President Barack Obama’s former campaign manager David Plouffe famously said of Donald Trump’s entry into politics: “It is not enough to simply beat Trump. He must be destroyed thoroughly. His kind must not rise again.”
What was it that Washington DC and President Obama’s team feared so much about Donald J Trump?
The answer to that question is why the FBI, DOJ and CIA targeted Trump in 2016; and why they continued the targeting in 2017 with the Mueller investigation; and why they continued the targeting through two attempts at impeachment in 2019 and 2020; and why they still keep targeting Donald Trump with the J6 committee and a DOJ investigation two years after he is no longer in office.
Donald J Trump is the existential threat.
When your business involves gaining personal wealth by selling out America, Donald Trump is bad for business.
Barack Obama, John Brennan, Eric Holder and James Comey did not create a weaponized DOJ and FBI; the institutions were already weaponized by the Patriot Act. What the Obama era officials did was take the preexisting system and retool it, so those weapons of government only conducted surveillance and targeting toward one side of the political dynamic.
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.
George W Bush is not an innocent player in this either. His family has been intertwined with the C_A since his dad was the head of it. GWB used 9/11 to put the weapons, used by Obama et al, into play with the help of a Republican Senate and House. The whole DC swamp system is corrupt regardless of party affiliation. The majority of them, Republican and Democrat, are playing on the same team and looked the other way as the Kenyan and his minions fined tuned the weaponizing of the fourth branch.
Great post!
with a database of all human’s activities, with a live feature to zero in on a devices MAC number or whatever to actively sureveil a person in real time, … how could any person without a high moral character do anything else but what they are told by the blackfile holder?
In order to truly “make them an offer they can’t refuse” the most effective way is both a carrot, and a stick.
Do as we ask, we won’t use this blackmail info against you, AND here are all the benefits you get, for being a member of the club, which includes quashing any investigations of you or family.
Yep.
i don’t see many of ‘them in power” looking upset about the new benefits. in fact, I don’t see any that look like a hostage.
The honest ones resign/retire.
Makes me wonder if ANY of them are legit.
Are people like MTG, DeSantis and Dr Rand simply gatekeepers?
Hard to believe they are, but wouldn’t they be gone already?
Some people are of a high moral value and just flat out fighters! Give these people a break. On the other hand they could be squeaky clean like Trump and don’t care what is thrown at them. If they didn’t do anything then they can’t blackmail you. I just love when they accuse Trump of something he just smiles that great smirk he has. Cause he knows they have nothing unless they make somthing up.
Washington D.C. is a city of spies, informers, and bought men who love to stay bought.
Now it makes sense why there are so many in government and media who are all in! They must have things that the IC has on them to compromise them (BLACKMAIL)! Then again when it comes to the media I personally think they are actually paid operatives of the IC. It makes sense to me.
yes, and herein lies the explanation for 9/11.
The Big Club.
And we ain’t in it! Moochie is huge. He must be working out.
Hard to believe that the cia and fbi didn’t know about the 9/11/2001 attacks beforehand.
They seem to know about every attack that happens. Now we’ve got DHS and a commie from Cuba running it.
HW was an asset long before he became CIA head.
David Fluff and his MAO democRATS are THE existential threat to America. Communism CANNOT continue to BE ALLOWED in our government. The MAO democRATS must be ABOLOLISHED at any cost and by any means necessary. This is life or death to the Republic. PURGE THEM ALL!
they are a threat to the world.
No, actually the DECLARED Democrats are not the threat, IMHO.
Without their partners, the Democrats with an R after their name, the Declared Democrats would be a minor annoyance.
And, the Declared Democrats role is, in large part to get our attention, and engender such strong feelings of hatred, that we lose critical thinking, and thereby don’t question what are otherwise obviously stupid, illogical arguments of the “lesser of two weavils” variety, you know “vote straight R!” or “Vote for the R, even if they’re a RINO, cause the Dem is WORSE!” and even more esoteric arguments if false logic like “avoid ideological purity tests!”
Now, finally (after 60 years at least!) WE are seeing thru this ruse, and taking back the Republican party.
You are correct and this MAO disease is prevalent in corporate America, Wall Street and education.
they are bolshevic communists
I cannot write it. They are watching.
I know it’s a tangent, but it struck me. Interesting choice of words.
“his kind”
Now, whatever might he mean by THAT? Plouffe is Catholic. Is he referring to Protestants?
“must not rise again”
If this had been said by some old-money Boston Brahmin, tenth generation Haavud legacy, Lowells and Cabots scattered through the family tree, who knows which blocks of downtown Boston were once the family farm, that would be a context in which such snobbery might be expected. A member of the established elite protecting his privilege against “outsiders” and new money, well, it’s an American cliché, isn’t it? It’s Caddyshack.
But Plouffe grew up blue-collar in Wilmington, Delaware. Dad worked in a factory. Dropped out of the University of Delaware. No degree. No pedigree. No family money. A regular guy.
Yet somehow, this once blue-collar guy who now hangs out with political Big Guys now sees himself as a gatekeeper for the elite, the Big Club, deciding on his own who is good enough in America. But then, that is another American cliché, isn’t it?
What does Ploof mean by that?
Haven’t you heard?

I assumed by “his kind” he meant demagogue.
patriotic American Culture loving Americans
If your definition of demagogue is, “A leader of the common people for their exclusive good”, then yes.
If your definition is, “A leader carefully chosen and groomed from preferred stock, then illegally installed with the goal of playing off the emotions and prejudices of select portions of the populase, in an attempt to maintain control of the whole, and thereby preserve the status quo, then no.
They can’t allow an honest man with his own money in the White House.
Can’t risk having someone in there that loves the country.
Excellent piece of work. I had no idea how bad this had become. I understood early on that Obama thought he was above the law, refused to enforce the rule of law on his banker donor friends and now I can see how all of this happened.
Our nation was still pretty decent towards one another until this miscreant rolled into town.
Still love to get his DNA from a discarded cig or styrofoam cup- behold! The son of Frank Marshall.
This particular article of SD’s is the one that never fails to enrage me and chill me to the bone at the same time. It’s incomprehensible for most of us to envision the level of evil and greed it takes to be a part of something like this; to thoroughly corrupt the entire government for personal gain.
Then to go after one’s political opponents KGB style with impunity, in fact with the help of the “justice” department. And it’s going on worldwide.
How empty and devoid of any humanness must a person be to even entertain such thoughts, let alone actions. And yet, we must believe because our very existence is dependent on our awareness.
1) drop the smartphone
2) stop texting
3) figure out a way to communicate pre-nsa database
What you just said.
We lack an off-the-shelf, secure method of communicating/organizing.
(except for the very limited and local face to face, know thy neighbor method)
Solving that problem would be yuuge.
peer to peer platforms.
no hubs
How traceable are faxes? Just wondering . Remember hearing ” the fax is what brought down
the former Soviet Union”?
Wondering if “they” are able to spy on fax exchanges. Almost anyone is better with tech then
YTG. So, anyone?
It all makes sense when you realize that during Obamas administration he has the whole country switch from analog to digital. With digital it’s easier to keep track and spy on people.
It’s not that they are “empty and devoid of……xxx.” It’s what they’re full of that explains it.
Digging our nation out of this mess is going to require massive effort and sadly, but for a few I fear the leaders of our nation are unwilling and/or incapable of the task. The detailed analysis by Sundance is appreciated, but the attention span of the average citizen is short. The call to action must be simple and concise. Time is quickly running out.
We’re running out of options. Soon there will be only one way. And our lives will forever be changed.
Right now, I’m waiting to see the outcome of the mid-term election. We are going to see if ‘ANYTHING’ has been done to make the corruption of our elections as minimal as possible. I fool myself not, there has always been some cheating, but not on the scale of the 2020 election and in our face corruption.
