Laying the groundwork for uncomfortable discussions is never easy. However, sometimes the best approach is to cite examples and then expand. Here’s two factual examples.
♦ EXAMPLE FACT #1 – In December 2017, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes asked the White House, specifically President Trump, to declassify the “Nunes Memo.” President Trump did not declassify the memo because President Trump was told by the concentric lawyers within the office that he should not. So, he didn’t.
[We eventually did see the memo, albeit with negotiated redactions, because Nunes (and Kash Patel) played by the Silo rules and entered a period of negotiations with the Intelligence Community. Nunes leveraged reauthorization of FISA-702 authority, predicated on declassifying his memo. We The People subsequently saw the memo, but we were screwed by the FISA reauthorization.]
♦ EXAMPLE FACT #2 – In January 2020, as he exited the White House, President Trump, using his office, played by the Silo rules and asked for the Russiagate documents to be made public. They never were.
This is such a great example of “Truth Management.”
Y’all are probably familiar with this declassification letter written by Mark Meadows. But what you didn’t see before is how it was designed to fail.
This approach is following the DC rules of the Intelligence Community (IC) Silos.
Mark Meadows, a Truth Manager, intentionally – with purpose and intent – followed this approach because he knew it would fail.
Meadows didn’t make a mistake; he was not mistaken in his approach; he didn’t make an error. This is purposeful.
In January 2020, breathing a sigh of relief, the people around President Donald Trump, were managing his exit and defending the system as they exited power.
They requested the IC Silos to release information, knowing full well the information would never be released.
The only way this information would be guaranteed to be released to the public, is if President Trump took those file boxes personally into the Brady Room, and using his full plenary power and authority, gave them to the media and said, “I hereby designate under my official act power, that this information is of priority to the American people.”…. and literally handed it to the media.
Giving the information to the Silo operators and saying please release this; a process that follows the rules of the IC system that is designed to protect itself; only ensures it will never reach sunlight.
Meadows and everyone else around this moment, knew this to be true. They knew this would fail.
Understanding these two examples is the first step in understanding how the DC Silo system works.
♦ In research projects about detailed granular events attached to corruption in Washington DC, eventually you reach a point where you have identified the specific people involved.
That’s when things get sketchy.
When doing these research projects, you discover that certain DC “insiders,” media people and current/former silo staff, names most of you know very well, are also aware of the information you are discovering.
The “insiders” are generally positioned in such a manner as most of the information-aware public consider them “Truth Tellers.”
Alternative media now gives the Truth Tellers a larger influence voice. This is where it gets interesting.
When you have nailed down the story with direct, irrefutable evidence against the bad actors, you start to notice a pattern emerge about how the Truth Teller media types consistently stay away from certain names.
If you do this long enough, and find the same outcome frequently enough, you realize most of these “Truth Tellers” are not that at all; they are, instead, Truth Managers.
The DC Truth Managers are willfully blind to the activity of certain people they have identified as what can only be reasonably assumed to be CIA operators.
Having spent thousands of hours on this subject, no other reasonable explanation make sense. There are bad actors in DC that I can only believe are “CIA operators.” Why? Because earnestly after years of doing this, I cannot think of any other reason why they would be protected.
Why is CIA operative Nellie Ohr openly discussed, yet the stronger and more important name, Mary McCord, purposefully avoided. I have reached the conclusion that Mary McCord is factually a CIA operator. Nothing else makes sense.
♦ Be careful about assigning the label “Truth Teller” toward any alternative media DC insider who is a “reformed journalist” or “former staff member” of the machine.
There are well known voices from inside the system, that exit the corporate media world, and enter the alternative media world, only to carry on the same purpose.
I see the information managers frequently now and identify them easily by who they *do not* talk about.
Truth Tellers have no vested financial interest in the information, or control thereof; Truth Managers always do.
When a current or former information manager comes across a story of corruption that involves a “CIA designated bad actor,” they never discuss that person in their information reveal. They continue the protection.
A good rule of thumb is never to think of anyone from inside the DC information system, regardless of their disposition, as a Truth Teller.
Every Information Manager was matriculated, and are compromised, by the system around them that is entirely based on corrupt activity.
Hang around a one-legged tribe long enough, and inherently you begin limping.
• Truth Teller Examples: Patel Durov, Glenn Greenwald, Edward Snowden and Matt Taibbi. Pavel Durov (arrested in France) now lives in Dubai. Glenn Greenwald now lives in Brazil. Edward Snowden now lives in Russia.
• Truth Manager Examples: John Solomon, Sean Hannity, Sara Carter, Catherine Herridge, Steve Bannon, Kash Patel, Glenn Beck, Jack Posobiec, Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin and the entire Fox News lineup. There are many more, but the financial aspect runs consistent.
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange had to agree to stop being a Truth Teller and become a Truth Manager in order to be released from prison. As he readily admits, part of the agreement was to give the Western Intelligence Community first right of review for any information WikiLeaks would release. This shifts Julian Assange from Truth telling to Truth managing. In this unique case, I don’t fault him a bit.
♦ In our larger discussion of information, how does Information Management surface:
Let me give you a great example using this video shared yesterday.
