This is a great example of how the Intelligence Branch of the U.S. government now operates.  Not only did the NSA conduct surveillance of Tucker Carlson’s electronic communication, but the NSA also leaked Carlson’s emails to allied intelligence media (Axios, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post) who operate as PR firms on behalf of the Intelligence Branch.

Watch this Tucker Carlson interview with Maria Bartiromo this morning:

I’ll keep repeating this for as many years as needed until people on our side finally catch-on.  The most well documented, evidenced and provable example of a severely compromised Intelligence Community operation to manipulate politics and shape U.S. media is found in the story of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) Security Director, James Wolfe, and his years of leaking classified information to the media.

The SSCI is supposed to be the primary oversight mechanism looking over U.S. intelligence operations and the people within them.  However, the SSCI has partnered with the Intelligence Community (writ large) in a collaborative effort to (1) gain more power; then (2) retain that power.  The SSCI functions as the mechanism that permits the existence of the most powerful branch of government.  The fourth branch, the ‘Intelligence Branch‘.

SSCI Security Director James Wolfe was told to leak the Top-Secret Title-1 FISA warrant used against Carter Page.  James Wolfe was told to leak the document to media.  Wolfe chose Ali Watkins (Buzzfeed) and others.  Wolfe was told to leak the FISA on March 17, 2017, by Senators in the committee, that’s why Wolfe was never prosecuted for leaking it by the DOJ.

Wolfe’s defense lawyers threatened to subpoena the senators on the committee {LINK}, and immediately the SSCI, with the help of the Mueller/Weissmann team, came to Wolfe’s rescue.   They simply could not let the background story ever surface.  Think deeply about the profound ramifications of that real world example.

After many years of granular research about the intelligence apparatus inside our government, in the summer of 2020 I visited Washington DC to ask specific questions.

My goal was to go where the influence agents within government actually operate, and discover the people deep inside the institutions no-one pays any attention to.

It was during this process when I discovered how information is purposefully put into containment silos; essentially a formal process to block the flow of information between agencies, and between the original branches. While frustrating to discover, the silo effect was important to understand because comprehension of communication networks leads to our ability to reconcile conflict between what we perceive and what’s actually taking place.

In the next few days I am going to explain how the Intelligence Branch works: (1) to control every other branch of government; (2) how it functions as an entirely independent branch of government with no oversight; (3) how and why it was created to be independent from oversight; (4) what is the current mission of the IC Branch, and most importantly (5) who operates it.

When we understand how the Fourth Branch works, questions about our dysfunctional U.S. modern government are answered. Additionally, the motives and intentions of people inside the institutions start to reconcile. Before beginning a deeper explanation, here’s an example almost everyone overlooked.  Remind yourself of a question raised in March of 2017 by Elise Stefanik, and a set of follow-up questions that were never asked.

In April of 2016 the FBI launched a counterintelligence operation against presidential candidate Donald Trump.  The questioning about that operation is what Rep. Stefanik cites in March of 2017, approximately 11 months later.

Tucker Carlson used his TV broadcast on Wednesday night to continue pushing-back against NSA operational data collection that appears to have caught him in their surveillance dragnet.  However, what Carlson (and many others) have yet to reconcile is the totality of control held by the newest branch of government, the Intelligence Branch.

CTH has been contacted by numerous interested stakeholders in the larger dynamic.  Tomorrow we hope to be able to give readers an explanation of exactly how each traditional branch of government; including the administrative agencies within them; have been taken over by a methodical expansion of the Intelligence Community.  Everything is now controlled by the Intelligence Branch, and the underlying mechanisms of government have abdicated, perhaps even abandoned, their oversight.

In the interim, here’s the latest segment from Carlson along with one of CTH earlier outlines on how the NSA database became a surveillance tool for President Barack Obama.  We are almost 15 years into a process that facilitates the Intelligence Branch as the most powerful -and unelected- governmental system.  After the Carlson segment remind yourself how President Obama exploited a process he created.

There is no workable solution to debate until the American people and congressional representatives admit and accept the totality of the current corrupt system.  In essence, until everyone realizes there is a fourth branch of government now in control.

