and not the right-wing fascist scheme to take over the once United States of America.<\/h3>\n<h3><em><strong>What&#8217;s the critical point?<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n<h3><em>The Powers That Be<\/em>, who exert complete command and control from the very peak of the pinnacle of the world power pyramid, created both sides of the American counterfeit coin known as the two-party system.<\/h3>\n<h3>In this extremely deceptive and stealthy way, TPTB can easily manipulate the American body politic toward any desired political outcome, especially during each and every POTUS election cycle which they do with great ease.<\/h3>\n<h3>While this divide and rule strategy has been effectively utilized by the power elite for millennia, it has become much more sophisticated in the Third Millennium because of the extraordinary power and pervasive influence of the Internet.\u00a0 What an awesome weapon cyber-technology has become for the <em>New World Order<\/em> globalist cabal!<\/h3>\n<h3>Hence, while the narrative below about the Democrat&#8217;s covert power structure is quite accurate, it predictably ignores the Republican side of this very clever conspiracy to keep each political pole of the electorate diametrically opposed to each other.<\/h3>\n<h3>A distillation of the conspiratorial plot being run by the actual global power structure would look something like this:<\/h3>\n<h3

The operation aimed to track the flow of weapons from the United States to Mexico, but it ultimately failed to achieve its goals and led to the loss of thousands of firearms. The ATF allowed licensed gun dealers in the United States to sell firearms to suspected straw purchasers, who would then transport them to Mexico. The ATF hoped to track the weapons and disrupt the cartels\u2019 supply chain. When it failed, and thousands of weapons were lost, and resulted in the murder of Border Patrol Agent\u00a0<strong>Brian Terry<\/strong>\u00a0and people above and below the US-Mexico border, it was referred to \u201cThe Council\u201d (aka the CIGIE). Former US Attorney General Eric Holder\u00a0was implicated. Holder was held in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over documents related to the sting operation. The controversy led to multiple investigations, including one by the Department of Justice\u2019s Inspector General Michael Horowitz. The investigation was obstructed, languished, and finally dropped in 2019. Nothing happened besides silence from \u201cThe Council.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For that matter, a primary target of \u201cThe Council\u201d in protecting US interests and the citizenry should presumably be \u201cthe cartels,\u201d yet they continue to not only exist, but flourish at the largesse of \u201cThe Council.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Fast and Furious\u00a0example follows a simple trajectory:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cThe Council\u201d conducts, or authorizes, an unlawful operation.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThe Council\u201d or perpetrators get caught.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThe Council\u201d obstructs investigations from oversight (Congress and the federal courts), and instead \u201cinvestigates\u201d itself.<\/li>\n<li>The investigation is undocumented, correspondence unserialized undiscoverable, or hidden, and the investigation and case dropped.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Virtually all people and things that emanate from \u201cThe Council\u201d serve them, and all investigations that implicate them, or anyone under their protection, is mitigated or dropped.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who challenges or interferes with \u201cThe Council\u201d is referred for investigation, indicted, prosecuted, and destroyed.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a id=\"HiddenInPlainSight\"><\/a><a>Hidden in Plain Sight (\u201cHPS\u201d)<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>The Council (CIGIE) actively fosters and uses \u201cconspiracy theories\u201d and \u201cgaslighting\u201d to mask their identities, purpose and power.<\/p>\n<p>Would be rulers don\u2019t play with toys or things, they play with people, and their emotions.<\/p>\n<p>Boogeymen like \u201cthe Swamp,\u201d \u201cprogressives,\u201d \u201cthe cabal,\u201d \u201cthe deep state,\u201d \u201cneocons,\u201d \u201ccommunists,\u201d \u201cQ,\u201d the DNC\u00a0and GOP\u00a0\u201cUniparty,\u201d \u201cRINO\u2019s,\u201d \u201celection deniers,\u201d \u201cJanuary 6-ers,\u201d the \u201ccentral bank,\u201d \u201cDiversity Equality Inclusion\u00a0(DEI),\u201d \u201cantivaxxers,\u201d \u201cfar right\u201d and \u201cfar left\u201d organizations with or without manifestos, are all tools they either coin, create, or leverage that effectively mask the immense power and relatively small numbers of \u201cThe Council.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Council sets other individual misfits and misanthropes in motion, and both domestic and foreign terrorist organizations that they create, infiltrate, or allow to exist, to execute violence when it suits their purpose to polarize and further confuse the US public.<\/p>\n<p>This permits \u201cThe Council\u201d and their minions to hide in plain sight, while they \u201c<em>fundamentally transform<\/em>\u201d our nation into a manageable collective of living carbon units\u00a0to serve their needs.<\/p>\n<p>There is no \u201c<em>Deep State<\/em>,\u201d \u201c<em>New World Order<\/em>\u201d or \u201c<em>New Society<\/em>\u201d as far as \u201cThe Council\u201d is concerned.

