The ‘No Kings’ Mutant March Con Will Continue Into 2026

Townhall 

Remember those “No Kings” protests? You may not, they weren’t really relevant to people who shower and have kissed someone of the opposite sex, but to the left, they were the closest they could get to having friends or family. And since these people are otherwise devoid of meaning in their lives, they’re getting the band back together in 2026.

An email from “Our Revolution,” the anti-American group Bernie Sanders turned his campaign apparatus into, announced “The Next No Kings Day Is ON – We Need You to Power It.”

It was, like pretty much everything from the left, a plea for money. In it, however, the organizers of American destruction announce they are moving into the new year to keep the anger burning. “This just dropped: The NEXT No Kings Day has been officially announced for 2026. And Our Revolution is going ALL IN,” they wrote.

Weirdly, throughout the entire email they never once say when the new date is – just shut your mouth, obey and give them money.

Then we get to this point. “In June, 5 million people joined 2,100 No Kings Day actions across the country. Then, in October, we broke every record and turned out 7 million people in 2,700 cities.”

You likely saw those numbers reported before, reported everywhere. Just like the “Fight for $15” minimum wage fight for fast food worker raises. They were “everywhere,” according to organizers, and that they were was reported by “journalists” like they’d checked it themselves. But they didn’t. No one bothered to count or prove these “protests” happened, as the numbers of events across the country remained unchanged in press releases leading up to the event and the press releases put out after the event.

Make no mistake, news stories that announce something is going to happen on a mass scale across the country are public relations, not news. News is what happened, PR is what you want to happen.

If there were 2,700 events across the country, that breaks down to 54 event per state. Forget whether you saw a bunch of them, did you see any? I saw one, one time – a gang of mutants on a street corner. No, they weren’t hooking or else they’d starve to death, they were waving signs about how Trump and billionaires are evil with no sense of irony about being organized and subsidized by George Soros.

“Our grassroots, people-powered movement is ready to turn out MILLIONS more for No Kings Day 2026 – in every community, red states and blue. But that takes resources. Trump’s billionaire buddies have unlimited Super PACs, but we have something stronger: PEOPLE like you,” they write.

So, sending an email and posting to message boards requires a lot of money? Standing on a corner is somehow expensive? How much is posterboard these days? Don’t these “organizers” believe in the cause? Why do they need to be paid? Would they not do the minimal work were they not shoveled a pile of cash?

What does it say about a “grassroots” event if major monied organizations are throwing money at it to hire people to show up?And, perhaps most puzzling, what kind of “resources” and “training” are needed to get people to repeat what people chant?

The training, by the way, is expressly to keep the fringe of the lunatic fringe under control. It makes a “peaceful” event look a little suspect if it’s a bunch of high school teachers and wine moms carrying signs calling for the wholesale murder of the President of the United States and anyone who voted for him. That’s what they want, and what they’ll try to implement later, should they obtain power, but that’s for another day.

Their email ends, “Will you donate right now so we can recruit, train, and organize the grassroots to turn out MILLIONS more people for the third No Kings Day? Together let’s make this the biggest day of nonviolent resistance America has ever seen.”

Truly “nonviolent” movements don’t have to remind people not to be violent, for the record. Yet, Democrats are constantly having to tell their mutant army to cool it on the violence. Weird, right?

So, yes, the mutant left will continue marching in the new year – the hub of virgins will keep spinning and collecting suckers. And even bigger suckers to pay for it all.

Hopefully, the new year comes with less self induced guilt trips and less doubt.

Should We Be Defending Left-wing Europe From Right-wing Russia?

American Thinker 

While it was contrary to our Founders’ warning to avoid entangling alliances and European wars, we certainly can understand why NATO was created in 1949.

The USSR, which President Ronald Reagan would later rightly call an evil empire, appeared a burgeoning force. Ensuring his post-WWII domination of Eastern Europe, Soviet despot Joseph Stalin saw to it that communist governments rose to power, by hook or by crook, in seven nations west of his own between 1945 and 1948. And Stalin’s armies became this domination’s guarantor.

