Too long to post it all and the images are important. Another great Sundance analysis.

Sally Yates -vs- Michael Flynn…

Prior to March 9th, 2016, the political surveillance and spy operations of the Obama administration were using the FBI and NSA database to track and monitor their opposition. However, once the NSA compliance officer began initiating an internal review of who was accessing the system, the CIA and FBI moved to create ex post facto justification for their endeavors. [Full Backstory]

After the November 8th, 2016, election everyone within the Obama network associated with the Trump surveillance operation was at risk. This is the impetus for the “Muh Russia” conspiracy narrative that was used as a mitigating shield. Within a few days after the election ODNI James Clapper and CIA Director John Brennan began pushing the Russia election interference narrative in the media.

Without notifying anyone, NSA Director Mike Rogers went to Trump tower on November 18th, 2016. Despite his compartmentalization it appears Rogers identified the NSA database abuse as likely the underpinning for some form of political surveillance.

By mid-December 2016 the Obama administration was deploying a full-court-press using their media allies to promote the Russia conspiracy. However, despite their public proclamations Clapper and Brennan were refusing to give any specifics to congress.

The hard narrative was that Russia interfered. That was the specific push from within the Obama intelligence apparatus writ large. All IC officials, sans Mike Rogers (NSA), had a self-interest in pushing this narrative; after all, it was the defensive mechanism to justify their illegal spying operation throughout 2016. This was their insurance policy.

The media was doing their part, and using the information leaked to them by those who were part of the 2016 operation(s), began battering the Trump transition team every hour of every day with questions about the Russia hacking narrative; thereby fertilizing the seeds of a collusion conspiracy.

On December 29, 2016, the IC produced, and rushed to completion, a ridiculous document to support the false-premise. This was called the Joint Analysis Report which claimed to outline the details of Russia’s involvement hacking into targeted political data base or computer systems during the election. We were introduced to “Grizzley Steepe” and a goofy claim of Russian hackers.

On the same day (12/29/16) Obama announced a series of sanctions against Russians who were located in Maryland. This was Obama’s carefully constructed response to provide additional validity to the Joint Analysis Report. After fueling the Russia conspiracy for several weeks, Obama knew this action would initiate a response from both Russia and the incoming Trump administration.

On the day the JAR was released and Obama made the announcement, President-elect Donald Trump and some of his key members were in Mar-a-Lago, Florida. Incoming National Security Adviser Mike Flynn was on vacation in the Dominican Republic. As expected the Obama action spurred calls between Russian emissary Kislyak and Flynn.

The Obama IC were monitoring Kislyak communications and waiting for the contact. Additionally, it is suspected Flynn may have been under a FISA surveillance warrant which seems confirmed by the Weissmann/Mueller report. The FBI intercepted, recorded, and later transcribed the conversation.

The media continued to follow the lead from the Obama White House and Intelligence Apparatus (writ large) and fuel the narrative that any contact with the Russians was proof of collusion of some sort. In addition the communications team of the White House, DOJ, FBI and aggregate IC began pushing a narrative surrounding the obscure Logan Act.

The ridiculous Logan Act promotion was targeted to infer that any action taken by the Trump campaign prior to taking office was interference with the political Obama Russia action and would be evidence of collusion; that was the plan. DOJ Deputy AG Sally Yates was in charge of pushing the Logan Act narrative to the media.

The first two weeks of January 2017 was now a merging of two necessary narratives. (1) Russian interference; and (2) the Logan Act; deployed against any entity who would counter the Russia narrative story. The media were running this dual narrative 24/7 against the incoming Trump officials; demanding repeated answers to questions that were framed around this story-line.

On January 3rd, 2017, the new congressional year began. SSCI Vice-Chair Dianne Feinstein abdicated her position within the Gang-of-Eight, and turned over the reigns to Senator Mark Warner. Warner was now the vice-chair of the SSCI; and a Go8 member.

On January 6th, 2017, the Obama White House published the Intelligence Communication Assessment, and declared:

We assess Putin and the Russian Government aspired to help President-elect Trump’s election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him. All three agencies agree with this judgment. CIA and FBI have high confidence in this judgment; NSA has moderate confidence. (pdf link)

With the Flynn Dec. 29, 2016, transcript in hand, the DOJ and FBI began aiding the Logan Act narrative with Obama intelligence officials supporting the Russia Conspiracy claims and decrying anyone who would interfere or counter the official U.S. position.

Observation. I think the MSM is beginning to shift its position.

3 anecdotes

1. A friend sent me an article about (the idiotic flaming liberal) Tom Friedman of the NYT being pro-wall. Not entirely, but still. Wow.

2. Listening to the radio on the way to church, NPR was airing a pro-wall, pro-border enforcement show. Or at least that’s what the snippet I heard sounded like.

3. Call in show on CSPAN. Independent voter called in and went on and on about how Trump was a buffoon and she had no respect for Trump, but then said that she agreed with him completely on whatever the issue was being discussed. (the wall, I think)

So here is what these things made me think about .....

Either the white hats are now in control of the media (or at least some elements of the media) or the derps have lost control. It could well be some combination of the two. I’d really prefer - particularly long term - that no one is controlling the media. That just trades one dictatorial group for a different group that I happen to like at the moment, but which eventually will become corrupted as it exerts ever more control.

Interesting that at least 2 of the 3 incidents were about building the wall and enforcing our border laws. Coincidence?

As a thought experiment, assume that Trump/Q controls the media. Are they going to immediately start printing/broadcasting rah-rah pro-Trump information? No, of course not. For so many reasons.

First of all, it would be incredibly obvious that something drastic happened. People would want to know why the sudden change and it would probably do more harm than good.

Second, the sheeple who have been spoon-fed a steady diet of derp propaganda would not be able to handle the sudden change. They would be confused, they’d get whiplash from being jerked so fast in a different direction. They wouldn’t be able to understand or absorb the information. Too much cognitive dissonance.

So a better plan would be to have “trusted” derp writers and broadcasters ease into this. They need to gradually point out things that both the left and the right can agree on and “grudgingly” admit that Trump might be doing something right. I don’t know how long it takes to condition people to change their minds or to free them from the “Stockholm Syndrome” of being hostage to the derp media, but I’ll be the Q team knows! Stockholm Syndrome takes a surprisingly short time to set in, so I’m guessing it ought to be just as fast to reverse it with the right treatment.

In Stockholm Syndrome, the victims defend their captors and a big factor is because they have become physically, psychologically, or emotionally dependent on the captors. Or all three. Plenty of sheeple are physically dependent on the derps - food stamps, welfare, affirmative action, jobs, ..... Even more have become psychologically and emotionally dependent. They get a steady diet of the derp media telling them that they are the good people because they agree with the derps and are not mean like the conservatives/Trump supporters. They definitely have a strong tribal bond and depend on the MSM to constantly reinforce and reassure them that they “think correctly”.

So the Q team needs to break that dependence. (Think for yourself! Do your own research!) Some of us were always independent. Some of us learned it from stumbling on to the Q drops and waking up. Some are going to need a little more of a push. And sadly, some will never catch on.

But I think there is hope for the vast majority, once they are presented with the truth. Maybe spoon fed a bit by the reformed MSM.

Truth is like the sun. It shines a light into dark places. It has a sanitizing effect. But too much all at once can hurt like hell.
