Westering Sun in Aporia: Woke as Managerial Ideology

/1 Comment/in /by
Excerpts. Missing any analysis of the ethnic aspects of the “hostile managerial regime and its dependent [non-white] clients and  promoted by what “Samuel Huntington described [as] a “concentrated and sustained onslaught” by intellectuals and publicists led to multiculturalism.”
[…] the system is structured around exploiting the core [white] population for the benefit of a hostile managerial regime and its dependent [non-white] clients.
[…] Though largely unforeseen — and never legitimized by democratic mandate — demographic transformation was swiftly rationalized and sanctified through the ideology of multiculturalism. This was presented as a natural extension of the liberal-rational belief that social life should be governed by neutral principles, procedural justice and abstract equality. In truth, multiculturalism represented the culmination of a worldview that had long pathologized in-group preference and delegitimized ancestral identity. By suppressing traditional language rooted in attachment, loyalty and exclusion, liberal rationalism had already disarmed the West’s native populations in the face of a doctrine that presented demographic upheaval as a form of moral progress.
In the 1990s, multiculturalism became entrenched as the dominant ideological framework across the West. Samuel Huntington described how a “concentrated and sustained onslaught” by intellectuals and publicists led to multiculturalism being formally adopted by the Clinton administration, which made “the encouragement of diversity one of its major goals.” Meanwhile in Britain, Tony Blair’s Labour government oversaw a dramatic expansion of immigration, inaugurating an era of demographic transformation. Other Western nations soon followed.
Advocates of multiculturalism presented it as neutral, benevolent and inclusive. Yet from a Machiavellian or realist perspective, it was anything but neutral. In instrumental terms, it sanctified unassimilated minorities, immigrants, and mixed-race individuals by implicitly identifying them as the future of Western nations. The empowerment of these groups — socially, politically and institutionally — was justified at the expense of native majorities.
While formerly marginal groups benefited materially and otherwise from multiculturalism, they were not its architects. Nor did they possess the political or institutional leverage to establish it as a new paradigm for Western civilization. The task of authoring, enforcing and entrenching multiculturalism as state dogma fell to another group entirely: the managerial regime. […]
[If managers, non-whites and collaborators] are abstracted from the social equation, what remains of Western societies largely amounts to the shrinking mass of the traditional population. This “core” or “host” population then emerges as the universal object of exploitation across the West. Predominantly native, often middle or working class, and still retaining residual loyalties to older forms of nationhood, faith and organic order, this group’s economic productivity funds the regime and supports its clients. Its demographic inertia is invoked to justify mass migration, while its defensive political instincts are pathologized as reactionary or extremist. It bears the brunt of taxation, undergoes cultural and demographic displacement, and faces escalating surveillance and censorship. […]
Multiculturalism remained the dominant ideology of Western societies until the mid-2010s. Around 2016, however, something changed, and a more militant successor emerged: the phenomenon now known as “woke”.
[…] In retrospect, 2016 was an inflection point in Western history. Years of growing frustration over mass immigration, cultural dispossession, and the erosion of national identity culminated in two seismic events: the Brexit vote in the UK, and the election of Donald Trump in the US. These embodied the first major mass resistance from native Western populations against globalism, demographic transformation, and cultural subordination.
These events triggered existential anxiety for the managerial regime and its clients. It became clear that the core population still possessed substantial numbers and latent political power; that democratic processes might enable their resurgence; and that the ideological high ground needed immediate fortification. Managerial elites therefore pivoted to woke ideology as a reactionary move, launching a moral crusade designed to embed their ideological regime as a permanent revolution. Their aim was pre-emptive suppression of native resurgence—crushing dissent from the only quarter capable of challenging their ascendancy.
[BLM and other regime-approved identity movements] neutralized the radical potential of credentialed but increasingly desperate white Millennials—precisely those who might otherwise have spearheaded populist resistance. Woke offered them belonging within an elite-coded moral universe and easy access to social status through virtue signalling, activism and ritual denunciation of working-class whites (now stigmatized as racist, backward, and dangerous). Psychologically rewarding, socially prestigious, and intellectually undemanding, woke was the perfect counterfeit for genuine rebellion.

NYTimes’ brief for the defense against DNI Gabbard’s accusations of Obama admin “treasonous conspiracy” against Trump

Gabbard Claims Obama Administration Tried to Undermine Trump in 2016

Democrats denounced a report issued by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence as politically motivated and error-ridden.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Friday issued the latest in a series of reports from the Trump administration attempting to undermine the eight-year-old assessment that Russia favored the election of Donald J. Trump in 2016.

Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, said the information she was releasing showed a “treasonous conspiracy in 2016” by top Obama administration officials to harm Mr. Trump.

Democrats denounced the effort as politically motivated, error-ridden and in contradiction with previous reviews of the assessment.

Representative Jim Himes of Connecticut, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, called Ms. Gabbard’s accusation of treason “baseless.”

The Obama administration assessment never contended that Russian hackers manipulated votes.

Russia also conducted influence operations to change public opinion. That included using fake social media posts to sow division among Americans and leaking documents stolen from the Democratic National Committee to denigrate Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee.

Multiple reviews, including a Republican-led Senate report, backed the findings of American spy agencies in late 2016 that Russia was trying to influence the election by damaging Ms. Clinton’s campaign and bolstering Mr. Trump.

Among the Republican senators on the Intelligence Committee that produced the various reports on Russian influence operations was Marco Rubio of Florida, now the secretary of state.

The new report by Ms. Gabbard’s staff conflates those two activities by the Russians and tries to suggest that the Obama administration forced the intelligence community to alter its conclusions.

The findings by Ms. Gabbard’s office highlighted an email from an assistant to a previous director of national intelligence, James Clapper, that said President Barack Obama was seeking a new assessment of the “tools Moscow used and actions it took to influence the 2016 election.”

Still, it has long been known that Mr. Obama had tasked intelligence officials to review the material they had collected and report what they had learned before he left office. At the time, Obama administration officials said they worried that the intelligence assessment would be buried when Mr. Trump took over for his first term.

A C.I.A. review released this month took issue with the speed with which that assessment was conducted. The C.I.A. then referred John O. Brennan, the agency’s former director, to the F.B.I. for criminal investigation.

The report released on Friday highlighted that there was “no indication of a Russian threat to directly manipulate the actual vote count,” then contrasted that with the spy agencies’ ultimate conclusion in December 2016 that President Vladimir V. Putin “aspired to help President-elect Trump’s election chances.”

The report focused on a decision intelligence officials made at the time against producing an article for the president’s daily intelligence briefing that would have said that the Russians “did not impact recent U.S. election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure.”

“This is one more example of the director of national intelligence trying to cook the books,” Mr. Warner said. “We’re talking about apples and oranges. The Russians were not successful at manipulating our election infrastructure, nor did we say they were.”

The influence operations that the intelligence community reported, and the Senate Intelligence Committee studied extensively, were a different effort, he said.

Mr. Warner noted that as recently as March, the intelligence community reported that Russia had continued its malign influence efforts to sow dissent in the West. The report found that “Moscow probably believes information operations efforts to influence U.S. elections are advantageous,” and that undermining the integrity of American elections was a key goal.

“They acknowledged that Russia’s effort to meddle goes on. That was an assessment under her watch,” he said, referring to Ms. Gabbard.

Mr. Warner said his committee examined the effort to produce the intelligence assessment in December 2016 and found no attempt by Mr. Obama or senior officials to manipulate the findings.

Andrew Anglin: Bonus Trump Gift to Democrats: A Browner America

Dear MAGA: If You Think Masked ICE Thugs Wouldn’t Do the Same to You, You’re Even Dumber Than You Look

…

Another fact that is rather important in my view is that most of these people we see being arrested are not being deported at all. The BBB does nothing to address the laws that make it virtually impossible to deport 98% of illegal immigrants. Getting rid of the laws that prevent deportations should and would be the first move of anyone who was even remotely serious about deporting tens of millions of people. Among other things, you would expand expedited removals, end “credible fear” interviews for “asylum seekers,” and defund immigration courts. This could all be done by Congress.

Of course, the idea of tens of millions of people via mass roundups is completely nonsensical on its face. No one knows the actual numbers, but after the 20+ million who likely came in under Biden, we are definitely talking about somewhere in the range of fifty million illegal immigrants we want to remove. You are not going to pick them up one at a time in the Walmart parking lot. You don’t need to be a math genius to understand this, and I don’t need to tell you “how many football stadiums is 50 million people?”

What you would do is start seriously punishing people who hire or rent to illegal immigrants. You would fully implement E-verify, to ensure people who work and rent are legal residents, then you would send ICE to round up the tens of thousands of people who are employing and renting to illegals and charging them with ten years in prison for each instance. You would then set up ICE-run “no questions asked, just sign the form and we’ll give you $1,000 in cash and put you on a bus back to Mexico or on a flight to wherever” voluntary deportation centers in every major American city and provide a hotline for the immigrants to call explaining how they can make their way out.

If they can’t legally work and they can’t legally live anywhere, all of a sudden you have an exodus. What can they do? They have to leave. Then, instead of endless videos of masked men grabbing screaming women in church parking lots and throwing them into vans, you’d have endless videos of immigrants lining up and boarding single-file onto buses bound for Mexico.

I’m sure it’s possible to argue that some of the immigrants would refuse to leave even if they could not work and had to live on the streets. But it’s not going to be very many of them, and those ones could be thrown in vans. They’re not going to be hard to find.

Tens of millions of people have been relocated before. The most obvious example to point to is the partitioning of Pakistan. That project used carrots and sticks, but it did not round millions of people up, throwing them in cars one at a time, sending three officers to arrest a single individual.

How long does the arrest take, if we include drive time and paperwork? How much are these ICE people being paid per hour? This all starts to become reminiscent of “Holocaust math,” no?

Far from moving to arrest the employers and landlords of illegals, which I suspect many in the Trump administration would view as antisemitic, Trump has not even managed to cut off illegal immigrant access to all of the free social services.

Even if you are not big on math and are a true believer in the “one arrest at a time” strategy, the problem now is that ICE has already cleaned out the “100 miles from the border” immigrants who have been here less than two weeks (those are the only people eligible for expedited removal), and now these people are just being interned indefinitely as the courts prevent deportation. Yes, the Trump administration is making a big show pushing back on the courts, Stephen Miller is saying they don’t have the authority, but whatever the details of that battle might be, most of these people being detained by ICE are no longer being deported and are instead being sent to detainment facilities. Meanwhile, there is not even a discussion of using the Congress to pass laws stripping courts of their ability to prevent deportations. The United States federal court system is still able to enforce international refugee treaties (HIAS and others successfully challenged Trump’s EO on the matter in court), and instead of using the Congress to get rid of these treaties, Trump sends Miller to argue with the courts about what they mean.

Just Send Them to Black Sites, Indefinitely?

This “Alligator Alcatraz,” where MAGA patriots plan to eat delicious bread while watching Mexicans being eaten alive by large lizards, is a “black site.” That is, it is a prison camp where people are held indefinitely without access to due process. Just to be clear, no, it does not have to be secret to be a “black site.” Guantanamo Bay, where Trump is also sending immigrants instead of deporting them (he’s allowed to do this because Gitmo is technically US soil), is the world’s most famous prison and is also, definitionally, a “black site.” That said, it is certainly often a feature of a black site that you do not know where it is, and if you imagine that the federal government is not using this current circus atmosphere to build these sites across the country, you are as innocent as a babe or as stupid as an ox who’s suffered severe head trauma.

If the illegals could simply be deported in an efficient manner, you would not have any reason to build new black sites. So there is one more reason the state has for not successfully deporting illegal immigrants. That’s on top of the fact that all wealthy donors are against mass deportation of illegals.

Along with a brand new army of fully militarized federal cops trained to drive around the country and disappear people into vans in broad daylight, these black sites are another thing that the Trump Administration will be gifting to the AOC administration when James “JD Vance” Bowman loses the 2028 election.

I’m sure the Democrats will campaign on abolishing (or at least restricting) ICE and closing the black sites. And I’m sure people will believe it because of the long established Democrat tradition of telling the truth and never using federal cops for immoral purposes.

The most important gift Trump will give to AOC will be an AI police state control grid run by Palantir, so that the government will be able to keep close tabs on racists, sexists, homophobes, transphobes, and most importantly of all, antisemites.

Will the Democrats use this series of gifts to identify, arrest, and detain all the people viewed as a threat to democracy? Of course, I have no way of predicting such a thing, all I can do is say that it would be very easy to do, given these incredible gifts Trump will be giving them, and could be done legally with a simple emergency declaration which could be declared for more or less any reason.

Here’s an interesting question: how many people would need to be disappeared into some cage in a swamp to crush a meaningful American resistance movement? We know that the Palantir system will be able to identify them, and I would suspect the number is lower than 2,500. It could in fact be much lower than that, given that a fully functioning controlled opposition movement already exists, and most people would prefer to follow a Pied Piper offering them some joyful fantasy than look upon the dark realty of what is actually happening in front of their eyes. A quick perusal of the ridiculous popularity of the QAnon movement should be enough to demonstrate the ability of people to put their faith in nonsense, and most of the controlled opposition movements are nowhere near as ridiculous as QAnon.

