Interesting developments that add a more fulsome context to the Axios report about alternative Tech platforms earlier in the day.
Several news outlets are now reporting that Congressman Devin Nunes (R-CA) will exit his congressional seat at the end of this month and take a position as CEO of the newly formed Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG).
Many people are wondering why hire a congressman and not a technology expert. To wit, I would say Trump’s not hiring a congressman. It looks to me like he’s hiring a professional with specific expertise in the intelligence arena.
If you think about the bigger battleground, a technology CEO with subject matter expertise in the U.S. intelligence system is a skillset to be appreciated.
NY Post – Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), a prominent ally of former President Donald Trump, will leave Congress at the end of this month to head up Trump’s new social media company.
Trump Media & Technology Group announced the appointment of Nunes as CEO in a Monday evening statement.
“The time has come to reopen the Internet and allow for the free flow of ideas and expression without censorship,” Nunes was quoted as saying. “The United States of America made the dream of the Internet a reality and it will be an American company that restores the dream. I’m humbled and honored President Trump has asked me to lead the mission and the world class team that will deliver on this promise.”
Trump described Nunes in the statement as “a fighter and a leader” who “will make an excellent CEO of TMTG.”
“Devin understands that we must stop the liberal media and Big Tech from destroying the freedoms that make America great,” the 45th president added. “America is ready for TRUTH Social and the end to censorship and political discrimination.” (read more)
This announcement follows an interesting sequence of events (citation links in the dates):
♦ October 20 – Donald Trump announces the basic outline of Truth Social, an upstart social media system for MAGA supporters. The financing would come through Digital World Acquisition Group (DWAC). Shares of DWAC skyrocket after the announcement.
♦ October 24 – CTH receives a tip that Patrick Byrne is investing $1 million in Locals (launched by Dave Rubin Dec 2019)
♦ October 26 – Rumble and Locals announce they are merging into one company. Rumble purchases Locals.
♦ November 02 – Rumble announces they are relocating the company HQ to Florida.
♦ December 01 – Rumble announces an IPO through Cantor Fitzgerald.
♦ December 04 – Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) announce $1+ billion raised in private equity, through Digital World Acquisition Group (DWAC).
♦ December 06 – Axios writes article about rise of “right-wing” social media infrastructure. Focuses on financial aspects.
♦ December 06 – SEC opens an investigation of the equity fundraising through DWAC. “Trading of Digital World’s shares has driven TMTG’s valuation from $875 million in October to close to $4 billion.”
♦ December 06 – Devin Nunes is announced as CEO of Trump Media & Technology Group.
♦ December 06 – Rumble announces a deal with TMTG through Cantor Fitzgerald. “Howard Lutnick, the CEO of Rumble’s parent company Cantor Fitzgerald, stated on Monday that they have worked out a distribution deal with Donald Trump’s planned “Truth” social media platform.” … “Truth and the 45th president are going to use Rumble’s infrastructure, their technology, their cloud distribution capability, so they are going to be a service provider, a tech provider to the president’s Truth Social,” Lutnick told interviewer John Bachman on his “John Bachman Now” show.
Great. So in essence, Trump Media will use the tech architecture of Rumble. There will be a partnership.
That’s the sequence of events as to how these two networks (Rumble & TMTG) came into the position they are now. Let me say with clarity and emphasis, I want to see these platforms succeed. I will support, as we do already, each and every platform against the interests of Big Tech, and I will encourage all Treepers to support each platform. That said, there’s something in this timeline that looks disconcerting to me:
- Patrick Byrne invests in Locals.
- Locals merges with Rumble.
- Rumble goes into an IPO with Cantor Fitzgerald
- Trump forms TMTG.
- TMTG Raises funds from private equity ($1 billion+ DWAC)
- SEC investigates TMTG equity funds from DWAC.
- TMTG announces Devin Nunes CEO
- Cantor Fitzgerald announces Rumble will partner with the newly formed TMTG.
This is the sequence of events.
The Axios article and SEC moves on same day point to someone on the inside of the organizational network (TMTG/Rumble) tipping off someone outside. And the people they are tipping off are not good characters. This is someone deep enough inside this newly forming media/tech operation to walk media and government insiders through the plans and funding sources, and trigger those simultaneous responses.
If you see that pattern, stay with me.
The next logical question is to ask who and how?
From my perspective, there is one big glowing worm in this new social media operation.
Byrne engages with NRA, NRA comes under federal investigation….
Byrne engages with Donald Trump Jr, DJT Jr. comes under federal investigation…
Byrne engages with Sidney Powell, Powell comes under federal investigation…
Byrne engages with audit groups, audit groups come under federal investigation…
Byrne engages with TMTG, TMTG comes under federal investigation…
Oddly enough, Byrne never comes under federal investigation; only the people he touches….
Patrick Byrne.
Stop me if you see a pattern.
And let’s not forget the Friday night meeting at the White House (Powell, Flynn, Byrne, Cipollone, Meadows, Guiliani) which surfaced in the New York Times via leaks the next morning (Saturday), and then Byrne using Twitter the following day (Sunday) to post pictures of himself at the White House and frame a story of the meeting.
Consider yourself warned.
Eject the Fed.
I’m sure President Trump and Chairman Nunes are well aware of the potential risks. Also, I have zero insider knowledge and only work from what data points are publicly visible, and Byrne as a DC operative is educated conjecture on my part {supported here}. That said, this wouldn’t be his first rodeo, and sunlight is the best disinfectant.
When is the last time the corrupt SEC has investigated any communist or democrat venture ?
When is the last time ANY DC bureaucracy has investigated ANY communist OR Democrat Venture?
When Mendez supported Netenyahu. Feds raided him a day or two later. That was the moment I knew they were gestapo.
