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

No offense Mike Robinson but, from my no-tech perspective there is nothing at all simple about digital technology or how the different platforms handle the constant flood of information. My most-used apps are word-processing applications–and even with those, the designers program a lot of different ways to accomplish the same task–idiot redundancy–and then, every few months they’ll change the overall look and layout of what was acceptable and useful. I despise having to learn “the latest edition” of a program that worked just fine in its earlier iterations. Software designers should keep customers like me in mind instead of forcing everyone of their customers into the newest OS or update or upgrade. A great lot of the time I’ve saved working with digital word-processing (instead of a typewriter or longhand) gets wasted learning how to use the latest edition of a once-familiar but now obsolete program.
Agree 100% – one of the reasons I DETEST all things tech. It seems they go out of their way to make things as difficult as possible. It’s one of the reasons why I do not have a smart phone or smart TV – the other reason is to make it more difficult for them to track me.
Thanks.
Thanks for this. I was in favour of impeaching Nixon. Years later, it dawned on me that he was impeached ONLY because he was a Republican… and as with Trump, a very popular one… he had to be taken out!
… forgot to mention:. a keeper!
Only Nixon could’ve opened China. Specifically, his anti-Communist warhawk credibility. Kissinger, CFR, the whole Deep State machine wanted that opening. It’s not a coincidence of history that Nixon’s UN Ambassador was George HW Bush when the PRC (CCP-led) Chinese were officially recognized as the legitimate world voice for China over the nationalists who had sought refuge in Taiwan. GHWB then named the first US Ambassador to Communist China…then Director of the CIA under Gerald Ford, the only unelected president in US history, and the chief investigator of the Warren Commission inquiry into the assassination of JFK. Under Nixon the US Department of Indoctrination, aka Education, was created. And the Gold Standard for US currency was eliminated. In other words, it was under Nixon when a whole lot of the uglies we’re just now beginning to recognize for the subversive malign to our constitutional republic was put into place.
This isn’t to say these were things that Nixon supported or wanted his legacy to be known for. Rather, these were things that his presidency was used for. And after they were accomplished, legitimized by his conservative appeal, his usefulness to the Deep State machine was over. Impeached.
The Deep State, the intelligence community is very skilled at manipulating the psychological profiles of the people they seek to control for their own purposes. To wit, they knew what made Nixon tick, what his ambitions were, how to appeal to his personality type. Nixon had a big ego. And had a presidential election stolen from him. He knew it, all in DC knew it. Nixon stood down in 1960, “for the good of the nation” facing an existential threat from the USSR.
What happened during initial days following the November, 1960 election, “Chicago Way “theft of a presidency swinging Illinois to JFK? Was Nixon promised another chance at the presidency in 1968? Was Nixon so eager, so ambitious that he “played ball” to get the office he thought was owed to him? Did Nixon agree to take on the personnel he was told he would need to staff his administration, from the same Deep State that bet on the bootlegger’s son in 1960 to do its bidding? Because they catered to his ego? Promised him his life’s dream? If he only, “played ball?”
As much as I support Trump and believe he is the nation’s best chance for a peaceful restoration of our republic and constitutional governance, my gravest fear of a Trump II administration is that his personality ambitions and psychological drivers are also known the the Deep State expert manipulators. They got him to lockdown the nation over the flu, push a dangerous experimental jab on the people, agree to his own administrative impotency by allowing a baseless special counsel investigation to cripple most of his term. What indicators do we have that he learned his lesson about them? Oz for Senate? Get your fourth booster, his wonder drug saving billions?
Trump’s ego. The source of his greatest strength to fight the Deep State machine. And the source of his greatest weakness, used by devious Trump whisperers to do things to the nation that only someone with MAGA Patriot credibility could do. What will his ambition cloud his judgement on that allows the clever and crafty Deep State machine to do if they get Trump to play ball in order to right what he knows to be a wrong, a presidency denied to him? The national intelligence unelected Fourth Estate Sundance describes proved capable of exploiting Trump’s psychological weaknesses in his first term. How do We, The People who are supportive of Trump work to ensure that he doesn’t fall into the same traps that Nixon fell into? Because we’d never be in this state of the nation without the system that was put into place under Nixon. The system that another Bush, GWB, built on with 9-11 and that followed, including the Patriot Act.
The Military Industrial Complex, rears its ugly shadow government again pitching dead American often mutilated citizen bodies sothey can have the best officer clubs, Board Room powers, and endless pensions. No wonder we have scum Pentagon leaders like Austin and Miley poisoning any remaining American virtue left, after they destroy it.
Ever spend time at an O club? They haven’t existed for over a decade. Try earning a military pension sometime.
As I’ve mentioned here many times before, Stefan Halper (of Russia Spygate fame) was employed in the Nixon admin in the same department as the Plumbers Unit—- and Halpers father in law, Ray Cline, was a long time top CIA man who, along with the rest of the Taiwan Lobby (including Goldwater), was surprised and dismayed by Nixon’s opening to China. There is a plausible chance Cline was ‘behind’ Watergate—-to sabotage Nixon.
A famous Ben Franklin quote: “Well done is better than well said”.
You’re a good guy, Sundance, but no one, including you, has caused anyone to take any action at all.
Not one of the enormous number of obvious criminals has been arrested.
All of us are weak and broken and have done this to ourselves!
in the same way people who suffer under an invading army are not to blame for their circumstances , no American has “done this to ourselves.”
Additionally, you have no idea what Sundance has accomplished in the exposure of the current reality of America or you would not have made that statement.
Oh, we most certainly did this to ourselves. Our fellow “Americans” did this to us. There is no invading army.
Uncle Charlie, YOU are exactly correct!
In our American System, just like it was for our Founders and Framers — and the patriot citizens of that time — the BUCK STILL AND ALWAYS WILL STOP WITH US, We The American People … and NO ONE ELSE.
It is remarkable, and, truly sad, that there remain so many people — I, for one, see such sentiments expressed so often when reading comment sections — who do not YET understand this most basic of American concepts: We Citizens are the ones who are ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE for our fate.
We, neither separately nor collectively, possess any special immunity to the vagaries of a cruel and unjust world; whether vagaries such are domestic or otherwise.
If we are to be a FREE PEOPLE — this is the way it was intended and designed; see in our Declaration of Independence — this is the way it MUST be.
There is no army — other than the one in the mirror — that is going to come and rescue us.
Those who shrugged, “I have nothing to hide,” when the Patriot Act restricted our Constitutional freedoms, are the same ones who dutifully line up for “vaccine” cards that restrict even more of our Constitutional freedoms.
These misguided citizens also go along with internet hall monitors (NGO’s) who censor and criminalize our conversations, even to the point of censoring the President of the United States of America!
Due to these unconstitutional restrictions on speech, citizens are not even permitted to *discuss* the TREASONOUS COUP that already took place.
When will we, the American people, decide to reclaim OUR God-given freedoms codified under the US Constitution? The criminals and traitors who were installed to destroy our Constitutional Republic will *not* intervene on our behalf.
I renember waking up the morning after the November 4, 2008, election and realizing with a sense of despair that our country was never going to be the same one I grew up in (Baby Boomer).
I had worked in Washington DC in the ’70’s–’90’s and knew that an undistinguished junior Senator from corrupt Chicago, with the middle name of Hussein, could not have been fairly elected but that dark and mysterious forces had rigged it somehow.
The engineered collapse of our Republic has accelerated to an unimaginable degree.
What can we do to turn back the tide? It seems we are lone voices crying out in the darkness.
I felt that after Bill Clinton was elected.
What is the definition of a good watchdog and if it is ignored what is the use?
Many people pointed at the wars and 911 as our government behavior. Nobody listened. Well, now we know why, The MSM were in on it.
Our thriving socialist/communist takeover of the congress by AOC and her ilk was predicted by Nikita Khrushchev in 11/1956, “we will take America without firing a shot”.
Rather than waging direct warfare against its enemies, especially not one equipped as the US the Soviet mode of thinking was to destroy the enemy country from within. This method while certainly not expeditious, according to Yuri, is 100% successful over time.

