If you understand how the Dept of Homeland Security and FBI access and ultimately control the content of social media platforms, specifically the public opinion square of Twitter, then you can start to understand a much bigger aspect to this hidden court case.
KEY CONTEXT – During the Twitter File releases, existing DHS/FBI guidance controlled what the Twitter legal team was allowed to share with researchers. The Twitter File group gave Twitter search terms, and the Twitter team entered the search words/phrases and generated results. However, the Twitter legal team then had to filter that information against the instructions of DHS/FBI to determine what the research group was allowed to know; ultimately, what was allowed to become public information.
This reality stimulates the question: where/when did that prior guidance from DHS/FBI originate? The answer to that question is discovered in a little-known lawsuit by Twitter against the U.S. government.
Please do not overlook the dates here.
Back in 2014, Twitter sued the government, “seeking to make public the number of times the FBI requested user information from the company in connection with national security investigations.” {link} Why? Because during the Obama administration, Twitter “was blocked from publishing the quantity of requests in its biannual online “Transparency Report,” claiming the government unlawfully restrained its speech.” {link}
In essence, DHS/FBI were weaponizing Twitter data and demanding information on specific users, specific inquiry about issues of greatest concern to the Obama administration. The Obama administration then told Twitter they were not permitted to talk about their demands due to “national security” issues. Twitter was barred from telling the public what was happening.
Keep in mind, the lawsuit by Twitter against the Obama administration (DHS/FBI) was in 2014, so the demands from government were ‘prior to’. Now, does my prior outlining of “Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop” start to make more sense? [Keep in mind, I received a ridiculous subpoena for writing about this.]
The Twitter lawsuit against the government wound its way through the lower courts and various levels of appeal. Each lower court ruled against the release of the information, forbidding Twitter from releasing the information. Why? Because the executive branch, in this example Obama DHS/FBI, have unilateral authority to determine what constitutes a “national security” issue. If DHS/FBI says the issue is a “national security” threat, the judicial branch is not prepared to challenge that definition.
Ultimately the lawsuit ended up at the doors of the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court refused to engage the question thereby supporting the rulings of the lower court. You can read about THAT PART HERE. However, there’s another layer to this story that needs to be accurately understood, because this deference by the judicial branch to the executive branch is part of how the system is weaponized.
You might remember this 11th circuit court of appeals ruling against Trump; it essentially encapsulates the issue:
These rulings are essentially correct, as following the process within a constitutional republic. However, here’s the rub. The weaponized Deep State are using this deference, as a tool in their Lawfare arsenal.
If the Deep State can unilaterally determine what constitutes “national security,” and if the judicial branch is not going to review or challenge those determinations, then the executive branch can target people, target institutions, and/or conduct domestic surveillance while hiding their conduct behind the shield of national security.
That’s exactly what the weaponized institutions (DHS, DOJ, FBI) have been doing.
That’s exactly the process that Barack Obama and Eric Holder created.
That’s exactly the motive for Eric Holder creating the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD).
Now, can you see the bigger issue, as presented by the Twitter case against government, that was just highlighted by the Supreme Court decision not to get involved.
The DOJ-NSD is the targeting mechanism for corrupt interests in our government to target us. The Dept of Homeland Security and the FBI unite in the process and provide the results to the DOJ-NSD for action against the targets. The collaboration then uses “national security” as the technique to stop those being abused by the targeting system from ever finding out, and the judicial branch cannot provide oversight.
Hopefully, this helps people put the scale of the ‘weaponization of government’ issue into a context.
That’s how they are carrying out Lawfare. That’s why there’s no process to impede them within the ordinary structures of constitutional protection.
Their ability to use “national security” as the justification for all of the corrupt targeting and surveillance is ultimately the source of power for the Fourth Branch of Government.
This is why I am not optimistic about the Supreme Court’s upcoming ruling in Missouri v. Biden. The government is going to argue that it is a matter of national security that they be allowed to continue to coordinate censorship and Surveillance with the social media companies. Roberts, Cavanagh, and Barrett will except that argument. The American republic, as we have known it, is receding into the rearview mirror of history.
*accept that argument. The fourth amendment has been dead a long time and I think the SCOTUS is about to formally bury both it and the First amendment.
I hope you are not right but it wouldn’t surprise me if you are. I have the same concern about those justices. Not sure on Gorsuch. He’s all in on the trans agenda but not sure where he’ll land on this one.
The folks in black robes with lifetime appointments had better wake up, and soon. If they think a few protesters in front of their DC homes are scary, then they have no idea of the conditions that await them if this scheme is allowed to proceed.
Their 6 or 7 figure salaries will not be enough to protect them. Indeed, ALL of us who fall shy of billionaire status are at great risk in this brave new world the Globalists have planned for us.
It’s long past time for them to man (or woman) up and find those extraordinary reasons to challenge the false claims of “national security”.
None of these justices got their appointments free of blackmail dirt so don’t hold your breath.
if millions of Americans arent ready to stand up and overthrow this corrupt government, what makes one think that a few black robed judges will stick their necks out to solve the problem. there are a ton of evil behind the scenes actors capable of frame ups, black mail, extortion, etc. the judges are not immune to it. there is no easy way out, here, no matter how much we wish it to be so.
I Agree
“There is no easy way out, here, no matter how much we wish it to be so”
And soon we can add in AI surveillance of everything!
It’s the “Constitutional Workaround”. Everything illegal is legal if you slap National Security on it.
