/1🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨

New docs from the Brennan-Clapper intel committee reveal the group pushed DHS to adopt covert influence campaigns and use “trusted messengers” to get the “American people to feel” a certain way about issues.

#DeepStateDiaries PART 6: Image
/2 Today, we are releasing the sixth tranche of internal files from the “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group,” obtained exclusively through our litigation with @RichardGrenell against the Biden DHS:
/3 Today’s installment highlights how the Group led by John Brennan and James Clapper advocated for using DHS’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis to adopt covert messaging and influence campaigns targeted at the American public.
/4 In a previous installment of #DeepStateDiaries, documents exposed that the Group thought that “quietly making democracy work” was the solution to crushing political dissent...
/5 Today’s installment picks up on that same conversation and shows how the Group discussed manipulating messages and using “trusted messengers” to “get the American people to feel” a certain way about issues. Image
/6 During the Group’s September 2023 Meeting, the group discussed the best way to get people to accept their partisan message that the threat of domestic extremism only comes from Trump supporters.

Moreover, the group discussed redefining political dissent as a “public health” crisis. At first, the Group wanted this messaging to come from the White House:Image

Image
/7 In a telling admission, made nearly a year ago, one participant acknowledged President Biden’s decline stating “The President seems an ineffective messenger, particularly with who his opponent is” and asks “who could be a good messenger?” Image
/8 Another group member, likely from DHS, then noted that Secretary Mayorkas had been doing his part in working with elected and other political officials. “The other guy [Trump] has been forceful. S1 [Mayorkas] has rallied across the government on this.” Image
/9 This participant suggested that DHS “quietly talk to people” and work with people on “both sides of the political aisle” to try to “arm them with the right information.”
/10 In addition to deputizing political leaders, the group looked to “crisis communications” by the private sector as an example and asked who else might make effective surrogates for their message.

They noted that they needed “other digital channels for influence” and that DHS needed to use other groups for its social media outreach to push its message efficiently.Image
Image
/11 One participant suggested trying to get the National Sheriffs Association or border sheriffs to carry their message to people who do not agree with them. Image
/12 Another suggested that it be state and local leaders since there is a “mistrust at the national level.” Image
/13 Another suggested that DHS work with the hosts of the “All In” podcast because “all Republican candidates” had appeared on that show. And, if they could get a couple of the hosts “to support what you are saying, people listen to them.” Image
/14 In summary, the Brennan-Clapper-led DHS intel group had a full-length discussion about manipulating the optics of their political messaging to the American public. They suggested various ways to use the government to launder their political messaging through other channels, including co-opting political leaders, social media companies, and media outlets they perceive to be trusted by their political opponents.
/15 Their message is that all domestic violent extremism comes from Trump supporters and, therefore, such speech should be censored on a public health basis or treated as a public health crisis.
/16 Stay tuned for the next installment of #DeepStateDiaries…

/1🚨BREAKING🚨

An apparent illegal MS-13 gang member who attends Loudoun County Public Schools was arrested for allegedly:

‼️Carrying a gun
‼️Threatening to shoot another student

We sued Loudoun County Public Board for unlawfully silencing parents who voiced their concerns: Image
/2 For years, the Loudoun County School Board has actively suppressed criticism and silenced dissenting voices at school board meetings under the guise of protecting student privacy. This led to a special grand jury report blasting the school district for hiding behind suspect privacy justifications at the expense of student safety.Image
Image
/3 On October 8, 2024, a group of concerned parents and community members attended the school board’s public meeting to voice their concerns over reports that the school had decided to reinstate a reported illegal alien student with ties to the transnational MS-13 gang who had previously been arrested for carrying a stolen firearm and threatening to kill a classmate.Image

/1‼️NEW INVESTIGATION‼️

We're investigating the Biden-Harris DOJ's potential involvement with The 65 Project, a “dark money group with ties to Democratic Party heavyweights” that publicly targets conservative lawyers: Image
/2 After the 2020 election, then-president and executive director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law Kristen Clarke called post-election challenge lawsuits “frivolous” and “packed with conspiracy-laden theory and baseless allegations” and suggested that President Trump’s Georgia phone call “is potentially criminal…under both Georgia state law and our federal election law.”
/3 The 65 Project’s managing director, Michael Teter, told CNN that “[c]reating a system of deterrence requires that people know these complaints have been filed.” Image

/1🚨🔎NEW INVESTIGATION INTO SPECIAL COUNSEL JACK SMITH’S OFFICE —

We just launched an investigation into the Biden-Harris DOJ and FBI to obtain all communications from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s Office throughout its investigation of President Trump: Image
/2 Recent reports have raised further serious questions about the integrity of the Department of Justice and Special Counsel Smith’s investigation into President Trump...
/3 Former senior Department of Justice officials expressed concern that Special Counsel Smith’s team is coordinating directly with Vice President Harris’ presidential campaign.

These reports are deeply troubling and warrant investigation. Image

/1🚨KAMALA’S BIG LIE — “The first bill that we offered Congress...was a bill to fix our immigration system.”

Harris’ bill was a mass amnesty for illegals. It would have only further fueled the greatest illegal immigration crisis in history.

🧵We explain…
/2 Kamala has repeated the fallacy long-advanced by the left that providing an amnesty to millions of illegal aliens already in the United States will result in fewer illegal aliens coming to the United States. 

But this is totally illogical. As the last 4 years have shown, rewarding illegal immigration encourages more illegal immigration. Catch-and-release leads to more catch-and-release. 

AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HER IMMIGRATION BILLS FACILITATE.
/3 Every crime committed by an illegal alien is a crime that, by definition, should never have occurred. 

If an alien is on the streets, they pose a risk to the American people. 

If the alien is detained pending deportation or the outcome of court proceedings, they do not.

/1📰NEW BRIEF —

We just filed a brief urging the Supreme Court of the United States to support parent's rights and reject Montogomery County Public School's (MCPS) attempt to indoctrinate students with a mandatory curriculum on sexuality and "gender identity."

Details… Image
/2 MCPS has adopted a radical program of instruction, including:

🚨Requiring teachers to use books that expose children to radical gender ideology;
🚨Prohibiting parents from opting out of classroom instruction encouraging transgenderism and that the concept biological sex is a social construct;
🚨Disregarding all religious objections to instruction on gender ideology.Image
Image
Image
/3 Accordingly, the Supreme Court of the United States should review this case because:

As AFL notes that courts have historically deferred to public school curriculum choices on the assumption that schools, through curriculum, “inculcat[e] fundamental values necessary to the maintenance of a democratic political system.” However, this is ahistorical as compulsory state-controlled education was not in the framers’ minds. Thus, school curriculum deserves no deference when it conflicts with constitutional rights.
