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.
Weaponize truth. It is a mighty sword. The state has already failed.
From one alternative Journo to another, you are a gem SD, thank you for the excellent work. It should be called Operation Sunlight.
I like that ! “Operation Sunlight” 🙂
Likely FAR more important to the vast majority of people who aren’t paying adequate, unbiased attention to this topic because it is about politics where corruption is assumed:
The same sort of propaganda and censorship was used about a gain-of-function virus which should have NEVER EXISTED in the first place, which even if one assumes that only 1 in 4 deaths were FROM COVID rather than WITH COVID killed 281,389 Americans, over twice the number killed in both the Korean and Vietnam wars, and resulted in likely far more permanently injured by both the virus and the now known to be extremely dangerous injections whose Emergency Use Authorization was enabled via the suppression of effective treatments.
ALL attention should be paid to THAT topic instead as it will far more likely serve to gain enough public attention to actually succeed in fixing the censorship AND big pharma problem when people realize how they and their children have been PERSONALLY DAMAGED by both the virus that should have never existed and the fraudulently tested injection they were led to allow or mandated to allow.
However, the injured half of the Uniparty and big pharma (“Brought to you by Pfizer”) are directing the attention paid, even on Faux. An all courts press should have been made after an NFL player collapsed on national TV, but that opportunity was not taken.

If the goal is bringing an end to the current process of Select Senate Obfuscation then I say Proceed. Those who are given Immunity will become a disgrace for life which knows no boundaries. Their incarceration will be known to us and that may be worse than going to a Martha Stewart resort?
Are you kidding me? Shame is like so 70’s. They will feel no shame and acknowledge no disgrace. they will be on K street or a commentator on MSNBC or CNN within the week of their so-called “disgrace”.
So I respectfully disagree. Illegal acts must be punished. The rule of law has been the main casualty of the “Patriot Act” and reconciliation is meaningless unless “someone goes to jail” over this. Durham, Gowdy, et al. have been clown shows and have accomplished NOTHING.
At least, bring back tar and feathering.
So imagine you are a Nazi who did what you did for money and power. You are free except every detail of your crimes was made so publicly transparent that you and everyone you presently know or meet in the future can’t pretend there is any doubt of your guilt. Are you saying you wouldn’t eventually feel shame with every interaction, even a look from across the street, each weighted with subconscious distaste for your very existence, your soul? Are you saying the constant worry and anxiety would not be there wondering who you can trust when so many have their eye on you with their ear to the ground waiting for a misstep, especially those in your evil circle with a constant need to pull others down to lift themselves up? And it never ends. Where the old media covered up for you and let the public forget with time, entire generations would know of you and watch for the signs of your existence in not just your family, your blood, but in anyone who exhibited such behavior, making your name synonymous with evil, even after you pass. Your name is HITLER. Are you saying you wouldn’t develop a drug habit or kill yourself or fake your death to hide from the shame?
Little kids following you around , calling you names . Egging your house, tagging your car. Theirs more of us them them.
There are too many people on the other side – Trump haters – who will cheer the traitors, not disdain them.
As we have seen in this new Congress, sneaky DS rules and regulations can be turned on their creators. The very best conservative legal minds must be recruited to turn the “lawfare “ cannon around and use it against the bad guys. I like your plan, Sundance, along with this small addendum. If not implemented, the leftist lawfare termites will tear down your scaffold, as it’s being erected.
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.
Previous members:
Any news on who will be replacing Burr, Blunt, and Sasse? Doubtful there will be any weak link in the committee once it’s finalized.
No, they are worse, they are seditious criminals.
Can the House Republicans get rid of those Lawfare lawyers? That would be a good start.
Regarding immunity, I wonder if that also means someone is protected from claims by the intelligence community that someone’s testimony is revealing top secrets or means and methods. I think of all the Snowdens that might come forward. Who cares if Snowden would be prosecuted for revealing state secrets now anyway. The Deep State would probably try to fire up the public against immunity to thwart the Committee on Weaponization.
Good question.
Sundance is right: This sub-committee can only expose the corruption.
The job of this sub-committee should therefore be to educate more people, ground them and make them join the real fight. The product of this committee should be a lasting moment of clarity.