The USSR was also attempting to spread its dark creed worldwide. In fact, Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov estimated that 85 percent of the KGB’s resources were devoted not to espionage, but subversion. So stopping this aggressive leftism was a priority.

In contrast, Western Europe still shared much with the U.S. back then. Though its faith was waning, it was still Christendom, as opposed to the “atheistic communist” persecutors of the Church. It was, to use our provisional political terminology, a classic right-left dichotomy.

(Note: The right-left model is a poor way of defining reality; it reflects the relativism pervading our time. Yet if I speak of being orthodox vs. heterodox, few will know what I’m talking about. So our common political lexicon must suffice for the moment.)

But that time is long past. Approximately a generation and a half ago now, the Berlin Wall fell. The USSR is Russia again and, whatever its faults, the Bear is not spreading communism or any brand of leftism. In fact, the “union” now thus guilty is the EU. This brings us to certain questions:

With NATO’s raison d'être, the Soviets, gone, why does it still exist?

And given that our treaty obligations could draw into a (ultimately nuclear) war with the Kremlin, should we really be risking American blood defending left-wing Europe from right-wing Russia?

It’s not as if others haven’t noted Western Europe’s left-wing (read: tyrannical) shift.

In February at the Munich Security Conference, Vice President J.D. Vance castigated the woke Europeans for trampling free speech. He said the greatest threat to the continent wasn’t China or Russia, but “from within.”

Then, just this Friday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned the Europeans that mass migration was threatening their culture’s “erasure” — and the NATO alliance.

“You go to these NATO meetings, what they will tell you is — ‘our shared history, our shared legacy, our shared values, our shared priorities.’ That's what they talk about as the reason for this alliance,” Rubio told the Washington Examiner. Erase what’s shared, however, “then you just have a straight-up defense agreement,” Rubio explained. “That’s all you have.”

Really, though, how much is still shared? Is a defense agreement already all we have? Let’s examine our East-West ideological pole shift:

• European pseudo-elites have flooded their continent with millions of unassimilable foreigners, many Muslim, to the point that “no-go zones” now exist in their cities. When this is criticized, too, authorities may arrest people for anti-immigration/immigrant “hate speech.” Epitomizing this mentality, Swedish multiculturalist Mona Sahlin, commenting on her land’s Islamization in 2001, actually said that “the Swedes must be integrated into the new Sweden; the old Sweden is never coming back.” Russia, however, explicitly denounced this agenda in a 2014 document titled “Foundations of the State Cultural Policy.” It rejects “such principles as multiculturalism and tolerance,” the Kremlin stated, and those “imposing alien values on society.”
• Along with many other Europeans, Finnish politician Päivi Räsänen and Lutheran Bishop Juhana Pohjola have been charged with “hate speech” for espousing the biblical/authentically Christian view of homosexuality. Meanwhile, Russia has outlawed homosexual propaganda in media, films, books, advertising, online content, and public spaces.
• In this vein, the EU has decreed that faux (“same-sex”) “marriages” performed in any member state must be recognized by every member state. In contrast, a recent-years Russian constitutional amendment explicitly defines marriage as a man-woman union.
• While the West is now thoroughly permeated by moral relativism/nihilism — and derivatives such as cultural and religious relativism — the Kremlin has rejected it. For example, while criticizing the West in a 2013 keynote speech, Russian president Vladimir Putin said, “Policies are being pursued that place on the same level a multi-child family and a same-sex partnership, a faith in God and a belief in Satan. This is the path to degradation.”
• In Europe, Christian street preachers have been arrested, and deference is shown to Islam. In Russia, though, a law acknowledges Orthodoxy’s (Christianity’s) “special role” in the country’s history and culture. And Putin himself has warned about dispensing with “Christian values.” The 180-degree turn is so profound that The Washington Times asked on this matter in a 2014 headline, “Who’s ‘godless’ now?”
• France became in 2024 the world’s first country to make prenatal infanticide a constitutional right (New York State followed suit, too). Russia, though far from perfect on this issue, has moved to tighten abortion restrictions. Moreover, the Kremlin also encourages fecundity by paying women who have babies.
• It once made news when Russia imprisoned 54 people in 2015 for “hate speech.” In the EU today, perhaps tens of thousands are persecuted for hate speech every year. Britain leads the pack, with 12,000 arrests annually under its “Communications Act.”