Absolutely right. They’ve infiltrated us from within. Look at the lineup of filth they have installed in our government making decisions. The whole thing has to be ripped out from the roots. Been trying to point this out and I woke up banned on Twitter this morning.
So much for Musk’s freedom of speech.
You didn’t really think Musk was going to allow Freedom of speech for the Right did ya? This is all obvious. Sundance does have good stuff though, as no one’s better at seeing Uniparty pretenders early on.
These people that took over the USA aren’t Americans, as they are elites that look at themselves as internationalists at home anywhere else in the world, and they do not identify with regular USA citizens.
The New Nazi Order is not USA people, as they are more like Azov people.
Here in Canada too…complacency has much to do with it.
Obesity, drug ( prescription and illicit) use are epidemic and of course the absence of God in many’s lives.
This site and Sundance’s articles have contributed more to my understanding of politics etc. than anything before.
Cheers!
Poisoned food (GMOs even) and in our cleaning products, bad water etc. The bad health and weight problems are planned in, and people who move to places with better food and less poisoning often get slimmer fast without changing anything .
Thank you. We should reject the “blame the victim” gaslighting technique of sociopaths. It is supposed to paralyze us.
It may be true that in the past we were uninformed and apathetic. But this is now. We are taking action by diligently seeking the truth and informing each other. This forms the basis for correct and effective action. Sundance plays a huge role!

