On March 2, 2023, the people in control of the Joe Biden administration officially announced that government control of internet content was now officially a part of the national security apparatus. [White House Link] If you have followed the history of how the Fourth Branch of Government has been created, you will immediately recognize the intent of this new framework.
The “National Cybersecurity Strategy” aligns with, supports, and works in concert with a total U.S. surveillance system, where definitions of information are then applied to “cybersecurity” and communication vectors. This policy is both a surveillance system and an information filtration prism where the government will decide what is information, disinformation, misinformation and malinformation, then act upon it.
In part, this appears to be a response to the revelations around government influence of social media, the Twitter Files. Now we see the formalization of the intent. The government will be the arbiter of truth and cyber security, not the communication platforms or private companies. This announcement puts the government in control.
All of the control systems previously assembled under the guise of the Dept of Homeland Security now become part of the online, digital national security apparatus. I simply cannot emphasis enough how dangerous this is, and the unspoken motive behind it; however, to the latter, you are part of a small select group who are capable of understanding what is in this announcement without me spelling it out.
Remember, we have already lost the judicial branch to the interests of the national security state. All judicial determinations are now in deference to what is called broadly “national security,” and the only arbiter of what qualifies to be labeled as a national security interest is the same institutional system who hides the corruption and surveillance behind the label they apply.
We cannot fight our way through the complexity of what is being assembled, until the American People approach the big questions from the same baseline of understanding. What is the root cause that created the system? From there, this announcement takes on a more clarifying context – where we realize this is the formalization of the previously hidden process.
Barack Obama and Eric Holder did not create a weaponized DOJ and FBI; the institutions were already weaponized by the Patriot Act. What Obama and Holder did was take the preexisting system and retool it, so the weapons of government only targeted one side of the political continuum.
This point is where many people understandably get confused.
Elevator Speech:
(1) The Patriot Act turned the intel surveillance radar from foreign searches for terrorists to domestic searches for terrorists.
(2) Obama/Biden then redefined what is a “terrorist” to include their political opposition.
DEEP DIVE:
Twitter is to the U.S. government as TikTok is to China. The overarching dynamic is the need to control public perceptions and opinions.
DHS has been in ever increasing control of Twitter since the public-private partnership was formed in 2011/2012. However, it’s not just Twitter. The same fundamental relationships are now at work within Google, Microsoft, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook.
With all the shiny things surfacing from the Twitter Files, few are looking at the origin of what the government is trying to keep hidden….
In the era shortly after 9/11, the DC national security apparatus, instructed by Vice President Dick Cheney, was constructed to preserve continuity of government and simultaneously view all Americans as potential threats. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) were created specifically for this purpose.
After 9/11/01, the electronic surveillance system that was originally created to monitor threats from abroad was retooled to monitor threats inside our country. That is when all of our electronic ‘metadata’ came under federal surveillance.
That inflection point, and the process that followed, was exactly what Edward Snowden tried to point out.
What Barack Obama and Eric Holder did with that new construct was refine the internal targeting mechanisms so that only their political opposition became the target of this new national security system.
The problems we face now as a country are directly an outcome of two very distinct points that were merged by Barack Obama. (1) The post 9/11 monitoring of electronic communication of American citizens; and (2) Obama’s team creating a fine-tuning knob that it focused on the politics of the targets. This is very important to understand as you dig deeper into this research outline.
Washington DC created the modern national security apparatus immediately and hurriedly after 9/11/01. The Department of Homeland Security came along in 2002, and within the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) was formed.
When President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder arrived a few years later, those newly formed institutions were viewed as opportunities to create a very specific national security apparatus that would focus almost exclusively against their political opposition.
The preexisting Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Dept of Justice (DOJ) were then repurposed to become two of the four pillars of the domestic national security apparatus: a domestic surveillance state. However, this new construct would have a targeting mechanism based on political ideology.
The DHS, ODNI, DOJ and FBI became the four pillars of this new institution. Atop these pillars is where you will find the Fourth Branch of Government.
We were not sleeping when this happened, we were wide awake. However, we were stunningly distracted by the economic collapse that was taking place in 2006 and 2007 when the engineers behind Obama started to assemble the design. By the time Obama took office in 2009, we sensed something profound was shifting, but we can only see exactly what shifted in the aftermath. The four pillars were put into place, and a new Fourth Branch of Government was quietly created.
As time passed, and the system operators became familiar with their new tools, technology allowed the tentacles of the system to reach out and touch us. That is when we first started to notice that something very disconcerting was happening. Those four pillars are the root of it, and if we take the time to understand how the Fourth Branch originated, questions about this current state of perpetual angst will start to make sense.
We pick up the expansive and weaponized intelligence system as it manifests after 9/11/01, and my goal is to highlight how the modern version of the total intelligence apparatus has metastasized into a Fourth Branch of Government. It is this superseding branch that now touches and influences every facet of our life. We The People are under surveillance.
If we take the modern construct, originating at the speed of technological change, we can also see how the oversight or “check/balance” in our system of government became functionally obsolescent.
After many years of granular research about the intelligence apparatus inside our government, in the summer of 2020 I visited Washington DC to ask specific questions. My goal was to go where the influence agents within government actually operate, and to discover the people deep inside the institutions no one elected, and few people pay attention to.
It was during this process when I discovered how information is purposefully put into containment silos; essentially a formal process to block the flow of information between agencies and between the original branches. While frustrating to discover, the silo effect was important because understanding the communication between networks leads to our ability to reconcile conflict between what we perceive and what’s actually taking place.
After days of research and meetings in DC during 2020, amid a town that was serendipitously shut down due to COVID-19, I found a letter slid under the door of my room in a nearly empty hotel with an introduction of sorts. The subsequent discussions were perhaps the most important. After many hours of specific questions and answers on specific examples, I realized why our nation is in this mess. That is when I discovered the fourth and superseding branch of government, the Intelligence Branch.
I am going to explain how the Intelligence Branch works: (1) to control every other branch of government; (2) how it functions as an entirely independent branch of government with no oversight; (3) how and why it was created to be independent from oversight; (4) what is the current mission of the IC Branch, and most importantly (5) who operates it.
The Intelligence Branch is an independent functioning branch of government; it is no longer a subsidiary set of agencies within the Executive Branch as most would think. To understand the Intelligence Branch, we need to drop the elementary school civics class lessons about three coequal branches of government, and replace that outlook with the modern system that created itself.
The Intelligence Branch functions much like the State Dept, through a unique set of public-private partnerships that support it. Big Tech industry collaboration with intelligence operatives is part of that functioning, almost like an NGO. However, the process is much more important than most think. In this problematic perspective of a corrupt system of government, the process is the flaw – not the outcome.
There are people making decisions inside this little known, unregulated and out-of-control branch of government that impact every facet of our lives.
None of the people operating deep inside the Intelligence Branch were elected, and our elected representative House members genuinely do not know how the system works. I assert this position affirmatively because I have talked to House and Senate staffers, including the chiefs of staff for multiple House & Senate committee seats. They are not malicious people; however, they are genuinely clueless of things that happen outside their silo. That is part of the purpose of me explaining it, with examples, in full detail with sunlight.
We begin….
In April of 2016, the FBI launched a counterintelligence operation against presidential candidate Donald Trump. The questioning about that operation is what New York Representative Elise Stefanik cites in March of 2017, approximately 11 months later (First Two Minutes).
Things to note:
♦ Notice how FBI Director James Comey just matter-of-factly explains no one outside the DOJ was informed about the FBI operation. Why? Because that’s just the way things are done. His justification for unilateral operations was “because of the sensitivity of the matter“, totally ignoring any constitutional or regulatory framework for oversight, because, well, quite simply, there isn’t any. The intelligence apparatus inside the DOJ/FBI can, and does, operate based on their own independent determinations of authority.
♦ Notice also how FBI Director Comey shares his perspective that informing the National Security Council (NSC) is the equivalent of notifying the White House. The FBI leadership expressly believe they bear no responsibility to brief the Chief Executive. As long as they tell some unknown, unelected, bureaucratic entity inside the NSC, their unwritten responsibility to inform the top of their institutional silo is complete. If the IC wants to carve out the Oval Office, they simply plant information inside the NSC and, from their perspective, their civic responsibility to follow checks-and-balances is complete. This is an intentional construct.
♦ Notice how Comey obfuscates notification to the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), by avoiding the fact James Clapper was the DNI from outset of the counterintelligence operation throughout the remainder of Obama’s term. When I get deeper into the process, we will understand how the Intelligence Branch has intentionally used the creation of the DNI position (established post 9/11/01) as a method to avoid oversight, not enhance it. Keeping an oblivious doofus like James Clapper in position held strategic value [Doofus Reminder HERE].
