— House Judiciary GOP 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 (@JudiciaryGOP) August 27, 2024
Mark Zuckerberg is squealing to the press that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris “repeatedly pressured” him to censor content on Facebook before and during their time in the White House. Zuckerberg was a willing participant who openly censored his platform for over four years. Suddenly, Zuckerberg is coming forward to admit that caved to the pressure and worked alongside Biden-Harris to turn his social media platform into a propaganda machine.
“I believe the government pressure was wrong and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it,” Zuckerberg wrote in the letter dated Aug. 26 and posted on the committee’s Facebook page and to its account on X. Anyone who published “disinformation” was censored. You were not allowed to question the COVID narrative and anyone who did was deplatformed. The CEO noted that Biden and Harris even asked him to censor those who were posting memes or joking about anything regarding the pandemic. Zuckerberg stated that in hindsight, he would not allow the White House to use his platform to trample over the First Amendment.
The White House released a statement saying that it did what was best to “protect public health and safety.” As Bobby Kennedy said, the government will ALWAYS state they are looking after public safety when they remove our rights. “Our position has been clear and consistent: we believe tech companies and other private actors should take into account the effects their actions have on the American people while making independent choices about the information they present,” according to the spokesperson.
Not only did Facebook/Meta work to reshape the COVID narrative, but they helped to form the Russian disinformation narrative against Trump and hide the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the 2020 US Presidential Election. The social media platform demoted any reporting from the New York Post to protect Joe Biden’s image, with Zuckerberg saying is has “been made clear that the reporting was not Russian disinformation, and in retrospect, we shouldn’t have demoted the story.” Furthermore, the Biden-Harris tyrants asked Facebook for help with “electoral infrastructure.” “The idea here was to make sure local election jurisdictions across the country had the resources they needed to help people vote safely during a pandemic,” he stated.
So for over four years, Mark Zuckerberg knew that his organization was willingly complacent in spreading actual disinformation to reshape public perception. They even deplatformed former President Donald Trump in addition to spreading LIES to make the public believe that he stole the 2016 US Presidential Election from Hillary with the help of Russia. Now, Zuckerberg said he is coming forward to say that he was simply bullied by the establishment. No – Mark Zuckerberg was complacent in his crime and waited too long to speak out. Perhaps he is worried facing his day in court under a Trump victory, or maybe he is reluctant to watch his wealth vanish under a Kamala presidency. Either way, Biden and Harris should also be held responsible for blatantly ignoring the Constitution and making free speech a punishable offense.
they already “tax” the paper increase in property taxes. My tax bill went up 70% in the last two years. All I enjoy is an increases mortgage statement.
I decided to fight it this time and from now on every year. After having looked into how they do come up with new assessments I am mad as hell.
Thank you for the very educational daily posts.

REPLY: You are absolutely correct. This is the lifeblood of state and local governments. It is true that in ancient times, there were taxes based on ownership of property, not income. Our property taxes today, just like Civil Asset Forfeiture laws, have their roots in religious ideas and then feudal obligations owned by British and European kings or landlords.
In America, taxation only became possible when there was a recognizable monetary system. From 1643 to 1660, wampum — the shells prized by local Native American tribes — were legal tender in Massachusetts. Throughout the 17th century, in Virginia and North Carolina they used tobacco leaves as commodity money. This lack of a formal monetary system in America promoted the development of colonies by facilitating trade. The British did not approve of these commodity-based monetary systems and ended the practice in 1660.
Civil Asset Forfeiture
The United States Supreme Court in J. W. Goldsmith Jr., Grant Co. v. The United States, 254 U.S. 505 (1922), noted the origins of government forfeiture power in the historical practice of Deodand. The court cited Sir William Blackstone (1723–1780), in his “Commentaries of the Laws of England”, which noted that this practice extended back to the times of Ancient Greece. A Deodand is a thing forfeited or given to God, specifically, in law, an object or instrument that becomes forfeited because it has caused a person’s death.
