DNI Tulsi Gabbard Removes Security Clearances of 37 Intelligence Analysts


PDirector of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard continues her effort to deconstruct the politicization of the intelligence community with the revocation of security clearances from 37 intelligence analysts.  Many of these names are from the fraudulent Intelligence Community letter that dismissed the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian disinformation.

In a Twitter announcement today, DNI Gabbard posts a notification letter that the security clearances are revoked effective immediately. Most of the names on the list are unknown to the general public, but these are the people buried deep inside the intelligence information system who are tasked with interpreting intelligence data.

The names on the list come mostly from the staff pool of the National Security Council (NSC), CIA National Intelligence Council (NIC), State Dept. and various sub-silos within the offices that deliver finished intelligence products to the CIA, FBI Counterintelligence Division, NSA intelligence analysis center and ultimately the DNI and White House.

These are the sources of politicized, often manufactured, intelligence interpretations.

When former National Security Advisor Susan Rice, DNI James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan said, “give me this outcome,” the targeted names today are the people who constructed the fraud.  Some of the names, like Beth Sanner, are currently working as “National Security Analysts” for various media operations, like CNN.

Several names on the list are former intelligence analysts who signed the letter manufactured by former Acting CIA Director Mike Morrell about the Biden laptop.

(ODNI – VIA Twitter) – “Being entrusted with a security clearance is a privilege, not a right. Those in the Intelligence Community who betray their oath to the Constitution and put their own interests ahead of the interests of the American people have broken the sacred trust they promised to uphold. In doing so, they undermine our national security, the safety and security of the American people and the foundational principles of our democratic republic.

This is why, at POTUS’ direction, ODNI directed the revocation of the security clearances of 37 current and former intelligence professionals who have abused the public trust by politicizing and manipulating intelligence, leaking classified intelligence without authorization, and/or committing intentional egregious violations of tradecraft standards.

Our Intelligence Community must be committed to upholding the values and principles enshrined in the US Constitution and maintain a laser-like focus on our mission of ensuring the safety, security and freedom of the American people.” (read more)

DNI Tulsi Gabbard appeared on Fox News, Sean Hannity (ugh), to discuss the latest developments.

Ukraine, NATO, & Europe Will NEVER Accept Peace with Russia – You Will See


Posted  originally on Aug 18, 2025 by Martin Armstrong |  

Trump vs Zelensjy

I have to admit that what I have seen from the Western Press is nothing but absurd propaganda and complete ignorance of the concept of strategy. They love to say Trump failed after previously pushing for a ceasefire and threatening severe consequences for Russia if Putin did not stop the war. President Trump appeared to back off that demand. WHY? If I were Putin, there would be no way I would agree to a ceasefire because the last time that only opens a window to rearm Ukraine. These morons are complete idiots at best, may be able to play checkers, but certainly never chess. I do not see any intelligence commenting on any network with the slightest concept of strategy.

Ukraine War

Trump offered a security guarantee, and Steve Witkoff had told CNN that Russia agreed to “Article 5-like” protections for Ukraine during Friday’s summit. This is precisely what I have been saying. Putin has been there since 1999, and he has shown ZERO interest in taking all of Europe. That is the NATO/NEOCON Bullshit that was true with Khruschev when it was a war of Communism vs Capitalism.

Putin is very Smart

Every source I have says the same thing that Putin may be the most intelligent man on the world table. Even the declassified document from Bill Clinton, dated November 19, 1999, said the same thing.

NATO_Defeat Russia_in_3_Days Adam Kinzinger
Neocon Propaganda

The Neocon propaganda will not relent. They keep up this endless desire to conquer Russia. If all my sources say the same thing, surely Putin must understand the same thing. That is why if I were him, NEVER would I agree to a ceasefire. Trump repeatedly expressed optimism that “We’re gonna have a lasting peace” after his meeting with Putin. That is his desire. The Russian people also do not want war, just as the average European or American. Leaders – not the average person- create wars.

