Two years ago, Secretary of State @mikepompeo warned state governors that the Chinese Communist Party was monitoring and tracking them, state lawmakers, and constituents in order to manipulate them.

State Department removed the speech from its website. state.gov/u-s-states-and…
@mikepompeo 2) It's normal for the State Department under new administrations to archive the statements of the previous administration. In this case, it appears that State has removed Pompeo's speech from the archive. search.usa.gov/search?query=%…
@mikepompeo 3) Pompeo's extraordinary speech to the governors was unprecedented. Here's my summary of it. centerforsecuritypolicy.org/pompeos-warnin…
4) The original @StateDept text of Pompeo's February 8, 2020 speech to the National Governors' Association is not available on the State Dept search engine cited in #2 of this thread, but is available on a different department search engine: 2017-2021.state.gov/u-s-states-and…
@StateDept 5) Has any Biden Administration official given such a speech to warn governors and state lawmakers about Chinese Communist Party efforts to influence and manipulate them through CCP's United Front Work Department? 🤣

New York court slams #GETTR founder Miles Guo Wengui (aka Kwok) with a $134,000,000 judgment. In a very tough decision and order, the court gives Guo 5 business days to pay. Image
In a video earlier today, Guo talks about leaving the United States (where he was denied political asylum) to head for London or Japan.
Guo’s private jet is at Bradley International Airport in Hartford, Connecticut.

Is there any reason the @January6thCmte hasn't said boo about these Ukrainians and their American associates on J6? It seems like a big deal, especially the connections in Donetsk.
Lugansk, Ukraine MVD (police) wanted poster of the Ukrainian guy seen US Capitol on J6. In Russian. Curiouser and curiouser. Image

Bad Clown show at @DHSgov, which hints at more systematized crackdowns against free speech. New acronym MDM - which could be useful in sane circumstances - appears to indicate that distrust in government could be a public menace in need of enforcement. dhs.gov/ntas/advisory/…
@DHSgov 2) DHS: "foreign and domestic ... threat actors seek to exacerbate societal friction to sow discord and undermine public trust in government institutions to encourage unrest, which could potentially inspire acts of violence."

This is true. But there's a catch ...
@DHSgov 3) DHS has shown it has little interest in denying entry to, investigating, or deporting foreign threat actors.

It has been focused of late on political opponents of Biden [and his foreign threat actor connections].

It has fast become a politicized enforcement entity.

I'm going to do something crazy and start a Black History month thread about black patriots who loved America and its ideals.

We'll start with Crispus Attucks, who died in the Boston Massacre of 1770. "The first to defy, the first to die." crispusattucksmuseum.org/crispus-attuck/
2) Salem Poor, a slave who bought his freedom then in 1775 volunteered to fight in a Massachusetts militia. Served at the Battle of Bunker Hill. Shot the enemy officer who killed patriot General Joseph Warren. Served until 1780. legendsofamerica.com/salem-poor/
3) Salem Poor fought so heroically that all 14 patriot regimental commanders at Bunker Hill petitioned the Massachusetts General Court to reward him as "a brave and gallant soldier. The reward due to so great and distinguished a character, we submit to the Congress."

When the FBI chief of staff is the husband of the Washington Post's national editor who covers up stories of FBI malfeasance, democracy dies in darkness. realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2022/…
The bigger issue here is that the FBI abused the public trust yet again by placing the husband of a top Washington Post editor into a top Bureau post.
As one tiny, belated step toward regaining the public trust, all FBI officials responsible for making Jonathan Lenzner its chief of staff, including Lenzner himself, should resign from the Bureau immediately.
