I shared with readers last year that if CTH felt confident DC engagement would lead to positive results, I would take you on the journey. Having spent so many years inside the rabbit holes of the DC intel matrix, We The People deserve to fully understand just how this corrupt system operates. Well, as promised….
When you mention sensitive intelligence and the whereabouts of corrupt evidence that could expose the state of our weakened Republic, one of the first things you notice is that almost everyone in DC is afraid—both personally and institutionally—to acknowledge it.
The Deep State relies on this fear.
You can find this fear promoted in the words of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer when he said in January 2017, “when you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday to get back at ya.”
Schumer said this two weeks before Donald Trump first took office, aiming to drive home a key point – the DC intelligence system is built to go after anyone who threatens the interests of those overseeing it. Basically, if you try to take on DC corruption, there are guards in place ready to take you down.
President Trump, you, me and all Americans spent the next several years watching that dynamic play out in real time.
After a long stretch of exhausting research, endless digging, and getting lost in the rabbit holes created by the IC, you eventually figure out how to face the fear they stir up. The real issue isn’t the fear held by those providing the information—it’s the fear carried by those who receive it and are tasked with acting on it.
Taking on the intelligence community requires two key things. First, a fearless person in a position of authority who can stand strong against the intense manipulation they may unleash. Second, a strategy that makes telling the truth a personal mission.
The IC have a pattern in their targeting; they repeat previously successful tactics. An effective strategy -to get beyond the fear and gain support from the Executive- is to predict how the IC will eventually target them if they take no action.
In the example of retrieving and making public the Inspector General Michael Atkinson transcript as a datapoint to expose the IC corruption, the strategy was to reinforce how intelligence community would use the same approach to target IC leadership, if no sunlight is provided.
In essence, if you don’t go see what they did, review the past event, put it into the context of what it means, well, they will repeat that attack against you.
This might not get the person in power to take immediate action; after all, the information provider is basically predicting something that would be remarkable for them to encounter if it happened. The only thing the information provider can do is to tell the location of the evidence, emphasize why it is important and then predict what will happen if the underlying corrupt activity is not exposed.
Thankfully, the “Seven Ways from Sunday” group are predictable.
Corrupt officials control us by manipulating our love of country; so, we must expose them by using their predictable hatred of it against them.
What followed a few months later was an IC targeting operation that was essentially a duplication of what took place before. Suddenly, the previous reference point takes on an entirely new perspective. Yes, it becomes personal:

That’s the backstory.
♦ Additionally, last year you might remember that DNI Tulsi Gabbard moved the National Intelligence Council (NIC) out of the CIA. This was done specifically because the covert nature of the CIA was used by the NIC members to manufacture political intelligence.
Any resulting NIC analysis, much of which was fraudulently shaped by politics, could not be easily challenged because the covert nature of the CIA protected the authors (analysts) and their constructs.
Both Eric Ciaramella and Julia Gurganus worked inside the CIA on the NIC analysis that framed John Brennan’s Russian Interference narrative in January 2017, known as the fraudulent Intelligence Community Assessment. Eric Ciaramella was also the anonymous CIA whistleblower in 2019 for the impeachment effort.
The opaque nature of the CIA was used by NIC analysts as a fabrication tool, one of the “ways” Chuck Schumer described.
When DNI Gabbard and CIA Director Ratcliffe worked together to remove the NIC from the CIA, the bad actors within the IC game lost a strategic and political narrative tool.
The Intelligence Community embeds were angry and started leaking stuff to allies in media (WSJ, WaPo, Politico and NYT). The goal was to undermine Tulsi Gabbard at every step, using every resource and doing whatever it took.
However, DNI Gabbard stayed on mission despite the IC trying to also penetrate the concentric circles around the Office of The President with their bulls**t narratives.
♦ Last point, the current “Trump supporters” who try to undermine ODNI Tulsi Gabbard are either: (1) brutally naïve, (2) easily manipulated, or (3) working intentionally to retain the Intelligence Community control system that DNI Gabbard is dutifully deconstructing. A shockingly large number of popular voices are part of group three.
Think about it in very commonsense terms.
DNI Gabbard is digging, declassifying and releasing information that exposes what very bad people have done against President Trump and our nation. The outcomes of her patriotic activity flow steadily from her office. Everyone can see them. So, what exactly are the motives of those who want to undermine Tulsi Gabbard?
Keep it simple, don’t reconcile bad behavior.
