Several people have sent this segment with Steve Bannon to me with various “check this out” notations. I’m just happy a wider audience is starting to realize the problems created by a rogue Central Intelligence Agency.

Steve Bannon draws attention to the CIA lying to Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner during their efforts to organize the Israel/Hamas peace agreement {Backstory Here}. Bannon attributes the wrong CIA information to the Israeli intelligence service commonly known as Mossad.

From this perspective Israel was intentionally trying to stop Team Trump from organizing a Gaza ceasefire and peace agreement, which was also the Israeli motive for bombing Hamas in Doha, Qatar, at the critical moment when Witkoff and Kushner were about to present the framework to Qatar.  WATCH:

BANNON: The CIA briefed Witkoff three times a day, and they LIED TO HIM. They told him Hamas wouldn’t negotiate, pushing Bibi’s line to sabotage peace. That wasn’t bad intel; THAT WAS TREASONOUS DECEPTION. RATCLIFFE SHOULD RESIGN TODAY!! pic.twitter.com/zXIb66NUsv

I’m not sure if purposeful malice from the Israeli intelligence service can be applied to the false CIA information, or if Hanlon’s Razor should be considered. However, it would be super cool if President Trump sent a message on Truth Social saying: “Following the revelations about the CIA getting it wrong, made by the brilliantly honest Steve Witkoff during Mideast peace negotiations, I am asking CIA Director John Ratcliffe to provide an explanation within 48 hours to include who was involved, and how the CIA came to such materially incorrect conclusions. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.”

The point Mr Bannon made about how the U.S. Intelligence Community operatives view DNI Tulsi Gabbard is very accurate; they hate her. We cannot afford to lose Ms Gabbard because she fights.

A fascinating hour-long interview with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner as they outline the backstory to the Israel-Hamas peace agreement in Gaza.

During a segment (prompted below) Witkoff and Kushner are outlining the step-by-step process as they engaged the leaders of Qatar, Turkey and Egypt.  Witkoff reveals how the CIA was briefing them both, multiple times a day, and the briefing itself was exactly the opposite of what Emir of Qatar and Presidents of Turkey and Egypt were telling them.  The CIA intelligence was the exact opposite of reality.  WATCH:

.

What they are describing is EXACTLY why we outlined how ‘outside govt’ emissaries were/are vitally necessary to work around the control agenda of the U.S. Intelligence Community.  This small example is stunning in magnitude when considered around the importance of the moment.

On a positive note, with Witkoff making this stunning public statement, we can now add a major datapoint to President Trump’s reference of NOT TRUSTING the CIA.  Combined with the previous assertions of Marco Rubio and Tulsi Gabbard on essentially the same level of outlook, this example of the CIA getting it wrong (misleading the administration) has long-range ramifications beyond the Hamas example.

With this backdrop for reference, surely now we can have an optimistic sense that President Trump doesn’t trust the CIA intelligence on the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Obviously, readers here are well aware of our research files on former DOJ-NSD head, Mary McCord, and her various tentacles of operations against Donald Trump before and after the 2016 election.

To enhance this ongoing effort, Twitter user “pepesgrandma” shares an email exchange from Mary McCord to the FBI in December of 2020 following the election.

Apparently, Mary McCord was conducting surveillance of an Oathkeeper chat room and sending information to the FBI following the November 2020 election, and in the runup to the January 6, 2021 protest.

This is interesting on a variety of levels, because we have documented Mary McCord working on the Trump-Russia fabrication [FISA warrant], the CIA [Ukraine] impeachment fabrication [as key staff], the January 6th Committee fabrication [again staff], and the Jack Smith fabrication.  Now we see Mary McCord actively setting up the “insurrection narrative” ahead of the J6 protests.

It appears Mrs. McCord then forwarded the email to someone [REDACTED], likely within the J6 Committee or Jack Smith investigation on Sept 24, 2021.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announces the appointment of two officials to oversee key positions within the DNI office.

Jack Dever will serve as the ODNI General Counsel and Chris Fox will serve as the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG). Within the machinery the ICIG and General Counsel (GC) perform critical tasks related to the overall oversight of the intelligence hub.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard welcomes Jack Dever as the Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s (ODNI) General Counsel following U.S. Senate confirmation. As General Counsel, Dever is responsible for providing legal guidance to the ODNI and the Intelligence Community.

