, ISIS and the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood to seek your destruction?
Without a doubt, those urgent lessons from 2009, 2010, 2011 triggered the formation of the Arab Intelligence Network as a network to defend itself with consistency. They assembled the network and activated it in 2017 as pictured above.
♦ Israel – Along a similar outlook to the Arab network, no doubt Israel operates an independent data collection system as a method of protecting itself from ever-changing U.S. politics amid a region that is extremely hostile to its very existence. Like the others, Israel launches proprietary satellites, and we can be sure they use covert methods to gather electronic data just like the U.S. and China.
As we have recently seen in the Pegasus story, Israel creates spyware programs that are able to track and monitor cell phone communications of targets. The spyware would not work unless Israel had access to some network where the phone meta-data was actually stored. So yeah, it makes sense for Israel to operate an independent intelligence database.
♦ Summary: As we understand the United States Intelligence Branch of government as the superseding entity that controls the internal politics of our nation, we also must consider that multiple nations have the same issue. There are major intelligence networks around the world beside the NSA “Five-Eyes” database. China, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Israel all operate proprietary databases deploying the same tools and techniques for assembly.
The geopolitical conflict that has always existed has now shifted into a digital battle-space. The Intelligence Agencies from these regions are now operating as the backbone of the government that uses them, and has become dependent on them. [<- Reread that].
Once you accept the digital-era intelligence apparatus of China, Russia, Saudi-Arabia, The United States and Israel, are now the primary national security mechanisms for stabilization of government; then you accept the importance of those intelligence operations.
Once you understand how foundational those modern intelligence operations have become for the stability and continuity of those governments…… then you begin to understand just how the United States intelligence community became more important than the government that created it.
♦ Public Private Partnership – The modern Fourth Branch of government is only possible because of a Public-Private partnership with the intelligence apparatus. You do not have to take my word for it, the partnership is so brazen they have made public admissions.
The biggest names in Big Tech announced in June their partnership with the Five Eyes intelligence network, ultimately controlled by the NSA, to: (1) monitor all activity in their platforms; (2) identify extremist content; (3) look for expressions of Domestic Violent Extremism (DVE); and then, (4) put the content details into a database where the Five Eyes intelligence agencies (U.K., U.S., Australia, Canada, New Zealand) can access it.
Facebook, Twitter, Google and Microsoft are all partnering with the intelligence apparatus. It might be difficult to fathom how openly they admit this, but they do. Look at this sentence in the press release (emphasis mine):
[…] “The Group will use lists from intelligence-sharing group Five Eyes adding URLs and PDFs from more groups, including the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters and neo-Nazis.”
Think about that sentence structure very carefully. They are “adding to” the pre-existing list…. admitting the group (aka Big Tech) already have access to the intelligence-sharing database… and also admitting there is a pre-existing list created by the Five Eyes consortium.
Obviously, who and what is defined as “extremist content” will be determined by the Big Tech insiders themselves. This provides a gateway, another plausible deniability aspect, to cover the Intelligence Branch from any oversight.
When the Intelligence Branch within government wants to conduct surveillance and monitor American citizens, they run up against problems due to the Constitution of the United States. They get around those legal limitations by sub-contracting the intelligence gathering, the actual data-mining, and allowing outside parties (contractors) to have access to the central database.
The government cannot conduct electronic searches (4th amendment issue) without a warrant; however, private individuals can search and report back as long as they have access. What is being admitted is exactly that pre-existing partnership. The difference is that Big Tech will flag the content from within their platforms, and now a secondary database filled with the extracted information will be provided openly for the Intelligence Branch to exploit.
The volume of metadata captured by the NSA has always been a problem because of the filters needed to make the targeting useful. There is a lot of noise in collecting all data that makes the parts you really want to identify more difficult to capture. This new admission puts a new massive filtration system in the metadata that circumvents any privacy protections for individuals.
Previously, the Intelligence Branch worked around the constitutional and unlawful search issue by using resources that were not in the United States. A domestic U.S. agency, working on behalf of the U.S. government, cannot listen on your calls without a warrant. However, if the U.S. agency sub-contracts to say a Canadian group, or foreign ally, the privacy invasion is no longer legally restricted by U.S. law.
What was announced in June 2021 is an alarming admission of a prior relationship along with open intent to define their domestic political opposition as extremists.
July 26 (Reuters) – A counterterrorism organization formed by some of the biggest U.S. tech companies including Facebook (FB.O) and Microsoft (MSFT.O) is significantly expanding the types of extremist content shared between firms in a key database, aiming to crack down on material from white supremacists and far-right militias, the group told Reuters.
Until now, the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism’s (GIFCT) database has focused on videos and images from terrorist groups on a United Nations list and so has largely consisted of content from Islamist extremist organizations such as Islamic State, al Qaeda and the Taliban.
Over the next few months, the group will add attacker manifestos – often shared by sympathizers after white supremacist violence – and other publications and links flagged by U.N. initiative Tech Against Terrorism. It will use lists from intelligence-sharing group Five Eyes, adding URLs and PDFs from more groups, including the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters and neo-Nazis.
The firms, which include Twitter (TWTR.N) and Alphabet Inc’s (GOOGL.O) YouTube, share “hashes,” unique numerical representations of original pieces of content that have been removed from their services. Other platforms use these to identify the same content on their own sites in order to review or remove it. (read more)
The influence of the Intelligence Branch now reaches into our lives, our personal lives. In the decades before 9/11/01 the intelligence apparatus intersected with government, influenced government, and undoubtedly controlled many institutions with it. The legislative oversight function was weak and growing weaker, but it still existed and could have been used to keep the IC in check. However, after the events of 9/11/01 and the short-sighted legislative reactions opened the door to allow the surveillance state to be weaponized.
After the patriot act was triggered, not coincidentally only six weeks after 9/11, a slow and dangerous fuse was lit that ends with the intelligence apparatus being granted a massive amount of power. The problem with assembled power is always what happens when a Machiavellian network takes control over that power and begins the process to weaponize the tools for their own malicious benefit. That is exactly what the installation of Barack Obama was all about.
The Obama network took pre-assembled intelligence weapons we should never have allowed to be created, and turned those weapons into tools for his radical and fundamental change. The target was the essential fabric of our nation. Ultimately, this corrupt political process gave power to create the Fourth Branch of Government, the Intelligence Branch. From that perspective the fundamental change was successful.
♦ WHAT NOW? There is a way to stop the Intelligence Branch, but it requires some outside-the-box thinking and reliance on the Constitution as a tool to radically change one element within government. In the interim, we must remain focused on the three tiers that we need for success.
• Tier One is “tactical civics” at a local level. Engaged and active citizen participation at the community, city, town and hamlet level of society. This is what might be described as grassroots level. School Board level; City Council level; County Commissioner level.
• Tier Two is “extreme federalism” at a state level. Engaged and active citizen participation through your State House and State Senate representative. This is state level assembly and action demands upon the House, Senate and State Governor.
• Tier Three the challenge of “federal offices” on a national level. This is where CTH will present a singular action that can be taken upstream that allows the first two tiers to retake control over federal offices. This is where we throw the One Ring into the fire of Mordor. CTH has tested this approach with a multitude of political allies who accept and understand the issue. All eventually agreed with the solution at a federal level; it won’t be easy, but it will be possible.
I am confident that ultimately We The People will win. Details on the “One Ring” solution will come soon, perhaps as early as tomorrow; in the interim, tactical civics and extreme federalism are doable right now, in this 2022 election cycle.

“For the love of money is the root of all evil.”
Nobody works for free. We can start there.
When Lindsey Graham gets on the tube and screams he need money, he is announcing that he is for sale. Then everyone acts surprised when he becomes a turncoat.
We ignored the money for far too long and this is the result. Term limits fix nothing other than the speed in which you will be sold out. Stop kidding yourselves this is any kind of fix.
Facebook spent 300 plus million last election. Zuck owns congress for the simple reason nobody wants this kind of money going against them.
Unless you attack the money, nothing gets fixed. The Bible tells you money is the root of all evil. It is not like we do not know where to look.
The Bible tells you the love of money is the root of all evil (First Timothy 6:10).
Fixed.
Money in and of itself is neutral, inanimate. It is neither good nor bad.
Man’s love of money is the root. Man, not money, is the problem.
No…. The proper statement is “The love of money is the root of all KINDS of evil”. Big difference. Plenty of evil doesn’t involve money.
If you were not whistling past so fast you would have noted that in the first usage, I correctly stated “for the love…” I did not feel a need to put love in the second time. However since I did state the Bible and then misquoted, I will assign you a half point.
you really have a great sense of humor.
I assign you a full point
I thought is was Greed is the root of all evil
Greed can be any substance
More land
More women
More shoes
Lol
The $$$ is a key piece. The filthy rich politicians (e.g., obama) need to be confronted , investigated or whatever it takes to find out what part of America they sold in order to line their bank accounts. No one gets big bucks for speeches, books, art work etc. Most in D.C. are unwilling to question all the people getting very, very wealthy because most have their hands in the money jar.
Zuck is controlled by the IC. They created him and FB. Thinking that he controls them is beyond naive. Same is true for Google and Twitter.
Not exactly. The monopoly internet companies’ oligarchs realized that they have the power. China understands they have great influence over the oligarchs via mercantilism. You are watching a power struggle. In my opinion, the Chinese Communist Party and the monopoly oligarchs (including the banks) are fighting it out. The CIA outsourced too much, and technology outran them.
Ask yourself: Who stole the election?
Answer: Chiefly Mark Zuckerberg and David Plouffe.
Who benefitted?
China, Facebook, Obama’s crew, and the oligarchs.
It’s not just Lindsey Graham. It’s most famously in the senate, but the entire congress is for sale. It’s why the vast majority sought office in the first place, to prostitute themselves out to the highest bidder.
Money theft? Ha… how about Obama on his way to Billionaire status. He was worth 1.3 million upon entering the WH. Big earnings for a community organizer. He earned $400K for eight years and $200k Presidential pension, $400k for speaking events, $800k for Northern Trust and Carlyle Group, and $50m for his netflix deal. $15m for his book deals….
Solyndra, President Obama’s $80 billion clean-technology program … that and others.. payback. Yes, it’s always about the money.
The absolute ONE thing that made me realize the Senate was thoroughly corrupt – 100 corrupt Senators – was when not a single Senator, and all it would take is one, would stand up to recess the Senate, so PDJT could make his recess appointments instead of the Deep state choices our President was given.
Year one, right then and there, I knew the 100 Senators were 100% corrupt.
Rand Paul is only getting worked up over Covid because he knows how unpopular it is and is trying to position himself to surf on any changes in the political waves. The guy needs to go as well. He’s a less-phony sounding Ted Cruz.
Sundance very informative article as usual…..
But I think this goes back 20 years Sundance…..
The intelligence services failed us during 9/11…
They gained power with surveillance…
Instead of leveling Afghanistan…Then we went into Iraq.
How did they get there…. With the Help of Robert Mueller telling us..under oath that Iraq had WMD’s
The chain reaction started from there. The power grabs started from there…
Then the money started to flow in from china to support the 2 front wars…. at the cost to us all…We gave up a lot of freedom for those decisions
Their failure to fully anticipate the demise of the USSR and then their hapless performance prior to 9/11 (On the morning of 9/11/2001, CIA headquarters was busy explaining its new casual dress policy to disgruntled African American employees) resulted in Congress throwing enormous amounts of new money their way. Nothing increases the budget of a government agency like failure and the IC’s failures were fundamental and colossal. With the massive influx of new money, their penny ante corruption became world class corruption in a decade or so.
It actually goes back to around 1915, but as Sundance said, he doesn’t intend to examine the WHOLE history, cause that would get us lost in the weeds.
Think Biden is the worst POTUS, ever? Try Woodrow Wilson.
the problem is the same players were pretty much around then too
Interesting you mention “around 1915”, Dutchman.
I’d been thinking more 1917, specifically of the Fatima prophecy from July 1917 to the effect that if mankind did not repent, Russia would spread her errors throughout the world. Interestingly, two of the three Fatima visionaries died as a result of the Spanish flu epidemic after becoming ill in 1918.
Yeah, Woodrow Wilson brought us the Federal Reserve- private bankers in control of our monetary system.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3AFederal_Reserve_Act
Dutchman, How about Biden being the worst in the 21st century?
The other thing, is that this was/is a long march through our culture. This may have even been started after we gained our independence from England.
Once our republic was established, it required Godly, moral and ethical people to maintain it.
Over time, Godless , immoral, unethical people slowly worked their way into power and ensured themselves a permanent place to lord over us.
Its human nature and we allowed it in our complacency.
Go deeper: Saint Lincoln.
And did Rand ever complete the loop? He had all the documentation on gain of function funding, patents, and more, to shut that operation down and put away those responsible, much given to him by David Martin, and did nothing with it beyond a public pi**ing contest to create soundbites to raise cash. Remember Trey Goudy? Another Potemkin legislator. Darryl Issa? More talk. What ties their hands ?
