In part 1 of this series we talked about events that occurred some time ago. In some cases these events occurred more than a decade ago. It is important to keep in mind that this was a long-term effort by totalitarians to control the country. And yes, Obama was easier to control than Hillary would have been.
It is also important to note that, in connection with Washington DC politics, there has been a fusion of the two parties into a uniParty. Exposure of this collusion threatens the very existence of the traditional GOP at this point in time. We have recently seen Mitch McConnell denigrate some the GOP candidates for the Senate simply because they are MAGA people. His leadership position and his ability to pass the torch to a candidate of his choosing are probably at risk if the MAGA candidates win.
A look at history shows that this has happened before. In 2010 the Tea Party arose in response to Obamacare passage. The Tea Party was truly a grassroots campaign and the elites in Washington were caught off guard. A bunch of incumbent Senators were taken out on both sides of the aisle. The Tea Party also made significant inroads into the House GOP caucus.
In many ways the Tea Party movement was very similar to the MAGA movement. The one major difference was Donald Trump as a head figure. No such figure existed in 2010.
Sundance notes:
Republicans were in control of the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2015 when the Intelligence Branch operation against candidate Donald Trump was underway. [Feinstein’s staffer, Dan Jones, left the SSCI so he could act as a liaison and political operative between private-sector efforts (Fusion GPS, Chris Steele) and the SSCI.] The SSCI was a participant in that Fusion GPS/Chris Steele operation, and as a direct consequence Republicans were inherently tied to the problem with President Trump taking office in January of 2017. Indiana Republican Senator Dan Coats was a member of the SSCI.
Bottom line…. When it came to the intelligence system targeting Donald Trump during the 2015/2016 primary, the GOP was just as much at risk as their Democrat counterparts.
When Trump unexpectedly won the 2016 election, the SSCI was shocked more than most. They knew countermeasures would need to be deployed to protect themselves from any exposure of their prior intelligence conduct. Immediately Senator Dianne Feinstein stepped down from the SSCI, and Senator Mark Warner was elevated to Vice Chairman.
Thinking the unthinkable.
Let that sink in. A top staffer of the Vice Chair of the SSCI was directly involved helping private contractors run an intelligence operation against a major political party’s candidate for President.
And then Mike Pence, the Vice President, recommended fellow Hoosier, SSCI Senator Dan Coats, to become President Trump’s Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). How did that work out? Eventually PDJT fired Coats because he did not carry out the job that he was supposed to do.
To better understand the power dynamic going on, it is instructive to view how the HPSCI is treated as compared to the SSCI. Devin Nunes was chairman of the HPSCI. Mark Warner was Vice Chairman of the SSCI. Let’s view the actions of the Intelligence Branch in response to the request to see the Carter Page FISA warrant.
Remember the massive stonewalling and blocking of the DOJ/FBI toward Nunes? Remember the back-and-forth battle over declassification surrounding the Nunes memo?
Remember, after Nunes went directly to House Speaker Paul Ryan for help (didn’t get any), the DOJ only permitted two members from each party within the HPSCI to review the documents, and only at the DOJ offices of main justice?
Contrast that amount of House Intel Committee railroading by intelligence operatives in the DOJ, DOJ-NSD and FBI, with the simple request by Senate Intelligence Vice Chairman Mark Warner asking to see the Carter Page FISA application and immediately a copy being delivered to him on March 17th 2017.
Can you see which intelligence committee is aligned with the deepest part of the deep state?
…
The contrast of ideological alignment between the House, Senate and Intelligence Branch is crystal clear when viewed through the prism of cooperation. You can see which legislative committee holds the power and support of the Intelligence Branch. The Senate Intel Committee facilitates the corrupt existence of the IC Branch, so the IC Branch only cooperates with the Senate Intel Committee. It really is that simple.
Again, remember that the IC Branch is holding massive amounts of data on everyone in the country. This includes the politicians who inhabit the halls of Congress. The unwritten message is you will play ball or you will be on the outside looking in or worse. Just ask Michael Flynn.
The IC Branch controls the security clearance process (think FBI) and can therefore control who gets access to work in the IC Branch. Through their “partnership” with the SSCI, they control who will be appointed to high level executive positions within their agencies. No top executive for any of the alphabet agencies can be approved without going through the SSCI.
The IC Branch also controls the classification/declassification process. It uses this to protect itself from being exposed. This allows the IC Branch to hide the evidence of corrupt and/or illegal activity within the IC Branch.
Some might point out that the President has plenary power to declassify. In theory this is true. However, Sundance notes this:
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?
This problem is well seen through the issues that PDJT had when he wanted to replace former Sen. Coats with John Ratcliffe as the DNI. Mitch McConnell, who was Senate Majority leader at the time, told PDJT that Ratcliffe could not be confirmed. The SSCI would not recommend Ratcliffe for the job.
The IC Branch knew that Ratcliffe would be a danger to the IC Branch. This was the same danger that General Michael Flynn represented at the beginning of PDJT’s term as National Security advisor.