Or get a corporation to carry out government orders.
I think it’s accurate to say “and”, instead of “or” – using a corp as a front to hide behind. The corp is the concealment, the cover is the Patriot Act.
Actually , its circumvent the Constitution “by any means available”.
That’s how they enforced covid. You weren’t ordered to get a vaccine. Your company was told to threaten your job.
Deeply study SAIC / Leidos
You will find fingerprints starting with Flight 800, 9/11, HAARP, SARS-COV2, California and Hawaii wildfires…
Didn’t really expect much but damned if they aren’t a bunch of nefarious spies.
“Everything illegal is legal if you slap National Security on it.”So true – they have been making this claim since, let’s see, sometime in 1963 if I recall. It worked then and it will continue to work until we the people do something about it.
“National security” can be invoked to justify abuse of any constitutionally protected right. It will always be so.
it has been used in recent memory to forcefully relocate a specific group of people to concentration camps while also confiscating their property
You would be referencing the Japanese Americans during WW2? If there is anyone on reparations list it would be them, right after American Indians.
“National Security” has the same ring as the excuse “ongoing investigation”; however, it’s a far bigger net.
If SCOTUS has NO GUARD RAILS against the intelligence agencies and executive branch, we effectively have a TYRANNY and SCOTUS has FAILED to do their job. The REPUBLIC is NO MORE because SCOTUS had decided not to do their job.
And, if SCOTUS is not ruling based on our Constitutional, then they are ruling against it. That is, against the rights of the citizens making them another enemy of We the People.
As painful as this is to read, going forward we need to know ALL of our enemies. As a collective, it appears that SCOTUS and the rest of the Judicial system is just that.
I recall when Justice David Souter, during his confirmation, stated that he only read the Sunday edition of the NY Times, and presumably no other dailies. I knew he presented this fact as some sort of trophy of bipartisanship. Other judges have also claimed a saintly purity for not following political debates in detail, as if ignorance of political battles will result in a wiser jurisprudence. Quite the contrary, in-depth knowledge of political issues sharpens the mind to the relevance of proper constitutional decisions, and can never be a detriment to judges, or risk clouding their perceptions or arousing loyalties to parties. If such were true, they would lack the proper judicial temperament, a likely result of insufficient love and understanding of the Constitution itself.
On the other hand, when there is blithe ignorance of current events, there is little motivation to look deeper into the legal controversies that come before the courts, leading thus to legal decisions that reflect poor understanding of the stakes involved to a society that may appear stable from the lofty ivory towers, but that is, in fact, highly vulnerable.
In all that judges do, the Constitution must remain their brightest light and deepest devotion. However, this powerful light must also be shined, with intelligent relevance born of political awareness, on the controversies of the day and carried out in strict accord with the text and spirit of the Constitution itself.
In conclusion, when presented in court, those legal arguments that stand closest to this text and spirit must always win the day because no harm can ever befall the United States while it observes and reveres its Constitution, created in the closest human approximation of the image and likeness of God.
they … being the evil behind that benign edifice that is government … created by that evil … subject to no one but them … ‘I SEE YOU EVIL ‘ your time is short and your reach is limited … thank ‘GOD’ mankind’s rule on this planet is almost over … ‘RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENT ‘ is your sentence …and eternity in confinement … never to set foot again in this realm … ( giggle , giggle ,t,hee ) ‘SEE YA LATER LOSER’ !!!!!!!
Special Councils are cover-up operations ..Hide the truth @ all cost SC are BS ..to protect politicans we are onto you bastards..
All communication is a controlled and rigged game.
Prior to the internet, it was TV, newspapers, magazines and Hollywood that were controlled. See Operation Mockingbird. While, we may have had some inclinations at the time, it is only in hindsight that we realize the full scope of how controlled it was.
Everything we consume is controlled.
With the introduction of the internet and social media, do we really think the “controllers” were going to simply let go of that control? No. Did we think they were going to release control and give that control away to a bunch of freaks and geeks like Zuckerberg, Gates, Dorsey, etc? No. They are simply the new front faces of the same team.
We know the govt developed the internet, ARPANET.
We know the govt developed Life Log for military families. The same month that program was shutdown, Facebook was started. Apparently, the same program, but for the entire public (not just military families) to use to share their “info”.
We know a company like Twitter (Jack’s Magic Coffee Shop) can’t handle the bandwidth required to support its users without backroom support. The guess is the backroom support comes from govt servers. Who knows but that’s a good guess knowing all we know now. If you are not charged for their product, then you are the product.
Here’s more…Companies like 23 and me “offer” to give you information about your family and medical background. Here’s a crazy thought. What if 23 and me is similar to those social media companies? They offer you something you think you want, but the actual purpose of the front company is giving them something they want (all your family/medical info). It is something they can’t steal from you, but they will gladly take it and use it if you “choose” to voluntarily give it to them. Are companies like 23 and me just fronts for the Human Genome Project?
Now let’s think about the crazy PCR Tests for COVID. The actual test can’t distinguish between a cold, a flu or a Corona virus. It can’t distinguish between a live virus from current infection or a dead virus from prior infection. What can it do? It can collect a sample of your DNA from your nose swipe along with your personal info attached to it and become part of their “database”. You were not forced to take the test. You volunteered. See how that works? Guessing it’s all used as part of the human genome project as well.
It’s all rigged and controlled. The only difference is now we know. Choose wisely and live your best life along the way.
