In order to present an accurate record of events, it is important to remain focused on specifics. During the period from May, 2017, through April of 2019, Main Justice in Washington DC was split into two divisions.
In one division there was the Special Counsel Robert Mueller team in control of everything related to DOJ and FBI activity around the 2016 election, with emphasis on the Trump-Russia headlines. This division handled 100% of everything that was sucking up the oxygen in Washington DC. Andrew Weissmann was in charge of this division.
In the second division, there was everything else the DOJ was doing, which is to say not much. Attorney General Jeff Sessions was heading this division.
The liaison between both divisions was Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein, who generally didn’t know what was going on inside the Mueller/Weissmann operation; but, as he later testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee [June 2020 link], Rosenstein had the job of signing off and authorizing everything Weissmann et al were doing. Rosenstein authorized every request and not a single ‘ask’ from the Mueller team was ever denied – including expanding the scope of the Mueller investigation, twice.
Why does this matter? It matters because everything happening in Main Justice from May ’17 to April ’19, activity that was grabbing every scintilla of media attention, was being done by the Mueller/Weissmann team. Key word ‘everything.’
There was not a single action from Main Justice that was not controlled by Andrew Weissman and company. This action includes the recent revelations of staff and congressional members from the House Intelligence Committee (HPSCI) having subpoenas for their private emails, phone records, text message and communication.
Andrew Weissmann sent over 2,800 subpoenas for records [See 156-Pages of Examples Here]. Some of those subpoenas were sent to various telecommunications and social media platforms so they could monitor what congress was doing.
In essence, and this is a very important part of the record that is being missed, Weissmann and his team, having been given the primary responsibility of covering up the corrupt DOJ and FBI activity from the 2016 election, needed to know what Devin Nunes and Kash Patel knew. As a result, Andrew Weissmann and team, using the figurehead of Robert Mueller as a pretext and patina, put members of congress under watch.
DAG Rod Rosenstein was likely unaware of what Weissmann and team were doing. In the world of the bureaucratic state, willful blindness has benefits and avoids a person taking a position on whether they are directly part of the corrupt activity. As a man comfortable with the Machiavellian ways of the deep swamp, Rod Rosenstein was the perfect and useful weasel on a leash for this specific role as DOJ liaison.
Again, why does this matter?
This context matters because it is much more of an explosive revelation to realize there were two sets of investigators, each investigating each other. Devin Nunes was investigating a corrupt DOJ and FBI. Weissmann and team trying to cover for corruption within the DOJ and FBI.
Chairman Devin Nunes trying to find out what was going on and put the pieces of an opaque puzzle together. Meanwhile Andrew Weissmann was in the role of blocker to the interest of Nunes, and was a stakeholder is knowing what Nunes was piecing together.
Mueller/Weissmann were on offense against President Trump, and Weissmann/Mueller were simultaneously on defense against the House Intel Committee.
Andrew Weissmann was charged with protecting the prior corrupt activity and shielding it from sunlight. In order to accomplish this goal, he had to know what Devin Nunes and Kash Patel were doing. Thus, amid the 2,800 subpoenas and search warrants, Weissmann was investigating the House investigators.
There was NEVER a question that the Democrats began their January 6th investigation with the intent to charge Trump criminally with an insurrection all to prevent him from running for office again in 2024. They have “recommended” that former President Trump should be prosecuted for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol attacks. This was probably the worst possible thing the Democrats could ever have done to the country. They are solidifying their weaponizing of the rule of law for political gain. They have succeeded in reducing the integrity of the United States to nothing better than a banana republic where they routinely imprison political opponents for political objectives.
Now what? The Republicans get to impeach Biden for the real criminal conduct of taking bribes and using the power of the office to threaten Ukraine to fire a prosecutor investigating the very company his son was hired to put on their board. What about Hunter who is on film with cocaine? If he were Black, he would go to jail for at least 5 years. The Democrats are also now rushing through to reduce the penalty for cocaine. Obviously, they are doing that for Huner. What about all the people in prison for the same thing for decades?
