People who ask me if I would ever run for politics or accept a position the answer is ABSOLUTELY no way because if it was me testifying before Marilyn Strickland (born 1962) a Representative from Washington State, I would have made her day. She is so unqualified to hold any office it is why we are in such a crisis. She is the first member of the United States Congress of both Korean and African-American heritage, and the first African-American member elected from Washington. That was the cheering point – it was all about ethnic background and race – not qualification?
Ukraine is the motherland of ethnic cleansing. They were killing Polish, Jews, and Russians. Hitler promised them a country, which they NEVER had, so they became Nazis and and began killing anyone who was not of Ukrainian blood. The CIA protected the Ukrainian Nazis because they also hatred Russia. So it did not matter how many Jews they killed. That was sanctions as long as they were also killing Russians. NOT a single Ukrainian was ever put on trial like the Germans for their wear crimes.
As soon as there was the 2014 Revolution which we instigated with John McCain there at Maidan advocating the overthrow of the government against international law and Victoria Nuland handing out sandwiches to the revolutionaries, and then handpicked the interim government which then they instructed to attack the Russian in the Donbas. That was NOT an elected government. This was a NEOCON installed government intended yo start this war with Russia.
Strickland is ignorant of the facts as she wants total war with Russia pushed out of Ukraine and the Russians Russian people of the Donbas should then be subject to Kiev’s ethnic cleansing which started this mess. She is not interested in the fact and clearly is supporting the Ukrainian Nazis at this point.
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.
Bandara who start the ethnic cleansing in Ukraine is still a national hero. His picture was all over Maidan. This is why I do not want to EVER have any such position in government because I would not be so kind. I would have tore her apart on national TV and set the record straight and ask her so you support the same agenda as Adolf Hitler and the CIA to just kill Russians? So you agree with your Republican Adversary Lindsey Graham this is the best money we ever spent to kill the Russian people? What if you said that about Blacks, Muslims, Jews, or Christians?
Her statement that Russia will then attack a NATO nation. That is a Neocon propaganda. Russian went into the Donbas to protect Russians – not to conquer Ukraine. If you do not understand your enemy, you will lose in this war. Her stupidity is brining us closer to World War III with every stupid word.

Government officials are rapidly moving onto US military bases for security. The Atlantic reported that Stephen Miller, Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and other senior officials have relocated to US bases around Washington, D.C. These officials have received personal threats and have been notified by intelligence agencies that civil unrest is inevitable.
This is an extremely unusual occurrence as these homes were typically used by high-ranking military officers. These officials have been doxxed by the legacy media. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was forced to relocate and the Daily Mail published her Navy Yard address. The staffers who relocated are considered temporary residents, but they would not have been able to move if not grants permission from the administration.
Critics argue that the lines between the military and civilian leaders have been blurred, and argue that public servants should reside among the public they serve. The issue is that these individuals are receiving an alarming number of death threats as civil unrest boils over into political violence. It is doubtful that these officials are happy about the move themselves, but it is essential for security.
The president is also preparing for political violence. The controversial White House ballroom renovation includes an undisclosed security feature. The original East Wing, built in 1902, featured an underground bunker. The Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) was used during World War II and the 9/11 premeditated demolitions. The White House has been focusing on the ballroom renovation with little discussion of the updated security features that will be added to the existing bunker.

Many people are questioning why Tulsi Gabbard is able to discover and expose activity by the Obama administration and the Intelligence Community, yet prior office holders did not.
Last year, when asked for approaches that could assist a Trump Term-2, I outlined the possibilities for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). What we are seeing today is running in direct parallel to that original outline.
As our conversation expands, and we await the counter attack against her, perhaps it is worth a revisit. I will explain the predictable counter attack at the end.
August, 2024 – The ODNI was created as an outcome of the 9-11 Commission recommendations. In the era shortly after 9/11, the DC national security apparatus was constructed to preserve continuity of government and simultaneously view all Americans as potential threats.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) were created specifically for this purpose.
