Before getting into bigger picture analysis and intellectual discussion about FISA and the 702 reauthorizations, let me just reveal some inside DC crap that drives me nuts and at the same time will help y’all understand the nonsense.

First, the Intelligence Community (IC) tells congress, particularly the House and Senate Intelligence Committees, that all hell will break loose if they don’t reauthorize full electronic surveillance of Americans.  Congress is petrified of the IC.

Speaker Johnson and all of the key participants are totally siloed from understanding that 702 has nothing to do with incidental collection of American data whilst the honorable IC were doing foreign intercepts.   Johnson and most Republicans believe the IC nonsense. They really do.

The politicians and their key staff cannot fathom how the FBI, DOJ, NSD, DHS and contractors use this database to conduct political and “other” (think corporate espionage for sale) surveillance.  They really do think the IC is full of honorable rank-and-file.  They are inside a DC bubble.

Second, the IC argument is now something akin to we have let thousands of terrorists into the country through the southern border crisis.  They say:  “My god, we need to monitor the terrorists, and if you take away 702 the foreign terror cells will activate and start killing us all.  Do you want that blood on your hands?”   You cannot take away surveillance tools.

Third, FISA 702 reauthorization is used as a bargaining chip by people who don’t want to get caught up in the surveillance.

I suppose there is a bucket of metaphors in here somewhere.

As tens of pencil cups and plates seemingly fell over from the magnitude 4.8 earthquake in New York earlier of Thursday, it was later revealed that President Trump’s Bedminster Golf Course was the epicenter of the quake.

(New York Post) – […] Trump National Golf Course in Bedminster, New Jersey was at the epicenter of the 4.8-magnitude that rattled the New York City area on Friday.

In a rather seismic turn of events, the New York tri-state area on Friday felt the tremors of its most significant earthquake since 1884, shaking the region with a magnitude of 4.8 and surprising many locals in the process.

But what’s even more surprising? The epicenter’s proximity to Donald Trump’s National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.  The ground-shaking event struck at 10:23 a.m., originating just a stone’s throw away from the luxury golf retreat. (read more)

Hugh Hewitt (Salem Media) is one of the key media control operatives on the right, fully controlled by the multinationals who organize controlled Republican politics, who attempts to manipulate political outcomes through the pressure of his platform.  Why any conservative would appear on the Hugh Hewitt broadcast is beyond my understanding.

In this interview, Hewitt starts shaping the conversation based on the editorial priorities handed to him by his benefactors.  However, that said, President Trump does a great job cutting through the majority of the Hewitt bait & shaping and he finds a way to explain his message despite Hewitt’s interventions.  WATCH:

Hugh Hewitt, on behalf of the corporations and banking interests who organize their insurance policies, would love to influence the vice presidential selection.

Thank you to all readers and members of the Conservative Treehouse fellowship for your continued support.  Without your help, this little corner of research and discussion on the internet just could not exist. I will always work earnestly to be deserving of that support and fellowship.

Unfortunately, on an almost exact timeline as previously outlined (maximum 2024 election interference planned), Google and Big Tech have shifted approaches exactly as we predicted they would by mid-April.

They have been unable to take down The Conservative Treehouse over platform content, so they shifted strategies with the spider crawling.   We are now under attack by Google Inc. for comments made by you.  [see example below]:

You can tell from the flagged notes and highlighted search terms, the spider crawl was given specific phrases to search out.  Apparently, Eliot Ness provided them on March 23rd.

This comment by Eliot Ness is being used by Google Inc. to outline a violation of terms of service, and Ness’s threats to violence reported to DHS for operational CTH targeting therein.   Note, it is not the content of CTH that is the problem; comments are now the source of infractions that can lead to CTH deplatforming.

You do not need to be a deep weeds thinker to see the issue here.  After years of unsuccessfully targeting our research directly, the Google overlords are now targeting us based on reader content.  They are turning  fellowship into a vulnerability.  I am furious and working earnestly to develop a solution.

Obviously, the above comment was deleted and removed, but the shift should explain why so many websites have dropped the comment system completely.

We need your help.

