People keep sending me emails about a Wall St Journal article [SEE HERE] highlighting John Durham and a grand jury receiving evidence.  According to the article: “Special Counsel John Durham, appointed during the Trump administration to examine the origins of the FBI’s 2016 Russia probe, is presenting evidence to a grand jury and preparing a lengthy report expected to be completed in the coming months, according to people familiar with the matter.”

The article goes on to say Durham is looking into whether any informant or tipster to the FBI intentionally gave false information, ergo they have committed a crime:

…“Mr. Durham has been examining potential criminal charges against several lower-level Federal Bureau of Investigation employees, and people who aren’t in government, according to people familiar with the matter.” (link)

…”Prosecutors working for Mr. Durham have focused on people outside the FBI who provided information that helped fuel the 2016 investigation, the people familiar with the matter said.”

It gets a little frustrating reading these articles, yes I said plural – because the New York Times ran an almost identical article in April {See Here} –  because NOTHING is going to come of Durham except for the possibility of another obtuse report that will look almost identical to the report issued by DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz.

How can we be so certain?… Because of Robert Mueller, that’s why.

A very odd sequence of events (more on that later) created a need for me to pause the ongoing “Fourth Branch of Government” series.  A rather important discovery connected to Israeli intelligence and China came into view.  I am still evaluating, and researching deeper than comfortable in this rabbit hole. It is very time consuming and more than a little complex to unravel.

If you read the article about the “Pegasus Project”, spyware created to infect cell phones that was marketed by Israeli intelligence through a company called NSO {Go Deep Here}, then you essentially know the background.  However, a very serious connection and discovery has been made that changes the dynamic of that story completely.

It has been identified that the actual code that created the malware behind Pegasus was not, in actuality, code generated from within the network of the Israeli company that sells the software/spyware.

There is a very strong indication the actual spyware was created by the Chinese.

Yes, that would make the “Pegasus spyware” Chinese spyware distributed to western governments and agents (outside 5-eyes) through the false front of the Israeli government.

Obviously, if we can verify this evidence, the entire dynamic behind the story changes dramatically.  The Israelis, specifically the NSO company that markets Pegasus, would have to know the origin was China.  Questions: (1) Why would Israel act as the front for Chinese spyware to infect phones of western targets? (2) If the Israelis did not know the origin of the software/spyware was China, well, that’s an even bigger issue by itself – but the baseline there is doubtful.

This is a rather bold public admission.  They are saying the quiet part out loud and absolutely confirming what we have been writing about in our Fourth Branch of Government series.   Remember, the Fourth Branch is only possible because of a Public-Private partnership with the intelligence apparatus.

Today, the biggest names in Big Tech announce they have partnered with the Five Eyes intelligence network, ultimately controlled by the NSA, to: (1) monitor all activity in their platforms; (2) identify extremist content; (3) look for expressions of Domestic Violent Extremism (DVE); and then, (4) put the content details into a database where the Five Eyes intelligence agencies (U.K., U.S., Australia, Canada, New Zealand) can access it.

Facebook, Twitter, Google and Microsoft are all partnering with the intelligence apparatus.  I can’t believe they admit this sentence in the release (emphasis mine):

[…] “The Group will use lists from intelligence-sharing group Five Eyes adding URLs and PDFs from more groups, including the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters and neo-Nazis.”

Think about that sentence structure very carefully.  They are “adding to” the pre-existing list…. admitting the group (aka Big Tech) already have access to the the intelligence-sharing database… and also admitting there is a pre-existing list created by the Five Eyes consortium.

Obviously, who and what is defined as “extremist content” will be determined by the Big Tech insiders themselves.  This provides a gateway, another plausible deniability aspect, to cover the Intelligence Branch from any oversight.

When the Intelligence Branch within government wants to conduct surveillance and monitor American citizens, they run up against problems due to the Constitution of the United States.   They get around those legal limitations by sub-contracting the intelligence gathering, the actual data-mining, and allowing outside parties (contractors) to have access to the central database.

