Barack Obama and Eric Holder did not create a weaponized DOJ and FBI; instead, what they did was take the preexisting system and retool it, so the weapons only targeted one side of the political continuum. This point is where many people get confused, it is also the most critical element that Washington DC must hide in the aftermath.
The systems of government were retooled during the administration of Barack Obama to fundamentally change the nature of the relationship between government and the American people. Their success in that objective is the discomfort you see, feel and deal with every day.
The people who created the Fourth Branch of Government used every tool in their arsenal to outlast and remove Donald Trump; then they turned to the one cognitively challenged candidate who would not be a threat to the construct, Joe Biden, and installed him through fraud and mail-in ballots. Everything is downstream from this construct.
Prior to 9/11/01 the greatest threat to government was considered to be from outside the U.S, vis-a-vis terrorism. After 9/11/01 the greatest threat was redefined, Americans were now considered the threat, the enemy tracking radar was turned around to look inside America.
In the era shortly after 9/11, the DC national security apparatus was constructed to preserve continuity of government and simultaneously view all Americans as potential threats. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) were created specifically for this purpose.
DHS and ODNI were created because Americans were now the threat to government. Stop. Pause. Think. You are taking off your shoes at the airports because YOU are the threat. You pass through body scanners because YOU are the threat. Stop. Pause. Think. How does that define your relationship with government?
Fast forward five years – What Barack Obama and Eric Holder did with that new surveillance and security construct was refine the internal targeting mechanisms so that only their political (ideological) opposition became the target of the new national security system.
This distinction is very important to understand as you dig deeper into this research outline.
Washington DC created the modern national security apparatus immediately and hurriedly after 9/11/01. DHS came along in 2002 and within the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 the ODNI was formed.
When Barack Obama and Eric Holder arrived a few years later, those newly formed institutions were viewed as opportunities to create a very specific national security apparatus that would focus almost exclusively against their political opposition.
The preexisting Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Dept of Justice (DOJ) were then repurposed to become two of the four pillars of the domestic national security apparatus. However, this new construct would have a targeting mechanism based on political ideology. The DHS, ODNI, DOJ and FBI became the four pillars of this new institution. Atop these pillars is where you will find the Fourth Branch of Government.
We were not sleeping when this happened, we were wide awake. However, we were stunningly distracted by the economic collapse that was taking place in 2006 and 2007 when the engineers behind Obama started to assemble the design. By the time Obama took office in 2009, we sensed something profound was shifting, but we can only see exactly what shifted in the aftermath. The four pillars were put into place, and a new Fourth Branch of Government was quietly created.
As time passed, and the system operators became familiar with their new tools, technology allowed the tentacles of the system to reach out and touch us. That is when we first started to notice that something very disconcerting was happening. Those four pillars are the root of it, and if we take the time to understand how the Fourth Branch originated, questions about this current state of perpetual angst will start to make sense.
Grab a cup of your favorite beverage and take a walk with me as we outline how this was put together. You might find many of the questions about our current state of political affairs beginning to make a lot more sense.
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, as 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 with 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 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].
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).
Also, watch this short video of James Clapper because it is likely many readers have forgotten, and likely even more readers have never seen it. Watch closely how then White House national security adviser John Brennan is responding in that video. This is before Brennan became CIA Director, this is when Brennan was helping Barack Obama put the pillars into place. WATCH:
[Sidebar: Every time I post this video it gets scrubbed from YouTube (example), so save it if you ever want to see it again.]
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 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 mideast 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 is 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 midterm “shellacking” caused by the 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, 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, Devin 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 Chairman 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 a 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 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 preexisting list…. admitting the group (aka Big Tech) already have access to the the intelligence-sharing database… and also admitting there is a preexisting 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 preexisting 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, the short-sighted legislative reactions opened the door to allow the surveillance state to weaponize.
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 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 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 and deconstruct the Intelligence Branch, but it requires some outside-the-box thinking and reliance on the Constitution as a tool to purposefully change one element within government, the 17th amendment. 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. Make sure your local officials represent your values. This is your immediate tribe.
• 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 State House, State Senate and State Governor. Make sure your state officials are prepared to defend your state interests from federal intervention. Support only candidates who support states rights.
• Tier Three the challenge of “federal offices” on a national level. Federal government needs to be cut down in size. The ODNI and DHS need to be taken down and removed from power. A repeal of the 17th amendment is a nuclear political weapon detonated in the heart of the swamp.
Tier ZERO, repeal of ballot harvesting, 30 day vote period, one day vote, voter ID, no networked ballot counting, repeal of jungle primaries….
…
And I thought Sundance was done with a touch of the Wu Hu Flu! Bravo, nice write up.
Listening to a True The Vote spokesperson today I realized something that I had not properly appreciated.
