Outline of DOGE Approach and Legislative Branch Defenses Starts to Become Visible
There are four general aspects to the larger Trump legacy term that are starting to become very visible. This is the era when political change starts to become visible in real terms. We are all in the front row, on the cusp of a historic moment.
♦ The four generalized fronts are: (1) The economic front, which will be both domestic (Main St) and foreign (multinationals) as executed. (2) The IC/Justice front, which is inherently domestic. (3) The Legislative Branch front, this is where DOGE (Dept of Government Efficiency) comes into play; and lastly (4) The Dept of State confrontation with allies and enemies on all three other fronts.
Within #3, the legislative branch battle against the executive, this is where the spending issue, the purse strings, the power center dynamic over taxpayer distribution will be fought through the Dept of Government Efficiency, or DOGE led by Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy and a few key allies in both the House and Senate.
Because the nature of the DOGE battle is centered around money, the root issue is ultimately who controls the power within Washington DC. Control the money and you control the power. Inside this battle over spending the historic dynamic of the UniParty will be visible. Remember, Democrats want power, Republicans want money.
Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer have already started to position their defenses against DOGE and Trump {SEE HERE}. The committee chairs and vice-chairs are selected to keep the power of control of spending away from DOGE/Trump. Republican Chair Susan Collins, appointed by Thune/McConnell will not willingly let DOGE/Trump interfere in the way the Senate assigns funds. Ultimately this distribution is their power center.
DOGE is reported to be looking carefully at the Impoundment Control Act, challenging the system that places limits on a president’s ability to unilaterally withhold funding. According to Politico, Musk and Ramaswamy “believe the Supreme Court, which has three justices nominated by Trump, would be favorable to them.” The bottom line is the Executive v Legislative battle, where President Trump is going to try and reduce the size of government while congress keeps spending to maintain it.
In commonly held wisdom, traditional conservatives have always said government was spending too much, and reducing spending will limit the scale and reach of government. However, those same traditional “conservative” voices who call for spending cuts are the same people who previously called for ‘Obamacare repeal’, and when given the chance to do it – they disappeared. The Republican wing of the UniParty is full of those false conservatives, that’s why I call them DeceptiCONS.
One of the key people from inside the republican ranks on the upper chamber, is Senator Jodi Ernst. Currently she is positioning herself for influence and assist with DOGE; however, Ernst is not an honest broker when it comes to actually delivering a result. Like many of her colleagues, Ted Cruz, James Lankford and Mike Lee as examples, they talk a good game, write good op-eds, appear on Fox News, send strongly worded letters, and then do nothing.
Musk has the tool to drag these Republican DeceptiCONS into the sunlight via Twitter and a high dose of brutal honesty. However, before they accept the burn from sunlight, they will predictably seek comfort behind the protection of the lobbyists who fund the RNC, and the skirt of John Thune.
The voice of Mitch McConnell looms over the entire dynamic like the universal message in 2010 Space Odyssey, “All these worlds are yours, except Europa, attempt no landing there.” McConnell assuredly hoping to cement his legacy by creating an omnipotent and powerful Senate, far beyond the reach of any White House, temporary DOGE movement, or even voter intent.
I like the position that President Trump has taken amid this entire dynamic. Remember, he previously was burned by the DeceptiCONs when he gave them the option to repeal Obamacare.
President Trump has a priority agenda to create something much bigger than all of the component parts. RFK JR challenging food and health, Elon Musk challenging government size/spending, while President Trump focuses on the Trump Doctrine (economics and national security).
Poured the masonary & stucco mix on 11/20, Removed from form leaving plastic bag on the form on Friday. Leaving plastic on the form eliminated gouging and tearing of the leather when inserting in the new moccasisn
Soaked new leather moccasins in warm water for about 15 minutes letting water totally soak in. Inserted the shoe tree forms I made in each one which took a bit of doing, Let the moccasins dry until Sunday. Sunday I wetted the top of the heel part of the moccasins and pulled up the form to stretch the upper part as the form did not reach that high.
Just removed the stretching forms awhile ago. The moccasins match the old ones according to the shape of the old moccasins.
Put them on and they fit just right to the shape of my feet. No pinching felt.
That process saved a lot of foot dicomfort from breaking them in on my feet.

Jack Smith Files Motion to Dismiss Case Against President Donald Trump
Be of good cheer, the insufferable Lawfare attack was always going to end thusly. Special counsel Jack Smith has filed a motion to dismiss his criminal case against President-elect Donald Trump surrounding J6 and the proclaimed to subversion of the 2020 election.
In a 6-page filing [AVAILABLE HERE] Jack Smith says, “Justice Department policy prohibits him from continuing the case.” Smith is using the election as the justification to save face.
[Source]
The case was never about the merits of unlawful conduct targeting President Donald Trump. The case was always about Main Justice, via Lisa Monaco and the crew of lawfare ideologues, trying to influence the election outcome of 2024. The dismissal of the case was a foregone predetermined conclusion that was always going to surface after the election.
The reality behind this non-pretending perspective is exactly why the DOJ insiders were very nervous about Matt Gaetz.
Fearing Trump Compliance Demand – Mexico Quickly Looking for Alternatives to Chinese Parts and Components
Boy howdy, this article by The Associated Press is very telling.
First, it’s worth remembering that in the fine print of the USMCA deal, Mexico and Canada must comply with North American parts origination for anything they want to manufacture for sale into the United States. Meaning, all trade manufacturers must either create their component parts domestically, or purchase them from the U.S, Mexico and Canada. It’s the core point of the USMCA trade agreement.
Secondly, in an aspect exclusive to the U.S. part of the deal that President Trump and USTR Lighthizer insisted upon, if either Canada or Mexico are deemed to be non-compliant with the agreement, the USA can cancel/override any trade agreement Mexico or Canada have with another nation. It’s a heavy accountability hammer securing the gate into the massive USA market.
In an AP report today, Mexico is scrambling to find local or North American sources of parts and components, because President Trump is set to come into office and look at USMCA compliance. Apparently, Mexico has been using excessive amounts of Chinese component parts for goods being sent into the USA and Canada. Now they are quickly trying to source alternatives.
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico has been taking a bashing lately for allegedly serving as a conduit for Chinese parts and products into North America, and officials here are afraid a re-elected Donald Trump or politically struggling Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau could try to leave their country out of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement.
Mexico’s ruling Morena party is so afraid of losing the trade deal that President Claudia Sheinbaum said Friday the government has gone on a campaign to get companies to replace Chinese parts with locally made ones.
“We have a plan with the aim of substituting these imports that come from China, and producing the majority of them in Mexico, either with Mexican companies or primarily North American companies,” Sheinbaum said.
While Sheinbaum claimed Mexico had been working on that effort since the 2021 global supply chain crisis — when factories around the world were stalled by a lack of parts and particularly computer chips from Asia — it appears to be an uphill battle. Even the United States has faced big challenges in moving chip production back home despite billions in subsidies and incentives.
Mexico gained tens of thousands of jobs when U.S. and foreign automakers moved their plants to Mexico under the free trade pact to take advantage of much lower wages. But the idea that Chinese parts — or even whole cars — could be piggybacking on that arrangement to further hollow out the U.S. auto industry has enraged some people north of the border.
So Mexico is scrambling with private companies to get them to move parts production here.
“Next year, God willing, we are going to start making microchips in Mexico,” Mexican Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard said on Thursday. “Of course they’re not yet the most advanced chips, but we are going to start producing them here.” (read more)
It’s amazing how the results of a USA election can almost instantly change the behavior of multinational corporations and the governments’ they bribe.
However, it does lend a person to wonder why the Mexicans and Canadians didn’t have to worry about rule enforcement when Joe Biden was in office?
Russia Did Not Fire an ICBM Today, They Fired Something Much Worse – A Message
Despite the diminutive Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy jumping around and shouting about Russians firing an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) today, they didn’t. Instead, Russian President Vladimir Putin decided his response to the U.S-led NATO group firing missiles into the Russian Federation would be to send a message with a multi-warhead intermediate range hypersonic missile. {Background Message Context}
President Vladimir Putin said, “one of the newest Russian medium-range missile systems was tested in combat conditions, in this case with a ballistic missile in non-nuclear hypersonic edition.” The missile has a range of approximately 3,500 kilometers, below the threshold for the “Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT), that’s a reach throughout western Europe and the hypersonic message is likely, ‘you have no iron dome system that can prevent this.”
KYIV, Nov 21 (Reuters) – Russia fired a hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile at the city of Dnipro on Thursday in response to the U.S. and UK allowing Kyiv to strike Russian territory with advanced Western weapons, in a further escalation of the 33-month-old war.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a televised address, said Moscow struck a Ukrainian military facility with a new ballistic missile known as “Oreshnik” (the hazel) and warned that more could follow.
“A regional conflict in Ukraine previously provoked by the West has acquired elements of a global character,” Putin said in an address to the nation carried by state television after 8 pm Moscow time (1700 GMT).
A U.S. official said that Washington was pre-notified by Russia shortly before its strike, while another said they had briefed Kyiv and other close allies in recent days to prepare for the possible use of such a weapon.
Regardless of its classification, the latest strike highlighted rapidly rising tensions in the past several days.
Ukraine fired U.S. and British missiles at targets inside Russia this week despite warnings by Moscow that it would see such action as a major escalation. (read more)
The U.S, U.K and NATO war alliance, are desperate to provoke Vladimir Putin into expanded engagement prior to President-elect Donald Trump taking office. The NATO members, sans Biden, previously met in Brussels after the U.S. election to organize a strategy to Trump-proof their efforts.
Increasingly, it looks like Great Britain will lead the provocation effort, with full support of the U.S. war machine. We previously said to watch Moldova closely, because that strategic position would be the most likely place of western political influence to provoke Russia.
Indeed, as things are starting to unfold with increased urgency stimulated by the U.S. election outcome, now we see the U.K entering a new agreement for military defense of Moldova being prepositioned. Just today:
U.K Govt – […] A new UK-Moldova Defence and Security Partnership has also been launched today, building on extensive cooperation between the two countries and strengthening Moldovan resilience against external threats. This partnership will bolster support for the sovereignty, security and stability of Ukraine, helping to strengthen national security at home in the face of increasing Russian aggression.
[…] Foreign Secretary David Lammy said: Moldova is a vital security partner for the UK, which is why to reinforce their resilience against Russian aggression and to keep British streets safe, I am deepening cooperation on irregular migration and launching a new Defence and Security Partnership.
With Ukraine next door, Moldovans are constantly reminded of Russia’s oppression, imperialism and aggression. (Source)
As the design of the strategy appears to be unfolding, Great Britain – with U.S. covert operational support, will position themselves inside Moldova. NATO troops are already on the ground there, much to the anxiety of the average Moldovan.
The intellectually honest people of Moldova, using the reference point of prior activity by the U.S in Ukraine, clearly see themselves being set up as cannon fodder for western military usefulness. The GB/CIA/NATO team appear likely to use the geography of Moldova to provoke Russia into some form of response.
The U.K can then declare their troops under attack, and NATO can respond with mutual defense of the U.K pact, via Moldova.
The baseline for the continued need to avoid any cessation of hostilities in Ukraine, is financial. Blackrock and JPMorgan have exclusive rights to the “rebuilding” of Ukraine, with access to all the resources therein. {Link} Thus, there is an alignment of interests between Blackrock, JPMorgan, NATO the U.S. State Dept. and the internal operatives of the Biden administration.
At the same time, the Deep State (those who control Biden), the Intelligence Community, in combination with the anti-Trump DOJ-NSD (National Security Division), are using the increased hostility to bait President-Elect Trump into saying something contradictory about current U.S-NATO policy; a Logan Act violation.