Washington DC created the modern national security apparatus immediately and hurriedly after 9/11/01. DHS came along in 2002, and within the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 the ODNI was formed.
When Barack Obama and Eric Holder arrived a few years later, those newly formed institutions were viewed as opportunities to create a very specific national security apparatus that would focus almost exclusively against their political opposition.
Here is the weird part. The ODNI was formed in 2004, with the intent for the office to be the pivot point of a national security radar. The DNI was intended to provide information to domestic agencies about foreign terror networks that would prevent something like 9-11 from happening again. However, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has never, not for one day, operated on this intent. This is why they are such a critical position from my perspective.
The office was new, not established yet as a functioning silo, when Barack Obama and Eric Holder arrived in 2009. They quickly dispatched an idiot, James Clapper, into the operation so they could weaponize around the offices’ fulcrum point.
Prior to the DNI office existing, the CIA radar would sweep externally and then report to the Office of the President. The DNI was intended to take external radar sweep (CIA) and make it a full 360° circle, adding a sweep inside the USA that would be handled by the Dept of Homeland Security.
The DHS sweep and the CIA sweep would then be combined into a central collection hub called the ODNI. Everyone with responsibility for “national security” could access the ODNI material. Essentially and presumably, post 9-11 nothing like jihadists practicing to fly airplanes would be missed again; at least that was the intent.
The weird part is that because the DNI was immediately weaponized, the office has never functioned to the purpose of its intent.
No one truly knows what the office possibilities consist of, because no one has ever seen anyone try to functionally control the hub. If you think I’m joking about the intent of Obama and John Brennan using the DNI, watch this video. This is before Brennan became CIA Director; this is when Brennan was helping Barack Obama put the pillars into place.
.
For the intents of this outline, the takeaway is how the DNI office has never been used for good. In a strategic way, that can be used to our advantage if you are talking about leveraging silos against each other.
Example: The DNI can assemble material from any silo. Meaning the DNI can reach into any IC silo and extract anything they want. Under the original authorities given to the DNI, this authority exists. So, let’s spread the wings on this office and do exactly what it is permitted to do, only this time extract for the purpose of showing the President what is happening in every silo.
In essence, the DNI *CAN BE* deployed like a super strong cross-silo inspector general’s office. Force the other IC silos to comply with the demands of the DNI. This has never been done. But the DNI has this unique power.
The DNI can make the FBI, DOJ, DOJ-NSD, DoD, DoS and CIA provide anything and everything they demand. Instead of the other silos using blocks and threats against the office of the President, use the authority of the DNI to get them without confrontation. Then use the DNI to declassify the documents (if requested by POTUS), instead of the originating silo.
Can you see how the DNI office can be repurposed to be a seriously strong weapon in the toolbox of the President, against the schemes of those inside the various IC silos? The DNI becomes much more important than the CIA Director, NSA Director, FBI Director, Attorney General, etc, because the DNI can just show up and say, “give me this.” That’s the whole functional purpose of the DNI office that has never been exerted; let’s flippin’ use it.
Let’s use the office of the DNI as the central information hub that takes information from inside the corrupt silos, then provides that information to the President who puts sunlight upon it. Each corrupt silo penetrated with disinfectant. This could begin a process to pull down the shadow operations and let the American public see what has been happening inside our IC apparatus.
To accomplish this approach, the National Security Advisor to the President (NSA), would be the person who tells the DNI exactly what they are looking for.
How does the NSA know what to look for? Because the National Security Advisor is the head of the National Security Council (NSC).
Let the NSC monitor the silos with specific intent, then provide Trump’s NatSec Advisor, [now Rubio], with details on what appears to be happening and where. With the approval of the President, the NSA then turns to the DNI and says, “POTUS wants this, go get this.”
Raw, unfiltered, unredacted information. The silo administrators end up in a fight with the ODNI, not the office of President Trump. President Trump then uses the power of his office to support the demands of the DNI.