Listen carefully to what Kash Patel says at the 01:23 moment about the “Russiagate report” that was written, and how the “ICA” (Intelligence Community Assessment) was constructed with fraudulent information from the CIA.
As Patel notes, “Gina buried it.” That’s Gina Haspel, the Trump CIA Director who replaced Mike Pompeo.
Do you guys even understand how amazing this Kash appointment is?!
Let me remind you pic.twitter.com/nLo4aIFuDF
— Defender of the Republic 🇺🇸 (@realdefender45) December 1, 2024
Now, you might think that Patel is a Truth Teller in this segment but stand back and think about it with fresh eyes, non-pretending eyes.
Patel knows, because he (with others) created a report that highlights a fraudulent CIA operation. A report that was absorbed by the CIA and buried.
Put another way, Patel is talking about a body that he knows is buried. Ergo, people might say, “Patel knows where the body is buried,” right?
But ask yourself, with the known stakes to the nation as an outcome of horrific fraud, why didn’t this self-identified “#2 in the Intelligence Community” bring this information forward regardless of outcome?
Is Patel a “Truth Teller,” or is he a “Truth Manager,” obeying the Silo rules out of self-interest?
New Eyes – Use them.
What is the difference between Edward Snowden and Kash Patel?
One is a Truth Teller the other is a “buy my books” Truth Manager.
Of course, Kash Patel defenders will justify by saying he was just waiting to release the information he alluded to, until he was in a better position. So, his plan to reveal the truth was to: (1) hope Trump won the election, (2) hope he would be appointed to an administration position, and then (3) hope to be able to reach into the CIA silo and somehow retrieve his work product. Please. Just stop.
As a “confirmed”, not “acting” FBI Director, Kash Patel *could* declassify information or documents that is the exclusive equity of the FBI Silo, but only the FBI Silo.
If there was a joint silo operation, he cannot.
If the information was from a source outside the FBI silo, he cannot.
If the information is not 100% exclusive to the FBI silo, he cannot.
Modify your outlook accordingly.
♦ The “continuing central power” that Patel talks about already exists.
This is part of the problem with people who come from inside the system; and it is a problem for those who cannot spend thousands of hours understanding it.
The IC Silo rules, are followed by people who matriculate surrounded by the IC Silo rules.
The “central power” needed to fracture the system is the physical person of the President of the United States.
The President is, well, Snowden-proof. The President, not the office, the actual physical person, is the power of the system. The epicenter of the system where the atom splits, is the physical President.
Acting in his “official duty,” the President of the United States can take a document (any document) and walk into the Brady Room, hand it to a journalist and that document is automatically declassified.
He doesn’t need a stamp on it. He doesn’t need anyone else’s approval or permission. He, the physical person, the President, can simply say, “I view this in my official capacity as President of the United States to be a vital interest to the American public,” and hand it to anyone he chooses. That’s the central power.
Knowing this, knowing the factual reality of it, is exactly why the concentric circles around the President, intentionally and forcefully stop him from doing it. The silo system self-protects.
If it can be done this way, then why wasn’t it done this way?
Kash Patel, Devin Nunes, Ric Grenell, John Ratcliffe etcetera. all know this to be true. So why wasn’t it done?
Go ask Edward Snowden.
♦ Impeachment is the political backstop that protects the IC Silo business model.
Impeachment origins are amorphous by definition.
Declassify something the IC Silo operators don’t like, and it’s a national security breach worthy of impeachment.
These are the warnings to President Trump built into the Silo rules. This is why the White House Counsel is so important. This is why the Nunes Memo was never declassified. This is why President Trump relied on Mark Meadows, which ultimately culminated in an FBI retrieval operation in Mar-a-Lago.
See the political backstop?
Wait, are you saying there’s no point in declassifying then?
No. Exactly the opposite.
Strike now. The House is still in GOP hands.
Force the Legislative Branch to impeach President Trump in the first year as the only way to stop him.
Draw out the enemy. However, don’t YOU be so naïve that you do not take the time to understand exactly, in granular detail, what will be needed to do the actual declassifying.
If the Legislative Branch prioritizes retention of the system and takes down Trump via impeachment, JD Vance has to be willing to continue it… And so on, and so on…
Retired Magistrate here: If I remember correctly sometime in 2019 I believe President Trump made a statement to the effect that if the public really knew how the government worked they would never trust it again.
So in my opinion President Trump will do what he can to clean government up a little (not really draining the swamp); by Executive Orders make our economy strong again, work out peace agreements with Ukraine/Russia and in the Middle East along with strengthening the border and getting rid of most of the illegals; mainly the ones that have been committing the most violent crimes.
I am a realist and I think if President Trump accomplishes the above his term will have been a success. One man can’t clean up over 100 years of swamp making in one term.
For those that are disappointed just think what four years of Harris/Walz would have been and be thankful that we will have four years of Trump.
I’ll be impressed if we hold the House and Senate in 2026 and end well in 2028 so another republican can take his place next.
