Foreign malicious cyber actors threaten our economy and national security through the theft of intellectual property and sensitive data, and by targeting United States critical infrastructure. By gaining access to United States IaaS products, foreign actors can steal the fruits of American innovation and prepare destructive attacks on our Nation’s critical infrastructure with anonymity. Malign actor abuse of United States IaaS products has played a role in every cyber incident during the last four years, including the actions resulting in the penetrations of United States firms FireEye and Solar Winds.”
“Right now there are two mainstream ideas as to what is really going on with Washington DC’s military control. The mainstream narrative is that it’s a natural reaction to the violence that occurred on the Capitol Building on January 6th. The problem with this theory is that there have been no credible calls for an armed protest on Inauguration Day. In fact, Conservative voices have been telling people to stay home and to NOT come to DC. The only credible report that I could find of ANYONE planning on showing up was the Boogaloo Boys, but they are so few in number, that would not warrant the 35,000+ troops on the ground.
On the Conservative side, there’s the claim that this is Donald Trump playing 5D chess, and that the military is there to arrest all of the Deep State who are traitors to the United States of America. They cite the fact that there are fences facing inward, which appear to be designed to keep people IN as opposed to OUT. Now, if that happens, that would be epic and a total Trump move. But is that the game plan, or is there something more sinister going on?
Could this be yet another setup by the Deep State to take out conservatives once and for all. Just as much of the Capitol Riots were designed as a setup to discredit the Conservative Movement, this could be yet another one. They are setting the stage that the Right is extremely violent, and the visual cue for that is the thousands of troops protecting our nation’s capitol. But what happens if there’s an attempt of violence that they thwart or actually allow to occur? This could justify the outright targeting and persecution of all conservatives, treated as an enemy of the state.”
Well, this is was always one of my great fears and the reason I didn’t vote for PDJT the first time around. I thought his whole presidency might be a Trojan horse to discredit conservatives.
I don’t think that now, having watched him for 4 years. And right now, I don’t think this is a set up. The other side is absolutely desperate and the infiltration of the Jan 6 rally, like the hacking of the election software, is a Hail Satan pass born out of sheer desperation at the persisting support for PDJT.
While offices and prosecutors already possess the right to carry a concealed fire arm, the order cuts out the red tape involved, allows for deputizing prosecutors as US marshals, and newly bestows the right to carry concealed weapons to judges.
In addition, investigations of crimes against the foregoing categories will be prioritized and they will be allowed to withhold private information from the public record for their safety.
With this EO, it certainly looks like the Trump administration is preparing carefully for the arrests of powerful people who might be inclined to threaten retribution against officers of the law and the courts for doing their jobs.
On January 14, 2021 indictments were unsealed in New York against 14 of the top bosses of MS-13, considered to be one of the most dangerous transnational crime gangs, one involved in human and drug trafficking right across Central America. MS-13 gang members act as the foot soldiers of the Mexican drug cartels, selling methamphetamine across borders. The Mexican cartels themselves are the end point of transnational drug shipments that start as far afield as China. The indictments came as a result of Trump’s whole-government approach to prosecuting transnational criminal gangs and they charge the gang leaders with terrorist -related crimes.
“Specifically, the indictment charges the defendants with conspiracy to provide and conceal material support to terrorists, conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism transcending national boundaries, conspiracy to finance terrorism and narco-terrorism conspiracy in connection with the defendants’ leadership of the transnational criminal organization over the past two decades from El Salvador, the United States, Mexico and elsewhere.”
6. Thousands of Chinese researchers who concealed their ties to the Chinese government/military have left their posts and returned to China fearing arrest, after the arrest of six of them who lied on their visa applications about their ties to the People’s Liberation Army. Other high-profile cases include the arrest of Dr. Charles Lieber, chairman of Harvard’s chemistry department, who received tens of thousands in grant money from the Wuhan Institute of Technology and lied about it to the Pentagon as well as a top MIT professor who received $19 million in federal grants while concealing his contracts and other ties with PRC entities and has been charged with grant fraud by the DOJ.
The new EO has been issued to make sure that powerful people do not intimidate the officials prosecuting Trump’s war on criminal transnational networks that are operating to corrupt our elections, steal vital research, traffic drugs and human beings between the US and other countries and then launder the proceeds of these activities.