Goring Herman on War

Even Field Marshall Goring testified to that at Nuremberg. That is how it always works. You have to bullshit the people, demonize your opponent, to manipulate people to think they are doing the right thing. It is always the same routine. A friend who works with veterans, at dinner, told me that working with World War II vets compared to Vietnam Vets is like night and day. The Vietnam Vets were lied to, abused, and were chemically poisoned.  The high rates of cancer among Vietnam veterans are not coincidental. They are a direct consequence of widespread exposure to the dioxin-contaminated herbicide Agent Orange during their service. The carcinogenic properties of dioxin, combined with other risk factors prevalent during wartime service, have led to devastating health outcomes decades later. While the VA now provides compensation and healthcare for these service-connected illnesses, the human cost remains immense. I have been told that they are angry compared to World War II Vets who believed they saved Europe.

Zelensky WWIII

My sources do not believe Zelensky nor ANY European leader, and especially NATO, whose ONLY purpose in its existence has been to create war. You have NATO demanding 5% of GDP when the entire growth rate of the EU for 2024 came in at  +0.5% (27 countries), whereas the growth rate for the whole of the Euro area was just +0.4% (EA20). This demand from NATO will fulfill our model forecasting for an economic decline into 2028. The EU is looking at war as its ONLY option; otherwise, the people will be storming their parliaments with this type of massive economic contraction.

Trump DC Summit with Europe

Trump met with the European warmongers led by Sir Keir Starmer. The leaders of France, Finland, Germany, and Italy, alongside the heads of NATO, the real leader of the pack, as well as the EU, muscled their way into this meeting. All seven leaders said they will ALWAYS be on the side of Ukraine and that the conflict with Russia must end. All my sources have warned that they will stab Trump in the back in the blink of an eye. Trump agreed with the calls for “long-term” peace, but Europe is not genuine in this regard.

While Trump had promised Putin he would call after the meeting, he picked up the phone and called Putin during the meeting. I am thoroughly disgusted at the dishonesty of Europe in this regard, and they cannot be that stupid to think that the West did not organize this entire war. They obviously only care about clinging to power rather than actually representing the people. As I said all along, all they had to do was honor the Minsk Agreement, and there would never have been a war.

I am so glad I am 75 and not 18. But my greatest lament is for my grandchildren. Zelensky was a NeoNatzi pretending to be Christian, and he is Hitler 2.0 because Ukraine still celebrated Bandera as a hero who was engaged in ethnic cleansing. Ukraine should not be totally abandoned. They attacked the pipeline to Hungary, and when Hungary accused Ukraine of an “outrageous and unacceptable” attack that disabled a Russian oil pipeline supplying this NATO ally, Zelensky’s arrogant response was an outright lie – Russia had started the war. So Hungary should send its complaints to Moscow instead.

Ukraine Nazi Parade
Bandera in March
Indepentent Neo Nazis

Many Ukrainians are still Neo-Nazis and hate Russians. They still march with images of the ethnic cleanser Bandara, who had Polish, Russians, and Jewish pregnant women cut open, removed their babies, and sewn in live cats. This has all been documented. This is our own fault. The CIA protected the Ukrainian Nazis simply because they were also ethnically cleansing all Russians. They were NEVER prosecuted, so Uktaine is still invested with bitter ethnic hatred with ZERO chance of resolution.

May 2 2014 Odessa Trade Unions House

Ukrainian Revolution (January–February 2014)

Protests turned violent in January 2014 after the government passed draconian anti-protest laws and police brutally dispersed demonstrators. The deadliest phase occurred from February 18–20th, 2014, when snipers and riot police killed over 100 protesters in Kiev, yet as Olive Stone demonstrated, it was the Ukrainians killing their own people because Victoria Nuland said the US would not intervene unless the protesters had been killed. Then on February 21st, 2014, Yanukovych fled Kyiv after signing a short-lived EU-brokered agreement. The next day, parliament voted to remove him from office.

The very next month, in May 2014, the Ukrainians began to attack Russians on the street, beating them and killing them. They wanted all Russians dead, and the Western Press turned a blind eye.  The hatred in Ukraine of non-Ukrainians goes back to the ethnic cleansing they engaged in when they were Nazis. They hate Russians, along with all other minorities, they hate and do not trust. Make no mistake about it: if Russia loses, the Ukrainians will massacre all Russians in the Donbas territory, and the Western Press will never report anything. The West ignores the fact that the Ukrainians carried out a massacre of ethnic Russians who lived in Odessa as soon as the 2014 Revolution, and that is what started this entire civil war that the Western Press will not address.

