Former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes appears on Fox News to discuss the release of Twitter File #14 which was centered around the legislative branch attempting to censor his “Nunes Memo.” {Direct Rumble Link Here}
The essence of Twitter File #14 was how the Senate Intelligence Committee, senators Feinstein (D-CA) and Warner (D-VA) along with House Intel Committee Adam Schiff (D-CA) pressured Twitter to remove content that supported the assertions of HPSCI Chairman Devin Nunes. WATCH:
[Twitter File #14 HERE]
Essentially, as Taibbi is pointing out, various DC politicians were working feverishly in early 2018 to maintain the fraudulent narrative around the Trump-Russia investigation.
Why is this timeline important, because retention of the fraudulent Trump-Russia narrative was critical to support the predicate of the Robert Mueller (Andrew Weissmann) Special Counsel. As Taibbi notes, “On January 18th, 2018, Republican Devin Nunes submitted a classified memo to the House Intel Committee detailing abuses by the FBI in obtaining FISA surveillance authority against Trump-connected figures, including the crucial role played by the infamous “Steele Dossier.” The entire DC apparatus was going bananas about the Nunes memo because it undermined the predicate assumptions of the Trump-Russia probe.
The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) was the specific stakeholder institution intent on retaining the Trump-Russia fraud, because the SSCI was one of the institutions who helped construct it. Again Taibbi, “On January 23rd, 2018, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA) published an open letter saying the hashtag [#ReleaseTheMemo] “gained the immediate attention and assistance of social media accounts linked to Russian influence operations.” The intelligence community politicians were furious that various Twitter accounts were tearing apart their precious, and false, story.
Into this mix comes the work of former Dianne Feinstein staffer Dan Jones who was funding various entities like “Hamilton 68” to push propaganda. “Feinstein, Schiff, Blumenthal, and media members all pointed to the same source: the Hamilton 68 dashboard created by former FBI counterintelligence official Clint Watts, under the auspices of the Alliance for Securing Democracy (ASD)”. The goal was to pressure Twitter to remove content that could eventually take apart the Trump-Russia narrative. Teh justification they were using was that Russian groups were behind the Twitter pushback.
SIDEBAR from CTH ARCHIVES – A fantastic catch by Twitter user “15poundstogo” previously highlighted a key phrase within the Senate Select Intelligence Committee (SSCI) Russia Report Volume-5, showing how the SSCI allowed those who created the Trump-Russia narrative to avoid questioning:
This is a very important detail to underpin previous reporting we shared about former Dianne Feinstein top staffer Dan Jones attempting to avoid a subpoena from U.S. Attorney John Durham. [SEE BACKGROUND HERE] This key highlight from the SSCI is evidence of how the attempted coup against President Trump was coordinated by people outside government and inside government.
Dan Jones left the SSCI prior to the 2016 election and went to work pushing the Trump-Russia narrative through his media contacts. Jones took over funding Fusion-GPS and Chris Steele in 2017 at the same time Senator Mark Warner took over as SSCI vice-chairman. Dan Jones and Mark Warner coordinated the efforts outside and inside government on the same objective. The Senate Intel Committee was part of the effort.
As a result of their alignment and common purpose the SSCI didn’t investigate the origin of the Trump-Russia narrative; and instead positioned themselves as a shield to block any investigative inquiry into what took place.
The attempt to remove President Trump from office encompassed all three branches of the U.S. government.
- Executive Branch – FBI, DOJ-NSD, CIA, State Dept., and eventually the Special Counsel Office.
- Legislative Branch – SSCI in 2017 and 2018 with an assist from House Intelligence Committee and House Judiciary in 2019 and 2020.
- Judicial Branch – FISA Court 2015, 2016, 2017; Federal Judges (Sullivan, Walton, Howell, Berman-Jackson) in alignment with DC intents in 2018, 2019 and 2020.
How does the office of the United States president; and more importantly a constitutional republic itself; survive a coordinated coup effort that involves all three branches of government; while simultaneously those in charge of exposing the corruption fear the scale of the effort is too damaging for the U.S. government to reveal?
