Some people struggle to understand the relationships of the IC silo operation in Washington DC.  That struggle is completely understandable, because the modern functioning doesn’t come as an outcome of any constitutional or legislative framework.  The modern functioning was created by the Intelligence Community (IC).

To share an example and provide an accurate elevator speech, CTH assembles non-pretending metaphors.  Here’s the State Department and CIA joint silo operation. All of our foreign allies and enemies know and understand this metaphor.  I have discussed it with several and many smile in affirmation:

The U.S State Dept and CIA operation is like a restaurant.

The Dept of State is the front of the restaurant, with the Secretary as the Maitre D’.

The CIA is the back of the restaurant, the kitchen. The Director is the Chef.

The menus at the front, as well as the specific seating/tables available, are dependent on the status of each guest. Each table gets a different menu.

The Chef has the opportunity to kill the diner. The diners know this and those who understand the nature of the business model consider the Chef the most powerful person in the establishment.

The consulates are the wait staff. USAID are the food runners. The Dept of Defense are the bus boys.

Ukraine is a big tipper.

At the same time that Benjamin Netanyahu is in Washington DC to rally U.S. support for the ongoing Israeli conflict against Hamas in Gaza, FBI Director Chris Wray is informing congress of the potential for domestic Iranian interests to be involved in the assassination attempt against President Trump.

What does each narrative have in common?

When outgoing President Barack Obama had his final “transition” meeting with incoming President Donald Trump, he informed the incoming administration the biggest geopolitical threat to national security interests comes from North Korea. President-elect Trump asked President Obama if he had ever spoken to Chairman Kim Jong-un.  The response was that U.S. policy is not to reward aggressors with direct contact.  As the story is told, those types of discussions are perceived within the USG as rewarding our adversaries.

That was that.

Subsequently, and in a complete departure from national security norms and USG policy as created by those who run USG policy – ie. The Deep State, President Trump told his national security team to arrange contact with Chairman Kim.  I will not repeat the week-to-week events, but not surprisingly, things radically changed.

The intelligence community (IC), the true control elements of the deepest part of our USG Deep State, were not happy.  When President Trump spoke to Chairman Kim, he violated one of the governing sacraments constructing the walls around the compartmented Silos.

If a president is told it is raining outside while sitting in a room without windows, is it really raining?

….Back to the IC and Iran.

Today, FBI Director Christopher Wray will face questions about the FBI role in the attempted assassination of President Trump and their investigation in the aftermath.

To date, despite the significance of the event, no official press conference with the heads of Secret Service, Dept of Homeland Security or the FBI have taken place.  There have been ZERO official press conference where USSS, DHS or FBI would answer questions.  In the absence of this protocol, which is intentionally missing, congress has stepped into the role of the media and trying to get answers.  It’s all sketchy; all of it.

Director Wray appears before the House Judiciary Committee today at 10:00am. Unfortunately, given the long history of the FBI claiming they cannot speak due to never-ending ongoing investigations, I do not anticipate much substantive progress. We are all very frustrated. Livestream Links Below.

According to multiple reports, the Secret Service told President Trump to stop holding outdoor MAGA rallies.

That part doesn’t come as a surprise, not because of any security risk, but because in the manufactured optics of the 2024 election Team Chicago cannot maintain the illusion of massive Kamala support. The contrast is against their interests.

Also, when you understand the game -especially the IC role within the game- the outlet pushing the story makes it even more obvious.

WASHINGTON POST – Secret Service officials encouraged Donald Trump’s campaign to stop scheduling large outdoor rallies and other outdoor events with big crowds after the assassination attempt on the former president in Butler, Pa., according to people familiar with the matter.

In the aftermath of the shooting, agents from the Secret Service communicated their concerns about large outdoor rallies going forward to Trump campaign advisers, three people familiar with the matter said.  The people familiar with the matter spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private discussions.

NBC, the cable PR firm for the Harris campaign, is now reporting that President Trump has agreed and acquiesced.

We will wait and see if this reporting is accurate.  However, don’t overlook the potential Alinsky factor in this type of Deep State shaping.  The IC sets the stage via USSS for a game of isolation, ridicule and marginalization.  Psychotics and Narcissists love playing these head games.

At today’s House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) questioned the Commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police, Christopher Paris, about a video he took of the Butler Township location of the assassination attempt against former President Trump.

Toward the end of his questioning, Representative Crane says he has received information that Thomas Crook’s house was scrubbed, cleaned and even silverware removed, prior to the investigative units arriving. Seems odd. WATCH:

A short background detail.  Almost no one knows this, but Chuck Grassley has the best research and legislative staff in all of Washington, DC.  Grassley’s guys are quick into the silos and understand how to stealth navigate through the system of compartmentalization that exists. [Every republican in the intel sphere will admit this] This video footage being retrieved and released specifically by Grassley’s team does not surprise me.  Great job Team Grassley.

In this footage, release by Senator Grassley via his X-Account, you will see conversation with snipers, state police, local LEO and Secret Service.  Senator Grassley communicates the following message to accompany the release:

“SENSITIVE CONTENT: July 13 Bodycam footage provides more info than Secret Service will share w America We NEED detailed answers ASAP on security failures TRANSPARENCY BRINGS ACCOUNTABILITY. Vid obtained from Beaver Co Emergency Services Unit in compliance w congressional requests.”

Shortly after Grassley’s team released the video, it was removed from Twitter – but not before it was captured for sharing by other users.

Took pictures and “called it out” sometime before he took a shot at President Trump

The right-wing of the DC UniPParty played their role very well.  With mission accomplished, U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has resigned her position, following the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump.

(Via NBC) –  In her resignation letter, obtained from a senior official who received it, Cheatle wrote that the “scrutiny over the last week has been intense and will continue to remain as our operational tempo increases.” She added she takes “full responsibility for the security lapse.”

“In light of recent events, it is with a heavy heart that I have made the difficult decision to step down as your Director,” wrote Cheatle, who had led the agency since September 2022.  It’s unclear when her last day will be. (more)

Dept of Homeland Security, Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, appoints Ronald Rowe as his replacement.  Rowe was one of Obama’s foot soldiers who helped create the domestic surveillance and targeting mechanisms for the weaponized Intelligence Community.  Go figure.

Well, there’s the answers.  The DNC has announced they will proceed with the roll call vote for nomination next Wednesday [link].  That puts Kamala on track to announce her VP selection around this weekend.  And the cherry on the cake is Eric Holder doing the vetting for the Harris campaign.

Right on track, the process seamless.  Almost as if this was the plan all along. 🙄 lol

July 22 (Reuters) – Former Attorney General Eric Holder and his law firm, Covington & Burling LLP, will conduct vetting of potential running mates for Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign for the U.S. presidency, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

Harris is running for the Democratic presidential nomination after President Joe Biden announced on Sunday he was stepping aside.

A campaign spokesperson for Harris declined to comment. (more)

The top list of the VP possibilities are:

• Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, • Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, • Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, • Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, • North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, • California Gov. Gavin Newsom, • Illinois Governer JB Pritzker, • Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, and • Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

Which one do you think Obama will select?

My bet is on Mark Kelly.