So just as the Soviets did during the Cold War, today’s Russian patriots might call the West “decadent” — only, now they have a point.

Of course, some (paging Bill O’Reilly) will scoff here, saying Putin is a thuggish demagogue who takes positions of convenience, not conviction. He’s a bad man, fair enough. But I also consider U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer a bad man. In fact, few leaders have morals rising above those of a disbarred lawyer-turned used car salesman.

It’s also true that Putin’s lofty words may be mere convenient posturing. Yet how many European leaders believe all the woke drivel they disgorge? And, frankly, I’d rather have a politician supporting the right things for the wrong reasons than the wrong things for the wrong reasons.

All this said, however, the bottom line is that today’s Russia is far more traditional than post-Christian Western Europe. So while Western officials will sometimes warn, most fancifully (ginning up support for Ukraine), that the Kremlin may soon invade the West, a question should be asked:

So what?

What would be lost if, by some miracle, Russia ended up realizing Napoleon’s dream and ruled Europe?

Europeans wouldn’t be able to have their “Pride” parades (illegal in Russia) with men marching mostly naked?

The Sexual Devolution would be deep-sixed?

The Russian flag would replace the rainbow one?

Third World migration would be ended?

Borders would matter again?

Fecundity would be favored?

Christianity would be elevated?

Abortion would increasingly be anathema?

Children wouldn’t be told they could switch sexes at will?

There’s a reason the U.K. paper The Telegraph boldly wrote Wednesday that “[p]atriots should not fight for the British state.” And given this, should Americans even think about fighting for the British state—  and the rest of Europe? Should we shed American blood for a fallen continent, let alone risk nuclear war?

The prophetic G.K. Chesterton wrote in 1926 that the “madness of tomorrow is not in Moscow, but much more in Manhattan” — and now, we can add, in Brussels. Chesterton also noted that the “true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.” But this raises a final question:

Can we even hate what is in front of us now — forget loving what is behind us — without, possibly, turning around?

If the illegal migrants, sexual devolutionaries and Christophobic ne’er-do-wells want to fight to save decadent Europe, they can knock themselves out. As for yours truly, call me up when there’s a proper Crusade intent on doing what Crusades do.

US bars five Europeans it says pressured tech firms to censor American viewpoints online

 WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department announced Tuesday it was barring five Europeans it accused of leading efforts to pressure U.S. tech firms to censor or suppress American viewpoints. 

 

 Secretary of State Marco Rubio did not name those he said fell foul of a new visa policy announced in May to restrict the entry of foreigners deemed responsible for censorship of protected speech in the United States. He identified them only as “radical” activists and “weaponized” nongovernmental organizations. 

 

 

“For far too long, ideologues in Europe have led organized efforts to coerce American platforms to punish American viewpoints they oppose,” Rubio posted on X. “The Trump Administration will no longer tolerate these egregious acts of extraterritorial censorship.”

The five Europeans were later identified by Sarah Rogers, the under secretary of state for public diplomacy, in a series of posts on social media. They include a former European Union commissioner and the leaders of organizations that address digital hate. 

 

 

Rubio's statement said they advanced foreign government censorship campaigns against Americans and U.S. companies, which he said created “potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences” for the U.S.

The action to bar them from the U.S. is part of a Trump administration campaign against foreign influence over online speech, using immigration law rather than platform regulations or sanctions. 