For a long, long, LONG time, your thoughts about 23 and Me and Ancestry have been mine.
Why give the very essence of who I am to a faceless entity? For some curiosity of who came before me and where they came from?
Something was very off about it. And now with the godless advent of mRNA and transhumanism, I can clearly see that my concerns were justified.
My three adult children were given that sinister 23 and Me as Christmas gifts a few years back. I was more than relieved to learn that all three tossed them into the trash.
Who knows who or what has collected all that DNA. But it wouldn’t be a stretch to find out that a government which pays for aborted baby parts for research would have no moral compunction about paying to collect that as well.
“We know the govt developed Life Log for military families. The same month that program was shutdown, Facebook was started.”
Indeed, that was one module of the DoD initiative Total Information Awareness (TIA). The proposal which would’ve also roped in DoD civilian employees – done on the premise of “they’re going to tell us all about themselves voluntarily” – was so monstrous that the pushback within DoD was unacceptable. It quietly went back on the shelf. Communications & network staff at various levels actually led the “aww, hell no” movement by pointing out the laws they’d have to break.
Thus, Zuck. Twitter is dessert.
There is a lot to say for privacy…
Look where we are now.
I try to stay off the radar of nefarious forces as best I can.
(Who am I kidding. Only myself)
“Look where we are now.” Always ask yourself, compared to what? To life in a small town, where gossip and prejudice go everywhere? In feudal Europe, where the priest and landowner knew everything? In the monarchies of earlier times? In Al Capone’s Chicago?
I think there’s an argument to be made that the solution to the problem of personal freedom lies less in privacy than in the morality of those who, inevitably, manage to gain control.
Of course the morality of those in control, or as now the complete lack of it, in great part dictates what sort of society we live in. We have ample evidence of the latter in this debauched nation. All its institutions, corporations, and the people who have hold the whip hand attest to how far we’ve fallen.
But the examples you give could, I think, be called local…as opposed to both the massive federal and global stage. It was ever thus in societal groupings like cities, towns, etc.
The unfortunate trend now is that most seem to hunger for spilling every detail of their lives, the seemly and the un-…all under the watchful Eye of Sauron.
Reticence, rectitude, and discretion, just three hallmarks of a civilized society, are no more.
Technology has destroyed privacy, utterly and completely.
And that was my specific point. To paraphrase Ben Franklin…privacy, if you can keep it, is a precious commodity.
And just like our fallen, now amoral Republic, we haven’t.
That’s what I mean when I note that privacy has gone the way of the dodo.
Spilling every detail of their lives, such as, taking a photo of your dinner and where you’re eating it and posting it online. Good grief. Selfies by the dozens by people old enough to know better. Shoppers fighting over an insulated cup or toilet paper. Society has lost their collective minds. I never fell for the Ancestry ploy and neither has my family. My granddaughter gave me a Ring door bell and I wouldn’t install it. I’ll take hometown gossip over government surveillance any day.
Amen, sister!!! Both my daughters have Alexa.
Believe you me, I have told them. Both are overwhelmed trying to keep hearth, home and children functioning with heads above water….one with twins plus one, the other with triplets plus one, both with demanding jobs.
I’ve warned and told them the reasons why.
When I hear myself explaining, if I didn’t know what I know, I’d be rolling my eyes at myself.
I’ve done my best. Angels can do no more…
Although in this instance, I really wish they could.
You must be a busy and blessed Grandma though.
I am, coastermobile. Undeservedly so, and I am everyday humbled and filled with gratitude. 🙏🏻
My apologies…I got your name wrong., coastermomohio.
Mea culpa 🙏🏻
Hawthorne’s “Scarlet Letter,” to give one example, is a good indication that that kind of thing was no picnic.
That being said, what you quite correctly describe here is an increasing narcissism. It’s a more regressed social stance and personality style, something that was actively combated by Christendom, which emphasizes humility, self-sacrifice, and self-discipline. And which promotes social health rather than decline.
I don’t know how old you and Betsy are, but I’m 75, and I grew up in a culture that was very different than the one we have today. As another example, that was the first and only culture on the planet to voluntarily, comprehensively repudiate racism, and that lasted until it was resurrected as a weapon by the atheistic left (in the late 1960’s).
Television had been around for years and radio for decades. Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s program was the most popular show on TV during much of the 1950’s and Loretta Young’s show survived into the 1960’s, when it was cancelled as being too traditional in its values.
True, modern technology is much more intrusive, but the propaganda was actually worse back then, and the information space much more controlled than it is now. Groupthink was more pervasive, in fact, but the difference was that it was more aligned with reality and functional morality than the versions of groupthink that we see these days. Still, plenty of us are capable, even now, of tuning out the technology, homeschooling our children, cutting the cable cord rather than fund filth. But many remain vulnerable to the siren song of sin.
I think if you step back you can see that what came first was the deterioration of Christendom, which had begun with the enlightenment, four centuries before. That’s what has made so many susceptible to the moral cesspool that technology has become. It’s not like it’s a news flash, the fact that this has happened. The Old Testament provides excellent history about how it occurs, not once upon a time but EVERY TIME. It’s how and why ancient Israel got torn apart.
By the rivers of Babylon
where we sat down,
and there we wept,
as we remembered Zion.
A good song for these times.
I was going to say this, but I think the difference is that people are finally seeing the pattern.