[EARLIER REPORT] – […] When President Trump won the November 2016 election all of those participants involved in the use of government offices and agencies for corrupt political intent had a real problem. Immediately, a lot of strategic planning took place by a lot of desperate people.
One of the key needs of the corrupt intelligence apparatus was to find a way to stop the incoming administration from exposing their effort; that’s where the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) comes in.
Senator Dianne Feinstein was vice-chair of the SSCI in 2016. Feinstein’s former chief of staff was Dan Jones.
The post-election plan to protect the intel community would involve using the SSCI institution to cover for prior Obama-era operations. Senator Feinstein was not a good fit for that role, so Feinstein abdicated her position in advance of the next congress in 2017.
In January 2017 Senator Mark Warner took over as SSCI vice-chair after Dan Jones left the SSCI to continue efforts as a freelance operative. Warner was put into place to carry out the strategic objectives needed to protect the DOJ, NSD, CIA, FBI and ODNI operations against Donald Trump who was now the incoming president-elect.
Keep in mind with control of the SSCI the group inside the legislative branch could control who ran what intelligence agency because they held the power of confirmation; and they could control who would rise to be inspector general within the intelligence community, a position needed if a whistle-blower was to surface. The SSCI would only allow Michael Atkinson to act as ICIG – That’s because Atkinson was part of the 2015/2016 crew.
Additionally, the SSCI would control intelligence information and assist the Weissmann/Mueller special counsel after appointment. The SSCI could work as a sword and a shield as needed. Which is exactly what happened. That background, the motive of the SSCI, explains every point of conflict and corruption we have seen from the SSCI.
Meanwhile Dan Jones went freelance and in 2017 was given $50 million to fund an investigative outfit called the “Penn Quarter Group” and create a new organization called the Democracy Integrity Project.
“Jones told federal investigators that he had raised $50 million from “7 to 10 wealthy donors located primarily in New York and California.” (link)
Jones used both groups to continue selling and pushing the Trump-Russia narrative. Also, it was important for those at risk to find an alternate route to keep financing their defense without using Clinton’s legal team within Perkins Coie.
Essentially, in 2017 Dan Jones, through his Penn Quarter Group, took over funding for Fusion-GPS and Glenn Simpson and kept paying Christopher Steele. The payments to these entities and Steele always looked more like a pay-off to keep their mouths shut. Jones was essentially the bagman for continued Trump-Russia operations outside government. Jones’s second job was to keep pushing the Trump-Russia narrative in the media (read more).
Back to Taibbi today:
“NBC, Politico, AP, Times, Business Insider, and other media outlets who played up the “Russian bots” story – even Rolling Stone – all declined to comment for this story. The staffs of Feinstein, Schiff, and Blumenthal also declined comment.
Who did comment? Devin Nunes. “Schiff and the Democrats falsely claimed Russians were behind the Release the Memo hashtag, all my investigative work… By spreading the Russia collusion hoax, they instigated one of the greatest outbreaks of mass delusion in U.S. history.”
This #ReleaseTheMemo episode is just one of many in the #TwitterFiles. The Russiagate scandal was built on the craven dishonesty of politicians and reporters, who for years ignored the absence of data to fictional scare headlines.” (more)
All of it enabled by “greased fat pigs” attorneys and credulous
FISA court judges.
“Greased and fat” are terms your enlightened readers ascribed to me.
Lawyers aren’t going to fix any of this bullshit.
And, it’s an insult to pigs!
Listen, I had a potbelly pig for 18 years. She wasn’t greased— a little fat—and she was my little buddy.
Watch the insults!
Her trough had no dollar bills in it!
There is a reason why they all pledge to the British Accreditation Register (BAR) and we are seeing centuries of their Shyster work against this country.
I believe the states should decide who gets to keep their lane law license.
And the Chief Testicle of the SCROTUS, John Roberts, is linked to this, too. Isn’t he the character the oversees the FISA judges?
FISA is window dressing.
FISA was likely never intended to truly protect American citizens from having their 4th Amendment rights violated with impunity by government agents.