The process to create the Intelligence Branch started around the time the office of the DNI was created (post 9/11/01).  However, it was President Obama and AG Eric Holder who took advantage of the framework the ODNI system created with an immediate and methodical plan in 2008.  The effectiveness of what they constructed shows up toward the end of the Obama presidency when they were using that system to assist Hillary Clinton.

That is the context to remember a time-frame between December 2015 and April 2016 when the NSA database was being exploited by contractors within the intelligence community, using windows opened by the Obama-era DOJ/FBI, to facilitate unauthorized searches.

Governor Ron DeSantis, the information highlighted in the example below is provided as affirmation to what you likely already know; however, I provide the enhanced granular background to contemplate as you look toward the horizon.  This information is provided publicly because there is a purposeful reason to continue pulling back the curtain for a larger electoral awakening.

As a former congressman you know the duplicity of the bureaucratic federal system that you left behind.  The traditional framework of three co-equal branches of government has been usurped by a larger and deeper network now represented by terminology describing the intelligence community.  The example below highlights just one way the system is self-protecting.

On October 19, 2020, former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr appointed John Durham as special prosecutor under authorities provided by DOJ regulations [28 cfr 600].  However, AG Bill Barr did not tell the public at the time of the appointment.  Within the original appointment AG Barr notes the reason for doing this quietly [Page 2, Paragraph (e)]:

“Pursuant to 28 C.F.R. § 600.9(b), I have determined that the notification requirement … should be tolled until at least after the November 3, 2020 election because legitimate and investigative privacy concerns warrant confidentiality.“

In essence, AG Bill Barr stated he did not want to impact the 2020 presidential election with a notification to congress or the public of this appointment.  While the justification for this approach is clearly within the unspoken rules of the DOJ not wanting to give the impression of interference in political elections, we must also accept these unspoken DOJ rules only flow in one direction – when Democrat party politicians need to be protected.

However, beyond the justification for not informing the public that U.S. Attorney John Durham was now empowered with special prosecutor authorities before the 2020 presidential election, there are much bigger issues that surface; and this must be accepted and discussed in its purposeful totality.

♦ Notification of the special prosecutor appointment did not surface until December 1, 2020, when AP journalist Michael Balsamo first wrote about it (SEE HERE).  Based on a recent widely-viewed article published in the Atlantic, we now know Balsamo was summoned by AG Barr to Main Justice for an informal lunch were several issues were discussed: “Barr’s betrayal came on December 1, over lunch in the attorney general’s private dining room with Michael Balsamo, a Justice Department beat reporter at the Associated Press.” (link)

After being duped, played and ultimately conned, by the duplicitous and Machiavellian deep state apparatchik known as former AG Bill Barr {Go Deep Here} it is no surprise to CTH why President Trump would be a level of angry that’s almost unfathomable.

Every word within this statement by President Trump is justified and warranted.

PRESIDENT TRUMP:  “RINO former Attorney General Bill Barr failed to investigate election fraud, and really let down the American people. Even the scam that took place in Georgia of ballot stuffing on camera, he couldn’t see what was wrong with it.

Just like he failed to understand the Horowitz report and let everyone down with respect to getting a timely investigation (where’s Durham?) on all of the corruption of the Obama-Biden Administration.

It’s people in authority like Bill Barr that allow the crazed Radical Left to succeed. He and other RINOs in the Republican Party are being used in order to try to convince people that the election was legitimate when so many incredible facts have now come out to show conclusively that it wasn’t.

He came in with a semi-bang and went out with a whimper. Earlier in his term Bill Barr went ballistic on CNN with Wolf Blitzer warning Democrats were changing election rules to flood the system with mail-in ballots that “as a matter of logic” are “very open to fraud.”

They are, and Bill Barr did nothing about it.

There has been a lot of discussion today about an Atlantic article [SEE HERE] containing an outline of former AG Bill Barr’s discussion with reporters and the White House in the aftermath of the 2020 election.  In essence the nub of the article is Bill Barr stating to a journalist December 1st: ” To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election,” and then the article covers the fallout with the White House from that AP interview.

AG Barr called Michael Balsamo to his office in Main Justice to make the statement over lunch:

ATLANTIC – […] Balsamo’s story appeared on the AP newswire shortly after lunch ended: “Disputing Donald Trump’s persistent baseless claims, Attorney General William Barr declared Tuesday the U.S. Justice Department had uncovered no evidence of widespread voter fraud that could change the outcome of the 2020 election.”

The story blew a hole in the president’s claims. Nobody seriously questioned Barr’s conservative credentials or whether he had been among Trump’s most loyal cabinet secretaries. His conclusion sent a definitive message that the effort to overturn the election was without merit. (read more)

That last paragraph perfectly encapsulates the entire purpose for AG Bill Barr to be in place since February of 2019.  To present the image of a loyal cabinet secretary so that no-one could/would question his conservative credentials.   That purpose was exactly what CTH presented upon the nomination and confirmation of Bill Barr.  His job was to be the bondo that covered the rot in DC and gave the illusion of a healthy functioning justice department.  We called it “Bondo Barr“.

There is a specific irony of Bill Barr using Wayne County, Michigan, as “no evidence” of ballot fraud while simultaneously admitting no other area other than Wayne county has voting precincts that do not count ballots.  Only in Wayne county do the 662 precincts deliver ballots to a central counting facility.  The Wayne County process itself is designed specifically to make ballot fraud easier….  The former AG says move along, move along, nothing to see here… “that’s what they do.”

Last night CTH highlighted the flaw in the Tucker Carlson (Fox News) and Darren Beattie (Revolver News) advocacy for a Senate investigation into the FBI involvement with the January 6th DC protest/insurrection {Go Deep}.  Bottom Line: legislative oversight has consistently been participating in the corruption carried out by intelligence agencies and FBI.

Tonight I want to warn everyone of the trap that exists if this advocacy for a legislative approach continues.  Republicans are right now walking into a trap.  Read this next line carefully:  The January 6th Commission is to MAGA voters what the Mueller investigation was to President Trump.

The Senate vote to support Nancy Pelosi’s January 6th Commission only failed by five votes. The final cloture vote was 54-35.  Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, Mitt Romney of Utah and Rob Portman of Ohio all supported the commission. Pat Toomey (PA) would have supported, but he was absent for the vote.  Senators Blackburn (R-TN), Blunt (R-MO), Braun (R-IN), Burr (R-NC), Inhofe (R-OK), Murray (D-WA), Risch (R-ID), Rounds (R-SD), Shelby (R-AL), Sinema (D-AZ) and Toomey (R-PA) did not vote.

If republicans keep demanding a senate investigation into the FBI involvement on January 6th events, it will only take a few moves before Schumer and Pelosi twist that demand to say “then why didn’t you support the January 6th commission?”… and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer would love nothing more than to bring that vote to approve the commission back to the floor.  I would even suggest that due to new demands by republicans in media, Mitch McConnell would support it.

Let me be clear, that January 6th Commission will be entirely run by democrats and their Lawfare operatives within staff.  The purpose of that commission would carry the same intents as the Mueller investigation in 2017 through 2019: to frame a narrative against their political opposition.    The difference this time would be that President Trump would not be the intended sole target; the Pelosi January 6th commission would be targeting Trump voters.

Investigations are only done by DC to serve their own interests.  Sometimes those interests are in throwing a bag over DC corruption: Fast n Furious, Benghazi Committee, IRS scandal and the VA scandal for recent reference points.  However, sometimes those DC interests are best protected by targeting opposition to DC itself, just like the Weissmann/Mueller special counsel.

Last night and tonight, Fox News host Tucker Carlson led off the show with discussion of the “January 6th Insurrection” narrative.

On Tuesday night Carlson and Darren Beattie suggested some form of senate Church Committee 2.0 should be initiated in order to investigate the U.S. intelligence community, and specifically the FBI for their role in coordinating or facilitating the January 6th events.  On Wednesday night Carlson again recommended the U.S. congress should start investigating.

