Barack Obama and Eric Holder did not create a weaponized DOJ and FBI; the institutions were already weaponized by the Patriot Act. What Obama and Holder did was take the preexisting system and retool it, so the weapons of government only targeted one side of the political continuum.
This point is where many people understandably get confused.
In the era shortly after 9/11 the DC national security apparatus, instructed by Vice President Dick Cheney, 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.
After 9/11/01 the electronic surveillance system that was originally created to monitor threats from abroad was retooled to monitor threats inside our country. That is when all of our electronic ‘metadata’ came under federal surveillance.
That inflection point, and the process that followed, was exactly what Edward Snowden tried to point out.
What Barack Obama and Eric Holder did with that new construct was refine the internal targeting mechanisms so that only their political opposition became the target of this new national security system.
The problems we face now as a country are directly an outcome of two very distinct points that were merged by Barack Obama. (1) The post 9/11 monitoring of electronic communication of American citizens; and (2) Obama’s team creating a fine-tuning knob that it focused on the politics of the targets. This 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. The Department of Homeland Security came along in 2002, and within the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) was formed.
When President Barack Obama and Attorney General 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: a domestic surveillance state. 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.
Remember, 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 the 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 metastasized into a Fourth Branch of Government. It is this superseding branch that now touches and influences every facet of our life. We The People are under surveillance.
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, which include the exploitation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA Court, or FISC) 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.
However, the creation of the DNI office also created an unconstitutional surveillance system of the American people. The DNI office became the tool to take massive amounts of data and use it to target specific Americans. Weaponizing the DNI office for political targeting is now the purpose of the DNI office as it exists.
The illegal and unlawful nature of the surveillance creates a need for careful protection amid the group who operate in the shadows of electronic information and domestic surveillance. You will 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. The tools the government used to monitor threats were now being used to monitor every American. WE THE PEOPLE were now the threat the national security system was monitoring.
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 prior intelligence conduct. Immediately Senator Dianne Feinstein stepped down from the SSCI, 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 advice 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.
♦ 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 unavoidable implication and James Comey admission that everyone just brushed aside, was that President Obama’s National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, was 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 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 then specifically included 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.
NOTE: Former Obama National Security aide and counsel to the President, Lisa Monaco, is in her current position as Deputy Attorney General, specifically to make sure all of these revelations do not become a legal risk to Barack Obama and the people who created them. The SSCI confirmed Monaco for this purpose because the Senate is just as much at risk.
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, complicit senate intelligence committee, 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 to 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, in fact most of it is on record.
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.
From that point it is then critical to understand that domestic intelligence operations are underway to monitor the electronic communication of American citizens inside our own country. YOU are under surveillance. The parents who confront school boards are under surveillance. The political operatives inside the FBI are monitoring everyone who comes onto the radar, that is why the National School Boards Association asked the White House, then the DOJ, to have the FBI start targeting parents. Are things making sense now?
♦ 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 brazened 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 against domestic enemies.
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. Simultaneously the mission of the intelligence community now encompassed monitoring domestic threats as defined by the people who operate the surveillance system.
The problem with assembled power is always what happens when a Machiavellian network takes control over that power and begins the process to weaponize the tools for their own malicious benefit. That is exactly what the network of President Barack Obama did.
The Obama network took pre-assembled intelligence weapons (we should never have allowed to be created) and turned those weapons into political tools for his radical and fundamental change. The target was the essential fabric of our nation.
Ultimately, this corrupt political process gave power to create the Fourth Branch of Government, the Intelligence Branch. From that perspective the fundamental change was successful.
This is the scale of corrupt political compromise on both sides of the DC dynamic that we are up against. Preserving this system is also what removing Donald Trump is all about…. And like I said in the precursor, I doubt Donald Trump fully comprehends the motives of his opposition.
Sundance, don’t forget all of Obama’s “Czars”…one in every executive branch department. No one knew what the hell they were for then, but now we know. Vetting. Fellow travelers only.
And don’t forget about Mueller’s “up or out” program at the FBI (see below). Same purpose.
And they only had one tsar in Russia, LOL. Where does that put us?
Please listen to this speech by Thomas Klingenstein, Chairman of the Claremont Institute:
https://tomklingenstein.com , entitled: “Trump’s Virtues”
Outstanding speech.
All I can say is THANK YOU for posting this. I’m putting Trump’s Virtues in heavy rotation.
Abigailstraight: thank you for posting this video. It was remarkable, thought-provoking, and spot-on!
Wow! I subscribe to the Claremont Institute and this is why!!!!!!! Outstanding overview of WHY Trump is important. No one has what it takes to win, Not even the Florida governor!
Outstanding speech
that was awesome…thank you!
A very good listen. Thank you for posting.
War against political correctness, check.
War on Media, check.
Their war on the middle class, check.
But who is going to echo Sundance and point out the war needed against the anti-Patriot Act/Administrative State and against multinational corporations/Wall Street?
Who is going to give the speech that requires us to go back to the original Constitution where Fed Gov’t is extremely limited?
If these things cannot be spoken of on the campaign trail, will President Trump be the one to enact them upon election?
Is there anyone who will attempt to do the things needed to save the country?
As usual, I have many questions and few to no answers to provide.
