Communication, discussion and step-by-step outlining is a very time-consuming enterprise. If you are wondering about the light CTH posting recently, refer to the prior sentence. I cannot say much; except to say no one is more cynical than I, and yet there is reason to be cautiously optimistic.
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.
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan and potential House subcommittee Chair Thomas Massie should have a grasp of the scale and scope of the opposition they are about to face. Assuming they have a fully prepared staff to support them – willing to take on a very consequential investigation; then we begin by first anticipating who will oppose their effort to investigate the “weaponization of government“. Which is to say everyone!
The defensive apparatus of the DC political system will likely do everything in their power, individually and with collective assistance, to ensure this committee fails. The stakes are quite high. As readers here can well attest, DC politics is an institutional system of purposefully created compartmentalized silos.
The compartmented information silos permit plausible deniability, and this collection of weaponized institutions contains career bureaucrats who view their opposition as the American people.
Example – The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), and every Republican member therein, including SSCI Vice-Chairman Marco Rubio, will make it their willfully blind priority to obstruct any investigation that touches on how the intelligence apparatus of the United States government is weaponized against the people.
The SSCI is the institution that facilitated the creation of the National Security State. Any effort to investigate the outcome of that system will make the House investigators adversarial to their colleagues in the Senate.
Additionally, every executive branch intelligence institution including the DOJ-NSD, FBI, DHS, ODNI, CIA, DoD, DIA, NSC and every sub-agency within their authorities will do anything and everything to block a subcommittee looking into their domestic activity.
A lot of bad decisions have led to really bad things. DC does not want those bad things discussed.
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, everything has to be done in sunlight and maximum transparency, even the planning and organization of the committee construct, purpose and goals.
The committee can have no shadow operations, unknown guiding hands or secrets that can be discovered and then weaponized against the intent. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
I know DC has little concept of working like this, but you can train yourself to do it. You have nothing to hide; however, those who are being investigated have everything to hide. Do not provide them ammunition by retaining secrets that can be weaponized against you.
As Andrew Breitbart said, be open with your secrets.
Your second cousin Alice will be a source for the New York Times to write about the Thanksgiving dinner three years ago when she heard the “N” word or a tasteless joke about something outrageous. Every member of the committee and staff need to prepare for a dossier completed by the FBI about them and distributed to the government allies in mainstream media.
Security clearances will be leveraged and threatened as a tool of the national security state to stop the secrecy envelope from being opened publicly. This will happen; so just anticipate it. When the security clearance of [insert_name_here] is threatened, go to the microphones and tell the public who is doing the threatening, and why.
♦GOALS – The goal needs to be crystal clear to anyone and everyone who would contemplate assisting. Yes, there needs to be a legislative intent in order to legally formulate the committee; that’s a no-brainer. However, the ultimate goal should NOT BE accountability on those who may have perpetrated or supported weaponized activity against American Citizens. The ultimate goal SHOULD BE for maximum public information, transparency and sunlight about the weaponization as it is discovered.
Let us assume the goal is accepted, before moving forward, the subcommittee needs a professional communication strategy in place before the rules, terms and member outlines are structured or made public.
A thoughtful 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.
♦COMMUNICATION PORTAL – 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. This means a portal where the ‘open source’ information can be delivered by researchers, many of those on the spectrum, who hold deep knowledge of the information and system processes in the silos.
In the past several years, thousands of documents have been retrieved by FOIA and public records investigations. Hundreds of experts in the granular details of the DHS, FBI, DoD and DOJ-NSD systems have knowledge that can benefit the committee; you just need a way for them to transmit the evidence/information to you.
That ‘open source’ evidence should flow into the committee portal with address sourcing that allows the committee staff to review and locate it independently. This avoids the predictable counterargument, from the national security state, that Russia (or foreign actors) is feeding disinformation into the committee.
The documentary evidence will mostly be “open source,” extracted and then cross-referenced from within the multiple silo system the national security state uses as a shield. And the origination of the documents will be traceable and easy to duplicate, thereby providing secure provenance. The internal staff manager for this inbound portal is critical (think former HPSCI Nunes staff).
Documents found by the committee should then be uploaded to the same communication system (website), permitting the public -especially the autists- to review and then cross reference the committee material; ultimately channeling information back into the committee if important dots connect or puzzle pieces clarify. Think of this as a massive counter lawfare operation with hundreds of Deep State subject matter experts assisting the committee.
Witness transcripts should be uploaded within 36 hours of testimony. Then let the public do the research, background review and dot connecting from the testimony. If you build it, they will come.
♦ 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.
Use truth as a weapon.
