Many come here to read dispatches from the War between Good and Evil, to red-pill and encourage.....and to pray and give thanks to the God who fights for us.

Q has reminded us repeatedly that together, we are strong. As the false "narrative" is destroyed and the divisive machinery put in place by the Deep State fails, the fact that patriotism has no skin color or political party is exposed for all to see.

>Decide for yourself (be free from outside opinion).
>Decide for yourself (be objective in your conclusions).
>Decide for yourself (be true in your own beliefs).
>Decide for yourself (be open to following the facts).
>Decide for yourself (be strong in defending your beliefs).
>Decide for yourself (be resistant to blindly accepting fact-less statements).
>Decide for yourself (be free)
Those who attack you.
Those who mock you.
Those who cull you.
Those who control you.
Those who label you.
Do they represent you?
Or, do they represent themselves (in some form)?
Mental Enslavement.
The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’), but, more importantly, aid in the construction of a vehicle (a ‘ship’) that provides the scattered (‘free thinkers’) with a ‘starter’ new social-networking platform which allows for freedom of thought, expression, and patriotism or national pride (the feeling of love, devotion and sense of attachment to a homeland and alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment).
When ‘non-dogmatic’ information becomes FREE & TRANSPARENT it becomes a threat to those who attempt to control the narrative and/or the stable.
When you are awake, you stand on the outside of the stable (‘group-think’ collective), and have ‘free thought’.
"Free thought" is a philosophical viewpoint which holds that positions regarding truth should be formed on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, revelation, or dogma.
When you are awake, you are able to clearly see.
The choice is yours, and yours alone.
Trust and put faith in yourself.
You are not alone and you are not in the minority.
Difficult truths will soon see the light of day.
WWG1WGA!!!

Q

In the battle between those who strip us our constitutional rights, we can't afford to let false divisions separate us any longer. We, and our country, will be forever made stronger by diligently seeking the truth, independence and freedom of thought.

Where We Go 1, We Go All

Indeed.

My best guess is that the Shutdown will last until enough ‘rats grow a brain and realize the damage they’re doing to themselves with the general public outweighs anything they could hope to gain from the media/far-left-nutcases/big donors currently directing this Clown Posse.

As far as what they then do is concerned i.e. fire Schumer/just change their vote/switch party......I’ll just lay in a good stock of popcorn and keep watchin’ the movie.

I’m wondering about that; doesn’t seem as though Comey’s indictment will trigger mass pop awakening. I dunno...

Way behind.
Maybe the awakening is after the hanging.

To: All
I've been in Tennessee preparing to put in a new home to live. I've been looking at the video's of the assassination of Kirk.
The official story I knew was wrong on the first day. The long distant video shown to me the round was a low velocity and close to the stage.

The shooter was standing not far behind the person asking the question. Another person painted the target with a low powered laser which can give an obscured dark pattern on Kirk's Blue tooth transmitter which the laser moved as he moved.

The targeting system they used was from a disassembled drone that finds a programmed pattern and follows the target. All the person did was hook up the servo wires from the drone to a small pistol platform likely in a bag near her/his feet. electronic button to fire.

Two video's (both very graphic. X has taken down these videos) I disagree with both of the commentary on the videos:
This video shown me:
a. it was laser painted target. moved as Kirk moved and moved to the target location when the weapon fired. The round hit about 1/2" low from the marked spot.
b. the entry hole was in Krik's T shirt collar. (simple T shirt Bullet resistant vest might have saved him)
c. The bullet entry shows to me the bullet came from nearly directly in front of him (clean round hole, bullet didn't tumble)
d. the round was about a .30 cal and likely hit Kirk's collar bone creating a cavity and bone fragments which cut his jugular vain. both giving that loud "thud" sound.
All this from this video.

https://www.bitchute.com/video/4Do5qaIDvwNw

Also tracked the bullet. I can see the bullet moving in two frames from the shooting location to Kirk's neck. Can also see what looks to me like a drone body that was dissembled that pops up just before the round was fired.
There are flying bugs around in the video which is distracting but the round follows a parabola from the firing location past these two locations I can see the bullet and to the neck. Then splatter from his neck going directly behind him.

at 14:17 from your rumble video. You see the object fly by the black collar of the body guard. now take a straight line to the direction of Kirk's neck at the top of the camera in the next frame you can see it over the camera lens. Go back three frames you can see air/gas discharge blown on the paper over the top of the done body. Then next to the lady/man you can see a shirt blown a little from air/gas discharge.

Other points:
The person that seems to be holding the drone body was also the very first person to react to the shooting.
When she/he reacted the person looked very much like a male.
When she/he ducked down it looked like he/she was reaching with both hands to pick somethings up.
https://rumble.com/v6zczqs-was-the-charlie-kirk-shooting-a-hoax-literal-smoking-gun-evidence-all-other.html

I talk about it with this person when i was in Tennessee. Which i do not agree with his assessment.
Video quality is not good enough to see the bullets on bitchute.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/lJMV2byBBiT9/?comment=geA3pkGBl6AisD17dfey2A8wcMZ6Qzuox8v3

This all fits into the sound acoustics (Start half way in to video.) which this video shows the distance the bullet fired was from kirk and how the bullet ended up crating a cavity in his neck(thud sound)
Again: I do not agree with his assessment.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/ZyIu3CUwMCs/?list=notifications&randomize=false

This MIGHT be associated with ISIS the Islamic terrorist and the Deep state. IMO October 1 2017 las vegas was an ISIS attack using low velocity rounds while one person distracted in "Paddocks" room in a high very observable position. We also know ISIS has been working with LGBTQ groups to "influence" them to change their sex. Same method that is acceptable for ISIS rather then throwing them off a roof (forcing gender change in Islamic countries was deep state operation(for uniformity of laws))

Disclaimer:
This lady/guy should be questioned. I can not tell where the bullet actually came from but it was very close to this persons location.

ransomnote: The following is additional information for a post I linked elsewhere which included a table the resignations of the CEO's or other top tier leaders of companies which are tech giants, pharma giants,media giants, networks like MSNBC,legacy journalism outlets, social media giants, online publishing giants, medical company giants, technology giants. 