This is all part of the collapse of the United States. Washington is disgusting. It is all about war and they must defeat their opponent regardless if it is good for the country. Perhaps now as we enter 2023, this political corruption is just going to boil to the surface. Even Mitch McConnel, a career politician who hated Trump because he wanted to drain the swamp, joined in to condemn Trump.
People laugh at Donald Trump for questioning the results of the 2020 US Presidential Election, where Joe Biden secured more votes than any other president in American history. How quickly they forget that the entire DNC rejected Trump’s appointment for the duration of his presidency. Remember – “He Ain’t My President!“The Democrats have denied previous elections for every political tier, and some refused to concede. They said Trump incited the January 6 protest by questioning the election results, as if they have never questioned the authenticity of an election.
EVERY election is always rigged! The only question is did it actually affect the outcome? Nobody will dare to actually launch a real investigation into that. When a Grand Jury in 1908 investigated elections in Chicago, they concluded that there was probably NEVER a fair election. It does not matter which side, for they all are in the game.
The real problem is all the claims that there was “no fraud” when that is impossible. There is ALWAYS fraud in EVERY election. They prosecuted people in Florida for filing votes for people who died. That is not the question. The question is did the fraud change the outcome of the election?
These claims that there was no fraud are simply false. They do not wish to admit that there is vote harvesting and the oldest trick is to vote for dead people. That has been the joke in Chicago for decades – more people vote than those who are alive.
The Democrats rushed to get this out before the end of the year because the Republics have retaken the House. The Democrats will use this to attack anyone who Trump endorsed and Republicans in general. This is a lame-duck publicity stunt for it would be fantastic to watch Trump on trial for such a thing. He would get to call all the democrats and Hillary for spying on him and Russia Gate. That would be standard to show that the allegations have been political. It would be the Trial of the Century.
This House panel that’s been investigating the 2021 “insurrection” for the sole purpose of preventing him from running for politics again. He can be a felon and be president. That is not the issue. They must call it an “insurrection” to prevent him from office using that prohibition against any southerner who supported the “insurrection” of civil war from holding office.
The Democrats have totally undermined the integrity of the House. They unanimously agreed to refer Trump for prosecution for multiple offenses including insurrection, which Rep. Jamie Raskin said would disqualify him from holding office, if convicted, which was the whole objective of the investigation. Why was it Unanimous? Because the four Republicans were voted out of the office or decided not to run. All were so anti-Trump that they are a disgrace to the idea of impartiality. They were selected by the Democrats to be on the committee because they were anti-Trump. This was political theater from the outset regardless of if disliked Trump or not. Try standing before a judge you is your next-door neighbor who hates your guts and see if you get a fair trial.
Not one of these people will be returning to their office. These four Republicans illustrate why Trump was played for as a fool. There were Republicans who want the Swamp to remain as is – a better term would be a cesspool of corruption on both sides. These people have stabbed their own country in the back and are solidifying civil unrest and the demise of the country all for political greed.
I have heard some same that if Liz Cheney were on fire, they would not piss on her, they would only reserve that for her grave. What I can say is that I believe she is evil and the apple did not fall too far from the tree. Her father created the Iraq War and handed all the contracts to his company Halliburton, and when they wanted to investigate his firm, they resigned from their American domicile and moved to Dubai. And she was the vocal critic of Trump? Why? To protect the Swamp?
It’s the first-ever such referral of an ex-President in the entire history of the United States. Bill Clinton committed perjury and was never prosecuted. Richard Nixon was also to just resign. However, this is a political stunt for there is no obligation for the Justice Department to prosecute Trump. It would be a real circus if they dared and unleash serious civil unrest.
Epstein was clearly involved in one of the biggest honey traps probably in history. They have been using girls/women to blackmail powerful people for decades. They tried that even with John F. Kennedy and they successfully got control of Edgar Hoover. You can read Whitney Webb’s One Nation Under Blackmail. This has been going on for a very long time. Goldman Sachs was in a lawsuit for allegedly using prostitutes, fancy meals, and hotels to swindle the Libyan government in a $1.2 billion lawsuit.
The legal shenanigans in NYC are also off the wall. Lawyers routinely hire girls to sleep with the opposing counsel to get info. Now, you might think this is limited to the private sector. NOPE! Inside sources confirmed to me that the Southern District of New York pays for “paralegals” whose main role is to sleep with the prosecutors. In turn, prosecutors have girls sleep with the defense counsel on legal spy missions. I was told directly by a lawyer who was on a major terrorist case.
Using seductive young women is a standard operational procedure in many fields. Israel’s fearsome Secret Service best agents are hot women rather than the James Bond type. This is the standard new breed of super-spy.
I will not mention the name of the country, but I was asked to open an office there and stock it with women so a certain royal head of state could visit the office and pretend it was for economic advice. I declined, even though I would have received more than $10 billion to manage the office.
Anna Chapman was a Russian Spy caught in New York City. She was swapped for American spies in 2010 and made headlines in New York. She was stunningly beautiful as well as stunningly successful. Well if you are going to betray secrets, this is far better than the rubber hose treatment.
Anna showed up in Ukraine to train with the soldiers leading the rebellion. She has become known as Vladimir Putin’s weapon of mass distraction.
When I first was released, I began getting emails to my private account that were coming from Canada. At first, I thought it must have been someone I knew. I was playing along trying to remember who she was. Being a programmer, I decided the trace the origin of the emails for I had a gut feeling that something was not right. They were coming from Russia via Canada. I was getting photos swearing she loved me and I was clueless as to who she was.
At first, I thought it was a scam. I asked if she needed money. She said no. Then I thought she was just trying to get into the USA. I asked if she needed a letter of invitation to get a visa. She said no – she had one. My assistant Danielle at the time said this girl is really coming. I then said if she had any trouble, to call the head of the Minister of Interior who I knew at the time. That was the last I heard from her.
Remember Elliot Spitzer, Governor of NY. He removed Hank Greenberg from AIG who rejected creating insurance on the mortgage pools at the request of Goldman Sachs. Removing Greenberg made the whole Mortgage-Backed CDO Lending possible and the collapse of the 2007-2009 crisis. Spitzer was fed info I believe to remove Greenberg by Goldman Sachs. It was Goldman who then sold the idea to AIG when Greenberg was removed.
Spitzer was just a pawn. He thought he was really cleaning up Wall Street. Then when Spitzer turned on Wall Street, guess what? The Patriot Act ordering banks to report anything suspicious turned up checks Spitzer wrote to a hooker. So the Terrorist laws were then used to get rid of Spitzer to save Wall Street Investment Bankers.
Oh, remember the former head of the IMF who also stood in the way of the whole crisis? Dominique Strauss-Kahn became a target when he was the IMF chief and began to comment critically on the role of the world financial system. I was personally invited to Washington where Edmond Safra of Republic National Bank paid for the IMF dinner that rented the entire National Gallery. I was invited to demonstrate to me how the NY Investment bankers had the IMF in their pocket. Strauss-Kahn was conveniently sent a maid to create a sex scandal to shut him up when he saw the corruption in the IMF. They removed him under false accusations and cleared the way for the IMF to become a tool. That is how the whole Long-Term Capital Management crisis developed because they bribed the IMF to keep the loans going to Russia so they could buy their bonds by paying outrageous amounts of money.
Sex has always been a tool for getting into someone’s corner or organization. After reading Whitney Webb’s books, I was flying back from London with my assistant after finishing a conference there. I stood by the curb in New York waiting for the limo to pick us up. There was a provocative black girl standing there who began to chat me up for I had just landed flying the Concord, which I do miss. I was being polite but I assumed she may have been looking to pick someone up from the plane as you often find traveling around.
