This afternoon U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley released the FBI witness statement known as the FD-1023 [Document pdf Here] that lies at the heart of the Biden bribery and corruption scandal.

BACKGROUND: Initially, the FBI refused to hand over the unclassified FD-1023 stating there is an ongoing investigation using the confidential human source who made allegations outlined in the document.  Remember, the allegations and the statement record were created in July of 2020, over three years ago.  The FBI refused to say the 6-page unclassified document existed.  After House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer told FBI Director Chris Wray, he had already seen the unclassified document via a whistleblower, then Wray admitted the FBI indeed had it.  On June 1st, the FBI refused to release the document, stating it was captive as part of an “ongoing investigation.”   Today, Chuck Grassley released it.

Tomorrow (Wednesday), the House Oversight Committee will hold a public hearing at 1pm ET, gathering information from two IRS whistleblowers who have come forward with evidence the DOJ and FBI pressured them to stop the investigation of Hunter and Joe Biden and their alleged bribery schemes.

Essentially, large payments were made by foreign governments, and affiliated businesses within China and Ukraine, to Joe and Hunter Biden in exchange for political policy.  The IRS agents investigating the case were blocked by DOJ and FBI officials during their investigation of the criminal activity.

Both IRS agents are going to testify publicly.

In advance of the testimony, a senior FBI supervisory special agent has now corroborated the claims made by both whistleblowers.

“Today, a former FBI supervisory special agent assigned to the FBI’s Wilmington office and the Biden criminal investigation confirmed key portions of the IRS whistleblower’s testimony. The night before the interview of Hunter Biden, both Secret Service headquarters and the Biden transition team were tipped off about the planned interview. On the day of the Hunter Biden interview, federal agents were told to stand by and could not approach Hunter Biden—they had to wait for his call. As a result of the change in plans, IRS and FBI criminal investigators never got to interview Hunter Biden as part of the investigation.”

“The Justice Department’s efforts to cover up for the Bidens reveals a two-tiered system of justice that sickens the American people. The Oversight Committee, along with the Judiciary Committee and Ways and Means Committee, will continue to seek the answers, transparency, and accountability that the American people demand and deserve.” (more)

In addition to officials from the DOJ serving in both the Trump and Biden administrations, AG Bill Barr and AG Merrick Garland respectively, the US attorney in Delaware is also now implicated in a cover-up effort to protect the Biden family.

With corrupt officials inside federal Law (DOJ) and Order (FBI) now accused of participating in the criminal conduct and coverup, congress remains the only viable mechanism for evidence and information to reach the public.

For those of us who have been trying to awaken people to the true nature of Republicans in the senate, aka “the Decepticons”, the latest self-admissions are very welcome.

According to interviews conducted by The Hill, several Republican senators are now saying they just cannot be members of the Republican Party if they are forced to represent the interests of the base voter.  These very specifically named Republicans have always been members of the UniParty in DC; however, now they are saying “populism” amid the commonsense, America First voting base is not going to be acceptable.

The senators are openly warning that if putting American interests first is going to be demanded by the voters, these Republicans will just become Democrats.   There is no reason for Americans to distrust the institutions the Republican senators support, and there will be no compromise or discussion.

What is making these Republican senators angrier is that who they consider to be intellectual and professional people are also demanding a more populist approach toward a government that represents the people.  This is just not going to be allowed according to Lisa Murkowski, John Thune, John Cornyn and the other names outlined.

WASHINGTON DC – […] “We should be concerned about this as Republicans. I’m having more ‘rational Republicans’ coming up to me and saying, ‘I just don’t know how long I can stay in this party,’” said Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska). “Now our party is becoming known as a group of kind of extremist, populist over-the-top [people] where no one is taking us seriously anymore.

“You have people who felt some allegiance to the party that are now really questioning, ‘Why am I [in the party?]” she added. “I think it’s going to get even more interesting as we move closer to the elections and we start going through some of these primary debates.

President Trump appears with Maria Bartiromo for a lengthy discussion about the current state of politics. {Direct Rumble Link} Within the interview both domestic and foreign policy issues are discussed as well as Trump’s perspectives on the candidates contesting to win the GOP nomination.

It is an interesting interview on many fronts as we look at the republican primary and the candidates who are situated on behalf of institutional and financial interests that oppose President Trump.  WATCH:

.

The war in Ukraine ends the moment Trump is elected. Russia keeps the eastern part where the U.S. was provoking unrest.  The U.S. stops trying to use Ukraine as a proxy provocation against Russia.  Ukraine stops doing stupid stuff, becomes independent of the USA, and takes care of its own people.  And with Trump’s assurance to Russia – Ukraine will not join NATO. Everything stops. Done.

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan represents the UniParty outlook from Washington DC.

From the position of influence and affluence, both Republican and Democrat policy makers are aligned in a unified outlook toward foreign policy and geopolitical affairs. Washington DC does not have two competing political parties on these issues; there is complete alignment and unidirectional focus.  Never forget that.

Before getting to the Sullivan points, I’m going to shift the discussion slightly, back to the core and explain something that might help provide context for issues from China to Russia and beyond.

Everyone in Washington DC agrees with the agencies and institutions that create the national security state.  The intelligence apparatus and the national security agencies frame the “interests of the U.S. government.” The politicians never push back against those agencies and the strategic policies they present as a solution.  This is important to accept as you contemplate the continued push only in one interventionist direction, regardless of American public opinion.