The English common law of Deodands traces back to the 11th century and was applied, on and off, until Parliament finally abolished it in 1846. Deodand is not practiced in the United States or Canada, yet it has been transformed into the government’s right to seize your property even if you have done NOTHING wrong, for it is the object that commits the offense, not you. Politicians have assumed the role of God, and it is no longer a justification that says you had a horse that suddenly was spooked and took off running and killed someone. The horse was then forfeited to really help pay for the funeral costs of the victim. This has been transformed into civil asset forfeiture.
Property Taxes
In the 14th and 15th centuries, British tax assessors used ownership or occupancy of property to estimate a taxpayer’s ability to pay. With the passage of time, this “occupancy” tax came to be regarded as a tax on the property itself. With this, the tax was justified under this theory of In Rem, which was the same idea under Deodands: the property was some sort of living person. In the United Kingdom, the tax system is developed into a system called “rates” based on the annual (rental) value of property. You rent an office, and the “rate” can be as much as the rental value of the property in the financial sector of the City of London.
In 1670, a levy of one-half penny per acre of land was imposed for the support of the colonial government of New Jersey – the colony named after Julius Caesar (Nova Caesaria). In 1682, the establishment of counties led to the property tax becoming the primary source of funding for local government. Then, in 1686, townships in New Jersey were given permission to raise revenues for public improvements. Until the middle of the 19th Century, property taxes were levied on real estate and certain personal property at arbitrary rates within certain limits, referred to as “certainties.” Perhaps that may have been the inspiration for Ben Franklin to say the only two certainties in life are death and taxes.
The British government expected its American colonies to fund their own administrative governments and participate in defending the empire, including the French-Indian Wars. How each colony accomplished these feats was largely left up to them. Paper money was printed to fund various projects. It was an early form of monetization. Here is an issue of Pennsylvania for constructing a lighthouse that displays a picture of the lighthouse on the reverse side of the notes. The Quakers created the first prison, and the word “Penitentiary” was used because you were sent there to do penance in solitary confinement.
The growth of the property tax in America was greatly influenced by this theory of taxing the rich, which began with local government, and this idea of fairness based on class, which gave way to equal taxation of wealth, which was justified by the development of equalitarian ideology, as governments needed to justify taxation.
Property Taxes in Colonial America began with two taxes that altered how people lived. There was the Window Tax that inspired row homes in Colonial America. They imposed a tax on every window you had for the more windows you were disgustingly wealthy. That tax simply became the standard, which was why row homes became the norm in the oldest cities, as illustrated here in Philadelphia. Row Homes eliminated the need for windows on two sides of the house and thus lowered the taxes.
Politicians, realizing that Row Homes was defeating their REVENUE collection, imposed a new tax on steps. You will also see some colonial houses had just one step and others two or three. You were then taxed on the number of steps you had. Hence, the saying “taking a step up in life” had its root in the fact that you were rich because you had more than one step and were taxed at a higher rate.
Taxes have always altered behavior. The higher the taxes in a city, the more people moved to the suburbs in ancient times as they do today. When the Revolutionary War began, the colonies had well-developed tax systems that made war against the British Superpower of the day even thinkable. The tax system varied from colony to colony by this time. There evolved a variety of taxes that went beyond property. Tariffs were levied on goods imported or exported, and Excise Taxes were levied on consumption goods, especially liquor and, of course, English Tea (i.e. Boston Tea Party). Capitation or Poll Taxes were also levied at a fixed rate on all adult males and sometimes on slaves. Property Taxes had expanded into what you might call tariffs on specific enumerated items beyond windows and steps. Faculty Taxes were levied on the faculty or earning capacity of persons following specific trades or having certain skills.