Have you seen Rand’s new blonde hair?
Rand is not phony. He is who he says he is.
I was amazed Trump had enough real power to prevent enough Republican Senators from going for Removal after Impeachment.
I said as soon as Trump became frontrunning in the 1st Election —– the key to his Presidency would be — if he could keep enough Republican Senators in line. Could he put enough Fear in them to prevent them from doing what the real powers behind the scenes would want to order them to do — remove Trump from office.
The first impeachment the witnesses discredited the claims and there was no need to involve other witnesses. The second charge was contrived.
The second impeachment was unconstitutional so a guilty would have resulted in Trump winning an overturn in the SC and the Senate guilty of violating their oath of office on two counts.
Hell, I knew back when Goudy oversaw THREE “Investigate to Exhonerate” hearings of the three biggest ‘scandals’ to come out during the Obummer terms; Fast/Furious, IRS/Tea Party, and Benghazi.
Sundance explains WHY the Republicons white washed Benghazi; because they were fully complicit in the operation Zero footprint in Lybia, and the prior still unnamed operation in Syria.
So, they covered for Hillary, in order to cover for themselves.
Their complicity and motive in covering for Lois Lerner operation is self evident, and covered by Sundance, above.
Since the modus operandi of the coverup sham investigation was EXACTLY the same, and done by the same people, I just assume the Republicons were fully complicit in running military weopons to Drug cartels (Fast/Furious).
Once?,…happenstance.
Twice?,..coincidence.
THIRD time?,..ENEMY ACTION!
So very true Dutchman.
And now we know.
Anxious to get started on solving this, looking forward to seeing what more Sundance has for us.
If I don’t make it all the way to victory it was nice knowing all of the Patriots here on the Treehouse.
Nice to see you back on our treehouse battlefield Dutchman!
that’s why when you see a Senator doing the right thing
speaking out or making a miracle vote at 3 am to save us
is all for show
what kills me is people still look to these scumbag criminal losers
as being on our side for the tiny little chum they throw at us.
From what I’ve read, it doesn’t work that way. It’s essentially the opposite procedure. Mitch McConnell designates one Senator to remain in Washington and gavel the Senate in. As long as there is one that remains to do this, the Senate is still in session.
You need to look and see who he rotates through this process. They are the ones you want to primary out.
it is called a “pro forma” session where they pretend to be conducting business by not recessing….it is an old tactic but came back into prominence after Ozero nominated 3 temporary picks to the EEOC board while the Senate was still in pro forma…they were eventually found to have been illegally appointed by SCOTUS but not until 2 years later and MANY decisions that were left intact
The first thing we need to do is stop being so judgmental of one another. Stop being so harsh on those out there fighting for this country.
It’s not about you and your feelings. It’s about taking our country back
We need to unconditionally support those out there fighting like Sidney Powell, Lindell, Stuart Scheller and many others.
Remember this is not church, we are not looking for Sunday school teachers. Even if they are not perfect or screw up, we need to stay united.
One more thing, NO MORE BEING IMPRESSED BY WORDS from our elected leaders.
They can say whatever they want, screw them if they are not doing anything significant other than run the clock. Actions or nothing.
“Even if they are not perfect or screw up, we need to stay united.”
Certainly agree on the “not perfect” or “screw up”……
But they have to be MAGA in their actions and words…… otherwise they are just like the GOPe of yore.
We can’t let the perfect get in the way of the good. Big mistake.
Run the clock and run their mouths.
Well said!! Yes, support those who want our country back — not those who talk big and carry a tiny stick!
My wife is on a text list with many family members each weekend. Several have made snide self righteous remarks about unvaccinated people over the past months, not knowing her opinions. I am proud that today my wife finally had enough and spoke her mind, trying to educate them, rather than remaining silent. Here’s what she said:
“I love and respect all of you and I believe everyone has the right to make a completely informed decision about whether they think the benefits outweigh the risks for any medical treatment, including vaccines. If you are only obtaining information about Covid-19 from the mainstream media you are not completely informed about the disease itself or the issues with the vaccine. The mainstream media wants to incite fear and panic, and there is blatant censorship of opinions other than the official narrative. The vast majority of people fully recover from Covid-19 depending upon their other health issues and age. There have been tens of thousands of adverse reactions to the vaccines, including well over 10,000 deaths, reported to the VAERS (vaccine adverse event reporting system). It is also important to know that the vaccines do not prevent the disease, the vaccines were designed to lesson symptoms. Please seek out some alternative news sources if you wish to understand why someone may feel that the vaccine is not worth the risk. I have attached some links for your reference.”
I had an issue with some family members yesterday. My brothers son is getting married in Sept. It was postponed from last year. It’s happening in Queens, NY. I purchased my ticket a month ago and was planning on going until I found out that I MUST be vaxxed. I told my brothers and sister (4 brothers and 1 sister, all but 2 brothers are libs) that I would not be attending. I got criticized by my liberal brother, brother in law and I was pissed and let them have it. My sis was fine and understood. My 1 brother said that he chose life, so I took offense to that. I just don’t get it.
Your not alone. My wife and I are not going to take the clot shot. Well two days ago I was on the phone with the husband of my one daughter ,trying to fix his computer. Well she butts in asking about why I wanted to move to TN, in Id now. I told her we could make about 200,000 profit on our home here and buy one there. Than she says that is too far away[all kids are in Wa], and I say you could visit us, and I remind her that it has been 2 years sense we have been up there, because of covid. So I say Mom and I are not going to take the shot, so she says all of us[thekids] have taken it, so I say will it be alright if we come up, and not kidding you she says she would rather us not come, so I finish the conversation by saying ,well I guess TN it not to far away now.
LOl. Come on down to TN. You’ll love it here.
Constitutional Carry
No state income tax.
People leave you the eff alone.
You chose life too when you made the choice not to take the vaccine. My hubby’s best friend is now dead from a heart attack and two relatives have had strokes and all 3 chose the shot.
..And now they’re looking down from Heaven (more like Hell) and seeing all the life they missed out on because they chose fear and FauXI instead of God? How sad!
This is a harsh life lesson for all concerned.
It’s one thing to hurt yourself, unwittingly, but to drag others down with you is inexcusable. People will not be able to forgive themselves so easily.. once it is brought to light the egregious harm they have caused to others..
How many healthy young people have suffered lethal injections so they could attend school? One is too many.
How many “woke” bureaucrats enjoy the power of tossing aside their exemption letters in disdain? One is too many.
I’m not afraid of death. I know my soul mate waits for me at the finish line. I also know that Heaven is a wondrous place.
When it is MY time, I will go willingly.
But I have a very important job to finish here, first. And part of that job is to educate these fools before they doom themselves to an eternity of regret. To those with FauXI’s boot on their necks I say: Have the courage of your convictions and take your stand with God by your side.
He allows free choice, the freedom of man to choose his *own* destiny. How dare anyone here put themselves above God and presume to choose the fate of another?
“Without knowledge, there is no choice.” And when so much information from proven professionals with brilliant minds – including Robert Malone, MD, the developer of the mRNA vaccine technology, who this week acknowledged the problems inherent with these products, has been censored or smeared, there is no way to have enough information to call a choice “informed” without delving deep and wide and searching it out with an open mind. Currently have an unvaxxed 70 year old brother in law re-hospitalized in very serious condition- intubated, vented, blood clots suctioned twice daily from his lungs. ( Sent home after treated with Remdesevir 3 weeks ago.) Family would not look at any other information, regardless of source, would not consider any other early treatment, don’t even know what Remdesevir is or does, now are angrily and self righteously blaming him for his choice to remain unjabbed. Time will reveal how safe and effective these products are or are not. Meanwhile, data mounts; but sadly the propaganda against early interventions- depriving availability of information, is killing people.
Remdesevir is a drug Fauxci helped to create to combat AIDS…it doesn’t work for it either…Rogeron is supposed to better and actually works (it also costs a lot less)..probably could not get Ivernetim or HCQ in a hospital that uses Remdesevir as a first choice
and is a crime against humanity as well….the monster’s running this have a lot of “useful idiots”, well meaning people, helping them…btw, is it true that Bill Gates spent millions on studying population control? Just wondering out loud…
So sorry about your brother in law. I know people who died of MALFEASANCE also, and it is very, very sad!
The problem is they trust the wrong people. Not all doctors are smart. Not all (probably few) news people are honest. And this is why people continue to suffer.
Dr Zev Zelenko had it right in the money: Treat symptoms EARLY to avoid the need for hospitalization. Do *not* stay home “waiting” until it is too late to stop viral load. Get early interventions and find the *right* doctors to prescribe them.
Your wife is brave. How did they all respond?
Only one responded so far, and she is a nurse practitioner. She was respectful but pointed out the many people she has seen in the hospital for COVID who were not vaccinated. My wife then relayed the story of my coworker, whose relative has bilateral blood clots 3 days after his Pfizer shot and who may not actually survive, and the fact that there are dangers to this vaccine — which is the whole point of having freedom to decide for yourself.
I would also point out to the nurse that medical malfeasance is landing people -who should have received early therapeutics like Regeneron and Ivermectin- into the hospital in the first place.
I posted a video somewhere on here. It’s a fantastic compilation on different docs. It’s noble to try and sway the sheep. I have little hope for it however this video may help. I believe many of the sheep are too far gone at this point but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. We will need them in order to mount a successful insurgency. But as I have often said I believe the only thing that will snap them back into insanity is pain and whole lot of it. Hopefully it happens sooner than later because the longer this goes the more they cement their virtual prison.

Thanks for posting this again, Luke! I didn’t copy the link at the time and regretted it. Appreciate it!
I think I saw that on Stew Peters’ show or SGTReport or possibly the Health Ranger Report with Mike Adams. All three are good sources of information and tend to cross-post.
It is not a “vaccine” in any commonly understood sense. It is experimental gene therapy and it is quite dangerous to all.
I received a merged call from my mom and sister last Wednesday. They both asked me if I was going to get the vax now that it had fda approval. I said no and after a few minutes of particularly nasty and surprising MSM talking points, they told me they weren’t comfortable with me in their homes anymore. They thought they were lessening they blow by saying each of them, along with my brother in law, all came to this independently. Like that matters.
I’m single with no kids and this is devastating. I’ve lost my entire family to this mass psychosis and I alternate between extreme emotion and that cold anger we’ve become all to familiar with.
Thank you for these posts. I’m mainly a lurker here, but it gives me heart that others are in the same position. God bless!
So sorry about the attitude of your family. The deceit and absolute evil of only one “accepted”narrative is so terribly sad- praying for you.
Well reasoned and noninflammatory text by your wife! With all the links out there that one could share, I am curious which ones did she use?
P.S. OK to pull a Biden and plagiarize?
Sure.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tUE5EBPt-lU
https://vimeo.com/590557524
Also an article about a British warship where everyone was vaccinated but still got Covid. I don’t have link for that.
Thank you.
All is NOT lost, YET…..
But the window is closing, IMHO.
Here is a start: https://home.conservativepartyusa.org/re-declaration-of-independence/
Recall them, make the Senators all come home and stay home, revoke their authority to speak for their state’s constituency.
This needs to turn into a war of the governors and state legislatures giving a vote of “no confidence” to the Federal apparatus by not participating.
That would first require reversing the contra-Constitutional 17th Amendment, another devastating goodie left us under the Wilson administration.
NEVER legally ratified…do some research and you will see
Please explain. My research shows the 17th Amendment was ratified on April 8, 1913.
Kroesus, I like this but am ignorant so enlighten me.
It’s where I meant to go and I do think that a court battle over the 17th amendment would end badly politically for a greedy, recalled Senator.
He’d have to draw a Federal judge he helped appoint, exposing corruption, etc.
All of his fellow senators would look on in horror as well as the entirety of the judiciary as the squirmy stuff under that rock get exposed.
If the governors and state legislatures will it, they control all of the levers
The senators can bluster all they want about having “authority” but I view them as something akin to ambassadors to the UN or to a hostile foreign nation.
Ambassadors get recalled all the time. I don’t get a rats little tit that they think they have power, revoke it!!
The way the “representative government” gets its power is by claiming to “represent.” So, even if its just a war of words, the revocation of that authority must occur in order to stamp out the tyranny the corruption has wrought upon us all.
It’ll be a bad look for the Feds trying to impose a Senator upon a state who has revoked his/her authority. Probably worse than a Fort Sumpter moment.
Secretaries of state are also key to this. That’s where the focus of all of our efforts need to be –especially if all the machines are rigged to “select” instead of “elect”
SoS need to grow a pair and refuse to certify machine adjudication.
This needs to turn into something just shy of a shooting war between the state governments and the Fed.
Bottom line: We can win the state office battles…and thus the overall war.
