Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on the sidelines of a meeting of foreign ministers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Kuala Lumpur today. Against the backdrop of multiple questions to him about the outcome of their discussion, let us first discuss the problem being avoided.
In the mind of President Putin, and in the growing awareness of the American electorate, the President of the United States does not control the Intelligence Community. It is entirely possible for the USIC to take America deeper toward war despite the President and people of America not wanting that to happen. Putin is simply prepared for that outcome.
This reality explains a dynamic where President Trump engages with President Putin in an effort to stop the war in Ukraine, yet President Putin continues the war in Ukraine; because ultimately he knows President Trump does not control the elements that facilitate the Ukraine military.
People struggle to accept this dynamic. However, I would remind everyone that right now YOU are paying for the entire government of Ukraine to exist. Including the Ukraine govt payrolls, retirement benefits, healthcare and operational budget of Ukraine overall.
Americans do not want to pay for that. President Trump does not want to pay for that. Yet, here we are, paying for that.
The same inertia process applies to the literal Ukraine war and conflict with Russia.
You might not want it. President Trump might not want it. Yet, here again we are providing weapons, intelligence, satellite communication, personnel and systems for the war.
This is the reality of the situation regardless of your/my willingness to accept it. This reality is what President Vladimir Putin discusses and accepts.
The problem for President Trump is not that this reality exists; the bigger political problem for President Trump is that people are increasingly becoming aware of this reality.
Now, many people are recently arguing against this reality. However, these are the same voices who previously stated President Trump could unilaterally declassify information within the same silo process that is designed to control his declassification authority. Empirically, and in reality, these voices are wrong.
Something needs to change. That something is generally that President Trump has to either: 1. admit publicly he does not control the U.S. Intelligence Community (very ugly); or 2. take control of that intelligence community (even uglier).
In this element of consideration you would be well served to insert the recent experience of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard; who, intentionally or not, opened the pandora’s box containing this issue, and look what happened to her.
There was a reason DNI Tulsi Gabbard sat silently recently in the very public Cabinet meeting. I will return to this in a moment.
[SIDE NOTE: Those who deny this reality are likely of a disposition that reconciled advice by those who said COVID-19 virus could attack you standing standing at a bar, but would not approach you sitting down. The COVID virus would attack you in the paint section at WalMart, but not in the grocery aisles, etc.
Every COVID-19 mitigation pronouncement was ridiculously silly, yet people not only believed it, they followed it. The non-pretending tribe did not. For whatever reason you might attribute, the reality of that COVID-19 experience highlighted that the non-pretending tribe within American is in the minority. The pretenders included politicians, healthcare workers, most doctors, police, law enforcement and most Americans (70% vaccinated). END NOTE]
♦ President Trump does not have control over the USIC activity in Ukraine. If he did, he would have been fully aware of the drone strikes against the Russian strategic bomber fleet before it was carried out. By his own admission he did not know.
Prior to the increased attacks, Russian President Vladimir Putin correctly noted that Ukraine does not have the military capability, the satellite communication and guidance systems to continue carrying out strikes deep into Russia. Therefore, from the perspective of Putin, as these strikes continued they were facilitated by NATO. Ergo, NATO was factually attacking Russia, albeit using Ukraine as the proxy for it. Again, Putin with clear eyes on reality.
Into this pretending/non-pretending world, in a remarkable statement of candor we also saw Secretary of State Marco Rubio accurately -and honestly- say five months ago the Ukraine conflict was a proxy war for the USA against Russia.
Now, fast forward to today. The reality is the proxy war, Rubio outlined so eloquently, continues. Simultaneously, neither he nor President Trump has any control over the USIC that is carrying it out. Yet, Secretary Rubio has to sit down with Foreign Minister Lavrov and either (a) be honest, or (b) pretend.
Following the meeting, here is Rubio’s remarks. You decide:
[Rubio brought up a good point. Germany, UK, France and Spain all have Patriot battery’s they can spare. However, they are refusing to give them to Ukraine. I wonder why.]
Back to the point – Again, President Trump and Secretary Rubio seem to have two options: 1. Admit their lack of control, or 2. Take control.
♦ The first option is obviously the easiest, admit the President of the United States does not have full control over the U.S. Intelligence Community. However, that comes with severe ramifications.
Flip it. Look at the dynamic from the outside. Imagine Emmanuel Macron or Abdel Fattah al-Sisi saying they no longer have operational control over their intelligence agencies, and those agencies have gone rogue. What would you think of France or Egypt?
Now imagine if the President of the USA made such a statement. How would the world react? What would happen to the dollar? How weak would President Trump look?
Thus, there is extreme pressure to maintain a premise.
Think about the recent experience of DNI Gabbard, and accept those types of consequences are exactly what the USIC rely upon to maintain their power and control. Open, even briefly, the Pandora’s Box that hides reality and massive alarms are immediately triggered to isolate, ridicule and marginalize the truth teller.
The people around President Trump have a vested interest in keeping that Pandora’s Box closed. Which brings us to the second option…. ‘Take control.’
♦ Factually, no one knows what “taking control” would look like.
Who exactly would enforce compliance and bring the USIC to heel? Tulsi was burned just nibbling around the edge of it. What would be the reaction from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and more importantly what would be the response from the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence; ironically the former silo chaired by Rubio.
Would President Donald Trump reach the same fate as President John F Kennedy? Perhaps not, if a very public process was instituted where President Trump said exactly what the situation was. However, that approach simply goes back to point #1.
See the problem?
Let’s talk about Tulsi Gabbard’s silence at the cabinet meeting, and role play for a moment as a Gordian Knot cutter.
Imagine a journalist who says: “Mr. President, thank you for the transparency you provide in allowing us to be with you and your cabinet during these meetings. If I may ask a question with a brief follow up?”
Question: “Mr President, do you feel you have full control over the intelligence agencies of our government?“
[Anticipated Response]: “I think so, at least I would hope that is the case” (or something similar).
Question: “Thank you. With that in mind, what specifically provides you with the sense of assurance you do have full control over the USIC?” … AND… “Would you also permit DNI Tulsi Gabbard to answer that question?“
Imagine what would follow that brief line of questioning. If the imaginary journalist were so inclined, he/she could also follow up with simple examples, like President Trump having no prior knowledge of the Ukraine drone strikes into Russia etc.
My point is that absent of President Trump taking some action that begins the process -against the interests and advice of his protective advisors- it is going to take an external element in this dynamic to trigger a change in the situation; for better, for uglier, or for worse.
The people around the office of the President are not going to want to touch this issue…
….Just ask Tulsi.
How long are we going to keep making excuses for President Trump?
If you want to be the stand in live target for bullets and lawfare … just sent a note via White House.GOV … I’m sure arrangements can be made so the President can “take action” while you stand in as the designated target.
Be sure to include, importantly, Sentient’s family, too. The IC would.
