Thesis: Begin with The End in Mind – The U.S. Government control over social media though DHS was going to surface eventually. The people who constructed the systems knew exposure would eventually come. Two CENSORSHIP lawsuits, one filed by Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai in 2020 [LINK], and another filed by Missouri Attorney General in May 2022 [STATE OF MISSOURI ET AL VERSUS JOSEPH R BIDEN JR ET AL], were going to push the relationship between DHS and social media into the public consciousness; mitigation efforts would be needed.
The timing of the Twitter purchase by Elon Musk, initially triggered via major stock purchase in April 2022, must be considered with the overlay of these two sunlight lawsuits. Regardless of who owned Twitter, the nature of DHS controlling a backdoor portal into the content of social media was going to surface – as it has been unfolding from the two referenced censorship lawsuits.
The Twitter Files represent a gateway of discovery into how government assisted creating “Oligarchical Systems.” Surveillance systems delivering mutual benefits called public-private partnerships were formed. Readers here are months ahead of where the arc of this story is destined. However, oligarchical beneficiaries will always defend the system against rogue oligarchs who become a threat.
There are major inconsistencies in the public narrative as it swirls around Elon Musk and Twitter.
How could a businessman, an entrepreneur like Elon Musk, spend $44 billion, that’s BILLION, on an enterprise without knowing the basic outline of how that enterprise was operating. In a world of financial due diligence, on a scale of this size, the contradictions do not make sense.
Yet if we are to take Elon Musk at his word, he had no idea that DHS operated a portal into the network. He also had no idea about James Baker working as Twitter legal counsel and carrying such a massive conflict of interest. Additionally, via his announcement last night, Musk had no idea that Perkins Coie was legally representing Twitter.
How does an owner/operator take ownership of an organization and not know these senior executive issues? Reconcile these questions, and we begin to reconcile a background of activity that Mr. Musk may not know about. The alternative explanation is much more nefarious and involves Musk as a willing participant.
Regardless, before going further I cannot emphasize this point enough. We cannot fight our way through these puzzling issues until we all approach the big questions from the same baseline, the root of what created the system.
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:
Twitter is to the U.S. government as TikTok is to China. The overarching dynamic is the need to control public perceptions and opinions.
DHS has been in ever increasing control of Twitter since the public-private partnership was formed in 2011/2012. However, it’s not just Twitter. The same fundamental relationships are now at work within Google, Microsoft, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook.
With all the shiny things surfacing from the Twitter Files, few are looking at the origin of what the government is trying to keep hidden….
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.
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.
[The Intercept] – […] Behind closed doors, and through pressure on private platforms, the U.S. government has used its power to try to shape online discourse. According to meeting minutes and other records appended to a lawsuit filed by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, a Republican who is also running for Senate, discussions have ranged from the scale and scope of government intervention in online discourse to the mechanics of streamlining takedown requests for false or intentionally misleading information.
“Platforms have got to get comfortable with gov’t. It’s really interesting how hesitant they remain,” Microsoft executive Matt Masterson, a former DHS official, texted Jen Easterly, a DHS director, in February.
In a March meeting, Laura Dehmlow, an FBI official, warned that the threat of subversive information on social media could undermine support for the U.S. government. Dehmlow, according to notes of the discussion attended by senior executives from Twitter and JPMorgan Chase, stressed that “we need a media infrastructure that is held accountable.” (read more)
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.
[…] The extent to which the DHS initiatives affect Americans’ daily social feeds is unclear. During the 2020 election, the government flagged numerous posts as suspicious, many of which were then taken down, documents cited in the Missouri attorney general’s lawsuit disclosed. And a 2021 report by the Election Integrity Partnership at Stanford University found that of nearly 4,800 flagged items, technology platforms took action on 35 percent — either removing, labeling, or soft-blocking speech, meaning the users were only able to view content after bypassing a warning screen. The research was done “in consultation with CISA,” the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
Prior to the 2020 election, tech companies including Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Discord, Wikipedia, Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Verizon Media met on a monthly basis with the FBI, CISA, and other government representatives. According to NBC News, the meetings were part of an initiative, still ongoing, between the private sector and government to discuss how firms would handle misinformation during the election. (keep reading)
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 FBI, DOJ-NSD, DHS and ODNI 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 and a massive nationwide surveillance state. 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 surveillance system, a public-private partnership, is also what removing Donald Trump was 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, FBI and DHS are all about.
What would powerful people in DC do to stop the American people from finding this out?
A controlled 2020 election? An increased censorship in the aftermath? A raid on Mar-a-Lago?
…The need for control is a reaction to fear.
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

Musk was well aware. In all his endeavors, he always thinks through the current narrative to where it needs to be pushed.
Right now Musk seems to be doing a lot of Reconnaissance by Fire.
There’s a brush-fires of liberty in the memes of men right there I tells ya!
The interesting thing about the fall of Empires is that the citizens didn’t seem to realize it as it was happening.
It took centuries to get the contextual perspective necessary to encapsulate that process.
But we are watching it in real time, with the context literally in our face.
And it’s ALWAYS the same recipe; greedy, self-serving, self-indulgent oligarchs with a heavy dose of sexual degeneracy.
There are those who say if you put a lobster in a pot of war water, and then keep bringing the temperature up the lobster will not try to get out until its too late.