The US and the other 5 Is are responsible for at least 50% of the evil that current exists across most of the globe. Personally waiting to see what happens when one of the new PDT cabinet level people tries to play the same DC shuffle/IC silo game against PDT. See what happens besides recess appointments when Mike Johnson puts the House in recess for 10 days and PDT forces the Senate into recess. That 10 day or 2 week period will be when DC explodes
Got to make sure to wipe out the fraud or democrats will get in again . Wipe out the fraud and they won’t.
Except for their constant lies & guilt
projection .
And the corrupt RINOS, you know we have a 5 I’s and a 5th column to contend with.
Holding the House and Senate with RINOs is a continuation of a shell game.
Republicans needs to be replaced by MAGA.
The democrats are busy imploding.
They stole 4 Senate seats and 12 House seats so they are not imploding. They will probably steal the House back in 2026 and maybe the Senate too.
This^^. This is where I am as well. I think to really demolish the IC is most likely impossible…at least under his 4 years…it will be a slow process with 2 steps forward, 2 steps back I am sure…I think we have been unrealistic thinking that this is going to happen and “justice” will be seen…look at what just happened with Hunter’s blanket pardon…no, I am now, like you Marcia, settling (LOL!!) for an economy on fire and living my best life for the rest of it (looking at 60 next year and would like to retire one day!)….
As Marcia says, ‘So in my opinion President Trump will do what he can to clean government up a little (not really draining the swamp);’ – true, this is pretty much all that only PDJT can do…
BUT, add God to the mix and we’ll see what shakes out!
There’s a whole lot of shaking that’s going to be going on. This next month is going to have those shakings happening.
Wait and see – God’s going to be moving in our nation before PDJT even gets inaugurated.
People that were cheated into office are not going to be staying.
Election fraud exposure and proof will see many of DC elites paying the piper for the things they’ve brought about.
President Trump, with God’s hand on his shoulder and The Holy Spirit in his ear is going to help change the world – not just our One Nation Under God!
Pray, and watch God at work…
To God Be the Glory!
I believe it.
Yes, to God be the Glory! God is moving right now! Amen!
Never give up. Reach for at least my 84 years of history changing daily. It would take more than one book to express the social and technological changes I have witnessed since Pearl Harbor.
Not enough. Add:
– eliminate hundreds of Federal departments
– eliminate hundreds of thousands of Federal positions, if not a million or more
– reduce the number of 4-star Generals (now 44?) and staffs
– audit Ukraine $$$
– free non-violent J6 prisoners, Pardons, speedy procedures for others
– build hundreds of additional miles of border Wall
– exit old EU trade deals / Marshall Plan
– publish some key documents
– etc
Respectfully, the magistrates’ outlook is limited for a once-in-a-generation President.
There are additional things President Trump can do provided he has time as he accomplishes Mr. Perot’s additional points. If the FBI cannot be crushed, then strip it of as much of it’s power as possible and move it out of D.C. He may have to not release the facts of President Kennedy’s murder in trade but wouldn’t it be worth it?
It should work something like tariffs, only internally against the swamp. He can release facts leading to felony charges (the tariff) or he can eliminate the Department of Education (as an example). As corrupt as the uniparty is, it’s a target rich environment and President Trump should run out of goals before he runs out of potential felony charges.
I was twenty-two and in the Air Force in California when Kennedy was murdered. I remember that I was on my way to lunch. I saw the next few days unraveled on TV. I have read innumerable literature on this subject and have concluded that someone is lying to us. I am a medaled sharpshooter with a bolt action rifle @ 100 yards @ a stationary target. Kennedy was in motion. I moved to Dallas in 1974 and visited the site of his murder. I went into the book depository and the suspicious wall outside. Everybody lies at one time or another, but the continuance of it is embarrassment, protection, or coercion. People, Evil people are ruling us.
“No and duh” — and I offer that without sarcasm.
Free all J6 prisoners.
If modestly disruptive prisoners are awaiting trial – which should be ILLEGAL (what happened to a speedy trial?) – release them with time served.
I also don’t understand why this is taking so long
The January Party. …just *think* about it.
This federal bloated blob perpetually expands itself.
It continues to deliver less, while consuming more (freedoms, tax $, regulations, etc.).
What Doo Ewe Think George Washington would do ?
Chop down the whole effing “cherry tree!”
😡💢
Washington had to be called in to be president from private life.
He considered running again before his death.
He challenged centuries of monarchy.
“The hereditary branches of modern governments are the patrons of privilege and prerogative, and not of the natural rights of the people, whose oppressors they generally are.”
–Thomas Jefferson to George Washington, 1784
https://www.ushistory.org/documents/farewelladdress.htm
Order for a firing squad.
If he cannot clean it up, then the Republic is truly doomed. I believe he can and will.
He knows that his time is limited, and being a pragmatic patriot, he will provide the American people as much justice as Almighty God will provide.
As my dear mother used to say ‘be thankful for small mercies’
Praise God!
Thank you Sundance. A truly sobering post and cautionary dose of reality for us to manage expectations. I thank you Marcia for applying this to POTUS Trump’s term 2. ITA. I am thankful we are even at this point to even contemplate the ‘what’s next’ in term 2 for an election cycle that at times seemed so stacked against us and the maga-nificient result that was achieved.
POTUS Trump’s personally delivering classified documents to the media in the Brady room was duly noted for the first year. The risk of impeachment in doing so was also noted as surely this will cause an epic response to the MOAB PDJT delivers.
