Gen. Lee Tafanelli presented the briefing at the request of Gov. Laura Kelly.House members were given an overview of homeland security in Kansas, including information applicable to the security of the state and its citizens.A lawmaker told 13 News the meeting focused on staying wary of best practices to avoid potential cyber security threats with a foreign country.Make no mistake. This surprise meeting by the Kansas Governor was expensive. It was disruptive. It was unique and definitely not routine. Listen, Earth explorers, when I say there is a bomb in play, I am implying that the Global Syndicate is losing their war in Washington. They don’t like losing. At least 46 major times since 1993, radical Islam has served the Global Syndicate by executing cataclysmic events to allow their bureaucrats buried in our government to strip our rights from us. They may again use an even bigger catastrophe in a desperate attempt to break Trump voters away from the President. The Syndicate hates you. They intend to subjugate you.According to a POLITICO/Morning Consult survey released on Wednesday, 56 percent of voters expect the president to be reelected next year, including 85 percent of Republicans and 51 percent of independents. If the election takes place, the results will likely deal a crushing blow to the Democrat majority in the House, which will stop all efforts to legally remove him from office. This is absolutely not what the Global Syndicate wants. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is reporting that a Magnitude 4.4 earthquake has struck near Hutchinson, Kansas.? ?The quake took place at 2:08 PM Eastern US time at a very shallow depth of only 4.6km.Prior to being "reviewed" the automated systems at USGS initially reported the quake as being Magnitude 5.2, but for some reason, after "professional review" the strength was downgraded to 4.4.Shaking was felt over a wide area and reports coming into the USGS describe the earthquake shaking as "Strong."? Thus, it is reported as a "6" on the Mercali.King Northam has decreed that no weapons will be allowed on the capitol grounds, not even helmets or shields! Does this remind anyone else of the 1775 British army’s march on Lexington and Concord to seize colonial weapons? Didn’t that officially touch off the Revolutionary War?What is happening in Richmond, VA right now is smacking of the same kind of orchestration as took place in Charlottesville.?Gov. Northam has buttressed his capitol police force with city cops and state troopers and he is having barriers erected around the capitol building and statehouse.?Streets immediately surrounding Capitol grounds will be closed and there’s going to be additional fencing around the Capitol building.?On Monday, there will only be one public entrance at the gate near N 9th Street and Grace Street, where all visitors will have to go through a security checkpoint with metal detectors.This fencing is being bolted together so it is not easily removable. Limited access and entry points onto the capital square will ensure that once you are in there you will have no ready means of escape. All this to enforce a decree of a “gun free” zone outside the capitol for the first time in Virginia’s history in the absence of a couple hundred years of incident free events in the same location. (More on this later)It is important to remember the Governor of Virginia has ordered fencing to be erected around the State Capital?as he and the legislature continue to DEFY the citizens of that state, in an attempt to disarm them of their Constitutionally protected firearms.With TENS OF THOUSANDS of people coming to Richmond, Virginia on Monday, January 20, 2020, to oppose the radical gun legislation which would disarm the public, there will be lines of people all around the area that can’t even get into the Capital square. The people that DO make it in will be fish in a barrel.They run cattle through a chute before they give them the bolt gun. Think about that.This means that if anything bad happens you will be unable to flee, unable to defend yourself, and unable to find usable cover or concealment.With all the congestion it also means there will be no way to get help to people in need of assistance.With the sheer number of people in attendance, law enforcement will be unable to eliminate any threats for fear of injuring/killing innocent people. They will also not be able to get to the actors until long after any rampage has started and been effective.?This event has turned into a violation of the rules of three stupids: “Don’t do stupid things. Don’t hang out with stupid people. Don’t go stupid places.”I am telling you, don’t go into that cage they have set up. That is a makeshift jail. Assemble in Williamsburg. Stream your speeches. Go home. Do not enter into this fight. You cannot win. Virginia will not win. King Norman will win. Leave them to it. Let the cameras spin on empty streets.You’ll see. I am right about this one.West Virginia, Mountain MommaAs the prospect of full-on gun confiscation measures enacted by the government of Virginia seems more likely than ever, the West Virginia Legislature has introduced a resolution, which, if passed, would grant Constitution-friendly Virginia counties the right to secede and join West Virginia.The?legislation, which was introduced Tuesday, would provide for an election to be held “for the admission of certain counties and independent cities of the Commonwealth of Virginia to be admitted to the State of West Virginia as constituent counties.”The measure would be enacted under the provisions of Article VI, Section 11 of the Constitution of West Virginia.Many infringements of civil liberties by the government of Richmond are cited by the legislation.“In the latest, and most evident, in this string of grievances,” the resolution reads, “The government at Richmond now seeks to place intolerable restraints upon the rights guaranteed under the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution to the citizens of that Commonwealth.”The legislation “extends an invitation to our fellow Virginians who wish to do so, to join us in our noble experiment of 156 years of separation from the government at Richmond.”“We extend an invitation to any constituent county or city of the Commonwealth of Virginia to be admitted to the body politic of the State of West Virginia, under the conditions set forth in our state Constitution, specifically, with the consent of a majority of the voters of such county or city voting upon such proposition.”The measure also assures Virginia citizens that “their firearms rights shall be protected to the fullest extent possible under our Federal and State Constitutions.”Virginia Governor Ralph Northam declared a state of emergency in a news conference Wednesday and banned al legally registered firearms from the State Capitol premises where pro-Constitution protests are slated to take place.Via National File:As tensions in Virginia continue to reach fever pitch over the newly elected Democrat state government’s plans to introduce gun control measures, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, who confessed to wearing either blackface or Ku Klux Klan robes last year, has declared an emergency and banned all guns from the area outside the Virginia capitol in advance of a pro-gun rally being held Monday.Suggesting that the violence may be comparable to that of the infamous Charlottesville Unite The Right rally in 2017, in which no gun violence occurred and one young woman lost her life due to a heart attack, Northam declared a state of emergency that allows him to ban weapons, including guns, from the Capitol grounds.In his Wednesday news conference, Northam said “We have received credible intelligence from our law enforcement agencies of threats of violence surrounding the demonstration planned for Monday.”The motion introduced by the West Virginia Legislature has been cited as a possible impetus for Northam’s desperate measures.Operation FlashpointI have been saying for weeks now that America is in a very dangerous place. Perhaps, it is the most dangerous place we have been since our founding. The Global Syndicate is losing. They don’t like losing. In fact, if they lose, it is there intention that there are no winners. You know the drill. As soon as the press starts reporting that America is winning, they order up a school shooting or a concert massacre. We’ve grown numb to that. The incessant calls for more gun restrictions has led to more gun sales. People who own guns buy more ammo and fill up the shooting ranges across the country. The people are practicing for a war they can scarcely imagine; one against their own government and American soldiers.The Syndicate could not be more happy when the governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia sought to enforce a State law that should have been ruled unconstitutional years ago. 105 thousand AR-15 owners refused to turn in their weapons and extended magazines. Obama tried to ban the .223 ammo, triggering a massive purchase by gun owners. On November 5th, control of both the House and Senate of the Virginia General Assembly flipped to Democrat control. The Virginia Democrats owe a huge debt to Michael Bloomberg for the millions he poured into the state, and they are returning the favor by pushing extreme, unconstitutional infringements on gun owners.Second Amendment advocates throughout Virginia have wasted no time making their opposition heard and have appealed to their local elected officials—city councils, boards of supervisors, and sheriffs—to consider making their locality a “Second Amendment Sanctuary” county or city.These narrowly-worded resolutions read that the sanctuary jurisdiction “expresses its intent” to “uphold the Second Amendment” and ”that public funds . . . [shall] not be used to restrict the Second Amendment rights of the citizens.”Thus far, with Greensville County joining the movement, 22 Virginia counties have declared themselves 2A sanctuaries with 6 of other counties’ action pending. Unsurprisingly, the confiscation crowd has seized upon this grassroots effort and grossly mischaracterized it. Even though law-abiding Virginian gun owners have not broken any laws, once again we find ourselves accused of terrible misdeeds.Norfolk Delegate Jay Jones says that this current effort is “indicative of the same mindset that … led this country to dissolve into a civil war.” Not so: it is indicative of precisely the opposite. No one is storming the castle walls. Instead, gun owners are using every lawful means available to us to ensure that our voices are heard in support of the Constitution.Jones asserts that his motivation to call negative attention to the Second Amendment sanctuary movement is the ongoing gun violence in his district. I can assure the Delegate that none of the criminals who engage in inner city gang- and drug-related violence have joined with law-abiding gun owners at any of the hearings to date.On the other hand, I’m