🔥🔥🔥Breaking exposé! FIVE anti Trump judges are involved in a secretive, INVITE ONLY club for judges and lawyers called the American Inns of Court. Even the membership and meetings are secret. But somehow the DOJ has shown up at meetings. At least since Biden had been in office.

Is hobnobbing with the DOJ in court matters acceptable? Let alone meeting in secret?

So who all is linked to this selective and secretive club? And recall all of their negative Trump rulings?

- Judge James Boasberg (President)
- Scotus Ketanji Brown Jackson (Vice President)
- Judge Amit Mehta (Secretary and a meeting held at her court.)
- Judge Beryl Howell
Justice (Professionalism Award)
-Justice John Roberts (Honorary Bencher of the Middle Temple)

Wasn’t it something else that Judge John Roberts broke ethical conduct and stuck up for his, “brother Boasberg”?

George Soros has funded a fellowship at Middle Temple where John Roberts is a master of the bench.

First let me very quickly explain how this secret society called, the American Inns of Court came about. In the UK, they have the four Inns of Court that dates back hundreds of years. One of those is called Middle Temple (see Roberts photo). Well, the US created the American version of this in recent decades. There’s a massive list of branches.

The branch many of our judges belong to is The Edward Bennett Williams (EBW) Inn of Court. It’s so secretive, they deleted most signs of this branch from their website although they still met.

Now here’s Judge Beryl Howell. She was nominated by President Judge Boasberg, and VP Ketanji Brown Jackson approved of her nomination. Boasberg claims it was her work on Jan 6 that contributed to his choosing her for the American Inns Of Court Professionalism award.

Let me show you the scant meeting info that I found which included the DOJ and Inspector General Horowitz in attendance.

1. The Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court: BOP Custody / Current Status of BOP / Early Release & Reentry: Washington DC, 2/15/24

“Joel Sickler – invited panelist at EBW Inn of Court (February15, 2024, Washington DC). The meeting held in the District of Columbia Court of Judge Amit Mehta. In addition to panelists, approximately 150 lawyers including several Federal District Judges were also present. The panel was presented primarily with Michael Horowitz, DOJ Inspector General and Seth Eichenholtz, Deputy Assistant Attorney General – also featuring Vanessa Rojas, a returning citizen with direct and learned perspective regarding constructive reforms within the Bureau of Prisons.”

Also there was:

“Seth Rosenthal, Chief Deputy Attorney General for Office of AG District of Columbia.”

2. Mathew Bester, 3 years ago in a quote Linkdn post:

“I really enjoyed talking about the latest DOJ developments last week on a great panel.”

Matthew was reposting Brent Gurney’s Post and yes the DOJ was there:

“I want to thank my co-hosts, Erin K. of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Lisa Phelan of Morrison & Foerster LLP, Inn member G. Zachary Terwilliger of Vinson & Elkins and our guest panelists Jim Fredricks of the DOJ Antitrust Division, Tiffany Rider of Axinn, Veltrop & Harkrider LLP and Matthew Bester of Accenture, for a robust and fascinating discussion of the issues.”

3. Yearly gala, I’ll review this later. But the Assistant United States Attorney at U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia replied in a comment. Was he there?

“Great job, Rebecca!”

I’ve seen lawsuits online for this secret org over recusal worries with this private club. I also saw a lawsuit that stated their secrecy is dangerous to democracy.

The top post has been edited, apologies for the difficulties. Make certain to use the modest version.

I found with great difficulties, this list of The Edward Bennett Williams American Inn of Court leaders. In fact I had to search the archives.

Every link there is for members only except the leaders and meetings list. The meeting list is blank tho.

Click around in archive 1 and see for yourself.

As for the Edward Bennett Williams American Inn of Court being invitation only, here’s the evidence.

They also admits that the DOJ is included, which isn’t mentioned in the American Inns Of Court brochure. 😏 I’ll show this next.

McKenzie Invited to Join Edward Bennett Williams American Inn of Court

“Co-Founder Ray D. McKenzie has been admitted to the Edward Bennett Williams American Inn of Court, an invitation-only professional organization devoted to white collar practice. 