If things continue as they are after the mid-term with no change in direction, good bye America hello trouble like we have not seen 150 years.
Starting in 2023 – PDJT’s campaigning will appear as an election oriented movement. in reality, it will be massive meetings of people local to you, in each place he throws a rally.
Those gatherings and continued relationships will provide mass movement of action primed for a moment.
George Washington Revolution. Not an election. Vote with your feet and let the mob mentality take over.
Why did Mark Warner request the Carter Page FISA?
1) to leak it to start the narrative
or
2) to read it and get caught up (and the leak wasnt desired, but happened because that was the habit of the Security Officer)
At the time of the request, March 17, 2017, the goal in DC was to get a special counsel appointed. They needed Mueller to open an investigation and keep everything “Trump-Russia” under control.
Warner requests and receives the FISA application March 17, 2017.
James Comey appears before the House Intelligence Committee, three days later (March 20, 2017) and declares for the first time that Donald Trump is under an active FBI investigation for Trump-Russia.
It was the combination of the Comey testimony, together with the leaks to media from Warner (via Wolfe) about the FISA, that fueled the media cycle and set the stage for the special counsel (Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissman) to enter, targeting Trump and covering up all the prior FBI, DOJ, CIA and SSCI wrongdoing.
Warner requested the FISA to leak it.
Comey appeared in congress to promote it.
those last 2 lines perfectly made everything click in my mind on this.
“Warner requested the FISA to leak it. (March 17, 2017)
Comey appeared in congress to promote it.” (March 20, 2017)
Spread the word, but cautiously.
No finer a cabal of wretched vermin parading / masquerading as fine upstanding politicians sworn to uphold the laws of the Constitution has slithered across the earth desecrating and corrupting everything in their path and beyond.
They don’t care about the constitution, it’s just in their way.
Warner>>Wolfe>>Watkins
Viola!
Sundance, these major articles should be preserved both electronically and in hardcopy form. They are the finest chronicle of the decline and end of our nation. Someone, perhaps decades from now, will awaken from the totalitarian slumber, yearning for knowledge and freedom and find the material useful.
They hate him because of:
1. America First.
He tried to put America First in all of his decision making and policies.
2. Promises made/ Promises kept.
He tried to keep any promise that he made.
3. A new Schedule F employment category for Federal Employees.
He was going after the Fourth Branch of Government.
Think the answer to that question is in what President Trump was doing by beginning the process of Making America Great Again.
It is not just that they have been using the deep state to check their internal opposition. They have used it to cover up their own corruption including financial gains, business and political advantage, and treason. I am sure it is in the trillions. Imagine if this apparatus had been aimed at the effects of foreign influence on our country. It would have been pretty easy to do but that would have been them investigating themselves which never works too well.
So all of this outstanding analysis by SD brings me to this one question: Who is Barack Obama? How does one new president have the power/connections to completely take over the federal government and transform our country? Makes no sense when compared to other presidents…only thing I can come up with is he is a CIA/FBI operative and has been most of his life. If someone has another explanation I would love to hear it.
how did he win his senate seat (a credibile position for entry into the whitehouse)?
He forced all other competitors off the ballot due to invalid signatures…in other words, he made sure he had no competition. oops…this was state senate race. I think he repeated this for all his elections.
I don’t remember all of it, but part of it was he was able to open an opponent’s sealed divorce records before the election. There was some shenanigans before that with his election but I don’t remember them. Don’t forget he had given the big speech at the DNC which added credibility to his position.
I think Jack Ryan is who you’re talking about. His ex was Jeri Ryan the actress.
He was a Goldman-Sachs banker guy. He was running against the great community activist.
Glad I moved out of Illinois.
https://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/06/25/il.ryan/
“Flashback: In 1996, Obama Challenged Signatures To Get All His Primary Opponents Thrown Off the Ballot”Started with dirty tricks – no surprises. Most likely followed up by rigging the vote the following November.
I remember when Buraq was running for a seat in the US congress Illinois 1st district.