That video of James Comey being questioned by Elise Stefanik was the first example given to me by someone who knew the background of everything that was taking place preceding that March 20, 2017, hearing. That FBI reference point is a key to understand how the Intelligence Branch operates with unilateral authority above Congress (legislative branch), above the White House (executive branch), and even above the court system (judicial branch).
Also, watch this short video of James Clapper, because it is likely many readers have forgotten, and likely even more readers have never seen it. Watch closely how then White House National Security Adviser John Brennan is responding in that video. This is before Brennan became CIA Director; this is when Brennan was helping Barack Obama put the pillars into place. WATCH:
[Sidebar: Every time I post this video it gets scrubbed from YouTube (example), so save it if you ever want to see it again.]
The video of James Clapper highlights how the ODNI position (created with good national security intention) ended up becoming the fulcrum for modern weaponization, and is now an office manipulated by agencies with a vested interest in retaining power. The Intelligence Branch holds power over the ODNI through their influence and partnership with the body that authorizes the power within it, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI).
Factually, the modern intelligence apparatus uses checks and balances in their favor. The checks create silos of proprietary information, classified information, vaults of information that work around oversight issues. The silos, which include the exploitation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA Court, or FISC) are part of the problem.
Ironically, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence was created in the aftermath of 9/11/01 expressly to eliminate the silos of information which they felt led to a domestic terrorist attack that could have been prevented. The ODNI was created specifically upon the recommendation of the 9/11 commission.
The intent was to create a central hub of intelligence information, inside the Executive Branch, where the CIA, NSA, DoD, DoS, and DIA could deposit their unique intelligence products and a repository would be created so that domestic intelligence operations, like the DOJ and FBI could access them when needed to analyze threats to the U.S. This, they hoped, would ensure the obvious flags missed in the 9/11 attacks would not be missed again.
However, the creation of the DNI office also created an unconstitutional surveillance system of the American people. The DNI office became the tool to take massive amounts of data and use it to target specific Americans. Weaponizing the DNI office for political targeting is now the purpose of the DNI office as it exists.
The illegal and unlawful nature of the surveillance creates a need for careful protection amid the group who operate in the shadows of electronic information and domestic surveillance. You will see how it was critical to install a person uniquely skilled in being an idiot, James Clapper, into that willfully blind role while intelligence operatives worked around the office to assemble the Intelligence Branch of Government.
• The last federal budget that flowed through the traditional budgetary process was signed into law in September of 2007 for fiscal year 2008 by George W. Bush. Every budget since then has been a fragmented process of continuing resolutions and individual spending bills.
Why does this matter? Because many people think defunding the Intelligence Community is a solution; it is not…. at least, not yet. Worse yet, the corrupt divisions deep inside the U.S. intelligence system can now fund themselves from multinational private sector partnerships (banks, corporations and foreign entities).
• When Democrats took over the House of Representatives in January 2007, they took office with a plan. Nancy Pelosi became Speaker, and Democrats controlled the Senate where Harry Reid was Majority Leader. Barack Obama was a junior senator from Illinois.
Pelosi and Reid intentionally did not advance a budget in 2008 (for fiscal year 2009) because their plan included installing Barack Obama (and all that came with him) with an open checkbook made even more lucrative by a worsening financial crisis and a process called baseline budgeting. Baseline budgeting means the prior fiscal year budget is accepted as the starting point for the next year budget. All previous expenditures are baked into the cake within baseline budgeting.
Massive bailouts preceded Obama’s installation due to U.S. economic collapse, and massive bailouts continued after his installation. This is the ‘never let a crisis go to waste’ aspect. TARP (Troubled Asset Recovery Program), auto bailouts (GM), and the massive stimulus spending bill, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA, ie. those shovel ready jobs) were all part of the non-budget spending. The federal reserve assisted with Quantitative Easing (QE1 and QE2) as congress passed various Porkulous spending bills further spending and replacing the formal budget process.
Note: There has never been a budget passed in the normal/traditional process since September of 2007.
• While Obama’s radical ‘transformation‘ was triggered across a broad range of government institutions, simultaneously spending on the U.S. military was cut, but spending on the intelligence apparatus expanded. We were all distracted by Obamacare, and the Republican Party wanted to keep us that way. However, in the background there was a process of transformation taking place that included very specific action by Eric Holder and targeted effort toward the newest executive agency the ODNI.
The people behind Obama, those same people now behind Joe Biden, knew from years of strategic planning that ‘radical transformation’ would require control over specific elements inside the U.S. government. Eric Holder played a key role in his position as U.S. Attorney General in the DOJ.
AG Holder recruited ideologically aligned political operatives who were aware of the larger institutional objectives. One of those objectives was weaponizing the DOJ-National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) a division inside the DOJ that had no inspector general oversight. For most people the DOJ-NSD weaponization surfaced with a hindsight awakening of the DOJ-NSD targeting candidate Donald Trump many years later. However, by then the Holder crew had executed almost eight full years of background work.
• The second larger Obama/Holder objective was control over the FBI. Why was that important? Because the FBI does the domestic investigative work on anyone who needs or holds a security clearance. The removal of security clearances could be used as a filter to further build the internal ideological army they were assembling. Additionally, with new power in the ODNI created as a downstream consequence of the Patriot Act, new protocols for U.S. security clearances were easy to justify.
Carefully selecting fellow ideological travelers was facilitated by this filtration within the security clearance process. How does that issue later manifest? Just look around at how politicized every intelligence agency has become, specifically including the FBI.
• At the exact same time this new background security clearance process was ongoing, again everyone distracted by the fight over Obamacare, inside the Department of State (Secretary Hillary Clinton) a political alignment making room for the next phase was being assembled. Names like Samantha Power, Susan Rice and Hillary Clinton were familiar on television while Lisa Monaco worked as a legal liaison between the Obama White House and Clinton State Department.
Through the Dept of State (DoS) the intelligence apparatus began working on their first steps to align Big Tech with a larger domestic institutional objective. Those of you who remember the “Arab Spring”, some say “Islamist Spring”, will remember it was triggered by Barack Obama’s speech in Cairo – his first foreign trip. The State Department worked with grassroots organizers (mostly Muslim Brotherhood) in Egypt, Syria, Bahrain, Qatar and Libya. Obama leaned heavily on the organizational network of Turkish President Recep Erdogan for contacts and support.
Why does this aspect matter to us? Well, you might remember how much effort the Obama administration put into recruiting Facebook and Twitter as resources for the various mideast rebellions the White House and DoS supported. This was the point of modern merge between the U.S. intelligence community and Big Tech social media.
In many ways, the coordinated political outcomes in Libya and Egypt were the beta test for the coordinated domestic political outcomes we saw in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. The U.S. intelligence community working with social media platforms and political operatives.
Overlaying all of that background activity was also a new alignment of the Obama-era intelligence apparatus with ideological federal “contractors“. Where does this contractor activity manifest? In the FISA Court opinion of Rosemary Collyer who cited the “interagency memorandum of understanding”, or MOU.
Hopefully, you can see a small part of how tentacled the system to organize/weaponize the intelligence apparatus was. None of this was accidental, all of this was by design, and the United States Senate was responsible for intentionally allowing most of this to take place. The tools the government used to monitor threats were now being used to monitor every American. WE THE PEOPLE were now the threat the national security system was monitoring.
That’s the 30,000/ft level backdrop history of what was happening as the modern IC was created. Next, we will go into how all these various intelligence networks began working in unison and how they currently control all of the other DC institutions under them; including how they can carve out the President from knowing their activity.
♦ When Barack Obama was installed in January 2009, the Democrats held a 60-seat majority in the U.S. Senate. As the people behind the Obama installation began executing their longer-term plan, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence was a tool to create the Intelligence Branch; it was not an unintentional series of events.
When Obama was installed, Dianne Feinstein was the Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), and Democrat operative Dan Jones was her lead staffer. Feinstein was completely controlled by those around her including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The CIA was in the process of turning over personnel following the Bush era, and as a result of a massive multi-year narrative of diminished credibility (Iraq WMD), a deep purge was underway. Obama/Holder were in the process of shifting intelligence alignment and the intensely political Democrat Leader Harry Reid was a key participant.
THE TRAP – Many people say that Congress is the solution to eliminating the Fourth and superseding Branch of Government, the Intelligence Branch. This is an exercise in futility because the Legislative Branch, specifically the SSCI, facilitated the creation of the Intelligence Branch. The SSCI cannot put the genie they created back in the bottle without admitting they too are corrupt; and the background story of their corruption is way too intense to be exposed now.
Every member of the SSCI is compromised in some controlling manner. Those Senators who disliked the control over them; specifically disliked because the risk of sunlight was tenuous and, well, possible; have either left completely or stepped down from the committee. None of the SSCI members past or present would ever contemplate saying openly what their tenure involved.