It will be interesting to see how the prioritization of promises goes. I do think that PDJT wants to give relief to our country and particularly the middle class from the ravages of the OBiden administration addressing illegal immigration, energy dependence and inflation reduction in particular. Does declassification rank as high as these issues for main street? Will the response from the deep state interfere with achieving those goals? Very plausible it will so acting on it in the first year gives me pause.
I went back and reviewed Agenda 47 again and it enhanced my perspective on this complex reality.
https://www.donaldjtrump.com/platform
but GOD can…literally in the blink of any eye.
I will remind, in this physical natural world, we reflect on the supernatural force of God who directs us.
WE can NEVER truly understand and predict this, but we observe this truth, because history proves these truths. The promise lives on and never dies. ever.
so I would remind, when you think it’s just impossible…that things can’t get any better, and that just a little bit of Improvement is to assumed: NEVER EVER UNDERESTIMATE THE GLORY AND THE POWER OF GOD.
amazing things happen every single day. we never see it. We are not God. We cannot be God. But we experience these wonders and that is a testament to the almighty…as well, our faith.
never lose faith in miracles..they happen ALL THE TIME. every day, one by one, to each and all.
Shots fired..two misses. shots fired, the secret police state tried to subvert the PEOPLES’ power.
this failure of evil will be a pattern to remind the faithful:
GOD WILL NEVER ABANDON YOU, the righteous faithful.
God Bless America
Sundance is a Truth Teller. There aren’t very many Truth Tellers in the world today, and even fewer in the Political/Media Complex.
We have the ability to become Truth Tellers ourselves. Pray for wisdom, speak truth at all times and become “salt and light” to the corner of the world you live in.
Have faith in God. He will do the rest.
amen!
To be a truth teller you have to have eyes to see and ears to hear and be very courageous.
Go Normandy Beach on this. Jugular. Or the electorate and media become overwhelmed and eventually immune or desensitized to it. The 80 20 principle. 20% of the declassification will do 80% of the telling. And even then the process will need to be crowd sourced. But crowd sourced to truth tellers not managers. The problem is who is which. You can’t tell by looking.
Truth tellers shall be punished! Who has nothing to lose?
Legitimate Truth Tellers are those who are willing to lose everything for the sake of the truth. Only God can supply that kind of courage.
Another name for Truth Manager is Liar.
or the mis- in misinformation could simply mean misleading, as in direct peoples attention to someplace other than where they need to look.
That one.
There is no such thing as a “former” CIA employee, at least among the living. I believe the correct terminology is “open cover”. It’s not like the Cold War era. Mass digital and video surveillance around the world means truly clandestine service is quite rare these days.
That’s why they do it out in the open. See SDs several posts on Sam in Georgia.
The difference is that the MSM and Truth Managers will never call her out. They will never call USAid the CIAs “community engagement team.” Or how about the role of Vicky Nuland creating the Ukraine fiasco? How many Americans are aware that the CIA forced a coup and installed Zelensky?
How many are aware the forced a coup and installed Biden?
“Everything is the opposite of what it should be.”
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/110662848061185112
aware
People don’t vote for forever fiascos.
and how many are aware that she and a certain Fauz news host are very very good friends.
CIA retirees work in the USA with plausible deniability that they work for the CIA. In order to fully function as a member of the deep state, the CIA – barred from operating in the USA – uses the so called retired agents, but finds non-traceable was to continue to pay them. Look at the CIA agents who were part of the Watergate break in team, whose sole purpose was to get caught and then after a decent interval they land on their feet, ala E. Howard Hunt. His wife didn’t survive, but then she was the weak link – the paymaster.
in order to preserve and avoid memory holes, I recommend that you write a full and proper account. Many people even older than I am ..I might have 10 more years of lucid active life left, ..don’t have the information.. and the truth you see, IS so powerful…indeed, for an aged person to change their minds based on truth is truly a powerful transmission.
God Bless America
living
If you were the CIA director before and after the cold war, you might view a bloated make-work bureaucracy as cult-like.
“And out of this grew what was later named — and condemned — as the “cult” of intelligence, an inbred, distorted, elitist view of intelligence that held it to be above the normal processes of society, with its own rationale and justification, beyond the restraints of the Constitution, which applied to everything and everyone else.”
–William Colby (My Life In The CIA)
I expect that President Trump has a war plan, which he will never disclose, to fight this known enemy within.
It’s very good that Sundance is taking this risk to inform the American People on the history of the CIA and the FBI and explain the truth of the current operations.
President Trump is a War-Time President and Sundance is the War-Time Truth-Teller, perhaps not by design (?) but by necessity.
Whatever the case may be, my gratitude goes out to both.
Good thing TCT is deep-state proofed.
I’ve never trusted Patel. Way back Sundance pointed out that Patel and Nunes said nothing when congress was extending the FISA spy on Americans bill. Because they depended on being part of the silo system.
Same. Man loves the sound of his own voice…he is literally EVERYWHERE, on every podcast, every interview, hawking his book…he strikes me as almost unserious in a way…
I haven’t said anything because I thought I was the only one with a dim view of Kash.
I seem to get out of bounds regularly so I thought maybe this was one of those times.
When Trey Gowdy gushes over Kash….
Funny tid bit the current speaker of the house, ardently opposed the renewal … before he was speaker of the house. (see tucker and greenwald interview, greenwald had interviewed Johnson about it just a few months before he became speaker when he was still backbenching, then poof nearly overnight change in opinion.)
I will comment, as I have before, that Patel has always struck me as MAGA for commercial purposes only — “MAGA for Pay”, so to speak. We’ll see what he actually does if and when he gets into a position of power.
Let’s see what he does once in…remember in Jan of 2017 and PRIOR many conservatives didn’t think PDJT would operate like he did in the Oval Office and surprised many people.
In looking back at history, beginning with the warning of the military-industrial (and other) complex given by outgoing President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and the sudden ending of Kennedy, pretty sure that’s when the deep state decided then to overthrow our government – so
with all that has come about since then, from Watergate to Russiagate, it’s a miracle we are even at this point in time, that President Trump is standing, that openings such as this online site and some format for freedom of speech beginning to become normal for platforms such as X,
please keep on showing us things to look at, so we don’t fall into the trap of illusion and then begin doing our own pretending. There’s work to do, and the more people who find it’s nice to stop pretending to not know or see things, the more inroads this next Trump Administration can make.
Look how far our nation has come since that beautiful golden escalator ride.
“Force the Legislative Branch to impeach President Trump in the first year as the only way to stop him.”
May be hard to do since the republicucks let the Dims steal about 8 seats in the House that we know of. The only conclusion I can come to is that the clucks are too stupid and docile to protect their seats. At this point I’m not sure we have a real majority. One or two can be bought off easily.
We are at least 5 shy of a majority. Those who refused to vote for Gaetz are dems.
Straight up. Until those are voted out we will not have a majority.
I’ll take Patel over Wray any day!
Looks to me that kash and bondi will be a cover up team,,both seem a bit sketchy
The only way this information would be guaranteed to be released to the public, is if President Trump took those file boxes personally into the Brady Room, and using his full plenary power and authority, gave them to the media and said, “I hereby designate under my official act power, that this information is of priority to the American people.”…. and literally handed it to the media.
This is exactly what President Trump needs to do with everything the Deep State has been hiding.
Ty Sundance. Much to chew on in this post. Most important, changing my own perceptions of how to be/see the difference between truth & management of it, starting at home within everyday living 1st. Do I call a spade a spade or prefer to call it a heart on a consistent basis…
“Strike now. The House is still in GOP hands.
Force the Legislative Branch to impeach President Trump in the first year as the only way to stop him.
Draw out the enemy. However, don’t YOU be so naïve that you do not take the time to understand exactly, in granular detail, what will be needed to do the actual declassifying.”
What will be needed? I ask this sincerely. Strike now? Either Trump declassifies now or on his way out. Either way, it gets done. Right? Unless he needs an insurance policy for he and his immediate family. Then what? Because as the article is framed, we’re on the same carousel we were on in 2016-2020, only now with Patel, Bondi, etc. instead of Keebler Sessions/Bondo Barr and Chris Wray. Maybe I’m missing something that’s flown entirely over my head.
Given all the issues at hand, should declassifying even be the top priority? Or should rounding up and deporting all the illegals be top of the to do list? We certainly don’t win any midterms with 10 million “newly imported” voters (ballots) and an economy still in shambles…and will the general public even care about Russiagate and all the dirty players involved? JoeBlow in Madison WI isn’t going to give two cow patties who Mary McCord is, or if she’s bound for prison. He cares how much rent he’s gotta come up with and if he can put gas in his truck.
Yes, we wonks here at Treehouse care. We care deeply about the perversion of our justice system and the radicalization of our Federal government.
But the rest of the country? We are talking about a general population with the attention spans of rabbits in spring time.
I don’t know jack doody, but I DO know we cannot have JD “Yale” Vance at the helm.
My attention span is long enough to remember President Trump has not been sworn in yet, and you are already throwing Vance out before his metal is tested.
Let’s work on now and helping to find a way to save our country.
JD Vance is untested, suspect, and at the very least, still wet behind his ears. IMO we can’t afford to lose Trump over declassifying. That’s my opinion. There are too many other pressing matters.
As far as working on saving this country? That’s pretty rich, considering I started helping my parents with political campaigns in 1979, going door to door and handing out pamphlets and literature for Reagan, being dragged to ward caucuses/state conventions/fund raisers, stuffing thousands upon thousands of envelopes, helping my dad put up yard signs on weekends, while my mom spent hours and hours calling to get the Republican votes out, and standing at the polls with both my parents”electioneering” on election days. I was 10. So yeah…I’ll get right on your suggestion.
Did @Johnny hit a nerve?
Our collective past glorious acts landed us here. Do we have another viable option to finding a way to save our country?
Given his past public abhorrence of President Trump and his allegiance to the tech oligarchy (Thiel) how can Vance be trusted until his metal has been through the fire and back with our President?
Mettle.
Because I’m a big picture person, and worked 20 years for an international company & traveled extensively, I’m very worried about the gross lack of financial acumen of the average American.
Any serious fiscal/financial changes that P. Trump can effect take 12-18 months to be fully felt throughout the economy. Takes TIME. It’s take PATIENCE & HOPE on the part of the people, grown by encouragement from seasoned people who can help folks stay the course. That’s US.
Financial education must be part of the education of children from 12-18+ years old. Must be everything from budgeting to beginning investing. Also public neighborhood seminars for adults, with the goal of improving personal financial security within the budgets they have..
If we don’t do this, the people will vote next time for the next person to promise “free stuff”.
Well that made my head hurt.
Hopefully Trump understands because i thought i knew who the ad guys were now even more show up.
Mark Meadows was rewarded by the MIC for his deceit by getting indicted multiple times by Fani Willis and others and having to spend $250,000 on lawyers who couldn’t even get a federal judge to transfer his case to federal court because he was a federal officer acting on behalf of the President of the United States as required by law!
It sounds like Sundance is saying there is not going to be any truth telling in the Trump Administration.
Many of Trump’s appointees are NOT MAGA. Some are extremely damaging such as the new DEA pick. Trump seems to have decided to not pursue any accountability re: “vaccines” and has used the RFK Jr pick to run interference for him. Instead of examining the dangerousness of the entire vaccine schedule, all RFK Jr. talks about is bad food. No children are refused entrance to school for not eating cereal. They are refused entrance to school if they don’t have all their “vaccines.” There are many more vaccines now every single year than the year before. None have been safety tested. NONE.
The IC depends upon narrative dominance. All they care about is getting their narrative to be the dominant narrative. They don’t care how many lies they tell. They don’t care how many people are killed or die as a result of their decisions. They just want to have their destructive efforts covered up in the media that are paid to tell lies to Americans.
If Kash Patel is merely a truth manager, we as a country are as screwed now as before Trump got elected. We don’t need four more years of conspiring with the IC to cover up their crimes.
If Americans cannot be told the truth by our government, we need a new government.
How is Trump going to be any different from any other President if he is signing on to IC silos?
Agreed on the guy from Florida from DEA…I read a thread today and he is BAD BAD BAD…Is someone lying to DJT or is he just not caring…head scrather for sure…
Seven years ago, respectfully, Sundance said “The Big Ugly” was coming.
He then understandably flipped 180 degrees.
Trump knows how to say “You’re fired.” Nothing to lose this time.
So HHS must have two coordinated, but separate, departments, one focusing on food, the other on vaccines.
However, the people brought in to address the values MUST be credible people (I. e., NOT Mikovitz, Tenpenney, Humphries, Ardis, etc. Must be folks with impeccable creds, like Dr’s. Risch, McCullough, etc, & work with Dr. Battacharaya.
The Big Ugly must be destroyed.
Thank you, Sundance, for the cold, hard truth.
Matt Taibbi and an associate of his, Walter Kirn, have a you tube channel where they review current topics in the news, called Racket News, ATW Live on Mondays; this is tonight’s episode should people want to check it out; scheduled to begin around 8:00 p.m. east coast time:
Why did MT stop his Twitter Files releases?
Why did George Papadopoulos threaten to showcase his cash – physical $10,000 bribe / set up – and then renege?
Why did Sydney Powell – release the Kraken – withdraw from the fight?
He is thick and probably compromised – His thought process is liberal in its shallow logic or is he playing the valley boy role?
I think it seems plausible that there was no use in spilling the beans until a second administration in which they would then be in a position to do something about it.
So, impeachment proceedings can shed light upon which silo is trying to hide something, the trick is finding out their true origin. Bizarre stuff. I’ll just be happy if “truth tellers” can feel safe living in the USA again. My take is the truth managers can only have good intentions if they are doing so to survive.
“So, impeachment proceedings can shed light upon which silo is trying to hide something, the trick is finding out their true origin.”
What I read from this……Heads of Silos will not declassify the Truth because they all have something to hide and/or are controlled by the IC. Trump must know that the Senate will not confirm anyone willing to declassify Truth. Trump will have to declassify the Truth and release it publicly himself. All IC has to stop him is threat of impeachment, even though declassification is fully within his power and authority.
If they start by chopping down the top several layers of the IC deep state, then they should have an easier time fighting the silos.
President Trump has to do this himself because he cannot trust anyone to follow his orders…
“Acting in his “official duty,” the President of the United States can take a document (any document) and walk into the Brady Room, hand it to a journalist and that document is automatically declassified.”
IMHO the only way to deal with the Truth Managers (and the closeted Truth Managers passing as Truth Tellers) is the same way proven to deal with the Election Managers – To make the truth “Too Big to Rig.”
Release huge volumes of information very quickly. Do not give the IC time to massage it or hide it. Give them a hard 72 hour deadline to review or else it is going out raw (48 hours even better, 24 hrs not out of the question.) Give them multiple simultaneous dilemmas to deal with. Put them in the position where they cannot game out all the angles or synchronize their cover-stories and they get careless.
Lying well requires planning and memory. Conspiracies require coordination and mutual interest. Deny them the ability to plan, coordinate and cross-reference because the tsunami of information is too much for them to handle. Give them no choice other than to tell the truth else they further incriminate themselves and expose their own complicity.
Use the “Prisoner’s Dilemma” to trap them.
Trump has IQ and boundless energy enough to make them unable to keep up.
All this makes your reliance on Best Men to run the important agencies unworkable. Trump needs to establish the Department of Information Services that is directly under his control. Put ALL of the programmers, servers and applications in the new department. Then Trump can access the information he wants and do with it what he wants. As long as he leaves the data in the individual agencies, he’ll lose the info game.
As the old saying goes: “The longest journey begins with one step.” Facing the mountain of a huge job is hard for anyone, no matter how capable. I learned to break the task up into smaller goals that eventually completed the mountain job. Concentrate on goal 1. When that’s accomplished, go to goal 2, and so on. No, real life doesn’t go smoothly and often the priorities/goals have to shift no matter what, but the basics are to break the mountain down to a set of smaller jobs. I used to run long distance races – if you think of the whole race, you’ll never start.
There is a time to be a truth manager and a time to be a truth teller. One must choose their battles carefully if they are to be effective in enabling the winning of the broader war. The time for truth managing is thus a necessary preparatory time. The time for truth telling is near, and it will be glorious, as it will result in payback in the form of the restoration of the Republic and the greatness of this nation.
If it’s true that Patel, Nunes, Vance, and Bondi are all tainted in some way as I sometimes see alluded in comments or articles here, then what possible hope have we “average Americans” that anything in the swamp can ever be defeated? If no one is pure, if everybody is corrupted in some way, then the system will win again this time, other than having their feathers ruffled a little for 4 years, then it will be back to what preceded: the all-powerful swamp. I have no illusions, reality is often a crap storm – but I’d like to hope there still are some who aren’t just a patriot-appearing part of the swamp.
Start by declassifying the JFK assassination. Work up in time until enough people finally understand what our government has long been up to.
That lessens the shock value of what they are still doing today, when more living fingers are in the pie who can respond more aggressively..
If the Deep State tries to kill you but fails, does this change the trajectory of what a POTUS needs to do immediately?
Long said, when you shoot at the king, only take one bullet. Because that is all the time you have to get the job done.
Patrick Byrne suggested you simply create a new agency to carry out the mission you want. Don’t bother reforming the one that already exists – just let it die from atrophy and lack of funding. Like creating DOGE.
And yet ,Bannon went to jail.
I think Ric Grenell might be a truth teller, if you give him a chance.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I feel better after reading this.
Bannon and Posobiec? Interesting
Well, nuts.
Here’s the “Tell” on Kash. You know if the demons agree to vote for him, we don’t want him.
That’s not a good sign.
That’s because, thankfully, a multi-billionaire with a massive platform just said you better vote for this guy or you’re gone!!
I heard rumors that Snowden was working for the CIA and Snowden’s goal was to weaken NSA with his leak. Snowden was sent by the CIA to infiltrate NSA and intentionally damage NSA. The DIA and CIA benefit by a weak NSA. Snowden in Russia is the same as Lee Harvey Oswald being a fake defector.
I think this article needs to talk about the Gatekeepers. Alex Jones is a gatekeeper. Sandy Hook was a made-up fairy tale. Jones exposed it as a fairy tale but led so many down a rabbit hole by pretending to get sued and pretending to lose everything. Alex Jones is controlled opposition.
Alex Jones will give you a little or lot of truth but ultimately will steer you down a rabbit hole and away from the vital truth.
Steven Jones of cold fusion (Direct Energy Weapon) is a gatekeeper whose goal is to keep people away from the vital truth revealed by Dr Judy Wood on9/11 . Go watch Judy Wood’s video on Youtube – Where Did the Towers Go? The towers literally turned to dust before so many eyes yet so many are blind to the truth.
Throw in Pence and Flynn and Barr and Pompeo as controlled opposition and gatekeepers. Steer you into a black hole and then shut the gate.
So many Gatekeepers, aka Controlled Opposition. Deceiving snakes.
JFK assassination, RFK assassination, MLK assassination, John Lennon assassination (two hypnotists visited Chaman in jail and voila, Chapman confesses). 9/11, Watergate, Sandy Hook, WWII (go read some books by David Irving), moon landing (watch American Moon on Youtube), Holocaust, Las Vegas shooting and Paddock (gunrunning for the FBI to take out the Crown Prince?), etc. On and on and on. Nothing like we were taught and told.
“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.”-William J. Casey, CIA Director
One day the dam of lies will break and the truth will come out. And it will be a glorious day.
The buck stops at Trump’s desk. If he allowed himself to be dog-walked by Mark Meadows, Gina Haspel, Bill Barr, and Kash Patel, that is his fault, not his appointees. How about we start treating Trump like a grown up. At this point Trump has no excuses for appointing anyone who is not a MAGA thoroughbred.
Kash is the best appointee this time around. I see no advantage in tearing him down.
I want to thank Sundance for letting me offer a different opinion on his site. Thanks.
Where is Mark Meadows?
Hope I’m wrong but I’m sensing deals have been made. Best case scenario is major improvements to economy, border security. Major improvements to IC in transparency, justice and reform, not so much.