Everything we are looking at today, from being Pelosied, hammered by Crookedcrats and betrayed by Uniparty shills, every spittle and bit first and foremost arises from election and ballot integrity failures and maladministration of voter rolls and election processes.
Amidst the obvious stands a not-so-obvious truth. What the 501(c)4 and Transnational Billionaire funding to corrupt and fifth column our election and secretary of state offices have most destructively caused is perhaps the most alarming reality of all.
The incredibly poor quality of person dominating elective public office and institutional high station today. Perhaps this is the greatest crisis we face.
The QUALITY of the politician and the QUALITY of the stewardship and trustee performance in our representative form of government depends upon the quality of the person and the integrity of their mutualism.
The appalling evidence of prevaricating, cowardly, self-interested and destructive species of political poultry is all around us; festooned with grand strut and cluck, voraciously gobbling up every dollar of opportunity they can manage to consume to nourish themselves and crow about it.
Without people of quality and integrity in the halls of power and elective office, what we see now is what we have selected for. We endure a veritable sh*t storm of prevarication, duplicity, graft and incompetence from persons of low character and high conceit.
No lie they can possibly tell is a bigger lie than the life they live and how they have chosen to live it. So they lie and lie and lie. That’s how they live.
Election and ballot integrity are everything in a representative democracy.
Everything flows from there, whether circling the drain or lifting all boats to sail into a yet greater future.
Excellent.
Now that is good writing! Spot on!
Elections are the gateway to power. Seize the election process, seize power.
What we witnessed last night was the latest convulsion of that “political poultry” of which you speak. It was their grand mal reaction to us finding out that truth.
The appearance on the political scene of a very popular outsider-candidate—an anti-globalist who became a very successful President—say unbeatable incumbent three times—who eventually received nearly 75 million votes—Donald Trump—generated an overzealous desire by fourth estate powers to get rid of him.
The lurch to mail in ballots, the use of forensically finagled computers in order to defeat him, the manipulation and manufacturing of votes for an enfeebled candidate—the most sedentary of presidential campaigners, Joe Biden, who incomprehensibly received 81 million votes, more than any candidate in the history of the US—raised grave public suspicion of a rigged election. It has brought more eyes to the corrupted election process that has taken hold in the United States.
Thanks to President Trump, we now know the truth about how elections work in America. Elections are a Big Lie. They are rigged. And when we point this out, we are the ones charged with sedition for undermining the trust Americans have or have had in free and fair elections.
Absolutely spot on, but why has it taken so long for”our side” to realize this and do something about it?
I am a life long registered Republican who has worked in local NY politics for over 30 years. I have done it all including running for office, helping others get elected, setting up campaigns, etc. etc.
Even in the town and village level, the Dems have a better ground game and know how to cheat and not get caught. I just watched my county, once solid Red Republican, turn purple and in some cases solid Demo-Commie because the Republican “leaders” were nothing but thug crooks who cared only for lining their pockets.
The county chair just had to resign and ALL of our elections including the congressional race, have been put in disarray. And this is the year when the Dems are so horrible that we might actually have a chance to WIN even the governor’s race.
The Dems had nothing to do with this. It was ALL the disgusting degenerates who run the GOP. This is what our President Trump was up against from the minute he announced he was running.
PS- sad to say there is no way to start another party successfully.
“there is no way to start another party successfully.”
I think the Grand Old Party has to crash and burn first for that to happen.
As your own experience and observation indicates, it is the GOP that is on the path to it’s own destruction. It will eventually crash and burn.
The Democrats who have fled or walked away from their own leftist blaze are more inclined to be with us.
However the cheating Dem leftists—the new totalitarians—will survive, finding replacements, as they are, south of the border. As the weaker or “stupid party” becomes ashes, it is only then and from those ashes a new party, out of dire necessity will rise.
I must say: Hush yo mouth!
Until they pulled off the Steal of the Century, it was the Donkey party that was swirling around the rim of the toilet. Does anyone think that Joe Biden’s term can save the Dimocrats from further self-destruction? I don’t. But they might if Republicans roll over and play dead like they have so many times before.
A Republican majority in the Senate and House without a horse’s arse such as McConnell in charge would provide an opportunity to get the train back on the rails – no matter who sits in the Oval Office.
The QUALITY of the politician and the QUALITY of the stewardship and trustee performance in our representative form of government depends upon the quality of the person and the integrity of their mutualism.
Not sure we should ever depend upon the quality of our politicians. Politicians are nearly always self-serving. They usually are the first to know which way the wind is blowing. Even the spineless RINO Republicans we have today would back the other side (us) IF they thought we were winning.
Election and ballot integrity are everything in a representative democracy.
Yes, we’ve taken the eye off the ball, and/or don’t cheat nearly as well as our opponents.
And don’t forget democracy’s Achilles heal–the ability of people to vote themselves other peoples’ money. It takes a long time for the Achilles heal to emerge but it was always there and is certainly evident now.
We might need to consider the quality of We the People too. Look around. It ‘aint 1776 anymore.
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
John Adams
Have read that a thousand times, and quoted it often myself. But who is he kidding? In what country at that time was there a moral and religious people? If there was, why didn’t we just copy their way of government?
And if he was serious, he should have known that that wouldn’t/couldn’t last long.
Since Obama, I’ve often wondered what the founders’ sense of the potential longevity of their experiment would be.
“A Republic, if you can keep it,” is way more realistic.
The solution is quite simple and cost effective:
Vote in person.
Vote with a photo ID.
Vote on election day.
Vote say from 7.00am to 9.00pm.
Vote counting to start immediately and till complete with no numbers released till done.
This will massively reduce irregularities and fraud.
But how could blacks and other minorities do that you racist!
repeal of jungle primaries
YES!
During a news conference on Capitol Hill, Kevin McCarthy was asked whether he still agreed with his own public and private comments following the Jan. 6 protests that former President Donald Trump bore some of the responsibility for the violence.
“Look, I’ve answered that many times,” McCarthy responded. “I thought everybody in the country bore some responsibility based on what has been going on — the riots in the streets, the others.”
His “everybody in the country” crap is just like the liberal fatigue where they have nothing to say, nothing that would support their position, and they fake out with “there’s enough blame to go around for both sides.” Hopefully, McCarthy will not be in a prime position after November elections, but some other Republican will be speaker. What a nitwit. No wonder the country is failing.
Thanks for Nothing –

Trump wholeheartedly endorsed him. We are being played.
Stop it
At this point taking over the House is of utmost importance! Choosing a Speaker would come afterwards. That is when someone has to make a case for another congressman to take McCarthy’s place, and ask for president Trump’s endorsement at that time.

If I recall Trump endorsed him for his seat, not as speaker

First, question – is this correct?
Who ran FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane and worked for both the CIA and FBI at the same time in the summer of 2016 Peter Strzok. So this should mean that the directors of the CIA and FBI knew Russia Collusion is a Hoax from the summer of 2016. Meaning, all that happen down stream is tainted and treasonous.
BUT, how do you get anyone in the government to prosecute, given all the information, that Sundance has laid out for us?
>>>—–>Hellman’s testimony is the clearest evidence yet that the FBI knew from the start that one of the two major components of the Trump Russia collusion narrative – the Alfa Bank data – was false. As the March 6 notes show, they concealed this fact from their DOJ superiors.
So where are those notes.

*****************************************
In a surprising move, Sussmann’s defense team last week disclosed three sets of handwritten Department of Justice (DOJ) notes of a March 6, 2017 meeting between high-ranking DOJ and FBI officials. Durham gave the notes written by DOJ officials Tashina Gauhar, Mary McCord, and Scott Schools to Sussmann’s team as part of Durham’s discovery obligations.
While the notes contain a one-line hearsay suggestion that may cast doubt on Sussmann’s earlier claim that he was not representing anyone, their broader significance lies in what they reveal about the FBI’s strategy in the months leading up to the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller in May 2017.
In fact, the notes are the very first documents to have been released to the public that show what the FBI was telling the DOJ about the predication and status of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation only two weeks before FBI Director James Comey’s shock announcement to the House Intelligence Committee on March 20, 2017, that the Trump campaign was being investigated by the FBI for ties to the Kremlin. It was Comey’s announcement that ultimately led to the appointment of Mueller.
The DOJ had a legal responsibility to supervise the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation, which, as a “sensitive matter,” placed special oversight and due diligence obligations on the DOJ and additional reporting and due diligence obligations on the FBI. The March 6 meeting was a key milestone in those due diligence obligations.
The FBI was represented at the meeting by three of its top officials: Deputy Director Andy McCabe, Counterintelligence Executive Assistant Director Bill Priestap, and Counterintelligence Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok. The DOJ was also represented by top-level officials, led by Acting Attorney General Dana Boente. Boente was taking the place of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who had recused himself only four days previously.
The notes reveal a pattern of repeated lies and omissions by FBI leadership to DOJ officials that concealed the dramatic deterioration of the predicate for the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. As the predication deteriorated, so too was the purported justification for Comey’s public reveal of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.
>>>—–>The significance of the FBI’s lies was accentuated this week at Sussmann’s trial when Scott Hellman, an FBI cyber analyst, testified that he knew right away in September 2016 that Sussmann’s data did not suggest any covert communications between Trump and Russia. Hellman added that he wondered if the person who put together the data was suffering from a mental disability.