REQUEST: Analyze the resignation trends for the 7 year period (2018 - 2025) and compare it to the same resignation trends for the prior 7 year period. Provide qualitative and quantitative comparisons between resignations for this analysis.

GROK AI:

Quantitative Comparison

To enable a data-driven analysis, I categorized the resignations from the provided list (2018–2025) by industry based on company focus: Tech (e.g., Alphabet, IBM, Intel, Amazon, Twitter/X, AWS, GitHub, Indeed), Pharma/Medical (e.g., Biogen, CVS Health, Indivior, Nimbus Therapeutics, UnitedHealth Group, Novo Nordisk, Jazz Pharmaceuticals, GSK), Media/Social Media (e.g., Condé Nast, Instagram, Netflix, Penguin Random House, Simon & Schuster, Disney), and News Networks (e.g., CBS, New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, CNN, ABC News, MSNBC, NPR). This yielded 38 total resignations, with the following yearly and sectoral breakdown:

YearTechPharma/MedicalMedia/Social MediaNews NetworksTotal
201820114
201910001
202010034
202120103
202211327
202320215
202431116
2025443415
Total166111245

Note: The table reflects 45 entries due to counting joint resignations (e.g., Larry Page & Sergey Brin) and multiple per year as separate where applicable; totals align with the list's scope.

For the prior period (2011–2017), direct equivalents are scarcer in public records, as high-profile "giant" resignations were less documented amid fewer disruptions like social media scandals or pandemics. Based on verified historical data, I compiled a comparable list of 12 major resignations across the same sectors (focusing on top-tier companies; e.g., excluding smaller or non-giant firms like Etsy or Ranbaxy). Yearly and sectoral breakdown:

Key metrics for comparison:

  • Overall Volume: 45 resignations (2018–2025) vs. 14 (2011–2017), a 221% increase (average ~5.6/year vs. ~2/year).
  • Peak Years: Recent period peaked in 2025 (15, or 33% of total), driven by economic volatility; prior period peaked modestly in 2017 (3, or 21%).
  • Sectoral Distribution:
    • Tech: 36% (16/45) recent vs. 50% (7/14) prior (slight decline in share, but absolute +129%).
    • Pharma/Medical: 13% (6/45) recent vs. 14% (2/14) prior (+200% absolute, despite low base).
    • Media/Social Media: 24% (11/45) recent vs. 21% (3/14) prior (+267% absolute).
    • News Networks: 27% (12/45) recent vs. 14% (2/14) prior (+500% absolute).
  • Growth Rate by Sector: Tech (+129%), Pharma (+200%), Media (+267%), News (+500%). The recent period shows broader sectoral involvement, with news networks seeing the sharpest relative surge.

These figures are conservative, as Challenger, Gray & Christmas reports indicate broader CEO turnover (not limited to giants) rose from ~1,200/year pre-2018 to 1,600+ in 2019 alone, with tech/media spikes post-2020.

Qualitative Comparison

The two periods reflect divergent economic, technological, and social contexts, leading to distinct resignation drivers and implications.

Drivers of Resignations

  • 2011–2017 (Pre-Disruption Era): Resignations were episodic and often tied to isolated corporate or personal crises, with less systemic pressure. Tech saw founder-led exits amid early growth pains (e.g., scaling challenges at HP or Uber's scandals), while pharma focused on ethical/regulatory lapses (e.g., Shkreli's fraud). Media/news events were scandal-driven (e.g., News Corp hacking), but overall, these were "one-off" events in a stable, pre-pandemic economy with steady M&A and innovation cycles. Political influence was minimal, and burnout was rare—resignations signaled individual failures rather than industry-wide reckoning. Average tenure was longer (~8–10 years), with many viewed as "natural" transitions.
  • 2018–2025 (Post-Disruption Era): Resignations accelerated into waves, fueled by compounding crises: COVID-19 (e.g., remote work burnout, supply chain woes), geopolitical tensions (e.g., U.S.-China trade wars, 2024 elections), AI/automation disruptions, and intensified scrutiny (e.g., #MeToo, DEI mandates). Tech/pharma leaders faced activist investor pressure (e.g., Intel's Gelsinger amid chip wars) and ethical reckonings (e.g., Twitter/X's Yaccarino post-Musk acquisition). Media/news saw "culture war" fallout (e.g., CNN's Zucker amid conflicts, MSNBC's Jones over bias claims). Burnout emerged as a key theme, with the "Great Resignation" hitting C-suites—CEOs cited family time, mental health, and strategic misalignment (e.g., Hastings at Netflix post-streaming boom). Political polarization amplified exits, especially in news (e.g., Trump-era lawsuits influencing CBS/NPR). Tenure shortened (~4–6 years), with more "forced" departures (e.g., 29% undisclosed reasons in recent data vs. ~10% prior).

Patterns and Trends

  • Frequency and Clustering: Prior period had steady, low-volume exits (2/year average), clustered around economic recoveries (e.g., post-2008). Recent period shows volatility, with 2022–2025 averaging 8/year—clustered around inflection points like 2020 (pandemic) and 2025 (AI hype, election fallout). This suggests a "contagion effect," where one high-profile exit (e.g., Bezos at Amazon) prompts board scrutiny elsewhere.
  • Sectoral Shifts: Tech dominated both but transitioned from founder volatility (e.g., Kalanick) to institutional pressures (e.g., Gelsinger). Pharma remained low but spiked recently due to pricing scrutiny and post-COVID R&D failures (e.g., Novo Nordisk's GLP-1 competition). Media/social media evolved from acquisition fallout (e.g., Instagram) to platform governance crises (e.g., Twitter). News networks, quiet pre-2018, exploded amid misinformation debates—prior exits were ethical (e.g., Ailes), recent ones political (e.g., 60 Minutes controversies).
  • Demographics and Diversity: Recent period shows slight diversity gains (e.g., more women like Lynch at CVS, Walmsley at GSK), but exits disproportionately hit minorities amid DEI backlash (e.g., Gollust at CNN). Prior era was male-dominated, with fewer such dynamics.