So far President Trump has remained quiet, as the provocation against our peaceful interests are ongoing. For his part, Vladimir Putin has remained reserved and careful in his response; however, as U.S/NATO missiles continue to land inside the Russian Federation, there is concern that Putin’s restrained responses may indeed escalate.
We hope there are backchannels between Moscow and Mar-a-Lago; however, without any doubt the IC is looking to intercept any communication that might possibly be taking place. Everyone in/around the orbit of President Trump likely has Nat/Sec surveillance on them.
The industrial war machine is attempting to defend itself against any peace effort.
‘Troublesome’ is an understatement.
The soles on my old leather moccasins wore. Had them for many, many years and they were stretched and broken in to a perfect fit.
A few weeks ago I decided to purchase new leather moccasins that were for my foot size triple EEEs. They are the correct size but a bit small with having edema bouts up and down. When I tried using them my feet were pinched after a little while.
I set them to one side for the time being to decide how to break them in without pinching my feet. I looked at shoe trees but that did not appear to be a reasonable solution with wide feet. Then I thought about carving my own shoe tree the size of my feet. That seemed like a lenghty process to get them right.
Then a flash of lightning struck outside and the solution came to me.
I will use my old slippers as a form inserting a plastic food bag inside. Mix up enough pourable not to sloppy masonary mortar and stucco mix. Then pour the mix into the old moccasins filling to desired height. Just finished doing that today. I stuck two aluminum wire rods about five inches long in each pour to help stiffen the masonary form.
I wil let that set up and harden. Then I will remove the masonary form from the moccasins and see if it is useable for stretching the new leather moccasins.Should be a perfect fit for the shape of each foot.
If necccesary I can do grinding of the form using my angle grinder.
MAGA Pressure Worked – Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin Reverses Position, Will Now Support Matt Gaetz for AG
There is a lot going on in the background of the Gaetz nomination that I will get too shortly, much of the information from dozens of phone calls yesterday. In the interim, here is an outcome of YOUR pressure in combination with the Truth Social message from President Donald Trump.
Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin has reversed his position. He will now support Matt Gaetz for U.S. Attorney General. WATCH:
.
Senator Mullin was part of the strong opposition group to Gaetz. The public pressure is working. Keep sending them messages that we demand support. Great Job!
Reported Senate Offer: We’ll Give You Matt Gaetz in DOJ, if You Give us Mike Rogers in FBI
The “Big Ugly” was always a description of the battle that few understood. You cannot be betrayed by your enemies; that happens when your allies reveal themselves against your interests. Majority Leader John Thune will play his cards carefully in order to extract maximum damage.
The Senate is factually the core of republican opposition to MAGA and President Trump. The visible battle against Obama, Biden, Harris and the professional political left, always consumes the most attention. However, it is the less-visible battle against the entrenched ideological republicans that proves to be the hardest.
The Republicans in the upper chamber will not relinquish power easily. They have a multitude of weapons to use against the insurgency of President Trump supporters. We are seeing this play out now in the alignment of Republican Senators who stand in opposition to President Trump’s nomination of Matt Gaetz as U.S. Attorney General, and this recent report aligns with exactly the type of move we would expect.
The basic outline is that senate leadership will reluctantly support Matt Gaetz for Main Justice, where ‘support’ means they will not directly oppose; in exchange for the nomination of FBI Director Mike Rogers to defend their interests at FBI.
This is the typical type of deal the DeceptiCons are well known for.
Thune and McConnell (in background) have yet to reveal who they have planned to place in the chair positions of multiple committees. We are very interested to see who chairs the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence because that mutually dependent relationship is the core of the IC influence in the legislative branch. The same may be said for the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and ultimately the Gaetz nomination.
This recent report aligns with information we have received from the senate staff offices who are discussing the Gaetz nomination. Thune would not make such a proposal openly, for obvious reasons, but intermediaries would relay the message between the upper chamber and the transition team.
[SOURCE]
President Donald Trump would regret the day, if such terms were agreed. Former House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Mike Rogers is a well-known deep state operative who would be guaranteed to work closely with the Intelligence Community in opposition to the interests of those who would like to see the FBI reformed or structurally rebuilt.
Mike Rogers himself came from within the FBI and then went to congress where he carried the agenda of the FBI into the House Intel Committee. It was that IC agenda that led to the Rogers/Ruppersberger report exonerating Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for the Benghazi fiasco that led to Ambassador Chris Stephens murder.
There is no deal like this that is worth making. The DNI (Tulsi), DHS (Noem), HHS (RFK JR) and DOJ (Gaetz) nominations should stand on their own – along with a radical reform nomination, at best, for the FBI.
This type of deal is exactly how the IC can hunker down and avoid the sunlight of investigation upon their corrupt operations. This type of deal is how the counterintelligence division of the FBI can simply operate to protect the DOJ-NSD embeds that will attempt to remain in power within Main Justice. This type of deal is how the FBI remains entirely political.
The MAGA majority needs to keep leaning forward and telling the Senate republican representatives about their expectations for support. Don’t let the scheming and conniving Senate Republican “leadership” have an inch of breathing space.
NO DEAL!
FBI Whistleblower Says FBI Intentionally Blocking Security Clearances for Trump Officials
It should not come as a surprise to see the same methods deployed against President Trump in 2024 that were used by the FBI in 2016. The difference is now that President Trump understands the full power of his office in the security clearance process and that he doesn’t need the FBI.
In 2016 the FBI used their power to conduct security clearances as a tool to stall and block President Trump appointments. Historically this is one of the ways a very corrupt and political FBI interfere in any system that might be against the interests of the Intelligence Community that controls them. However, in 2024 President-Elect Trump and his transition team have already taken a different approach.
First the report:
WASHINGTON DC – An official at FBI headquarters in Washington is warning that the bureau’s security clearance division is politicized and can’t be trusted to screen President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees for top administration jobs.
The allegations of political bias at the FBI’s security division, or SecD, were revealed in a protected whistleblower disclosure sent to the House Judiciary Committee, which The Washington Times reviewed.
The official said the security clearance process has been “contaminated by the political agendas of [security division] officials and other executives in the FBI.” (more)
This is not any earth-shattering revelation. We painstakingly discussed this in a multitude of prior research discussions. The motive of the Whistleblower to come forth now, is likely because President Trump is already working around the problem.
WASHINGTON DC – President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team is skipping the protocol of using the FBI to conduct background checks, according to a report.
Instead, the president-elect’s team is turning to private companies to vet administrative appointees, people familiar with transition planning told CNN. Trump has criticized the FBI for its slow investigation process and feared it would delay his ability to roll out his agenda.
A security clearance is needed for some Cabinet positions, such as attorney general, and the process of obtaining one includes an FBI background check.
Dan Meyer, a national security attorney, told CNN Trump’s mistrust of the FBI and the deep state has made him go completely rogue. [They] “don’t want the FBI to coordinate a norm. They want to hammer the norm,” Meyer told CNN.
The Trump transition team’s decision to bypass the FBI background check comes as Trump has nominated former Reps. Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard for attorney general and National Intelligence director, respectively — both controversial picks. (more)
Because President Trump is making civics great again, it’s worth reminding everyone that President Trump has unilateral decision-making authority to grant anyone a security clearance. The President (atop the executive) can give anyone he chooses a top-secret security clearance status, simply by saying this person has top-secret security clearance. Yes, it really is that easy.
The President can choose his advisors and choose to share anything – even the most top-secret information in the country – with his advisors and cabinet members. That’s what we elect him/her to do; to use his/her judgement to make decisions.
This is one of the powers within the office that cannot be challenged by any other silo, branch or institution. The security clearance rules are what President Trump says the security clearance rules are.
There is no outside silo in the Executive Branch, who can supersede the decision of President Trump.
I was at Barnes & Noble and asked the clerk if they had Donald Trump’s new book on how to deport illegal aliens
She said, 'get the f**k out of here and don’t come back.'
I said yes, that’s the one. Do you have it in paperback?
Chuck Schumer Asks Republicans Not to End Filibuster and Continue Power of Minority – Republicans Say Meh, Okay
It has come to my attention that most of MAGA, specifically those who do not understand the history of Republicans in the Senate, support a return to Senatorial and Parliamentary norms, where 60 votes are needed in order to advance any legislative intent. [READ HERE] Stupid is, as stupid does.
Prior to the 2024 election, Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, promised to end the filibuster rule and change the Senate to a simple ‘majority rules’ body. However, in the aftermath of the 2024 election outcome, where Democrats are now in the minority, Chuck Schumer has a reversal of prior opinion and is requesting the Republican leadership to retain the filibuster rule – giving power to the Democrats who now hold minority position.
Into this mix of UniParty and DeceptiCon political constructs, the online MAGA community are now advocating for a return to old Senatorial rules where amendments can be offered to all bills proposed and the 60-vote threshold is retained for cloture, filibuster power and legislative passage.
Despite knowing Majority Leader Schumer was going to crush them, Senator Rick Scott, Senator John Cornyn and yes, now, Majority Leader John Thune, are taking the high road and promising to keep the power of the Democrat minority in place. A more apropos example of “Battered Conservative Syndrome” has never been so clear.
WASHINGTON DC – […] “The short version of that is: Please don’t do to us what we were going to do to you. Schumer is obviously concerned that Republicans might embrace a scheme to eliminate the filibuster and pass all sorts of consequential legislation with no Democratic input at all. That wouldn’t be bipartisan! Fortunately for Schumer, Republicans have been more principled than Democrats when it comes to the legislative filibuster, and to the filibuster in general. Republicans realize that even though they will have the majority for the next two years, they might be back in the minority at any time after that. So, Schumer will not get it good and hard the way he planned to give it to Republicans.” (more)
This is exactly how ‘republicanism’ infects the MAGA movement, ultimately and predictably positioning the future republican voters frustrated and shouting at trees. Democrats, together with Mitch McConnell and John Thune love this, because it retains their lucrative business model.
Let me start by reminding the MAGA victims, that’s YOU, of the position of Democrats:
Apparently, the high-minded influencers within the MAGA community have seemingly forgotten about this intent.
Next, let us move to the reality of what the GOP is planning to do, and remember Scott, Cornyn and Thune all agree on this.
The return of amendments to the Senate bills brings with it retention of the filibuster and ‘cloture’ 60-vote threshold.
Taking the first part first, those amendments have a name. During the Obamcare fiasco you might remember a few of them: “The cornhusker kickback” (Nelson), “The Louisiana Purchase” (Landrieu), the “Florida Gator Aide” (Nelson). These “amendments” are purchases of Senator’s votes with sweetheart closed-door deals, they are not enhancements to the bill, they are bribes for support.
Now the second part. Presume a 55/45 split. The Majority needs to purchase votes from the minority in order to reach 60. That’s where “amendments” offer the highest price. K-Street Lobbyists pay for minority senators to support the amendment. Lots of money is made.
Mitch McConnell and Harry Reid were not in opposition to each other on the business end of this process. Their personal wealth benefitted greatly.
The high-minded MAGA Republicans are advocating for returning to, and retention of, this process.
History: After Scott Brown became #41, Leader Harry Reid had to begin purchasing votes from Mitch McConnell. However, the American public were holding the GOP feet to the fire. Eventually Reid just said, “screw it” and dropped the vote threshold for final bill passage to a simple majority, 51.
The Senate retained the 51-vote passage, with the exception of “cloture votes” or votes to close debate, along with ‘filibuster breaking thresholds’ which still needed 60. Essentially, McConnell/Reid were not stupid, they did not want to give up the business model. So, 60 cloture votes and filibuster remained.
The Cloture Votes also provided the Deceptive Conservatives, DeceptiCons, the opportunity to vote yea on cloture, then vote against the bill. Senator Ted Cruz is the #1 Republican who uses cloture voting as a mask. Cruz often votes yea on cloture (supporting the bill) and nay on the bill itself (thereby denying he ever supported it). It’s a good cover, and they all use it.