Bye, Bye America!
Right back atcha
I do not reject the idea that we may lose this war. I am quite aware of this possibility.
That doesn’t change my stance. History will find me fighting for what is right. Whether we will win does not determine my actions. Acting and standing for what is true does, no matter the outcome.
None of this will be anything but “prep-work” in historical terms. This is the traditional “pre-paration” where most of the courageous ones make da**-sure they are legitimate actions and logical consequences imposed on “bad” actors.
No one refers to much if any of the “politics” that took place prior to Lexington and Concord and few if any take tame to recall that Lexington and Concord was a full 15 months PRIOR to signing of Dec of Ind.
My 10th great grandfather was at Lexington and Concord then marched with Washington. When I found that out, I researched what led up to 1775-1776. Remember the Stamp Taxes? It was in th 1740’s that there was talk of revolt, nearly 40 years of discontent. They were killing people with taxes. One interesting tax was that they counted the windows with glass and you were taxed. Anyway, my point is that it takes a long time for “the pot to boil over.”
Preach it, brother!
Micheal Furey: I am not weak, I am not broken, and I strive to improve our situation every day.
Get out of my fox hole.
To fix a problem one must first identify the problem and how we go to this point. Sundance has done just that and more. Most people didn’t have a clue how things worked behind the curtains in Washington. Now we do and can focus on fixing the problem.
Exactly
Thanks glowie. JMClever has the righ tanswer.
Michael,
If any or many of the Cabal or DS people have been arrested, how would you know, and could it be in public with the public courts being completely corrupt?
Wow.
I think it would be great to have a CTH reference section for SD’s post like this one.
One other possible weapon I might add is foreign employees of our government known as Senior Executive Services (SES) which seems to be modeled after British Indian Civil Services (ICS). ICS was the bureaucracy of the Crown to maintain their Imperialism in India.
This foreign element within our government allowed for infiltration of other agencies via interagency posting and joint task forces. The result was a depiction of democracy and freedom.
To me this foreign fifth column appears to be run out of the CIA. We have to ask what is the motivation for this decades long illusion? The ones managing it also control the Central Banking System and have access to all the fiat currency they could ever want. So if they arent doing it for the money what is the motivation?
Great minds. I touched on SES below.
Some people have said this guy is SES.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11483477/Non-binary-nuclear-waste-guru-pictured-LGBTQ-conference-weekend-stole-2k-luggage.html
He is something alright.
The SES is a creation of Obama. He brought in political appointees, bypassing the normal civil service hiring process legally, and who would normally be asked to leave at the end of his term. The SES was created by EO to make those appointees federal employees who could not be removed any longer by simply asking for their resignation. Not only did Obama’s appointees remain in office, but there was no normal turnover of employees who were civil service or appointees with other political beliefs.
There is power in We the People knowing the system is entirely fake.
Our leaders must keep pretending it’s real. No matter how fake, they cannot break from their script. All of their power is based on the system having “the appearance” of being real. No matter how much corruption is exposed, no matter how many times they are faced with, “President Trump was right again”, they cannot break ranks. If they did, they would lose all power. They must hold on to “the appearance” of legitimacy no matter how illegitimate.
They must hold onto “the appearance” that poopy pants was duly elected.
They must hold onto “the appearance” that President Trump, who filled up stadiums in every part of our country ahead of his re-election just couldn’t get the voter support necessary to win.
They must hold onto “the appearance” that President Trump, who was 232-22 in his support for mid-term candidates and had a 96+% win record in the primaries, is fading in his appeal.
They are the ones in the death embrace for power and control, not us. The tighter their grip on giving “the appearance” of legitimacy, the more illegitimate they look.
We the People can sit back and watch this spectacle play itself out. I don’t know where this is going, but when the enemy is digging their own grave, it’s probably best not to tell them to put down the shovel.
Very Well Stated. We all should appreciate Your Positive Outlook! Cheers!
This is where “you” [meaning any who need it and not MAGA Minuteman specifically) need to recall gun purchase stats: no-body is actually sitting back:
You get the places where we are not sitting back… but when we move… when…
There are some Godly principles that are present in this. One, unrighteousness causes fear. These people are in fear, so is Lucifer. As we back them in the corner it will get worse.
Righteousness, can be our strength if we rely totally upon it. Meaning, we do no compromise character of ourselves or those we install in power. As is we are destitute of any Godly character or righteousness, in our government. I’d say very few citizens even know what or how to acquire it. It’s not impossible it’s just a realization and acceptance of truth in our lives, no compromise. It’s where the enemy gets it’s foothold.
If we are uncompromising we will see things as they are or with clarity. If we at any point relinquish that necessity we shall start this over again at that point.
If one man is righteous than he is to be an example, Jesus walked the earth in righteousness, he was crucified, but his legacy lives on. I would have you look at the founding documents, are they not a legacy? Actions can be righteous from anyone if the intent is pure.
People in hell see hell, people in heaven see heaven. We must change the lighting for us all.
The Trumpification of Elon Musk
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2022/12/01/ponder_the_treatment_of_musk_and_trump.html?mc_cid=291340c3e6&mc_eid=891d8cfdc0
The relentless attacks on Elon Musk since he purchased Twitter should be familiar to most Americans. It’s exactly what Democrats and their media and corporate allies did to demonize Donald Trump.
The McCarthyite formula is simple: Claim you are defending high-minded principles (Democracy! The rule of law! Civil discourse!) to justify efforts to delegitimize someone you’ve identified as a political opponent.

This is video is fantastic. He not only factually destroys in great detail big tech and the MSM over the laptop coverup, he also obliterates all of the smears made against Trump while in office and shows them, just using news reported by the MSM itself, to be laughable to anyone paying even the slightest, objective attention. A great, detailed coverage of our US propaganda and narrative control mechanism.