“Jack’s commitment to our nation, forged through years of honorable service, continues as he assumes this new role to serve once again. His proven leadership—spanning military service and distinguished roles across the government and private sector—make him an asset to our mission at ODNI. He will serve with the highest standards of integrity, strengthening the security of our country and upholding the Constitution,” said DNI Gabbard. “We are thrilled to welcome Jack to our team.”

“I am honored to serve our great country. I very much appreciate the trust placed in me by President Trump and Director Gabbard and look forward to earning that trust in support of the American people every day,” said Jack Dever, ODNI General Counsel.

The 26-page indictment is available HERE, and reveals the scale of former National Security Advisor John Bolton’s corrupt behavior in the handling of classified information.

The indictment alleges that Bolton leaked classified documents to at least two known individuals who were not authorized to review or retain classified information, including Top Secret Sensitive Compartmented Intelligence.

[SOURCE]

GREENBELT, Maryland — Former national security adviser John Bolton was charged Thursday in an 18-count federal indictment with illegally sending classified information to unauthorized people while he worked at the White House and keeping similar documents at his home after leaving government.

The indictment contends Bolton sent more than 1,000 pages of “diary-like entries” to a pair of unnamed associates on a regular basis while he was handling the nation’s most sensitive military, intelligence and diplomatic matters. Many of the messages contained information designated as classified up to the “Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information” level. (more)

The interesting timing of two stories.

Last week the New York Times noted, “Michael Ellis, the deputy director of the C.I.A., has abruptly demoted a career lawyer who had been serving as the agency’s acting general counsel since January and installed himself in that role, according to people familiar with the matter.  […] It was not clear what was behind Mr. Ellis’s taking personal control of making legal judgments for the agency while continuing to help lead it”… (link)

Today the New York Times is reporting, “The Trump administration has secretly authorized the C.I.A. to conduct covert action in Venezuela, according to U.S. officials, stepping up a campaign against Nicolás Maduro, the country’s authoritarian leader.” […] The agency would be able to take covert action against Mr. Maduro or his government either unilaterally or in conjunction with a larger military operation. It is not known whether the C.I.A. is planning any operations in Venezuela or if the authorities are meant as a contingency.”

[…] “The new authorities, known in intelligence jargon as a presidential finding, were described by multiple U.S. officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the highly classified document.” (link)

It’s all inside baseball, but for those who are watching the effort to rein in the Fourth Branch of government it is also quite interesting.

CIA Deputy Director Michael Ellis (pictured left) has removed the acting CIA general counsel and put himself into the role until President Trump’s nominee Joshua Simmons can be confirmed by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

Deputy Director Ellis, like DNI Tulsi Gabbard is a solid MAGA ally.  Without knowing the reason for his decision to remove the CIA general counsel, the New York Times is not happy.

WASHINGTON DC – Michael Ellis, the deputy director of the C.I.A., has abruptly demoted a career lawyer who had been serving as the agency’s acting general counsel since January and installed himself in that role, according to people familiar with the matter.

[…] It was not clear what was behind Mr. Ellis’s taking personal control of making legal judgments for the agency while continuing to help lead it, but the move raised alarms among some current and former intelligence officials.

[…] The C.I.A. did not specifically address questions about what was behind the move and whether it raised conflict-of-interest issues. But in a statement, a C.I.A. spokeswoman, Liz Lyons, noted that Mr. Trump had nominated a State Department lawyer, Joshua Simmons, for the role. The Senate Intelligence Committee has scheduled a confirmation hearing for him on Wednesday.

“The deputy director is a highly respected national security lawyer and intelligence professional,” Ms. Lyons said. “This temporary arrangement was approved by career agency attorneys while the Senate considers President Trump’s nominee, Josh Simmons, for C.I.A. general counsel.

People in Washington DC are starting to realize the full scale of the Obama surveillance system. All of the evidence and datapoints, those released and those yet to surface, flow in one direction. Even the professionally reluctant are starting to admit.