Don’t expect any accountability from the system no matter what we learn from the new sub-committee because the law enforcement arm of the government (DOJ/FBI) and the judiciary (courts) are utterly corrupt. Both will ensure that prosecution is waived and laws are intentionally misapplied to protect their criminal enterprise. The idea that the Madisonian institutional arrangements still obtain today—especially that of checks and balances based on federalism and the separation of powers—is a nostalgic fiction. What the Federalist describes about the functions of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches—as well as the countervailing powers of the states—has almost no connection with current reality.
The sub-committee will also have very little to no impact on the outcome of the next elections. Why? Because by now anyone capable of the most rudimentary critical thinking must have come to understand that the elections in current environment represent a “manufactured consent.” The current voting system is loaded with enough phantom voters to generate more than enough ballots for the Deep State candidates to never have to be concerned over the prospect of losing an election again. They need neither real voters or even real candidates… Only the perception of voting is what now matters.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of our conservative leaders and pundits, including President Trump, are leading us in the opposite direction, away from a solution by telling us that we can vote and litigate our way out of this mess.
Power, the raw, overwhelming power of the citizens is the only thing the criminals in Washington, DC still fear and respect. Just remember how a 1,000-strong coalition of well armed men, women, and cowboys on horseback who rallied to Cliven Bundy’s Bunkerville ranch, about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas, made a militarized force of the Bureau of Land Management to back down and stop stealing his property? Well, that standoff may have faded from public view, but it sure demonstrated that our rogue and rapaciously predatory government could only get away with their criminal activities when it encountered no real, well-organized resistance. And yes, they are laughing about the attempts of the MAGA candidates like Trump and Lake to challenge the obvious, organized criminal voter fraud in our court system that aggressively protects it. People spent hundreds of millions of dollars hiring teams of lawyers, investigators, and experts and yet, the evidence of fraud was deliberately ignored, suppressed, and laughed off as conspiracy theories.
Nothing has changed in the last two years. Nobody was held accountable or lost his/her job.
Remember that we are in a war with the globalist Left over our understanding of America and the rule-bound thinking is particularly ill-suited to periods of great change like the present, when circumstances are different from those when the rules evolved. This is our conservative ideological rigidity vs. political reality.
Good example of what We the People can accomplish if we pull together. Another example was the Jan 6 rally where between one and two million patriots showed up, unarmed, to make a point. We learned a lesson that day and it’s not the one people think it is. I won’t spell it out as I’m sure you all know what it is.

Imagine what might be if Sundance was on Jim Jordan’s staff for the near term.
Bogeyfree: Jordan talks a good game but has yet to accomplish anything of substance. Not a single thing.
Sundance does a great service by giving us information upon which we can act, accordingly. I don’t trust Congress to do a darn thing, other than wave arms and flap gums.
Totally agree – so far, Jordan is all hat and no cattle.

Very important article.
The author ends with “The best is yet to come.” He really should have picked a different wording.
Wow. having worked in Coronary Care in the 90’s a prolonged PR interval was considered dangerous-as it could lead to life threatening arrhythmia. Now they are normalizing it ? So so sad, heart damage is forever , but I see Big Pharma is coming out with some sort of vaccine to “regenerate” blood vessels. https://www.astrazeneca.com/what-science-can-do/topics/next-generation-therapeutics/entering-a-new-era-in-vascular-and-cardiac-regeneration-research.html. Did you know Cancer cells hijack blood vessels to supply themselves? This should turn out well.
Yes, I DID, actually.
Actually, the mechanisn is thru “hijacking” VEGF, Vaso Endothelial Growth Factor, so that as the cancer cell is forming, it gets significantly more “vascular support” (blood vessels) than a “normal” cell would get.
And, the vaccine to repair the heart muscle, damages by the mrna clot shot, is ALSO made using the mrna approach.
I’d like to see Tom Fitton with Judicial Watch FOIA all communication from the FAA and other agencies on the subject of raising the EKG range for pilots.
if Sundance did a thread on this it might catch the attention of Tom Fitton and even Jim Jordan.
Then apply the same to controllers.
jus wundrin: I assume that you are referring to air traffic controllers.
Mark my words: this will end up being the umpteenth nothingburger due to inadequate public attention and resulting pressure if the COVID-19 angle I detailed above is not laser-focused upon.
Covid plandemic needs its own committee and hearings.
Sundance is writing about a Committee to investigate the WEOPONISATION of the Government, and while I can see where the argument could be made that the Plandemic WAS “Weoponising the Government”, its way to big a topic, in its own right, to be folded in with J6, the Whitmer kidnap, etc.