Trump will also have to initiate a national discussion referencing the climate change scam, not just talking about it but proving it with real un corrupted scientists.
THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for posting this!
I am so sick and tired of these fake phony “supporters” of President Trump, (including Larry Kudlow this past weekend) who start out saying how much they love him, but then go on a quiet rant about why PT should never run again for public office.
This should be posted all over the internet- #TRUMP 2024 & FOREVER
Excellent, refreshing. Thank you.
His repeating, over and over, the media verboten name—Trump—love it!
Sundance, amazing summary.
And yet all of this surveillance ‘and’ warrants issued from thus, ‘and’ evidence gathered is not admissible in court based upon the US Constitution.
The again even tyrants have constitutions, laws and courts; selectively used to forgive friends and go after there political enemies.
Its NOT for prosecutions, its for blackmail.
Yes, exceptional and excellent summary by Sundance of the big picture, including the background details, of what has happened and continues to happen in our country… and the world. The corruption is so extreme, so vast, so systemic that I don’t see how we stop this train from going over the cliff.
Dutchman is right. It’s blackmail. Bribery would not be sufficient incentive for most to be willing to destroy freedom, peace, sovereignty of nations … and catapult the world back 100 years to the Era of insanity and deliberate ignorance that caused WWII and the slaughter of millions.
It’s very scary, and heartbreaking, to witness.
I am also posting this speech on a “Cold Civil War” by Tom Klingenstein:
Outstanding-thanks for posting
Second.
Thank you abigailstraight for sharing those two speeches by Tom Klingenstein.
Topic: Trump’s Virtues, indeed!
What I most often ask a Trump disparager; Who do you know more experienced and competent for President than Trump? I make it clear I have no interest in a subjective answer nor do I have interest in Trump disparagement…..just simply give me a name.
Add a second question; WHO else, of those on any list of contenders, could POSSIBLY go thru the series of anal probe investigations of their business, family and personal life, being conducted by their sworn enemied DIEING to find anything, and coming up clean?
…and yet they still publicly proclaim him a criminal
Nobody on the plant but Trump. They looked under ever stone and found nothing not even his taxes.
Sir, you act like the president is a meaningful position. The IC proved that they own this country, and not even a president could do a damn thing about it. Trump could hardly get ANYTHING done. The little he did do was great – but let’s face it, he was hogtied from the start to finish.
Mcelroy, what makes him a legend is what he actually did get done while all the time facing more adversity than any other world leader in history.
I believe he got more done in four years while hog tied, than most unencumbered presidents do in 8 years.
Of course, and it is what Trump is all about. That is having the courage, competence and knowledge to change it. Otherwise, there will never be a MAGA. People need to “cowboy up” and get behind it instead of whining, piss and moaning all the time. Some of the posters on this website are no better than Libtards when it comes to moments of “Truth”. They buy the bullshit rather than what it takes to win.
Amen to that.
He should have done what Sundance suggested.. walk out of the scif with a print out and hand it to the press.. he cannot be prosecuted for that.
If not President Trump then who?
<<< crickets >>>
There are good people who could step forward, but first the road has to be cleared so someone who is not immersed in swamp can continue on the road laid by President Trump.
Right now our President Trump is literally the only LEADER on the entire world stage.
There is literally NO ONE ELSE with his stature and ability to inspire tens of thousands of people.
Beside him is…..VVP…Seneca 4/5 of the whole World refused go with EU/USA/CANADA/JAPAN/S.KOREA.AUST/ZEALAND with sanction..VVP inspired multi-polar world…
Trump represents a hope for other freedom loving people throughout the World like no other. Trump is not just the legal President of the United States but President of the World. Trump defeating the Globalist cabal is victory for all people trapped together on this spinning Globe for our individual life times.
Sadly, no one! DeSantis probably, but after that….?
Here’s an accompanying post I found from the speaker.
https://www.nas.org/blogs/article/winning-the-cold-civil-war
thank you again ..that was awesome also!! so true
This guy is a moron. He accepts the basic premise that racism is bad. There is zero proof for this belief. Some of the greatest people in history have been racist. We have had communism in this country for over 100 years. Only in the Civil Rights era was it allowed to flourish because people were afraid to be called racist. If you continue to accept the fallacy that the trivial characteristic of racism is a good indication of character, you will never overcome this nonsense. This guy also supports the J6 narrative. You are being misled.
Some of the greatest people in our history have been racist. Some of the most open minded and compassionate people in our history have been racist. When you say racism is a sin, you defame our Founders and the people who built this country. you align with the woke communist. Your virtue signaling is self-serving and strongly aides the enemy.
Lincoln never wanted integration.
Blacks have clearly rejected our Founding fathers and the Constitution. I respect them and take them at their word. Isn’t it racist to overlay your beliefs on them. Sure they like the peace and prosperity our beliefs have created, but they reject those beliefs. Most of the men in the KKK were veterans of WWI and WWII. They played a major role in defeating the Nazis and communism. Most of our current wealth and prosperity is because of these people.
Blacks vote 90 percent in lockstep. They are the most racist and closed-minded group in our society. Why do people want to appease them? It doesn’t take a genius to realize why the country is failing.