“The McCarthyite formula is simple”
And there is yet ANOTHER conservative too propagandized to know the ACTUAL story about Joseph McCarthy, a NATIONAL HERO. Ticks me off:
Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America’s Enemies
Accused of creating a bogus Red Scare and smearing countless innocent victims in a five-year reign of terror, Senator Joseph McCarthy is universally remembered as a demagogue, a bully, and a liar. History has judged him such a loathsome figure that even today, a half century after his death, his name remains synonymous with witch hunts.
But that conventional image is all wrong, as veteran journalist and author M. Stanton Evans reveals in this groundbreaking book. The long-awaited Blacklisted by History, based on six years of intensive research, dismantles the myths surrounding Joe McCarthy and his campaign to unmask Communists, Soviet agents, and flagrant loyalty risks working within the U.S. government.
Evans’s revelations completely overturn our understanding of McCarthy, McCarthyism, and the Cold War. Drawing on primary sources—including never-before-published government records and FBI files, as well as recent research gleaned from Soviet archives and intercepted transmissions between Moscow spymasters and their agents in the United States—Evans presents irrefutable evidence of a relentless Communist drive to penetrate our government, influence its policies, and steal its secrets.
Most shocking of all, he shows that U.S. officials supposedly guarding against this danger not only let it happen but actively covered up the penetration. All of this was precisely as Joe McCarthy contended.
Blacklisted by History shows, for instance, that the FBI knew as early as 1942 that J. Robert Oppenheimer, the director of the atomic bomb project, had been identified by Communist leaders as a party member; that high-level U.S. officials were warned that Alger Hiss was a Soviet spy almost a decade before the Hiss case became a public scandal; that a cabal of White House, Justice Department, and State Department officials lied about and covered up the Amerasia spy case; and that the State Department had been heavily penetrated by Communists and Soviet agents before McCarthy came on the scene.
Evans also shows that practically everything we’ve been told about McCarthy is false, including conventional treatment of the famous 1950 speech at Wheeling, West Virginia, that launched the McCarthy era (“I have here in my hand . . .”), the Senate hearings that casually dismissed his charges, the matter of leading McCarthy suspect Owen Lattimore, the Annie Lee Moss case, the Army-McCarthy hearings, and much more.
In the end, Senator McCarthy was censured by his colleagues and condemned by the press and historians. But as Evans writes, “The real Joe McCarthy has vanished into the mists of fable and recycled error, so that it takes the equivalent of a dragnet search to find him.”
Blacklisted by History provides the first accurate account of what McCarthy did and, more broadly, what happened to America during the Cold War. It is a revealing exposé of the forces that distorted our national policy in that conflict and our understanding of its history since.
I was very young when Senator McCarthy was investigating the Commies in our government, but my father was a believer in the Senator and his discoveries. Dad was correct. The media smeared and slandered McCarthy at that time — nothing has changed. They are still doing the same thing to anyone who poses a threat to their agenda. Senator McCarthy was a true American hero. May he rest in peace. Hindsight is insight.
Enoch Powell in the 60s warned, eloquently, that the road Britain was on with immigration would lead to the precise point Britain is today. He was prescient and prophetic with his “Rivers of Blood” speech in Parliament.
And while he was not erased from history, he was pilloried and dismissed as something he was not….a scare monger and a racist. He gave fair and accurate warning.
Today I saw a photo of third world invaders enjoying after dinner conversation and camaraderie and warmth in a Blackpool hotel…said hotel and food provided by British taxpayers. This is not an isolated case. It is happening up and down the length and breadth of Britain.
Next to this picture was another of Blackpool residents bundled up against the cold, queueing up at a soup kitchen…all having trouble paying for monstrous energy bills and food.
I am incandescent on a level I had no idea I was capable of.
Slowly, I have come to understand the so called facts I was taught long ago about McCarthy were wrong. In light of what is happening now…the uncovering and exposure of just how deep the ideology he was fighting against is now within every corner of government. This state of affairs didn’t just occur. It has been decades in its poisonous infiltration and destruction of our moribund Republic.
Dare I say McCarthy was Powell’s American counterpart? Warning and trying to mitigate what both could see coming for their individual countries? And both being shoved into an ignominious corner for the impertinence of trying to warn of the disasters which have, in each case, come to pass?
Like a drunkard who ends up on an unfamiliar road after a night’s binge coming to his senses, who looks around him at his surroundings and asks how on earth he got there…here is where we are.
And only now are we digging through the detritus (thank you, Sundance) to find the source of the deadly infection so that we can, if possible, clean it out so what remains of our very sick, near death Republic can be, please God, resuscitated.
Thank you, Winston, for your exceptional post which allowed me to expound on the comparison I’ve been thinking about for a very long time.
By 1974 I knew all the stuff about McCarthy was fake, and I came from a Blue-collar Leftist family. First I ran into a spit in your face Alinsky PoC who told me I wasn’t far enough Left. After telling said Alinsky guy that I was thinking of snapping his twig neck, I started a sharp turn to the Right Politically. Anyone with a brain who looks into McCarty from a Right viewpoint soon sees the reality, that he was lied about and abused.
Did you know that Roy Cohen was his right hand man , and later Trump’s Mentor.
The truth is the current crop of Cabal operatives are far worse than the Stalinists in the past, as they are the even Eviler Trotskyites that Stalin threw out. They were welcomed over here in places like New York and Chicago .
Yknow it wasnt long before I realized McCarthy wasnt wrong…..
It’s probably a good book, but would be more appealing without Ann Coulter’s endorsement. Coulter is just a white Kamala, but without the same deep-throating skills her glass ceiling is lower.
If you make the MISTAKE of not watching the entire Glenn Greenwald video, his logical OBLITERATION of the smears of Trump while in office starts at 48:40 right after he correctly slams the MSM and big tech based upon the large amount of examples he gave previously in the video.
Do not forget that Elon Musk is a globalist just like Zuckerberg, Gates, Buffet, etc. He is also heavily dependent on China for 45% of Tesla’s profits. He is also defending Jack Dorsey who is the second largest stockholder in the privately held Twitter. Musk is in the same bed with China as the Bidens, Obamas, Clintons, Pelosi etc. Beware…
Yup. Woke up to a suspended account this morning – someone in Germany reported a post I made about Pizzagate. Don’t know how long the suspension is for, but just sent an appeal.
Perhaps the auto-bots are still active and was triggered by key words you used?
I don’t know. I am hoping that is all it was. Hoping I get an answer, but its Sunday. They must work on Sundays? Because someone banned me last night?
Whatever, Twitter is still kicking off all sorts of Right wing people, and the why is of little matter. The fact is, it’s still happening and not likely to stop. It’s not a glitch, it’s a feature.
Fire Wife…: My well intended advice is to stay off Twitter. It’s toxic.
I have submitted 3 appeals since Elon took over and still have no answer. I was suspended January 7, 2021.
A refreshed updated rendering by Sundance of his masterpiece in reporting. The truth is as startling as the real world view from “The Matrix”. This is why our real world threats are growing, becoming stronger layer upon layer.
The last bastion to resist is with the power of the states (per Sundance), and he is largely correct. How long do we have until that is thwarted? I personally do not see a federal solution coming from elections. Even if Trump is elected in 2024 where is his support within congress to get anything changed?
The truths posted here by Sundance are ignored, buried or dismissed by any mass media. The depth of complexity turns off 60% of the American populace within 10 seconds. At least 35 to 40% are brainwashed leftists who dismiss this outright. What can possibly trigger an “AWAKENING” for so many?
It has to become personal. The Twitter revelations might be the start of something, but I’m not hopeful.
We are still sliding down the gully.
It appears AZ and GA have been successfully subverted. The real goal of Marc Elias, not the current election.
Politically subverted, yes. What’s next if tyranny succeeds? What does history show is next? What does the Dec of Ind say? What about the Constitution?
It is not all for nought.
Trump running and possibly being in office again forces people to address that cognitive dissonance in their head.
Politically: only politically sliding down the gully… ok now its gone economic too but my point is this:
…and the Antifa, blm, fbi, cia, SES, have been alone and unopposed physically except for very minor “skirmishes”… Bundy, Stanford, J6
We have an “enFORCEment problem primarily and it will be addressed.
The political fight is the ENTRY into the physical one: and it looks like we will be compelled to the physical fight before this is over (at minimum arrests for criminal actions).
Furthermore:
No history lessons and no “situation in history” every teaches or requires much more than 10% understanding (by adult population) of complexity as long as the narrative ACCURATELY resolves decisions for “many”. “Many” will always do nothing — the corresponding logic = as long as “ENOUGH PEOPLE” fight for “good results” while too few fight for poor/bad/worse, then Good has odds of winning.
Our future has in the past; is in the present; and will be in the future hanging on the consequential actions of a small percentage with the consent or blessings of most: opposed by a few…
And on victory day, the number of people claiming the victory will vastly outnumber the counting of real actives per normal. All are called to make sure this happens [victory for freedom day] because there is no “option” for surrender when freedom is on the line.
What can possibly trigger an “AWAKENING” for so many?
Answer: when people have nothing left to lose and have greater fear of dying due to the privations imposed by despots in DC, rather than the risk of dying by defying those same despots.
Maximus-Cassius: Throughout history, it is always been the “few” that made the difference. Or, the “remnant,” if you will. Be one of the few. Be the remnant.
Yes, for those who pay any attention, we have already crossed that line. When your government implements your own genocide, and comes after your children, it is definitely time to FIGHT BACK.
Excellent!
This is imperative to understand that these demons play-toy 24/7 surveillance is swamp rat job security. Our government has been captured for decades to K-Street money, foreign & domestic.
It’s the permanent bureaucracy like SES (Senior Executive Service) ostensibly for CoG (Continuity of Government) transfer of power from one administration to another. Another gem from Jimmy Carter. When in truth the 4th branch along with the SES is now a weapon used by these swamp rats and their generational self-anointed entitlement.
Nepotism in the regular world is intended as a pejorative, in the swamp it’s controlled comfort and allows these demonic swamp rats to sleep at night.
MAGA equals the destruction of this corrupt system, hang tough and become Ultra-MAGA!
Important essay.
As I was reading this vast wealth of critical information a question suddenly came to mind .
The Question became a major distraction so I would like to ask it now.
What ever happened to the person who seems to have been the first to alert president elect Trump of this threat to his presidency and our country ?
That person being Admiral Mike Rodgers.
He seems to have fallen off the face of the earth.
Rodgers is now with the DC think tank group Issue One. Supposedly non-partisan group.
In some ways, Admiral Rodgers shows what is wrong with DC and the siloed information. The IG discovered all the FISA abuse (where is he now?) and passed it along to Admiral Rodgers. That forced Admiral Rodgers to act, so he tells Trump, as well as, implementing some reforms. Afterwards he rides off into the sunset. He did what he needed to do and left. Admiral Rodgers may be an decent, honest man, but in the end another bureaucrat that wasn’t going to burn the corrupt institutions down.

