In roughly the past fifty years, the term “continuity of government” has been used with increased frequency describing how the United States of America, a constitutional republican system of government, contains internal mechanisms to protect the executive branch in the event of crisis, attack or disruption of leadership by adversaries.
The term ‘continuity of government‘ became much more common in the aftermath of 9-11-01 and the thunder shock of an al-Qaeda inspired terrorist attack in New York and Washington DC.
Within the very brief discussion period that led up to the 10-26-01 Patriot Act [pdf here], literally a structural reform of the entire domestic terrorist apparatus that created the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA), a bill only debated for a few weeks, the baseline was the enhanced ‘continuity of government‘ in the event of an emergency.
As we have exhaustively outlined on these pages, the outcome of the Patriot Act was to create a system where every American was now viewed by our federal government through the prism of the citizen being a potential terrorist threat.Β The federal government aligned all of our institutions and systems accordingly.
DHS was created to monitor American behavior, the TSA was created to scan American travelers, and the FBI was enhanced with resources to conduct surveillance despite our Fourth Amendment protections within our Constitution.Β Instead of the U.S. Govt protecting U.S. citizens from foreign threats, the Patriot Act changed the mission of government to protect itself from potential citizen threats.
In essence, We the People became the suspects, and all of the constitutional viewpoints within the FBI and Dept of Justice were modified to create monitoring systems.
The legislative branch was considered part of a this newly protected elite class of Americans, and the judicial branch deferred all scrutiny to the executive as long as they claimed, ‘national security.’Β The secret FISA court system would grant the agents surveillance power over U.S. citizens.
As the foundation of this new surveillance state was just being finalized, Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Eric Holder then entered government via the 2008 election, and weaponized this system to target their domestic political opposition.
However, there is also a second element to this ‘continuity of government’ that flows with the first premise.
The continuity of a very specific outlook by government.
The continuity of a very specific construct of government.
The continuity of a view within government of how government should operate. This is part of the continuity of government not discussed.
You can argue it was the viewpoint of a very specific type of government “continuity” that led to the opposition against Donald Trump by Democrats and Republicans.
Trump would be a disruptive influence if introduced into a continuation mission that did not like change.Β Β This ‘continuity’ mindset then established the justification for every institution and element of the bureaucracy, including almost all layers of the people who run them, to oppose Donald Trump.
By the time the 2016 election arrived, We the People had already been defined by the Patriot Act outcome as a threat to government.Β If we the people did not select the right kind of candidate who would be approved by the continuity system, then our selection would be rejected by all of the operators of that administrative system.Β Β That’s what happened.
Every move by the U.S. federal government, from 2016 to now, has been contrast against the backdrop of a new awakening and visible understanding.
We the People are the threat, and those who control the DC power centers that determine the continuity of government, will not accept any modification or diminishment of their mission.Β This is how they justify their conduct in very real terms, including through application of law.Β This is also why the people who operate these systems are very visible with their conduct and do not have any reservations about showing their omnipotent mindset.
From their perspective, they are doing what they do, running government how they run government, maintaining the continuity the system was designed to protect, and we are what they consider futile and irrelevant voices.
Both the Republican and Democrat leadership hold this same view.Β This “continuity of government” is the core of their UniParty alignment.
Here is where this understanding gets really interesting.Β In order to maintain this system, there has to be an internal monitoring system, a surveillance system to protect itself against any adversary.Β A domestic surveillance state has to exist as an outcome of the logical sequence.
Within this total surveillance state, the FBI is the federal agency – a national police force with a mission to run monitoring operations.Β Everyone is monitored, and in case anyone would raise objection to being monitored, the corporate media provide protection against criticism by saying the agencies doing the monitoring need to be independent.
As we plunge deeper and deeper into this weaponized surveillance state, if you engage in any conduct to avoid monitoring, you run the risk of being caught in the DHS surveillance sweep.Β You run the risk of becoming a DHS subject of interest, just like candidate Donald Trump – only smaller.Β If you choose to fight against accepting the weaponized surveillance state, you will be considered a DHS subject of interest – just like the J6 detainees.
