Intelligence bureaucracy trying to foment a national security panic over Russian nukes in space in hopes of ramming through the Ukraine aid package and killing reforms designed to curb its power to spy on Americans makes for much busy work around Washington D.C.
This from thefederalist.com.
Lest you think that sounds crazy, consider the timing of the panic provocations, which came almost immediately after House Speaker Mike Johnson said he and other Republicans were not going to be “rushed” into approving the $61 billion aid package for Ukraine.
It also came at the precise moment—just coincidentally!—that the House was debating reforms to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, set to expire in April, that would end warrantless surveillance of Americans, which of course the White House and intelligence agencies oppose.
All of this makes apparent the most serious threat facing America IS NOT Russian nukes in space or overseas terrorist plots—
[T]he political class in Washington and our
intelligence agencies that think they’re above
the law are [our most serious threat facing America].
To be specific:
On Wednesday, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner issued a cryptic warning about a ‘national security threat’ related to a ‘destabilizing foreign military capability’ so grave that Biden should declassify all information about it immediately. Soon thereafter, anonymous sources leaked to the press that the threat was about Russia wanting to put nuclear weapons in space.
This prompted a flood of statements from the Right and the Left that the threat was very serious, however, the situation is under control.
White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters he had already:
[S]cheduled a briefing with congressional leaders on the matter before Turner made his statement, and don’t worry, [The Regime] is going to ensure the security of the American people.
Communist/Globalist House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries issued a statement “clarifying what all this was really about” and just in case you failed to discern the smoke being blown up your bottom end, here it is again:
The most urgent national security threat facing the American people right now is the possibility that Congress abandons Ukraine and allows Vladimir Putin’s Russia to win.
Meanwhile, Congress was set to take up proposed reforms to Section 702 of FISA that would put an end to warrantless spying on Americans.
The intelligence agencies and the White House have been very clear about their opposition to those reforms and that they would very much like to keep spying on Americans without having to obtain a warrant.
Intelligence Agencies have been using the press
to pressure Congress to scrap the reforms.
On Tuesday, the FBI shared newly declassified information with Politico revealing it used Section 702 to foil a terrorist plot on U.S. soil last year—“a none-too-subtle suggestion that if they had to bother with getting a warrant, they wouldn’t be able to stop these kind of terrorist plots.”
What happened next is telling. Even though the House Republicans who were pushing for the FISA reforms appeared to be winning the debate, in the aftermath of the hysteria over Russia nukes in space, Speaker Johnson pulled the bill and canceled Congress for the rest of the week.
It doesn’t take a conspiracy theorist to figure out what happened here:
– Our intelligence agencies don’t want lawmakers getting in the way of their plans.
– They don’t want any interruption in the flow of U.S. tax dollars to Ukraine, and
– [T]hey don’t want any curbs on their ability to spy on Americans.
As journalists Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi, and Alex Gutentag reported Tuesday:
[T]he CIA asked foreign intelligence agencies to spy on more than two dozen Trump associates as early as 2015 and share the intelligence they acquired.
This surveillance operation would later be used to launch the Crossfire Hurricane investigation and craft the Russia-collusion hoax.
The irony here from the information directly above:
[T]he U.S. intelligence community ITSELF
has become a far greater threat to our
republic than Russia or any other country.
The journalists’ report stated:
Until now, the official story has been that the FBI’s investigation began after Australian intelligence officials told US officials that a Trump aide had boasted to an Australian diplomat that Russia had damning material about Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
But in fact, the report alleged:
U.S. intelligence agencies tasked the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia—the other members of the so-called “Five Eyes” intelligence alliance—to surveil 26 Trump associates identified by President Barack Obama’s CIA director, John Brennan.
The purpose of this surveillance WAS NOT to discover whether Trump associates were colluding with Moscow.
The purpose of this surveillance WAS to make contacts and create interactions with those people through the Five Eyes agencies and then report those contacts to the FBI as suspicious, thus establishing a pretext for the FBI Crossfire Hurricane investigation.
And for all those twenty-percenters who have been hiding under a rock for the past four years:
– Crossfire Hurricane notoriously abused FISA to spy on Trump associates,
– [The] ultimate purpose, was to destroy Trump’s candidacy, and
– [F]ailing that, [diminish the success if not destroy] his presidency.
So, putting aside “the hysterics about Russian nukes in space,” the real threat to our country is in Washington D.C. The enemy has not merely trojan-horsed themselves into our realm, they have assumed control. And their tentacles have spread.