And it’s only gotten worse over the years. But that was the last time I remember them going after a lefty.
Do you mean Menendez of NJ?
probably 1953 when joe mccarthy called out all the commies in hollywood and congress!
Wasn’t Bryne the one who produced the video conference of the marxist buerocrats that were planning on attacking the streets of DC if Trump remained President?
Maybe it becomes a question if who is using who re: Byrnes….
Not convinced Trump is unaware of downsides or ‘frenemies’….I believe Trump does Trump and he fearlessly faces it all with a ‘bring it on’ attitude…whether for better or worse.
Maybe, further, Trumps move will create even more ‘sunlight’ for the public at large to see that they are being danced by a bunch of Tech Giant puppeteers…nothing brings out the worst in people than a perceived loss of power and control….
I say….let the games begin….
‘a question of’…not ‘if’
😣😣😣
Trump is the type who prefers to have his enemies on the inside of his tent peeing out, rather than on the outside the tent peeing in.
He’s shown he lets his enemies have a 360° field of fire and hasn’t actually managed them very well at all. I do not wish failure on his business venture. But he’s still, in my view, better as a catalyst than a viable candidate especially with someone like DeSantis walking the planet.
Nunes is a savvy pick, however, for his knowledge inside the wire.
DeSantis, the Yale/Harvard lawyer and career politician who hasn’t even served on term as governor? Too much Benji Koolaide?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
More of that 3-D chess?
Agree, The President has to kmow there is gonna be a worm. Dig him out early.
Trumps spy networks and ruthlessly genius use of intel has been the stuff of legends since the 80s.
He carefully crafted his public persona to convincingly masks his intelligence and lethality. As he observed, adversaries who believe you’re harmless are far less guard.
For what its worth, despite wearing a mask in public, based on my research, Trumps love, compassion and humor are very, very real.
I concur with your insight of “Trump does Trump”, go ahead a toss the coin and if need be double down was not a successful game plan, at this point in history.
American’s have had it good, or should I say “well”, for so long that the people’s memory hole is dark and their attention span, political analytic acumen, and spine (brain stem) has been degraded to the point that they don’t really sense how good they’ve had it relative other parts of the world (sic). Mostly due to the P word (propaganda) and other Bankers Issues. But I digress.
The folks (here and in the Anglosphere) don’t want to get themselves totally, engaged yet, probably rightfully so, in picking up Christ’s Cross of the Real Politic in the context of the Founders Understanding; always a challenge, right, one of self-awareness and the exquisitely difficult work of self-governance as a meme for all citizens, right? They’re also fearful due to the MSM and ubiquitous propaganda relating to the German Experience, over there.
Trump is not exempt from this mimesis, this technological unwariness, this democrat technique of generating cognitive blind spots that won’t go away without total personal integrity in the individual. Perfection, no! Hard work, blood and treasure, yes!! Good on DJT for stepping up to the plate.
Rumble changed its TOS right at the time of the contract. Jared has been going around insisting that TOS specifically prohibit antisemitism, or disparaging comments about Israel.
He tried to muscle Gab into it, and Torba said “NO”, he was for free speech, would not comply. Jared told him that he WOULD NOT ALLOW Trump to join Gab unless he changed them.
I wish he would just butt out. He’s has given P. Trump bad advice.
Well, Patrick has diarrhea of the mouth.
The Rumble CEO will be interviewed by Attorney Robert Barnes and Canadian Attorney David Freiheit (vivabarneslaw.locals.com) 8 Dec 2021 on Freiheit’s youtube & Rumble platforms (h/t Stella, tyvm Stella check out Stella’s site for Viva-Barnes Law links and other stuffs https://stellasplace1.com/).
Should be quite an interesting interview with the Rumble guy after all this recent activity.
Attorney Barnes’ opinion re: Byrnes should be quite enlightening.
ShipwreckedCrew locks horns and is dismissive of Barnes, FWIW. SWC seems to school him on certain legal matters.
Oh gee, whom to believe? A private attorney with a proven history of winning “impossible” defense cases, very often pro bono, or a guy who spent his entire life working for the U.S. gubmint?
Tough call.
Thanks for the heads up, PC.
My estimation of SWC and Barnes: SWC is similar to Andy McCarthy during Russia. Russia. AM couldn’t fathom the FBI, DOJ lying to get a FISA., etc. He really believed that the “system” – all the checks and balances – would prevent abuse. I will never forget AM’s apology after the RRR started pouring out from Nenes, etc.
SWC is the same way, he sees the system from inside the DOJ and he believes that the “good” people inside the system will prevent its abuse.
Barnes is outside the system so he’s not biased by a love for the institution.
They both have valuable input. Sometimes they can disagree and both be right. My estimation is that Barnes is wiser on most outcomes but SWC knows the DNA of the system better.
SWC? 😂😂😂
seems everyone but Byrnes has been dragged into court and sued for any part in questioning the election.
Curioser and curioser. As noted here recently:
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/11/30/doj-prosecutors-using-grand-jury-to-subpoena-financial-records-of-2020-election-audit-groups/
“Interestingly, the Washington Post positions Patrick Byrne as an innocuous player in the story line who has not received a subpoena. However, for those who follow the deep weeds of FBI operations you can see the familiar shadow of a confidential informant; a person in place to participate as an ally yet subversively gathering information for later use.”
Along those lines, made these comments about the optics of a previous Byrne story that grabbed some headlines:
https://web.archive.org/web/20190823150540/https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/08/23/details-behind-patrick-byrne-allegations-of-fbi-political-espionage/comment-page-2/#comments
“We’re supposed to believe after all of the media entities covering for the FBI, CIA, State Dept. and Senate Intellingence that this guy is going to be provided a platform and a microphone so readily from multiple media outlets (NYT, CNN, FOX) with anchors basically providing a “tell us more! Oh no, Hillary was targeted too? Warren Buffet is our friend!” backdrop.