Personally, I think these street scenes of ICE agents grabbing people are being created to desensitize people to seeing this sort of thing, and I think it is only a matter of time before these methods are used against those viewed as “dissidents” in America. But, hey – maybe I’m wrong? Maybe I’m just paranoid and it’s just that everyone in the government is really bad at math?

Bonus Trump Gift to Democrats: A Browner America

Along with the “elite police state package,” there are a lot of bonus gifts Trump is giving the Democrats. For example, Trump has decided to make it look like he’s implicated in the Epstein documents by claiming they don’t exist, and Democrats can now claim he destroyed them all. This is fantastic news for a lot of Democrat politicians and donors. You could come up with a big list of all sorts of little presents like this Trump will be giving the Democrats in the 2028 handoff.

But given today’s topic of discussion, the most relevant of the bonus gifts Trump will be giving the Democrats is a browner America. Homeland Security claims that virtually no one is crossing the border illegally currently. That seems unlikely, but okay. DHS also claims that as of June, so in Trump’s first six months, they had deported 207,000 people. The goal the administration had set was to deport a million per year, and it looks like in 2025 they might get close to 500,000, half of their 1 million goal. For reference, the Biden administration was probably allowing about 5 million people a year to enter the country, while in 2024, that administration deported only 270,000.

Given that Trump is going for all of the low-hanging fruit in his first months in office – new arrivals who are near the border – and given that there has been no interest shown in using Congress to change any of the laws, and especially given that there is no interest in putting the onus of responsibility on the people hiring and renting to the illegals, it is unlikely that by their 4th year, they will be deporting more than Biden was in his fourth year.

So just to be clear: Biden allowed in 20 millionish, Trump says the goal is to deport 4 millionish, he will probably end up deporting 1.5 millionish. Even after building and arming the biggest federal police agency in history, there is no way he is going to get near Obama’s deportation numbers.

Again, no need for a math whiz to see that just with white deaths and brown births alone, the 2028 America Trump hands off is going to be significantly browner than the 2024 America Biden handed him. But we haven’t added the legal immigrants. That’s about 1 million new people per year, virtually all of them brown. Further, Trump is at least flirting with the idea of removing caps on H-1B visas for Indians, which could mean multi-millions more per year.

Any way you cut it, 2028 America is going to be significantly browner than 2024 America, and it could be a lot browner.

But hey, I heard on Fox News that brown people are leaving the Democrat plantation because of the woke agenda. So maybe it will all work out? Maybe brown folks will get sick of paying these high taxes to people who want to turn their kids gay, and we’ll have a… multiracial working class uprising against the… the woke mob.

Or whatever.

But Hey, Whatever

Many in the internet will claim that a person has no right to identify a problem unless he has already prepared a solution for it. It is difficult to imagine a more infantile mindset for a grown adult man to embrace. But who am I to judge? I simply do my best to look at the world, to examine the facts, and try to explain what is going on to those interested in listening. I would never want to force anyone to listen. You are an adult, and you have a basic right as a human being to believe whatever it is you feel like believing.

I do not have a solution to the very serious problems I am identifying here, and will not even suggest that any such solution exists. I’m just exhausted by this goofy fantasy bullshit. In 2016, Trump said tens of millions of people needed to be deported. He “lost” in 2020, and tens of millions more were brought in before he “won” in 2024, and now he’s aiming to deport 4 million by 2028, and it seems that number is impossible, but you are going to get a massive police state, both digital and physical, in exchange for removing maybe 1.5-2 million illegal immigrants.

Okay?

That’s what’s happening. Happening alongside the endless wars, the biggest budget ever, the entire Epstein case being thrown into a black hole, and whatever other cute little surprises the Trump administration has up its sleeve over the next 3.5 years. It’s all bad news. So if you want, pretend it’s not happening. No one forced you to read this. At least, I hope they didn’t. If someone did force you to read this, I’m sorry. If it was a Mexican who forced you to read it, you should call ICE, and they will come feed him to an alligator.

When analyzing the American empire, and the evils it is currently in the process of spreading, I’ve determined that a man can either hope that the American empire falls sooner rather than later, or that he dies before things get really bad.

The other thing one can do is pray for incompetence on the part of the evil forces implementing this agenda, but I suppose that falls under the “hoping for collapse” category.