Bismark on Balkans

Oleksandr Turchynov was installed by Victoria Nuland et el as the unelected Acting President of Ukraine (February–June 2014). His government ignored the killing of Russians in Odessa. When they moved to separate, it was no different than what took place in Chechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, with similar ethnic differences that plague the Balkans, as Bismarck warned back in 1888, he instituted this civil war, claiming it was a response to escalating violence orchestrated by pro-Russian separatists after the Odessa Massacre.

Odessa Massacre May 2014

The 2014 Odessa Massacre of Russian-speaking civilians who were killed by the Ukrainians on the streets was the resurfacing of the Nazi Ethnic Cleansing. When the civilians fled for safety into the Trade Union Building, the nationalist Ukrainians burned them alive. That was the turning point. It revealed that the Donbas had to separate, for the Ukrainian hatred of Russians was out to annihilate every last one of them – not their submission to Kiev. Victoria Nuland told them to call it an anti-terrorist action because they sought a democratic solution to vote for their freedom.

The 2014 Odessa Massacre is ignored by the Western Press because they are too busy promoting World War III. For the first time in history, an organized massacre of civilians was carried out and even filmed by numerous people. The West was silent and cheered the deaths of Russian civilians. This has been documented in extraordinary detail, and the Ukrainians did not even fear any negative consequences in world opinion because the Neocons also hate Russians.

Oleksandr V. Turchynov

The historical record shows that Oleksandr Turchynov, as Acting President of Ukraine (February–June 2014), initiated the civil war, claiming that he was acting against terrorists simply because they were defending themselves, their language, which was then outlawed, and their religion.

Russia annexed Crimea in March 2014, which was a strategic military base similar to the US base in Japan at Okinawa. Russian military personnel and equipment were located there. It was an invasion. Following the Odessa Massacre, the Russian population of the Donbas declared “independence,” leading to violent clashes with Ukrainian police. It was formally on April 13th, 2014, when Turchynov announced an Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO) as the excuse to justify civil war. As Al Jazeera reported on April 13th, 2014“Ukrainian security forces have launched an ‘anti-terrorist’ operation to end the grip of separatists on an eastern town, according to the country’s interior minister.”

Ukraine Attacks Donbas 4 23 2014

There are just no independent journalists left in the West. Mainstream gets its talking points from the Neocons, including Fox News quoting the Institute for the Study of War, started by Victoria Nuland’s sister-in-law. All you have to do is look at the press reporting in 2014. It was the UNELECTED government installed by Victoria Nuland and her Neocons, who then directed them to attack the Donbas to draw in Putin.

Here, the Associated Press states at the beginning, “Ukraine’s acting President,” meaning unelected, since the Ukrainian people NEVER voted for war. Ukraine had just gone through a revolution, but the Donbas wanted to split from Ukraine because they hated Russians who had lived in the Donbas and Crimea for hundreds of years. The media never looked at the facts or the truth and has constantly promoted World War III.

Minsk Agreement Head of State

Vide

There was a peace deal, and that was all agreed to, that the Donbas would be allowed to vote and separate just as Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia. That was the way out, and it was NOT Putin or Russia that killed that deal – it was the West, where Merkel admitted that they never intended to honor that peace deal. Yet the Western press constantly puts out the Nocon propaganda promoting war and claims it is Putin who cannot be trusted.

Merkel_Minsk_Buy_Time_to Prepare for wart

The press is hell-bent on promoting World War III and they do not give a shit about the people and assume that Russia can be defeated in the blink of an eye. They never consider that no war in history has unfolded as expected.

Ukraine No Peace

Zelensky claimed that Ukraine’s Constitution prohibits surrendering territory.

wwiii ww iii

On top of all of that, Zelenskyy claimed that Ukraine’s Constitution prohibits surrendering territory or any territorial deals. In other words, there can be NO PEACE DEAL. No matter what they tell Trump, they will stab him in the back, and the computer will be correct again – WWIII is on the horizon.

EU Washington Summit

All of the European leaders came to Washington to back Zelensky, that there will BE NO PEACE in Ukraine. They all met FIRST at the Ukrainian Embassy to strategize to get Trump to reject any peace deal, for they want to conquer Russia because the EU will collapse economically. These people are insane, and they are playing with billions of lives all for a failed EU government that was never designed correctly from the outset.