“When this story first crawled out from its (apparent) beta testing via Sara Carter — as noted on this site, consider who leaks to the tick tockers, it strained credulity. The motive became even more questionable when Buffet — not one known for wasted words and efforts against his interests — made a direct email quote in her article akin to what Sinatra and his platoon were brainwashed to say about the Manchurian Candidate about Byrne’s credentials.
“I’m going with the assumption that we are being played, especially with the Hillary rope-in and the new angle this provides: we were all victims, not just the GOP candidate. Therefore, no generational-defining political,hit to the partisan weaponization the Dems pulled off, just more diversity training in the FBI and we’re all good.”
Also:
“And we’re supposed to believe that the narrative engineers at the network weren’t signaled from somewhere that spotlighting Byrnes was a net positive to the agenda of the usual suspects and not a boon to highlighting the weaponization of the government against the president by partisan factions the the auspices of Barry and Hilly. Got it.”
Yeah, Byrnes should be toast, with -0- credibility or trust.
What does PDJT’S Poem say,…about taking in SNAKES?
Certainly not “keep them close”, THATS for sure!
A key difference is that Trump is NOT a “tender hearted woman” and does not have the same foolish motivations for doing something that may, superficially, appear to be the same thing. 😘
I haven’t seen or heard from Sara Carter in a while. I don’t watch FOX anymore so I may be wrong.
Viva and Barnes are having the Rumble CEO on sidebar on Wed night. I think at 7 pm.
At first I was very sad that Rep Nunes chose to leave congress- he has done so much to bring light to the whole Russia Russia hoax perpetrated upon President Trump as well as other investigations. But I wish him well in the new venture & hope it succeeds.
feel good knowing, that you know, Congress will not be what saves America.
I don’t really see how, NOW he had much opportunity to do much good, IN Congress.
He was effectively hamstrung, by Republicon leadership, McCarthy, Ryan before him, and McConnell.
He would NEVER publically critisise them, either, despite invitations to do so.
He could write criminal referals, that the DOJ would use, to line their wastebaskets.
Hope he is not also a ‘plant’ to undermine PDJT.
Perhaps he will be a VP running mate for President Trump? Trump could step down early snd we would be in stabil hands.
Nunes “a plant”? Nope.
He’s solid as a sequoia.
Nunes has a lot of courage. I’m old enough to remember all the artillery he took when he blew the whistle on the Crossfire Hurricane FISA Court/Comey crime spree, and the fake dossier that Hillary solicited to get the “Trump is an agent of Putin” hoax started so the Deep State could hamstring President Trump with the Mueller Witch Hunt scam. It’s amazing what this President did for America in the short time he was in office in spite of all of this. He is either a genius, or it shows you how much most of his predecessors were void of any common sense, or were actively working to destroy our country.
I think Nunes not publicly criticizing GOP leadership may have something to do with all the investigations they had into him and he not wanting to raise anymore alarm bells on what he was trying to do. I’ve watched a lot of interviews were he was given the opportunity to expose Republican leadership but he chose to deflect and focus on the issues.
He will have more power for change outside of Congress. He’s got an opportunity to help tame big tech, while having a big mega phone. I think he’s grown discontented with DC. I do know he is a good Christian man, and will conduct himself with a strong moral back bone at all times. Good luck Devin
Same here. He was one of the few Representatives we have in CA who could be trusted to do his job. The locals in his district persecute him and his family beyond belief though, and I suppose he may have also gotten tired of all the threats he must get. CA is lost anyway, and there is very little that anyone can do anymore. There are no longer honest elections and nothing is going to change until the freebies run out and the entitled ones whose existence depends on these get wise to their Democrat overlords. Or there are no stores left for them to loot anymore.
I LOVE this. Trump hired Nunes because not only is he really smart, he knows where all of the bodies are buried.
Michael Flynn got locked up for the same offense.
wonder if Nunes will move to Florida where he can’t be Michael Flynn’d.
Can Nunes help give President Trump a deeper bench?
He’s also uber loyal, courageous and, as President Trump observed, a battle hardened fighter.
Plus, he’s deeply motivated to destroy the Globalists Media Network. Since early 2017 they have made his life hell and viciously attacked his family and loved ones.
Like Trump, the success of Truth Social and the destruction of the Media Machine is a personal, passionate mission.
Civics 101: The SENATE hires or refuses to hire people to fill ALL political positions.
Presidents only have the authority to hire their personal staff. Personally, I loved Trumps hires like Kaleigh McEnenney, Steve Miller, Peter Navarro, Dan S casino and Dr Atlas.
I’m puzzled when encountering opiners who complain about Trumps hires tbqf.
If Ivanka & Jared are his trusted advisors, we are in big trouble. Who convinced him to hang onto Paul Ryan? Where did Trump get the idea for Comey Jr. for FBI Director, or Jeff “Under the Desk” Sessions, Bill “The Backstabber” Barr? Or how about the fake conservative cowards Kavanaugh and ACB for SCOTUS picks? “Thirty Pieces of Silver” Pence? Trump unfortunately made some disastrous choices for many key positions. Who did he rely on for intel on these people and advice?
I do wholeheartedly support Trump and Devin Nunes will be a great ally to him in the fight against The Obiden/Goebbles Propaganda Ministry.
What will Kash Patel’s position in the company be? I want to work for him.
Kash is currently working with a new PAC. Too lazy to use a search engine to get specifics.
Who gets the Nunes seat on the Gang of Eight?
Not sure right now, but being a bipartisan committee it will be another republican.
One of the GOPe traitors, no doubt. Who do they have the most dirt on?
Oh nooooo!!! Thank goodness this silver cloud might have a sooty lining.
Watch it be Cheney.
Kev needs to be primaried and relieved of his duties. I wouldn’t even mind if CA cheated in his district just to get him gone.
I truly feel the “real” Sundance did not write this article, (as well as others the past couple months). Too much conjecture in the writing for Sundance’s style. One of the main reasons to read CTH is because ALL information is sourced. Something just seems “off” in the stories lately, IMO.
Good grief…. There are fourteen, count them, 14 citations in this article.
Also, if you use the site search feature, you will find dozens more to support it.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/11/30/doj-prosecutors-using-grand-jury-to-subpoena-financial-records-of-2020-election-audit-groups/
I try to give maximum benefit of doubt, but yet outline the reality that is unavoidable. The truth doesn’t care about your feelings.
Sundance, I have no idea what C.Bailey is trying to say to you.
I’m new as a commenter, but as a years long reader, I don’t find anything different in your style of presentation from years of reading.
You’re last statement in your post comment here is that truth defies feelings.
We let our emotions get in the way, but truth, real truth, runs right over that like a Mack truck!
Emotions and truth are often far apart.
Sundance:
Please see my reply to C. Bailey’s comment about you.
Sorry, that pissed me off.
If you or any admins want to remove my comment, fine.
I didn’t use any bad words.
I couldn’t believe that foolish comment.
I am going to stick up for all you when then this kind of shick gets posted!
Bless you in that person’s ignorant face of stupid!
I honestly don’t know how you turn the amount of content out every day, that you do.
It’s like writing 4-6 term papers every single day.
You don’t even take Sunday off! Never a day off !
I sincerely and truly hope you’re making a bloody fortune from this site. You deserve it.
AND NOT ONLY That…BUT THIS SITE GOES WORLD WIDE!!!!!!! I have seen a few references to this site and Sundance’s writing in other forums….OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly. It’s quite astonishing and admirable, really.
He’s doing the work that the entire media conglomerates SHOULD be doing, they with their trillion dollar budget.
I love the visual that it’s one man , by the fire , in his library with his computer but I hope for his sake that it’s a multi million dollar money making operation with lots of support staff.
(The ‘ol Wolverines know when sumpthins’ brewin’ and when sumpthins’ not)
what is your reason for heightened loyalty to Byrne?
give something to help readers warm up to the ‘Carter Page / Papadopoulous Superhero’ that shows up, people near them get screwed, and the’ drop-in’ get ZERO-touched by the FBI.
You “feel” like that!
Are you kidding us on here?!
Maybe you need to check your “feelings” into an emotional-distress-disorder hospital.
You say this stuff, but you don’t offer any substantial evidence.
How dare you get on here and judge!
You have embarrassed yourself here.
Go away!
Maybe he needs to stand under a rock…A VERY SMALL ROCK!!!!!!!
Paid fed troll? It could happen.
If not the real Sundance, who do you think wrote it? Methinks Sundance is over target here and you are trying to cast a shadow.
FBI, is that you? This is online so the snazzy watches, cool high socks, and extra tight short are not visible to give you away. But, that name Carlton Craig Bailey- definitely FIB. The only thing that would make it worse is if you called yourself MAGA MAN Calrton, or Hilda Hillary Hater, or I Love Trump Soooo MUCH BUT I”M NOT FIB.
Patrick “if only I had known I was being used by the FBI to influence my Russian girlfriend” Byrne
A version of the Swalwell defense?
I said it before , and I’ll say it again ……
Trump should be on-air DAILY at a set time on any of the popular show to get a daily briefing out to the people.
Waiting for the ‘ New Network ‘ to go online and be attacked by swamp organs or …. ” INTERNET KILL SWITCH ” is too little , too late.
Consider all they have done so far . It this really a stretch ?
It is not too late. Never give up. Whatever it takes.
I do wish President Trump had done weekly briefings. Set in the most presidential appearing background and delivered concisely and pointedly.
IMO, one of the reasons they may not have done something like this was the brouhaha the RINO’s and Dems kicked up about J6. Had he done anything that gave the appearance of a continued presidency he would have been hammered by the enemedia and opposition.
Not saying I don’t think the American public wouldn’t have benefited from a weekly briefing but just why it likely was not pursued.
Maybe he wants to lessen Trump Fatigue. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
As a contrarian, I respectfully disagree.
First and foremost, 2 of the 3 legs of the Democrat plan (politics for 2022) involve running against “Trump”;
the “Insurrection Investigation report” and the “alternative Mueller (Weismann) report.
With PDJT’s relatively low profile since 2020 election aftermath, the Dems running against him looks lame.
Secondly, the optics just isn’t that great, objectively.
Looks like a former POTUS, who can’t step back from the role.
This rope-a-dope strategy, where he makes the occasional statement, but then steps away for up to several weeks is practical.
Sure, as his fans we would like to see him rallying every day, but is it good tactics or strategy? I think not.
I understand the practicality of having President Trump out of the spotlight for weeks at a time. I appreciate your take on the optics of a man that can’t walk away.
I’m not convinced it is the best strategy because we, the American people, are getting slammed almost daily with radical infringements on our liberty. Radical legislation pushed through on a partisan basis by an exceptionally narrowly controlled House and Senate.
There is comfort in having a sane, clear voice stating how far things have gone astray. I said weekly but every other week, every three weeks would work. We need it.
We need a voice that solidifies a movement. If not Donald Trump, then someone that is reliable and has the same values. No other voice, as yet, has the same pull as PDJT.
I wish we had a good orator that would take the time to explain how far afield our government has drifted, what steps are needed to rectify it and have the same optimism and faith in our country that PDJT did.
I miss Rush. We could use another Paul Harvey.
It’s simply not a good time to be scant on strong voices that are have the interests of the American people at heart.
You might want to check in on the War Room. Several of Trump’s allies are on as regular guest.
Tough Love Dad, Trump, needs you, and all Americans, to grow up and learn to think for yourself and figure out how to help without being told.
Its time to seek out many voices to inspire you, NOT lead you.
President Trump is trying to wean Americans off their need for Daddys and/or Mommys. In order to survive, Americas must Wake Up and realize THEY are responsible for their lives and communities.
I miss Rush a lot too. I have been enjoying the many voices interviewed by Jan Jekielek at The Epoch Times’ American Thought Leaders. Jan has a sub-series with Cash Patel and his perspective is also quite interesting. I also keep an eye on their China In Focus news by Tiffany Meier (no relation).
When your enemy is digging themselves into a hole, don’t stop them. I agree Trump would distract at this point from the disasterous dem administration.
Dutch- to your point, a few very liberal people I converse with (not friends or anything) have said something to that point- why do the Dems keep bringing Trump into this, he’s not President. He’s not anyone anymore…why why why (all in that screechy dem voice).
He’s a little repetitive. I hope he has some folks keeping him up to date, and developing some future actionable plans. (The Declass never happened.)
Ugly days.
The declass DID happen. Durham got everything.
Of course “he’s a little repetitive”. Thank God.
That’s why he’s regarded as possibly the greatest persuader of all times.
His repetions are like song hooks and advertising jingles. Memorable.
What other famous person has said so many things that millions remember? Hmmmm.
Perhaps read Scott Adams primer on persuasion, Trumps techniques and why they’re persuasion genius.
Anyone know Nunes opine on the vaxx? Maybe he can read conservatives sites and convince Trump to either change his tune and fight w/us, or just shut up about it.
let Ben Carson lead that, and the next HHS/NIH
The vaccine works for the short term. It would be best if Trump only cautioned that long term affects of this vax won’t be in for 5 years. He already thinks it should be a voluntary treatment. I hope monoclonal antibodies become standard for everyone that needs them and we escape this severe repression and push on peoples to get vaxxed.
that is your opinion. the data shows otherwise.
Monoclonal antibodies and therapeutics like HCQ were part of Operation Warp Speed.
Two people Trump elevated by hiring them to be on his staff, Peter Navarro and Dr Atlas, have been Trumps covid surrogates, since Trumps neither a doctor or scientist and would trigger TDS if he opined.
They’ve been doing interviews every day and are brutally honest.
Waaaaaaaahhh Daddy Trump, give me what I want right noooooowww!!!
Vaxx fearfuls are soooo obsessive .
This mean that Nunes will now stop sending me emails looking for rnc donations?
Consider it done!
I regularly got snail mail (not emails) from Nunes asking for donations to HIM as House Rep, never for the RNC. As a Californian and proud of Nunes as our State Rep, I’ve donated directly to him at his Visalia office address, and NEVER to the RNC.
45 is going to war. He is amassing his commanders and tactical weapons to completely destroy those that opposed him. I actually feel sorry for some of these sell outs. Hell will be upon them. And they thought he would just go away?
IMO, we do not have long to wait.
There is no need to feel sorry for them. They have been abusing the American people for years and years. Why feel sorry for someone who has caused nothing but needless misery to the American people and want to cause more debilitating misery?
He’s been at war. So have they. Imo like a deadly, stealth sub, he’s surfacing. Code Red.
Well, I think all this Lin Wood, Mike Flynn and Patrick Byrne drama is becoming more noise than anything substantive.
Noise is a great distraction during an information World War and I truly believe we have been in that situation since 2019.
I have no idea how this will end, however, I do believe that PDJT has a Plan (which most likely is flexible) and I do trust him.
Again, I continue to remember this statement from Wilbur Ross: “Underestimate Donald J. Trump at your own peril.”
Pres. Trump and Senator Nunez know Patrick Byrne; that’s good enough for me.
It’s Congressman Nunes but I get your point. I’d say the reliable senators could be readily counted on one hand.
I don’t have a lot of confidence in Byrne given his associations and his vociferous declarations of non-party affiliation.
Most reasoning people have made some kind of logical assessment regarding the democrat party at this point.
If I recall Byrne’s account, he said he fanaygeled his way into the oval office on the coattails of Michael Flynn an had a brief interaction with Donald Trump. After that he recounted heading down to Florida for a followup meeting but was turned away by security.
Byrne is a highly intelligent operative and I’d not consider this “noise”. If he is involved at the lower levels of this technology, there is great danger.
Danger for whom?
Certainly not an apex predator like Trump who’s thrived in the global shark tank since the 80s.
Fyi Trumps a famous devotee of Sun Tzu and The Art of War which teaches how to win with minimal casualties. How? Via skillful deception.
Relevance?
Art of War has an entire chapter on the different kinds of spies and their unique uses. How many kinds of spies did Sun Tzu identify? Seven, including triple agents. 😘
Byrne may be “highly intelligent, however he’s led a comparatively sheltered life and is definitely not a genius like Trump. Not even close.
Thanks for reminding me of that great Wilbur Ross quote. Wilbur would know. 😘
Byrnes was first compromised by the Deep State during the Russian Hoax – as reported by Sundance on August 23, 2019. They monitor his email and other communications – as they do most prominent people. He may or may not be a “willing” participant.
Trump needs to fork a Linux distribution and maximize stealth, privacy, and secrecy into desktop and server versions and then throw in a mail server and VPN service. Oh, and do a phone too.
I think there are enough forks of Linux to pick the best and most open, then keep it that way with proper governance..
Extreme attention needs to be put ton interoperbility standards, allowing any social media to be viewed with the user’s app of choice. e.g. email formats
And as always, free is not free. If the app is free, the owner of the platform makes money selling data. If the owners is making money on our data, they must preserve their silo. (many excellent exceptions apply)
President Trump, an OCD tier researcher, started planning this loong ago.
He and his team have already decided what he “needs to” do.
Perhaps pray that he and his allies succeed now that the long planned for war has officially begun.
Ha! I guessed the same.
My 1st impression of him, based on this interview below, was that he was a bit of a nut & is a serial exaggerator.
Dang! Imagine if Trump get 50 million followers (many people don’t use Social M.)in the US alone, plus another 100 million abroad. How will the swamp cover that up?
Imagine Trump getting more followers than Hussein Obama? They will launch more bots to boost D’s numbers.
Byrne investment of a million dollars doesn’t seem like enough to even let him in the back office, let alone access to any internal documents. However…
…there was a time that I doubted SD to the point that I questioned him. Quite publicly. SD promptly ripped my testicles from my body and…and…God I still can’t talk about it without weeping and shaking uncontrollably. My therapist promised me it would get better. But it’s been 4 agonizing years.
Whatever SD says, I’ll agree with him in this matter. BUT ONLY BECAUSE HE’S RIGHT. NOT BECAUSE OF…OF…of. Excuse me. I need to go lay down and try to bring my heart rate back under 200 beats a minute!
Wow,…just wow. Sorry for your loss.
I have respectfully disagreed with Sundance in my comments, and I guess I am lucky, cause I am still,…intact.
Mostly it was on matters of the “take” on a situation, not on facts, perhaps thats why I still have em?
Ha!
Here is another event for the sequence…

Internet infrastructure company RightForge to host Trump’s TRUTH Social– Axios
https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/internet-infrastructure-company-rightforge-to-host-trumps-truth-social-axios-2655670
Excerpts:
-(Reuters) – Internet infrastructure firm RightForge will host former U.S. President Donald Trump’s new social media platform, the hosting company’s Chief Executive Officer Martin Avila told Axios.
-Trump is set to launch his own social media app, TRUTH Social, that he said would “stand up to Big Tech” companies such as Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) and Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) that have barred him from their platforms.
-RightForge, which provides services such as web hosting and runs a network of servers, says it offers a platform where legal content is “safe from censorship” and is “built for free speech and a free press.”
-RightForge was building a global network in response to the de-platforming of Trump and Parler, and the Trump team approached the company over the summer, Avila told Axios.
Here’s another article posted two days later on 10/28/21…
The web hosting service for Trump’s TruthSocial says it expects the platform to reach 75 million users
https://www.insider.com/web-hosting-trumps-truthsocial-expects-platform-hit-75-million-users-2021-10
The Democommunists get rid of Nunes, the Decepticons get rid of Nunes, not exactly a win in there. Trump media only matters to the extent that they can counter the Uniparty’s false narratives and hoaxes with the general public not the choir.
WHAT could Congressman Nunes possibly do, NOW as a member of Congress, to forward our cause?
Absolutely NOTHING as he was hamstrung by Congressional Republican Leadership.
So, its no loss, at this point.
Washington DC is a snake pit and Nunes has spent years fighting the good fight.
A news organization is a good way to utilize Trump’s massive support within the country and spill sunlight onto the dirty dealings in the swamp.
Remember how many followed Trump on twitter and how he lit up that site. No reason to think he can’t do the same with his own organization.
I think Trump will be effective and so does the swamp.
I hope Trump Media has a fact-checker segment that counters the main stream media. That alone would be enjoyable to see.
Your GUESS is that gaining Nunes to be Trumps Truth Social CEO is “not exactly a win”? Ok. However please note, President Trump disagrees. He obviously has better Intel and so does Nunes. Perhaps reconsider and choose to be comfy with their decision, especially since neither make huuuge decisions like this impulsively.
Btw I see no evidence supporting claims that our adversaries got ” rid of Nunes “. In fact, Nunes just massively powered up and finally could pose an existential threat to the “Democommunists” and “Decepticons”.
Bottom line, its a done deal that neither you or I will alter.
Perhaps use a search engine to find and then say, The Serenity Prayer rather than fret posting?
You MUST read this!
It’s got me way confused now!!
https://news.gab.com/2021/12/02/gab-is-not-for-sale/
This is what I mention below. I do not see anyone trying to build an open, competitive, free market of social media apps, interoperability and content sharing.
I do not see anyone ensuring that we, users, own our data.
No technical reason for example, I should not be able to read and share someone’s tweet on Gab. Or any other number of combinations.
“I do not see”. That does NOT mean that what you want to see isn’t there. Agreed?
How hard are you looking? Would you realize what you were looking at if you did “see”?
Bottom line, its out of your hands and mine. Perhaps rejoice in the gift received rather than missing out on enjoying your PRESENT because you wanted something a bit different than what you got?
As Trumps old rally ending song says, ” You can’t always get what you want but if you try, you just might find, you get what you need”.
From my experience, that’s a good thing, not a bad thing.
I’m not sure what is confusing. I imagine there was an effort to bring Gab into the fold, under the same umbrella. It makes good business sense to attempt it.
Torba says no and throws shade at Rumble and PDJT associates.
It seems Torba is saying he will fight to hold his share of the new landscape. It doesn’t surprise me.
That is what the free market is supposed to be.
Torba has been through the wringer and is still standing. He was parlered before parler. They took away his payment processing, hosting, servers, everything. I’d be super cautious too. Most.recent was porn bots en masse trying to take down the platform. Wherever they came from, they’ve been defeated.
Torba offered Trump Intel around the Tech Tyrants moves, as did other beta “tests” like Parler.
Torbas been salty ever since he realized that Trump wasn’t joining his or anyone else’s platform. Pride goeth before booms.
I hear you hoosiertruthfan, though for example, I don’t see a lot of car companies dissing other car companies or <name your free enterprise company> in its competitive sphere. Instead, western enterprises speak to their own strengths and don’t bad mouth their competitors as a way to win market share. Torba calls TMTG and Rumble “grifters.” I know a grifter when I see one and TMTG and Rumble are not grifters. HRC is a grifter.
If reading got you confused than toxic Torbas mission was accomplished.
Note how Torba litters his announcement with emotionally charged bait words and phrases like “gRiFtErS”.
Also, anyone who has even a rudimentary knowledge of issues surrounding the type of deal Trumps doing, knows that Torba is either destructively clueless or intentionally preying on clueless gullibles who, sadly, trust him.
Currently, Torbas poisonous impact is huge, as you illustrate. Consequently he’s become the focus for daily prayers.
Hopefully, Saul Torbas Road to Damascus moment will happen soon.
I got this in an email this morning and suspect Torba fears Trump is breaking his rice bowl. I had several reactions, none positive for Torba or Gab. As a result, I deleted my Gab account earlier today. In a nutshell: Torba complained about Rumble adding “ban of ‘hate speech’ and ‘anti-semitism’; he is bitter Trump is doing big $ deals before releasing his product; Torba talked with Trump people but declined a deal; and Torba uses “Jesus is King” below his signature. From my perspective, Torba rubs me the wrong way. His words are divisive, not inclusive just like hate speech and anti-semitism are divisive. Finally, I would not use Jesus name as part of my marketing strategy.
I spent a career in this field. If the platforms are not built on widely available open source and open standards, another silo will be created.
Maybe it is too late for anti-trust, but it is not to late to build anew on open source and true open standards. That is the only way to stop monopolies.
Byrne fooled me. He goes way back in CFR
https://www.cfr.org/news-releases/council-establishes-fellowship-honor-general-john-w-vessey-jr
The CFR Membership Roster (link) – Byrne is listed as a member.
And there’s his August 12 2019 press release that he helped the FBI’s “‘Clinton Investigation’ and the ‘Russian Investigation'” against President Trump.
It’s a pity there’s not a FBI membership roster.
I know many here dismiss Lin Wood, but he been quietly and methodically drawing out Patrick Byrne and how Byrne set up Sidney Powell.
Indeed. Love Linn. Byrne? Nope.
Have to also consider who else is involved / invested in Rumble or TMTG via equity funds or private investment funds?
Names like Peter Theil, Jon Iadonisi, Patrick Orlando, JD Vance.
Interesting dynamics? 🤔
Many, many people, as President Trump said repeatedly during the 2016 campaign, can be dreadful human beings yet still be extremely helpful.
From my experience that’s profoundly true.
Now I tend to see individuals as a buffet. I pick and choose what I want from what they offer. I do NOT have to love or even like everything.
Yep.
I have been following Lin Wood and Ezra Cohen Watnick on Telegram and both are weary of Byrne.
Lin Wood has taken some hits on his reliability lately.
Of course he has. All the good guys always get hit when they become “problematic”. Trumps been hit 24/7 for ages. Lol.
Tracking the flakk, where its coming from and when offers evocative intel.
If you want a very deep dive on what’s going on behind the scenes watch this interview with Patel Patriot.
Patel Patriot is the creator of the Devolution series which is a dynamic theory on how President Trump is working behind the series to fight the Derp State and the election theft.
‘His theories are based on factual events, executive orders created by PDJT that are still in place as well as connecting the dots with quiet, almost buried news releases.
‘There’s no “ hopium “ or “ stringing you along “ nonsense. It’s not even a monetized site. He’s a calm, factual, non sensational researcher with excellent observations and Intel on actual events and happenings.
https://americanmediaperiscope.com/msom-ep-383-the-lindell-operation-with-patel-patriot/
https://www.devolution.link/
Patel carries on where others left off.
As impatients were reminded, back in 2020, this is NOT a sprint but a marathon, a marathon relay race, a race we ALL are part of in one way or many.
I enjoy listening to Patel Patriot and his fresh take on old intel.
Thank you, Sundance. If it looks like a duck….
type “Patrick Byrne” into the treehouse search box , read all about it
Our Great American President Donald J Trump is far from done. While a blizzard of swamp demons were buzzing around his presidency he was taking notes. It doesn’t have anything to do with 5-D Chess, tick-tock…how about self-preservation.
When he stepped onto the field of politics at the level of POTUS and dared win, twice, he put a target on his back and his families back that you can see from the Space Station. You can’t win a battle in a crouch so like the warrior that he is, he’s going on offense.
As far as Patrick Byrne is concerned he could be acting as controlled opposition or trying to play both sides of the field, heads I win tails you lose. We”ll see. I trust President Trump, he’s earned it and he’s nobody’s fool.
It would not be inconcievable that the intel agencies would want someone close to Trump. Byrne appears to be someone “maverick” and truthful enough to convince us and Trump that he is on our side. He resigned from Overstock, his own company, to save it from SEC investigation, if I recall? He had been friends with that Russian girl the FBI wanted to get into Trump’s circle and he disclosed that plan?
I would hope he is not a spy still.
If IC hoped that Byrne would get “close to Trump” their hopes have been dashed. Poor things. /s.
Well, what is Byrne’s motive? I know. Just would like to see less moles and more patriots. I pray the power guys know or suspect what you have outlined. Thank you, Sundance.
Great adversaries bring out the best in great warriors.
“Less moles” would be super boring and lower Trumps energy levels.
Fortunately, like Andrew Jackson, Trump was made for storms, calms do NOT suit him.
God wins we seem to forget he is. Coming back and America is not his home. Isreal is his home in fact his throne sits above the state. One Angel wiped out 180,000 soldiers one evening. One man per tent sent the other 180,000 scrambling. Omni present Omni potent. When we are looking thru the key hole into DC God sees and knows all. In fact us CHRISTIANS know we are covered by JESUS Blood and are not afraid of loosing this life as he will not loose one. Trump was a nice reprieve America is not going to recover unless we have a huge revival asking him for more time similar to Nineveh. God Bless
Which is why, in late 2017, President Trump officially called for a Great Awakening in America.
The first Great Awakening, a spiritual revival that swept the colonies, laid the foundations that made our successful American Revolution and the birth of our Republic, possible.
Our Great Awakening is inspiring Americans to reconnect with God so He can work with us and through us to save what was born due to our fore fathers Awakening.
Lot of parallels between him and Ray Epps…
Gab was bombarded by porn bots and there was speculation that it was TMTG/Rumble. Add with Sundance ‘s info and it makes sense.
Suspected by whom? Toxic Torba?
Byrne is an FBI asset.
He helped FBI frame that Russian carrot top Butina (who wasn’t an actual spy) and bragged about it on his blog –Deep Capture.
I mean when a guy is telling you to your face ‘I am reporting all “suspicious activities” to the FBI,’ would you still want this guy around or let him invest in your company especially if you are not a “regime supporter?”
My guess is Byrne was trying to get Trump to do something risky or illegal in the aftermath of November “election”. Trump found out and cut him off. Again, Byrne wrote about how Secret Service told him to leave when he arrived at Mar-a-Lago for a meeting with Trump. Again, just read his (Byrn’s) blog..
Nunes also can pick up the phone and call virtually anyone in Congress to head off their inevitable harassment.
Someone like PDJT — a new movement leader — is going to attract a lot of interesting people.
There will be those who cozy up to you for the benefit to them, but aren’t really part of the cause. They aren’t necessarily enemies, but they are in it for themselves, and cannot be fully trusted.
There will be those that pretend to be part of your cause but secretly working in opposition to you.
There will be those that believe in your cause but are unbalanced in some way, and attracted to the limelight. Some will be better at hiding their weirdness than others and it may take a while to realize they just aren’t right.
There will be some that are true believers, and not nuts, but just not particularly effective.
Then finally there are those that believe in the cause and can actually accomplish something.
IMO, the 2016 election season moved along too rapidly for PDJT to fully be able to distinguish who was in what category — except for his economic team that he knew well. He has now had more time to put together a team that can be trusted, and is in the process of doing so.
Perhaps. However, Trumps ability to immediately size people up is legendary. He’s successfully dealt with the worlds snakes for decades. And his motto since the 80s has been “listen to everyone but trust no one”.
Sometimes I wonder if some opiners project their confusion onto Trump imagining that if they were fooled or didn’t know then he didn’t either.
Sundance, at first when I saw this I thought about what Lin Wood has been writing about (on Telegram) for weeks now. Your dot connecting totally conforms to Lin’s conjectures. Michael Flynn also figures into this somehow. I hope that President Trump is not deceived again by turncoats.
“Deceived again”? When was he ” deceived” in any meaningful way?
IQ inquisitive are always testing, learning, adjusting and, consequently, improving.
THE GREAT RESET “I do not think you know what that word means”. (Princess bride)
Consult psalms 2
These crazies are in a fevered state digging to hell. They feel the heat in the soil in their hands and they get all giddy knowing they are getting close.
The pit they dig is for themselves, states it over and over and over in the manual.
And if your taking these shots, your standing to close to these morons digging.
I’m still waiting for the results of Nunes lawsuit against Schiff and the telecoms for getting his communications.
I’m still waiting … 2 years later.
“I’m still waiting….2 years later”.
Lol. How to say you’re unfamiliar with the pace of lawfare without saying you’re unfamiliar with the pace of lawfare. 😘
Didn’t you post an article about Byrne stepping down from Overstock because he was involved with the FBI? I recently listened to the audio of Byrne posted by Lin Wood (who I can’t really decide if he’s gone off the deep end or he’s just a religious fanatic), regardless Byrne is a snake. A real slithering weasel of a snake. He’s wiggled his way into Trumps world and I strongly suspect there is a solid reason. Guy definitely gives off, run from me now vibes. I too, would suspect Patrick Byrne of a number of things given his proximity to a group he professed to be against initially. Plus he’s worked for the FBI and then got involved with the girl who was his target. MindF**K all around with those two spies.
“who I can’t really decide if he’s gone off the deep end or he’s just a religious fanatic”
Precisely what he wants his enemies to think.
A man of deep faith and a very skilled lawyer who has been in the belly of the beast.
I think Strzok’s wife or ex-wife is at SEC.
She’s not the only plant but you know what I mean.
Meanwhile, Chinese firms with terrible financials are introduced to US investors all the time?
Go back and look at my posts here for the last year. I had Patrick Byrne pegged as a Deep State spy all along. It was obvious to me. I think the Lawyer from Atlanta is the same (Hanitys buddy).
Fortunately, President Trump thrives in these high stakes real life Game of Thrones situations. That’s when he powers up. He gets bored when things aren’t insanely high stress.
He was born for this war and trained his whole life to win it, with our help. Imo.
♦ December 06 – SEC opens an investigation of the equity fundraising through DWAC. “Trading of Digital World’s shares has driven TMTG’s valuation from $875 million in October to close to $4 billion.”
The left is so incompetent and corrupt they can not fathom investing in a company that consumers want. The democrats NEVER accomplish anything without deceit, corruption, and insider information so they must investigate because they know rot and lawbreaking better than anyone.
I hope this company hires a leveraged buyout expert and aggressively goes after any of the alphabet media eventually forcing a buyout giving Trumps company a channel for their new truth news. Wouldn’t it be excellent if CNN were bought by Trump and he gets to fire almost every single one of them?
