I am ONE Hour into listening to the Three-Hour broadcast that Elon Musk joined tonight {YouTube Here}, and the amount of cognitive dissonance and circular discussion is off the proverbial charts.
Elon Musk joins the “Twitter Stages” conversation at 01:03:00 of the VIDEO HERE. Musk noted that in addition to Matt Taibbi he has given the Twitter files to Bari Weiss. However, the debate over what DC bureaucrats did -and are doing- from within the Biden administration, to censor speech, take down social media content and stop information adverse to their political interests, is a futile conversation without the full understanding of the current U.S. surveillance state.
Some of the stage participants on the call with Mr. Musk have self-identified as targeted by the intelligence community, some are under active and ongoing investigation, yet they do not seem to have an understanding of what this U.S. social media surveillance system is.
We cannot fight our way through the issues until we first realize what lies at the root of the problem.
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.
Elevator Speech:
(1) The Patriot Act turned the intel surveillance radar from foreign searches for terrorists to domestic searches for terrorists.
(2) Obama/Biden then redefined what is a “terrorist” to include their political opposition.
DEEP DIVE:
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.
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 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 arm’s 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…. The targeting of President Trump in order to preserve the system, the system that was weaponized during the Obama administration, is what the actions of the DOJ and FBI were all about.
What would powerful people in DC do to stop the American people from finding this out?
…. Including a raid on Mar-a-Lago.
If only people understood how accurate this really is.
(1) The Patriot Act turned the intel surveillance radar from foreign searches for terrorists to domestic searches for terrorists.
(2) Obama/Biden then redefined what is a "terrorist" to include their political opposition. https://t.co/EW43WmpeaT

Support Ongoing CTH Research HERE
Someday, Sundance, you will be honored for the excellent work you do. Whether it is in this life or the next in Eternity. Thank you for your tireless efforts and God bless you and yours with safety, resilience, provision, good health, the peace that surpasses all understanding… and simply with enough. Enough to get by, get going, and keep going. Love and hugs from Central Indiana.
AMEN JWoo AMEN
I wish I knew who you are. How you keep yourself secret is astonishing
We know what Sundance is … a faithful great American freedom loving warrior !
That’s all we need to know .
Sundance wants to live. LOL
I concur…impressive.
100 percent correct!!!!
THANK GOD for the time, effort, and research. It is so appreciated by all of us here.
CTH is a beacon of light for those attempting to assimilate the barrage of information required to make sense of the insanity (our government).
Thank you so much.
I wonder if the clear violations of the Constitution and numerous election laws revealed by the Intelligence agencies to treasonously and criminally steal the 2020 and 2022 elections be the catalyst for America to right the course and be the “seeds of destruction” as Frank Hebert quotes for this cabal of traitors, grifters, and criminals?
How do we (legally!) get rid of the rot in the FBI/DOJ and the Republican rot in the Senate?
They do not follow rules but they know you all will.. It’s like a parent tricking a child into being good because Santa is watching. Just another form of slavery but the slaves bind themselves due to their belief.
The Constitution is law in this country.. But all of the lawfare created by them makes any action in defense of that Constitution illegal. So you bind your hands and the hands of your children and grand children in defense of those chains.. and with each generation getting farther from the Constitution.
Screw the binding and the chains !
Live Free or Die.
It’s everyone’s CHOICE –
1) go along with corruption being a part in EVIL as the Devil’s owned pawn
or
2) work to destroy this evil enemy
You’ll get a coal in your stocking for that, Thrawl. But I second your motion.
Americans will do nothing. We’re in the belly of the arsenal here, such as it is: hard-hitting blogofactorial output.
Americans passed on storming the Bastille years ago, settling instead for Rush Limbob’s golden microphone of excellent bombasticism.
So not being able to take truth as presented is somehow Rush’s fault.
If it weren’t for Rush, we would have never known there was a problem.
That is true for so many people for whom Rush was the only available source of truth on the broadcast airwaves for 2+ decades. He spawned a revolution in talk radio that the media absolutely despised because it destroyed their ~150 year monopoly over information dissemination to the masses.
The patriot’s name is Rush Limbaugh. He opened more citizens eyes to the deceit and treachery of our duplicitous federal government more so than anyone with a national megaphone ever did before him.
Americans overwhelmingly have preferred to resolve political problems through the voting booth, and the majority of Americans including Rush were unaware of the growing magnitude of election fraud and cheating that has been perpetrated by rigging elections for several years. When that fraud exploded out from behind the curtains in November 2020, even Rush saw it, but he did not live long enough afterwards to educate middle America using his proven excellent style.
Since that fateful egregiously-defrauded election, there has first been a concerted effort by some brave patriots to illuminate and identify the perpetrators and methods used to fix election outcomes, and that has had limited success as the various criminally-run state and federal apparatuses have tirelessly worked to impede such discovery and punish the patriots who dared look behind the curtains.
But broad awareness always precedes the mass population’s actual actions to resolve a national problem, so bemoaning the fact that Americans have not yet “stormed the Bastille” is a bit premature, since the propagandists have effectively convinced a large but observably shrinking segment of the population that election fraud is merely a “conspiracy theory.”
At the same time, the law enforcement arm of the propagandists have deployed deliberately-overmanned squads of heavily armed FBI agents to storm the residences of anti-totalitarian political influencers and arrest them and/or seize all of their digital devices while terrorizing their families. Some elected representatives, even our current legitimate President’s home, have even been attacked by the government’s jackbooted stormtroopers in public and had their belongings searched and comms devices seized.
Only this past week did the largest social media app in the nation stop censoring discussions of the reality of the election fraud problem, and the current illegitimate government’s increasing fascism. So we have a bit more to wait while our still-sleeping fellow Americans are awakened to the breadth of the treachery among our corrupt federal, state, and even county government officials.
Well said.
Rush was great but would have been far more effective if he wasn’t followed up by the likes of Hannity. It’s the same with Tucker today.. Doesn’t matter what comes to light, it will be reformatted via carefully crafted verbal cuckery. Americans are constantly conditioned by the media, even by the media that’s supposedly on their own side. You could say they have stockholm syndrome but it’s more than that at this point.