Maybe… maybe not.
Your description is consistent with observations so far. However, human affairs generally and this current modern battle specifically is jam-packed with deception: and when deception is afoot consistency is a cover story and often not the truth.
Our enemy fought from the first day with deception.
We did not return the favor in any serious way until Trump.
Mike Rogers trip to Trump was a SIGNAL to friend and foe alike: that Trump knew he had been surveilled and the deep state was also very well aware that they had “lost control” of NSA and would have to operate differently going forward.
My working theory is that Roger’s Maneuver was an important piece in the moving forward of Trump’s inauguration and preplanned in every possible meaning of the word by Trump and his combat Ops command structure.
More to follow on this angle as we get more information “historically” about how Trump ACTUALLY overcame the vote steal and overcame forces that would have prevented his inauguration under different circumstances.
Remember well: Military men walked down the steps behind Trump at the inauguration… it meant something much more important than we knew at the time and even still do not know fully what it meant.
However, you might want to read Trump’s recent truth social: [paraphrase] criminality in vote fraud like we saw in 2020 and 2022 WARRANT ACTIONS BEYOND “NORMAL” CONSTITUTIONAL VOTING PROCEDURES:
More to come I’m sure.
Just a short add on:
Rogers shut down fbi ability to query NSA database: but at the time we “found that out” we didn’t know to what extent the fbi was treasonous in its intent and operational activity. Now that “picture” is much clearer and the shutting off of the fbi access to database much more consequential for our calculations of what went on, what is going on now, and what is likely to happen in the near future
1)REDO
–or–
2)INSTALL TRUMP; JAIL AND PUNISH BRANDON for treason.
–or–
both, 2 first then 1

Great piece, Sundance!
In answer to the article’s title question, I read this in an article in the Epoch Times yesterday : “Twitter acting by itself to suppress free speech is not a 1st amendment violation, but acting under orders from the government to suppress free speech, with no judicial review, is,” Musk said in a tweet late Friday.
There is definitely more coming!
What if they’re acting at the direction of NATO?

Thank you, Sundance.
These RINOS and Dems were brought up reading Superman, Captain America and Green Lantern comics among other super heros. Did they not watch the ‘ good cowboys,’ Roy Rogers and Gene Autry among others?
Also the Star Wars series.
Were they identifying with Lex Luthor, Thanos and Darth Vader?.
I am truly wondering how these enemies of We the People turned to the dark side as they grew up here in America with our unique liberty and justice for all.
They are hell-bent on selling our children out even though they got to enjoy the benefits of American life in the 1940s, 50s and 60s.
The Word of GOD warns:
As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
Proverbs 11:19
The root cause of all this began with the first socialist president, Woodrow Wilson. He implemented two planks of the Communist Manifesto, the “progressive” income tax and the Federal Reserve (central bank). These permitted the federal government to become the leviathan it is today.
I wish I could give you more upvotes for your comment, grickm. People are just ignorant of true history. Of course, that does not include anyone who participates on CT.
“federal government’….as established at the Appomattox courthouse in 1865.
17th Amendment also during Wilson’s administration.
1913 – beginning of the end for the Republic. After their 100 year march through the institutions, you get to Obama being re-elected and the surveillance state Sundance is blogging about.
I also find pleasure in reading our history and studying the repeating patterns in the timeline.
The raid on President Trump with a secret general search warrant now being battled before the courts is an interesting echo to the period 14 years before Lexington.
The colonists were in court fighting against the broad general search warrants of the crown in 1761. This would lead to an ‘awakening’ through the colonies as people began to view the crown as being totalitarian.