Devin Nunes appears with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo to discuss the previous six months of the Biden regime.  Representative Nunes notes how the media  is struggling to find a positive outcome from any policy, and the inability of the installed White House occupant to form coherent sentences.

An important issue for Nunes is the advancement of Chinese interests on U.S. soil and the facilitation of China’s influence by the Biden regime.   Additionally al-Qaeda is rising back up in Afghanistan, China is conducting unrestricted cyber-intrusions and the U.S. military is more concerned about wokeism than strategic defense.

On the subject of the NSA conducting surveillance of American citizens, specifically Tucker Carlson, Representative Nunes references the history of President Obama’s weaponization of the intelligence agencies and notes their behavior has not changed throughout.  The republicans on the House Intel Committee are conducting an independent investigation of the NSA.

China’s Huawei Tech was black-listed by President Trump’s administration due to the inherent national security risk from Chinese spyware being installed in the operating hardware of their cell phone technology.  The Biden administration has maintained that status.

However, despite the ban Hauwei ramped up lobbyist spending in the second quarter of this year. [Bloomberg] “Huawei spent $1.06 million in the second quarter of 2021, up from $180,000 in the first quarter this year, according to disclosures filed Tuesday. The company listed broadband and infrastructure bills as specific interests, as well as trade and a digital privacy measure.”

Today Politico is revealing that Tony Podesta, the infamous Democrat lobbyist who organized the money laundering system for the Clinton Foundation, has been hired as a lobbyist by Hauwei.

POLITICO – Huawei is hiring Democratic lobbyist Tony Podesta as a consultant, according to two people familiar with the matter. Podesta will aim to help the controversial Chinese telecom giant warm relations with the Biden administration.

Podesta will work to advance a variety of the company’s goals in Washington, according to one of the people. He declined to comment. A spokesperson for Huawei also declined to comment. (read more)

In 2018 the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General (DOJ-OIG) highlighted numerous FBI officials who accepted bribes from multiple media outlets including: “tickets to sporting events”, “golf outings”, “drinks and meals” as well as exclusive invitations and admission to “nonpublic social events” {Go Deep}.

Today the OIG expanded on the investigation that stemmed from that original outline, and published new findings.  Within the latest two page summary [pdf here], the “senior FBI official” is unnamed; however, prior research indicates it was former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe:

[Source pdf]

It is very frustrating to see that nothing is done to hold these corrupt FBI officials to account for such gross abuses of power and position.  The dual system of justice in the United States is creating a very serious collapse in credibility for multiple institutions of government.

In my opinion, the larger accountability issue is intentionally being handled this way as part of the “fundamental change” objective of the radical group behind the installation of Obama.  This is one continuum, and the lack of accountability is by design in the effort to perpetrate one ever-increasing, intentionally created crisis. The erosion of institutional credibility is a feature, not a flaw.

We are in a very precarious time, and must be careful as we are inundated by the openness of the corruption in the system.  The radicals want a reaction; they want a strong -perhaps violent- reaction; as that plays into their larger objective.   Misplaced anger toward the visibility of the corruption can be weaponized against us.

Once you take a nuclear action on something corrupt, there is no return.  The Obama-era weaponization of the intelligence apparatus for political purposes was one such nuclear action.  That weaponization was an escalation of action that forever sealed the need to hide it.

The intelligence apparatus, including the DOJ/FBI and aligned agencies, in addition to the DOJ officials within the Mueller probe, previously exploited their surveillance access to records and communication of Donald Trump and his administration.  Those intelligence operatives then spun and leaked parts of those records in order to build a fictitious Trump-Russia narrative and simultaneously distract from the prior unlawful surveillance.

Today the AP is reporting that Attorney General Merrick Garland is barring any DOJ office from seizing the communication of any journalists.  In essence Garland is providing cover for the prior and ongoing coordination of Intelligence Community leaks to media allies.  Remember, the Intelligence Branch operates as a public-private partnership; part of that purpose requires an alignment with corrupt U.S. media.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday formally prohibited federal prosecutors from seizing the records of journalists in leak investigations, with limited exceptions, reversing years of department policy.