The models are starting to warn about Europe in the future. We still have Panic Cycle in 2026 in both our war models and in the Euro. Sources are reporting that NATO is feeding the propaganda that Russia is weak, they can be utterly destroyed, and these stupid European leaders think that war will never reach their soil. The excuse I have heard is that Putin would NEVER use nukes because it would blow back on him.

pygmies_of_Europe_still_haven_t_realised_how_irrelevant_they_ve_become_over_

As the Telegraph just wrote:

“Sir Keir Starmer and the leaders of Europe have agreed to stand united. Defying Vladimir Putin’s bloody imperialism, they will back to the hilt Volodymyr Zelensky’s insistence that he will not trade land for peace.

Except there is one small problem. Instead of presenting their ironclad unity to the Kremlin, they’ll be doing so to Donald Trump, urging him to impose further sanctions on Russia and not to cave to more of Putin’s demands.”

There is ABSOLUTELY no intent ever to have peace with Russia – NEVER!

Churchill on Truth

When we are dealing with the direct threat of the total destruction and breakup of Russia, I would be pushing every single button if their intent is total destruction.

We have Panic Cycles in Both War & the Euro for 2026

These European Leaders with Zelensky will Stab Trump in the Back to Ensure We Get WWIII

Outline #4 – Key Criminal Conduct in The Russiagate Operation and Beyond, Mary McCord


Posted originally on CTH on August 18, 2025 | Sundance 

I have been asked to recap some of my research into cited formats of what I believe to be criminal conduct, with specific statutes against them. This is the fourth.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard is not a lawyer. While I may be wrong, I find Tulsi Gabbard to be a patriot. Mrs. Gabbard is focused on providing evidence to the DOJ that essentially forces action. I support Tulsi Gabbard’s efforts.

If there is one corrupt DC player who has escaped scrutiny for her corrupt endeavors, it would be Mary McCord.

More than any other Lawfare operative within Main Justice, Mary McCord sits at the center of every table in the manufacturing of cases against Donald Trump. {GO DEEP} Mary McCord’s husband is Sheldon Snook; he was the right hand to the legal counsel of Chief Justice John Roberts.

When the Carter Page FISA application was originally assembled by the FBI and DOJ, there was initial hesitancy from within the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) about submitting the application, because it did not have enough citations in evidence (the infamous ‘Woods File’).  That’s why the Steele Dossier ultimately became important.  It was the Steele Dossier that provided the push, the legal cover needed for the DOJ-NSD to submit the application for a Title-1 surveillance warrant against the campaign of Donald J. Trump.

When the application was finally assembled for submission to the FISA court, the head of the DOJ-NSD was John Carlin.  Carlin quit working for the DOJ-NSD in late September 2016 just before the final application was submitted (October 21,2016).  John Carlin was replaced by Deputy Asst. Attorney General, Mary McCord.

♦ When the FISA application was finally submitted (approved by Sally Yates and James Comey), it was Mary McCord who did the actual process of filing the application and gaining the Title-1 surveillance warrant.

A few months later, February 2017, with Donald Trump now in office as President, it was Mary McCord who went with Deputy AG Sally Yates to the White House to confront White House legal counsel Don McGahn over the Michael Flynn interview with FBI agents.  The surveillance of Flynn’s calls was presumably done under the auspices and legal authority of the FISA application Mary McCord previously was in charge of submitting.

♦ At the time the Carter Page application was filed (October 21, 2016), Mary McCord’s chief legal counsel inside the office was a DOJ-NSD lawyer named Michael Atkinson.  In his role as the legal counsel for the DOJ-NSD, it was Atkinson’s job to review and audit all FISA applications submitted from inside the DOJ.  Essentially, Atkinson was the DOJ internal compliance officer in charge of making sure all FISA applications were correctly assembled and documented.

♦ When the anonymous CIA whistleblower complaint was filed against President Trump for the issues of the Ukraine call with President Zelensky, the Intelligence Community Inspector General had to change the rules for the complaint to allow an anonymous submission.  Prior to this change, all intelligence whistleblowers had to put their name on the complaint.  It was this 2019 IGIC who changed the rules.  Who was the Intelligence Community Inspector General?  Michael Atkinson.

When ICIG Michael Atkinson turned over the newly authorized anonymous whistleblower complaint to the joint House Intelligence and Judiciary Committee (Schiff and Nadler chairs), who did Michael Atkinson give the complaint to?  Mary McCord.