During the war, colonial tax rates increased by at least 700%, taxation became a matter of heated debate, and some led to violent protests. Settlers far from markets complained that taxing land on a per-acre basis was unfair and demanded that property taxation be based on value since all land was not equally productive. In the Southern Colonies, they tended to rely more on the poll tax than on the value of property. In some cases, changes in the tax system caused the wealthy to complain. In New York, they created the Excess Profits Tax, which had been levied on war profits. This is what Kamala is claiming to do to food. New Jersey came up with a tax on intangible personal property as well that was imposed on an arbitrary basis. This intangible property tax, in addition to real estate, was finally abandoned in New Jersey only in 1945. Some states, like Virginia, impose a sales tax when you buy a car and then subject you to an annual property tax on the car based on where you park it.
By the end of the American Revolution, the concept of “equality” articulated in Thomas Jefferson’s draft of the Declaration of Independence was being twisted from political rights to taxation on wealth.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Many began pondering the meaning of “equality,” and the self-interest of those in government justified their greed for more and more revenue, arguing that the term had implications for taxation as well. Governments looked upon the people as economic slaves and often saw little distinction between political equality and the tax system. Governments were adopting discrimination based on class and wealth, which was perhaps the philosophy emerging in the French Revolution, cutting off the heads of the rich. They even went as far as to confiscate the property of the Catholic Church. Unsurprisingly, the idea of communism emerged from the French Commune Movement that surfaced in 1871.
Constitutionalizing Class Warfare in the Nineteenth Century
To a large extent, Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations (1723-1790), published in 1776, articulates an important view of the economics of government. In 1796, seven of the fifteen states levied uniform Capitation/Poll Taxes. Twelve states imposed taxes on some or all livestock, taking the idea of all property. Land or Property Taxes were applied in various ways, yet only four states taxed the property by valuation. Looking closely, we see that no state’s Constitution requires taxation to be imposed by value. There is also no evidence that all kinds of property tax rates are uniform.
The very year Karl Marx (1818-1883) was born, Illinois finally adopted the first uniformity clause. This trend began as Missouri followed in 1820, and Tennessee in 1834 required that land be taxed at a uniform amount per acre with a provision that land be taxed according to its value (ad valorem). By the end of the 19th century, 33 states had included uniformity clauses requiring that all property be taxed equally by value, which is where we are today.
The ancient Roman governor of a province could become very rich. The province would pay taxes to Rome, but it was left to the discretion of the governor what and how to tax giving rise to the term Tax Farmer. There were two classes of taxes: the tributa, which included the tributum soli (a land tax), and the tributum capitis (a poll tax). The second form of taxation was the vectigalia which consisted of four kinds of tax: the portoria (poll tax), the vicesima hereditatium (inheritance tax), the vicesima liberatis (postage tax for communication), and the centesima rerum venalium (sales tax on auctions). The Roman citizens did not pay taxes directly to Rome but to the province.
With the American Independence, we ended up with both federal and state taxation much different from ancient Rome. Some southern states imposed taxes on property income since colonial days. The Constitution empowered the federal government to raise taxes at a uniform rate throughout the nation, and required that “direct taxes” be imposed only in proportion to the Census population of each state. Federal income tax was actually first introduced under Abraham Lincoln with the Revenue Act of 1861 to fund the Civil War. It always appears to be a war that increases both debt and taxes. Lincoln actually argued unconstitutionally that states were NOT sovereigns, and with this line of thinking, he imposed an income tax that was renewed in later years and reformed in 1894 in the form of the Wilson-Gorman tariff.
There were legal challenges that argued whether the income tax then in force constituted a “direct tax” that was forbidden by the Constitution. In Springer v. United States 102 U.S. 586 (1881), the Supreme Court upheld the tax regime then in force. Then, in 1894, a new statute was overruled for being an unapportioned direct tax in the case of Pollock v. Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company 157 U.S. 429 (1895), affirmed on rehearing, 158 U.S. 601 (1895). This was the case that had to be overruled by the passage of the 16th Amendment. That was naturally created so States could then charge income taxes in direct violation of the original Founding Fathers since most were taken-in by Marxism.