 

 The five named by Rogers are: Imran Ahmed, chief executive of the Centre for Countering Digital Hate; Josephine Ballon and Anna-Lena von Hodenberg, leaders of HateAid, a German organization; former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton, who was responsible for digital affairs; and Clare Melford, who runs the Global Disinformation Index. 

 

 Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, those targeted will generally be barred from entering the United States, and some may face removal proceedings if already in the country. Officials said the administration could expand the list if similar foreign actions continue. 

 

 

Most Europeans are covered by the Visa Waiver Program, which means they don’t necessarily need visas to come into the country. They do, however, need to complete an online application prior to arrival under a system run by the Department of Homeland Security, so it is possible that at least some of these five people have been flagged to DHS, a U.S. official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss details not publicly released.

Other visa restriction policies were announced this year, along with bans targeting foreign visitors from certain African and Middle Eastern countries and the Palestinian Authority. Visitors from some countries could be required to post a financial bond when applying for a visa.

Leftism Promotes Psychological Abuse

American  Thinker 

What started as a joke is no longer a laughing matter: Leftism is a mental illness whose sufferers include an inordinate number of narcissists and psychopaths.  Anybody who has endured a leftist mob knows this to be true.  In the name of “racial justice,” “climate justice,” “trans justice,” “justice for ‘Palestine,’” or whatever other cause du jour the woke-sters have adopted as the next life-or-death “social justice” fad, leftists block drivers on busy highways, scream in the faces of wary pedestrians, set fire to businesses and cars, and terrorize civilians.  They threaten and harass strangers to promote “justice.”  It’s moonbat crazy.

One of the defining characteristics that separates leftists from rational people is their proclivity for completely reordering their worldview in order to conform with every tenet that reigning leftist authority figures pronounce as a new sacred “truth.”  

Twenty-five years ago, practicing leftists had no problem differentiating between men and women.  “Gender fluidity” was nothing more than an intellectual abstraction discussed vapidly among self-indulgent undergrads in “women’s studies” seminars on overpriced college campuses.  Had someone suggested to a leftist back then that men should be permitted to compete in women’s sports and change clothes in women’s locker rooms, the typical leftist would have gone on a righteous feminist rant defending women’s private spaces from male intrusion.  Yet all that conviction disappeared in a puff of smoke as soon as leftist priests told their congregants, “Yes, Virginia, men are women, too!”  Prominent institutions now describe criticism of “transgenderism” as evidence of “far-right extremism”!

Mentally stable people don’t change their belief systems on a dime.  They don’t passionately warn about “global cooling” one decade before passionately warning about “global warming” the next.  They don’t argue for a “color-blind” society capable of seeing past a person’s race only to decide that the color of a person’s skin is more important than anything else.  They don’t staunchly defend free speech before staunchly defending the censorship of anything designated as “disinformation” or “hate speech.”  But leftists do turn their entire worldviews upside down whenever the leftist priests in charge of their movement arbitrarily rewrite the commandments of the leftist faith.  Leftist orthodoxy remains in continual flux.

Leftists have plenty of excuses for their constant epistemological rewrites.  They say things such as, “We’re working at the speed of science,” to justify why everything they believed yesterday is now false and why everything they believe today will likely be false tomorrow.  One of leftists’ favorite “scientists,” astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, has made an absolute boob of himself trying to explain that humans only recently discovered that males and females are merely two social constructs within a much larger universe of “gender” identities.  The “science” of biological sex magically changed this century, and anybody who doesn’t get onboard hates “science”!

