Republicans created the Patriot Act, the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). The same agencies that Barack Obama later weaponized with the creation of the Dept of Justice National Security Division (DOJ-NSD).
The root issue around domestic surveillance and ultimately power & control, underlines Washington DC’s united opposition to Donald Trump.
Barack Obama and Eric Holder did not create a weaponized DOJ and FBI; the institutions were already weaponized by the Patriot Act. The Patriot Act turned the surveillance radar from pointing outwardly, to pointing inwardly, monitoring activity inside our nation. We The People were now the threat being monitored.
What President Obama and AG Eric Holder did was take the preexisting system and retool it, so the weapons of government conducting surveillance only targeted one side of the political continuum. Domestic terrorists were now defined through the prism of political opposition.
Ultimately this retooled system surfaces in 2022 with the FBI saying domestic terror threats from right-wing extremists are the biggest national security threat. This is why the Biden administration says, without pause, that Trump voters are a “threat to democracy.” The origin of that surveillance inflection point explains where we are today.
Using the references of current events, attorney and former Constitutional Law Clerk for Justice Gorsuch, Mike Davis, once again astutely and succinctly summarizes and deconstructs the nonsense within the fabricated and political DOJ case against President Trump. {Direct Rumble Link}
Mr. Davis walks through the claims and deconstructs the political arguments with citations to the constitution, lawful and applicable precedent, along with a direct hit on the motive of the DOJ and FBI effort. In three minutes, Davis nails the top-line issues soup to nuts, WATCH:
Mitch McConnell and Joe Biden are in agreement on the main midterm election issue. Their synergy leads to the current state of our political dynamic in the United States, as expressed moments ago in the official position of the Biden administration from the White House. Also, please note Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre read the sentences she just stated for the public record. WATCH:
…”The way that he sees it, the MAGA republicans are the most energized part of the republican party. Uh, that extreme, this is an extreme threat to our democracy, to our freedom, to our rights. They just don’t respect the rule of law. You heard that from the President. They are pursuing an agenda that takes away people’s rights“…
The worst aspect of this is the inability of people who are voting republican, so see that statement from the White House as in total alignment with Mitch McConnell and the professional republican political system. It’s not just the opinion of Joe Biden, the mental trap people fall into is not recognizing this anti-MAGA perspective, is the opinion held within the RNC and Republican political apparatus.
Both wings of the UniParty view President Trump’s economic nationalism and America-First agenda, as a threat to their affluence, influence and power. Both wings of the Uniparty see Trump supporters as the “extreme threat.” One wing is openly stating it, the other wing is working diligently -and deceptively- on the same agenda.
Once you accept the republican apparatus is intent on removing that threat, then you begin to see who they are constructing in the background to remove it. However, it is in the accepting of that baseline where most voters get so uncomfortable, they will deny it at all costs in order to retain their stability. And I do mean, deny it at all costs.
The DOJ has filed a response to the motion by President Trump for the court to appoint a special master to review the seized material from the DOJ/FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago. [Court pdf Here] Additionally, the outside government Lawfare group has filed an amicus brief supporting the DOJ-NSD position [Amici court pdf Here]
Essentially the position of the DOJ boils down to… They have already reviewed the material. Yes, there was attorney-client privilege material seized; but they swear the internal team segregated the legally confidential material and the DOJ investigators & prosecutors didn’t see it – double pinkie swear, yer honor.
Additionally, in a nice lawfare maneuver, the DOJ claims President Trump never formally evoked ‘executive privilege‘ on any material at Mar-a-Lago; therefore, despite his position as a former President, he was/is legally considered an ordinary citizen for the purpose of raiding his home to seize material the government considers vital to national security.
To complement the created DOJ narrative for media consumption, and to assist the media effort for direct distribution of the DOJ position, Main Justice released a picture as an example of the documents seized. The DOJ literally staged and created this photo for media to use, then released it in the court filing. Slick lawfare:
The cover sheets are essentially non sequitur as they do not necessarily describe or affirm the nature of the documented material underneath. “HCS-P/SI/TK” looks all officially looming; however, it doesn’t necessarily mean any of the information is classified as HCS (HUMINT Control System, or human intelligence), SI (special intelligence), or TK (talent keyhole), or SCI (Sensitive Compartmented Information), aka the silos.
One word or paragraph could be considered ‘special intelligence’. Example “FISA” or “FISC”. You might remember our prior discussions that every document that contains the designation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, FISA or FISC, literally those words or abbreviations, is considered classified special intelligence.
During an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s television show, former house intel staff and Trump aide Kash Patel confirms the documents targeted by the DOJ/FBI raid on Trump’s home were documents of evidence showing DOJ/FBI political corruption in the Trump-Russia probe.
President Trump declassified documents that show how the institutions within the U.S. government targeted him. However, the institutions that illegally targeted President Trump are now the same institutions seeking control of the specific evidence of their unlawful targeting. WATCH:
An FBI raid cannot be predicated on a document conflict between the National Archives and a former president.