Putting aside the background motives of Tucker Carlson; and accepting he is making these recommendations in good faith; there is a fatal flaw in his suggestion – and the support from anyone else who would suggest the same or similar approach.  The fatal flaw is an obvious one that unfortunately too many people just will not, and cannot, accept….

The Legislative Branch of the federal government is part of the Intelligence Community corruption.  The oversight “gang of eight” (pictured above), are enablers and participants in the corrupt endeavors that Carlson wants them to investigate.

The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) led by Chairman Adam Schiff, and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) led by Chairman Mark Warner, are part of the institutional corruption.  This is the problem, the core issue in the background, that too few people are recognizing as they begin to see the corruption within the intelligence community.  The legislative branch and the executive branch are working together; there is NO functioning oversight.  {CLIFF NOTES}

Tucker Carlson did an extensive monologue and interview last night as a review of the January 6th DC protest contrast against the likelihood of FBI organization and coordination.  Many are calling this a brave discussion because Carlson will likely face backlash for the overview.   As CTH has noted often, the politicization of the U.S. intelligence apparatus is the biggest threat to our constitutional republic.  In this segment Carlson arrives at the same conclusion.

Carlson used a Revolver article (SEE HERE) by Darren Beattie as the framework for the discussion.  The additional examples Carlson uses are familiar to CTH readers as we have used them before to highlight how politically corrupt the FBI has become.  For those who missed the segment it is in the first 15 minutes of the video below (likely will not last long). UPDATE: Video Switched

Unfortunately, and completely understandably due to the content being outlined, both Carlson and Beattie need to couch their words carefully.  However, CTH does not.

Often when discussion of these issues takes place, too much time is exhausted presenting supportive material in order to defend yourself from attacks by those who wish to block the conversation. CTH takes the position that our library of evidence is enough to stand alone.  As a consequence we have long passed the point of needing to present endless examples to backstop the analysis.  Quite simply it makes the research outlines too repetitive and too lengthy.

Avoiding the pitfalls of exhaustive repetition for points that are, by now, brutally obvious; and considering the urgency in the matters being discussed; it’s worth just accepting a few baselines as we move forward.

The coordination of narrative engineering across all agencies of the U.S. government is quite remarkable. Today Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that Deputy AG Lisa Monaco (Obama crew) will lead a “whole of government” effort to label any political opposition to the Biden regime as “domestic terrorists”.

To facilitate that objective, Garland announced that DAG Monaco is reconstituting “the domestic terrorism executive committee“, an investigative agency process used in the aftermath of the Oklahoma bombing in 1995. Additionally, Garland is noting the January 6th Capitol Hill protest was the current equivalent of the 1995 bombing that killed 168 people and injured 680. The Domestic Terrorism committee, led by Monaco, will focus their efforts at ensuring the center of U.S. government is never again put at risk.

You only need to watch the first 4 minutes of the video below to see the framework of the narrative being deployed. Garland’s statements align with Nancy Pelosi’s legislative demand to weaponize a January 6th Commission for the same political intents and purposes.  [White House Announcement Here]

As announced the Biden administration will use the opportunity of the protest against the 2020 election outcome to set into place various multi-agency monitoring systems to “identify threats”, “monitor behaviors” and “conduct surveillance” on all Americans, in effort to identify the “domestic extremists”.  This, they hope, will help eliminate  any political push-back in the upcoming 2022 mid-term election.

.

The purpose of this announcement should be crystal clear to everyone.  We discussed and outlined the background previously.  {Go Deep 1} and {Go Deep Two}

In the background of these maneuvers Big Tech and Corporate Media have been instructed to push the “domestic extremist” narrative; and any truth-tellers are considered subversive, ie. against the interests of the U.S. government.

The January 6th DC protest is being used as evidence for that narrative. Deplatforming, censorship and ultimately control of voices who would warn of the larger issues continues daily.

Let me be very clear… stop and hear the drums… Something is about to happen.  Approximately 100 million American voters are considered dissidents now.