In response to the passage of the 16th Amendment, proposed in 1909 and made law in 1913, our leftist sympathizing politicians of the time canceled the “apportionment” requirement for income taxes, allowing class warfare. Federal income tax was thereupon reintroduced in the Revenue Act of 1913 with the promise only those disgusting rich people would ever pay INCOME TAXES.
In Brushaber v. Union Pacific Railroad Company, 240 U.S. 1 (1916), the Revenue Act of 1913 was ruled to be constitutional. The 16th Amendment removed the requirement that income taxes be apportioned equally among the states according to population (Article I, Section 9, clause 4 of the U.S. Constitution). The Revenue Act of 1913 imposed income taxes that were not apportioned among the states according to their population. The Court stated: “…there can be no dispute that there was power by virtue of the Amendment during that period to levy the tax, without apportionment.” A separate excise tax was also imposed on corporations.
In United States v. James Daniel Good Real Property, 510 U.S. 43 (1993), the Court explicitly stated: “We have rejected the view that the applicability of one constitutional amendment pre-empts the guarantees of another.” The Court pointed to Soldal v. Cook County, 506 U. S. 56, 70 (1992), where they held that the seizure of property violated both the 4th and 5th Amendments. I believe the income tax is UNCONSTITUTIONAL, for you cannot overrule the restriction on proportional taxation by each member state that was the centerpiece of state rights and the retention of state’s rights in light of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. But in 1913, finding anyone who was not a Marxist-leaning politician or judge was hard. Only with the 1917 Russian Revolution did it become clear where socialism would lead. Although this is a valid legal argument, pressing it in courts will be fruitless, for today, they will NEVER strip the power of taxing individuals for income and threatening prosecution if they do not do as commanded by the Deep State.
Special counsel Jack Smith filed a superseding indictment in the same DC case, showing how desperate the Democrats are to stop Trump from winning the White House, for he and RFK would shut down the Neocons who are taking us into World War III. Smith is outright seeking to Interfere in the 2024 Election. Smith was also never appointed or approved by Congress. He is an unauthorized hack of Merrick Garland, another Neocon who hates Russians. Garland also claims that his family was persecuted by Russians, along with Antony Blinken and Victoria Nuland. What are the odds that three people with personal family grievances with Russians control the Biden White House?
The FBI has conceded that they had so many agents there on January 6th that they could not even give a number to Congress. There is reasonable doubt as to who actually broke into the Capitol. Was it FBI undercover that created the affair to allow Pelosi to suspend normal rules for counting the votes? They want to blame Trump, but the beneficiary was actually Pelosi and Biden. There was also concern that calling in the National Guard presented an unspoken risk. Those in the military tend to lean more toward Trump than Biden. There were concerns that the National Guard could have switched sides and supported Trump vs Pelosi/Biden. After all, that is how coups often take place.
The actual rigging of the election took place in Congress. The claims that Trump denied bringing in the National Guard was false. Retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg testified before Congress that President Donald Trump did, in fact, request National Guard troops be deployed in Washington D.C. before the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Kellogg also said he was present at the time of Trump’s request and that Congress should release his testimony to the public, but the Democrats withheld that testimony. The American Military News also wrote:
“David Bossie, who wrote the Washington Times op-ed noted Jan. 3 conversation between Trump and Miller and said the Jan. 6 select committee is “crafting a narrative that doesn’t quite add up and omits important facts that would not stand if there were proper Republican representation on the committee.”
NBC News reported that the commanding general of the District of Columbia National Guard told members of Congress Wednesday that he had troops ready to deploy immediately to the Capitol on Jan. 6th. Still, it took more than three hours for the Defense Department to give the green light. This has raised questions about the Deep State and did they delayed the National Guard to ensure that the FBI broke the windows and led the protestors into the Capitol so that Pelosi was able to declare EMERGENCY RULES, shutting down all challenges to any state vote. If a state is challenged, it is to be debated in the full House. Pelosi imposed the COVID Rule that restricts the maximum number of people on the floor to 53. Any election rigging took place in Congress. It was not about voting machines or dead people voting which always takes place in every election.
