There are no honorable "rank and file", that is a myth. https://t.co/6k9iSSLzBy

1.) When I was in DC, doing deep research on the issues around spygate and trying to understand the depth of corruption within the legislative and judicial branches, I ran into a guy...
2.) DC was locked down at the time (May/June 2020), so there were very few people around. However, this guy's credentials within the DC system were impeccable.
I checked him out afterward & was stunned at how he spent his entire career in/around the IC and related apparatus

3.) After a lengthy and casual introduction and discussion, I was genuinely shocked at the severity of his warnings about the FBI, DOJ and various other agencies.
However, in hindsight, after checking him out, I realized he was certainly a person to understand.

4.) His warning was direct, devoid of emotion, very deliberate and very cold. But behind his eyes and words was a guy telling the truth; the quiet part that no-one inside the bubble says openly.
5.) What he said was that not a single person of honor or integrity can survive inside the DC institutions we were discussing. The system itself is designed to remove them... All of them... every-single-one.
6.) He laughed at the term "honorable" rank and file. But it wasn't a snarky laugh; it was almost like a resignation laugh... a genuine look toward the sky and compassion for a view I held that his honesty would destroy.
7.) He wasn't bitter, angry or jaded; and I would not call him cynical. He was very genuine, very wise, held decades of knowledge.... and was a "just the facts" kinda Joe Friday guy.
8.) I found out a few days later his job within the system was sending him overseas again. Perhaps that's why he apparently wanted to tell the genuine side of his story and experience. Dunno, but I will never forget it.
9.) I still held the belief there were three branches of government.... and there were "checks and balances"... and there had to be some way for a good person to expose corruption.
He quickly dispatched those beliefs (with examples).

10.) He explained the "checks and balances" I spoke of did exist at a time when there were three branches of government. However, that time has long passed.
There is only one overarching DC eco-system now. The three branch concept is gone. Doesn't exist.

11.) As he explained, the levers of power are all controlled by the same system, and behind that system are positions - not people. "Positions"
12.) People are evaluated based on their ability to support and protect the system. Their skill level is what moves them into position.
Position. Evaluation. Next Position. Evaluation. Etc.
Position. Evaluation. Next Position. Evaluation. Etc.
13.) The system more like an institution. Within the institution there are divisions. The divisions are what we used to call "branches".
The divisions (branches) are not independent from the institution of DC. The divisions are operated by people in power who hold positions.

14.) He identified the timeline of this institutional creation as a slow build (over decades), but most visibly increasing in publicity after 9/11/01 and the patriot act.
15.) Once the patriot act made the government responsible for total safety; the previously embedded bad actors took full control. One office of particular note was the creation of the ODNI.
As he noted the amassing of surveillance power.

16.) once that Rubicon was crossed, everything after was downstream and unstoppable. The institution of the total intelligence apparatus now had full control.... over every branch (which again, he said is more like 'divisions').
17.) When he explained about the Inspector General part, I understood why the IG's offices (all of them) are compromised.... and why there can never be a whistleblower against the system.
Remember the "positions" part. Yeah, the IG's are key on that aspect.

18.) When he explained the legislative committee heads, he also explained how 'advise and consent' is used to keep the (executive) positions staffed only with particular people who have passed the institutional evaluation.
19.) He would know... his experience was deep in the part of the system that does the evaluation.
Think about what is needed to move into a position. A background check right? A clearance right?
Control of the people in the system, is done from the place where checks are done

20.) This is the place where people of honor and integrity are weeded out. They are a threat; or really not so much a threat, but just the "wrong type" of people. Said with a very matter-of-fact acceptance.
21.) One of the key institutions who do the background checks is The FBI.
That is why the FBI had to be compromised first in the structure of the new (post 9/11) system.

22.) Once you realize there is only one party, the UniParty, the next step is to recognize there are no longer three branches within government.
Then everything that has previously created frustration starts to make sense.

23) The discussion about there no longer being three branches of government was an eye-opening part of the talk... But if you think about it, it makes sense.
The executive, the legislative and the judicial branches all defer to the Intelligence Community.

Show me a single example where they don't.

Over two thousand years and counting. Gotta happen sometime, right?
Thank you for the related thoughts.
The Pedi-picture had you worried about me right?
Those are not my feet!
Good word.
Be encouraged, as the time of our Savior's return draws nigh... we are not like those without hope, we have scripture to lead and inform us. Our hope is bolstered by our knowledge of the Word of God, and His many promises to return for us are subject to specific signs and wonders... which mankind has experienced. The only sign left is the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem and we know that Israel is preparing to do just that... too, rebuild on the Temple mount.
Be of good cheer for God is not mocked.... what He has promised He is faithful to deliver, and with the sound of the trumpet and the voice of an Archangel, God shall appear in the clouds, to gather us all unto Himself, before the days of Great Tribulation and the wrath of God settles upon mankind, we shall see His return. Judgment has begun in the House of the Lord and many shall fall away, then the end shall suddenly appear.
Be patient for Joy shall come in the morning... in clouds of glory... Lookup, My Children, for the hour of thy deliverance is upon thee... look up and be of good cheer. Comfort one another with the knowledge that the time approaches and soon ye shall see the glory of the Lord, pierce the Eastern Skies. Relife is on the way... Let thy hope be assured, God is faithful to keep His Word.
Often, a grammatical, or vocabulary error is not noticed until after posting. The alternative is to post and discover errors, then correct and repost. This can result in a posted repetition series that distracts.
To avoid this limitation of the NING platform, some folks post, and then decide if a discovered correction is worthwhile. Cee what I mean?
My "SMART" phone keeps changing my words? I forget to go back and reread everything I type!!!
Interesting, but not really surprising.
As your electronic document holder, you do not submit your E-papers when demanded. It submits you!
No wonder our nation is in such trouble. . . .
It is really nice to have a idiot spell check on here. YOU are whats wrong with this country.
