Fauci sought a "preemptive pardon" before leaving office.
Scientists questioning the natural origin theory were systematically smeared.
Intelligence assessments were altered to support the preferred narrative.
Truth became a casualty of bureaucratic self-preservation.
When intelligence agencies become political actors, accountability vanishes.
We've seen this pattern throughout history – from the Church Committee revelations to the Iraq WMD intelligence failure.
The consequences? Policy disasters and eroded public trust.
The resistance to Trump goes beyond isolated incidents:
"They are very unwilling to come to a view or express an opinion on some things, but in other cases, they quickly come to assumptions without evidence."
This pattern affects critical security decisions.
A clear example:
When Trump declared Tren Aragua gang an "incursion" justifying deportations, officials leaked claims that no Venezuela connection existed.
But they deliberately concealed FBI evidence confirming that exact relationship.
The pattern extends throughout the system:
Intelligence briefings to Congress often contained information "already read about in the newspaper."
Important security decisions undermined through selective leaks.
A systematic effort against elected leadership.
Meanwhile, Gabbard discovered resources being diverted:
Intelligence analysts required to spend half their workday on DEI initiatives to get promotions.
$170 million allocated to DEI programs she's now redirecting toward security priorities.
One particularly concerning example:
An NSA chat group discussing explicit sexual content operated for over two years.
When whistleblowers reported it, they were silenced by DEI policies.
"Filed a written report with evidence...and basically told, 'S
The evidence points to a consistent pattern:
A government operating within the government.
Intelligence manipulated for partisan purposes.
Whistleblowers silenced.
Presidential policies systematically undermined.
As Gabbard said: "They are actually undermining our democracy."
The ultimate insight from Gabbard's revelations?
Our national security apparatus requires a complete cultural reset.
As she put it: "This speaks to the huge culture shift, the mindset shift that has to take place here."
A return to mission, accountability, and public service.