What Obama, Biden, Comey, Crossfire Hurricane, Robert Mueller, Arctic Frost and Jack Smith were doing, was using their offices -and govt systems- to watch their opposition, spy on them, then take action based on the results.

Friend of the Treehouse John Spiropoulos has put together a series of videos explaining how President Obama, FBI Director James Comey and CIA Director John Brennan constructed a coverup to hide their political surveillance operation. Today, the fourth segment in the series.

Rumble Link – YouTube Link

From the perspective of Obama, Comey and Brennan, expanding Hillary Clinton’s Trump-Russia collusion narrative was the key element to hide the activity of the administration prior to the November 2016 election.  That’s the motive for the FBI and CIA to collaborate on the agenda after the shocking outcome of the 2016 election result; but pay close attention to the activity of the primary “at risk” official, James Comey.

The December ’16 Joint Analysis Report (JAR), and the January ’17 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA), were fabricated to enhance a spying coverup. Spiropoulos has taken the time to put the deconstruction of the ICA into a simple to follow video format.

From a risk management perspective, initially the surveillance and spying operation was a low-risk endeavor.  Obama held power and was going to hand off operations to Hillary. The Clinton administration would retain the officials who were doing the surveillance/spying, and no one would ever know.

Donald Trump was not expected to win the election.  When he did, all of the participants were suddenly at risk. President Obama and every member of his cabinet involved in the spying operations, then used Clinton’s “Russiagate” smear to cover up Obama’s “Spygate” activity.

It is not hyperbole to think the Moldovan election today may possibly determine whether a NATO war with Russia takes place, or whether the NATO desire for conflict slowly begins to dissolve. {GO DEEP}

The small country squeezed between Romania (the largest NATO super-base constructed) and Ukraine, is located in a critical area. Whether Moldova joins the EU, or whether Moldova remains independently free from Brussels influence, is part of the outcome. The Moldova Parliamentary Elections are today.

The EU/NATO are at a zero-sum inflection point. THIS is the tinderbox.

There are roughly 2.5 million registered Moldovan voters living in Moldova. However, the govt of President Maia Sandu and her EU control agents expect 500,000+ votes from outside Moldova to determine the election outcome.

Of the 3,000 poll watchers, 900 members of the international coalition to influence critical elections (aka western intelligence operatives) are currently active in Moldova providing real-time voter feedback.

The non-pretenders will note the intelligence these operatives return helps western IC determine how many mail-in ballots are needed for EU/NATO success to support President Sandu.

There are 300 polling stations opened across 41 countries. Britain hosts 24 stations, Germany 36, Italy 75, and Russia has two.

Voting in Moldova ends at 21:00 local (9pm)/15:00 ET, but mail in ballots will continue flowing. The first preliminary results should become known around 23:00 (11pm local). [5pm Eastern US.]

It is difficult not to notice the strategy of how certain Trump administration officials are targeted.

Any cabinet member that looks inward to reveal the status of corrupt activity within the information silo itself becomes a target. Cabinet officials who focus externally, meaning the majority of their effort looks outside government, are seemingly left alone.

HHS Secretary RFK Jr and Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, are examples of those receiving the worst ideological targeting from operations within HHS and the Intelligence Community respectively.

Conversely, CIA Director John Ratcliffe faces almost no scrutiny or targeting by the Intelligence Community as the silo operators frame narratives almost exclusively against DNI Gabbard.

The latest effort surfaces as embeds within Main Justice and the CIA frame a storyline that Tulsi Gabbard’s action in removing the security clearances of 37 current and former officials, has now resulted in those same officials being incapable of testifying against former CIA Director John Brennan (and others).

The premise of the narrative is ridiculous.  If we are to accept some current or former IC officials are willing to testify against Brennan (or others), regardless of whether Tulsi Gabbard has revoked their security clearances, their retroactive knowledge is still pertinent.  They are completely free to give statements and testimony based on their prior conduct.

What the leakers to Axios and the New York Times are trying to establish, is groundwork for the removal of Tulsi Gabbard. This stops her objective of investigating internal corruption.  I suspect most of the people trying desperately to undermine Gabbard are from within the CIA Directorate of Analysis, or at least in alignment with the directorate’s agenda.