Tyson’s loony quackery resembles the pseudoscientific proclamations of COVID chameleon Dr. Anthony Fauci.  The man who worked to censor scientists who correctly concluded that the virus came from a bioweapons lab in Wuhan, China, erroneously promised that the mRNA “vaccines” were “safe and effective,” and daily justified any number of ridiculous COVID rituals for neurotic hypochondriacs — including triple-masking while alone in a personal vehicle — infamously insisted, “I am the science.”  Even after testifying that the authoritarian COVID rules mandated during the great viral scare campaign of 2020 weren’t actually based on scientific principles, the fraud-supporting doctor continues to claim that “attacks” on him are “attacks on science.”  It must be so nice to be a leftist “scientist.”  You can get away with spouting bull**it from one day to the next, and legions of devout leftist acolytes say your name with reverence, light incense in your honor, and sleep on pillows with embroidered images of your face.

Yes, leftism is a cult and a mental disorder.  Even more alarming, however, leftism promotes psychological abuse.  Perhaps you’ve heard that public officials in the United Kingdom have spent the last two decades actively covering up an epidemic of Pakistani Muslims “grooming” and gang-raping white girls in immigrant-dominated cities.  As the former head of the Crown Prosecution Service in charge of investigating one child “grooming” scandal, the current prime minister has been accused of hiding critical facts from the public.  

How has the British government responded to the crisis of foreigners raping vulnerable children?  Prime Minister Starmer’s Labour Party has blocked an inquiry into the prime minister’s questionable conduct and pushed to criminalize the discussion of Pakistani “grooming” gangs as illicit “hate speech.”  In the name of fighting “racism” and “Islamophobia,” leftists in the U.K. are committed to protecting child rapists.

As if that weren’t bad enough, though, Prime Minister Starmer and his government have decided to muddy the waters completely by pretending that the real problem isn’t Islamic immigrants raping British women and children but rather the “radicalization” of white British boys who have learned to mistreat women from viral content on social media.  That’s right, rather than recognizing that mass immigration from collapsed third-world hellholes and Islamic societies that condone rape is a recipe for national suicide, British authorities have decided that the U.K. desperately needs a public program to save white boys from the nefarious influences of online misogyny.  Instead of deporting Islamic pedophiles, the prime minister intends to re-educate British lads showing “signs of misogyny.”  As “Tyler Durden” concludes on ZeroHedge, “like racism, children in the U.K. will be programmed to believe they’re guilty of another ‘original sin,’ while rape gangs from foreign lands continue to abuse young British girls.”

Only leftists work this hard to protect violent foreigners while victimizing their own citizens over and over again.

In the land down under, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is following the U.K.’s cowardly example by punishing law-abiding citizens for the actions of ISIS-inspired Pakistani terrorists.  After two Pakistani migrants murdered at least fifteen people and wounded forty more during a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach on December 14, Albanese publicly declared that guns are to blame.  While ignoring the reality that Australia has some of the most stringent restrictions on gun ownership in the West, the prime minister promises to confiscate and destroy hundreds of thousands of firearms in the hands of native Australians.  

It’s not the Islamic terrorists’ fault that Jews were murdered!  It’s not the Australian government’s fault for preventing citizens from arming and defending themselves!  No, the fault lies entirely with responsible gun owners who must be scapegoated for the government’s own policy failures.  

Just as the United Kingdom protects Islamic pedophiles and demonizes white British boys for the harms of mass immigration, Australia will blame Islamic terrorism on law-abiding Australian gun owners.  Both incidents represent nothing less than the malicious targeting of innocent civilians and government-sanctioned psychological abuse.

This is how leftists habitually operate.  “Transgenderism” doesn’t constitute a mental health issue.  It is a problem only when mentally healthy people object to grown men using the same restrooms as little girls.  Abysmal math and reading scores among minority students in inner-city schools don’t represent a cultural crisis that must be remedied.  Instead, studying is a “white habit,” demands for good grades are a form of “white supremacy,” and widespread academic decline reflects the “disparate impacts” of a society steeped in “systemic racism.”