From 2020: “A new Democratic-aligned political action committee advised by retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the former head of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, is planning to deploy technology originally developed to counter Islamic State propaganda in service of a domestic political goal” …..“The group, Defeat Disinfo, will use artificial intelligence and network analysis to map discussion of [opposition] claims on social media. It will seek to intervene by identifying the most popular counter-narratives and boosting them through a network of more than 3.4 million influencers across the country — in some cases paying users with large followings to take sides against [their opposition].”…
[…] The initiative reflects fears within the Democratic Party that Trump’s unwavering digital army may help sustain him … as it has through past controversies, even as the economy craters … and Trump suffers in the polls. “It’s often said campaigns are a battle of ideas, but they’re really a battle of narratives,” said David Eichenbaum, a Democratic media consultant who is a senior adviser to the PAC. “Today those narratives spread quickly online.” (source)
to the following stand in this cesspool of smoke and mirrors?:
Tulsi Gabbard
Kash Patel
Lindsay Graham?
Jim Jordan
Marsha Blackburn
Ted Cruz
John Thune
I said smoke and mirrors after careful thought. I wanted to say cloak and daggers, but no one really dies except for Clinton enemies and Barack’s chef.
I wish it were cloak and daggers. There is enough evidence for may people to start being daggered. More evidence than it took for Washington to hang spies, or the world to execute Nazi’s
The tree of Liberty is starving for water.
The traitors in the US – citizen and not – really need to be feeling like the Iranian Guard, or Narcoterrorist boats
The tree of Liberty is watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots, not water.
I say, let’s get rid of income tax as a first step. No one taxed for their labor is really free.
https://www.monticello.org/encyclopedia/tree-liberty-quotation
No…..we need accountability first and foremost! And by getting that….we may even demolish the demonrat party!
Otherwise……anything Trump does…..including getting rid of taxes……the demonrats just bring back. And that…..wouldn’t be the worst they would do……..they will go after Trump, his family and us!
Susie Wiles and sidekick Pam Bondi stand in the way of MAGA
Why can’t they be replaced? Surely the President feels like he’s trying to sprint toward his goals with each foot encased in cement, one named Wiles, one named Bondi.
POTUS allowed Bondi to be ivengeance.
Wait until the Democrats take power, they will go after the GOP and President Trump with a vengance.
BTW, Susie Wiles now living in the White House.
How do we know PT hasn’t cut a deal with the deep State? He wont go after them if he is allowed to implement the rest of his agenda. It is terrible to have that thought but what is the explanation of his attitude towards Bondi and Patel who have been useless. They have been an anchor around PT neck and his legacy. Surely he would know they would not keep their end of the deal? They would persecute PT as well as his ardent followers and influencers.Why haven’t the influencers been screaming in order to save their own skins? Unless they are part of it. Complicit. Hope they don’t expect to receive reward if so they are stupid.
Tulsi Gabbard seems to have a natural desire to do what is right, what America needs to exit the mire of the corrupt swamp.
She could easily get my vote for President, based on her actions.
And that would be an independent vote – I have (as of recently) left the uni-party system for lack of trust.
I agree with you……Tulsi stands extremely tall when it comes to MAGA, Patriotism and her love for our country. Close to where Trump stands. And that I believe is closer to what we want to replace Trump when he leaves even more so than a Vance or a Rubio. Although……I will say Rubio has come a long way and I would actually put him second behind Tulsi…..Vance going to my 3rd choice.
It’s MAGA against the establishment of DC!
Rubio (along with Cruz, Haley, Kamala, & Obama) are NOT Natural Born Citizens, and therefore INELIGIBLE to the Presidency.
I don’t understand why people here, of all places, think it’s unimportant.
The bad guys are trying to set precedent to get a real Manchurian candidate into the office, and are outsourcing their plan for that, as we speak.
I really don’t understand Laura Loomer’s relentless attack on DNI Gabbard. Sundance, can you explain this? All this podcasters going off the rails is baffling to me except that I understand the grift part of it. I have never listened to a Loomer podcast but I will read some of her stuff on X. Between Israel and now this on Gabbard I pass her by.
But there’s something more behind all these attacks by Loomer, Owens, Tucker and I know there are more but these are the main ones. It’s gotten to demon level personification.
So why do you keep giving them attention? I have NEVER been able to tolerate a word from Loomer. Saw through Owens a few years ago and Tucker a couple years ago. I simply stopped throwing energy their direction. I can hear of their hateful, twisted output from reputable sources.
I heard a really smart interview today and the guest said the above mentioned quite possibly are simply in the clicks =$ cycle now.
Maybe, they’ve been paid off?
The New Yorker published an article on Loomer and her ties to the president, sort of an ‘enforcer’ …… I think Nov 2025 publish date, interesting read.
The New Yorker published an article on Loomer and her ties to the president, sort of an ‘enforcer’ …… I think Nov 0225 publish date, interesting read.
I wouldn’t believe a word the New Yorker printed.
The only thing I have read from the New Yorker are Pauline Kael film reviews.
Agree!
My 2 parrots crap all over the magazine. They don’t care for it either.
Loomer attacks Tulsi for no reason other than advising the president that what Israel is telling him is not backed up by US intelligence.
