Yesterday we talked about the interesting dynamic playing out in DC. The black box that is the Intelligence Community (IC), specifically the CIA, is being exposed. And that is extraordinary.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe declassified an “Internal Tradecraft Review of 2016 Election ICA to Promote Analytic Objectivity and Transparency.” As noted yesterday, the Intelligence Community, CIA, FBI, DNI, etc. intentionally fabricated intelligence information to create an entirely fictitious storyline.
Ratcliffe was telling us what we already knew, that intel assessments of Russian collusion during the 2016 presidential campaign were lies and distortions, told by dirty cops who were desperate to avoid being exposed!
What happened on Thursday? Putin and Trump held an hour-long telephone conversation. Coincidence? I think not.
Let’s be reminded that while Putin may be a defined “enemy” by the CIA, so is PDJT. Both were targeted by the same source, the CIA.
Sundance notes:
President Putin is essentially ambivalent to your targeted position, but defines his adversary as your Central Intelligence Agency. You want to cut the Gordian knot, change the geopolitical world, create a strategic alignment; but to do that you need Putin to accept you do not view him as the enemy. You also need to prove you have control over the apparatus he views as a threat. How do you prove you have control over the agency?
Ratcliffe’s message sends a signal to Putin that defines the CIA’s dual targeting of both and says that you are getting control over that area of your government that has been outside control for a long time.
On the Russian side, there is this:

Let’s add this to Sundance’s timeline:
- President Trump said publicly he had no prior knowledge of the Ukraine drone attack against Russia’s long-range bomber fleet.
- President Trump then held a phone call with Vladimir Putin to affirm his lack of forewarning.
- President Trump then holds another phone call with Putin to discuss the Iran nuclear issues.
- President Trump then publicly says at the G7 in Canada, it was a big mistake to take Russia out of the G8; further saying -repeatedly- that sanctions hurt both sides, and there is a cost to sanctions.
- Trump then bombs the Iranian nuclear facilities; and two days later Putin says there is no doubt in his mind that President Trump is committed to peace.
- The U.S. then delays sending additional patriot missiles to Ukraine.
- Then today the U.S. says the 2016 predicate for removing Russian officials from the USA was based on fraud within the intelligence community, per CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
- Today, after the BBB bill exits the Senate and is through the rules committee in the House – looking like a certain vote to approve; and after the CIA public statement outlining the false case against Russian diplomats, President Trump holds another phone call with Vladimir Putin.
PDJT’s Inaugural address contained this tidbit.
“Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American people.”
Implied in this statement is that the old government was not controlled by the American people. The IC and particularly the CIA has been part of that failed and corrupt establishment.
Trump does not think small. Imagine a world where Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin form a structure for the world to operate. Russia is, of course, winning this war, but think about a Russia that could concentrate on developing its own resources and prosper in the world community.
Now take this one step farther – China is facing formidable problems right now. What if PDJT could arrive at a workable plan with both Putin and Xi? Fanciful thinking? Maybe, but Trump tends to surprise us.
Interesting times indeed!