When my assistant returned from the bathroom and the limo arrived, we got in and she said to me – “Boy, I can leave you alone for 5 minutes you are talking to a supermodel” I was befuddled. I said I thought she was one of the typical girls looking to pick up a traveler. She said that’s NaomiCampbell. That still did not mean anything to me. She was on the flight. I hadn’t noticed. I said sorry, I do not read fashion magazines. After reading Whitney Webb mentioning her, I began to wonder if there was more to that casual conversation that I was oblivious to.

During a broadcast this evening, journalist Michael Shellenberger gives a good encapsulation of his review of the Twitter Files {Direct Rumble Link}.
As noted by Shellenberger the FBI running internal domestic political operations against the American public should be the subject of a serious investigation. The problem becomes, when the national law enforcement agency is running corrupt political operations, who is left to investigate the FBI? WATCH:

The timing of stuff and the context of the historic reference points matter when looking at any story involving the DOJ. Failing to understand the background context leads to mistaken impressions, false assumptions, corrupt hidden actors getting away with prior misconduct and generally flawed analysis. That is the accurate takeaway from a story that seems to have gained attention amid the professionally republican class of punditry.
Here at CTH we have dropped the pretending, focus on the evidence and call the baby ugly when warranted.
Today’s outrage du jour surrounds Kash Patel sharing documents with John Solomon about a subpoena dated November 20, 2017, targeting investigative staff from the House Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI). [Article Here] Dates matter. Redactions matter.
Who redacted this document?… Kash Patel? John Solomon? or the DOJ? It matters.
In November of 2017, everything related to the Trump-Russia operation was being handled at the Dept of Justice by lead DOJ Special Counsel official Andrew Weissmann under the auspices of what is commonly called the Mueller probe or ‘Mueller investigation‘. On November 20, 2017, the main focus of Weissmann was the guilty plea of Michael Flynn which was at its apex and was later signed November 30, 2017.
The public battle on Capitol Hill November 2017, was between HPSCI and Main Justice. Nunes -vs- Schiff -vs- FBI -vs- Main Justice -vs- White House -vs- Special Counsel. Each entity competing for the public and political narrative.
In his later (June 2020) Senate testimony, Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein testified that Weissmann/Mueller were in charge of everything at Main Justice and he was used as a go-between liaison between congress, the White House and the DOJ. Rosenstein gave Weissmann/Mueller full autonomy, full authority, and never once questioned a request from them. Put simply, Rosenstein said Mueller and Weissmann called every shot in the DOJ that had anything even remotely associated with Trump-Russia, which was essentially everything at Main Justice for two years.
As a result of that context, any subpoena against Kash Patel or any other member of the HPSCI would have come from the Weissmann/Mueller probe, NOT Rod Rosenstein.
Rosenstein gave Weissmann/Mueller expanded scope authority twice in 2017 from the original scope memo in May. The final expanded scope memo authorized the targeting of Michael Flynn Jr happened in October of 2017, and that authority was used to coerce the guilty plea from his father, Michael Flynn Sr, a few weeks later.
Mueller and Weissmann issued hundreds of subpoenas to telecommunications companies [156 pages of search warrants documented here]. As a result, it’s not accurate to say the DOJ was subpoenaing Kash Patel phone records because that lets the guilty party off the hook. It also downplays the corrupt intent of the Mueller probe.
Any subpoena targeting Kash Patel in/around November of 2017 would be coming from the Andrew Weissmann team.
There was a widely reported clash in 2018 between the HPSCI (Nunes and Patel) and Rod Rosenstein who was in the position of liaison because conniving and duplicitous Andrew Weissmann used DAG Rosenstein as a tool and willing shield. [Article Here] Essentially, that June 2018 article involved Rosenstein allegedly threatening to subpoena the records of Nunes and Patel if they kept pushing aggressively on the Mueller probe. However, the November 2017 subpoena is not that.
Kash Patel is making an ipso facto argument with the recently received evidence of the November 2017 subpoena in hand using flawed hindsight.
Who keeps escaping scrutiny as all these flawed assumptions are being made? The Mueller Team.