He lost to Bobby Rush, the old black panther from the 1960s. He’s still there.
Glad I left Illinois.
When all is said and done, Obama is a tool of international communist playing his role in undermining America
Trevor Loudon provides probably the best deep dive into the international communist movement
The Chicago Communist cadre: Ayers, Axelrod, Emanuel, Jarrett. To this day, those four run their patsy, Barack Hussein Obama. Obama is a vainglorious fornicating sodomite who never had one original thought. Obama is even more of a tool than Biden.
“I doubt Donald Trump fully comprehends the motives of his opposition.”
I agree.
Someone should tell him.
This composition is the perfect way to make the point.
Thank you, Sundance.
raise money to put a billboard outside of his golf course – on it “Tell PDJT to go to theconversativetreehouse.com”
He, or perhaps Don Jr, is ALREADY here, lol.
Trust me on this.
The instances of Sundance posting an article, disclosing a previously obscure linkage, or suggesting a view of something,…ans within an HOUR OR LESS, PDJT repeating itbin a tweet (back when he tweeted) are too numerous to list, although I suspect Sundance has noticed every one,…I know I have although I can not now list them.
We actually have a large, distibnguished “viewership” although relatively few ‘famous people’ come out of “lurker” status and openly post.
Why are Obama, Holder, Comey, Clapper, Jeh Johnson, Susan Rice, Hillary Clinton,
Loretta Lynch allowed to keep Stealing OUR Air ?
it is in the article: local elections! NO ONE in congress has YET to blow the lid off this! They leave.. including Nunes. Send this to all running and ask: are you willing to gight to SAVE America?
I want to see Plouffe, his family, all his relatives hang for their crimes. we need revolution to make sure his kind never are allowed to reproduce.
Yeah, there is a reason why they’re all promoting DeSantis now. They will love him until/if he can beat Trump in the primaries, then they will turn on him like rabid dogs, especially since Trump is building an army of loyal GOP politicians who will be beholden to him after the mid terms.
Its NOT just, or even primarily the politics of back scratching, PDJT TRIED that, giving his endorsement to several Rinos headed for defeat, ‘saving’ them, only to have them backstab him,…Kemp comes to mind, but there were others.
The enemy did a great service to PDJT and the A1 movement, by stealing 2020.
It now easy to seperate the wheat from the chaff, on a single question they can NOT wiggle out of.
ALL 12 of PDJT’s endorsed candidates in Az. have double digit leads in the polls, and have campaigned on “2020 was STOLEN, and we MUST fix it!”
A Kemp, a Ducey etc. will NEVER say that, and the audit battle and attempt to pass 11 seperate election reform bills in the State legislsture, forced the Dems with an R after their name to identify their true nature, for all to see.
Desantis still has some YUGE ? marks aftervhis name, and I hope soon he will have challengers to his Title of “MAGA Governor”.
ANY Governor could have ended the Covid plandemic, early on by two simple acts fully within his authority, make Ivermectin OTC, and inform Hospitals that the STATE Dept of Health, which issues (and can revoke) the Hospitals “Certificate of Use” (basically their licence to operate) requires they file WEEKLY reports of # of deaths WITH, seperatevfrom # of deaths FROM, and # of admissions WITH, seperate from # of deaths FROM.
ANY arrests of J6’ers in any State, required the co-operation of State or Local LE, cause Federal officers don’t actually have any Police powers, to arrest or conduct searches, except on Federal property.
Just as States Sheriffs (that arevin charge of prisoners) have refused to “honor” detention requests from ICE, State and local pd COULD refuse to participate in these SHOW arrests.
But Desantis is “Our MAGA Governor”? not sold
An army of loyal GOP politicians? You mean like RINO “doctor” Oz?
David Puff the “GloboHOMO”? Why is this creature still breathing, shouldn’t he have already succumbed to the ravages of HIV/AIDS
Will he be the first high-profile American to get the MONKEYPOX?
HIV/AIDS is not the killer it was once touted as being.
