GO DEEP – Speaker Johnson Changed Mind on FISA/Deep State after Lobbying from Pompeo and Intelligence Community


Posted originally on the CTH on April 23, 2024 | Sundance 

This is more than a little interesting and aligns with my own research and discussions.  House Speaker Mike Johnson was lobbied by former CIA Director Mike Pompeo and current officials from the CIA, DNI and Intelligence Community.

This effort, and his son starting at the Naval Academy, is what changed Johnson’s mind about allowing the U.S. intelligence community to have his full support in the IC war against the American people.

The story is shared by CNN, the official outlet for perspectives and viewpoints held by the U.S. State Dept (CIA), so keep the narrative origination in mind.  Here are the key points as written in the article:

WASHINGTON – […] The speaker’s embrace of Ukraine aid represents a remarkable evolution for Johnson, who voted against funding for the country as a rank-and-file member. But almost immediately after securing the speaker’s gavel, sources say he began to hear directly from critical Republican national security voices – including Donald Trump’s former secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, who impressed upon him the urgent need to approve assistance for Ukraine in its fight against Russia’s invasion.

In March, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky lobbied the speaker directly. Within minutes of the House approving a new military aid package for Ukraine on Saturday, Zelensky offered his thanks to US lawmakers, and in particular to Johnson for his decision that “keeps history on the right track.”

And more recently, Johnson received a key intelligence briefing from CIA Director Bill Burns, who painted a picture of the dire situation on the battlefield in Ukraine and the global consequences of inaction, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation. The briefing left a lasting impression, and Johnson became increasingly convinced the fate of Western democracy was on his shoulders, sources close to him said.

Another factor that sources say weighed heavily on his decision-making: Johnson’s oldest son was recently accepted into the Naval Academy.

“To put it bluntly, I would rather send bullets to Ukraine than American boys. My son is going to begin in the Naval Academy this fall. This is a live-fire exercise for me as it is so many American families,” Johnson told reporters. (read more)

♦ The U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) is at the epicenter of all modern corrupt politics.  Every element of weaponized government, each example of action taken, can be traced to an agency within the USIC.

Similar to every other person I have ever met in Congress, House Speaker Johnson was pressured by the USIC and accepted their position.  Johnson then changed his mind on the priorities of the USIC, sided with them in everything they requested, and pushed all he knew about the corrupt and weaponized conduct of the USIC to the side.

Keep in mind, we know the core ideology of the USIC is political and corrupt. We also know the core motives of the USIC are weaponized against anything that would remove their power tentacles from control.  We know this, because the former USIC Inspector General was an institutionally corrupt guy named Michael Atkinson.

Before becoming the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG), Michael Atkinson was the chief legal counsel at the DOJ National Security Division.  Atkinson was the office lawyer for the Deputy AG in charge of the DOJ-NSD.  Essentially, Atkinson was the internal compliance officer within the DOJ-NSD responsible for making sure all the rules and regulations of the national security division were maintained and accurate.

Michael Atkinson was Acting DAG Mary McCord’s lawyer when she was head of the DOJ-NSD, and when she submitted the fraudulent Title-1 FISA warrant against Carter Page that was used as a surveillance tool against Donald Trump and his campaign.

Atkinson would know the granular details of the FISA application, because it was his job at the DOJ-NSD to audit every U.S. Attorney Office that submitted FISA applications – including Washington DC.

When Mary McCord left the DOJ-NSD, she went to work for Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler on the joint House committee to investigate Donald Trump.  When Michael Atkinson left the DOJ-NSD, he went to work as the Intelligence Community Inspector General.

It was Atkinson who changed the rules allowing an anonymous whistleblower in the CIA (Eric Ciaramella) to make accusations against the office of President Trump.  Whistleblower Ciaramella previously worked for Joe Biden when the corrupt Burisma business venture with Hunter Biden in Ukraine was set up.

Atkinson set up the system for Ciaramella to make an accusation against Trump, while keeping Ciaramella’s name hidden.  This previously not permitted secrecy stopped the general public and DC people from knowing the background political motives of the claim against Trump by hiding Ciaramella.

