The Federalist is one of my daily reads. If you want to read a reasoned conservative view on a topic it is the place to read it. Their writers are top notch and by both sides account fair in their presentations whether they agree with them or not. So Hat tip and Full acknowledgment to them for the article to Fisk and fume over.
I saw this story yesterday, reading about it today pissed me off like you wouldn’t believe.
Our Most Serious National Security Threat Isn’t Russian Nukes In Space, It’s Intelligence Agencies In Washington
The hysteria on Capitol Hill over Russian nukes in space was a cheap ploy to ram through Ukraine aid and kill FISA reform.
It was a busy day in Washington on Wednesday as the intelligence bureaucracy tried 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.
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 weren’t 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.
This is We The Peoples real problem. None of us want to give Ukraine a damn dime. It’s obvious they lost, it’s obvious our politicians are making millions from these deals, and it is very obvious the only way you are going to remove Russian Troops is with American Troops and we definitely don’t want that. A good portion of our political class actually want all 3, and are willing to panic the people to get them. At the very least to get the money.
All of it just goes to show that the most serious threat facing America isn’t Russian nukes in space or overseas terrorist plots, it’s the political class in Washington and our intelligence agencies that think they’re above the law.
They are above the Law. We have allowed corrupt politicians to take complete control of our Justice system. When was the last Federal Politician/Bureaucrat Investigated, Prosecuted and Convicted of anything? I can’t remember, and I’m 63. The past ten years we’ve watched Attorney General after Attorney General, FBI Director after FBI Director lie under oath and use FISA against everyone Politician and Citizen alike. Not one person has been Prosecuted.
Here’s what happened. 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 President 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.
So the scumbags lead by Turner in both Congress an the Press conspired to create a Panic among we the people over a scenario that the will not share the details about. Be assured though, they say it will happen. Going by my Governments track record on predictions I’d say it has snowballs chance in hell of being something the Russians are even planning. It’s a False Flag, plain and simple.
This prompted a flood of statements from Republicans and Democrats that the threat was very serious — but not to worry, they have the situation under control. White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters he had already scheduled a briefing with congressional leaders on the matter before Turner made his statement, and don’t worry, President Biden “is going to ensure the security of the American people.”
And here we see all the clowns from both sides of the aisle playing their part in the panic over a false flag.
Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries issued a helpful statement clarifying what all this was really about: “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.”
Someone needs to Audit Congressman Jeffries and his families finances for conflicts of interest in all this money.
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. They’ve 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.
Like the casino gambling scene in “Casablanca,” the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court is “shocked, shocked” that the Federal Bureau of Investigation continues to ravage the privacy of vast numbers of Americans.
For each American the FISA court permitted the FBI to target, the bureau illicitly surveilled almost 1,000 additional Americans. That doesn’t even include that the FBI conducted 278,000 improper searches of Americans in 2020 and early 2021.
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 they don’t want any curbs on their ability to spy on Americans.
No one is auditing the money that is going to Ukraine. Every corrupt money laundering scheme ever known is taking place with these $Billions of dollars. Everyone is getting rich of the tax payers dime, while trying to provoke a larger war with Russia.
The irony here is that the U.S. intelligence community itself has become a far greater threat to our republic than Russia or any other country. As journalists Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi, and Alex Gutentag reported Tuesday, the 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.
Our Executive branch is completely corrupt and out of control with absolutely zero oversight. The press except the outcast few like those listed above are covering the abuse that is being done to the American People.
“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,” the report says.
But in fact, the reports alleges, 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.
Congress and the Intelligence Agencies are “Laundering” the Intel work and planting of false information through our attachments with allied nations intel agencies to give themselves cover and deniability to destroy a political threat to their power. Trump!
The purpose of this surveillance wasn’t to discover whether Trump associates were colluding with Moscow. It 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 as we all know, Crossfire Hurricane notoriously abused FISA to spy on Trump associates — to say nothing of its ultimate purpose, which was to destroy Trump’s candidacy and, failing that, his presidency.
So please, let’s not get distracted with hysterics about Russian nukes in space. Want to know where the real threat to our country is? It’s not in space or in Moscow. It’s in Washington.

All in all John Davidson wrote a great piece, thank you.
More people need to pay attention to what is going on right in front of them that effects their lives. How many times Taylor Swift get’s on camera at the Super Bowel doesn’t effect your life… these things do.