Like everything every other bill enacted and passed by Congress, the title is a lie and the government’s repeated public explanations of it’s intended purpose was and still is a lie.
The bill must be repealed and the “window dressing” FISC dissolved.
You’re going too easy on FISA court judges. They aren’t credulous, just corrupt.
Didn’t we see these 4 regular Joes back in 2021 at the Jan. 6th Stop the Steal Rally in DC?
Looks photoshopped.
Because it is.
What’s the reference to?
Its a spoof, they consider the PTA to be terrorist organisation, get it?
lol, thanks
Strawberry Fields Spooks . . .
nothing is realFour asses of the apocalypse.
Looks like they are five.
Didn’t we know this 5 years ago?
If the new House committee doesn’t do anything else, they should broadcast the corruption of those congressional swine that lied repeatedly to the American people. Braceface Warner and Schifforbrains should be made the laughing stock of the nation.
Let us not forget sweet and honorable (spit) Feinstein who went on to trying to destroy another man’s life for a made up rape claim.
Fox News is an extinct dinosaur that hasn’t gotten the message, yet.
…all msm.
“How does the office of the United States president; and more importantly a constitutional republic itself; survive a coordinated coup effort that involves all three branches of government; while simultaneously those in charge of exposing the corruption fear the scale of the effort is too damaging for the U.S. government to reveal?”
Lol sometimes I think SD is pulling our leg.
A man walks into a bar with no arms and legs. Never mind. An impossible premise, even for a bad joke.
Imo SD’s posing a rhetorical strawman aimed mostly at securing a narrow ledge in order to sustain debate beyond the life of the patient (though for what purpose I’m not sure unless rhetorical outrage is not the means to a practicable end, but rather the end itself. And that would be a bit cynical and pointless.)
There’s always Occam’s Razor… that our constitutional republic is prima facie deader than a doorknob.
Nah. Too scary and a real blog-killer. On second thought, let’s keep yammering amongst ourselves.
Our Republic has survived quite a bit, actually.
There is a cycle of life for everything, including nations. Although Adam Smith said there is “a lot of ruin in nations“, he did not mean to say such ruin was endless.
This is an actual Constitutional crisis, federal government employees of the Executive branch following the directions of elected representatives, the Legislative branch, using the courts, the Judicial branch, to obtain illegal warrants, and then getting the press – to lie on behalf of the government whether through actual lies or acts of omission to the American citizens.
Cant’ get any more constitutional crisis than that (not even counting manipulating the elections so their ideological preferred candidates take office.
Guess we’ll see if Kevin McCarthy is up to the challenge. If he is, the American public will certainly support the efforts that must be undertaken.
You left off said agents of the Executive, at the behest of legislators, taking operational control of Social media, to censor, amplify and deamplify public discoarse.
As was commented on another post, the large number of corrupt bureaucrats is like the mist over the swamp. It’s there and it isn’t there. You try to grasp the one in front of you, and it disappears, and yet more swirl around you.
Sunlight is the only disinfectant.
true; was trying to keep it as simple, succinct as possible.
How long, has this been going on?
All of the twitter file revelations seem to be covering recent events, certainly all “post-Trump” era,…
I really expect this FBI/CIA control over the Public narrative thru Social media, was “baked in” from the beginning OF social media.
After all, they were controlling the MSM since long before DJT even considered politics, why WOULDN’T they take control of the new internet?
Zero saw to that.
Which is why we aren’t seeing anything pre-Trump at all.
I never bought into the need for Social Media.
I read many of the comments about why people did not take the Covid jab and it falls in line with the Social Media lie.
I based by objection to Social Media when I compared it to our party telephone line back when I was young. We were the lucky family that had a “plunger, as my Mom called it,” on our phone. Unless you released the little button, you could listen to anyone talking and they would never know. Party line and gossip.
I have longed believed that lack of self-esteem is at the root of many who NEED social media. It makes them feel a part of the team; it makes them feel important; it gives them an outlet for sharing cooking plans and connecting to others who don’t want to think too deeply about most anything except other people’s business.
WOW, I don’t trust Facebook, SNAP chat, or much else on the internet. I am shunned by family because I miss the latest pictures. I always tell them that I have email and text…if its something important, then let me know.