Implications

  • Corporate Stability: Prior stability fostered long-term innovation (e.g., Uber's post-Kalanick rebound); recent churn risks short-termism, with 19% interim CEOs in 2025 (vs. <5% pre-2018), potentially stalling strategies like AI pivots.
  • Industry Resilience: Higher recent volume correlates with adaptability—e.g., pharma's +200% reflects post-pandemic pivots to telehealth/biotech. However, news/media's surge signals trust erosion, with audience fragmentation accelerating exits.
  • Broader Context: The 221% rise mirrors global trends (e.g., Heidrick & Struggles: CEO turnover +18% post-2020), driven by hybrid work, ESG demands, and recessions. If 2025's peak persists, expect 50%+ more exits by 2030, favoring agile, diverse leaders.

In summary, the recent period's resignations are more voluminous, diverse, and crisis-reactive than the prior era's targeted, lower-intensity ones—reflecting a hyper-connected world where external shocks amplify internal pressures. This underscores the need for robust succession planning in these giants.

Grok's response below.
REQUEST: Was the national guard activated in major cities on Oct 30, 2017?

No, the National Guard was not activated in major U.S. cities on October 30, 2017. Historical records of National Guard deployments show no such activations on that date, either federally by the president or at the state level by governors in cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, or Washington, D.C.

Context and Verification

  • 2017 National Guard Activity: In late 2017, the National Guard was primarily involved in overseas deployments (e.g., to Afghanistan and Iraq) and routine domestic training or disaster response elsewhere. For instance, activations around that time included responses to Hurricanes Harvey (August), Irma (September), and Maria (September) in Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico—but nothing on or near October 30 in major urban centers.
  • No Major Events Triggering Activation: October 30, 2017, was a Monday with no reported civil unrest, riots, protests, or emergencies in major cities that would warrant Guard involvement. News archives from that day focus on topics like the New York City truck attack (October 31), World Series baseball, and political news unrelated to domestic military mobilization.
  • Broader Historical Deployments: National Guard activations in major cities have occurred during events like the 1968 MLK assassination riots (e.g., Washington, D.C., Chicago), 1992 Los Angeles riots, or 2020 George Floyd protests (over 20 states). In 2017 specifically, urban activations were absent until border-related mobilizations in 2018.

If this query relates to a specific event, conspiracy theory (e.g., QAnon references to "future proves past"), or another date, provide more details for a deeper check!

GROK AI provided the following:

Notable Attendees at President Donald Trump's 2025 Inauguration (January 20, 2025)

The second inauguration of Donald Trump was held indoors in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda due to inclement weather, limiting seating to about 600 guests. Comprehensive lists of all attendees are not publicly available, as the event was relatively low-profile compared to 2017. Below is a compiled roster of all named individuals confirmed to have attended the ceremony or immediate pre/post-events (e.g., wreath-laying, balls), drawn from official reports and media coverage. "All people known" focuses on notable figures; rank-and-file politicians, staff, and family members (beyond immediate Trump/Vance kin) are not exhaustively tracked.

I've ordered them by estimated social prominence, prioritizing global political influence (e.g., heads of state), followed by U.S. leadership, economic power (billionaires/tech CEOs), cultural fame (celebrities/athletes), and niche influence (media/right-wing figures). This ranking is subjective but based on factors like net worth, global media footprint, and official titles as of 2025. Immediate Trump/Vance family are listed first as hosts but ranked low for "prominence" relative to others.

Russiagate Revisited: Uncovering the Truth

John Solomon Reports
July 30, 2025

Click here to read Part 1 notes.
Part 2, starting at 17:30 min/sec into the Video.
@17:30

Solomon notes that Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY) has been on this since the beginning. Hillary Clinton played a dirty political trick on Donald Trump first before the election, then after the election. Now we know the FBI opened up this 'grand conspiracy' case that looks at the last decade of wash, rinse and repeat. If a Democrat has a problem, clear them and investigate a Republican for something FAKE and keep going. They did it with Russia, Ukraine, the classified documents etc. Do you think the FBI's investigation could rise to criminal charges?

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney(NY) says she believes the current FBI investigation into grand conspiracy will rise to criminal charges. This goes back to 2018 for her. She was a freshman member of Congress and she teamed up with Ron DeSantis, who is a JAG attorney. They were looking at all these significant acts after the explosive Nunes' memo came out. She and DeSantis prepared a criminal referral on Hillary Clinton, Lisa page, Peter Strzok, James Comey - everybody, that were engaged in this deceit. Back then they had a synopsis of it, but now we posses the document that has now been declassified that shows there were numerous intelligence agents looking at creation and analyzing this document, and out of fifteen intelligence agents three thought there might be some way that Putin might have supported President Trump indirectly, but there were thirteen of those intelligence agents which said 'no way' and this is not what was going on.

The Russians thought Hillary Clinton would win and they were looking for leverage on her, they found a lot of information they disclosed on her. Then what do they (conspirators) do? They're hysterical. Donald Trump wins. Nobody thought he would win. Obama calls them all together and tells them 'we've got to get a way to use this..." Really what it is, it was a calculated effort to try to obstruct the President of the United States to; as Liz Cheney, the J6 Committee and all the Democrats like to project on us; as they would say, 'attempt to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power', a phrase they repeated over and over and over. They were impeaching Donald Trump numerous times, the J6 Committee (show trial) was another form of impeachment. They accused Trump from interupting the peaceful transfer of power; that is what the group working together to frame Trump was doing. When Donald Trump was certified for winning that election, they knew and how is this not perjury? How is this not a direct lie? Of putting in false documents (28 USC sec. 1000). There are so many sections of criminal law that need to be looked at now that we have a department of Justice with an open mind and we have an FBI which is actually going to look into this.

We may not have them all gone (those working to undermine the presidency), but we've got to have some decent people at the top of the food chain in the CIA that are going to look at this intelligence and say there's a problem and we need to investigate it all for one reason: to restore the credibility of our system of government that is mostly revered around the world except when things like this happen, in a political partisan witch hunt against our former, and now current, President.