[Note: You might remember when Vice Chairman Mark Warner’s text messages surfaced, there was a controlled Republican SSCI member who came to his defense in February of 2018. It was not accidental that exact Senator later became the chair of the SSCI himself. That Republican Senator is Marco Rubio, now vice-chair since the Senate re-flipped back to the optics of Democrat control in 2021.]
All of President Obama’s 2009 intelligence appointments required confirmation from the Senate. The nominees had to first pass through the Democrat controlled SSCI, and then to a full Senate vote where Democrats held a 60-vote majority. Essentially, Obama got everyone he wanted in place easily. Rahm Emmanuel was Obama’s Chief of Staff, and Valerie Jarrett was Senior Advisor.
Tim Geithner was Treasury Secretary in 2010 when the joint DOJ/FBI and IRS operation to target the Tea Party took place after the midterm “shellacking” caused by the Obamacare backlash. Mitch McConnell was Minority Leader in the Senate but supported the targeting of the Tea Party as his Senate colleagues were getting primaried by an angry and effective grassroots campaign. McConnell’s friend, Senator Bob Bennett, getting beaten in Utah was the final straw.
Dirty Harry and Mitch McConnell saw the TEA Party through the same prism. The TEA Party took Kennedy’s seat in Massachusetts (Scott Brown); Sharon Angle was about to take out Harry Reid in Nevada; Arlen Spector was taken down in Pennsylvania; Senator Robert Byrd died; Senator Lisa Murkowski lost her primary to Joe Miller in Alaska; McConnell’s nominee Mike Castle lost to Christine O’Donnell in Delaware; Rand Paul won in Kentucky. This is the background. The peasants were revolting…. and visibly angry Mitch McConnell desperately made a deal with the devil to protect himself.
In many ways, the TEA Party movement was/is very similar to the MAGA movement. The difference in 2010 was the absence of a head of the movement, in 2015 Donald Trump became that head figure who benefited from the TEA Party energy. Trump came into office in 2017 with the same congressional opposition as the successful TEA Party candidates in 2011.
Republicans took control of the Senate following the 2014 mid-terms. Republicans took control of the SSCI in January 2015. Senator Richard Burr became chairman of the SSCI, and Dianne Feinstein shifted to Vice-Chair. Dirty Harry Reid left the Senate, and Mitch McConnell took power again.
Republicans were in control of the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2015 when the Intelligence Branch operation against candidate Donald Trump was underway. [Feinstein’s staffer, Dan Jones, left the SSCI so he could act as a liaison and political operative between private-sector efforts (Fusion GPS, Chris Steele) and the SSCI.] The SSCI was a participant in that Fusion GPS/Chris Steele operation, and as a direct consequence Republicans were inherently tied to the problem with President Trump taking office in January of 2017. Indiana Republican Senator Dan Coats was a member of the SSCI.
Bottom line…. When it came to the intelligence system targeting Donald Trump during the 2015/2016 primary, the GOP was just as much at risk as their Democrat counterparts.
When Trump unexpectedly won the 2016 election, the SSCI was shocked more than most. They knew countermeasures would need to be deployed to protect themselves from any exposure of their prior intelligence conduct. Immediately Senator Dianne Feinstein stepped down from the SSCI, and Senator Mark Warner was elevated to Vice Chairman.
Indiana’s own Mike Pence, now Vice President, recommended fellow Hoosier, SSCI Senator Dan Coats, to become President Trump’s Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). [Apply hindsight here]
• To give an idea of the Intelligence Branch power dynamic, remind yourself how House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), Chairman Devin Nunes, tried to get access to the DOJ/FBI records of the FISA application used against the Trump campaign via Carter Page.
Remember, Devin Nunes only saw a portion of the FISA trail from his review of a Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) previously given to President Obama. Chairman Nunes had to review the PDB at the White House SCIF due to compartmented intelligence, another example of the silo benefit.
Remember the massive stonewalling and blocking of the DOJ/FBI toward Nunes? Remember the back-and-forth battle over declassification surrounding the Nunes memo?
Remember, after Nunes went directly to House Speaker Paul Ryan for help (didn’t get any), the DOJ only permitted two members from each party within the HPSCI to review the documents, and only at the DOJ offices of main justice?
Contrast that amount of House Intel Committee railroading by intelligence operatives in the DOJ, DOJ-NSD and FBI, with the simple request by Senate Intelligence Vice Chairman Mark Warner asking to see the Carter Page FISA application and immediately a copy being delivered to him on March 17th 2017.
Can you see which intelligence committee is aligned with the deepest part of the deep state?
Oh, how quickly we forget:
The contrast of ideological alignment between the House, Senate and Intelligence Branch is crystal clear when viewed through the prism of cooperation. You can see which legislative committee holds the power and support of the Intelligence Branch. The Senate Intel Committee facilitates the corrupt existence of the IC Branch, so the IC Branch only cooperates with the Senate Intel Committee. It really is that simple.
• The Intelligence Branch carefully selects its own members by controlling how security clearances are investigated and allowed (FBI). The Intelligence Branch also uses compartmentalization of intelligence as a way to keep each agency, and each downstream branch of government (executive, legislative and judicial), at arm’s length as a method to stop anyone from seeing the larger picture of their activity. I call this the “silo effect“, and it is done by design.
I have looked at stunned faces when I presented declassified silo product from one agency to the silo customers of another. You would be astonished at what they don’t know because it is not in their ‘silo’.
Through the advice and consent rules, the Intelligence Branch uses the SSCI to keep out people they consider dangerous to their ongoing operations. Any appointee to the intelligence community must first pass through the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, before they get a full Senate vote. If the SSCI rejects the candidate, they simply refuse to take up the nomination. The president is then blocked from that appointment. This is what happened with President Trump over and over again.
• Additionally, the Intelligence Branch protects itself, and its facilitating allies through the formal classification process. The Intelligence Branch gets to decide unilaterally what information will be released and what information will be kept secret. There is no entity outside the Intelligence Branch, and yes that includes the President of the United States, who can supersede the classification authority of the Intelligence Branch. {Go Deep} and {Go Deep} This is something 99.9% of the people on our side get totally and frustratingly wrong.
No one can declassify, or make public, anything the Intelligence Branch will not agree to. Doubt this? Ask Ric Grenell, John Ratcliffe, or even President Trump himself.
• The classification process is determined inside the Intelligence Branch, all by themselves. They get to choose what rank of classification exists on any work product they create; and they get to decide what the classification status is of any work product that is created by anyone else. The Intelligence Branch has full control over what is considered classified information and what is not. The Intelligence Branch defines what is a “national security interest” and what is not. A great technique for hiding fingerprints of corrupt and illegal activity.
[For familiar reference see the redactions to Lisa Page and Peter Strzok text messages. The Intelligence Branch does all redactions.]
• Similarly, the declassification process is a request by an agency, even a traditionally superior agency like the President of the United States, to the Intelligence Branch asking for them to release the information. The Intelligence Branch again holds full unilateral control.
If the head of the CIA refuses to comply with the declassification instruction of the President, what can the president do except fire him/her? {Again, GO DEEP} How does the President replace the non-compliant cabinet member? They have to go through the SSCI confirmation. See the problem?
Yes, there are ways to break up the Intelligence Branch, but they do not start with any congressional effort. As you can see above, the process is the flaw – not the solution. Most conservative pundits have their emphasis on the wrong syllable. Their cornerstone is false.
For their own self-preservation, the Intelligence Branch has been interfering in our elections for years. The way to tear this apart begins with STATE LEVEL election reform that blocks the Legislative Branch from coordinating with the Intelligence Branch.
The extreme federalism approach is critical and also explains why Joe Biden has instructed Attorney General Merrick Garland to use the full power of the DOJ to stop state level election reform efforts. The worry of successful state level election control is also why the Intelligence Branch now needs to support the federal takeover of elections.
Our elections have been usurped by the Intelligence Branch. Start with honest elections and we will see just how much Democrat AND Republican corruption is dependent on manipulated election results. Start at the state level. Start there…. everything else is downstream.
♦ COLLAPSED OVERSIGHT – The modern system to ‘check’ the Executive Branch was the creation of the legislative “Gang of Eight,” a legislative oversight mechanism intended to provide a bridge of oversight between the authority of the intelligence community within the Executive Branch.
The Go8 construct was designed to allow the President authority to carry out intelligence operations and provide the most sensitive notifications to a select group within Congress.
The Go8 oversight is directed to the position, not the person, and consists of: (1) The Speaker of the House; (2) The Minority Leader of the House; (3) The Chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, HPSCI; (4) The Ranking Member (minority) of the HPSCI; (5) The Leader of the Senate; (6) The Minority Leader of the Senate; (7) The Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, SSCI; and finally (8) the Vice-Chair of the SSCI.
Example: When the Chief Executive (the President) initiates an intelligence operation on behalf of the United States, the President triggers a “finding memo.” In essence, the instruction to the intel agency or agencies to authorize a covert operation. When that process takes place, the Go8 are the first people notified. Depending on the sensitivity of the operation, sometimes the G08 are notified immediately after the operation is conducted. The notification can be a phone call or an in-person briefing.