When a top position at a government agency is vacant, the President can appoint an acting head of department. Usually that person is the second-in-command at the agency. All such second-in-command people have been previously confirmed by the Senate. If the acting head is to become the actual head, then another confirmation hearing is necessary.
The acting period is not open-ended. If the acting head is not to remain at the helm, the President has several months to get someone else confirmed. However, by statute, the acting period can be extended if the Senate fails to confirm a nominee to the position in question.
Here is where PDJT again showed his ability to solve problems. While the normal course of affairs is to have the #2 assume the acting head of department, it does not have to be this way. Anyone who has been through the Senate confirmation process is eligible to fill the acting role.
PDJT searched through the people within his administration and found someone he felt would be powerful in the job of DNI. That person was the ambassador to Germany, Ric Grenell. PDJT gave him a second job, that of acting DNI. And Grenell was everything PDJT could have wanted.
Grenell was bringing sunlight to places that the IC Branch did not want to have such exposure. After months of this, PDJT then re-nominated John Ratcliffe as DNI. The SSCI along with the IC Branch was faced with a dilemma. If they failed to report the nomination out of committee or the Senate failed to confirm, Grenell’s tenure as acting DNI would be extended. The other choice was to confirm Ratcliffe.
In the end they confirmed Ratcliffe. This incident just reflects how determined the corrupt elites in Washington and particularly the IC Branch were determined to prevent PDJT from draining the Swamp.
Sundance notes:
Yes, there are ways to break up the Intelligence Branch, but they do not start with any congressional effort. As you can see above, the process is the flaw – not the solution. Most conservative pundits have their emphasis on the wrong syllable. Their cornerstone is false.
For their own self-preservation, the Intelligence Branch has been interfering in our elections for years. The way to tear this apart begins with STATE LEVEL election reform that blocks the Legislative Branch from coordinating with the Intelligence Branch.
The extreme federalism approach is critical and also explains why Joe Biden has instructed Attorney General Merrick Garland to use the full power of the DOJ to stop state level election reform efforts. The worry of successful state level election control is also why the Intelligence Branch now needs to support the federal takeover of elections.
Our elections have been usurped by the Intelligence Branch. Start with honest elections and we will see just how much Democrat AND Republican corruption is dependent on manipulated election results. Start at the state level. Start there…. everything else is downstream.
I am reminded of a speech that PDJT gave in October, 2016.
Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American People. There is nothing the political establishment will not do, and no lie they will not tell, to hold on to their prestige and power at your expense. The Washington establishment, and the financial and media corporations that fund it, exists for only one reason: to protect and enrich itself.
We The People need to recognize the marionette strings. Once someone sees them, they cannot unsee them. The more people become aware, the less effective are the propaganda attempts by those who would control the whole country for their personal benefit.
As Sundance indicates, we are not going to solve the problem at the federal level because the IC Branch has usurped the election process. And very few if any in Washington are willing to stick their neck out and say so.
Oversight of the Executive Branch and by extension the IC Branch has collapsed. The legislative construct of the Gang of Eight no longer actually works. The idea in creating this group was to prevent rogue intelligence operations from occurring. If both parties were informed of such activities, then weaponization of the Executive Branch against the opposition party should not happen. It did against PDJT. It is now being used against MAGA candidates.
When Elise Stefanik pressed James Comey on why no notice was given, Comey was clearly caught off guard. Comey did not expect such a question. The Obama administration had reached a point where they thought they had gotten away with collapsing all oversight. And, in fact, they had when Congress did not excoriate Comey and the FBI for their actions. Both parties were complicit in this.
Sundance notes:
Hopefully, you can now see the scale of the problem that surrounds us with specific citation for what has taken place. What I just explained to you above is not conspiracy theory, it is admitted fact that anyone can look upon. Yet….
Have you seen this mentioned anywhere? Have you seen this called out by anyone in Congress? Have you seen anyone in media (ally or adversary) call this out? Have you seen any member of the Judicial Branch stand up and say wait, what is taking place is not okay? Have you seen a single candidate for elected office point this out? Have you seen anyone advising a candidate to point this out?
This is our current status. It is not deniable. The truth exists regardless of our comfort.
The foundation for all this activity is the intelligence gathering networks. All major geopolitical players have some form of this activity. This includes the Five Eyes (UK, France, Australia, New Zealand, America), China, Russia, Israel and Saudi Arabia. Each maintains their own database. Each undoubtedly attempts to breach the databases of others. Each scrapes data from social media sites. All of this is done to help the people in power stay in power including in America.
From Sundance:
… it is then critical to understand that domestic intelligence operations are underway to monitor the electronic communication of American citizens inside our own country. YOU are under surveillance. The parents who confront school boards are under surveillance. The political operatives inside the FBI are monitoring everyone who comes onto the radar, that is why the National School Boards Association asked the White House, then the DOJ, to have the FBI start targeting parents. Are things making sense now?
How does Big Tech figure into all of this? That is a story for Part 3.