When Trump was allegedly shot in the ear in Butler, I identified this as part of a program to set him up as an overwhelmingly popular leader, who would come into office as a kind of Caesar figure, and be able to do whatever he wanted to do. Unfortunately or fortunately, most of that good will has already been burned through. The Epstein thing was incredible. To actually start yelling about how people need to stop talking about Epstein was beyond my comprehension.

That was just so completely nuts. When I first saw it, I had to confirm it wasn’t AI.

And then this?

As I always note, we live in a democracy. Please don’t say “oh no, we live in a Republic.” Some of you people are just such retards, I really feel like you deserve all of this. Sometimes, I think the Jews are right about the goyim. We do live in a democracy, a representative democratic republic, and this means that you do not have a way to petition grievances. So the government can do whatever they want to you.

However, at some point, any population facing a certain amount of abuse will engage in a violent uprising, so the system is able to move much more smoothly when they have high levels of support. The fact that Trump has burned up so much good will so quickly is confusing and can only really be explained by incompetence on his part and on the part of his cadre. He doesn’t actually have to do anything. He can just pretend he’s trying to do something. But coming out and saying “we must defeat Putin and actually Epstein didn’t even do anything” is really wild.

So sure. Hope their incompetence screws everything up and leads to a collapse. That’s my best advice.

My best advice is actually to leave the United States, and forget the place exists. But most people are not going to do that.

Sunday in Gaza: Starvation and more mass murder

/in /by

Sunday in Gaza saw unrelenting killing. NPR‘s story of 100 dead, based an AP‘s report npr.org/2025/07/20/nx-s1-5474123/100-killed-s
stresses what appears to be an IDF attack on a UN convoy:
“…near the Israeli border area of Zikim,…at least 81 Palestinians were killed as they tried to grab sacks of flour from U.N. World Food Programme trucks entering from Israel… the WFP said its 25-truck convoy had been released… to enter Gaza Sunday morning when it encountered massive crowds of “hungry civilians” and then came under fire.”
Tellingly, the IDF merely disputes the casualty number.
Maybe the Democrat Big Feet are heeding their base at last and permitting MSM reporting. Like Saturday, today’s carnage received unprecedented coverage from the US outlets’. Besides reports in the Washington Post, the New York Times, CBS & ABC, the high food chain sites The Hill and Politico had stores, Even more remarkable the now Left Establishment Drudge Report, long MIA on Gaza, has two, one linking to the updated AP version in which a WFP official directly blmed the IDF, and the other linking to an Axios story archive.is/vhe05 with the headline White House frets about Netanyahu: ‘He’s a madman’…

Saturday in Gaza: “An exceptionally bloody Saturday”

/in /by

An exceptionally bloody Saturday in Gaza (95 dead – Haaretz) began early. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)’s Distribution Centers open at 6AM (11PM EDT) and Palestinians (who often have to walk long distances) muster beforehand

Today the IDF opened fire at 2 Centers, jolting the US MSM into actually reporting! The NBC version of AP‘s report nbcnews.com/world/gaza/palestinians-shot-dead says “at least” 32 killed near the Centers and details 24 other deaths from several IDF airstrikes of which it says there were 90.

For the first time that I have seen the IDF and its GHF puppet have started indicating the Palestinians are at fault for gathering before the 6AM supposed opening of the Centers. USA Today citing Reuters says archive.is/Oshup that GHF claims “it has repeatedly warned people not to travel to its distribution points at dark.”
Sunrise at present is just before 6AM. If enforced, this will further restrict access to Aid, which is probably the IDF’s intention.

The Israeli outlet Haaretz has seen fit to report archive.is/N5gUv that the full death today was 95. Over a hundred are said to have been wounded.

ADL wins against NEA

/13 Comments/in /by

“ADL supporters sent hundreds of thousands of emails to NEA leaders. We are grateful for the leadership shown by the members of the NEA Jewish Affairs Caucus and teachers across the country, whose words and stories serve as both a reminder and warning of why our work is so important. We thank the nearly 400 Jewish and community organizations and dozens of elected officials around the country who made clear their concerns about this dangerous and antisemitic resolution.”

We were concerned when delegates to the NEA teachers union voted to boycott ADL educational content, including widely respected Holocaust education, antisemitism and anti-bias lessons and resources that make a real difference in the classroom.

Last night, the NEA leadership righted a wrong. We welcome the decision by the NEA Executive Committee and Board of Directors to reject this misguided resolution from a group of radical activists who sought to boycott ADL’s educational materials on antisemitism and the Holocaust.