You’ve got to be kidding me. KKK and Jim Crow were the South keeping the Black people “in their place”.
My family hails from the North and my mother attended an integrated high school in Columbus, Ohio, East High School. Most of the student council and class officers of her ’53 graduating class were black.
My father came from small town Iowa, most of his ancestors from Penn. None of my ancestors have ever held slaves or were a part of Southern slave or Jim Crow culture. I’m sure there were biases but you propping up the KKK takes the cake.
Blacks are documented being relatively stable as a community until the welfare state Johnson imposed. I will say, any instability in any part of society is evidence of a lack of moral compass, regardless of welfare.
You know nothing about the South.
POTUS Donald J. Trump was the most effective barrier contraceptive against the onslaught of Marxist “sperm” this country has ever known. We sure could use him now considering that Republicans just “saying no” isn’t working.
Trump and his crew are as “busy” as has ever been. We are coming to a boil burst. Timing is everything. Exposure is ramping up as never before. The People are waking up maybe not as fast as Patriots think they should, but there is a growing restlessness. Something that doesn’t feel right cannot be avoided by “believing”. There comes a time whereby it is “seeing” that cannot be avoided.
As always, deep hearted thanks, Sundance, for all of your hard work and dedication.
The Treehouse is the most important news site on earth by far.
The huge amount of substantive reporting is outstanding. I don’t know how you can compile so many fact based effective posts in such volume so quickly.
Most investigative reporters take months to produce work ,that is far less comprehensive , while you turn them out daily .
I remember that you went to D.C . Your reporting was quite revealing.
As I read your reports in struggle with a few issues.
Mainly confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance. I suspect most of us do from time to time. I desperately want the forces of good to prevail.
If possible could you devote some time to help your readers struggling to this too. Having a sober analysis coming from you as to how you think this eventually plays out would be welcome.
I have a few questions /suggestions .
Do you think there is someone in Trumps orbit who he respects who may be trying to enlighten him as the the gravity of the situation?
What ever happened to Admiral Rodgers?
Do you think the person who slipped the letter under your door is a lone wolf and is there a substantial group of patriots associated with him ?
Was he trying to be helpful or attempting to miss direct ?
Most Importantly , is there a possible way out of this mess that is likely to succeed ?
I know you are hesitant to speculate because of the inherent pitfalls that come afterwards.
If your cannot I’ll understand. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I love my country and can’t bear to see it being lost for ever.
Were any of the people you met cloistered in their information silos aware Of the gravity of what was happening outside of their silo and do they care?
Is there organized resistance?
One day, in a just future, you will get the Presidential Medal of Freedom for your work here, Sundance. I am honored to consider myself aware of these issues as a member of the Treehouse clan, with a level of understanding not held by the vast majority of not just Americans, but human beings. This is a global conflict, and you are a light and a power within it.
I am overdue for another contribution, but I’m learning hard lessons on how to live on my retirement benefit. Soon. We are truly a gifted tribe, and your work must continue!
God bless you all!
what Jeff sed thank you
DITTO ! to what Jeff Charles said.
Blatant attacks on Musk. He will not be allowed to own Twitter. Notice the obvious ones on his Father and Tesla. Who knows what else they are running in the background.
All for the benefit of the proles. Notwithstanding his tweaking the nose of Twitter as it were, he is solidly in the enemy camp on the other large issues. He also has the “morals” of an alley cat.
It is telling how easily “patriots” become enamored with our enemies if the say or do anything that is deemed “favorable” to “our side.”
Yes, like the ACTIONS, even like the words, but don’t automatically transfer that “liking” to the person.
YES! And why are conservatives so quick to lavish praise on scumbag Bill Maher who is just another Bolshevik?
After reading Sundance for nearly a decade, “I have come to believe in an inverse proportionality coefficient.”
Meaning the longer the column inches required to explain the deep state, the greater the likelihood the explanation is designed to detract from the real originating power of the deep State.
THUS …
All political appointments must be cast down and thrown out in addition to any of their key hires since the so called ‘Filegate’ of the Clinton era.
Would not, “They be the key operatives that have been put in place to serve the Deep state.
Just look at this way and beg the question “Why was
Bill Ohr sent into FBI/DOJ personnel hell?”
If not, “To hide the personnel jackets of corrupt DC insiders.”
Those were some long articles for sure. When I occasionally read American Spectator or Townhall, sometimes, regarding the wandering gibberish makes me think “does the author get paid by the word”? That said…
There are and have been so very many people, administrations, legislators at state and federal levels, that connecting the dots is a huge challenge.
My head is spinning from it all. So many “systems” that interact and that are interdependent.
{let me diverge a minute…And Baby Bush verbalized concerns around 9/11, of why the FBI and CIA don’t talk to each other…}
So many “systems” that interact and that are interdependent
upon each other. And the money that would be required for an average real red blooded American lunch-bucket joe to untangle it all? Its one big fluster cluck that we the people know they know we know they know what we know…and really we are hog tied to try and fix it ourselves…but we are making slow progress. It will take generations, I think.
Political Whack a Mole….get one and three more pop out of their hidey holes.
Try Chronicles, The American Conservative, & Pat Buchanan.
Bruce Ohr. The lovely Nellies’ hubs.
The only way forward is to defund the Federal government. A Convention of States must be called. We The People must repeal the 16th Amendment and stop indiscriminate money-printing. Let the Feds beg the States for money, rather than stealing it directly from us. This is the only way to shrink The Swamp.
Many State legislatures have been lobbied for years to set the framework in place. The intent is to replace the US Constitution.
A Convention of the States, at this time, would be formed and organized out of the most thoroughly corrupt State and Federal governments in the history of the United States.
Agree 100%.
A constitutional convention at this point in time would be playing right into the hand of the enemies of this nation. Obama and his minions are desperate to get rid of the limits on government.
It must wait until it is certain beyond doubt that there are at least 40 states under proven conservative pro-MAGA leadership. That’s the only way the original Bill of Rights would be safe from being weakened.
I always ask the proponents pushing it here in NC a question: “Why not start with a simple repeal of the 17th Amendment?” No Convention of States needed
No convention needed for simple repeal only, but 2/3rds states must propose it, and ratification by 3/4ths of the states is required.
http://www.obolerlaw.com/2018/03/constitutional-law-amendment-repeal-process/
Excellent observation and one I have also made for several years. An Art. 5 Convention can be hijacked relatively easily.
And a MAGA State is NOT just a MAGA Governor.
A Governor, no matter how MAGA is severely limited, without State legislature leadership, SoS, AG, etc all MAGA as well.
Otherwise, just as PDJT’s agenda was seriously compromised by McConnell, a Gov can be hamstrung, as well.
And so far, we only have ONE such State, but hopefully more after the midterms!
Yes. “Leadership” goes well beyond the Governor. That includes the state AG, the Secretary of State, and legislative leaders in both houses of state legislature. At the minimum.
Look how easy it was for corrupt demoncraps & complicit RINOs to force Eric Greitens out of the guvnah’s mansion in MO.
That “living document”…pushed by HRC and BHO, yeah right!
Back when that was being heavily floated, sometime in the Obama years maybe, not sure…I did read an article that that said essentially, a CoS would not be a good thing as it would firmly entrench swamp/progressive/liberal ideology into our Republic by way of the Constitution. Or a law of the land. Am wishing I had saved the article.
My thoughts are we need to look at the past to see how the current days news fits in with past…sort of like building blocks.
The retiring boomers and health care is a good example. We ultimately ‘needed’ to have the ACA to prevent the collapse of health care…one does not hear about those retiring boomers anymore. They pretty much got what was wanted.
When it sounds too good to be true…
Spot on! Astute observations Aggiegirl.
You are so right!
Indeed.
I agree. Doing that any time soon could backfire immensely the wrong way and seal the fate of our republic.
Read Sundance’s article again:
******
• 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).
******
We are irrelevant when it comes to money, they just print it now. That ship has sailed.
The Democrats are lawless and the country is unstable. A Convention of States or Constitutional Convention is guaranteed to careen out of control.
Can’t you just see the look on Pelosi’s face if we were foolish enough to have a COS?
just do an in-depth investigative study to reveal the illegality of the original ratification…….state legislatures NOT in session when they voted yea to the amendment and several different worded versions of the amendment not resolved into a single version before acceptance by 3/4 of the states…..SAME with the 17th
All Americans need to ask themselves; “Who and what is anti-America and who and what is for America”?
This question needs to come from the gut. Disregard all the bullshit and look in the mirror when asking this simple but all everything question. The question answer has nothing to do with; transgender, race, abortion, voter-fraud, democrat, republican, Russia/Ukraine, Covid, Vaccines, masks, inflation, etc. This question has to do with “Who and What” you are.
9/11 was a joint CIA/Mossad operation. The Muslims were the patsies. You will not convince me otherwise. Only CIA/Mossad had the
resources and false flag expertise. There were no missed signals, because it was an internal conspiracy.
CIA ordered DOS to issue F1 visas to the highjackers, no questions asked. Later DOS and media friends would successfully blame the INS, which really could have done nothing, once the valid visas were issued.
For months before 911, Israeli assets passing themselves off as art students had been entering the US at different ports of entry. They were the subject of a nationwide Bolo for INS and Customs, and plenty of interceptions and interviews resulted in substantial intelligence and numerous reports forwarded up the chain. It was obvious something was going to happen. Something was planned. But nothing came back from CIA/FBI.
As for DHS. It was mostly created as a feeding trough fir friends of the Administration, otherwise unemployable. Sure, there are sharp knowledgeable people there, but they are not in charge.
Another problem the DHS solved was getting various agencies under one control, so they could be pulled back from Deep State operations. In particular Customs and INS had been regularly colliding with Deep State plans, smuggling, human trafficking, etc.
See, for example, the DOJ (Jeh Johnson) prosecution of INS Special Agent Joe Occopinti, or the Customs seizure of two cluster bomb factories going to Cardoen Industries (See Carlos Cardoen). These were two of many operations, that were exposed by Federal law enforcement, requiring inconvenient covering up. Or operation Dragonfire.
Also high ranking Chinese officials smuggling fully auto weapons into the Port of Oakland for sale to street gangs. This was Operation Dragonfire. But by the time the Clintons found out about it, many players had been identified and were being pursued. The Whitehouse shut it down pronto. A single DHS would make sure that would never happen again.
I agree with you. I too believe American govt did 9/11, and I also believe they did COVID, and were trying to do the same to Russia.
Its all about the energy, minerals, and food. Soon, it will be about water. Toxic blooms are appearing in the water in Cali
todd callender has said the US DOD is in control of the covid operation
Mossad art students?
You are nuts/anti semitic idiot, or more likely a provocateur fed troll.
Nice work hijacking a CT thread and subjecting the entire site to shutdown.

Stifling free speech concerning a disturbing incident co-incident with a major terrorist act does not seem very AMERICAN.
Art career didn’t work out? Wound up working for Hasbara? Sorry.
is it you vicky nuland/kagan/blinken ?????
Israel has acted against the interest of the United States more than once. The truth isn’t anti-Semitic, it’s just the truth.
Identity politics & ad hominem attacks aren’t just leftist narrative control tactics.
You said: “As for DHS. It was mostly created as a feeding trough fir [sic] friends of the Administration, otherwise unemployable. Sure, there are sharp knowledgeable people there, but they are not in charge”, and you were 100% correct. As one who’s been targeted by the DS clowns (DHS+) since at least 2015, I’ve noticed the massively corrupt squandering of taxpayer money for a massively corrupt system of rewards to massively corrupt players in the massively corrupt “Game” they use to persecute anyone who speaks against their darlings HRC and BHO. Your hard-earned tax dollars have been providing generous salaries and lots of other freebies including vehicles, homes, home repairs, vacations, Amazon merch, and l more to DHS brownshits, their handlers, and like you said . . . a whole lot of otherwise unemployable people who are sufficiently corrupt to be Theirguys. Done through the DHS fusion centers, DoD, etc. It’s beyond disgusting.

Thanks, Sundance. Brilliant and essential synthesis!
6 ways to sunday that the 4th branch is controlled:
security clearance
fellow travelers
surveillance of questionable people
dig for dirt in the common controlled database
AI analysis and predictive programs to stratify citizens to be targeted or excluded
Murder (ie. clinitoncide)
framing and creation of compramat (lolita express, pizzagate)
Access to medical records and banking info
preventing “assembly”. In the 1700s you had to meet to speak and plan or write letters. Now they keep us from having the opportunity to collaborate in any way
Yeppers. The AI analysis and predictive programs to stratify citizens to be targeted or excluded. This has been done to me and three members of my family, and most sadly, other family members have been in on it. Having worked in the ILLINOIS swamp for a few years and observed some of the goings-on there, I’m not at all surprised about the involvement of specific individuals whose true colors had already come to light. But family members? That was a tough thing to accept. 🙁 And IDK, but if they still hold those fraudulent life insurance policies they took out on us, the fraudulently obtained deeds or co-ownership papers on our property, etc., they might just be (probably are) still at it. Again, this is SAD!
Who found barry and brought him into play? He didn’t create all this on his own, I have read the stories about his mother and father etc. but who groomed him? I mean really groomed him, set all this up? Years of chess playing to get him where he is, he didn’t one day have a light bulb moment and have the ability. There is still so much about his past that hasn’t been uncovered, or at least confirmed, plenty of rumors though. One of them is Pelosi is tied in.
Trying to sort it all out is beyond my brain, each one of these people has their own never ending layers of corruption. It really is amazing how they don’t all trip over each other. Mitch and Botox, so many years of strategy and planning, it is really mind-boggling how it has all played out over my life time, from what used to be, that never was, and what it is now.
Why isn’t ValJar ever talked about anymore?
The pic of Lizzy and Dick is sickening.
Thank you Sundance.
groomed by the deep state at an early age
But who, exactly? Who found him, who decided it would be him? Who made up his story? Bill Ayres didn’t do it all alone.
There are a couple of banking families that own land, vacation houses, etc. in Kenya, my guess is they are connected to Obama somehow.
One family in particular is real tight with Geithner, who was Obama’s Treasury Secretary. That is not a coincidence.

It is beyond anyone single brain, except that of Sundance, to sort it out. That is why the government has morphed into this giant monster.
Living in IL for 35 years, I have often asked the same question. This ‘new fresh face’ just magically appeared in IL.
The ‘silos’ that Sundance has referred to offer a layer of protection and a ‘storage’ device for ‘critter protection’.
Yes!
Why isn’t ValJar ever talked about anymore?
I was thinking this very thought the other day.
The traitors don’t want to hang.
The Five Eyes are the countries bantered about in the election steal discussions. This chilling article is brilliant. I am saving for my archives. One day, maybe my son will understand what happened… and how we lost America.
obama used this system (I am sure many years planned) to destroy America. His (and his enablers) punishment cannot be severe enough.
If this hasn’t been mentioned, I just saw an article posted from Washington Times, Adam Schiff is proposing a bill that will block Congressional oversight on our military. They want this in place before the midterms so they can continue with their ideological like-minded insiders to work against the American people, or rather conservatives.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/jul/11/adam-schiff-wants-pentagon-rule-would-block-congre/
“Rep. Adam B. Schiff, chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, wants a defense policy bill to include language blocking Congress from oversight of the military and National Guard in some cases of domestic deployment.”
“some cases of domestic deployment” You know what that means.
Kaco – “Rep. Adam B. Schiff, chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, wants a defense policy bill to include language blocking Congress from oversight of the military and National Guard in some cases of domestic deployment.”
There’s more going on than just that.
Schiff recently added an amendment to the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act.
https://patelpatriot.substack.com/p/schiffs-amendment
As pointed out in the above article, Schiff’s amendment says any information that comes from our military in violation of the posse comitatus act cannot be used in as evidence in basically any proceeding, and that includes in Grand Juries.
So the question the author asks is “why [would Schiff] put forth this amendment [at this time]”? The author suggests “Adam Schiff’s amendment [is] trying to prohibit the use of information gathered through “violations” of domestic military operations as evidence in any form of proceedings. … snip … So using our deductive, although speculative, reasoning we have concluded that there may be a domestic military operation taking place”.
So the next question is “Can we deduce who is behind it?” Then the article notes that only in cases “expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress” can domestic military operations take place. Thus, “since Adam Schiff is a congressman and he is also the one who put forth this amendment, it’s safe to conclude that if there are any military operations happening domestically, it would be one that was not authorized by congress.”
So what circumstances could initiated domestic use of the military? Well, the article points out that Homeland Defense is considered a “Constitutional exception”. … snip … If the military was going to operate domestically, somebody would have to give the order for them to do so, and an order like this would have to come from the very top. …. snip … The individual at the top of the chain of command is the President.”
SO …
“If it wasn’t congress who authorized the military to operate domestically, it had to have been the President, but the current President, Joe Biden, is an ally of Adam Schiff. Why would Adam Schiff put forth a bill that could somehow affect something Joe Biden authorized? It doesn’t make any sense?” This leads the author to suppose that “Donald Trump knew the election was going to be stolen, he considered it an act of war, and he implemented a continuity of government plan as his countermove.”
The author then suggests that behind the scenes, Trump has been getting ready to take back the country using evidence gathered by domestic military units operating clandestinely against the democRATS. So Schiff is trying to prevent that evidence from being used against them in any court or venue should Trump win the 2024 election or be reinstated as President. Interesting theory.
I don’t know about that last bit you posted. I don’t believe President Trump is doing anything with the military. The military is woke and is actively being purged of patriots and conservatives, if not the same thing. Via CRT in the military ideological brainwashing and the vaccine mandate because, as you know, skeptical conservatives have refused the vaccine in lieu of early treatment. My son’s friend who is in the Marines is the last one left of his troop who refused the vaccine and is still waiting to come home. It’s been so long, I wonder why they are keeping him but he is doing janitorial duties, they are not training him at all anymore, according to his mother. Obama purged the Military of their Top Brass and installed his commies and now they are purging the ranks via Biden administration and what’s left will be the Leftie useful idiots.
Kaco – “I don’t know about that last bit you posted. I don’t believe President Trump is doing anything with the military. The military is woke and is actively being purged”
The fact that the military is actively being purged means that the job isn’t done yet. We know Trump was meeting with people from the counter intelligence arena and military intelligence just prior to 2020. Isn’t it possible that elements of those groups were gathering information that Trump intended to use against the traitors that he knew were subverting the 2020 election? That’s not unbelievable.
Schiff is clearly worried about trying to prevent prosecution using such information for some reason. Nancy even held a special session to get the amendment into the 2023 NDAA. It might allow the WOKE DOD head to decline any request for materials related to January 6th. That would prevent GOP committees from examining the military’s rolein January 6 which we know was very curious, as well as the use of intelligence services such as NCIS. This amendment reeks of a coverup, but yes, it’s probably just more pollyanna to think Trump has an ace in the hole like this. Personally, I don’t hold out much hope that we’ll stop the cheating in 2022 or 2024. The deck is very much stacked against us now. The 2nd Amendment may be all we have.
That hopium burned out long ago with me. It is up to us to save our Republic.
‘circumstance to initiate and Trump getting ready’ Says it all.
TPTB are lining up every possibility to prevent a 2016.
Rep. Adam B. Schiff, chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
My God, think about that for a minute , it’s INSANE . He’s not only on the intelligence committee which is already beyond comprehension but he’s the chairman !!!!
Are you effing kidding me, C’MON !!!
Now I’m wondering how the WEF is connected to the Five Eyes intelligence network. Is Klaus just another puppet?
Klaus founded the WEF. He’s the new George Soros and the Soros NGOs and other anti-American activities have yet to be resolved.
I believe he, Kissinger and one other person whose name escapes me, founded WEF. There was a whole history of the WEF written online that I read a while ago. Not sure who could be above them unless it was the old ones—Rockefeller, Rothschilds. And others of that ilk.
Could be a higher rank puppet?? Just another front face, rich, but still a front face.

Wow, Sundance is a Godsend . This is truly amazing and no doubt took a ton of time to put together .
Does this need to be changed to “former Vice President”?
“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]”
.
No. In the context of time, as in when ‘now’ is on the storyline, Mike Pence was the vp and he facilitated the naming of Coats to head up the ODNI.
OK…just checking.
“by their fruit, you shall know them”….this is why I call him VP Traitor since that infamous date J6. even though he had established his credentials as far back as pre-Inauguration Day with the Michal Flynn lie that took out an American patriot from PDJT administration before he ever got started
American citizens are now the enemy , pay no mind to the millions of foreigners flooding across the border .
Obama is cancerous.
Obama is just a puppet as Biden just not an imbecilic.
Like so many, Zalensky, Trudope, Macaroni, selected and groomed, and inserted to play a role.
same thing here with Ardern

I see freedom lovers worldwide as easily dispatched by this massive Beast. I used to fear an EMP attack. Now I see mind boggling amounts of fentanyl in our midst. Enough to kill the world many times. Biowarfare as well. The new weaponry can destroy any “enemy” and leave their possessions unharmed for the NWO enjoyment. Such a clean genocide can be achieved.
This Beast has mocked God too long. He created us in His image.
Yet this Beast has targeted and sacrificed His creation of life by way of abortion.
The Beast desires to manipulate even gender.
Innocents are trafficked for their squealing pleasure.
Now, they dare to tamper with our genetic make up; they destroy the very image of God’s most prized creation.: we HIS people.
God cannot wait much longer. They are truly sinners in the hand of an angry god.
This is the end game. The only thing to be won are souls now. Nations are expendable.
SD, please write a book on this already.

A wise man once said…”follow the money, there are trillions at stake.”
Obama didn’t weaponize anything, he’s part of bush seniors rollout of nwo – its the direction bush sr and whoever it is he ultimately serves – has determined the world needs to go.
There was no stopping this from happening – it’s the natural sequence of our evolution playing out. Indeed, someone had to direct the world into unison because power must be consolidated to continue on our species. It’s that simple. We cannot have individual countries vying for the number one spot – it will result in potentially sending our species back to the Stone Age.
We no longer have a choice in the matter anyway – they now control everything, including our reality.
What’s that mean? They supply the information for our consumption. We cannot communicate without them – at least not in any significant numbers. But that doesn’t even matter because they control our emotions, and our opinions too. The design is going to be accepted by all but the oldest generations. This is how it’s always been done – the young are inculcated, the old are disgruntled about it, and the young mock the old for not being open minded. The old die and a new reality is inherited. It could be one where freedom is shunned as something dangerous. Whatever it is, the plan is nevertheless systematically implemented step by step. So, internet, 9/11 to enact laws to control that new abundant information, then the next generation has Covid which enacts laws to control the people, and in 15 years or so there will be another major world change, and again and again. This is how massive populations are shepherded.
There’s no stopping this sequence of events. The only thing we can do is accept that it’s happening, and perhaps devise ways to make it better for ourselves and offspring. And no, there’s no country that isn’t a participant in this construct.
Knowledge of a thing is not a cure, but merely a tool to protect the few that come to the realization of it…for a while. It is becoming necessary to burn the village down in order to save it…fill thy hand pilgrim. We are about to be overwhelmed.
“There’s no stopping this sequence of events.”
Yep, totally FUBAR. Fouled Up Beyond All Repair (my slightly altered version of that acronym).
It’s way, WAY past the point of being able to fix this. Corruption at every level of government with the so-called “elected” portion not even actually in charge and near-Stasi levels of surveillance.
We have a hedonistic, dumbed down society that is no longer taught its rights under our Constitution and their suddenly becoming aware of what they have already lost isn’t going to happen.
They were never taught the essential, learned skill of critical thought and, therefore, are easily manipulated by the perfect for the purpose smarter-than-they-are phone propaganda distribution device. That comes from the fact that the characteristics of those phones, small screens, result in 6 out of 10 Americans getting their news entirely from clickbait headlines which they pass on to their digital acquaintances while never bothering to read the content below the headline which when not horribly biased often contradicts the clickbait title.
Therefore, guess whose side these dolts would be on during any “revolution.” Even total economic collapse taking away their games and circuses would have them being easily manipulated against the wrong targets. Mass Formation Psychosis.
“devise ways to make it better for ourselves and offspring”
Yep…
Lulz. I did not vote to be a mishmash global slave to a bunch of crony capitalist “lords of the manor” stage managed by a demon from hell overlord of everything. I am a free-born American and I intend to stay that way. There are millions like me.
lol, ok
The Patriot Act:
And Republicans did this to themselves. Only two senators spoke out against the Partriot act. Senator Ron Paul from Texas and Senator Russ Feingold from Wisconsin. One of those Senators caved and voted for the Patriot act anyway. One Senator held firm and voted against the Patriot act, Senator Russ Feingold from Wisconsin.
The Republicans supported Bush lockstep, and did this to themselves.
Feingold was the only U.S. Senator to vote against the original USA Patriot Act, which was approved 98-1 on October 25, 2001. The House earlier approved the legislation by a vote of 357-66, with 62 Democrats voting against it along with three Republicans and Independent Rep. Bernie Sanders of Vermont
RON Paul was a representative from TX, not a Senator.
SD – Thank you so much for such an invaluable service.
Jan 6 Committee has one overarching goal and that is the reason the term “insurrection”is used.
Protestors, shepherded into Capitol by government actors, are being labeled “insurrectionists”. Their Rights trampled upon as they sit in jail for 18 months.
This is a trial run for what is to come as legal citizens begin to understand the elected representatives sold them out for profit.
Have always wondered if Bush 43 really thought he was doing the right thing with the Patriot act, or if he knew he was ushering in an era of Big Brother/ Big Govt citizen surveillance.
To me, this began with Ruby Ridge in 1992. It became plainly evident in 1993, when Louis Freeh sent 1500 confidential FBI files to Bernie Nussbaum at the Clinton White House…and got away with it.
This topic is worth a book, and is very well detailed here.
I think it useful to mention set the precedent for this expansion of power of the intelligence community began with the empowerment of the regulatory state in the rest of the bureaucracy. One early offender was the EPA.
Although what happened in Intel was worse, it was the regulatory state that succeeded in turning American corporations into the piggy bank for the left.
A corporate exec explained it líke the mob stopping by to say “Gee, what a nice place you got here…be a shame if da puddle by da urinal got declared a protected wetland.”
It’s actually worse than what Sundance describes. Our White House and the people in the upper levels of our government, including the fourth branch , have been captured or are being controlled by the CCP, the World Economic Forum, George Soros, etc. So not only do we have the power of the federal government directed at American citizens, the so called Americans in our government in all the three letter agencies, the White House, the legislative branch, and the fourth branch are being controlled by our enemies. That’s why it feels like we are under attack. It’s because we are. This is a nightmare scenario beyond comprehension. Voting is not going to solve this. I don’t know how in the world this can be fixed other than another war of the states against the federal government. The federal government simply must be reigned in and the three letter agencies and the fourth branch must be dissolved. Anything not in the constitution must be left to the states to do as they see fit. This whole one size fits all centralized government must simply cease to exist. This would relieve the pressure cooker that we are in. If you don’t agree with how your state runs things, move to another state. No more dictates coming from fedgov.
Liz Cheney and Kinzinger will be investigated next year – they’ve already been caught in multiple lies.
And Barr is our savior… oh, wait, Durham is our savior… oh, wait…

And who could forget Sessions? He was a savior, too! Oh, wait…. /s
I am sure president trump knows
Many have realized what is going on and Obama being behind the structuring of it all as well as being the puppet master behind joe Biden. Why do you think he is called joebama?
We have known since the IRS targeting of true the votes Catherine englebright
And other conservative groups
We also know that the republicans either did nothing to stop this or are complicit
After the stolen election
In 2020 and the suspected payoffs and republicans perhaps also benefitting from dominion voting systems I suspect we know most of it
What we don’t know is what we can do to fix it
Sundance, just WOW!
You put yourself at risk to educate and inform us! This was like reading a book,!
I plan to donate to you later today, everyone should. You give us truth that we can get no where else.
Two words that prove the absolute truth of Sundance’s theories: Hunter Biden.i
Sundance, PLEASE write a book on this.
The world needs to see these dots connected with references.
No one does it better than you.

I have sent links in the past to many people. Sometimes the light bulbs goes off, and sometimes the people find it to hard to accept. They live a life trying to make ends meet and don’t follow politics.
One thing about BHO. I have never looked at BHO as that competent to pull this off. I believe he was, and is, an IC asset. His rise from obscurity, his profits from book sales few would read, et cetera tells me it was the IC all along picking our politicians. BHO, like Biden, was just another avatar.
If one thing, out of many, that would get Tucker Carlson fired, it would be taking your article and airing it.
This conversation touches on a few things that are relevant…
Also a good reminder @ 1:01:30, of how in 2014- Brennan first denies, then admits to CYA hacking into Senate Intel Committee computers during the time they were being investigated for torture & abuses.
Brennan says “whoops, sorry,” & the now compromised SSCI conveniently drops the ball on any further investigation.

I blame rhe Republicans for everything because, because they lured the American people to a Potemkin opposition.
This is very interesting stuff, but after 911, without knowing any of this, I realized 911 was used to spy and control US citizens, not actual terrorists. 911 was an inside job and now we know why: To control Americans and gain absolute power. When Willian Binney realized he was creating a system to spy on Americans he blew the whistle on it, to no avail. And look where we are now. They make us go through our own airports with our arms raised conditioning us to behave like submissive prisoners of war in our own country. Can you say training us to go to cattle cars and prison camps? Patriot Act? More like Traitor Act. Flip everything they say 180 and there lies the truth.
One other thing people forget about Trump, and I am not in any way disagreeing with SD’s analysis but this is a small point; Trump is independently wealthy, he does not need anyone’s money, so he can not be bought. That is one of the main reasons I voted for him in 2016, along with his non-interventionist foreign policy. Since he cannot be bought and apparently there is nothing to black mail him over, he is not controllable and that must scare them to death also.

Yeah, because the one guy that SHOULD have denied the FISA renewals signed them, without explanation!!!
People put WAY too much faith into Trump being on the correct side of things.
There was a time not long ago when there was a lot of noise about Hillary Clinton’s “dossier’s” and how they were used to intimidate and blackmail her enemies. As is apparent in this article that was just a teaspoon out of an ocean of collected information on everyone in this country. This article was an excellent expose but begs the obvious question “ when ALL the players are compromised how can it be changed?” I offer no solutions.
Solution: Dump all the control files in the public domain.