Loomer is all Israel, all the time, just like Mark Levin, and it could not be more obvious.
I can understand Loomer attacking Director Gabbard because she is not Israel first but then why do Tucker and the never Israel crowd also attack her?
Don’t forget hannity Levin the entire Fox crew.
And Shapiro and Lindsey Graham.
Hole in your theory…Tucker would never go against Gabbard. Loomer I agree with. Something is way off about her. Candace is a mystery. I think she really believes what she has said and was loyal to her friendship with CK.
Candace is a grifter. She and Charlie were not close friends. He distanced himself from her like six years ago. Charlie told Mark Meckler Candace was mean, crazy and unpredictable. Candace told Dave Rubin she hated Charlie. She’s proving it by going after TPUSA and Erika Kirk. Not to mention Trump and the MAGA movement. I have watched many of her episodes and she has no evidence whatsoever of her evil claims. I used to love Candace, but something happened to her a few years ago and she’s become unreasonable. But I guess Charlie figured that out six years ago.
I guess Charlie and Candace were so far apart that he texted Candace right before he was assassinated. lol according to Grok: according to multiple reports and claims by Candace Owens (with some confirmation from Turning Point USA), Charlie Kirk sent text messages involving her or referencing her in the days immediately before his assassination on September 10, 2025
Is that a wobble in the Eye of Sauron? I am a bit more optimistic than yesterday. I have not had two days of good news like this in years. Wow.
Who are these popular voices?
“Last point, the current “Trump supporters” who try to undermine ODNI Tulsi Gabbard are either: (1) brutally naïve, (2) easily manipulated, or (3) working intentionally to retain the Intelligence Community control system that DNI Gabbard is dutifully deconstructing. A shockingly large number of popular voices are part of group three.”
I wondered about that as soon as I saw it in the post.
Maybe Sundance can throw a little more light on this soon.
I still like and have tremendous respect for Col. Tulsi Gabbard. Fearless and smart. Damn!
In my opinion the best cabinet pick he made. I trust her and that’s saying something. I do not trust-many now from years of experience.
Agree! Gabbard and Ratliff are great patriots!
Ratcliff? Sat back on a report about foreign interference in 2020. Coward .
Absolutely true! As the first AIG ICIG I did exactly that to expose the beasf you describe, and lay it out more fully in my book, to include varied solutions to fix, including an overhaul of the IC, useless CIGIE and Whistleblower Protection Act.
I tried to warn the incoming Trump admin of the op being undertaken by dossier Brennan, Clapper, Comey.
But that “trust” in IC left many looking at me like I had three heads.
Hence my book, as this is the true existential threat to America! The Cognitive War! And my blog, as we continue to lose badly!
Exposing the deep state and their crimes has no teeth in the middle of a pointless war with Iran.
Instead of focusing on the muslim terrorist Biden invited in to our country we are talking about putting troops on the ground in yet another arab country. One terrorist attack during the world cup or America 250 celebrations will result in a democrat landslide IMO.
Justified or not, the timing is horrible and feeds in to the democrat narratives with the mid terms around the corner.
Call me a troll, divider or whatever makes you feel good. But I’m listening to independents and republicans who don’t want their kids coming home in flag wrapped coffins and the return of energy driven inflation.
Better to have them killed here at home by an Iranian nuke and put the remnants in a body bag by the unlucky survivors? How do you know what the possibilities are, and that we are safe if we don’t prevent an attack by the mullahs, who are not sane and are lying anytime their mouth is open.
Should we take Iran down now, or wait until they are nuclear-armed? How, then, do we ever get peace back?
WMD’s again
Good grief
If so….Then explain why you think PT is going along…..especially considering his criticism of Bush and company.
Since you ask, you’re troll, a divider, disingenuous, devotee’ of the uniparty. There, and you know I do feel better.
Devotee’s of the uniparty are the ones who tell me a RINO is better than a democrat. As if there is a difference.
I’d rather hold my nose and vote for Lindsey Graham than a commie democrat… sounds like something I’d expect you to say.
A RINO is really no better than a stinkin’ DemonRat. At least we know what a DemonRat stands for and where his/her loyalty is based.
You are right there is no difference. But we still do have US firsters in the House and a few in the Senate. The goal, although tedious, is to chop out the uniparty as best we can. Better able to make the RINO’s conform then Dems who have turned commie. I suspect even some of the dem policies leave a bad taste in the mouthes of some RINO’s.
“Exposing the deep state and their crimes has no teeth in the middle of a pointless war with Iran.” …?
You seem to touch the ‘Squishy, Moderate’ bases.
Oh, as most people (except you, apparently) know, the vast majority of Iranians are not Arabs.
“pointless war with Iran”. POINTLESS??? Where have you been? Iran is a leading sponsor of terrorism with surrogates like the three “Hs”, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Houthis (and others). Iran aspires to ‘acquire’ a nuclear bomb with the expressed purpose to annihilate Israel, the little satan, and the United States, the big satan. Other than that, I guess they are just fine? NOT! Since 1979 they have been an Islamist state.