Yes, after she left main justice, Mary McCord took the job of working for Chairman Jerry Nadler and Chairman Adam Schiff as the chief legal advisor inside the investigation that led to the construction of articles of impeachment.   As a consequence, Mary McCord received the newly permitted anonymous whistleblower complaint from her old office colleague Michael Atkinson.

KEY: Michael Atkinson was forced to testify to the joint House impeachment committee about the CIA whistleblower rule change and the process he authorized and participated in as the Intelligence Community Inspector General.  Adam Schiff sealed that deposition, and no one has ever discussed what Atkinson said when questioned.

House Speaker Mike Johnson can unseal that testimony, and Tulsi Gabbard can declassify his deposition.

Moving on…

♦ During his investigation of the Carter Page application, Inspector General Michael Horowitz discovered an intentional lie inside the Carter Page FISA application (directly related to the ‘Woods File’), which his team eventually tracked to FBI counterintelligence division lawyer, Kevin Clinesmith.  Eventually Clinesmith was criminally charged with fabricating evidence (changed wording on an email) in order to intentionally falsify the underlying evidence in the FISA submission.

When John Durham took the Clinesmith indictment to court, the judge in the case was James Boasberg.

♦ In addition to being a DC criminal judge, James Boasberg is also a FISA court judge who signed-off on one of the renewals for the FISA application that was submitted using fraudulent evidence fabricated by Kevin Clinesmith.  In essence, now the presiding judge over the FISA court, Boasberg was the FISC judge who was tricked by Clinesmith, and now the criminal court judge in charge of determining Clinesmith’s legal outcome.  Judge Boasberg eventually sentenced Clinesmith to 6 months probation.

As an outcome of continued FISA application fraud and wrongdoing by the FBI, in their exploitation of searches of the NSA database, Presiding FISC Judge James Boasberg appointed an amici curiae advisor to the court who would monitor the DOJ-NSD submissions and ongoing FBI activities.

Who did James Boasberg select as a FISA court amicus?  Mary McCord.

♦ SUMMARY:  Mary McCord submitted the original false FISA application to the court using the demonstrably false Dossier.  Mary McCord participated in the framing of Michael Flynn.  Mary McCord worked with ICIG Michael Atkinson to create a fraudulent whistleblower complaint against President Trump; and Mary McCord used that manipulated complaint to assemble articles of impeachment on behalf of the joint House Intel and Judiciary Committee.  Mary McCord then took up a defensive position inside the FISA court to protect the DOJ and FBI from sunlight upon all the aforementioned corrupt activity.

You can clearly see how Mary McCord would be a person of interest if anyone was going to start digging into corruption internally within the FBI, DOJ or DOJ-NSD.

What happened next….

November 3, 2021 – In Washington DC – “Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and the House Jan. 6 Select Committee has tapped Mary McCord, who once ran the Justice Department’s National Security Division, for representation in its fight to obtain former President Donald Trump’s White House records. (read more)

Yes, that is correct.  After seeding and guiding all of the Lawfare attacks against candidate Donald Trump, then President-Elect Donald Trump, then President Donald Trump, Mary McCord took up a key legal position inside the J6 committee to continue the Lawfare against President Trump after he left office.

But wait,…. Remember the stories of the J6 investigative staff going to work for Jack Smith on the investigation of Donald Trump, that included the raid on Mar-a-Lago?  Well, Mary McCord was a member of that team [citation]; all indications are that her efforts continued as a quiet member of the Special Counsel team

That’s the context; now I want to go back a little.

First, when did Mary McCord become “amicus” to the FISA court?  ANSWER: When the court (Boasberg) discovered IG Michael Horowitz was investigating the fraudulent FISA application.  In essence, the FISA Court appointed the person who submitted the fraudulent filing, to advise on any ramifications from the fraudulent filing.  See how that works?

Now, let’s go deeper….

When Mary McCord went to the White House with Sally Yates to talk to white house counsel Don McGhan about the Flynn call with Russian Ambassador Kislyak, and the subsequent CBS interview with VP Pence, where Pence’s denial of any wrongdoing took place, the background narrative in the attack against Flynn was the Logan Act.

The construct of the Logan Act narrative was pure Lawfare, and DAG Sally Yates with Acting NSD AAG Mary McCord were the architects.