When the FBI was recently fighting against the release of the FD-1023 report, outlining the Confidential Human Source (CHS) that gave evidence to the FBI against Joe Biden, people missed something.Β The DOJ/FBI reluctance to admit the FD-1023 report existed was not just about Joe Biden, it was about a surveillance process this reporting would reveal.
The confidential human source (CHS) was a person giving information to the FBI for their files.Β This is the library on congress.Β There are hundreds of thousands of these FD-1023 forms created, as CHS’s undercover agent employees (UAE’s) and a myriad of resources, are deployed in this surveillance system.
It’s the breadth of this surveillance system that leads to the FBI saying, “The safeguards the FBI placed on the production of this information are necessary to protect the safety of confidential sources and the integrity of sensitive investigations. Today’s release of the 1023 [form] – at a minimum – unnecessarily risks the safety of a confidential source.”
As noted by the Federalist Margot Cleveland, “During Wednesdayβs hours-long hearing, IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler both told lawmakers they had never seen the FD-1023. Significantly, Ziegler then stated: βThereβs things that are contained on that document that could further corroborate other information that we might be having an issue corroborating because it could be regarding a foreign official. So if we have information regarding that in a document or a witness, we can further corroborate later evidence.β
The reason the IRS agents were not aware of the CHS reports to the FBI, is because keeping the FD-1023 report hidden did not have as much to do with protecting Biden as it does with protecting this surveillance apparatus.
Who are all of these CHS’s and UAE’s like Igor Danchenko, Patrick Byrne, Azra Turk, Carter Page, Joseph Mifsud, Ray Epps, 1% Watchdog, etc. etc. etc?Β There is a massive surveillance apparatus underway monitoring everyone, including an assembly of files against sitting members of congress and political leadership.
Keep in mind, the FD-1023 reports are not blackmail, they are reports of conduct and action.Β Blackmail and/or leverage is an outcome of knowing information.Β The massive assembly of FD-1023 reports are the source information.Β This is a big part of the reason why FBI Director Christopher Wray initially denied there ever was an FD-1023 report.
In the bigger of the big pictures, this Joe and Hunter Biden story is the tip of an iceberg story about how the FBI is a domestic surveillance operation assembling files on everyone; that includes members of Congress and key political leadership that could advance to power.Β Why is all of this surveillance taking place?…
….Because it is a very specific type of Continuity of Government that must be maintained.
Don’t look at the Potemkin village we call Washington DC.
Look for the people behind the construct.
Look for the people who are using these files.
The George W. Bush, republucan, Patriot Act.
9/11 was America’s color revolution. She was conquered from within.
Where is American’s Putin?
I feel like 9/11 was when we really jumped ship into the whole diversity and inclusion BS. No matter how evil they (the Muslim terrorists) were and how horrific and evil 9/11 wasβ¦ we had people-elected officials bending over backwards preaching to us to not paint all Muslims with the same brush while we were removing dead bodies from the rubble!!! Yes, it (diversity-inclusion)was going on before thatβ¦but kicked into high gear when 9/11 happened so not to offend the offenders-radical Muslims. We bent over backwards to defend people that hate us and wish death upon us. Everyone then was suspect, everyone searched, everyone under surveillance because we couldnβt hurt their feelings, we couldnβt point out their crazy and evil and down that slippery slip we wentβ¦.at high speed and here we are. Total surveillance state and the corrupt politicians love it!!
the Illegal Republic Corruption Cookbook presents a delicious recipe for Crime Lifecycle Management
https://www.illegalrepublic.com/p/93-illegal-republic-corruption-cookbook
Totally agree. That same afternoon CNN showed live video of Muslims across the river in NJ celebrating the collapse of the Twin Towers. I saw it with my own eyes! Trump has mentioned the same thing and the media treated him like he had two heads. I watched CNN for hours waiting for them to show an update on the celebration when they announced that no one should hold ill feelings or target Muslims, that the attack was committed by a small group of deranged people. That became their mantra in the coming weeks & months. The video was never shown again and you can’t find it on any search. In my mind, that was the day that America died.
strange how all those things that people said ‘could never happen here’ ARE HAPPENING HERE, isn’t it?
Remember that crock of poop, the DHS will connect all the dots???? BS, Defund and disband this traitorous department.
Guilty as charged. My awakening has been like the stop motion replays on sports broadcasts.