As one of the few Inns of Court specializing in white collar criminal prosecution and defense, the Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court’s membership includes members of the federal and local judiciary in the District of Columbia, U.S. Department of Justice officials, and some of the most established defense attorneys in Washington, D.C.  The American Inn of Court is designed to improve the skills, professionalism, and ethics of the bench and the bar. 

McKenzie is a former federal prosecutor, having served the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Criminal Division where, in 2018, he was awarded the U.S. Attorney’s Award for Excellence in Prosecution of Fraud.”

Here’s the American Inns of Court judicial benefits flyer. Judges hobnobbing with other judges, the DOJ and lawyers, just doesn’t seem very ethical to me.

NETWORK WITH AND GAIN ACCESS TO COLLEAGUES

• Meet and interact with federal and state judges on a local, regional, and national level.

• Stay current with the local bar and connected to attorneys in different practice areas, law professors and young lawyers deans, in-house lawyers, and others who do not have a litigation practice.

• The American Inns of Court member directory is a means to reach out to and communicate with other judges on issues of common interest.

• Attend the Celebration of Excellence at the Supreme Court of the United States with justices of the high court as well as jurists and attorneys from across the country.

Auto correct hates me. 😹

Correction:

“Make certain to use the most recent version of my top post.”
Here’s a lawsuit asking for recusal of an American Inns of Court member. Because of its secrecy and it’s acting more like a private social club.

“THE AMERICAN INNS OF COURT ARE UNLIKE TRADITIONAL BAR ASSOCIATIONS BUT ARE SOCIAL CLUBS THAT PROVIDE FOR SECRET EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN FINANCIALLY STRONG ATTORNEYS AND JUDGES

A Social Club, Common Membership Of Judges And Attorneys Representing Parties Creates The Appearance Of Bias.

The American Inns of Court have changed their character as bar associations as they made the membership directory confidential from disclosure for all Inns of Court after sometime in 2008. Their practice of Temple Bar Scholarship and pupilage groups also violated Rule 5-30014 of California Rules of Professional Conduct by allowing ex parte contacts and gifts. The Petition for Writ of Certiorari has been reviewed based on the opinion of the clerks of the Justices, except Justice Gorsuch.

Therefore, contacting the clerks and making gifts to the clerks violate Rule 5-300(c) as they have the power of making recommendations to the Justices.

One major members' benefits, as shown in the video of "American Inns of Court Membership Benefits" that has been posted on the Youtube, Attorney Manuel Sanchez. stated "This is the only organization that I know that the lawyers and judges belong to the trial bar have a chance to meet outside of the courtroom in a social setting and really able to establish the rapport." (A.011)

The business and prosperity of the American Inns of Court is built on the attorneys' benefit to meet the judges in person to establish the "rapport," in violation of Rule 5-300 of California Rules of Professional Conduct.

The American Inns of Court lost all tributes as a bar association further because of the secret membership.

The last publication of a directory for all chapters of the Inns is an archive of the membership of San Francisco Bay Intellectual Property American Inn of Court, made in 2008. (A.055; Request for Recusal in Petition No. 17-
256, A.072-74.)
The Handbook for the William A. Ingram American Inn of Court states:

"The schedule for the monthly meetings (not the dinner meetings) is to gather at 5:30 for socializing and hors d'oeuvres. After administrative announcements, the formal program by a Pupillage Group commences at 6:00 p.m. and ends at 7:00 p.m.

After the program ends, there is further socializing." [Request for Recusal in Petition No. 17-256, A. 146, emphasis added]

Its current meeting schedule states clearly the social function of its Inn meetings:

"Inn meeting, except as noted below, are scheduled on the second Wednesday of each month, with socializing at 5:30 p.m., and the program beginning at 6:00 p.m." (Request for Recusal in No. 17-256, A.050)

These confidential social functions are the characteristic of a social private club. While the American Inns of Court might once have been equivalent or similar to a bar association, they are now more like an exclusive private club. Membership or association in such a private social club with regular private contacts with the judges/justices creates an appearance of bias where attorneys who are members of the Inns appear before judges who are also members or associated with the Inns.”

I’ve seen other stuff around on their secrecy, if you want more. Trust me this group was hard to find stuff on.

Judge Beryl Howell was nominated by the President of the Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court, Judge James Boasberg. It’s required for a member to nominate you. It was voiced by Boasberg that her Jan 6 handling contributed.

The Vice President, Scotus Justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson, gave her written approval.

“Beryl A. Howell has been selected to receive the 2023 American Inns of Court Professionalism Award for the DC Circuit. Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit will present the award during the DC Circuit Judicial Conference.

Chief Judge James E. Boasberg, who nominated Howell for the award, praised Howell’s leadership as chief judge in a term marked by several unexpected events. “Judge Howell’s leadership during the pandemic was extraordinary,” he writes. Howell also “deftly led the court during the surge of more than 1,000 criminal cases filed in this district arising out of the investigation into the attack on the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021.”

“Judge Howell is a brilliant and wise attorney and jurist, as well as an outstanding leader, which has been evident to me since our earliest days working together on the Sentencing Commission,” writes Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson of the Supreme Court of the United States, who wrote in support of Howell’s nomination.”

Supreme Court Justice John Roberts Jr. received a Masters of the Bench award from the American Inn of Courts sister org in the UK. It’s called The Honorable Society Of the Middle Temple. (See photo and first link.)

And Middle Temple does interact with its American counterparts. I’ll show you next post.

Also Soros Open Society does fund fellows at Middle Temple. (See second photo and link.)

Middle Temple, the American Inns of Courts UK counterpart has been to the US.

After visiting the court chambers they had a reception at the British embassy. Later, the American Inn of Courts had moderated panels.

They spent two days at the Institute Of Peace, a radical leftist activist org, paid for by our tax dollars.

I have no idea if there’s any linkage of them to each other since I couldn’t find anything. But they are highly secretive. This would be extremely beneficial to find out.

“In the evening of the 13 September, we went to the Supreme Court for the Calling to the Bench of Justice Neil Gorsuch, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.

Before the official part of the occasion, I was escorted into the splendid Chambers of John G Roberts Jr, the Chief Justice of the United States (one of our Honorary Benchers).

There I met Justice Gorsuch for the first time. I was immediately struck by his warmth, informality and friendliness. This may be something of a surprise to those who focus only on the rather austere conservatism of his jurisprudence.

The three of us were then escorted into the magnificent courtroom where our group and others were already assembled. Short speeches of welcome were made by the Chief Justice and myself. Justice Gorsuch was then Called to the Bench by Master Maura McGowan. After a gracious and amusing response by Justice Gorsuch, we moved to the East and West Conference Rooms for a reception and then went into the Hall for dinner.

On the 14 September and 15 September, we had two full days of discussions with American counterparts at the US Institute of Peace, a splendid modern conference venue.

The topics on the first day were Human Rights in the Age of Terrorism (UK moderator Master Chantal-Aimee
Doerries, UK speaker Master Neil Garnham, UK Panellists Master Judith Farbey and Master McGowan); Restrictions on Media Communications in the Interests of Truth or Privacy (UK moderator Master Christopher Clarke, UK speaker Adam Speker, UK panellists Master Anthony Smith and John Stables); and Attorney-Client Privilege (UK speaker Master Robert-Jan Temmink, UK panellists Master Stephen Stewart and Master George Leggatt).”

“At the end of the first day of the conference, we were treated to a magnificent reception at the British Embassy generously hosted by the UK Ambassador, Sir Kim Darroch. Sir Kim had spent the day visiting Florida following the recent floods. But he was back in time for our reception and made a warm and witty speech.
Other guests included many of the great and good of the political and legal world of Washington.

The topics on the second day were International and Comparative Law as an Appropriate Topic for Courts (UK speaker Master Jonathan Mance, UK panellists Master Fergus Randolph and Master Jeffrey Golden); and Climate Change and the Law (UK moderator Master Edward Faulks and UK speaker Master Robert Camwath).

The US moderators, speakers and panellists were an extraordinarily distinguished group of lawyers and academics. They contributed to lively and stimulating discussions on each of the topics as did all of our participants. I have not named the US participants simply because they will not be known to the readers of The Middle Templar.”