Obviously, McConnell didn’t want to be the one to change the lucrative construct of Harry Reid, so he retained the non-amendment part and the 51-vote simple majority part. Then McConnell lost the Senate, again.
However, suddenly, the GOP are back in the majority and now Rick Scott (and presumably John Cornyn) wants to give the power back to the minority. McConnell’s protege’ John Thune learned well from the knee of the master.
Leader John Thune has no issue giving the GOP power in the Senate away, adding back the lucrative process of amendments, and returning the threshold to 60 votes for bill passage. However, he had to pretend it was some astronomical exhibition of magnanimity in order to gain maximum value from the illusion of doing what he always supported.
Thune says as leader I will return to regular order, amendments, voting thresholds and the pre-Harry Reid processes. Everyone cheers.
The republicans are now in the majority and have changed the structure to add amendments and give stronger power to the minority.
THE RESULT – President Trump’s agenda will be more difficult to pass (higher threshold and stronger opposition position), but somehow MAGA cheers for Senate Majority Leader John Thune (see thread).
Battered Conservative Syndrome.
Wash-Rinse-Repeat…. Then everyone will look oddly when the base of voters throws up their arms in frustration and the Senate flips back during Trump’s 2026 midterm election.
Why should a Republican Senate majority take their foot off the gas and allow the Democrats to retain the power of the minority. They hold no similar disposition when in power.
I say, crush them.
Advance the MAGA agenda. Crush the opposition and give Republicans in 2026 a reason to go out and make the prior election even more resounding.
President Trump Announces Nomination of Doug Burgum for Interior Secretary and Chair of New National Energy Council
President Trump has announced the nomination of North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum to head the Department of the Interior and also Chairman of a newly formed cabinet-level National Energy Council (energy Czar).
[Source]
Very interesting move, not in the appointment of Burgum, but in the duality of a method to tear apart the Dept of Interior Silo.
As the American people are starting to become aware of a return to civics, the President of the United States has absolute power within the Executive branch and absolute immunity for everything he defines as an official act of his office.
By appointing Burgum as the Interior Secretary and simultaneously the appointed energy-sector representative of the president, carrying the full weight and authority therein, there is no way for the institutional bureaucracy of the climate change officials inside the agency to block any changes decreed by President Trump within the mandate of the Energy Czar.
Secretary Burgum will sit at the top of the Dept of Interior organization, AND Czar Burgum will sit inside every agency, office, and subsidiary department that has anything to do with “American Energy” production/regulation.
A very strong power move. I like it.
Burgum would lead a new National Energy Council comprising all agencies and departments involved in the production, regulation and transportation of “ALL forms of American Energy.” … “This Council will oversee the path to U.S. ENERGY DOMINANCE by cutting red tape, enhancing private sector investments across all sectors of the Economy, and by focusing on INNOVATION over longstanding, but totally unnecessary, regulation.”
Recap of Appointments So Far:
.
See how this attempt at going after Gov'T waste works out.
They will be fighting over cost cutting tooth and nail.
They may even find illegal activity in Gov't spending.

Good Sign – President Trump Announces No Position for Nikki Haley or Mike Pompeo in New Administration
President Trump has announced on Truth Social there will be no position for former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley or Former CIA Director and Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, in the next administration.
♦ Nikki Haley directly blamed President Trump for the violent events during January 6, 2021, and said, “I don’t think [Trump’s] going to be in the picture,” she said, matter-of-factly. “I don’t think he can. He’s fallen so far.” […] “We need to acknowledge he let us down,” she said. “He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.”
Haley cares about one thing, her own position and power – that’s it. She really is the worst type of politician you can fathom. [SEE RESEARCH HERE] Nikki Haley was supported and funded by infamous CIA Acting Director Mike Morell. Haley was a tool of the “six ways from Sunday” group.
♦ Mike Pompeo used his position of influence to install Senator Dan Coats as Director of National Intelligence during the first administration, with the mission objective to hamstring President Trump and ensure the “six ways from Sunday” group could lead the internal attacks.
ODNI Dan Coats operated to block all declassification efforts of President Trump during the first administration until he was ultimately fired, too late, and replaced by Acting DNI Ric Grenell; later replaced by DNI John Ratcliffe.
♦ Mike Pompeo misled President Trump about issues of national intelligence, blocked any information adverse to the interests of the “six ways from Sunday” group, and operated a stealth mission to destroy the presidency. That agenda included lying to President Trump about military engagements, CIA activity, foreign missions and organizing military attacks without the approval of the Commander in chief.
While doing this, Mike Pompeo attempted to organize a covert assassination effort against Julian Assange, and later worked with the corrupt interests inside the Robert Mueller team and DOJ-NSD to exfiltrate Assange from the Ecuadorian embassy in London (joint black-ops mission with GCHQ) with hopes to finish the Assange operation in prison. {GO DEEP}
.
CONTEXT – […] (3) Joint Chief Chairman Milley, and SoS Mike Pompeo traveled to Mar-a-Lago in December 2019, where they informed President Trump of military strikes in Syria and Iraq *after* they took place. [Background Here] [Background Here]. President Trump made Esper, Milley and Pompeo hold a press conference without Trump supporting them; then President Trump remained silent on the issue for days.
It seemed like CTH was alone in noticing the issues with the Pentagon and suspicions of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley. However, a few days after the Mar-a-Lago incident, Col Douglas Macgregor expressed his own suspicions about the U.S. military attack in Iraq and Syria that paralleled our gut reaction. Macgregor stated he believed President Trump was being intentionally and “skillfully, misinformed”. [GO DEEP]
.
Perhaps this is the first indication President Trump is breaking out of theinformation silo system that surrounds him.
It would certainly be the first SIGNT to the intel community that President Trump is aware of hidden agendas.
Pray for President Trump’s continued physical safety.
Notice How Calm it is?…
Do you notice the absence of all the things that were proclaimed as destined to happen by the Moonbats?
No riots, no mayhem, no burning crisis and mass protests; essentially quiet.
What we discover during this phase is that an unstable leftist population of 0.1% is not being stirred up by the Intelligence Community and the ideological leftist media who support them. Both the IC and their media are frozen.
There is that phase in every abusive relationship when the abuser has run out of manipulation that works. They realize their victims are numb to their efforts; things get quiet.
Worse still for Democrats, the grassroots believers are in full retreat because they are realizing they were gaslit into believing Kamala would win. The leftist influencers are losing their army of foot soldiers who believed them in mass. The dawn of the Great Awakening is upon us.
As Collin Rugg noted, “Dem influencers are seeing record numbers of subscription cancelations along with a mass exodus of followers causing an “algorithmic de subscription spiral.”…. Leftist influence leader David Packman is provided as an example below.

Suggestions For President Donald Trump Staffing of Key Positions 2025
Grab your favorite beverage, this is long.
For two years I was asked to present thoughts on potential candidates for offices in/around the Trump administration if they can achieve victory in the 2024 election. Essentially, if Trump wins, “who” would be best in “what” positions?
I was extremely reluctant to put something together because ultimately, I look at the challenges with a different perspective. Additionally, I am not confident that key people around Donald Trump fully understand the complexity of the problem, and as a result would not absorb the context of any suggestions I might offer.
However, having spent the past 18 months traveling, quietly tracking, methodically researching, looking, listening; digging deep in the places that few understand or pay attention to, and after careful thought, prayer and reflection, I began to think that perhaps a slight change in the presentation might actually be beneficial.
Thus, I began in July of 2024, writing very specifically about who might be best suited for roles and responsibilities. Not from the perspective of the person per se’, but rather from the perspective of a fully understandable context for the position; the reality of what can be pragmatically accomplished, and detailed reasoning for why the challenge they will face exists.
This is a beginning with the end in mind approach.
It is NOT my intent to provide a private list of recommendations. What I wanted to do was set a cornerstone of how each role could, predictably, be anticipated to engage with each challenge; then, ultimately, what I believe they will have to do in order to make progress.
The result was a public series of non-pretending presentations, where all of the traditional civic perspectives that people carried might be challenged.
Roles and responsibilities are only valuable if we define and accept the problem from the same perspective. It is with that thought in mind that such an undertaking begins.
With success in the 2024 election, President Trump will have one 4-year term to begin charting a new course within our government.
President Trump cannot be expected to fix or repair all of the damage created within our Constitutional Republic in one term. However, it is possible for President Trump to set the cornerstones in place that ensure the greatest likelihood of success for a modern restoration.
What we are facing is like the Eye of Sauron. I am not going to repeat the background context for how the current landscape was created. That is available HERE, within the discussion of the Fourth Branch of Government. Under the CTH category filing system in the right-hand margin, you will now find a sub-category “2025 – Term 2” under the primary category “President Trump.” All of these articles are there, as published.
The current staffing challenge is about removing the cancerous cells that have been seeded deep within the institutions.
The Intelligence Community created the disease, then used the politicians to sell the cure.
In the era shortly after 9/11, the DC national security apparatus was constructed to preserve continuity of government and simultaneously view all Americans as potential threats. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) were created specifically for this purpose. Then things went sideways… (more)
The challenge is obviously multifaceted with three infected systems, co-equally corrupt branches, attacking both domestic and foreign policy against the interests of the American people.
President Trump can address the Executive Branch directly; all other aspects are ancillary to the executive policy. The Legislative Branch fix is then dependent on We The People, and the Judicial Branch fix is an outcome of both.
Within the staffing question, we must begin with a common understanding. Domestically we have authorities created by the Patriot Act, ODNI and DHS to contend with. Externally we have the State Dept and CIA collaboration that also feeds into the larger operational missions of the Intelligence Community. It is this IC that now dominates all issues of consequence, and it is from this perspective we must first address any restoration context.
♦ Executive Policy – Domestic Consequences. There are five or six key positions, most of them holding deputy positions in support. Again, this is from my own boots on ground review, real-time research shared, understandings discovered, and earnest challenges identified.
Within the executive branch, directly connected to the office of the presidency, the six primary domestic IC-centric positions of consequence are:
President Trump Emissary – no confirmation needed.
President Trump National Security Advisor – no confirmation needed.
White House Counsel – no confirmation needed.
Director of the Office of National Intelligence (DNI).
Director of the National Security Agency (NSA).
Secretary of the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS)
And then come the Secretary of State (DoS), and the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). These two are combined because they operate collaboratively as one larger silo with two divisions.
Like a restaurant with a front dining room (State Dept.) and a back kitchen (CIA). The front is visible, the back is not visible. The front cannot function without the back, and the back is dependent on the front for business pretenses. The front is the head, the back is the neck. I am pulling DoS and CIA out of the domestic aspect, along with the Defense Dept (DoD) for a reason that will be identified later.
Overall, each of these BIG silos operates what we call the “National Security” system. They have smaller silos within them, but generally for the intents of the first few positions, these are the critical parts. Emissary, NSA, White House Counsel, ODNI and NSA.
Already, you are probably saying, “wait, what is this emissary thing?” Good. That’s part of the dropping civics non-pretense.
President Trump had before, and will even more critically need again, an exceptional emissary who can convey his thoughts, words and intents to other people – unincumbered by the system itself.
Without the emissary, the embeds within the current national security system will build walls to keep the office of the president isolated.
Those who retain the silo process as an institutional construct to control events, must be confronted by using a process within a system they cannot control. The President must be able to reach out from his office, to execute the Trump Doctrine of ‘economic policy driving national security outcomes’, without going through the national security matrix. That’s the importance of the emissary.
By now, everyone should understand the Trump Doctrine: “Economic Security is National Security.” Every successful outcome that benefits Americans comes from the expressed policy of using economics as a tool and a weapon to achieve security, domestically and abroad.