With your help, we did everything we could to stop this resolution. It was not just an attack on ADL, but a larger attack against Jewish educators, students and families. ADL supporters sent hundreds of thousands of emails to NEA leaders. We are grateful for the leadership shown by the members of the NEA Jewish Affairs Caucus and teachers across the country, whose words and stories serve as both a reminder and warning of why our work is so important. We thank the nearly 400 Jewish and community organizations and dozens of elected officials around the country who made clear their concerns about this dangerous and antisemitic resolution.

Now we urge NEA leadership to share widely that this measure has been rejected and make clear that this approach is harmful to educators, students and families concerned about the rise of antisemitism and hate in our schools and communities.

This divisive campaign has already damaged students’ ability to receive anti-bias and Holocaust education. Campaigns have been launched to follow suit and boycott ADL and Jewish Federations from schools in New Jersey and Illinois, and we anticipate others could follow. We are committed to working with the NEA to make clear that these hateful campaigns cannot succeed and redouble efforts to ensure that Jewish educators are not isolated and subjected to antisemitism in their unions and that students are not subjected to it in the classroom.

Thank you for all you do as part of the ADL community to speak out about antisemitism and hate — in classrooms, in neighborhoods and online.

Tulsi Gabbard releases files implicating Obama administration conspiracy to subvert Trump’s 2016 election and presidency

/2 Comments/in /by

The New York Times has not considered this fit to print. Doing a search on the NYTimes site shows the last mention of Gabbard was June 21. This should be a huge scandal. At the very least, given that the Mueller Report indicated no Trump collusion, it’s certainly true that this campaign to vilify Trump crippled his first administration. And while I am personally disappointed in Trump 2.0 for a variety of reasons, the left may come to regret doing this, because Trump 2.0 is much more able to pursue its anti-DEI and anti-immigration policies.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Office of the Director of National Intelligence News Release No. 15-25
July 18, 2025

New Evidence of Obama Administration Conspiracy to Subvert President Trump’s 2016 Victory and Presidency

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Friday, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard revealed overwhelming evidence that demonstrates how, after President Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, President Obama and his national security cabinet members manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump.

  • In the months leading up to the November 2016 election, the Intelligence Community (IC) consistently assessed that Russia is “probably not trying … to influence the election by using cyber means.”
  • On December 7, 2016, after the election, talking points were prepared for DNI James Clapper stating, “Foreign adversaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the US Presidential election outcome.”
  • On December 9, 2016, President Obama’s White House gathered top National Security Council Principals for a meeting that included James Clapper, John Brennan, Susan Rice, John Kerry, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe and others, to discuss Russia.
  • After the meeting, DNI Clapper’s Executive Assistant sent an email to IC leaders tasking them with creating a new IC assessment “per the President’s request” that details the “tools Moscow used and actions it took to influence the 2016 election.” It went on to say, “ODNI will lead this effort with participation from CIA, FBI, NSA, and DHS.”
  • Obama officials leaked false statements to media outlets, including The Washington Post, claiming, “Russia has attempted through cyber means to interfere in, if not actively influence, the outcome of an election.”
  • On January 6, 2017, a new Intelligence Community Assessment was released that directly contradicted the IC assessments that were made throughout the previous six months.

After months of investigation into this matter, the facts reveal this new assessment was based on information that was known by those involved to be manufactured i.e. the Steele Dossier or deemed as not credible. This was politicized intelligence that was used as the basis for countless smears seeking to delegitimize President Trump’s victory, the years-long Mueller investigation, two Congressional impeachments, high level officials being investigated, arrested, and thrown in jail, heightened US-Russia tensions, and more.

“The issue I am raising is not a partisan issue. It is one that concerns every American. The information we are releasing today clearly shows there was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016 committed by officials at the highest level of our government. Their goal was to subvert the will of the American people and enact what was essentially a years-long coup with the objective of trying to usurp the President from fulfilling the mandate bestowed upon him by the American people,” said DNI Tulsi Gabbard. “Their egregious abuse of power and blatant rejection of our Constitution threatens the very foundation and integrity of our democratic republic. No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, to ensure nothing like this ever happens again. The American people’s faith and trust in our democratic republic and therefore the future of our nation depends on it. As such, I am providing all documents to the Department of Justice to deliver the accountability that President Trump, his family, and the American people deserve.”

The files and a memo on today’s release are available on DNI.gov. DNI Gabbard will post updates on X (@DNIGabbard) and Truth Social (@DNlTulsiGabbard).