Everyone seems to forget that Rush Limbaugh did not support President Trump during the 2015-16 primaries until he won enough votes to get the Republican nomination. It was hard to listen to him and Mark Levin(who supported Ted Cruz). There were times I had to turn off Limbaugh because the Trump bashing got so bad. I can’t explain why he did it, but in the early days, he did not get MAGA or American First via Trump.
I didn’t support Candidate DJTrump either until about halfway through the 2016 primaries. I voted for Cruz in the MD primary. Why? I didn’t know anything about Trump’s core beliefs; only knew of him through (mostly) his tv show “The Apprentice”which ran for many years. I won’t say that Rush didn’t influence my opinions, but I did not always agree with Rush. Cruz seemed the least objectionable of the candidates; I didn’t like any of the others because I knew about them. Trump was an unknown wild card for me.
Beyond that, DJT seemed (to me) to be another brash and boastful media “star” whose political opinions mattered to me about the same as most other TV stars (not much). I have never paid much attention to media darlings.
I voted FOR him in November 2016, not against Clinton, although I had become an enthusiastic supporter by late summer and was delighted he was the Republican nominee. My opinions changed in parallel to Rush’s opinions, and were likely influenced in part by Rush.
I didn’t discover Sundance and CTH until late 2017, almost a year later. It was heartening to find a blogger who thoroughly understood PDJT, his character, and his dedication and fidelity to the U.S. Constitution and the priority of the American Way of Life.
Convention of States article V of our Constitution is definitely worth the try. But being able to get 2/3 of the states to form and 3/4 to agree takes an enormous local ground campaign.
Don’t listen to the stupid John Birch Society or FACL (Foundations for Applied Conservative Leadership) campaigns who are AGAINST term limits and article V… they are detractors (RINOS) on purpose. Anyone who doesn’t want TERM LIMITS… aren’t clear of the goal to prevent professional politicians.
Politicians, like milk, should have expiration date so that special interests stop influencing them with endless money.
Go into a job making $120k to $180k and come out after a few years worth tens of millions.. that’s representation alright… but not of We The People!
Vote MAGA. Push COS. Our Forefathers gave us the road map for times such as this because they knew corruption would come! It’s the way for We The People to wrest control from an out of control Federal government.
There’s a reason that our Constitution is the longest living constitution in the world. Get educated and you can easily start with “Biblical Citizenship” through PatriotAcademy.com. It will clearly tell you where the boundaries are of local verses federal rule and will share with you so many solid truths that will equip you… and will encourage you as you’ve never been encouraged before.
It will change your life to understand this very simple… yet dramatically important… document… our Constitution.
Please… we need to be educated and have clear understanding of what we are railing for.
There’s not a Patriot Academy coach who wouldn’t do this course absolutely for free. You can take a FREE course online and if you purchase the workbook… is around $20 and most worth it for the note taking. Rick Green is a true Patriot and he loves this country and he loves us… We The People.
Online and in person classes available. Go to the website. Or buy the series and keep it to teach your descendents. Best money you’ll ever spend. DVD series around $80. It’s not bland.. is captivating… as is our nation’s founding.
8 classes each roughly 1.25 hours… plus class discussion which is indespensable… like Sundance and these comments.
God bless!
Good info JWoo. Article V of the Constitution is the remedy our Founders gave us to correct this tyranny in our federal government. Our Constitution give more power to the state legislators thru the Article process than anyone in the federal government. We need to use it! I have been involved with conventionofstates.com for many years. Mark Meckler, founder of the Tea Party, now CEO of CoS, works hand in hand with Rick Green, who runs Patriot Academy. I fully recommend either the Constituion Alive or Biblical Citizenship courses- have taken both. You will learn more about our founding principles, values and history than you were ever taught in school. As for the Convention of States project, we are promoting a n Article V convention for purpose of proposing amendments that 1.) Impose fisscal restraints on th federal government, 2.) limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government and 3.) limit the terms of office for all its officials.
Nineteen states have passed the resolution , we need 34 to call the convention . We have organizations in every state of the union. As Sundance points out, we have a structural problem with our federal goverment and we must return power to the states – federalism.
I’m not convinced that a Convention of States is the way to go? After seeing how States run their elections I’m concerned that like everything else weak-kneed State Republicans will stand aside and let leftists take over the Convention and We The People will end up with fewer rights in particular the 2nd Amendment! My guess is if there is a runaway Convention it won’t be with MAGA supporters in charge! There just aren’t enough of America First politicians in State government to prevent a leftist takeover! JMO
It might be one of the last options, but I also feel it wouldn’t turn out well. Too easy to muck up and influence people.
The convention can only propose amendments and those amendments have to fall into one of the 3 subjects in the resolutions which must the same. They will still have to ratified by 3/4 of the states. Name 3/4 of the states that would repeal the 2nd amendment. Ain’t gonna happen and niether is a ” run away convention”.
This thread is why IMO Sundance should be a major advisor to President Trump.
Then I would like to see Sundance have a 1 hour sit down with Musk to have a discussion about Twitters “back end” and when Elon might share that with the American people.
It reminds me of the meme –that I feel like shouting to Elon Musk and the others….
Ask the right f@%%ing questions!
I’m afraid to say that based on his article above, the minute he had direct contact with President Trump, he’d become a sanctioned target. I can’t believe I’m saying this!
His supporters outvoted the settings on the machines in 2016. He did it again in 2020, but they had the paper back up prepared. DeSantis probably won in 2018 the same way
I agree! The fix was in in 2016, but they miscalculated in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. That’s why Hillary had a conniption fit on election night.
He actually won by such a large margin that they weren’t prepared. It was the panic that resulted, and the efforts to correct that mistake that we all saw when the voting stopped, and extra ballots had to be brought in. At least they had enough extra ballots available to get the job done. That was the last time we will likely see them unprepared. The system will have to be fixed, but it will not be easy or quick. Just like what Sundance is speaking of here, many people, for whatever reason, refuse to see.
Yes, I well remember that PAUSE in the election – they were trying to fix the fix. I knew the minute it happened what it was.
There were quite a few people who got into politics for the first time and voted. In 2020, the machine was ready and just did what they needed to do. STOP the counting dead.
They knew that once done, you can’t undo it. And if it is undone the entire game is over anyway. So the 2020 election was an extinction level event for the state.
Me too. Bari Weiss is a liberal democrat who isn’t even certain about her own gender identity. She is definitely not a good pick for the twitter files. Elon needs someone much , much better – namely Sundance.