Under this approach the DNI has a lot more power; yet funnily, it’s power they already have – yet have never utilized.
Unfortunately, the DNI needs to be confirmed by the Senate Intelligence Committee – so, this factors into who could achieve the position. [NOTE: Ric Grenell is too valuable in another position.] John Ratcliffe might be a possibility, but I’m not sure he would be strong enough to go up against the system he knows well (and on a character issue he’s bff’s with Trey Gowdy).
Preferably, we really want an outsider in this role; yet any true outsider is going to face massive scrutiny getting through the nomination filter. [Prior Outline END]
ADD: That’s exactly what happened with Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination.
Why didn’t John Ratcliffe discover this information when he was DNI?
The occam’s razor answer is, he wasn’t looking.
Ratcliffe is part of the IC apparatus that structurally retains the guardrails allowing the IC to exist as the strongest, non statutory, part of our government. Ratcliffe, like Devin Nunes, believes in the system. They see the world threat through the prism of the IC system that tells them where, when and why to be fearful.
John Ratcliffe also worked for John Ashcroft, the main author of the Patriot Act.
They are not bad men, they just believe the worldview presented, because it has always been thus.
But now is not then. Our ‘this’ is no longer ‘thus’. Now we have President Trump, the embodiment of kryptonite to the superstate.
Now we enter the era when great boldness is needed. Brutal honesty is required. A combination of humility and arrogance is needed. Totally different skillsets.
Ratcliffe believes in the system, but he is simultaneously open to allowing Tulsi to do her thing and show him the dangers he doesn’t see.
EXAMPLE: Tulsi took the National Intelligence Council (NIC) out of the CIA. Tulsi could not do that without Ratcliffe’s agreement.
Now, Ratcliffe is watching Gabbard work, seeing what it brings to the surface, seeing a DNI -funnily an office he held- through an entirely new prism. Ratcliffe operated the DNI in the same way that all prior DNI’s operated it. Tulsi is operating the DNI in a completely different way.
I have written about the possibilities of the DNI office, the unknown power when the office was created. Now I am watching Tulsi Gabbard test my theories in real time, and it is beyond cool.
Again, this response may not make sense to most. You really have to spend too much time understanding the IC system and the silos they operate to ‘get it.’
Ratcliffe did what he thought was possible within the confines of the DNI position. Tulsi is changing the definition of the DNI position – expanding the wings of power it holds, and doing what is possible.
This expanded power, now clearly visible, was legislatively authorized in the Patriot Act and subsequent creation of the DNI. Gabbard’s use of it is why the SSCI now wants to change the legislation that created the DNI.
Keep watching, and be very cautious of Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Tom Cotton.
It’s going to be Tulsi Gabbard vs Tom Cotton! [Patriots vs Sea Island] Remember this as we go forward. SSCI Chairman Cotton is assembling his weapons right now; he has no choice – Cotton accepted the role. Tom Cotton is now the “hand” of the Intelligence Community.
You have to understand how the DC system operates in collaboration with the Intelligence Community apparatus. Almost no one does. The IC (domestic and foreign) cannot allow DNI Gabbard to follow a non traditional format. The SSCI is their weapon, the tool they use to retain all activity within guardrails the IC have constructed.
As you might remember from the outline last year, again cited above, the National Security Advisor plays a key role in coordination with the Director of National Intelligence. The NatSec Advisor is now Marco Rubio.
Does this mean we need to trust Marco Rubio?
I don’t ‘trust’ anyone except God and mom, and even she can be sketchy at times. Instead, I review who people are by the actions they take.
Do I trust a man in his 30s elected to the Senate. No.
Do I trust a man in his 40s who became the fulcrum point for a gang of eight amnesty plan. No.
Do I trust a 50 year old man who rose all the way to the SSCI Chair, then left elected office, freed himself from the world of controlling donors, became Secretary of State at the most consequential time in modern political history, and immediately told the world that, “Ukraine was a proxy war for the USA against Russia”?
