As previously noted, the 118th Congress is expected to authorize a “Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.” The subcommittee will fall under the jurisdiction of the House Judiciary Committee led by Chairman Jim Jordan. Additionally, Thomas Massie (R-KY) is being reported as a representative under consideration for the chairmanship the House subcommittee.
In order to avoid another complete waste of time; and considering the background of the current political dynamic which will surround this subcommittee; and considering my accurate predictions for all other special committees and House investigations; and considering that I have ZERO optimism that this committee will generate anything any different than the prior investigative sub and select-committees that preceded it (Fast and Furious, IRS Targeting, Benghazi, etc.); and with full understanding of the complexity of the daunting challenge such an undertaking would require; I have been asked to outline an actual roadmap for success in this noble endeavor.
So, I will…. Even if I believe it is futile.
Let me also say up front that many readers will not like this approach, and most professionally Republican along with media in/around Washington DC will absolutely hate the ideas as they are presented.
Assuming Jim Jordan and Thomas Massie have some grasp of the scale and scope of the opposition they are about to face; and assuming they have a fully prepared staff to support them – willing to take on the most consequential investigation in our lifetimes; then we begin by first defining who will oppose any effort to investigate the “weaponization of government“. Which is to say everyone!
The entire apparatus of the DC political system will do everything in their power, individually and with collective assistance, to ensure this committee fails. The stakes are basically for all the marbles. DC politics is a system of compartmentalized silos. A collection of weaponized institutions that view their common enemy as the American people not within them.
Specifically, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), and every Republican member therein, including SSCI Vice-Chairman Marco Rubio, will make it their priority mission to block any investigation that touches on how the intelligence apparatus of the United States government is weaponized against the people. The SSCI facilitated the creation of the National Security State, and any effort to investigate the outcome will make the House investigators mortal enemies to the Senate.
Additionally, every executive branch intelligence institution including the DOJ-NSD, FBI, DHS, ODNI, CIA, DIA, NSC and every sub-agency within their authorities will do anything and everything to block a subcommittee looking into their domestic activity. Every national security justification that exists, and some that have yet to be created by the DOJ National Security Division solely for the expressed interest of blocking this subcommittee, will be deployed.
Every member of the subcommittee and their staff will be under constant surveillance. Phones will be tapped and tracked, electronic devices monitored, cars and offices bugged, physical surveillance deployed, and top tier officials at every subsidiary agency of the U.S. government will assign investigative groups and contract agents to monitor the activity of the subcommittee and provide weekly updates on their findings. The White House together with the National Security Council will also backchannel to and from these agencies doing the surveillance.
The intelligence apparatus media will be deployed, and daily leaks from the various agencies to their contact lists in the New York Times, Politico, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC will be in constant two-way communication for narrative assembly and counterpropaganda efforts.
This is the context of opposition to begin thinking about before anything moves forward.
Additionally, the national security state will demand the House investigation take place on their terms. They will demand secrecy, national security classification and require House subcommittee members to adhere to the Intelligence Community terms for review and discussion of anything.
Each agency will not voluntarily assist or participate in the investigation of any of their conduct. Every official within every agency will do the same; and they will require legal representation that will be provided to them by Lawfare political operatives skilled in the use of “National Security” and “classified information” as a justification for non-compliance and non-assistance. A protracted legal battle should be predicted.
Lastly, anticipate Special Counsel Jack Smith using his position to block the House subcommittee from receiving evidence. The House should anticipate that congressional representatives are already under investigation as a result of the authorities granted to Jack Smith by Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco {Go Deep}. The White House and all of the executive branch agencies will use the existing Special Counsel to block House investigation. Heck, that looks to be the primary purpose of the appointment.
As a result, expect the House subcommittee members to be under constant threat from the DOJ, via the Special Counsel, specifically from DAG Lisa Monaco, with statements that House subcommittee investigative efforts are “obstructing” a special counsel investigation. The aforementioned agencies and the Senate intel committee will work with the DOJ to use the Jack Smith special counsel as a shield to block participation with the House subcommittee.