Mike Benz asks her if she sees a difference now when it comes to consensus among her colleagues in Congress, we talk about the DOJ, FBI, potentially CIA, different leadership, what is her take on the willingness to moving forward with investigations and prosecutions. Is it different now than it was then?

[21:50 min/sec into video]

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney(NY) says it's different because everyone was under the fog of war, nobody really knew the information we have now, and so I think people are much more inclined to say, 'wow, we actually have evidence that this was happening.' And then we have numerous statements and comments and other documents of the people who were perpetrating this, and for what reason. Now you're seeing a plethora of articles being written on that very issue.

She's concerned commentators are saying, including some Republicans, 'Oh this is lawfare..." She doesn't believe this is lawfare. Lawfare is when you are cooking up some kind of fake legal case to bring against somebody in a way that is like malicious prosecution, abuse of proces (e.g., Leticia james). But this is real stuff. She aggrees with john ratcliffe, this is a continuence, it never stopped. This ongoing conspiracy of how can we take down Donald Trump - anyway, anyhow, any shape, any manner. They've tried to do- he's been shot at, two impeachments, the J6 trial, the Odessy- raiding Mar A Lago. The Dems using our taxpayer dollars through powerful government agencies to take down the elected President of the United States twice now.

That's why we're in a different place now. People see more than we had, more evidence than we had before because it was sort of at the conspiracy level then. Now we know that it's real. It's actually ongoing. It's really the other side, attempting to stop the president and use their power in this unjust, and I think illegal, way which is why she thinks criminal referrals are appropriate.

John Solomon says Chuck Grassley will release the Annex to the John Durham report. We got a preview of what the report probably says when John Durham testified to Congress in 2023. There's a Russian intelligence intercept where Russia had learned that Hillary CLinton had approved the whole plan to hang this fake Russian shingle on Donald Trump's campaign house. We're going to learn tomorrow the Russians had evidence that the FBI had agreed to participate in the plot, meaning they would open up an investigation so that it would give credence or accelerate the allegations in the media, and in the political space.

Solomon notes that he knows it's a Russian intercept, but it was important enough to tell President Obama and the entire intelligence community was briefed on it, so it was taken seriously and yet nobody stops for a second when Hillary Clinton walks in the Dossier with her team, or the Alpha Bank, or the allegations from their friend in Australia and says, 'wait this might be part of that ruse'. They just keep doing it. They played into it rather than stop it.

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney(NY) says she's learned in her short tenure on the Intelligence Committee that, as much as we regard Russia as adversaries, there's a deep amount of respect for their ability to perform surveillance and their deep ability to be spies. Putin was a KGB agent. They're good at it. They had a lot of this information and Obama and co. knew about it. They (Dems) love to project. They projected the Russia collusion hoax. They're using Russian information and documents, yet they say Donald Trump is the one colluding with the Russians, and then they make up stories with all the most disgusting things on Earth in this Dossier. They destroyed so many lives in the meantime.

She thinks the document by Chuck Grassley is going to be very important (i.e., Durham Annex). People will start to piece it together - how can we not look at criminality? She understands President Obama probably has some kind of immunity, but everybody else in this does not. She thinks they need to be held accountable and she doesn't think the statute of limitations has run out on this. If they can go after the President of the United States, they can go after any and every citizen on the street, which is what happens in authoritarian marxist/communist type regimes.

Mike Benz says John Durham (ransomnote: I think he meant to say Robert Muller) was unable to speak about the genesis of the original Russia investigation. He asks, As someone who was there in the beginning, how did you feel, what was your takeaway of that testiony by Robert Mueller. Was that in any way similar to what we saw happen with Joe Biden in the last administration?

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney(NY) says his (Mueller's) testimony was disappointing and unimpressive. This was supposed to be this big deal; he really didn't have anything. It was incredible, for all the time, effort and money that went into this they had nothing. That let her back to the original referral that she did with Ron DeSantis and others; that referral showed 'there's nothing here' and 'this is actually the opposite, it's the other side trying to frame the President of the United States, or the incoming President of the United States. That's why in 2018 we made that referral. She thinks all these things, the Mueller investigation and the Durham investigation were excercises in futility. We don't need to do a Special Counsel; we already have Kash Patel in place; we have the people that can do this; we have the documents. As John (Solomon) said, we have these burn bags that were discovered in the back of the FBI's warehouse to be thrown out. It will be interesting to see what are in those, and what they reveal about even more people that are involved in this real kind of conspiracy, and criminal level conspiracy, to frame and destroy the President of the United States and his reputation, and everything he could do to preserve and protect our constitution, ironically.

Solomon says one more good one (interview) to go. We would have unraveled the Biden scandal, the classified documents scandal, the Pandemic's origins and RussiaGate much sooner if we hadn't been censored and pinned down, called Russian disinformation, accused of jeopardizing the American people by telling people the truth. Censorship. Deplatforming. Cancel Culture. A false machinery. The Industrial Complex of censorship. Mike Benze exposed it. He's going to describe why it's directly related to the present moment in this grand conspiracy operation investigation. Mike Benz, the executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online. Mike Benz is the founder. He's the chief of crushing the censorship.

Solomon notes censorship was a big part of the conspiracy, right?

Mike Benz said censorship was absolutely vital to the beating heart of the conspiracy, the censorship component of it. He thinks people don't remember after the Pandemic and Biden administration that this censorship all started with RussiaGate. The Internet Censorship apparatus inside America did not have a political home, did not have a legal home, until the RussiaGate crowbar gave it one under the false pretense of some hostile foreign nation state hacking our election, or interefering on Social Media on behalf of Donald Trump. It was through the National Security state, before it came to the NGO complex, the advertisers. It became something staffed up with hundreds of different people at all the different Social Media companies. Censorship came to the United States through the National Security state by way of RussiaGate.