I am going to begin with a discussion of the “Emissary.” Their role, their responsibilities, the challenges they face, the personal characteristics and traits needed, how they interact within the system and a full understanding of exactly how critical this person is for the voice of the office of the president.
Two Big Picture Contextual Articles:
Next, we begin the specifics. Who should be the emissary?
♦ The Emissary – Without a doubt in my mind, the “emissary” is the most important person President Trump will select.
The Washington DC Intelligence Community (IC) actively work to isolate the office of the president. This is an almost impossible dynamic to avoid, caused by an entrenched and ideological adversary who has dug themselves deep into the apparatus of government.
The “emissary” is the person who carries the word of President Trump to any person identified by President Trump. The emissary is very much like a tape recording of President Trump in human form. The emissary travels to a location, meets a particular person or group, and then recites the opinion of the President. The words spoken by the emissary, are the words of President Trump.
The IC cannot inject themselves into this dynamic; that is why this position is so valuable.
The emissary then hears the response from the intended person or group, in almost all cases a foreign leader, repeats their intent back to them to ensure he/she will return with clarity of intent as expressed, and then returns to the office of the presidency and repeats the reply for the President. The emissary recites back exactly what he was /is told.
This process is critical when you understand how thoroughly compromised the full Executive Branch is. More importantly, this process becomes even more critical when you accept the Intelligence Community will lie to the office of the President to retain their position.
Read this next sentence slowly…. If the Senate confirms a director of an IC silo, then that director is demonstrably going to lie to the office of the President.
The Senate only confirms Intelligence Community leadership who are willing to LIE to THE PRESIDENT. This is just a factual reality.
If the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) confirms them, they will lie. That is the main role of the SSCI.
The people who constructed the Silos then metastasized the control rot within them, use the term “continuity of government,” to describe the true role and responsibility of the system. This is not factually wrong.
Where people go wrong is misunderstanding what the “continuity” is that is being maintained. Truly, the continuity of government is the priority. However, it’s the continuity of currently corrupt and immoral government we are now maintaining.
The CIA Director will lie to President Trump (they did, remember). The FBI Leadership will lie to President Trump (they did, remember). The AG will lie, the DNI will lie, the NSA will lie, and all the deputies therein will lie.
Washington DC puts it this way, you probably heard Bill Barr talking about ad-infinitum. The IC leadership is responsible for maintaining the “continuity of government” at all costs. The government is more important than The President.
If the continuity of government is maintained by lying to the office of the President, then so be it. Or, as James Comey said when justifying his lies to the President and his manipulation on March 20th, 2017: “because of the sensitivity of the matter.”
You can get as angry as you want about this, it’s just the DC system that exists. We must deal with what exists, not what we would pretend there to be.
If a candidate for an IC position is not willing to lie to the President, the Senate will not confirm him/her. This is why President Trump needs an emissary.
The role of the emissary is critical, the qualifications for that role are extremely important.
Remember, this person is speaking on behalf of President Trump. And representing the responding voice with a similar level of clarity.
The emissary must be of incredible moral character. They must be honest. The person should be entirely altruistic. They must have exceptional judgement, possess no ego, be impervious to scrutiny or review. They must maintain themselves at the highest moral standards at all times and exhibit incredible judgement and wisdom.
Due to the nature of the position the emissary is extremely powerful; therefore, a disposition of humility is also critical. The President must be able to trust this person without reservation or issue. At the same time, the entire weight of the U.S. Intelligence Community apparatus will seek to compromise the emissary, as they try to put walls around the President who holds silo-busting power.
Honesty, integrity, humility, trustworthiness, unimpeachable character and exceptional judgement, establish the baseline of traits the emissary must possess.
This is a choice that will be deeply important to President Trump. Fortunately, it is not a position that requires any confirmation or external approval. Judgement, discernment, wisdom and silence are the strength characteristics.
From my perspective, I can think of few candidates, Dr Ben Carson, perhaps Sarah Palin, or perhaps someone from the private sector. Quite simply, there’s very few who carry the level of trust necessary to engage in the role. However, I could be wrong – I do not know the sum total of the people in the life of President Donald J Trump. The bottom line, he will need an emissary.
For the next position/person a little-known secret needs to be understood, perhaps revealed.
Within the global intelligence apparatus there is only one nation with tentacles that compare to the Israeli intel operation. The Mossad was created in both mission and specific operational purpose over many decades. They only have one rival, one quiet and almost unknown national intelligence apparatus that is practically more comprehensive than even the 5-eyes system. That nation is Portugal. Portuguese ambassadors operate all over the world as quiet sponges for information, the U.S. intel system knows this very well.
The National Security Advisor to the President is another of the key roles within the White House that is critical to defend against the weaponized Intelligence Community. In a second term as president, we anticipate Donald Trump will again face opposition from both parties in congress and from every created silo operation in the administrative deep state.
Accepting in advance that any appointees to the Executive Branch agencies in charge of the Intelligence System, are not going to be able to change the outcomes from within those agencies, then strategizing how to confront the rogue intelligence state becomes a more honest exercise.
The National Security Advisor is going to have to navigate an intelligence community that is fully weaponized and adverse to the interests of the White House. Every element of the IC, the “six ways to Sunday” team, will work actively and behind the scenes to undermine the office of the President. Any attack vectors will be fully exploited, by the IC and nothing should be considered out of bounds.
The leaders of the CIA, FBI, DIA, DHS and NSA will all lie to the President. That’s what these institutions do now. They are part of the 4th branch of government, and they consider themselves omnipotent due to the structure of the legislative changes and oversight after 9-11. Notice I left out the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, ODNI, I did that on purpose.
The NatSec Advisor to President Trump is going to have to work through an entirely weaponized fourth branch of government in order to survive it, let alone destroy it. As a consequence, the Nat Sec Advisor needs to be a person with deep understanding of how the intelligence system inside Washington DC works, as well as carrying a profound distrust for them.
Any person who trusts any product created by the IC should be immediately disqualified from any position in our constitutional government. Additionally, any person who intentionally maintains the system of pretending (Robert Mueller was honorable etc.), is automatically disqualified.
The National Security Advisor does not need to be confirmed. The NSA person is unilaterally picked by President Trump, and the entire executive branch was just reminded by SCOTUS that POTUS is in charge of everything. This should be a big arrow in the quiver of the NatSecAdvisor.
The National Security Advisor is also the chair of the National Security Council (NSC). The NSC is the working group in the White House specifically tasked with formulating analysis on events from their skills on specific issues. The National Security Advisor does the NSC hiring and firing. Trump needs a lot of firing assistance.
When the IC was weaponized by George W Bush and Barack Obama, the DNI fulcrum point was never used much as part of the process. The DNI sits at the center of all intelligence information and maintains the pivot on the National Security Radar that now sweeps a full circle.
Prior to the Patriot Act the national security radar swept outward from the border looking at national security threats overseas. Back and forth, back and forth, the radar swept looking for foreign adversaries who might target the USA. The Patriot Act put a ball joint on the radar that now conducts surveillance sweeps in a circle, including over all Americans.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) was created to be the depository for all intelligence products. Intelligence assembled on foreign threats (CIA) can be reviewed by domestic handlers (FBI and DHS). When Bush created the office and later when Obama weaponized the office, they installed people who would just go along with whatever the FBI side and CIA side told them to do. The ODNI was created to be the stupid pivot man.
However, looking at the system in totality, it is my belief that if a really smart person was in the ODNI position, they could control a great deal and even impede the activity happening both domestically (FBI/DOJ) and abroad (DoS/CIA). I believe the DNI can crush the system, if the person really looked carefully at their power in the pivot location.
The DNI can control information. The DNI can starve the beast.
Just like the State Dept and CIA work hand in glove to make a mess of the world, so too can the Nat Sec Advisor and DNI work together to deconstruct the domestic intelligence system. In this process, information is the key. The DNI can control the information, making it harder for the IC Silos to lie to the National Security Advisor.
[NOTE: control of information is also why the Director of the National Security Agency is also important. The Director of the NSA is essentially the librarian for all data. The librarian can control who enters the library if the right people in the Executive Branch (POTUS, Nat Sec Advisor and ODNI) give the Director of the NSA that power (executive action). More on that later.]
The National Security Advisor (hereafter *NSA) needs to be a person who has a comprehensive understanding of the Silos, and a willingness/desire to take them apart.
The *NSA needs to be exceptionally smart, profoundly insightful, intensely strategic, and with a comprehensive knowledge of the DC system. The *NSA also needs to be stable from attack by the IC defense system. The ideal *NSA will have an income from outside government that cannot be impacted by the schemes of the IC. The *NSA also needs to be very stable, grounded, logical and thoughtful.
This set of character traits, in combination with the knowledge needed, disqualifies almost everyone in DC. Steve Bannon is a chatterbox who doesn’t know when to keep his mouth shut, and he has a massive ego. Kash Patel is not strategic enough and maintains the pretending game in order to present himself as a man of value. Peter Navarro is loyal but has some of those key judgement issues that can be exploited by the IC, and he’s not very smart.
Former Nat Sec Advisor Michael Flynn disqualified himself from further consideration by poor judgement. Don’t forget, Flynn was an agent for a foreign government (Turkey 2016) and never told candidate Trump, thereby setting the Trump administration up for compromise. Flynn then claims he didn’t see the risk of an FBI interview in his office and never told the White House Counsel of his intent to be interviewed by the FBI. You cannot claim Flynn is smart and reconcile that with his stupidity.
Lastly, Mike Flynn is a deeply connected friend and associate to General Stanley McChrystal. I will say no more.
All of the previous names might be good additions to the National Security Council, but no way should any of those names get close to a position where their failure to deliver can cause damage to the larger goal.
As a result, there is a very small field of candidates, very small, who might be able to pull off the role of National Security Advisor. At the top of that list is probably Devin Nunes. I qualify with a “probably” because Nunes has one massive Achilles heel in my opinion.
Devin Nunes believes in the intelligence system. He believes in the FISC and FISA (702). Nunes believes in large aspects of the surveillance state, and he believes in the roles and responsibilities within government as it pertains to the Intelligence Community.
Nunes believes the system is good, and it is just being operated by bad people. This is where Mr Nunes and I diverge. However, I am willing to undermine my position and say that perhaps we need a person who believes in government. Maybe that’s the type of character trait that can be a good benefit. I don’t know. Maybe I’m too jaded and just want it all stripped down to nothing.
What I do know, is that Devin Nunes would never intentionally screw stuff up, and he’d never intentionally undermine President Trump. Nunes is super loyal, and he loves our country.
I don’t know if he would take the job of National Security Advisor (he would probably want CIA director). However, with a strategic partner in the DNI office, Devin Nunes could give us a solid chance.
♦ White House Cousel – There are many very important positions related to the expectations we hold for President Trump. Having spent years deep inside the actual workings of the current professional DC silos, I can tell you most of those expectations are very challenging to achieve.
In one 4-year term President Trump can set the cornerstone for a reconstruction effort that will take at least 15 years. [Reference, Team Obama used 18+ years to create it (January 2007 to present)].
My goal is to describe the needs of some critical positions from a very practical, non-pretending, perspective of what happens within specific offices. I already discussed two critical positions that do not require IC approval (Emissary and NatSec Advisor) now I outline a third, the White House Counsel.
The Office of White House Counsel does not need IC/Senate approval.
The Office of the White House Counsel (WHC) is the gatekeeper to the Office of the President. The White House Counsel does not represent Donald Trump; the WHC represents the office of the presidency and the person fulfilling the duty of the presidency. For the interests of an effective White House Counsel, who is president is irrelevant; they are guarding the office.
The WHC is critical because it is the advice and opinion of the lawyer in this role who can completely hamstring a President, block a President and ultimately control a President. The WHC also party controls access to the Office of the President, if the person seeking access is determined detrimental to the “office of the president.”
Essentially a legal gatekeeper, with the job to protect the office of the President (not Donald Trump the person), the White House Counsel is very critical. Understanding that lawyers in general are averse to risk, and understanding a White House primary lawyer would be exceptionally averse to risk, most White House counsel office holders are predisposed to create the concentric circles of protection around the office.
The WHC coordinates the collapse of the concentric circles when major crisis unfolds. Starting on the perimeter the WHC organizes the people who will take responsibility for a major problem, with the goal in mind to keep the collateral damage as far away from the office as possible. Like a mob lawyer, the consigliere will tell a person when they must take the blame -self immolate- and exit the White House for the good of the office etc.
That said, there was a very important facet to the White House Counsel’s office that failed in Trump’s first term. This failure cannot be repeated.
In Term-1 the opinion of the White House Counsel was to block all declassification efforts that did NOT have the full support of the Intelligence Community (IC). The IC always knows the White House is averse to risk and the IC weaponize the fear of the WHC against the office of the President.
The declassification process is a request by an agency, including a superior agency like the President of the United States, to the Intelligence Branch asking for them to release the information. The Intelligence Branch again holds full unilateral control.
If the head of the CIA refuses to comply with the declassification instruction of the President, what can the president do except fire him/her? {Again, GO DEEP} How does the President replace the non-compliant cabinet member? They have to go through the SSCI confirmation. See the problem?
In Term-1 the IC message to the WH Counsel was that if Donald Trump declassified any documents, they would use the DOJ (special counsel weapon) to attack the office of the president for “obstructing justice.” The WHC was fraught with fear over what would happen and demanded that POTUS Trump stop trying to declassify information/documents the IC didn’t support.
The IC was trying to take out Donald Trump and the WHC in essence supported their objective because the WHC was only focused on threat mitigation. In term-2 these threats are going to be of even greater significance. The IC is now in a zero-sum game.
The IC has evolved into the superseding, omnipotent 4th branch of government. If Trump wins, the IC are potentially going to be removed or at least greatly diminished. Ergo, the IC will do anything to stay in power. It is exceptionally critical for the next term Trump White House Counsel understand this. The next WHC needs to be as brave as they are legally smart and strategic.
The next WHC needs to be brave for the office, empowering for President Trump, and stand as a flea against a furnace created by the IC and Lawfare system if that is what’s needed.
The next WHC needs to look carefully at the recent SCOTUS decision about the unilateral power of the President within the Executive Branch and lean heavily into that decision; fully extending the power and influence of the Office of the President against the full system of every Executive Branch agency. Each silo needs to be confronted, and it is going to take a very bold WHC to support this effort.
The recent Supreme Court decision gives tremendous power, ABSOLUTE POWER within the Executive Branch, to the President. This is not a time for the WHC to be timid, afraid or risk averse. This is a time for the WHC to spread the wings of the Eagle and sharpen the talons for use against corrupt and weaponized agencies. In short, go on the attack.
Strategic support for the goals and objectives of the President and National Security Advisor, should be the primary filter of consideration for the White House gatekeeper.
The counselor must be smart, killer smart; brutally strategic; cunning and fully versed in how the dark arts will come against them. Prior experience as a target by the same system they now confront should be considered an asset.
The person filling the role of WHC must have exceptional constitutional knowledge and capabilities to guide and counsel the key people in/around the office of the President. Not with the intent to stop the objective, but with the intent to support the objective by telling the scouts and strategic weapons “what” they will face and “where.”
There are some really good lawyers who can fill this role; however, every top-tier candidate must be filtered through the prism of stability, background, the lack of attack vectors against them and keen judgement in all facets of prior political experience. They must also have a disposition of attack, not defense. The WHC needs to push forward, not guard as much.
For this reason, I would love to see a brilliant and snarky lawyer like Eric Dublier take the job; but I doubt he would take it. Another strong possibility would be John Eastman.
John Eastman has been the target of the weaponized IC and Lawfare. He has a brilliant mind, strong constitutional understanding, and, well, perhaps most importantly, he has a personal reason to be pissed off about the current status of our Executive Branch agencies. In the position of White House Counsel, John Eastman Esq would trigger spontaneous ‘splodey heads just from the announcement itself.
A collaboration between John Eastman and Jeffrey Clark would be good strategic positioning. However, President Trump needs to be keenly aware that a team of “professionally republican advisors” will try to steer his options toward lawyers they know will retain the status quo.
♦ The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) – Remember, my goal is to describe the needs of some critical Executive Branch positions from a very practical, non-pretending, perspective of what happens within specific offices. This outline is going to be a little odd, because almost no one knows what the position of Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) is about.
The ODNI was created as an outcome of the 9-11 Commission recommendations. In the era shortly after 9/11, the DC national security apparatus was constructed to preserve continuity of government and simultaneously view all Americans as potential threats.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) were created specifically for this purpose.
Washington DC created the modern national security apparatus immediately and hurriedly after 9/11/01. DHS came along in 2002, and within the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 the ODNI was formed.
When Barack Obama and Eric Holder arrived a few years later, those newly formed institutions were viewed as opportunities to create a very specific national security apparatus that would focus almost exclusively against their political opposition.
Here is the weird part. The ODNI was formed in 2004, with the intent for the office to be the pivot point of a national security radar. The DNI was intended to provide information to domestic agencies about foreign terror networks that would prevent something like 9-11 from happening again. However, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has never, not for one day, operated on this intent. This is why they are such a critical position from my perspective.
The office was new, not established yet as a functioning silo, when Barack Obama and Eric Holder arrived in 2009. They quickly dispatched an idiot, James Clapper, into the operation so they could weaponize around the offices’ fulcrum point.
Prior to the DNI office existing, the CIA radar would sweep externally and then report to the Office of the President. The DNI was intended to take external radar sweep (CIA) and make it a full 360° circle, adding a sweep inside the USA that would be handled by the Dept of Homeland Security.
The DHS sweep and the CIA sweep would then be combined into a central collection hub called the ODNI. Everyone with responsibility for “national security” could access the ODNI material. Essentially and presumably, post 9-11 nothing like jihadists practicing flying airplanes would be missed again; at least that was the intent.
The weird part is that because the DNI was immediately weaponized, the office has never functioned to the purpose of its intent.
No one truly knows what the office possibilities consist of because no one has ever seen anyone try to functionally control the hub. If you think I’m joking about the intent of Obama and John Brennan using the DNI watch this video. This is before Brennan became CIA Director, this is when Brennan was helping Barack Obama put the pillars into place.
.
For the intents of this outline the takeaway is how the DNI office has never been used for good. However, in a strategic way, that can be used to our advantage if you are talking about leveraging silos against each other.
Example: The DNI can assemble material from any silo. Meaning the DNI can reach into any IC silo and extract anything they want. Under the original authorities given to the DNI, this authority exists. So, let’s spread the wings on this office and do exactly what it is permitted to do, only this time extract for the purpose of showing the President what is happening in every silo.
In essence, the DNI *CAN BE* deployed like a super strong cross-silo inspector general’s office. Force the other IC silos to comply with the demands of the DNI. This has never been done. But the DNI has this unique power.
The DNI can make the FBI, DOJ, DOJ-NSD, DoD, DoS and CIA provide anything and everything they demand. Instead of the other silos using blocks and threats against the office of the President, use the authority of the DNI to get them without confrontation. Then use the DNI to declassify the documents (if requested by potus), instead of the originating silo.
Can you see how the DNI office can be repurposed to be a seriously strong weapon in the toolbox of the President, against the schemes of those inside the various IC silos. The DNI becomes much more important than the CIA Director, NSA Director, FBI Director, Attorney General, etc, because the DNI can just show up and say, “give me this.” That’s the whole functional purpose of the DNI office that has never been exerted; let’s flippin’ use it.
Let’s use the office of the DNI as the central information hub that takes information from inside the corrupt silos, then provides that information to the President who puts sunlight upon it. Each corrupt silo penetrated with disinfectant. This could begin a process to pull down the shadow operations and let the American public see what has been happening inside our IC apparatus.
To accomplish this approach the National Security Advisor to the President (NSA), would be the person who tells the DNI exactly what they are looking for.
How does the NSA know what to look for? Because the National Security Advisor is the head of the National Security Council (NSC).
Now you see why I say put the strategic scruffy people like Mike Flynn, Kash Patel, etc etc in a stripped down NSC.
Let the NSC monitor the silos with specific intent, then provide Trump’s NatSec Advisor with details on what appears to be happening and where. With the approval of the President, the NSA then turns to the DNI and says, “POTUS wants this, go get this.”
Raw, unfiltered, unredacted information. The silo administrators end up in a fight with the ODNI, not the office of President Trump. President Trump then uses the power of his office to support the demands of the DNI.
Under this approach the DNI has a lot more power; yet funnily, it’s power they already have – yet have never utilized.
Unfortunately, the DNI needs to be confirmed by the Senate Intelligence Committee – so, this factors into who could achieve the position. [NOTE: Ric Grenell is too valuable in another position.] John Ratcliffe might be a possibility, but I’m not sure he would be strong enough to go up against the system he knows well (and on a character issue he’s bff’s with Trey Gowdy).
Preferably we really want an outsider in this role, yet any true outsider is going to face massive scrutiny getting through the nomination filter.
My gut tells me that Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey might be a strong candidate, and as DNI he can build on his reputation for confronting DHS manipulation.
Missouri AG Andrew Bailey helped expose the DHS manipulation of social media and has pushed the envelope against the Deep State/Lawfare attacks against Donald Trump. Bailey has used the power of his office for good purposes, and that provides me with cautious optimism he could do the same at a federal level in the position of Director of National Intelligence.
♦ The next position to outline be a combination. The Secretary of State and the CIA Director.
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 consulates are the wait staff. USAID are the food runners. The Dept of Defense are the bus boys. Ukraine is a big tipper.]
Only a small number of Americans understand the relationship between the U.S. State Dept (DoS) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). However, as more people understand how these two agencies operate, then people have a much more accurate context for how both agencies are viewed by the rest of the world.
Almost every deployed CIA operative has a cover profile within the State Dept. The foreign service missions of the DoS and CIA are so enmeshed there is literally no way to separate the functions of their agencies. [Go back to the Benghazi Attack for an operational reference] CIA/DoS have to be viewed through the prism of connection.
To better understand this concept, I use the following metaphor:
♦ 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 consulates are the wait staff. USAID are the food runners. The Dept of Defense are the bus boys.
The tables and chairs are assigned by the Maitre D’ according to their value. Countries viewed as more important get the best tables. The menus offered to each nation are completely different. Israel has a table in the kitchen. To get the best experience, tips (bribes) are required for everyone, from the parking valets outside, to the sommelier, to the server. Currently, Ukraine is the biggest tipper.
On the oversight aspect the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is the control mechanism to approve/install the Secretary of State. The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence is the control mechanism to approve/install the CIA Director. Everything therein and thereafter is a system of pretending it is something else.
The Dept of State (DoS) is so large there’s no way of addressing the inherent institutional corruption. The Secretary of State can control a small portion of DoS operations, but that’s usually only the geopolitical stuff we see discussed on television, in print media or in press conferences. The business functions of the DoS take place within a network of carefully guarded silos.
Perhaps, the first step in advancing an American-First policy, is to just stop the various administrative offices within the Dept of State from doing anything, literally anything. The challenge within DoS is massive, complex and complicated. I’m genuinely not sure what the Executive Branch mechanism is to do it, but we need to close the restaurant for a few months and do a deep cleaning.
On the back of the operation is the kitchen, the CIA.
It is a popular DC sentiment to say the CIA Director is the most powerful person within the intelligence apparatus. As the viewpoint is shared, it is the established secrecy within the mandate of the institution that gives them power.