“who isn’t even certain about her own sexual identity” — gender is for foreign languages. Don’t buy into the “woke” manipulation of language, please.
I was a law enforcement professional for over 30 years and defended the Patriot Act when it was enacted because there’s nothing in it per se which violates any honest American citizen’s constitutional rights – noting that only a dishonest government could make it so. . . . . and so it has.
I too was a law enforcement professional ( Police Officer)for over 30 years here in a large Canadian city.
The abuses of our respective governments truly disgusts me.
Our participants in our Truckers Convoy were treated horrendously by our government.
Most Canadian Cops were with the truckers, but the “political cops” used the peaceful protest to validate their egos.
Your Jan 6 crowd are martyrs, and hopefully your new Congress can reverse the evil.
I was horrified at the D.C. cop that assassinated the lady protester.
Then the cover up.
Cheers!

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People.
It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
—John Adams
nimrodman: The Adams quote, oft repeated in the CTH comments, explains everything.
Then, your transition to being a Freedom Fighter will be acceptable.
To all who’ve sworn to defend the Constitution, need I say anymore to instill duty ?
I respect your service. Most law enforcement are good, but it only takes a minority of bad apples in the right places to corrupt the system. I was always opposed to the The Patriot Act because I firmly believed it would lead to what has happened. Something of that scale was NEVER necessary to combat Middle East terrorism, and would inevitably be turned on the American people. Our intelligence services and military were perfectly capable of solving the foreign terrorism problem the old fashioned way.
“perfectly capable of solving the foreign terrorism problem the old fashioned way”
What’s the “old fashioned way”?
Allowing mid-Easterners to enroll in flight schools to train in how to fly but having no interest in learning how to land?
declaration of anyone as a terrorist allows suspension of their individual civil rights…..I would say that is a BIGGIE right there……being held in cumunicado sans Habeas Corpus at the government’s discretion…..that is ANOTHER
Well, we’re screwed then. I cannot fathom a way to undo what they’ve done. I guess we’ll see.
You miss the unspoken point.
All is fluid and in flux. Words on paper are what people decide, and if others design to alter them, then others will change them again. Dependence on freedom depends on the people holding others to respect the protections by the means created to insure the freedom. When evil gains, it must be fought back and returned below.
Maybe there is credence in “MILITARY IS THE ONLY WAY”
That’s why obama fired all the fighting generals and what was left was a bunch of progressive generals who bought into “wokeness”!! A “woke” military more concerned about CRT, pronouns and tranny surgeries isn’t going to come to our rescue like in Brazil! General Milley has the military “woke” and could more easily be used against us than for us!! So that’s not an option unfortunately! JMO
Have to agree with you on those points, Bubby. Yikes, it’s back to Uncle Max… “we are screwed then.”
May God help us if our very last option requiring citizenry is needed .
But then again, I do believe God’s hand has/is/will carry us in an unknown way toward a known outcome.
The Elon Musk video on Youtube linked in the opening paragraph has been removed. Did the govmnt make a call?
It said “removed by the uploader”. Now it shows the full version.
Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump
Does anybody notice that the LameStream Media is REFUSING to report about, even a simple mention, the biggest Election Integrity and Interference Scandal in our Country’s History. Watch closely, you will see barely a mention. We have a CORRUPT MEDIA the likes of which has never been seen before, but fear not, we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
WTH… or should I say Par for the Course….. YouTube already took the video down that Elon joined.. If any one has another link, please post as would like to listen/watch

Sundance, I think you’re missing the mark here. This goes back to at least 1993, when Louis Freeh gave 1500 FBI files of prominent Republicans to Bernie Nussbaum and the Clinton administration and got away with it. This is about the same time as Ruby Ridge and Waco as well.
Ruby Ridge was during GHW Bush. Barr was AG.
Exactly, but remember this was the same DOJ that kept indicting Caspar Weinberger to help Bill Clinton in the 1992 election.
The video is now unavailable on YouTube – “This video has been removed by the uploader”
I put up a new link. This one. Elon at 01:03:00. And don’t listen to the Elon fan panel beforehand or you will jump off a cliff.
Just trust me. Skip to 01:03:00
Sundance,,, you are a National Treasure. May God bless you and your family, always. Thank you for all you do.
Your expertise, sprinkled with your witty humor is. the. best!
Listened for 2 or 3 minutes. Elon sounds like a high school boy, with just a little bit of an extended vocabulary. Is Iran still on TwitFace, espousing death to America still?
Sundance always keeping us from jumping off a cliff!! Thank you! Godspeed Sundance!
Eisenhower too.
Doesn’t it seem interesting that Intel is allowing Musk to do this in an obvious controlled manner? There is something going on we aren’t getting. They would not allow this if it didn’t have a purpose
An honest man now controls the apparatus. Let’s see if he can keep it.
Hopeful, he will have better fortune than the honest man who became President January, 2017.
“They would not allow this if it didn’t have a purpose”
One could say the same thing about Trump winning in 2016.
Fortunately, sometimes the CIA underestimates an opponent and just screws up.
I could be mistaken but so far nothing has been released by Musk that was not already in whole or in part known or taken for granted by people (“conspiracy theorists”) who did not drink the Government coolaid and the effort to do critical thinking.
With this I mean there were no “Oh cr*p” pieces in there (that I can recall) that were in say Julian Assange’s releases or Edward Snowden’s releases. Should make you think.
The direction Musk is taking is definitely “better” than it was before and we live in a time all apparent improvements are welcome, but have to be aware it can also be a trust building operation. Heck, maybe Musk wants to run for president and this helps nicely to build his reputation of champion for the peeps. And reputation building on throwing out semi-nothing-burgers is a pretty good return. Have to have some return for those 44 billion dollars.
As a generality, Musk policing speech [speech being anything that is legal speech in the public square but deemed harmful online] is not necessarily better than unknown parties policing speech. With this I mean people calling out @Elon Musk “Please save me Elon this is unfair, wield your almighty Tesla wand!” But Elon’s ego will get stroked in the meantime as it plays out I suppose.
Elon, the African American was born in South Africa.
There is something going on we aren’t getting. They would not allow this if it didn’t have a purpose
Limited hangout
Wheens: Mr. Musk is immunizing the populace to the government’s crimes. He’s helping the government, not hurting it. Everything Mr. Musk does is in “partnership” with the government.