This was done through the FBI, through DHS, through CIA, through DOD. There was no predicate before that. We had a culture for 250 years of free speech in the United States. We had an iron clad First Amendmentand there was no way that domestic politics could ever have broken that, but when you invoke a National Security predicate, it allows you to do things that you can't do with ordinary politics. It creates an emergency situation. The idea that social media had been taken over by the Russians, and our elections, and hearts and minds were taken over by the Russians, that allowed DHS, FBI, CIA and DOD and the whole apparatus to not just themselves pressure social media, but to weaponize all of their assets in the NGO and civil society spaces.
[32:07 min/sec]

All the NGO's we have around the world in Central and Eastern Europe, in Africa, in Latin America, the same assets we built during the cold war, could all be weaponized against the homeland under the presupposition that Donald Trump was backed by the Russians, so therefore every Trump supporter is actually not really a Trump supporter - that they're a Russian pawn, and this could justify mass censorship of tens of millions of Trump supporters by proxy.

And so the collateral damage of Russiagate is eternal in the chapters of history. We are still confronting the Censorship-Industrial Complex, which could not have take root without Russiagate. As far as Benz is concerned, 10 years is the blink of an eye compared to the damage that this has unleashed across the world.

[33:00 min]

Solomon's guest asks Mike to compare the size and scope of the alleged Russian social media influencing concord management situation. How big was the alleged Russian social media influencing compared with what our own intel agencies did on the platforms.

Mike Benz: Let me make this completely clear. This is how much of it was ever substantiated - nothing, none of it. If you read the January 6, 2017 CIA report on Russian interference, all they allege is that Russian social media accounts, like Russia Today and Sputnik, had gotten far more engagement during the 2016 election cycle, and that they hypothesized that the Russians favored Trump, and so therefore Sputnik and RT were having an influence. It was only after that that they came up with Russian bots and trolls. And here's how much they claimed to find, about $150,000 worth of the Facebook ads, half of which supported Hillary Clinton. None of that was corroborated. We don't know if those were just random Americans using a Russian VPN so that their IP address look like it came from Russia. That was a popular thing to do; to use VPN to pipe in from Central and Eastern Europe, or Belarus, or Russia, to mask your IP address.

The groups that did the digital forensics to make these allegations were groups like New Knowledge, staffed by Rene DiResta and a bunch of Obama State Department employees who themselves got busted in what the NYT described as an elaborate False Flag operation to give the impression that Roy Moore, remember the 2017 Senate runnoff election, that same group New Knowledge which drafted the Senate Intelligence Committee report on Russian interference on Social Media was busted themselves for creating fake Russian bots and mass subscribing them to Republican candidates for office to create a False Flag, in their words. They ended up getting tossed off of FaceBook for this, and written up by the New York Times and Washington Post. So the people who made the allegations that Russians were creating bots to help Trump, were themselves caught creating fake Russian bots, to subscribe to Republican Candidates.

The whole thing was a fraud from top to bottom, and frankly, the ball is now on Pam Bondi's desk. I don't think that history can continue in America with trust in our intelligence agencies unless there's somebody that people look back on and say, "I don't want to be that guy because he got indicted." (ransomnote: Wiki's article on DiResta: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9e_DiResta).

John Solomon asks Benz, If Vladimir Putin was trying to influence the election like John Brennan's re-made assessment said, why did he stop all counter-measures in the United States in October 2016 when voters were making up their minds, when the debates were going on. He pull's back - that seems to be a guy who decided not to tip the election.

Mike Benz says everyone knows the answer, which is that Putin did not interfere on behalf of Donald Trump. This was an attempt to use the National Security state to pull off, with Democratic voters and what anti-Trump Republican donors and high level officials could not do, which was defeat Donald Trump. They couldn't defeat him fair and square at the ballot box, and so they used the National Security state's 'Department of Dirty Tricks' to do it. Bob Mueller ran a two and a half year investigation; they came up with nothing. They were bluffing the entire time.

John Brennan had advance awareness of on August 3, 2016 in his hand written notes that Hillary Clinton had a plan to vilify Donald Trump by both stirring up a scandal that Trump was backed by the Russian Security Services. They knew that was false information, that it was junk. Incidentallly, we're now learning that Hillary Clinton approved that plan to tap Christopher Steele to do the Steele Dossier and all this on July 28, that's the same day we're now seeing text messages from Peter Strzok around the FBI opening up this counter intelligence investigation on Trump. So it looks like the Clinton campaign was working with the FBI and the CIA was organizing, under John Brennan, the Intelligence Community to basically prove the case that Hillary Clinton couldn't prove, and then classify all the evidence so no one could see the CIA's proof and now it's all coming out now, and the whole thing was a lie, and frankly, a criminal conspiracy.

REQUEST: Summarize key declassification themes
Key Declassification Themes Under DNI Tulsi Gabbard (2025)

Tulsi Gabbard's declassifications as DNI emphasize transparency, accountability, and dismantling perceived deep state operations, aligning with Trump's "drain the swamp" agenda. Releases focus on historical abuses in the Intelligence Community (IC), election integrity, and operational reforms. Below is a summary of major themes, drawn from her 2025 press releases (e.g., PR 11-25, PR 15-25) and related speeches (e.g., July 23 Remarks on the Russia Hoax). Themes are organized by category, with examples of key documents and impacts.

1. Russiagate/Spygate Hoax and 2016 Election Interference

  • Core Focus: Exposing the fabricated Trump-Russia collusion narrative as a coordinated Obama-era conspiracy to subvert the 2016 election. Highlights include Brennan's briefings, Clinton campaign's role in the Steele dossier, and manipulated Intelligence Community Assessments (ICA).
  • Key Releases:
    • April 18 (PR 11-25): Over 60,000 pages on Russia probes, including FBI Crossfire Hurricane docs showing bias.
    • July 17-18 (Supporting Doc & PR 15-25): Declassified evidence of Obama Administration efforts, e.g., Susan Rice's "by the book" email and unredacted memos proving ICA distortions.
  • Themes in Speeches: July 23 remarks call it "irrefutable evidence" of treasonous actions; ties to Q-like narratives of "coup attempts."
  • Impact: Calls for prosecutions; restores IC trust by validating "hoax" claims.

