Trump on DNI Gabbard: “By the way, she’s coming along, right?”


posted originally on August 31, 2025 | Sundance

We watch and read these interviews not to learn details of events, but rather to gauge President Trump’s awareness of the events as contrast by the information management team around him.

Unfortunately, we have yet to see an approved interview where the interviewer has a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter around their questioning. The Daily Caller’s White House Correspondent Reagan Reese sat down for an hour-long interview with President Trump on Friday to repeat the pattern.

[READ THE INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT HERE]

We pull the following quote from the transcript and ponder the ramifications against all previous research into the information control dynamic.

When discussing the activity of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, President Trump replies: “By the way, she’s coming along, right?”

There are only two people in the orbit of President Trump who are considered a high priority risk by those in the consequential part of the deep state, DNI Tulsi Gabbard and NSA Marco Rubio.

Kash Patel, Pam Bondi, Dan Bongino et al, are easily managed by the system around them.  Russiagate presents no threat.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard stands at the gateway to the larger Silo. Her intent is direct and consequential. Spygate is a serious threat.

The supportive positions of CIA Director John Ratcliffe and National Security Advisor Marco Rubio, both with a long-range muscle memory of the power behind the gate, are unknown variables.

Lawfare Operative Norm Eisen Is Lawyer for Embattled Fed Governor Lisa Cook

I had not been paying close attention to the overarching issues of President Trump removing Fed Governor Lisa Cook for cause – fraudulent filings on her three mortgage applications. However, the appearance of Norm Eisen as her lawyer certainly highlights the political nature of the defense effort.

Norm Eisen is a well-known Lawfare operative, second only to Mary McCord in his high visibility and connections to all of the anti-Trump efforts. Eisen, like McCord, is at the center of the leftist effort to stop the Trump agenda through the manipulation of the courts, ie. ‘Lawfare.’

Norm Eisen left, Abbe Lowell right. Both lawyers for Lisa Cook

WASHINGTON – A federal judge likely will not rule until next week on whether Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserve board, can remain in her job despite President Donald Trump’s attempt to fire her.

At the first hearing on Cook’s lawsuit against Trump, U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb grappled with the legal issues raised by Trump’s unprecedented move against Cook but offered few hints about how she might rule. The judge, an appointee of Joe Biden, acknowledged the limits of the courts’ power to question the president’s motives, while expressing concerns about the lack of due process afforded to Cook.

While the lawyers defending Ms. Cook dance around the central issue, there is no doubt Ms. Cook lied on three mortgage applications, claiming primary residency in both Illinois and Georgia within a week.

Norm Eisen appears in the footage below, but no one seems to notice him or identify him by name.

Spygate -vs- Russiagate


Posted originally on August 30, 2025 | Sundance

Barack Obama didn’t like Hillary Clinton.  Barack Obama didn’t even care about Hillary Clinton in the 2016 campaign.  Barack Obama would have liked nothing more than to watch Hillary Clinton go down in a ball of flames, until something happened in 2016 that changed the dynamic.

Suddenly, Barack Obama needed Hillary Clinton to win the 2016 election…

That my friends, is the reason why so many people get lost in the story of the 2016 election and the eventual Trump-Russia conspiracy.  However, once you understand what changed in those April and May 2016 moments, everything reconciles.

The U.S. government, under the President Obama administration, was spying on American citizens.

It started with Barack Obama and AG Eric Holder’s use of the IRS database in the 2010 midterm, against the primary threat of the Tea Party movement.  However, an IRS whistleblower from the Cincinnati field office took the continued use of the IRS off the table.

From the period of mid-2012 to April-2016, the administration factually and demonstrably shifted to using the power of electronic surveillance to conduct political spying operations using the NSA database and the metadata captures within it.

However, once that NSA surveillance and spying was identified in April 2016, President Obama had a problem.  That’s where the Obama alignment with the Clinton ‘dirty trick’ comes into play.  After May 2016, Obama needed Hillary Clinton to win the election.  The rest is “Russiagate” history.

Those who remember the 2015/2016 presidential race will remember President Obama never campaigned for Hillary Clinton during the 2016 primary.  After all, Bernie Sanders was potentially going to upend Clinton until the DNC stepped heavily on the scales to assist her, and team Sanders was furious. Then suddenly, following the California primary, Barack went all in.

There is a distinct timeline shift during this period that most seem to overlook, because “Russiagate” was/is easily the shiniest thing for people to follow.  However, it was the precursor scandal, ‘spygate’, that is more critical yet gets almost no attention.

Here it becomes critical for people to understand exactly what was taking place.  Absolutely nothing had anything to do with: the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, aka FISA – surveillance impacting Americans (FISA-702), the FISA Court, masking, minimizing or unmasking.  None of those terms apply. What the Obama administration was doing was simply spying.

The only reason the aforementioned terms enter the discussion is through the method used by the NSA compliance officer to reveal the nature of how the database was being compromised.  The only tool for the NSA to reveal the spying was to report it to the FISA Court which holds jurisdiction over the use of the database.

When FISA Judge Rosemary Collyer was made aware of the spying, in October 2016 by NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers, she then interpreted the NSA admissions through the language of the FISA Court.

When Judge Collyer released her report in March 2017 [SOURCE], that’s how the FISA terminology entered the discussion.  However, nothing about the use of the NSA database to conduct political surveillance or spying had anything to do with the Obama administration using the FISA-702 authority to exploit the system.

Collyer noted that 85% of the Obama administration’s searches of the database, from 2012 to 2016, had nothing to do with FISA inquires. No attempt at minimization or justification was being done, and further, only 15% of the use of the database was being done in compliance with the rules governing the use of the database.

Tens of thousands of searches were conducted by the Obama administration, as they used their access to the NSA database to spy on their targets.  The NSA identified the spying culprits colloquially as “FBI Contractors,” but factually nothing was ever provided to verify that assertion.

In fact, the only attribution that could be associated with the “contractor” claim, is the workstations and user access IDs deployed to search the database.   To this day, we do not know where those workstations were located, or who was behind the user IDs operating the searches.

What we do know is that massive spying operations were undertaken during the period from 2012 to 2016, and many of those searches were for the same people repeatedly; meaning the same people were under constant illegal surveillance, and all of their electronic information was being reviewed by the Obama administration.

♦ Again, just for emphasis, the Obama administration was spying on targeted Americans repeatedly, and absolutely none of the activity had anything to do with FISA authorities.  It was the existence of the NSA captures, the database itself, which brought the Obama administration to a place where it became useful for their spying operation.

The use of the NSA database for domestic spying operations followed the moment when the use of the IRS database was no longer feasible.  Once congress and the American people became aware of the IRS and DOJ’s collaborative “special research project,” a targeted surveillance mechanism that culminated in the IRS/DOJ agreeing to settle a class-action lawsuit, the Obama administration switched from using the IRS data to using the NSA data.  It really is that simple.

Obviously, the existence of the NSA database itself is problematic.  However, the problem expands exponentially when we realize the false sense of security, the FISA firewall, is nothing more than a ruse to keep gathering the data of Americans.

The American people are told the data captures and FISA searches are being done as part of the national security system, where searching the database is a critical tool for the various intelligence agencies to identify threats.  However, as shown by President Obama’s activity in 2012 through 2016, only 15% of that activity was part of a national security effort.

The overwhelming amount of activity that takes place within the NSA database, is simply the U.S. government conducting electronic surveillance.  That’s the issue highlighted by “Spygate,” President Barack Obama’s unlawful use of the data captures to monitor targets identified by the administration.

Just like the Cincinnati IRS whistleblower (’12), once the NSA compliance officer noticed what was happening (March ’16), the trail of spying became a risk to the Obama administration.  That’s the moment when Hillary Clinton’s planned deployment of the vast Russian conspiracy became of value to Obama and the surveillance perpetrators.

The Clinton campaign had been planning to use Russia as a dirty trick tool against the winner of the GOP nomination.  The testimony of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign manager, Robby Mook, even admitted it.

John Durham – Q: In the Summer of 2016, was Mr. Trump’s relationship with Russia something that the campaign focused on?

Robby Mook – A: Yes. I mean, it was frankly something we were focused on before that time. But absolutely.

Q: Mr. Mook, before the break you had testified that there was a conversation in which you told Ms. Clinton about the proposed plan to provide the Alfa-Bank allegations to the media; is that correct?

A: Correct. 

Q: And what was her response?

A: All I remember is that she agreed with the decision.

[SOURCE]

What became known as “Russiagate” was the 2016 Clinton campaign smear that was directed at Republican candidate Donald Trump.  However, “Spygate” preceded the deployment of the smear.