A book was written by Sinclair Lewis in the 1930s with that title. A good read.
Sinclair was a leftist and as leftists always believe “right” means fascist which is totally incorrect. he and other leftists believed their fear was on the right, but that is a total fallacy. what is right of democrats is constitutional conservativsm and individual liberty. what is happening now is the establishment of a fascist monoparty (Democratic machine) and it is totally consumed by marxist ideology and totalitarian hive mind.
Agree, except (Democrat Machine) is actually a (Democrat/Republican GLOBALIST Machine) of corruption, death, starvation, murder, and dystopian living in their New World Disorder.
The most damning thing about the PATRIOT Act is that it “suddenly appeared.” No one can write that fast. The Act had been prepared months or even years in advance, and it took only “9/11” to cause it to be instantly enacted. Too bad that thousands of people had to die in two buildings that were demolitioned under their feet β with two airplanes as decoys. Fortunately, the emergency response team of New York City “somehow, knew” to be far away from Building 7 when it was blown.
But, “PATRIOT was no accident.” 9/11 was the distraction. PATRIOT was the payload.
Agree 100%. I believe 9/11 was an inside job, to justify the massive surveillance that was perpetrated on US citizens with the Patriot Act. Nothing patriotic about it. I found it hard to believe that a jet could penetrate numerous floors of concrete, steel beams reinforced with concrete, like a knife slicing through butter. The true evil is that they had no remorse for the innocent souls that were killed in their scheme, nor with the phony wars with Afghanistan and Iraq. The destruction of the US Constitution has been underway for a long time.
Here’s an interesting take on your “like a knife slicing through butter” comment…
How could a plane slice through the thick, thick steel beams of the WTC buildings and leave visible openings of where the wings sliced through the building like a knife slicing through butter, yet a few moments later when the “plane” flew into the Pentagon, there were no signs of wings smashing into the side of that building. Just a circular hole and no signs of wings or wing impact marks anywhere?
Lucy, you’ve got some ‘splaining to do!!!
True. Or where are photos of the debris the left by the plane at the Pentagon?
Whatever hit the pentagon, it hit exactly the area where the Pentagon Audit was in progress. The files and the Auditors almost seemed to be targets of the strike! (And Rumsfeld had just declared they couldn’t account for 2 Trillion dollars!) Odd, eh? Oh yeah, that outer wall there had recently been ‘reinforced’ with new construction. What was added in that wall during ‘construction’? Many other questions.
September 11: The New Pearl Harbor (Full Documentary)
A friend was in the pentagon when that plane hit. Air Force lt. colonel. He stated it sounded like a plane coming in as if he was on the runway.
I have become skeptical of everything now. Nothing off the table.
Like Sundance says information is information. Lie or no lie it is what it is. Now we need to do something (act) with what we see. I believe God has exposed this at this time we are here for just this time and if we are in Godβs will he will lead us to how to serve him.
Before last week I would have thought it is becoming time for everyone to see through all of this madness. Then last week I spent some time with a friend I have seen in a while and his is a conservative Christian, but he is so blue pilled there is no way he could even grasp that J6 was not a insurrection. Period will not think any further. Trump is an evil grab pussy made J6 happen, mean Tweet not even worthy of being president. But will admit the no wars good economy etc. Still Trump bad!
My gut says there needs to be more unequivocal evidence to undo the Blue Pilling of the American people. Not impossible, but soon there is going to be that moment when the light is turned on and Americans finally see the huge infestation of cockroaches.
H.D.
Red-pilling is a PROCESS, it takes TIME.
If you haven’t, I reccomend you read “the 5 stages of grief.”
Firstly, it explains this way our mind works can apply to events in our life where we LOSE something, not JUST death of a loved one.
We GRIEVE the loss of a job, a house or car, and in the case of “red pilling” a loss of our World view, of how we THOUGHT America and the world worked.
It also explains that we do not in an orderly fashion go through the 5 stages, but jump from one to another, back and forth as we process our loss.
“Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and ACCEPTANCE.
Sound familiar to any of us red-pilled, at all?
The thing is, its easy to get stuck in DENIAL, because its a mental “safe space” as its the one that shields us from having to aknowledge the unpleasant reality/loss.