Bush and Ronald Reagan; and\u00a0<strong>Tim Shea<\/strong>, the Trump-era acting leader of the Drug Enforcement Administration. The aforementioned litmus test described earlier would appear to be akin to sulfuric acid in these cases.<\/p>\n<p>Former Director of Office of Management and Budget,\u00a0<strong>Russ Vought<\/strong>\u00a0sought, and still seeks to administratively overturn the 1883,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pendleton_Civil_Service_Reform_Act\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act<\/a>, otherwise known as the federal workforce Merit System, and essentially return the federal workforce to the 1829 \u201cSpoils\u201d system of political appointments. The\u00a0merit system\u00a0is the process of promoting and hiring government employees based on their ability to perform a job, rather than on their political connections. The merit system does not always lead to the choice of the most competent job candidate, but it is effective in eliminating those most incompetent. While it is an imperfect system, it does ensure bureaucratic and government stability from presidential administration to administration, prevents radical ideological shifts, and mitigates political corruption.<\/p>\n<p>More saliently, Vought\u2019s vision was, and still is, to reclassify over two million federal workers as \u201cat will\u201d employees, jeopardize their jobs, for the purpose of injecting Christianity into the government. Aside from this being within the realm of the Congress and a legislative matter, from a leadership perspective no commander can run a ship with the threat of replacing its crew based on their religious beliefs as a starting point of good governance. Vought was confirmed by the Senate 51-45 in July 2020 along partisan lines as the Director of Office of Management and Budget after serving in that position from January 2<sup>nd<\/sup>, 2019, as Acting Director.<a id=\"_ftnref15\" href=\"https:\/\/intelligencer.today\/the-council-who-is-running-the-united-states-of-america\/18\/07\/2024\/8132\/#_ftn15\">[15]<\/a>\u00a0He is currently President Trump\u2019s strategic advisor for transitioning government assuming he wins the November 2024 election.<\/p>\n<p>From \u201cThe Council\u2019s\u201d perspective, they could only be gleeful regarding Vought\u2019s self-styled proposals for a \u201c<em>Post Constitutional Government<\/em>\u201d that directly aligns with their goal of maintaining state capture. Vought\u2019s imperfect, ideological vision of installing political appointees is exactly why both the Merit System and the CIGIE were created in the first place. The proof of \u201cThe Council\u2019s\u201d approval, is that they did absolutely nothing but let Vought ping off the federal bureaucracy like an acorn hitting a battleship, ignored him, and focused on destroying President Trump. There are lawful executive, legislative and judicial means of addressing corruption that Vought does not seem interested in. They are simple, but not easy, and could take several years to get traction, but they will work. Our founders gave us a Constitution and Constitutional Republic that includes the means to preserve it if it falls to corruption and tyranny. The solution is not to write a new set of \u201cpost constitutional rules\u201d and throw out the Constitution, which is what our enemies want, but rather to embrace it more than ever, and use it to restore the Republic.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding Mike Davis, he directly emanated from \u201cThe Council\u201d and US Senator Grassley, and diligently worked to install federal judges under President Trump \u2013 the same judges that rejected to hear or dismissed key election fraud challenges. Davis is now guiding President Trump\u2019s legal strategy. Aside from bluster and noise, how has that worked out?<\/p>\n<p>The author and Leah Hoopes have had hard physical evidence of massive election fraud in Pennsylvania that was replicated in centralized counting centers in key swing states and pivot counties since November 7<sup>th<\/sup>, 2020. They were co-defendants with President Trump and Rudy Giuliani\u00a0in a Philadelphia defamation case and won the case Pro Se (self-represented) using \u201c<strong>truth is a complete defense<\/strong>.\u201d Aside from the fact that Trump and Giuliani were saved millions of dollars in legal fees, that same evidence could exonerate President Trump across the country. And yet, silence from Davis and those in a phalanx around him.<\/p>\n<p>Occam\u2019s Razor applies. The simplest answer, no matter how unpalatable, is usually the answer.

