COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, I have written to RFK, Vance, Trump, and several Congress asking them to please pay attention to Socrates. Not a single one has ever gotten back to me. I have no faith that Trump will do what he says and all this tale of Greenland and Canada instead of the real issue of the swamp. Do you have any faith that his administration will do as he said?
P
ANSWER: No. You will NEVER get through to any of them because they are all doing the same as everyone else in the swamp – the staff runs interference. There are some people who have been trying to contact Trump. They have asked me if I would agree to meet if they can get a meeting. I politely responded sure, but I doubt any of them would agree to meet because their staff will not allow such a request to get through. Welcome to the SWAMP, which is really an ocean.
I have no real faith that we will see meaningful change for staff to prevent it. There are those who have ideas, and they see this as their turf now, so how dare you walk on their grass? Look, when people get to Washington, they see it as their achievement. They are not there to listen to us, the scum of the earth.
I cannot convince them about how to actually save the country. They are part of this crash and burn. My role is not to prevent it but to perhaps guide the recovery. But they will NEVER listen to me to prevent anything. They cannot see beyond the tip of their nose.
We are on our own –
DO NOT FORGET THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish Trump all the best. But his staff have him in a bubble already.

META CEO Mark Zuckerberg appeared on the Joe Rogan podcast to discuss his recent announcement about removing all “fact checkers” from the operation of Facebook and Instagram and replacing the fact-checking system with ‘community notes.’
Within the interview, Zuckerberg outlines examples of the Biden administration contacting the platforms to demand the removal of information the White House deemed against the interests of government. Zuckerberg talks about the collapse in credibility within the platforms that happened as he lost control of the process and widespread viewpoint censorship became the norm. WATCH:

Washington DC is creating a surveillance state. We can debate the motives and intentions behind it, but the core of their creation aligns and supports a fully comprehensive American surveillance state.
We cannot be intellectually honest with each other about how the tools of a weaponized government were deployed against Americans, specifically in the example of presidential candidate Donald Trump, without accepting the tools exist for far more consequential reasons than just Donald Trump.
In this segment from April of 2024, Tucker Carlson (motive irrelevant) accurately outlined the purpose of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and how that legislatively created tool is being used by Washington DC, both parties.
Within this monologue Tucker Carlson hits on some accurate points to share with his audience. The commentary about HPSCI Chairman Mike Turner is spot on accurate. The IC pressure meetings are also true {SEE HERE}. The analysis of Speaker Mike Johnson also appears to be widely accurate. WATCH:
My personal experience with the IC surveillance state mirrors that described by Tucker Carlson. As you step into the world of real data, unfiltered by the systems intended to control our perspectives, the system tends to see you as a threat.
Ongoing research into the dollar-based Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) has made the surveillance system much more visible. All of these systems (Real ID, Digital Identity, Facial Recognition, metadata collection, AI search and result capability, etc.) are eventually going to merge and connect, unless we do something to stop the people who are creating this system.
Previously in 2013, Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz and former Department of Defense Chief of Staff, Kash Patel, appeared on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo to discuss President Donald Trump’s criminal case, the J6 targeting and the use of FISA-702 to conduct political surveillance.
I am prompting the earlier video to 02:20 to focus one aspect of the interview on the 2013 Republican led FISA-702 reauthorization and extension. I agree with almost everything Mr Patel says about the ramifications of the GOPe House, led by HPSCI Chairman Mike Turner, and the FISA extension. However, there is also an aspect that 99% of everyone misses, and within that dynamic we become victims to our own willful blindness. First, watch the segment on FISA-702 (prompted):
The CIA director, NSA director, ODNI, FBI Director, etc are not in charge of the compartments they represent. They are simply functionaries -middle men- who operate in the space between where the compass points are directed, where the data originates, and oversight of that data that is ultimately filtered and delivered to the functionaries, who then brief the representatives…. who then create policy… albeit flawed policy…. based on a very specific, controlled, compartmented and skewed information flow. (more)
The value of Kash Patel’s institutional currency is connected to this access, even with Republicans in charge. The same is true for any other member of the Intelligence Community, including John Ratcliffe, current CIA silo nominee.
As a result, the corrupt DC functionaries operate without any accountability, no corrective action ever takes place, no accountability is metered out, and WORSE…. an oblivious public cheer on people like Kash Patel and many others who give the illusion they are railing against corruption.
For those who choose denial and pretending over the brutal reality, their criticism of me is irrelevant. The truth exists regardless of our comfort level.
Accepting we are abused victims to professional gaslighting, manipulation and Machiavellian deceit, carried out by those who claim to be our allies, is painful and unnerving. However, failing to accept the reality only retains our status as victims; we become codependent enablers and battered conservatives. The surveillance system continues to be assembled and refined. It is a remarkable dynamic.
Many people can now see how DC functionaries played this intelligence game against President Donald Trump, using the false justification of “national security.” However, those same voices cannot see how we are continually being played by the same defenders of a corrupt system within DC.
