Just a reminder:
.
As previously noted, the 118th Congress is expected to authorize a “Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.” The subcommittee will fall under the jurisdiction of the House Judiciary Committee led by Chairman Jim Jordan. Additionally, Thomas Massie (R-KY) is being reported as a representative under consideration for the chairmanship the House subcommittee.
I have been asked to outline a roadmap for success in this noble endeavor. So, I will…. and bite my tongue.
Let me say up front that many readers will not like this approach, and most professionally Republican along with media in/around Washington DC will absolutely hate the ideas as they are presented.
Assuming Jim Jordan and Thomas Massie have some grasp of the scale and scope of the opposition they are about to face; and assuming they have a fully prepared staff to support them – willing to take on the most consequential investigation in our lifetimes; then we begin by first defining who will oppose any effort to investigate the “weaponization of government“. Which is to say everyone!
The entire apparatus of the DC political system will do everything in their power, individually and with collective assistance, to ensure this committee fails. The stakes are basically all the marbles. DC politics is an institutional system of compartmentalized silos. A collection of weaponized institutions that view their common enemy as the American people not within them.
Specifically, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), and every Republican member therein, including SSCI Vice-Chairman Marco Rubio, will make it their priority mission to block any investigation that touches on how the intelligence apparatus of the United States government is weaponized against the people. The SSCI facilitated the creation of the National Security State, and any effort to investigate the outcome will make the House investigators mortal enemies to the Senate.
As only Tucker Carlson can, the Fox News host used his opening monologue tonight to dig a little deeper into the Joe Biden “classified document” story.
This is a very good non-pretending 17 minutes to encapsulate the issues in/around the story. WATCH:

Earlier today Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz (FL) appeared with Charlie Kirk to discuss the changes in tactics and approach within the GOP controlled House. {Direct Rumble Link – Full}
Within the interview Gaetz states that Kevin McCarthy will support the full release of information that has been hidden by the J6 committee. “Kevin McCarthy told us he’s going to get the evidence out in front of the American people, and that means releasing the 14,000 hours of tapes that have been hidden that I think would give more full context to that day, rather than the cherry-picked moments that the January 6th committee tried to use to inflame and further divide our country,” he said. WATCH:
Full Interview Below, which I strongly recommend. In the full interview Matt Gaetz goes into the deep weeds of the House rules changes. It surely seems like this young man has matured in Congress to be a very deliberate force with specific understanding of strategy. Listen to the first 7 minutes of the video below and you will see what I mean.

As anticipated, The House of Representatives now under Republican control, has established a subcommittee to review the “weaponization of the federal government.” [Media Report]
The subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee will have the power to investigate any part of the federal government for targeting and wrongdoing against American citizens – the Justice Department and FBI, in particular.
In the debate to establish the committee, Representative Dan Bishop (R-North Carolina) delivered powerful remarks from the floor. WATCH:

I hope Dan Bishop is a member of the committee.
I get a lot of flak for saying Texas is the next Georgia when it comes to professional politics and the ideological shift from Red to Blue. However, the grief matters not, because the reality of Texas turning left is very real even if Texans don’t want to admit it; here’s yet another datapoint. The only two GOP congressmen who did not support the reformed rules package were both from Texas. Representative Tony Gonzales voted against it, and Rep. Dan Crenshaw, did not vote.
Overall, the House of Representatives passed the rules package Monday night 220-213 with relatively little drama. It was the first order of business for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s new majority on the first day of the 118th legislative session. The 55-page package includes most of the concessions McCarthy made to the conservative caucus.
The new rules include the motion to vacate provision, allowing just one member to make a motion to remove the House speaker – one of the top conservative demands that will keep McCarthy in check.
WASHINGTON DC – The House rules plan that amounted to Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s first legislative victory on Monday night brings much bigger consequences than 55 pages suggest — it will shape the chamber’s operations and what bills can win approval over the next two years.
The House of Representatives is in current session to debate and confirm the new House rules package. The rules were a point of contention for some conservative House members, who initially refused to vote for Rep. Kevin McCarthy as speaker until the California Republican made concessions in order to win the gavel. [Livestream Video Below]

Joe Biden is in Mexico for the U.S-Mexico-Canada North American Summit, and as we have said the demands from the U.S and Canada to join the western climate change energy agenda immediately come to the forefront.
As National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan briefs the traveling press corps, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm starts tweeting in support of the overall narrative.
The overall effort is designed to force Mexico to join the western Build Back Better energy policy agenda, known domestically as the Green New Deal.
Previously Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez-Obrador has pushed back against the pressure from the U.S. and told Joe Biden his nation would remain focused on economic gains, that includes the use of traditional Oil, Coal and Natural Gas resources. However, the corporations and multinational financial constructs who control the Biden and Trudeau administrations, WEF types, are not going to accept that.
It is within this very consequential economic dynamic that we begin to see a host of other ancillary geopolitical aspects start to build against the AMLO administration, to include cartel activity perhaps stimulated by covert U.S. intelligence activity. We have been outlining the importance of Mexico for several months, there are trillions at stake.
The Washington Post speaks for the CIA, IC and DNI. The New York Times and Politico speak for the FBI, DOJ-NSD and DHS concerns, while CNN is the representative voice of the U.S. State Dept. These are the constants in the ever-changing world of narrative engineering. Never forget them.
As a direct result of the concerns expressed within a New York Times article, it’s abundantly clear the FBI and DOJ-NSD are worried about the new House Subcommittee on Federal Weaponization of Government. Specifically, the concern of the DOJ/FBI is the potential for the committee to start looking behind the curtain at the activity and intents of the special counsel operation.
(New York Times) – […] The resolution appears to give him authority to subpoena the Justice Department for information about the special counsel inquiry into Mr. Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election and his handling of classified documents, along with other politically charged matters like an open tax investigation into President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.
The text of the resolution would also grant Mr. Jordan’s panel the power to receive the same highly classified information that intelligence agencies make available to their oversight committee, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
During an appearance on ABC This Week, Pennsylvania Republican Scott Perry was asked by Stephanopoulos about the Jack Smith special counsel investigating him as a transfer of the J6 investigation to the DOJ. In essence the special counsel is now presumed to be investigating Scott Perry for insurrection.
Stephanopoulos then takes the accusatory questioning one step further and asks Perry if he is going to recuse himself from the House subcommittee investigation on weaponization of the federal government. Representative Perry doesn’t back down. WATCH:

The overarching Lawfare framework has been transparently created by President Obama’s former White House Legal Counsel and current U.S. Asst Attorney General Lisa Monaco. To wit, on November 18, 2022, following the outcome of the midterm election, Joe Biden’s Attorney General, Merrick Garland, announced the appointment of DOJ Attorney Jack Smith as Special Counsel to investigate two specific areas:
