This is as crazy as it sounds.
Somalian immigrants moved to Maine, create a quasi-NGO, bilked our welfare programs to the tune of $5 million per year and funded a Somalian militia.
One of them ran for President of Jubaland, Somalia in 2024. He lost and will likely return to the states to continue his mission of bilking American taxpayers to support Somalia.
Another one is currently an elected Maine official who sits on the appropriations committee and has stated on camera that her priority is helping Somalia. https://x.com/TheMaineWire/status/1897316214604751014…
Meanwhile, Gov J. Mills has created a new Office of New Americans to prioritize Maine taxpayer spending on foreigners who have never paid a dime in taxes. The new office is staffed with immigrants who admit their mission is to take tax money for their home countries while rejecting assimilation. https://x.com/TheMaineWire/status/1891926124319399937…
At the same time, Maine is unable to reimburse hospitals for Mainecare, causing the hospitals to lay off hundreds of workers, and our budget has increased by 57% ($7.2 billion to $11.3 billion) since Mills first invited the immigrants in 2019.

The CIA special ops group organized the Signal App operation
UPDATE: CIA Director John Radcliffe on the Signal app flap:
Moreover, it is obvious that both CIA and Mossad can access Signal through backdoors. Probably many others as well. There is no guaranteed privacy online. ABN

The CIA is the entity, the IC silo, controlling politics in the USA — Sundance
Look, it’s complicated, but not complex.
We accept that USAID was funding left-wing extremism, correct? We also accept that USAID is a front group for the CIA, correct? Yet then a disconnect happens.
Yet, for some reason I do not quite understand, people struggle to realize the two points above mean the CIA control domestic political outcomes.
The CIA is the entity, the IC silo, controlling politics in the USA, and the resistance to the politics -namely Trump- they do not agree with.
This is why I use the restaurant analogy. The CIA is the back of the house, the kitchen.
We hold elections, we change the name of the restaurant. We change the front of the house, the staff, the maître d, we even change the decor (DOGE) and the menu. But the kitchen is the same.
The judicial branch defers to the IC. The legislative branch is fearful of the IC. The executive branch is the front of the house, giving the illusion of change, but nothing really changes.
Until the system is changed, totally and radically reformed to remove the power of the IC, then nothing changes.
Repeal the Patriot Act. Repeal the 17th amendment. Start repealing the tools that created the problem, and only then do we start to free ourselves from this mess.
Eisenhower warned about it. JFK talked about it. Many more people have inferred it and have skirted on the issue, pretending there was some reform process that could be used. All of that well-intentioned inaction leads us to this place where we are now; standing jaw-agape wondering what can be done.
Take down the apparatus. Quit being fearful. Yes, leave us vulnerable to harm, but restore constitutional liberty. The people who weaponize govt use fear, real or imagined, for their purposes.
Take down the national security state. Disassemble the tools (FISA, NSA Surveillance, DHS, DOJ-NSD) and all the mechanisms in place to give the illusion of security.
Ultimately, live a life wrapped in constitutional liberty with the potential for harm always present… but live without the control mechanisms of the IC influencing every facet of life, under the ruse of security.
Find that and you will find the opportunity for freedom.
His reasoning is impeccable, but the highlighted conclusion, alas, is unlikely, probably impossible. Surveillance and control are consequences of technologies invented by humans and also the root technologies of the human brain. Game theory of power strongly indicates that power, once attained, concentrates and seeks control and growth. Hierarchies form naturally based on how our minds work, how social groups form, how languages work, how power inevitably forms hierarchies. Sundance can point to ‘the CIA’ but beyond that surface the deep power in control is not visible. Who in the CIA or who is controlling the CIA?
A relevant aside to this is even the people in control of the CIA, or whatever the deep power center is, can never be certain they are in full control. Some force, some group, some entity or enemy could always depose them at any moment. This is the deep reality that drives the need for ever more power among top people. This same reality is true in China, Russia, Europe, wherever. And this same reality is true between and among all nations and power centers on earth. It has ever been thus.
Another relevant aside concerns people who want to return to kingdoms and royalties because democracy is a failure. I agree democracy is a ridiculous way to run a nation, but also must say the deep state is today the modern version of kings and queens. We just don’t know who they are and they no longer parade in front of us in costumes. Other than that, under the sun it’s the exact same old nothing new as ever.
One last aside is it is possible that a vast surveillance state will work in favor of we the people. A super surveillance AI control state will be able to apportion goods and services more efficiently than capitalism and much less painfully. A robotic world will be so wealthy, greed will seem passe. Any elite that controls this state may reason that its control is no longer absolutely necessary because there is no longer any reason for anyone to overthrow them. ABN