I’ve been all over Twitter since the Friday night file drop, pointing out the timing – Balenciaga gained traction, everyone was talking about it – and politely reminded everyone that they censored “Pizza” too – in the file drop it said celebrities had direct access to Twitter – Chrissy Teigen and all the cheese pizza stuff removed – at any rate, I think Balenciaga = Pizzagate and I said as much and the Elon drop is a distraction. Well, woke up this morning to my account suspended.
Wow. That was a heavy read. CTH is truly unique in providing this level of information.
Sundance. I’m certainly adding your name to the names that I whisper prayers for during the day. Men who fearlessly expose this level of evil are treading in dangerous waters.
It is indeed telling that we are not hearing a peep about this from anyone else. Nobody!!!
DD
Cheers D.D.
I hear True Dope, or Turdeau was here in British Columbia this week.
He tried to hide, but was located and jeered.
His ego is getting a real bruising.
He deserves all the boos for what he did to me and others like me. He is a monster who revealed his true face during the freedom convoy, letting his mask slip when he granted himself the power to arbitrarily freeze bank accounts. Guess he was jealous we managed to raise more in a few weeks than in his whole term… @$$hat
Yep, as I have mentioned before. The R.C.M.P. threatened me with arrest at the Peace Arch Border in South Surrey at the Blaine Washington State border.
I was walking our Bichon to the border to meet with Americans, Americans that the day before had brought us coffee and cake.
Cheers! and Fluck them all!
To “steal a march” on your enemy means you position your forces at a tactical advantage while your enemy slumbers.
The leftists are “stealing a march” on America by fighting a fight while Americans largely don’t even know there is a conflict. We seem to be at peace, there are no battles and bullets, yet America as we’ve always known her is like shifting sand under our feet and the enemy is occupying high ground behind granite walls. What is happening?
Fifth Generation warfare, they call it – “non-kinetic military action, such as social engineering, misinformation, cyberattacks, along with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and fully autonomous systems”.
They are stealing our American soul through these “5th Generational” means while we stand around scratching our heads wondering what the heck is happening to us?
This is why Trump, and only Trump, will do in ’24. Republicans don’t get the existential threat to our existence as a Republic. They are talking policy while leftists are dismantling the entire edifice. Only Trump gets it.
I would argue that just as PDJT is the ONLY choice for 2024, there is only one possible choice as his running mate, and it sure as h*ll ISN’T RDS.
Trump/Lake 2024!
“Tech” has been hyped, right from the start, and they think “high-tech” will enable them to ignore the immutable realities that inevitably bring down every tyranny; they are mistaken.
And who would that one choice be for VP, Dutch?
Ms. Lake?
Trump gets it all right and he is so furious that he’s calling to remove Biden from office and having a straight up fair and uncorrupted do over. Marc Elias is having a fit over this and calling for Trump to be arrested. The take i’m getting from some Trump supporters who have wind of this and are posting on twitter is just to let 2020 go and win in 2024 instead. It doesn’t sound like Trump is going to just let this go no matter what anyone says. After the first twitter file drop Trump went on the war path. His ‘truth’ at Truth Social spells it out. Sounds like he’s had it.
It won’t be overturned but you just can’t say – oh, we knew that already, or it’s done – let it go. If anyone ever wants answers, pounding on 2020 is the way to get.
And if anyone thinks this make Trump or a Republican less electable, you already know how the deck is stacked, rigged, whatever against the non-State actor.
He should NOT let it go. How can we as Americans tolerate an illegal election and an illegitimate regime trashing our country?
Never forget this for one minute: China is their model. Are some of the top politicians in the USA paid off by China? Read Revolver, Zero Hedge, Gateway Pundit and SD to see for yourself.
Absolutely. The first Obama/Biden administration and currently the Biden puppet/Obama administration cabal were/are Maoist.
Remember the Mao Christmas ornament on the first year Obama White House Christmas tree (or was that a “Holiday” tree 🤔 🙄 )
Another example when then and now serving Anita Dunn dry monthly announced that Mao was one of her favorite philosophers.
And let’s not forget the very recent WEF, Build Back Better, Great Reset comments from the great Nazi Klaus Schwab that the China model would be the preferable model for “many countries.
A couple of Clinton cabinet members openly praised Mao and China.
Are some of the top politicians in the USA paid off by China?
A better question is who in DC is NOT bought off by PRC?…….even those who were thought stalwart conservatives or a part of the MAGA movement have been revealed as buckling to the greed offered through the OWG and DS network
Sundance please don’t forget about Kari Lake. She was thrown under the bus. Arizona caved in and no one is standing beside her. Like you, she is MEGA and wanted the best for Arizona and she was fighting to save it. Ballots again destroyed this election. We know the Evil tht destroyed Trumps election and continue to remove him out of our sight, the same thing with Kari. She needs to be remembered and not cast aside like the rotten GOP.
Trump/Lake 2024
I can’t even seriously see anyone else on the short list.
The TRADITIONAL role of a VP, during a campaign is to be “the attack dog” while the POTUS candidate remains “above the fray”
think Agnew with his “nattering nabobs of negativity”.
In 2016, because if DJT’s having to fend off unending attacks, the script was flipped.
In 2024, lets give him one hell of an attack dog, which KL has shown herself to be.
TWO Rottweilers, tearing the pants seats off the press, the RINOS and the Dems.
Followed by Kari Lake for President in 2028. The Left would lose their sh*t if a smart, accomplished, and pretty R female became the first female president of the USA!
If that scenario came to pass, that might prove too much for Hilldawg’s entitled dream and finally do that hag in for good.
STILL PRAYING for Kari Lake and Her Group to ” OVERCOME ” in AZ –
WITHOUT Harmeet & the RNC Help !
Amen!
HillDawg could write a sequel called:
WTF Happened
“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.”
——
AKA “plausible deniability.”
Bingo!
I’ve thought about Sundance’s silos and agree they are in place but I believe the silos are just for written communications and other documents. I believe there is communication between the silos but it’s all verbal “off record” nothing that could be documented and used as future evidence. Just my speculation and because I’m so cynical/distrustful about the Fourth Branch!!! But I could be wrong!
Cause individual liberty is just too much for this government to honor.
“But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.” —Isaiah 28:13
The living Word of the LORD has always been perverted with the ultimate goal of undoing the LORD’s redemptive plan for the ages.