Lack of self-esteem? Perhaps. Or a need to feel relevant. Nearly the same thing. I know people personally who were well-liked because they were at heart nice people, but once they discovered hatebook they found that being the nastiest witch in the comment stream was the way to garner lots of attention. As that forum grew the attention reinforcement became essentially instantaneous, which of course is even more addicting.
As a result those nice people are now two-faced nasties who thrive on viciousness while in their internet mode but want to pretend to be nice while in person.
It’s been going on for a hundred years.
Whitney Webb’s book, One Nation Under Blackmail, does a pretty good job of peeling a few layers off the onion.
This has been going on at least since the Kennedy assassination. Ike went on national tv in January 1961 a few days before Kennedy was sworn it and tried to warn the new administration and the country. The short version of his speech was he was leaving the White House and was very concerned about Big Money, Big Military, and Greedy Congressmen finding common cause against the people. And boy, was he ever right. Kennedy came to see what was happening, tried to fight as best he could so they killed him. LBJ who was facing loss of his job as VP now as the new president signed up for the duration. And soon we had major wars in SE Asia. Go back and look at how it developed. It goes back to Truman signing the authorizing legislation creating the CIA, which he later said was the dumbest thing he ever did.
Read what Lincoln did when he was dictator….to the NORTHERN people…it goes back further than 100 years…
You know history…well said.
They killed General George Patton before President Kennedy.
“Jones told federal investigators that he had raised $50 million from “7 to 10 wealthy donors located primarily in New York and California.”
After 6 years we still don’t know the names of those who funded the “Russia! Russia! Russia!” BS. Trump prove the Steele Dossier was created by Deep State operatives and political adversaries but nobody was ever held accountable.
Still think Rob Reiner was one of the donors. Failing that, the Gettys ( so Newsome’s name
wouldn’t come up).
When I think CA, I think Big Tech and Zuckerbucks.
The money changers always manage to escape recognition, and remain free to pursue/maintain world domination for decades.
OK. I’ve seen the blatant 1st amendment violations drip out of Twitter.
When does someone step up that was damaged and begin the lawsuit naming these officials? We need to see the process begin before this is memory-holed.
Remember, the MO (and other) Attorney Generals’ legal action started this cascade. Not some Congressional hearing or media report. There need to be depositions as soon as possible.
Otherwise, Are we learning anything new or unexpected?
I found this recent filing (100123) regarding Lawsuit Against Legacy Media Over Coordinated Censorship.
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/TNI-Complaint-1.10.22.pdf
And after all this they released a biological weapon, created a fake vaccine and put a puppet in the whitehouse who got 81 million ballots from highly dubious means. I would also suspect that a least that many American citizens have their head in the sand. Time is long past due for those military tribunals.
I disagree. While most of us have been aware of their treason for some time, more sunlight needs to be shone on those that have decided to raise their heads up out of the sand. It is the beginning of the end for the Cabal. I would not count out military tribunals just yet.
Unleash the mob.
So much corruption, and, yet, each one of these demons are free to get up every morning like it’s just another day, still plotting how to destroy Americans, our way of life, our economy, our religions, our babies, our fine service members from all branches, grandma and grandpa, et al. I am truly sickened to know these people have any power in our government. 18 USC 2385, 18 USC 2381. Treason, sedition, overthrow of a government.
Institute the punishment for these crimes.
It may be the survival instinct program has been activated in order for Freemason Land to continue to exist.
The committee that we need is…………
The House Select Committee on the planned Coup and Treason of a sitting President.
No stone should be left unturned
Subpoena them all including all their emails, texts and phone calls.
Keep in mind that this Leftist censorship isn’t as much about squelching conservative voices as it is about keeping open minded people from hearing them.
“Keep them dumb & keep them democrat” is an old saying which didn’t get to be an old saying for nothing.
This is the very same motive and mentality southern slaveholders had when they wouldn’t allow their slaves to read, write or own books.
The Devil’s Playbook hasn’t changed.