A daunting task for sure. As I mentioned comments to an earlier article, it’s 20 against the world and the world has much to hide. The politics of destruction will be in over drive. Who is pure enough to withstand the ad hominem attacks that are being prepared? Never forget, they have “six ways to Sunday” to get you and they do not hesitate to use any of them.
The open public portal seems an invitation for chaos as the “deep state” floods it with false info to cast doubt on anything else that may be inputted.
As I have been saying for weeks, THIS is why the pay just went way up for staffers. Staffers = Lawfare.
Minor correction needed.
For this to be a Subcommittee of the 118th Congress, both the Senate and House need to approve its creation.
This is of one the reasons the 1/6 Commission was not a sanctioned Congressional Committee. Then there is the fact that Nancy Pelosi was allowed to unilaterally choose membership , which also meant this was not even a House of Representatives “sanctioned committee”, per House Rules that even Nancy P herself down graded to being called a “commission”.
This is a Subcommittee of the 118th House of Representatives, only. The senate did not vote on it’s creation nor rules. Aside from the obvious political issues and divides, this is the “legal” basis for senate and executive branch resistance, as in 2018.
Please share the language in the Constitution that the House cannot form a committee or subcommittee without the approval of the Senate?
Honest question because the way it came about being ‘downgraded’ was due to House rules – the minority leader picks who sits on the committee as representatives of the minority party and Pelosi refused to allow those chosen minority members a place only allowing two from the minority, of her choosing, to sit at that table and is the reason it had to be “downgraded” from a committee to a commission.
you do NOT know what you are talking about….EACH house has its own structure INCLUDING committees and subcommittees INDEPENDENT of the other….there are very few “joint” committees involving both houses
Sundance…if only YOU could be part of it!
After reading the first sentence twice maybe he is….
The second sentence was the give for me.
🤩
Why do you think he put in the part about creating a “Public Portal” so members of the Public can provide the committee with info?
I also thought of Katica, as she was the one who found out about the Clinton servers situation; definitely has computer investigative skills galore!
I will be optimistic when the traitors are taken to a public gallows and given their punishment.

He was Obama’s personal attorney too and the ring leader of the 2020 election steal. Bob Bauer of you guessed it, Perkins Coie.
Sundance presents a lot of complex activity to solve what should be a simple problem: fire the bastards, every last one of them who had even the remotest affiliation with this weaponization scam. Firing them all would be easy to do once JFK’s ExecOrder#10988 is rescinded. That order was signed in 1962. It was Joe Kennedy’s payback to the Mob Bosses who stole the election for JFK.
Since 1962, communist lawfare lawyers have granularized the provisions of #10988 down to the dogcatcher level. AFSCME is the largest commie union under the AFLCIO umbrella of unions. Anybody getting any kind of regular paycheck from any level of government, city, county, state, federal, has to join a union to get it.
The reason that FEDGOV and the other levels of government have grown so unwieldy and uncontrollable, i.e.. “weaponized” is because nobody can be fired for anything without going thru a weeks\months\years-long legal battle over potential violations of government employee lawfare protections that have evolved since 1962. As you may imagine, that list of protections is long & complicated. Lawfare lawyers get big fees protecting government workers.
So just cut to the chase and fire the bastards. Ain’t we got enough moxie to elect Trump or some Trump-alike and make sure Executive Order #10988 goes onto the ash-heap of history?
Executive Order #10988 is the Number One And Only Reason that FEDGOV and all the rest of it is now weaponized. It’s the people who could not be fired who have done the weaponizing.
Why don’t people like Sundance get that? Why don’t we form some kind of Coalition To End Collective Bargaining in U.S. Government Employment? It takes a special kind of person to be a bureaucrat, even a good one. When such a person begins to believe they are invincible and begins to use their assigned powers as they please, you get weaponization.
There’s an insurmountable problem with that approach. Right now, elections are widely compromised. We can only win in some parts of the country. Even many red states are “captured”.
Just maybe, turning over the log will expose enough beasties and rot to generate some backlash and move the dial.
Right. And it is the bureaucrats who cannot be fired overseeing the estoppage of free and fair elections.
I have said this often, but Trump needs to ask all voting for him to make sure they are registered as a Republican. Make is common knowledge and ask everyone to do so. When the registrations far outnumber Dems everywhere and the changes are recent, it will be very difficult for them to cheat again.

Repeal the Civil Service Act.

Great comment Maxx… I’m not versed in this, but if true surprising you haven’t had a multitude of thumbs up.
Thanks for highlighting these points.
