CNN claims that Pulte fired 6 of Tulsi Gabbards appointees. Is this true?
https://lite.cnn.com/2026/06/23/politics/pulte-fires-political-appointees-career-officials
WTF?
CNN? Really?
That is how you address a question? Really?
Please don’t pollute this great site.
I suspect we won’t know the names of those fired or returned to their home agencies unless any of them try to sue for being fired without due cause or whatever is in their employment contracts, then pretty easy to assume whoever does sue are deep state actors trying to hang onto their position.
On addressing the source of the story, one time I posted a link to an article and our host, himself, gave me grief over the source – so had to grin and take it, and then decided that it was better to look at various sources before posting because that is, given how widely the press lies these days, lazy to not look for actual source material which
in itself, is a good reminder that simply copying and pasting because it feeds our own personal bias doesn’t move us closer to the goal of repairing our republic.
I heard the same.
Maybe she recommended this to Pulte, or someone knew something about them that raised alarm bells.
Need some names and background …. there is the story of the blind man and cookies.
A blind man was crossing a street with the help of his service dog. The dog goofed and the blind man was almost hit by a car. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a dog treat … somebody asked … how can you treat your dog after almost getting hit by a car? As the dog took the treat, the blind man said I just need to know which end to kick.
Tulsi possibly put the 6-fired DNI employees in a position (the cookie) where they could be fired by the ODNI (kicking the right end) and not simply returned to their home agencies as the other 45, who are protected by their home agencies. Let’s see how this claim unfolds.
See Sundances post. It is likely 6 from the CIA NIC Tulsi moved from CIA to ODNI control.
Excerpt:
“So, who was removed? Well, I’m certainly not the Nostradamus of USIC, but if I were to hazard an educated guess it looks like the National Intelligence Council – Directorate of Analysis, just lost six political staff, and 45 people from the various liaison desks were ‘sent back to their home agencies.’
As we noted last year, Tulsi Gabbard took the National Intelligence Council (NIC) out of the CIA – fired the heads, then putting the assembly back under the control of the ODNI. However, highly political operatives within the former CIA-controlled Directorate of Analysis (the former home of Eric Ciarmella) were still problematic. It looks like Director Pulte just eliminated the remaining DoA rats.”
A lot of people are down on Bannon, but he is right on this. US cities are targets for a takeover by well organized Marxist Jihadists and their useful idiot supporters. What happened in New York yesterday should be setting red alerts for traditional American citizens. It has to be met with overwhelming opposition
You are more than right…good vision and understanding!
Wonder if we will ever find out by President Trump fired Mr. Bannon. Bet it was a real doozy of a reason.
Leaking to the press.
Thanks; have wondered about that.
Make it unlawful for any foreign gov’t to lobby (bribe) politicians.
Make it unlawful for any foreign gov’t to donate to political campaigns or PACs.
Wouldn’t be the first time…
“Israeli defense researcher Beni Sabti said the U.S. might need to suffer through an attack to renew U.S. support for Israel and remind Americans who their allies are in an X post on Saturday.
“Maybe USA needs another Pearl Harbor or 9/11 to remember who is the enemy and who is the friend,” Sabti wrote on X.”

The Arabs certainly have not failed to notice who was fighting on their behalf against the Iranian regime.
If you reflexively assume that “Israel is the enemy,” look again.
Really fascinating substack on the inability of people to admit they are wrong–https://behindthenarrative7.substack.com/p/people-would-rather-die-than-be-wrong
With the “republicans” aided by so called conservative media outlets (Brietbart, Newsmax and Just the News) and pundits openly trying to repeat the 2018 Midterm Election Outcome or worse … President Trump has no option but to hold up election impacting legislation … i.e. the current Housing Bil.
One may ask … what is the downside for “republicans” opposing the President if the “republicans” loose seats during the midterms, as that is the plan.
Remember the key paradigms:
Democrats want money to gain power.
Republicans want power to gain money.
The puppet masters need a balance need a hostile balance of power between the wings of the Uni-Party Vulture to keep the fascist democrats from overwhelming the Puppet Masters and lining them up against the wall with the “republicans”.
Thus enough “republicans” have to win for paradigms 2 and especially 3 to hold. It may be the only major leverage remaining at this point for the President.