Because of the sensitivity of their intelligence information, the Gang of Eight hold security clearances that permit them to receive and review all intelligence operations. The intelligence community are also responsible for briefing the Go8 with the same information they use to brief the President.
~ 2021 Gang of Eight ~
The Go8 design is intended to put intelligence oversight upon both political parties in Congress; it is designed that way by informing the minority leaders of both the House and Senate as well as the ranking minority members of the SSCI and HPSCI. Under the concept, the President cannot conduct an intelligence operation; and the intelligence community cannot carry out intelligence gathering operations without the majority and minority parties knowing about it.
The modern design of this oversight system was done to keep rogue and/or corrupt intelligence operations from happening. However, as we shared in the preview to this entire discussion, the process was usurped during the Obama era. {GO DEEP}
Former FBI Director James Comey openly admitted to Congress on March 20, 2017, that the FBI, FBI Counterintelligence Division, DOJ and DOJ-National Security Division, together with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the CIA, had been conducting independent investigations of Donald Trump for over a year without informing the Go8. Comey justified the lack of informing Go8 oversight by saying, “because of the sensitivity of the matter.”
Stupidly, Congress never pressed James Comey on that issue. The arrogance was astounding, and the acceptance by Congress was infuriating. However, that specific example highlighted just how politically corrupt the system had become. In essence, Team Obama usurped the entire design of congressional oversight…. and Congress just brushed it off.
Keep in mind, Comey did not say the White House was unaware; in fact he said exactly the opposite, he said, “The White House was informed through the National Security Council,” (the NSC). The unavoidable implication and James Comey admission that everyone just brushed aside, was that President Obama’s National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, was informed of the intelligence operation(s) against Donald Trump. After all, the NSC reports to the National Security Advisor.
Does the January 20, 2017, Susan Rice memo look different now?
Again, no one saw the immediate issue. What Comey just described on that March Day in 2017 was the usurpation of the entire reason the Gang of Eight exists; to eliminate the potential for political weaponization of the Intelligence Community by the executive branch. The G08 notifications to the majority and minority are specifically designed to make sure what James Comey admitted to doing was never supposed to happen.
Team Obama carried out a political operation using the intelligence community and the checks-and-balances in the system were intentionally usurped. This is an indisputable fact.
Worse still, the entire legislative branch of Congress, which then specifically included the Republicans that now controlled the House and Senate, did nothing. They just ignored what was admitted. The usurpation was willfully ignored.
The mechanism of the G08 was bypassed without a twitch of condemnation or investigation…. because the common enemy was Donald Trump.
This example highlights the collapse of the system. Obama, the Executive Branch, collapsed the system by usurping the process; in essence the process became the bigger issue, and the lack of immediate Legislative Branch reaction became evidence of open acceptance. The outcomes of the usurpation played out over the next four years; Donald J. Trump was kneecapped and lost his presidency because of it. However, the bigger issue of the collapse still exists.
The downstream consequence of the Legislative Branch accepting the Executive Branch usurpation meant both intelligence committees were compromised. Additionally, the leadership of both the House and Senate were complicit. Think about this carefully. The Legislative Branch allowance of the intelligence usurpation meant the Legislative Branch was now subservient to the Intelligence Branch.
That’s where we are.
Right now.
That’s where we are.
Term-3 Obama is now back in the White House with Joe Biden.
Lisa Monaco running the DOJ.
Victoria Nuland running State Dept (Ukraine)
Avril Haines running Intelligence Community.
Samantha Power is running USAID.
Mary McCord is running Jack Smith Special Counsel operation…. The great pretending continues.
NOTE: Former Obama National Security Aide and Counsel to the President, Lisa Monaco, is in her current position as Deputy Attorney General, specifically to make sure all of these revelations do not become a legal risk to Barack Obama and the people who created them. The SSCI confirmed Monaco for this purpose, because the Senate is just as much at risk.
Term-1 and Term-2 Obama usurped the ‘check and balance‘ within the system and weaponized the intelligence apparatus. During Trump’s term that weaponization was covered up by a compliant congress, complicit senate intelligence committee, and not a single member of the oversight called it out. Now, Term-3 Obama steps back in to continue the cover up and continue the weaponization.
Hopefully, you can now see the scale of the problem that surrounds us with specific citation for what has taken place. What I just explained to you above is not conspiracy theory; it is admitted fact that anyone can look upon. Yet….
Have you seen this mentioned anywhere? Have you seen this called out by anyone in Congress? Have you seen anyone in media (ally or adversary) call this out? Have you seen any member of the Judicial Branch stand up and say wait, what is taking place is not okay? Have you seen a single candidate for elected office point this out? Have you seen anyone advising a candidate to point this out?
This is our current status. It is not deniable. The truth exists regardless of our comfort.
Not a single person in power will say openly what has taken place. They are scared of the Fourth Branch. The evidence of what has taken place is right there in front of our face. The words, actions and activities of those who participated in this process are not deniable, in fact most of it is on record.
There are only two members of the Gang of Eight who have existed in place from January 2007 (the real beginning of Obama’s term, two years before he took office when the Congress flipped). Only two members of the G08 have been consistently in place from January of 2007 to right now, today. All the others came and went, but two members of the Gang of Eight have been part of that failed and collapsed oversight throughout the past 15 years, Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell.
♦ TECHNOLOGY – On a global scale – the modern intelligence gathering networks are now dependent on data collection to execute their intelligence missions. In the digital age nations have been executing various methods to gather that data. Digital surveillance has replaced other methods of interception. Those surveillance efforts have resulted in a coalescing of regional data networks based on historic multi-national relationships.
We have a recent frame of reference for the “U.S. data collection network” within the NSA. Through the allied process the Five Eyes nations all rely on the NSA surveillance database (U.K, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and U.S.) The NSA database provides the digital baseline for intelligence operations in defense of our allies. The portals into the NSA database are essentially an assembly of allies in like-minded ideological connection to the United States.
Unfortunately, there have been some revelations about the NSA database being used to monitor our allies, like in the example of Germany and surveillance on Angela Merkel’s phone. As long as “the good guys” are operating honorably, allies of the United States can feel confident about having protection from the NSA surveillance of global digital data. We warn our friends if we detect something dangerous etc.
The U.S. has nodes on communication pipelines to intercept and extract data. We have also launched hundreds, perhaps thousands, of satellites to conduct surveillance and gather up data. All of this data is fed into the NSA database where it is monitored (presumably) as a national security mechanism, and in defense of our allies.
However, what about data collection or data networks that are outside the NSA database? What do our enemies do? The NSA database is just one intelligence operation of digital surveillance amid the entire world, and we do not allow access by adversaries we are monitoring. So what do they do? What do our allies do who might not trust the United States due to past inconsistencies, ie. the Middle East?
The answers to those questions highlight other data collection networks. So, a brief review of the major players is needed.
♦ CHINA – China operates their own database. They, like the NSA, scoop up data for their system. Like us, China launches satellites and deploys other electronic data collection methods to download into their database. This is why the issues of electronic devices manufactured in China becomes problematic. Part of the Chinese data collection system involves the use of spyware, hacking and extraction.
Issues with Chinese communication company Huawei take on an added dimension when you consider the goal of the Chinese government to conduct surveillance and assemble a network of data to compete with the United States via the NSA. Other Chinese methods of surveillance and data-collection are less subversive, as in the examples of TicTok and WeChat. These are Chinese social media companies that are scraping data just like the NSA scrapes data from Facebook, Twitter and other Silicon Valley tech companies. [ Remember, the Intelligence Branch is a public-private partnership. ]
♦ RUSSIA – It is very likely that Russia operates their own database. We know Russia launches satellites, just like China and the USA, for the same purposes. Russia is also very proficient at hacking into other databases and extracting information to store and utilize in their own network. The difference between the U.S., China and Russia is likely that Russia spends more time on the hacking aspect because they do not generate actual technology systems as rapidly as the U.S. and China.
The most recent database creation is an outcome of an ally having to take action because they cannot rely on the ideology of the United States remaining consistent, as the administrations ping-pong based on ideology.
♦ SAUDI ARABIA – Yes, in 2016 we discovered that Saudi Arabia was now operating their own intelligence data-gathering operation. It would make sense, given the nature of the Middle East and the constant fluctuations in political support from the United States. It is a lesson the allied Arab community and Gulf Cooperation Council learned quickly when President Obama went to Cairo in 2009 and launched the Islamist Spring (Arab Spring) upon them.
I have no doubt the creation of the Saudi intelligence network was specifically because the Obama administration started supporting radical Islamists within the Muslim Brotherhood and threw fuel on the fires of extremism all over the Arab world.