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. The immunity should cover everything *except* perjury from the witness to the committee itself. If the witness lies the immunity evaporates.
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.
Another reason for the immunity is because the operation of the subcommittee should be heavily focused on witness testimony, not documents. The documents can come as part of the follow-up to the witness testimony, but it is the witness testimony needed; the publication of the transcripts then provides the public sunlight. This is key.
90% of the committee work should be focused on witnesses and questions therein. Only 10% of the committee work should be seeking documents. Avoiding the documents shortens the time needed for investigative disclosures and avoids protracted legal battles therein. If the people on the committee, those who are asking the questions, do not already know the details behind the questions and the locations of the supportive documents, then you have the wrong people on the committee.
Every response to a questioned witness should come with the following question: “how do you know this?” That is how you will discover the nature of the documents, communications, emails etc that support the fact-finding mission. “How do you know this” also leads to more witnesses. Work the issue from the bottom up. How do you know this; who told you this; why did you do this; what authority guided you; who authorized this approach? etc. etc. etc.
Use fully immunized witnesses to tell the story, then go look for the documents to corroborate the witness statements using the ‘under oath’ transcript as part of the impenetrable subpoena itself; but don’t wait, keep questioning witnesses.
♦DOCUMENTS – Once you identify the location of documents that would assist the sunlight objective, don’t only rely on the government side of the conversation as the targeted source for retrieval. If the document contains communication to external parties, ie public-private partnership, then move to gain the documents from the private side, thereby avoiding the roadblocks inside government.
Regardless of the status of the document search, and regardless of whether legal battles will be needed to retrieve those documents, keep moving forward with the witness testimony. Do not stop committee work just because internal silo opposition is being fought. Keep working the plan and bringing immunized witnesses, both inside government and outside government, forward for questioning. Leaders within organizations and agencies are important, but clerks, staff, and administrative aides in/around those same leaders could also provide important information.
This subcommittee approach, along with the people needed, will obviously take more time to assemble. However, once put together everything thereafter moves at a very rapid pace, which is also part of the strategy. Flood the information zone with maximum sunlight and keep the opposition off balance.
The goal is sunlight. Rip the Band-Aid off, call the baby ugly and start the process to fix this crap by exposing it. Restore the First and Fourth Amendments and heal the injury.
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. The existing constitution is the protection, just remove the stuff that is violating it.
I know this approach is rather different from the norm. However, if this roadmap seems reasonable, I am certain you will find support from within the silo system that is currently operating, and from people outside the government 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.
Here’s an interview with Colleen Rowley, an FBIe whistleblower who was ignored when she warned her supervisors about the strange men that were reported by a flight school in Florida BEFORE 911.
She then went to Chuck Grassley personally, who also ignored her warning.
She talks about there being no place safe remaining for whistleblowers to blow the whistle because of the total corruption of the entire intel community.
Good interview.
https://www.rt.com/shows/whistleblowers/569810-fbi-coleen-rowley-whistleblower/
Correction.
The flight school reporting the strange men to the FBIe happened before 911.
Everything else took place after 911.
Sorry
This diversionary political theater is as pointless as it has always been in effecting actual change.
A critical mass of people will only get involved in forcing actual change when it is pointed out to them that they and their children have been physically harmed by a virus that should have never existed in the first place which can, to this day, even in the new variants, cause serious physical harm even in mild cases which is not immediately apparent.
As a second harm from a virus that should have never existed are the fraudulently tested injections.
With both the infections and the injections, the damage is very likely to be cumulative and the virus is now endemic.
“Diversionary”. “Pointless”.
Casting ” diversionary” despair summoning word spells?
If doing so unintentionally, perhaps read “The Power of Positive Thinking”. Or dont.
However, studying how to communicate with fewer despair summoning words can increase the positive impact of what’s said.
Or you could just be quiet.
Just now, MSNBC reports social media could harbor/foster certain extremists. (Set up for this theme: Government did the right thing in censoring evil speech)
But, the Jan 6 committee felt Trump was the perpetrator for the violence at the Capitol. So, committee didn’t look into social media very much.
The deep state has destroyed, deflected, delayed, deligitimized every effort to expose and stop it’s creeping advance.
Trump was a temporary obstacle that only enraged and emboldened them. And confirmed their power.
The Twitter files, Biden crime scenes, Vaxx revelations and more haven’t even had any impact with the MSM or the public at large.
I can’t imagine anything moving the needle from this committee or any other.
On the positive side:
There is plenty of good news, if you look around you.
In my experience, strokes have always affected the over 65 population, and, at times, younger. Nothing sensational here.
How is it for you living under a rock?