Essentially, the CIA was created to be a place where dark arts (lying, spying, manipulation, tradecraft) would be approved and used at the discretion of the institutional leadership. As a consequence, there is no check on the CIA operational agenda. They are permitted by function and mandate, to lie to everyone about what they are doing; this includes the Office of the President.
Because they are essentially an unchecked intelligence silo within a government that has allowed the institution to hold unilateral power and self-policing, the CIA has a power within the apparatus unlike any other member.
Inside the business model of foreign policy as a restaurant, the CIA are in control of the kitchen.
Together the DoS/CIA operate a shadow government, looking out for their best interest while generating power through large multinational institutions (corporations), spy agencies (5-eyes), banks, non-governmental agencies (NGAs) and various influence operations.
The activity of the CIA/DoS construct takes place regardless of who is president. Any hope of busting up this corrupt system is going to take a lot of strategic pounding while confronting the supportive element within the Senate at the same time. [Note this is why repealing the 17th amendment would make the work infinitely easier – and also why the 17th amendment was created by banking interests.]
When you stand back and look at the challenge of confronting the DoS and CIA, you can easily see why the Emissary was the first most important person I noted. If you are going to confront the domestic corruption within the DoS, you need the Emissary as a contact for specific foreign government leaders.
Under my approach, the interim foreign policy of the USA shifts away from Foggy Bottom and directly back to the White House. This provides space to destroy the system through domestic confrontation.
A new State Dept Secretary is going to have to push intensely and forcefully to support the goals of President Trump while understanding the internal effort is going to be much less glamorous, but historically far more important.
♦ The Secretary of State needs to have an understanding of the scale of the system underneath them, a comprehensive understanding of the opposition they will face from within that system, and the fortitude to keep playing whac-a-mole until the heads of the sub-silos are slowly removed. The person in this role needs to be a ‘high energy, smart, multitasker.’ The odds are all against them.
♦ The CIA Director needs the same type of understanding, and an impenetrable ability to put the USA interests above the interests of anyone else who has a table in the kitchen. Given the relationships within the aligned Western Intelligence Services, this is going to be a nerve-wracking challenge. As much as I want the CIA candidate to know the scale of the problem they will face, in one important way it might be more beneficial if the person didn’t know the scale of opposition they will face. This is a dark place.
This is a four-year plunge into one of the most corrupt enterprises at the heart of the DC swamp. The DoS/CIA are the guards of the drain. The drain is underneath decades of bile, silt, muck, scum, filth and horrible stuff.
Our candidates for these jobs need to be high-energy and full of equal parts determination, fortitude, piss and vinegar.
My recommendations are pictured below:
Continuing our discussion around the challenge to Trump staffing in 2025, we now shift focus to the FBI Director, Deputy Director and Chief Legal Counsel positions.
However, in order to appropriately discuss this critical silo, it becomes very important for everyone to understand the current status of the FBI as the organization has self-identified.
For those who followed the 2016 campaign of President Trump and then watched the 2017 attacks organized by the DOJ and FBI toward the incoming Trump administration, you may agree with me that a complete disassembly of the FBI is now warranted. I will walk through the process, but first it is important to understand just how bad the corruption has become:
RECAP: The FBI relationship with Antifa is exactly what we have previously discussed on these pages. There is no way for Antifa to operate as a domestic extremist group, without the expressed support and willful blindness of the FBI. Quite simply if the FBI wanted to stop the violent and extremist activity of Antifa, they could do that easily.
Remember, the objective of the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago was to resecure what they perceived as physical evidence President Trump controlled showing how the DOJ and FBI action in 2016 was targeting him using the power of their law enforcement and intelligence agencies. In the background, the origination of all the DOJ/FBI/IC targeting goes back to the ’15/’16 FBI exploitation of the NSA database; this is not a contested discussion issue – it’s just continually forgotten.
The FBI was using their access to the NSA metadata of all Americans, to conduct surveillance on political candidates that might be a threat to the power structures that exploited the secrets within the electronic records of all Americans. The FBI was, almost certainly still is, conducting domestic surveillance and tracking Americans just like the German Stasi or Soviet KGB. It’s still happening, but we are not supposed to talk about it, or something.
The raid on Mar-a-Lago, just like the Robert Mueller investigation, was part of a long standing coverup operation. The FBI was looking for what Trump took with him as evidence of the weaponized system that targeted him. The FBI wanted that back. The FBI was willing to use deadly force to get it back if that’s what it took.
Using the FBI to filter security clearances – [Fourth Branch of Govt]
A History of FBI Weaponization – [SEE HERE]
The modern FBI is the police agency of a weaponized U.S government, with a direct and purposeful mandate to keep the American people under control through strict surveillance and a violent police state.
Understand and accept this with great seriousness, there are no honorable “rank and file” inside this organization.
Every member of the FBI is a participant in the weaponization of power and government. The members are jackboots recruited from ideological college campuses for exactly the purpose of supporting a Stasi-like police state.
Through the past several years, we have discovered how the FBI worked inside Twitter, Facebook and social media to control information, remove content and manipulate opinion on behalf of the U.S. government – all activity political.
We have also learned the FBI took active measures to suppress information about the Hunter Biden laptop and control any negative consequences for the Biden regime – again, political. These are not disputed realities.
The U.S. Dept of Justice and FBI are now political institutions that have abandoned their originating mission in order to become the domestic equivalent of the Soviet-era FSB. Their joint targeting mechanisms have been redesigned to support the interests of corrupt DC politicians, specifically the interests of Democrats.
It was in June 2022, when Senator Chuck Grassley sent a letter [pdf HERE] to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Chris Wray, notifying them of whistleblower allegations from within the FBI that senior leadership in both Main Justice and FBI are involved in a coordinated effort to cover up criminal activity related to Hunter Biden.
The whistleblower allegations, in combination with the documented history of DOJ and FBI misconduct, culminate in Senator Grassley stating:
“If these allegations are true and accurate, the Justice Department and FBI are – and have been – institutionally corrupted to their very core to the point in which the United States Congress and the American people will have no confidence in the equal application of the law. Attorney General Garland and Director Wray, simply put, based on the allegations that I’ve received from numerous whistleblowers, you have systemic and existential problems within your agencies.” (LINK)
Grassley was admitting what has been visible for years.
Senator Grassley is telling the corrupt DOJ-FBI leadership that people in the organizations are outlining the detailed behavior of their corrupt leadership. However, with zero oversight involved, and with Democrats in charge of all committees that would be responsible for such oversight, and with institutional media in alignment and agreement with the corrupt institutional intents of the DOJ/FBI, the frustrating question becomes, “and“?
I mean, who are we kidding? If Republicans were in charge of the Senate Judiciary, Reform/Oversight, or Intelligence committees, do we really believe that anything would be different? Before responding to that cynicism, remind yourself, they were for four years, January 2015 through January 2019, Republicans in charge of oversight.
It was exactly when Republicans were in charge of Main Justice and FBI oversight that Main Justice and FBI were targeting political candidate Donald Trump.
In July 2021, the DOJ OIG produced an absolutely <snip>ing Inspector General investigation of FBI conduct in the rape and sexual assault of U.S. Gymnasts, revealing how FBI agents facilitated Nassar’s sex crimes by taking no action despite numerous witness statements to them.
Worse yet, the FBI never reported the sexual assaults to local law enforcement… and to top it off, the rank and vile FBI agents lied during the investigation of their conduct, and the DOJ under AG Bill Barr, and now under AG Merrick Garland, refused to prosecute the FBI liars.
The entire IG report [Must Read pdf Here] reveals layer-upon-layer of FBI wrongdoing, misconduct and false statements in an effort to cover up their activity when the internal investigation of their conduct began. This report is a total condemnation of the FBI rank and file. It really is quite stunning.
BACKGROUND on FBI – As we discovered in January of 2023, the FBI was fully aware of the terrorist who was planning to shoot the synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, and yet they did nothing.
The FBI knowledge of the shooter, Malik Faisal Akram, who was known as Faisal Akram, was confirmed by The Daily Mail. Akram ranted, prior to his travel to the U.S, that he wished he had died in the 9/11 terror attacks. He was a regular visitor to Pakistan, and reportedly a member of the Tablighi Jamaat group set up to ‘purify’ Islam. To say the U.S. intelligence system knew Faisal Akram would be an understatement.
The FBI was also fully aware of the Boston Marathon bombers, the Tsarnaev brothers, before they executed their plot. The FBI took no action. The Russian police twice warned the FBI that the Tsarnaev brothers were going to carry out a domestic terrorist attack on the USA, the FBI did nothing.
The FBI knew about the San Bernardino terrorists, specifically Tashfeen Malik, and were monitoring her phone calls and communications before her and Syed Farook executed their attack killing 14 people and leaving 22 others seriously injured. The FBI took no action.
The FBI knew Colorado grocery store shooter Ahmad Alissa before he executed his attack. The FBI took no action.
The FBI knew in advance of the Pulse Nightclub shooter (Omar Mateen) and were tipped off by the local sheriff. The FBI knew in advance of the San Bernardino Terrorists (Tashfeen Malik). The FBI knew in advance of the Boston Marathon Bombers (the Tsarnaev brothers) tipped off by Russians. The FBI knew in advance of the Parkland High School shooter (Nikolas Cruz). The FBI knew in advance of the Fort Hood shooter (Nidal Hasan), and the FBI knew in advance of Colorado grocery store shooter Ahmad al-Aliwi Alissa. The FBI took no action.
The case of the first recorded ISIS attack on U.S. soil was in Garland, Texas in 2015.
The FBI not only knew the shooters (Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi) in advance, BUT the FBI ALSO took the shooters to the venue and were standing only a few yards away when Simpson and Soofi opened fire. Yes, you read that correctly – the FBI took the terrorists to the event and then watched it unfold. “An FBI trainer suggested in an interview with “60 Minutes” that, had the attack been bigger, the agency’s numerous ties to the shooter would have led to a congressional investigation.”
Remember, shortly before the 2018 mid-term election, when Ceasar Syoc – a man living in his van – was caught sending “energetic material that can become combustible when subjected to heat or friction”, or what FBI Director Christopher Wray called “not hoax devices”?
Remember how sketchy everything about that was, including the child-like perpetrator telling a judge later that he was trying to walk back his guilty plea, because he was tricked into signing a confession for a crime he did not create.
Or more recently, the goofball plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer that involved 18 suspects, twelve of them actually working for the FBI as the plot was hatched? And we cannot forget the January 6th. DC protest turned insurrection effort, which is clearly looking like an FBI inspired and coordinated effort; and unlike Syoc, despite the numerous CCTV cameras and resources in the area, they cannot find who placed the pipe-bombs?
Have we forgotten the Atlanta “Olympic Park Bombing”, and the FBI intentionally setting up transparently innocent, Richard Jewel?
What about the FBI failing to investigate the assassination of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens in Benghazi. Did we forget when Robert Mueller’s FBI waited 19 days after the Benghazi attack before showing up at the compound?…. Journalists from the USA were walking around the compound after 48 hours, but it took the FBI another two weeks before the first investigator arrived…. All evidence long destroyed.
Then, there’s the entirety of the FBI conduct in “Spygate”, the demonstrably evident FBI operation to conduct political surveillance against Donald Trump using their investigative authorities; and the downstream consequences of a massive institutional effort to cover up one of the biggest justice department scandals in the history of our nation. The original effort against Donald Trump used massive resources from the DOJ and FBI. Heck, the coverup operation using the Mueller/Weissmann special counsel used more than 50 investigative FBI agents alone.
