Laying the groundwork for uncomfortable discussions is never easy. However, sometimes the best approach is to cite examples and then expand. Here’s two factual examples.
♦ EXAMPLE FACT #1 – In December 2017, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes asked the White House, specifically President Trump, to declassify the “Nunes Memo.” President Trump did not declassify the memo because President Trump was told by the concentric lawyers within the office that he should not. So, he didn’t.
[We eventually did see the memo, albeit with negotiated redactions, because Nunes (and Kash Patel) played by the Silo rules and entered a period of negotiations with the Intelligence Community. Nunes leveraged reauthorization of FISA-702 authority, predicated on declassifying his memo. We The People subsequently saw the memo, but we were screwed by the FISA reauthorization.]
♦ EXAMPLE FACT #2 – In January 2020, as he exited the White House, President Trump, using his office, played by the Silo rules and asked for the Russiagate documents to be made public. They never were.
This is such a great example of “Truth Management.”
Y’all are probably familiar with this declassification letter written by Mark Meadows. But what you didn’t see before is how it was designed to fail.
This approach is following the DC rules of the Intelligence Community (IC) Silos.
Mark Meadows, a Truth Manager, intentionally – with purpose and intent – followed this approach because he knew it would fail.
Meadows didn’t make a mistake; he was not mistaken in his approach; he didn’t make an error. This is purposeful.
In January 2020, breathing a sigh of relief, the people around President Donald Trump, were managing his exit and defending the system as they exited power.
They requested the IC Silos to release information, knowing full well the information would never be released.
The only way this information would be guaranteed to be released to the public, is if President Trump took those file boxes personally into the Brady Room, and using his full plenary power and authority, gave them to the media and said, “I hereby designate under my official act power, that this information is of priority to the American people.”…. and literally handed it to the media.
Giving the information to the Silo operators and saying please release this; a process that follows the rules of the IC system that is designed to protect itself; only ensures it will never reach sunlight.
Meadows and everyone else around this moment, knew this to be true. They knew this would fail.
Understanding these two examples is the first step in understanding how the DC Silo system works.
♦ In research projects about detailed granular events attached to corruption in Washington DC, eventually you reach a point where you have identified the specific people involved.
That’s when things get sketchy.
When doing these research projects, you discover that certain DC “insiders,” media people and current/former silo staff, names most of you know very well, are also aware of the information you are discovering.
The “insiders” are generally positioned in such a manner as most of the information-aware public consider them “Truth Tellers.”
Alternative media now gives the Truth Tellers a larger influence voice. This is where it gets interesting.
When you have nailed down the story with direct, irrefutable evidence against the bad actors, you start to notice a pattern emerge about how the Truth Teller media types consistently stay away from certain names.
If you do this long enough, and find the same outcome frequently enough, you realize most of these “Truth Tellers” are not that at all; they are, instead, Truth Managers.
The DC Truth Managers are willfully blind to the activity of certain people they have identified as what can only be reasonably assumed to be CIA operators.
Having spent thousands of hours on this subject, no other reasonable explanation make sense. There are bad actors in DC that I can only believe are “CIA operators.” Why? Because earnestly after years of doing this, I cannot think of any other reason why they would be protected.
Why is CIA operative Nellie Ohr openly discussed, yet the stronger and more important name, Mary McCord, purposefully avoided. I have reached the conclusion that Mary McCord is factually a CIA operator. Nothing else makes sense.
♦ Be careful about assigning the label “Truth Teller” toward any alternative media DC insider who is a “reformed journalist” or “former staff member” of the machine.
There are well known voices from inside the system, that exit the corporate media world, and enter the alternative media world, only to carry on the same purpose.
I see the information managers frequently now and identify them easily by who they *do not* talk about.
Truth Tellers have no vested financial interest in the information, or control thereof; Truth Managers always do.
When a current or former information manager comes across a story of corruption that involves a “CIA designated bad actor,” they never discuss that person in their information reveal. They continue the protection.
A good rule of thumb is never to think of anyone from inside the DC information system, regardless of their disposition, as a Truth Teller.
Every Information Manager was matriculated, and are compromised, by the system around them that is entirely based on corrupt activity.
Hang around a one-legged tribe long enough, and inherently you begin limping.
• Truth Teller Examples: Patel Durov, Glenn Greenwald, Edward Snowden and Matt Taibbi. Pavel Durov (arrested in France) now lives in Dubai. Glenn Greenwald now lives in Brazil. Edward Snowden now lives in Russia.