Andrew Weissmann et al were running Main Justice for two years (May 2017 through Feb 2019). Nothing that happened in the context of the FBI, CIA, DOJ-NSD or Main Justice that had anything to do with Trump-Russia did not come directly as a result of the Mueller/Weissmann probe.
Weissmann had full control, including any subpoena that would have been targeting Kash Patel.
Back to the original question, who did the redacting?

The J6 Committee has announced they have found President Trump guilty of four counts of campaigning against their Democrat candidates and attempting to disrupt the DC system of governing and financial graft. The committee formally announced their intent today for political referrals to the Biden-Obama justice department.
In addition to holding other scandalous political conversations, President Trump is accused of: (1) “aiding and comforting” disgruntled voters; (2) obstructing Congress’ Jan. 6 joint session by holding a political rally in DC; (3) conspiring with some unknown entity to make false claims to the bureaucrats in the National Archives about his private papers; and ultimately, (4) conspiring to defraud the United States and deprive Washington DC of its business model.
The J6 Committee has released a 160-page “executive summary” of a report they will release soon [READ HERE], and will now refer President Trump to Lisa Monaco, Deputy Attorney General and former White House counsel for President Obama, to be prosecuted in Washington DC for heinous crimes and insurrection.
The goal is to fulfill President Obama’s former campaign manager David Plouffe’s promise to destroy President Trump and block him from holding office again.
Washington DC – […] The panel has long contended Trump broke the law. But its new report — which the committee voted to release but has yet to become public — is expected to add vivid new details of that effort, particularly about the cast of enablers who facilitated Trump’s gambit, from Republican members of Congress to a team of lawyers pushing fringe legal theories to shadowy operatives awash in conspiracies. The panel also released the 160-page executive summary of its report, capturing the contours of its case against Turmp.
“Faith in our system is the foundation of American democracy. If the faith is broken, so is our democracy,” said select panel chair Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.). “Donald Trump broke that faith. He lost the 2020 election and knew it, but he chose to try to stay in office through a multi-part scheme.”
“This can never happen again,” Thompson added.
The recommended referral for insurrection mentions U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta’s ruling in February, which said Trump’s language plausibly incited violence on Jan. 6 and cited the Senate’s 57 votes in last year’s impeachment trial to convict Trump on “incitement of insurrection.”
Charging decisions rest entirely with DOJ prosecutors, not Congress, but panel members have increasingly stressed the impact their transmission to the department could have on public opinion — viewing it as part of building a historical record around the attack. Special Counsel Jack Smith is currently conducting a wide-ranging investigation of Trump’s scheme to cling to power, and the select panel has also moved in parallel with DOJ’s effort to prosecute hundreds of Trump supporters who attacked the Capitol. (read more)
Everything seems to be following a flow and pattern associated with intense Democrat effort to retain their ‘fundamental change‘ objective.
If the sequencing is maintained, Hunter Biden will likely be charged with some low-level tax crime, right before President Trump is charged with attempting to destroy the universe. At this point the clown show is ridiculous and absurd. Believe me, the entire electorate can see it…. Not just MAGA supporters.
The more they do this, the more I appreciate the Rosetta Stone that President Donald J Trump represents.

Twitter file release #7 comes from Michael Shellenberger and focuses on how the FBI specifically engaged with Twitter before, during and after the Hunter Biden Laptop story surfaced. [RELEASE HERE]
There are some interesting facets to the Shellenberger outline including his naming of the communications method, “Teleporter, a one-way communications channel from the FBI to Twitter, ” and Shellenberger’s identification of payments from the FBI to Twitter in order to cover the expenses related to the censorship they requested.
As Shellenberger notes on paragraph 46, “The FBI’s influence campaign may have been helped by the fact that it was paying Twitter millions of dollars for its staff time. “I am happy to report we have collected $3,415,323 since October 2019!” reports an associate of Jim Baker in early 2021.”
Overall, the Twitter file 7 release shows the FBI being well aware of the Hunter Biden laptop issue long before the fall of 2020 and taking specific action to mitigate any potential damage to the Biden campaign. The FBI was aware of the laptop in December of 2019, and the engagements with the social media platform were transparently proactive measures with political intentions.
The story weaves in and out of Washington DC and transfers the action items from DC to the San Francisco field office of the FBI where Elvis Chan was in charge of coordinating control over the content of the Twitter platform.
Factually, a solid argument could be made that this specific release shows how the FBI Russiagate effort against Trump needed to exit Washington DC following the 2016 election, and so the majority of FBI’s anti-Trump activity for 2020 shifted to San Francisco.
Washington DC DOJ, FBI and Intelligence Community efforts focused on protecting itself from discovery of their activity in 2015 and 2016, while San Francisco became the headquarters for FBI anti-Trump efforts targeting 2020. This location shift aligns with the datapoint of Russiagate FBI Agent Joseph Pientka transferring from DC to San Francisco; with Elvis Chan taking the place of Pientka as the targeting focused on social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook, Google, YouTube, Instagram, etc).
Former FBI Legal Counsel James Baker was fired after the Russiagate activity started to surface. Baker then becomes the General Counsel at Twitter, able to coordinate and receive ongoing FBI efforts. Baker would be positioned to influence Twitter executives to accept the FBI instructions as well as deflect any internal questions that might arrise about the platform being used as an extension of the FBI.
As noted by James Baker’s email in the file release, Baker also dissuaded the financial concerns by coordinating payments from the FBI to cover the internal costs to Twitter. The FBI was paying Twitter for influence and control operations and James Baker handled that transfer of funds.
On the financial side of the equation, I would be on the lookout for additional information about subsidies on the tech side of the platform operation. Specifically, data processing offsets for Twitter as a result of this DHS/FBI/ODNI relationship. My suspicion for multiple years has been that Twitter tech shifted from an open portal type connection (front of building) to Twitter actually operating on the backbone of DHS servers (back of building).
From the FBI San Francisco Field Office (SFFO) Special Agent Elvis Chan was coordinating the activity. Specifically, Elvis Chan was coordinating the overall FBI division influence operation of the DHS effort.
One rather stunning aspect to Chan’s role and responsibility, a point that highlights the importance placed on the FBI influence effort, showing the scale of Chan’s reach, was his ability to independently authorize security clearances for the Twitter executives based entirely on Yoel Roth just sending him a list of names.
This security clearance angle may explain why Twitter is currently concerned about releasing specific information related to the FBI “Teleporter” channel being outlined.
In summary, the Twitter File #7 release shows an active 2020 political operation conducted by the FBI in advance of the election mirroring the FBI operation in 2016 around the fraudulent Trump-Russia construct. The FBI is conducting domestic political intelligence operations on behalf of the United States government.
The FBI is essentially the soviet-era FSB.
Social media is under DHS surveillance, facilitated by platform partnerships and the FBI mission is based on the results. Domestic thought crimes and wrong-speak are a high priority.

Matt Taibbi files a supplemental thread to his review of DHS/FBI instructions, through the still undisclosed portal. [Twitter File Supplemental Here]
Just a reminder… how the ‘asks’ actually took place is still a mystery, Taibbi & Weiss et al are only privy to the internal actions and discussions after the inbound requests arrive. Put another way, we are blind to the method of the DHS/FBI portal into the network. I do not believe that secrecy is accidental.
The essence of Taibbi’s supplemental report is based on a few internal emails amid the group following DHS/FBI and ODNI officials telling the Twitter rulers they were not cracking down hard enough on the platform content.
As Taibbi notes, “The questionnaire authors seem displeased with Twitter for implying, in a July 20th “DHS/ODNI/FBI/Industry briefing,” that “you indicated you had not observed much recent activity from official propaganda actors on your platform.”
Twitter official Yoel Roth then responded to the U.S intelligence community in a series of back-and-forth conversations, and internally to the Twitter censorship group.