Mrs Buckwheats family did 23 and me, 5 siblings, siblings kids, parents, aunts, cousins…. This was like 8 years ago. We opted out and we were excoriated by the family. I explained the reasoning to my wife, we are secure in our decisions.
I do a lot of warning, such as with the bioweapon gene therapy, which fortunately did not fall on deaf ears. I half expected to hear my three had gone ahead with 23 and Me as it was a gift. I was grateful as well as relieved that they had not only not done it but had thrown the horrid things away.
Sigh…..in the end you and Mrs B did your best, Buckwheat. At some point when you’ve done that with love and concern, you just have to let it go and be prepared to take the brickbats.
Gattaca is a 1997 American science fiction film. The film presents a future society driven by eugenics where potential children are conceived through genetic selection to ensure they possess the best hereditary traits of their parents.[5] The film centers on Vincent Freeman, played by Hawke, who was conceived outside the eugenics program and struggles to overcome genetic discrimination to realize his dream of going into space.
Predictive Programing
There seem to be quite a few movies and programs of old that, when we revisit them today, were eerily prescient.
Network, 1976.
Good one!!
One that becomes more relevant is “Three Days of the Condor”…and how!!!
Also “Minority Report”.
Two to watch again.
Another someone posted with the comment that he thought Michael Douglas had gone heserk, but the older this commenter got, the more he understood.
“Falling Down”
Falling Down is an underrated movie.
One I watched way, way back and thought was over the top was Parallax View, 1974. Warren Beatty and Paula Prentiss. Now with all this Deep State activity, not so sure. That movie rates a re-watch.
Distance lends relevance. I would like to see them all again.
Omega Man
wow. I never heard of 23 and me. Glad I didn’t huh?
Too right, bonny! Ancestry is the same.
I got that as a gift years ago and stupidly did it. I regret it now.
I have an unfortunate fault (well, more than one…) of assuming the best of people until I’ve been proven wrong. To a great degree, I’ve rectified it. You regret it in hindsight I know; but years ago the subterranean sewers where the Gateses, Schwabs, and their fellow travellers lurked then with their ungodly, evil machinations like trans humanism and gene altering poisons were camouflaged. Beyond your contemplation, as it was mine, just how deep evil goes in some.
Who could fathom back then what we know today? You weren’t to know…and I mean that literally.
All the dunces in my family think I committed some horrible crime that I don’t want unearthed. We took it, why don’t you? I let them think that, and it’s been kind of “empowering”!
LOL!!!! Smile knowingly the next time 😂
They only target opposition to national security rackets they’re involved in.
The free market hates competition.

Yes, and because it is a Tower of Babel, it will collapse like all other schemes developed by the Lord of this world. They do not actually control everything. If they did, we would not be having this discussion. And they never will.
“The actual test can’t distinguish between a cold, a flu or a Corona virus.”
Most likely because there is no difference.

Funny! Thanks
A YouTube channel did a deep dive on the Jefferson / Hemings family history. It seems highly unlikely that it was Thomas, but rather his brother Randolph, who fathered children with the slaves. Also interesting to note, Sally Hemings was 3/4 white. She is described as having long straight hair and a fair complexion. Think Megan Markle.
And there is a 50-90% false positive result (CDC publication in Jan 2021).
Elon Musk’s simple field test – 4 tests at the same clinic, same day, same nurse – yielded two positive, two negative.
When it comes to government data collection, ALWAYS assume it’s going on. 23-and-me is ASSUMED to be compromised.
Remember when the internet was becoming ubiquitous idealists thought it would lead to the downfall of authoritarian regimes, precisely because it broke the state’s control of information. Which did happen, for awhile. But then, something changed.
First, China began exerting pressure on internet and social media companies to restrict content. Instead of bringing Western online freedom to China, tech companies brought Chinese online authoritarianism to the West.
Second, in 2016 the MSM lost control of the narrative. Americans used social media to break the elites’ monopoly. Remember the tears and hysteria at Big Tech after Election Day. The leaders vowed “never again” would the people enjoy freedom of speech to undermine the establishment.
The Truman Show, we know. How do we escape the matrix is the real question.
That’s easy: We escape the matrix when we think for ourselves.
We discovered with the injection “mandates” that were actually strong suggestions or “guidance,” that the powers-that-be need only threaten and badger us in order to achieve the compliance of the majority. The rest are easily identified and isolated, if only by our separation from those whose data is already collected.
Most of society are *not* free thinkers. In order to regain our freedom, we must separate ourselves from those who cling to the matrix.
The question then becomes a financial one, that may be the only leverage left. When Donal Trump becomes POTUS 47, he must make it a priority to defund, dismantle the FBI and the DOJ, particularly the DOJ-NSD.
IDK of that’ll work as quickly as it is needed. There is so much unaccounted-for money that came up “missing” across the CIA and the DOD that they prolly have enough to sustain themselves for several years. FBI prolly has huge stashes of seized money and assets from criminals they
murderedlost track of or captured & prosecuted over decades.Actually I think that is PRECISELY why they stole and stashed that money….
All he needs is an AG to end the DOJ-NSD. Holder created it, Sessions, Whitaker, or Barr could have ended it.
How to get that AG nominee through Senate confirmation is the question. Especially since it appears Republicans are working to hand Congress to the Democrats.
Congress needs to control their creation: DOJ.
GOP will get right on that /s
How did that go for Dr. Frankenstein? Similar monster tendencies, similar outcomes…
The villagers had to take care of it.
Darned if the Monster didn’t come back for 4 or 5 more movies!
I wrote about this once. I called it “The Constitutional Mistake”. The Founders believed that the legal sector were honorable and educated Men and therefore left a lot of the structure to the Judicial Branch to happen after the Constitution was ratified. There was no ‘Attorney General’ originally. It was just an advisor to the President. By the creation of the Department of Justice, Congress opened the door for the Administrative Branch to control a portion of the Judicial Branch. It actually took a long time for the politicians to seize on that as ‘honor’ did prevail for some time. But as always human nature wins and the entire DOJ is now and forever corrupted. Hussein Obama and Eric Holder made sure of that.
Clinton and Janet Reno laid the groundwork. Holder was Reno’s Deputy AG.
Obama wasn’t working in a vacuum. All the apperatciks were in place when he got there. A H. Clinton presidency in 2008 would have made similar decisions.
The fix is in.
TWITTER DROP 8: Baker Scandal Deepens; FBI FITF / Twitter Censored HAMMER / SCORECARD Exposé Published By he American Report Days Before 2020 Election; FITF Works With CIA – The American Report | By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones

John Roberts ranks right up there with Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and deserves the same outcome!
The collaboration then uses “national security” as the technique to stop those being abused by the targeting system from ever finding out, and the judicial branch cannot provide oversight.
Sundance, I rarely correct you, but should it not be “will not provide oversight”? It sounds to me like this is more dereliction of duty within DC. SCOTUS is obligated to investigate legality. If their new operational standard is to take gov officials at their word when they say “trust us,” what is the purpose of having them and paying their salaries?
Double standards, tiered citizen classes, and blatant corruption continues.
I completely agree with you. Substantial deference is incompatible with unfettered discretion. The court conducts in camera review when reviewing privilege logs. It does not just abandon its responsibility to review a challenge to the legitimacy of a challenge to privileged status because the challenger hasn’t submitted evidence that the material is not privileged – this is an insurmountable burden. There is no reason why the judicial branch, which is the third co-equal branch of government as well as a check and balance
upon the other two branches, should do a wholesale abandonment of its role out of cowardice, which it couches as some sort of abundance of caution. Its dereliction of duty in this regard upsets the balance set out by the framers and relegates itself to a lesser check upon what is in fact an out of control branch.
*legitimacy of a claim to privileged status.
Great, deep, comment, Miya. Thank you.
Why have any of the three branches allowed their abdication of “Co-Equal”?
Is the Deep State that powerful, or has blackmail become that widespread? or both?
What other methods of coercion are available to the Deep State?
It is also not new. Similar to the Congress simply giving up their War making powers. The Constitution provides the power to the branches but it cannot force them to use it.
ANY system is only as good as the people within it. “…for an educated and virtuous populace. Wholly inadequate for any other.”
Exactly. Its not “the SYSTEM” thats the problem, its the PEOPLE that are running the SYSTEM.
Just like wirh elections, where the focus is on the SYSTEM, the “machines” (tabulators, etc.) rather than on the people that operate the system, and how THEY are selected.
Machines don’t steal elections, PEOPLE do.
And PEOPLE undermine the Constitution.
They are just not going to do the right thing. Immunity issue, the ballot issue … the courts are not a reliable ally.
Just as Jefferson said lo so many years ago…
Sick, not well, in disrepair, broken, falling apart … sick.
quit using all the ‘social’ crap back when ‘Myspace’ came out. knew then it was no good
The most recent scotus justices and many of the lower judges were allowed to be confirmed because they are either corrupt or controlled.
When will people realize our corrupt govt is working against us not for us ?
If you provided Jack the coffee for his coffeeshop, you certainly have a “stake” in the enterprise.
Social media is just another “silo” but this one we have voluntarily put ourselves in.
The s c o t u s is proving to be as corrupt as the rest of the government.
Only We the People can fix this…🇺🇸
Sundance – do you believe measures are being taken – VERY POWERFUL, epic measures – behind the scenes, far below the ridiculous Pretense Theatre psy-ops charading as “news” since at least 2020 …. do you believe operations are underway to free the USA from Evil’s stranglehold? Other than running for office again, don’t you think President Trump must’ve been busy behind the curtains cleaning out the Deep Augean State Stables? The alternative – that White Hats (which surely must include honest patriots in the military) have been doing nothing but planning for camapign ’24 and hoping the fraud won’t be as egregious next time – that alternative seems at this point as bizarre as Clown World itself. Don’t you think something historically huge has quietly been going on behind these transparently pretend scenes are are forced to react to every day?
I’m ex-military (got out over the COVID shot thing). I know how tempting it is to think that there’s somebody in the DoD who’s working against the people in the DoD who are working against us, but I’m not convinced any of those people exist.
The military is a massive, massive bureaucracy. Very few people have a full view of any given situation, much less in a position to actively influence that situation. It’s not that the military’s full of people who don’t care (although that’s a debatable issue) but rather that nobody who can do something has access to the knowledge that would indicate to them to do something. Does that make sense?
Beyond that, the average military troop works very very hard to not engage with national-level politics in any way. The only people who do are (shocker) the hardcore lefties.
I can see somebody doing something, potentially, in a contingency situation. Not taking an order to fire on US citizens. But anything that requires planning and foresight? The structure of the system prevents that from happening.
It’s not something any of us should expect, hope for, or count on.
Well you are certainly a Q dampening fellow
yup, no military rescue calvary is on the horizon
Actually, he is suggesting the opposite. The political side of the military can only infect the military so much. It’s awful enough to be sure. But the “legacy military” (which is falling away over time) still exists and is being replaced by woke membership. That’s the erosion we face.
And of course we all remember the mass firings of military officers under Obama. That was very damaging.
And yet we see and have all of the “professional bigotry” (DEI and all of that) going on along with the other aspects of the political freakshow appearing everywhere within the military. My son ALSO got out of the service because of these issues PREDATING C19.
Halley,
I agree with Yin, the Military is the epitome of Silos within SILOS,…and civilians who disobey orders get fired, military get court martialed, hence the notion that military personelle are working “behind the scenes” is Hopium.
Military intelligence is a silo in and of itself and each branch has one. They do not operate under the standard UCMJ in a similar way that the state department/CIA operate. There are necessary operational immunities. For example, try to courts martial a CIA officer using standard UCMJ courts processes.
Yin I think your observations are valid but would add a variable to the equation. The troops and the American people have been lied to about every conflict we have engaged in, drug into the fray against our will via oceans of lies. Que the psychological operation/false flag/support the troops, etc….
Remember the Maine!!!
The “national security” ploy, perfectly illustrates Franklin’s warning, that people who are willing to trade freedom for security will have neither. This nation, in a knee jerk reaction to 9-11, allowed the creation of a demonic bureaucracy(s) that given time would destroy the freedoms this country was founded upon. The US, allowed the sowing of evil, now we are reaping the whirlwind.
Do the Justices see what is happening with the weaponization of government? Are any of their staff members aware of the construct?
Is there a way to thread the eye of the needle, so to speak and make this construct publicly known? I almost give up on members of Congress. There are so few that either know anything, can put 2 and 2 together to come up with the correct answer, or have the backbone to try to do anything about it.
I don’t have a legal or political background, but surely there is some way to break this illegitimate system. Is that what Obama is afraid of? That another term with Trump or a Trump-like incumbent would find the cracks and break it apart?
Release it anyway.
The FBI wouldn’t think twice about illegally releasing info they think damages their enemies.

FINALLY…Having spent 30 years in the Military I have found that when something is labeled: “CLASSIFIED” one does NOT ASK QUESTIONS and what Sundance has exposed GOES right to the heart of the matter…ANYONE who FALSELY CLASSIFIES SOMETHING TOO KEEP HIDDEN IS AGAINST THE LAW…IT is ILLEGAL (in every since of those words) to “try” to prosecute someone, ie PDJT, due to the classification(s)…The SC HAS to look at the “issue” of WHAT constitutes classified material, WHO can classify/declassify that said material AND WHO CAN LOOK AT THE MATERIAL…
NOTE: The President of the United States has THE HIGHEST CLASSIFICATION AUTHORITY IN THE United States WHICH OVER-RIDES WHAT HOLDER/OBAMA & company are trying to do…
Executive Order 13526
Sec. 1.7. Classification Prohibitions and Limitations.
(a) In no case shall information be classified, continue to be maintained as classified, or fail to be declassified in order to:
(1) conceal violations of law, inefficiency, or administrative error;
(2) prevent embarrassment to a person, organization, or agency;
https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/executive-order-classified-national-security-information
This is why there is only ONE path to legally breaking thru this, and thats with PDJT back in the Oval.
The POTUS, and NOT “the Office of the POTUS” but the man, himself IS the CIC, and so has absolute unquestioned authority over National Security.
All agencies, military or civilian, derive THEIR classification authority from him.
Hence, while the Courts and Congress MUST defer to “the Executive” on matters of Natl. Security, and therefore Classification, the agencies derive their authority FROM the President, and they MUST defer to HIM.
ONE person, and only ONE could step in front of the cameras and reveal classified info with impunity, anyone else would be subject to prosecution.
…..and what can be done about this?
(besides President Trump)
So the deep state for national security reasons could assign seal team 6 to assassinate political opponents and get off scott free?
See Kennedy and the CIA.
John or Bobby?
That would be an action against US citizens so it’s still illegal. And then you have to ask if SF would take that order…it’s way too blatant for most of them to accept.
Thats what contractors are for. Hired guns, mercenary, public private partnership. The intel agencies have teams outside SF/DOD command and control.
Suppose a President was a “manchurian candidate” a coopted agent of a foreign power, inserted into office in order to destroy our country, and engaging in official acts in order to destroy our country, abandoning in Afganustan, opening the border to invasion, etc.
And suppose Congress was also coopted, so that the Constitutional remedy of Impeachment was “off the table”, ..?
Great analysis, Sundance. Thank you.
“National Security” and “On-Going Investigation” are defense mechanisms used by our government to avoid investigation of their activities against us. Unless and until we counter this logic we are impotent.
Perhaps they will plead they have immunity bcause of their jobs for “national security”…
FYI … There were “parallel National Security Activities” in progress about the time of this case.
Add this to the timeline involving the report by Admiral Mike Rogers, submitted to Federal Judge regarding FISA 702 Queries.
The social media companies were the primary source of the data being searched by all the query applicants flagged by Admiral Rogers.
This also aligns with the time Admiral Rogers closed access to contractors and others.
It also aligns with the point where General Flynn was fired by the Obama Administration.
This was damage control of the highest order by the Professional Class within the Obama Administration.