Again, no.
However, dismantling USAID, working directly against the interests of the dark world of the Intelligence Community (CIA), and supporting President Trump by stating bold truths that burn all the vessels that could return him to the IC island, point in one direction only.
He knows the proverbial “them.” After leaving elected office, he’s free of them…. AND more importantly, he’s taking action to show it.
That’s beyond historic, and a very good thing to see.
Do I trust Marco Rubio? No….
I trust God and Mom.
….That said, I would be the first to buy him a beer and thank him for what he is now doing. The rest comes in time.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney welcomes President Donald Trump at the beginning of the working sessions for the G7 assembly in Canada.
During the press availability President Trump notes the G7 used to be the G8, however following the Crimea referendum and President Putin’s response to accept the outcome of the vote, the NATO alliance led by President Barack Obama took Russia out of the group. President Trump says he “agreed” with Putin’s reaction to the decision.
The G7 speak about Russia consistently at almost every meeting, without a willingness to listen to the voice or opinion of Russia in context to their protestations. Quite simply it is easier for Italy, Canada, the U.K, France, Germany, Japan and the USA to exist inside an echo-chamber without having their multilateral arguments challenged. President Trump does not fear the debate of ideas with Russia present in the room, another point of distinction between Trump and the assembly.
Wrong is wrong even if everybody does it; and right is right even if nobody does it. It takes strong confidence to assert a position counter to popular opinion, this is what makes President Donald Trump a transformative political influence.
In the background, President Vladimir Putin is undoubtedly paying attention.
Also, read carefully what President of the European Council António Costa said today:
CANADA – […] European Commission boss Ursula von der Leyen and President of the European Council António Costa on Sunday both urged Trump to stop hurting the global economy with tariffs.
“Let’s keep trade between us fair, predictable and open. All of us need to avoid protectionist measures — this is an important message that the G7 can send to the markets and to the world,” von der Leyen told reporters, speaking alongside Costa at the first press conference of the G7 leaders’ meeting in Canada.
Calling for “a frank discussion among the G7 partners, restoring a sense of stability and predictability among ourselves,” von der Leyen stressed Brussels was still negotiating a trade truce with Washington.
Costa said the EU can’t increase defense spending, as Trump wants it to, if it has to fight a trade war at the same time.” (link)
A parasitic statement if there ever was one.
Put another way, the EU threatens that President Trump will not be able to lessen USA military spending from NATO, if he simultaneously demands reciprocal trade rules from NATO countries.

A Georgia appellate court has disqualified Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the case against Donald Trump and removed her from prosecuting not only Trump but also the co-defendants in the case she brought in relation to the efforts to overturn the 2020 election. [RULING HERE]
The decision is likely to cripple the case completely and stop the Georgia efforts to prosecute Trump. Federal prosecutors have already dropped the other criminal case related to the 2020 election in the wake of Trump winning the 2024 election.
VIA POLITICO – A Georgia appeals court has ruled that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her office must be disqualified from the criminal racketeering case she brought against President-elect Donald Trump and his allies over their efforts to alter the results of the 2020 election.
In a 2-1 decision Thursday, the court found that Willis had created the appearance of a conflict of interest stemming from her romantic relationship with an outside prosecutor whom she hired to help run the case.
“This is the rare case in which disqualification is mandated and no other remedy will suffice to restore public confidence in the integrity of these proceedings,” Judge Trenton Brown wrote, addressing the legal implications of Willis’ relationship with prosecutor Nathan Wade.
The ruling appears likely to require the case to be assigned to another prosecutor. But Trump’s imminent inauguration as president means the charges against him are almost certain to either be paused while he is in office or dismissed entirely. The proceedings against Trump’s co-defendants — including close allies like former chief of staff Mark Meadows and lawyer Rudy Giuliani — could continue to grind forward during Trump’s presidency.

