Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Whistleblowers Report Retaliation, Intimidation Tactics, and Illegal Accessing of Bank Records Without Subpoenas by FBI to the Weaponization of Government CommitteeFBI whistleblower Garret O'Boyle said during the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government hearing Thursday that the organization has created an "Orwellian atmosphere." "Too many in the FBI aren't willing to sacrifice the hard right over the easy wrong," he said during his opening statement. "They see what becomes of whistleblowers-how the FBI destroys their careers, suspends them under false pretenses, takes away their security clearances and pay with no true options for real recourse or remedy." "This is by design," he continued. "It creates an Orwellian atmosphere that silences opposition and discussion." ... The whistleblowers allege that the FBI has inflated statistics on "domestic violent extremism."One FBI intelligence agent dared to question the veracity of Christopher Wray's congressional testimony. That's right -- someone thinks that Christopher Wray may be lying in his representations to Congress. I'll give you a moment to recover from the psychological shock of hearing that. Enjoy the soothing sounds of this forgotten 80s gem while you re-gather your wits. Back to the article: Allen is black, by the way. Making him the newest recruit to the cause of Black White Supremacy. Here are some of the pre-written opening statements of the three witnesses speaking today. He has been unemployed and without health insurance for his family for a year since Wray suspended him without pay. He says he had to beg friends and neighbors for winter clothes for his children while the FBI kept his possessions locked up. Democrats support this and are furthering Wray's smears of these men. They also report that the FBI sought citizens' bank records without a subpoena, and that Bank of America -- which really needs serious government sanctions against it -- was all too willing to rat out their customers. The Federal Bureau of Investigation obtained the financial records of Americans from Bank of America "without any legal process" following the January 6, 2021 riot, according to an interim staff report from the House Judiciary Committee and Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. The report containing allegations from FBI whistleblowers is the subject of a select committee hearing on Thursday. "Just like FBI whistleblowers [Garret] O'Boyle and [Stephen] Friend, retired FBI Supervisory Intelligence Analyst George Hill provided the Committee with detailed allegations of FBI civil liberties abuses," read the report, which was released ahead of Thursday's hearing. "Specifically, he testified that following the events at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, Bank of America (BoA) gave the FBI's Washington Field Office a list of individuals who had made transactions in the D.C., Maryland, Virginia area with a BoA credit or debit card between January 5 and January 7, 2021. He also testified that individuals who had previously purchased a firearm with a BoA product were elevated to the top of the list provided by BoA," it also read.

Literally the entire government needs to be burned to the ground and the Earth salted where it stood. There is no other way out of this. I once thought that we could surgically remove the malignant cancers in the government. No more. The government itself is the malignant cancer. It must be completely destroyed, eradicated, and nuked from orbit, without pity, remorse, or fear.

Liberals haven't just ruined these organizations (including the military) for the present, they've done so for the foreseeable future.
Obama basically cleared out anyone in government who wasn't a complete ball licking sycophant of his, and thanks to Trump's complete ignorance to the situation, we're going to be going on a decade and a half of these partisans running, staffing, and training all these agencies. Even if DeSantis or Trump can win in 2024, rehabilitating the few agencies that we unfortunately do need will be such an uphill battle as they don't know who to trust in the agency, any potential bosses that are viable candidates will probably be lacking in experience, you'll have these same criminals undermining/ sabotaging you the whole time, and they'll make sure to burn any evidence if their crimes so no one will ever be held accountable. As much as I hate Dems, they know how to achieve their goals (destroying/ restructuring America) while Republicans get in charge and focus mostly on stupid shit.

"If being true to oneself with love, joy and pride is a sin, then we, having been cancelled by the New York Post, and now the Dodgers, will do what we always do. We will go out and sin some more."

In re Physical Gold from last thread.
It doesn't matter if the physical gold is actually held by US. They say it is there (of course it isn't there). A re-valuation will hit the books. The price of that gold is currently set well below market value. That market value is under massive pressure to increase due to phys golds necessity in the USD work arounds being figured out by CHN and RUS and India and Iran and Saudi. Phys gold is a liquid reserve asset and tradeable commodity that resolves the issue of over-accumulation of non-desired currency (rupee etc) by states seeking non-USD foreign trade.

the FBI proposed to suspend Mr. Allen's Top Secret clearance on the basis of security concerns related to Adjudicative Guideline A -- 'Allegiance to the United States,'"
----- Sorry, but this is totally reasonable. If you're an employee of the federal government who is unwilling to lie to, lie about, frame, intimidate, steal from, or even murder American citizens in order to advance the aims of the Democrat Party, then you are factually a traitor to the United States.

This isn't defeatism, this isn't giving up, this isn't ceding the field to the left, this isn't wanting to be Rambo running thru the streets pining for violence. No amount of reason, rationale or logic and no amount of dragging people by the scruff of the neck holding their face up to the "screen" to watch what is really going on is going to convince people like you we're not totally screwed.

Absolutely. I used to not really see it. Man do I see it now. It's the public whitewash campaign because people aren't privy to the real world internals of FBI. We are being pitched/propagandized heroics via MFM with no full counter-narrative that truly represents an actual FBI. One-sided spectacle to boost trust/faith.

We have a "control of intel agencies problem", not really a "laws that directly permit the stuff they do" problem.
It's like when the Janissaries were running the Ottoman government. The power of the Janissaries wasn't something that was officially approved and it also can't be fixed just by legislation(which they can disregard).

Practically speaking abolishing the out of control organization has been the more successful route. In this case the organization which would normally discipline bad actors is the DoJ, which also doesn't really answer to us even with the Presidency.

Hindsight being what it is and all the criticism of Trump at this point what would have been better? Trump actually dismantling the Deep State or Roe v Wade being overturned. All Roe v Wade was was one battle we actually won in the war. Glad it happened, but at this point, what does it matter to the future survival of this country?

Posted by: Blonde Morticia at May 18, 2023 01:05 PM (AxmOr) Yes, political appointees are at the top of each organization. The problem is they're impermanent and their underlings know it. It's like a substitute teacher. The heads of each department also don't really have good authority to fire or discipline subordinates well. That's the issue of a permanent "professional" bureaucracy vs the spoils system, where each President would restaff nearly the whole government. The "professional" bureaucracy is supposed to be impartial because they owe the President no loyalty. Well then you have the problem that they owe the President no loyalty.