Think about it., What would you do if you were Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, Kuwait, the UAE, Jordan, Oman or Yemen and you knew the United States could just trigger an internal uprising of al-Qaeda, ISIS and the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood to seek your destruction?
Without a doubt, those urgent lessons from 2009, 2010, 2011 triggered the formation of the Arab Intelligence Network as a network to defend itself with consistency. They assembled the network and activated it in 2017 as pictured above.
♦ Israel – Along a similar outlook to the Arab network, no doubt Israel operates an independent data collection system as a method of protecting itself from ever-changing U.S. politics amid a region that is extremely hostile to its very existence. Like the others, Israel launches proprietary satellites, and we can be sure they use covert methods to gather electronic data just like the U.S. and China.
As we have recently seen in the Pegasus story, Israel creates spyware programs that are able to track and monitor cell phone communications of targets. The spyware would not work unless Israel had access to some network where the phone meta-data was actually stored. So yeah, it makes sense for Israel to operate an independent intelligence database.
♦ Summary: As we understand the United States Intelligence Branch of government as the superseding entity that controls the internal politics of our nation, we also must consider that multiple nations have the same issue. There are major intelligence networks around the world beside the NSA “Five-Eyes” database. China, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Israel all operate proprietary databases deploying the same tools and techniques for assembly.
The geopolitical conflict that has always existed has now shifted into a digital battle-space. The Intelligence Agencies from these regions are now operating as the backbone of the government that uses them and has become dependent on them. [<- Reread that].
Once you accept the digital-era intelligence apparatus of China, Russia, Saudi-Arabia, The United States and Israel, are now the primary national security mechanisms for stabilization of government; then you accept the importance of those intelligence operations.
Once you understand how foundational those modern intelligence operations have become for the stability and continuity of those governments…… then you begin to understand just how the United States intelligence community became more important than the government that created it.
From that point it is then critical to understand that domestic intelligence operations are underway to monitor the electronic communication of American citizens inside our own country. YOU are under surveillance. The parents who confront school boards are under surveillance. The political operatives inside the FBI are monitoring everyone who comes onto the radar, that is why the National School Boards Association asked the White House, then the DOJ, to have the FBI start targeting parents. Are things making sense now?
♦ Public Private Partnership – The modern Fourth Branch of Government is only possible because of a Public-Private partnership with the intelligence apparatus. You do not have to take my word for it, the partnership is so brazened they have made public admissions.
The biggest names in Big Tech announced in June their partnership with the Five Eyes intelligence network, ultimately controlled by the NSA, to: (1) monitor all activity in their platforms; (2) identify extremist content; (3) look for expressions of Domestic Violent Extremism (DVE); and then, (4) put the content details into a database where the Five Eyes intelligence agencies (U.K., U.S., Australia, Canada, New Zealand) can access it.
Facebook, Twitter, Google and Microsoft are all partnering with the intelligence apparatus. It might be difficult to fathom how openly they admit this, but they do. Look at this sentence in the press release (emphasis mine):
[…] “The Group will use lists from intelligence-sharing group Five Eyes adding URLs and PDFs from more groups, including the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters and neo-Nazis.”
Think about that sentence structure very carefully. They are “adding to” the preexisting list…. admitting the group (aka Big Tech) already have access to the the intelligence-sharing database… and also admitting there is a preexisting list created by the Five Eyes consortium.
Obviously, who and what is defined as “extremist content” will be determined by the Big Tech insiders themselves. This provides a gateway, another plausible deniability aspect, to cover the Intelligence Branch from any oversight.
When the Intelligence Branch within government wants to conduct surveillance and monitor American citizens, they run up against problems due to the Constitution of the United States. They get around those legal limitations by sub-contracting the intelligence gathering, the actual data mining, and allowing outside parties (contractors) to have access to the central database.
The government cannot conduct electronic searches (4th amendment issue) without a warrant; however, private individuals can search and report back as long as they have access. What is being admitted is exactly that preexisting partnership. The difference is that Big Tech will flag the content from within their platforms, and now a secondary database filled with the extracted information will be provided openly for the Intelligence Branch to exploit.
The volume of metadata captured by the NSA has always been a problem because of the filters needed to make the targeting useful. There is a lot of noise in collecting all data that makes the parts you really want to identify more difficult to capture. This new admission puts a new massive filtration system in the metadata that circumvents any privacy protections for individuals.
Previously, the Intelligence Branch worked around the constitutional and unlawful search issue by using resources that were not in the United States. A domestic U.S. agency, working on behalf of the U.S. government, cannot listen on your calls without a warrant. However, if the U.S. agency sub-contracts to say a Canadian group, or foreign ally, the privacy invasion is no longer legally restricted by U.S. law.
What was announced in June 2021 is an alarming admission of a prior relationship along with open intent to define their domestic political opposition as extremists.
July 26 (Reuters) – A counterterrorism organization formed by some of the biggest U.S. tech companies including Facebook (FB.O) and Microsoft (MSFT.O) is significantly expanding the types of extremist content shared between firms in a key database, aiming to crack down on material from white supremacists and far-right militias, the group told Reuters.
Until now, the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism’s (GIFCT) database has focused on videos and images from terrorist groups on a United Nations list and so has largely consisted of content from Islamist extremist organizations such as Islamic State, al Qaeda and the Taliban.
Over the next few months, the group will add attacker manifestos – often shared by sympathizers after white supremacist violence – and other publications and links flagged by U.N. initiative Tech Against Terrorism. It will use lists from intelligence-sharing group Five Eyes, adding URLs and PDFs from more groups, including the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters and neo-Nazis.
The firms, which include Twitter (TWTR.N) and Alphabet Inc’s (GOOGL.O) YouTube, share “hashes,” unique numerical representations of original pieces of content that have been removed from their services. Other platforms use these to identify the same content on their own sites in order to review or remove it. (read more)
The influence of the Intelligence Branch now reaches into our lives, our personal lives.
[The Intercept] – […] Behind closed doors, and through pressure on private platforms, the U.S. government has used its power to try to shape online discourse. According to meeting minutes and other records appended to a lawsuit filed by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, a Republican who is also running for Senate, discussions have ranged from the scale and scope of government intervention in online discourse to the mechanics of streamlining takedown requests for false or intentionally misleading information.
“Platforms have got to get comfortable with gov’t. It’s really interesting how hesitant they remain,” Microsoft executive Matt Masterson, a former DHS official, texted Jen Easterly, a DHS director, in February.
In a March meeting, Laura Dehmlow, an FBI official, warned that the threat of subversive information on social media could undermine support for the U.S. government. Dehmlow, according to notes of the discussion attended by senior executives from Twitter and JPMorgan Chase, stressed that “we need a media infrastructure that is held accountable.” (read more)
In the decades before 9/11/01 the intelligence apparatus intersected with government, influenced government, and undoubtedly controlled many institutions with it. The legislative oversight function was weak and growing weaker, but it still existed and could have been used to keep the IC in check. However, after the events of 9/11/01, the short-sighted legislative reactions opened the door to allow the surveillance state to weaponize against domestic enemies.
[…] The extent to which the DHS initiatives affect Americans’ daily social feeds is unclear. During the 2020 election, the government flagged numerous posts as suspicious, many of which were then taken down, documents cited in the Missouri attorney general’s lawsuit disclosed. And a 2021 report by the Election Integrity Partnership at Stanford University found that of nearly 4,800 flagged items, technology platforms took action on 35 percent — either removing, labeling, or soft-blocking speech, meaning the users were only able to view content after bypassing a warning screen. The research was done “in consultation with CISA,” the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
Prior to the 2020 election, tech companies including Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Discord, Wikipedia, Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Verizon Media met on a monthly basis with the FBI, CISA, and other government representatives. According to NBC News, the meetings were part of an initiative, still ongoing, between the private sector and government to discuss how firms would handle misinformation during the election. (keep reading)
After the Patriot Act was triggered, not coincidentally only six weeks after 9/11, a slow and dangerous fuse was lit that ends with the intelligence apparatus being granted a massive amount of power. Simultaneously the mission of the intelligence community now encompassed monitoring domestic threats as defined by the people who operate the surveillance system.
The problem with assembled power is always what happens when a Machiavellian network takes control over that power and begins the process to weaponize the tools for their own malicious benefit. That is exactly what the network of President Barack Obama did.
The Obama network took pre-assembled intelligence weapons (we should never have allowed to be created) and turned those FBI, DOJ-NSD, DHS and ODNI weapons into political tools for his radical and fundamental change. The target was the essential fabric of our nation.
Ultimately, this corrupt political process gave power to create the Fourth Branch of Government, the Intelligence Branch and a massive nationwide surveillance state. From that perspective the fundamental change was successful.
This is the scale of corrupt political compromise on both sides of the DC dynamic that we are up against. Preserving this surveillance system, a public-private partnership, is also what removing Donald Trump was all about…. The targeting of President Trump in order to preserve the system, the system that was weaponized during the Obama administration, is what the actions of the DOJ, FBI and DHS are all about.