Trump, Political Strategist Roger Stone, General Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Mike Lindell, John Eastman, Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, Robert Malone, Christina Bobb)<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a>Case of Roger Stone<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Aside from \u201cThe Council\u2019s\u201d attacks on President Trump\u00a0described herein, the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.stonezone.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roger Stone<\/a>\u00a0case represents one of the most troubling examples of the weaponization of justice by the Department of \u201cJust-Us\u201d under the former leadership of Attorney General William Barr. Stone, the most sought-after political strategist in the United States since the days of Nixon, and then close adviser to President Trump, found himself at the center of a politically motivated and calculated campaign orchestrated by \u201cThe Council\u201d to vilify and silence him.<\/p>\n<p>Allegations of false statements and obstruction\u00a0of justice were levied against Stone in the context of the investigation into Russian\u00a0interference in the 2016\u00a0presidential election. It is now a matter of public record these charges were falsely manufactured to destroy\u00a0Stone. Regardless of whether Stone might not have had the benefit of the root cause analysis\u00a0herein, his expansive experience and intuition of the workings of \u201cThe Council\u201d combined with President Trump\u2019s earnest desire to \u201cdrain the swamp\u201d of DC politics, made Stone their biggest threat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Council\u201d used strategically leaked false information to the media aimed to cast Stone as a sinister actor in a grand conspiracy. The DOJ\u2019s withholding of exculpatory evidence\u00a0that vindicated Stone undermined the integrity of the entire legal process. The DOJ\u2019s aggressive tactics, including pre-dawn raids on Stone\u2019s residence with dozens of armed agents in tactical gear, were designed to not just publicly humiliate \u00a0Stone, but to intimidate other allies of President Trump. \u201cThe Council\u201d not only succeeded in wrongfully destroying Stone, but further isolated President Trump and took away perhaps his most wizened eyes, ears (personal network), and most able strategist.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a>Case of General Michael Flynn<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Under the leadership of US Attorney General William Barr, General Flynn, a distinguished military\u00a0veteran, and former National Security Advisor, became the target of a coordinated effort to discredit and silence him. The charges against General Flynn stemmed from allegations of making false statements to the FBI\u00a0regarding his conversations with Russian\u00a0officials. It is now a matter of public record that those statements were falsely crafted by the investigating agents and manipulated to wrongfully entrap Flynn, and that further underhanded tactics to threaten prosecution of his family were employed to extort \u201cconfessions.\u201d As was the case with Roger Stone, the Department of \u201cJust-Us\u201d\u00a0once again suppressed and refused to disclose crucial exculpatory evidence\u00a0that would have exonerated Flynn. His prosecution was accompanied by aggressive tactics aimed at coercing a guilty plea. The threat of targeting his family members and the financial burden of prolonged legal battles created an environment of immense pressure, forcing him to understandably plead guilty to false charges that he later withdrew.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a>Case of Paul Manafort<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The case of Paul Manafort, a former campaign chairman for President Trump, serves as another glaring example of the Department of Justice\u2019s (DOJ) and CIGIE\u2019s abuse of power and its willingness to employ aggressive and unethical tactics to achieve political objectives. The DOJ\u2019s prosecution of Manafort was characterized by an excessive and disproportionate array of charges. Many of these charges were unrelated to the initial investigation into alleged collusion with foreign entities, showcasing a deliberate attempt to pressure Manafort into providing incriminating information against President Trump. The evidence\u00a0used against Manafort was obtained through invasive surveillance methods, including illegal wiretapping\u00a0and unauthorized monitoring. Manafort was subjected to coercive tactics aimed at securing a plea deal. The immense pressure exerted on him, coupled with threats\u00a0of extensive sentences up to life in prison, forced him to consider cooperating with the prosecution and potentially providing damaging information against his associates. The selective leaking of confidential information to the media further tainted Manafort\u2019s case. The consequences of these abuses of power were far-reaching. Manafort\u2019s life was upended, his reputation irreparably damaged, and his finances depleted by legal fees. The DOJ\u2019s relentless pursuit of him sent an early and chilling message to anyone associated with President Trump, instilling fear, and hindering their ability to perform their political duties.