Undoubtedly why Soros installed so many secretaries of states, and attorneys general.
It may be revealed to be far more important in upcoming elections to clear the cockroaches out of those positions, than to worry about who is being sent to the Senate.
For now.
Thank you Sundance for ALL the hard work you put in 24/7/365. You have given us all a birds view of the cesspool we are now residing in. To read your analysis is the bitter pill of truth. The time is NOW for us to fix it. My Sharpie and sticky note messages left at various locations will alone not cut it anymore. Action, ACTION, and more ACTION is required. I can, nor will I live in a country that does this to its citizens. Whatever it takes and more!
Encylopaedic .
extreme federalism.
Devolving into sovereign States with the Feds controlling Defence and little else perhaps?
While lobbyists can openly bribe Senators and Congressmen nothing changes.
1) Get 10 states to conduct complete forensic audits and prove the election was fraudulent
2) Get AFLD’s to compile a group of expert pathologists and conduct 300-500 autopsies on people who died unexpectedly and who coincidentally had the jab and tell the world what if anything the spike proteins are doing in the body and if ADE was occurring and finally what was the true cause of death.
Expose these two things coupled with what the world now sees and thinks of Biden’s International expertise and IMO 2+Billion people are going to be very pissed off at every socialist who has lied and deprived billions people of their freedom and God given rights.
1) Get 10 states to conduct complete forensic audits and prove the election was fraudulent
sooo Damn true
where in the world is Ron DeSantis ??
does he ever want to be President ?
he could be pressing his legislature for a audit
he has the bully pulpit.
just as or more important then masks
I would suggest you seek out video from the following – you will find you answers to all things related to the virus, treatment, the gene therapy injections, and much else. (I would suggest all to do so that haven’t.)
a) Dr Fuellmich with his group of doctors and lawyers
b) Dr Michael Palmer
c) Dr Cole (in particular his presentation at the White Coat Summit)
d) Dr Bhadki
e) Doctors 4 Covid Ethics symposium held in July (https://doctors4covidethics.org/symposium/)
f) Dr McCoullough
g) Dr Malone
h) Dr Fleming
Stay the hell away from the injections.
I got more:
Dr. Michael Yeadon
Dr. Dan Stock
Dr. Kevin Homer
Dr. Zelenko (the first, actually!)
Dr. Steven Hatfill
Dr. Naomi Wolf (Ph.D but fighter of the “vax”passports)
America’s Front Line Doctors
Dr David Baltimore
Dr. (David?) Mercola
Dr. Christina Parks
I agree
If these were routine drug trials the test subjects would be painstakingly followed to gauge both safety and efficacy of this mRNA “experiment.” It’s a no-brainer to autopsy test subjects who die after the injections, and also to carefully track symptoms.
It’s also a no- brainer to hold off on giving untested drugs to every human on the planet, until years of human “studies” are first completed AND assessed.
Don’t wait for these mad scientists to start doing the right thing here. They follow no laws of this universe, medical, spiritual or otherwise. Evil is their intent, pure and simple. They *want* to cull the human herd.
???☠️
Repeal the 17th Amendment. We need an organized effort – I’m game.
I do not think that would be all that successful in isolation without also abolishing the Federal Reserve system and returning the creation of legal tender back to the Treasury.
And get rid of the 16th Amendment as well for good measure.
NEVER legally ratified…do your own research and see for yourself
Please explain. My research shows the 17th Amendment was ratified on April 8, 1913.
Dig deeper. There are very entrenched interests that deny the factual reality and deliberately obfuscate it. Don’t depend on Wikipedia.
Look some of these things up under G. Edward Griffith, etc.; his groundbreaking book, The Creature from Jekyll Island is a huge eye-opener, with copious and careful documentation; also, find the movie, From Freedom to Fascism, by Aaron Russo; lots of content there, with documentation you can follow.
At the top of my head at the moment and time and place, this is the extent of my recommendations; I know there is LOTS more, but . . . “out of sight, out of mind,” it seems. These will at least give you places to start. I hope this helps. Peace.
Just remembered another excellent source: Hologram of Liberty: The Constitution’s Shocking Alliance with Big Government, by Kenneth W. Royce, also known as “Boston T. Party, known for Boston’s Gun Bible, among many other great books, before he “retired” from the censorious Internet.
Again, hope this helps, and peace to you.
Absolutely! So few people understand the tragedy of the 17th amendment.
YES! The root of all evil. The Senate is to be where the ones with time on the water are the adults in the room.
Work with the Convention of States: https://conventionofstates.com/
The application has passed in fifteen states and passed one chamber in nine states. We need the nine to pass in the other chamber plus ten more states. To me, it’s an avenue of potential success that shouldn’t be overlooked.
As we said years ago in VietNam — Airborne all the way! “Follow Me!”
Just wanted to let everyone know I am half way thru…
…it’s good and going back now!
I would point out that the IC Community is not the only deep staters who avoid oversite or accountability, by ‘notifying SOMEONE’ (low level staffer, with no authority) ,…FAUCI used this same trick, to get around the Obama ban on gain of function research, early in the Trump admin.
So, any Dept that wants to “cover their ass” while violating the law, can use the compartmentalisation of information trick.
Secondly, while I agree the Senate is the heart of the problem, as is apperent in Sundances excellent treatise, the REPUBLICON/DECEPTICON leadership, is the heart of the problem with the Senate.
Without McConnell working hand in glove with Pelosi, without the 17 or so Republicon Chairs who do his bidding,…
There is NO WAY a traditionally center right country, such as the U.S. could have been dragged so far left, without a FAKE Conservative party, pulling us to the left, all the while SAYING one thing, while doing another.
And, those of us who, for YEARS voted “R” as the lesser of two evils, are JUST as culpable as the useful idiots voting for Biden.
IMHO
The UniParty, the right and left wings of that foul bird of the Globalists.
It is only through the efforts of Sundance and PDJT. That we (I) have found out how intertwined most if not all of our agencies, bureaus, offices locally, statewide and federally have become.
Sadly most of those employees within agencies, offices, … all/most of their work is in silos. Almost everyone outside of the silo is clueless what else is out there.
Only a few are privy to the overall information.
Brilliant!
My brain thanks you for researching, organizing and relating all of this detailed information.
My heart thanks you for your patriotism and love of country.
My soul thanks you for your love of God, quest for truth and desire for justice.
My prayers surround you, blessing you and asking God to protect you.
Lovely. And well deserved.