Lobsters say the same thing about humans.
Had Hillary won, their plan would likely have continued at the same pace. Then came Trump and they lost four years. IMO, their misstep was trying to make up for that lost time. Think about all the executive orders Joebama signed on his first day, undoing much of the Trump years.
Get a grip off course. It’s a frog.. lobsters never try to hop out.
Oh yes, they do. That was the last time I had lobster.
Every time I’ve read this deep dive into the absolute corruption that swirls around the Kenyan, I come away wondering how one person could display so much outright evil and fool so many people. I don’t care who his puppet masters are, he is at the very center of the total destruction of America
It’s because he was the modern expression of Stalin’s “useful idiot”. Let that be his epitaph.
Useful yes, not particularly intelligent I’ll grant, but there’s not a chance in Hell he never knew in full the extent of and the depravity of the goal of those behind his foul reign.
Indeed…the “intelligent” prove to be idiots…dragon’s pawns, mere shadows upon the board, they are. Yet too many follow them and heed not the Lord’s words concerning them.
Don’t ask me what I think of myself…the irony shuts me up right away…🤔
Therefore the focus moves from the usefulness of their minds to the darkness of their souls.

Indeed.

I think it goes much further back. How far not sure. At the very least Bush 41 is in the nexus.
1. President Reagan assassination attempt by John Hinckley Jr. Bush family & Hinckleys were friends. Scott Hinckley & Neil Bush were scheduled to have lunch day after the attempt. Coincidence?
2. Iran Contra-guns for drugs. All run through Mena, Arkansas. Who was governor then? Bill Clinton. Bush & his sons along with Bill have been working together for decades.
3. PATCON operation looking for the white supremacist boogeymen/domestic terrorists. Ruby Ridge & Waco we’re generated from PATCON.
4. OKC bombing generates said domestic terrorism. Many unanswered questions in regards to OKC. Free Mind Films has a great documentary on YouTube that opened my eyes to how little I knew about OKC. Sorry, I don’t know how to link.
5. 1996 Antiterrorism & Effective Death Penalty Act follows OKC. The beginning of the Patriot Act.
The cabal against the USA has been working for decades.

There’s nothing new under the sun and the Devil’s Playbook hasn’t changed.
Leftist Democrats need to control what their subjects hear & see today for the EXACT SAME REASON Southern Democrats didn’t allow their slaves to read & write 160 years ago.
Evil Then. Evil Now.
ClivusMultrum, I suppose you are right to some extent. But these days is there really much reason to complain about the Democrats and not the Republicans in the same breath? Are you expecting the Rs to come to our rescue?
It might be worthwhile to re-read Sundance’s essay about the DNC and the RNC.
With that essay in mind, I’m sure the Rs have adapted well to comfortable niches in the current political ecosystem. I don’t imagine they want their habitat disturbed.
It makes sense if one realizes the Republicans are on the plantation.
Thats actually a very good analogy because it reduces all the ideological complexity down to a very basic master-slave level that even the large number of factually ignorant Millennials can comprehend.
Don’t forget the Republican elites.
Its not just democrats.
Indeed, however, which ideology was subsumed in which?
Is not the Republican Party functionally on the Democrat Plantation?
Subservient in full?
Excellent point, Maquis.
Republican leadership is on the Dem plantation.
It is very difficult for me to believe that Musk did NOT know certain basic, essentials of a business transaction.
P.E.R.I.O.D.
What if knowing those shadowy connections is EXACTLY why he chose to take over the social media giant anyway?
Ultimately, what does that matter if Musk continues to expose AND COMPROMISE the illegal, unconstitutional, and malevolent collusion between social media and the Deep State?
I wondered that myself.
Perhaps the only way to expose it was to own it?
For all the hate that gets thrown Musk’s way over his endeavors, and the criticisms that may bear merit regarding the wisdom of some of his pursuits, are there any at his level that profess a love for humanity and civilization and have made arguments and taken risks to that end?
He keeps defending Dorsey saying he had no idea. Sorry your CEO, its your responsibility. He had to know the rabid liberals yoel roth and Gadde were. He keeps throwing yoel under the bus..
” … it’s not just Twitter. The same fundamental relationships are now at work within Google, Microsoft, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook.”
What about Apple?
Normally, I don’t like reading the same thing over and over again.
However, I believe SD’s re-issuing the same argument over and over is apropos regarding the subject matter.
It has to become ingrained in our minds lest we forget and needs to forwarded to as many contacts as we all each in our lives.
After decades of propaganda and mendacity from the ‘elites,’ it will take a heavy dose of deprogramming ie reverse psyop of TRUTH to get enough people involved to make a change for the better.
I started tweeting since Musk took over. I literally copied this article to MTG and other politicians that are not RINOs. Trying to gin up interest .
It’s obvious that Bari Weiss isn’t being completely truthful about the Twitter files.
She’s conveniently leaving out key details and names.
Which is why she was chosen by tptb to release the twit files.
USAFirst: Weiss writes for an audience that likes to think of itself as elite and “in the know,” but, the joke’s on them. They are as clueless as Weiss.
Weiss “discovers things” that anyone with a brain has known since forever.
After all, she used to work for the NY Times.
