Interestingly, just a few days before Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, took control of the National Intelligence Council (NIC) away from the CIA, Gabbard also made a move that is just as consequential and directly related.
It is pretty clear now the NIC was in the middle of a domestic Intelligence Community operation against the Trump administration when Tulsi Gabbard intercepted it (we hope with support from CIA Director John Ratcliffe, but we are not sure). {GO DEEP} It is clear from the comments by SoS/NSA Rubio, that several media outlets were poised and awaiting leaks from the NIC in anticipation of fulfilling their role to advance the operation. [SEE HERE] DNI Gabbard essentially quashed their plan.
However, I was not aware that it was pushed into the public sphere where DNI Gabbard had taken control of the Presidential Daily Brief simultaneous to her confrontation with the NIC operation. [NYT LINK, Archive] I am writing this update to inform and also ensure the CTH library has a reference point for future discussions. Please familiarize yourself with the citations above as well as two very important outlines.
#1 – The unrealized power of the DNI and the possibilities for Trump’s appointed Director of National Intelligence, if a particular process was followed {GO DEEP}. #2 – The actual purpose of the Presidential Daily Brief (PDB), as well as the modern weaponization of it by the CIA. {GO DEEP}. Those two citations are important context to understand a very visible dynamic taking place.
On the same day that DNI Tulsi Gabbard took control of the PDB away from the CIA, DNI Gabbard also removed the National Intelligence Council from the CIA. This is very good news and highlights both President Trump and DNI Gabbard understanding the unrealized potential power of the DNI that we have discussed on these pages.
Confronting a weaponized Intelligence Community is a key facet of interest for us because it is a core component battle against the main tools of the Fourth Branch of Government. The IC influence is in every policy related to Trump’s domestic and foreign agenda. Taking control and neutering the capabilities of the IC and CIA specifically, is a key undertaking.
With the horrible National Security Advisor Mike Waltz removed, and with Marco Rubio taking control of the National Security Council, now the moves by DNI Tulsi Gabbard begin to take on a much more deliberate context. Now I can be somewhat more optimistic about what we are seeing unfold, albeit it will likely remain unnoticed by almost all other reviewers of politics. Y’all are well aware the need for this IC confrontation has long been one of my biggest focuses.
The article is within the New York Times, which means the anonymous sources are from within the DHS/DNI (domestic IC) apparatus.
NYT – Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, is moving the assembly of the president’s daily intelligence brief from the C.I.A. headquarters to her own complex, according to officials briefed on the move.
The brief, a summary of intelligence and analysis about global hot spots and national security threats, is overseen and presented to the president by
the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. But C.I.A. officers write much of the analysis in the document and produce it, pulling together articles and graphics on the agency’s classified computer systems.
Ms. Gabbard’s decision comes as President Trump has openly mused to aides over time about whether the office she leads — which was created after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to improve interagency coordination — should continue to exist, according to two people with knowledge of his remarks. Ms. Gabbard has discussed Mr. Trump’s concerns with him directly and has considered how to overhaul the office, according to one official.
[…] The C.I.A. memo said that while the directorate of analysis role in supporting the daily brief would evolve, “we will remain laser-focused on the president’s and Director Ratcliffe’s priorities and our core mission — generating and delivering insight with impact, free from political or personal bias.”
It is not clear how many C.I.A. personnel assigned to the P.D.B., as the brief is called, and to the National Intelligence Council will move. People familiar with the matter, who were not authorized to discuss internal concerns publicly, said a number of employees at the agency were looking for new assignments to avoid moving to Ms. Gabbard’s office.

The DNI position comes as an outcome of The Patriot Act and as I have repeated said, that position has never been fully functionalized. In essence, the DNI can be more powerful than all of the feeder elements into the intelligence apparatus.
The ODNI was formed in 2004, with the intent for the office to be the pivot point of a national security radar. The DNI was intended to provide information to domestic agencies about foreign terror networks that would prevent something like 9-11 from happening again. However, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has never, not for one day, operated on this intent. This is why they are such a critical position from my perspective.
I said in August of 2024, “The DNI can make the FBI, DOJ, DOJ-NSD, DoD, DoS and CIA provide anything and everything they demand. Instead of the other silos using blocks and threats against the office of the President, use the authority of the DNI to get them without confrontation. Then use the DNI to declassify the documents (if requested by potus), instead of the originating silo.
Can you see how the DNI office can be repurposed to be a seriously strong weapon in the toolbox of the President, against the schemes of those inside the various IC silos. The DNI becomes much more important than the CIA Director, NSA Director, FBI Director, Attorney General, etc, because the DNI can just show up and say, “give me this.” That’s the whole functional purpose of the DNI office that has never been exerted; let’s flippin’ use it.
Let’s use the office of the DNI as the central information hub that takes information from inside the corrupt silos, then provides that information to the President who puts sunlight upon it. Each corrupt silo penetrated with disinfectant. This could begin a process to pull down the shadow operations and let the American public see what has been happening inside our IC apparatus.”
It would appear that President Trump and Tulsi Gabbard are doing exactly that, and I am extremely pleased/thankful to see this plan of action in place.
Now, there’s another element to this. The Dept of Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, reports directly to President Trump. However, for all material intents and purposes of the post-911 design, the DHS Secretary also reports to the Director of National Intelligence, that’s Tulsi Gabbard.
The DHS Secretary directly controls the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA). Do you remember the story of Tulsi Gabbard being targeted by the Joe Biden DHS/TSA under the “Quiet Skies” operation? All of that information is at the fingertips of DNI Tulsi Gabbard.
So, I will leave you to think of this with a little optimism. Here is Tulsi Gabbard today discussing how Joe Biden defined “Domestic Violent Extremists,” and also a discussion about her own personal targeting on the “Quiet Skies” watch list.
Keep in mind, ODNI Tulsi Gabbard has access to every document, note, list and detail of the TSA program that targeted her. Tulsi Gabbard knows exactly who put her on the watch list, when, why and how, as well as who else was/is targeted under this program.
.
I pray that in their oversight and determining “domestic violent terrorists” they will look into the veterans that were killed by the FBI.

There was another one that I can’t seem to find. Both were disabled vets.
“But C.I.A. officers write much of the analysis in the document and produce it, pulling together articles and graphics on the agency’s classified computer systems.”
Oh yes, I’m sure they write much of the analysis; they “produce” it to ensure it is full of whatever lies they think might trip-up President Trump.
And the agency’s “classified computer systems” are probably sitting next to Hillary’s server and Hunter’s laptop, in a safe and secure location somewhere in demented joe’s garage.
I recall Trump didn’t take briefings before the election so the spooks couldn’t leak stuff and pretend it came from his campaign.
The professional swamp has thought out every angle in their playbook but they are not used to being cut out of the program.

There is a large blank whit spot in the posting ahead of the “Tulsi Gabbard is Legit.”
I think a video is deleted.
There is no link, nothing directing it to YouTube.
I think YouTube is blocking links to the Treehouse.
Interesting, it’s still showing up for me.
“Tulsi Gabbard knows exactly who put her on the watch list, when, why and how, as well as who else was/is targeted under this program.”
Beautiful.
And she is doing all that on our side, as an American patriot, with a content smile on her face.
Talk about Retribution.
She certainly has her own axe to grind, from the watchlist and from years of attacks from the DNC machine.
Great shot of FUDS with my expresso this fine morning!
That never ending honey do list is going to be clipped off at delightful speed.
Thank you for your surfs, ma’am!
“I am hopeful also because of the goodness in people and the naturally compassionate nature of people. However, I will tell you from firsthand experience that what we talk about is the national security state, and the military industrial complex, this cabal of warmongers that extends not only within government but outside of government, extends to many powerful media outlets. They are incredibly powerful and don’t have any qualms at destroying those who try to get in the way of their power, and they’ve got a lot of tools. They’ve got a lot of tools to do that, which I think is why President Eisenhower chose to include this in his farewell address as a warning, because the only recourse, the only real power that has the ability to destroy them and stand up against them is a free people living in a free society, exercising the rights that we have enshrined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.”–Tulsi Gabbard

GODSPEED TULSI!!
I am so proud and excited to see a Woman of Worth in charge. We have seen nothing but Marxist/Communist/Globalist women doing all kinds of damage to our country. It is good to see a strong AMERICAN WOMAN in this position.
Possible first female President in our lifetime.
Fani, LaToya Cantrell, Kamala, Stacey Abrahams, Manchelle, Sherita Golden, Kristen Clark, Lisa Cook, Karine Jean-Pierre, Marilyn Mosby, Kim Gardner, Kim Fox, Patrice Cullors, Venus Lee, Maxine Waters, Claudine Gay, Rachael Rollins, Joy Reid, Donna Bazile, Sheila Jackson Lee, Christina Peterson, Shelitha Robertson, Sherri Charleston, Jussie, Tania Fernandes Anderson, Letisha James, Muriel Bowser, Lori Lightfoot, Tiffany Henyard, Jasmine Crockett, Barbara Furlow-Smiles, Cori Bush and now Kim Godwin, I see a pattern starting to form here.
Based on the pattern, please add LaMonica McIvers (d, NJ). The ICE Agent assaulter.
“a number of employees at the agency were looking for new assignments to avoid moving to Ms. Gabbard’s office.”
These people have nominated themselves for separation from the government.
Looks like over 100 dismissed. Buh-bye!
Those are the “people familiar with the matter” in the NYT article.
this is the most encouraged I’ve felt in some time. I’ve been enjoying the success, but very cautiously, due to the corruption in the intelligence community. Hope for replacement of Patel, Bongino, Bondi, and for the love of God, Dhillon (why do so many people think she’s great?).
I like her sweaters. She knits, you know.
For a long while there, they were telling white people (\women) they weren’t allowed to knit. She is “of colour” so I guess it is okay for her. I wish she would speak up about the unified knitting theory for all races.
Well played.
The only issue I have heard about concerning Harmeet Dhillon was absence in Arizona’s last election . From what I have seen so far that situation will have to be solved from within . The impression is most every elected official is on two payrolls .
I’m watching to see Harmeet’s action on restoring gun rights, since my political focus is mostly on COTUS and our God-given rights.
So far, Mel Gibson and a few high profile humans have been rightfully restored; I’m interested in the dozens to hundreds of convicted on felonies J6’ers who also are deserving, considering the non-violent nature of the charges, railroading of the patriots, and the pardons they received. That’s one tiny example.
Restoring their civil rights, since that’s part of what she does at the civil rights division and apparently the office for such restoration, formerly denied funding by Congress for over 30 years, is now able to be funded under the current CR, with the high profile humans results evidence of it.
Actions.
Do not forget the stunt she (and Mike Davis) attempted to pull with the awarding of California’s delegates to the 2024 GOP convention.
RIP all the Marines who were deliberately set up, unarmed, to be slaughtered in Beirut just so the CIA could gain sole control over the PDB.
May they be fully avenged, as the CIA monster is demolished worldwide and all its black stream funding cut away.
The rogue CIA never takes the direct route, so eyes on countermoves.
May God protect our troops, especially those serving abroad.
Amen 🙏🏽❤️
I liked Tulsi in 2016 and wondered why President Trump passed on putting her in his administration then. The experiences she has had since then has only made her better.
Rubio taking people out right out front like a gangster and Tulsi quietly slitting throats behind the curtain.
Tulsi is quietly the most powerful person in the Trump administration except for the president himself.
I love it, but always with reservations.
Also, Ratcliffe may be wielding some significant power behind that scenes.
He is rarely public, not like Bondi and friends , so hopefully that silent stealth is delivering results.
PDJT is definitely aware of what he is doing, so that satisfies my hope and curiosity …for now.
Sundance,
Since Moe, Larry and Curly can’t seem to launch investigations of the many, many crooks in DC is it possible that PT is going to use Tulsi, now that she has taken control and cleaned up much of the house, to gather up and declassify many, many documents which then will expose the many, many crimes of the DS and thus FORCE Moe, Larry and Curly to act?
Bogey, military intelligence has it all, and has had for up to a decade. Declassification always had to come before the major indictments.
Cleaning up the US Attorneys and judges for the Article III courts piece was / is also a necessary prerequisite to unsealing old indictments or bringing new ones.
It has to roll out in phases, and it has to be done by the book or a sort of corruption will be seeded into the new foundation.
Now Gabbard can declassify the Niagara Falls of corruption and criminality.
Watch.
(Yeah, that has a double meaning).
Please, stop with this nonsense. You sound like the Q group.
Seems plausible about fixing the courts, Q never entered my mind.
Oh well, fog of war and all that.
A light hearted question suggestion to a beloved current year Paul Revere:
47 more prayer full minutes needed, perchance?
😘
That makes sense Alex and that is why the courts are in focus right now.
Swamp sludge is knee deep with those judges at all levels.
Retooling the courts is key to building a lasting foundation and bringing justice.
The goal is ultimately a modern, ethical and functioning government that serves and protects all Americans.
None of those TRO’s the dishonorable district judges issued are legal, as no bond was secured for the damages as required by law.
We The People are the aggrieved party resulting from these particular acts of lawlessness {TRO’s}…
It is the Sovereign Constitutional authority {consent of the governed} of We The People that is being violated.
Why POTUS remains complicit/compliant in this lawlessness is the unknown.
In God We Trust
{All others pay cash}
Trust God
Fear not
Absolutely correct except that the President is doing everything by the book through DOJ filings.
Seems we have won some and lost a few.
What other avenue is there that is peaceful?
Just my opinion here. Tulsi Gabbard is on a track which will lead her to first become Vice President, and eventually, the first woman President.
Agreed and I wrote the same comment above!
She is certainly capable of being Commander In Chief and has a calm, diplomatic presence.
Ironic she was a Dem and could be elected by MAGA some day….wow.
She isn’t a Dem anymore as the Democratic Party now defines itself. She is America First Tulsi — for now at least.
Not if Marco has anything to do with it.
Marco has seen the light for now. As has JD, as has Tulsi. Will they still be seeing the America First Light three years from now when the 2028 campaign cycle begins to gain steam? Only time will tell.
I hope so, but having a deep bench will continue the trajectory.
I’m sure I will take flack for saying this. Can we stop with the minute someone in the administration does their job and does it well they are touted as the next president? Next week someone else will do a good job and be touted as the next president. A lot can happen in the next four years.
It’s amazing how easily people can declare that someone is “the one” based upon a few months of knowing them. That is why the uniparty was able to convince MAGA Americans that Thomas Massie, Rand Paul, and Ron DeSantis are on Team America First. A few speeches here, a tweet or two there, a scathing “interrogation” of a nominee now and again, and some “outrage” interviews and people pile into the Uniparty Bandwagon.
I think their arguments are just ; the timing is off . D*MN ! Are we witnessing PDJT’s 4 dimension chess game at work ?
Tulsi Gabbard has stepped up to the very tough job she has been assigned — clean house in the organization she manages — while Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and Dan Bongino have not.
In this age of great MAGA expectations, her decisive out-of-the-gate performance has the predictable effect of focusing attention on her possibilities as a future America First VP and Presidential candidate. If not for 2028, then in the election years after that.
In the judicial system your expectations on time frame are unreasonable . Indictments , prosecutions , and convictions must be done legally in order to address and minimize civil unrest .
Unreasonable lawfare expectations re investigations, prosecutions and convictions lead to emotional self poisoning, inebriated thinking and acting.
Hence the post PDJT Inauguration psywar campaign of attacks on some of his lawfare picks.
AMEN!!!
Good point. To date myself, in 1972-73, Teddy Kennedy was almost universally assumed to be the Democrat nominee for POTUS 1976. No one had ever heard of Jimmy Carter (wish it had stayed that way, but not my point).
So much jostling among people on their own little power trips.
I see a few appointees who are getting stuff done. Maybe Tulsi is one of them, but, her role seems largely administrative.
Oh I am OVERJOYED! Yes! Optimism! This could very well be the beginning of the much anticipated “End of the Sundance Black Pill Op”.
Truth has no agenda.
The inverse is typically true.
“Truth has no agenda”
Perhaps so. Not always so.
Ithose who deploy the word “truth” definitely may have an agenda. And that agenda may be dangerously malign.
And Sundance just got back from D.C. 🤔
I’m still wary of Tulsi. Her early political/military career doesn’t inspire confidence for me, but people do grow and change. Look at Rubio.
Maybe the greatest power GEOTUS has is to inspire ladder climbers to do the right thing. I hope it’s a change that is from the heart and not the finger in the wind.
also wary of Rand Paul…..
Me == Also more consistently self wary
Thanks to 9+ years of help from DJT
Plus God’s Amazing Grace.
The FBI is not a legitimate law enforcement organization. They have proven it over and over to every law enforcement organization they have worked with. One option is to just put them out of business except for their labs. The other option is to disarm them and re-direct them into a “crime consulting” organization, meaning they could never take over authority for any case they are assigned. Their role would simply be to assist and coordinate with legitimate Federal law enforcement. But I’d rather see them just shut completely down because they are NOT 90% “good people”.
The CIA on the other hand is a much more violent organization and Mr. Ratcliff will have to use various forms of violence to bring them back to heel. And Ratcliff doesn’t seem like the right person to do that. It needs someone like Tom Holman to get the job done. Violent people who perform violent acts initially only understand violence.
got to start somewhere………..
Sundance, it is always good when you find tidbits to lift our spirits and remain optimistic.
This news, coupled with Rubio’s dismantling of the NSC is welcome and soothes the negative reality check from your DC Debriefing article.
Yes there are still bullfrogs and deadly snakes lurking in the swamp, but those big moves behind the scenes are what counts.
It is the proverbial murky iceberg, and we only see what they want us to see.
Keep up the great work and thanks for your perseverance. 🙂

Thank you Sundance, please let POTUS know the next time you visit that I will never get tired of winning.
Tulsi is LEGIT indeed, now let us see how legit the DOJ is in bringing the law breakers of the left to court with extreme prejudice.
And, meanwhile, Patel and Bonjino, are busy moving their people to a new building. These two loyal republicans are looking pretty bad while Gabbard and Kennedy are moving right along.
they are ugly, but I still think they are ok……………..
“Are looking pretty bad”
Hopefully helpful words to the wise
“looks can be deceiving”
Which is why deception has always been and still is such a useful warfare tool.
Examples?
One of DJT foundational reads, Sun Tzu’s “Art of War”.
Americas legendary ” Ghost Army” which was formed during WW2 and still exists today.
When will the rest of us learn why we were targeted with SSSS airline boarding passes during the Obama administration. Make information this available through a FOIA demand , if we we too also were also targeted – by whom and for what purpose?
I’ve always been positive about Tulsi Gabbard. Thanks for finally adding a flattering picture of her!
My only concern is whether this set up will allow a President less interested in sunlight to be able to consolidate power even more effectively.
This is fantastic news!!
MAGA Fabulous!!
Wolverines go to DC and get it done!!
Blessings to you, MAGA Brother!
👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
A Wolverine rep goes to DC and finds out that “get it done”……
“Is Happening!!!!”
whether people realize it or still don’t.
Thank God!!!
As an aside, RIP h/t to /pol/ and its famous meme, intended. 😘
Sleepy Joe’s daily briefs centered around underwear changes.
Sundance , what’s your current rating of Tulsi ? You had her at I think 75% earlier this week. My comment was she might be a little higher before I knew of this. I’m putting her close to 100% now.
Explains Lisa Monaco losing her controlling mind, here.
https://x.com/KarluskaP/status/1926091300635369897
That’s Susan Rice.
Isn’t that Susan Rice- not Lisa Monaco?
Tulsi Gabbard exhibits intelligence and integrity. I’m growing weary of lip gloss and Botox and little girl voices.
You should hear our governor’s voice here in Arizona. Little girl in the extreme.
I’m glad we finally have one person that we can say that about! Amen!
Perhaps there is another strong challenger for ’28.
YAY, Tulsi!
Music to my ears and very encouraging. Adding to the timeline.
SD come clean right now. Your visit to DC recently helped in getting Tulsi and others onboard with the “How to” shed sunlight and change the game board against the IC/CILIE strategy and taking down silos… Correct SD?!
This is huge news the CIA always ran roughshod over the DNI.
Sic Em Big Dog!
So the DNI is like the Boss of all bosses in the Mafia.
I have always liked Tulsi—even when she was running for President in the Democratic Party. I find her refreshingly honest. I may not agree with all her policies (but I don’t with most politicians) but she seems well thought out and genuine. I believe, she believes, what she is doing is best for everyday Americans- which is good enough for me. She’s much like 47 in that way.
right now, even though everyone is gushing about JD and Marco as the next potus potentials, I’m still concerned with their previous bought and paid for status. I’m not yet convinced they can or will ever shed that. Yes, I am extremely happy with how they have preformed—yes, pun intended—to date. I’d be very happy to have Tulsi run.
Last, I don’t believe that “truth does not have an agenda.” Of course truth has an agenda. Truth is the opposite of lies. So, lies do not have an agenda? They BOTH have an agenda. Truth’s agenda is to bring sunlight to issues. Truth’s agenda is to show all the facts and information. Truth’s agenda is to do the right thing, even though it may not be easy. Truth’s agenda is to be a good, moral, person, company, government. Truth’s agenda is to show when things go wrong and fix them, or apologize for them.
Yes, truth DOES have an agenda.