Such an amazing article and right on target…
What I still don’t get out of this:
– Who, what person, is running this 4th branch of government? Obama? Who runs Obama?
– Why are they doing this? Just power? But in the process they are destroying the USA, our values, our culture. Why?
Power and money. US middle class has always stood in the way of their plans for a global, neofascist government. They need to eliminate the Age of Enlightenment and revert to the feudalism of the early 1700’s. For a pop-culture reference see The Hunger Games. The world carved up into economic gulags with resources being shipped to capitol cities occupied by the “elites”.
Who:
think about how the mafia family system runs:
Head of family
Council Meeting of family heads
Each family is given “territory”
Then, make a list of “the families” and figure out the council meeting structure.
The families are given industries (multiple) or politics, and/or territory
Why
yep… power is their herion or cocaine: do not underestimate this motivation.
They have no feeling for these institutions/structures and no empathy for ANYONE.
because: psychopathology
There’s only one correction I would make with regards to the Patriot Act: “it wasn’t hurried.” The document many hundreds of pages long, and yet it “just appeared” after 9/11. It is impossible for anything that long to have been written that quickly.
Furthermore, I will flatly repeat my opinion that two buildings were not felled by airliners – those were merely decoys. And the third building (which contained the city’s “anti-terrorism response center” and should have been occupied by then) certainly did not fall on its own. All three fell exactly into their own footprint, even though the top of one began to topple briefly to one side. The US Government covered up everything that happened. Which means only one thing: they knew. And they still know.
Only a small handful of companies on this planet possess the level of demolition skill that we saw here. Preparations had to have taken many weeks, right under everybody else’s noses. Damned right they know exactly “who.” Did they do such a monstrous and psychopathic thing to justify their “Patriot Act?” Surely no one would take it that far … Well, I do wonder sometimes, when I contemplate what else these people have since done in their mad bid for power.
They have no problem of conscience sacrificing people to move their agenda forward, even if it means murder. They consider us expendable.
WT 7 IS questionable….anyone thinking because buildings 1 & 2 fell “in their own footprints” points to a controlled demolition is being led around by the nose……those buildings had UNIQUE architecture and could ONLY collapse that way as their support structure was EXTERNAL rather than the typical internal……the floors were “hung” from this external skeleton and the support pins were weakened by the burning fuel enough allowing a sequential collapse floor by floor in a pancake effect gaining speed and efficiency at it continued
We very plainly saw otherwise with one tower, Kroseus. At first, the top section began to fall to one side, as one would have expected if this were a “natural” structural failure. Then, suddenly it fell straight down – which could only happen if everything directly underneath it suddenly lost all structural integrity. I’m also not here to debate how boiling hot metal could be seen pouring out of a building for many minutes: “jet fuel” cannot do this. I’m also not here to discuss the beams that were seen cut off at a 45 degree angle, which is exactly what a thermite charge does.
No … “if one of them was ‘demo’d, all of them were.” And the perpetrators wanted to make sure that you understood this. All of these things required months of preparation, taking place right under everyone’s noses. And, all three “jobs” were executed to perfection … even involving the tallest buildings in the world.
There is exactly one explanation which accounts for what we saw. It is inconceivable to me how this could have been pulled off – but I could see with my own eyes that it was. And, I know they must have left a trail of evidence in the form of building visitor logs, “maintenance” records and so on. In addition to the very small number of companies in the world who could have accomplished such a feat. If you could admit to having done this, the world of “demo” would be beating a pathway to your door forever.
You can easily surf for videos about “demolition fails” to see all of the many ways that controlled demolition can go wrong. All three of these “jobs” were done perfectly.
Donald Trump knows the truth about this – search out his comments from the time.
See my post up-thread on the same subject. It was a government operation to install the Patriot Act which had already been prepared and ready to go. Anyone who has just witnessed what they did with Covid should have no problem believing this. Our “government” as it stands today is not worth saving but we the patriots are the only ones who can take it down – as outlined in the Declaration of Independence. We have not only the right but the DUTY to do so.
I liken this article to a form of mental chemotherapeutic medicine.
Critical for us to endure if we are ever going rid this nation if the existential threat to our future.
In the mean time we must suffer through the side effects that make us sick to our stomachs.
We must be strong and see things as they are and never fall to the temptation to look away.
Because ,as Sundance has told us many times ,once you see it you can never not see it again.
I’m worried. Musk dropping Twitter’s drawers is a an unexpected and welcome gift. However, the focus is being set on the illegal corruption of social media, but the illegal corruption of ballots and voting machines is where the action is.
I think the timing is incredibly suspect. The Balenciaga story was gaining major traction and then the Twitter files dropped. I was all over Twitter last night trying to point this out and woke up this morning to my account suspended. Maybe was getting too close to the truth?
CarpeTrachea: The entire “Twitter release” by Musk is intended to immunize the government. There will be no prosecutions because “it’s old news.”
The deal with Musk and Twitter is that he is part of the cover up, benefitting greatly by appearing to be the knight on a white horse. Meanwhile, every one of “his” companies, now, including Twitter, thrives in “partnership” with the government. Every one of Musk’s companies is a giant “work-around” the traditional government bureaucracy. Think about it.
Twitter–Intelligence community
Tesla–energy and transportation
SpaceX–NASA, Space Force
Starlink–Telecommunications, Command and Control, Surveillance, Intelligence
While I note this to be a contrarian view in conservative circles, it was my view from the get-go. Elon works for Branch 4 IMO. He’s a cleaner like Barr and Durham were, except in the communications and public/private espionage realm.
Dunes2021: It’s lonely being right, isn’t it? 😀
In short –
“If I had an hour to solve a problem I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.”
― Albert Einstein
We appear to be running the risk of analysis paralysis in current events. Sometimes we need a Patton to point the army in a direction and shove off and figure it out along the way. We’re now in a pivotal month of his work in 1944, work that likely was instrumental in eliminating the Nazi scourge.
So do we need to lead and/or anoint leaders to take on the Communist scourge. The problem has been sufficiently identified, for decades now IMO.
Weapons created by governments are always turned inwards.
Jefferson: “It is in the natural course of events that liberty recedes and government grows.”
There is nothing new under the sun. The censorship is the dead giveaway.
Thank you, Sundance.
I have read this, beginning with the original publication shortly after your DC visit, each time you publish it. Invariably I discover another nugget that I either overlooked on previous readings, or the foundational understanding was not there in the beginning.
Many times on completing the reading, I am overwhelmed – sometimes with grief for the loss of our country and our system of ensuring our freedoms. Other times, like today, I draw my belt tighter and become more and more determined to bring the entire, rotten, corrupt system down no matter the cost to myself.
I think each time SD puts this out he adds whatever he has found out since the last time.
Fully explains why Kevin McCarthy must NOT become Speaker, if the Constitution means anything.
And there’s a slow, slow train of abuses and usurpations comin’ up around the bend…

“you gotta serve somebody”…. choose wisely.
Øbama was the king of Warrantless Surveillance.
There was a overall dramatic rise in warrantless surveillance during the Ø years – so much that it alarmed even the ACLU:
Øbama changed the law TWICE (2013 & 2017) to make it easier to conduct warrantless data gathering.
*https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jan/12/obama-us-intelligence-greater-access-warrantless-data-foreign-targets
*http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/07/us/in-secret-court-vastly-broadens-powers-of-nsa.html
85% of Øbama’s warrantless surveillance searches were illegal! P 82 – https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/icotr/51117/2016_Cert_FISC_Memo_Opin_Order_Apr_2017.pdf
It was exposed here – “Obamagate Is Not a Conspiracy Theory” “Obama normalized domestic spying….judge shopping to spy on James Rosen, journalist…” – David Harsanyi – National Review – 5/12/20 – https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/05/trump-russia-investigation-obamagate-not-conspiracy-theory/
Regarding spying on Trump – The FISA warrants were merely window-dressing. It is likely that Øbama was surveilling/spying Trump and his family, team, et al, without a warrant for at least a year, probably longer.
Trump knew.
Here are his tweets:
Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my “wires tapped” in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017
Is it legal for a sitting President to be “wire tapping” a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017
I’d bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017
How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017
I remember President Trump was thoroughly trashed by the media and others over his old fashioned terminology “wire tapping” which apparently was an attempt to draw attention from the fact that he was being spied upon.
Bare-naked you know who the terrorists are. Eyes wide open. Not a sound, not a peep, no one speak.
TRUTH
Christina Bobb@christinabobb
Unreal! Katie Hobbs’s office contacts Twitter to have posts removed! So, the democrat candidate, who ran the AZ election, censored her political opponents, disrupted Election Day votes, and then threatened counties with prosecution if they didn’t declare her the winner
https://truthsocial.com/users/christinabobb/statuses/109455712287203239
And Dhillon & CO. missed all that.
Dhillon worked for, and works for, the establishment. Lake was had, little different than we saw after the 2020 steal. Remember all those supposedly patriot lawyers who were working for PDJT? Yup.
Has this been sent to Kari Lake?
Trump waited far too long to declassify Spygate.
If I recall correctly, the thinking at the time was that declassification and release would have been labeled by his enemies as an attempt to obstruct justice (i.e. impact ongoing investigations), and that would guarantee an impeachment and make conviction in the Senate more likely.
Makes the Senate conviction a done deal. Any unilateral action would be considered obstruction of justice and possibly something worse if the “national security” tag is attached. That gives the GOPe political cover to convict.
Trump should have gone directly to the people and named names.
The intelligence briefing with the appropriate classified materials that he retains and declassifies, then releases them into the wild and leaves patriots to do the rest.
That was the hack I came up with at the time, since Branch 4 was never going to follow any declassification requests or orders.
PDJT played by the rules and took the high road, pretty much like conservatives in general are doing now. The results are what they are.
Light is the best in illuminating truth!
A phenomenal job, Sundance.
The country is grateful for your work.
Just like Rush, you need your own medal.
I hope you can receive it soon. I remain hopeful.
God bless your Advent and prayers.

Deep dive writing is holding up very well so far. Thanks Sundance. In the end game the only critique will be it didn’t go far enough in detailing the criminal acts undertaken by these “actors”.
Remember Biden just arbitrarily and without merit praised GM for their electric car efforts? He non-personed Tesla.
Patriot Act – I wasn’t into politics then but I sure do remember being surprised that something like this was just ready to be signed by Bush in no time at all. They were ready and waiting.
Just like the bill that became ObamaCare was pulled out of a drawer and dusted off when the Senate suddenly had 60 Democrats.
If you don’t want to expose yourself on social media, DO NOT POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
clodfobble: Exactly, and yet, people who were previously “cancelled” on Twitter can’t wait to get back on Twitter.

For a long time I really didn’t have that much concern for a one world government if the US was the one running that government using our Constitution. It actually made sense for global peace and prosperity. But I see that the junta has no such intention and their goals seem to be very closely aligned with a fascist paradise which I want no part of for myself and family. Lincoln’s house divided words come to mind and I think it is only a matter of time.
LOL….Lincoln….one of the World’s first sanctioned war criminals and the first major violator of the US Constitution……after all he had to ignore the constitution to save it went the reasoning
Bill Barr is a traitor
There are a few key conditions still needed for the implementation of the system described by Sundance.
Most crucial is the total level of cooperation required between BOTH Political Entities (the DNC and RNC) controlling who sits at the controls of Government. These entities:
*Pass, Modify and Replace LAW using the cloak of the US Constitution to legitimize their actions.
*Appoint members to, sustain, legislatively legitimize and “oversee” Offices of the EXECUTIVE branch. This is the root of simultaneous corruption of ALL 3-Branches US Government we have today.
*Have alternated “control” over ALL 3-Branches of the US Government since 2001, without a single move being made away from the corruption, with the exception of President Trump’s tenure in the White House.
This level of joint cooperation is necessary to allow the use of the US Constitution to legitimize their actions in the eyes of la la land populace.
Yes, Obama-Holder happened to be the willing puppets in office, when the current System of Government was put in place. Yet, that does not happen without both the utter joint efforts of the DNC and RNC to put the “right” people in “positions of authority”, who were willing to wear the puppet strings.
This is great background on what is happening. This has been published by SD numerous times with added relevant updated info each time. If you have not read this before it is well worth the time. For others it is a review with current further enlightenment.
Masterful work Sundance. I can’t thank you enough for bringing clarity to the dysfunction of our government. I feel so much more informed now
I finally started contributing on a monthly basis after being a member for many years.
I deleted my PayPal account so had to use the new beta test payment method
Well I didn’t recognize the billing name on my credit card statement and disputed the charge. A few days later my feeble mind remembered and I did call and get the dispute taken off
Monthly donation should be back on track now.
Apologies to the Admins for my faulty memory 😏

So, with the revelation of MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION in working closely with Big Tech Companies, the DNC, & the Democrat Party, do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution. Our great “Founders” did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!