Yes, ma’am. Executive Order #10988 has been glossed far and wide since the day JFK signed it. Nobody ever highlights its presence or its meaning. #10988 was a signal change in how FEDGOV is organized and operates. Its provisions have been trickled down by lawfare lawyers into every level of government in the States. Nowadays, all of government is unionized–to the detriment of everything it touches.
Godspeed Sundance.
My the Lord have mercy on us all!
I wondered before how folks will/can weather the white hot pressure coming their way. Committee members and witnesses alike. J6 political prisoners will be pointed at as examples. But, yes, their best protection is absolute clear transparency. Reveal everything good or bad for your party. Leave nothing that can be “leaked”.
AMEN Sundance! Now let’s see if they listen to you.
“The compartmented information silos permit plausible deniability, and this collection of weaponized institutions contains career bureaucrats who view their opposition as the American people.” – Sundance
I take this as meaning there is communication between the silos just no sharing of documents thus providing “plausible deniability”. Perhaps the “silos” use the FBI’s self destructing/disappearing Teleport to communicate with each other? Just wondering?
I hope some poster from Ohio sends this to Rep Jim Jordan. I tried but an Ohio address was required. Godspeed Sundance and Jim Jordan!!
No, Bubby.
My reading of Sundances experience, during his trip to the Swamp, was that the siloing of info is REAL, as he talks of Congressional Staffers that were truly, totally CLUELESS about things going on outside their particular “silo”.
The left hand truly doesn’t know what the far left hand, is doing.
Ok I remember that now but my speculation is that absolutely no communication between “silos” was feigned to Sundance. I could be wrong but that might be something that was off the table unknown to Sundance in his discussions. If Sundance was told about secret communications between the “silos” there goes the “plausible deniability” out the window. I don’t trust anyone in a “silo” to tell the full “truth”!! Now they could be “totally CLUELESS” but I don’t believe the deep state/IC operates that way! JMO
On further thought I agree “Congressional Staffers” in the “silos” probably don’t communicate with other “silos” even in secret. What I do speculate is that each “silo” has a head oligarch and that individual in that silo communicates with other silos. That communication occurs at that high level using something like the FBI’s self destructing/disappearing Teleport. I just believe all the silos are connected/interconnected at a high level so there are no surprises for the deep state, perhaps for us but not for them! Having said that it could be just nonsense? There’s just so much we don’t know about how the deep state communicates within and without! But thanks for the correction!
Are they intelligent enough to do this??
Intelligent, or cunning and deceptive?
Just an FYI Kohberger was a first year PhD candidate.
These guys need to go after Garland and Wray like the smash and grab jewelry thieves in LA go after the businesses there!
Now that Biden seems to be a target of an IC operation, the republicans should openly question the motives of those behind the operation. Then, when Biden defends and obstructs on behalf of those that are persecuting him, it’ll be fun mocking him for it.
I suspect several things to occur as this committee constitutes and moves forward.
It sure is a fine line our nation is walking.
Hopefully, enough whistleblowers have come forward already, so Jordan has some idea where this is going.
The Dems understand speed and frequency of messaging are important. Lies from the media should be anticipated and countered immediately. Attempts to impede the House investigations should be called out as attempts at obstruction. Hopefully, social media sites like Twitter and Gab will be supportive.
Immunity should remove the “I refuse to answer on Fifth Amendment grounds” excuse.
I hope they thoroughly vet their staff including signed and enforceable nondisclosure requirements. Including both those from inside and outside the federal government.
I also hope that all members of the Committee and Subcommittee are warned up front that if any leaks can be tied back to any committee member they will be dismissed from the committees.
About 30 years ago I was a government employee assigned to a Senate committee that was conducting a major investigation.
I saw firsthand what went on behind closed doors and it wasn’t pretty. Politics was the order of the day, the facts dug up during the investigation took a back seat to political optics.
It can’t have gotten any better if the events of the past two years or so are any indication.
I suspect that the Biden Top Secret disclosure is the WH preparing to assess the damage, so they can control the narrative
Every attempt to control the national security state leads to institutional reforms that become the “how to do it” rules rather than the intended “stop doing it” rules. Congress didn’t force the Executive to stop spying on Americans with the Church committee reforms and FISA it told the Executive “how to do it.” Bush 43 and Congress made it worse with the Patriot Act by institutionalizing the constant search and interdiction of enemies of the state. Both were well intentioned. Both were intended to give the public confidence that the 4th amendment would be respected while no stone would be left unturned to find and interdict threats before they could act. The answer is not more or better rules. The answer is to stop. Congress doesn’t need hearings to write legislation repealing the authorities that are being used to trample on the 4th amendment. They just need to act. Just say no.