It is a clear sign that he anticipates still more arrests of powerful and dangerous bad actors.
“Evidence uncovered so far, including weapons and tactics seen on surveillance video, suggests a level of planning that has led investigators to believe the attack on the US Capitol was not just a protest that spiraled out of control, a federal law enforcement official says.
Among the evidence the FBI is examining are indications that some participants at the Trump rally at the Ellipse, outside the White House, left the event early, perhaps to retrieve items to be used in the assault on the Capitol.”
The observation that the movement to the Capitol came from the crowd at the Ellipse is seconded in this piece at USA Today:
Many of the rioters came directly from President Donald Trump’s “Save America Rally” that began hours earlier on the Ellipse, a park near the White House. Trump spoke to them for more than an hour, insisting that the election had been stolen.
USA Today’s timeline has the rally at the Ellipse starting around 6 am with some supporters arriving the previous night. It has the Save America Rally beginning at 11 am with speeches by Eric Trump and Don Jr. and Rudy Guiliani, followed by Trump at around 11.50 am.
The speech goes on for about an hour and during the time Trump urges supporters to walk down with him to the Capitol and tell Congress to do the right thing.
USA Today claims the protestors at the rally started the walk at the end of the speech at around 1 pm.
Kassam points out that the first protestors arrived at around 12.40 pm at the Capitol, a half hour before Trump ended his speech at 1.11 pm and over 76 minutes before any supporter could have made the 45 minute walk from the Ellipse to the Capitol following the speech. The outer perimeter of the Capitol had been breached and police chief Sund was calling for the National Guard before the President had even finished his speech. In fact, to do what investigators found them to have done, those who breached the Capitol would have had to have left the Ellipse before Trump began speaking.
Apparently the rally at the Ellipse was to run from 9 to 11, followed by another gathering at the North lawn of the Capitol building at 1. This was announced at the website wildprotest.com which now brings up a 404 error sign.
Other participants have also mentioned the confusion arising from two planned events and the first one running an hour late.
The SGT Report account mentions young men with scary masks but Revolutionary symbols on the backs of their clothes boarding trains running into DC. It also mentions the unusual smell of pot at the Ellipse, but, other than that, nothing unusual about the crowd of mostly white but some Asian and a few black supporters.
He does observe that the earliest people to get to the Capitol were on average younger than the group at the Ellipse and they were the ones scaling the walls and pushing through the metal barriers. He saw smoke, smelled tear gas and heard ceremonial cannon fire but he saw no violence from the protestors and knew nothing about the entry into the Capitol until he heard it from someone else. Then he saw what he thought was an Antifa infiltrator breaking glass to enter the building. Later he heard that a woman had been killed.
As mentioned earlier, Alex Jones paid half a million to book the Ellipse and he said he was asked by Trump to lead the march. The secret service was supposed to call him out earlier to do that but he found that people had already gone on ahead.
“Jones also said he paid close to $500,000 to book the Ellipse, the park where Trump’s supporters initially gathered, and other areas near the Capitol. He said 80% of the money came from an unnamed donor.”
The second interesting point is that investigators are using a counter-terrorism strategy of picking up people who might be of concern in the future on very minimal charges. The targets mentioned in the piece are both Proud Boys leaders who were taken in on fairly innocuous infractions, such as destroying a BLM banner and making ominous online postings. Proud Boys is supposedly a far- right outfit that has picked up a reputation for standing up to BLM and Antifa, which, of course, means that in the mainstream narrative they are violent murderous fascists. I say supposedly because several savvy observers think PB are agents provocateurs themselves.
The final point made in the piece is that investigators are looking for evidence of any kind of command and control behind the protestors, which suggests that they don’t think that the more violent aspects of the rally were set off spontaneously by what Trump said in his speech, which is the mainstream narrative. They think there was a coordinated plan in motion, well before Trump even got to the protest.
Watch this footage taken by New Yorker reporter Luke Mogelson and ask yourself if, given the circumstances, there’s anything at all to be ashamed about in the overall behavior of this crowd of anywhere from half a million to over a million.
I couldn’t have felt prouder watching this honest, courageous, self-restrained ground-swell of patriotic feeling and righteous indignation.