sure those criminals are cheering the Delegate and Democrats on, because criminals prefer un-armed victims, and that’s exactly what the currently proposed legislation will create.The Washington Post was no better. Its editorial labeled us “mischief-makers.” What mischief exactly? What law did we violate? The first sentence was even worse, opening with “Vigilantism.”There has not been one scintilla of advocacy of “mischief-making” or “vigilantism.” No one spoke about wanting to take up arms against the government.Instead, the focus has been on respectful, but firm dialogue that’s entirely consistent with the Second Amendment and the Heller and McDonald decisions. Gun owners are showing up en masse to these hearings because we want to see our country preserved, not taken apart.It’s long past time that the Virginia confiscation crowd acknowledge that the history, text, and tradition of the Second Amendment precludes the type of government infringements on our inalienable rights contemplated by their bills. It’s also time for them to acknowledge the plentiful data that support the wisdom of that oral and written tradition: criminals and tyrants prefer unarmed victims.Virginia gun owners have merely asked to be left alone; we are not calling for revolution. As citizens and militia groups prepare for a Jan. 20 march on Richmond in protest of Democrats' shameless gun control measures, the commonwealth's governor has declared a state of emergency in what is suspected to be an attempt to disarm the protesting citizens. Governor Ralph Northam issued Executive Order 49 on Wednesday, a "declaration of a state of emergency due to potential civil unrest at the Virginia state capitol."Northam tried to twist the march into something it never was, nor could ever be. He linked the upcoming march to the white nationalist event that turned into a disaster in Charlottesville, Virginia, vowing to never let it happen again."Credible intelligence gathered by Virginia’s law enforcement agencies indicates that tens of thousands of advocates plan to converge on Capitol Square for events culminating on January 20, 2020," Northam wrote in the order."Available information suggests that a substantial number of these demonstrators are expected to come from outside the Commonwealth, may be armed, and have as their purpose not peaceful assembly but violence, rioting, and insurrection."I think it is much more likely that Syndicate thugs will be in disguise amongst the protesters. It is they who will fire the first shots, being skillful enough to step out of the way when the authorities shoot back.The executive order bans all firearms and weapons on the Capitol Square and surrounding areas, but then takes an even more provocative twist. Northam specifically listed personal protective gear such as helmets and shields as weapons in his order. Meaning, you better not show up with masks, helmets, gloves, or body armor. Of course, these rules don't apply to the armed state employees who will confront the protesters.For a governor who has lost the trust of a majority of his counties and many of his citizens over his gun-grabbing ways, this announcement could not have come at a worse time. With tens of thousands of angry people now ready to flex their Second Amendment rights in a march on Richmond, labeling them as racists intent on killing will not go over well. I will say that if a charismatic leader is energized during this event, and he or she gets a voice, it will go very badly for the State.It appears as though Northam wants to start a war with his constituents, and there are now reports of defenses being hardened around the capitol itself. In one image, workers can be seen erecting barricades for next week's protest. Northam is making a big gamble here, possibly a bigger one than he realizes. A high number of protesters are former military, law enforcement, and highly trained State militias. They are not afraid. They are very skilled, and they are very determined to win.The governor is not asking but demanding with the full power of his office that protesters disarm themselves. Keep in mind, this isn't a gaggle of a few hundred that can be corralled by police, but tens of thousands of citizens who are willing to brave below-freezing temperatures and long drives to show their resolve to keep Second Amendment rights strong.For Northam, the best-case scenario is that everyone shows up without a gun, parades around for a bit and then calls it a day. I would say the chances of that happening are exactly zero. What happens if tens of thousands of Americans do show up with lawfully held firearms? Northam faces a choice here, and none of the outcomes are pretty.If he orders his police to stand down and not engage those bearing arms, the citizens win. They would have arrived, proven that the Second Amendment was a check against government overreach and headed home while Northam faces humiliation.If he makes an attempt to enforce gun confiscation, and those citizens those same citizens refuse to comply, this could be the second shot heard round the world. How far will Northam go to ensure his authority remains unchallenged? I fear too far.The ramifications of Northam's executive order could not only cause chaos in the Old Dominion, but also shake our very nation itself. With the massive protest less than a week away, all eyes are on Virginia.On Friday State Senator Amanda Chase issued a warning to those attending the Monday rally.“We are being set up!”Senator Chase wrote this on her Facebook page.“I want you to be aware of how we are being set up. Does the Patriot Act ring a bell? Does the National Defense Authorization Act ring a bell? If people show up wearing any kind of uniform, patch or other symbol on their clothing signifying they belong to a militia and something goes wrong, you could/will be held as a domestic terrorist.If anyone steps out of line, all it takes is one person, it may even be a government plant….if that plant does anything to disrupt the rally, you could/will be arrested as a domestic terrorist. The Governor, using the media has already set the stage for this to happen. He has already laid the groundwork to make the entire movement look like insurrection.It will be used to put the rest of the nation on notice of what will happen to you, if you resist. They have used the Southern Poverty Law Center over the last 15 years to lay the groundwork. They have labeled us as potential domestic terrorist for a long time now.Anyone who has ever related to the 3%er’s, a militia, or just belonged to any Patriot group…the groundwork has been laid to brand you as a domestic terrorist.I have a message for the march, tomorrow. Choose another way. Don’t walk into this trap. Even if you do nothing, your group will be infiltrated by spies and actors. They will throw a rock, a punch, or turn over a car. You will get the blame. I recommend you meet somewhere else. Just march up the street and then do not enter the killing field. Go to Williamsburg, the old Capitol of Virginia. Live stream the event on a hundred channels, and the world will hear you. Live to fight another day. Vote hard in November, and throw out the soldiers of the Global Syndicate out of office. The new governor can undo everything Northam does. The only other choice is to begin suing the governor. File every single day. You must beat him at the ballot box. Petition the Federal government to due the governor. You need Trump behind you, and you can’t get that support if they trap you into violence. Remember, the Syndicate’s media empire is 100% behind the governor. We are with you. Take the advice.?Carl Sandburg?(1878-1967In the poem, the line is said by a little girl who sees a group of soldiers marching in a parade. It’s from a part of the poem in which Sandburg seems to foresee the potential devastation of a second and possibly a third world war: “The first world war came and its cost was laid on the people. The second world war — the third — what will be the cost. And will it repay the people for what they pay?... The little girl saw her first troop parade and asked, ‘What are those?’ ‘Soldiers.’ ‘What are soldiers?’ ‘They are for war. They fight and each tries to kill as many of the other side as he can.’ The girl held still and studied. ‘Do you know ... I know something?’ ‘Yes, what is it you know?’ ‘Sometime they’ll give a war and nobody will come.’Space Force Begins?The United States’ first chief of space operations?for the U.S. Space Force is still wearing his U.S. Air Force uniform.“But I’m not in the Air Force anymore,” says Gen. John “Jay” Raymond. “I’m in the Space Force.”Two days after being sworn in by Vice President Mike Pence as chief of space operations, Raymond remains, for now, the only official member of the newest branch of the U.S. armed forces. The Space Force was?signed into law Dec. 20?by President Donald Trump.“There is a lot of planning going on,” Raymond told?SpaceNews?Jan. 16 in his first media interview since becoming chief of the U.S. Space Force.Raymond and Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Jan. 15 briefed Trump on the initial steps in the organization of the Space Force.“I thought it was important that we give him an update on what we did on day one and where we’re headed,” Raymond said. “It was a really good conversation.”It was Trump who directed the Pentagon in June 2018 to establish a U.S. Space Force but it wasn’t until Congress passed the National Defense Authorization Act and the president signed it Dec. 20 that the sixth branch of armed forces came into being. “This is the president’s vision,” said Raymond. ‘We’re moving out to implement it.”Raymond reports directly to Air Force Secretary Barbara Barrett. For the next year, he will be dual-hatted as commander of U.S. Space Command and chief of the U.S. Space Force. He oversees staff in Colorado Springs and in the Pentagon that are helping plan the new service. “There are a lot of decisions to be made,” he said.Even though his uniform says Air Force, Raymond’s military ID says “Space Force.”The Space Force eventually will have its own uniforms, logo and seal that will become part of the service’s unique identity. These are still being designed, he said. “We’re working that really hard.”Raymond will be splitting his time between the Pentagon and U.S. Space Command headquarters in Colorado Springs. Regardless of where he might be physically located, “I’m 100 percent of the time commander of U.S. Space Command and 100 percent of the time chief of space operations,” he said.