Sam Faddis, Former CIA Intelligence Officer: We’re at a point, with at least at the level of Biden and his cabinet, that we have to start seriously considering that what we are seeing are deliberate actions on their part to harm America. We have to entertain the possibility that we have a guy in the White House who is playing for the other side.
This comment made tonight on War Room.
A whole lot of things would make more sense.
Of course, it’s part of Obama’s 3rd term…full steam ahead. If he isn’t the mark of 666, he’s dang close.
edited.
Self delete.
Whew!
Significant. Glad I checked in tonight.
Showing the brilliance of the Founders who designed the Senate as specifically NOT an elected body by the people.
It all goes back to that change, long ago.
I think that may be a part of it. The states have no representation in DC now because of the 17th Amendment. I would put the repeal of the 17th Amendment high on the list of things to do.
Along about the same time as the 17th was passed, another “bad thing” happened, the creation of the Federal Reserve. Everybody is always wanting to audit the Fed. I want it totally eliminated. No central banks should ever be allowed, anywhere anytime.
And the Internal Revenue Service for direct taxation of citizens, already ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.
Yes…..how do we repeal the 17th?
Repeal the 17th Amendment. That is where it all went wrong.
i am sending this post to as many people as I can, and dropped a donation to boot!
Pretty much every time we have amended the original Bill of Rights, we made things worse. The 17th was a well planned torpedo by FDR and the globalists.
When I run into the Constitutional Convention subversives, I ask them why they do not align their donors and their energies to first simply repealing the 17th, before they try to rewrite the whole Constitution.
Crickets
A lot went wrong during that time.
The 16th and 17th Amendments, the Federal Reserve Act and the prototype for the United Nations, the League of Nations.
All during the terms of one prototypical Progressive.
FRA is unconstitutional…monetary policy is a power specifically given to CONGRESS…it CANNOT be reassigned by statutory law
The crime is plain to see by anyone who’s been properly educated in our government’s history.
Not in “free” government public schools.
Thank you for your persistence and truth!
CANNOT repeal that which was never legally ratified..16th and 17th Amendments are NOT what you have been sold
Something worth distinguishing, I think, is that the FBI isn’t really part of the Intelligence community in the traditional sense. They’re a DoJ agency but the FBI role in domestic surveillance of criminal and terrorist organizations gives them a sizable role in the intelligence community as well, largely because there’s so much international flavor to criminal gangs and terrorism. It’s that international-domestic bridge that gives them access to the outwardly designed tools (intel community) and the legal opportunity (Justice) to apply them to inward concerns.
“Sister Agencies”, in their own words. ( I would call them twinsies. )
Yes, and…
The FBI was pulled/pushed/dragged into “counter-terrorism” in a huge way by the backlash the received after their failures revealed by the 9/11 commission.
There were a few waves that began after that report: first, a huge influx of funding for the Bureau to use on “CT”. And following from the huge budget was the Bureau’s rabid dedication to spending it. They ginned up massive “CT” operations that garnered huge headlines: “Terrorist plot disrupted…” and “Terrorists with SAMs arrested at airport…” etc, etc, etc. Of course, all these “CT” operations were ginned up by the Bureau itself–a quite lucrative and satisfactory self-licking ice cream cone. Of course, we see the downstream effects today of their perfection of the entrapment ops against “terrorists,” and it appears we’ve only seen the first steps.
The other huge effect from the 9/11 commission report was the formation of a formalized “Intelligence” function within the Bureau. This allowed them to enter the IC as a full-partner. And the pressure to “play nice” with the IC resulted in massive Bureau involvement in overseas CT operations, with huge cadres of Bureau agents present in every war zone, mucking around in foreign operations.
By the way, be aware of something: you are supposed to demand Joe’s resignation. Can we not all agree this is a trap? Who is our best guaranty of people “reaching the precipice” by reason of constant displays of sinister, planned moves masking as incompetence? Joe OBiden. Keep him in office!
Biden is not going anywhere, Obama is loving all this.
I had a feeling in my gut(for a long time) that we would need the states and state level government. SD explains the why of this so clearly… If he feels there is a chance,, after everything that he has done, IRL, I am hopeful again.
“Tier One is “tactical civics” at a local level.”
Is anyone familiar with this group or, a member?
https://tacticalcivics.com/
I found a bit more on one of the founders of Tactical Civics
On “how to fix this mess”, respectfully, I don’t think a DIVIDED Nation, with 75-80 million of us being opposed by an equal # of ‘useful idiots’ CAN overcome the mess we are in.
Fortunately, I THINK we have seen a steady increase in our #’s, since DJT’s escalator ride.
Our enemy has wholeheartedly pursued the path of generating the “false narrative” which is eventually proved false.
They count on the lie running around the World, before Truth can lace up its running shoes.
They forget that once it DOES get its shoes on, it is a MARATHON runner, while lies are sprinters, and once it catches up, it will put one of those running shoes right up the lies *ss.
And each time one of these lies is disproved, the enemy loses credibility, and support.
They have accellerated their false narrative generation under Bidenites, and will continue to, further destroying their credibility and support.
When 95 percent of the population oppose the enemy, THEN ousting them is simply a matter of refusing to comply.
No government, no matter how tyrannical, can stand without at least passive support of the populace.
In the mean time, I fully agree with Sundance on local resistance and STATE Government push back, with America First fighters as State legislators, Governors, SoS’s, State Attornies General, Judges, etc.
The Bidenites are probably swelling our #’s, with every dim witted action they take.
I agree wholeheartedly Dutchman, the Truth is a powerful unstoppable weapon and thank you for bringing this up.
I have watched and read as many post about how cleaver Joseph Goebbles was and how skilled he was at using lies to manipulate the masses and how he and the Nazi party was so successful in using lies to sway so many.
But these same posters for get what eventually happened to Goebbles.
They forget how all of this success came crashing down and how Goebbles and his wife committed suicide after he had his wife killed their own six young children while huddling like rats in an underground bunker.
This man did not live a nice long successful life of praise, and glory like he and Hitlers henchmen were promised, they all died either by their own hands or by swinging at the end of a rope at the hands of the Americans and their Allies.
Lies are for cowards and they always lose after creating death and destruction.
And as you point out the Truth is a strong and fearful weapon and we need to use it and use it often.
Be active in your local community. Run and take over some key positions in your state.
I have been politically active in my NY community for years including running for town board.
I wish I could tell you that the town and county Repubs were MAGA people but they are not.
In fact some of them are just as bad and corrupt as the DemonRats.
There’s are two things that are bringing out the good people- CCP virus and CRT in the schools.