The familes…that is the point!!! Implicit in the post. Scary…
Same applies to all the polical clowns that pretend to run the EU.
why post this?
we hired him to be the guy in charge who would take the slings and arrows to fix the republic. he said he WOULD be that guy.
is your premise that we may not critique the leadership of our country?
Criticism of leadership isn’t the issue here — and no, you don’t get to try and cloak a cheap shot using principled language to dodge responsibility for the cheap shot.
Sentient is not being criticized for critiquing leadership, but rather being called out for making a loaded jab, and YOU are now trying to hide that behind “critique” as if that makes the comment immune to scrutiny.
It’s disingenuous to pretend the backlash means people think the president is above criticism. That’s not what’s happening. People are responding to how Sentient said it.
This isn’t about whether the president can be criticized — of course they can. What’s being challenged is the integrity of the cheap shot at the President.
Agreed.
(And by the way, what a great opening paragraph.)
Well said, the intelligence community sure isn’t good for the Economy – and a strong Economy is really the only thing that brings security to a Nation.
No wonder people hate spies.
wondering the same thing.
if the Constitution says he is in charge; if we voted for him to do it; if he has options, regardless of how hard, dangerous, or brutal they are… he IS, in fact, in charge. if i am a russian citizen, this excuse is completely without merit and hollow.
raise your hand if you think there is ANYONE in the wings who, in the next 20+ years, will come even CLOSE to being able to restore and rescue the rpeublic… anyone?
then NOW must be the time. he has faced the consequences with his life at least twice already; and with his freedom and families freedom a half dozen otehr times.
it must be done.
step up; or tell us we should be withdrawing our consent and step out of the way.
Damn Straight.
Amazingly ignorant to the consequences of what you are demanding.
The demand is easy to understand. It’s consequences are not.
You demonstrate exactly ZERO understanding of the consequences of your demand.
Okay tough guy, what are the consequences?
The ignorance of this comment really lingers longer than most.
On the one hand…this poster says out of one side of it’s mouth….
”raise your hand if you think there is ANYONE in the wings who, in the next 20+ years, will come even CLOSE to being able to restore and rescue the republic… anyone?”
Obviously implying that it’s Trump,or no one, now or never.
And yet….out of the other side of it’s mouth, says…speaking to the President….says…
“step up; or tell us we should be withdrawing our consent and step out of the way.”
LOL
Perhaps the worst part is, so many people up voted this ironic drivel.
There is not one thing he said that is not accurate.
We will suffer catastrophic consequences no matter the call.
Muley Bulley, I find it easy to agree with most of what you said
However — can we call JFK to the stand for some brief questioning?
I suspect he’d be able to offer an informative perspective on bucking the Six-Ways-From-Sunday boys, if you grasp my innuendo
(invoke Groucho-voiced remark, “And if you grasp my yada yada … yada yada …”)
— Aside — I see the Butler and 4th-Hole assassination attempts are back in the news today
Who are you to be telling The President what to do while limiting the action to two choices. What nation have you led in dangerous times ?
So many messes left behind by Vegetable Biden for Trump to clean up and he’s doing an amazing job!
Not just Biden.
The current messes have been piling up since Nov. 22, 1963.
Dig a bit deeper and you will see that the foundation of the evil we face had been laid at least as far back as the Wilson administration.
Which might be the key to cleaning up the current mess.
Strike at the foundation.
Don’t go after the IC directly.
Go after those who established and use them.
Who really controls our economy and our currency?
Go after them.
Republican and democrat, Biden did not give us the patriot act. Obama did not take America off the Gold standard. It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.
A far better question is – How long are some going to keep making excuses for Putin?
last time i checked, Putin is not my leader.
OK, so Putin isn’t a choir boy..
But Putin never inflated away a third of everything I’ve saved for.
Putin didn’t ship our jobs and our futures overseas in exchange for payola.
Putin didn’t destroy our military with social experiments and DEI leaders.
Putin didn’t send freaks to read their sick ideology to our school kids.
(Do you really want me to go on?)
Nope, the people that still oppose Trump are guilty of all this and more.
Another thing about Putin..
For 15 ? years or more, he has been telling NATO:
“If you continue to do A, B, and C, we will be forced to respond with X, Y, and Z”.
Are you surprised only because he kept his word ?
Love it!
Excellent points! Not President Trumps doing though, and in six months he has done so very, very much.
My money is on Putin and his allies, Slovakia, Hungary, Belarus and Serbia.
The west is really struggling with complacency and decadence, and a sincere sense of patriotism.
Cheers!
A+
What did Putin do?? He is a better friend than the midget bozo Z.
Please tell us ….what has Putin done to the US…..are you one of the “70%’ that took the shot?
You sound vaccinated.
Pro tip: The SIDE NOTE in Sundance post above was for you and those like you.
🙂😄
Who is this ‘we’ kemosabe?
Bless your heart, I personally did not expect him to be Superman yet the best man to attempt to return the power to the people.
As he was doing his first term, I might add.
If Trump fails or is forced into failure (and those are 2 separate things), then all is lost.
It is either Trump, or no one.
Why cant it be everyone!
Nope. Trump is opening the door. Eventually the citizens of this constitutional republic will stand up and take control. That will be the big ugly.
From your keyboard to God’s ear. Unfortunately, this “constitutional republic” which you cite has been neutered and as Sundance pointed out using the numbers who rushed to take the fake vaccine. Well before the scamdemic, the number of people who volunteered to serve this country in the military fell to almost nothing and true warriors were forced out by the politically correct social justice nuts. I wish you were correct but the truth is if we tried to fill the landing craft of Normandy today, most of the boats would be empty and IF you’re expecting anything like 1777 in Valley Forge….well forget it!
Where did that 70% number come from?
This is where we part company.
The fight goes on. Fatalism never appealed to me.
Pr. Trump is not one to be ‘Forced’ into failure……Most likely a tactical or strategic maneuver. And that may not be immediate…But he will speak, or act withauthority and Power !
Pr. Trump Knows that much better than anyone else. He is The President of America, and Knows it.
The President is one man. It’s our fault. We filled the GOP with snakes who he is forced to negotiate with to get anything done and who will side with the IC in a NY minute. Yes, us voters put ourselves in this position and unless we figure out a way to get rid of the “Republican” IC assets we keep electing, we are doomed.
And Trump has endorsed the snakes and continues to endorse them
Yes, he should go to war with the snakes who determine whether or not his agenda gets enacted into law. That’s some Einstein-level strategery.
The RNC is full of CCP Democrats pretending to be Republicans. I live in communist Washington State and the second the King County RNC endorses the Republican candidate I know which one not to vote for. Our State is lost and I am afraid for Idaho and Montana because the socialist from California Started flooding Oregon & Washington back in the 80’s and that’s when things really started to change. They are doing the same to Idaho & Montana now.