“It has been helpful to be dual hatted,” Raymond said. That allows him to “make trades” as both U.S. Space Command and the U.S. Space Force get built out. After the first year, someone else will be nominated to run the Space Force. “Splitting the hats is absolutely the right thing to do to get singular focus on the warfighting side and singular focus on the organize-train-equip side,” he said. The one-year transition “gives us a grace period to make that shift.”The NDAA said the chief of space operations could become a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in a year. But Esper and Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley requested that Raymond be on the Joint Chiefs immediately because of the importance of space to national security. “I’m a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff today,” Raymond said.Maj. Gen. Stephen Whiting is the deputy commander of the U.S. Space Force based in Colorado Springs. At the Pentagon, Lt. Gen. David “DT” Thompson serves as the vice commander. In the future someone will be nominated to be the vice chief of staff of the Space Force. “We haven’t begun to work that yet,” Raymond said.The Pentagon-based staff now has about 40 people but will grow to 200 by March. The first official hire was a civilian to oversee personnel administration and policy.Patricia Mulcahy, a member of the senior executive service who was deputy assistant secretary of the Air Force for force management integration, is now the head of personnel for the Space Force. This is a key hire, said Raymond, as Mulcahy will help “open up the processes to bring the others on board.”The plan is to transfer thousands of airmen who currently perform space duties into the Space Force. On Dec. 20, Barrett assigned to the Space Force 16,000 airmen and civilians who worked under Air Force Space Command. But none of them, other than Raymond, have yet left the Air Force.“Some of those airmen will come off the books of the Air Force and into the Space Force. And some won’t,” said Raymond. Identifying what units will join the Space Force is part of the planning that is now underway. In addition to personnel from the former Air Force Space Command, training units based at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, as well as science and technology labs might be moved over. Compared to the other branches, said Raymond, the Space Force will be “more of a technology focused service.”Another goal is to bring in members of the other military services. “One of the homework assignments is to come back with a proposal to Congress for next year to open this up to other services,” said Raymond. There will be a plan to integrate National Guard and Reserve forces as well. “We rely very heavily on the Guard and Reserves today,” he said. “We’re going to figure out the best way to utilize those forces.”There is no playbookThe United States hasn’t established a separate service since 1947 when the Air Force was stood up. “It’s not like there was this playbook that said ‘step one: do this,’” said Raymond.Many people are curious about the uniforms, the logos and the patches, but there is so much more that goes into creating a service. “What do you call an airman that’s in space? Eventually we’ll have to have a service song. There’s lots of different thoughts,” he said. “Some pieces are imminently going to be announced. Other pieces are going to take a couple of months as we continue to refine things.”What field commands will be created under the Space Force is another key decision. A group of 120 military and civilian leaders last week met to discuss possible field organizations. “I’m not ready to announce any decisions yet,” said Raymond. “We’ll continue to refine it.”The Space Force could end up with three major field organizations but that is still being debated. One would be focused on operations, another on acquisitions and a third on training and professional development. Barrett on Dec. 20 redesignated the 14th Air Force as Space Operations Command, which would be one of the field organizations. The acquisition command would absorb the Space and Missile Systems Center and other smaller organizations.The NDAA directed the establishment of a Space Acquisition Council and created a new assistant secretary of the Air Force for space acquisition and integration position.How the Space Force will organize its acquisition office is now being deliberated, said Raymond. “We’ll present that to Congress” in the coming months. The goal is to create an organization that will be nimble and move faster than traditional military procurement offices.Air Force bases to be renamedAir Force bases that predominantly do space operations will be renamed Space Force bases, said Raymond. That would include Peterson Air Force Base, Schriever Air Force Base and Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado; Patrick Air Force in Florida; Vandenberg Air Force Base in California; Cavalier Air Force Station in North Dakota; Alaska’s Clear Air Force Station and Thule Air Base in Greenland.“I expect over the coming months we’ll work to rename those,” said Raymond.The Air Force however will continue to run those bases. “We are not transferring into the Space Force all the support functions that would be needed to run bases.”Raymond said renaming bases is one of many changes that will help build a space-focused culture that over time will shape the identity of the service.“There’s so much excitement,” said Raymond. The number-one question he gets asked is “how do I join?” he said. The Space Force has an opportunity to attract recruits who typically would not think of joining the military but are passionate about space, said Raymond. “We have a lot of people knocking on our door wanting to be part of this.”Some have expressed concern that space programs and activities that have been advanced by the Air Force will be slowed down or disrupted because of the reorganization.That is a valid concern, said Raymond. He constantly reminds his staff to “keep your eye on the ball,” he said. “I actually believe there’s going to be a level of disruption any time you do a reorganization of this size.”Air Force Space Command over the last couple of years had been undergoing change before it became a separate U.S. Space Force. “We are evolving because the strategic environment of space is evolving. It’s no longer a benign domain, it’s a warfighting domain. And that requires significant change across the board in how we train, how we develop people, what architectures we have. All this is being laid out.”Feinstein: The Chinese Fox“I sometimes say that in my last life maybe I was Chinese.”—Sen.?Dianne FeinsteinAs media, intelligence agency, and political scrutiny of foreign meddling is seemingly at its apex, a story with big national security implications involving a high-ranking senator with access to America’s most sensitive intelligence information has been hiding in plain sight.The story involves China and the senior U.S. senator from California, and former chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Democrat Dianne Feinstein. It was buried eight paragraphs into a recent?Politico?exposé?on foreign efforts to infiltrate Silicon Valley, as a passing example of political espionage:Former intelligence officials…[said] Chinese intelligence once recruited a staff member at a California office of U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein, and the source reported back to China about local politics. (A spokesperson for Feinstein said the office doesn’t comment on personnel matters or investigations, but noted that no Feinstein staffer in California has ever had a security clearance.)Later comes additional detail:According to four former intelligence officials, in the 2000s, a staffer in Senator Dianne Feinstein’s San Francisco field office was reporting back to the MSS [China’s Ministry of State Security, its intelligence and security apparatus]. While this person, who was a liaison to the local Chinese community, was fired, charges were never filed against him. (One former official reasoned this was because the staffer was providing political intelligence and not classified information—making prosecution far more difficult.) The suspected informant was ‘run’ by officials based at China’s San Francisco Consulate, said another former intelligence official. The spy’s handler ‘probably got an award back in China’ for his work, noted this former official, dryly.This anecdote provides significantly more questions than answers. For starters: Who was the spy? For how long was the spy under surveillance? What information about “local politics” was the spy passing back to China? Just how close was the spy to the senator? Did law enforcement officials sweep vehicles and other areas for listening devices? Was there an investigation into whether others in the senator’s circle may have been coordinating with Beijing?Did the senator expose herself to potential blackmail, or the public to danger through leakage of sensitive, highly classified information? Is firing really the proper punishment for providing political intelligence to a foreign power?The Details Right Now Are Few and BlurryWe now know only the most basic of additional details about what occurred in Feinstein’s office. Five years ago, the FBI approached the senator to apprise her that a San Francisco-based staffer was being investigated under suspicion of spying for China. According to the?San Francisco Chronicle, Feinstein’s hometown paper, this staffer, who had worked with Feinstein for almost 20 years, drove her around in San Francisco and “served as gofer in her San Francisco office and as a liaison to the Asian American community, even attending Chinese Consulate functions for the senator.”An unnamed source added that a Chinese MSS official first approached the staffer during a visit to Asia several years prior. Given his proximity to Feinstein, we have no idea what information he could have gleaned in her employ. We do have a presumed identity.?The Daily Caller?discovered that a Feinstein staffer named Russell Lowe, listed on the senator’s payroll as an “office director” as of 2013 before he was let go, matches the description of the Chinese asset.It appears Lowe continues to operate freely in the United States. A year after he was removed from Feinstein’s staff, Lowe spoke at a conference on Chinese investment in California. In October 2017 he visited a South Korean publication’s office with former Rep. Mike Honda (D-CA), indicating he still had access to political figures.Lowe presently serves as secretary general of the?Education for Social Justice Foundation, which seeks to “educate the public on unresolved historical conflicts, human rights, and crimes against humanity.”?The Chinese government?likely views its present focus favorably: Japanese abuses during the World War II era via its “comfort women” system whereby 200,000 girls from 13 or more Asian countries were forced into sexual slavery. Lowe discusses the nonprofit’s work?here.It took a tweet from President Trump implying hypocrisy, given Feinstein’s role investigating “Russian collusion” as a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, while a Chinese spy had infiltrated her own office, to force the senator to address the issue.Feinstein’s account conflicts with what has been reported regarding the recruitment and activities of the Chinese spy. She conveniently omits that her office employed this individual for almost 20 years in a close capacity, while he represented the senator in interactions with Chinese officials.A Short History of Dianne Feinstein’s Love for ChinaFor the last 40 years, no politician in America has arguably maintained a deeper, more longstanding and friendlier relationship with China, at the highest levels of its ruling Communist Party, than Feinstein. It dates back to the opening of U.S.