Matters of ‘National Security’ being the suppression, persecution of the Deep State’s political enemies. Namely the American people who overwhelmingly support Trump. It’s official now. We are living in an inversion of reality where evil is good, and good is evil. Exactly what the Serpent told Eve about good evil. We’ve seen this before and it always ends in its own destruction.
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!” ~ Isaiah 5:20-21
In other words, the Constitution permits this or is powerless to stop it which means we don’t have a legitimate government of, by,and for the people. Our rulers don’t care this is becoming more obvious by the day because CBDC and the electronic prison system is just around the corner.
Good breakdown of the info. Twitter was challenging only that they wanted to release general #’s not the specific attack on individual freedom of speech. So they are not heroes only CVA kind of guys. But the beautiful side of internet net is fools being able to investigate and spread info.
Thus soon cometh internet ².⁰

Eric Holder’s “Collateral Consequences”?
“Just don’t my job”. WTAF?! Stand up. No one, in a position to make a difference,has the fortitude to step up and act.
FUBAR. What is the solution?!?!
The reason we are now hearing unsupported accusations of Elon’s drug habit is likely so they can revoke his security clearance, which I believe he needs for his work at SpaceX and perhaps Starlink.
They want to destroy him for talking out of turn.
The thing is, with us common folk, one big reason a drug addiction is cause to revoke a security clearance is because, as we’ve seen with Hunter Biden, a serious substance abuse problem costs a lot of money, and can lead a person to accept bribes or selling out or some other crime to support that habit plus a lavish lifestyle.
Does anyone think Elon could be bribed into selling secrets?
Oops, I posted this on the wrong thread by accident.
It still sort of fits, though. They want to destroy Elon because he talks too much.
The debate in my mind is, do they want to maintain control in order to avoid accountability? Or are these control efforts all about the ultimate controlled collapse of the USA?
No one enjoys being held accountable for their poor decisions but add crimes into the mix and I can envision the attempt to avoid accountability is reason enough. However, Satan is synonymous with chaos and a controlled at first collapse provides wonderful chaos to provide both no accountability and the destruction of the USA simultaneously.
I’m simply preparing mentally for chaos and its ongoing aftermath.
No conflict. It’s both.
Along the lines of it being both, while not trying to be pessimistic, I do believe it to be an unavoidable outcome.
Like watching a movie while you already know the plot finale, yet you watch to the end.
Add into the mix we live in the era of binge-watching shows and people are well trained to just watch and not engage.
I would say the PEOPLE involved, crave control, not chaos and only create limited chaos as a cover in order to conceal.
For instance, I can not see TPTB shutting down the I-net, or power grid entirely.
THEY use both in order to exert CONTROL, and the last thing they want is to lose that control.
Rolling Black out/ brown outs, controlled scarcity suits their purposes, a shutting down of the entire system is counter to them, and actually benefits “Us”.
So how will the rightful stewards of our Constitutional Republic convince the judiciary to challenge these bad actors, who in fact represent a grave threat to our Nation’s security as they conceal themselves behind a blanket of national “security?”
The enemy is under the wire. Is our judiciary hopelessly tainted, as well?
Who besides Sundance is willing to confront the Wizard hiding behind the curtain?
This warning from an early editorial reveals the avenues by which busybodies, the covetous, and control freaks usurp power from an unsuspecting citizenry:
“Rule 11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks. Here the aid of the former encroachments and all the other precedents and way-paving maneuvers will be called in of course. But, in order to render the success more certain, it will be of special moment to give the most plausible and popular name that can be found to the power that is to be usurped. It may be called, for example, a power for the common safety or the public good, or, “the general welfare.” If the people should not be too much enlightened, the name will have a most imposing effect. It will escape attention that it means, in fact, the same thing with a power to do anything the government pleases “in all cases whatsoever.” To oppose the power may consequently seem to the ignorant, and be called by artful, opposing the “general welfare”, and may be cried down under that deception.” [Philip Freneau, “Rules for Changing a Limited Republican Government into an Unlimited Hereditary One.” National Gazette, 1792]
Sadly, our only legal protection from usurpations is an honorable Supreme Court.
Matt
Never underestimate the power of a mob. These people may find out in near future.
Never forget that in one of the initial Social Security cases to make it to the Supreme Court; the Court ruled that there is nothing in the Constitution that prevents the Federal Government from lying to you.
This is how all previous totalitarian regimes operate in a country that once was moral and ethical. They play the ‘national security’ card which really means the security of the central bank mafia (not us the peasants’ security). So once again John Adams warning is true:
John Adams said, “Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Morality and virtue are the foundation of our republic and necessary for a society to be free.
So we no longer abide in this type of society so now we must employ another founding father’s advice:
Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness] it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government…
and to institute new government…
That appears to be just what they are doing!
Instituting a new Government, unfortunately for US, they are the wrong people doing the Instituting.
They sure do not want the Constitution or anything like it.
First pull the 10A “ripcord” which has NOT been explored at all, yet.
50 States, and not ONE has a MAGA State Govt. pushing back against Fed. Gov. overreach, which is “how we got here”.
As Sundance said; “these rulings are essentially correct”!
For me, like I expect most other Treepers, it is really difficult to remain optimistic and hopeful, particularily because we have become such a “right now” society and what we get right now is all contray to our beliefs. Courts in general, and SCOTUS in particular does not generally provide “right now” solutuons but rather smaller foundatonal desisions that overtime “might” lead to the righting off wrong gratification for which we long.