The NATO war in Ukraine is essentially lost. Russia holds the strongest position against Kyiv and its supporters. President Donald Trump is set to take office in the USA raising new questions over Europeans’ trade relations, elimination of the Marshal Plan, and EU spending on their own common defense. Then add the slow-motion collapse of Trudeau’s Canadian government, and consider…
…Hungary has rebuked the Brussels control agenda. Georgia has rejected NATO and the EU’s manipulation. The government of France, essentially Germany’s most powerful partner leading the European Union, collapsed on a few short weeks ago. And now Germany, Europe’s largest economy, will be in the hands of a caretaker government until they can organize elections early next year.
When the control mechanisms of the totalitarian left fail, we see the machinery tremoring slowly, slowly, until suddenly, all at once it freezes.
GERMANY – The German government collapsed on Monday as Chancellor Olaf Scholz lost a confidence vote in Parliament, deepening a crisis of leadership across Europe at a time of mounting economic and security challenges.
[…] On Monday, German lawmakers voted to dissolve the existing government by a vote of 394 to 207, with 116 abstaining.
Coming just nine months before parliamentary elections had been scheduled to happen, the vote was an extraordinary moment for Germany. The elections, now expected on Feb. 23, will be only the fourth snap election in the 75 years since the modern state was founded. The moment reflects a new era of more fractious and unstable politics in a country long known for durable coalitions built on plodding consensus.
Mr. Scholz had little choice but to take the unusual step of calling for the confidence vote after his three-party coalition splintered in November, ending months of bitter internal squabbling and leaving him without a parliamentary majority to pass laws or a budget.
But the country’s political uncertainty is likely to last a month or more, with a new permanent government not forming until parties have agreed on a coalition, probably in April or May.
Seven parties will go into the campaign for Parliament with a realistic chance of gaining seats, and some on the political fringes — especially on the right — are poised for strong showings, according to polls. Mr. Scholz is widely expected to be ousted as chancellor (read more)

It’s not AI per se’ that poses the problem, rather it is the ability of AI software to connect, filter and process multiple databases of stored information in real time, creating a tracking and tracing system, that can be weaponized and poses a problem for those who do not want the USA to turn into a full surveillance state.
When you combine government required “Real ID” with, enhanced facial recognition software, then connect the identity to a metadata library of all the public and private electronic information of a person, what you end up with is the ability to conduct total surveillance of a targeted individual without constitutional limits and privacy protections. This is the larger problem with Palantir’s partnership with government systems.
It is a conversation no one is having before the capability is reached.
That said, Palantir CEO Alex Karp appeared at the Reagan National Defense forum, and does a great job advocating for the U.S. to win the artificial intelligence race. Karp believes it is possible to insert “values” into the software at strategic places of connection, and thereby control the outputs. The question within the AI race then becomes, whose values? Ours or our enemies?

In a series of video segments placed onto a Twitter Thread, you get a good sense for what Palantir, Karp, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and newly appointed White House Czar of AI, David Sacks, are trying to do inside this global race toward artificial intelligence as applied to government systems.

We need to know what’s working and what’s not… Software is enormously efficient. The underlying economics are ‘Both sides get more’… Transparency will not only be cheaper, the output will be better.”
.
Bottom Line: It is possible to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the risks and benefits to AI when combined with government surveillance interfaces (DHS) and government-controlled databases (NSA). It is possible to understand the risks and walk into the future with eyes wide open.
However, on the issue of how this makes the surveillance state far more likely, the conversation is not happening.
As Palantir CEO Alex Karp outlines repeatedly there are indeed great risks, and we need to have this conversation as a nation.

Following the election of President Donald J Trump, an interesting report surfaces today about Qatar, Hamas (Muslim Brotherhood) and Egypt.
Qatar is asking Hamas leadership to leave the country:
(J Post) – Qatar has reportedly clarified to the terrorist group Hamas, “You are not welcome here,” KAN reported on Friday, citing a source familiar with the matter. This development has reportedly been underway in recent days, three sources told KAN. One source told KAN that this is due to pressure from the US.