“Trump was a temporary obstacle”.
Fortunately he still is. Hopefully he will continue to be for many more years.
In this life, we are ALL “temporary ” since our life here is “temporary”.
However, God has already won. What this life determines is whether we accept or reject our invitation to His eternal victory celebration.
What we choose to do and not do creates who we are and reveals out true answer.
Like Trump, I am choosing to be ” a temporary obstacle”.
“I can’t imagine”.
Thank God, imaginations CAN improve. Bigly.
Hooray!!!!
Dear God, please watch over and bless the efforts of the stalwarts who must expose this corruption, greed, totalitarian government overreach, and criminal conspiracy against the American people. Amen
ZERO OUT SMITHS BUDGET AND CLOSE HIM DOWN IS HOW YOU HANDLE THIS SITUATION WITH A JACKASS LIKE THIS!!!
Prepare yourselves for another Emmit Sullivan Show.
I think the biggest thing SD has said here is that we should not expect prosecutions.
Only sunlight.
Thats not gonna be like eating a snickers bar; NOT satisfying.
But it’s steps forward in providing a scale and scope by which the public may judge.
If that’s all we can get, we need to take it and swallow our bloodlust for justice a bit.
Baby steps when dealing with the Deep state.
Am I the only one surprised that Bill Mitchell is now a De Santis supporter? I followed him because I thought he was a Trump supporter, (26th most influential Trump supporter, he said), now I find out he is a deSimp???? Seems like the majority of the influencers have moved to de Santis. How much influence do they have? I am getting worried. This primary will be crazy.
Replay how candidate Trump was treated and so were we. A man who speaks plain truth doesn’t need to worry about who thinks he’s cool.
Nothing has changed. Don’t give shoving their lies back down their throats with both boots a second thought
Don’t worry about the results.
Its the process that matters, over time.
This is a long struggle.
If not for PDJT, we’d still be back at the Romney/Obammy inflection point.
Lareine, just keep doing what your doing, sans the worry.
There is so little that the individual controls.
Vote the Rinos out in the primaries, and go hard right in the generals.
The regulatory state has a bunch of poison-pills they can throw at these GOP trouble-makers to stifle anything they might do here.
Does anyone really believe COVID and the summer 2020 riots were some organic chain of events? I certainly don’t. Our federal government was up to its ears in making all of it happen. They have more tricks under their skirt than a Detroit street whore, all paid for by us.
I wouldn’t expect much in the end but a bunch of grandstanding and sound bites.
Giving immunity to witnesses to the committee will not prevent them from being threatened into silence.
Well, no duh.Brian.
But what else do you suggest?
There are rules to this, and than there are “rules”, as you note.
SD is laying out a process, that takes time.
And SD’s process is a long game.
Have you the patience?
But SD’s strategy keeps things moving along at a brisk pace… And that’s new for these Elias types who frustrate discovery by throwing sand in the gears to slow things down.
I agree with Brian. Focus might better be on addressing (Defining and correcting) “corruption” in law enforcement and courts so that criminals get taken down by their very criminality. I have a heck ton more skepticism than SD. But it’s good to get people’s attention on the 4th branch.
The key IS NOT calling and immunizing Senior GS operatives 15 and above.. Call in their support staff.. Get the GS 10-14s to spill THEIR GUTS.. They don’t have the practice of knowing how to obfuscate, delay, and dissemble under the lights..
The lower tier GS group would probably love to spill their guts out of pure disgust at what they have had to witness. These people are probably frustrated and have had no where to turn out of fear of retribution. Many have worked their entire careers in government and do depend on their pensions to survive in later life.
Bravo Sundance! I pray Jim Jordan is a treeper and reading this!
He is.
50% plus of our nation will never hear about these committees…
More than 50%.
Then it’s up to us to create a communication network with strategic core people who have networks, phone banks, etc, that can spread the word wide and far..
Can we subscribe here for no ads! I would gladly PAY for an annual subscription!
I don’t see the ads, but I use the Brave browser. Highly recommend it. Blocks lots of ads, trackers, etc, and it’s relatively customizable. I also use Brave “search”, although I also like Freespoke.
“Every witness to the committee should be granted full legal immunity”. This would be a terrible mistake. The Lawfare mob used every trick of extortion, threats, manipulation, and leverage to get what they wanted. We should have the same tools available to us. Use the consequence of inherent contempt, if need be. After what Nancy Pelosi did for 5 years, everything should be on the table for the Republicans. Pelosi took away the boundaries.
Siloing is not just for the protection of elites. It’s also used to prevent good people, lower on the totem pole, from knowing what they are aiding and abetting.