You think you could do better? No one else seems to be trying to fix the problems we hired President Trump to fix. So he’s been in office about 6 months and hasn’t fixed everything yet?
Exactly.
Well said.
I was stupid enough to vote for Bush, then Mitt, then McCain.
Then I woke up.
Same.
Perhaps if you’d actually read what Sundance wrote you would not have asked that “question”..
There’s an awful lot of that going around.
How would you fix this one wise one? PDJT cannot fix this by himself. The first step in fixing this is to pour sunshine on the reality of the IC corruption. Sundance and PDJT are doing this. It is now becoming more apparent to more people about the corruption. PDJT doesn’t have to say he doesn’t have control – as Sundance says he can’t. But Sundance and millions of us can. Until the SCSi and HSCI get rid of those corrupt blackmail targets on there Congress won’t do a damn thing. We need some white/black hats like Edward Snowden to publish the IC stuff.
Trump can fix it. He is in charge of the military and all federal leo. Put me in charge of those, and I will fix it quickly. I may be impeached but it would be fixed.
🙄🙄
Don’t act like you know things that you don’t. As long as he keeps doing what he promised he would do, to the best of his ability. It’s all we can ask.
Excuses? There are no one making excuses here. But, there are plenty of people trying to grapple with reality as they are since, at least, ww2.
Do you want to be helpful, that is, not making excuses? How does one take control of the IC? How do you stop the Ukraine war? How do you assert the plain language of the Constitution that does not allow for automatic citizenship only by being born here with parents who are illegals aliens? How do you rein in the government coercive powers which are based on racism that the government themselves foment and expand? How do you rein the government coercive powers which are based on trans ideology that the government themselves foment and expand? This list goes on.
What is your excuse to not give an answer to any of these clearly illegal breaches of the Constitution?
That is a good question. However, why do we need to make excuses for him? We cannot know what he knows. We cannot know what he means by his statements: it’s all conjecture. All we can know is his actions. That is the only metric we can judge him by: is he showing in his actions that he is planning and able to take on the deep state? Or do his actions show a pattern of giving way to the deep state?
I suggest that IF President Trump has “control” of DoD and (I’ll add) the State Department, he can use these to wreck the INTEL Communities access, logistics, contacts and even legitimacy. Essentially force the operators associated with “wrecked” operations into becoming a stateless rogues. Also, try to slowly siphon off authority and responsibility.
Do all the wrecking and siphoning in PUBLIC.
This would be another very risky option … heck they are all going to be fraught with risk and very real danger because of the money, damaging information involved and out right evil people involved.
Any option at this point is going to risk, blackmail, ugly headlines, run into Congressional Resistance, et al … but it is another path … one I believe already started with the multiple hats worn by Rubio and Gabbard. Now DoD will have to joint the mix.
If President Trump is willing to basically IGNORE anything that happened before 20 January 2025, allot of DoJ would probably fall in line as well.
He needs to win over and BUY OFF the other parts of the Executive Branch of the Government, plus as much of congress as he can.
This is what happens when 2 x Branches of the Government (Judicial and Legislative) … plus a significant part of the Professional elements in the Executive Branch (supported by the corrupt other 2) occurs simultaneously.
Why not announce his intention for total peace with Russia, publicly? And immediately engage in talks directly in person with Putin. Start making moves such as cutting off Ukraine etc. things that don’t let the IC not follow his lead.
Truly. Leave the plotting and scheming to the vermin who see the future. Tell ALL, like God was standing right in front of you. He asks for this in faith and promises that He determines the outcome. Ask King David.
Sundance said it was either going to be ugly or uglier.
We have long since passed the point where a solution would have been relatively painless.
This is the most perilous time in our nation’s history, since the end of the Revolutionary War.
The evil that has pulled the strings in our government is being exposed.
They will be very afraid of exposure and will be willing to do ANYTHING to save what they created and themselves.
Keep your head on a swivel, try to spit yourself out of the System, help others, keep your head and PRAY.
The Lord knew all of this would happen.
He is not surprised.
He put you here, at this time and place, for such a time as this.
Remember, this world is not your home.
Pull strings like catastrophic weather? Hang on Hurricane season is here.
Welp, it’s not like it’s all been rosie.
Things being ugly or uglier is now pretty normal.
Maybe through these discussions another option will appear……PT has pulled rabbits out of hats…..
thedoc00,
the DOS has 40,000 employees and the the appointed leaders are about 3-4, not much more, the DOS is 90% haters of America and MAGA. The senate has intentionally set on their hands to not pull on more from Trump’s list, the Senate based on their conspiracy and coaction with the DS and IC community, they consider they have more power than Trump. All the hooting about the BBB, covers up the committee that is supposed approve his appointees. They are going slower than the first time.
The DOD are filled with leaders that are Anti Trumpers, the DOD has 2.91 million (mostly soldiers) and has got to be at least 10,000 of all leaders up to the top.
The problem of Anti Trumpers they were created from day 1 in 2017 and they continue to exist.
Yes it’s great we have so many, but from the perspective of the loyal to the President and CiC, is not the size of that Army that would defend him.
The only way I can think that he can be safe and control the war on the DS is to be flown to Cheyenne Mtn and run the country from there. Seems to be the only place in the military that is loyal to the CiC. Remember the if an emergency happens all the leaders and President are sequestered in safe places.
This is definitely a conundrum, but my belief is God always has a plan, and will work with Trump and others to resolve it. But there may be Civil war. I’ve never thought this, but it’s been pushed by the DS forever.
Trump is the best president we ever had he will always have my support but I don’t have to be silent on the filthy Epstien cover up,
The IC didn’t want the facts in this to get out and it appears Trump supported that , admit their lack of control or take control, Sadly Trump running interference in the filthy cover up is a tell on what way he is going .
Go away and stay on topic.
Another drive-by poster who doesn’t actually read what Sundance posts. Obviously.
Stop being so derogatory to other posters , it’s not necessary . Contrary to popular belief, it is acceptable for others to have opinions that differ from Sundance.
Even when I make a post that’s critical of something, it’s never directed toward fellow posters . It’s not only wrong it’s also against the rules.
the Epstein topic is part and parcel to the issue of who is in control of the republic.
and yes, i read every word of sundance’s posts.
“step up; or tell us we should be withdrawing our consent and step out of the way.“
You are right. It is an indicator of Trump’s control if more people made demands such as this.
Perhaps you can step up and name one actual person who can get elected and accomplish more than Trump.
Step up or shut up and step out of the way.
Epstein topic is a Deflection by DS—He was IC tool, it gets you all heated up about long term nothing–ie: it takes your eyes of the target===DS
I am not totally convinced PT knows all the facts surrounding the Epstein drama, nor am I convinced that he hasn’t been lied to. Saw many times in his first Administration where this was the case.
I think you go right at it. Work with friendly (RSBN type) reporters to have them “ask” the questions you need asked.
You have to weaponize the system against itself.