My pastor gave a message on God. What is the one word you would use to describe what is God. It would be truth.
God = Truth. Those who seek truth, seek God. Those who seek God, seek truth.
The Truth shall prevail. Just a matter of time. With their giant river of lies, all it takes is one slight crack and the wall collapses. I pray that time is soon. I think we are getting close.
Will it be the truth behind the JFK assassination that opens the floodgate? Truth about 9/11? Truth about the moon landing? The truth about Pearl Harbor?
9/11 is the ultimate litmus test. Ask someone what really happened on 9/11? Their answer will tell you a lot about them. There is a very good reason both George Bush and Dick Cheney refused to testify under oath about 9/11. Afraid to go to jail? Afraid the people will hate them? Afraid to lie to God?
“But ask yourself, with the known stakes to the nation as an outcome of horrific fraud, why didn’t this self-identified “#2 in the Intelligence Community” bring this information forward regardless of outcome?”
Which is why losing Gaetz was devastating.
Truth is that Kash may go full def-con 5, but we cannot be sure.
On the other hand, we have no bench on this issue.
The balz required to do such heavy lifting is not for mere mortals.
Kash is the next man up…
Sundance, let’s see how many FBI agents get fired, forget about prosecution by Kash. My money is few if any. Case in point, the Speaker should have fired LT Byrd, who has been promoted to captain. The Speaker should have fired Byrd the day after Trump’s election. Just saying.
Prediction = no one.
Vivek knows they have to move fast.
After 1.5 years folks will be in election mode, someone will have an affair, someone will say something stupid, and the vile MSM will try to make hay of it.
Keep fighting. HAPPY WARRIORS!
“Truth Teller Examples: …., Edward Snowden “.
Truth Managers protect the CIA operators …
Snowden started out in the CIA. Has Snowden ever leaked out any of the CIA secrets? He leaked out the NSA secrets but not CIA’s to best of my knowledge. Think of all the dirty CIA secrets Snowden knew!!!!!!!!!
Therefore, if he protected the CIA secrets, is he not a truth manager?
I’m not saying Snowden is good or bad, I’m just using Sundance definitions and trying to learn — so that I can pray in faith .
“He doesn’t need a stamp on it. He doesn’t need anyone else’s approval or permission. He, the physical person, the President, can simply say, “I view this in my official capacity as President of the United States to be a vital interest to the American public,” and hand it to anyone he chooses. That’s the central power.”
Glad Sundance came around…I was saying this many years ago on this site – I’m not trying to diss Sundance – I appreciate his in-depth coverage and love the site – but as one who comes from the IC and a writer of a 1000 reports and reviewer, POTUS could always declass anything as ANY report, no matter how insignificant, is written ultimately for him. Whether you’re talking about some M.E. man in Tikrit or an underwater cable in the North Sea, every report COULD be important to him. I hope he does declass Crossfire Hurricane and so many other reports. Sunlight!!
btw…this is an EXCELLENT article and spot on
Sad and unfortunate.
Bless you for the continued education you provide on a daily basis.
President Trump is the director in the movie we are watching. He wrote the script and all the acts to this play. He hired all the actors, designed the backdrops and set the stage for its release. The 2020 election allowed the American public to see and experience the spectacular failure of the “Biden Family” in living color. The 2024 election is only the preview of “Trump’s World” as the film is still being edited. Kash Patel and Steve Bannon are bit players in this film, but President Trump is the producer, director and the major star player. President Trump and his chosen few will execute his plans, expose all the liars, and reveal all the documents to an American public that is ready to hear and see the ‘Truth”. Timing is everything.
You give the human PDJT too much power here…
GOD is the Director of this life being played out at this time.
It is all in God’s timing – and you’re right timing is everything.
PDJT is on hold, waiting for God to tell him when it’s go-time…
Do you think President Trump saved his own life?
To God Be All the Glory!
Why do you think we had to wait until 2024 for PDJT’s second term?
People needed to come to the realization of how bad things actually were and cry out to our Father God to restore us.
God will not control and run our lives – remember, He gave us free will.
We have to pray and call out to Him for our needs. They are not automatically met by osmosis or sincere wishing.
There also would never have been only one man who would have the ability to completely bring our country back to life – not by himself.
God is also not bringing back only our country – countries will be freed across the globe.
Israel will be right there with us – finding their country freed from terrorism and annihilation wished upon them.
That is God’s land. They are God’s people.
It is our job to bring what God’s given us to the world.
He waits on us…
To God WILL Be All the Glory.
If your theory is true, then the first 100 days will make it very transparent to us all. I’m more optimistic about Kash. At the time, he knew his constraints and limitations. He and Trump have no loyalty to help or save the deep state, but we shall see.
I believe President Trump will have only 2025 to make a decisive impact, if even that. A year from now the rats will be scurrying for reelection and the 2026 mantra of “it’s too dangerous because it’s an election year” BS will be in high gear. After that, forget it, it’s the 2028 presidential election cycle. Ratcliffe and Patel better be aligned as respective agency heads to switch their “manager” hats to “teller” hats! If this happens and 47’s appointees collectively grow a set, maybe the fireworks will glow a little brighter on 7/4/25, we will know by then.