• Truth Manager Examples: John Solomon, Sean Hannity, Sara Carter, Catherine Herridge, Steve Bannon, Kash Patel, Glenn Beck, Jack Posobiec, Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin and the entire Fox News lineup. There are many more, but the financial aspect runs consistent.
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange had to agree to stop being a Truth Teller and become a Truth Manager in order to be released from prison. As he readily admits, part of the agreement was to give the Western Intelligence Community first right of review for any information WikiLeaks would release. This shifts Julian Assange from Truth telling to Truth managing. In this unique case, I don’t fault him a bit.
♦ In our larger discussion of information, how does Information Management surface:
Let me give you a great example using this video shared yesterday.
Listen carefully to what Kash Patel says at the 01:23 moment about the “Russiagate report” that was written, and how the “ICA” (Intelligence Community Assessment) was constructed with fraudulent information from the CIA.
As Patel notes, “Gina buried it.” That’s Gina Haspel, the Trump CIA Director who replaced Mike Pompeo.
Now, you might think that Patel is a Truth Teller in this segment but stand back and think about it with fresh eyes, non-pretending eyes.
Patel knows, because he (with others) created a report that highlights a fraudulent CIA operation. A report that was absorbed by the CIA and buried.
Put another way, Patel is talking about a body that he knows is buried. Ergo, people might say, “Patel knows where the body is buried,” right?
But ask yourself, with the known stakes to the nation as an outcome of horrific fraud, why didn’t this self-identified “#2 in the Intelligence Community” bring this information forward regardless of outcome?
Is Patel a “Truth Teller,” or is he a “Truth Manager,” obeying the Silo rules out of self-interest?
New Eyes – Use them.
What is the difference between Edward Snowden and Kash Patel?
One is a Truth Teller the other is a “buy my books” Truth Manager.
Of course, Kash Patel defenders will justify by saying he was just waiting to release the information he alluded to, until he was in a better position. So, his plan to reveal the truth was to: (1) hope Trump won the election, (2) hope he would be appointed to an administration position, and then (3) hope to be able to reach into the CIA silo and somehow retrieve his work product. Please. Just stop.
As a “confirmed”, not “acting” FBI Director, Kash Patel *could* declassify information or documents that is the exclusive equity of the FBI Silo, but only the FBI Silo.
If there was a joint silo operation, he cannot.
If the information was from a source outside the FBI silo, he cannot.
If the information is not 100% exclusive to the FBI silo, he cannot.
Modify your outlook accordingly.
♦ The “continuing central power” that Patel talks about already exists.
This is part of the problem with people who come from inside the system; and it is a problem for those who cannot spend thousands of hours understanding it.
The IC Silo rules, are followed by people who matriculate surrounded by the IC Silo rules.
The “central power” needed to fracture the system is the physical person of the President of the United States.
The President is, well, Snowden-proof. The President, not the office, the actual physical person, is the power of the system. The epicenter of the system where the atom splits, is the physical President.
Acting in his “official duty,” the President of the United States can take a document (any document) and walk into the Brady Room, hand it to a journalist and that document is automatically declassified.
He doesn’t need a stamp on it. He doesn’t need anyone else’s approval or permission. He, the physical person, the President, can simply say, “I view this in my official capacity as President of the United States to be a vital interest to the American public,” and hand it to anyone he chooses. That’s the central power.
Knowing this, knowing the factual reality of it, is exactly why the concentric circles around the President, intentionally and forcefully stop him from doing it. The silo system self-protects.
If it can be done this way, then why wasn’t it done this way?
Kash Patel, Devin Nunes, Ric Grenell, John Ratcliffe etcetera. all know this to be true. So why wasn’t it done?
Go ask Edward Snowden.
♦ Impeachment is the political backstop that protects the IC Silo business model.
Impeachment origins are amorphous by definition.
Declassify something the IC Silo operators don’t like, and it’s a national security breach worthy of impeachment.
These are the warnings to President Trump built into the Silo rules. This is why the White House Counsel is so important. This is why the Nunes Memo was never declassified. This is why President Trump relied on Mark Meadows, which ultimately culminated in an FBI retrieval operation in Mar-a-Lago.
See the political backstop?
Wait, are you saying there’s no point in declassifying then?
No. Exactly the opposite.
Strike now. The House is still in GOP hands.
Force the Legislative Branch to impeach President Trump in the first year as the only way to stop him.
Draw out the enemy. However, don’t YOU be so naïve that you do not take the time to understand exactly, in granular detail, what will be needed to do the actual declassifying.
If the Legislative Branch prioritizes retention of the system and takes down Trump via impeachment, JD Vance has to be willing to continue it… And so on, and so on…