>>>—–>Hellman’s testimony is the clearest evidence yet that the FBI knew from the start that one of the two major components of the Trump Russia collusion narrative – the Alfa Bank data – was false. As the March 6 notes show, they concealed this fact from their DOJ superiors.

“Have you ever wondered who’s pulling the strings? … Anything we touch is a weapon. We can deceive, persuade, change, influence, inspire. We come in many forms. We are everywhere.”

‘Oh what a tangled web we weave’ – the immortal truism.
Didn’t watch the clown show but caught a clip online featuring Ray Epps commanding his FBI informants to attack police as lib media caught it all in technicolor. Later a guy on Tucker suggested we have a larger investigation about Jan 6. NO WE DON’T. We need to quit playing like the Washington Generals. Don’t let the left dictate to you what is important.
I read that the Capital Police attacked first.
I did not watch the J6 primetime special with the fancy producer who shares the same agent as Matthey McConaughey, but, I did read last night that they edited out Ray Epps from the footage last night in their BOMBSHELL testimony.
Airport TSA is the equivalent of a state border checkpoint. Tracking our movements, probably scanning our phones.
Scannable documents. Scannable phones. Facial recognition technology. Full body scans. It all leads to digital ID/ mark of the beast.
Plenty of GOPe traitors who can be added to the full list sell-outs.
Thanks so much Sundance. Great refresher and lots of work on your part to provide this summation of where we are now and how we got here as we gear up for the evil going forward.
“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.”
Are you suggesting Obama is in any way the author of this fundamental transformation in order to fulfill his personal ambitions?
As much as I share your dislike of Obama, SD, he is hardly the time-zero or originator of anything. Yes of course, he fulfilled the Fourth Branch Arc of Conquest’s requirements in these latter stages and his marching orders were especially egregious as, well, he carried water at the latter end of a very dark, dystopic arc. No substantive degrees-of-freedom are ‘under Obama’ or any other POTUS frankly.
Where does the arc begin? As you say, pick your date. Lincoln and the formative stages of the MIC; 1913 income tax and Fed; 1947 NSA Act; 911. Maybe the Tower of Babel? This is an old ratchet and its been turning deterministically (towards One Worldism) for a long time.
The Deep State would have survived the non-appearance of groomed-from-obscurity community organizer Obama. (Groomed by whom?) Only Trump, the ultimate insurgent, posed what for all appearances looked like an exogenous, unvetted threat. (Frankly Op Warpspeed has me on the fence these days with Trump. Others differ.)
Okay, we might not be as far advanced, or perhaps we’d be further along in the absence of Obama. It’s a butterfly effect postulation at the end of the day.
Obama isn’t the independent variable. The Deep State is. The former was entirely conditional on the latter.To suggest otherwise is to postulate that, sans Obama, the Deep State would have been stopped in its tracks without him. Please.
The Uniparty’s success does not hinge on one or another of its Manchurian Candidates. The latter can only be accelerants or retardants as a function of personal style or skill level. Biden can’t even hold a bucket, let alone carry water. We’re discovering with Biden that even Manchurian Candidates require a baseline competency.
Was Obama a deeply effective candidate? Absolutely. As a trusted lieutenant, do they have him whispering in Creepy Joe’s as a sort of familiar handler. Good luck with that, but probably yes. But it’s easy to overdo the O’Biden construct and thereby undercount the transcendent power of the Deep State.
Under the uniparty structure, yes, the first-order ideological energy emanates from within the Dem party. The Dems represent the ‘straight line’ to where the Deep State wants to go, if only it didn’t have to do a zig-zag via the false duopoly. In fact the DNC is our CCP-in-the-making.
This only means that the Repubs are obliged to play a more oblique (or if you will, a more ‘hypocritical’ role vis a vis their advertised ideology). As you’ve pointed out rather brilliantly before, McConnell excels in the minority party role. He will be tough to replace. But then, we’re not too many election cycles away from DNC/CCP rule when the red/blue charade will be allowed to wither away in full.
I’d have to agree with you on o’bammy.
What a great liar he is !
Did the opposite of everything he’d said he do ! Can’t say I hate him as much as Bush and Cheny , they really got the ball rolling in the surveillance state .
I work with a lot of Black folk , they’ll never give in to the fact he was a lying POS.
According to the democrat fake news brainwashers this guy is a terrorist.
Ryan Kelley, 40, of Allendale, Michigan, was arrested Thursday morning on misdemeanor charges stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach, FBI Detroit spokeswoman Mara R. Schneider said in an update. Kelley is charged 17 months after the Jan. 6 breach and on the same day the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol is to hold a primetime hearing Thursday.