Leftists diagnose the wrong problems and blame the wrong people.  It’s what they do.  It would be easy to say that’s just one more symptom of the mental illness we know as leftism.  But doing so would tacitly excuse leftism’s persistent psychological abuse.  Leftists aren’t all insane.  Many know exactly what they’re doing when they blame innocent people for causing harm.  By excusing perpetrators and vilifying victims, leftists drown society with their own delusions.

Why There Will NEVER Be Indictments Against Govt Officials for “Russiagate” – And Other Crazy Stuff

posted by Sundance at Conservative Treehouse 

One of the many things I have learned, in my research and discussions about corruption in government, is that willfully blind defenders of DC corruption all seek the same way to avoid touching it.

The best way to coverup corrupt DC activity is to bury the damaging evidence under a pile of crazy that no one will touch.  That strategy works well. I’ll explain why with examples.

There is a rather large network of people, podcasters and financially dependent pundits pushing a false expectation around “Russiagate,” the collaborative Clinton/FBI operation to smear Donald Trump in the 2016 election, and then subsequently use the false Trump-Russia claims to continue targeting his administration.

CTH has outlined a very distinct difference between “Russiagate” and “Spygate.” {GO DEEP}  We remind all readers there will likely never be any indictments for the Russigate operation. To understand why, it’s best to think about the Trump targeting operation in stages:

Spygate 2012 to April 2016
♦ Russiagate Apr 2016 to May 2017 ♦
Mueller/Weissmann May 2017 to April 2019
Nadler/Schiff Impeachment Aug 2019
COVID Mail-Ballots 2020
Durham Oct 2020 – 2022
Jack Smith 2022 – 2024

Spygate is intentionally never discussed (I’ll come back to it).  However, the Russiagate phase is the part that people are most familiar with.  Unfortunately, discussing the evidence behind Russiagate became a lucrative business, and there are now people dependent on retaining Russiagate headlines based on nonsense.

There will never be a criminal indictment for anything to do with the “Russiagate” phase of the Trump targeting operation. The ‘why’ is simple:

Special Counsel John Durham brought cases against the Russiagate crew, specifically Clinton Campaign lawyer Michael Sussman. The predicate of the DOJ case was that the FBI was duped, tricked and misled by the Clinton campaign. Put another way, according to the DOJ – the FBI were victims of the Clinton conspiracy.

Now, despite all of us knowing this is untrue, Durham used this “FBI was tricked” predicate in court.  That underlying claim subsequently blocks legal accountability for any DOJ/FBI agent who was a conspirator in the operation.

The first defense Lawfare fabricators would deploy, would be to point out any new criminal prosecution would be reversing the original DOJ predicate to target their clients.  To prosecute for Russiagate, the DOJ claimed in court the DOJ & FBI were duped. The same DOJ cannot then reverse the case motive and say the DOJ & FBI were participants.

The unfortunate (I say intended) outcome is that all of the FBI/DOJ actors in Russiagate were given a pass by Special Counsel John Durham.

Instead, the accountability in the Russiagate fraud is public and political humiliation.

The criminal aspect is a dead end.

For five years I have repeated this assertion based on the reality of what took place with former AG Bill Barr, and former Special Counsel John Durham.  I hate it. I hated it then, and I hate it now; but it is what it is.

There was/is a lot of government corruption, wrongdoing and illegal activity in the continuum of targeting Donald Trump. Spygate, Russiagate, the Mueller special counsel, the impeachment effort all the way to Jack Smith and Arctic Frost, are fraught with people and agencies weaponizing their duties and offices.

The issue I am addressing NOW pertains exclusively to the Russiagate phase of that Trump targeting operation.

♦ As this reality sets in, and as the Russiagate story begins to fade, the Russiagate limited hangout begins to lose followers.  However, those who have a self-identity and financial dependency based on the Russiagate story, begin to make outlandish claims in order to retain relevance and keep the audience interested.

This is the current status, and it has created a problem.

There is a big downside to the nonsense now being promoted by the Russiagate crowd.  As I said in the intro, the easiest way to bury the truth is to cover it in a blanket of crazy, so that no one will go near it.  That is also the current status.

