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.

The Office of the Inspector General for the DOJ (DOJ-OIG) has outlined an 88-page report on events around the January 6th, 2021, DC protest. The report is AVAILABLE HERE.

FBI Director Chris Wray announced his decision to resign from office one day before the Inspector General report was released. The report shows that 26 FBI Confidential Human Sources (CHSs) were used officially and unofficially during the J6 events. Four entered the Capitol building, another 13 entered the restricted area around the building.

[OIG REPORT HERE]

The report found that no official FBI employees participated in the events, but 26 confidential human sources were used.  The media are jumping on the part about no FBI employees being present in order to call those who view the FBI as facilitating and coordinating the events of J6 as “conspiracy theorists.”  However, the FBI’s use of CHSs is downplayed and dismissed.

A major topline takeaway from the report in general is how much effort the FBI put into investigating the assembly pre J6.   When you read the IG explanation of the CHSs [Page 50 and beyond] you get a really good feel for how the FBI was focused and positioned before the day unfolded.

Many people are discussing who President Trump will appoint to two positions: (1) Director of the National Security Agency (NSA); and (2) The Director of the FBI.  Without actually realizing it, both of these positions are fundamentally tethered.

The NSA Director is the librarian of the Intelligence Community.  The NSA gathers, collects, intercepts and stores the metadata of every electronic transmission, including communication. The Director of the NSA is in charge of that massive responsibility to protect and guard the library.

The FBI Director is the chief customer of that library.  On the domestic investigative side, the intelligence side, and the counterintelligence side of all FBI operations, their access to exploit that metadata has become critical.  The urgency of that need underpins the motive to continue reauthorizing FISA-702. When we remove the pretending, 702 reauthorization means surveillance access without warrants for all American communication.

The Fourth Amendment has been destroyed by legislative permission, and a complete lack of accountability for violations of law.  Americans are no longer “secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures,” and “reasonable cause” warrants are no longer needed.

It should not be too much to ask for an FBI Director who respects the Fourth Amendment. Alas, in the real world of the Patriot Act, pragmatically we are well aware that every sub-silo and contractor within the FBI toolbox has access to this unlimited surveillance library.

Perhaps unbeknownst to most, the people advising President Trump on his next FBI Director also hold a vested interest in making sure the nominated candidates for NSA and FBI will continue to allow exploitation.

I prefer an FBI Director who does not support FISA-702 warrantless searches of U.S. citizen data. Unfortunately, everyone in the orbit of President Trump providing the advice and recommending the candidates, do not hold the same view.  Not a single one.

I have tongue-in-cheek called attention to the unstable mindset of the Ukrainian extremists, frequently in alignment with the “alligator emoji” people, by saying “Slava Ukrani.”  At the end of my purposefully Freudian snark (misnomer I know), it was always the intent to draw attention to the rabid ideological outlook of those who promote World War Reddit.

However, putting aside prior snark, deep inside this unstable and tribal mindset there exists a very real and dangerous proclivity toward violence. Given the nature of how the IC has positioned Iran to be the suspect of any foreign assassination attempt upon President Trump. Personally, I consider that proactive narrative as a deflection from the very real foreign violence threat represented by those who are Ukranian extremists.

In essence, if there was to be any further attempt on the life of President Trump, specifically related to the reports of extremely dangerous weapons (missiles) smuggled into the United States, the most likely nationality of the trigger operators would be Ukraine, not Iran.  The second assassination attempt by a Ukraine sympathizer Ryan Routh only underscores the view.

Under the guise of sympathy toward Ukraine, the UniParty power brokers in Washington DC have made substantial financial deposits toward their endeavors.  Yes, within the U.S-Ukraine relationship there are billions at stake; and it is within that reality the origination of any threat to Donald Trump must be reviewed.

Adding context to this violent outlook, yet another unstable ‘Slava Ukraini’ story surfaces.  Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (Tampa, Florida) received death threats from her democrat opponent, William Braddock, who then fled to the Philippines and was recently captured.

I’m not exactly sure why the second assassination attempt leads Senator Josh Hawley to release a complaint about the systemic issues with the Dept of Homeland Security and U.S. Secret Service, but that appears to be the reasoning he provides.

Why does it take a second attempt to release information to the public that stems from the first attempt?  Seems a little odd to me.

I’m not surprised, I’m just angry.  According to Kevin Rojek, the head of the FBI’s Pittsburgh Field Office leading the investigation into the attempted assassination of President Trump, Matthew Crooks acted alone -no coconspirators- and the FBI has no idea what his motive was.

According to the representative for the “best men” the Federal Bureau of Investigation has, Crooks might have been a leftist or a far-right extremist, they are just not sure.

What the FBI does know is that no one taught or helped Crooks make complicated explosives, and they are sure he acted alone… for some mysterious reason…. that culminated in a bullet passing through the top of President Trump’s right ear.

The pretending that permeates the FBI is infuriating to me. It is almost difficult to write or share this stuff.

WASHINGTON – Six weeks after the assassination attempt against Donald Trump, the FBI still doesn’t know what motivated the shooter.

“Extensive analysis of the subject’s online search history as well as his specific online activity has provided us valuable insight into his mindset, but not a definitive motive,” Kevin Rojek, the head of the FBI’s Pittsburgh Field Office, told reporters Wednesday.

So far, he added, the FBI sees “no definitive ideology … either left-leaning or right-leaning” associated with the shooter, Thomas Crooks.

It started with Senator Lindsey Graham previously saying that perhaps electronic encryption programs needed a legislative ban as an outcome of the Trump assassination attempt.

The “never let a crisis go to waste” narrative continues advancing today with Congressman Mike Waltz.

CHICAGO — Trump rally gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks used encrypted messaging accounts on various platforms located in Belgium, New Zealand and Germany, according to a member of a congressional task force investigating his assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.

Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.), one of 13 lawmakers tapped to serve on the House bipartisan task force, told reporters at a Wednesday press conference at the Trump Hotel Chicago that the “overseas accounts” piqued his suspicion immediately regarding the shooter’s motives.”

“Why does a 19-year-old kid who is a health care aid need encrypted platforms not even based in the United States, but based abroad – where most terrorist organizations know it is harder for our law enforcement to get into?” asked Waltz. (read more)

If you do not choose to give up some private communication tools in order to make the USA a safer place, then you don’t care about the security of President Trump or something.   That’s the rapidly approaching talking point from the professionally republican.

The Deep State loves unilateral transparency where We The People are transparent, and they remain opaque.  Sorry, but look where we are now.  We never should have agreed to start taking off our shoes at the airport.

The video comes to my attention via the Twitter Account of Tony Seruga.  The video appears to capture Thomas Crooks walking through the vendor section of the Butler rally at approximately 4:26pm, about one and a half hours before he began shooting.

If the 4:26pm time is accurate, this is interesting because President Trump was initially scheduled to begin speaking at 5:00pm.

Mass formation psychosis.

Remember when the Australians were putting people into forced quarantine camps for failing to take vaccinations?  Remember when the New Zealanders were arrested for going on a subversive trip to McDonalds and violating their containment zones?  Remember when Americans were arrested for going to playgrounds or parks?  Remember when EU citizens were arrested for not carrying their vaccine passports?

Well… If you remember those examples that factually happened, then you can likely see how this is just another part of the continuum.  WATCH:

There is no such thing as “misinformation” or “disinformation“, there is only information.

You were not born with a brain requiring you to believe everything you are told. You were born with a brain that allows you to process information and formulate opinions using discernment.

There is only INFORMATION. The variables within the information you receive are accuracy or inaccuracy; truth or lies.