This is The Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court meeting that I found out the most on. And I only found three total.

“The Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court holds monthly programs on a range of relevant topics for Inn members, who are both white-collar defense lawyers and prosecutors, and including D.C. federal trial and appellate judges.”

“Joel Sickler – invited panelist at EBW Inn of Court (February15, 2024, Washington DC). The meeting held in the District of Columbia Court of Judge Amit Mehta. In addition to panelists, approximately 150 lawyers including several Federal District Judges were also present. The panel was presented primarily with Michael Horowitz, DOJ Inspector General and Seth Eichenholtz, Deputy Assistant Attorney General – also featuring Vanessa Rojas, a returning citizen with direct and learned perspective regarding constructive reforms within the Bureau of Prisons.”

“Moderators: Seth Rosenthal; Addy Schmitt – Participants: Seth Eichenholtz; Michael Horowitz; Vanesa Rojas; Joel Sickler – (Left to Right): Michael E. Horowitz, Inspector General DOJ; Addy Schmitt, Managing Partner Harris, St. Laurent & Wechsler LLP; Joel Sickler, Founder of Justice Advocacy Group LLC; Vanesa Rojas, Formerly Incarcerated Rising Scholar, Palomar College; Seth Eichenholtz, Senior Counsel to Deputy Attorney General at DOJ; and Seth Rosenthal, Chief Deputy Attorney General for Office of AG District of Columbia.”

You can read more if you like, these were just a few excerpts.

Here’s a second post on the Feb 2024 EBW Inn of Court meeting, in case there’s any extra info to be gleaned from the comments etc. I don’t think so.

This here is from a EBW Inn of Court panel discussion from three years ago. The DOJ was here that day too.

Matthew works at Accenture which had a US contract cancelled by Doge. Accenture deals with Publicis Group, and utilizes DEI and sustainability.

The (Publicis) Groupe took part in the launch of the World Economic Forum, GARM (Global Alliance for Responsible Media). Which was costing Elon ad revenue.

Publicis also handles WEF lodging etc type of stuff for its Davos meeting. And Publicis is partnered with Newsguard.

Mathew Bester:

“I really enjoyed talking about the latest DOJ developments last week on a great panel.”

Brent Gurney:

“It was a pleasure to co-host the EBW Inn of Court panel discussion on criminal prosecutions of what are sometimes called “no-poach” agreements for violations of the antitrust laws. In 2016, the Department of Justice warned that it would begin bringing criminal prosecutions. And then, after a wait of several years, it started doing just that. A number of cases are pending. I want to thank my co-hosts, Erin K. of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Lisa Phelan of Morrison & Foerster LLP, Inn member G. Zachary Terwilliger of Vinson & Elkins and our guest panelists Jim Fredricks of the DOJ Antitrust Division, Tiffany Rider of Axinn, Veltrop & Harkrider LLP and Matthew Bester of Accenture, for a robust and fascinating discussion of the issues.”

Here’s the last and third meeting that I have from many years of monthly meetings. If you find some more members or especially meeting minutes, message me.

Rebecca Broady:

“Thanks to Laurel Loomis Rimon, Keisha N. Stanford and Jenner & Block for hosting our EBW Inn of Court End of Year event! After a year of serving as the Inn "administrator" and sending out SO MANY emails, it was fun to be able to kick back and schmooze!”

Now it’s time for my thoughts on this. We are looking at SCOTUS involvement, DC district courts, DOJ, and prosecutors.

These courts affect our entire country. This isn’t like some rinky dink branch in a Florida suburb.

I don’t think these high courts should be involved in anything secret. The stench of enablement is overwhelming. Especially when you have leftists fighting everything Trump as their Officers.

I think the Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court should be disbanded. And all DC justices barred from such activities.Image

PS, go to the American Inns of Court site and search for the Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court in their little search box. Its group number is 30072, I’ll wait.

Trust me, I was even in their archives and for many subdomains too.

(They’ll probably add it back if they aren’t totally crazy.)

Anyways I’ll even provide the link. 🦁 💪🏻

Since I have folks saying that they or relatives are members, and It’s no big deal….

Can you get me the member list for the Edward Bennett Williams Inn of Court? ID 30072

And I’d like the meeting minutes and any video or photos too please. And any video or photos of the appetizer recreation time too.

All I want is transparency in DC.

Thanks!
Just throwing this here. Judge James Boasberg is Skull and Bones.
Here’s just a little update on why this bothers me so much. It includes fact checker info also. I’ve also acquired Judge Boasbergs nomination document from 2002.

Folks, stay with me! I’ve been working hard! I just linked Obama to the 2020 election and January 6th.

The same goes for the state dept linked orgs data republican has been talking about.

I’m gonna push this out before my censorship work.
Whew! I’m really digging in here folks.

There were lots of activists monitoring Jan 6th in DC. On site and electronically.

Global too.
Some of my related Jan 6 work on the Backfire method was deleted from X.

Ever hear of the Backfire method? It’s when they egg other folks on at a riot.

“Be ready to harness "backfire" as a movement.

- using government repression, non-state violence and other outsized control vs demonstrators to move those watching to engage on our behalf, and to mobilize the observers against the authorities and turn sympathies towards democracy defenders.”

Sound familiar?Image

🔥🔥🔥Massively Huge! Rodney Joffe, from the Trump Russia Alfa Bank scandal, served under the entire first Trump administration! So this also means that he worked under DHS CISA during the 2020 election!

*This is a do over because of new information.

It appears that I have documents for all of 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 showing that Rodney Joffe served on the Presidents National Security Telecommunications
Advisory Committee (NSTAC). Which is under DHS CISA.

Good lord, how did this happen? This is just totally unbelievable!

Anywho, I’ll be posting every single years docs, going backwards.

🔥🔥🔥Holy Cow! John Brennan is linked to global disinfo and anti conservative orgs! You see, the Intelligence Studies Project (ISP) that John Brennan and two other ex CIA belonged to was involved in the Global Disinformation Index (GDI) thru the Global Disinformation Lab (GDIL). It’s also affiliated with the illiberalism Studies Program.

Plus, I have a massive surprise at the end!

Remember the Texas National Security Network? It’s the entire University Of Texas state wide campus’s and its orgs. They all work together interchangeably.

Part of this Network is the LBJ School of Public Affairs. LBJ is where ex CIA John Brennan, Paul Pope, and Stephen Slick run the Intelligence Studies Program.

Both Global Disinformation Lab cofounders (Ryan Williams and Kiril Avramov) are from LBJ.

Ryan Williams headed up the Global Disinformation Labs Project Evergreen. Where they used a Policy Research Project team from the LBJ School of Public Affairs to write a database of global policy responses to disinformation.

Brennan, Pope, and Slicks Intelligence Studies Project is at LJB and often sponsored events for the Global Disinformation Lab. Just one big happy family.

The Global Disinformation Lab proclaimed an outright partnership with the Global Disinformation Index. And also worked with each other on a Disinformation Risk Assessment.

Here are the Global Disinformation Labs affiliates.

-illiberalism Studies Program
-Intelligence Studies Project
-Strauss center
-Clements center
-Center for European Studies university Texas Austin
-Center for Russian, Eastern European and Eurasian Studies (CREEES)

* Intelligence Studies Project is ran By Strauss and Clements at LBJ.

Biden’s State department worked with them too. Liz Allen the Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public was their go to.

“Really appreciate US Dept of States efforts in working to understand and countering mis- and disinformation. Looking forward to jointly collaborating on these efforts!”

♦️The Illiberalism Studies Program:

“Addresses questions related to democratic backlash, the spread of authoritarianism, post-liberalism, the far right, populism and nationalism.”

“Adherents of illiberalism argue that, in the face of a liberalism that has “gone too far,” it is time to reassert the rights of the collective, or of an alleged silent majority, by restoring national sovereignty in various spheres: politically, by rejecting supranational and multilateral institutions in favor of the nation-state and preferring a strong leader.”

Plus I have a 110 page report where they compare republican Christians to Russians:

“Marlene Laruelle explores the parallel between US Christian nationalism and the Russian case of a blending of the Russian Orthodox Church with the political language of the Putin regime.

♦️Now the Global Disinformation Lab works on more than disinfo.

They work with the Army Cyber Institute of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to the tune of $250,000. This also involves Threatcasting which I have previously discussed during my CTI League files exposé. I don’t trust this disinfo lab in this arena.

They also run Project Tearline, where the military even gave it its own website. Tearline.mil

♦️ Now for even more big news! John Brennan was involved in a US Election LBJ Policy Research Project headed by Stephan Slick.

This also involved Chris Krebs, Michael Daniel, Nick Rasmussen, & more.

I have this below mentioned 243 page report and Brennan talks Russiagate outta the wazoo. I think a lot of X folks in the Spygate corner would be extremely interested in this.

“Working in collaboration with Nicholas Rasmussen, an Intelligence Studies Project Senior Fellow who serves as the director of the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism, Slick & his students will draft a final report to counterparts at Office of the DNI that includes recommendations to defend against future attempts to influence elections.

Let’s begin with sourcing the affiliates to the University Of Texas - Austin’s Global Disinformation Lab ( GDIL).

-illiberalism Studies Program
-Intelligence Studies Project
-Strauss center
-Clements center
-Center for European Studies university Texas Austin
-Center for Russian, Eastern European and Eurasian Studies (CREEES)

Intelligence Studies Project (ISP) is at LBJ, and is ran by Strauss and Clements.

If you look under the referenced thread in my top post, you will find sourcing for Brennan, Pope, and Slick being at ISP. And for Strauss and Clements running it.

Next, lemme provide a few pieces of evidence on the Global Disinformation Lab (GDIL) being partnered with the Global Disinformation Index (GDI).

♦️ Contract between GDIL and GDI

a. Compilation of media list and associated contact information for domain outreach, to the reasonable satisfaction of GDI.

b. Development of a keyword list which meets GDI’s reasonable standards in capturing adversarial
narratives in the United States of America.

c. Cleaning and anonymisation of all content for media domain review.

d. Review of at least 70 domains based on methodology and providing all relevant data entry for the
operations and content reviews, including all quantitative scores and qualitative notes for each domain that has been reviewed.

e. A summary of the key findings and trends for the media market in English (not to exceed 30 pages).

f. Organisation of an event and co-production of associated collateral activities for the public launch of the study.

🔥🔥🔥Breaking! War on the Rocks (WOTR) has some additional amazing partnerships and connections. Even leading to ex CIA staffers John Brennan, Paul Pope, Stephen Slick, and David Petraeus!

After Trumps 2016 win, John Brennan didn’t just disappear into TV land. No, he stayed involved with the vast network of the University of Texas, his Alma mater. Where a SOCOM individual, identified as a British asset, once wrote the Global Disinformation Index. Yeah you are about to see the University of Texas quite differently.

The above mentioned British asset, according to a whistleblower, was told by Obama to prevent Trump from winning again.

Where War On The Rocks comes in, is the Texas National Security Network and its Texas National Security Review.

The Texas National Security Network is vast and is essentially at least 22 entities or more enveloping the University of Texas Campus’s and orgs.

A few noteworthy examples:

- Intelligence Studies Project
- Strauss Center
- Clements Center
- University of Texas, Austin
- Texas National Security Review (WOTR)
- Etc

* University of Texas is Brennans Alma mater.

Ryan Evans (WOTR):

“As Founder and Editor-in-Chief of War on the Rocks, Ryan Evans summarizes, “think of us as the Washington-based action arm of the Texas National Security Network.”

Very interesting 🤔

♦️WOTR series part 2

War on the Rocks is partnered with the Texas National Security network to create the Texas National security Review.

In fact, the Texas National Security Network flat out CLAIMS TO SPONSOR War On The Rocks!

So, who all works with Ryan Evans of War On The Rocks at the Texas National Security Review?