Tiabbi has done the same.
This is who Bari is and it’s not the least bit surprising . I’m disappointed that she was selected and also that there is no one to check her. Elon should have a conservative on the team.
Well, if she’s ‘editing’, she should be fired like Baker.
I am not sure who Mike is, but I know I have seen his tweets so he is a conservative
It appears they have an ensemble working the files and I believe they will be released in some way to the public after all these people have a chance to make some money/gain followers in the meantime.
It must be a huge task to sift thru all the intraoffice communications and remove personal or proprietary into.
4. This first installment covers the period before the election through January 6th. Tomorrow, @Shellenbergermd
will detail the chaos inside Twitter on January 7th. On Sunday, @BariWeiss
will reveal the secret internal communications from the key date of January 8th.
“How could a businessman, an entrepreneur like Elon Musk, spend $44 billion, that’s BILLION, on an enterprise without knowing the basic outline of how that enterprise was operating. In a world of financial due diligence, on a scale of this size, the contradictions do not make sense.”
Sometimes when a patriot sees a threat to his nation, to Western Civilization itself, he doesn’t wait until all the analysis and accounting is in his lap, he just acts.
Can anyone believe that we would be better of if Musk had spent all his time with Space X and Tesla?
Did Donald Trump know all about, or even anywhere near all about, the Deep State before he ran in 2016? Did he even know all about, or even anywhere near all about, the Deep State two years into his Presidency? Some of his choices for top level posts says otherwise.
offcoursenation: What am I missing? How are we better off? Twitter was well on its way to destroying itself. Now, it’s commanding outsized attention, and drawing back in all the people who had finally become “free” of Twitter, albeit not necessarily by their own choice.
Twitter will become a bigger beast.
How do you figure that?
More engagement focused ever more on digging out the truth, with the likes of Sundance delivering the sunwards side of Mercury level sunlight on that very platform seems a powerfully transformational potential that oughtn’t be so easily dismissed.
Maquis: Twitter had become size-constrained and lacked a business model to attract new capital. All the “exposure” serves the dual purpose of immunizing the government from liability by having a “friendly” player “expose” details that everyone always suspected (and which will never get prosecuted), and by allowing Musk to incorporate Twitter into his ever growing network of businesses, all of which, so far, are heavily subsidized by FedGov, if not directly providing services to FedGov.
Twitter will become even more valuable as an “arms length resource” for FedGov.
That theory ignores what is happening right now due to Sundance level sunlight.
Twitter was well on its way to destroying free speech.
offcoursenation: I argue to the contrary. Twitter could not control free speech. People were already wising up to Twitter’s game. But now, with Musk, Twitter has a new lease on life, with access to a constellation of satellites and more DOD money, through Starlink and Spaceshield.
All the people who were cancelled by Twitter are giggly with excitement to re-join the Twitterverse. Twitter will just vacuum up more data from a newly expanding user base.
Twitter would have become a has been. Now, it’s the new new thing, fueled by the attention of all the people that Twitter previously abused.
Also, there will be no prosecutions.
I agree. We knew from the list of people attending Davos meetings that the IC always sent their people to make sure they had back doors to Facebook, Twitter, Apple, etc.
Musk would have known that.
We are better off because there is now hard proof about what has been going on and before it’s over we are bound to learn new things we hadn’t imagined.
A lot of the info being released goes to intent. They will no longer be able to claim there was no political bias in their “moderation”
The sort of smoking gun hard evidence of intent that eluded Horowitz on the predication of CH
Trump openly admitted that it was worse than he thought.
Bondo and spray paint have led to many disappointed buyers.
Trump knows EVERYTHING!! His plan is working.
Sundance,
You point out that we can’t assume Elan would blow $44 billion and not know the level of corruption he was taking on.
I wonder what type of hold harmless agreement Elon required to buy The Twitter. Think about how he is flushing the company into gigantic civil rights cases in conjunction with the DHS.
Look how cavalier he was when asked about shadow banning politicians running for election. Those action likely constitute unreported in-kind contributions. He would probably have a window of opportunity to claw back some of his money to cover the legal action from the prior owners actions.
I feel sure someone will ask Musk about that part of his purchase agreement.
The “smoking gun” will figuratively be at the bottom of an ocean or on a spaceship heading out into the universe by the time the Republicans ever regain the WH again and have a DOJ that can actually act on all these election meddling crimes etc. I hope this is not the case but it seems likely given the past scandals to nowhere.
That’s what it comes down to.
But how is that different from newspapers and legacy media (pre Twitter)?
Its been going on for centuries.
NOW, it’s being exposed.
Similar to Snowden exposing things we knew were happeningl
Much to do about nothing…
This government lied to citizens, removed our speech and nulled our voice by stealing an election.
DO YOU THINK they CARE.
Nope. Nothing will be done cause all of Congress and state legislatures are in on removing our rights.
When the “chips fall where they may” claim is followed by dealing out chips one by one, you know you are opposite the House.
“Breaking: Seconds ago, Twitter Elections & Crisis Response Lead, Patrick Conlon, wiped his LinkedIn detailing his past intelligence work in the US Department of Defense!”
Bad Andy Ngo!!! Bad! Bad! Bad!