-Chinese diplomatic relations in 1979.Shortly thereafter, Feinstein, then mayor of San Francisco,?established a “sister city” relationship with Shanghai, one of the earliest and most robust such relationships in U.S.-China history. Soon after, Feinstein led a mayoral delegation to China joined by her husband, investor Richard Blum, a trip they took together many times over the ensuing years as the relationship between both Feinsteins and China grew.During the 1980s, as mayor of San Francisco, Feinstein developed a close friendship with Shanghai Mayor Jiang Zemin. This substantially enhanced Feinstein’s foreign policy profile, and created an important linkage to the U.S. government for China’s Communist Party (CCP).Just as Feinstein rose to a prominent position in foreign affairs and national security in the U.S. Senate, first on the Foreign Relations Committee and later as chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Jiang rose to the top of Chinese leadership, serving as chairman of the Central Military Commission, general secretary of the CCP, and president of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Under Jiang’s leadership, the PRC initiated a?brutal crackdown against practitioners of Falun Gong, including mass imprisonments, beatings, torture, rape, organ harvesting, and murder, and engaging in alleged?human rights atrocities against Tibetans. Feinstein never renounced her friendship with Jiang, in spite of these acts.Feinstein and Jiang?reportedly?visited each other regularly in the 1980s, with Jiang once spending Thanksgiving in San Francisco with Feinstein and her husband. Jiang?supposedly danced with Feinstein?during one such visit, which surely must have been a propaganda coup for the CCP?a la Ted Kennedy and the Soviets.It Turned Out to Be a Lucrative RelationshipIn 1986, Feinstein and Jiang designated several corporate entities for fostering commercial relations, one named Shanghai Pacific Partners. Feinstein’s husband served as a director. His financial position was relatively small, less than $500,000 on one project, the only such position in China the Feinstein family held when Feinstein entered the Senate in 1992.‘They said that Feinstein’s consistent support for China’s interests cannot help but benefit her husband’s efforts to earn profits there.’That project, however, which Blum’s firm participated in alongside PRC state-run Shanghai Investment Trust Corp., was one of the first joint ventures between San Francisco and Chinese investors,?reportedly?“cited by Chinese officials as a testament to the friendly business ties between Shanghai and San Francisco that Feinstein had initiated.” Subsequently Blum’s investments in the Middle Kingdom mushroomed.In May 1993, Feinstein?expressed her strong support?on the Senate floor for continued trading with China. Contemporaneously, her husband was seeking to raise up to $150 million from investors, including himself, for a variety of Chinese enterprises.In August 1993, Feinstein and her husband visited Beijing for extensive meetings with Chinese leaders at President Jiang’s invitation. As the?Los Angeles Times?reported in a 1994 exposé on Feinstein’s husband’s business ties and the potential conflict of interests they presented: “Such encounters are fondly remembered when deals are clinched back in China, according to American experts in Chinese business practices. They said that Feinstein’s consistent support for China’s interests cannot help but benefit her husband’s efforts to earn profits there.”The historical record suggests these American experts were right. Blum successfully raised $160 million for the aforementioned Asia fund under his Newbridge Capital investment company, including investing $1-2 million himself. The fund invested in several state-owned and Chinese government-linked businesses.Why, We Love Trading with ChinaBlum’s firm’s largest holding—at the time his?China investments began to draw scrutiny?in 1997—was its stake in Northwest Airlines. The then-estimated $300 million position was poised to significantly appreciate in value, as Northwest happened to be the sole airline operator providing nonstop service from the United States to any city in China.On one such visit in January 1996, Feinstein and Blum enjoyed a meal with President Jiang.When questioned on his China investments, Blum pledged to donate future profits from the holdings to his nonprofit foundation to help Tibetan refugees, thereby “remov[ing] any perception that I, in any way, shape or form benefit from or influence my wife’s position on China as a U.S. senator.” But these conflict of interest issues persisted.In January 1995, Feinstein was appointed to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Subsequently, she made several visits to China, accompanied by her husband, where she met with senior government officials.During these trips it the couple was wined and dined. On one such visit in January 1996, Feinstein and Blum enjoyed a meal with President Jiang in Zhongnanhai, the exclusive leadership compound for China’s Communist Party, where according to Feinstein they ate in Mao Zedong’s residence in the room where he died.Feinstein kept up her dogged support for increased trade with China. In May 1996, she penned an editorial in the?Los Angeles Times?calling for the United States to grant most-favored-nation trading status to China “on a permanent basis and get past the annual dance that is proving to be extraordinarily divisive and not at all helpful toward reaching the oft-stated goal: improvement in human rights.”Campaign Contributions from Foreign SourcesWhile Feinstein maintained her pro-China positions, in March 1997, the senator?revealed?that the FBI had warned her the Chinese government might seek to funnel illegal contributions to her campaign fund. She was one of only six members of Congress to receive such a warning. As the?New York Times?noted at the time, Feinstein had returned $12,000 in 1994 contributions from people with connections to Lippo Bank, an arm of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate owned by the Riady family, with investments and operations throughout Asia. It employed a senior American executive named John Huang.At the time Feinstein disclosed returning the Lippo-tied contributions, Huang was under Justice Department investigation.The Riadys had been friends and supporters of the Clintons since Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas. Clinton named Huang, a top fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee (DNC), his deputy assistant secretary of commerce.At the time Feinstein disclosed returning the Lippo-tied contributions, Huang was under Justice Department investigation for making potentially illegal contributions to the Democratic Party from foreign sources.?He later pled guilty?to violating campaign finance laws as part of the?investigation into Chinese attempts to influence U.S. policy through illegal campaign contributions stemming from the 1996 election.It was later revealed that Huang may have had a direct financial relationship with the Chinese government. The DNC returned more than half of the $3 million he had collected for the party. In 1998,?an unclassified report?from the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs stated that the Riadys—Huang’s former employer, the leader of which?had also pled guilty to campaign finance violations—“had a long-term relationship with a Chinese intelligence agency.”What is the connection to Feinstein? In June 1996, the senator held a fundraiser at her home attended by President Clinton, Huang, and Xiaoming Dia, chairman of a Hong Kong-based investment company in which Lippo Group had owned a controlling stake until 1994.The Chinese Get Feinstein’s Lucrative Political SupportIn May 2000, Feinstein lobbied for making permanent normal trading relations with China, a measure that ultimately passed, and helped pave the way for its entrance into the World Trade Organization, which Feinstein also supported. At the time, a spokesperson for Feinstein indicated that her husband had divested of his last holdings in mainland China in 1999. But Blum’s stake in another Newbridge Capital Asia fund, which contained investments in China, belied that assertion.Meanwhile, in the years leading to the passage of that legislation, Blum’s Newbridge Capital?reportedly invested?more than $400 million into East Asian businesses, at least $90 million of which was “invested in companies whose profits are pegged to the burgeoning mainland China market, according to the companies themselves,” and several of which were partly owned or founded by the Chinese government. If nothing else, Blum still stood to profit handsomely from management fees for these portfolios.Defense companies in which Blum’s firms were invested signed billions of dollars in military contracts approved by Feinstein’s committee.Such investments in Chinese assets continued. In 2004,?Newbridge Capital purchased an 18 percent stake in Shenzhen Development Bank, the first time a foreign company took effective control of a Chinese lender. From 2001 to 2005, Feinstein served as chair of the Senate Military Construction Appropriations Committee. During this time,?defense companies in which Blum’s firms were invested signed billions of dollars in military contracts approved by Feinstein’s committee.This suggests a parallel pattern in the Feinstein family’s political and business dealings that adversaries like China surely could have sought to exploit. When pressed on conflicts of interest, however, on?multiple?occasions?Feinstein has flippantly responded by rhetorically asking what she could do to satisfy those raising the issue, short of getting divorced.Feinstein’s husband has stressed that his?ties to the Dalai Lama?and criticism of Chinese human rights violations would never have helped him curry favor with the Chinese, and maintained no conflict of interest between his wife’s position and his investments.The senator recently co-sponsored the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (FIRRMA),?incorporated into the pending National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which gives the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States greater oversight over foreign transactions, geared in part towards China’s malign efforts to gain valuable technology and steal intellectual property. But provisions penalizing?sanctions-violating?Chinese telecommunications company ZTE were stripped from the NDAA at the Trump administration’s