As noted by Taibbi, “[Roth] was not “comfortable with the Bureau (and by extension the IC) demanding written answers.” Taibbi then seems to pull out the pretending not to know things card and ponders, “the idea of the FBI acting as conduit for the Intelligence Community is interesting, given that many agencies are barred from domestic operations.”
Gee, ya think? Go figure.
Within the short thread the Intelligence Community is responding to Twitter with citations from mainstream media publications like the Wall Street Journal. However, the citations from the journal are sourced from the same Intelligence Community citing them as evidence.
It’s the proverbial and circular use of the wrap up smear.
Intel community seeds media with false or manipulated narrative. Media prints false or manipulated narrative. Intel Community then uses media printed story as citation to tell Twitter to act on it.

On one hand I’m thankful incoming House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan is willing to explain who he intends to call before congress to answer questions. On the other hand, my appreciation is tempered knowing open discussion of the intended investigative approach assists Lawfare operatives in their preparation.
The republican led House Judiciary Committee will be opposed by the White House, the Senate including the Senate Judiciary and Senate Intel, DHS, FBI, ODNI, DOJ-NSD, Main Justice, the Lawfare group, corporate media, Big Tech social media oligarchs and the entirety of the national security state apparatus. Navigating through this minefield of opposition will take a brutally confrontational approach.

During my trip to DC in the summer of 2020 there were a myriad of disconcerting datapoints assembled; revelations that made sense of the madness and disappointments found everywhere. However, one of the key notations for future reference was to watch the political evolution of DHS and spot the jump where the ideological outlook turns into specific government action.
With the DHS/FBI portal within Twitter, and likely within all social media, now being openly discussed and mainstreamed, it’s worth revisiting an August 2021 tripwire crossed by DHS and then contemplating how that was influenced by a much larger ideological agenda.
The United States Department of Homeland Security made a quiet and alarming announcement on August 13, 2021, creating the official position of the United States Government under the Joe Biden regime. [SEE DHS STATEMENT HERE] According to the statement if you questioned the orthodoxy of government mandates, or COVID-19 responses from the U.S. government, you were -effective immediately- considered a “terrorist”, specifically a “Domestic Violent Extremist” (DVE).
Most people missed this remarkable development, yet it seemed to underpin a tenuous, unstable and fragile disposition of the current administration. Within this continuation of the Obama-era initiatives the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) seemed rather paranoid in their need to label anyone who would question the COVID-19 response.
Considering the polling at the time, more than half the country would be defined as dissidents and domestic terrorists within our homeland. Think about that.
DHS – The Secretary of Homeland Security has issued a new National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin regarding the current heightened threat environment across the United States. […] These threats include those posed by domestic terrorists, individuals and groups engaged in grievance-based violence. […] Such threats are also exacerbated by impacts of the ongoing global pandemic, including grievances over public health safety measures and perceived government restrictions. (read more)
Notice the wording of that introductory paragraph. The government-imposed mandates, mask and vaccination requirements were only “perceived government restrictions.”
The chains that bound your expressions of liberty and freedom were essentially being defined as mere figments of your imagination. The rules and denials of activity that we are forced to live by, under the auspices of “public health and safety measures“, were described as perceived demands.
Most people missed this inflection point, but it was a substantive change in messaging from the United States Government.
The needle then being forced into the arm of federal workers by the Federal Government was not the problem.
It was the public perception of a forced medical treatment, and the need to control that perception that became the priority of the Dept of Homeland Security.
It was our perception of what they are doing that became the problem as outlined in this DHS bulletin. Here is where you must overlay the Twitter File revelations about the action the government took as an outcome of that shift. What followed in the censorship/control of social media by the same government agency, DHS, was an outcome of this ideological moment.
In essence We The People must correct our wrong-thoughts to eliminate carrying ‘the wrong perception’. Dear leader appreciates your compliance. At the time CTH noted to all readers the DHS statement was full blown Stazi-level propaganda. The bulletin continues:
[…] Through the remainder of 2021, racially- or ethnically-motivated violent extremists (RMVEs) and anti-government/anti-authority violent extremists will remain a national threat priority for the United States. These extremists may seek to exploit the emergence of COVID-19 variants by viewing the potential re-establishment of public health restrictions across the United States as a rationale to conduct attacks. Pandemic-related stressors have contributed to increased societal strains and tensions, driving several plots by domestic violent extremists, and they may contribute to more violence this year.