Changing the system first begins by awakened people thinking about the long-term ramifications from what is being assembled. What is the value of national security, when the liberty that secures the values of America is destroyed in the process?
Either the Fourth Amendment means something, or it does not!

There is suddenly an outpouring of anger from the legacy media aimed at the Democrats who hid Biden’s mental health decline. Every channel now discusses what those with eyes, ears, and, most importantly, INDEPENDENT thoughts already knew. The same journalists who spent the past eight years demonizing Donald Trump are now outraged at their own party for hiding Joe Biden’s health condition and turning the country red—those who can think independently KNEW that Joe Biden’s health was failing many years ago.
“Tomorrow the President is going to make a fateful decision regarding Afghanistan - as I sat looking out the window at the sea - thinking I should resign in protest over will bring his administration down. Although I obviously there I feel like this is what it must have felt like for Kennedy then Johnson in the early days of VTN [Vietnam]. I feel guilty and boxed in myself. Guilty not having been more successful w/ the President - and staying. Boxed in by knowing or at least feeling that my resignation would only harden his position and leave him with one less voice.”
The man that Joe Biden was during that time no longer exists. He is not competent to form his own opinions and has become a complete puppet of the establishment that is taking advantage of a man in severe mental decline. Not only did the Democrats KNOW that Biden’s health was declining, but they deliberately used it to their advantage.
We knew that Joe Biden could not hold down a full-time job back when Jen Psaki was still press secretary. Psaki admitted that Biden could not begin his day before 10 AM, which was apparent on his public schedules. He was absent for over 40% of his term as the Democrats only wanted Joe in the spotlight when absolutely necessary.
“It’s not a good sign when everybody’s taking it live and the questions are predominantly about the president’s health and well-being,” Psaki said in July 2024, although she stepped down from the position in 2022. “That’s not a good sign on how things are going.” We knew long before then that Joe Biden was only permitted to call upon reporters who would ask pre-approved questions. He admitted it out loud to the public and showed us his cue cards. “I know that’s a weird way of saying it, but President Biden’s magic is not necessarily press conferences, I think it’s safe to say,” Psaki said. “It’s not even really necessarily interviews.” Leading the world’s top economy requires interviews and transparency. Still, the left looked the other way.
Current White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre repeatedly ignored questions regarding Biden’s mental health. She insisted that Joe Biden was “sharp” despite his countless “gaffes” on the public stage. Reporters were condemned from even questioning Biden’s mental health. AMERICANS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO QUESTION IF THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF HAD DEMENTIA. Even the former White House physician was unable to question Biden’s decline without receiving a strongly worded letter from Barack Obama.
Do not believe for a second that Joe Biden was innocent in all of this. “The Big Guy” had reasons to stay in power without stepping down. His entire family sold out the nation to foreign interests years before he took office and it is fair to say he was either blackmailed or too unaware to function. Biden became the first president to outright refuse a cognitive test, and we, the people, allowed it to happen.
America became the laughingstock of the world. Global news outlets would show Biden’s “gaffes” and laugh. Cabinet members would meet with leaders on his behalf as he was unable to do so. Everyone knew. The MEDIA would not let on the truth as it is run by the establishment.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer responded to the sudden outcry by insisting that the Democrats never hid Biden’s health status from the public. Remember how the Democrats instantly outed Biden after his first disastrous debate with Trump? The Democrats seemingly do not. Schumer insists that Biden stepped down “on his own because he thought it was better, not only for the Democratic Party, but for America.” Biden was firm in his stance that he would not drop out of the race. He then said he would consider stepping aside if a health issue presented itself, followed by announcing he fell ill with COVID-19. Then, the media reported that Biden was “receptive” to dropping out of the race. Tensions between the Bidens and his own party, particularly Nancy Pelosi, told a different story.
Stop listening to the mainstream media and look at the facts for yourself. No one should be surprised that Joe Biden was mentally unfit for the job. Most of us were outraged YEARS ago when it was clear as day that Biden was on the decline. The Democrats should be ashamed if not investigated for insisting that Biden was mentally competent to permit the establishment to control the nation.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is swiftly reversing course before Donald Trump takes office. Zuckerberg openly used Meta, formerly Facebook, as a propaganda tool to influence US elections, promote the COVID agenda, and deplatform anyone speaking out against the establishment.
Zuckerberg began to change his tune over the summer when his company was investigated by the House Judiciary for censoring free speech. The media mogul pointed the finger at Biden and Harris, insisting they “repeatedly pressured” him to censor content before and during their time in the White House.
“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, 2024, 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. They even removed Donald Trump from the outlet. Anyone who mentioned vaccinations, lockdowns, or the origins of the COVID virus were removed from social media without warning.
Zuckerberg hid the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the 2020 US Presidential Election and promoted the Russian collusion hoax. The invisible hand was at play, naturally, as the Facebook founder was able to prevent the break-up of his company by pouring hundreds of millions into the election and then blamed Russia for buying advertisements on Facebook during the 2016 election. Mark Zuckerberg dumped more than $400 million into manipulating the 2020 presidential election where Democratic operatives typically funneled the money. These were often areas where voter canvassing was used in Biden’s get-out-the-vote effort.