urging.Interestingly, perhaps anticipating future troubles (the?House Intelligence Committee would first warn that ZTE posed national security risks in 2012), in October 2011,?ZTE hired its first in-house lobbyist: None other than former Feinstein aide Peter Ruffo, a?position it appears he still holds today.Feinstein’s Related Apologism for the Chinese GovernmentFeinstein’s economic positions frequently downplayed the PRC’s rampant human rights violations. The senator has fashioned herself a peacemaker, often urging appeasement of the Chinese regime in both apologism for such abuses and urging restraint.Feinstein also argued against tying China’s most-favored-nation trading status to human rights improvements.These efforts date back to the early 1980s. Until that time, participants in San Francisco’s Chinese New Year Parade displayed the flag of the Nationalist Chinese government, which had ruled in exile on Taiwan after 1949. According to?San Francisco Gate, then-mayor Feinstein “asked organizers to stop the partisan practice because she wanted to encourage trade with China.”Feinstein also?argued against tying China’s most-favored-nation trading status to human rights improvements. In an argument that reads as not only beyond na?ve, but demonstrates an offensive moral equivalency, Feinstein added: “Chinese society continues to open up with looser ideological controls, freer access to outside sources of information and increased media reporting.?More people in China vote for their leadership on the local level than do Americans.?Economic liberalization is introducing market forces into the economy. Educational levels are up, along with wages and the standard of living” (emphasis mine).In March 1996,?Feinstein sought to ease tensions between China and Taiwan, arranging discussions with high-level Chinese dignitaries on Capitol Hill,?at China’s behest. During this period, Feinstein took an uncharacteristically aggressive stance towards China’s hostile actions, conducting missile tests near Taiwan, presumably in line with the Clinton administration: “We view the missile exercises…as provocative and unnecessary.”She took an arguably harsher line towards then-Taiwanese President Lee Teng-Hui, stating: “What is really necessary is for [the leaders of] Taiwan to make a statement in word and in deed that they will adhere to a one-China policy.”In February 1997, Feinstein against?sought to draw an offensive moral equivalence between America and Communist China?in calling for a joint U.S.-China commission to examine “the evolution of human rights in both countries over the last 20 or 30 years,” that would “point out the success and failures–both Tiananmen Square and Kent State.”In a June 2010 interview with the?Wall Street Journal?covering a trip to China in which she met with old pals Jiang and former premier Zhu Rongji, Feinstein seemed to further downplay and even alibi the Tiananmen Square massacre:I think that was a great setback for China in the view of the world. And I think China has also – as we would – learned lessons from it.It just so happens I was here after that and talked to Jiang Zemin and learned that at the time China had no local police. It was just the PLA [People’s Liberation Army]. And no local police that had crowd control. So, hence the tanks.Clearly none of that made good sense. But that’s the past. One learns from the past. You don’t repeat it. I think China has learned a lesson.That year, Feinstein also?challenged?the Obama administration’s $6.4 billion arms sale to Taiwan,?calling?it a “substantial irritant” to U.S.-China relations.Similarly, in late 2015, Feinstein effectively sought to defend the CCP from criticism, on a purportedly pragmatic basis, in?fighting legislation?from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) that would have named the street running in front of the Chinese Embassy in Washington DC “Liu Xiaobo Plaza.” Xiaobo, a Nobel Prize-winning anti-Communist writer and human rights activist, had at the time been held in jail for seven years by the Chinese government for criticizing the regime.When Cruz?sought unanimous consent?for the bill on the occasion of President Xi Jinping’s U.S. visit, Feinstein blocked it. A month later, when Cruz reintroduced the measure, citing a statement co-authored by Feinstein and her Democrat colleague Pat Leahy calling for Xiaobo’s release, Feinstein?again blocked the legislation.Finally, in February 2016,?the bill cleared the Senate?in a unanimous voice vote, though it died in the House amid a veto threat from the Obama administration. Later, Feinstein did?co-sponsor a resolution?honoring Xiaobo’s freedom-fighting efforts—shortly after his death, in state custody, in July 2017.This Is About Much More than a Chinese SpyLet us review the facts here.China has for almost 40 years cultivated warm relations with Feinstein.Feinstein has uniformly taken political positions supporting greater ties with China while taking a relatively dovish and strictly apologist line on its human rights atrocities.Feinstein’s husband has profited handsomely during Feinstein’s career from the greatly expanded China trade she supported. It is of course possible that the Feinstein family’s privileged position with the Chinese regime improved his investment opportunities.Feinstein has served as a key intermediary between China and the U.S. government, while serving on committees whose work would be of keen interest to the PRC.A staffer of almost two decades in close proximity to Feinstein was allegedly successfully recruited by China’s MSS and fed China “political intelligence.”Imagine for a second how a motivated and empowered prosecutor would operate in this situation if tasked with exploring “any links and/or coordination” between the Chinese government, Feinstein, and individuals associated with her office.Few American officials could have been as potentially exposed to the PRC’s skilled intelligence service as Feinstein. Here we have not only proof of a spy, but real evidence of consistently pro-Chinese policy that at very best created the appearance of a financial conflict of interest.Recall that the Chinese regime conducted the?cataclysmic U.S. Office of Personnel Management hack, arming it with the most compromising possible information on 21 million government employees and applicants. Then?the PRC liquidated America’s entire informant network?on the Chinese mainland. So why isn’t this a major national story drawing hysterical cries of treason and calls for impeachment?Feinstein’s dealings with the Chinese must be investigated. But so too ought the links between federal officials and all of our adversaries, be it the Chinese and Russians, the?Pakistanis?and Iranians, or the Muslim Brotherhood and its?state supporters. Feinstein is only one politician. How many other relationships with American politicians have the Chinese and our other adversaries fostered? How many spies might they have recruited?We need a top-to-bottom reform of our government’s vetting efforts, and enhancement of our counterintelligence capabilities. Attempts by foreign countries to infiltrate our political offices pose a grave national security threat, as Feinstein’s record clearly shows. With people like her on pertinent congressional committees, however, how many foxes have been elected to guard the henhouse?Chapter 31“Mr. President, the device has been detonated,” said the Secretary of Defense. The new Boeing was smooth and quiet, even at nearly 50 thousand feet. The Situation Room was much larger than the one on the two aging 747s. The chairs were anchored to the floor around the table, but there was enough room to recline and sleep, if meetings ran into long hours. The table’s material was lightweight but made to look like polished rosewood and had portals for secure laptops at each sitting station. The President sat in the center of the side toward the hallway, facing the portals on the outside of the plane’s fuselage. “How many people were killed?” asked the President.“Unknown, sir. If there is any good news, the blast was not as large as expected. Something went wrong inside the device,” said the Secretary.“I want to know the names of every victim. Their families need to be helped. What news of the other two aircraft?” asked the President.“They’re both down. One with all hands safe in Greenland. One engine out. One Nork sub destroyed. The other is missing over the Gulf,” said the Secretary.“Could we have stopped this?” asked the President.“I don’t think so, sir. My sources say it was planned for a long time,” said the Secretary.“What are you saying? That they knew I was going to win the White House years ago?” asked the President.“No sir. They actually planned on doing this while Hillary was president to allow them to implement the next phase of their plan,” said the Secretary.“Oh my God. You’re kidding, right? She was going to kill our own people to take people’s rights away from them?” asked the President.“The Syndicate. Yes sir. It wouldn’t be the first time,” said the Secretary.“But the last one was when Bush was president. Was he part of it, too?” asked the President.“Not relevant, sir. The planning was done before Clinton was president. If you’ll recall, no one really knew who won the 2000 election until early summer. The Democrats took it all the way to the Supreme Court, trying to overturn the election. It didn’t matter. They wanted the airports, the schools, and the hospitals under their control. It was the only way to create the DHS, the TSA; the whole Defense Act without massive resistance by the people. All went according to plan. They cut those buildings down with controlled demolition, destroyed the evidence, and the Syndicate’s propaganda machine made sure nobody really cared to know the truth,” said the Secretary.“I never believed such evil existed in the world. You know, I wondered if there would ever come a time when I wished I never won the presidency. I guess this is one of those times,” said the President.“With respect, sir, I thank God every day that you are the President. We’re with you. I mean that. This was going to happen with or without you being in the White House. Believe me when I say, we are all grateful you accepted the call,” said the Secretary.“Well, that being the case, we better turn this ship toward home, don’t you think?” asked the President.“Yes sir. Do you need anything?” asked the Secretary.“Is the First Lady awake?” asked the President.“No one but the crew, State, and me,” said the Secretary.“Maybe I’ll take a nap. How long until we get within radio range?” asked the President.“I’d say four hours. You’ll need your rest. Go ahead,” said the Secretary.“James?” asked the President.“Yes sir,” said the Secretary pausing by the door.“Thank you for your service. I could never have done this without you,” said the President.“I dodged so many bullets in my life, I’m convinced I’ve been saved for something special. I reckon this is it, Mr. President,” said the Secretary.“Let’s go get our country back,” said the President.