And of course, the FBI still had 13 extra agents available to rush to a NASCAR racetrack to investigate a garage door pull-down rope that might have been perceived as a noose; but the serial rape of hundreds of teenage girls, eh, not-so-much effort – even when they are standing in front of the FBI begging for help.
[At this point, I am increasingly convinced by evidence there are elements within the FBI that are enablers involved in sex trafficking, human smuggling, abduction, counterfeiting and money laundering as part of their operational mission.]
The FBI didn’t make a mistake or drop the proverbial ball in the Olympic gymnast case, they intentionally and specifically maintained the sexual exploitation of teenage girls by doing absolutely nothing with the complaints they received. This is not misconduct, this is purposeful.
Then, as if to apply salt to the open wound of severe FBI politicization, what did the FBI do with the Hunter Biden laptop?
[Notice I’ve set the issue of the disappearing Huma Abedin/Anthony Weiner laptop –in the known custody of the FBI– over there in the corner, next to missing investigation of the Awan brothers.]
More recently, the FBI executed a search warrant on the home and office of Project Veritas and the founder James O’Keefe. While the raid was taking place, a New York Times reporter called O’Keefe to ask him about his thoughts on getting raided. The same New York Times journalist, a few days later, then begins writing about the confidential attorney-client privileged information illegally retrieved then leaked by the FBI during their raid.
♦My point is this…
What the Federal Security Service (FSB) is to the internal security of the Russian state, so too is the FBI in performing the same function for the U.S. federal government.
The FBI is a U.S. version of the Russian “State Police”; and the FBI is deployed -almost exclusively- to attack domestic enemies of those who control government, while they protect the interests of the U.S. Fourth Branch of Government. That is the clear and accurate domestic prism to contextualize their perceived mission: “domestic violent extremists pose the greatest threat” to their objective.
Put another way, “We The People”, who fight against government abuse and usurpation, are the FBI’s actual and literal enemy.
Let me be very clear with another brutally obvious example. Antifa could not exist as an organization, capable to organize and carry out violent attacks against their targets, without the full support of the FBI. If the FBI wanted to arrest members of Antifa, who are actually conducting violence, they could do it easily – with little effort.
It is the absence of any action, by the FBI toward Antifa, that tells us the FBI is enabling that violent extremist behavior to continue. Once you accept that transparent point of truth, then you realize the FBI definition of domestic violent extremism is something else entirely.
The FBI is not a law enforcement or investigative division of the U.S. Department of Justice. The FBI is a political weapon of a larger institution that is now focused almost entirely toward supporting a radical communist agenda to destroy civil society in the United States.
The FBI set up the operation in Michigan to give the illusion that domestic threats were attempting to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer, everything about the events were an FBI construct. The same thing with the January 6th events in Washington DC and the pipe bombs. These are domestic FBI operations. Think about the precarious nature of what this type of activity indicates.
The current mission of the FBI appears to be preserving and protecting institutional power by protecting the administration of Joe Biden.
Anyone who continues to push this insufferable and fraudulent “honorable FBI rank and file talking point”, is, at this point in history, willfully and purposefully operating to deceive the American people on behalf of government interests who are intent on destroying us.
It is not a difference of opinion any longer. Personally, I have lost the ability to sit comfortably or intellectually with anyone who pushes or accepts the ‘mistakes are made’ nonsense. The FBI is not making mistakes, they are doing well what is important to them.
To me, it comes down to a simple matter of accepting what is continually staring us in the face.
Additionally, as we watched the outcome of the Michael Sussmann trial, we should never lose sight of the fact that 40 FBI agents were involved in the Mueller-Weissmann probe to investigate the fraudulent construct created by Hillary Clinton and crew. 40 agents? And, according to the outcome of the Sussmann trial, the FBI knew it was all a ruse.
This is why and how the Fourth Branch of U.S. Government is now the superseding apparatus above all other branches. {GO DEEP} This is why and how Barack Obama, John Brennan and Eric Holder created it, cemented it, and made it impervious to any effort to remove it.
Remember when Henry Cuellar was critical of the Biden administration open border policies that were hurting his Texas district? Less than a month after going public with his criticisms, the FBI raids on his home and office began. The same FBI that raided the home of James O’Keefe while coordinating their search with the New York Times.
The Fourth Branch of Government is corrupt; heck, the J6 committee was defending the corrupt FBI, participating with the corrupt FBI, selling a joint J6 operation that involved the FBI. The corrupt media have aligned with the corrupt FBI, and the justice institutions in/around this legal framework are self-aware and fully autonomous.
As the Twitter files show, the DOJ and FBI, through the authority of DHS, now have the ability to monitor every single aspect of every life that might seek to challenge or destroy the corrupt system.
In essence, Skynet -the ultimate end game of political surveillance and targeting outlined by Edward Snowden- has been activated. We the People are the enemy of the state.
Jackboots are very real, and they are wearing FBI logos on their shirts.
♦ The Federal Bureau of Investigation – Arguably the FBI is the key agency within the U.S. government that has provided the most discussion since the agency first targeted presidential candidate Donald Trump in 2015/2016.
The FBI is without doubt the one agency I have spent the most time researching in the past decade; in part due to the researched corruption within it, and in part due to stunning revelations discovered about the way it operates.
With background context previously shared, my goal is to outline an aspect within the silo that few really understand.
This outline is extremely challenging without context. Some of the questions people have about the agency will hopefully be answered, and my hope is everyone who reads will have new context.
Let’s start with a simple question: How is it the FBI can botch so many openly problematic investigative issues like terrorist attacks, and yet simultaneously spend so much time investigating issues that seemingly have little or no value?
In essence, how does the FBI miss so much, yet have time for things that seem openly political?
The answer to that question took a long time to understand, it’s much more than just institutional corruption.
The FBI as an institution has a modern operational mission that is different from what is commonly thought to exist. The reality of the modern FBI mission consists of prioritizing their work based on the interests of Washington DC, and ONLY the interests of Washington DC.
If a subject can be defined as a priority for the system of government in Washington DC, then that subject is the targeting priority for the FBI. It does not matter what priority is assigned by any outside interest on the issue; nor does it matter what level of importance exists from the actual threat itself.
Example. The FBI misses terrorist threats, because the FBI -as a totally siloed agency- is not informed of the threat from DC. If a citizen, group, or outside agency reports a potential risk it is not investigated. This surfaces in everything from the Boston Marathon bombers to the Parkland shooter, to U.S. gymnasts being sexually assaulted. If the “threat” defined is not a threat to DC interests, then the threat is not pursued by the FBI.
The FBI only investigates threats or subjects of interest that stem from origination in Washington DC. Meaning if the DC system is threatened by the subject, that subject gets investigated. If the DC system does not trigger the notification, the FBI does not investigate it.
In essence the FBI only investigates threats as they are defined by other agencies, or silos, within Washington DC. The FBI is the internal agency that protects the DC system. This is a <snip>ized concept, a completely screwed up institutional mission, that stems from within the term “the continuation of government.”
A local or state issue, is not a priority for the FBI, even if the issue is a major threat to the domestic tranquility…. UNLESS, that issue, person or group threatens the stakeholders within the DC political system. This manifests openly by the inability of citizens to provide information that triggers action by the FBI.
The FBI only responds to investigative actions requested by agencies within Washington DC. Typically, Main Justice or the DOJ is the source of those originating requests; however, sometimes the executive or legislative branch can trigger the FBI action, if the identified threat has the potential to upset political operations within Washington DC.
Armed with empirical, undeniable evidence of corrupt activity, I was prepared to engage the FBI when I was intercepted by a person who warned me about this operational mission. It was from that point that I really began to understand the FBI as a silo within the system that is entirely predicated on self-preservation.
If a person brings a federal corruption issue to the FBI (like evidence of corrupt activity), they will end up being a target of the FBI because the evidence itself is likely adverse to one or more interests within DC. There are many reference examples, but two you will likely know are James O’Keefe (Ashley Biden diary) and/or voter fraud (writ large, with Michigan as a great example).
Because the Biden Diary threatened the DC government interest, O’Keefe quickly became a target. Because voter fraud in Michigan threatened the DC government interest, the FBI stepped in to cover it up. You can say the same for the Awan brothers, the Huma Abedin laptop, the Clinton classified emails and many more.
The FBI has two ways to protect the interests of DC: (1) Defend by investigating the accuser, evidence holder, or person who raises the issue. (2) Defend by non-investigation of the subject matter (Olympic Gymnasts, Epstein, etc). Again, if the institutional interests within DC are threatened by the subject matter, the objective of the FBI is to defend those institutional interests.
The FBI is not a federal investigative agency with a mission to serve and protect the people of the United States. The FBI is a federal investigative agency with a mission to protect the institutional interests of Washington DC. Once you understand this process with clarity then everything the FBI does and does not investigate, makes sense.
This operational mission of the FBI explains why when a citizen brings an issue to the FBI, the citizen is more than likely going to end up as a target. This reality is key to understanding the disparity between what people perceive as the FBI mission, and what the ACTUAL mission is.
This is not some off-the-cuff disparagement or conspiracy theory; this is the fact-based reality of how the FBI works. Even in my own discussions with John Durham’s FBI investigators, they openly admitted how their operational mission does not permit them to entertain any evidence of corruption or wrongdoing within government.
When you understand how it works, then you start to realize the futility of expecting any investigative outcome from the FBI toward anything that does not threaten Washington DC. Protecting the DC system IS the goal, the priority, the operational mission; nothing more. Does the FBI inability to track the J6 pipe-bomber make more sense now? There are a tremendous number of examples.
The various FBI offices distributed around the nation are essentially interception venues, constantly on the lookout to protect the interests of DC. If an issue surfaces that could potentially put the administrative state, or any actor therein at risk, the FBI is far more likely to intercede, intercept and manage away the issue.
The FBI are essentially investigative managers; they are not concerned with fraud or criminal wrongdoing when/if that fraud or corruption might put a part of the DC system at risk. Instead, the FBI will take control of the problem and throw their investigative blanket over it (Ex. Hunter Biden laptop, as given by the computer repair shop). The non-pretending people within the FBI will admit this, as will just about anyone who has ever had experience reaching out to the FBI for investigative assistance.
Once you take this context and apply it to examples you can reference, then suddenly everything the FBI does and does not do, makes sense. Every contradiction, and I do mean each example that might be pulled into the conversation as a reference point, makes sense from the reality of this perspective. The raid on Mar-a-Lago and the targeting of President Trump is another brutally obvious example.
Many voices have recently started calling for the elimination of the FBI as a result of controversies that surround this factual mission priority. Those voices are not wrong; in fact, there is no way to reform the FBI as an investigative agency, because the mission of the agency is the opposite of what it should be.
The FSB is known to protect the interests of the Russian government; this is accepted and no longer arguable. However, the same purpose is true with the USA and the FBI relationship toward government. Unfortunately, the system of government that benefits from this protection is never going to willingly remove their guards.
The last point on this issue is even more alarming. Only a handful of people within Washington DC will admit the truth behind the FBI mission.
With this in mind, who should be the FBI Director, Deputy Director and Chief Legal Counsel for a President Trump administration.
If the goal is to begin the process to remove the institution, it is going to take a massive amount of public education to get this level of support in place. Removing this one agency silo is going to take up a lot of time by senior members of the Trump administration.
FBI Director: Clay Higgins
Deputy FBI Director: Kris Kobach
FBI Chief Legal Counsel: John Ratcliffe
♦ The Department of Justice – Now we turn our attention toward Main Justice, the DOJ in DC.
Main Justice works closely with the FBI on what is loosely termed federal “law and order.” There are several positions within the DOJ that are familiar as a result of the modern weaponization that took place.
As an institution, Main Justice is now almost exclusively a Lawfare targeting mechanism.
The Dept of Justice unilaterally focuses all criminal investigative resources against the political enemies of the Administrative State.