Way off topic but interesting.
In 2005 Russia troops were training with soldiers at Fort Riley in 2005.
Today Ukraine troops training at Fort Sill Oklahoma.
How times have changed.
The only thing important about Massey is: do they have anything on him? One gets the feeling that most pols (esp. Repub) are either bought and sold or compromised.
An army of autists, dying to be cut loose. We have the tools. We have the passion. We are relentless.
A brilliant strategy.
DNA – who said it was a fingerprint?
if we are lucky, some people will see the forest through the trees
our main issue, however, is a corrupt news media
Prayers this morning to the creator, the God of Abraham; Lord in the name of Jesus we praise you for bringing America to this point. We are thankful for all that you do for us, including the sacrifice of your Son Jesus for our sins and everlasting life. Father if this is your will, strengthen and watch over these souls that will be doing the work of exposing the evil that has overrun our country. Protect them and their loved ones from all evil and give them power that only you can provide.
Amen
John 14:6 NKJV
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Can’t compare Gowdy hearings with the hearings to come ; Gowdy wasn’t raped, he was a willing participant in “investigate to exhonerate”, to cover up Republican leaderships complicity in Fast/Furious, IRS/Tea Party and Benghazi.
THIS was his focus and purpose, NOT actually exposing or correcting anything.
As the Deep State is deeply involved in opposing ALL of the things the New House wants to do, ALL of the Committees formed will face the same resistance Sundance describes.
Gaetz and Co.’s efforts are a repeat of DJT’s 2016 campaign, and probably the biggest direct threat to entrenched power since Martin Luther posted his diatribe on the Church doors, with a dagger.
The argument that Congressional hearings will interfere with, or compromise “muh Ongoing Investigation” WILL be advanced, and the Committee needs a plan in place, and a “Company line” to use to refute that baseless allegation EVERY time it is advanced. More work for the communication staff.
Nobody raised concerns, during the Watergate hearings, that the Joint Committee investigations and hearings would interfere with the ongoing criminal investigations, and they DIDN’T; people WERE prosecuted, and went to prison.
I would say the House needs to reestablish the battered concept that perjury before Congress is a CRIME, and will result in TIME for anyone who commits perjury in Congressional testimony.
The concept was undermined, once again by REPUBLICAN leadership (Ryan) who was “in on” the Stonewall and so ALLOWED witnesses to “get away with” lieing to Congress.
South Carolina has some of the most corrupt and dirty politicians in the country-especially the republicans.
I’m sure those fed agencies will get a stern letter and wrist twisting.
I don’t see how this committee will get anywhere. First, the fear of every government employee is losing their job and pension and that is highly unlikely as the system protects its own (See McCabe, et al). The other way for employees to lose their job is by defunding their department, and that is unlikely unless the entire congress is a majority of Jordans. If the purpose is to generate sunlight so that more Jordans can be elected to congress in order to effect those changes, then that avenue is blocked as well by mail-in voting laws. Add to that the millions of illegal who will join the voter roles in the next couple of years and won’t too keen on the politics of the House freedom caucus.
Knowing about it without being able to vote does nothin but make us cynical and mad, which may (or may not) lead to a citizen revolt. Unfortunately, history is not encouraging as we seen with the Yellow Vests, the truckers and now Brazil. This didn’t happen overnight (even though it seems that way), this took decades of life-long dedicated work by the Left and it can’t be expected to be reversed by a single committee who only have one half of one third the government.
When the corrupt entity is investigating itself
You have to be insane to think anything of substance will come from it.
Ha, I’ll hold my breath.
Even when the repubs had all three branches they screwed it up. When they actually DO something, it would be out of dumb luck.
I would like to see them investigate and expose who is actually in charge and making the decisions in the White House. It ain’t Biden and we all know it. We’re heading full speed into WW III with a dementia patient.
Pray.
Use your daily communication with God to ask for protection for the good guys, for sunlight to blast into every shadowy corner, and for righteous justice, His justice, and most especially for His infinite and glorious Mercy above all.
The New Untouchables.
they cannot count 4M votes in a day but Mega Millions knew where and at what TIME the winning ticket was bought in ME for the $1.5B jackpot less than 12 hours after the number draw……..there were probably in excess of 500M tickets sold
Ironically, Autists may save society.