“Oo rah, Mr. President.”Within minutes, the plane stopped its lazy zigzag pattern and made a high, banking turn toward the Arctic Circle. No longer conserving fuel, the two mighty engines surged toward the faint star at the end of the Big Dipper. The President made his way quietly to his quarters, slipped his jacket off and hung it on the fixture in the center of the massive closet. He washed his face with cold water, dried it on the cotton towel, put on his pajamas, and slid into bed next to his sleeping wife. He didn’t think it would come too easily. It never had before. But within a few, deep breaths, the three days he had gone without sleep relented, and he fell into a deep and quiet sleep.Boeing had almost spared no expense on this ship, knowing that it would make perhaps hundreds of treks over the most turbulent spiral of high-speed wind on the planet. They had mounted the first bed on special servos that could counteract the wiggles and bumps these big birds endured, leaving the bed frame practically motionless relative to the plane. Layers of open and closed cell foam did the rest to keep the over-sized king mattress as motionless as though it was mounted on a granite slab on the 95th floor of Trump Tower. The Chief of Staff got the notice first that the ship was fifteen minutes from being able to utilize the 2-meter radio transmitter with a narrow-beam antenna mounted in the enormous carbon-fiber nosecone to send the President’s message. “Okay. Thanks. Actually, I feel pretty good. What’s in the cup?” asked the Chief of Staff.“It’s coffee with a double shot of oxygen,” said the tall girl in a black flight jumper. “Sounds interesting. Just leave it there. I’ve got some bullet points to put together,” said the Chief of Staff.“Yes sir. It’s better hot,” said the girl as she left his small quarters and closed the door.He took a sip of the hot coffee and rolled the flavor around his tongue before swallowing it. The warmth sent a wave through his body as he slipped a fresh white shirt on from the small closet in his sleeping room. Remaining at high altitude fatigued the body, because the cabin pressure was actually close to six thousand five hundred feet. After twenty hours in the air, it was easy to lose some mental sharpness. Injecting pressurized oxygen into the water used to make coffee made it available to the body through absorption, rather than breathing. The effect was better decisions.He cinched up his tie, slid his arms through his customary dark blue jacket and hooked his first two fingers through the black mug for another sip as he headed up the narrow hall toward the POTUS section. He loved working with Donald Trump. He was limitless. Although he never served in the military, he had the right thoughts about it. Neither Clinton, nor Obama served in the military, but they hated the institutions. Both men were quick on the draw and had no problem bombing civilians and fighters alike, if, and only if, there was a political advantage. They would run commercials before a focus group. If it went well, the bombs were dropped sometimes within minutes. If the line in the sand got a little too much pushback, they would halt in their tracks, even if it meant losing entire cities to our enemies.Trump wasn’t afraid of using force, but he didn’t sit down with a focus group before taking action. Our enemies knew it as well, because a few of them called his bluff and lost. No one bluffs Donald Trump. He stopped at his door and pressed the panel by the door. The screen brought up a keypad, and he poked in his code to bring the lights up on the President’s nightstand. Within seconds the door cracked open. “It’s time, sir. I’ll get Mad Dog,” said the Secretary.“Thanks, John. I’ll be right out,” said the President.He walked toward the Situation Room and noticed the light was already on. The Secretary of Defense was already standing in front of the conference table along with a few members of the House and Senate Intelligence Committee. The Boeing could seat more than 400 people, but in this configuration there was only room for 235 people. The leaders inside the Administration who believed in America were quietly transported to the Boeing facility in time for the secret test flight. The two 747s were decoys; one on the ground in Greenland with a hole through its #3 engine, and the other missing for unknown reasons.“Did you hear this broadcast on the EAS bands by Hillary?” asked Secretary Mattis.“That’s got to make your boys at the Pentagon hot to trot,” said Secretary Kelly.“I like to make people afraid of the dark, you know,” said Mattis.“I guess we’re headed for Camp David. That’s okay with you?” asked Kelly.“It’s nobody’s business what happens down there. I’m glad I never became a lawyer,” said Mattis.“I just got a funny feeling,” said Kelly with his now famous understated smile.“Funny like, watching a pit bull chase cats?” asked Mattis.“Funny like, they have no idea what’s coming,” said Kelly.“Okay gentlemen. I’ll take your input now,” said President Trump walking into the Situation Room. It was his way of priming everyone to take rapid turns giving their elevator pitches. ‘If you can’t tell me your story by the 25th floor, what the hell good are you?’ he would say.“They’re celebrating their victory and making their speeches from the Site R Radio Room in Building E. There are only three ways out of there, and my guys will be ready by the time we land at Camp David,” said Mattis.“I say we ghost their broadcast and let Mad Dog do his thing, Mr. President,” said Kelly.“Anyone else? Say it now, or shut the hell up. Okay, let me see the bullet points, John,” said the President.He took a deep breath through his nose and focused on the list of points John Kelly had penned a few minutes before. He thought of Baron and Tiffany and the Golden Mothers he had met just a couple weeks ago. He couldn’t stop the mental image of smoke blowing around the green valley south of Nashville. He recalled the hundreds of enthusiastic people that greeted him at Davos, Switzerland a few weeks ago. Still, there was a smell of greed and avarice that blamed him for the loss of their control of the world. He was used to tearing up a board room full of haughty news actors, or shouting down a team of bankers trying to steal a loan from his portfolio. He was not used to seeing so many people in custom tuxedos who wanted him dead.“When do we go live?” asked the President.“I vote for John’s idea first. We ghost their broadcast. Let them think it’s being heard by the world, but shut down the range to about twenty miles. Let me move a brigade to the main entrances of Site R with a backup on the hill. They won’t dare take a shot at our guys. That leaves the 6.7 mile Camp David corridor as the only way out. We’ll let them begin their escape, and then we’ll see if they’re afraid of the dark. Once they’re running down that tunnel thinking to escape, we put them to sleep,” said Mattis.“What about the Norks, Mr. President?” asked Kelly.“I’ve given that a lot of thought since 9/11, you know,” said the President.“Why that far back, if you don’t mind me asking?” asked Kelly.“Not the Norks, per se. I mean how would I have responded? What’s the right way to respond to a single act of terror like this? If you think about it, how Bush responded to that event changed the world forever. In a bad way, that I can tell you. “There was a moment when we weren’t at war, after that attack. And then, suddenly we were at war. I always thought about that day. I could smell that whole business from my home on 5th Avenue, you know. America was kind of in this state of numbness, like when you get hit by a car and you’re still awake. And in that state of weakness, some bad guys moved in, packed up our civil rights, and took them away. We went and spent a trillion dollars to blow a bunch of places up, but we lost nearly all our rights. They just came in and took them. We lost all our airports in like a month. We got a dozen new bureaucracies and have to be strip searched any time we want to fly anywhere. We lost. I never understood that.“So, I want to address that. And, I don’t want to make the same mistake with America. This time we win. You understand that? This time we win,” said President Trump.“I get it, Mr. President,” said Secretary Kelly. “When do we let the world know we’re still alive? How close are we?” asked President Trump.“My Marines will be at Camp David within the hour,” said Secretary Mattis.“Okay. Let’s do this,” said President Trump.The three men descended the stairs below the floor into the radio studio where a young Airman stood by. The tiny studio could seat four people, so they entered, and Kelly pulled the door closed and sealed it. They sat in front of the glass while the President sat behind the glass. It was practically silent with extra sound deadening and isolation from the whine of the two enormous turbofan engines and from the fuselage moving through the atmosphere at more than 11 miles a minute. The Airman pressed the power buttons on the linear amplifiers of the two-meter radio and pointed to the President through the glass.The President adjusted the mic close to his mouth and settled the headphones over his ears. He had one half-sheet of paper in front of him with some printed bullet points from General John Kelly, his trusted Chief of Staff. There was no speech writer, no focus group, and no rehearsal. This was it. “My fellow Americans, this is your President speaking to you from an undisclosed location, for national security reasons. First, let me tell you that I am indeed alive, and so is the core of my cabinet and many of your elected officials. We are safe and on our way as we speak to help you.“We are waiting for the facts to come in, but it appears that a small nuclear device was detonated just outside of Nashville, Tennessee. Thanks to extremely fast thinking of our men and women in uniform, and members of our intelligence community, it could have been so much worse. I know it’s bad, but it could have been worse. For now, stay inside, drink plenty of water, Iodine if you have it, and wait for help to arrive. “I promise you that help is on the way. Many of you are just now finding out what happened, because of the nature of these types of weapons. They’re designed to take out communications and maybe even knock out your power. But let me assure you that experts are telling me that the device only caused temporary damage. All of our power plants survived. Within a few days, we should have power restored. Don’t panic. Emergency teams are on their way to the Nashville area now, and properly equipped volunteers are forming rescue companies faster that the Federal government ever could. Believe me, we are feeding them tools, supplies, and support as fast as we can.“Now, I know you are wondering who did this. Well, for one thing, the person responsible for building the device died in the event. He will never do it again, that’s for sure. The technology to build it came from North Korea, but they are only part of the picture.