The criminal complaint charged Kelley with knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds; knowingly engaging in any act of physical violence against person or property in any restricted building or grounds; willfully injure or commit any depredation against any property of the United States. All are misdemeanor offenses.
Kelley, a real estate agent, is one of five Republican candidates remaining in Michigan’s primary gubernatorial race, which will be held in August. His arrest throws the contest into further disarray: five other Republican candidates have already been disqualified having been accused of submitting fraudulent petitions to get on to the ballot.
praying for Ryan Kelley!
My theory is that Americans are being conditioned to accept these raids as ‘normal’ and justified, so that when they begin confiscating guns and people (and whatever else) when that neighbor did nothing whatsoever people think it’s part of legitimate government exercise. Many of us will be raided for our posts on these boards, well after the fact, even when we did nothing in real life.
There’s a reason for the ostentation that goes beyond just menacing unreliables. It’s training for the not-so-distant future.
OK now that’s a scary theory!
What the country should have is “national vote day” a Monday holiday for voting. Kind of like “Presidents’ Day”, MLK, Veterans Day. In fact Veterans Day would be the perfect national day to vote. Our nation would know the results by Tuesday and we could go on with our lives. No mail in, no ballot boxes, no bullshit nonsense. There would be an allowance for armed forces. Balloting could be done at police stations, fire halls and hospitals to accommodate the essential. Quick, easy and painless for the nation.
Problem is the foxes guarding that henhouse will not make these legislative changes. The TREASONOUS snakes are sitting pretty on their stolen thrones like dictators. Whatever would motivate dictators to restore election integrity?
Restoring the budgetary process, eliminating baseline budgeting and the completely out of control continuing resolution process can’t be done without abolishing the 17th amendment. Two many heads on the snake. Lost in the shuffle is the obvious psyops being done by the MM to bamboozle the people. Not only do they now control the voting processes and vote tabulation, in most cases they pick the candidates. The American people are so screwed any wonder why the border invasion is completely unabated. The future of the American way of life looks very bleak. Enjoy it while you can.
Sundance, why is the background story of the SSCI corruption way too intense to be exposed now?
Thank you, Sundance. This is the unifying theory, the design that rationalizes what’s been going on and why normal Americans feel so much under attack attack by their government.
American prosperity and prestige has been squandered by dishonest and corrupt people who have taken us astray. There will be accountability. But it will come from outside their system.
these two should be hung until dead
I read these in their entirety. We aren’t voting our way out of this. The solution is local. Thanks SD.
Sundance, as I read the fraction of the above where the IC began targeting Republican presidential candidates, I remembered how most of them were Republican Club Splitter candidates.
Were similar investigations carried out in 2019 and 2020 against the horde of Democrat Splitter Candidates?
Why investigate those who are already controlled? Already part of the Club? For instance, why investigate Rubio? He is both part of the RNC Club and the SSCI Club. His position and his part in the cover ups demonstrate he was fully onboard with the IC.
The answers could run from Obama bias to ‘we blackmail everyone’. But they could also be a wedge to fracture the IC control.
I was also thinking how total loyalty to this cockamamie treasonous scheme had to be in place in all Obama’s carefully selected appointees. But there is one glaring exception. Mueller. Appointed by Bush before Obama was installed, Mueller’s FBI was a crucial lynch pin of this coup. Obama even had Mueller’s term extended until a hand picked fellow traveler could take over the crucial job.
What was the reason that Obama could rely on Mueller’s eager participation in this seditious plot? Blackmail is not good enough. This job needed willing participation, not someone being unwillingly forced.
Jan 6 political prisoners cannot obtain video tapes to reveal they were shepherded into Capitol and not opposed by Capitol Police.
Meanwhile, Jan 6 Committee televises proceedings with video tape editing out Ray Epps?
Editing evidence?
I can’t…………
Anything perched upon pillars can be toppled. Success will require removal of two.
Just who or what will be our Samson?
Welcome to the communist states of America.
very suitable and appropriately written. I plan to re-read tonight but will print a copy for my kids to receive in the package when I pass away. Excellent perspective by Sundance and from the exactly correct vantage point
If we cannot raise a Well – Regulated Militia to solve these problems, we will be forced to change our American Slogan – on all our license plate frames – to “In Satan We Trust”.
The country is lost unless we start hanging every communist democrat we can get our hands on, but we know that’s not going to happen.🤡🌎👉👌👮
#MAGA
The United States ceased being united when the Marxists of the Woodrow Wilson era pushed the passage and ratification of the 17th Amendment. Senators were originally intended to represent the State’s interest in Washington, DC (the House represents the people’s interest). If the State’s Legislatures were still appointing their representatives (Senators) the current split is 30 to 20 Republican to Democrat – which means essentially 60 Senators would be Republican vs. 50 as it currently stands. More importantly, those Senators Sundance writes about would not be in office and presumably the Senators that would be in office would have little motivation to go against their own State in their actions, in other words they would be focused on defending the 10th Amendment rather than defending the administrative state.
