Dear Patriots,

If you have not yet seen the movie, “The Lives Of Others”, now would be a good time to do so. If you have seen it, now is the time to review it. The movie lays out what happens when the Secret Police (FBI) steps in to destroy lives.

Every day we are getting more indications of the how the Deep State is working to demolish freedom and free speech in America.

The movie is available in various ways at Amazon.

1- The FBI is insidiously monitoring and tracking anyone who has questions about the government pushed agenda.

FBI Contractor Created Fake Online IDs to Join Chatrooms Run by Groups Organizing Against Vaccine Mandates

QUOTE: An FBI surveillance contractor infiltrated the chatrooms of two airline industry groups opposed to vaccine mandates to collect intelligence on the groups’ organizing activities, investigative journalist Lee Fang reported.

The contractor, Flashpoint, which in the past infiltrated Islamic terror groups, now focuses on “anti-vaccine” groups and other domestic political organizations, according to Fang.

In a webinar presentation for clients last year, which Fang analyzed on his Substack, Flashpoint analyst Vlad Cuiujuclu demonstrated his company’s methods for identifying and entering encrypted Telegram chat groups.

He explained how the company attempted to join chatrooms of transportation workers resisting the COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

Fang described the presentation: “‘In this case, we’re searching for a closed channel of U.S. Freedom Flyers,’ said Cuiujuclu. ‘It’s basically a group that opposed vaccination and masks.’

“Tradecraft and other strategies are often used to gain inside knowledge of conservative organizations with the intent to disrupt, mislead and otherwise thwart effective campaigns. “Infiltration is a tactic used by the deep state to prevent the truth from being told by attempting to destroy the advancement of the message. The team at US Freedom Flyers has been successful in recognizing these attacks and we have taken decisive actions to protect the organization and our members.”

Aviation industry workers were some of the most vocal and organized against COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

Fang also spoke to Jay Bhattacharya, M.D., Ph.D., professor of medicine at Stanford University, research associate at the National Bureau of Economics Research and one of the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration.

Bhattacharya said:”This kind of domestic spying violates the implicit protection Americans have in these kinds of settings.

2- Hiding and reframing results of their own polling is how the far left uses polling to propagandize and rebrand their horrible policies.

Dem-linked pollsters refuse to publish their own study showing Americans OPPOSE trans procedures on kids – and discuss how voters must be ‘educated’ and hatch plan to ‘rebrand’ puberty blockers in meeting about results

QUOTE: A liberal polling group is keeping quiet about the results of its survey that shows voters reject radical gender ideology, while privately hatching plans to ‘educate’ the public by ‘rebranding puberty blockers.’

DailyMail.com gained access to an invite-only webinar of San Francisco-based Change Research, in which they unveiled new poll results that show Americans reject giving hormones and other trans drugs to children.

In the online session, lead pollster Betsy App called the results ‘bad news,’ saying the team would struggle to ‘educate’ the public about sex-reassignment for kids. She said it was time for ‘rebranding puberty blockers’ with a less-divisive term.

‘I want to give us all a reality check,’ App told the online session.

‘We are facing an uphill battle when it comes to voters’ fundamental beliefs about the relationship between sex and gender.’

At the start of Friday’s 30-minute session, the group’s marketing chief Molly McInerney said they would ‘not be making these results widely available’ and urged attendees not to ‘share these findings.’

Nevertheless, DailyMail.com is releasing the results because they’re in the public interest.

They show that Americans say sex is assigned at birth, and that men and women cannot change their sex at will.

Voters also oppose giving children puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or sex-altering surgeries, such as breast removals.

The webinar indicated that Change Research wanted to conceal its results — with the stated goal of reshaping US attitudes on gender ideology and trans treatments on kids.

3- Americans poured out support for brave Marine, Daniel Penny, after he sprung into action to protect subway riders from a violent, mentally ill, serial-offender (40 arrests!).

Yet another example of how the far left has weaponized the judicial system, Soros supported DA Alvin Bragg has charged this act of self defense as manslaughter.

Daniel Penny page on GiveSendGo has raised over $1 million

QUOTE: A crowdfunding effort for the ex-Marine charged with second-degree manslaughter over the death of a homeless schizophrenic on a New York City subway has soared past $1 million.

The fund, set up by Daniel Penny’s attorneys, says it will be used to pay for 24-year-old Long Island native’s legal fees and for ‘any future civil lawsuits that may arise, as well as expenses related to his defense.’

The fundraising platform being used is named GiveSendGo which until now was better known for being used by those charged with participating in the January 6th Capitol riot and by supporters of Kyle Rittenhouse.