- Ryan Evans (WOTR)

- David Petraeus ex CIA Dir

- James G. Stavridis, admiral

- Kathleen Hicks, senior vice president, Henry A. Kissinger Chair, and dir of the International Security Program at CSIS

- David shed, Defense Intelligence Enterprise workforce

Recall the Intelligence Studies Project is part of the Texas National Security Network. Here’s some of the staff at the Intelligence Studies Project:

- John Brennan ex cia
- Paul Pope ex cia
- Stephen Slick ex CIA

“Brennan is a Senior Advisor to the University’s Intelligence Studies Project (ISP) – a novel partnership between UT’s Clements Center for National Security and Robert S. Strauss Center for International Security and Law.”

(Texas National Security Network is actually co-directed by the Clements Center and Strauss Center.)

4. Interesting side notes - John Brennan is a senior advisor at the International Institute of Strategic Studies headquartered in LONDON! Which is ran by the CLEMENTS and STRAUSS CENTERS!

Many of the War On The Rocks staff are from Kings College in London!

Ryan Evan’s was Kings College and OPCON/TACON to the British-led Task Force Helmand.

5. Texas Security Network leaders:

- Stephen Slick, Dir Intelligence Studies Project - CIA

- Bobby Chesney, Dir Strauss Center

- William Inboden
Executive Director - Clements Center

5. UT Austin’s Intelligence Studies Project and the Texas National Security Network announce the inaugural Texas Intelligence Academy (TIA), an intensive academic.

Students selected for the first TIA cohort will be housed in the District of Columbia and study at the UT System’s Archer Center one block from the White House.

6. So you can see the commingling here’s an event held at the University of Texas at Austin.

“Paul (Pope) is joined by John Brennan, former CIA director, retired Adm. William McRaven, former commander of the Special Operations Command, Farah Pandith, author and former National Security Council and State Department official, and Nicholas Rasmussen, former National Counterterrorism Center director. This talk took place at the University of Texas at Austin and was sponsored by the Intelligence Studies Project, the LBJ School of Public Affairs, the Robert Strauss Center for International Security and Law, and the Clements Center for National Security.”

All facts to be sourced.Image

To begin, I’m going to cross reference Part One which involves the War On The Rocks spinoff, Breakrock Knowledge Inc.
Let’s begin with the Texas National Security Network (TNSN) which sponsors War On The Rocks (WOTH). WOTR is also partnered with the Texas National Security Review.

It prioritizes accessibility for national security professionals.

♦️TNSN operates an array of programs intended to support security-relevant research.

These include:

“THE TEXAS NATIONAL SECURITY REVIEW

The Texas National Security Review (“TNSR”) will be a path-breaking journal launching later this year. It will publish peer-reviewed policy-relevant scholarship that is timely, draws on a variety of disciplines, and prioritizes accessibility for national security professionals. It is produced in close partnership with the influential foreign and defense policy blog War on the Rocks, which the Network sponsors.”

🔥🔥🔥Breaking! War on The Rocks (WOTR) has a very interesting sister org, created in 2022, called Breakrock Knowledge Inc! They claim that they have worked for the US Air Force as a Defense Dept contractor. And have had at least two ex CIA working there.

Part 1

(Recall, that WOTR were the ones who doxed the kind and sweet Cynical Publias.)

It’s headed by Ryan Evans and cofounded by Dr. Sae Schatz, a prev director of the US Defense Department's Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) program.

A third cofounder is Rick Batka. As a technical CTO and co-founder of Bedrock Learning he raised $1.15M in seed funding and architected cloud infrastructure and SDKs that scale to millions of learners while achieving SOC 2 Type II and NIST 800-171 accreditation in support of a $2M government contract.

Its director is ex CIA David Priess. Who was happy to see ex CIA, Rebecca Lewis, join their ranks. David Preiss is also a Hayden Center Senior Fellow.

Also there is Lauren Bedula, a managing director at Beacon Global Strategies. I’ve attached a 🧵, so you can see Beacon Global Strategies CIA connections.

This org is also staffed by many prev Defense Dept folks, and I’ll show those when I source.

As you know, I just post the facts that anyone can find online. So let’s continue.

In 2022 it was founded as Bedrock Learning, Inc “as a spin-off of War on the Rocks (Metamorphic Media) and is headquartered in Washington, DC”. The name was changed to Breakout Knowledge inc in 2024.

Bedrock claims they are on a, “Path to Leading the Race for AI Dominance.” Utilize war gaming, and “offers a social network that centers learning through the provision of courses, serious games, and open source intelligence streams”.

“By harnessing the power of our social network, we make it possible for individuals and organizations to not only navigate, but also illuminate the complexities of the modern world — to garner, earn, and generate knowledge. And, in doing so, create a safer and more prosperous world.”

Bedrock Privacy Policy:

“At Bedrock Learning, Inc. (“Bedrock”), we respect your privacy. We recognize your need for appropriate protection and management of any personally identifiable information..”

There’s two sources here on David Priess, ex CIA, working at Bedrock. One from its earlier Bedrock Learing Inc days and another from its later Bedrock Knowledge inc days.

♦️Bedrock Learing Inc

“David Priess is Director of Intelligence at Bedrock Learning, Inc. and a Senior Fellow at the Michael V. Hayden Center for Intelligence, Policy, and International Security. He served during the Clinton and Bush 43 administrations as a CIA officer and has written two books: “The President’s Book of Secrets,” about the top-secret President’s Daily Brief, and "How To Get Rid of a President," describing the ways American presidents have left office.”

Priess formerly worked as an intelligence officer, manager, and daily intelligence briefer for the CIA and had previously worked as a desk officer in the State Department's Near East Bureau. Currently, he is the Director of Intelligence for Bedrock Knowledge, Inc. and is a frequent commentator on national security issues both on television and in print.”

🔥🔥🔥Maybe because Mamdani’s wife, Rama Duwaji, is linked to Hamas thru Qatar? Both Mamdanis wife, and his mother, dealt with Hamas linked Qatar.

♦️Lemme splain Lucy. Rama, of Qatar, her younger years, a deep mystery no more:

Both Rama Duwaji and Mamdanis mother, Mira Nair, dealt with Hamas linked Qatar.

Rama lived in Qatar while at VCU Qatar before transferring to its Richmond campus (Virginian Commonwealth University's School of the Arts). Then worked between Washington DC and Qatar for a while.

VCU Richmond being home to a CIA course. Dunno if anything, but interesting.

Galfriend also appeared on the Bill Kristol and Sally Longwell’s Bulwark podcast.

Rama also has UK connections and has worked with a variety of clients, most notably the BBC, Apple, Spotify, VICE and the Tate Modern. She has also taught workshops on both illustration and animation alongside It’s Nice That in 2021. 

How did she manage to work with the #1 British propaganda outlet (BBC)?

Rama was a Tasmeem Student Attendee (Tasmeem is a design conference held in Qatar). She has also taught and coordinated workshops at Tasmeem Design Biennial in Qatar and has worked on illustrating and designing publications with prestigious institutions like Tate Collective, Institute De Monde Árabe and Cartier.

Rama illustrated for some videos. Mamdanis mother, Mira, did films. 🤔

Mira Nairs Qatar work was funded in part by the far leftist Ford Foundation. And Qatar also bankrolled over a decade worth of films directed by Zohran Mamdani’s mom.

Photo #1 a self portrait by Rama at age 21.

I’ll post all my deep dive data below, enjoy the nuggets.Image

Rama Duwaji was born in Texas (Houston) and moved to Dubai, United Arab Emirates when she was nine years old. She attended VCUarts’ Qatar for a year before transferring to Richmond where she graduated with a communication arts degree in 2019.

Apologies on the quote that Rama worked between DC and Qatar, it was actually Dubai. Tho she did work thru Qatar for Tasmeem. Her clients listed depend on the specific article.

“Her work is often published in the UK's Galdem online magazine.”

“Rama Duwaji is a Syrian illustrator and designer with a BFA in Communication Arts, based between Dubai and Washington, DC. 

Clients include: Cartier, MILLE world, Khaleejesque Magazine, Oloom Magazine, Sharaf Studio”

“Forever in solidarity with the black community and everyone out there protesting against the oppressive system they call law enforcement. it's so important to start within our own communities/families and continue to question and confront the anti-black sentiments in the Middle East and not chalk it up as a western thing!! My insta stories haven't been working for some reason (??) so swipe to see some important posts that have been on other peoples stories over the past few days #blacklivesmatter”