The new policy largely codifies the commitment Garland made in June, when he said the Justice Department would abandon the practice of seizing reporters’ records in leak investigations.

In the United States we have the National Security Agency (NSA). The NSA collects all available metadata on almost all electronic devices worldwide that can be reached. Access to that database underpins the “Fourth Branch of Government,” the most powerful branch, the U.S. Intelligence Branch.

In addition to a global scraping of metadata, the NSA also collects the domestic private information of all Americans.  This was the essential background story that NSA Contractor Edward Snowden broke several years ago.   We now know this to be an accepted fact.

The United States internal political debate shifted from ‘should they do this’ to ‘how can we manage the people who do this‘?

The results over the last ten years of trying to manage the exploitation of this database have been a case study in failure.

Year after year, the NSA admits their control over the database is structurally flawed, essentially non-existent.  The fourth amendment protections of U.S. citizens have been erased, and now even U.S. government contractors are using the NSA database to monitor whoever and whatever they want.  Again, I repeat: ‘The Fourth Branch of government is a public-private partnership”.

However, beyond domestic exploitation, the NSA database is presumably only used by, accessed by and available to, the foreign allies that make up the “Five Eyes” partners. The U.S., U.K, Australia, Canada and New Zealand make up the allies within the Five Eyes intelligence apparatus. These allies have access to the same NSA database as U.S. operatives.

Putting aside how the NSA database is exploited inside the U.S. for a moment – if you are a government outside the Five Eyes system; and you wanted to spy on your own citizens and political enemies the way the NSA conducts surveillance on its own citizens; you would need some other access point to spy on your opposition. That’s where an Israeli company called NSO comes into the picture.  {Guardian Report}

There’s an interesting aspect to an Andrew Weissmann statement on MSNBC that almost everyone is missing.  Before watching the brief excerpt, let me put the comments into context.  Remember, the Intelligence Branch uses intelligence silos to protect themselves; however, the Intelligence Branch also violates those silos when ever they want.

First, Andrew Weissmann comes from the DOJ-National Security Division (DOJ-NSD).  More specifically, in that division Andrew Weissmann was in charge of the section that used FARA (Foreign Agent Registration Act), or FARA-951 as a weapon against their political enemies.

The only targets Weissmann ever selected for FARA investigations were political opposition. You might also remember it was Weissmann who led the Mueller team, and in that position Weissmann went after every target (Flynn, Rafiekian, Manafort, Papadopoulos, Phares, even Rudy Guiliani etc.) with accusations of FARA violations.

Second, the DOJ-NSD had no inspector general oversight.

During the Obama administration the DOJ-NSD exempted themselves from DOJ Inspector General review.  In 2015 the Office of the Inspect General (OIG) requested oversight and it was Deputy AG Sally Yates who responded with a lengthy 58-page legal explanation saying, essentially, ‘nope – not allowed.’ (PDF HERE) All of the DOJ is subject to oversight, except the NSD.

There is a very specific reason for this intentional avoidance of oversight as we found out through the Carter Page FISA warrant.  The DOJ-NSD is the weaponized mechanism against domestic political opposition inside the DOJ.  [Sidebar: I would not be surprised to find out the DOJ-NSD operatives used their FARA authorities to control and threaten political opposition around Washington DC, using lobbying investigations as leverage/blackmail.]

As the current story is told a whistleblower in the intelligence community told Tucker Carlson his communication was intercepted by the NSA.  By the NSA originating standard, the same standard they claim to uphold publicly, the NSA has a foreign intelligence mission; and their data collection is supposed to be in a silo related to foreign intelligence gathering.  If an American is picked up ‘incidentally‘ by the NSA collection, that information is supposed to remain inside that silo.

However, as you watch this MSNBC segment, notice how casually Andrew Weissmann says that Tucker Carlson should have gone to the DOJ (Main Justice) with any concerns about his communication being intercepted by the NSA.  Listen carefully to how Weissmann frames what Carlson “should have done” (prompted):

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.