Trying to implicate the US Military when all true patriots know everyone who works there, or ever has worked there, would never do anything but serve with great dedication the Republic and its citizens.
We need an Atomic Sarc emoji.
https://ibb.co/y6g4T62
Not bad, if only it would populate.
Well, except for (rank unknown) Patrick Conlon, LTC Vinmann and LTC Schiller and maybe a few more thousands of O5’s and above.
offcoursenation: Musk’s Starlink and SpaceX and its new division, Starshield, are intimately involved with the military. Starlink is used by Ukraine. SpaceX launches military and intelligence satellites. Starshield will provide “secure comminications.” Musk is, for all intents and purposes, the US Government.
So Musk is America’s Mycrof ?
offcourse: What’s Mycrof? (honest question).
Sherlock Holmes brother.
Dr Watson: so your brother works for the British government?
Sherlock Holmes: He is the British government.
offcoursenation: Thanks. Now I get it.
Interesting situation, this whole Musk-Twitter thing. Everything is always such a convoluted mystery. We never get clear-cut resolution to anything.
E.A. Poe put it well…Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
Sundance is correct. One simply does not purchase a publicly traded company, valued at BILLIONS, without gleaning every last crumb of detail.
I’ll call the baby ugly by damn;
Elon Musk is a liar. He was sent to play us like the globalists always do.
A carefully crafted part of the plan for yet another illusion of choice.
Elon has made is clear he strongly supports Ron DeSantis.
Elon is in The Club.
Sundance has allowed we have yet to determine which option defines Musk’s motives.
It is possible he is indeed a Rogue Oligarch as Sundance alludes.
We need more information I would say before we chisel our favored narratives into stone.
Trump is a Rouge Oligarch (Billionaire).
My absolute favorite rogue to be sure!
Dang, I missed an opportunity to riff off a misspelling of rogue!
Trump ain’t no Red!
Agree.
As the information accumulates I have adjusted my initial firm commitment to RDS to a more questioning posture.
2023 is going to be very interesting. If the pundits are correct, the economic state of the country is headed for a precipitous decline mid to late 2023. The global financial system is already gearing up for a fundamental bifurcation. Team WEF is becoming more aggressive and overt in its push for uni-government/centralized control, climate change ideology driven changes in industrial structure (and allied legal, social constructs). The wanna-bes are going to have to outline their vision, their policy positions, their goals/objectives/strategies.
Alleycats: Exactly. The situation could not be otherwise.
Hate to say it, but I’m beginning to think you are correct.
If the info stated in this article, is accurate, Elon’s grandfather, Joshua Haldeman was a leader of a Canadian group called Technocracy, Inc.
It’s interesting to see Mika’s father is mentioned, along with David Rockefeller..
“Founded in 1973 by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski, the Trilateral Commission embarked on a New International Economic Order based on Technocracy. Brzezinski called this the “Technetronic Era” in his 1970 book, Between Two Ages.

That’s what Elon pays his lawyers to do. I doubt he did many deep dives himself
I have been shocked to see how much time he has spent on/re Twitter since he took over. I assume he had a full time job before he bought it
So Victor Davis Hanson authored a piece the other day in which he basically stated PDJT should not run again.
Does this locate him “in the club”?
I was hopeful at first, but realized that I had been fooled again. Musk is not a stupid man. He is another con. I think Elon Musk is simply another fake so people continue to think that someone else is going to come to the rescue. The best way to defeat the opposition is to lead the opposition. Same thing applies here. I will remain hopeful but am very skeptical. Some of his past statements are troubling and he seems to have cucked to the ADL like so many others
You mean kind of like a known Qanon? Keep hope porn alive?
Yes. Another distraction and hopium for the gullible
Local Election Quality Control.
Or we’re dead.
You’re a century too late to try and save voting. Put your efforts of discussion into post election possibilities and ask, what’s next? What do we do now? What’s actually possible?
Meaningful conversation must be found that produces real change. Denying that were somewhere inbetween the second and third box does no one any good.
Nope. Talking ain’t working. Match voter registrations to county property tax.

I wonder how much of the truth to the depravity that is Twitter was deliberately withheld from Musk with the faint hope and belief that his attempts to purchase the company would be thwarted, thus leaving the gremlins at the controls a return path to their evil ways.
A lot.
Agreed.
I truly doubt they ever admitted that they put ground banana peels in the failing four-speed.
Interesting how Big Tech were just awarded this week massive, multi-year DoD contracts. It’s almost as if dark money is now coming into the open out of necessity. Though not among the DoD contract recipients (Google, Amazon Web Services, Oracle and Microsoft) you have to wonder if Twitter will end up with a beefy federal contract one day. [Link below]
DoD ends cloud contracting saga with four awards | Federal News Network
The Boss: Musk’s SpaceX and Starlink are literally putting the “cloud” into outer space. With Twitter, Musk can compete directly with Google and Amazon, Oracle and Microsoft, but, as a provider of space-based cloud service, with satellite connectivity around the globe.
Great point. The military version of Starlink (can’t recall its name) fits quite well with your reply.
The Boss: Yeah, the cloud is already becoming yesterday’s technology. If you don’t have orbiting servers (hardened against solar radiation, of course), you’re just not keeping up with the Joneses. (Some sarcasm, here, but, not for long).