Likewise, the foundational logic of the “more perfect union” has been perverted, with the passage of time, “line upon line, here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken”, with the eventual endpoint of the complete nullification of the vitiating Constitutional principles underpinning our Republic, with the most dramatic steps taken in the latter days, but only because of the surfeit of smaller steps earlier taken and thus dulling humanity’s sensitivity to the demonic crimes against it. Historical desensitization enables present savagery.
Grammar-school rhetoric of “separate but equal” has been used to reassure the masses while a ≥century-old process of Progressive revolution has overtaken our Republic according to the ancient Luciferian principle: Twist the creative Word of the LORD into the incremental, toxic murder of the created in the quest for the ultimate rebellion—the turning of those redeemed into those enslaved.
And so the words of the prophet find something of a fulfillment in our day: The promised rest and refreshing have, “line upon line”, decade after decade and now year after year, been perverted by certain lawyers and journalists, and professional liars, mutated into bondage and tyranny. Moses has been overtaken by Pharaoh…by design. El-Shaddai has been (temporarily) dethroned by shaitan and the best that man can do must be redeemed by the best that Elohim has ever done, and will do.
While this may seem a defeatist perspective, I implore the reader to see it as the Divine victory for which it will, over time, set the stage. The final act is upon us…
KaweahKid,
I agree, and am joyous NOT disheartened.
“Moses has been overtaken by Pharaoh..”Not quite, Moses can and will never be “overtaken”, neither can El-Shaddai EVER be dethroned. However we can look upon the wisdom of the word to understand that these events and characters are NOT just some history lesson, but within them contain the secrets and “way” by which “Israel” is redeemed and delivered from Egypt. All one needs to do is replace “Egypt” with what IS all around us at present – we ARE in Egypt – facing the same evil decrees, with the same evil design. Moses was the “Messiah” of his generation – great and difficult (impossible) was his task, and only around 20% of the people “got it” and were delivered. In every “story”, in every event, in every character of scripture there is a lesson, sometimes a personal “connection” and likeness to that character, event or emotion. In short we’ve been here before – the lesson on how (and why) is available for all of us to understand and make that decision. 80% will not. Wheat and chaff.
This is for Kaweshkid/Dutchman/Oldspeak/Sundance and anyone else who has “ears to hear”.
To understand what is happening in these days-read the
two testimonys from God to His two servants -Daniel (12:9-10) & John (Rev 22:11).
(9-10) “….for these words are CONCEALED and SEALED
up UNTIL the end time. many will be purged, purified (made white) and refined BUT the wicked WILL act wickedly; none of the wicked will understand – BUT those who have insight (instructors) WILL understand.
(11) “Let the one who does wrong, STILL do wrong and the one who is FILTHY, STILL be filthy; and let the one who is righteous, still PRACTICE righteousness; and the one who is holy, still KEEP himself holy”.
God establishes something with 2 or more witness.
A comprehensive overview. Clear and concise.
I will add a few points for consideration.
The information silos have been around a long time. They used to be called “stovepipes” in various Federal meetings and studies, and the idea was always that if you could get rid of stovepipes in government, particularly in law enforcement and intel, government would be more efficient.
But agencies liked stovepipes. Information was jealously guarded because it could be turned into arrests and major cases. These statistics were like treasure that could be presented to Congress to get more agency funding, which in turn meant more positions (power), promotions of favored employees, etc. This was the reason, by the way, for the attempt at mass arrests at Waco. The victims there died for stats. The agents too died for stats.
Later the stovepipes (silos) were used not only to protect information, but to protect sketchy and often criminal activities from discovery. They still fulfill this function.
As for the creation of DHS, the idea was put forth (and it is reasonable) that if the 22 agencies were under the control of one single entity and worked together, there would be both a savings of resources and increased efficiency. Of course that’s not what happened.
The greater appeal of DHS was that it would be a place of employment for friends of the administration, and serve as their feeding trough. But it also solved the problem of enforcement agencies colliding with and exposing Deep State projects and enterprises.
For one example (in brief) the White House (and CIA) wanted to sell cluster bombs to Saddam, but it was not legal to do so. So they shipped two cluster bomb factories declared as scrap metal to Cardoen Industries in Chile. Cardoen would make and ship the bombs.
But US Customs inspectors examined the exports and detained them, since they comprised precision machinery, Commerce Dept and possibly State Dept. licensable. The “scrap” sat for a year or more while Customs and Commerce Dept (directed by CIA) tussled , but in the end the factories were released. Therefore, the creation of DHS eliminated such messes.
Finally, I’ll close with just a note on the FBI, which has become not only a huge disappointment to many, but a dangerous threat to the survival of our Nation.
It has always been rotten.
Hoover was brought in to FBI to clean up the corruption, but he instead perfected it.
The Bureau employs 100-150 PR staff whose job is to make the FBI look much better than it is.
There have been 40 TV shows featuring FBI, and movies too. The media at one time could be critical of the Bureau, for an example see the FBI disaster at Little Bohemia, but those days are long gone. Plus they have over the decades perfected the art of claiming the successes of other Federal agencies as their own, as well as the work of state and local law enforcement.
CAN GET – nasty – when You HAVE ” overlapping ” Jurisdictions and Questions Arise over Budgetary Requests and WHO’s The LEADING AGENCY on the Cluster @**k
As a ” GOOD GUY “, you just DON’T KNOW WHO to TALK TO and WHO to BE QUITE around.
( especially in the BORDER ISSUES like Human Trafficking, Drugs, Weapons, Industrial Goods )
BIG MONEY for Those ” STARS and BARS ” and SO MANY -> OVERSIGHT COMMITTEES <-
Slowly I think Sundance is getting here I was 15 years ago…
Unfortunately I don’t think the audience is nearly ready to hear the full truth…
You can’t change this through elections.
Until we can openly start having that very real conversation we’re shackled to the idea of rinse, wash, repeat.
“You can’t change this through elections.” Trump sounds like he’s reached that same conclusion and his focus is on one election right now-the 2020 election. His latest truth from Truth Social has Marc Elias ready to raise hell and attempt to get Trump arrested. This is not the first time they’ve brought it up. They are really determined to find a reason to lock him up and this may be it-or at least they think so. Once sundance gets a chance to read Trump’s latest truth need to hear his take on where this goes. that’s why i’m here. Want the whole truth-here’s where you come. i can’t even begin to imagine where all this goes. Sundance has to know.