Given the HORROR of what it is they are having to accept, is it any wonder so many opt to remain in denial?
Thing is, eventually REALITY forces a person out of Denial, as they can only deny reality for so long.
The harder others try to push the person to SEE the reality, the more they will resist, so you just have to let them find their own way,..but EVENTUALLY they WILL.
Its part of how our mind HEALS.
Dutchman,
Thank you for this! I am very familiar with the 5 stages of grief. I have been through it in many ways, not just with the loss of a loved one. But like you state “loss”.
You describe the exact reactions (anger) my friend was having. He can’t give up on his perception that the media has formed.
I will keep this in mind going forward and be the witness that God has intended us all to be.
I am not Lucy but it obviously has something to do with the differences of the construction. The beams in WTC did not have insulation and were identified as a problem. The fires weakened the structure faster.
Agree.
“I found it hard to believe that a jet could penetrate numerous floors of concrete, steel beams reinforced with concrete, like a knife slicing through butter.”
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_strength
Iron workers have shear machines to cut steel rod, puncture rivet holes, etc. One part of the material is securely gripped so it can’t move, the other part kinetically slammed, likewise a building’s strength vs a 3-4 hundred ton airplane moving at 300 mph. Not the whole story but probably a factor.
I was cutting up some heavy-duty plastic the other day. Just as it was, it was a little difficult to cut. But put it under tension, and suddenly it cut much more easily.
Yes, anything under tension, two opposing forces, would part more easily. Believe it or not, water can be used to cut steel (1 minute video).

Precisely.
It would appear 9/11 was pre-ordained as an excuse to implement this evil scheme. Just as C-19 was created and released to usher in global totalitarianism and The Great Reset.
For 4 years β¦ Clinton allowed 9 of the 9/11 Saudi terrorists to be trained by US pilots to fly passenger planes – not take off or land – just fly.
During this time Clinton ignored 8 terrorist attacks on American Interests β¦ and 6 opportunities to kill or capture binLaden β¦ Clinton was supposedly being blackmailed by the terrorists for phone-sex with Monica.
Regarding the Patriot Act β¦ remember, algore was supposed to win the White House β¦ which explains why/how the Patriot Act appeared so quickly β¦ written during Clintonβs 8 years ?? Maybe with Soros NWO input ??
While I now despise the bushCARTEL, I do not believe bush43 knew there would be a 9/11 terrorists attack β¦ but β¦ who scheduled 43 to be out of DC that day?
bush43 instantly showed his loyalties β¦ protecting the Saudis and Clintons – NOT Americans β¦ and implemented the Patriot Act for the FBI β¦ and the war machine for the CIA.
I remember Leer — who designed & manufactured Leer jets–being quoted around 9/11. He stated that those two planes could not have taken those towers down.
I also watched a documentary within the last several years. Scientists? Engineers? Whatever– they claimed that there was not much debris falling down. They described the buildings as appearing to evaporate.
Folks, I am too lazy to resource these two interviews. I am pursuing continuously. I never bookmark anything. Anyway, it’s out there.
βοΈπ’π’
Not pursuing! I am “perusing” ….
To err is human. Welcome aboard.
The Clintons, I mean, Muslims had 8 years to rig the Twin Towers β¦ after their FIRST terrorist attack failed.
When Donald J. Trump was elected to the presidency, all that comprises the ‘continuity of government’ reacted to this event like the human body’s immune system reacting to a viral infection.
A totally instinctive response of self-defense.
Excellent visual. Trump was viewed as a cancer –to an infection –to be removed from the administrative oligarch body.
Good metaphor – I would add that part of the fight to treat someone with cancer is that the CANCER is fighting like hell against being removed – if the cancer had a mind and a voice, it would tell us that it is under attack and must defend itself! The cancer believes that it ahs a right to take over!
A truly astute metaphor…thank you. Our Nation has a very serious autoimmune disease. π₯Ί
Very true words. But lets be clear, the body that is currently housed inside the bowels of the levers of power within the United States of America is not a legitimate entity and while their reaction to Trump might be instinctive, it is never-the-less more like the covid shots–they have turned America into a spike protein factory turning on its own nation. McCarthy would be appalled at what as now occured but probably not surprised. He went to his grave likely shell shocked at what he, Nixon and HUAC had uncovered–a growing rat’s nest right underneath our noses. I would encourage readers to read Diana West’s blog.