According to the report, Qatar had previously explained that Hamas’s leadership in the country was meant to facilitate dialogue during hostage negotiation efforts.
Egyptian sources told the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar that direct talks with senior Hamas officials are ongoing, with recent talks taking place on November 5, the day of the US elections. (Source)
The Trump Doctrine (as predicted) – After talking to Mohamed bin Salman (MbS) in Saudi Arabia, President Trump will call Egyptian President Fattah al-Sisi, while simultaneously telling all regional players that fighting immediately stops and Sisi is now leading the reconciliation effort.
PA/Hamas leadership will balk. President Trump will then tell Qatar to kick out the Hamas/Muslim Brotherhood leaders (“Drive them out” 2.0) or they will face economic sanctions, not from congress, from Trump.
Turkish President Recep Erdogan will be told to stick a sock in it, and he’d better not give a home base to Hamas again [FAFO].
President Trump will then tell Hamas leadership they need to live in Gaza; like actually live in the region they presumably lead – no more hiding in Qatar. President Trump will follow up with a conversation with President al-Sisi to make part of the peace deal a regional rule that all Gaza political leadership must live in Gaza.
Jordan, Syria and Kuwait will think President Trump is nuts but keep quiet because President Trump might be willing to prove he’s nuts – and eventually everyone will call President Sisi to find out the date for the peace summit.
After lunch, President Trump calls President Putin because that conflict is easier to solve.
As one who worked in a nuclear power plant, in transmission, substations, distribution, and as one who served in Vietnam, I have to issue a dire warning to readers about what the Neocons/Warmongers are pushing for in their drive to cause World War III to come about.
No, it’s not just a warning from Trump. Headlines from many sources are stating that Putin says giving long range missiles to Ukraine will cause Russia to take action by seeing the US as a direct part of the war. Yet the US has many people calling for those same missiles. There are neocons on both sides of Congress and the Administration has them as well. However, so does Russia. So does China and Iran and England and Germany. They are all over. These ghoulish people feed on death and destruction. If Russia goes to war with us and Europe, then China & Iran will side with Russia.
We no longer make large transformers in the US. Large transformers raise the voltage from power plant generators that is sent over transmission lines and then lower at substations to be sent to our homes and businesses. I am not sure about power plant generators, but I would bet most, if not all, are made in China and elsewhere overseas.
The controls for the generators, circuit breakers, reclosers, etc. are probably either made overseas or with components from overseas.
What are modern military targets? Well, as seen in the Gulf war, they include power plants and large substations. Got it? So, Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea would send missiles with nuclear bombs to those sites, to water treatment plants, as well as all major US Cities. Now visualize the aftermath. Say you are lucky to survive. You have no power nor water nor food and it will most likely be decades before some power is available. Everywhere you go, there is radioactive contamination (dust, etc.) all over and that radiation will cause you to have horrible deaths.
Did I forget about drugs? Where do almost all our prescription drugs come from? China. That means no prescription medications, including antibiotics, will be available for decades.
So, when you vote, please consider whether you are voting for an advocate for war or a person who seeks peace. Not peace through surrender, but true peace through wisdom and negotiation.

This fine imposed on Trump of $355 million, plus interest and penalties, is so outrageous it is furthering the collapse in confidence in the government, which has just become so corrupt and out of control. To put this in perspective, GoldmanSachs has agreed to pay $550 million to the Securitiesand Exchange Commission for the whole Mortgage-backed collapse they instigated. The billions of dollars lost by people was incalculable. It resulted in the Great Recession.
The entire world knows this NYC verdict is not just biased; it is deliberately interfering in the 2024 election.

New York City has the most corrupt court system in the United States as well as many third world countries, and this verdict is proof of that fact.
As I said, this verdict is so outrageous, along with the absurd jury award in the Carrol case; New York City is by no means a place to do business – EVER! The world is waking up. As I have said, when I asked a New York Lawyer why no banker ever goes to prison in NYC, his response was:
