| The Surveillance and Political Spying Operations Highlighted by John Durham are the Tip of the Iceberg |
| 2022-02-14 |
| [The Last Refuge] Against the latest court filings by John Durham, highlighting the tip of the political surveillance iceberg, I have been asked to re-post the deep dive into the totality of the scale of the iceberg. I will add some of the latest information into the outline to show how it all connects. Barack Obama and Eric Holder did not create a weaponized DOJ and FBI; instead, what they did was take the preexisting system and retool it, so the weapons only targeted one side of the political continuum. Together they recalibrated the domestic surveillance capabilities, the internal spying systems, so that only their political opposition would be targeted. This point is where many people understandably get confused. In the era shortly after 9/11, the DC national security apparatus was constructed to preserve continuity of government and simultaneously view all Americans as potential threats. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) were created specifically for this purpose. What Barack Obama and Eric Holder did with that new construct was refine the internal targeting mechanisms so that only their ideological opposition became the target of the new national security system. This is a very important nuance to understand as you dig deeper into this research outline. Washington DC created the modern national security apparatus immediately and hurriedly after 9/11/01. DHS came along in 2002 and within the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 the ODNI was formed. When Barack Obama and Eric Holder arrived a few years later, those newly formed institutions were viewed as opportunities to create a very specific national security apparatus that would focus almost exclusively against their political opposition. The preexisting Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Dept of Justice (DOJ) were then repurposed to become two of the four pillars of the domestic national security apparatus. However, this new construct would have a targeting mechanism based on political ideology. The DHS, ODNI, DOJ and FBI became the four pillars of this new institution. Atop these pillars is where you will find the Fourth Branch of Government.

| #10 Local state rep primary between an outsider and an insider (both new to our district due to re-districting). Insiders run the party, so they canceled the forum between candidates because of 'too much covid' but then rescheduled at the last minute, so only their candidate could appear. (Reminds me of a lawsuit I had to file some years ago after an out-of-state car wreck - the other party's lawyer's office was next door to the courthouse, and he would get a last minute continuance if we showed up (from 1200 miles away), and would have won if we failed to appear.) Lawfare in action. |

| #9 Many family and friends have have voted Dem. Most are good well-intentioned people. The problem is that the Deepstate is made up of Dems, Rinos and some independents. Somewhere in time, things changed. As things changed, freedom got eroded. |

| #8 #4: they are not 'democrat' they are 'left'. I grew up in mass. in the 50's and all my family were democrats. None of them acted like this. They call themselves democrats for political coverage. they are seditionists not democrats. |

| #6 I'm splitting my chips between "Ongoing FBI investigation, years 5-8" and the sacrosanct Lawyer-Client privilege and 5th amendment recording...plus Julian Assange committing some form of Arkaniside shortly. |

| #5 It all sounds exciting, but I'm going out on a stout limb and predict that nothing will come of this. Too many important people (hah!) would be embarrassed and inconvenienced if any of this actually goes to trial. *pushes his chips on "Lack of Standing"* |

| #4 Wow! 66% of Dems think Hilda should be investigated. They probably mean investigations like the previous phony rigged investigations where Hilda and others were exonnerated. On the other hand, maybe there are some Dems left who are fed up with the corruption, rigging and wholesale sell out of our country to our enemies. |

| #2 Spying on Trump is one thing, and bad enough, but if they had people placed such that they had access inside the Trump computers they could even have planted 'evidence' of improper conduct. |