The DoD and CIA traditionally hate each other. So you create classified EO’s ordering the military to spy on the CIA, for example. A lot of the military is loyal to Trump, far more so than they would be loyal to Ukraine or the CIA. What Trump needs to know is who and how. Who is calling the shots in the IC visa vi Ukraine, and how are they moving their money, intel, and weapons?
Then, through friendly reporters, you leak that rogue IC personnel are operating without Presidential authorization. The goal is to create a media feeding frenzy that THINKS they are targeting Trump to dirty him up. But ultimately they frag the IC.
In parallel, it’s time to start undercutting Zekensky and the puppet govt in Ukraine. Again, through friendly reporters, have them start asking questions about how we’re propping up Ukrainian govt employee retirement plans.
When the Senate rides to the rescue, you go right at them. Tell the Senate to declare war on Russia. MAKE THEM VOTE or tell them to STFU. Spell out exactly what they are doing – use Rubio for this – and call them out by name. Especially Graham.
Call for Congressional subpoenas demanding answers from the CIA as to why they are conducting operations in Ukraine without POTUS authority. Name names, thanks DOD, and shove it in the Senate’s face.
Make the Senate declare war against Trump’s wishes, and against the wishes of 150M voters.
They won’t. They’ll crawl under their rocks.
And very importantly, have DoD start drawing up war plans to target Langley.
At the end of the day, this is GOING TO REQUIRE TANKS and US Marines inside the CIA HQ at Langley and all their operational facilities nationwide.
We stop hanging COA agents when we’re satisfied they’ve been brought to heel.
But you don’t roll in the tanks until you’ve completed your targeting activities and forced Congress to vote on a declaration of war that Trump will publicly opppse.
Trump needs to use the weapons of government to target the government.
I was wondering when someone would post something to this effect.
There’s the ugly part and the uglier part and they’re needed.
To pave the way for Marines to essentially invade Langley, we need to illustrate the depths of their disloyalty and treachery.
Importantly, I think Pres Trump needs to more vocally enlist the public’s help by talking about how the Intel Community, and the US Senate are trying to push the country into a war with Russia by conducting illegal and unauthorized operations in Ukraine.
He needs to get the public fired up about drafts, and nuclear war, and get them screaming at their senators and calling for arrests of CIA leadership.
Importantly, he needs to start decapitating CIA’s nonpolitical leadership. Far more than what Gabbard has done.
When the press howls, just howl back that we now fully understand that the CIA is the enemy of the people, and we’re going to restore the country to the people.
PT needs to put the Raising Cains to work…..ASAP.
MAGA is pissed and this Epstein thing isn’t going away
I’ve always thought these agencies will have to be hit with military assets, whether Marines or paratroopers. It’s the only way. You need Langley put under control and it will take military force to do that. Use a coup de main helicopter assault early in the morning, on the roof and the grounds. Seize control of all communications. Get control of the network and all electronic files. Armor will follow up and be used to seal the place off.
This is a nice plan, but it ASSUMES that the DOD is not spied upon by the IC/CIA, etc.
Perfectly fine. In fact, we want them looking over their shoulders and checking under their beds at night. Sow a little fear as you prepare for the inevitable.
No totalitarian regime ever went down without a fight. They will always try to resist, shoot their way out. We have to give them that opportunity.
Isaacs performance as Zhukov in “The Death of Stalin” comes to mind. Beria is trying to take over and Zhukov has the correct reply.
Cut off the clandestine parts of IC that you can—then cut ALL power off at every IC post you can find–[ICE],,,then let the marines have their fun, declare martial law for 30 days and mop up.
Unfortunately after 9//11 the DOD and the CIA lost a lot of the healthy suspicion and animosity they historically held towards each other. As well ass the distrust most of the IC had of the NSA, and inwardly, towards each other… That all largely disappeared in the aftermath of the cross pollination that occurred because of The Intelligence And Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004.
You will recall that the smirking Strzok was working for both the FBI and The Agency at the same time. Thirty years ago he would have been treated like a lepper that fell into a vat of radioactive waste. Not anymore though.
We went from wanting to “connect the dots”, to peak incest in two decades.
I would wager that the ties are closer in the J2’s and G2’s, for example, but much less sticky in the combat troops.
No time like the present to drive that wedge. But it has to be done in a way such that when military action against the IC becomes necessary, and that time is coming very quickly, that the military is primed, the public is primed, etc.
The IC is a stage 4 cancer that must be destroyed.
I think I find a fatal flaw in this plan. It sounds like an overthrow of the Republic to save the Republic.
Is it an overthrow of the Republic to save the Republic? I just want to know ahead of time.
Because I never burned down my house to save it from a flood before. I just want to know how that may end before I try it.
Dont have an answer……you may pray for a flood if it saves some of your things in your burning home.
When I said Trump was in control of the military and all federal leo, that is how I would use them. You are over the target. Get ugly and ruthless.
they only have power if we recognize it.
they cannot put 100+ million in jail.
they can if they convince a 100+ M to shut up and consent to their governance. how is that functionally different?
Unfortunately, the apt analogy is to the 70% which meekly submitted to the gene serum masquerading as a vaccine. Brought to us by Sainted Fauci, now drawing excellent coin on the high-end lecture circuit.
As I recall the cut was 30% 40% 30% Its the 40% that can be swayed if presented with enough uncomfortable facts.
They used J6 to create a mental jail for the supposed 100+ million.
Not even a tiny march or assembly in support of the MAGA agenda and the President that the President hasn’t organized himself.
Many comments like “well conservatives don’t operate like Democrats, we just go to our jobs and home to our families”, “I don’t want to end up like a J6er”, etc.
Uh, well, you might ask the folks in the old Soviet Union just how free they were.
It is possible to turn an entire nation into a jail.
We are in a jail.
If PDJT was going to tell the truth about the IC then they would not have handled Epstein the way that they did. The administration is not in control. Kash and Dan know MAGA media, there would have been a DOJ/FBI press event that walked through any releasable evidence, or in open and closed hearings in Congress. NOT a leaked memo to Axios. The fact they haven’t disputed or commented on it is even more telling, considering Tom Fitton is reporting the DOJ claims they are still reviewing evidence so they can’t comply with FOIAs. Talking out both sides of the mouth. Dan would have never accepted how the video was released with no context or analysis.
I’m not sure they even have a beach head at this point. I think all three, or at least Patel and Bongino, have seen about as much as we have, and were told to keep their noses out of it. That’s just DOJ/FBI. Ratcliffe is probably isolated, Tulsi has been parked, and Rubio is playing it as cool as a cucumber.
Funny, only DHS/ICE/CBP seems to be responsive.
This isn’t a republic. I won’t fight for this perverse oligarchy, nor would I send my kids to. But I’d work to get rid of it. I hope God helps Trump to do the incredible and lead us out of this mess.
You do not have the knowledge details to speak as you do!