If there were a shred of integrity left in any western institution Sundance would be awarded the equivalent of a Pulitzer. Excellent work, thank you.
The famous historian Will Durant defined history as what takes place in the passing river, while everyday life is taking place on the banks.
We watch it flow by, but we surely do not play a part.
The State, the establishment intend to be the river, while they decidedly exclude us from dipping a toe in the water. And when the people attempt to take part in the river of history, by electing politicians who intend to dive in, the establishment calls out their lifeguards (I’ve beggared my metaphor, but you get my point).
Devin Nunes still doesn’t fully grasp that he has been consigned to the bank of the river, and so have most politicians. Some enjoy their sinecures and never think of diving in – you well could drown.
Excellent metaphor. Nicely done.
More than anything, the whole Russian Collusion hoax just showed me how incredibly gullible the American public is and how easily they can be manipulated. I still know “smart” people that believe the whole charade to be true and expected Trump’s tax returns to show hundreds of millions in Russian money. LOL. They can lie at will since and Dem and many Independents will believe anything they’re told. What’s next?
Correct…along the same lines as the C-vid scam…
Can the American public ever be de-programmed from what the Left has done to them?
Not unless people are taught right from wrong during their formative years which is a function of the family, church and primary public education . . . . institutions which have been all but destroyed by the Left.
Never say never but chances are slim. Each year older conservatives pass on to their eternal reward while a new graduating class of the indoctrinated leaves the universities.
Left plays the long game…going back to administration of Woodrow Wilson in 1913…
We concentrate on raising a family, going to work and church while they do everything they can to destroy our values and remake this Country into the foundations of Communism…
Yes Gary. When they are standing in front of the firing squad.
I’ll say the (once again) unpopular thing: secession is the only answer.
It’s broken….ain’t gonna get fixed. There’s a time, and Jefferson said it himself, when we need to shake off the oppression of tyranny and establish for ourselves a new order of governance . I’m not using exact quotes, but the message is clear….we’ve all been conditioned to think secession is treason, racist, immoral, etc, when we actually practise it every day. We disassociate ourselves from people, organisations, etc we don’t like or with whom we have nothing in common. Why not this government? It’s a bizarro version of what was initially intended for the (now former) sovereign States. Re-establishing this form of government will require education and secession. Mordor-on-the-Potomac (DC) is the cancerous Kraken that is killing us all. We have no control over federal elections (possibly some States as well) and therefore the only power we have (for now) is our freedom to assemble and plan, freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
How long must we wait to take action….when all but one or none of these freedoms are gone? I am a NAP-er, Non Aggression Principal advocate. I don’t want violence and don’t suggest any. Words are stronger than swords, and that is my preferred weapon of choice. Start at the county and twn level and work your way up. Let them know you’re out there and you are willing to challenge them when their solutions are unlawful. They will push back, so use the press and opinion pages against them. Form your own freedom group. GOP is not your friend….democrats are Baby-killing Satanists…start anew and shake the dust off of your feet and establish your new republic.
**A million mile journey begins with one step….
Deo Vindice!
You know, after seeing all this corrupted co-ordination, it really exposes the paradox that everything is so apparent, it’s one big illusion.
And if there really was any honor, their member bodies would vote to throw them out.
Sundance, me thinks you describe a traitorous coup d’etat. What is that vile stench emanating from the establishment body politic?
So what are the penalties for elected officials and other government employees who encourage, urge, demand and use extortionary threats to suspend some of the most basic rights of the public provided by the Constitution, to abuse their roles in government and to betray the oath of office which requires adherence to the Constitution?
And who in government can initate the prosecution of those penalties other than the individuals targeted who often don’t have enough funds to carry on a civil suit?
I didn’t need any Twitter File Drop to figure out all by myself what the game was all about… it was obvious right from the beginning. I couldn’t believe people didn’t see right through those shenanigans. When I first heard the news about Trump’s hotel room in Moscow, I told myself: ”Yeah… right!!!”. In fact, just the timing of it was a tell-all.
All of what is happening is possible greatly thanks to today’s people gullibility.