The Obama administration used Clinton’s Russiagate to hide Obama’s Spygate.

President Obama’s support for the dirty trick Hillary Clinton created, starts with his motive to hide the spying.

There are events happening in the background. I will be providing information within the next two weeks about efforts underway to assist current govt officials. The password for protected posts is: wolverines

Australian Patriots Plan National March for Sovereignty Against Globalist Immigration Policy


Posted originally on August 30, 2025 | Sundance

On Sunday the nationalists in Australia are organizing a series of Australia-First marches confronting the issues of excessive migration, globalism, corporate control of politicians, population change and the destruction of Australian cultural identity.

Obviously, this represents a threat to the authoritarian regime currently controlling Australian govt.

As with the yellow vests in France, the AfD party in Germany, the MAGA movement in the USA, U.K Brexit and the current resurgence of British people against mass migration, these nationalist rallies are a direct threat to the globalist politicians and their corporate benefactors.  The Australian government has pledged to crack down on non-compliant dissident voices.

It is worth remembering the worldwide experience with COVID-19 enforcement. Arguably, we can assert the most oppressive western actions to enforce COVID-19 mitigation were conducted by the same national governments’ now being confronted over mass migration.

If you remember 2020, the eastern Europe region currently under extreme EU pressure to comply with anti-Russia policy was the same region with the most brutal COVID-19 compliance enforcement. France, Germany and the EU overall were the originators of the COVID-19 passport.

Similarly, no nation was as openly ridiculous with their heavy-handed COVID-19 and vaccine enforcement than Australia and New Zealand. Quarantine camps, restricted travel, forced vaccinations and lockdowns were not only carried out, but they were also enforced with arrests by very militarized police.

This is the backdrop where Australians will be attempting to organize and protest.

AUSTRALIA – […] Earlier this month, March for Australia said protests are scheduled across the country on August 31 to demand the government end “mass immigration”.

It claimed “Australia’s unity and shared values had been eroded by policies and movements that divide us” and migration had “torn at the bonds” holding communities together.

“This march is a stand for the people, culture and nation that built Australia – and for our right to decide its future,” its website read.

In a new update on Monday, the group posted flyers about the nine locations of the protests, saying “thousands of Australians” will simultaneously march on Sunday.

“Big business wants endless migration. Whether it’s Coles and Woolworths, the big banks, Harry Triguboff, universities or the Business Council of Australia – they all want “big Australia (a population of 100+m ASAP),” the statement said.

“Each migrant means they can sell another 365 days worth of food or another mortgage. The only cost? Our nation.

“Whether you’re concerned for our culture, wages, traffic, housing supply, water supply, environmental destruction, infrastructure, hospitals, crime or loss of community, we are stronger together! Don’t leave this work to be done by your children.” (more)

Federal Appeals Court Rules 7-4 IEEPA Tariffs Unlawful, Decision Qualifiers and Narrow Application – Tariffs Remain Pending SCOTUS Review


Posed originally on August 30, 2025 | Sundance 

There are trillions at stake. The current 7-4 decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit surrounds a May decision by the U.S. Court of International Trade. The original case concluded that President Trump exceeded his authority under the 1977 law he invoked to impose both the fentanyl trafficking tariffs and his worldwide tariffs, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). [SEE RULING HERE]

“We are not addressing whether the President’s actions should have been taken as a matter of policy. Nor are we deciding whether IEEPA authorizes any tariffs at all. Rather, the only issue we resolve on appeal is whether the Trafficking Tariffs and Reciprocal Tariffs imposed by the Challenged Executive Orders are authorized by IEEPA. We conclude they are not.”

It is obvious the Democrat appointed majority are tenuous in their position.  No one doubts the presidential power to declare a national emergency.  To wit, the ruling highlights a very nervous court with much of the language straddling the fence trying not give the impression they are interfering in Article II presidential powers to make foreign policy decisions.

Unelected judges restricting the power of the Executive Branch, and by extension restricting a President elected by the majority of the nations’ citizens to address a national emergency, is not a construct supported by the Supreme Court.  The six activist judges on the federal appeals court panel seemingly know this; however, the power of the political -and I would guess financial- pressure compels them.

The court deferred their ruling which will not take effect until Oct. 14, giving the Trump administration time to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court.  President Trump responded via Truth Social.