Haven’t you noticed Magic Johnson, who publically aknowledged he is HIV+ at LEAST 10 YEARS AGO, is still alive and functioning normally?
Or, are you just not paying attention?
HIV/AIDS was Covid, beta test.
As it stands now, if the patient takes a pill, costing $3000/1 month supply of 30 pills, FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIFE, they will have NO symptoms, little chance of spreading (even to intimate partners) and every reason to expect to live a full life. They WILL die WITH HIV, they will NOT die FROM HIV.
From Big Pharma standpoint,..”whats not to like?”
Of coarse, ultimately the Gov is paying for the treatment.
Does this resemble COVID?
Bet David Plouffes ASS!
“His kind”-sounds racist, Pooft.
“,..His KIND (emphasis mine) must never rise again.”
We are seeing this sentiment play out, RIGHT NOW in the primary contests which in SOME States, are “RINO” vs MAGA.
The RINOS, who are normally and falsely said to “Play by Marquis of Queensbury rules” as a way to explain their squishy non confrontational responce to their Dem partners in crime, are showing their true nature for all to see.
Its bare knuckled, no holds barred streetbrawling, and yes they ARE attempting to cheat.
Fortunately, we KNOW how to spot and call out cheating, even preemptively, and swamping the algorythm makes it far more challenging for them to be succesful.
In addition, their most effective way of manipulating results, was Dems running as R’s, and that just ain’t working, no more.
Just the attempted steals being so blatant, and NOT being used against SOME R candidates (Rinos) but only against MAGA, is causing more to red-pill on the true nature of the R party.
As Ploufe said, they are not just scared if Trump, they are scared if US, and ANY A1 Candidate, because despite their intimidation tactics, they are not NEARLY “there yet”.
They do not yet have nearly the control they would need to have, to implement their agenda.
And, every A1 candidate who survives the gauntlet run, and makes it into office, is not just a thorn in their side, it is a stab in the heart.

“Treating the American people, especially conservatives, as the main threat results from the growth and clarification of attitudes endemic to Progressivism and already translated into policy and lack thereof by such luminaries as Dean Acheson, William Fulbright, Robert McNamara, Jimmy Carter, Anthony Lake, (Obama’s original mentor on national security,) and even by Henry Kissinger. Many among them identified with William Appleman Williams’s thesis (The Tragedy of American Diplomacy, 1959) that America was on the wrong side of the Cold War. America’s defeat by foreigners does not threaten these progressives’ prerogatives and identities as do their domestic rivals.
Blaming domestic rivals to deflect defeat’s consequences in foreign wars is all too usual. Nevertheless, statements by Joe Biden’s Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley that “domestic extremists,” whom they functionally define as whomever opposes the ruling class, pose the greatest danger of terrorism—especially if they are white—is egregious in history. The official reorientation of the U.S. armed forces’ focus on fighting what is arguably the American people’s majority, is even more so. A grassroots progressive group called the Democratic Coalition leaves no doubt about the ruling class’s 2021 practical agenda: “we cannot rest until all of Trump’s traitorous, insurrectionist foot soldiers face justice.” Insofar as they are serious, and even if they are not, this augurs civil war.” …….
The True Origins of ‘America First’:
The professor explained how the FBI stalked and baited him: How Our Oligarchy Crushes Terrorism:
After the FBI targeted him for entrapment, he contracted COVID. After he recovered from COVID, a random drunk driver ran him down while crossing the street.
Huh. What are the odds?
“Mr. Bond, they have a saying in the Swamp: ‘Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it’s enemy action’.”
He was dangerous to this Regime. The truth always is.
Yet he spoke it anyway.
He could do no other.
Rest in the Vine: Angelo in the House: Speaking Codevilla
this article by Sundance and every one of our comments brings us closer to the truth. will the truth make us free?
Well, lies certainly won’t.
This article is one of the best – If not the Best Truth filled Report …[Lord knows we all need more Truth]….That I’ve read in a very long time….Well Done !!!!
