1) You guys know the background.  You know the context. You know the history.  You know all the nuances and Machiavellian manipulations that have brought us to this very specific moment. Image
2) Now, you are President Donald Trump and you are in a conversation with Vladimir Putin; a geopolitical ‘adversary’ whose current status was created by the same intelligence system operators that created your defined ‘enemy’ status within your own country.  You and Putin were both targeted by the same intelligence system, the CIA.Image
Image
3) Vladimir Putin does not view Americans as his enemy. Vladimir Putin views the CIA as his enemy.

President Putin is essentially ambivalent to your targeted position, but defines his adversary as your Central Intelligence Agency.  

You want to cut the Gordian knot, change the geopolitical world, create a strategic alignment; but to do that you need Putin to accept you do not view him as the enemy.  You also need to prove you have control over the apparatus he views as a threat. 

How do you prove you have control over the agency?Image
4) Perhaps President Trump instructs the CIA to send one public message.  A message that: #1) outlines the CIA’s dual targeting of Trump and Putin; #2) that simultaneously proves your control over the CIA silo.

Was this the motive for the timing of the message from CIA Director John Ratcliffe?Image
5) As a singular datapoint a message to Putin through the CIA proving control sounds crazy.

However, when added to the timeline and overlaying even more events today, its not so crazy.

After the House sent the BBB to the Senate, President Trump went completely quiet about Russia-Ukraine conflict.  However, as soon as the Big Beautiful Bill was completed, President Trump notes a call with President Putin.Image
6) On the other side of the dynamic, Vladimir Putin said this:

7) Let’s look at the timeline with new datapoints to add.

* President Trump said publicly he had no prior knowledge of the Ukraine drone attack against Russia’s long-range bomber fleet.

*President Trump then held a phone call with Vladimir Putin to affirm his lack of forewarning.

*President Trump then holds another phone call with Putin to discuss the Iran nuclear issues.

*President Trump then publicly says at the G7 in Canada, it was a big mistake to take Russia out of the G8; further saying -repeatedly- that sanctions hurt both sides, and there is a cost to sanctions.

*President Trump then bombs the Iranian nuclear facilities; and two days later Putin says there is no doubt in his mind that President Trump is committed to peace.

*The U.S. then delays sending additional patriot missiles to Ukraine.

*Yesterday the U.S. says the 2016 predicate for removing Russian officials from the USA was based on fraud within the intelligence community, per CIA Director John Ratcliffe.

*Today, after the BBB bill exits the Senate and is through the rules committee in the House – looking like a certain vote to approve; and after the CIA public statement outlining the false case against Russian diplomats, President Trump holds another phone call with Vladimir Putin.

If the CIA announcement was the ‘one ping‘ message to Putin proving control, it would make sense Putin and Trump would speak immediately thereafter.

This timeline does not appear to be coincidental.

A couple of points needed for context as the Michael Atkinson transcript is released.

(1) Prior to becoming Inspector General for the Intelligence Community (ICIG), Michael Atkinson was legal counsel to the office of the AAG at the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD).

(2) Atkinson was legal counsel to AAG Mary McCord, when the Carter Page FISA was submitted in Oct '16.

(3) The Legal Counsel for the DOJ-NSD is responsible for oversight of all of the FISA applications. Atkinson was responsible for legal review, when McCord submitted the Title-1 warrant application.

(4) Atkinson then left the DOJ-NSD and took a position as ICIG

(5) Mary McCord then left the DOJ and went to work for Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler on the joint House impeachment comittee.

(6) When ICIG Atkinson took the CIA complaint from Eric Ciaramella (working at the National Intelligence Council), and engaged with Congress, he was essentially back collaborating with his former colleague, Mary McCord.

(7) Atkinson doesn't have clean hands in this. He is not a neutral figure. He was an enabler for the false impeachment accusation, just as he was an enabler for the falsely constructed FISA application.Image

1. Unlike most of your followers, I know how to research the claims you are making and see the defamatory lies within them. @ReOpenChris @TuckerCarlson

2. "Alaska" - Franklin Graham hosts "Marriage Encounter" events in Alaska, near his own small property (less than a quarter acre), for military husbands and wives who are in desperate need of marital support, before the marriage collapses.

It is not an "end times" bunker complex. It is cabins in a remote area where the marriage encounter workshops take place.

The entire area does not have municipal electricity. They use generators for power. The 90,000 gal above ground diesel fuel is brought in to power these generators. The remote area is only habitable in summer. It is a Samaritans Purse mission.

U.S. senators (mostly) write foreign aid policy, rules and regulations thereby creating the financing mechanisms to transmit U.S. funds. 

Those same senators then received a portion of the laundered funds back through their various “institutes” and business connections to the foreign government offices. Everyone in DC knows the gig.

Example: Ukraine laundry to Biden, Haiti laundry to Clinton, Iran laundry to Obama.

The U.S. State Dept. served as a distribution network for the authorization of the money laundering by granting DC conflict waivers, approvals for financing (McCain Institute, Clinton Global Initiative etc), and permission slips for the payment of foreign money.  

The officials within the State Dept. take a cut of the overall payments through a system of “indulgence fees”, commissions, junkets, gifts and expense account payments to those with political oversight.

If anyone gets too close to revealing the process they become a target of the apparatus. 

President Trump was considered a threat to this process. 

In reality all of the U.S. Senators (both parties) on the Foreign Relations Committee understand what is going on and/or are participating in a process for receiving taxpayer money and contributions from foreign governments. [See Bob Menendez]

A “Codel” is a congressional delegation that takes trips to work out the payments terms/conditions of any changes in graft financing. 

