The leftist media are calling this ‘revenge’, however, in reality it is more akin to modest accountability given the nature of the conduct and motive behind it.
President Trump issued an executive order late Monday revoking the security clearances of 50 former intelligence and high-ranking government officials. Each of the officials participated in the widely discussed election interference operation surrounding the Hunter Biden laptop and the 2020 election.
The Intelligence Community (IC, aka Deep State, aka “six ways from Sunday” group) forms the tip of the spear in both controlling U.S politics, manipulating intelligence gathering machinery – including those used to control politicians, and targeting any entity who tries to confront their unconstitutional efforts. In short, the IC is the Fourth Branch of Government, and they have grown to operate with malicious intent.
It was the IC operation who targeted President Trump in 2016 and throughout his first term. It is the same IC who manipulate media for political gain and who weaponized information surrounding the Hunter Biden laptop in 2020. In President Trump’s second term, starting now, it is only by confronting the IC officials, named and hidden, that putting America-First policy into place will succeed.
…This executive order is a silo penetrating MOAB that starts the beginning of a war that will leave only one system standing, a Constitutional Republic or IC controlled Totalitarianism. Either President Donald Trump wins or We the People will be stuck within the illusion of democracy.
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:
Section 1. Purpose. In the closing weeks of the 2020 Presidential campaign, at least 51 former intelligence officials coordinated with the Biden campaign to issue a letter discrediting the reporting that President Joseph R. Biden’s son had abandoned his laptop at a computer repair business. Signatories of the letter falsely suggested that the news story was part of a Russian disinformation campaign.
Before being issued, the letter was sent to the CIA Prepublication Classification Review Board, the body typically assigned to formally evaluate the sensitive nature of documents prior to publication. Senior CIA officials were made aware of the contents of the letter, and multiple signatories held clearances at the time and maintained ongoing contractual relationships with the CIA.
Federal policymakers must be able to rely on analysis conducted by the Intelligence Community and be confident that it is accurate, crafted with professionalism, and free from politically motivated engineering to affect political outcomes in the United States. The signatories willfully weaponized the gravitas of the Intelligence Community to manipulate the political process and undermine our democratic institutions. This fabrication of the imprimatur of the Intelligence Community to suppress information essential to the American people during a Presidential election is an egregious breach of trust reminiscent of a third world country. And now the faith of Americans in all other patriotic intelligence professionals who are sworn to protect the Nation has been imperiled.
National security is also damaged by the publication of classified information. Former National Security Advisor John R. Bolton published a memoir for monetary gain after he was terminated from his White House position in 2019. The book was rife with sensitive information drawn from his time in government. The memoir’s reckless treatment of sensitive information undermined the ability of future presidents to request and obtain candid advice on matters of national security from their staff. Publication also created a grave risk that classified material was publicly exposed.
To remedy these abuses of the public trust, this Order directs the revocation of any active or current security clearances held by: (i) the former intelligence officials who engaged in misleading and inappropriate political coordination with the 2020 Biden presidential campaign; and (ii) John R. Bolton.
Sec. 2. Policy. (a) It is the policy of the United States to ensure that the Intelligence Community not be engaged in partisan politics or otherwise used by a U.S. political campaign for electioneering purposes. The term “Intelligence Community” has the meaning given the term in section 3003 of title 50, United States Code.
(b) It is the policy of the United States that individuals who hold government-issued security clearances should not use their clearance status to influence U.S. elections.
(c) It is the policy of the United States that classified information not be publicly disclosed in memoirs, especially those published for personal monetary gain.
Sec. 3. Implementation. (a) Effective immediately, the Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, shall revoke any current or active clearances held by the following individuals:
A United States Border Agent was shot and killed during a traffic stop in Vermont near the Northern border, Fox News has confirmed.
The Department of Homeland Security said that a Border Patrol agent was shot and killed during a traffic stop in Coventry, Vermont on Monday at 3:15 p.m. Coventry is near the U.S.-Canada border.
During the traffic stop, two suspects were in the car. Officials confirmed that one of the suspects is dead.
Vermont Governor Phil Scott’s office said that he is aware of the incident and that the “Vermont State Police are supporting our federal partners.”
Literally minutes before he leaves office, Joe Biden just issued blanket pardons for his closest family. Having previously pardoned Hunter Biden, the departing executive just pardoned his brothers, James and Frank, along with his sister Valerie, and their spouses.