The combination of Michael Atkinson’s work in the DOJ-NSD (Page FISA warrant), and the work he then did to set up the fraudulent CIA claims against President Trump (with Eric Ciaramella), stands as irrefutable evidence of the corrupt and weaponized activity by the Intelligence Community Inspector General.  This shows how the IC is corrupt/weaponized.

The cherry on the proverbial corruption cake happened when ICIG Michael Atkinson helped construct the fraud against Trump; he then turned over all the fake whistleblower evidence to the Shiff/Nadler committee.  The head of that committee was Mary McCord, Atkinsons former DOJ-NSD cohort.  In essence, Atkinson gave McCord another fraudulently constructed set of documents to attack Donald Trump.

The first time McCord and Atkinson worked together, it was to conduct surveillance of Donald Trump and then hide the evidence.  The second time Atkinson and McCord worked together, it was to impeach Donald Trump and then hide the evidence.

I hope everyone can see how the embeds within the Intelligence Community are completely political and working diligently to retain and operate a weaponized system.  The functionaries deeply inside the mechanisms of the intelligence apparatus are the ones doing this; it’s not just the heads of the executive agencies as appointed by the Obama/Biden administration.

♦ MAIN POINT – The Intelligence Community overall is corrupt – soup to nuts.  If the IC was not comprehensively corrupt, someone like ICIG Michael Atkinson could never become inspector general.

Now…. think about everything that stems from the outcomes of the Intelligence Community!!  Everything about everything the IC puts into the DC system; everything that creates policy and executive/legislative action is politically motivated and corrupt.

It’s not just about renewing FISA-702 surveillance on Americans, it’s everything.

THINK!

Think about wars, borders, national security, threats domestically, threats ignored/downplayed due to ideological makeup of the IC.  Instructions given to politicians, briefings to the President, advice to policymakers, positions of military assets, foreign policy, election security, DHS mandates, border impacts, and so much more.

Meanwhile, the judicial branch defers to the IC on all matters of national security.  Think about the ramifications.

It’s not hard to see how fully collapsed our system is once you realize how fully corrupt the intelligence apparatus has become.

Matt Gaetz Explains Why He Cannot Support Removal of Speaker Johnson


Posted originally on the CTH on April 2, 2024 | Sundance

During this interview with Dan Ball, Representative Matt Gaetz explains why he cannot support the effort by Marjorie Taylor Greene to vacate the chair and remove Speaker Mike Johnson. {Direct Rumble Link}

As outlined by Gaetz, there are two or three specific republicans, former democrats, who will vote to support Hakeem Jeffries if the opportunity arises.  With all of the exits from the GOP House team noted, it will be a struggle to keep the house in republican control in 2025 even with a resounding victory by President Trump.  WATCH:

House Speaker Mike Johnson 3-Point Plan to Fund Ukraine, Senator Graham Happy


Posted originally on the CTH on April 2, 2024 | Sundance

According to those in political circles who are instructed by the intelligence community, funding for Ukraine is the highest national priority.  As an outcome we see all the DC politicians and beltway pundits pushing the same story, funding for Ukraine is the highest priority.

The key politicians within the dynamic exist inside information silos, essentially control mechanisms, where the intelligence community (IC) constructs reality by briefing the politicians about what is going on in the world.  The IC tells the politicians what is happening, defines the importance and instructs the politicians on the priorities.  The IC is never challenged because ultimately the IC has “seven ways to Sunday” to target the politicians if any non-compliance is identified.

Speaker Mike Johnson is one of the “gang-of-eight” members within the legislative branch.  The Go8 are briefed and controlled by the IC, using the exact same intelligence given to the President.  Speaker Johnson has the funding of Ukraine as his top priority, because the IC officials who set priorities have told him it must be.  WATCH (prompted):

.

(Via Fox News) – […] “When we return after this period, we’ll be moving a product. But it’s going to, I think, have some important innovations,” Johnson told Fox News’ “Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy.”

Both the House and Senate are currently on the second week of a two-week recess, when lawmakers are working in their home districts. The House is back on Tuesday, April 9.