DS would love to see what you propose happen,,,,because DS started this….it is their deflection,,,,to entice MAGA to move at the wrong time, in the wrong direction.
The Covid compliance example is good, but how many percentage wise have wised up since? I don’t think you would have 70% compliance if they pulled something like that again. I would hope.
Of that 70%, a percentage of them were not fooled, they simply realized that standing tall resulted in getting shot down.
You can say, “if everyone did it…” and be right, but people have families to feed.
Many are sidelined with continuing illness due to the vax. Those people would be willing to do somethings because they are angry….rightly so.
I too was programmed to trust authority. If Father God had not showed me in time, I might have taken the shot too and be in a mess like they are.
Such a betrayal comes at a cost…to the one who betrayed you.
The interview questions were scripted. I prefer an angry Marco, because this interview was about lowering expectations.
TPTB, are setting up 2028, with this Ukraine thing they are dabbling in, as highlighting a Trump-Maga failure in the foreign policy dept. The ME was too much winning.
They cannot lie to us on our home soil, because we can see the truth with our own eyes. But far of narratives, they continue to play around with.
Maybe the f-ck, they are planning some modern version of a Vietnam shit show for the protest flying monkey brigade on speed dial. Anything for the rage machine at this point.
The real threat is the posturing and preening of the lawless behavior of the law breakers, to show us how f-ing jacked up they can get us, while they enjoy their lavish tax payer funded lifestyles, with zero repercussions.
Sorry for the salty language but there is an intentional shift of information right now, designed to start cutting us off at the knees, over Ukraine.
(insert middle finger, Mickey)
This has been the situation for decades.
The investigative reporter Bill Moyers made a documentary back in the 80s about the USIC.
https://billmoyers.com/content/secret-government-constitution-crisis/
You can read the transcript of that documentary here:
https://www.wanttoknow.info/050423secretgovernment
“Moyers: “The Secret Government is an interlocking network of official functionaries, spies, mercenaries, ex-generals, profiteers and superpatriots, who, for a variety of motives, operate outside the legitimate institutions of government. Presidents have turned to them when they can’t win the support of the Congress or the people, creating that unsupervised power so feared by the framers of our Constitution. Just imagine that William Casey’s dream came true. Suppose the enterprise grew into a super-secret, self-financing, self-perpetuating organization. Suppose they decided on their own to assassinate Gorbachev or the leader of white South Africa. Could a President control them and what if he became the enterprise’s public enemy Number One? Who would know? Who would say no?”
Moyer’s was a leftist.
Did he provide hard sources, not opinions?
I’m calling on the name…
“President Donald Trump has recently expressed significant frustration and criticism toward Russian President Vladimir Putin, marking a shift in his approach to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Trump stated, “I’m not happy with Putin, I can tell you that much right now, because he’s killing a lot of people,” during a Cabinet meeting, indicating his dissatisfaction with Putin’s actions. This sentiment was echoed in other statements where Trump remarked, “We get a lot of bulls— thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth. He’s very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless“.“
I ‘m with President Trump, not Putin.
I’m with America.
Much of America is totalitarian Democommunist.
For instance, NYC’s future mayor.
The more I read of the comments on this page the more I get the burned rubber smell of Antifa filling my nostrils.
I am sorry to keep returning to the vaporization of Sulamani. He was an American asset and a decent man. The CIA was able to convince President Trump that he was, indeed, the exact opposite> It was a faux pas, consistent in some ways with endorsing injections at the conclusion of MAGA rallies. The CIA, NATO, EU are not Sessions, Pence running around in short pants. Personally, complete withdrawl and isolation with a 100% concentration within the country’s borders appears to be the only pausible exit ramp. Monaco ll.
the one thing I do know about President Trump
He is a King deal maker
its in his blood
is Epstein part of a deal he is making?
trying to build trust with the IC ?
now the IC comes back with
the suspended SS agents a on their side for some trust?
thing is this is the wrong thing to make any kind of deal on
is Epstein part of a deal he is making?
trying to build trust with the IC ?
what would lead us to believe the IC would honor their end?
Cutting off USAID and other money laundering avenues was a smart start to getting the IC to heel.
How deep are foreign pockets in providing funds to the IC?
Tariffs make other countries check themselves about how much they want to fund of warmongering; to what avail? A stalemate?
NATO 5% GDP push (though I don’t foresee any of them attaining that number in my lifetime) is a put up or shut up needed move by President Trump.
I am sure the EU will feign outrage of the thought of having to use their own patriot batteries…the nerve of the US asking them to get their fingernails dirty.
China just licking their chops in the background
When you read other news – such as the horrible news about the resurgence of the screw worm in cattle – I wonder if not only USAID money was thrown away but perhaps money for USDA that was improperly allocated. Why was the USDA hassling the Amish farmers but apparently not tending to the screw worms, for example?
Because the job of the USDA is to cause the decline of the health of Americans, by controlling their access to healthy food provided by folks like the Amish, while simultaneously increasing the profits of Big Food and Big Agriculture. And coincidentally, Big Pharma.
Fat, dumb, and brainless Americans are easier to fool and control, so this also benefits Big Government.
Evil is profitable.
Particularly when it is protected by the very entity that was put in charge of policing it.
This is true of EVERY Federal government entity that is charged with regulating an industry.
well, it’s easier to hassle the Amish farmers
they’re on our turf
Remember the last time PT said no more…..and they went right ahead and did anyway making him look foolish…..Going through NATO is another way……I imagine behind the scenes he threatened to pull out of NATO if this directive wasn’t followed. So now the IC must deal with the threat …..Message sent to IC through back door.
Forgot to mention above is JMO
Speak JESUS!
Yes. He is always faithful.
“Speak Jesus over every enemy.”
We know this is a spiritual war, and every enigma encountered therein.
Sooo, then their is no answer except to continue the status quo, right. And, of course, that’s exactly what “they” want. At some point if we’re going to continue down this road to free America from the grip of the enemy we have to take the step of telling the truth about everything, because nothing else will work. And that includes all the “stuff” around the epstein debacle. Only the truth sets you free, nothing else will. If America is going to lose anyway because evil still controls it, the only option is to go with the truth and let the chips fall where they may. There is no other option…
And maybe, just maybe, Tulsi Gabbard will be the one to do it. The woman has the temerity, I believe, to do it.
Temerity: Use the noun temerity to mean the quality of being unafraid of danger or punishment.
This rule is perfect – In all matters of political opinion, our opponents are all pretenders.
🤷♀️
Ok….so I am going to throw another—
iron in the fire….
NATO and EU…..
One of the red lines for Russia—
Ukraine cannot join NATO.
President Trump and team has been working
to stop the war. Russia has been participating
in negotiations.
A month ago during a speech the head of NATO…
loser Mark Rutte …during a speech states—
“ there is an irreversible path for Ukraine to join NATO.”
I see it as President fighting our IC, warmonger politicians,
MIC, NATO and EU.
His statement is beginning of video. Everyone can hear for themselves.🤷♀️
Mark Rutte’s Flip-Flop Game on Ukraine’s NATO Membership EXPOSED! |Critics SLAM NATO’s Mixed Signals – YouTube
Sorry I have not sifted through the other comments to see if what I am wanting to say has already been covered by other readers!
The speculation about trump possibly playing 3D. Chess with intelligence community is rampant. The more they try to hide it the bigger the story becomes. Streissand effect. And I think maybe that is what trump wants!
And maybe this is to force democrats to scream that trump has fumbled and thereby force democrats to implicate themselves with Epstein!
problem is democrats are involved in Epstein mess , they want trump to be embarrassed but they don’t wanna be implicated therefore no mention inNYT or leftist press. I have seen The Epstein story is being carried by fox and right wing press.
For example there is speculation all over the internet that Epstein was triple agent mossad , CIA. mI6, and this supports fantastic story of blackmail about child trafficking involving Saudi and uk and other world leaders, bankers, academics , and US congress members both GOP and democrat , who would be compromised by disclosure of Epstein stories
trump may not want to be the one to bring down this whole house of cards and compromise important people, create run on stock market, while he is focusing on negotiating peace with Russia and Iran and figuring out the tariffs
I am reading speculation that if trump discloses the Epstein client list and or “terrabites” of victim information and blackmails of important people, , he may be targeted viciously by intelligence community
the contradiction against what Bondi disclosed earlier looks like a fumble. But maybe it is not. I think it is More likely that trump has a plan in mind! It is so unlike trump to fumble anything in my view!
wilder speculation is that that Trump maybe made a deal ? to agree to bury the Epstein story , and agree to more weapons for Ukraine , or agree to bomb Iran nukes at fordo , and or agree to endorse Graham and cotton in exchange for getting Senate / House acquiescence to big beautiful bill
Trump is pragmatic and to me that seems the most likely scenario.
Epstein is gone. If Trump used the threat of releasing the Epstein files to get evil doers to do good. So be it.
President Trump knows full well how his many pro-peace calls with Putin have gone.
He doesn’t need the CIA to tell him how they went.
Great article! The only quibble I have is with the construct that there are two options: 1) admit you don’t have control and 2) take control. The two options are to not do either one or two (the current status quo) or to do both one and two, that is, admit you don’t have control at the same time as you try to take control.
My prediction is that the first option, ignore everything, will continue to the end of Trump’s term. But if you want to try to take control, you have to be very public about the fact that you aren’t in control. Because when you try to take control, the deep state is going to fight back in a way that makes you look incompetent (see, e.g., the Waltz-Hegseth chat group SNAFU) or even evil, and you have to be in a position to explain to the public what is going on, i.e., deep state sabotage because the deep state does not want to be controlled by the people’s elected representatives.
The people will understand if you tell the truth. A good place to start would be on this Epstein thing. Just come out and say, “Pedo Island was a Mossad operation designed to produce Kompromat on rich and powerful people. The CIA should never have aided such an overtly evil operation, but they did. The agents who cooperated with Mossad on the Epstein operation have been fired, and will be prosecuted for conspiracy to traffic children, but it doesn’t serve the interests of justice or our national security to ‘out’ the individuals that Mossad produced Kompromat on, so we are not going to publish that list.” Sadly, the Trump Administration has chosen to blatantly lie about the Epstein affair and it is rapidly eroding the base’s confidence in the whole Trump movement.
Ukraine could be handled in the same way: “The American deep state was pursuing its own foreign policy with regard to Russia, which included using Ukraine to provoke Russian into a war designed to kill as many Russians as possible and degrade national defense capabilities. The U.S. taxpayer has been funding this war, and the U.S. deep state has been providing the weapons and the satellite, intelligence, and targeting capabilities to fight Russia. However, the foreign policy of the United States should be determined by its elected representatives, and I, Donald Trump, was elected to end the Ukraine war and pursue a policy of peace, trade, and mutual cooperation with Russia. Because Putin wants the deaths of many thousands of his countrymen to mean something, this requires “losing” the war, i.e., capitulation to virtually all of Russia’s demands. But that is the only way to implement the people’s vastly preferred policy of ending all forever wars and having peace with everyone.”
I honestly think the mistake here is to assume that the USIC is being controlled from the inside of the USIC machine. In fact, it seems that control is coming from outside the machine. Even worse, the actual machine is outside of everything else.
Therefore, there is no control to be regained.
That leaves option 1 only!
In fact, it seems that control is coming from outside the machine
That’s kinda cryptic, Akh
Are you alluding to Peking, Pyongyang, or Kalorama?
Get the org chart and start firing at the top of the CIA working your way down until the resistance stops.
Not firing, arresting. Gotta take them off the board completely.
If you’re a person of prayer, go deeper. If you’re not, consider it. We’re going to need forces far greater than we can see in order to make it through this.
There’s a powder keg underneath this darkness we’re watching unfold, and if it blows it could very well dismantle society with the horrific truth it reveals. Don’t assume you’re prepared for that. Don’t assume you can survive it. Don’t assume the social order of civilization can survive it. There are experiences that can break the mind.
Pray for God’s Will, grace, and mercy. We need it.
The only reliable way to survive is to be willing to lose your life, to save it.
Jesus is the ONLY Way, Truth and Life.
I was willing to lose my life rather than take that poison death shot. It seems that was the mindset necessary to avoid it.
I put my life in God’s hands. No one else’s.
When eternal life is truly more important to us than whatever it is we may suffer during this temporary earthly sojourn, we start to live our very best lives. Just as God intended.
Amen.
Did Lyndsey Graham and co know about the strikes in Russia ahead of time?
Most likely….
FTA –
Graham and Blumenthal’s visit (May 30, 2025) came just before Ukrainian officials on Sunday claimed that their country’s drones struck and damaged more than 40 warplanes in attacks on four military airports inside Russia (June 1, 2025).
Graham, a Putin critic, applauded Ukraine’s drone warfare tactics and urged action against Russia in a post on X following the reports.
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/graham-senators-escalating-calls-severe-russia-sanctions-bill/story?id=122415816
To me the biggest resource we have that is missing is: we the people.
We have been cuddled, brainwashed, made dependent and have no idea the power that we have within us, even barely organized much greater if we were to get organized.
Everyone needs to start crashing silo spreading sunlight. Look how much doge did.
We cannot expect President Trump to do it alone. And no one knows how many truly faithful there are.
Even here on the treehouse, we are not always sure who is somebody on the same side with a different idea or executing patios on us as a community.
https://rumble.com/v6vzugc-alan-dershowitz-bombshell-ive-seen-the-epstein-list-i-know-the-names.html
The problem for President Trump is not that this reality exists; the bigger political problem for President Trump is that people are increasingly becoming aware of this reality.