This is not to say Republicans are targets, because often the republicans are beneficiaries of the targeting operation. Think about the example of Main Justice working with the IRS to target the Tea Party groups in 2010 and 2011.
The Republicans were much more opposed to the Tea Party than the Democrats were. The professional republican apparatus was furious about the primary victories of the Tea Party, and subsequently benefitted from the DOJ targeting of the various patriot movements.
FBI HQ left, Main Justice HQ right
Main Justice targets individuals, organizations and systems that government officials and politicians determine are a threat to the power structure. The Intelligence Community use their ability to conduct electronic surveillance to discover evidence against their targets. The IC then feeds the evidence to Main Justice giving them the targeting coordinates. The DOJ takes action based on the information from the IC, often using the FBI as the enforcement mechanism.
The entire structure of Main Justice as an institution is corrupt, top to bottom. Much like the FBI, there is no agency, office, or subsidiary set of personnel within the DOJ that is not compromised by the modern mission of the organization. This is a critical point to accept, because if it is not accepted then we repeat the mistakes of thinking an Attorney General alone can correct the problem. They cannot.
Within the DOJ there are several divisions that must be addressed simultaneously if any effort to take it down to brass tacks is going to succeed. This cannot be a delicate surgical approach, the effort to remove the corrupt lesion will need chainsaws not scalpels. The fine surgical details and cleaning will be for the next administration.
The interior silos each have an important role, and they include: (1) the DOJ-National Security Division (DOJ-NSD), (2) the DOJ Civil Rights Division, (3) the DOJ-Community Relations Service (DOJ-CRS), and (4) the DOJ Inspector General’s Office. These are the four key agencies within the larger Main Justice system that must be addressed from DC.
Of those FOUR AGENCIES, the single most important one is the DOJ-National Security Division (DOJ-NSD). This is the interior silo that was corrupted from its origin and remained intentionally without Inspector General oversight until 2017.
When we think of the common Lawfare targeting the enemies of the Deep State like Donald Trump, that’s the core purpose of the DOJ-NSD.
DOJ-NSD: […] ” The National Security Division (NSD) was created in March 2006 by the USA PATRIOT Reauthorization and Improvement Act (Pub. L. No. 109-177). The creation of the NSD consolidated the Justice Department’s primary national security operations: the former Office of Intelligence Policy and Review and the Counterterrorism and Counterintelligence and Export Control Sections of the Criminal Division. The new Office of Law and Policy and the Executive Office, as well as the Office of Justice for Victims of Overseas Terrorism (which previously operated out of the Criminal Division) complete the NSD. The NSD commenced operations in September 2006 upon the swearing in of the first Assistant Attorney General for National Security.” (link)
The DOJ-NSD hides behind the justification of “national security” to cloud their activity. In many ways the DOJ-NSD and the CIA have the same cover story that allows them virtually omnipotent power.
The President has previously been hamstrung by the claimed importance and power of agencies under the guise of national security. As you can see from the origin, the Legislative Branch created the beast then cowered away from oversight. The worst outcome stemmed from the Judicial Branch who historically deferred to the national security apparatus.
To understand the dynamic with the Judicial Branch it is worth looking at the outcome of the DOJ-NSD targeting President Trump on the issue of classified records. Check the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals framing.
As you can see the DOJ-NSD knows how to use “national security” as a sword and a shield. This is essentially the issue now created by the DOJ-NSD targeting President Trump.
With the Legislative Branch compromised by their own creation, and with the Judicial Branch stuck inside an old paradigm of “national security” you can see how confronting the DOJ-NSD can only come from one place, THE OVAL OFFICE.
The President of the United States, hopefully Donald J Trump, is going to have to do what the other branches have failed to do, take apart the DOJ-NSD and remove all the functions of Main Justice to their pre-Patriot Act status. This is not going to be easy and will take a very specific type of person as U.S. Attorney General who both understands the issue and can, more importantly, articulate the problem to the larger American public.
So, we have some context for the positions that will be important. We need:
♦ An Attorney General (AG);
♦ A Deputy Attorney General (DAG);
♦ An Asst Deputy AG in charge of the NSD;
♦ An Asst Deputy AG in charge of the Civil Rights Division.
♦ And we need a key person in charge of the ultra-secretive DOJ Community Relations Service.
We need more, but these are the most critical positions to cover – AND REMEMBER, not a single person who has ever worked in Main Justice should ever be considered a candidate for any leadership position in 2025. If they worked in the corrupt DOJ system, they are corrupt – I do not care what capacity they worked in it before.
♦ The AG needs to be ultra clean with a spine of steel and a laser focus. The AG needs to totally understand the goals and objectives, without being told what the goals and objectives are. The AG needs to be independent, stable, strategic, brutally honest and keenly confident in his/her communication style with the attack media.
President Trump cannot spend exhaustive time instructing the AG on critical priorities. The AG needs to operate with skill, focus and self-motivated energy. The AG will be the focus of the Lawfare crew for removal/recusal. (Weissmann, McCord, Eisen, etc.)
♦ The Deputy AG needs to be intensely capable to stay on task with minimal supervision. The DAG is the git-r’-done person, no excuses, no apologies, no explanations. Raw, brutal, cold, quiet and determined. The DAG needs eyes of a mouse and ears of an elephant. The DAG needs to be a sponge, with total loyalty to the mission. The DAG also needs to be the bridge to the FBI.
♦ The Asst DAG in charge of the NSD will be walking into the heart of Obama/Holder’s created snake pit. This DOJ-NSD position covers Foreign Agent Registration Act violations (targeting) as well as the weaponized FISA constructs. The person put into this silo needs to completely understand the dynamic of the DOJ-NSD as the source of the most weaponized aspects.
♦ The Asst DAG in charge of the Civil Rights Division will be critical for all elements of election reform. The ADAG-CRD is going to be attacked, called racist and blasted by the Lawfare operatives. The Civil Rights Division DAG will be targeted by Marc Elias and hundreds of activist lawyers inside every aligned non-governmental agency who depend on the DOJ for enforcement and lawfare support.
♦ The person in charge of the Community Relations Service will need to head-off the FBI constructs and false flag attacks targeting the Trump administration. The CRS leadership will need to protect all of the DOJ team from the Antifa/BLM efforts as they are manufactured by the FBI silo operators. The head of the CRS needs to be intensely “anti-woke.”
Potential candidates:
♦ Attorney General – Ken Paxton (TX)
♦ Deputy AG – Jeff Landry (LA)
♦ Deputy AG NSD – Sidney Powell (or similar)
♦ Deputy AG Civil Rights Division – Byron Donalds (or similar)
♦ Community Relations Service – Vivek Ramaswamy (or similar)
The Media Will Forever Pretend Not to Know, But with Last Night’s Vote Totals They Do
There is a video segment going viral from CNN that deserves some special attention. Within the video CNN’s Jake Tapper asks CNN election guru John King to show where Kamala is doing better than Joe Biden. The result catches Tapper by surprise.
However, there’s a big underpinning reality behind this.
Kamala Harris did not “underperform” Joe Biden, what the data actually shows is the missing fraudulent ballots from the 2020 election. WATCH:
.
Now that we know the basic 2024 raw vote total, we are able to put a scale on the number of fraudulent mail-in ballots from the 2020 election.
Based on 2024 vote/ballot data, 18 million ballots are missing when compared to 2020.
In 2024 there are 18 million fewer votes. That’s the approximate scale of ballot fraud from 2020. (see graphic below)
.
The professional DC apparatus, the administrative state, the institutions that compromise the DNC and the corporate media who are aligned with them, will never admit what the results reflect. 2020 was a stolen election, the data confirms it!
Kamala Harris did not “underperform” per se’, she was just not the beneficiary of the same scale of ballot fraud.
Humorous Intermission
In case you just need a little break during the election day anxiety. Humor is the best medicine.
.
Mail in and early voting data is measured by registered voters.
It is reported that some Democrat voters are favoring Trump in this election. That would bring the total supposed votes going to Harris down.
Registered Democrats voting for Trump.
Lets see if the vote tally changes on the mail in and early in person voting changes.
Ignore Polling – Democrats are in the ‘Pull the Goalie’ Phase
There is that moment in the final minutes of the hockey game’s third period, when the score is 3-2 and the coach of the losing team signals to pull the goalie. We are in the political equivalent of that moment.
Ignore all the push polling that will surface today and in the next 48 hours. Everything you see, read, hear and view on the electronic devices is now part of an influence operation that has reached its desperate apex. The pull the goalie phase of the manipulation effort to influence the 2024 presidential election is upon us.
The USA Today poll by Ann Selzer, recorded in the official declarations pushed by the Des Moines Register, published late yesterday, was part of the design. In essence, the scripted play was to set up a Sunday blitz of polling from the New York Times/Sienna to outline the 2024 presidential contest as a tossup, anyone’s’ race.
Corporate media practice and repeat this script just like the forementioned hockey team. It is as predictable as all other UniParty moves.
All other polling has President Trump beating KamalObama by around 8 to 10 points in Iowa. The USA Today/DMR poll of Kamala +3 is nonsense. As Richard Baris said funnily, “it’s like Selzer polled the Starbucks line in Manhattan.”
Yup, the whistle for the final minute time-out call was transparent and purposeful, eh. The Sunday ‘talks’ need an alignment of polling narrative; the whistle gives them that signal.
Here’s the current game disposition and overly general historic landscape as it appears.
♦ In 2006 the enamored and easily influenced Millennials voted to support Obama. The Boomers were watching Fox News and voting to support the traditional next in line McCain and Romneys’.
Accordingly…. Gen-X, in their income prime, were trying to survive the economic contraction and saw the kids amassing to support the Lightbringer. While jumping in the car for work, Gen-X shouted to the neighborhood kids, “watch out, he ain’t what you think,” then put their heads down and went to their jobs. The results were what was expected.
The outcome of the “fundamental change” wasn’t a surprise, but the pragmatic Gen-X understood sometimes kids have to learn the lesson the hard way. The Boomers were still focused on the UniParty TV series.
♦ In 2016 politics followed the track of Star Wars. Thanks in no small part to a generally pissed off GenX; populism and economic nationalism was a big success. However, in 2020 The Empire struck back, the battles were epic. Everyone began to see the scale of the Deep State fraud exposed by Donald Trump.
Fast forward to 2024. The last segment of the Trump trilogy, The Return of the Jedi.
♦ In 2024 Gen-X, understanding the rise of the Obama era and the futility of fighting the residual Kool-Aid effect, ignored the Millennials and shifted their messaging for an alliance back to Gen-Z. Pragmatism and populism countered the cultural revolution of the Chicago Marxists by teaching and gathering a new generation of Jedi.
It was annoying at times, frustrating at times but eventually successful. Big Tech (ie. the Death Star) was targeted and fractured.
As the Boomers began to realize something was happening that looked promising, they stopped watching television. A new era of communication tech, platforms and anti-fragile messaging systems were deployed. Gen-Z was learning fast that something new, something for them, was possible.
The smart Boomers realized Gen-X had a solid plan. The Gen-Z alignment with Gen-X was successful, despite the drone-like and boring behavior of the millennial storm troopers giving the illusion of superiority.
Returning to my terribly switching metaphors. Team Marxist’s coach Obama has blown the whistle. The Democrats are in their ‘pull the goalie’ phase.
However, when Kamala fails, and she will fail, eventually they will come to realize their older legs never stood a chance without the 18–25-year-old Jedi that a pissed off Gen-X took the time to train.
Be of good cheer.
Live your very best life, and let’s make sure we all drive hard through the tape at the finish line.
Deserve victory!
***UPDATE**
“Following our pressure campaign, our poll watchers have now been let into the building in all four Georgia counties,” RNC Chairman Michael Whatley said on Saturday afternoon.
