The next six weeks will be very interesting, as the April 19th clock-ticking dynamic leading up to the expiration of the 702-surveillance authority looms louder. Some voices have said to me that President Trump needs to be careful of the Title-1 surveillance that surrounds him. I completely reject that approach.
There was a specific reason the Lawfare group charged Donald Trump with “national security” violations. Smart people can well understand the benefit to the surveillance state of the U.S. intelligence community, when Jack Smith defines President Trump as a national security threat under the same justification framework used against Anwar Nasser Abdulla al-Awlaki. The options for the FBI-CoIntel unit assigned to monitor Trump are expanded by the definitions of the DOJ-National Security Division.
Ultimately, sunlight is the best disinfectant, and the best defense against the FBI counterintelligence surveillance is to conduct affairs in a very public way. This approach, which I fully advocate and endorse, leaves the institutional watchers with gritted teeth as transparency makes it more difficult to create narratives that are contingent upon defining the innocuous as nefarious.
Additionally, if concern over the content of any meeting (think the insufferable Logan Act construct as previously created by Mary McCord) is generated, those approaches -when contrast against the ongoing Lawfare tactics- are made moot and useless to the NSD – and by extension the judicial branch, when President Donald Trump includes his legal counsel in any meeting. [Hi Mary]
Hungarian Prime Minister Orban is well advised by his counsel as is President Donald Trump. As an outcome of their nationalist ideology, both leaders are targets of the U.S. intelligence community (CIA) and national security state (DoS and USAID).
WASHINGTON DC – Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán traveled to Florida on Friday to visit Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, in a meeting blasted by U.S. President Joe Biden.
The get-together at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort came shortly after Orbán endorsed the former U.S. president’s bid to return to the White House this year. The meeting continued Trump’s embrace of autocratic leaders pushing back against democratic traditions.
The Trump campaign said late Friday that the two long-time allies discussed “a wide range of issues affecting Hungary and the United States, including the paramount importance of strong and secure borders to protect the sovereignty of each nation.”
Biden said of Trump: “You know who he’s meeting with today down in Mar-a-Lago? Orbán of Hungary, who’s stated flatly that he doesn’t thinks democracy works, he’s looking for dictatorship.”
“I see a future where we defend democracy, not diminish it,” Biden added, during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania on Friday. (read more)
Cry harder pudding brain: although to be fair, Joe Biden has no idea what his people are telling him to rail against. So, there’s that.
The alignment of geopolitical interests against the larger effort of the U.S. intelligence community and their multinational corporate benefactors continues.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban is one of the more unapologetic members of the international resistance group who dispatch the efforts of the WEF assembly. However, he’s not alone. More international leaders are becoming less concerned about the threats and influence of/from U.S. intelligence apparatus as the global cleaving continues.
Ultimately, if the U.S. deep state, represented by Jack Smith, Mary McCord, Norm Eisen, Andrew Weissmann and the Lawfare community are going to try and exploit their manufactured legal authorities, they run the risk of the American people asking questions about the political surveillance being conducted against the leading opposition to the current Democrat/Communist regime occupying the White House.
President Trump knows how to use this dynamic and push the awakening into the public psyche. These new forms of “democracy,” as described by the people behind Joe Biden, consist of something that is entirely divergent from the framework of the United States Constitution.
One of the best defenses is to just simply permit the communists to try and exploit their political surveillance as part of their election year narrative. Allowing the American people to see and understand the weaponized surveillance state is one of the most important elements to eliminate it.
It was a pleasure to visit President @realDonaldTrump today. We need leaders in the world who are respected and can bring peace. He is one of them! Come back and bring us peace, Mr. President! pic.twitter.com/rbCYvygzNy

I have always maintained a healthy distrust of Government agencies. My rule of thumb has been, [If it can be watered down to three or less letters, I don’t trust it.]
Hi Mary,lol
Hey Mary 🖕!
Orbán knows what another Biden Administration has planned for HUNGRY
SEE UKRAINE
Orban has a police and border officers. Why does he let Samantha Power into Hungary?
Remember, the old persona non-grata of diplomacy?
It still works!
Nice party scene at Mar A Lago mixing with politics. Fun times for Trump. He runs it like a private corporation.
The world knows, that’s why they fear him.
Thank you Sundance, for your beautiful photography. Absolutely stunning!
And you’re relentless pursuit of a broader perspective for greater understanding.
TY for the post & the photos.
Dick Carlson is advising Orban.
❤️
Beautiful photos Sundance. Could be in Condé Nast.
Are you suggesting that Sundance frequents Mar a Largo? Did he reveal that here?
I may have to get another tux,/s
REALLY ? after 200 plus years … your going to finally open up the ‘cesspool’ … that is man’s attempt to govern itself to the light of day … thank ‘GOD ALMIGHTY’ that mankind’s reign of terror on this planet ( masking itself as government … ) is almost over … NEVER AGAIN WILL MANKIND BE ALLOWED TO GOVERN ITSELF … this is just the bottom of a deep and degenerate hole dug by the ‘created ‘ trying to save it’s ass …
When the communist/fascist Left call Orban and Trump authoritarians intent on destroying “democracy” they mean Orban and Trump are intent on preserving democracy of THEIR countries’ demos, not the world’s. Orban and Trump are the nationalist resistance against WORLD authoritarians using 3rd world flooding to drown out the votes of the citizens of their own countries.
And yes, illegals can vote, at least their voter registrations can be used to vote for them in federal races. Bill Clinton’s NVRA, Section 7, REQUIRES public assistance agencies and their hired agents (NGOs/religious charities) to assist any “client” with voter registration, no proof of citizenship required.
Precisely why each illegal entrant receives a smartphone. All that is needed is a name and a number, real or fictitious, to go with it.
Exactly … Which is how we all know that the excuse of “we can’t track them and find them to bring them back for their ‘asylum hearing'”. These cretins know exactly these invaders are at all times, the names they operate under, etc. It’s all on their free phones.
Thank you for your clarity Sundance. Love the photography
If anyone is acting an autocrat it’s Bi dung.
This is well worth tracking for much larger implications.
China and Hungary offer a glimpse into the deeper actions on the global security/financial war being fought. Putting aside the questionable decision by Orban to openly allow China to install police stations (remember, China has also done this secretly including, some say, in the US); putting aside the quid pro quo of China being allowed to establish military presence in some countries (e.g., Pakistan port); the even bigger picture is capital flows. China, despite its internal economic problems, is actively engaged in providing investment capital to developing economies – access to funding not denominated in dollars. This has always been a strategic lever for US policy makers – owner of the reserve currency and capital markets large enough to service domestic and global demand. The US has been able to “twist” arms for a long, long time to force non-financial behaviors and commitments.
What’s the other end of this? Debt. Debt paid in US dollars. Debt that has become much more expensive as interest rates increased; debt that many foreign companies in capital intensive industries often used highly leveraged instruments to support (including global companies with HQs in the US); debt that measured by the dollar index was becoming more expensive by the day (until recently) as the dollar index increased (i.e., less bang for the buck).
True, higher interest rates in the US promotes purchases of US treasuries. But as those rates increase the dollar index increases. The long-run play of all of this does not look good especially as the US (we) appear to be moving into a period of stagflation.
We’re losing real power globally. It’s accelerated because of the heavy handed approach by the current administration (e.g., sanctions) – regardless of whether that is intended for domestic control purposes.
Yes – foreign wars bad.
Declining US global influence also bad – Yes.
We’re getting *crewed in many ways people don’t see. The elites behind this are making their bucks – they operate globally.
The petrodollar/reserve currency bulwark of American global power is under assault. China knows this; Russia knows this…all the countries who had no option other than US debt instruments know this. And they are changing the dynamic.
Orban is also being squeezed by EU PTB. His decision process is easily understood. That said, is he just walking Hungary into the same financial trap only with a different task master?
Vast implications in all of this.
Chyna is a dead man walking. Global power belongs to the nations that can survive world wide economic collapse, energy prices soaring, famine and demographics. US, France, Russia, Australia, New Zealand perhaps a few others (Poland, Nigeria?). Chyna definitely not on that list. US and Russian allies may get help for a while. Everyone else has a problem.
The architecture is glorious, breathtaking .
There is ( purposely) little beauty in modernity.
“ as the April 19th clock-ticking dynamic leading up to the expiration of the 702-surveillance authority looms louder.”
I want to note the significance of the date. It is the date of the beginning of our revolution in 1775.
I can assure you, wherever Barack Obama is today he is throwing dishes. He is throwing silverware. He is throwing statues. He is kicking dogs and he is cursing all white people for what Donald Trump and Victor Orban did yesterday.
astute
If there ever is a presidential candidate debate, not likely, and the “our democracy” subject comes up, President Trump should calmly and simply turn to the resident and say “The United States is a constitutional republic. You’ve been in politics for 5o years, one would think that you would know that”.
None of these people who have received the 4am email with the “our democracy” talking point have ever been challenged to their face.
The Southern WH looks like Camelot!
This would fit right in with the strategy of The Great Awakening Plan. With Our President as bait, draw the Demon Possessed Cretins out from under the slimy rocks where they’ve been operating for so long right into the light of public consciousness. Let them commit their corruption, fraud, and outright crimes as they get increasingly desperate because experiencing that is what it is going to take to wake up enough of the sleeping Normies to supporting what needs to be done to get this absolute mess cleaned up.
Brilliant. YES!! 👊👊
Always MAGA👊👊🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
LoVE our Viktor Orban!! And President Trump!
yep – hold meetings right out in public in the broad light of day
that way, PresTrump doesn’t have to explain later that “it was a PERFECT phone call”
gnomesayin’?
So, if you’re a nationalist and want law and order, our culture, language, and borders to survive for future generations you’re an enemy of the state, a state where we are third class citizens in our own country. It’s like we are being ruled by alien shape-shifting lizard people who claim this country, and the world for themselves.