The only countervailing force that has ever entered the modern system against this dynamic was President Donald Trump. That is why the “system”, consisting of both Republicans and Democrats, together with every institution the system controls, was/is/are unified to repel Trump.

This hive mindset is critical to understand, because the central conflict, the perspective that Trump represents a threat, originates from whether the combined institutional administrative state is correct in their assessments or not.

The “system,” an assembly of career ideologues who define themselves by their sense of self-importance, never believe they are wrong about anything; therefore, every means is justified in their mind.  Any person who opposes their worldview is a threat.  Every threat then becomes a target.

From the interview it is clear that Ron DeSantis handlers have spent a considerable amount of time in intensive training on scripted talking points. Additionally, based on what is visible in the body language of DeSantis he’s juiced.

Watch how DeSantis is fidgeting with the microphone when Tucker is talking. Watch how DeSantis takes a drink of water. Look at the exaggerated mannerisms that are highlighted by a seemingly high-energy state.

Also notice DeSantis never answers a question, but sticks to rehearsed points. Not a single question is answered, despite Carlson asking specifics on Ukraine three times. WATCH:

There is one commonality amid all those who are skilled at the art of deception; one thing they all require in order to advance their position against their targets.  Every deceiver relies upon their ability to stop people from trusting their instincts.  This is why you will see me reminding everyone, repeatedly, to remain centered in your faith of a loving God, and TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.

In this short soundbite with Nikki Haley, Tucker Carlson asks the former U.N. Ambassador, “who blew up the Nordstream pipeline?”  Ambassador Haley is completely frozen and caught off guard.  Does she retain the neocon position, or does she tell the truth – she’s stuck.  WATCH: 

Beyond that response, think about something carefully.  In a field of multiple candidates where the issue of U.S policy toward Ukraine is being discussed as part of the format questioning, if there was one person in the entire group you would ensure received that question it would be the former UN ambassador.  However, for some seemingly incurious reason, Nikki Haley never received that question from Tucker Carlson.

Take from that reality what you will.  However, the reality of that question not being asked is real.  The full remarks from Nikki Haley are below.

Before getting to this rather jaw-dropping moment, let me first paint the Big Club agenda within it.  Everyone knows the Big Club is stressed about the inability of Ron DeSantis to launch a successful campaign.  Trillions are at stake, and they have invested hundreds of millions into the effort. Things are getting serious now.

You have heard me repeat it before; the Big Club it is a large network of aligned financial interests.  It does not take a lot of organization and/or the creation of some massive global conspiracy, to create outcomes of mutual benefit when the interests of the parties are aligned.

Bob Vander Plaats is a big Ron DeSantis supporter in 2024 as he was for Ted Cruz in 2016.  Team DeSantis in 2024 are the same people as team Cruz in 2016.  The network of Vander Plaats and team DeSantis are aligned in common interests.

Vander Plaats organizes the candidate summit knowing the person selected to moderate the discussion is against the interests of all GOPe candidates.  The outcome was predictable and by design.  Using their GOPe vulnerabilities Tucker Carlson eviscerates the DeSantis competition.

During a discussion of priorities, Mike Pence says the state of our USA is “not my concern.” Mike Pence will never recover from this.  WATCH:

This is not good. Apparently, the 20,000 additional troops sent to Europe last year bringing the total to 100,000 are not enough.

Earlier today Joe Biden signed an order activating 3,000 reserve troops to be ready for deployment as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve.  [White House Announcement]

WHITE HOUSE – “By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including sections 121 and 12304 of title 10, United States Code, I hereby determine that it is necessary to augment the active Armed Forces of the United States for the effective conduct of Operation Atlantic Resolve in and around the United States European Command’s area of responsibility.  

In furtherance of this operation, under the stated authority, I hereby authorize the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of Homeland Security with respect to the Coast Guard when it is not operating as a service in the Navy, under their respective jurisdictions, to order to active duty any units, and any individual members not assigned to a unit organized to serve as a unit of the Selected Reserve, or any member in the Individual Ready Reserve mobilization category and designated as essential under regulations prescribed by the Secretary concerned, not to exceed 3,000 total members at any one time, of whom not more than 450 may be members of the Individual Ready Reserve, as they deem necessary, and to terminate the service of those units and members ordered to active duty.” (link)

The sanctions levied against Russia by the collective West have essentially failed.  There is inconvenience within Russia amid ordinary citizens for global and economic transactions, but most of the govt transactions have continued.

On the opposite side of the consequence coin, absent the ability to purchase consumer goods on the global market, Russian domestic consumer independence has grown dramatically.  There is more stuff being made and created inside Russia, for Russians to purchase, than ever before.

I cannot see how the Russian GDP doesn’t benefit from this in the long-term.

Then again, I don’t buy the official Western narrative about the “horrible” life inside Russia, because I talk to ordinary middle class Russians who seem to have found a way to organize life without too much disturbance.

Russia is actually a case study in the elimination of imports and the economic outcomes therein.

It doesn’t suck to be a consumer; average Russians are doing fine, and it seems to get better over time.  Ironically, give them a few more years of Western sanctions, and Russia could be a manufacturing powerhouse.  Russia is a big country with a lot of raw material resources.

UNITED NATIONS, July 12 (Reuters) – U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has proposed to Russian President Vladimir Putin that he extend a deal allowing the safe Black Sea export of grain from Ukraine in return for connecting a subsidiary of Russia’s agricultural bank to the SWIFT international payment system, sources told Reuters.