Jack Smith has revised everything because he would have had to reveal his case is a mini-trial all over evidence in light of the Supreme Court. If Smith had tried to proceed under the original indictment would have given Trump a hearing that would have turned into a mini-trial. Smith would have been forced to bring in his witnesses and experts to testify and make the case for why Trump’s charges should remain or should be dropped. This superseding indictment was really to fold his case, which would have been questionable to begin with, and he would have lost respect in the public eye all before the election. The judges in all of Trump’s ongoing criminal cases must go through to apply the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity decision.
While we have the diehard Democrats who do not care about the Constitution or the rule of law, they spell “justice” using two words: “JUST US” and do not care about the future. The Supreme Court also held that prosecutors have ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY and judges, but the President should not be above the law? Why? They are?
The Supreme Court in 1993 also was confronted by the constant abuse of prosecutors in an investigative context. They finally ruled that abuse of the investigative process is grounds to deny the prosecutor’s absolute immunity under Buckley v. Fitzsimmons, 509 U.S. 259 (1993). That ruling reversed the holding of Absolute Immunity for prosecutors. The Immunity decision in the Trump case follows the same path that official acts are immune, the same as Smith enjoys. Still, UNOFFICIAL acts do not carry absolute immunity in the same way as the improper investigative acts Smith.
So let’s stop the partisan BS, and without the rule of law, NO NATION can stand!!!!!!!
This superseding indictment was to avoid an evidentiary hearing that would have been a mini-trial that would have Smith losing much of his wind, looking to the entire world that is just a partisan hack with the sole purpose of interfering in the 2024 election.

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose announced today that he has formally referred evidence of non-citizen voter registrations to Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost for further review and potential prosecution. With each passing day, we can see what is taking place. This election here in 2024 may indeed be the last one. There is even a serious risk that this will end up in the Supreme Court for no matter who wins, there will be lawsuits filed. The Democrats have stirred up a real hate fest over Trump. When Obama was elected, even those who voted against him just moved on. Today that is not going to happen.
I wish this forecast was wrong, but I think everyone can now see that what the computer has been forecasting is unfolding before our eyes. Be prepared for violence. You are the best judge of your particular area. With the flood of illegal aliens, it is not just the presidency at stake here. Even people like DeSantis and his failure to address this issue of voters proving that they are citizens may come back and dethrone him, and it will be his own fault.

Continuing in the series of articles 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.
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 damning 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 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?
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.

It’s really not Jack Smith, so we should drop the pretenses. Mary McCord, Norm Eisen and Andrew Weissmann have recrafted a new DC indictment against President Trump by dropping around 10 pages of fraudulent evidence from the prior indictment and labeling it a “superseding indictment.”
The 36-page indictment is available HERE. Essentially, after the supreme court decision on immunity, the majority of the previous case against President Trump was likely to fail, so Mary, Norm and Andrew went back and modified the previously lawfare to fit a narrower scale as requested by the supreme court.
The Lawfare crew then hand off the indictment to Jack Smith who runs it through a Grand Jury, and re-files it as a new set of issues; however, the majority of the case is structurally the same, they just took out the evidence they were using. This fiasco does not appear to be any better than the previous pages of Lawfare.
(Via Politico) – […] The new indictment removes some specific allegations against Trump but contains the same four criminal charges, including conspiracy to defraud the United States. It’s a signal that Smith believes the high court’s immunity decision doesn’t pose a major impediment to convicting the former president.
“The superseding indictment, which was presented to a new grand jury that had not previously heard evidence in this case, reflects the Government’s efforts to respect and implement the Supreme Court’s holdings and remand instructions,” Smith’s team wrote in an accompanying court filing.