I’m one of them and if I know, I can only imagine what is being said by the powerbrokers in Russia, China, North Korea, EU and all the others.
I remember a conversation I had years ago, questioning how much power and influence an American president could wield in a 4 year term. That was bad enough.
This is exponentially worse.
The only option, IMO, is for us to wrest the power from those subverting our President but I have no idea how to make that happen. Particularly when disaffected State Dept. and USAID employees are bragging about subverting our government.
I think it’s going to take heads rolling for the situation to right itself yet I wonder if they have enough control over the miscreants to achieve the change?
Yet China seems to skate on any of it’s evil deeds…
The point of President Trump trying to work with Russia is to thwart China.
“Back to the point – Again, President Trump and Secretary Rubio seem to have two options: 1. Admit their lack of control, or 2. Take control“
That’s not exactly right. Trump wil not and must not admit a lack of control, which I contend is a theory not easily proven. The third option is to pull out. Let the chips fall where they may.
How much of a reduction in the IC can PDJT accomplish? How many could be prosecuted by DOJ? How can Congress reduce budgets of the different IC agencies?
He can reduce them 100%. cia needs to be eliminated completely. And not by the DoJ.
Don’t think that DJT isn’t stewing over the how and when he could take this whole thing apart and reset it. With DJT, timing is everything. Like any good developer, they understand the importance of timing.
Sundance, excellent overview. The answer to your question is simple. Take control, there’s no other honest, sincere or practical conclusion. No matter how hard it may be everything in this life is finite. When faced with such a nefarious entity you go on offense and you use the righteous logic God blessed us with and you win. You don’t allow wounds to fester, nor evil to knowingly lurk in your bedroom closet. Everything can be be dismantled and beaten. Everything accept goodness, logic and free will.
Some people even posit that Trump was allowed to win the 2024 presidential election (by the powerful cabal that actually runs the govt) for various (economic) reasons.
Perhaps we need to reconsider our view of the limits of the powers of the modern-day Presidency.
Where on earth did you come across THAT?
Ask yourself, truthfully: how did Biden get 81 million votes – including about 10 million or so fraudulent “votes”- but Kamala got only 75 million? With all of the illegals having been registered to vote as a result of Biden’s open borders policy Kamala should have been able to get upwards of 85 million but somehow she only got 75 million?
Now take an honest look at the total lack of accountability for all of the crimes – including treason – that have been committed by high ranking people in government and other positions of power. No arrests… not a single one despite mountains of evidence. No release of any damaging information like the Epstein files, P. Diddy stuff, absolutely nothing at all. Fauchi and Mayorkas walk around free men despite almost destroying the country.
Why won’t Trump prosecute anyone from the deep state / IC? Why won’t he release ANY damaging or incriminating information on the deep staters?
The Occam’s razor answer is that a deal was struck between TPTB and the Trump campaign to allow DJT to win the 2024 election by withholding those millions of fraudulent “votes”…. With the condition being that the deep state / IC will not be damaged in any way. Trump can play around and try to fix the economy, do some domestic policy stuff but he’s not allowed to prosecute any “important” people and he can’t mess around too much with foreign policy stuff like their precious wars.
Got a better answer to the question of how DJT was able to overcome the democrat’s absolutely massive voter fraud machine, and explain all of the bad stuff that is being allowed to happen?
I have been waiting for Sundance to address this very subject.
We know the story of Alexander the Great solving the Gordian Knot is a legend. Or perhaps it isn’t a legend. Either way, this issue at hand can’t be solved by a simple swing of a sword, cutting it open.
What we have here is a mystery, inside a riddle, wrapped in an enigma. (Winston Churchill).
God help us, history can’t.
If he takes control it will be bloody and the EU’s IC will be swept up in into the battles. The people need to be prepared and forewarned here and in Europe. It is a civil war with the IC across two continents with China and Russia laughing their asses off. That is a problem with this fight. Two major powers will grow relatively stronger.
A lot of people will die. His reputation will be trashed and, in a 100 years, he will be thought of as the second George Washington who fought the imperial power of his time.
There has to be a third way, a quiet way.
The best way to eat an apple is one bite at a time, all around, try to eat it all at once is not advisible.
Once you have exposed the inner core and seeds – garbage disposal time.
Where are the Untouchables when you need them?
Holy Scripture warns us of groups that seek power, gain, and control through secret oaths, murders, and conspiracies. Organized crime, deep state collusion, corrupt elites undermine societies, corrupt governments, and bring down civilizations. This systemic corruption, covert power structures, and organized conspiracies operate in secrecy to subvert freedom, justice, and righteousness in society. These are conspiratorial groups that seek power, gain, and control through secrecy, violence, and manipulation. They use oaths, loyalty pacts, and intimidation to protect their members and avoid accountability. They work to infiltrate governments, control institutions, and oppress people. They seek to control societies from behind the scenes.
“Whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret combinations… shall be destroyed.”
“Awake to a sense of your awful situation.”
We must “awake to a sense of our awful situation” or else the infiltration of our government will bring down our civilization and lead to societal collapse. Citizens and disciples are called to expose, resist, and refuse to support corruption in all forms. We must support transparency, accountability, and freedom under moral law. We must expose darkness and defend liberty.
loyalty oaths and secrecy enable criminal elites to avoid justice. In the U.S. these groups will eventually lead to loss of constitutional order, erosion of liberty, corruption of our laws, destruction of our constitutional government and replaced it with tribal rule.
not 1/2 way thru 1st quarter and look at the white flags – just stay the fuq out of the way
There is also the issue of “spiritual dark forces at work in high places”, CTH always alludes to but has conveniently left out of this article. Trump is still just a man. However, a pivotal character within this passion play we all are experiencing. Perhaps the question isn’t “should Trump have control?”, but how much illusion of control is the reader willing to accept is our reality?
Certainly can identify with the tone of the imaginary inquiry of the Gordian Pandora Box Cutter and take it a step further by calling the implied third-rail risks; pig-piling.
Plenty of scoping ego’s willing to sell their souls just to see maga fail and be the historical footnote by-line of that outcome.
The problem as I see it, is a generational reversal of taking this increased awareness and rechannelling to more productive endeavors.
Which is an even bigger hurdle than the very ugly or even uglier choices. The hurdle that at the end of day are people able or even willing to pull in the same direction once the rogue IC roots have received a measured dose of paraquat and the swamp bush has withered in the sunlight exposure.
=================
Looking back over a life time of experiences. I must have been about 17 at the time of my first encounter with the Company. Two curious gentlemen, likely refered by a teacher. Came and spoke with me about the in vogue topic of the day. Ronnie’s ‘StarWars’.
They were interested in what I thought about electro-magnetic propulsion and a topic of teenager geek talk that was running the gambit of my peer group. Superconducting quantum interference device(SQUIDs) and the concept of universal non-existance.