The Biden family crime syndicate, those who engaged in the benefit of Joe Biden selling the influence of his office for financial gain, are attempting to preemptively pardon themselves from any investigation or prosecution of their criminal conduct.
White House – […] That is why I am exercising my power under the Constitution to pardon James B. Biden, Sara Jones Biden, Valerie Biden Owens, John T. Owens, and Francis W. Biden. The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that they engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense.

Recent legal debate has surrounded the issue of a prosecutor who may bring an indictment against a person after they have been issued a pardon. The state may present evidence of the crime. The defendant may (or may elect not to) present exculpatory evidence or a defense and also plead the pardon.
The court might (or might not) proceed to render a verdict or judgment. If convicted, the defendant may (or may not) invoke the pardon, which prevents any criminal sentence from being issued. (i.e., the defendant may prefer obtaining a verdict of “not guilty” to a pardon.)
The defendant may be called as a witness (in another forum; and interestingly but unclear, in the subject prosecution). Following a pardon, the defendant likely cannot invoke the 5th Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, which is significant.
In the initial criminal court, it’s likely the defendant may be called as a witness, and then invoke the 5th Amendment at such trial, because the pardon has not been activated post-indictment. But this is an issue that would be contested; a lot of tactical decisions involved. I suspect that the evidence introduced at such trial (once re-authenticated) may be used in a civil trial and/or an impeachment of the defendant (despite the criminal pardon).
This is so far beyond corrupt, the light from where corruption emanates could not catch this level of corruption for a year.
Let us be clear. Joe Biden didn’t actually pardon anyone. Biden wouldn’t know who, how, or what a preemptive pardon actually is.
Nope, the non-pretending version of what just happened is: the people who control Joe Biden, just used the tool he represents to pardon themselves.
No one has picked up on this yet, but the people in control of the pardoning process Joe Biden represents, just pardoned themselves; including Mary McCord. Notice the wording (emphasis mine):
WHITE HOUSE – […] “some have even been threatened with criminal prosecutions, including General Mark A. Milley, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, and the members and staff of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.”
[…] That is why I am exercising my authority under the Constitution to pardon General Mark A. Milley, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the Members of Congress and staff who served on the Select Committee, and the U.S. Capitol and D.C. Metropolitan police officers who testified before the Select Committee. {SOURCE}
Mary McCord was a lead staffer on the J6 Committee. REMINDER:November 3, 2021 – In Washington DC – “Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and the House Jan. 6 Select Committee has tapped Mary McCord, who once ran the Justice Department’s National Security Division, for representation in its fight to obtain former President Donald Trump’s White House records. (source)
General Mark Milley, Liz Cheney and Anthony Fauci are the shiny ‘look over there’ thing. Yes, Milley broke the chain of command and is guilty of usurpation of government. Yes, Liz Cheney conducted an unlawful and manipulative operation using the J6 committee as a vehicle against Donald Trump. Yes, Anthony Fauci lied to congress about his involvement in the creation of the SARS-CoV-2 bioweapon program. Yes to all of it…. But it’s the Lawfare operatives inside the machinery that are being overlooked in this “and staff” preemptive pardon.
Some powerful group doesn’t want the people to speak the truth. Some powerful group was able to get lotta Congress on board with the ban. The only people who want censorship are liars and thieves who fear exposure.
With AI—that robotic plagiarist mechanical pseudologia fantastica—coming on hard and fast, we all have to get real used to the truth about our realities and be able to discuss any topicopenly without interference from government, which should be protecting the inalienable rights of US citizens.
If for no other reason, we humans must have full freedom of discussion to protect ourselves from AI mesmerism or control. And there are many more reasons than that. But that is a big one. The only database and voice that can compete with AI is we humans. Censorship will destroy us. Wide-open, deep, unbridled and profound freedom of speech with zero fear of consequences is an absolute must as the world moves ineluctably into massive technological advances. AI is just the beginning. ABN
One of California‘s most multicultural towns is considering a measure to back Donald Trump‘s mass deportation policy in a move directly contradicting Governor Gavin Newsom‘s pledge to protect migrants.
The El Cajon City Council in San Diego County debated a motion which would retract sanctuary city status and assist the mass deportations Trump has promised to enact in his second term, which begins next week.
The President-elect vowed to enact a multi-billion dollar mass deportation plan targeting the millions of people residing in the US illegally.
While the wider state of California is largely opposed to Trump’s deportation agenda, Mayor Bill Wells said his proposal was simply a matter of ‘staying compliant with federal law.’