“You will recall the Senate Intelligence Oversight Committee condensed hundreds of pages of evidence into a 4-page memo that we considered releasing to the public. At the last minute, we decided to begin the process of making some arrests from that memo for activities that could be classified no other way but treason. I know that sounds strong coming from a President, and it is, because it was nothing less than treason against the sovereignty and the Constitution of the United States of America. Maybe we should have gone public with it, but it was decided not to. “Well, if I had to do it over again, I would have made it public and let the chips fall where they may. I know there are many of you now in the sound of my voice that want something to be done. This criminal Syndicate, many members of which are named in that memo, has been trying to take over America since the moment of the blast. They shot down two Presidential Air Force aircraft today. Even now, we’re not sure of our losses in those attacks. Rumors of the deaths of my cabinet and I are greatly exaggerated, let me tell you that.“I know how you feel. We’ve been here before. We had a President stand on a pile of rubble and take our world back to war. And I know many of you want us to go to war and wipe these guys off the face of the Earth. But, I have given this eighteen years of thought and prayer. I doubt a day has passed I haven’t thought about it. Let me comfort you and assure you that this is not a time for war. This is a time of justice. And the sword of justice shall fall swift and terrible for the members of this Syndicate trying to take our country from us. “Our friends and our enemies are watching us, right now. They are wondering if we will prove ourselves a nation governed by the rule of law. They are watching if once again the wealthy and the politically powerful will walk free. Well, watch and wonder no more. You have my word that we are coming for them; each and every one of them. We have a place to hold them away from their cymbals and their horns. We have laws and judges and courtrooms waiting. And outside of those rooms we have gallows and prisons prepared for them. The time for justice has arrived. In the next few hours, the laws of our country will be swiftly and surely executed, once and for all.“My heart is with you right now. God bless you all, and God bless the United States of America.” He looked up at the Airman on the other side of the glass and winked. The amplifiers were put into standby, and the President took off the headphones.Over the next few days and weeks, the attempted Coup against the American government was thwarted. Members of the Syndicate fatally resisted arrest in the deep tunnels of Site R. Hundreds more were arrested, stripped of their assets, and sent to prison. Lawyers, Agency officers, and contractors were also rounded up in massive sting operations that had been operating for over a year. Foreign foundations were raided, their assets also seized, and their boards of directors were arrested and jailed for subversive activities. The laws and rules once used by the Syndicate’s legal armies to protect themselves, and to conduct terroristic litigation against their enemies, were turned against them by the Department of Justice. The President did go to war, but it was fought by Grand Juries and U.S. Marshalls. Oppressed countries like Haiti and South Africa celebrated in the streets as entire gangs of bankers and oligarchs were arrested, and billions in stolen money was returned to their treasuries. It was a rare time in history, all because one man had the authority and courage to declare the rebirth of the age of justice; indivisible and for all.EpiloguePrivate citizens have secrets. It’s when governments have secrets that freedom and liberty are at risk. In order for there to exist a government that is truly empowered by the people to serve the people, there must be transparency of those operations. When a government has to tell the public that it is transparent, then it most assuredly is not. When the elected government is compromised by global corporations to allow their unelected Agency government to write law, assess taxes, and conduct enforcement actions, the government drifts behind opacity, unseen and untouchable by the people. In 1848, the Anti-Federalists incorporated as the Democratic National Committee, with the sole focus of making sure America is governed by the Executive Branch. Congress lost control and oversight of the American government in 1933, with the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt. That new Agency government grew to overshadow the elected government completely. The flow of propaganda from its many departments is superbly written and universally publicized by a small handful of the elite through every form of media. Any casual survey of public news will reveal that more than 90 percent of the narrative attacks the American government in favor of a globalist philosophy. What is encouraging to behold, is that the American people have refused to totally comply with this propaganda campaign for more than 84 years. Nearly every other nation on Earth has allowed itself to be invaded by enemies, to be robbed of its sovereignty, and to be amalgamated into a globalist population of victims, unable to function without the guidance of a nameless central authority that enslaves them. Their people know they have been enslaved, and yet they lack the will to fight against their oppressors.Americans, historically, have refused to bow down to a central authority. They refused to surrender their individual rights to anyone. That being said, voters, produced by government schools since the creation of the Federal Department of Education, have been far more willing to abdicate their own care and feeding to the State. They have been taught that food, higher education, housing, and healthcare are all rights guaranteed by the State. They have been taught that successful people are obligated to finance these benefits for those who refuse to become productive members of society. They believe that it is government’s job to seize the earnings of the productive members of any community on behalf of those who refuse to produce. Tax revenue from the world’s largest economy, worth more than $100 trillion a year, is over-spent by the Agency government, and there is little or nothing that Congress or the President can do about it. As in all despotic governments, they spend a substantial portion on enriching themselves. They spend a small amount investing in votes to keep their puppets in power, and the rest on their supporters who provide them with the authority from which they receive their bounty. The most casual observer can see there should be no way a politician earning $174 thousand dollars a year can accumulate $70 million in personal wealth in less than 8 years. And yet, nearly every single member of Congress has accomplished that very thing.When something or someone threatens to remove them from power, or to weaken their position, the Agency forces will destroy that enemy. Sometimes, that person is simply shot in the back on the sidewalk. Sometimes, they are targeted by one or more of the Agencies, causing their financial ruin. Sometimes, they are simply tried and convicted in the court of public opinion, even if every word that is printed or read aloud is a complete fabrication. When there are too many enemies to quietly murder, acts of war or terror will be carried out to correct the course in their favor.This book told a true story of the richest, most bloodthirsty criminal Syndicate the world has ever known. Now you know that it is no conspiracy of which I write. The bodies are real. The larceny is real. The weapons of mass destruction are real, and by the time you read these words, the threats of their use to accomplish the ends of this globalist Syndicate will have already occurred.Am I a prophet or a seer? No. I am a statistician and a lifelong professional analyst for some of the world’s largest manufacturing corporations. I had two goals in writing this book. The first was to open your eyes by connecting the events in a sequence for which there can be no doubt whatsoever of their planning and guidance. The Syndicate’s plan has been to destroy the experiment called America. It has been relentless for more than 241 years. During the last 84 years, it has killed nearly 100 million innocent people, stolen trillions of dollars, and will stop at nothing to accomplish its goals; including the use of nuclear weapons to stop America’s current, unprecedented recovery. The second is to warn you, the reader, that there is very little time and yet a very powerful opportunity for each of you to do something to stop the destruction of America. Know this. If this globalist Syndicate is successful and America is destroyed, liberty and freedom will disappear from the Earth forever. At the writing of this book, there is at least one active plot to carry out an act of terror orders of magnitude more deadly than 9/11. They will blame the Republicans and of course the nationalist leadership of Donald Trump. Polls of voters under the age of 45 indicate that 56% of them will agree with that assessment.There must immediately begin a new future, with a new timeline, that does not include the evil presence of this Syndicate. First, the Syndicate’s puppet politicians must be voted out of office. All of them. The best advice I can give to America is to vote 100% of the Democrats out of office. This will complete the already waxing bankruptcy of their corporation and make way for other political parties to reach the State ballots. You should develop a rash every time you hear the world bipartisan. The remaining corrupt Republicans will have no one with whom to collude, so they will starve themselves out of existence or run for their political lives. By the time this book goes to print, you will witness 10% or more of the establishment Republicans retire or announce their resignations.The terms of the next elected government must be limited to prevent what we just witnessed over the past few decades as the Agency government achieved critical mass. If it takes an Article V Convention to amend the Constitution to pass these 6 Amendments, then so be it: Term limits on all elected officials. The current consensus is that the Congressional term should be lengthened to 4 years, and the number of terms should be limited to 3. The Senate’s term is split between people who think they should be removed from elections at large and be returned to appointment by the State Legislature. That would remove the corruption of billions in election campaign funding. Terms would be limited to 3 six-year terms.A balanced Federal budget except in times of lawfully declared war. This would eliminate the Continuing Resolution and the threat of government shutdowns.The Dissolution of all Federal