Postal Service Reform: USPS Working With DOGE to Trim Fat, Expected Cuts of 10K Employees
Before the Depression and World War 2, the only interaction most Americans had with the federal government was when they went to the post office. It’s one of the oldest federal institutions, having been there since the founding, and it’s one federal agency that, unlike so many others, is specifically authorized in the Constitution; Article I, Section 8, Clause 7, gives Congress the power to “…establish Post Offices and post Roads.”
That doesn’t mean the Postal Service is immune from being expected to operate efficiently or that its operations couldn’t use some modernization and improvement. Now we can chalk up another win for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The United States Postal Service will be working with the DOGE to cut billions from their budget.
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy plans to cut 10,000 workers and billions of dollars from the U.S. Postal Service budget and he’ll do that working with Elon Musk ‘s Department of Government Efficiency, according to a letter sent to members of Congress on Thursday.
DOGE will assist USPS with addressing “big problems” at the $78 billion-a-year agency, which has sometimes struggled in recent years to stay afloat. The agreement also includes the General Services Administration in an effort to help the Postal Service identify and achieve “further efficiencies.”
USPS listed such issues as mismanagement of the agency’s retirement assets and Workers’ Compensation Program, as well as an array of regulatory requirements that the letter described as “restricting normal business practice.”
How Trump AND ONLY TRUMP can release all of the files concerning JFK, RFK, MLK
Dear Mr. President and White House counsel:
Understanding the ordinary process of declassifying documents is a request and authorization to the executive officers and stakeholders of classified information; and understanding the current authorization is not ordinary because the intelligence community stakeholders are averse to the interests of the office of the president; here is a process to cut through the chaff and countermeasures.
The background here is that any unilateral declassification request, demand or authorization by President Trump; or release of any information deemed against the interests of Washington DC; puts him opposition to a variety of corrupt interests.
As a direct result the executive office of the president will be facing legal action, likely from unified democrats and republicans in the legislative branch. With that accepted, here is the most strategic approach.
THE PROCESS – In anticipation of litigation:
President Trump informs the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, that he wishes to have a full intelligence briefing on the following documents (more may be added), all documents are to be presented without a single redaction:
The full and complete records relating to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The full and complete records relating to the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The President selects a date for this briefing and through direct orders to his chief of staff, Susie Wiles and National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz, informs the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, to advise and coordinate with all executive branch intelligence officials, who were/are stakeholders in the compartmented intelligence products as described above, of their request be present for the briefing.
The White House counsel’s office is not to be informed of the intent or purpose of the meeting; however, the Presidents’ White House counsel is requested to attend. Further, all of the compartmented intelligence is to be collectively assembled by the ODNI (Gabbard) into one volume of a singular Presidential Daily Briefing (PDB) although each set might be file boxes. There are to be eighteen printed copies of the PDB material assembled and secured for the briefing, post haste.
Additionally, the office of the president personally informs the ODNI (Gabbard) of the executives’ request to invite for the briefing each member of the legislative branch Intelligence Community oversight known as the Gang-of-Eight.
Immediately after the briefing by the executive level (cabinet) department officials, while remaining in a closed and classified session, the full and comprehensive content of this collective intelligence product will be discussed with the full assembly of the U.S. Legislative Branch Intelligence Oversight known as the Gang of Eight.
Therefore, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz is instructed to coordinate with the ODNI (Gabbard) for the attendance of the Gang of Eight: Speaker Mike Johnson, Minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, HPSCI Chairman Rick Crawford, HPSCI Ranking Member Jim Himes, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, SSCI Chairman Tom Cotton and SSCI Vice-Chair Mark Warner. [Topic “TBD”]
In order to facilitate the briefing. Each member of the participating group will be provided with one full printed copy of the material assembled by the ODNI during the briefing.
[Each of the participants carries the prerequisite clearances, legal and constitutional authority to engage with the classified documents according to their position and status. Only the executive can assemble the product for Go8 review and feedback]
At the conclusion of the briefing; and after hearing from, and engagement with, each of the participating members of the executive intelligence offices and duly authorized legislative oversight representatives; and after listening to their opinion as to the subject material discussed; the president announces to the fully assembled leadership of both the Executive branch (cabinet) and Legislative branch (Go8), it is his opinion the National Interests of the United States can best be served with the American people having a full, transparent and honest review of the material assembled and discussed.
The President, no-one else, only the President, [with his affirmed constitutional power and protection – as acting within his official duty] then collects the printed portfolios [or boxes] as they were distributed to the participants, exits the briefing, and walks directly into the James Brady press briefing room within the White House; handing each of the awaiting twelve members of the national media a copy of the briefing material to be published on behalf of the American people.
At exactly the same time as President Trump enters the briefing room, one copy of the assembled portfolio is hand delivered, by President Trump only, to White House communications director with instructions to scan and release the content to the public through the White House website.
Done.

CIA begins DOGE-inspired purge of employees as they are summoned to off-site location to ‘surrender’ badges
The latest newly hired probationary federal workers hit with a wave of layoffs is the Central Intelligence Agency.
CIA officers hired within the last two years are being summoned to off-site locations, fired and forced to surrender their badges to security personnel, three people briefing on the layoffs told The New York Times.
President Donald Trump said that agencies would begin initiating their own cuts and firings inspired by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) actions over the first month of his second term.
CIA under Director John Ratcliffe wasted no time getting to work on trimming down their workforce under Trump’s orders.
The reduction in CIA workforce came after a judge cleared the way for Ratcliffe to fire employees at will.
Judge Anthony J. Trenga of the Eastern District of Virginia ruled on a lawsuit brought by CIA officers who were assigned to the diversity and recruiting efforts under the previous administration.
They were removed under Trump’s order to get rid of any diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs or department within the federal government.
But Judge Trenga’a ruling was sweeping and gave Director Ratcliffe the power to remove any CIA officer for any reason – without giving them a right of appeal.