With all of that in mind, what is the successful path forward?
♦ First, the subcommittee needs a communication strategy in place before the rules, terms and member outlines are even contemplated. A communication strategy so that information can come from the committee to the public without the filtration of a corrupt system that will bend and skew the findings as a weapon against the committee itself.
Hire a communication staff and set up a website for the sharing of information directly from the committee to the public. The daily activity of the committee should be shared publicly in granular detail. The witness names as scheduled, documents requested, everything that involves the committee activity should be known to the general public. This system should be updated at least DAILY, or as information is compiled.
This communication network should also contain a separate staff assigned to solicit, accept and distribute information provided by the public to the subcommittee. Yes, you read that correctly, the subcommittee website should be able to accept information provided by the public as it relates to the ongoing committee work. Crowdsource We The People as research leverage against the much more effective Lawfare operations you will face in opposition.
♦ Next, GO PUBLIC with everything. Do not use the terms and conditions of the secretive administrative state. Tell the public what you are finding as you are finding it. You can share information without violating “sources and methods.” Schedule a media appearance at the 8pm hour twice weekly with a high visibility broadcast media network to provide updates and answer questions.
These scheduled appearances should be in addition to random media press releases and press comments as pertinent information to the subcommittee arrives. What this means is that you do not wait to produce a 2,000-page final report before releasing the information. The final report should be an update and summary of all previous findings that have been released to the public along the way.
♦ At the outset, put no rules on media contacts with any subcommittee staff or member. Counter the darkness that fuels the intelligence community agenda with maximum sunlight and transparency. Use truth as a weapon against disinformation. That means no nondisclosure agreements at any part of the process.
Yes, this is radical change in approach, but this is also a radical enemy you are facing. Playing the secrecy game works in their favor, not yours. Transparency is your tool, not theirs – use it.
Every member of the committee can say anything they want about any of the material or witness testimony they hear during the course of the investigation. Public hearing or closed-door sessions, it matters not. The same rule applies. Committee members are completely free to discuss any findings as the information is reviewed.
The goal should NOT BE accountability on those who may have perpetrated or supported weaponized activity against American Citizens. The goal SHOULD BE for maximum public information, transparency and sunlight about the weaponization as it is discovered. This approach makes We The People the accountability portion of the process. As a result, the next section is again rather groundbreaking….
♦ Every witness to the committee should be granted full legal immunity provided by the House and House Speaker for anything said during the testimony or admitted as being done as part of the evidence fact-finding. Again, the goal is transparency and openness, not prosecution and accountability. Use sunlight as a weapon to draw out the truth, then let the American people be the judges of what that truth means when contrasted against the constitution of our nation.
Let me repeat this… There should be ZERO legal liability for any conduct that happened as a part of any witness effort to weaponize the United States government against the American people.
Why this approach? Because (a) it circumvents any issues that might impede testimony, removes hurdles; (b) immunity compels confession, honest sunlight and the urgency of the situation; (c) immunity makes the truth more likely; and finally, (d) you are not going to get legal convictions anyway. The truth has no agenda.
Let’s rip the Band-Aid off and start the process to fix this crap, restore the First and Fourth Amendments and heal the injury.
Remember, from the Church Commission we got the secret FISA court and more tools for violations of our Fourth Amendment rights. From the 911 Commission we got The Patriot Act, DHS, TSA, DNI and many more violations of our rights and Fourth Amendment protections. We do not need any legislation as an outcome of the House “Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.”
We do not need your legislative help. All prior legislative help only ended up making things worse. What we need is a full, uncensored, brutally honest expose’ of how bad things have become and how that system can be dismantled and destroyed. The existing constitution is the protection, just remove the stuff that is violating it.
I know the approach is rather different from the norm. However, if this roadmap seems reasonable, I am certain you will find a great deal of support from within the system that is currently operating and from people outside the system who will volunteer time and effort to assist.