What would powerful people in DC do to stop the American people from finding this out?
Last point…. The Twitter Files represent a gateway of discovery into how government assisted creating social media “Oligarchical Systems.” Surveillance and control systems within social media, delivering mutual benefits called public-private partnerships were formed.
Readers here are months ahead of where the arc of this story is destined. However, oligarchical beneficiaries will always defend the system against rogue oligarchs who become a threat.
In part, this explains why there are major inconsistencies in the public narrative as it swirls around Elon Musk and Twitter.
How could a businessman, an entrepreneur like Elon Musk, spend $44 billion, that’s BILLION, on an enterprise without knowing the basic outline of how that enterprise was operating. In a world of financial due diligence, on a scale of this size, the contradictions do not make sense.
Yet, if we are to take Elon Musk at his word, he had no idea that DHS operates control portals into the network. He also had no idea about James Baker working as Twitter legal counsel and carrying such a massive conflict of interest. Additionally, Musk claimed to have no idea that Perkins Coie was legally representing Twitter.
How does an owner/operator take ownership of an organization and not know these senior executive issues? Reconcile these questions, and we begin to reconcile a background of activity that even Mr. Musk may not know about. The alternative explanation is much more nefarious and involves Musk as a willing participant.
I’m not sure how to wake people up to the dangers inherent in this newly admitted White House “cybersecurity strategy,” but the clarity of purpose is transparent to those who have followed this construct. We need more trumpet!… and from there we can start talking about deconstructing it.

How afraid should one be if they have had a previous security clearance and have been present -just present – at certain events? Oh, and happen to worship at the Traditional Latin Mass?
Depending on the events that person was in attendance will determine the risk factor.
A: Fear not!
If the person worship at the Traditional Latin Mass they should “Be Not Afraid!”.
Coup d’états have consequences.
Indeed, let’s hope it happens very soon before we’re buried under nuclear rubble. FJB MAGA
How can we make this happen? I am so sick and tired of sitting on the sidelines as our nation is destroyed. Europe, and other nations are rising up in the streets. Let’s go USA!
It’s time to write that book SD….
.
Then we need to perform some fact checks:
In ‘The Trap’ portion of this dissertation — and in some of Sundance’s previous writings — I keep seeing Sen Reid being given somewhat of an ‘out’ for any involvement of the Trump targeting.
This is done in the eighth paragraph under ‘The Trap’ section whereupon 2015 is said to roll around . . . and Harry Reid had “left the Senate”.
My only thought that Sundance would put this in ‘The Trap’ is perhaps due to the timing of Harry Reid announcing his retirement.
The term he was serving when he announced his retirement was not over until Jan. 3, 2017. He was still in leadership, so still a member of the Gang of 8 that were supposedly apprised that an investigation had been instigated in July, 2016.
And speaking of dates, there appears to be a repeating one in association with a few sources Sundance has cited in various articles, to wit July 26.
Is there supposed to be some significance attached, I wonder . . .?
We have George HW and George W Bush to thank for all of this. Their presidencies set up China as a world power and the surveillance state.
The damage that family did to our country is incalculable.
Lest we forget
BClinton got CCP money and they got classified military technology.
Obama the foreign citizen (1 or 2 countries? by daddy and stepdad) had Joe the paid CCP agent ….
Wherefore Nixon?
True – and we haven’t seen it all yet. It’s just getting started.
Watch and pray. God will not forget us.
As long as we don’t forget Him.
They did plenty but this plan was put in play over 100 years ago. As is China’s 100 year plan to conquer the US.
I must be older but the Clintons seem to be the root of most of this evil!
They were only puppets for the NWO. Daddy Bush mentioned it years ago and his daddy helped and financed the Nazi’s. There was once a day that if you had that kind of a tie…there would be no way you would ever get into government here in this country. Bush’s, Clinton’s, Obama’s …even before them…most belong and were connected to the same people, group and “mafia” that are in our face today wanting us to eat bugs, give up freedom in the name of climate, and send America’s riches to the most corrupt country on the planet…Ukraine. Which is their command and control center for all they operate including the money laundering, the keeping intake of the Nazi’s, the bio labs and I for one believe that they also run child sex trafficking rings out of here as well. Not just for the sex…but for their “fountain of youth” nutrition ! Yes…they are sick entities. They are not people and should not be given the decency of being called humans. This “mafia” needs to be brought down…and Ukraine IS a huge part of that. This is why they are so animate about protecting it.
We have Clinton to thank for giving China favored nation trading status, and WTO membership.
The Constitution only works if ALL AGREE to follow it. If that does not apply or all do not agree then there has to be a reckoning of some kind to put everything back in balance. The military is the only entity that can do that at this time and Obama has deconstructed our military into a structure that will not react to protecting the citizens of the USA who want to follow the Constitution. Obama has gotten rid of the military leaders who would follow their vow to protect the USA and its Constitution. My opinion only though the Flag officers have stated that they would let our enemies know of our nations plans in advance of any action. Treason . Death by firing squad. Where are our true leaders. Not just Trump but the fired military leadership. We need a new dictator??? or resident in the WH.??
This article is truly frightening. I would rather die now protecting my family from Obama rather than pass and leave my family defenseless to a government that needs slaves. I love my daughter and grand-daughters way to much. What can a little guy like me do other than what I have been doing like contacting Congress and let my opinion be known on the few sites i follow.
Stand firm, Paul! We must always hold fast to the fact that God equips the called. He doesn’t call the equipped. God, through His Holy Spirit, will let you know when the time comes for you to stand. We are all “little guys”. We are all trying to understand and persevere and trying to throw sand in the machine every chance we get… every opportunity that arises.
I never thought that I could be imprisoned for doing the right things… well, so be it.
Be vigilant. Fortify. SPEAK OUT. Pray and DO NOT BACK DOWN.
These leftist clown shows and the cowards who acquiesce to them – are defeated foes. Remind them of God’s Word every chance you can. They can’t withstand it. They cower like the satanist pond scum they are! We crush the devil with the heel of our feet. We stand firmly and proclaim THIS GROUND belongs TO THE LORD!
GOD HATES COWARDS – He puts them ahead of murderers and sexually immoral… et al… in the list of the those who will be thrown into the eternal lake of fire.
Revelation 21:7 (NIV)
Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.
Revelation 21:8 (NIV)
But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
Exactly!
… But! … The One True Living God of Heaven… HE Has Promised.
For I Know Whom I Have Believed, and He Is Able To Keep That Which I’ve Committed Unto Him Against That Day…
Forsaking All I Trust Him
“HE Has Promised.”
He has promised what? To whom? Where specifically?
The ones that believe in Him.
Seek Him through His Word in the Bible.
My 3rd question is related to the 1st and 2nd
Reread & answer the first 2 questions?
And what do any of them have to do with politics or America.
ScarletRedRose is posting in the vein of Psalm 46: 6-7:
The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
WP, America will fall – as all nations and kingdoms will. In Whom do you place your hope? What answer do you offer in these times for the lost and broken and discouraged seeking hope?
The full scripture of Psalm 46:
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Come and see what the Lord has done,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.
He makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields[d] with fire.
He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”
The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Please begin to read the Bible. I would suggest the new King James Version. Don’t rely on other people please read the word of God for yourself so you could begin to understand and ask God to give you insight into his word he will do that.
You can only hope these people who did this to us DIE an nasty painful DEATH!!!!
Amen
💯
If their consciences are seared, they are already in hell. They are like dead men walking among us.
The reason for a national divorce has just become more pressing. If or because the jucicial system of courts and judges/Justices will not stand with us against this un-Constitutional action, I do not see any way to escape the destiny they are manufacturing for we the People across the globe.
You remind me of a point that needs to be made in addition to my comment below.
Many look at this as government controlling what is on the internet, particularly shutting down/controlling speech they are not in favor of.
There is no way these people will only be spying on and controlling information on private citizens. This will also be used to keep on eye on those in government to be sure they stay in line.
Judges, courts, politicians, bureaucrats.
What happened with LTG Flynn should make that clear.
I, for one, will not concede any ground.
All this talk of “national divorce” has to be stopped. Not only will your tormentors never leave you alone to live in peace unless you force them, there is zero chance of such a separation happening in any sense — practically, economically, culturally, or in any other fashion. Put all such thoughts out of your mind. That way madness lies.
I completely, wholeheartedly disagree. So-called national divorce is not only the morally justified thing to do (from all angles involved,) it’s also 100% inevitable. What the right-wing should be doing (other than working on a Texas succession plan,) is finding ways to nudge places like California and New York out of the voluntary union of these united States.
The problem with that is these places are not solvent, or would soon be insolvent. China would happily cover their debts to ultimately enslave California and New York. We’d have hostile forces and ideology on our doorstep.