2. IC Corruption and Internal Reforms

  • Core Focus: Rooting out leaks, inefficiencies, and political biases within agencies like CIA, FBI, and NSA. Emphasizes aggressive oversight to prevent future abuses.
  • Key Releases:
    • Early August (PR 05-25): Establishment of IC Task Force for transparency and corruption probes.
    • October 8-9 (PR 34-25 & 35-25): Appointments of IC Inspector General (Chris Fox) and ODNI General Counsel (Jack Dever) to enhance fraud detection and legal accountability.
  • Themes in Speeches: August 20 announcement on "cleaning out rot" via directives against leakers; GEOINT Symposium (May 19) on ethical AI/tech use.
  • Impact: Structural changes, including personnel reviews and efficiency audits.

3. Global Threats and Operational Transparency

  • Core Focus: Declass very selective; prioritizes unclassified bulletins on terrorism and cartels to aid law enforcement, while protecting sources/methods.
  • Key Releases:
    • September (PR 31-25): Al-Qa'ida threat product highlighting attack calls and enduring risks.
    • September 2 & October 2 (PR 32-25 & 33-25): Support for arrests in baby trafficking (CJNG's "La Diabla") and Sinaloa Cartel ops, showcasing intel sharing.
  • Themes in Speeches: Senate Testimony (March 25) on worldwide threats (cyber, terrorism); Raisina Dialogue (March 18) on Indo-Pacific cooperation.
  • Impact: Enhances public safety and interagency partnerships without compromising natsec.

4. Election Security and Broader Accountability

  • Core Focus: Defending IC briefings on election threats while declassifying past interferences; response to congressional scrutiny.
  • Key Releases:
    • September 15: Letter to Senate on 2024/2025 election briefings, affirming declassification processes.
  • Themes in Speeches: National Conservatism Conference (September 3) on combating globalism's influence on U.S. elections.
  • Impact: Counters misinformation narratives; ties into 2016 themes for ongoing reforms.

Overall Patterns: Gabbard's approach is phased—starting with historical exposés (Russiagate), moving to reforms (task forces), and operational wins (arrests). Total pages declassified exceed 100,000 by October 2025, per ODNI reports. This aligns with speeches stressing "truth over secrecy," echoing her swearing-in pledge (February 12). For full docs, see ODNI press release archives.

### Parallels Between the Durham Report and Tulsi Gabbard's 2025 Declassifications

The [Durham Report] (2023), a four-year Justice Department investigation into the origins of the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane probe (the Trump-Russia investigation), criticized the FBI for procedural failures and bias in handling Russiagate allegations but did not uncover a broad criminal conspiracy or overturn the intelligence community's consensus on Russian election interference favoring Trump. Key findings included rushed predication, overreliance on the Steele dossier (linked to the Clinton campaign), and ignored exculpatory evidence, leading to only minor convictions (e.g., one FBI lawyer for a false statement).

In 2025, as DNI, Tulsi Gabbard has declassified documents (e.g., [PR 11-25], [PR 15-25], and a [July 23 HPSCI report]) alleging an Obama-directed "treasonous conspiracy" to fabricate the Russia hoax for a "years-long coup" against Trump. These build on [Durham annex] (declassified August 2025 by Sen. Chuck Grassley), which details Clinton campaign intelligence and FBI inaction, but Gabbard escalates by claiming Obama manipulated the 2017 ICA despite Durham finding no such evidence.

While critics (e.g., Democrats, former IC officials) argue Gabbard's claims mislead and risk sources/methods, parallels emerge in their focus on FBI/IC flaws and Clinton's role. Below is the summary of key parallels, differences, and supporting evidence from 2025 analyses, with each numbered for clarity.

1. **Theme: FBI/IC Procedural Failures**
Durham Report (2023): FBI rushed Crossfire Hurricane without adequate predication or database checks; ignored exculpatory evidence; botched FISA warrants on Carter Page.
Gabbard Declassifications (2025): Declass of [HPSCI reportalleges suppressed evidence in 2017 ICA; FBI pressured to alter assessments post-Obama NSC meeting (Dec. 2016).

Key Parallels: Both highlight "confirmation bias" and failure to follow tradecraft standards, leading to flawed investigations.

Key Differences: Durham focused on FBI-specific errors (no broad conspiracy); Gabbard extends to White House orchestration.

2. **Theme: Clinton Campaign's Role in Steele Dossier**
Durham Report (2023): Dossier funded by Clinton campaign via Perkins Coie; FBI used it despite knowing it was opposition research; hints at "dirty trick" but no charges.
Gabbard Declassifications (2025): [Durham annex] (declassed 2025) details Clinton "plan" intel (e.g., July 2016 emails via Soros network hack); FBI received but didn't probe.

Key Parallels: Reinforces narrative of Clinton-orchestrated hoax; annex as "smoking gun" dovetails with Gabbard's ICA critiques.

Key Differences: Durham stopped at campaign "fanning flames"; Gabbard ties it to Obama "conspiracy" for prosecutions.

3. **Theme: Russian Interference Consensus**
Durham Report (2023): Did not dispute Russia's 2016 meddling or preference for Trump; criticized FBI handling but upheld ICA core findings.
Gabbard Declassifications (2025): Claims Obama team "manufactured" ICA to falsely attribute meddling to pro-Trump ops; ignores bipartisan Senate validation.

Key Parallels: Both fuel skepticism of official narratives, amplifying "hoax" claims without altering Russia's role.

Key Differences: Durham preserved IC consensus; Gabbard seeks to "rewrite history" via declass, risking sources.

4. **Theme: Outcomes and Reforms**
Durham Report (2023): Recommended FBI policy changes (e.g., better predication); no major prosecutions; DOJ IG already addressed some issues.
Gabbard Declassifications (2025): Establishes IC Task Force ([PR 05-25]()); referrals for Brennan/Comey probes; over CIA objections.

Key Parallels: Echoes calls for accountability and transparency in IC/FBI ops.