Finally the locals are waking up and getting off their asses to fight.
very dangerous battlefield for the honest and earnest citizens..this unholy alliance will savage any candidate not aligned with them including friends and family
The convention of states method of ammending the Constitution is also a possibility, but maybe not in my lifetime.
The current Convention of States campaign is gaining momentum at a dangerous pace, and is aimed at replacing our Constitution, not improving it.
The problem lies not in our Constitution, but in the government that acts above it.
The convention of states method of ammending the Constitution is also a possibility, but maybe not in my lifetime.
Genie;
No offense meant to you personally, but I for one am sick and tired of hearing this lie repeated by the unknowing among us. A Constitutional convention is the WORST THING we can have. We can’t trust Congress while in SESSION to do what’s right. Sending Congress to convention where they can do ANYTHING THEY WANT to “amend” the Constitution to remove any portion of the Bill of Rights (guns, religion, speech) is morally irresponsible and intellectually repulsive.
In theory, convention of the states and/or repealing the 17th amendment are righteous endeavors. But in truth, things have escalated to the point that we simply do not have the years that those would take to accomplish. What I’m seeing is the Corrupt Class pressing hard to finish their complete dismantling of the United States. In a civilized world, alas no more, these 2 things would be worthwhile. I believe we are being pushed to the brink in quick fashion. And I’m very afraid we’ll have been pushed over the edge, hanging on by our fingernails, with the authoritarian boot in our faces before most realize it. I shouldn’t be, but I’m horrified at the ignorance of most of the Americans I see with their noses in their devices, little attention being paid to their immediate surroundings, never mind the country they live in. We as Americans are waking up, but not in time to accomplish 2 constitutional remedies.
How do you know that they aren’t using those devices to read our alternative media? If you saw me in a supermarket line I would be reading my phone – and I would be catching up on CTH.
Devices are a tool – can be used either intelligently or very stupidly.
Convention of the States does NOT involve Congress at ALL…in fact, Congress is completely bypassed in the whole process…suggest you read US Constitution Article V before posting on the topic again
Even though technically Congress is not involved, there is no barrier to members of Congress or their lackeys to be involved in the activities of the COS. We already cannot get many state legislators, governors, party heads to heed the dictates of We the People. And look at how long it is taking to get enough approvals through. Ideally it should work if the states themselves understand their rights and agree with the individual liberties outlined in The Constitution. As we have seen via the covid lockdowns and mandates, the states, excepting only a couple, are not our bulwark until the governments of many states are replaced.
If ever there was a Magnum Opus done by Sundance, I would say that this has to be it.
The depth and substance of this essay are breathtaking in their scope and the magnitude of what has been outlined is earth shattering.
At some point I would love to see this and other essays of Sundance printed in book form so that they cannot be tampered with electronically. They are that important to our Republic.
I can never ever thank Sundance enough (and his team) for the work they have undertaken to preserve and save our Republic. It is indeed shameful that there is not one elected or appointed official of any branch of government who even understands what the problems are, let alone how to solve them.
Thomas Jefferson said “When once a Republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil.”
This and some of Sundance’s other writings have been printed out and placed in our file cabinet in a file titled “For Our Posterity”.
I think they will get it and read them.
I also put a PS in my handwriting on the file, love Mom.
That’s a great idea.
I wholeheartedly agree. Definitely forwarding this to all I know and encourage every CTH follower to do the same. No one explains things better than Sundance imo.
TreeOfLiberty. Blood. Patriots. Tyrants.
Some assembly required …
Witch-hunt. Full fledged, like never before seen, down to the marrow of the bones —- Witch-Hunt….globally…..
God Bless you Sundance. And all behind the scenes… we know.
Both sadness and cold anger. Looking for a way to push past the tipping point.
Let’s take care of our Responsibilities and do what we can willingly and happily, wily as serpents, the ripple effect is Awesome, you’ll be creating the Social Order.
Thank you Sundance. A remarkable effort.
May God bless you and yours.
God bless President Trump and his family.
How do we fix this mess?
Change human DNA to be more like that of the cat.
Of all God’s creatures, there is only one that can not be made slave to the leash (at least it is damn difficult anyway), and that is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat, it would improve man, but deteriorate the cat.
– Mark Twain (the greatest commenter er on the human condition who ever lived)
My sisters walk their cats on a leash and put them on a cable run to prevent roaming. It’s not difficult you just start them young…. like in public grade schools…
Yes, must be started young.
The point is, a cat is not a dog. You have to earn a cat’s trust and true friendship, and indeed there is a “window” in a young cat’s life where that can be done (socialization with human beings); once that window is shut, it’s very, very rare to be able to win a cat’s trust and affection. A dog gives it away, most family-oriented breeds to everyone indiscriminately, unless trained otherwise.
It takes a lot of abuse to make a dog reticent to come to hand, and even most feral dogs can be tamed and made into pets. It takes just once or twice of physical harm to make a cat leave forever and never look back.
There are always exceptions that prove the rules. The point is they’re exceptions, and should be noted as such.
C. S. Lewis was no slouch in that department either. Clemens is certainly the funniest. Both are rare treasures.
Finished: some points- I think the traitors never thought Trump would win and did the 3% thing where they could fix elections. Trump blew past that in MI, WI,PA and so forth. Hence Trump wins. The traitors couldn’t take that chance in 2018 and targeted those state governments like GV, AG, SOS. Now the traitors had way in and lay down COVID-19.
Covid I believe was meant to be here in 2018 after Hillary was installed and they fixed some more elections making us look like Australia is right now.
Trump won and killed their plans for global takeover. Should Trump had his election given to him in 2020 (he won) there is no doubt in my mind they would have killed him.
As SD just wrote the traitors to our country have put in a lot of work to destroy us and enrich them. They couldn’t let Trump spoiler that.
is it just me, or is everything so big, so crazy, for me to wrap my head around. i mean, i am not a msm follower, but this is just so BIG, so, actually, too much for me, that i understand why and how the msm and followers can just process this as it’s given in order to avoid the overwheming feeling and what it may lead to.
The silence emanating from that chamber has been deafening. Complicit… both sides. Corrupt, bought. And with a corrupted voting system, I think the only way out is for essential workers, that is everybody, to withhold his labor. Nurses, truckers, and the rest of the ” little people” that our “betters” sneer at, look down upon, mock. It wouldn’t be easy, but we are way past the time where we can wait for others to straighten this out. Whether we acknowledge it as such or not, we are in a war. Ants against grasshoppers. I think it could work. We’re already seeing the embryonic stages of a massive revolt. Think medical personnel walking away from hospitals, pilots and aircrew leaving airlines in the lurch. These arrogant Congressional despots haven’t yet realized that we hold all the economic power. We just need to finally use it.