Like a vampire reacting to sunlight, or a mirror, or a cross. Hissing, shrinking back, fangs exposed.
Does this explain the role of the DOJ to bring ‘trumped up charges’ on anyone? Does it also allow for Lawfare to be the head of the DOJ? My opinion is no. Only communism explains this behavior.
Have you read βThe War Against All Puerto Ricansβ? I think you should.
Before the Deep State metastasized to what it is today, it had its practice run in the island. I can tell you it is true. I was raised in PR. I knew people who had FBI files on them because they supported independence, no matter how non-violent they were.
Everything the Deep State is doing now to this Nation, it did to them for decades.
Remember β¦ Hillary illegally had βhundredsβ of FBI files in the White House while the 2-for-1 was President and he was busy with Monica β¦ of course Travelgate βinvestigationsβ resulted in nothing.
βFilegateβ
The photo with, Clinton in it has the wrong title.
The man with the white shirt is Democrat / segregationist, George Wallace not George McGovern.
The elite class has modeled themselves as the CCP.
He said, there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between democrats and republicans.
It is not hopeless. There IS a way out. It is legal, nonviolent, breathtakingly simple, it ends this perverse nightmare instantly, and they are terrified we might actually do it after we re-elect Trump.
What is it?
Disclose it all. Declassify everything and put it up on the internet for all to see, no redactions and no deletions. It is the absolute scorched earth defense against blackmail and extortion. “Sources and methods” is a catch-all means of hiding their own identities. Don’t let them hide behind it anymore.
And if they think simply deleting all records of their illegal searches of Americans would be the end of it, they are wrong. They can’t delete individual human memories. Pass out immunity like candy, then call those who received it to testify publicly, under oath, about who they searched, what they found, whod they did it for, and what they did with it. Sunlight for all.
Simple. Nonviolent. Effective.
Seems to me the so called “Classified Documents case” in Fla. has the very real potential to affirm the POTUS’s unique authority, AS Commander in Chief, to be totally immune to any laws, rules/regs, policy/procedures with regard to Govt. info.
Such an outcome would mean, for example that Joe could NOT be prosecuted for publically disclosing the U.S. is “out of ammo”.
But, it would also clarify that PDJT could disclose ANY Govt info he chose, in any manner he chose, and without any LEGAL ramifications.
The Ga case has the potential to adjudicate the 2020 election, and the DC case by Smith, the truth of J6.
Bragg indictments don’t seem to adjudicate anything, they are just fluff.
I may be wrong but I do believe President Trump tried to disclose them and the agencies wouldn’t do it.
So, what is it?
“I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same: that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
This still matters.
Yes, it matters to We the People. It is not recognized by the administrative oligarchs.
As long as the people taking this oath remember that their allegiance is to free speech (think internet censorship), the right to bear arms ((think every Democrat bill after a mass shooting), the right to be secure against illegal searches, etc. (think the Patriot Act), the right to a speedy trial with a jury of their peers (think the J6 prisoners).
There are many other grievances, but this is a good start.
These evil doers only think about their cushy pensions, but if they get us into a conflict, those pensions may go bye bye rather quickly.
It also matters to God.
Exodus 20:7 AMP
“You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain [that is, irreverently, in false affirmations or in ways that impugn the character of God]; for the LORD will not hold guiltless nor leave unpunished the one who takes His name in vain [disregarding its reverence and its power].
Marxist Leftists believe THEY are god. Their oaths are meaningless.
If ever the time comes, when vain an aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.
Samuel Adams
the founders were brilliant and make most of the current butts in seats of leadership look vapid.
“Instead of the U.S. Govt protecting U.S. citizens from foreign threats, the Patriot Act changed the mission of government to protect itself from potential citizen threats.”
Only a government determined to “reduce the citizenry to absolute tyranny” would consider establishing these kinds of capabilities.
U.S. FEDGOV is anti-human. Full stop.
Fedcoats. Modern day Hessian mercenaries.
Once you research into 9/11 and understand that OUR OWN GOVERNMENT intentionally perpetrated this horror on the American people in order to get us into a massively expensive war in the Middle East (war is a rich man’s trick) AND to institute the Patriot Act to further surveil US citizens, everything that has happened since then makes more sense.
I would like to point out an Achilles heel in the plans of all the expected surveillance ‘they’ need continued, ELECTRICITY.
Our personal surveillance devices will be paper weights and all the data ‘they’ need limited. AI? Nothing works.
Think Carrington Event of 1859 where telegraph wires melted.
It’s often said, ‘The Lord works in mysterious ways.’ Study the heavens and the power of God is awe inspiring.
A major solar event could bring their power to rubble and be an answer to prayer.
Don’t get me wrong, I truly appreciate my frig, washing machine, watching a movie in the evening but in the bigger picture of things, if it brings these tyrants to their knees then that is fine.

Oh, and by the way, the eclipse in April was the 248th anniversary of Lexington as a CME erupted that day (Coronal Mass Ejection).
We can only hope and pray.
I thought I was starting out my day on the wrong music! It is truly depressing to know that this has been going on for a very long time, and the Patriot Act served to make some of it look legal. How is the Supreme Court going to fix this, since they have been part of it from the beginnings.
Respectfully, calling this a type of continuity of government confuses the point you’re trying to make. Whether it was the Continental Congress making plans to reconstitute in Baltimore in case of British advances on Philadelphia or Cold War era plans to relocate the leaders and most essential personnel of the 3 branches in case of nuclear attack, the term Continuity of Government has traditionally meant plans to continue essential government functions in case of a catastrophic event. Reconstituting a functioning government in bunkers or other classified locations and procedurally determining who is in charge of what such as the Presidential line of succession is what Continuity of Government is about.
Once established post 9-11, maintaining the new surveillance state isn’t any more difficult for the “government” than keeping the mail. It’s business as usual in unusual circumstances. Rolling back the surveillance state faces the same problem rolling back excessive spending does. There are too many people dependent on its continuation and at too much risk if exposed.
Good points. But what I read from Sundance is that the ‘catastrophic event’ you describe has been unofficially redefined since 2001 as the (Tea Party/Trump/MAGA/deplorable/patriots, etc.) wresting power from the DC Beltway Nomenklatura, not necessarily an exterior threat to the USA at large.
Two side notes:
1) I remember even shortly post 9/11, my eye-roll response, when the USG’s apparent knee-jerk reaction to the attacks was to immediately form yet another $600B bureaucratic behemoth (DHS/TSA), rather than energizing, facilitating and directing our existing national security professionals to do their (expletive) jobs.
2) Am not sure that the Cold War vision of continuity is even possible now, as the National Command Authority (NCA) appears to have dissolved into a morass of cognitive impairment, political mendacity, hubristic incompetence and hostile, back-bench manipulators.
God – Help – Us. The more so, because we don’t deserve it.
Without question the day to day operation of our government is the protection and preservation of the elective and administrative state from the deplorables, et al but that’s not Continuity of Government. Nobody’s abandoning DC for the Greenbriar, Site R, Mt Weather, the Airborne Command Post, etc in order to preserve a functioning government. Even if you believe Congress felt the Capital was under attack on Jan 6 they simply adjourned to their hidey hole under the Capitol or evacuated the leadership down the street to Ft McNair for a couple of hours. The post 9/11 growth of the surveillance state and its focus on eliminating internal political opposition is not Continuity of Government it’s the destruction of our self-governing republic.
I get the point Sundance is trying to make and maybe I’m the only fool who doesn’t get it but the term COG has a longstanding meaning that’s completely different than using the tools of the state to feather you nest and maintain your power no matter what. The best way to stop the abuse is to take away the abuser’s authority to use the tools of the state against its citizens without clear evidence of criminal activity and a warrant. There really is no way to reform it. Shut it down. Doing so won’t threaten our republic, it will save it.
We The People do deserve it. The government does not deserve it. Everything gubmint touches gets fubarred. We have to find a way out of this mess made by the gubmint.
What the Constitution defines as “essential government functions” are specified quite explicitly in the Constitution and are few in number. What the Government defines as “essential functions” are unbounded, undefined and unchecked and are in direct contradiction to the Constitution.