Agencies, Departments, Bureaus, and Administrations to instead be managed by councils of the States. This would end the 655 Agencies, Departments, Bureaus, and Administrations as well as their Federal authority to write law without representation.A revised and clarified Commerce Clause to prevent the Federal mandating of purchased services. This would block things like Obamacare from every occurring.Require positive identification for all individuals who choose to exercise their right to vote in Federal elections. This would prevent massive voter fraud using foreign citizens to vote in Federal elections.Rescind the 16th Amendment and replace it with a Federal sales tax in compliance with the original Constitution. This would eliminate the income tax and stop the unwarranted forfeiture of the 5th Amendment rights of every working American to the IRS.For more information, visit . In order to restore the people’s faith in the integrity of America, the individuals responsible for these heinous criminal acts must be brought to justice and prosecuted with full restitution. If they are left alone, because they are too politically energized to prosecute, then the world stands a very good chance of losing its champion of liberty and freedom.This call to action may not be limited to America. If we want to prevent the globalists from robbing the people of their sovereignty, all free people of the Earth should banish their dictators and oppressive religious regimes. It is a call for Persians to rise up and reclaim their country from the Aryans who robbed their heritage. It is a call for the tribes of Europe to throw off the yoke of oppression by an evil central body of rulers who seek to enslave them. Women of the world must declare their individual sovereignty and throw off the oppression of men. They are free to take off their sacks and show their beautiful smiles according to their own free will and choice. It is a call for all people to declare that all rights come from God and not from government or from churches. The people of Earth are not one people. We are many people from all over the universe, living in harmony on the most amazing planet in existence. It is time to face the truth. None of us are from around here. Instead, we chose to come to this world. So, let us begin to take it one day at a time without war, without evil, and with bounty for all and to spare.Remember; everything we do will eventually affect the universe. Let’s do it on purpose.The End.Switching to the Gold Standard As President Donald Trump named his picks to fill two influential seats on the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors, the price of gold surged. That may be because one of the them, Judy Shelton, is a believer in the return to the gold standard, a money policy abandoned by the U.S. in 1971.Shelton is raising eyebrows among mainstream economists for her views, which include slashing the Fed's benchmark rate to zero and pegging the value of the dollar to gold prices. She's not the first Trump pick for the Fed to advocate a return to the gold standard, with his two previous failed Fed choices -- Stephen Moore and Herman Cain -- also advocating for a revival of the policy.In picking Shelton, Mr. Trump is aiming to place a supporter on the Federal Reserve, which he's argued is slowing economic growth and depressing the stock market by keeping interest rates too high. The Fed currently is maintaining its benchmark rate in a range of 2.25% to 2.5%, but Shelton has?said?she wants to lower rates "as fast, as efficiently, as expeditiously as possible."?To be sure, Mr. Trump's second pick, economist Christopher Waller, holds more mainstream economic views. The research director at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, Waller?has expressed support?for the independence of the Federal Reserve and allowing inflation to run a bit higher, in order to help the economy recover from slowdowns.?Like Mr. Trump, Shelton has a history of attacking the Fed's policies and supporting the gold standard, a monetary policy rejected by most mainstream economists as antiquated.?The planned nominations were announced by Mr. Trump in a tweet late Tuesday. Each must be confirmed by the Senate.What exactly is the gold standard??It's a policy that links the value of a country's currency to gold. The U.S. adopted it in 1879, and it allowed consumers, banks and businesses to exchange a dollar for actual gold. That may sound like a solid deal, given that actual gold would back up your bucks. But there's a downside: A country can only issue as much money as it has backed by gold.?The upshot is that countries on the gold standard have less flexibility to respond to financial crises or economic downturns. Currently, the U.S. dollar isn't tied to any specific asset.?When did the U.S. abandon the gold standard??The long goodbye to the gold standard began with the Great Depression, when panicked consumers sought to trade dollars for gold. To keep the country's gold reserves from becoming depleted, the U.S. had to offer high interest rates as an alternative, which, in turn, made it more expensive to lend money and hampered the country's ability to rebound from the Depression.?In response, President Franklin Roosevelt?suspended the gold standard?in 1933, a move which is widely credited with helping the country climb out of the Depression. That's because the decision allowed the government to lower interest rates and pump money into the economy.But the U.S. still allowed foreign governments to trade dollars for gold, until President Nixon abolished the policy in 1971 as a way to keep gold reserves from depletion. ? ?Why do Shelton and others want to return to the gold standard??Shelton argues it would mark a return to stability and hamper other governments from currency manipulation. In a Wall Street Journal opinion piece, she?wrote?"the classical gold standard established an international benchmark for currency values, consistent with free-trade principles."She added, "Today's arrangements permit governments to manipulate their currencies to gain an export advantage."Others argue that the gold standard would keep U.S. spending under control, because the country would be limited in its ability to issue new money.?Why do mainstream economists believe it's a fringe view??The U.S. economy has grown in complexity since 1971 and certainly since 1933, making the policy less feasible than in earlier eras. And a return to the gold standard could in effect tie the Fed's hands because the central bank would be focused on gold prices, which are partially based on how much of the commodity is being mined.?"A gold standard regime would be a disaster for any large advanced economy,"?said?University of Chicago economist Anil Kashyap. Supporting the gold standard "implies macroeconomic illiteracy."The price of gold, by the way, is up more than 11% this year, passing $1,400 an ounce this week. Bearish investors have been rushing to buy gold the past few months amid concerns that global growth is slowing, especially if U.S.-China trade tensions worsen. Gold jumped further Wednesday as investors saw Mr. Trump's Fed picks as yet another sign the U.S. central bank won't be raising interest rates anytime soon.?Dreaming: A Link to a Parallel UniverseWe have long been fascinated by the concept of dreaming and what they may reveal. With many different theories ranging from psychic glimpses into our future to a glimpse at our innermost thought and desires, scientists are more interested than ever in understanding this phenomenon.Every night, humans have an average of 6-10 dreams. A few minutes after being awoken, these dreams are usually forgotten. However, what if there’s actual meaning to dreams that would make them more lucrative to remember?Subscribe our new Youtube channel To get latest paranormal videos, ghost stories and everything odd and bizarre.Have you ever experienced a dream that was so real and life-like that you felt like you were literally there in the moment? You can feel the breeze on your face, smell the fresh cut grass or taste the food that touched your lips.These realistic dreams feel like much more than just a creation of our imagination. A new science-based theory might actually reveal this to be true…Modern science, as well as Native American tribes and Mexican nations, believe that we, or at least our brains visit a “parallel universe” when we dream. This would explain why humans can dream in color, and can senses with all five feelings what’s happening within the dream.It all starts with the existence of the multiverse, the idea that our universe isn’t the only one out there, in fact, it is just one of many. Within each of these universes is a new reality, one that, while similar to our own, is altered in some way by the decisions that we’ve made.This is a concept that scientists have entertained and explored for many years, however, a controversial 2010 study revealed evidence that there may actually be other universes in existence.Consider the last major decision you made in your life. Maybe you moved to a new town for your dream job. In a parallel universe, another version of ‘you’ may exist that chose, instead, to stay in your hometown and pass on the job.This one change in your narrative then creates a ripple effect, changing every area of your life from that moment on.If you have ever dreamt of your life, but it appeared a little different – maybe you were living in a different house or a different town, you were working a different job, or you find yourself involved with a different partner.What you may actually be experiencing at that moment is a glimpse at your life in a parallel universe. The dream itself feels SO real as if you’re actually standing there, because it, in fact, is real – just in an alternate world. This is the life that the alternate you has created.People often have a recurring dream about a place they never visited, or even heard of. Perhaps such dreams are glimpses from what one experienced in a parallel Universe.Sometimes people dream about events that have not yet happen but will take place in the future. Such dreams could also be incoming images from an alternate world where you are living a different life.Can Parallel Universes Explain Paranormal Phenomena?parallel universePhysicist: There Are Countless Parallel Universes With Different UsWho knows, perhaps some of our most special dreams are a window into a parallel universe. This is of course pure speculation, but without speculation and scientific curiosity we will never be able to learn more about the secrets of the Universe and our reality.So, can some of our dreams be glimpses of events taking place in an alternate reality, a parallel Universe?If our dreams are, in fact, a glimpse into an alternate life, can we use them to explore these worlds? Are we no longer limited to just our own universe? Much further study is required, but this may be the start of some incredible discoveries in the future ................