Summarized: (1) Know the scale of opposition. (2) Formulate a communication strategy around it & build a website. (3) Communicate findings by telling the story to the American people as it is discovered. (4) Grant immunity to all witnesses. (5) Don’t wait until the end to generate another useless report that few will read. (6) Make sunlight the motive of the committee. (7) Consider success when the American people can see the problem. (8) Dissolve any weaponized systems. (9) Don’t create new ones.
If you tell us the truth, We The People will fix it ourselves.

OK.
At this point, we just need to burn this all down.
Brilliant work Sundance!!!!!
I want people to hang in public for their crimes but I can also admit that exposing EVERYTHING would circumvent the guard keeping traitors. The guilty would be unable to walk the streets without being shamed forever. Hey, if they choose to off themselves from guilt, I could live with that.
Hahahahaha sure,,,they feel NO shame. NONE of them.
The enemies will lawyer up/ then claim they can’t provide info due to it being classified
The committee and sub committee members will be under constant surveillance and every move will be tracked, every conversation will be tracked.
The sub committee members will also be under constant threat from the DOJ.
The claws of the Democrats will be out once again and their voting base will cheer the corruption.
Exactly. Somebody hurry up and provide SD with a new republic to wax waxy on. This one’s dead, but for the commentators whose diatribes insist on keeping it alive, for rhetorical and pillorying purposes.
Dead letters propping up a dead straw man. It seems everyone is pretending.
“Remember, from the Church Commission we got the secret FISA court and more tools for violations of our Fourth Amendment rights. From the 911 Commission we got The Patriot Act, DHS, TSA, DNI and many more violations of our rights and Fourth Amendment protections.”
Every proposed ‘corrective’ invariably becomes yet another turn of the ratchet. The Beast surrounds, absorbs and expropriates.
We The People need to totally de-fund the Swamp / Deep State.
There needs to be oversight.
No bullsh_ _.
The J6 hit squad committee releases the ss# of conservatives, incarcerates conservatives with no due process, etc.
This “I get to hide all my stuff.” —BUT— “I totally get to reveal all your stuff.” — crap has to stop.
Did you see the airing of the ‘J6 insurrection” that has been running on CNN??
A carefully crafted collection of clips that are completely slanted–no surprise there–
There’s an audio of a phone call of a woman, hysterical because there are “3 men carrying AK 47’s!!”
It struck me that no doubt that woman was paid to make that phone call and when were those 3 men ever seen again? It was all a lie. The Left with their Hoaxes, aka LIes has shredded this country. And the base cheers them.
This makes sense to me and is a good outline to follow. Unfortunately we are talking about the Stooopid Party here.
Start with exposing the names of the players at Jack’s coffee shop. If there will be no ‘doing time for doing the crime’, at the very least permanently revoke their security clearance (no clearance = no government trough). Oh, and work to disbar any of the lawyers involved.
How about freeing the J6 hostages and investigating the denial of their Constitutional rights? That is a major weaponization.
I just can not understand why the Rep party has not broken into that prison and taken out those prisoners. This is AMERICA…we take out violent men with drones and it is done fast. This is horrible that those people have been in prison for nothing and no trial, NOTHING. GET THEM OUT.
Much of the Republican party wants J6 prisoners in jail. Its a uniparty. That is why.
Indeed. They want to keep the J6 prisoners in the forefront to remind we the people not to go to Washington again.
Pure sunlight. We don’t want or need a subcommittee that will try to buy the people, forget the people, and shove the people. How sublime it is when good men present a plan that protects our Country and our Constitution!
Set it up AWAY from DC. Include people on the committee that are NOT members of Congress, but which do have the gravitas and stones to do the job.
I love this idea! Away from the swamp. Outstanding!!
Are you ready for the take back? Trump, McConnell, McCarthy and McDaniel along with the 201 can kiss my petunia.
First rule- stop using electronic means of communications because the committee members are going to be monitored and spied upon by the very same characters they are trying to oversee.
Great idea. Manual typewriters only, isolated from the power system. It will screw their surveillance over, and it will have to rely on HUMINT sources in the subcmte. Don’t forget the counter-surveillance against the IC actions, which will also constitute criminal interference with Congress’s work. If their operatives get caught even once, it is on Watergate-burglary level in drama.
You can F these chumps ten ways to Sunday if you do it right. This unlawful surveillance of the subcommitee is nothing like what is conducted daily in DC, which has lawful authorization. A single instance of it by the IC constitutes criminal action. And bust the low-level ones and you’ll work your way up the the top.
Agreed. Better yet: Handwritten coms, sealed and delivered by two couriers.
The perfect outline for long term success. The fruits of this effort will most likely not be evident directly.
pray for their success and safety.
#1 Nov 4, 2020 – Lying Eyes/Ears – Machines Monsters running them, illegal state vote laws enacted. 45 just walks away???? I for 1 am sick of being shown

But just wait, it’s gonna get better…
The Church Committee in 1976 exposed all manner of wrongdoing by the CIA et al.
What came of it? Nothing. “National Security”, you know.
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1604913025651298305.html
Why would a “Church Committee 2.0” would have a different outcome?
This is all theater.
Have to wonder if McCarthy & Co. agreed to this because they can predict the outcome — past performance predicts future.
Ummm do we really think these bozos will accomplish anything? They will be outsmarted and out maneuvered every step of the way.
By design. Theater. Good cop, bad cop.
The lobbyist won and the beating of you and I will continue.
Somehow we need to come up with a sting of our own.
Anyone else hear a bit of “old school” print and snail mail to Massie’s Ky office? I tend to still think the old snail mail suggests a resolve of purpose that a text lacks. If so I invite you: Thomas Massie, 110 Jefferson Street, Suite 100, LaGrange, KY 40031 Ph: (502) 265-9119.
I listened to his interview with Tucker up until I heard the word SCIF. At that point I turned it off because when he said “much of he work” will be done in the “SCIF” I knew this is just more Kabuki theater and his hold out for McCarthy because he brokered this deal is just more of the same old, same old. Unless he follows this roadmap NOTHING will result except some cute sound bites for him to use in media for his next election, which of course is always the point.
Perhaps Sundance should have a sit-down with Messrs Jordan and Massie.
…at Mar A Lago?
A friend told me once: “I lie to my wife even if the truth is to my benefit.”
The people you are investigating cannot tell the truth. It’s their policy.
It is their way of life!
Jordan and Massie – a great combination – like nitro + glycerine! May they blow the lid off the tank of corruption and tyranny in our government!
We the People may in the end have to deliver the Ceaușescu solution. Good luck to us all. The deep state and every member of its many tentacles are not suicidal. The enemies of the people are heavily invested in their power and the corruption that that power allows. The ridicule of the high and mighty should start right away. Where can I get a Biden hood ornament because that man is the hood ornament on one of the crazy cars being driven recklessly through our neighborhoods. Bobbleheads or ”action figures” of the key players dressed as village idiots or court jesters might be a hot seller too. The Little Marco bobblehead in a tutu with applied lipstick that misses the mouth is an option. Biden sniffing hair might appeal to some. Think of the sales proceeds as a fundraiser. Unleash your imagination.
“We the People may in the end have to deliver the Ceaușescu solution.” agree
Use the moribund Militia clauses in Art. I to create the alternative security service needed for enforcement. Use just House Rules to create the new Art. III special court that will handle the cases brought by this brilliant subcommittee. Congress has the power to do both.
Each interference as you mentioned should be an actionable offense enforced by the new security regiments, and brought before the special courts. The security regiments will have nationwide jurisdiction, and supersede any Art. II department, such as the DOJ. Write it in the legislation or rule, and it will have as much force of law as anything inappropriately wielded by the Swamp.
And zero out their budgets, too.
This is going to be an interesting ride. Congress can do this, but the House needs to think outside the box.
Congress is both the House and Senate. The Senate just sent us and the country 1,000 miles down into the abyss.
McCarthy’s Concessions – Doug Ross:
https://directorblue.blogspot.com/2023/01/speaker-mccarthys-concessions.html#more
Go Get’em Gaetz!
How do you give immunity to people who planned and conspired to harm and kill millions?
Sundance – who asked you to provide the outline?
What if they simply cut their budgets in half to start? Just to set the tone.
Sundance this is brilliant. Thank you. I’m going to mass in an hour to pray that there’s an honest account that comes out of this. Asking others to pray too. Prayer really works.
And of course the new 118th Congress will do no such things.
GOP gets all the blame for everything that is wrong with the current situation, and Democrats will absolutely make sure there won’t be any undesirable outcome in any of the future elections.
Perhaps Witnesses should be immune, for the best outcome of the hearings, however I believe there should be a rule that anyone continuing to use the offices of the government against the American people will be fired.
I like this plan a lot. Yay, Sundance.
As much as I’d really like to see people prosecuted, I have to agree with your outline as a path to “the truth.”
You’re right, there would be no prosecution in DC, and it would be a fool’s errand to try to achieve it.
There Is No Oversight: The NSA Withheld Documents From Intelligence Committee Heads
Mar 28th 2014
https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20140327/08140826708/there-is-no-oversight-nsa-withheld-documents-intelligence-committee-heads.shtml
There has never been effective oversight of the NSA’s bulk collections programs, or indeed, intelligence agencies in general. There’s been a lot of noise made about this vaunted oversight in defense of programs revealed by leaked documents, but this is nothing more than a talking point.
At The Big Picture, a clip of Sen. John D. Rockefeller (then Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence) discussing how oversight actually works has been posted. It’s from an interview given in 2007, about the time the FISA Amendments Act was being put together to replace the expiring Protect America Act. The amendments act, among other things, extended the length of warrantless surveillance and gave telecoms retroactive immunity for their participation in the NSA’s bulk collections.
Here’s Sen. John D. Rockefeller explaining why, even back in 2007, intelligence agency oversight was a joke.
DAVIS: Reports quote administration officials as saying this is going on and it’s being done in a way to avoid oversight of the Intelligence Committee. Is there any way—
ROCKEFELLER: They’ll go to any lengths to do that, as we’ve seen in the last two days [during hearings on FISA].
DAVIS: Is there anything you could do in your position as Chairman of the Intelligence Committee to find answers about this, if it is in fact going on?
ROCKEFELLER: Don’t you understand the way Intelligence works? Do you think that because I’m Chairman of the Intelligence Committee that I just say I want it, and they give it to me? They control it. All of it. ALL of it. ALL THE TIME. I only get – and my committee only gets – what they WANT to give me.
Audio clip:

I’m sure they must be dusting off their blackmail files, but probably won’t actually need them.
Schumer: Intelligence Agencies ‘Have Six Ways From Sunday Of Getting Back At You’
SEPTEMBER 27, 2019
https://thefederalist.com/2019/09/27/schumer-intelligence-agencies-have-six-ways-from-sunday-of-getting-back-at-you/
“Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Schumer told MSNBC’s host Rachel Maddow.
Needs to be totally dissolved and defended. Never stops anything anyway!
DeFUNDED and dissolved
Congress will have no role or opportunity to put Humpty Dumpty back together when everything financial comes crashing down around us.
There will no need for “influencers” or “pundits” or “lobbyists” when money is finally worthless as is becoming inevitable.
The Deep State answer to immunity is Arkancide. The primary concern of people who might testify is not prison but being murdered.
Ban Schiff, Swalwell, etc., from ANY investigative committee.
And Ban the fraud Squad
I confess that for all the studied word mangling the one that chafes the most is over the hijacking of “Progressive.” The reason being that all the ideological baggage now attached to that word blocks the essential concept of Progress. Rather than tilt at that windmill, I revert to “Moving the ball forward.”
As in, moving the ball forward in saving, or restoring, or renewing, or even just improving, our constitutional republic. Saving . . . restoring . . . renewing . . . or just improving — nothing good comes from arguing those contours, we’re all on the same team progress-wise except to the extent we are divided and conquered.
Maybe it seems like thin gruel at times like this but it hasn’t gone according to plan for the witting and unwitting enemies of our constitutional republic. If you find yourself lapsing into hopelessness, remember that. I mean, how could the mass awakening that has occurred since Trump came down the escalator have been their plan.