The development is unlikely to alter the reality that a trial in the case before the November election looks impossible. In fact, the new indictment could drag the case out further — defense attorneys often seek delays after prosecutors revise criminal allegations.
Both sides face a Friday deadline to propose next steps to U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, the Biden appointee who is overseeing the proceedings in the trial court. Chutkan has scheduled a Sept. 5 hearing to set a course for the case. (read more)

I had been pleading for RFK to join Trump’s team as Attorney General as it is the most powerful position in Washington, providing Kennedy absolute immunity, AND he can clear out the swamp. Kennedy joined Trump’s team but his position has not been announced. However, Kennedy said his main goal in joining Trump is to take down Big Pharma, the USDA and FDA to MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN.
The food in America has been making people sick and obese. US food standards are already extremely low and other countries, including China and Russia, refuse to buy many US-produced products as they are not safe for human consumption. For example, the US government allows ractopamineto be injected in pigs. Over 160 countries refused to buy pork from America because ractopamine is linked to cancer, autism, cardiovascular disease, and many other issues. How did they allow this chemical to pass health checks? Well, there are no health checks or regulations on what can be sold to the masses. The government conducted ONE study of six men, and one became ill with heart issues. That is why it is comical when the government implements regulation in the name of protecting consumer health. They only care about their bottom line.
We have been informed that the ingredients in our food are carcinogenic. The USDA and FDA label these same products as safe for human consumption, constantly altering the requirements. There have been countless food recalls this year but half the food on the shelves should be permanently banished. The World Health Organization revealed that aspartame was carcinogenic, for example, and yet US health organizations still allow companies to use the chemical to add sweetness to their product. Then they label the product as a “sugar-free” healthy alternative.
Democrats were quick to make changes to our food under Biden, but only to pander to the woke left. We saw products like Aunt Jemimah’s, Uncle Ben’s, Mrs. Butterworth’s, and others quickly remove their products from the shelves to be rebranded. The Democrats care if the logo may offend someone, but they do not care if the product actually contains carcinogens or other poisons.
US health organizations allow food companies to spray the produce with pesticides and inject livestock with more chemicals, hormones, and antibiotics. Even the packaging standards in the US are lower than in other parts of the world. Look at all the glass products on the shelves outside the US. We use cheap plastics instead. This is why obesity rates are through the roof, as our natural bodies were not designed to process these unnatural chemicals.
I have many European friends who say that they feel inflamed and sick after visiting America because our food quality is so poor. They wonder why nearly 40% of the population is obese, and the average life expectancy is declining.
The average American will not live to see 80-years of age. The average life expectancy stands around 76.4 years, according to the CDC, with women living an average of 79.3 years and men expiring sooner at 73.5. Those figures have been steadily declining each year. Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf recently spoke out about the “disturbing” trend and believes it deserves “urgent attention.”
The Society of Actuaries is also raising the alarm, noting that young Americans are dying rapidly. “Mortality was 26 percent higher among insured 35-to-44-year-olds, and 19 percent higher for 25-to-34-year-olds continuing a death spike that peaked in the third quarter of 2021 at a staggering 101 percent and 79 percent above normal, respectively,” the Hill stated in a recent article. The Society of Actuaries stated that COVID-19 is not to blame. Actuaries and insurance companies are pricing in younger life expectancy rates through 2030.
The World Economic Forum and Democrat philanthropists like Bill Gates are pushing the masses to consume BUGS and lab-grown meat. The cultivated fake meat industry was valued at around $247 million in 2022 and it is expected to spike to $25 billion by 2030 – right on time for Agenda 2030. The politicians who sold out to the climate change agenda believe the people should consume altered cheap food to avoid cattle that creates emissions. There have been discussions of banning gardening and Biden has already implemented laws to curb hunting and fishing.
Kennedy was the most outspoken politician when it came to the COVID crisis. He created the Children’s Defense network and has pledged countless funds to expose how Big Pharma has been making people sick long before COVID. It is an issue that Kennedy is truly passionate about and would work to combat.
Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, and others created a vaccine that killed more people than it protected. Big Pharma has always been above the law because they have successfully purchased our politicians through corrupt lobbying. America spends more on health than any other nation, and yet, our society is physically and mentally sick.
I thank everyone who took the time to write to their representatives or directly to Trump and RFK. A Trump victory is now a victory for the people. Our computer shows that we can pull off a landslide. Only three presidents have ever won 60%+. Our computer shows that we have a chance to accomplish this feat. Rest assured that the establishment will do everything in its power to prevent Trump and Kennedy from draining the swamp, especially now that Kennedy has set his sights on the FDA, USDA, and Big Pharma.

President Trump announced via Truth Social that both political campaigns had agreed to terms of a presidential debate on September 10th. However, according to Politico – the Harris campaign is saying they did not agree to all the outlined terms.
.
(Via Politico) – […] the Harris campaign rejects the claim that the Sept. 10 debate will have the same rules from June. The issue regarding whether mics will be turned on during the entire debate is still being discussed, a Harris campaign official said.
“Both candidates have publicly made clear their willingness to debate with unmuted mics for the duration of the debate to fully allow for substantive exchanges between the candidates — but it appears Donald Trump is letting his handlers overrule him. Sad,” a Harris campaign official said in a statement to POLITICO.
The rules of the debate have become a point of contention between the two campaigns in recent days, POLITICO reported, over the issue of whether mics should or should not be muted.
The Harris campaign wanted the mics to be hot throughout the ABC debate, which had been the standard in past presidential debates. But Trump’s campaign pushed to keep to the terms he agreed to with Biden in June, despite the former president saying Monday he’d “rather have” microphones on. The CNN debate also had no studio audience, no opening remarks and consisted of two commercial breaks. (read more)
It will be interesting to watch this debate because Kamala Harris has never seemed to be that intellectual.
Harris is like a female version of George Clooney, who -not coincidentally- was groomed along with Barack Obama to be a possible presidential candidate. However, as the story was repeated, eventually the handlers of Clooney had to give up because despite all their efforts he just did not have the intellectual capacity to pull it off.

Several people have asked why the recent outlines about Tulsi Gabbard (Trump endorsement) and RFK Jr (Tucker Carlson interview), were presented without any opinion or analysis to accompany the articles. Allow me to explain.
Friends, first, I am in action mode identifying who specifically is uploading state/county level registration data for key state ballot printing operations. It sounds like boring footwork because it is, well, boring footwork. This is not sexy, but hopefully this can have a big impact where needed.
Additionally, I am also just like you – trying to figure out how the intersections of the IC are playing out within this newly created coalition of MAGA and influential Democrats, the Unity Party as it is termed.
Essentially, on some aspects to these recent developments I’m trying to figure it out along with you; while my attention is operating at lower level toward what might be called the theatrics of political events. Ballots matter right now more than all this other stuff.
That said, I am certainly not buying a lot of what is being put directly in front of me to purchase. Someone recently said we have just accepted this intelligence operation of the 4th branch of government as if it is a hurdle to jump, or a gate with a lock to pick.
I’m not the guy that just accepts this stuff as our – “new normal.” Eff these IC clowns.
Another aspect is how all of these anti-Trump anti-commonsense narratives (essentially lies) over the past several years are just accepted as the baseline for point making. I just tune the conversation out because the premise is false, like RFK Jr saying yesterday that President Trump is “reprehensible” for what he did on January 6th, and Tucker Carlson just sitting there nodding in agreement like a goofy tool.
My mind sees that conversation and says, “what the heck is that all about?” They both seem intelligent, Tucker has presented the FBI J6 stuff before, and yet they talk about J6 as if Trump was raging at people to attack Capitol Hill government.
This conversation as broadcast just doesn’t make logical sense; not just in the way they are talking about stuff, but in the content of their discussion – it’s like watching a performance that isn’t quite scripted but yet both of the participants have agreed on points to include (and those points are goofy).
