1. OK, here's my WHY FLYNN LIED thread.
2. First, you have to remember the frenzied and toxic media stew in January '17. Any contact with Russians was proof of collusion with Russians.

That was the media narrative.

1. Republicans are going bananas. Democrats, led by senate intel vice-chairman Mark Warner are having fits and meltdowns. 

All of it because President Trump announced the appointment of Bill Pulte to replace Tulsi Gabbard at the end of the month as Acting DNI.

To make the issues even better, Democrats are now threatening to block FISA-702 reauthorization and stop the warrantless surveillance of American citizens unless Pulte’s appointment is withdrawn. 

Yes, read that again slowly if needed – it’s perfect.Image
2. She couldn't get FISA reauthorization stopped by confronting congress, but she can get FISA reauthorization stopped by giving congress an alternative to herself. It's remarkable. Stunning.

..."Warner, who’s been critical in building Democratic support for a bipartisan deal to extend FISA Section 702, made clear to Thune that all options are on the table to reverse what Democrats see as a dangerous Trump pick to lead ODNI. Pulte, who currently leads the Federal Housing Finance Agency, has no national security experience and has used his existing role to exact revenge on Trump’s political foes.

From Warner’s perspective, it’s impossible to convince enough Democrats to support a reauthorization of Section 702 when Pulte would be the one overseeing the program. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has also privately told senators that the Pulte appointment makes passing a FISA deal much more difficult."....

3. Making the issue even more wonderful, the former Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee is the primary strategist behind confronting the corrupt IC mechanisms that have always been facilitated by the same senate committee now having fits.

Seriously folks, you cannot make this stuff up.

If you think that Rubio and Tulsi are not the key voices in this appointment dynamic, you just are not paying attention to the snark from the National Security Advisor.

All those smiles and giggles are not just because they enjoy their jobs, but also because they understand the politics much better than people fathom.

This is a 14-year-senator, former Chairman of the SSCI and Gang-of-Eight member. Let's just say, he knows the gig.Image

I don't disagree with this perspective. However, did you ever consider this is part of geopolitically dissolving the 5-eyes dependencies?
Expand your thinking to include The Abraham Accords.

Remember this in Saudi Arabia? Image

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

Source for what is to follow:

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