I would be more apt to side with Trump and the DOJ currently being engaged in mutual political theater together than I would take the majority of that stuff seriously.
Impressive…You are adept…you have long memory…like a vault filled meticlously with brick by brick…I have followed your posts…as a lawyer, you have pursuaded the jury, GUILTY Well done counselor…!
Sundance never makes assertions, without providing the reciepts, as is fully appropriate for having a blog.
As a commenter, I am not under the same obligation.
As Sundance presents it, Bush created the situation, and the Obama capitilised on it, implying no coordination.
I think Bush was installed, selected as a figurehead, packaged and marketed.
It was the Bush admin, that brought Mueller in as director, and he brought Comey and yes THAT one Weismann into the 7th floor, to rework/remake the FBI, into the weoponised ideologically leftist organisation it is today.
Mueller signed the MOU, during Bush admin.
Bush v Gore was a set up, to create or manufacture a crises, in order to inject Dominion into elections.
IMHO, the Uniparty has been operating longer than most realise, its actually a small cabal that wield enormous political power, and McConnell sits at the head of the table.
4 people control Congress; The Majority and Minority leaders of both parties.
The other 531 votes are all proxies; Manchin and Synema were following orders, just like Collins and Murkowski do.
Congress created the Patriot act, Congress dictates who the WH appoints, and this cabal created the “4th branch of Government” and I believe it is STILL following orders from them.
The kind of people we are talking about (McConnell) do NOT relinquish power.
WHO told Comey, Mueller to institute “the Insurance policy” in order to hamstring and (they hoped) force PDJT to resign?
They didn’t come up with it themselves and would not have considered it, unless they knew they had cover.
The plan came from McConnell and Ryan, its the only logical answer.
When the Tea Party rose up from nowhere, Obama broke the law (admittedly for him “no biggie”) by having the IRS slow down the growth, long enough for McConnell to send in his agents to destroy it.
Because McConnell told him to.
And, after a disasterous midterm, McCarthy and McDaniels are being challenged, and yet McConnell has already secured his position as minority leader, with no whisper of a challenge.
Because in Chess, you ALWAYS protect your king, even if you have to sacrifice a queen or bishop.
I think the corrupted FBI and DOJ take their orders from McConnell, the “4th branch” is just a further extension of his power.
IMHO,..
“All the world’s a stage…”. We’ve been watching this play with lead characters McConnell, Bush, Clinton, Obama and many others for more years than we realize. And we dutifully played our minor roles, voting for the lesser of two evils. When President Trump arrived, the curtains that hid backstage began to shred. Some of us can now see. It cannot be unseen.
Please, God, open eyes and hearts and minds. Give us the courage to stand.
Thank you, Dutchman, for taking time to help us see clearly the ugly backstage.
LOL Congress did NOT create the PATRIOTs Act….it was written waiting for the event to introduce it……you must have missed the multi-installment pieces by SD about legislation in DC…..not only do they no longer read it, but rarely do they even contribute ANYTHING to its authorship
Yesterday’s “rightwing” conspiracies are today’s facts/news! This seems to be a recurring pattern! Dutchman peels the DC corruption onion even further!! Thank you!!
I think you are very close to correct but maybe missing something higher…
If you remove any and all *names* from your post and simply insert the word *government* it would be better a representation of the situation.
These people, the individuals are largely just strawman. It’s a mistake to focus on them so narrowly because it highly limits the size and scope of the real problem.
I think these names are frequently injected into reporting to distract the masses intentionally. To both diminish the scale and more importantly, prop up a non solution.
You can certainly “fire” McConnell and McCarthy… But what can’t do is make the GOP and RNC change their minds or direction. Those strawmen will just be replaced. The parties are private corporations, NGOs that operate in the business of politics. They have a board, and YOU can’t elect or unelect them. You have no means or ability to influence anything about them.
That’s something people need to get through their thick heads… It’s as naive as the global warming clan trying to stop mommy nature.
Additionally, search the history of FBI directors, find me one that’s not be blamed for and called for being fired “to change the agency”… These people are just a face to blame, they get paid for it.
At that 10,000 foot view we quit being distressed and and distracted by the non answers and BS where we can stay focused real issues that need real solutions.
I often think that GW Bush was installed in order to become GHW Bush’s second term, much like FJB was installed to be Obama’s 3rd term – to complete the overthrow of our nation via its intelligence apparatus that VP Cheney oversaw the installation of, and why his daughter is so rabid about finding the means to stop PDJT from returning, their job of one-world government has not yet been completed and PDJT represents the one contingency the overthrower’s never thought of – the people, the real power center of this nation. And is why through emotions the overthrowers need to keep the people divided.
In medicine, necrotic tissue is removed.
The same must be done in government.
After reading one of the most if not the number one comprehensive overview/analysis of our so-called government et al a line from Al Pacino in the movie Scent of a Woman comes to mind…”.Everyone who has ever had to deal with an academic bureaucracy has wanted at one point in time to put a flamethrower to it” .Only when the evil is TOTALLY exposed will this country right its course Sadly, We the People are now the prey!
They should all repent and stop hating and attacking fellow Americans.
Stop lying, close the border, stop pushing medical cyborgs, stop pushing the GAE, stop rigging elections, stop worshipping the false god of GDP, stop spying on Americans.
Just stop and repent.
Thank you, Sundance.
A good friend just coined this acronym: The GAC.
The “Governmental Administrative Cartel” that spans boundaries across cities, county, parish, province, state and nations, with interlocking relationships with other individuals across the many sectors of corporate governance, whether for profit or non-profit, philanthropy, endowment or foundation, military or civilian.
His theory resonates with this synthesis set forth by Sundance.
Both suggest The GAC has indeed become the dominate superior culture in modern government around the world.
We seem to be living in a world where they are separating from the rest of us with the apparent intent of creating a competing civilization to replace the one we have had from the beginning of our nation’s founding.
Among other permanent civilization changes they seek, it’s most apparent that a restoration of taxation without representation is the order of the day.
They are GAC.
The Doofus reminder video is gone?
I recently became convinced that 9/11 was controlled demolition. What do you think here? It seems to me a fundamental starting point for understanding what is happening today.
It was some sort of controlled demo.
Jet fuel and office furniture only burn at ~1700-1900 deg F. Steel melting point is ~2900 deg F.
Numbers may be slightly off, but you get the gist.
Project for New American Century (PNAC) document was written before 9/11. It called for a New World Order but needed some sort of catalyzing event like a “Pearl Harbor” to get everyone united behind the change.
The Patriot Act was probably already written when the PNAC document was presented. I believe it was presented by Jeb Bush.
if you had had any sort of chemistry, engineering, or REAL world experience you would see the folly of your statement….since when do you need to “melt” steel or other structural elements to see failure……it is kind of like your statement…it is only a little false but that makes it false in its entirety
I am a licensed professional engineer. I have been practicing engineering for thirty plus years. You?
CompEng and as a licensed “Professional Engineer” you would KNOW it does not take melting of the structural elements to failure…..FAR FAR FAR lower or you are not even a “novice” professional engineer……so your quoting of flame points and melting points AS a “professional engineer” is either intentionally misleading or EXTREMELY ignorant…..that you would even move to those as primary in any sort of analysis from the beginning could be looked at as PROFESSIONAL malpractice in fact since you have stated the facts in such a manner as to bias your analysis
I am wondering did you do any of the pre-collapse analysis of the Surfside Condos?……the accuracy and depth of your “professional judgment” seems to have achieved about the same level as that did with your 911 conclusions based upon faulty starting points
Also, Building 7 collapsed at 5pm that evening due to a paper fire in one small section of building. It was a ~47 story building and collapsed at free fall speed. Looked very similar to controlled demos of buildings of similar size.
So why is nobody talking about it? Not even among the most trusted conservative or MAGA pundit/commentators? Not even here on CTH?
There are groups such as scientist and architects for 9/11 truth and pilots for 9/11 truth. They laid out much of the story.
The pilots said the super spiral dive the “plane” did heading into the pentagon was impossible. Not even a pilot who flew that same model plane for years could do it. It certainly couldn’t be done by a beginner pilot who couldn’t even back a Cesna out of the gate.
I understand that and you don’t have to convince me. What doesn’t add up is why no famous commentator and not even CTH talks about it. The only ones that come to mind are Elijah Schaffer and Alex Stein. A little bit. Is it possible that Matt Walsh or Mollie Hamingwey or Posobiec…. or PDJT say nothing?
deleted.
Rose O’Donnel talks about it…
“History shows that epidemics have been the great resetter of countries’ economy and social fabric.”
I assume this quote, listed in the Amazon add, comes from within the book.
Why does this vile enemy of mankind still exist?
He is the “World’s # 1 Useless Eater.” 👿
At least the Best are EXPOSING THEMSELVES FOR THE POS THEY ARE! Great work SD!
And, to change this situation in our federal government is to knock out their pillars of support. Either by non-violent action or by other means, action by people must take place. Elections are removed from reality, which has been known for decades, but now there’s proof of the corruption inherent in them. Elections are moot and to be discarded until such time people consent to them.
This Leviathan you write about is not indestructible and contains many flaws precisely because its working mechanism is people and only from people. We’re not discussing a mechanical device, electronic device, or other non-living thing. The Leviathan is a purely organic construct of people dependent on many other people to have it work. The Beast is human and it can die. Law is immaterial now to shield those actors composing the Leviathan and those protecting it too.
CIA Briefer: We’ll… interface with the FBI on this dead body.
CIA Superior: No, no. God no. We don’t need those idiots f#cking everything up. Burn the body. Get rid of it.

“You don’t have to get a FISA court order?”
“No, not here, XKEYSCORE’s under 702 authority, which means no warrants”
“Ok, but – US targets – then you’d have to … get … the court order”
“You mean FISA? Yeah … they’re just a big-ass rubber stamp, dude”
After reading more, I stand with it’s a system of people in a system created by the People and dependent on the People for its existence. Our cooperation is what makes all of our systems operate.
Rot and decay brings down every empire, country, or otherwise political entity. Life and Death. No escape from the inevitable.
I think Sundance is wrong here. I take this back to at least 1993, when the FBI handed over 1500 confidential files to Bernie Nussbaum and the Clinton administration of prominent Republicans. When Louis Freeh got away with it, I knew the fix was in.
Eisenhower was probably the last duly elected (and of course President Trump) that didn’t have the Deep State controlling things. If you remember the huge smile on Nixon’s face as he was boarding the helicopter, he was out from underneath the DS’s thumb. He took a character hit, but not a bullet like JFK. The DS needs to be taken down. As others have opined, and I agree, we have passed over the Rubicon, there is no path forward with the go-along-to-get-along Cabal. If we cede an inch, they will win.
Spot on analysis of the power of the forth branch of government; The unelected comrade commissars of the four pillars of the “intelligence agencies” who by hook or crook took control and presently run the country with the help of the lap dog propaganda media that millions of uninformed voters still listen to and are influenced by.
Also these so called “public/private partnerships (global corporations) taking action doing the proxy bidding of “the government looters” to get around legality and guaranteed “Constitutional Rights” of the people.
Never forget “Senator” Scummer’s remark “Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,”
As Sundance put it in his analysis, “that’s where we are” “Right now” “that’s where we are”.
Here are the big questions of these cabal members nested within the 4th branch:
What oath did they take? Who do they serve? Who’s orders do they follow?
“Against all enemies foreign and domestic.”
Maybe they are of the domestic type but serve another master. An un-American master.
“There are people making decisions inside this little known, unregulated and out-of-control branch of government that impact every facet of our lives.”
And, those decisions are moot UNLESS others follow through and carry out those decisions.
And, if in fact, as you state, they are out-of-control, then, well, solutions are many.
The first act of the new congress is to reverse the first impeachment of President Trump and stike it from the congressional records. The FBI, DOJ, Barr sat on evidence within the laptop that would have exonerated the President during that time.
The country should be placed under Martial Law and the complete revote of the Presidency, every seat in Congress, Govenorship, State and local office. Contucted by the millitary on paper ballot.
On my knees praying a space rock hits d.c.
“We cannot fight our way through the issues until we first realize what lies at the root of the problem.”
Yes.
“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.”
I would go further. As any statistician will tell you, the independent variable must be differentiated from the dependent variable. Otherwise, the ensuing analysis becomes fatally flawed.