“Call me a troll, divider”, no, that is not nearly descriptive enough. I suspect that you are worse than that, a Dimocrat.
Are the Iranians Chinas bitch like Rocket Man?
“One terrorist attack during the world cup or America 250 celebrations will result in a democrat landslide IMO.”
It’s actually the opposite, because Biden and the Democrats are responsible for sleeper cells and or other terrorist elements that seek to do us harm…and everybody but you knows it.
So, how would Trump suffer politically when his mainstay policy is border security, deportations etc.? The political blame would surely fall on the Democrats. Even clueless, No Kings Democrats know that!
Yes War is a big distraction but disagree on going after arrestin the big players in the deep state. Matter of fact it would be the needed distration from the war.
So in other words, the government wants the right to be corrupt without any accountability!

4) part of the Israel lobby that currently are in Trump’s orbit, and want to punish Tulsi for contradicting the Israel supplied intel that was the justification for attacking Iran.
The Israel lobby and neocons have their claws into Trump, and if you cannot see this by now, there is no help for you.
Coincidence is not Correlation is not Causality.
I see you are at “Correlation”, but think that automatically proves Causation. But it doesn’t.
Do you have donation records, at least, to support your point?? See, this is the point at which the “Israel controls Trump” crowd breaks down.
So … Proof of Causality?? Got some?
Let’s hope it’s just a rabbit hole and not a mouse/rat infestation. There are videos of thousands of mice in Australian barns and fields. Steve Irwin and wife had a show in early 2000s or 1990s before he died.
Schumer talks too much. He always gives something away. The “six ways from Sunday” remark is his admission against interest that he knows the IC take revenge on American citizens. That’s something about which Congress needs to do something. Of course they don’t. Then, not to be outdone, he admits that “250 PROGRESSIVE judges” are part of the resistance against a sitting President. In other words, judges who make rulings based on partisan politics (Democrat variety) and policy differences rather than what the Constitution and statutes supporting Constitutional aims of the federal government tell us about what is/is not Constitutional.
That’s more admissions than any of us could ever expect to receive from that bottomless pit of lies called “Congress.”
Rush Limbaugh warned of this Democrat plan 15 years ago. He saw the escalation of fool judges then.
We must stand staunchly beside DNI TulsiGabbard & CIA Director Ratliff no matter what the DEEPSTATE propaganda throws at MSM. We are all in the crosshairs!
Question: Did Schumer have pre-knowledge of the incipient IC attack on President Trump when he gave 6 ways from Sunday “warning”. We know that Obama and Hillary were involved so why not Schumer too.
Best and most honest question I have encountered today.
To what end, and for what purpose?
Too bad someone won’t look past the false narratives and tell PT that if he gets the DOJ to actually start going after the real crooks of consequence then he will see the polls turn.
Go back to DOGE being first implemented. Where it looked like real restructuring of government might happen. Then go back when it was obvious there would be no indictments and the money continues to flow.
If they weren’t going to go after the crooks caught dead to rights, then none of them were gonna be punished. PT has lost many young people because of this.
Of course all of us old MAGA loyalist will continue to support PT’s agenda, But he is gonna have to get the message and take whatever action needed.
I find it extremely odd PT continues to support Bondi publically. i have wondered if this is a way of putting pressure on her because of the negatives, that she must know about and it becomes embarrassing at the least and feels the pressure that something must be done. Or Is it a way to stir up MAGA to be louder in their criticism of her, which gives PT solid groud to let her go and the Senate can not deny the dissent. Who knows It is exhausting.
I hate to say it but the public normies will not care about what is being revealed about Atkinson. Cairamella, and Gurganos “who are they”? It is just too deep into the weeds and quite frankly “boring story” For the public to wake up and pay attention, the corruption has to have elements that affect them or would affect them in their own lives. Or be so outrageous that it screams past the MSM.
DOGE revelations, MN revelations, do that, and the public knows nothing is being done. Revealing major Elites, FBI corruption, CIA corruption targeting PT or the Public,..would get attention. I am glad that Tulsi took this info public but there is much more evidence that she has passed to Blondi that Bondi has buried, that reveals the crimes of some big fish. This is where the real problems lie.
Sundance, it must have been exhaustive to get this far and you have the ear of Tulsi….maybe she can get the ear of the President on other issues that the people want solved, if he wants republicans to vote in 2026. If this corruption remains nothing matters. PT’s agenda is toast.
How do you know “Bondi has ‘buried it'”?
“Corrupt officials control us by manipulating our love of country; so, we must expose them by using their predictable hatred of it against them.”
Brilliant. You are doing the Lord’s work, Sundance.
GBU & GBA!