The page hit the $1 million mark in the hours after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis tweeted a link to the page. On Friday, Penny, 24, was freed pending trial hours after turning himself in at a police precinct and appearing in court to answer criminal charges. He did not enter a plea.

Many of those who have donated large sums to Penny’s cause are anonymous, including the person who has made the biggest pledge of $10,000.

The person did leave a comment that read: ‘Thank you for protecting the citizens that day.’ The second highest giver, who pledged $5,000, is also anonymous. That person wrote: ‘Do the right thing. Dan did. It’s not that tough.’

4- There is an unspoken agreement by all the old, fake, corporate news organizations to ignore stories proving Democrat corruption.

ABC, CBS, NBC Devote ZERO Seconds to Oversight Committee’s Bombshell Findings on Biden Family Corruption

QUOTE: The broadcast network morning and evening news shows devoted precisely zero seconds to the House Oversight and Accountability Committee’s stunning interim report detailing the Biden family’s corrupt influence-peddling operation, according to a Newsbusters analysis of the Big Three networks’ news coverage.

On Wednesday, the Republican-led panel released bank records showing that the Biden family and their business associates received more than $10 million from foreign entities.

During a press conference yesterday to discuss the report, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) noted that many of these wire transfers occurred while Joe Biden was Vice President “leading the United States’ efforts in those countries.”

The panels’ findings include a $1 million payment to the Biden family’s coffers from a ‘corrupt’ Romanian oligarch while then-vice president Joe Biden was lecturing the country on ethics.

These serious charges were entirely ignored by ABC, CBS, and NBC during their Wednesday evening and Thursday morning shows, Fox News reported.

In a fair and unbiased media environment, stories detailing the Biden family’s corruption, Hunter Biden’s laptop and his paternity case in Arkansas would be dominating the network news every night.

In just the past week, multiple stories about the Biden family’s corruption have broken elsewhere in the media.

5. As we watch our country circling the drain, many ask, “What can I do?”.  We can no longer sit back and expect the Fifth Estate/the free press, to do their job. We need to start asking the questions we pretend aren’t worth asking. The Swamp is counting on us to keep pretending everything is okay. Conservative Treehouse offers examples of how to approach your Elected Ones with questions to hopefully push them out of their very comfortable zones.

“What Can I Do?” – Stop Pretending, Start Confronting – Make the Debt Ceiling Being Raised Contingent on Border Being Closed…

QUOTE: There is a great deal of frustration, righteous frustration about the seriously destabilizing constructs happening around us, combined with almost no corrective action from people in power or influence that can do anything, something, about it.

This leads to the #1 question people ask, “What can I do about it?”  The answer is not complex, and consists of two obvious elements:

First, stop pretending.

Second, confront those who rely on our pretending.

OK, great, but what does that look like?  I’ll give you some examples.

♦EXAMPLE – Senator Rubio holds a townhall meeting.  Again, ask him the big picture questions:  Senator, you are the vice-chairman of the Senate Intel Committee; you are a member of the gang-of-eight.  We know from court documents that former Senate Security Director James Wolfe leaked a top secret FISA application, likely at the direction of your chairman Mark Warner.  Why have you never called this out?  Why do you protect him?  Why was James Wolfe never prosecuted for the FISA leak?

You watched FBI Director James Comey testify in March 2017 that he never informed the gang of eight about his previous 11-month investigation of the presidential candidate who was the political opposition of the sitting president; why didn’t you do anything about it?

Why didn’t you ever allow a single recess appointment by President Donald Trump?  Why did you go along with Mitch McConnell to block a Republican president?

Again, Marco Rubio sits next to Mark Warner, calls him his “friend across the aisle”, and yet that “friend” is part of the system to destroy our country. Stop letting him pretend, start confronting him.   The same applies to all other senators, in all other townhalls.

Start making their lives uncomfortable by asking the obvious questions.

We are in an abusive relationship with government.  If you want to stop government from abusing us, then act like they are abusing us!

Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Maria Bartiromo, Fox News, conservative pundits, Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, conservative websites and political talkers writ large, all of them are continuing this game of pretending.  Most of them are all connected to the same financial mechanisms.   None of these groups are going to ask any of the obvious questions or hold anyone to account.  They all maintain the game of pretending.

There are only a few people, maybe a handful, who are not.

Look at the obvious stuff, this is not complex politics.

Those who trade in the art of deception will always find an audience willing to be deceived.   Quit looking for someone else to do the job, start putting yourself in the position to challenge them with obvious questions.

Stay out of the weeds, there’s no reason to be in them, and just ask the obvious questions; there are dozens of them ….And for the love of all that is good and righteous in this world….

…Quit pretending!
