Today at 10:00am EST, CIA Director nominee John Ratcliffe will appear before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to answer questions about his nomination.  Ratcliffe has numerous allies in the Intelligence Community including Chairman Tom Cotton and Vice-Chair Mark Warner. Resistance level, very low.

John Ratcliffe, a former Texas congressman who served as the director of national intelligence for President Trump in the first term, is now tasked with leading the second most prestigious and capable intelligence agencies in the world. As CIA Director Mr. Ratcliffe would have an influential position on matters of national intelligence and would likely not lie to President Trump unless it was necessary to retain the integrity of the silo he leads.

Confirming earlier reports, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) member, Senator James Lankford, appears on Meet the Press to confirm that Tulsi Gabbard’s change in position on FISA-702 now gains his supportive vote.  Senator Lankford will support Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence.  (WATCH – prompted 1:03):

.

Senator Lankford flat out lies in his response when he says, “702 has nothing to do with American citizens.” That is a lie.  The very element “702” only pertains to an American citizen, no one else.   Foreign persons do not have constitutional protections, only American citizens do.  The FISA-702 statute is specifically designated for Americans who are “inadvertently captured” during foreign intelligence intercepts.

[Also, notice how every Sunday interview begins with a media demand that California be financially supported by congress.  They never did that for Western North Carolina.]

Despite my reservations about Mike Waltz, this is the best approach.

During an interview with Breitbart News, incoming National Security Advisor Mike Waltz says the entire National Security Council is going to be removed from position and new staff assigned to the NSC. Every member is expected by the Trump administration to willingly resign at 12:01pm on inauguration day.

This is very much needed because the NSC is a petri dish for political manipulation of intelligence and policy depending on the ideological alignment with the NSC member. We have talked about this issue at length. The various silos of the DC intelligence and policy institutions send and embed ideologues in the NSC to represent their interests. The only way to deal with it correctly is to remove all of them and vet their replacements.

BREITBART NEWS – […] The way the NSC works is the National Security Advisor oversees a team of political appointees from the president who oversee a wide range of what are called “detailees”—people who work at the various agencies and departments across the federal government who are assigned, or detailed, to work at the White House for a period of time on the NSC in a portfolio in which they demonstrate expertise.

These career intelligence officials come from places as wide-ranging as the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, the Pentagon, and other law enforcement and intelligence agencies, and report up to the political appointees atop each major portfolio in the NSC.

The NSC has various issue-specific portfolios like counterterrorism and cyber policy as well as regional portfolios focused on things like the western hemisphere or the Middle East or Europe or Asia. The detailees then help coordinate back to the various agencies and departments so the whole federal government executes on the decisions that the president makes.

… “[T]he folks that we’re bringing in are 100 percent aligned with the president’s agenda. Hell, the entire world seems to be aligned with his agenda if you just look at the outreach from world leaders and everybody who wants to come to Mar-a-Lago. So, there’s a little bit of a difference in that everybody was reflexively just against him [the first time] just for the sake of it and the Trump Derangement Syndrome was out of control in 2017.

We knew something was coming when we saw the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) was essentially blaming Tulsi Gabbard for not submitting her question survey to the SSCI for the slow schedule for her confirmation, while at the same time the SSCI had never sent Gabbard the questionnaire for her to complete.

Now the SSCI slow-walking starts to make sense.

Politico is out with an article, a direct attack against Tulsi Gabbard using a very specific narrative engineer, Mouaz Moustafa. [SEE HERE] We know the backstory of Moustafa, so we know exactly what is happening.

Mouaz Moustafa is an operative on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood (political Islam).  Moustafa is in the sphere of influence where former Senator John McCain, Adam Kinzinger and CIA operative Evan McMullin worked.  Moustafa supports the elements of radical Islam represented by various factions of extremism that fall under the umbrella of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Essentially in alignment with Turkish President Recep Erdogan and playing the role of a friendly voice for western interests, Mouaz Moustafa is the bridge between the West and radical, albeit political, Islam.  Where the U.S. provides money and resources for groups of jihadists within al-Qaeda, al-Nusra, ISIS etc, is where you will find Moustafa under the auspices of the Syrian Emergency Task Force.

Morgan Ortagus is a very special kind of obvious Intelligence Community asset who always eats in the kitchen of the State Dept Restuarant.  Ortagus reeks of tradecraft when you are around her. A convert to Judaism having married Jonathan Weinberger (2013), another dual passport holding IC asset (foreign govt) and former vice president of the Center for Global Innovation Policy, Mrs Ortagus is deeply entrenched with the Israeli intelligence community and political lobby.

Those IC credentials (specifically USAID/CIA) are what brought Morgan Ortagus to be spokesperson for the U.S. State Dept under the tutelage and alignment with former CIA Director turned Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.  This is the deep kitchen crew; DEEP, as in VERY DEEP.

Without any doubt whatsoever, this appointment was demanded by President Trump’s Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio, deep state and AIPAC Senate control agent, Lindsey Graham, some very key and influential donors connected to AIPAC, and the one figure that I predict will be first dispatched by President Trump, national security adviser Mike Waltz.  This aforementioned crew all hold an agenda to support those who eat in the kitchen.

President Trump likely cannot call out the kitchen diners without seriously disturbing the network that keeps the Deep State operating. Instead, he references them by saying, “These things usually don’t work out, but she has strong Republican support, and I’m not doing this for me, I’m doing it for them. Let’s see what happens.”  Where “strong Republican support” means the elected officials, majority funded by AIPAC.