Johnson said he has been “working to build consensus” on a supplemental national security and foreign aid package, though he signaled it would look different from prior attempts. He said the House would “be moving it right after the district work period.”

It comes after Republicans killed a $118 billion package with aid for Ukraine, Taiwan, Israel and the U.S. border earlier this year, arguing it did not go far enough to tackle the ongoing border crisis. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and President Biden have been pressuring Johnson to take up a slimmer $95 billion package without border measures.

“We’ve been trying to use that as the only leverage we have to force change on the border. We’re still trying to force the president to use his executive authority, and most of the American people know that he has that authority. He’s not using it,” Johnson argued. 

On Ukraine specifically, he said, “There’s a lot of things that we should do that make more sense and I think we’ll have consensus around.” 

Johnson highlighted three details specifically – the first being the REPO Act introduced in the House last year by Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, and Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio, which would liquidate seized Russian assets and send that as assistance to Ukraine. 

The speaker also pointed out that former President Trump recently floated the idea of aid to Ukraine in the form of a loan, though he did not mention specific terms save for Kyiv paying Washington back if they win the war against Russia.

[…] Johnson described the third proposal, “And then, you know, we want to unleash American energy. We want to have natural gas exports that will help unfund Vladimir Putin’s war effort there.” (read more)

Latest US POLLING – […] “poll shows that two years after Russia’s initial invasion, the Ukraine war has become a partisan dividing line: Majorities of Democrats think it’s extremely or very important to prevent Russia from seizing more Ukrainian territory, to negotiate a permanent ceasefire between the two countries, help Ukraine regain its land and provide general aid to its military, while less than half of Republicans and Independents agree.” (read more)

Sunday Talks, New Speaker Mike Johnson Discusses Israel Support Bill and Looming Budget Deadline


Posted originally on the CTH on October 29, 2023 

Within the budget process there are two different facets. Congress is charged by the Constitution with making decisions about how to spend public money. Those spending decisions are split into two parts: authorization and appropriations.  In the recent political era the “authorization” process has essentially been nulled; no one ever asks if the program (Ukraine, Israel, FBI, etc.) should be funded. 

“Authorization” is done by Congress via legislation that “can establish, continue, or modify an agency, program, or activity for a fixed or indefinite period of time,” per the Congressional Research Service. In other words, authorization is Congress saying that money can be spent on a given item — not that it necessarily will be spent on that item.

“Appropriations” are done by Congress via legislation that authorizes agencies to make payments from the federal Treasury (i.e. it allows them to spend the money that had previously been authorized). Appropriations bills are ordinarily passed each year, but in recent years it has been common for Congress to fund the government “on autopilot” via continuing resolutions that simply allow agencies to continue spending the same amount of money they were spending under the previous funding bill.

Matt Gaetz has been trying to change this dynamic because the external recipients of the appropriation spending, the lobbyists, are the ones driving the continuation of the CR approach. The lobbyists pay congress via campaign donations. Those donations come from congressional appropriation. The CR process maintains the largesse.

Representative Mike Johnson Wins Tuesday Night Secret Ballot for GOP House Speaker


Posted originally on the CTH on October 24, 2023 | Sundance 

If Mike Johnson (R-LA) cannot carry the conference, look for the professionally Republican Kevin McCarthy wing to reassemble and attempt reinstallation.

WASHINGTON DC – Rep. Mike Johnson won a closed-door contest on Tuesday night to become his party’s fourth speaker nominee.

Now, the Louisiana lawmaker faces the much tougher task of securing the 217 votes he needs to win on the House floor. Earlier Tuesday, Johnson came in second to Majority Whip Tom Emmer, who then withdrew after former President Donald Trump publicly came out against him.

So, Republicans went back to the drawing board, and made Johnson the latest aspirant to a position the fractured and exhausted conference can’t seem to fill. He beat out a field of four other candidates, including Byron Donalds in the final ballot by a 128 to 29 vote. Some 44 other Republicans didn’t vote for either of the two men.

After winning the nomination, Johnson said he was “very confident” that he could get 217 votes and said “the intention is to go to the floor” for a vote on Wednesday. (more)