“Interesting how Big Tech were just awarded this week massive, multi-year DoD contracts.”
It’s called “professional courtesy” like between sharks and lawyers.
The enjoyment and condemnation that some nightly Fox News hosts are exhibiting over the election tampering by Twitter seems hypocritical.
Codger Murdoch has reportedly ordered most or all of his on air minions to cease supporting Trump and switch their favorite to DeSantis. As a private company, it is not illegal to direct your reporters, hosts and contributors to take a side that an owner orders you to do. But don’t ride a high horse about Twitter without openly admitting your station has turned on Trump and mocking him at every opportunity while favoring Saint DeSantis.
I believe this is a legal but unethical form of election interference without an honest and open statement about Murdoch’s orders. Admit, that Murdoch has made the POTUS decision for all Fox employees if it is true or publicly deny it to at least be honest.
What if an employee of FoxNews is an un-abashed Trump 2024 supporter and gets fired over it?
I’m a voracious reader on current events 8 hours a day. I thought I was well informed. The article overwhelms and stuns. I’m sitting looking like a deer in the headlights. I did know this was BHO 3rd term and Joe’s a puppet. I’m confident BHO 4 & 5th terms will be facilitated with Michelle winning 2024. Either as presidential candidate or Joe’s running mate.
Sundance is unparalleled at putting ugly babies in the nuclear spotlight.
And if those retched prospects of yours come to fruition it would conclude with someone from either the Bush, Clinton, or Obama dynasties holding court over the White house for nearly half a century, save that brief shining moment when Trump held the reigns. I thought we fought a war to extract us from where rulers from one generation to the next grew fat and apathetic while lording over us.
I don’t know what’s more frustrating or what makes me angrier, the exponentially growing evidence of federal collusion to shut Americans the F up, or the certainty that nothing will beome of it.
From what I have heard/read ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS aren’t reporting it, and that’s where most voters get their news, unfortunately.
The first picture below SD’s summary depicts a feast of Those With Large Foreheads and Stunted Souls…the Oligarchs and Plenipotentiates…and they delude themselves thinking that they are in control. They are not.
…and who spends $44B without even a modicum of due diligence? Musk never knew poverty; his current wealth derived from government (ultimately CCP) underwriting. Musk is no savior, no more than is the GOPe.
The more I open my iris, the more evil the world is revealed to be—or let me rephrase that—the later it actually seems. The truth was always there; it’s just that the analgesic fictions of this world are wearing quite thin. I’d take another drink, telling myself that it’s what I need to get through the night, but that’s the last thing I need.
I’m with Sundance on this gig, something about all of this just aint right, it’s like a fish, stinks from the tail to the head!
My eyes locked on to that weasel phrase…one that was oft used in the UK when I lived there long ago. I’m increasingly hearing or seeing it used in this country.
Public/Private Partnership
…or as I’ve always thought of such an arrangement, Fascism.
I’m sure those involved in such arrangements will say the term is “nuanced” and doesn’t mean that at all.
I didn’t like it when I heard it used across the pond, especially by those in government. It caught my attention every time, and not in a good way.
I positively despise it now.
A two-way outsourcing of tyranny.
I think you’ve “nuanced” that perfectly, Maquis.
Merci, chere soeur!
You have made me smile, Mon cher ami…🤗
All of this “knowledge” and yet half the readers still clamming for the Republican party, more elections and political savors.
Lofty morals and no principles to be found…
What does Mr Grenell have to say, I wonder.
He has a flurry of tweets:
The incredible reality of these last 6 years is the level of paranoia or fear, as SD calls it, exhibited by those who control all 3 branches of govt. The dictatorial cabal not only target big fish like President Trump, their web of thousands of radical organizations must pounce on any regular American groping towards the least little vestige that remains of their right to act according to their value system.
For example, the mother who did not want her child exposed to sexual material in school and who was turned in to the police.
Why does this little, anonymous mother with such an obvious complaint, have to be stamped out and crushed like an insect?
And Musk did not become a billionaire by not knowing what he was investing in.
Matt Taibbi’s recruitment to release the files is a red flag for sure.
These files are at this point a big fat nothingburger.
The power players have already gotten what they wanted from Covid, a stolen 2020 election, now stolen 2022 elections and all future elections and so who cares about Twitter files. The horse left the barn a long time ago. Typical move by the cabal, (is Musk in on it?) To come out after the damage is done when no one will be held accountable.
Yoel Roth, meeting with FBI weekly, and his little censorship minions absolutely degraded Twitter into little more than a full-on Democratic Party activist machine, all while lying to the public about its function. This was a massive public fraud and 2020 election interference:
You have got to see this clip.
This is who was their chief censor :
You can hardly believe it.
Glenn Greenwald is on fire tonight, btw.
That man, if he is one, is a pathetic limp wristed little whiner.
Glenn’s “Locals” is in its infancy but it is very good already. He digs deeply into the issues and has incredible ways to access historically relevant clips like the clip of Roth in your comment.
In the longer video he showed a 2016 Roth tweet:
@yoelroth
“I’m just saying, we fly over these states that voted for a racist tangerine for a reason.”
Nov. 8, 2016
JMO, the bottom line.
Twitter could go away tonight and never come back and America would continue just fine.
America’s priority and what America has to take care of, post haste, is the state / local governments and elections.
The MAGA movement has the numerical, economic, moral, intellect and armed majorities in America and the best leader, President Trump.
MAGAs will clean up the states and let the feds and high tech / so-called intelligence agencies wither on the vine.
Occam’s Razor.
“Let’s go Brandon!”
Your pointing out the Sundance info in this presentation on how the States are the only method to solve the problem by Election Reform at the state level blocking the Feds from taking over election rules. I have not seen this idea before in this repeat transcript of the overall picture by Sundance. We have to recognize that local and State changes using State Federalism granted constitutional powers is the only way of blocking the DC mess. MAGA has power directly on each state we are living in. We just have to use it now.
The censorship suit was jointly filed by Missouri AG Schmitt and Louisiana AG Landry.
Goebbels -It is the absolute right of the State to supervise the formation of public opinion.
No cell service, never on social media of any sort here except internet. I imagine the bad guys have Sundance near the top of their lists. Are the bad guys listening on landlines? Do they know when my next dentist appointment is? Do they care?
They should sue them individually into oblivion.
Tis the season for choosing.
While I admit Branco couldn’t go there, the second frame would more accurately feature us on their roasting sticks.
Musk knew.
Also of interest is what transpired regarding Tesla China today.
I don’t trust him.
Two wings of the same bird…
I dont tweet, nor do I have any notion to join twitter.
It saddens me that conservatives were shut down along with doctors, especially doctors who raised big red flags about the vaxxes, and how many people those vaxxes are maiming and killing….let alone offering alternative meds that were effective against covid that were censored. Those people are now getting their voices back on twitter.
Until I see some very damning evidence against Musk regarding twitter, Ill withhold my judgement.
Bush and Cheney followed by Obama and Holder, making Rockwell’s nightmares come true.
Sundance, what would you do if you had the resources of Elon Musk?
Save the world.
Musk’s Starlink satellite network has monumental military applications that have the CCP in a bind. There are so many satellites in the Starlink network that the CCP could take out 100 with their killer satellites and it would still not blind the US Military. Starlink was developed in close coordination with the DHS and Pentagon.
That, combined with the great work in this article, convinces me that Musk is just controlling the dissemination of information that is now coming out of Twitter, and doing it in coordination with the DHS. I already knew most of the “Twitter Files” because I’m a regular reader here. They just want to put a lid on anything else that we don’t already know, and Musk releasing this information will make most think that there is nothing else more to see at Twitter.
I’d like to hear more about the domestic AND foreign elections that were intentionally rigged by Twitter.
Probably. But it’s not Musk’s.
The nature of the satellite system you describe, used they way you describe it is a highly sophisticated evolution of 50+ years of this nation’s most advanced technologies, intellectual property and deep expertise of hundreds of companies.
It takes advanced rocket motors, space vehicle design/manufacturing, launch complexes, launch control hardware/software, tracking software, satellite design/manufacturing, space vehicle integration, satellite orbit control, global signal acquisition/transmission facilities, terrestrial data/system integration.
It damn sure is not for rural internet and there is no way in he11 Musk could ever have pulled it off. He is a bright well groomed figurehead to distract generations raised on StarTrek from seeing the evil behind it all.
guy is all over the place suggesting he and his new company are currently ripe for suit! jack agrees.
The touted ‘civilian militia’ bigger and better funded than our military: 4th Branch.
…and all the while using the past injustices, and the suffering of black slaves
as though it still existed
whilst destroying this nation and its people.
scum
This is interesting. GP says it’s not ballots but tying voter rolls to county property.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/12/election-fraud-voter-roll-manipulation-not-ballot-gathering/
I just have one question that has been bugging me. The FBI spent a full day raiding Mar-a-Lago. After they finished they claimed President Trump did not give up all the information.
I liken it to the DEA raiding some drug dealer and not finding the marked money.
The FBI did not get what they wanted in their scavenger hunt- is that because the FBI knows what is in their “silo” or something else?
What am I missing?
It’s an evil never-ending fishing expedition that started way back in 2015.
Of course it was a fishing expedition. But exactly how do they know if President Trump didn’t give them everything if they don’t know exactly what they are looking for?
They have been looking for something since President Trump was elected.
& just like Bono, They still have not found what they are looking for.
It’s my understanding that when, say the military sends someone over to brief the President, the classified document they bring with them has a serial number by which they track. If Trump had him hand over the documents, the fact he has them would be recorded in the inventory book, if you will.
In other words, the originating agencies track any copies of classified documents they produce. They know what Trump kept
Thanks. So the question becomes is it declassified by the president or does the silo- keeper make that determination?
Seems pretty straightforward to me.
In the Constitutional – based United States, the ultimate determination belongs to the President exclusively. In the post – Constitutional U.S., determination of classification now belongs to the “Fourth Branch” of the Federal government (DOJ – NSD, DNI, FBI, CIA)
Just as I suspected. I’ve been waiting for someone to write an eighteen page expose to articulate the hidden machinations of the demonic entities who appoint and elect themselves. Who is more naive, the men and women that populate the other three branches of government or the people that think those same individuals are unaware of how the game is played. WAJ
The thing we use right now (internet) was created by R/D funded by government. Of course, there is a backdoor into every computer on the planet. The Utah Data center is their crown jewel. If I did not think it would ruin my computer, I would find it and rip it out.
As far as the Bush family goes, they have been Devil worshipers for God knows how long. CIA Daddy Bush helped along the tyranny from the death of JFK.
Let’s also make note of the timing of the twitter files releases. Friday evening 5PM. A very typical tactic of government agencies making a required release of information and trying to hide it.
Friday evening release, not once, but twice.
I dare say it allows the public to sleuth it while the MarxMerdia and Derp State enjoy their weekends.
A typical Swamp weekend document dump.
I might believe the purchase was done to try to preserve the republic through sunlight and free speech. However I can’t get over that satanic outfit front and center featuring a baphomet and an inverted Christian cross.
The fact that he has companies working on inpanting chips into human brains makes the possibilities even worse maybe even biblical
People forget?
The crazy scary costumes is what Halloween is all about.
I can understand an atheist or a member of a false Christian religion not being concerned but many people are.
As a tech professional in the corp world I can tell you Musk cannot possibly be expected to hit the ground running at 100%. He needed/needs time to ramp up. It’s not easy for experienced leaders in my field to join new areas and understand day 1 all intricacies of each data and programming area much less a new owner, especially of a behemoth like Twitter, can possibly know everything. He would have to rely upon subject matter experts.
Worse Twitter execs hid much.
Given he runs two other incredibly successful companies, I give him a lot of credit for what he (and his team) have achieved thus far. It’s only been about 6 weeks? 5?
He’s been under attack from all sides, it’s ridiculous.
Let’s hope so.
On the other hand, if it is true he is a 2008 Young Global Leader and shares ideas similar to Klaus, this is great cause for concern.
In 2008, Musk was a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader. While Musk is determined to have this information removed from the internet, the fact he was once affiliated with the WEF should come as no surprise. Musk shares many of Klaus Schwab’s nefarious goals, including microchipping children and drilling chips into human brains.

I’ve read that some visited to see what it was about, and others have been “adopted” without ever being involved.
What better way to discredit their enemies than to embrace them?
Exactly. It’s not like he poured over the income and balance sheets, ongoing litigation, etc. He paid a team of subject experts to evaluate Twitter. I must say tho, that he seems far more detail oriented than most oligarchs 🙂
Sundance asks a good question. But whether we’re being played or not, all that’s discussed on this thread we already knew … at least in our gut. It’s just another reason why we aren’t going to fix this country without employing the 2nd Amendment to clear away the communists trying to subvert it and the massive corruption. We are way past fixing it by any other means.
Thank you for your continued light shining on this. The citizens need to know.
SOME people say “So what is the use of all this ‘Sunlight’, nothing CHANGES!”
They are mistaken, IMHO.
The greatest power of our enemy, is NOT any power of the Government, not even “police powers”, Prosecutorial powers or the Military.
Their greatest power, is their power to manipulate public opinion thru deception, SO THAT they can enact Public Policy.
And deception only ‘works’ so long as the decieved are unaware.
If a magician decieves his audience into believing he sawed his assistant in half, and put her back together, they are entertained and they applaud.
If he bumbles the trick, exposing how its done, they boo him off the stage; they are NOT entertained.
If our enemies FAIL to decieve us, and we see how “the trick was done” they fail to manipulate public opinion, and so lose, over time, the power to shape Public Policy.
They were FORCED to put out this information, its certainly not that they WANTED to; its “mitigation” its “damage control”.
They didn’t WANT to blatantly steal the election from PDJT; they were FORCED to.
Likewise, they didn’t want to blatantly steal the election in Az.
What they WANTED was for the State R party to put up splitter MAGA Candidates, to bump out the MAGA Slate, in the primary.
The enemy lost valuable territory when MAGA Forces suceeded in taking control of the State party, and blocking that action, forcing them to use their “fall back” of ballot fraud.
The reason Synema declared she was becoming an (I) is because she ONLY got elected because her potential MAGA opponent, was bumped out in the Primary by a splitter, and she now knows that isn’t going to happen in 2024, and she can’t rely on ballot fraud either, because of the attention and SUNLIGHT shining on Az election officials.
Our enemies are not being blatant, because they WANT to, and they are not ‘allowing’ sunlight, because they WANT to, they are only doing it because they are FORCED to; they have NO choice.
And, every time they do, their ability to manipulate Public Opinion thru deception, in order to implement the Public Policies they want, is diminished.
So, it doesn’t matter what Musks motivations are; our Enemy is being forced to disclose how the trick was performed, and the audience is NOT entertained.
With ALL of their attempts to attack DJT in the campaign, and PDJT in office, the audience they were aiming to decieve, in order to manipulate, was NOT the avid CNN viewer, it was US.
They were trying, and still are, to decieve US, in order to manipulate US into withdrawing our support for PDJT.
And all of their efforts were exposed, and so didn’t work;
DJT was more popular, when he gave his nomination acceptance speech, than his escalator speach.
More popular when he gave his Inaugeral speach, than when he gave his nomination acceptance speach.
More popular when he left the WH, than when he entered, and more popular today than when he left the WH.
Our enemies are NOT winning, they have steadily and consistently lost credibility, lost the ability to decieve and therefore manipulate public opinion.
That McCarthy and McDaniel are being CHALLENGED, is a sign of progress.
That KL & and Co. did NOT face “splitters” in the primary, is a major victory for US.
That the MAGA Movement put up SLATES of Candidates, in a variety of States, is a major victory.
That the next house Republican caucus will be over 50 percent MAGA is a major victory.
These things and more, are a DIRECT result, a downstream consequence of the SUNLIGHT that has occurred since the elevator ride.
“What difference does all this sunlight make?”
PLENTY.
They are losing the ability to decieve and therefore manipulate public opinion, and are going to find it harder to effect Public Policy, and in the end, THATS what its all about.
Epic, Dutch, excellent take.
Epic indeed!!!
I love you, Dutchman!
Dutchman:
You gave me an idea for a new Parker Brother’s game:
SELLOUT!!! The game of deception, payola, kickbacks, influence peddling.
Everyone that’s playing gets to be a noted poltician. Can even have 2 games.
One for the dems, one for the RINOs. Everyone rolls the dice, collects bribes,
winds up on TV to lie about the narrative. The only thing stopping them is
landing on “Pushed too far” . Where they show their true selves and many
figure them out, and drop them like a hot potato.
For the Republicans I’d nominate Paul Ryan, John McCain, The Rooster, The Turtle,
Eye Patch McCain, Eg McMuffin, Lindsey Graham, and Mittens.
Now that I think about it, I think that it should only be the RINOs. Everybody
vaguely conservative already hates the dems.
Make the game real by matching “Pushed it too far” individually.
McCain rising out of his near death bed to pave his way to hell with his last vote,
Ryan choking against an alzheimer’s patient in the debate, Rooster dropping the
ball near the goal line during Benghazi……
Murkowski
I agree that a government – any government – can be brought to its knees when the “people” no longer support the governance structure and leaders. This is one reason, particularly in our American history, that the political/business culture responds quickly and forcefully to undermine populist movements.
Where I depart from your thesis is the notion that some quality of virtue or ethics ultimately girds how the population responds to perceived (or real) government transgressions. My observation has been that at its core, the progressive power structure (leaders and followers) are intellectually and emotionally grounded in “ends justify means” allegiances. It’s not just the structure that has to be changed – it’s the vast machinery that produces the EJM mindset; it’s removing all the acolytes who cannot be redeemed; it may involve an equally single minded, sometimes truculent, approach to the recidivists – which will create its own reactionary dynamics.
It’s gonna take more than the light of truth to move the pendulum arc in the opposite direction. Chris Rock wasn’t just sharing comedic insight into the forces in play when he commented that President OBama will “start doing gangsta ****” in his second (now third) term.
This war is going to require realizing and applying power.
Right !
It’s not the function of our federal government to being doing harm through the use of LIES !
Laws to enable LIES are illegal in our system – even if reviewed by SCOTUS in the affirmative.
Any notion or casual thought otherwise in enabling LIES to be propagated by our federal government is illegal.
Our inherent Rights dictate the hierarchy for which nothing can ever be challenged nor modified from those Rights. And, those Rights are extensively durable. To consider all can be made different or removed by passing law, is unsound, insane, dangerous, and worse still.
There was a red tsumami in November; it was turned into a trickle. That is not winning. Knowing is not winning. Making it harder is not winning. Winning is winning.
If only what you say were true Dutchman. The world has been divided up by crime families similar to the Mafia in the United States in the 30’s and 40’s. A small number of people control and terrorize the rest of the populace. However, the Mafia has now switched to the governments of the world.
They have almost complete control sunlight or not.
Deception or Not
Effect Public Policy? Are you kidding? It no longer matters whether or not the control over the populace is hidden or in our faces. They can and will do whatever they want. And they are doing it. Covid was a giant hoax that enabled them to test their powers and SHUT DOWN THE WORLD!
Climate Change is even more incestuous.
Have a Nice Day, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Impressive and a positive approach for a welcome change.
“The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist”—Charles Baudelaire
Of course!
And this is why I scan the comments for our Dutchman… well put my friend.
As a testament to the devolving quality of public education over the last fifty years, it is apparent that there is little chance that a majority of our citizens will ever know what is going on around them, much less have any wherewithal to reverse the declining prospects for our future.
The Communist baking oven was ignited over 100 years ago and the cake was placed inside more than 50 years ago. The dad gum cake is well done. We cannot unmake the cake at this stage. We will be forced to eat it, too.
Thanks, Dutchman!
However, I remain very skeptical that anything matters anymore:
-repug majority in house, so what, they have demonstrated over and over that they are indeed eunuchs;
-I see no evidence of any leadership, mc carthy, jeez, he is and has been long part of the problem;
-senate is laughable with the intel committee, mc connel cocainel, schumer, et al;
-thnn we have the corrupt, war mongering biden admin, which iled by the rabid neo cons in state the useful idiots in the pentagon which cannot find trillions of missing dollars, continues to fund the building of junk weapon systems, etc
-MAGa POLICIES “may” be the answer but do not believe trump is the answer,nor do I see any solution to ANY of the possible candidates, jeez, pompass, haley, de santos, all beholden to Israel;
Very insightful. Thank you.