Do you really want to penalize them?
You want to extort, threaten, and manipulate to gain your goals?
OK.
Thats an option.
But we will never be better than the commie libtards that way.
And don’t expect a better outcome using tools outside the Constituion.
Give it up guys. There is no one in the House that can save us. The minute Garland put the special counsel in place to investigate Biden the whole show came to a stop. Everything the Hose investigates will no longer hear any comments except “I can’t answer that as we have an ACTIVE INVESTIGATION” on going. It is a stalemate. Remember Durham.
NO. We do not give up. No matter how difficult the fight, we keep on fighting for liberty, freedom, and justice. We may lose some battles , as did G. Washington, but we do not give up. Hence, we will win the war.
Great idea giving each witness immunity. The goal of the committee should be to inform We the People on how deep and corrupt our government is and not get bogged down in legal battles and subpoenas that the Deep State will use to run out the clock.
Unfortunately, Jim Jordan hasn’t gotten your memo. He’s falling into the same futile GOP tactic of writing letters to Merrick Garland asking for incriminating documents.
(https://townhall.com/tipsheet/rebeccadowns/2023/01/17/jim-jordan-putting-biden-administration-on-notice-fo-refusing-to-comply-with-documents-requests-n2618394)
Ain’t gonna happen Jim. Wake up!
No one should get immunity until they give sworn testimony and demonstrate they have information which can be used against higher ups. Without sworn testimony and/or affidavits, it could really blow up in someone’s face.
It’s like the old adage, “never ask questions you don’t already know the answers to.” Granting immunity prematurely can leave some inquisitors dangling like old toilet paper in a leafless tree. Not a pretty sight.
Expect an onslaught of very…very…extra…extra strong letters and have plenty of popcorn on hand to witness this mountain of letters snuff out every last remnant of DC corruption.
Sounds Great. Never going to happen.
Committees gonna Committee as usual
Sundance, does Congress (or any committee thereof) have legal authority to grant immunity? If so, what is that authority?
For The Sake Of The Republic, The Church-Style Weaponization Committee Must Answer These Questions
https://thefederalist.com/2023/01/17/for-the-sake-of-the-republic-the-church-style-weaponization-committee-must-answer-these-questions/
With regard to the concept of immunity in exchange for sunlight, that is not really a hard choice to make. The sunlight is essential, without it the options are energetic or slavery.
With regard to the vermin never being held accountable, hah! These are lifelong scum, they will not change. Give them immunity now, get what’s needed from them, then hold them liable for all the crimes they continue to commit. Count on them not changing because they won’t.
BREAKING: FBI Director Christopher Wray’s chief of staff Jonathan Lenzner was newly appointed Special Counsel ROBERT HUR’s deputy in Maryland. Lenzner’s father was Bill and Hillary Clinton’s private eye fixer. Lenzner is married to Washington Post national editor Matea Gold, both Democrats
Good catch, but it’s much worse than that! Oh the web the Clinton’s have woven. You see, Jonathan is the son of Terry Lenzner, who investigated and intimidated the women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual harassment. The Lezners’ association with the Clintons goes all the way back to the Nixon impeachment hearings, where Terry Lenzner who was Deputy Counsel on the Senate Watergate Committee. That’s where he met Hillary and both were scum, even back then.
Kenneth Starr subpoenaed Lenzner (along with Sidney Blumenthal) regarding allegations that Lenzner’s PI firm, IGI, was paid to find negative information about Starr’s team in order to obstruct “justice”. Of course, Lenzner lied under oath that his firm was doing “nothing inappropriate” and Starr (working for the Clintons himself) let him get away with it. Over the years, IGI has been involved in much nefarious activity, including the efforts to smear Trump with Russian collusion.
And Terry Lenzner was not the only Clinton Fixer in the 1990s. He worked with Cody Shearer, who was identified by Chris Matthews as the man who approached Kathleen Willey (remember her?) near her home, asked her about her punctured car tires and her kids and lost cat, and then said “Get the message?.” Several decades later, Cody Shearer worked on a second Trump Russia dossier that was meant to corroborate the Steele Dossier. Cody was also involved in Hillary’s Benghazi and Libya shenanigans, but who is counting.
After Terry retired in 2015, his son Jonathon took over IGI. Jonathon, like his father, is a hardcore Democrat and a Clinton donor. He contributed at least $1,700 to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign. Jonathon was not the only Clintonista working for IGI. Brook Shearer, the late sister of Cody Shearer worked for IGI too. She was one of the people the Clintons relied on for *dumpster diving* and *dirty tricks*. In fact Brooke eventually became Hillary’s personal aide.