Not to mention, there are valuable US assets in both states. No, California and New York do not just get to leave. If we assert this, then the same can be asserted for Texas or any other state.
A better approach, perhaps, is having enclaves split from their states and join politically compatible states (as in parts of Oregon splitting off to join Idaho). Balkanization.
Extreme federalism is the antidote, many conclude and will pursue.
I happed to see Wayne Allyn Root’s column for March 3, 2023. ~Five most important stories in the history of America.~
[I apologize for posting from another column, but W.A. Root’s understanding of our country ~might be copacetic with TheConservativeTreehouse.] Here’s the quote from Root’s #4. =
“STORY #4: Biden and Mayor Pete’s Response to the Ohio Train Derailment Catastrophe is More Proof of Rigged and Stolen Elections.”
“I believe the shocking lack of interest, or empathy by Biden, Mayor Pete, or the EPA, for the citizens of Ohio is more proof our elections are rigged and stolen. … The “tell” is they didn’t even try to fake it. They didn’t even bother to act like they care about the worst environmental disaster in our country’s history. … They couldn’t care less about white, working class, or Midwest votes. Why? Do they know the fix is in?”
********************************************
Might be time to become a prepper, and live in a secure red state. = me. ……. +TheConservativeTreehouse: “…what was that moment in your life when you realized the social, political and/or media narrative, was not at all what it was presented to be?”
Red states are not guaranteed to be secure. Look at Ohio, run by a corrupt GOP and a weak governor who is establishment through and through. Even he has had an ineffectual response to the people of East Palestine. He has parroted the line he was given, as he did with the plandemic. He has not even declared a state disaster for the people of East Palestine.
Which red state governors have stood up for their citizens held as political prisoners, with their due process rights cancelled, since the Jan 6th civil disobedience action? I don’t know of any. Which red state governors have denounced the 2020 alleged fraud and stood with we the People in questioning that election? I know there were a couple of suits. Even Abbott in Texas is only making weak moves against the border invasion.
If you know one red state government that you can be confident will stand against the federal overreach, I would be interested in knowing who that is.
Excellent points. And I know Colorado, though officially deep blue, is red, but I don’t know how many of the other “blue” states are that way. In some ways it’s better to live where you know you’re under attack than where you are but you don’t realize until too late. There is a lively pushback movement in Colorado.
Yes, but the leftists in Boulder recently had Polis ban plastic bags in stores, and went from that overreach right to legislation to ban assault weapons.
Colorado is lost as long as mail in ballots are used.
Yes, but I make a point when asked about plastic bags of loudly saying something like, “What I want is not to have my governor treat me like an idiot and tax me for it.” Almost always gets nods and smiles of agreement from everyone near me. It gives me a chance to, in one sentence, get everyone in earshot to agree that Polis was wrong.
Colorado elections are indeed lost as long as mail-in ballots, and more importantly, election machines (fraud is far easier to do and harder to prove in the machines) are used. However, there are all kinds of ways to be ungovernable, and more people are waking up all the time to the realization that we have nothing to lose by fighting back, because we’ve lost all our rights already, but we might be able to grab Colorado back before they kill us.
The leftists in the Uniparty are on the defensive. They are trying to pass laws left, right, and center, but they can see people have stopped the unquestioning obedience to visibly unconstitutional laws. (How many Coloradans do you know who are actually going to turn in their guns if this gun law passes?)
None, as mine are already out of the state. Hopefully I will soon be following them.
Even our own newly elected Gov. Sarah H Sanders, is proving to probably be a tool of the DS. In her rebuttal to the State of the Union mumblings by Joe the Jester, she failed to mention DJT by name, ONCE, in her rebuttal!! She would not be where she is were it not for DJT.
At a meeting here last week on return to paper ballots, one of the people who came to discuss such, confirmed, that she apparently ‘drank the Kool Aid’ either to get elected or when elected, or maybe both. Of course, her daddy was a bit of the same, quite the politician to say or do what was necessary.
The Arkansas majority GOP is also very corrupt, and behind the move to go back to paper ballots now, funded by EX&S, no less.
Bottom line,,,when do you think they will start rounding us up, and with DeSantis having drunk the kool-aid, is Florida even safe anymore
“when do you think they will start rounding us up?
Anytime they want 😕
I think if they could yet, they would have already. They lie a lot, if you hadn’t noticed! I think we should be very concerned about what they are doing, but they want us to be terrified of them, so we had better make up our minds to fear only God.
They are already breaking down doors, persecuting and arresting the innocent, misbranding white people as terrorists for being white people.
Then there’s the poor J6 prisoners.
Why round up everyone when they make can make well-publicized examples of a few to keep the majority in line.
It’s the historically proven tactics of tyrants.
That was last year. Now they’re being sued about all those things.
I was speaking up in school boards last year, and the only thing they’ve managed to do to me yet, they had to take back. And I am speaking up more places now. Join us!
That works both ways. Maybe that list further up in the article is a good place to start regarding examples.
There will be no need to round anybody up if you think of this policy leading to a digital ID and tied to a social credit score.
These fascists will have all kinds of ways to turn your life off at a whim.
Also for LearningAsIGo above, I heard on the radio today something about the Denver City Council requiring all new commercial buildings to be all electric. Heating, cooling, hot water, etc.
The radio host commented it would likely lead to all new private buildings requiring the same.
Polis will make Denver a “smart city”, currently underway. During the lockdowns Denver was busy tearing up streets running cables everywhere. Look up! Pretending to be street lights, surveillance has been and is currently being installed every thirty feet to monitor citizens. Look Up!
For a while, at least until Nov 2024.
Defund the Thought Police:
I would add the Dept. of Education to that list, among others.
Agree with you wholeheartedly Taffy3
The DOE is just where you start. With such an unblemished record of failure, the inability to at least abolish that one will indicate the certainty of failure elsewhere.
Of course Gaetz is correct, but how on earth is he going to fight this? There are thousands of those zombies and they are fighting for their lives. The entirety of the Swamp and the media will be on their side.
I see no way out of this.
It’s all very scary
So many people are cowards that I don’t see a way out
They have silenced so many voices Breitbart, Rush, Scalia…
The message is clear
How many people have been arkancid?
So many people are cowards that I don’t see a way out
No spine = no country.
Good times create weak men
I’m also surprised how many people are clueless. They don’t know and many also don’t want to know. If you try to tell them about it, you hit a stone wall of resistance and annoyance.
None so blind as those who refuse to see.
Conservatives preach to the choir, if the 18-34 apolitical or liberal knew what you know, the world would change. How do you propose anyone speak to them? Oh yeah, do what I did….
An overriding theme of the WEF, globalists, elites, IC, and Uniparty ™️ is that they are superior and our “betters”. In their superiority and “betterness” constitutions, laws, traditions and truth, no longer exist if they imped the Agenda.
I will leave you to ponder this quote from the book Why Does God allow Evil ? by Clay Jones and whether or not you think this is where we are headed.
“… belief in one’s innate superiority is almost always the father of genocide.”
Yes yes, ego and a false belief in their ability to control are surely the downfall of many.
Republicans: “What, me worry?”
Bring back ham radio.
?? It didn’t go anywhere. Proud 35yr ham here.
73’s
The Lovely Nellie Ohr is 100% for that.
Just a heads’ up, the US government is in the process of creating a map/record of every ham operator as well as every home vegetable/fruit garden. Very ominous signs of their dark plans.
Maybe time to resurrect Radio Clandestine.
The rabbit hole seems bottomless. Perhaps at this stage, those not of the left should start talking loudly about all the ways WE can use this nefarious state creation to prevent further leftisms. Monitor the dems for any talk about esg, gender, race etc and put them on lists. Create and release Chyna dossiers that reveal the cooperation of dem leaders with the CCP. Arrest and incarcerate those in the vicinity of antifa antics. Won’t have to bother with a trial.
I can’t think of what else to do.
Pray
I thought we already had one? (Sarcasm)
Perfect!
As usual.
Ty my friend. I appreciate it. Compliments from my fellow Treepers, and especially those who are on the same wavelength so to speak are especially nice to hear.
Everytime I read this I get more “ah hah” moments! Started with the “Patriot Act”
When I forwarded your post, I used the headline “Biden administration announcement formalizes the terms of our enslavement”
The timing of this is suspect. Yes, it is being wheeled out now that the TwitterFiles have shown the spying for what it is, but the media has mostly ignored what has been reported on that, so I don’t believe that is the main reason for this policy.
I suspect they got this policy out there so when the Congressional hearings into TwitterFiles and Weaponization finally understand what is going on, the media will be well primed for the narrative by the Deep State.
Their narrative will be that we live in such dangerous, extremist times that a few agencies started coordinating, and it just ballooned from there.
Now we are just making the policy formal, so shut up.