The establishment called his actions “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 back in August 2024. The truth of the matter is that he weaponized social media to promote political rhetoric. His company, with the backing of the establishment, determined what was “misinformation” and who could and could not have a voice.
Now, he is pointing the finger at the “legacy media” for promoting misinformation about Trump. He has opted to switch the fact-checking process to a “community notes” method similar to what Elon Musk has offered on X. “We tried in good faith to address those concerns without becoming the arbiters of truth. But the fact checkers have just been too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they’ve created, especially in the US,” Zuckerberg added. “So over the next couple of months, we’re going to phase in a more comprehensive community note system.”
He also said that forbidden keywords relating to migration and gender would no longer be restricted. “What started as a movement to be more inclusive has increasingly been used to shut down opinions and shut out people with different ideas,” Zuckerberg said. “And it’s gone too far. So I want to make sure that people can share their beliefs and experiences on our platforms.”
Zuckerberg is in full damage control mode. He donated $1 million to Trump’s campaign when it was clear that Harris would lose. The far leftist puppet is suddenly a patriot who praises the First Amendment after spending his career silencing conservative voices.
“The U.S. has the strongest constitutional protections for free expression in the world. Europe has an ever increasing number of laws institutionalizing censorship and making it difficult to build anything innovative there. Latin American countries have secret courts that can order companies to quietly take things down. China has censor apps from even working in the country.” China is now to be vilified as the popularity of TikTok grows.
Fact-checking agencies like PolitiFact said they had no warning that Zuckerberg was halting his mass censorship program. Zuckerberg hired Joel Kaplan, a Republican policy head who has criticized his tactics endlessly, to fix his mess. “This program has been a major part of the global fact-checking community’s work for years,” she said. “People are upset because they saw themselves as partners in good standing with Meta, doing important work to make the platform more accurate and reliable,” one agency head told reporters. There were over 170 agencies across the world working on behalf of the establishment to remove content. As with those indoctrinated by progressive ideology, they actually believed that they were making a difference and protecting the public.
Zuckerberg was willing to participate in stifling American’s First Amendment rights and swaying public perception. As of this writing, the platform is still removing content that it deems inappropriate or misinformation. This man broke laws on behalf of the establishment but now wants to be in Trump’s good graces. Who would trust this platform now? It is almost comical to believe that ANY social media platform is void of some form of censorship.

Folks, I know this is not a popular opinion, but I have always promised to call them exactly as the data aligns and as I see them unfolding.
Taking a position in support of Tommy Robinson, taking a strong position against Muslim rape gangs in the U.K., and taking a position in favor of Nigel Farage are not controversial positions in the world of MAGA. In fact, they are popular positions widely held by all of us. However, those positions have little bearing on OUR set of challenges in the USA.
For almost two years, there has been a background conversation with a handful of people watching the Silicon Valley network closely and monitoring every move and position they take. They hold an entirely divergent set of motives that are not aligned with Making America Great Again behind this crew.
I’m simply saying for everyone to keep their eyes wide open, review THAT ARTICLE I just linked above and put it in the context of the issues and discussions we have had on these pages. Remember, there are literally trillions at stake, and we have been duped too many times. The issues and the stakes in our nation are just too important.
The concern we have is about the “surveillance state” and the creations of the Silicon Valley tech bros that are building out tools that can easily be weaponized as the contracts with the U.S government are fulfilled. President Trump will not weaponize them, but the existing tools and the DHS track and trace enhancements being built by the tech team are threats to liberty.
Real ID connected to facial recognition, connected to personage, a digital identity and/or a track and trace capability is ultimately an assembled tech tool for control. Politically Exposed Persons are the most vulnerable.
Those who follow the deepest weeds of their constructs know that billionaire Elon Musk’s ability to have a public influence platform would not exist without the full support of billionaire Larry Ellison. They are absolute partners, mentor and protegee. The part that people are having a hard time accepting is the end goal, the motive behind that Ellison support.
My opinion is today the same as it was when the situation first started to surface. Think of how the Sea Island group positioned Ron DeSantis for his MAGA challenge in 2024. That was a long-term plan that started years before DeSantis entered the primary. DeSantis took positions that were highly favored by President Trump supporters, and his network constructed an image that was intentional to ingratiate himself within the movement.
What we have researched with Elon Musk carries many of the same background datapoints and nuance. Musk takes popular positions to cover for some very un-MAGA proposals; the H1B issue is just one facet. Overall, a technological system of surveillance and control by a few tech oligarchs is well underway.
We must keep our eyes wide open, trust our instincts and differentiate between key issues that can impact us and our families, and the issues we support but are not direct impacts on our lives. We want a big tent; we all want to see success for President Trump and the MAGA agenda, but we cannot achieve our goals if liberty is lost in the process.
The surveillance state diminishes liberty; it needs to be confronted as it surfaces.
Thankfully, President Trump is aware of these concerns.
