… The Intelligence Community and Big Corporate Interests Control Government.  That’s the inescapable conclusion for anyone who watched the grand pantomimes being displayed in the past 24 hours.

There’s a debate amid the newly awakened and many who do not want to believe it; but there is no denying that Trump 2.0 is revealing even more layers of how far astray the Republic has gone.

Institutional Democrats hate Trump, and institutional Republicans are lukewarm, at best, in defending Trump.  Both wings of the DC UniParty fear Trump.  Extreme efforts at control are always a reaction to fear.  I make my case not on supposition, but on empirical reference points that most should understand.

Within the politics of it, the DNC wants power. The RNC wants money. The DNC uses money to get power. The RNC uses power to get money. The ideology of the DNC drives their donor activity. The donor activity of the RNC drives their ideology. This is the only current difference between the two clubs, two wings of the same vulture.

Multinational corporations do not like capitalism because within the process of capitalism they do not have control over the financial outcomes.  Capitalism breeds competition: multinationals abhor competition, they are totalitarian in ideology and want the entire pie under their control.  Multinational corporations do not like capitalism; underline it, emphasize it, do not forget it.

The CIA and Intelligence Community working together with Silicon Valley tech teams to develop best in class AI systems, using references from prior nuclear weapon development, “The Manhattan Project.”  Huh, what could possibly go wrong. {GO DEEP}

BREITBART – CIA Director John Ratcliffe told Breitbart News last week that President Donald Trump’s administration is considering creating a national laboratory akin to the Manhattan Project to help develop and steer the future of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

“When you talk about AI, one of the things I want to explore is whether we can expand and establish a national laboratory for the development of AI to help the U.S. government leverage emerging technology to make sure American leadership is that,” Ratcliffe told Breitbart News in his first interview as CIA director last week.

[…] Ratcliffe explained the idea for national laboratories dates back to the Manhattan Project, where the U.S. government helped scientists develop nuclear weapons that won World War II for the United States and allied nations. He said the recent announcement from Trump of “Project Stargate,” the half-trillion-dollar initiative to promote AI, could be expanded upon to include more public-private partnerships akin to the Manhattan Project that get the U.S. out in front of the nation’s adversaries on AI.

There are three big Senate confirmation hearings this week, starting with HHS nominee RFK Jr on Wednesday, and then DNI nominee Tulsi Gabbard and FBI nominee Kash Patel on Thursday.

Robert F Kennedy Jr will have two days in front of two different committees (Wed and Thursday).  Gabbard will have her Senate Intel Committee hearing and Kash Patel will have his hearing with the Senate Judiciary Committee.  None of the three are sure things with each of them having about a 50/50 chance of confirmation out of committee as current opposition is aligned.

♦ Health and Human Services Secretary nominee Robert F Kennedy Jr starts the week Wednesday at 10:00am EST in front of the Senate Finance Committee.  Kennedy’s opposition group consists of one of the largest lobbying groups in Washington DC, Big Pharma and Big Agriculture.

RFK Jr’s goal of reshaping HHS, FDA and USDA faces significant opposition from the lobbying groups who have paid for influence on policy and regulations and the Senators who have received funding to turn that lobbying into legislation and regulation.  On the positive side, the general public sentiment is supportive of the MAHA agenda. Public pressure could be the factor that secures the nomination, but nothing is certain.

♦ Director of National Intelligence nominee Tulsi Gabbard represents the biggest internal threat to the Intelligence Community power and control structure within Washington DC.  However, recent reports now reflect that former Senate Intel Committee Chair Richard Burr is her guide in the nomination process.

As SSCI Chairman Burr was in favorable position with the IC in ’17, and ’18, but then after two years of passive support for the Trump targeting operation, he began to get wobbly in the eyes of the Seven Ways from Sunday group. They then carried out an operation to remove Burr via public leaks and investigative ends around Burr’s stock purchases and financial arrangements.  Burr was softly excommunicated from his status and replaced with Marco Rubio.

An interesting interview between Maria Bartiromo and recently confirmed CIA Director John Ratcliffe.

Within the interview Director Ratcliffe outlines the big picture instructions and direction he has received from President Trump during the second term in office.  In essence, the request from President Trump is for all of the IC silo heads to begin completely removing the elements of political manipulation from within the operations they are now going to lead.

To accomplish the goal, the ultimate goal, President Trump has instinctively told the incoming IC administrators to regain trust through transparency.  This approach is not only to regain the trust of the American people, but also -importantly- to regain the trust of President Trump’s office, which has -obviously- been targeted by the same IC silos the new cabinet members are charged to steer.  This is a critical approach. Do not filter information, just provide the sunlight upon the information as assembled.