I am a practical pragmatic skeptic. I live in hope for a new reform because the alternative is unsettling and has only one answer: revolutionary action. Which I cannot dismiss as a strong possibility, given there IS so many forces of the corrupt deep state that will and have moved mountains to remain unchallenged.
With this sentiment, I propose everyone (even if it causes stress and negative “feelings”), begin to at least think about a plan b.
What happens when this predictably long drawn out “investigation” does not realize the outcomes that are necessary and proper: criminal prosecutions of treason, abuse of power, firing people, suits for civil claims that are positive, reforms of the entire classification and security clearance programs, repeal and banning the enhanced patriot act, reforms to congress such as passage new laws that AMEND the constitution to allow state voters to IMPEACH BY VOTE those house and senate members who have demonstrated fraud, high crimes and misdemeanors, criminal violations, working for foreign states, and faithless actions and votes to the very basis upon which their voters made decisions in getting them elected?
and the list goes on.
what happens when we get none of these things accomplished?
what IS the plan B.
I will not advertise my own views AGAIN, or provide ANY details about specifics, but to advance AGAIN that most of these institutional systemic corrupt actions and policies and laws are not going to be solved by political action.
what IS necessary is to not merely consider that these political efforts are unlikely to achieve true reform but to begin setting forth a wave of ever escalating resolutions and grievances TO CONGRESS.
when we accept that corruption is not being resolved and reformed BY CONGRESS, and political action does not solve these problems, there is a path forward but it does take action:
Here are some ideas, taken from our cherished and righteous early american patriots:
we must submit a declaration OUTSIDE OF THE REGULAR POLITIC PROCESS.
this is HOW THE PEOPLE begin to express TRUE AND PROPER POWER.
what does this look like?
a set of grievances that is traveled by millions of American to the capitol…to the supreme court..the FBI headquarters, to DOJ..to each State Assembly.
Here are our grievances. This is what WE DEMAND.
this is not merely a show of action..It is a process that is proven successful.
this is direct engagement outside of the framework of “voting”.
this is making it real and forcing those holding the power to react.
This will not be pretty, but necessary.
Will it cause solutions to happen over night?
absolutely not.
but this effort will create an important and necessary step toward reform.
If we understand the history of the FIRST revolution, we are reminded that it took over 30 years of political action that failed miserably to address the institutional corruption, fraud and tyranny. Within those 30 years every effort was made to force this tyrannt british rule to compromise. It never did. It doubled down.
we can expect the same.
then the next stage happens…kinetics…battles..skirmishes.
the early americans had to move in their feet rapidly.
they did not do this in some uniform well regulated way. it was organic and quite local.
ours can be much more strategic and focused, as the same logistical issues and communications issues do not exist now.
So we can expect far greater success in terms of coordination and effect.
I know these things are possible. I also know this is the only way to solve the issues that political actions cannot.
So there it is. again. I repeat myself because I am at heart a planner. I expect thing to happen and what I know needs to be done NOW to address those contingencies.
If you want to country and the representation that is not corrupt and abusive to your own interests, then political action is necessary, but will be limited in how much reform a corrupt state can agree to. It’s like asking a bank robber to turn themselves in and walk themselves into prison. It’s never going to happen. And in DC, the overwhelming numbers of scoundrels and scoffflaws greatly outnumber the few honorable and righteous members who will have the guts to even discuss and address the corruption, must less have the political power to reel that in.
understand the reality of the current situation. There is NOT a growing majority of honorable righteous law abiding congressional members. By the very rules of congress this means any reforms will be limited and likely noneffectual to the true solutions that benefit the American PEOPLE> it will be at best rearranging the chairs in the titanic…we will get some small victories but the larger issues will continue. This is the reality of the situation. We are literally fighting against a corrupt regime so deeply corrupted there is no political solution.
Say the words. revolution.
how you organize and how you establish the declaration is entirely up to YOU.
as it should. Because that is where the true natural power exists…made this way BY GOD>
restoring your nation requires you to get involved and not to sit back and let other do the work for you.
there are no white horses…no saviors coming to correct the state.
you ARE THE WHITE HORSES.
choose to be.
or not.
when is now?
God Bless America
Yes Regi…no truer words. We are the white horses. No one is coming … develop a plan for your community, family and friends. Unless, by divine intervention God shows some great favor to this nation. But, that’s going to take some major repentance.