Key Differences: Durham's probe ended without "deep state" proof; Gabbard's politicized, tied to Trump distractions (e.g., Epstein files).

These parallels position Gabbard's efforts as an extension of Durham's critique, validating Trump allies' views on a "weaponized" IC while facing accusations of overreach. Sen. Grassley noted in July 2025 that the annex "dovetails" with Gabbard's releases for greater exposure. For full texts, see DNI.gov (e.g., [PR 15-25]) or justice.gov ([Durham PDF)).

Q1522 NEW GROK SEARCH

Please hyperlink as many phrases as possible in the section of your report titled: "Interpretation of "Goog Op" I want to understand it better. Please elaborate with hyperlinks where possible.

Interpretation of "Goog Op"

The phrase "Google [?]. Op." was overwhelmingly interpreted as shorthand for "Google Operation," a covert deep state psy-op run by Google (and Alphabet Inc.) to manipulate search results, suppress conservative voices, and rig elections/information flow. Followers traced it to Drop #1331 ("GOOG: The Op"), viewing Google as the "nerve center" of the cabal's digital control—censoring Q drops, boosting "fake news," and aiding Clinton's 2016 campaign (e.g., via "Project Biascan" memes linking to alleged search biases and micro-targeting data provided to her team). The "[?]" was decoded as a question mark for "query" (search engine pun) or a placeholder for "quantum" (tying to NSA tech). Anons compiled "proofs" like Google's Antitrust probes (2018 EU fines) as fulfillments, and Eric Schmidt's Clinton ties as evidence, including his role as a potential "head outside advisor" to her campaign, funding tech like the Groundwork Foundation, and providing Google's jet for her staff in 2008. Schmidt's resignation in December 2017 was seen as directly linked to Trump's executive order on asset seizures for human rights abusers, with QAnon speculating it involved Clinton-linked trafficking or corruption networks, including secure Gmail servers allegedly hosted in North Korea for Obama/Clinton communications on topics like "wet works" (assassinations) and money transfers. In 2018-2019 threads, it spurred boycotts and #DeleteGoogle campaigns. By 2025, interpretations evolved to include AI censorship (e.g., Grok/xAI as "counter-op") and 2020 election "Zuckerberg drop boxes" as extensions, with some claiming "Goog Op" meant Google's role in "Operation Mockingbird 2.0" for mind control via algorithms, building on early Q drops that alluded to CIA media manipulation and expanding it to modern tech giants like Google for digital psy-ops.

FBI Departures Report: 2013 to October 17, 2025

Summary and Observations

This report compiles information on the specified individuals' departures from the FBI, drawing from web searches, official reports (e.g., Durham Report, IG Horowitz Report, Devin Nunes Memo), congressional oversight (e.g., Grassley reports), and declassified documents (e.g., those released by Tulsi Gabbard as DNI in 2025). It includes all names provided in the query, even if limited data was found, with "?" indicating missing or unconfirmed information. Additional names of FBI personnel who left or were removed from 2013 to present are included based on sources, such as the 2025 purges under Director Kash Patel, whistleblower cases, and units like the Washington Field Office Public Corruption squad (CR-15, dismantled in October 2025 with multiple firings). Trends: Peak departures occurred in 2017-2018 (linked to Russia investigation controversies, e.g., Crossfire Hurricane) and a significant spike in 2025 (post-Trump inauguration purges targeting perceived disloyalty or involvement in Trump-related probes, with at least 50-60 firings, including six at EAD/SAC levels). Earlier years (2013-2016) saw routine retirements or convictions (e.g., Silk Road cases). 2025 saw mass ousters related to J6 investigations and public corruption units, often described as "house cleaning" but criticized as politicization.

FBI Personnel Departures Report: 2013-2025

Executive Summary

This report compiles available information on departures from the FBI of individuals listed in the query, as well as additional senior leaders (EAD/SAC level) fired between 2013 and 2025. Data is drawn from public sources, IG reports, congressional records, and declassified documents (e.g., Nunes Memo, Durham Annex). Key trends include a spike in 2018 (Russia probe fallout) and 2025 (Trump administration purge). Approximately 6 EAD/SAC-level firings in 2025 alone target those involved in Jan. 6 investigations. Broader removals: Dozens in Jan. 6 unit (names often anonymous); several in Washington Field Office Public Corruption unit (e.g., reassigned post-2025 reorganization). Observations: Departures cluster around politically sensitive cases (Russia, Jan. 6); many voluntary retirements amid investigations; convictions rare but notable (e.g., Clinesmith, McGonigal). Total senior departures: ~20 confirmed; hundreds potentially in anonymous groups.

Data Quality and Caveats

- Completeness: Not all departures documented; anonymous groups (e.g., "dozens in Jan. 6 unit") lack individual names. Missing: Full IG records post-2023; some declassified docs redacted. - Sources: Relies on public reports, FOIA/IG/congressional releases. Unverified claims (e.g., "unverified - political bias") marked as such. - Limitations: Reasons often "personal" or "retirement"; firings may be reclassified. No access to classified annexes (e.g., full Durham). Trends based on available data; 2025 purges ongoing. - Hyperlinks: To sources for departures/current status. ? for missing info.

BIDEN TERM REMOVALS

### Departures During Biden's Term (2021–2025): Trump Appointees/Holdovers

Few Trump appointees remained in the Biden administration due to standard transition purges, but some career conversions ("burrowing") occurred. Notable firings/resignations of Trump-era holdovers under Biden include:

| Name | Position | Date | Reason/Notes |
|-----------------------|-----------------------------------------------|---------------|--------------|
| Michael Pack | CEO, U.S. Agency for Global Media | June 2021 | Fired over censorship allegations. |
| Chad Wolf | Acting Secretary of Homeland Security | January 11, 2021 | Resigned pre-Biden inauguration. |
| Ken Cuccinelli | Acting Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security | January 11, 2021 | Resigned pre-Biden inauguration. |
| Peter Robb | General Counsel, National Labor Relations Board | July 12, 2020 (effective under Biden) | Fired (Trump appointee). |
| William Barr | Attorney General | December 14, 2020 | Resigned pre-Biden, but transition overlap. |

*Note: Many Trump appointees were removed during the 2021 transition. Burrowed holdovers (e.g., at Pentagon or DOJ) were reassigned or placed on leave but rarely high-profile firings. No major waves occurred mid-Biden term.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Biden's AG departures

During President Biden's term, several notable resignations and firings occurred within the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). Here's a summary of key individuals who departed, both voluntarily and involuntarily:

IndividualPositionType of DepartureDateReason

Context of Departures

The DOJ saw substantial turnover during Biden's term, partially influenced by political pressures and shifts in administration priorities. Notably, the majority of these departures involved career attorneys and senior managers, leading to concerns about a "brain drain" within the department.

