Everything that preceded the 2020 federal election was a complex system of control by a network of ideologues, federal agencies, allies in the private sector, financial stakeholders and corrupt interests all working toward a common goal.

There’s no need to go through the background of how the election was manipulated and how the government and private sector, specifically social media, worked to influence the 2020 outcome because you have all seen it.

Whether it was local election officials working to control outcomes, federal agencies working to support them (CISA, FBI, DHS), financial interests working to fund them (Zuckerberg et al), or social media platforms controlling the visible content and discussion (Twitter Files, Google, Facebook etc.), the objective was all the same.  It was a massive one-sided operation against the free will of the American voter.

In the aftermath of the 2020 election, those same system operators, govt officials, corporate media, private sector groups and social media platforms then circled the wagons to scatter the evidence of their conduct.  If you questioned anything, you were a threat.  That’s the context to the dynamic that unfolded.

Lawfare operatives joined forces with Democrat staffers, and allies in social media platforms all worked in concert to target the voices of anyone who would rise in opposition to the corruption that was stunningly clear in the outcome of the election process.  Corporate media then labeled, isolated, ridiculed and marginalized anyone who dared to point out the obvious.

When AG Merrick Garland says this of January 6, 2021: […] “the Justice Department has conducted one of the largest, most complex, and most resource-intensive investigations in our history. We have worked to analyze massive amounts of physical and digital data. We have recovered devices, decrypted electronic messages, triangulated phones, and pored through tens of thousands of hours of video. We have also benefited from tens of thousands of tips we received from the public. Following these digital and physical footprints, we were able to identify hundreds of people.” {link} The targeting operation needs context.

Do you remember on April 27, 2024, when DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz said, “more than 3.4 million search queries into the NSA database took place between Dec. 1st, 2020 and Nov. 30th, 2021, by government officials and/or contractors working on behalf of the federal government.”  The result was “more than 1 million searches of private documents and communication of Americans that were illegal and non-compliant,” and over “10,000 federal employees have access to that database.” {OIG Testimony}.

Put the statement from Garland together with the statement from Horowitz, and you get an understanding of what was done.

Hundreds of stakeholders in the Lawfare network joined forces with hundreds of people who became staff researchers for a weaponized Congress.  Hundreds more social media background agents then poured thousands of hours into feeding private information to the DOJ, FBI, J6 Committee and all of their hired staff working on the project.

How do I know?…

…I was one of their targets.

There’s a reason why the J6 Committee deleted the records of their activity, an angle missed by most.  When you understand what they hid and why they did it, you then understand why current Speaker of The House Mike Johnson will not go near the subject.

The J6 Committee used interfaces with the NSA database and pre-existing portals with aligned DHS Social Media databases (including Twitter, see prior “Twitter Files”), as research and evidence gathering mechanisms for their investigations.

The J6 targets were identified through a collaboration between the legislative research group and the FBI. [That’s unlawful by the way – but that’s another matter]. The FBI contracted Palantir to identify the targets using facial recognition software and private sector databases.

Once identified, the targets were then searched in the NSA database for a fulsome context of identity. All subsequent electronic metadata of the targets was retrieved and utilized in prosecution; however, no one ever discovered this was the collaborative method. That has not come out yet.

Ultimately, the J6 Committee hiding and deleting their files and operational techniques was due to several issues. They really didn’t have a choice given the unknowns of an incoming republican majority.

SSCI Vice Chairman Mark Warner is not happy the Trump administration is subverting the oversight authorities of the SSCI and Gang-of-Eight.  If you know the background of the SSCI and Warner, his frustration is a positive indication.

I’ll have much more to say about the ramifications of his anxiety and the background therein, but here’s the raw interview as broadcast for context of what will follow.

Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chairman, Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, told “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” that the committee was not briefed ahead of President Trump’s deadly Venezuelan boat strike that was allegedly carrying drugs. The mission was a military operation, but Warner said, “This kind of action should be briefed to the intelligence community.”  WATCH:

Something odd is going on with this.  Catherine Herridge reports that she “exclusively” gained a copy of the FBI files on Michael Flynn from FBI Director Kash Patel [SEE HERE].  Herridge uploaded the documents while she began reporting on them via Twitter [SEE HERE] then, mysteriously deleted her upload [SEE HERE].

Fortunately, I kept the tab open, because there are two pages that really caught my eye.  The pages are labeled the “Flynn Timeline” and were created by someone in the FBI.   Check these pages closely, and you can find things quite remarkable.

First, I have always suspected the greatest likelihood of who leaked the transcript of then National Security Advisor Michael Flynn’s December ’16 phone call with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Kislyak to David Ignatius at the Washington Post was Mary McCord.   Well, check out January 6, 2017:

01/06/17: “McCabe provides McCord [REDACTED]” Likely, almost certainly, the thing being discussed with DNI Clapper on 01/03/17.  That would be the “Flynn Cuts,” which is the transcript of the phone call between Flynn and Kislyak.

The next entry is:

01/13/07: “Ignatius editorial” – Washington Post, David Ignatius – the reporter who received the leak of the Flynn transcript.  A massive national security breach.  The leaking of TSCI classified information, the Flynn transcript.

McCabe gives the transcript to McCord.  Suddenly, Ignatius writes about the transcript. The Washington Post’s David Ignatius was the first to report on the Flynn/Kislyak call on January 12, 2017.

Stuff about Clapper calling Comey then going to the FBI I previously wrote about.  Obama asked Clapper who was leaking all this stuff to the media. 01/03/17 Clapper calls Comey and asks him about the Flynn call.  “Director describes” transcript to Clapper.  01/03/17, Clapper goes to FBI to retrieve transcript, which he then takes back to Obama.

Lt General William Joseph “Joe” Hartman is a University of Southern Alabama graduate (class of ’89).  Hartman had served as the deputy commander of U.S. Cyber Command, and previously served as commander of the Cyber National Mission Force. Before that, he served in various infantry, intelligence and cyber operations military roles in the U.S., Germany, South Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan and other locations.

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump is expected to nominate Lt. Gen. William Hartman, the acting leader of both the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command, to formally lead both agencies, two people with knowledge of the situation told POLITICO on Thursday.

Hartman has the support of top officials at the White House, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Defense Department, according to one of the people. Both individuals were granted anonymity as they were not authorized to speak publicly.

**BUMPED** How is it that an insignificant corner of the internet could predict the removal of the U.S. National Security Advisor, specifically as the first administration official to be removed, more than two months before Donald Trump was sworn in as President on January 20, 2025?

To understand the complexity of the intelligence information flow, consider:

The silo system is made up, in part, of: The National Security Council (10+ desks, 15 staff/analysts per), the National Security Advisor to the Office of the President, the Dept of Justice National Security Division [DOJ-NSD (foreign review section, counterintelligence export control section, cyber section, counterterrorism section)], Central Intelligence Agency [(CIA), National Intelligence Council, Directorate of Analysis], Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI (Counterintelligence, Counterterrorism, WMD Directorate, Directorate of Intelligence, Cyber)], the Office of the Director of National Intelligence [ODNI (Requirements, Analysis, Collection, National Counterterrorism Center, Mission Managers)], the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the Dept of Defense [DoD, (Nuclear, Chemical, Biological, Industrial, International)], the National Security Agency [NSA (Operations, Technology, Cyber], and many more.

Each agency/office a silo, with distinct sub-silos, each with equity stakes in the information they gather, review and analyze; ultimately attributing classification level and intersecting analysis with each other agency as mission aligned.

Sound ridiculous?  It probably is, yet we’ve merely scratched the surface of the networks and information flows that swirl around the Office of the President.

How does President Trump frame his world view?  Who organizes the information that is prioritized to reach his desk?

It is very easy to say, “President Trump has to know about (fill_in_blank),” without contemplating the process by which President Trump would know about (fill_in_blank).  The recent remarks by President Trump, surrounding COVID-19 vaccine efficacy, should put a spotlight on this consequential dynamic.

Shortly after the video was released, the ODNI released the transcript. Ultimately one of the big questions surrounding Mrs. Gabbard in the role of Director of National Intelligence, is motive. Is she genuinely willing to confront the unconstitutional construct of the intelligence branch?

We can never truly understand what lies in the heart; intent is a very challenging aspect to discern, because the best intentions of people can often be impacted by the severity of the opposition they face. However, we can gauge the best likelihood for resolve based on the expressed intentions as the battle plans are developed.

[TRANSCRIPT] – “It’s so great to be able to join all of you here today. This is an event I am grateful to have been invited to, year after year, the scheduling just never worked out. So, I’m so glad to be able to come and to be able to greet you in person and just talk a little bit about the grave challenges that we face.

Yes, in the work that we’re doing on a daily basis, it’s very appropriate that I’m following Mike Benz in this, because he’s focused on a lot of the same things that we are focused on investigating and uncovering. But really, the challenges that he is talking about are challenges that every one of us as Americans are facing. And the task is not just for a Mike Benz or for a certain agency to take on.

This is a moment of opportunity in our country where we have to be very clear-eyed about the direct threats and challenges to our fundamental rights and liberties, and freedoms, and what we, the people, are going to do about it.

When we look at how it came to be for me and for others who I serve alongside to be here and to be a part of this change, we go back to the 2024 election and look at how President Trump was reelected and sent back to the White House by a truly unique cross-partisan coalition of Americans who looked beyond labels, and really were attracted to his message of putting the American people first.

It was a resounding statement in his win of that election by a significant and historic margin, and it was a clear rejection of the status quo of the Washington elite, of political leaders who put their own self-interest ahead of the interests of the American people. And it was a demand for a government of, by, and for the people.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard delivered a speech at the National Conservatism Conference in Washington, D.C. where she gave specific citations for previous weaponization of intelligence.

DNI Gabbard walks through a timeline of intelligence manipulation, and points to the system within Washington DC that supports the manipulation because it bolsters a political agenda. Gabbard notes that exposing the truth is the ultimate countermeasure to reveal the deception and stop the false constructs.  WATCH:

Due to the venue and audio, the speech has an echo.  However, I would request those who are pondering the intent of Tulsi Gabbard to stay with it and listen carefully to how she outlines the importance of the current objective.  The bill of rights must be defended, she says…. and she is deliberate in understanding the big picture implications.

Twice the Trump DOJ has asked the courts to permit the release of names associated with the case against Jeffrey Epstein and the victims of sex trafficking therein.  Twice the courts have denied the Trump administration the ability to release the sealed Grand Jury records.  [August 20th] and [July 23rd]

Most of the various victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation have previously been paid victim compensation amid various lawsuits including a substantial $290 million financial settlement from JPMorgan Bank in 2023, one of the financial institutions used by Epstein. These lawsuits resulted in what has been reported as ‘various non-disclosure agreements’ (NDAs), which the victims signed.

After the DOJ and congress has released all of the available files, and with various courts refusing to break the seals on names and files within grand jury records, and against the background of multiple victims receiving considerable previous compensation, a group of Epstein victims held a press conference in Washington, DC today demanding the sealed names and NDA covered names be released.

The victims would not, most likely because they legally cannot, discuss the names; but they did say they would compile another private list of names of the people to whom they were trafficked.  What the purpose of that private list would be is unknown.  The entire thing now seems really weird.  WATCH:

Some have claimed a comprehensive list of the names in grand jury files or prior lawsuits would include Donald Trump.  However, it seems ridiculous to make that assertion given the profile of President Trump in 2016 and 2024.

If there was any risk to President Trump, the Clinton campaign would have exploited that vulnerability during the height of the MeToo movement in 2016.  Assuredly, even without Clinton, the Kamala Harris campaign would have used that narrative in 2024. Neither political opposition effort ever engaged in such a claim.