Being the precocious child I still am and not understanding their purpose, said something to the affect, “Have we not enough ways to blow ourselves up without needing more ways.”
It’s been a life long pattern of self-preservation long before these two curious gentlemen . To be the clown by choice.
Sufficed to say, “I leave it to reader to figure out just whom got the short end of the stick.”
While I was finishing college, a very senior professor whom I admired greatly took me aside to ask if I wanted to be involved with him on “a project.” He said that it would require “a security clearance,” and briefly described what that would mean.
After taking the offered day to consider, I politely told him that I was not interested. (And I wound up doing the same, a few other times since.)
I simply do not want to have a job where I can’t talk about what I did today at work. But also, even then I sensed that the requirement for such a “clearance” could become a “Sword of Damocles” hanging just over your head. And, while I have nothing to hide, I didn’t want “investigators” poring over my or my family’s lives. It just wasn’t worth it.
So, I went on to do some unusual things – some very unusual, of which I am quite proud – and I can freely talk to you today about any of them.
I think there is a third way. Consider, first, that the swamp is global. Second, that it has been formed over a period of decades, possibly centuries. That would mean there are embeds literally everywhere, and to deal with them it would be necessary to cut off their funding while simultaneously drawing out the assets for elimination. What would this look like?
Maybe, it would look like destruction of the money laundering system, biological weapon cache, and bastion of Naziism that is Ukraine, in which case Trump and Putin would be aligned against the EU and Bank of England. But they certainly wouldn’t let on.
It might also look like using the Epstein files, if they still exist, as political leverage rather than releasing them. It also might look like having Tulsi stick her neck out to see who goes after her so those assets, too, could be targeted. Again, we would never know about that.
The same people Trump is confronting killed JFK and RFK, scuttled Nixon’s career, and took out JFK Jr. and maybe RFK Jr.’s wife. I don’t imagine this would be a circumstance that would be best served by blowing down doors like Marshall Dillon.
“A huge part of our political system is predicated on blackmail,”
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/watch-investigative-journalist-explains-why-epstein-case-will-never-progress
Wasn’t it the wheelchair-bound young Congressman Madison Cawthorn who recounted blackmail efforts the moment he entered DC? Verily they do ruthlessly exploit moral weakness. And while I hope and pray with gritted teeth that 2033 will mark the return of Christus Rex, may His message sink through to DC before then.
In the name of the Father and Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Holy Christ the King. You know who our enemies are, you know all their plans. I ask as our Commander of the Army of the Lord’s Angels to answer our prayers. Prayers your son David cried out to you. This evil has too much power. But with your Word and your might we ask for your power and might to be shown and strike down this evil and free your people from this tyranny!
Let their table become a snare before them,
And their well-being a trap.
[23] Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see;
And make their loins shake continually.
[24] Pour out Your indignation upon them,
And let Your wrathful anger take hold of them.
[25] Let their dwelling place be desolate;
Let no one live in their tents.
[26] For they persecute the ones You have struck,
And talk of the grief of those You have wounded.
[27] Add iniquity to their iniquity,
And let them not come into Your righteousness.
[28] Let them be blotted out of the book of the living,
And not be written with the righteous.
Psalm 69:22-28 NKJV
In Jesus name Amen.
Amen!
It appears to me that Rush’s seminar callers have transitioned to CTH seminar posters.
[President Trump has not destroyed the Deep State in 7 months; therefore, he is a failure] …. uh, right, got it.
Sundance is spot on here about the bad and worse choices ahead and no other person in politics has the fortitude to turn this ship around more than President Trump. Most people would have folded long ago. This battle for control will only get more intense.
Marco Rubio’s incredible transformation leads me to think there is a deeper plan than meets the eye. Sometimes a deep breath and step back brings things into better focus.
The “seminar caller” insight is greatly appreciated .👍
AND …
Your comments are right on.
Perhaps an appropriate metaphor is offered by baseball. PDJT is figuratively in the field at present; one simply does not score runs while in the field. Soon enough, figuratively, PDJT will be at bat with the IC in the field. Fight each and every inning.
Option 2 is the only viable option. The CIA is our most dangerous intelligence organization and they are completely rogue. The FBI is as bad but at least they have less capability to start and maintain a foreign war.
President Trump is between a rock and a hard place and my earlier recommendations were naive. But there are people who have been in the CIA or have worked closely with the CIA who can help him understand his options for bringing the CIA to heel. As Sundance said, Option 2 is even uglier but President Trump must get this under control. I’m just afraid that he will feel that having CIA agents die on his watch and due to his directions will be more than he can face. But he needs to get it done and get it done quickly. Things like this are why we elected him to be our weapon.
“The CIA is our most dangerous intelligence organization… ” that we know of.
What other organizations exist that we don’t know of?
Why does Trump keep golfing with Lindsey?
Why is this buffoon Kellogg in Trump’s orbit — who is a laughingstock in Russia?
At a point in time, we have to start asking questions. We are in the middle of July, and yet we are still pumping in weapons for a venture that is bound for failure.
Via Truth Social, PDJT just endorsed Lindsey for re-election. “Keep your … enemies closer” is fine, so long as one avoids their STDs.
Keep your enemies closer?
Here’s what taking control would look like:
First you take option #1 and admit that the executive branch doesn’t have control. Then you lay out who (by giving their names) is standing in the way. Then you arrest them. Now I expect to hear from everyone telling me “it’s not that simple”.
It is. It really is if these things are communicated properly. Tulsi can help with that because every time Trump speaks half the country hates him more than they already did. If a CLEAR CASE is made then We The People will be behind it.
Also, you don’t need magic silos to declassify a document if you post it on Twitter. Who would have walked in the OO in 2017 and arrested Trump for tweeting a picture of a document proving russiagate was BS?
We are seeing that the President is not really in charge of his branch of government, and not even in charge as the Commander In Chief over the US Military. It’s like the deep state still has control of the auto-pen no matter who gets elected. And so many did not understand this before now, but some are waking up to the reality.
Trump called welker to tease a major announcement on RU. Last time he called her it was to selectively put something out there.
Any thoughts? It’s very obviously not a stupid escalation (military, NATO, ultimatum) maybe sanctions? Maybe an attempted summit meeting?
My first thought is, wat is a ‘welker” ?
Question: “Trump called welker to tease a major announcement on RU”?
Answer:“During an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press” with Kristen Welker, Donald Trump mentioned that he had called her over the weekend, stating, “I don’t fire people because of fake news and witch hunts,” in reference to questions about the job security of government officials involved in a disclosed incident.
Additionally, in another context, Trump engaged with Welker regarding various topics, including economic concerns, where he turned the tables on her questioning about a potential recession, asserting that some people on Wall Street predict the economy will perform exceptionally well under his leadership.
However, specific details of a “major announcement on RU” were not explicitly detailed in the provided context.”
Sobering article. Thanks, I think.