Why was the DOJ National Security Division concerned with a conflict between what Pence said on CBS and what Flynn said about his conversations with Kislyak?

This is where a big mental reset is needed.

Flynn did nothing wrong. The incoming National Security Advisor can say anything he wants with the Russian ambassador, short of giving away classified details of any national security issue.  In December of 2016, if Michael Flynn wanted to say Obama was an a**hole, and the Trump administration disagreed with everything he ever did, the incoming NSA was free to do so.  There was simply nothing wrong with that conversation – regardless of content.

So, why were McCord and Yates so determined to make an issue in media and in confrontation with the White House?

Why did the DOJ-NSD even care?  This is the part that people overlooked when the media narrative was driving the news cycle.  People got too stuck in the weeds and didn’t ask the right questions.

Some entity, we discover later was the FBI counterintelligence division, was monitoring Flynn’s calls.  They transcribed a copy of the call between Flynn and Kislyak, and that became known as the “Flynn Cuts” as described within internal documents, and later statements.

After the Flynn/Kislyak conversation was leaked to the media, Obama asked ODNI Clapper how that call got leaked.  Clapper went to the FBI on 1/4/17 and asked FBI Director James Comey.  Comey gave Clapper a copy of the Flynn Cuts which Clapper then took back to the White House to explain to Obama.

Obama’s White House counsel went bananas, because Clapper had just walked directly into the Oval Office with proof the Obama administration was monitoring the incoming National Security Advisor.  Obama’s plausible deniability of the surveillance was lost as soon as Clapper walked in with the written transcript.

That was the motive for the 1/5/17 Susan Rice memo, and the reason for Obama to emphasize “buy the book” three times.

It wasn’t that Obama didn’t know already; it was that a document trail now existed (likely a CYA from Comey) that took away Obama’s plausible deniability of knowledge.  The entire January 5th meeting was organized to mitigate this issue.

Knowing the Flynn Cuts were created simultaneously with the phone call, and knowing how it was quickly decided to use the Logan Act as a narrative against Flynn and Trump, we can be very sure both McCord and Yates had read that transcript before they went to the White House.  [Again, this is the entire purpose of them going to the White House to confront McGhan with their manufactured concerns.]

So, when it comes to ‘who leaked’ the reality of the Flynn/Kislyak call to the media, the entire predicate for the Logan Act violation – in hindsight – I would bet a donut it was Mary McCord.

But wait, there’s more…. 

Now we go back to McCord’s husband, Sheldon Snook.

Sheldon was working for the counsel to John Roberts.  The counsel to the Chief Justice has one job, to review the legal implications of issues before the court and advise Justice John Roberts.  The counsel to the Chief Justice knows everything happening in the court and is the sounding board for any legal issues impacting the Supreme Court.

In his position as the right hand of the counsel to the chief justice, Sheldon Snook would know everything happening inside the court.

At the time, there was nothing bigger inside the court than the Alito opinion known as the Dobb’s Decision – the returning of abortion law to the states.  Without any doubt, the counsel to Chief Justice Roberts would have that decision at the forefront of his advice and counsel.  By extension, this puts the actual written Alito opinion in the orbit of Sheldon Snook.

After the Supreme Court launched a heavily publicized internal investigation into the leaking of the Dobbs decision (Alito opinion), something interesting happened.  Sheldon Snook left his position.   If you look at the timing of the leak, the investigation and the Sheldon Snook exit, the circumstantial evidence looms large.

Of course, given the extremely high stakes, the institutional crisis with the public discovering the office of the legal counsel to the Chief Justice likely leaked the decision, such an outcome would be catastrophic for the institutional credibility.  In essence, it would be Robert’s office who leaked the opinion to the media.

If you were Chief Justice John Roberts and desperately needed to protect the integrity of the court, making sure such a thermonuclear discovery was never identified would be paramount.  Under the auspices of motive, Sheldon Snook would exit quietly.  Which is exactly what happened.

The timeline holds the key.

BACK TO MARY in 2025 – During the question session for Attorney General Pam Bondi’s nomination, Adam Schiff asked Mary McCord about whether AG Bondi should recuse herself from investigating Adam Schiff and Mary McCord. It’s a little funny if you understand the background.

I prompted the video to the part at 01:36:14 when Schiff asks McCord, and Mrs. McCord responds with “yes, Pam Bondi should recuse.” WATCH:

Mary McCord says Pam Bondi must recuse herself from any investigative outcome related to the first impeachment effort.