My first thought was that the country was currently being run by the closest thing we’ve ever seen resembling a communist dictatorship (Barack Hussein Alinsky was still in office) and they want us to believe Trump is colluding with Putin against American interests?
Beam me up, Scotty!
Please tell me that you have written a book about this… you are an AMAZING Patriot and brilliant mind.
many of us have always known the Trump Russia gate was an attack by the communist operators within the political whore house of the DC swamp.. With all the sunlight now shining thru all that will happen is the vermin will take up better hiding positions.. The only fix will be total destruction of the varmints and their offspring like you would a house full of cockroaches, fleas or bedbugs..
Just a coward should have spilled everything out at a news conference . Same as Grenell and the other one. Republicans always polite and lawful. I call BS some one paid them off or threatened. Same as that toothless chihuahua about Benghazi.. All bark and no action.
“the scale of the effort is too damaging for the U.S. government to reveal” – This narrative along with the “for the good of the country” have been used so long and repeated so often that have come to accept them as foundational truth. In fact the ‘government’ has no role or purpose in “protecting the American People from knowing what the government they employ is doing” other than to preserve and protect the government. A translation for the People might read “the government must be protected from the People knowing or else the People may rise against their government”.
The unethical DC swamp critters and Judges are proud of what they were able to get away with.
What would we do without the criminals/traitors that have weaseled their way into the highest levels of our Constitutional Republic?
… and these traitors will be forever free to spend all the laundered money their positions can gave them. They will get to retire in luxury while we worry about paying for heating. Phuc the politicians, and their rich elitist handlers.
“….greatest outbreaks of mass delusion….””…..followed by the mass psychosis formation from Covid….” “….be be continued in other hoaxes about climate, race, wealth, merit, from every education portal possible…”
We are a paradise of fools. (Milton)
Let me be clear.
My take away about what these Twitter drop files are revealing is not about overt censorship.
i.e. The killing of a story/report outright by scrubbing it from social media.
The real issue and revelation is that Big Tech marched hand and foot in step with requests from those within the halls of Government to suppress these stories by stearing the 24/7 life cycle dissemination within social media landscape. So this blog post is more about an understanding of, “How Big Tech achieved this endeavor.”
Mind you my assertions are being made by someone that has just little bit more command of sample population statistical mathematics than the average citizen and the programic(software) abilities of Big Data analysis when it comes to sociological/demograhic analysis to provide a percentile measure.
More specifically, when the relationship of Big Tech and Political Insiders becomes evermore inarguable.
The ‘whom’ that is paying the bills for Jack’s magic coffee shop when Rath of God monies become involved.
“It is no longer a question ofWhy? But of How!”
(Understanding the nuances of that supposition is a require prequest for all that follows)
Essentially, ‘Rath of God’ monies will not chase down R&D wishful social media ‘big data’ analysis without a measurable means to deliever on a defined outcome.
It is longer a subject of debatable argumentation. “When there are multitudes of observation points that support this conclusion.”
i.e. Vast sums of ‘dark’ monies have gravitated into Big Tech’s social media platforms to support a business capitalization model based on the end user of the product paying essentially nothing.
The fact that this is settled social science across the cloud of big data analysis across all levels of social media….
Highly proports that the means of Big Tech to deliver the the means(the hows) has long again the ‘Trust’ of those that postulate and commands to the ‘Why to fores’ of employing the skill sets of Big Tech to deliver outcomes for these entities are that truly paying the operational bills of Big Tech’s negative inherit revenue model.
Let that settle in before my next installment
“This is a just not a trust me assertion.”
Flat out, “I am asserting
my understanding of sample population
statistics arise to the level of being able to give
swearable legal expert
testimony even if that testimony up to and before SCOTUS.”
Just remember where we are now.
Corporations going woke and harming shareholders.
Journalists/media without curiosity to pursue the truth and attacking those that do.
FBI with many paid assets in throughout nation.
FBI unwilling to share evidence of same.
Could it be that Twitter is the tip of the iceberg of a far more reaching FBI?
What better authority on “clowns” could the phake nooz media provide than the one and only Joe Scarborough. He sees the leader of the clown-pack every time he looks in a mirror.