Reader(UK) asks who is doing this and I replied Nancy Pelosi is one of those people. Then I thought Nancy(politicians) would not be able to do this without the media pushing it. So we do have many of the names: Beezos, Murdock, Slim, Zukerberg, who or what runs Twitter which is staffed by people from India, whoever runs the movie studios are a start. So, Reader(UK) asks who. The answer to who is evident. My question is WHY are they destroying western culture.
Terrorists control the Intelligence Community, the FBI and the DOJ.
Yes, they can and will be scraped off.
Every day they get a bit more brazen and a lot more careless.
Poisoning the Military was a grave error.
We were living in L.A. when the Berlin Wall fell. As Wife and I watched the celebrations on television, I told her then, “All those spies who were spying on Russia will be repurposed to spy on us. Bureaucrats never get fired, they get repurposed.” Wazzirite or, wazzirite? First time I heard Bushy-wushy talk about “The Patriot Act” I knew we were in for a rocky ride. Patriot Act! Ha ha ha. It’s a sick joke.
I hesitate to ask this, but is it possible for Sundance to meet with Trump and explain this?
I hate to think of Trump not knowing even a small part of what he’s facing.
Hey, the My Pillow guy got an audience and more with Trump.Why not Sundance?
he knows! this is why they got rid of him…
I do not understand why anyone would use any social media at this point. We lived without it before and we can again. Heck, use as little media as possible. Turn it off. Life in the natural world is better in every way. I refuse to wear a label and be a part of the great divide.
I have a feeling that nothing short of 100% of internet users refusing that utility at once and permanently will stop any of this.
The military introduced ARPANet in the 60s. Things weren’t perfect before that, but this theoretically helpful tool, has turned against us.
I, also, contend that it has made people lazy and stupid.
A Genius level article.
I just came across a great video clip about how to connect all these dots and see the bigger picture.
“Constantly look for origin stories of why things exist.”
These deep staters are an existential threat to human life everywhere. We would much better off without them. They should be prosecuted and locked away. We should also extract confessions, especially when it comes to identifying the globalist overlords who issue the orders.
If not stopped, these people will kill billions.
The Globalist Overlords meet in Davos yearly, right? It isn’t as if they are in hiding., I’m curious how you would “extract confessions?”
We know their names. I bet they are laughing right now, reading that you want them prosecuted and locked away. So far, they have managed to stay safe.
Evil of Biblical proportions. It is no wonder we were not/are not, have not been
aware of the deep level of evil because it goes against everything written in the Bible. It goes against every bit of human nature. This is something a God following person could not even imagine. It is unfathomable.
Finally the puzzle done. I always knew obama, but did not know the depth of the mechanisms. But I will never forget or forgive GWB after 9/11.. ‘gotta create DHS, gotta make sure all agencies can share info’ .lying deepstate pos. Brilliant article. I am so disappointed in those who left the SSCI, rather than fight and expose this nightmare.. those not named and Nunes.. Rubio? Yea, had a feeling he wasnt to be trusted, either. WHY cant people – Congress and pols.. live and let live? Why spend every waking hour on gaining power, destruction of America, evil gamesmanship? I think its so telling that people have NO idea that the Arabs even ran from obama.. Pure evil. Thank god we are slowly replacing bad actors. We will see who is strong.
Another great expose from Sundance! All I can say is that we’re gonna need an awful lot of guillotines !
We need a “Destroy the Intel Branch” caucus. I am sending this to everyone running. Asking: Are you willing to REALLY fight for this country,? for We The People?
It’s hard to believe there are so many who are willing to sell out America for personal gains.
What is ‘his kind’? Honest hard working Americans who believe in liberty and the constitution, that’s who. The real question is…What is your kind.
Sundance … my one question … as I continue to read your thorough review:
RINO traitors were content to be enablers (while operating as Chamber of Commerce moneywhores) and allow the demonRATS to implement their evil destruction of America
… but …
The RATS – incompetent as they are – are in control.
Are the RINOS being completely sidelined?