The post-Patriotic Act retooling was entirely a Deep State initiative whose time happened to arrive under the titular stewardship of Obama-Holder. After all, it could only arrive after Pat I and II and the Bush tenure could only carry so much water. The liberty vise is, of necessity, slow and incremental. Boiling a kettle of frogs requires a modicum of patience.
I belabor this point not as an Obama apologist, Gd forbid. But to caution against fixating on any one shell and mistaking it for the pea or even the entity operating the game.
UniParty POTUSes, of which we like to believe Trump was NOT one (as surely as DeSantis would be one), initiate nothing. Come on, Obama morphed into a Master of the Universe and key global strategist from his humble beginnings as community organizer? Comedic cross-dresser Zelensky is a hand-picked thespian too. These frontline personalities architect nothing.
Everything that happened under Obama’s tenure was slated to happen, hell or high water, with or without him, and so would have reached fruition just as surely in the absence of an Obama administration.
The Law of OppositionBy Oswald Chambers
To him who overcomes… —Revelation 2:7
Life without war is impossible in the natural or the supernatural realm. It is a fact that there is a continuing struggle in the physical, mental, moral, and spiritual areas of life.
Health is the balance between the physical parts of my body and all the things and forces surrounding me. To maintain good health I must have sufficient internal strength to fight off the things that are external. Everything outside my physical life is designed to cause my death. The very elements that sustain me while I am alive work to decay and disintegrate my body once it is dead. If I have enough inner strength to fight, I help to produce the balance needed for health. The same is true of the mental life. If I want to maintain a strong and active mental life, I have to fight. This struggle produces the mental balance called thought.
Morally it is the same. Anything that does not strengthen me morally is the enemy of virtue within me. Whether I overcome, thereby producing virtue, depends on the level of moral excellence in my life. But we must fight to be moral. Morality does not happen by accident; moral virtue is acquired.
And spiritually it is also the same. Jesus said, “In the world you will have tribulation…” (John 16:33). This means that anything which is not spiritual leads to my downfall. Jesus went on to say, “…but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” I must learn to fight against and overcome the things that come against me, and in that way produce the balance of holiness. Then it becomes a delight to meet opposition.
Holiness is the balance between my nature and the law of God as expressed in Jesus Christ.
Today’s reading from My Utmost For His Highest – Very Insightful and applicable…
Again, I go back to an article Sundance wrote some time ago, about how, due to Twitter’s instant messaging system, it had to use very large servers. And the supposition was that it would only be the US government that could provide those servers. One would assume Musk now knows this. It is also understood that all of Musk’s other business ventures are connected with the US government in some way. And this leads me to my question: Just what is the purpose of what Musk is doing now?
My answer (to myself) to that question has been that the “powers that be” are cogently aware that the issue of how “Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop” manages to “stay afloat” brings undesired scrutiny to both them and Twitter.
Musk’s role is to “clean up the place” and make it “profitable” so that “conspiracy theorists” can’t point out the “obvious” hand of Government on their scales.
Musk has “his way” of getting from “Magic Coffee Shop” to “profitable” – which may not be exactly how Government would want him to do it (or… maybe it is).
In the end, “Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop” will end up a forgotten concept (thus removing the “obviousness” of Governments hand)
That’s the purpose…
“clean up the place…..” Same as Bill Bondo Barr’s role as AG.
Dixie: That’s exactly what’s going on. Mr. Musk is cleaning up the operation and immunizing the populace against the government’s crimes. This whole story will be wrapped up and forgotten. Mission accomplished.
I thought about this as Tucker was reporting it on Friday. Of course Tucker is still controlled opposition. The only link to the deep state was the mention of James Baker as chief twit counsel. I’m sure musk was convinced that, for national security reasons, he had to withhold some of his findings. It was probably a fair trade to him to get the state to back off on investigations.
Tucker is a television personality, nothing more and nothing less (well, hopefully nothing less)
Amjean: I’m with you.
Just putting it out there, just a little jigsaw puzzle piece.
How even disparate Intelligence work in & connect in various ways.
As many of you know the Prime Minister of New Zealand maintains strong WEF + UN connections and with Klaus Schwab

Many Thanks to Sundance for the great work, and the comments from members of Conservative Treehouse.
Please pardon my final incursion on this thread. Thank you for indulging my nit, though I believe it’s not a small one.
“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.”
My caps above…
So O and Holder were opportunistic interlocutors to a degree exceeding the marching orders of the UniParty?? Opportunism smacks of off-plan or reckless spontaneity.
Are you aware SD of how this overblown Obama characterization sort of dings your Uniparty thesis?
The Fourth Branch of Government’s dystopian aspiration is a longstanding eschatology, timed to happen in bits, and in large measure impervious to the blur of seat-warmers who can appear at times to possess authorial discretion, but never do.
By constructing an O-Holder cult of personality, albeit of negative effect, you undermine the explanatory power of the UniParty thesis you’ve done such a brilliant job forwarding over these many years.
I mean, clearly we should have voted for McCain in order to avert Eric Holder’s subversion of the Deep State’s endgame. Is that what you’re implying?
The question is not whether Bush was more evil than O or vice-versa. The overriding point is that both comparted their segment of the dystopian process effectively. Obama’s bit NEEDED Bush’s bit just as Bush’s bit NEEDED Truman’s bit. I’ll leave it to Gd to sift the relative darkness of their hearts.
The seeds of our plight could have be gleaned in 1913 or 1947 or 2001. Eric Holder is a gnat on the ass of this plan. He’s too pedestrian within the eschatology (traceable arguably to Babel) to ever have risen even to opportunistic free-form artist.
The implications of the Existentially Evil Mastermind Obama is that the other guy would have been better. Except that’s not the UniParty.
I submit that, though the path may have varied in its details, 8 years of McCain would have put us in essentially the same predicament, perhaps a tad better, perhaps a tad worse. But then, I’m all-in on the Uniparty construct. Whereas you seems at times to be a bit in and out.

Must read content here. Please publish a book! Incoming legislators should be ordered to read this before taking their oath of office.
Might I address another elephant in the same room? Did these evil people invoke the Patriot Act quickly in response to 911? OR, were they so evil that they engineered 911 so that they could invoke the Patriot Act?
The mechanization of the corrupt IC will implode upon itself in a most apt manner, as it is designed by humans, maintained by humans, and thus will be usurped by the same. It is only a matter of time.