In alignment with Vice-President JD Vance’s recent comments on the issue, Ratcliffe notes this was one of the primary reasons he quickly released the CIA assessment on the Wuhan Lab in China as the most likely origin of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic virus.  While it is far too early to tell how effective Ratcliffe (and others) might be in this new priority goal, at least Ratcliffe outlines the importance of it very well.  WATCH:

Within this example the American people not only see the deliberate nature of President Trump’s intent to carry out America-First policy, we are also getting an unmistakable confirmation of how our government could have previously stopped all of the bad activity in the past.

Using economic influence as a national security strategy, President Trump responded to the repatriation denials of the Colombian president with focus and the benefit of very fortuitous timing. With Valentines Day only two-weeks away, and with all floral contracts with Colombian growers previously locked in, any tariff, inspection delay or import embargo would have destroyed their industry.

President Gustavo Petro was facing an immediate 25 percent tariff on all goods imported from Colombia, visa restrictions, a travel ban, enhanced border patrol inspections and financial sanctions. Petro conceded to Trump’s responsive terms within hours, even retweeting the message from Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

In addition to all other notes evident in this example, all other national leaders are now on notice about what will happen if they refuse repatriation of illegal aliens.  #FAFO

Secretary of State Marco Rubio will be well received in his previously scheduled upcoming visits.

There are moments in life to just savor. This is one of them.

Apparently, Colombia has refused repatriation flights of illegal aliens.  President Trump responds forcefully, in what can only be described as epic, in part due to the timing of this.  Colombia is the #1 exporter of long stem roses (and other flowers) to the USA.  Valentines Day is about two weeks away.  I love Trump!

President Trump (via Truth Social) – I was just informed that two repatriation flights from the United States, with a large number of Illegal Criminals, were not allowed to land in Colombia. This order was given by Colombia’s Socialist President Gustavo Petro, who is already very unpopular amongst his people. Petro’s denial of these flights has jeopardized the National Security and Public Safety of the United States, so I have directed my Administration to immediately take the following urgent and decisive retaliatory measures:

-Emergency 25% tariffs on all goods coming into the United States. In one week, the 25% tariffs will be raised to 50%.

-A Travel Ban and immediate Visa Revocations on the Colombian Government Officials, and all Allies and Supporters.

-Visa Sanctions on all Party Members, Family Members, and Supporters of the Colombian Government.

-Enhanced Customs and Border Protection Inspections of all Colombian Nationals and Cargo on national security grounds.

-IEEPA Treasury, Banking and Financial Sanctions to be fully imposed.

These measures are just the beginning. We will not allow the Colombian Government to violate its legal obligations with regard to the acceptance and return of the Criminals they forced into the United States! (Source)

Seriously folks, there could not be better timing.

I’m not feeling any better about it, you guys know EXACTLY WHY. However, it’s good to know that President Trump is at least concerned about the potential runaway process within automated Artificial Intelligence.

During an interesting interview aboard Air-Force-One on the return from Las Vegas, President Trump was asked whether he was concerned about “artificial super intelligence” or fully automated AI.  President Trump said it was the first question he asked the AI team (Musk, Sacks, presumably Ellison and Altman).  Trump expressing the concern that it could be, “the rabbit that got away.”

The entire interview is loaded with some really interesting topics and insight; however, the AI comments come at 12:42 (prompted):

.

I also want to remind everyone that a DHS memo was issued on August 8th, 2023, discussing using AI as a tool for the domestic surveillance of American Citizens.

DHS’ AI task force is coordinating with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency on how the department can partner with critical infrastructure organizations “on safeguarding their uses of AI and strengthening their cybersecurity practices writ large to defend against evolving threats.”

What are those critical infrastructure organizations?  They include voting systems.  Who or what are those evolving threats?  You!

The promises of an America-First agenda in combination with clearing out the bureaucracy is underway as the first five days of the administration culminate.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has put a pause on most foreign aid with the exception of Egypt and Israel as the State Dept begins reevaluating spending priorities.  Coinciding with this announcement, President Trump removed over a dozen Inspectors General from various DC agencies.

WASHINGTON DC – Secretary of State Marco Rubio halted spending Friday on most existing foreign aid grants for 90 days. The order, which shocked State Department officials, appears to apply to funding for military assistance to Ukraine.

Rubio’s guidance, issued to all diplomatic and consular posts, requires department staffers to issue “stop-work orders” on nearly all “existing foreign assistance awards,” according to the document, which was obtained by POLITICO. It is effective immediately.

It appears to go further than President Donald Trump’s recent executive order, which instructed the department to pause foreign aid grants for 90 days pending review by the secretary. It had not been clear from the president’s order if it would affect already appropriated funds or Ukraine aid.