The narrative spin will ignore the huge number of people censored and banned because their opinions (correct opinions/reporting) were not in state favor at the time.
Any congressional investigation into this weaponization needs to remember that, and push hard for those facts to come out.
It wasn’t just COVID opinions being shut down. There was massive censoring of election fraud opinion/reporting, same with Ukraine, same with Brexit, same with Hunter, same with Biden corruption with China, same with government corruption, etc.
How many lives were lost because contrary medical opinions on COVID were banned for 2+ years?
I will not share my thoughts on the “gang of eight”, because of Menagerie’s cautionary post a few weeks ago, about not mentioning anything that will get this platform shut down, about adverse conditions that could be applied to political types, because of their lack of Integrity, the Abrogation of their Oath, which most people here could also think of.
Please publish a book already, SD.
Musks gosh gee whiz I had no idea shtick was a tell.
Mr Baphomet was not honest.
What we most likely witnessed was a limited hangout.
Ask yourself, how many people in my influence need to see this and how many have I shared it with?
Email it, tweet it, text it, print it. Get it out and start the conversations.
That screenshot sounded an awful lot to me like “we had to destroy the village to save it.”
Just sayin’.
The Chicoms hacked into the federal employee database a number of years ago and made off with employment records of countless federal employees. These morons now want us the believe they’ll protect everybody. There are things individuals can do to muck up this system, and we should begin immediately to do so. Use your noggins folks. You’ll figure it out.
I remember that one with the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). They sent me of those notices that my information may have been compromised when their database was breached.
Just how many past and present individuals possessing security clearances had their personal information compromised? Potentially all of them up to that date, I am thinking.
It’s right there up front in the Bible… who can resist the forbidden fruit?
They have gone into hyper drive to overwhelm and destroy the masses. I have little faith, trust or confidence in the GoPe to counteract this attack. There are too many (especially in Senate) who are whole agreement with this destruction of our liberties. After listening to Trump’s speech tonight I believe he understands and knows the level of desperateness they have gotten to complete this destruction before 2024.
They can feel that they are so close to total achievement of their destructive goals that they have rush along.
Biden-Harris Administration. In plain sight.
“In sum, in a cyberwar scenario, the U.S. government may not have control over a very strategic area of its military operations — cyber.” from “7 days Before Obama Gives Away Internet & National Security”, Jody Westby in Forbes, 9/24/2016. A strategic step in giving away US sovereignty. A red-line?
Freedom and democracy are only words to be bandied about to accuse conservatives of violating. Complete censorship is not far away.
In Ukraine, the “democracy” we are supporting with billions has just instituted total Internet censorship.
Two days ago, a centralized system of automatic blocking of Internet resources was launched in Ukraine. Every 15 minutes, the corresponding list of banned sites will be updated on the servers of Ukrainian operators. By March 2, it had to be installed by all Ukrainian Internet service providers.
In addition to blocking access to prohibited sites, it will also collect data about users who try to circumvent the ban.
Information about violators will be promptly sent to the relevant authorities.
Thank you for the in depth investigation, evaluation, & writeup of our current situation. Pretty depressing we’ve come to this.
“The Obama network took pre-assembled intelligence weapons (we should never have allowed to be created) and turned those FBI, DOJ-NSD, DHS and ODNI weapons into political tools for his radical and fundamental change.”
So we have evidence of 1 of the perps behind this (i.e., Obama). Any reason to not arrest & do a public trial of Obama, his minions, & his money sources using our own vetted police & judicial folks? From what’s described here, high treason has been done & condoned by the Senate too. Start with Obama, Pelosi, & McConnell. Historically, the punishment for treason is final & well known. They’ve violated their oaths of offices. Punishment must also go through to the private corporations that enabled/cooperated (e.g., disband the corporations & jail time & fines for the BODs & executive officers). No exceptions. The approach to handle this locally as I see it (in WA St) will not work because the election system has been corrupted as have both parties. I suspect this is the case with over half of the other states. I see no peaceful solution to this debacle.
Part of me want to suggest We The People hire a bunch of vetted assassins & take them (i.e., the “Intelligence Branch”) out quick before they can do any further damage to our nation. The danger in that is it could leave us vulnerable to other countries attacking us while we’re doing “cleanup.” So the operation would have to be done in stealth & quick.
The ministry of truth is getting the band back together!
Nina!
Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!
Skynet seems to be larger than we thought. Maybe we need to map the entire information highway to see where it is most vulnerable. Perhaps we could ask the Russians for assistance.
I heard someone talking about the destruction of a glass building with one well-placed artillery round, perhaps that applies to other structures.
Cooling is the biggest problem for server farms, overheating can be catastrophic.
Communication of stored data is the key to surveillance. Perhaps we should talk about this.
If the Pulitzer prize actually meant something, Sundance should have about 10 by now. This is next level indepth investigative journalism. Facts presented in proper context leaving final judgement to the reader. No agenda.
Tyrants rule by lies, and when the lies are no longer believed, force. If the tyrants thought we still believed the BS they are shoveling they wouldn’t worry about forcing the narrative. Once you have to force your narrative, nobody is going to trust anything you do. That is where we are standing.
Congress better start reigning in all these unconstitutional “executive” dictates. When the Dems spout constantly about Their Democracy they mean it literally. You and I mean nothing to them. We either actually start fighting back soon, or we are toast. They have stated as much. We already have nothing to lose, it’s fight or die.
“How We Enslave Ourselves”
(Academy of Ideas)
Spectre is real. Soma is real.
AI weaponry and genetic weaponry have been deployed against the human species and are operative now.
So far, nothing Q said has been wrong.
Hard to keep up with all the “conspiracy theories proven true” these days…
Trust Sessions.
Trust Kansas.
The US, with all this surveillance, is weaker than ever economically. Any ledger noting all debts and promises to pay and the tax base illustrates a bankrupt country.
And then there is foreign influence, politicians and their families accepting monies for influence. With all this surveillance?
US is losing the war on its reserve currency with all this surveillance?
Barack Obama while POTUS tells a Russian leader, “tell Vlad I can do more after the election” and no investigation?
The Founders created the Constitution to keep our elected officials accountable as well as the agencies they oversee.
Congress is soo far off the rails, something needs to be done. They should be arguing publicly over every dollar taxed/spent, not passing huge spending bills which they have not read.
The Senate should go back to having representatives appointed by their States, not publicly elected. This would help decentralize power.
There is a blueprint here and it’s the Constitution.
Sleepwalking to oblivion.
Best analysis and breakdown by anybody. The problem is we’re out of time to fix it.
The large urban areas are the problem from what I gather. Here in Ontario Canada our Province is conservative but we have Toronto which is a huge city (by our metrics) and it poisons every election we have.
we are held hostage by the Leftists in Toronto. Many times we have talked about making Toronto a separate political entity.
how is there a solution? We know the Leftists never stop so give them their third world failed city states and leave the rest of us alone. I know it won’t happen but it is a sort of dream of mine…..
People Behind Biden Announce Creation of Formal National Surveillance State, Yet No One Seems Bothered
Perhaps because it is merely the codification of the Police State status quo, and codes are meaningless in a country without the Rule of Law anyway. Because the DOJ is part of this Tyranny, there is no one to gore Gore’s “no controlling legal authority”.
For example, Actual President Trump enforced Congress’s Immigration Laws and had the Border under control. The Installed Obiden Junta claims to be enforcing the very same Immigration Laws, yet has abolished our borders. The Code is meaningless. “What is law? The two lines beneath my signature,” said Saddam Hussein. And so says Barry Hussein.
This is another desperate act of treasonous Tyranny by criminals whose days are numbered. Selah.
“The way to tear this apart begins with STATE LEVEL election reform that blocks the Legislative Branch from coordinating with the Intelligence Branch.”
seems to me the only way to tear this apart and restore the republic we were bequeathed, is a military coup. followed by arrests, investigating committees, tribunals and executions
Who watches the watchers?
Related to the weaponization of the intel apparatus note the U.S. is removing the tail markings from its’ fleet of military transport aircraft. This looks like preparation for war to me. But more seriously some have posited that it also makes setting up false flags in the U.S. easier. Given the U.S. Governments history of false flags before major wars and the lack of enthusiasm of Americans for war in Ukraine, the neocons probably understand that a serious (false flag) event or three will be needed for their planned wars.
The success of the Vax campaign has left no doubts among the neocons as to the gullibility of most Americans.
https://aviationweek.com/defense-space/budget-policy-operations/usaf-mobility-aircraft-operating-without-most-markings-tail
Our intel agencies are merely writing the laws to retroactively process the surveillance data they’ve been collecting on Americans for decades. They must be ready to roll out something new to “manage the populace.”
I read every word. Thank you for sustaining this narrative.
This is treason and why they are so adamant about getting rid of the 1st and 2nd Amendments. God help us but ‘something wicked this way comes!’