Who was the lead staff working for Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler on the first impeachment effort?

Mary McCord.

Now, triggering that first impeachment effort… Who worked with ICIG Michael Atkinson to change the CIA whistleblower regulations permitting an anonymous complaint?

Yep, that would be the same Mary McCord.

In essence, the woman who organized, structured, led and coordinated the first impeachment effort, says Pam Bondi must recuse herself from investigating the organization, structure, leadership and coordination of the first impeachment effort.

If all that seems overwhelming, here’s a short recap:

♦ McCord submitted the fraudulent FISA application to spy on Trump campaign.

♦ McCord helped create the “Logan Act” claim used against Michael Flynn and then went with Sally Yates to confront the White House.

♦ McCord then left the DOJ and went to work for Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler on Impeachment Committee.

♦ McCord organized the CIA rule changes with Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson.

♦ McCord led and organized the impeachment effort, in the background, using the evidence she helped create.

♦ McCord joined the FISA Court to protect against DOJ IG Michael Horowitz newly gained NSD oversight and FISA review.

♦ McCord joined the J6 Committee helping to create all the lawfare angles they deployed.

♦ McCord then coordinated with DA Fani Willis in Georgia.

♦ McCord was working with Special Counsel Jack Smith to prosecute Trump.

♦ McCord is now coordinating outside Lawfare attacks against Donald Trump in term #2

♦ McCord also testified that AG Pam Bondi must recuse herself from investigating McCord.

♦ Joe Biden then pardoned Mary McCord.

Amid all the banter, opinion, negotiations and high-brow conversations about what should happen to end the Ukraine-Russia conflict, one element remains undiscussed: What do the Ukrainian People want?

Current ‘President’ Volodymyr Zelenskyy, installed as an outcome of western influence operations, extended his term in office by cancelling Ukraine elections.  His elected term ended 18 months ago, and he has not left office.  The various EU/NATO stakeholders did not want the authentic voice of the Ukrainian people to impede on the proxy war against Russia, and so they supported the election cancellation.

Now, the element never discussed by WEF/NATO or EU officials is what the citizens of Ukraine want.  From the position of Russian President Vladimir Putin, this non-democratic ‘democracy’ paints Zelenskyy as illegitimate – one of the baselines that affirms the position not to negotiate with him.

Within Ukraine,there are very visible signs the citizens no longer support Zelenskyy; however, that would be an inconvenient factor to introduce to the conflict equation, so it is simply avoided in the discussion.  Western media avoid it.

As an outcome, a lot of people watching things unfold do not understand the context that Zelenskyy is in a weak position domestically with sentiment within Ukraine turning sharply against ongoing war.  The MSM won’t report on it, and the neocon “influencers” won’t either.  The focus is on Russia bad.

From both past and present comments by President Trump, the intransigence of Zelenskyy, in combination with his strict authoritarian, some would say ‘Nazi’-like sentiments, positions the Ukranian leader as somewhat of a difficult person to deal with.  However, in the most visible sense, Zelenskyy is an amalgamation of interests that float in the background.

Beyond the civil war that existed in Ukraine long before Vladimir Putin stepped in, the USAID operation in Ukraine installed Zelenskyy.  The Intelligence Community apparatus, as deployed by the U.S. State Dept., was the tool to manipulate popular public opinion.

This is the tenuous ground upon which Zelenskyy stands. Propped up originally by leftist American government intents, he was then increasingly supported by European leaders once President Trump took efforts to withdraw the U.S. proxy status.

With President Trump openly wanting to withdraw U.S. support, the beneficiaries of the funding -specifically the U.S. Congress, Senate Foreign Relations and Intelligence Committees- went bananas.  These are the same entities who originally supported the USAID/CIA operations within Ukraine.

NATO, the EU, The United Kingdom, the global intelligence apparatus, the leaders of U.K, France, Germany et al. – all use the narrative that Russia must be feared in order to justify their position for more war and hostility.

In the background, the financial companies/banks who fund political leadership also do not want resolution without security guarantees for their lucrative financial investments. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Finnish President Alexander Stubb are set to join Monday’s conference, to ensure those financial stakes are maintained.

Yet the question needs to be asked again…

Who is representing what the Ukrainian people want?

Such a pesky question.