When you see those with Russiagate identities (dependents) complaining about the FBI, DOJ and even DNI are ignoring them, it’s because the remaining Russiagate dependents are pushing nonsense now.  They are creating a crazy blanket that is spreading over all of the Trump targeting investigations.

Patrick Byrne, General Michael Flynn, Svetlana Lokhova, and any alternative media who promote them, including Lara Logan and Emerald Robinson, are now creating a problem.  Either by intent or by mistake, they are creating a scenario where people with the power to do something about the other Trump targeting operations are becoming less willing to review the evidence.

Let me give you a specific example using Patrick Byrne, a colleague of Flynn and frequent guest on alternative platforms.

Below left you see Maria Butina, pictured when she was involved in the 2016 Russiagate story.  Below right, you see Maria Butina three days ago; she is a current member of the Russian equivalent of the House of Representatives (the Russian Duma).

After being quietly freed from prison in the U.S, there is no way Maria Butina would be a member of the Russian Duma unless she was allowed by the govt of Russia to be in that position.

That point accepted. The original issue was always a question of whether Maria Butina was an agent of the Russian govt, ie. “a spy”, or whether she was just a random Russian gun enthusiast.

Butina’s position in the Duma confirms that yes, in actuality she was almost certainly an agent of the Russian govt. in 2016, which was technically the position of the CIA/FBI.  Her appearance in the USA was then turned into an operation to use her travel as a surveillance vehicle for the corrupt intents and purposes of the FBI counterintelligence operation, Crossfire Hurricane.

That operation led to the enlistment of Patrick Byrne, who is recently a self-admitted CIA source/asset, who used Butina as a surveillance virus to infect various GOP political candidates in the 2016 election.

Byrne willingly participated in the operation, befriended Butina, began a romantic relationship with Butina and ran her into various GOP and Trump officials. All of that was always sketchy.

In 2016, Butina was an asset of the Russian govt., used by the U.S. govt. and intelligence agencies as part of their operation to conduct surveillance of American political candidates. This part is known by many.

However, approximately a month ago, just before Patrick Byrne announced his long-term relationship with the CIA on the Emerald Robinson podcast, Byrne was inside Russia promoting a video docuseries of his activity (picture right).

During the promotional events, Byrne told the Russian media and Russian audience he was a covert CIA asset.  This was all part of his media promo for his movie.

There is no way the Russian government would randomly accept a CIA operative into their country, unless the Russian government planned to use the spectacle of the storyline to advance their propaganda interests to their domestic audience. Essentially, Byrne telling Russians how terrible the CIA is. This would be an acceptable thing for the Russian government to promote.

All of that is shared to give context to the Byrne group (Byrne, Flynn, Lokhova and more) claiming the larger U.S. intelligence system, under DNI Tulsi Gabbard, was ignoring their continued contacts with information about government corruption.

Of course, DNI Tulsi Gabbard and all reasonable people would politely ignore contacts from, or isolate information from, this sketchy network of unofficial/official intelligence associations, claiming to be covert CIA operatives and telling the Russians about their involvement therein.

Good grief.  Can you imagine if Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard participated in anything, anything with a strange guy who was willfully creating Russian propaganda against the USA for consumption in Russia?

The sketchy Patrick Byrne guy is inside Russia telling media he is a CIA asset, and then he comes back to the USA and tells American podcast audiences that he is having a hard time getting the Trump administration to accept his team’s information or assistance.

Again, the easiest way to bury genuinely damaging information is to cover it with sketchy nonsense that no one will touch – including Byrne and Flynn’s vast Venezuelan global voting control conspiracy and all other Q-feeding gibberish.

It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Can you imagine the firehose of whackadoodle stuff that is being transmitted to the DNI by so-called friends of the Trump administration?  Then consider the problem they create trying to figure out the crazy from the relevant.

Let me say for the record, this problem is not being accidentally created.
