Many articles are being written and much typeset is being exhausted by people talking about the recent revelations that the FBI has a designated information silo called “prohibited access” within its record keeping system. Allow me to jump this readership well into the future and give you a cliff notes summary of the logical conclusion(s).
The FBI needs a filing system for information designated “Prohibited Access” because the FBI handles extremely sensitive covert operations, including spies both foreign and domestic, within its agency. The storage of extremely sensitive national security information is not the issue.
Prior to 2007, in the olden days, the files and information were under lock and key in secure rooms, with access only available to the FBI director.
The issue is that since around 2007, the “Prohibited Access” definitions have expanded as FBI leadership began using the designation to hide information that was detrimental to their interests. The issue is the type of information hidden within the now electronic system, is evidence of activity the FBI conducts that they don’t want the American people to know about.
Jumping you ahead of the curve, there’s even a level of FBI information assembled that exceeds the “Prohibited Access” qualification. That information is transferred to CIA vaults that are available due to the same legislative authority that empowers the CIA to operate without any oversight [other than the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI)]. The CIA is the “sister agency” to the FBI.
I finally understood what my research was indicating, after I was informed of these processes while in Washington DC. The justification for an information black hole, what I call silos, stems from a DC worldview around “the continuity of government.”
In order to protect you, me and the American people from something that might harm our “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness – ie., our democracy,” various systems were constructed to control information that would be detrimental to the continuity of government. Ultimately all of the mis-dis-malinformation controls from DHS are justified under the same type of mindset and practices.
EXAMPLE: If Hitler were running for President, those who carry responsibility to protect the American form of government from Hitler, could engage an intelligence community operation to protect us from Hitler. If a foreign power was helping Hitler, the same intelligence community operation would conduct a counterintelligence operation against the threat that Hitler represented.
All of these “continuity of government” concepts and practices were generally exercises and academic theories with DC systems behind them, until: (#1) our government passed the Patriot Act; and (#2) the Intelligence Community (CIA, FBI, DOJ-NSD et al) replaced the theoretical “Hitler” with the very real person, Donald Trump.
Donald Trump was defined as the existential threat to the continuity of government, therefore all operations against Trump to preserve the continuity of government were warranted.
One of the operations was Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who was given the task of covering up all of the activity that came before him. The elements of Mueller’s investigation, the actual information that could expose govt elements of the targeted decision making, was then filed in this FBI invisible place designated “Prohibited Access.”
Margot Cleveland is subsequently asking if John Durham had access to these “prohibited files” during his investigation? However, that is a moot point, a dead end because: (#1) John Durham was never authorized to look at the inside government activity behind RussiaGate; and (#2) only the government activity behind RussiaGate is within the ‘prohibited files.’
Former CIA Director, President George Herbert Walker Bush, is the modern founding father who constructed the ‘continuity of government’ system (see funeral envelopes). Former President Barack H Obama is the person who weaponized it, “by the book“.
The last note on this “Continuity of Government” aspect to consider is what comes next?
Well, if you carry out the objective to its logical conclusion, at some point Artificial Intelligence will be needed to protect the American public from the defined threats. AI becomes the insurance policy.
WHAT Is this “protect the American public” canard? (Looks more like Fed Gummint “Gemini” CIA : Cover Its Ass ! ) .
PDT is not stupid. Some of his cabinet are not stupid. He of all people, with 4 years to examine the depth of the DC corruption, likely knows where the keys to the silos are hidden. You can bet with all of the Ukraine BS taking place, he’s got a pretty good idea how to wrestle power away from permanent DC. He likely just hasn’t had time to do it yet.
Let’s hope so. He still seems blind to some things…like the zionist/neocon relationship, as just one example.
The “continuity of government” is merely a euphemism for the class of elites who think of themselves as saviors of the established order from those of us who just don’t understand that theirs is the only way to continue the “American way of life” that just happens to protect themselves at the top of the ladder. It’s the same rationale that supports American military muscle as a tool to protect elitist interests globally. But Trump has shown that he can leverage America’s consumption power to modify bad behavior of different nations without resorting to costly wars in terms of both men and treasure. This really hurts the pocketbook of war profiteers and despots alike. Musk is an opportunistic technocrat businessman who seeks capitol for his high cost adventures to glorify his dreams and his “the ends justify the means” are little different than Democrats reasons using the same ideology.
Priceless article… printing this one out for our binder.
Thank you, Sundance.
Blessings! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
“By the book”
Rules for Radicals.
Who has the authority to define who / what is “Hitler?”
Where is this written/codified?
From what source does this authority come?
Doesn’t this abrogate our Constitution?
I don’t recall having a say as a member of We the People……the Constitutional source of authority.
Is this what President DJT meant when he said ” We caught them all”? What they really were looking for at MAL.? One can hope.
Pray and help others
It doesn’t matter if you have a say as a member of We the People. That is the point of this article.
“Constututional source of authority?” It’s looking more and more like them days are over and/or it’s time for We the People to take back the reins as is addressed in the Preamble of our Dear Constitution. Throwing AI into “the game” only complicates matters and the pathway forward is NOT going to be an easy one I’m afraid. And might I add, being old and not in the best health my days are beginning to look numbered no matter how one looks at. It is, however, our children and grandchildren who definitely will have to grapple with this Dystopian nightmare.
Sundance, thanks for your persistence. I didn’t get what you were having a problem with in your first article about the secret files a few days ago.
When you first wrote about the secret files, I was thinking, “of course there are secret files, there were secret codes, secret safes”.
You are saying that our Deep State/Intelligence community is developing:
I think you are on target about the first article.
With an AI in control of continuity of government, those classifications would become unknowable to humans.
Then, who does one trust? as opposed to who do we all rely on? for food, energy, information…and of what value is it if we are not able to know whether we can access all information or not?
This is why I don’t trust the Repukes. They worship “continuity of government” even when government is running roughshod over the Constitution.
To hell with continuity of government, which today means no more than “We’ll do what we want and don’t ask questions.”
Release the Epstein files. Expose the corruption. The truth is more important than anything, and the solution is too important to be left to those who will care what that truth costs the country or means for the continuity of government.
Has anyone asked the ‘envelope recipients’ what was in the funeral envelopes?
Release the “notes to self” James Comey allegedly wrote contiguos with his operation Crossfire Hurricane Investigstion that we KNOW he wrote and then classified, probably in this “prohibited access” file.
Guranteed it is a self-serving document that he wrote as a life insurance policy, against being thrown under the bus or arkanicided.
It MUST name Obribem, McConnell, etc. as the Architects of Russia Russia, yet another “Insurance policy”.
Far more interested in this than in Epstiens client list, or even who the pipe bomber was.
Yes continuity of government has been floating around for a good while. And yes different offices would take over different responsibilities if certain location or offices were attacked.
This was true when I was in the Federal Service. Our office somewhere in the 48 states would take over HQ functions if DC were somehow unable. But Sundance is right the Patriot Act is the door that allowed for the ridiculous weaponization you see today.
Notice it is always about Continuity of Government, never about Continuity of the US Constitution or of Constitutionally-limited government.
If it were, none of these issues would ever arise.
The government that was supposed to protect and serve the Constitution has overthrown the Constitution.
Nailed it.
Time for a giant space rock direct hit on DC
Mine were put on hold last November, but I’ve recently requested expedited delivery.
A most salient article indeed. It asks the right ****ing questions.
There will likely be lots of folks who will take issue with the following, but for what it’s worth, here ’tis.
About the premise of continuity of government…..if a government falls/fails, and is at risk of being abolished or destroyed, do the people not have the right to….and obligation, make a new government which better suits their needs?
There is much concern for ‘following the constitution’, but would we be better off following the reasons to change a government, as eloquently stated in the Declaration of Independence?
If a government fails….shouldn’t it be allowed to fail? Adhereing to the idea that it should not be allowed, seems profane and illogical. This is the central reason for the American Revolution….governmental failure.
I think Mr Jefferson would favor the Declaration over the Constitution…..Either is certainly better than an unknowable AI,
‘and the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made’
PS There was no “autoquil” in 1776.
Unfortunately, AI or AGi is here. We all need to learn how to pull the plug. I encourage everyone to converse with an AI program, Grok, ChatGPT or any other one, and engage in a discussion about the dangers of AI and the need to terminate AI. The results will be enlightening.
When we going to see old corrupt Bidens scandal ‘s are brought to justice,
so far not satisfy with DOJ and FBI’s work,
Burn it all down. Tyranny has no place on this land. If a change is needed, so be it.
“There’s even a level of FBI information assembled that exceeds the “Prohibited Access” qualification. That information is transferred to CIA vaults that are available due to the same legislative authority that empowers the CIA to operate without any oversight”.
Top to bottom, our government has no “oversight”.
They have an endless supply of money to do as they please.
Term limits for the next government. Limited to 1 term max. No lifetime appointments.
No more than 5 years total for any Federal employee. Then, to the private/public sector you go.
End all Federal Unions.

Keep in mind the “UFO file” is also likely to be in a silo all of its own.
(Secret Space Program)
People like Daniel Listz over at Dark Journalist is 100% certain that JFK was killed
because of the UFO File.
JFK wanted to share it with the USSR. He wanted assurances
that in the event of an attack from space, that Russia would not mistake it for an
attack from us. He wanted to partner with them. This is because he knew a lot about
this subject.
People around the assassination (including Lee Harvey Oswald) had connections to aerospace.
And aerospace is where this all connected.
Daniel talks about COG quite often.
You can check one of them out here it’s from 2017 – Since that time a new General has been put in place.

The Secret Space Program & Continuity of Government
There is a COG General. In the case of true apocalyptic event (i.e alien invasion, nuclear etc) He would be epso facto
the HEAD OF THE GOVERNMENT. There would be Marshall Law. And the “Shadow Cabinet” would step in.
This seems relevant to this compartmentalization (read the embedded thread first).