[…] There are also continued, non-specific calls for violence on multiple online platforms associated with DVE ideologies or conspiracy theories on perceived election fraud and alleged reinstatement, and responses to anticipated restrictions relating to the increasing COVID cases. (link)
This became the official position of the United States Government toward citizens in our nation. It is from this perspective that outreach and instructions to Twitter and various social media platforms originated.
Hopefully, in hindsight, you can see the importance of that narrative shift and how it ended with real consequences amid the speech platforms.
However, I want to move deeper, beyond that moment in 2021, deeper into the context that had taken hold of the various apparatus of government institutions. Back to that moment when the shift in approach became evident, albeit ignored for its consequence.
Immediately after Barack H Obama was successfully installed in office, something began to shift. While the U.S. media had always been biased, manipulative and dishonest, there was something bigger and deeper that changed after The Lightbringer achieved power and began his process of fundamental change.
The shift in the national security deployment, coincided with the merge between the intelligence apparatus and the new platforms of social media. The speed of the shift was directly connected to the speed of technology that was driving communication.
Together the intelligence apparatus, the customary U.S. media and Big Tech began testing how far and how fast they could control the outlook of Americans. Few people were paying attention to it…. there were some… but not many, and most of those who did notice were not connecting the dots to the actual tests.
The shift in attack direction from media (social and traditional) was alarming.
Normally the bias we encountered was framed to excuse or justify the transparently guilty of accountability. Bad people doing bad things were downplayed, excused and defended. However, in 2011 & 2012, the new era of controlling public opinion took shape and the system partners began falsely accusing the transparently innocent.
Read that again, because it was a profound difference, and inflection point.
Public opinion propaganda shifted from excusing the transparently guilty, to framing the transparently innocent.
Together with ideological institutions in government (Obama’s crew ie. DOJ etc.), the customary U.S. media and Big Tech system control operators began testing how far and fast they could control the outlook of Americans… to accuse the transparently innocent
Some transparently innocent examples included, George Zimmerman (Trayvon Martin), Police Officer Darren Wilson (Mike Brown), the Baltimore Six accused (Freddy Gray), Nick Sandmann, Kile Rittenhouse, and then ultimately the biggest example, Donald J Trump. Take a transparently innocent person and manipulate a public narrative to make them guilty.
In combination with this new use of the public-private partnership to target the transparently innocent, the social media platforms were instructed to remove content that ran counter to the false presentations.
Now, fast forward throughout a decade of the ideological shift (2011 to 2021) and what did the 2021 DHS terrorism bulletin do?
It expanded the targeting of the transparently innocent.
Instead of specific targets based on personage, the system of collaboration and control by DHS now extended to a whole of government effort to define people as ‘domestic terrorists.’ This is one long continuum of targeting the transparently innocent.
The target holds the same ideas, outlooks, worldviews, and expectations of Liberty and Freedom they held yesterday, last week, last month and perhaps even long before 9-11-01. However, now you are the problem. You are guilty. You are an extremist.
You didn’t change at all. Something else changed. But notice how the spotlight on what changed is YOU, and not the origin of the change?
You are the problem. It’s not the fault of those fundamentally changing the structures of freedom or liberty, you shifted to become the guilty party.
Can you see how they did that?
Can you see how the cancer cells of beta-test accusations against the transparently innocent metastasized and weaponized into a system that now uses the institutions of government against all of us, against the average American who might not accept the specific demands of government, ie. mask wearing, vaccinations, etc.
This government effort, a continuation of a narrative engineering strategy that originated in the aftermath of Obama’s election, specifically included the weaponization of social media and the compliance of the system operators who controlled Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Google, Microsoft, YouTube, etc.
How can we help people to see this, to understand what took place?