I noticed in the desicion that the Court DID LEAVE OPEN A VERY CLEAR PATHWAY OR EXCEPTION to it’s desision: “Courts should [authors note: I read should as COULD] order review of such material in only the most extraordinary circumstances”.
I can thnk of many things, now pending litigation, that at least to my mind could certainly be considered “extraordinary” as we live in extraordianry times.
My point is that untill we see where the court comes down on the 14th amendment case, the overcharging in the J6 case, Presidential immunity and even the powers of the deep state (4th branch); we really can not be certain that all is lost.
SCOTUS prevents a PRIVATE business from exposing the TRUTH??! Holy-[REDACTED!]
EXACTLY! And this is why I hold that Jack Dorsey was captive in his capacity as controlling director of anything. When he begged congress for legislative reform, it was a cry for HELP. Most people said “It’s a trap! Don’t fall for it!” And while it’s probably true that such action would only have made things worse, it was clear to me that big tech’s relationship with domestic intelligence was VERY abusive.
Of course I’ve been tracking this issue since before “Echelon day” (please if you don’t know what this is, search it out and the history behind it. The NSA surveillance systems were running WAY before 9-11 and the patriot act!)
It’s all SO much larger and goes back MUCH further in time than people understand.
How is this for a fix of the rogue situation, assuming a Trump Presidency:
1) Determine what tasks the DoJ National Security Division has been responsible for and what it actually does.
2) Winnow out the domestic political espionage and machinations; define what is useful and necessary to true security of the US.
3) Shift those tasks to a competent entity subject to the Executive, with IG, Congressional, and where appropriate, Judicial oversight.
4) Legislate an end to the “Star Chamber” situation, where only a secret cabal can determine what “is” and “isn’t” without due process. Outlaw any return topolitition, with severe penalties for violation and a means to monitor for same.
5) Repeal whatever legislation created the NSD in the first place.
6) Require the IG to investigate all past actions of the NSD for conformity with the law. Expose and prosecute violations.
Sorry folks…..but I do not trust or have any faith in this Supreme Court! I believe they…or most of them have been comprimised or blackmailed and will do the bidding of those that hold the power…….or they will be outed to the people and lose their lifetime appointment, ruin their careers, .ives, families. Hoping they do the right thing…….is like passing gas! It’s going to take something extraordinary! Think….we are at war…..so something beyond what we see and think as normal proceedure…..THATS coming!
Hi Sundance,
You are leaving something out.
Namely, the Trump administration did not reverse this. Why?
My guess (Yes I realize you are asking Sundance) is that Mike Pompeo, whom he trusted, told him some bs reason why he shouldn’t.
Mike Pompeo told him not to pardon Julian Assange, which would have been the best thing he could have done not only for himself, but for the free world.
These SCOTUS rulings indicate that they are willing to give the EXECUTIVE BRANCH, especially intelligence agencies, CARTE BLANCHE to TYRANNIZE America and its citizens. They are ALLOWING COMMUNISM to take over the justice and political systems under the COLOR of LAW! This is entirely UNCONSITUTIONAL!
“These rulings are essentially correct, as following the process within a constitutional republic. However, here’s the rub. The weaponized Deep State are using this deference, as a tool in their Lawfare arsenal.
If the Deep State can unilaterally determine what constitutes “national security,” and if the judicial branch is not going to review or challenge those determinations, then the executive branch can target people, target institutions, and/or conduct domestic surveillance while hiding their conduct behind the shield of national security.
That’s exactly what the weaponized institutions (DHS, DOJ, FBI) have been doing.”
captured
No wonder Devin (ex-go8) Nunes is PDTs Truth Social right hand man.
The deep state have to tread very lightly around TS or expose how they do what they do on other platforms.
If you are not on TS, consider signing up, PDT is on blast every day lol
I am @screwauger on TS. I closed my Twitter prior to Elon taking over. Give me a follow as I follow back.
The Obama Deception continues !
This is what keeps Big Mike awake at night
All of this supporting the fact that the 2024 election is the one of if not the most critical in our history. The President is constitutionally the Executive Branch. If the Judicial Branch is going to defer to the Executive Branch in matters of national security, then the only way to change the corrupt system is by changing the Chief Executive. Fortunately that process is well underway.
I suspect the manipulation of the American public has been going on since the OSS got turned into the CIA after the second world war. They found that people could be manipulated, studied it, and out popped Operation Mockingbird. Television facilitated further control. Some people saw the negative effects on others, dubbing it the “boob tube”. Some have a natural cynicism that makes them less susceptible to propaganda, for me Frank Zappa comes to mind:
I’m The Slime
I am gross and perverted, I’m obsessed and deranged.
I have existed for years, But very little has changed.
I’m the tool of the Government, and industry too
For I am destined to rule, and regulate you.
I may be vile and pernicious, but you can’t look away.
I make you think I’m delicious, with the stuff that I say.
I’m the best you can get, have you guessed me yet?
I’m the slime oozin’ out from your TV set.
Very prescient from Mr. Zappa. Those who have a sense of what freedom is supposed to feel like know when something is wrong. In our current situation with Constitutional protections short circuited in the name of “National Security”, it is critical that we keep chipping away at the control mechanisms. It feels wrong because it is wrong.
My Father born in the 1920’s called it “The Boob Tube”
I don’t watch TV at all, I prefer reading books for entertainment.
TV uses what I call “Flicker Technology” everything constantly flickers before your eyes, one scene after another at very high speed. It would be very easy to use Subliminal messaging using flickering.