These are the type of people the Clintons kept close … communists and thugs. And it should be noted that Brooke was married to Strobe Talbott, who Bill Clinton roomed with Oxford University when he was a Rhodes Scholar. Fabians, probably, both of them. Talbott later served as the second highest official in Clinton’s State Department with his focus being … guess … Russia. You see why Hillary said that if Trump won they were all going to hang?
Brook Shearer’s other brother Derek Shearer is a piece of work too. He worked for the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), a far, far to the left organization clearly connected to many hardcore socialists and communists, and their organizations … and to the Clintons. In 1980, Derek wrote a book titled “Economic Democracy: The Challange of the 1980’s” that proposed the economic dismantling of America’s free enterprise system and suggested that all businesses be controlled by government socialist planners. He confided that he and others were planning to so influence the Democratic Party that a President sharing their Marxist-socialist views could soon be elected. And guess what? Just prior to the 1992 election, Bill Clinton appointed Derek Shearer as his top economic advisor. You don’t suppose …
Then during the Clinton adminstration, Derek worked in Clinton’s Commerce department (oh the stories one can tell about Clinton’s Commerce Department and their illegal dealings with the Communist Chinese … some would say treason). After that, he was appointed a US ambassador to Finland by Clinton. And currently, as Chevalier Professor of Diplomacy and World Affairs at Occidental College in Los Angeles, he’s teaching the next generation of socialists/communists. See what I mean about the web the Clintons wove?
One last comment. In December, when Wray appointed Lenzner as his chief of staff, the FBI didn’t even release an announcement to the press. They wanted to keep it secret for obvious reasons. Because the Clinton machine, as much as they’re seemingly disliked by rank and file democRATS these days, is still fully operational in Washington. In fact, everything that’s happening is part of the legacy of the Clintons. And the UNIPARTY (via George Bush) let that happen.
Which is why I keep telling people that courts and laws and elections and media and *light* and the GOP are not going to save us. Only one thing is going to stop the machine that Fabian Socialists, The Clintons, The UNIPARTY, The Obamas and leftists have created to run this country. But that thing will require the same resolve on our part that America’s Founders had. So the question is do we have that degree of resolve?
Here’s what to expect:
The Committee Against Weaponization will prevent the republicans from holding democrats accountable because they’ll frame it as “Weaponization”.
The republicans will frame it that way and the democrats will parrot that propaganda.
That’s McCarthy’s role.
Stay safe Sundance!! There will be considerable pressure from the left and their minions to bring you down one way or the other. This country needs you now more than ever sir.
My God protect you!!
Here! Here!
MTG is on Homeland Sec Committee and I find joy in knowing the One-Eyed McCain is seething spittle.
Excellent strategy, Sundance. I concur on all points.
The only way forward is to have a means for FBI/DOJ whistleblowers to come forward without being targeted by those same institutions.
Congressional Oversight not going to work until real time abuses are reported.
We’ve been down this road before, 40 years ago, with the Church Committee.
Look where we are today.
The boot is still on our necks.
The legislation that we now need is in REPEALING the Patriot ACT, eliminating DNI and defunding, DHS, FBI, CIA and NSA if not abolishing some of them altogether. CIA should be whittled down to intelligence analysts only and perhaps recruitment of foreign agents. But no more assassinations and paramilitary operations worldwide.
As some of you know DNI was being illegally used against American citizens in classifying non Democrats as a “domestic threat”. They have no charter or authority to involve themselves in domestic intelligence yet did it anyway.
Pelosi was fond of calling it “the people’s house”. This is a chance to show that it’s really true. But the information operation Sundance calls for sounds expensive to implement, even if this select subcommittee was onboard.
”
A secretive financial surveillance database established by the Arizona attorney general’s office in 2014 has ballooned into a behemoth tool used by more than 600 law-enforcement entities, which can search for more than 150 million money transfers between people in the US and more than 20 countries, according to internal program documents obtained by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR).
Transational Record Analysis Center, and was established as part of a settlement reached with Western Union to combat human trafficking and drug runners from Mexico. The data includes the full names of both the sender and the recipient, along with the amount of the transaction, the Wall Street Journal reports.
“It’s a law-enforcement investigative tool,” said Rich Lebel, TRAC’s director, who claims that the program has resulted in hundreds of leads and busts involving drug cartels and other criminals engaged in money laundering. “We don’t broadcast it to the world, but we don’t run from or hide from it either.”
Three money-services companies, MoneyGram, Euronet, and Viamericas, sent TRAC bulk tranches of customer data in response to subpoenas issued out of the San Juan, Puerto Rico office of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.”