On the right the McCain Institute was/is one of the obvious examples of the financing network. [That is the primary reason why Cindy McCain was such an outspoken critic of President Trump.] On the left you see the Clinton Global Initiative, same/same.

This is why Senators spend $20 million on a campaign to earn a job paying $350k/year. 

The “institutes” is where the real foreign money comes in; billions paid by governments like China, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Ukraine, etc. etc.  There are trillions at stake.

The current nation of focus is the Ukraine laundry operation. The U.S. intelligence services, including CIA operations in USAID, have historically been the bagmen. That's why they consider Gabbard as a threat.Image

The Senate Foreign Affairs Committee (SFAC) is structurally designed to sell U.S. foreign policy.  We all know the game of multinational corporations positioning their investment assets in various countries based on the expectation of U.S. foreign policy to support those investments.  It is inside this network of long-established relationships that all of the various quid-pro-quos originate.

The Senate chamber as an institution is where most of the generational level corruption emanates; when the 17th amendment was created, this was the function and purpose for the constitutional change as organized by banking interests.  In the decades since inception, the corruption within the upper chamber has become systemic.  The Senate became entirely predicated on having greater power within the legislative branch.

Inside this institutional system, each Senate committee has an operational objective in alignment with the interests of the DC business.  The Senate is detached from any operational function that would be considered representative of the American voter.  The Senate Intel Committee supports the weaponized intelligence state. The Senate Finance and Banking committee supports the interests of big banks, who then reward the committee members.  The Senate Judiciary Committee is structured to lean into the corruption needed in the Judicial branch, by controlling appointments and nominations.  And so it goes, and so it goes.

Every member on the SFAC uses their position for personal and familial gain.  For their specific expertise, the SFAC funding mechanism is by foreign governments and multinational corporations with foreign policy interests. It’s what they do. 

Menendez is charged with the crime of doing what the Senate Foreign Affairs committee does; participate in bribery and corruption – although the pretending term is “lobbying.”

Quit pretending.

In April 2024, 165 Democrats voted for a foreign aid package brought to the floor by Republican Speaker Mike Johnson.  The measure included $26 billion more for Israel, $61 billion more for Ukraine and around $10 billion for Taiwan.   151 Republicans voted to support the aid bill.

There is almost $100 billion in total foreign aid and approximately $0 to secure the southern U.S. border. 

This is a “Republican” bill, that passed with Democrats, not Republicans.  The ideological UniParty is very real in Washington DC, and this vote was entirely against the wishes of most Americans.

politico.com/live-updates/2…

It’s really not just Mike Johnson, the root of the issue is much deeper than just corrupt and detached Republican leadership.  The issue extends to every aspect of life and politics in Washington DC.  Every member is participating in a process to give money to other countries, regardless of whether the American voter wants that to happen or not.

There is a complete collapse of the governmental structure of the United States as it pertains to representative government.  The concept of representative government is completely gone, not even considered any longer amid the professional political class from both wings of the UniParty vulture.

I have no idea how this structural collapse can be fixed.  There doesn’t seem to be any entity willing to stop the nonsense as it relates to financial systems and U.S. foreign aid.

We are in an abusive relationship with our government. There really is no other way to look at it.Image

I really don't want to go back into this weird thing again, but I will tell you nothing about it added up six years ago.

When the Floyd/Chauvin thing erupted this weird "counterfeit money" thing was at the core of it.

When Minneapolis burned, a large number of the businesses torched were cash businesses that seemed to be connected, somehow.

With the recent reports of suitcases of cash shipped out of Minneapolis, y'all might want to go back and revisit. It wasn't a one-off then. I don't know what it all adds up to, but something very unseemly. 👇

Interesting. 🤔 Keep in mind this is 2019, Epstein texting Rep, Democratic member of Congress, Del. Stacey Plaskett of the U.S. Virgin Islands, shortly before Epstein 'killed himself'...

Also Interesting... in 2019: JPMorgan Chase notified the Treasury Department of more than $1 billion in transactions related to “human trafficking” by Jeffrey Epstein dating back 16 years after the notorious sex predator killed himself in 2019, a lawyer for the U.S. Virgin Islands told a federal judge at a hearing.

“Epstein’s entire business with JPMorgan and JPMorgan’s entire business with Epstein was human trafficking,” Mimi Liu, an attorney for the Virgin Islands, told Judge Jed Rakoff in U.S. District Court in Manhattan on Thursday, according to a transcript reviewed by CNBC.

On April 18, 2023, Elon Musk meets Linda Yaccarino for the first time.

April 26, Elon Musk meets Chuck ‘six-ways-to-sunday’ Schumer. “We talked about the future,” Musk told reporters after exiting the meeting that lasted about an hour. {link 1}

April 28, Attorney General of USVI triggers subpoena to Musk about Epstein. {link 2}

First weeks of May, USVI investigators trying to serve Epstein subpoena on Musk.

May 12, Musk hires DEI advocate Linda Yaccarino as Twitter CEO.

Early December 2022, USVI Attorney General Denise George announced a $105 million settlement with the estate of Jeffrey Epstein [link 1]. 

The USVI case against Epstein was based on anti-criminal enterprise, sex trafficking, child exploitation and fraud laws of the Virgin Islands.  We can assume AG George gained a lot of information in the discovery phase deep inside the Epstein finances that ultimately led to the settlement.

Following the settlement with the estate of Epstein, Attorney General George now announces a lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase for “knowingly” enabling the sex trafficking operation of Jeffrey Epstein. 

AG George is specifically saying JPMorgan Chase was fully aware of what Epstein was doing.