One of the latest examples of the retooling:
“Michigan Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Arrested in Connection to Jan. 6 Capitol Breach”
https://m.theepochtimes.com/michigan-republican-gubernatorial-candidate-arrested-in-connection-to-jan-6-capitol-breach_4522911.html
Summary of the health care side of this scheme:
Healthcare is a source of money: 18% of the U.S economy (GDP) ripe for the picking. $ TRILLION dollars
It is piled in one convenient place: Government money and employee funded, given to the insurance companies3T 0op lobbyists: CoC, health insurance companies, Hospital Associations, Pharma, (AMA – which doesn’t represent docs)
Over the last 30 years insurance companies have made a metamorphosis:
They were a fudiciary trust to protect health care money from fraud by providers.
Then they maximized profits by preventing spending
Now they have the data, the power to rule and control, determine what docs and providers must do
Now they are owning more and more provider networks (especially hospitals, hospice, palliative care, mental health)
They work in synergy with the American Hospital Association
Hospitals now employ most docs, NPs, nursing administrators
Healthcare workers are becoming enlsaved with impossible workloads in patients and administrative burdens
Large hospitals now own the rural hospitals and transfer money making care to the big cities.
Rural (red) areas are losing health care and health care income.
Rural areas can’t grow because health care in small cities has been destroyed and moved back to cities
Independent doctors are being driven out of businesses.
Nurse practitioners and PAs do the bidding of the large hospital systems
Physicians employed or contracted must do the bidding of the large hospital systems or not be employed or recontacted
You will not see any drug or health care product advertised that costs less than hundreds or thousands of dollars per month
Health care is almost completely under control of Insurance companies and large hospital systems and Pharma
Can be shut down by restricting insurance panels (who can bill insurance)
Licensing requirements
Board certification requirements
Electronic medical record requirements
Electronic access through two factor authentication.
Priveliges to practice at a certain hospital or state.
We are all set up as a nation to be held hostage by our access to healthcare.
We are well manipulated to keep passing control of health care to the Dark/Side in the name of “health care for the children, the elderly, the dying, the disparities, the poor, the minorities”
The quality of education of doctors, nurses, and nurse practitioners, mental health workers has deteriorated greatly by educational systems that look more like an on line paper mill scamming system than a training process.
Health care “quality” is no longer under the control of seasoned doctors, nurses, or evidence based science.
Health care “science” is no longer under the principles of true science.
It’s called psychological warfare. All of this daily “news” and turmoil is our Government and media trying to wear us down enough where we will agree to ANYTHING, just to make it stop.
It’s been going on for decades, but ramped up to high volume since 2015. We’ve been dealing with this for 7 years now.
PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE.
Truth. They did that with Trump – the unrelenting attack to wear people down. We are in a bad cycle now – one that started a few decades ago. Could we have stopped it then if we knew? I don’t know. But, millions of us are now awake and the serpent it showing it’s fangs. It is up to us here in the U.S. and also to the north, also under attack in Canada.
Isaiah 59:14-15 “So, justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter. Truth is nowhere to be found and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.”
John 8:12 “When Jesus, spoke again to the people, he said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
John 14:6 “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Ephesians 4:14-15 “Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves , and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men and their deceitful schemes. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ.”
John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
1 John 5:4-5 “For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.”
Thank you for your post. God’s will be done. That is the hope of mankind and Christ the Son our savior.
Prying this unelected behemoth‘S tentacles from around our collective throats will definitely have to occur at local and state levels. And yet— there is Soros and Zuckerberg purchasing district attorneys and interfering locally.
I’m paying ZERO attention to this. It should be IGNORED.
Unfortunately, I checked and even Fox News isn’t. Someone on Fox news that I heard during the few seconds I watched said that “a survey” had shown that 48% of somebodies are interested in watching it. I’d say that number is BS and is far too high to make the ignorant peasants think, “Oh, if so many are interested in it, maybe I should be, too.”
Soviet show trials never interested me either.
Here in the US, it feels like early 1930’s Weimar Germany. The commies are running rough-shod through the streets causing mayhem, the economy is collapsing, and the average citizen watches helplessly. In Germany’s case, the strong horse that emerged and promised to restore greatness, law and order was Hitler, and the desperate and grateful people responded positively.
Let’s see if it’s different this time.
I found myself wondering whether at DOD there has been some process similar to FBI clearance process giving them control over hiring (and some promotions) in Congress and the rest of executive branch. For sure if the Clintons, and their Chinese friends, could have done something to make DOD more woke, they would have.
This article screams Holder will be installed as their next candidate and Resident.
smart move. Although Stacy could point out that’s he’s very “privileged” and that Eric (like Barry) has done an awful lot of cultural appropriatin’ if you nomisayin. Innit?
The lefty encylopedia describes his early life as follows:
Eric Himpton Holder Jr. was born in The Bronx, New York, to parents with roots in Barbados.[2][3][4] Holder’s father, Eric Himpton Holder Sr. (October 29, 1903 – February 12, 1998), was born in Saint Joseph, Barbados, and arrived in the United States at the age of 11.[5][6] He later became a real estate broker. His mother, Miriam (January 25, 1924 – August 13, 2010), was born in New Jersey, while his maternal grandparents were emigrants from Saint Philip, Barbados.[6] Holder grew up in East Elmhurst, Queens, and attended public school until the age of 10. When entering the 4th grade he was selected to participate in a program for intellectually gifted Black students.[7]
In 1969, he graduated from Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan and attended Columbia University, where he played freshman basketball. During that time, he lived in Carman Hall.[8] He earned a B.A. degree in American history in 1973.[9] Holder received his J.D. degree from Columbia Law School, graduating in 1976. He worked for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund during his first summer and the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York during his second summer.[7]
In 1969, while a freshman at Columbia, Holder was one of several dozen students who staged an occupation of the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps office, renaming it as the Malcolm X student center
Sundance – put the Clapper video that gets scrubbed from YouTube on Rumble.
Thank you, Sundance,
As a direct result of what Sundance has so brilliantly written about, we have all become what VDH describes as the “subordinate citizen.”
This is one his best essays and along with Sundance’s magnum opus should be required reading for anyone interested in what’s going on in our formerly great Republic.
But one reason why voters are furious is rarely expressed.
Americans feel that ordinary citizens like themselves who follow the rules are treated more harshly by their own government than are both non-citizens and our own progressive elites.
And they are right, and they are angry, and we will hear from them very soon.
https://pjmedia.com/columns/victor-davis-hanson/2022/06/09/the-subordinate-citizen-n1604276
I believe you are right. People who by the millions pay their bills, pay their taxes, serve in the military when called, support their schools and their communities are now realizing they’ve (we’ve) been conned, our generosity abused, our selflessness mocked and surveilled. Have we bad enough? We’ll see.
16th amendment too! Starve the beast into constitutional conformity. Repeal 16th AND 17th. Review every amendment of the 20th century and later, just as Roe v Wade was scrutinized recently.
New amendment; Immediately dissolve EVERY congress which fails to pass a 100% budget, and disallow the future “service” of any member of a dissolved congress.
The number of ways they rig elections and laws is truly staggering.
Dominion, Ballot stuffing, Voting without ID, Vote counting in secret, Redistricting, Census counting flaws which gave more seat to democrats and then the govt saying it cannot be changed to the correct amount, Counting illegals for allocation of congressional seats, Dems voting in Republican primaries, Kangaroo courts to disqualify candidates from running, FBI intimidation, False imprisonment, DOJ stopping election reform and trampling states rights, Deep state involvement in election interference and political persecution, Technology, Propaganda, Media and finally a very compromised Supreme Ct which states the people have no standing in a fraud election.
I’m going to repeat my previous post on ;
PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE
This is the product of the Military/Industrial psy-ops General/President Eisenhower warned us about in his farewell speech, 1961.
For 6 decades, or longer, we have been daily exposed to lies perpetrated by evil groups of people intent on bringing us to our knees in submission.
How long did it take for professional sports to take a knee during the National Anthem after the Kapernick stunt? One week..two..?
And who encouraged this shameful behavior?
Media and corporations.
They managed to shame everyone into complying.
Same with BLM antifa. If you didn’t donate and renounce your whiteness and pledge to destroy the Constitution, then you were ostracized in society. Sneered at by your peers. Fired from your job.
Destroyed
Like a Pavlovian dog, we’ve been conditioned to obey. Or else.
No amount of elections will stop this insanity.
We have to consider EVERYONE is an enemy, and do our own research as a group. Do not believe polls or “whiteboards”. Conduct your own polls with the people around you whom you know and trust. Poll from the inside out.
For example. I know and am related to many people in different states. Only 2 voted for Biden. And these friends and relatives did their own informal polling with similar results.
Trust only what you personally see, know and hear.
Never forget…this has been, and will continue to be psychological warfare designed to drive us crazy, and many committ suicide.