In a certain way Joe Biden has taken the lead on this as he is only working about 5 hours per week.
Notice I did say “in a certain way”).
Every little bit helps, doesn’t it.
Trucker work stop already planned for tomorrow August 31, in solidarity with the truckers in Australia.

While this is all true it is the federal reserve that is the root problem. Without the federal reserve creating money out of thin air .gov wouldn’t be able to keep paying for all of this corruption.
Wow. Just WOW
Sundance has thrown down the gauntlet with this one!
For heaven’s sake everyone please save this to air-gapped to a safe place.
I raise him three pitchforks.
That’s a good summary of where we are at and what we face. Here is a quick compilation video from Bitchute regarding Covid. The Asian Doctor at the beginning gives me chills. We had damn well better win this Covid war because I’m certain that if TPTB get their way and most get vax’d it’s game over.
Every civilization has a history of rise and fall. The crumbling of the society is usually due to corruption and ineptitude. I believe the people in charge (IC) know this as well. And they are using Covid and technology to short circuit the Natural Order of things. As inspiring as it is to see the French and Aussie pushback we “the American Citizens” may be the last best hope. Not all resistance ends up being non violent.
Here’s the quick video:

Great video
I am excited to read of the One Ring solution.
I can say that Tier I is shaping up nicely in many places, and is more visible than ever I can remember.
It is amazing what happens when people turn away from being fed-centric and return to the local / state entities.
Fed-centric is just a waste of time in 2021.
MAGA’s action is at the city / county / school board / state level.
And then, in truth, there is no need of state or fed. State and Fed are both just a waste of time, resources, independence, freedom, liberty, time, property, labor and life.
Why is that so hard to see?
We do not need them. They can’t exist without us. Why do we allow it, then?
The entire dc federal septic system, better known as the federal government needs to be thoroughly cleansed. The overwhelming corruption needs to be excised with extreme prejudice.
Look at it very, very closely.
What is the necessity for it at all?
The whole thing needs to be completely excised and flushed forever.
Some things I don’t agree on is the beginning of when the traitors felt emboldened to do all this and how it ends.
Told someone other day that America/Americans had most freedoms after civil war and before FDR.
I do realize that KKK made this time hard for black Americans nonetheless it war freer.
Remember Alexis de Tocqueville said (paraphrasing) “that America has too much freedom and one day someone/people will come along and take it away from Americans w/out them even knowing. This was like 30 years before Civil War!
Once FDR comes in it’s all over for us. Just snippets left at this point.
No protracted war can fail to endanger the freedom of a democratic country. War does not always give over democratic communities to military government, but it must invariably and immeasurably increase the powers of civil government ; it must almost compulsorily concentrate the direction of all men and the management of all things in the hands of the administration. If it does not lead to despotism by sudden violence, it prepares men for it more gently by their habits . All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war [Endless “War on Terror” and Endless War on Covid19] is the surest and the shortest means to accomplish it. This is the first axiom of the science.
– Alexis de Tocqueville,
O Sundance! I had to read this post 2 times to actually get it. You are right on with what going on with the 4th branch of our US government- the intelligence branch. Awesome just awesome post. My head is spinning still. God bless you Sundance for all you teach us.
I think part of what it’s going to take is for some folks who wear badges and who see themselves as “just following orders” to be doxed and bloodied. We out number them.
I agree with your premise that the Senate is a problem but I disagree that you can fix it at the Federal level. The Senate deadlocked for 70 years over the 3/5 Compromise. They couldn’t resolve the issue constitutionally. War ensued. Part of the problem with the Senate is that the Constitution grants the Senate full power to make their own rules. That’s a recipe for stalemate. The other part of the problem is that the number of states needed to call for a Constitutional convention is too high. War ensued. We have the same problem today. Fixing the Constitution must come from the States; the Congress likes things the way they are. But the barrier is still in place. The only way out is war.
2/3 is too high?…that is only 34 states…it takes 3/4 to ratify an amendment
Ask yourself why the barrier to CALL a convention is so high. 50%+1 seems more appropriate. Set a high bar for ratification. If citizens don’t like the new constitution they vote no. What’s wrong with a discussion?
Other point is- I hope and pray that freedom wins without a violent mess. War sucks/killing sucks and most ppl should live until a nice old age.
I don’t think the traitors to our country want that. They are the ones who want us dead. They will force our hands. We cannot just let them take us and liberties away.
Good read as always SD! Stay well and look forward to next one! Thank you.
One of the tenants of fixing our country is the development of a mass communication system most likely something low tech.
Too many people still rely on the easiest source of information for their “Truth”
Ham radio? Like Nellie Ohr used to remain hidden? By the way, CA wants to kill off ham radio by eliminating repeaters. This is insane since ham radios are vital in emergency communications. But CA commies see independent, free, wide-ranging communications, available to the citizens as a threat. Bastards.
I used the MARS setup a couple of times when on WestPac to communicate with my wife…volunteer HAM operators serial transmitting the message all the way across the Pacific Ocean
Actually it’s a rather simple fix, remove the now unfettered abuses of “Qualified Immunity” in an actual law that defines just what “qualified” means and bring everyone regardless of agency into oversight who has such claims to its powers.
Before Eisenhower, we gave J Edgar Hoover’s transformative FBI the power to take out the mob using mob tactics. That was fated to morph into the monster we face today by virtue of its very nature. Sunlight in oversight and accountability of “Qualified Immunity” is the disinfectant, bearing power to remove it when we see the balance of justice is being weighted without just cause or with ill intent.
I would say a more extreme solution beyond that is revocation of “Sovereign Immunity” from government officials who have committed a crime related to their function…this would make them criminally and civilly liable when they break the law and it would not take too many cases of bankrupting the scoundrels to bring the less stoutly willed into compliance…after all the majority of these criminals operating in the shadows are at their core COWARDS
Another great idea, and I mean it. The question is who is going to do that? How do you fight the broken system using the very same broken system? That’s the conundrum.
I think everyone knows the answer, we just are not comfortable with saying it out loud.
You are right–accountability is key. But how do you accomplish that when the very people who supposed to do away with “Qualified Immunity” are in on the scam?
The question is: How do you fight the broken system using the very same broken system that will protect itself from us?
Using Star Trek analogy, we are being given a Kobayashi Maru Test, a no-win situation to test our character.
