> This is a very good analysis. I can’t argue with a single point he makes.

looks like a more recent version of something posted about 4 weeks ago (before mar a lago raid?).

i am beginning to sense that the Deep State may want to de-legitimize not just Trump but anyone who supported Trump in 2016 and/or supports Trump now and/or supports Trump policies (eg MAGA) now.

In concrete terms that would imply that anyone who has used any social media or email to indicate support for Trump or Trump policies such as MAGA could soon be accused of being a threat to US national security interests. The offenders could be tracked down by FBI, methods validated by DNI (precedent: US v Trump 2022), indicted and thrown into jail without reasonable bail until a far away trial date (say 1+ years into the future), and prosecuted by deep pockets DOJ types. Federal courts are said to have a conviction rate of 90%, sometimes by shady (biased/unconstitutional) trial methods condoned by shady federal judges.

The deep state goal in this case seems to be to control the narrative by controlling the non-liberal political leadership. The leadership (politicians, thinkers, demonstrators) who are pro-Trump and pro-MAGA will be selected, monitored, picked off and sent to prison. without such leadership, the only voices broadcast to the masses will become the Deep State voices broadcasting Deep State messages.

I suppose we will all know when the time comes when institutions such as FR are taken down for violating so called national security considerations.

apparently, we have been blessed to be alive in interesting times...

if the FBI, DOJ and other 3 letter federal agencies are shown to be in violation of constitutional principles, it is impingent upon state entities to show these agencies the state border.

i am recalling the liberal motto “by any means necessary (which has apparently already been applied to various branches of federal and state governments, plus selected other institutions such as universities, schools, voting, banks, social media, cell phones, and so on).

camps would be too obvious

you will be canceled and/or charged based on your political/social credit score per the DHS

you will no longer be able to provide for your family and will most likely become dependents of the state

biden’s thursday speech will be a green light for a false flag which will be blamed on the violent MAGAs

reaching their final step of criminalization of political opposition

i hope you paid cash for your MAGA hat

Trump made the mistake of trusting establishment hacks when picking cabinet members, etc.

They're thinking he wouldn't make that mistake twice...so he and his followers must be torpedoed at any cost/by any means.

The corruption is so extensive, it wouldn't take much investigating to bring the whole Ponzi scheme/porn ring down.

As usual...he's making the right people...nervous.

Perhaps the last President to bring that level of anxiety from the deep state oligarchs was...Reagan JFK?

(pray)

Haven’t read it yet, but DC lives in a bubble of epic proportions. Huge bubble. They don’t know what they don’t know, even more than those in NYC or LA. I have relatives there, and they know practically nothing about the middle of the country. They think they are THE smartest people on the planet, bar none. Yet they know how to do so little that’s practical.

You are absolutely correct. The Patriot Act put FISA on steroids and focused it on American citizens.
From the Brennan Center for Justice:

The government claims that the telephone records program that was the subject of the leaked Verizon court order is authorized under the so-called “business records” provision of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), first enacted in 1978. That provision was amended by Section 215* of the Patriot Act in 2001. Section 215 allows the government to obtain a secret court order requiring third parties, such as telephone companies, to hand over any records or other “tangible thing” if deemed “relevant” to an international terrorism, counterespionage, or foreign intelligence investigation. Section 215 orders may have been combined with requests under other provisions of the Patriot Act, such as Section 216, which governs access to online activity, such as email contact information or Internet browsing histories.
With respect to PRISM, the government cites Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act, a law first passed in 2008 and reauthorized in 2012. Section 702 allows the government to acquire foreign intelligence by targeting non-U.S. persons “reasonably believed” to be outside U.S. borders. The law explicitly prohibits intentionally targeting people known to be located inside the U.S. at the time the government acquires the data. It also requires the government to establish certain “targeting procedures” to ensure that the government is targeting people “reasonably believed” to be outside the United States (which can be difficult to ascertain when dealing with internet or cell phone communications). In addition, the government must adopt “minimization procedures” to guard against the inadvertent collection, retention, and dissemination of information about U.S. persons.

I’ve been praying for six years now that Trump doesn’t eventually get the JFK Treatment.

"My God we're all going to jail"

-Hillary Clinton, when it became clear she lost the 2017 election, fearing the criminality of Crossfire Hurricane Russia Hoax.

Trump has all the documented evidence. And he still does. He has copies. He's not that stupid.

Either to label us as ‘terrorists’ or a ‘terrorist organization’ OR to do as the ZelenskyyIdiot regime did and ban all opposition parties. Buckle up.