A remarkable statement to witness within the announcement; literally jaw-dropping when you know specifically what President Trump is inferring.

In the nation of Moldova, the left bank of the Dniester (Nistru) River is home to 360,000 citizens in the Russia-controlled region of Transnistria. To the right side of the dividing line made by the Dniester is the western/EU allied side of Moldova.

The Russian energy company, Gazprom, provides gas to Transnistria through Ukraine. The gas is subsidized by Russia, so the Russian-allied citizens of Transnistria do not pay market prices; in fact, the gas is provided free. However, the gas into Transnistria is also used to power the Moldavskaya GRES power plant, which generates electricity for both banks of the Dniester. In essence, the “free” Russian gas is provided to both the pro-Russia and anti-Russia elements in the region.

The contract for the transit of Russian gas into Transnistria through Ukraine’s territory expires on January 1, 2025. Despite the war between Russia and Ukraine, gas transit and the contract signed in 2019 have continued. However, Ukraine under Zelenskyy has repeatedly said they do not plan to extend the gas transit agreement with Gazprom. This is a way for Zelenskyy, technically NATO, to create anxiety and crisis in the region.

The western aligned government of Moldova have been demanding that Russia withdraw all military and influence from the Transnistria region, meanwhile the Transnistria local governing officials are requesting Moscow to keep the flow of Russian gas ongoing. Observers have noted, “It looks stupid to ask for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Transnistria and meanwhile request Russia to continue to give free gas to the region.”

John Thune has announced the new Senate Republican Committee Chairs and Members. [WEBSITE]

Within the announcement, the Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence is Senator Tom Cotton.  This puts Senator Cotton together with Democrat Vice-Chair Mark Warner.  This appointment also puts Tom Cotton on the Intelligence Community “Gang of Eight.”

A position within the Gang of Eight comes as a result of holding one of the following eight positions: 1. The Speaker of the House, 2. The Minority Leader of the House, 3. the Majority Leader of the Senate, 4. the Minority Leader of the Senate, 5. the Chairperson of the House Permanent Committee on Intelligence, 6. the minority leader from the same committee; 7. The Chairperson of the Senate Intelligence Committee and 8. the minority leader of the same committee.

In March of 2016 an exclusive list of politicians, top tech executives, billionaires, donors and influence agents gathered at a secretive meeting with key leaders of the Washington DC UniParty.  The meeting was to discuss their plans to destroy Donald Trump.  The meeting took place at the exclusive enclave in Sea Island Georgia.

Over time, almost every single member of the Sea Island Group who attended that weekend meeting have detonated themselves in an effort to try and take down President Trump.  Just as the axiom ‘never trust a never Trumper’ has been proven true repeatedly, so too is the sentiment ‘just wait, if they attended Sea Island, they will eventually expose their intent to destroy Trump.’  [READ HERE]  Senator Tom Cotton was an attendee!

Interesting discussion between Tucker Carlson and Jeffrey Sachs on the current state of geopolitical fluctuations and seemingly chaotic changes.

Mr. Sachs points to Israel and AIPAC as the originating control mechanism for U.S. foreign policy. Here I must insert my prior metaphor for the U.S State Dept and the CIA [The DC Restuarant]. According to Sachs much of the activity from within the State Dept is in alignment with the objectives of those who dine in the kitchen.

I do not necessarily disagree…. However, once you understand this dynamic; I mean really understand the complexity of the dynamic and how it represents a challenge to anyone who would seek to change policy direction; then you can find context for how President Donald Trump is organizing his foreign policy mission.

President Trump is circumventing the control mechanisms of the U.S. State Department –SEE HERE– And with that context, things take on an entire new perspective about the issues Sachs is describing.

While he accurately defines the problem, I’m not sure Sachs is seeing what President Trump is doing to cut the gordian knot {I’ll reexplain below}.

Incoming national security adviser Michael Waltz talks to Face the Nation with dramatic acting Margaret Brennan.  The first part of the interview discusses drones, fears and “gaps in our security” according to Waltz.

Within the interview Brennan questions Waltz about Hungarian leader Viktor Orbán personally meeting with President Trump and carrying a potential message from Russian President Vladimir Putin.  Waltz notes that Orban “clearly has a good relationship” with President Trump and that will be key to ending the war in Ukraine.  WATCH:

As National Security Advisor, Waltz likely won’t last a year.  “Gaps in our capabilities,” is DC intel codespeak for more rules, regulations, control mechanisms and anti-freedom national security legislation is needed.

My Spidey sense indicates a CNN gig in his future.  Waltz just gives off that ‘he will believe everything the IC tells him’ vibe.

President Donald Trump has revealed something very important to those who fully understand the nature and construct of the DC Silo system. An outside government “Intelligence Advisory Board,” perhaps the ultimate cross-silo information system.

[SOURCE]

The approach of an Intelligence Advisory Board has the possibility to fracture the mechanism used by the DC Intelligence Community to isolate the president.

Within the various intel agencies, they use a process of building silos of information that are not shared outside the origination agency unless certain rules are followed.  This is a mechanism to retain control.

One of these control mechanisms is found in the classification process.  Each agency (colloquially called a ‘stakeholder’) has unilateral control over their unique contribution to a collective document or intelligence product.  Unless every stakeholder agrees to the declassification, the intel product is withheld and remains “siloed”.  That’s just one example, there are hundreds more.