The protestors for the most part are dressed in ordinary street wear, some wearing masks of the US flag, others carrying US or Trump flags. Inside the halls of Congress they chant, Protect your liberty, Protect the constitution and tell the guards they are there because Trump, the guards’ boss, wants them there. They thank the guards for letting them in. They chant “Whose house? Our house,” “It’s the people’s house, let the people in,” and similar stuff.
“Defend the constitution against enemies, foreign and domestic,” shouts another. They talk about it being a war.
They march through the halls, look around and ask where everyone is because there’s no one but police. The brave Congress critters are skulking under desks in safe spaces, instead of meeting their constituents.
When someone sits in the vice president’s chair, one of the leaders tells him he cannot and it is disrespectful. The fellow in the chair then asks, with splendid logic, why THEY can steal an election, but HE cannot sit in a chair. But he does get up.
The officers who let them in are thanked repeatedly and told that they are only doing their job and it’s appreciated. A leader calls out that this is hallowed ground, sacred, and deserves respect. Another protestor says, Now that we’re here, we might as well form a government.
One guy’s looking for anything in the papers left behind that can be used against these “scumbags,” a sentiment probably shared by around 100 million people, including this blogger.
Someone tells the rest to watch what they do, because it’s a PR war…there’s talk of an information operation.
The guy with the horns on his head, Qanon Shaman, bellows in the background high above the paper hunters at the desks. Someone says they’ve found papers showing that Cruz was going to object to Arizona’s objection…he was going to sell us out anyway..Then he seems to retract. Another person says, Cruz and Hawley would have wanted us to do this. Someone says, There are 4 million people coming, some have just not got there. Another refers to a million people.
Several men get up and invoke Jesus Christ’s name, asking for light and protection from heaven, thanking Him for giving them the opportunity to be heard in this place and for being able to take back the country from communists, globalists, and traitors.
Before leaving, one of the leaders wants a picture taken and asks permission from the guards to do it.
Then they leave through one entrance while Mogelson leaves through another, where he takes more footage, this showing a more boisterous side of things. People are scaling the walls, tearing off fabric high up, but are largely nonviolent, with lots of chanting: USA, USA, and I think, We want Trump.
The police start tasering and throwing smoke bombs and people shout, Is that all you’ve got? We’re coming for you…
Someone builds a gallows and starts shouting, We’re going to hunt each and everyone of you down. There are calls to fight at home, to protest in the state capitols and to organize. Better to die a free man, shouts one man, than on your knees. Someone uses a flagpole to smash what looks like suitcases or boxes and shouts about how the media wouldn’t be able to record that. Another man says CNN is hiding behind Union Station.
I found this piece at the NY Postreally interesting and possibly significant.
Alternative news pioneer, Alex Jones, of Info Wars fame, paid $500,000 of his own money to book either the Ellipse or another venue [it isn’t clear from the article] at the January 6 Capitol protest.
The idea was for Jones to lead the walk to the Capitol, but people were already on their way in the hundreds of thousands before he got there.
One of the things that participants noted was the disorganization of the event, from the poor quality of the audio that meant that Trump’s speech wasn’t easy to hear to the division of the crowd into two venues organized by different groups.
It looks from this piece as if Jones was one of the organizers.
Trump seems to have publicly praised Jones and invited him to organize. So one thing I’d like to follow up on is why Jones did not coordinate with the other organizers.
The second question I have is about the size of the crowd.
I got the impression when I watched the rally on videos on pro-Trump sites like The Gateway Pundit, The Donald, Conservative Treehouse, and Centipede Nation, that it was over half a million and maybe even a million, but public accounts of it are much more modest, usually saying something like 200 to 300,000. But that’s still vastly more than the official estimates before the event, which anticipated a maximum number of 80,000.
On India Today, an American Indian Republican official of some kind mentioned a figure in excess of a million, but I have not been able to find a printed transcript of the interview.
This is the first printed estimate I have seen which is close to my own observation.
Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller told the head of the National Security Agency to install a Trump loyalist as the top lawyer at the agency,The Washington Post reported.
Miller ordered that Michael Ellis be appointed as general counsel by 6 pm on Saturday, but NSA Director Gen. Paul Nakasone did not follow that order as of the deadline, according to CNN.