Aired only once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which it was written and effectively banned and never aired again.

Sounds good to me but I prefer execution for treason.
“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).” – Sundance
The conundrum is how do we change this? We can’t defund them it appears, can’t vote them out of office they’re all unelected, it seems that fraudulent elections are now Constitutional and protesting them is Unconstitutional what other options are left??? Time is running out as millions of future voting illegal aliens aka Democrats walk across out open Southern Border! I have no answer! God help us! Hosanna!
Great points as usual Bubby. Where I used to live under Democrat criminal (mis)rule, the northern part of the county, which was majority anti-Democrat, had the smaller population of voters and the Democrat made all the county positions “At-Large” (A lawsuit was tried to overturn this injustice on the claims that the Northern towns were not getting representation but the Democrat Judge ruled to keep the injustice in place). So the Democrat County Rulers would tax the hell out of the North and move the money South, into their pockets and into programs for the mostly immigrants and various other Democrat minority groups they propagandized and gave North money too. The Republicans lost 3/4-1 every election. I envision this is their eventual plan for all of America, destroying it all in the process of their keeping power and their various evil criminal, treasonous, and pedo activities in place
Great work Sundance. I really wish you would start posting on Gab.
The Obama network and their ‘pre-assembled intelligence networks’…
are a governmental aspect or purview of “disruptive competitors”….flying on the coat tails of other ‘successful’ ‘products’…..
Baby Bush pushed the one idea that right after 9/11, in the fine tuning of the Patriot Act….
The idea was: The FBI and CIA don’t ‘talk’ to each other in the realm of espionage, terror threats and intelligence sharing.
DOJ controls the FBI? State Dept. controls the CIA?
And Bush pushed the idea that, if they did share data etc, 9/11 could have been prevented. Blame shift and plausible deniability?
So, the big question….do they now, talk to each other?
Asking for a friend…….
Yes. Obama changed the rules so that the intel agencies could move information back and forth. Played a big part in creation of fraudulent Steele document.
So instead of teaching our children this historical truth, our High Schools and Colleges teach CRT and hold Drag Queen events.
The corruption, sickness and pure evil that exists in DC which includes so many RINOS who have sold their sole is beyond comprehension.
I smell and sense a delicious collusion brewing….
It’ll be interesting to learn what that was about….if we ever do. Somehow we never get any real answers.
“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.”
This happened because of the XVIIth Amendment which transfered the election of U.S. Senators from a State’s legislature to its citizens. By this Amendment States lost their role in the oversight of the federal government. Senators became nothing more than Super Representatives with terms of six years instead of two.
In order to begin to take back Our Country one of the first things we should do is repeal the XVII Amendment!
Senators became pawns to the people financing their elections.
In the leadup to 1775, the Government saw American Patriots as the enemy.
In the Declaration of Independence and the Revolutionary War, American Patriots returned the sentiment and acted on it.
In the leadup to 2023, the Government sees American Patriots as the enemy.
Will American Patriots return the sentiment and act of it?
I hope Musk sees this essay. It will expose the depths he only seems to have a surface knowledge of.
And you can understand when revolutions take place why hundreds (and thousands in some places) of the former rulers and their enablers are arrested and worse.
The two lengthy interviews Carlson did with Hunter’s short-time partner, Tony Bobulinski, is what needs to find dissemination on the social media platforms, preferably Twitter.
I’m tired of the ignorant saying, “What does an addict’s perversions have to do with a POtuS.” and I’m even sicker of the those who feign ignorance being able to get away with their phony stance.
THE BIG GUY has adopted policies that favor the people and countries he took money from WHILE IN OFFICE.
A clear case on a much grander scale than of NJ’s own “Pay to Play” by most Democrat criminals, but this also encompasses human/narco/arms trafficking and bio-weapon labs.
The problem is that 90% or more of the American population will never care enough to do a deep dive into this stuff. Millions of our fellow citizens care more about who Trump had dinner with or which bachelor is chosen, than the fact that they have been lied to over and over by their media and their government. In fact, most of them will never even acknowledge that it happened.
We keep getting all excited over these things but we always underestimate the gullibility and stupidity of our fellow citizens and nothing really changes. The fact is, crime does pay if the criminals are big enough and bold enough. When I actually see it happen, I will go back to believing in justice like I used to. If only the real world was like an episode of Perry Mason, where the murder victims were hated by everybody and the perp always end up confessing, then we could count on justice happening, but it’s not.
This is an excellent rehash of the shenanigans in Washington DC that has led to the present conundrum we find ourselves dealing with. Trying to explain this to any average American who doesn’t live in the political environment is a fool’s errand. We will have to fight back using a damn the torpedoes approach. There will never be a majority who will understand the consequences of what is taking place until it has all taken place. So, what do we do now, coach?
I finally read the entire lengthy article. It is a masterpiece in Journalism!
My suspicions are confirmed, but the history of tyranny begins much farther back in the U.S.’s history. Benjamin Franklin said of the work performed in Philadelphia that we were given a Republic if we could keep it. And beginning with the period put on his sentence the enemies of Freedom and Liberty began to dismantle Our Constitution.
Evil exists in many guises, but Truth only has one face.
May God have mercy on our souls for destroying this Country, the last best hope for man on this earth.