Is it fair to say that all of this internal manipulation by the ‘Fourth Branch’ to maintain power and control over America has in fact been a failure? China seems to have gained an outsized influence over Americas Executive, and Congressional/ Legislative, and Departmental operations in spite of all the Fourth Branch efforts to gain control. To whit, it’s easier to corrupt from within but far more difficult to stop an adversary like China and it’s PLA. So literally, while Rome burns the Fourth Branch fiddles. Or is the Fourth Branch in league with our mortal enemy, the CCP?
I agree with the ‘Extreme Federalism’, and the balkanization of ultraMAGA loyalists into Deep Red states.
PS: Given reports of American stockpiles of battlefield missiles dwindling rapidly due to Ukraine, and the significant lag in replacement due to microprocessor unavailability, it appears China is ‘bleeding out’ Americas conventional defensive capability now. Good job Fourth Branch!
These people all believe the end justifies the means.
That is exactly what Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Mao and other birds of a tyrannical feather have believed.
They insulted themselves from the unwashed masses and did not care about the consequences to ordinary people.
They have another thing in common: they have died and gone to face the ultimate judgement.
Outstanding article, and I have benchmarked a copy for future reference. A looong discussion, but worth the read. The three Tiers are the 30,000 foot view, but that is the starting point. IMHO, there needs to be more, and perhaps constant, lawsuits challenging every violation of the Constitution.
I would like to consider a Fourth Tier, which would be to consider how the morons within the LSM can be challenged. Weren’t there vendor boycotts attempted against several Fox conservative celebrities??? Can a legitimate boycott be organized against the sponsors and advertisers of the “major biased networks”?? As viewing audiences drop on those networks, would advertising revenue most likely drop? I could not find any statistics about the viewing audience watching the circus last night. It would be interesting to red what the viewing audience was for the Clown Circus presented last night.
As part of Tier 1.5, there needs to be new “leadership” at the RNC. IMESHO, the RNC should be leading the effort to set the factual narrative about the Clown Circus, and to implement legal action against the rampant slander and the lies from the Swamp.
Praying that Sundance is recovering completely and soon. His articles are such excellent reading.
For a while now I have said the 17th was a huge mistake along with the 16th. The 16th gave them just about unlimited access to our earnings. Money is power.
I have for a long time suggested that a web site should be created where you can upload the selfies and videos that you took on January 6th. The data can be automatically classified based on the embedded timestamp and GPS-location metadata to construct our own picture and proof of exactly what happened – and where and when. We don’t need the Capitol security camera footage. We have our own.
In a functioning republic with just legal system, yes.
In the current state of affairs, it’s akin to a gun registry.
You’ve done nothing wrong but it’s still a list of participants, thus no.
“Our own” is the basis of most of the currently charged…
Their own pictures, videos and social media posts are the evidence being used against them.
Don’t help the feds…
Can someone explain what this means ” A repeal of the 17th amendment is a nuclear political weapon detonated in the heart of the swamp.”I understand the 17th amendment and know in the past seniors were not elected from the voters. I’m just a simple person but I want to understand what we can do to change this country.
Seventeenth Amendment | Browse | Constitution Annotated | Congress.gov | Library of Congress
Seventeenth Amendment Popular Election of Senators
It is pretty much self-explanatory….
Thanks!
Article V of the Constitution
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.[3]
https://dailyillini.com/opinions-stories/2020/01/30/repeal-17th-amendment/
This article might help you understand better the reason some want to repeal 17. However, you can not expect the Congress, especially the Senate to ever do it.
It will take the alternate way of doing it as stated in Article V of the Constitution. There is a movement underway now called The Convention of States. https://conventionofstates.com/sign_the_petition
Thank you John for the article written from a college student in a blue state. This is what I thought Sundance was talking about but I was not completely sure. I am familiar with The Convention of States, I am a Texan. We heard a lot more about it during the Obama term which has now continued. Thank you so much for your time.
From what has been explained to me: Senators used to be selected by State Legislators/Senators. State reps are much closer to their constituents so are more likely to represent them by sending Senators who understand that they represent THEIR STATE and not the Federal Government. If the State reps pick the wrong people then they will be voted out of office. The current system encourages Senators to never look back at the constituents who voted them in. They become firmly entrenched in DC corruption.
The more I think about it, I do trust Sundance’s opinion more than mine, I can see how it would work. I live in an all Democrat county, so I don’t trust my representatives but when I look at Texas as a whole group there are many in the other part of the state I do feel represent me. When I look to Austin I dont trust Abbot but I do trust AG Paxton. It is so scary but time to try something different.
It would mean that the states could have more of a say in what goes on in DC than they do now. Of course there’s still the pesky corruption that caused the repeal of that amendment in the first place.
Some way would have to be found to make it less prone to corruption.
Not to throw a monkey wrench into the mix, but didn’t most of our current
federal government officials have state positions prior to?