During this interview with Dan Ball, Representative Matt Gaetz explains why he cannot support the effort by Marjorie Taylor Greene to vacate the chair and remove Speaker Mike Johnson. {Direct Rumble Link}

As outlined by Gaetz, there are two or three specific republicans, former democrats, who will vote to support Hakeem Jeffries if the opportunity arises.  With all of the exits from the GOP House team noted, it will be a struggle to keep the house in republican control in 2025 even with a resounding victory by President Trump.  WATCH:

According to those in political circles who are instructed by the intelligence community, funding for Ukraine is the highest national priority.  As an outcome we see all the DC politicians and beltway pundits pushing the same story, funding for Ukraine is the highest priority.

The key politicians within the dynamic exist inside information silos, essentially control mechanisms, where the intelligence community (IC) constructs reality by briefing the politicians about what is going on in the world.  The IC tells the politicians what is happening, defines the importance and instructs the politicians on the priorities.  The IC is never challenged because ultimately the IC has “seven ways to Sunday” to target the politicians if any non-compliance is identified.

Speaker Mike Johnson is one of the “gang-of-eight” members within the legislative branch.  The Go8 are briefed and controlled by the IC, using the exact same intelligence given to the President.  Speaker Johnson has the funding of Ukraine as his top priority, because the IC officials who set priorities have told him it must be.  WATCH (prompted):

(Via Fox News) – […] “When we return after this period, we’ll be moving a product. But it’s going to, I think, have some important innovations,” Johnson told Fox News’ “Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy.”

Both the House and Senate are currently on the second week of a two-week recess, when lawmakers are working in their home districts. The House is back on Tuesday, April 9.

President Trump delivered remarks and took questions from the narrative engineers following a day in court defending against another Lawfare case.

Each case is intended to bleed the candidate of financial resources, overwhelm the psyche of his supporters and keep the target under attack.  Sound familiar? It should.  This is Alinsky tactics right from the rulebook, Rules for Radicals.  Isolate, ridicule, marginalize.

Rule #13  “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.”

Do you see it now? WATCH:

The United States Intelligence Community (USIC) has claimed that ISIS-K is behind the terrorist attack in Moscow.  Florida Senator Marco Rubio affirmed his agreement with that assessment during an appearance on ABC’s This Week with Jonathan Karl.

Other than the larger issue of Islamic jihadists carrying hatred for the renewed Christian values, as expressed by Russian President Vladimir Putin – which, conveniently can be considered a cover for those who may have organized an attack under the auspices of Islamic jihad – there are no datapoints in the known fact-pattern that align with ISIS-K as the originator.  Additionally, the four suspects were captured by mostly Muslim Chechan security forces in the Bryansk Region of Russia.

That said, the largest datapoint, pointing away from the ISIS-K origin, is the USIC so quickly identifying ISIS-K as the perpetrators.

Remember, this is the same USIC who claimed in the December 2016 Joint Analysis Report on the election that Russia had interfered (via Greezy Bear and Macadonian bot farms).  The same USIC who claimed in their January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, with a “high degree of confidence,” that Russia influenced the 2016 election (by spending $1,300 on FaceBook ads).  And the same USIC that claimed the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation (it wasn’t).  So, take SSCI Marco Rubio’s confidence in the USIC with that backdrop.  WATCH:

It’s really not a matter of if Republican senators will leave the party in the lame duck session after a President Trump win in November; the question is: how many?

The predictability of the issue is actually quite simple.  {GO DEEP}  Almost all senators kneel at the altar of money, nothing else.  The GOPe senators will exhaust every weapon in their arsenal on behalf of their multinational financial benefactors, prior to the November 2024 election.  Once those narrative attack weapons are exhausted, they will take the deal and quit the party in their final political effort to retain affluence.

Accepting this reality, I asked the question a few weeks ago.  The largest number of respondents said 1 to 3 senators will resign the party.

Lisa Murkowski switching parties is a no brainer. Susan Collins and Todd Young are two more possibilities. Mitt Romney has already announced he is leaving. Mitch McConnell has already announced he is stepping down from leadership and will not seek another term. A tenuous John Thune will only remain if he replaces McConnell. …. and so it goes.

I would bet on THREE Republican senators who will switch parties, but it could easily be more.

One thing is certain, those who do not switch/exit will remain as DeceptiCons and oppose: (a) any effort to confront the intelligence community they support; and (b) all Trump nominations, foreign or domestic policy, that threaten their place at the trough.
