1. Do not overlook the importance of this Deep State two-step admission by IG Michael Horowitz.

He is calling out FBI Director Chris Wray big time !!

oig.justice.gov/reports/manage…
2. On its face the OIG release outlines a review and finding, actually a warning, by Horowitz’s office about FBI contractor access to “a certain national security database.”
3. The release is titled: “Management Advisory: Notification of Concerns Identified in the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Contract Administration of a Certain Classified National Security Program”.

oig.justice.gov/reports/manage…
4. On the surface of the current release the OIG is noting concerns and a warning shared with the FBI about ongoing contractor access to the NSA database; thus, a “classified national security program” becomes defined.

It's the bulk metadata NSA database.
5. However, in the background of this current release it appears the OIG is using this public notification as a CYA of sorts. Meaning the OIG is saying publicly they have advised the FBI of “concerns” with this database being abused.
6. Indeed, we know the OIG was reviewing FBI contractor access to the NSA database as a result of both FISA judge Rosemary Collyer and FISA judge James Boasberg reports.
7. It was little discussed on January 19, 2019, when the OIG revealed “Misconduct by Two Current Senior FBI Officials and One Retired FBI Official While Providing Oversight on an FBI Contract.”

oig.justice.gov/reports/2019/f…
8. As specifically, and in my opinion *intentionally* noted by the OIG, the FBI used their intelligence authority to “classify” their response to IG Horowitz warning; and now Horowitz is informing the public of that opaque FBI approach.
9. Essentially, this can be looked at as Horowitz calling out the FBI for hiding information, yet the IG is using carefully worded public information to do so.
10. The FBI hid their response to the IG warning behind the cloud of “classification”, leaving the IG with no alternative except to say the classified response (March 2020) has to be accepted as the final FBI response to the IG warning.
11. Horowitz: […] "The classification marking of the working draft report ... have contributed to the delays in finalizing this review."
12. Horowitz: "So that we can begin the process of resolving issues that we identified during the review ... we have determined that it would be in the OIG’s and the FBI’s interests to conclude our review by treating the OIG’s working draft report ... as a management advisory."
13. Horowitz: "Further, based on the oral and written feedback previously provided by the FBI on the working draft report, we consider the 11 recommendations contained within the working draft report to be final and their status “resolved.”
14. The IG is then saying to the FBI you have 90 days to tell us what you did to address the contractor access abuses.

The OIG is covering his ass, and telling us why.

oig.justice.gov/reports/manage…
15. Keep in mind this contractor access to the bulk NSA metadata is a big deal. All of the FISA audits in the past six years have pointed out FBI contractors abuse their access to the database and unlawfully extract information without following fourth amendment protections.
16. The scale of the abuse is actually stunning; and now the OIG has reviewed the same FBI process and found the same issues uncorrected.

The FBI is attempting to retain an unlawful process.
17. The valid purpose of the NSA database has been exploited to: (1) gain opposition research on political entities; AND (2) the NSA database is being exploited to retrieve information useful for financial gains (insider information).
18. The FBI contractors inside the network are in the business of selling information which they obtain from their access to the NSA database.

Horowitz and FISC says it needs to stop.
Wray says notsomuch.
19. Everyone inside the system is compromised by the extracted data. We can only imagine the blackmail material floating around DC in the hands of those who weaponize it and refuse to relinquish power.

FUBAR !
20. This database is the source, the root source, of all things currently happening in/around politics.

Whoever controls it, controls EVERYTHING !

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. 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 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.

There are bad actors in DC that I can believe are "CIA operators." Why? Because earnestly after years of doing this, I cannot think of any other reason why they would be protected.

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.

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.
2/ 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 Kash Patel and Edward Snowden?

One is a Truth Teller the other is a Truth Manager.

Good Sign - President Trump Announces No Position for Nikki Haley or Mike Pompeo in New Administration theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/0…
2. ♦ Nikki Haley directly blamed President Trump for the violent events during January 6, 2021, and said, “I don’t think [Trump’s] going to be in the picture,” she said, matter-of-factly. “I don’t think he can. He’s fallen so far.” […] “We need to acknowledge he let us down,” she said. “He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.”

politico.com/interactives/2…
3. Haley cares about one thing, her own position and power – that’s it.  She really is the worst type of politician you can fathom. 

Nikki Haley was supported and funded by infamous CIA Acting Director Mike Morell.  Haley was a tool of the “six ways from Sunday” group. Image

With Mail-in Ballots Assisting, Moldova Votes for Pro-War Alignment With EU/NATO - Conflict is Now Imminent theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/0…
2. For more than two years we have been saying to keep an eye on Moldova in the background.  Yesterday Moldova held their national election, and while the actual number of people living in Moldova voted for the anti-war position, once the overseas ballots were added the results changed.  The nationalists became the minority and the pro-war/pro-EU globalists declared victory.

politico.eu/article/moldov…
3. This may seem like a relatively ‘over there’ and small issue.  However, the people who control Joe Biden, the U.S. State Dept and the CIA have been positioning themselves in/around Moldova for several years now.  Watch out for Moldova to become the spark that leads to escalated conflict with Russia.

Someone once said, "watch Moldova."

The last, desperate effort of USAID either creates the backdrop for expanded NATO war with Russia, or the effort dies there. The relevance of A Blinken and S Power is on the Moldovan line.
2. USAID/CIA and Dept of State recently failed in Georgia. [The country, not state]

The majority of the people in Georgia do not support the continual bloodshed in Ukraine, they are pragmatic with their views toward Russia, and they don’t want the USA and Brussels determining their politics for them.  Georgia Dream is like a Georgia-First party.   They had an election last weekend and retained control over parliament.

3. They failed, because the message underpinning their current geopolitical effort has long been essentially silly.

In a 2024 world, the CIA, USAID and DoS are still selling the 1980's "we are the world" narrative. Image

1. The Aftermath

When it comes to the ‘after part’, well, as a long-time CERT recovery member perhaps I can guide you through the expectation and you might find some value. Consider this little word salad a buffet, absorb what might be of value pass over anything else. Image
2. Hurricanes can be frightening; downright scary.  There’s nothing quite like going through a few to reset your outlook on just how Mother Nature can deliver a cleansing cycle to an entire geographic region.   The sounds are scary. Try to stay calm despite the nervousness.  Telephone and power poles, yes, even the concrete ones, can, and likely will, snap like toothpicks.  Trees will bend and break; the sounds are dramatic.
3. Then silence.  No birds. No frogs. No crickets. No sound.

Nature goes mute.  It’s weird.

We have no idea how much ambient noise is around us, until it stops.

1. I have been asked to put my hurricane prep into a thread. This might be long. It's a buffet of prepper stuff that others have found to be valuable. Take what you find valuable, ignore what you don't. It's just information. Image
2. Due to this path, the area north of the impact eyewall will see winds offshore.  The area directly south of the impact eyewall will see winds directly onshore.   Preparations are always critical within the cone area; however, preparations for a west to east storm are even more critical.  A few miles and a little wobble can make all the difference in the storm surge.
3. For those in the cone of uncertainty, remember, planning and proactive measures taken now can significantly reduce stress in the days ahead. As a general rule: take cover from wind – but evacuate away from water.