You really can’t make it up. Could you have waltzed yourself into a crisis of legitimacy, institutional and individual alike, in a matter of little more than a half-decade if you were trying to do so? That’s what the ruling and governing classes have done. That discrediting process has reached critical mass. There are innumerable glaringly obvious examples but only one will suffice — the bloom is off the ruse of Obama. He’s as small as Bush.
Though the best evidence is their being forced to have a coming out party for the 4th branch of government. It’s essential progress that they’ve been forced to go public, via the illegitimate Biden regime, headlined by a “Yeltsin”no less, in “taking the gloves off” against the American people.
I wholly agree with Sundance on setting our sights on sunlight not dreams of accountability through legal process and punishment. A better way to put it is that I defer to his informed judgement on procedure and specifics.
Nothing is free in this world. Their arrogant refusal to toss anyone out of the boat, from Hillary down to Clinesmith, has been costly in the extreme.
Hey, look on the bright side, it took Christians a couple hundred years to defeat the Roman Empire, and I’ll put money the American Project is put right in less time than that!
But, are we on God’s side? THAT’S the question.
All a giant waste of time and money without a doj that does its job
The Art of The Deal!
That’s because McCarthy, according to Gaetz, is the premier GOPe fund raiser and the 2024 prez election is coming.
BTW, all of supposed concessions I listed yesterday are a joke except for the supposed requirement for single subject bills with 72 hours to read each. The window dressing commission was in that supposed list.
I fully agree with this strategy. It is clean, transparent, and goes after the true issue (the weaponization of our government against us).
However, this feels like a gun buyback program. These methods and people will not going to go gently in that good night.
Start by releasing the full unedited 14,000 hours of surveillance footage from in and around the capital on January 6. Raw, no select committees! Let the people break it down and reveal the true story of what happened. That could be done in less than a month. This would set the stage for the rest of the investigations. The outrage that would come from revealing the extent of the ops that were run that day would galvanize public opinion behind tearing down these corrupt institutions.
This is the way!
Sundance nails it, share this with all of your amigos
Another Howdy Gowdy Show with different names.
The Washington Snake continues to wrap around the People more tightly.
My conclusion is not positive. But, Sundance’s steps are good ones. Probably the only good ones.
Have nothing to do with fruitless deeds of darkness, rather expose them – Ephesians 5:11.
Exposure is sunlight.
Sorry Sundance. Your well thought out and useful roadmap can not be followed because it does not involve the blood sacrifice of Donald Trump. Therefore it offers nothing useful to the junta and will be promptly discarded.
It requires the People to step out of their comfort zone. It separates wheat from chaff. It will require more blood than Trump has in his veins. If we don’t step out of our comfort zones, it will take all of our blood, our souls, and the souls of our children.
If MAGA can’t endure without Trump, it has lost already. A Great America will endure only with a faith in God.
“If you tell us the truth, We The People will fix it ourselves.”
“If MAGA can’t endure without Trump, it has lost already.”
^^^^THIS^^^^
Love me some Sundance!!! we should put you in charge.
The Deep State / Swamp needs to be de-funded. Taking away the cookie jar, is the only way to defeat them. A Convention of States is needed to repeal the Federal Income Tax, and have the States assume the Federal Debt and retire it.
Sundance has done a great job of informing us of the problem and the way forward to solving that problem. Immunity kind of worries me, but I trust Sundance. Same as I trust Trump. As long as Trump is able he should be our next President. DeSantis and his ilk may do good things, but they are supported by people that won’t do good things.
Thank you , Sundance
Brilliant!
I especially like the immunity concept and biweekly media reports!
Right on que it seems after McCarthy is Speaker, Mitch McConnell comes out from the shadows and like the arsonist in the crowd watching firemen try to put out all the fires he set, says ‘Good job boys, I’m here to help’.
“What we need is a full, uncensored, brutally honest expose’ of how bad things have become…”
Hoka!
Just read HERE over the past six years.
Interestingly and fully justifiably, it has gone from some optimism to the correct attitude now shown in this column. Everything is FUBAR.
Want to have a chance to actually fix things? Take a time machine back some large number of decades and listen to people who were warning about the Uniparty even back then.
People knew what was coming for decades, they were killed. Now, this group doesn’t see a way they can be touched so all is open to see.
It will progress if it is not opposed, I don’t see any meaningful opposition as of now. “Committees, and hearings” are show, no more. Jordan is a toothless individual who likes to grandstand, maybe he thinks that is progress. Personally, I think they are all filth disgusting individuals who bare no resemblance to humanity. And…..I don’t even know if they know what they are or have become?
political wrangling is an appropriate opposition response when the republic is functioning.
Does anyone here think the republic is still functioning?
Mord Bord: No, the republic is not functioning, and giving congresscritters another opportunity to conduct an “investigation” is exactly what the congresscritters want.
Now, Congress can waste another two years (until the 2024 elections) bloviating and grandstanding, and the media–both the MSM and the alternative media–will have lots of juicy new content to entertain the sheeple. It’s all a charade.
The Twitter Files were a gift from Elon Musk to Congress and Congress is grateful.
“beyond all repair”
NO..
We can’t repair everything.
We can repair a lot.
We need more red states.
California is not Florida.
Red states are not Blue states.
I’m a Republican and I’m not unified with democrats.
the fascists next stop of corrupting the vote: TX and FL. and it won’t be nearly as hard as people think, especially given we do virtually nothing about it when we see it happen.
you can bet your hat on it.
I live in Utah which is considered a very red state, it was one of the main reasons for moving here from CA a few years ago. But about 90% of our state legislators are RINOs. Only two of our state’s R federal representatives are worth a damn. It’s similar to AZ in that respect. This red vs blue state paradigm is obsolete. The Uniparty is king here and no amount of pretending will change that.
Soozword: I agree with your comment. The Red vs. Blue paradigm is obsolete and perpetuates the illusion of choice. There is no choice. A vote for Democrats or a vote for Repubicans is a vote for the Uniparty.
What’s more, a vote for the Uniparty is itself an illusion, because the real controllers are global in nature. America’s national interests have been thoroughly subverted.
It’d have to be just before President Kennedy said he was getting rid of the ‘alphabet’ intelligence holes. Or maybe at the beginning of President Reagan’s term. If only we could borrow that tardis from Dr. Who…
Thank you, Sundance.
I do not know who to send this to that would help, but I will try. You certainly have more credibility than I do, but I am in 100% agreement with you. Not speaking for all of “we the people” but I firmly believe that all we want is to know the truth, and we can deal with it.
I am so tired of “them” hiding everything and creating a bigger mess. It’s frustrating to have to sift everything and compare what one is saying from the other to try and discern what is real.
I also agree with full immunity. No one is going to prison anyway, no one from past misdeeds will be held accountable anyway, so lets just get it all out.
The TRUTH will set you free!
immunity is a really good carrot to dangle.
So is the threat of total de-funding.
Ideally they would deny the agencies all funding, and then command them to defend themselves to try to get any back. End this travesty and grant the opportunity to make the case they should exist. That might bring out any good guys.
Start with the surveillance. Expose it. Ask them why they surveilled Sharyl Atkisson for example. Don’t want to answer? Fired-no pension. Move on to the next functionary.
IMO, immunity of testimony can be made more powerful if one refuses to give testimony, they become accountable and liable for crimes.
Instead of proving people guilty in a court of law, thugs posing as lawmen much prefer to coerce “confessions.”
We don’t need to elicit false “confessions” under duress, ala Admiral Mike Rogers. If there’s a case to be proven, then by all means, go ahead and *prove* it!
Remember we are dealing with Lawfare in the USA, not to be confused in any way with justice. Let’s stick with innocent until *proven* guilty, and let the punishment fit the crime.
The immunity idea is a good one. Hadn’t thought of that.
No one may ever do time, but I would recommend staying out of the woods during deer season.
Well said.