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a>Case of Mike Lindell<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Mike Lindell, the CEO of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mypillow.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MyPillow<\/a>\u00a0and a steadfast supporter of former President Donald J. Trump, has found himself at the epicenter of a relentless assault by a coordinated coalition of government agencies and lawfare\u00a0groups. At the forefront of the onslaught against Mike Lindell, the mainstream media has eagerly served as a megaphone for the coordinated campaign to defame and vilify him. Major news outlets have willingly and uncritically echoed CIGIE\u00a0controlled DOJ, PIN, and FBI\u2019s assertions that Lindell\u2019s claims of election irregularities were \u201cbaseless\u201d and \u201cdangerous conspiracy theories.\u201d Any semblance of journalistic integrity was abandoned, favoring partisan narratives over objective reporting.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Silencing the Truth: DOJ\u00a0and CIGIE\u00a0Fueled Indictments and Media Attacks on Conservative Voices<\/h2>\n<p>US Attorney General Barr\u2019s knowingly deceptive narrative regarding the 2020 presidential election, were underpinned by the CIGIE\u2019s documented choice to not perform any investigation that might refute that narrative. They fueled orchestrated media and lawfare\u00a0attacks that led to the removal of prominent conservative voices like\u00a0<strong>Lou Dobbs<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Tucker Carlson<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>Emerald Robinson<\/strong>, as well as the relentless assaults on conservative news sources like\u00a0<strong>OAN<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Newsmax<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>Fox<\/strong>, in coordinated efforts to tarnish their reputations and silence their reporting.<\/p>\n<p>Attorney\u00a0<strong>John Eastman<\/strong>\u00a0was smeared with eleven (11) disciplinary charges, including misleading a court, making false statements, and failing to support the Constitution. He was found \u201cguilty\u201d of 10 of the 11 charges, and disbarred.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Steve Bannon<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Peter Navarro<\/strong>, among the most ardent conservative voices in the United States and endlessly loyal advisors to President Trump, were indicted for misdemeanor \u201ccontempt of Congress.\u201d Both were sentenced to federal prison sentences, and are now incarcerated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Doctor Robert Malone<\/strong>, the primary inventor and patent holder of mRNA vaccine technology which he stated was prematurely and dangerously deployed in the Covid vaccines, has been relentlessly persecuted and his license to practice medicine was threatened.<\/p>\n<p>Attorney\u00a0<strong>Christina Bobb<\/strong>, recently introduced as President Trump\u2019s strategist and leader for election integrity precinct strategy was indicted on April 27th, 2024, in Arizona with seventeen others, including President Trump allies\u00a0<strong>Rudy Giuliani<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Mark Meadows<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Jenna Ellis<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>Mike Roman<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jim Hoft<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Joe Hoft<\/strong>, brother founders of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Gateway Pundit<\/a>,\u201d a conservative news outlet, have been under siege from defamation lawfare and are in federal bankruptcy proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most egregious prosecutions and grossest abuses of \u201cThe Council\u201d has been against citizens prosecuted and convicted for January 6<sup>th<\/sup>, 2021.

They formally submitted this evidence\u00a0to the CIGIE, DOJ, Pennsylvania\u00a0Attorney General and Inspector General, and US National Archives.