The DOJ-NSD warrant, and the subsequent raid on Mar-a-Lago could only be predicated and justified on records the U.S. government deems “classified” and material vital to national security interests. That’s the Main Justice cover story to retrieve the evidence of their own wrongdoing. Hence, DOJ National Security Division involvement.
The financial pundits are slowly starting to drop the pretending and discuss the bigger economic picture. However, as they tread very carefully, they are being very cautious about admitting too much.
A Reuters discussion of the comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, starts to dip the media toe in the painful pool; yet they will not admit the Biden energy program is the source of the inflation Powell is targeting with his policy moves to shrink energy demand. Thus, the pretending continues.
If you take the written words and extract the parseltongue, you can see a more fulsome picture of what is being outlined.
JACKSON HOLE, Wyo., Aug 29 (Reuters) – The message from the world’s top finance chiefs is loud and clear: rampant inflation is here to stay and taming it will take an extraordinary effort, most likely a recession with job losses and shockwaves through emerging markets.
That price is still worth paying, however. Central banks spent decades building their credibility on inflation fighting skills and losing this battle could shake the foundations of modern monetary policy.
In other words, the U.S. economy is based on core U.S. energy systems and moving that construct to alternative energy, windmills, electric vehicles and solar panels; along with getting Americans to accept a lowered standard of living; is an “extraordinary effort.”
“It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones.” ~ Niccolò Machiavelli
ABC’s Director of narrative engineering, George Stephanopoulos, interviews Senator Roy Blunt (U-Mo) to elicit his rebuke of President Trump having custody of evidence showing how the legislative and executive branches of the U.S. government conspired to him from impacting their corrupt DC interests.
Senator Blunt dutifully played the role of ‘lukewarm defender,’ aka controlled opposition. WATCH:
Retired Admiral James Stavridis was the former NATO Supreme Allied Commander who conducted Secretary Hillary Clinton’s war in Libya without congressional authorization. Stavridis represents the military side of the State Dept war machine, while Michael McFaul, former U.S. Ambassador to Russia, represents the diplomatic side.
Hopefully, more Americans are awake now to the nature of U.S. foreign policy as it relates to who controls the use of our military. Most modern interventions are conducted from within the U.S. State Dept using joint elements of the CIA that operate within it. The State Dept and CIA now control all pentagon operations and direct U.S. missions.
Once we accept how this modern process of global influence works, then we understand how and why Mike Pompeo moved from CIA to State during the Trump administration. Pompeo was the ‘mitigator,’ the person installed to block President Trump from interfering in this construct. What Bill Barr was to the DOJ, Pompeo was for the State Dept. It’s always uncomfortable to look at the Deep State with clear eyes.
As you review the propaganda; and there is no doubt this is pure propaganda as pushed by NBC today on Meet the Press; keep in mind that U.S. operators are deeply embedded inside Ukraine to facilitate goals of the State Dept proxy war against Russia. New York Times – … [E]ven as the Biden administration has declared it will not deploy American troops to Ukraine, some C.I.A. personnel have continued to operate in the country secretly, mostly in the capital, Kyiv, directing much of the vast amounts of intelligence the United States is sharing with Ukrainian forces, according to current and former officials.
.
As noted in the interview, albeit with parseltonge to obscure the reality of the situation and keep the American public thinking sending more money and weapons into Ukraine will change the outcome – it won’t, Russia has dug in throughout Donbas and now controls eastern Ukraine. Donbas was always the goal of Vladimir Putin as a buffer against Western use of Ukraine.
Ukraine is to the United States what North Korea is to China; both are fully controlled proxy states. Western media keep pretending that Ukraine is not the playground for the U.S. government. However, the larger reality is clear and accepting that reality explains why the U.S. government is funding the Ukraine government. Meanwhile Vladimir Putin is clear-eyed and has no problem watching the U.S. go bankrupt trying to keep Ukraine afloat.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich knows a thing or ten about the DC Deep State, and he appeared on television with Mark Levin to deliver a stark opinion about the current course of action by a comprehensively corrupt and politicized DOJ and FBI. {Direct Rumble Link}
From the perspective of Mr. Gingrich the institutional system within Washington DC is “playing for keeps” with “no interest in the law,” in their effort to keep Donald Trump from challenging the corrupt system now controlling the U.S. government. Unfortunately, I agree with the prediction. WATCH:
.
As soon as the Washington DC FBI sent agents to Florida, everything changed. If you stand back and look at national political events from an objective perspective, the connections between the executive agencies and the national political apparatus start taking on a new clarity.
Additionally, when you overlay the tepid initial response from a newly managed Florida Governor, then look at his national rollout, you can see a specifically constructed series of events intended to give an alternative for the MAGA outrage vote.
U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon has issued a two-page order [SEE HERE] indicating her willingness to appoint a special master to review the documents seized by the DOJ in the Mar-a-Lago raid.
Judge Cannon has asked the Justice Department to produce by Tuesday “a more detailed” list of items seized from Trump’s residence on Aug. 8 as well as the status of the government’s ongoing review of those materials, which includes the use of a “filter team” to screen for attorney-client privileged records.