Usually, when I see this type of activity, I put it in the ‘possible IC operation’ file. Yet, I’m told by everyone in MAGA world that this is the best type of conversation for coalition building and don’t look at RFK Jr with my customary skepticism because unity or something.
I’m sorry, but I would rather hear about Trump administration staffing (who is on the transition team) from the official campaign, not random members shooting from the hip. Beyond RFK Jr calling Trump “reprehensible,” a very odd way to talk about being supportive of a candidate you just endorsed, RFK Jr acts like MAGA is supposed to join with him, align with him, agree with him, benefit from him, not vice-versa.
Essentially, if you watch the messaging from RFK Jr and his key influencers like Tucker Carlson, they are replacing Donald Trump (at least JD Vance) with RFK Jr., that doesn’t seem cool.
Then someone reminded me that Steve Bannon, Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson, Roger Stone and Michael Flynn all wanted Robert F Kennedy Jr to be Trump’s vice president. Not only did they want it, but they all talked about it constantly, perhaps that’s part of the dynamic we are watching.
When RFK Jr says President Trump’s people reached out to him to become Vice President before he offered the position to JD Vance; RFK Jr saying he rejected the offer; I’m left to wonder why Kennedy would make such a statement?
Now, in addition to accepting RFK Jr being unchallenged as he says, “President Trump is reprehensible,” I’m supposed to find “unity” in the ego of a very self-centered Kennedy saying he will be inside President Trump’s administration, on President Trump’s transition team making decisions, after publicly saying he rejected the offer of VP, which -if we are honest- is said only to make JD Vance smaller, and that speaks directly to the character of RFK Jr.
When I look at all of this, and granted I am not exclusively focused on it – so I might be missing stuff, the construct taking place here smells a lot like an influence operation. Yes, I want to win… I want all of us to win… However, factually I’m already tired of people shouting “purity” at me as if it is some kind of disparagement.
If expecting Robert F Kennedy to refrain from calling President Donald Trump “reprehensible” is some kind of purity test, then consider me guilty of demanding a purity test. I don’t mean to be argumentative / not a team player, but as we get into formation for the last 70 days before this election, I don’t want the guy standing next to me stabbing me in the neck with his pencil either (hey, appropriate Philly reference).
I’m also absorbing what it means for the RFK Jr endorsement to resurrect the “Q” tribe into 2024.
The CTH social media feed is suddenly swarmed again with Q supporters talking about the RFK Jr endorsement of President Trump being some long-ago-created master plan. Another ‘plan to trust’ cycle of “drops” and “proofs” was not something I expected. Seeing this also raises my suspicions of an intelligence community at work.
As long as all of this MAGA/Democrat coalition stuff ends up with a net voter benefit for President Trump, I guess it’s all good. However, if any of these unity efforts are done with an intent to mitigate the financial effectiveness of a Trump second term, ie. the general origins of the DC oppositional system, then we need to intercept more than just fraudulent ballot printing operations.
Remember, a few important things. This opposition group are relentless.
DC tried to cancel him – that didn’t work.
DC tried to block him – that didn’t work.
Someone tried to kill him – that didn’t work.
Lawfare tried to stop his ability to campaign – that didn’t work.
…. And there are still trillions at stake.
“That he which hath no stomach to this fight, Let him depart; his passport shall be made And crowns for convoy put into his purse: We would not die in that man’s company That fears his fellowship to die with us.”
“This day is called the feast of Crispian: He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named, And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age, Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours, And say ‘To-morrow is Saint Crispian:’ Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars. And say ‘These wounds I had on Crispin’s day.’
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot, But he’ll remember with advantages What feats he did that day: then shall our names. Familiar in his mouth as household words Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter, Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester, Be in their flowing cups freshly remember’d.
This story shall the good man teach his son; And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remember’d; We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition: And gentlemen in England now a-bed Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.”