I don’t understand this statement:
“The massive assembly of FD-1023 reports are the source information.”
Unless assembly means “collection” and not
“process of assembling”
So should it read… the massive assembly IS the source information?”
The sentence tripped me up.
Not a continuity of government, a continuity of power. And we the people keep letting it happen as we’re increasingly and systematically controlled by a carefully crafted web of fear imposed upon us by governmental entities that have become ends in themselves and are aided and abetted by the power seekers in control of our means and methods of communication: fear of attack, fear of disease, fear of mayhem and disorder, fear of looming crises that don’t exist, fear of losing our fat, comfortable lifestyles. The most alarming thing to me about Covid was the willingness of so many of our fellow citizens to surrender their sovereignty to self-serving authorities eager to exploit and take advantage of what were legitimate concerns. I don’t know how we get ourselves out of this. We’ve created a monster and we’re in danger of being consumed by it.
Yup. The Constitution and their respective oaths of office comprise a very clear, if challenging job description for these governmental entities. We trusted them to do their jobs, even as hired by our elected ‘representatives’ and paid out of our pockets, in-extremis. Now, not so much.
completely antithetical to government of, by and for the people. we the people are sovereign.
And what happened to Islamic Terrorism? Kind of goneβ¦no? Almost like it served its purpose and is no longer needed.
Bingo,…accept they had orders to “entrap” some in order to justify renewing the Patriot act.
The TSA is a sick joke,…taking off shoes and confiscating fingernail clippers,…I would bet the vast majority of passengers have either or both a ball point pen, a credit card.
Either could be used, by someone with the WILL to do it, to do what the 911 hijackers did with boxcutters.
And yet,…no more hijackings since the shoe bomber, WHERE did they all go?
Look for the people behind the construct.
Look for the people who are using these files.
Who are these people?
D.C. is corrupt and will act to protect itself and retain power and assert authority etc. etc. Comma, the less attention you pay to them, the less releveant they are in your life. If you posit that ‘politics is a big club'(Carlin), of which you are not a part and has stuffed shirts, machine guns, ski masks and little ear radios and now smartphones to go with the big computer bans and so on, and then you jut go on living your normal life and toss the ballot in the trash and don’t let yourself get all worked up about it when they post another idiot at the podium, then you’re generally not really affected by all the posturing and machinations and scandals and so on. Again, D.C. is corrupt, and will act to protect itself, so stay the hell away from politicians and their games and live your best life in spite of it all. Don’t hold your breath expecting change. AND, don’t lose sleep over the evening news. Blessed be.
I think Dick Cheney worked on and wrote a great deal of the COG rules. We have been duped into their rules. Patriot Act is a complete disaster .
Continuity of COUNTRY works better without the corruption of GOVERNMENT.
Continuity of Swamp to make possible the discontinuity of the Constitution and Consent of the Governed.
“Who are all of these CHSβs and UAEβs like Igor Danchenko, Patrick Byrne, Azra Turk, Carter Page, Joseph Mifsud, Ray Epps, 1% Watchdog, etc. etc. etc?”

The democrats abuse the law! They twist it until it is unrecognizable and then use it against US citizens in exactly the opposite way in which our Constitution and Bill of Rights were designed to protect us.
Do not forget-Obama hired 2000 people on his way out the door. Any takers on how many of those 2000 were tasked with continuity?
this is precisely the infuriating dimension of the entire βresistanceβ to President Trump.
what are these people loyal to? Who are they loyal to?
They certainly are not loyal to the United States, or our Constitution, or our elected government. every single member of the intelligence community, and other agencies, who worked to undermine Donald Trump, or any president, or guilty of participating in a seditious conspiracy.
Is that how the capitol looks now, at this moment (with the fence and patrols)? If so….must be naive…had no idea….had heard about it, but thought it was temporary…
CHSes only work if there’s something there to “source,” otherwise they’re just empty threats. Sure, the FBI can target innocent people like Gaetz, but eventually their schemes come crashing down in court. If there were 535 Matt Gaetzes, there would be no Fourth Branch.
I blame both the people running the Surveillance State and the corrupt or dirty government officials.
Your welcome, I’m glad I could help shape the conversation.
Godspeed πΊπΈ and God bless