The Post reported Ellis was tapped for the job back in November by Pentagon General Counsel Paul C. Ney Jr., but he still hasn’t taken the position and has to finish administrative procedures.
The pieces of the Italygate puzzle are falling together in short order.
Maria Zack’s investigation tied the Italian part of the election hack to the German part.
She showed that when Trump voters broke the algorithm in play on election night November 3, the new algorithm was transferred on request from a US State Department official in Rome through a satellite leased by the Vatican from Leonardo company in Rome to Scytl’s backup servers in Frankfurt and thence to Dominion Voting Systems back in the USA.
However, it wasn’t clear how or why Leonardo might be tied to the Chinese end of the hack. Chinese IP addresses as well as Iranian and other IP’s were found on forensic analysis of computers used in the election.
Meanwhile, the massive criminal trial of the ‘Ndrangheta is revealing its profound interpenetration of business and bureaucracies in Italy and elsewhere and its reliance on drug and human trafficking and the laundering of proceeds from that. The Vatican bank has been implicated in money laundering and there are rumors of ties between the ‘Ndrangheta and the Vatican.
No doubt there is a Leonardo tie there as well.
Now comes the Benotti connection to the Covid scamdemic.
Disaster management has from the incept been one of the most lucrative ways in which taxpayer money is redistributed to private contractors. Among disasters, a world- wide plague has repeatedly been war- gamed by the globalists in their end run for totalitarian global government because it ties in perfectly with their propaganda that human beings must be controlled in order to stem the ecological damage which enables increasingly dangerous plagues.
The Covid panic is thus intimately tied to the Climate agenda that Pope Francis has powerfully endorsed. Covid forces public to private redistribution of wealth at lightning speed using a global medical emergency as the pretext.
That redistribution would be considerably ramped up if the false Catholic and corrupt Chinese tool Joe Biden became president.
That is why it is on a server leased by the Vatican at a defense contractor in Rome that the election theft in favor of Biden hinges:
The Guardia di Finanza, Italy’s financial crime unit, has opened an investigation into a bribe scheme involving a 1.2 billion Euro deal with China for the acquisition of face masks at the height of the Covid19 pandemic in that country last year. Italian authorities accuse plotters of pocketing 12 million euros in illicit commissions in exchange for contracts given to the Chinese for the masks.
The accusations were so serious in fact, that Italy’s Protezione Civile or Civil Protection Agency’s headquarters were raided last month. (Protezione Civile is loosely-akin to the U.S.’ Federal Emergency Management Agecy or FEMA.)
At the heart of the scandal is Mario Benotti, the head of OPTEL, a public-private research consortium in the field of advanced electronics in the medical, civil and military arenas. As head of the group, Benotti has had close ties with Leonardo SpA, Italy’s billioin-dollar defense contractor.
Benotti has denied any wrongdoing, however. He issued the following statement to the Italian Journalist Agency or AGI, (translated):
“I made myself available to the country at a very difficult time. It was March, Italy was in lockdown. Masks and respirators were missing. People died like flies. I did it as an entrepreneur and taking advantage of my personal friendships that have nothing to do with either the politicians in the government or with those of the opposition,” he said.
“Since I am president of a public private consortium that has relationships all over the world, I made myself available to help find the masks that Italy did not have…if there were better offers than ours, they could have chosen to contact them,” he added.
The timing of the opening of the face mask investigation is notable because it was the very next day that Leonardo SpA personnel were arrested on suspicions of hacking sensitive military data on Leonardo’s network.
One of those arrested was Arturo D’Elia, the whistleblower who says he is in possession of evidence of the election interference plot. News of the plot broke in Italian media four days before D’Elia was arrested for the suspected hacking.
The face-mask investigation is also notable in light of last week’s announcement that Guardia di Finanza is investigating another alleged commission-kickback scheme, this one directly involving Leonardo SpA as well as U.S. tech giant Google.
Google is accused of facilitating the illicit movement of funds to Italy that were paid as bribes, according to authorities.
Maria Zack, Chairwoman of NationsInAction.org, a government accountability organization, alleges SpyGate and ItalyGate have been funded with the help of $400 million secretly funneled to Italy in the waning days of the Obama administration.”