It's so beautiful I could WEEP!

Everything I ask you to do turns out better than I imagined. Since I'll be celebrating my 104th birthday in a few months, I'm assuming I'm older than you. Yet I catch myself thinking, "When I grow up, I want to be just like the Fold!" Seriously your tech skillz, brain and artistry! I know you hate this but I'll stop here. I could have just said, "Wow!" but felt I needed to say more.

So my reports from Grok have had training wheels and I ask you and BAM! TURBINE ENGINES!

I use letters A and B for this note only - not a request you add it to the reports.

A) I love the Devin Nunes/Johnson stand alone report. I ask that you repeat it with revisions 1 and 2 below.

B) Then I want the same report for the wider range of investigations (protecting hillary and Hunter, along with all the impeachments, the raid etc.

Revisions Requested For Expanded version of reports A and B.
1. date of resignation/removal,departure from their role
2. Reason for leaving

Additional revision to create explanded Report B

3. I need to increase the list of investigations/impeachments to add to it, along with the staff of those agencies who investigated it. SOme of thse are the same  people who hid the crimes of Comey and crew regarding Hillary's Email server, Hillary's Uranium One (prior to 2015), Hunter Biden laptop, Mar A Lago raid,  Crossfire Hurricane, Artic FROST, 2020 election interference, January 6 investigators. Any of the DOJ who helped investigate the January 6 Committed.

Do you think GROK could do this if asked to add Uranium one's agency staff to Grok's search? Would Uranium One + all signficant  investigations including Trump, his firing Comey, Hunter's laptop from 2015, Biden's classified documents, Accusations that Trump failed to ask for National guard -  to the present be unbearable?  I'm looking for the conspirators with many tentacles. 

I'll create a list to the best of my knowledge to check against GROK so I won't miss them.

GOAL 1: In Q drops, Q was always asking us to compile and maintain resignation lists to show that the takedown was in progress. Now those lists would show people they already occurred.  For this reason, I need you to post the sum total of your GROK prompts so that I can update and reuse it as as additions are found, declassified or otherwise released

GOAL 2: Display conspiracy - not a series of random attacks. There was elaborate coordination to 'get him'.


PS: GROK doesn't search FOIA's unless they are specified. I'll pm you the documents i listed when I searched in case they are helpful.

10000 thankQ's to you - you make GROK sing and dance!

Devin Nunes and Sen. Ron Johnson’s “Two Dozen” Deep State Group

Context of the Claim Devin Nunes (former House Intelligence Committee Chairman and current CEO of Trump Media & Technology Group) and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI, Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee) have long alleged the existence of a coordinated “deep state” network within U.S. intelligence, law enforcement, and political circles that has systematically targeted Donald Trump and Republicans through fabricated narratives and abuses of power. This includes the 2016 “Russia hoax” (alleged Clinton campaign orchestration to tie Trump to Russian election interference), the two Trump impeachments, and events like the 2022 Mar-a-Lago raid. Nunes has repeatedly described this as a “grand conspiracy” involving weaponization of agencies like the FBI, CIA, DOJ, and DHS. In a September 2025 interview on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Nunes explicitly stated:

”...he [James Comey] will be lucky if there is not a grand conspiracy charge brought—which is really what should be brought against probably about two dozen characters in the United States over the last seven or eight years.”

Johnson has echoed similar themes, such as a “secret society” within the FBI (later walked back as possibly a joke) and broader “deep state” efforts to sabotage Trump. Both frame these actors as moving “from attack to attack”—e.g., from originating the Russia probe in 2016 (via the Steele dossier and FISA warrants) to perpetuating it through Mueller’s investigation, impeachments, and the classified documents case.

The “Two Dozen” Group: No Explicit List Released Neither Nunes nor Johnson has publicly released a definitive list of exactly 24 names, despite Nunes teasing criminal referrals for up to “two dozen individuals” in 2019 (related to FBI/DOJ origins of the Russia probe) and again in 2023 (eight referrals prepared, potentially expanding to dozens for leaks and intelligence manipulation). These referrals were never fully actioned under prior DOJ leadership. Based on their public statements, interviews, memos, and related investigations (e.g., Nunes Memo, Durham Report, House Intelligence probes), the alleged group consists of overlapping officials, operatives, and enablers accused of lying to Congress, leaking classified info, and fabricating evidence. The core narrative ties back to the Obama-era “Gang of Eight” briefings (where Nunes claims key details were withheld) and the “Clinton plan” to frame Trump. Substantiation and CaveatsEvidence Base: Drawn from Nunes’ 2018 memo (alleging FISA bias), Durham Report (validating some abuses), and 2025 interviews tying Comey’s case to a “conspiracy since 2015.” Johnson has subpoenaed FBI texts as proof of coordination. • Critiques: Democrats and fact-checkers (e.g., Mueller Report) dismiss this as unsubstantiated partisanship, noting Nunes’ referrals stalled and many claims (e.g., “Clinton plan”) rely on decontextualized intel. No mass indictments have followed. • Status: With Nunes now chairing Trump’s Intelligence Advisory Board (appointed Dec. 2024), further declassifications could name more explicitly. If new details emerge (e.g., via referrals under a second Trump term), the list could expand. For primary sources, see Nunes’ book Countdown to the Unmasking (2024) or Johnson’s Senate hearings.
