Candace Owens, a Democrat and black victim of a hate crime, was on fire when she addressed a House Judiciary Committee hearing designed to expose the hate crimes and the rise of white nationalism in the Donald Trump era. What she said could derail the Democratic Party were it covered on Democratic media outlets. She certainly derailed this hearing. The power of her remarks was that every black person in the room knew she spoke “their” truth. It was a Rosa Parks moment!
She condemned the hearings as “not about white nationalism or hate crimes,” as projected by her party, “it’s about fear-mongering, power, and control. The goal here is to scare blacks, hispanics, gays and muslims, helping them censor dissenting opinions… helping them regain control.” But none of this is new, “the biggest scandal in American politics is that Democrats have been conning minorities into believing we are perpetual victims, all but ensuring our failure.”
“White supremacy, racism, white nationalism, words that once held real meaning,” she continued, “have now become nothing more than election strategies. Every four years the black community is offered hand outs and fear!! Handouts and fear!!! Reparations and white nationalism this is the Democrats preview.”She persisted, “There isn’t a single adult today that in good conscience can make the argument that America is a more racist or a more white nationalist society than it was when my grandfather was growing up. And yet we are hearing these terms sent around today because what they want to say is that brown people need to be scared, that seems to be the narrative that we hear every four years right ahead of a presidential election.”
Owens spoke of her grandfather seated behind her. “He grew up on a share-cropping farm in the segregated South. He grew up in America where words like racism and white nationalism held real meaning under the Democratic Party Jim-Crow laws.” My grandfather “also had experiences with the Democrat terrorist organization of that time, the Ku Klux Klan, that regularly visited his home and would shoot bullets into it. They had an issue with his father, my great grandfather.”
So what of Candace Owens charges that the Democratic Party fathered the Jim Crow laws of the South and founded the terrorist organization, the Ku Klux Klan, that so terrorized her father and grandfather? Any U.S. History text will confirm these facts. Perhaps Democrats will argue that even if they began as a racist political party and originated the KKK to frighten and control blacks, this organization had no place in the party the last 25 years. Not true!
Omitted in their efforts to decry “white nationalism,” Democratic Senator Robert Byrd, the acknowledged mentor of Hillary Clinton, was the most famous white nationalist in twentieth century history having been unanimously elected to the rank of Exalted Cyclops in the Klu Klux Klan. As president pro tempore of the U.S. Senate this acknowledged Democratic Party klansman was third in line for the presidency after Vice President Joe Biden and Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the Obama Administration. No nationally elected Democrat opposed his being there. He once told a fellow Klansman, Senator Thodore Bilbo “No man can leave the Klan. He takes an oath not to do that. Once a Ku Klux, always a Ku Klux” (Robert L. Fleegler, “Theodore G. Bilbo and the Decline of Public Racism, 1938–1947”,The Journal of Mississippi History, Spring 2006).
Ms. Owens continued, “Here are some things we never hear. Seventy-five percent of black boys in California don’t meet state reading standards.” Few in the inner cities were proficient in math or reading in 2016. “The single motherhood rate in the black community which was about 23% in the 1960’s when my grandfather was coming up, reached a staggering 74% today. I am guessing there will be no committee hearing about that. There are more black babies aborted than born alive in cities like New York and you have Democratic Governor Andrew Como lighting up buildings to celebrate late term abortions.”
“I could go on and on. My point is that white nationalism did not do any of those things… Democratic policies did. Let me be clear! It’s not about white nationalism or hate crimes it’s about fear mongering, power or control. It’s a preview of the 2020 election strategy, same as the 2016 election strategy.” If the House Committee “actually were concerned about white nationalism,” Owens thundered, “they would be holding hearings on Antifa, a far left violent white gang,” who had accosted her. “If they were serious about the rise of hate crimes they would perhaps examine themselves and the hate they [Democrats] have drummed up in this country.” She viewed Antifa, supported by the Democrats, as the modern KKK.
She concluded, “I believe the legacy and ancestry of black Americans is being insulted every single day. I will not pretend to be a victim in this country…. I want to talk about real issues in black America. I want to talk about real issues in this country and real concerns. Racial division and class warfare are central to the Democratic Party platform. Getting blacks to hate whites, the rich to hate the poor, and soon enough, it will be the tall hating the short.”
Count on the Democrats suppressing this Democratic voice.

Last December, when Tennessee Rep. Susan Lynn, R-Mount Juliet, said she would introduce legislation which would declare null and void any federal law the state deems unconstitutional, some people were horrified. Rep. Lynn was specifically targeting the health-care reform legislation that was pending at that time. But the reaction that many people had to her language was not an expression of their support for Obamacare.
Too many Americans hear the terms “states’ rights” or the word “nullification” and immediately think of racial prejudice, Jim Crow laws and school segregation. Honestly, if all I had to rely on was what I remember being taught in public school, I would probably tell you the history of it all went like this:
The theory of nullification was first invented in the 1800s’ by advocates of slavery. They used nullification of tarrifs as a test run in the 1820s. Of course, what they really had in mind was maintaining the institution of slavery against any possible attempt by the federal government to abolish it. Then America fought the Civil War in order to end slavery, but the ideas of states’ rights and nullification were later revived in the 1950s’ by belligerent white southerners in an attempt to block the racial integration of schools. The Civil Rights Movement started and the feds had to step in and force the southern states to treat everyone equally. THE END.
That’s a rough, abbreviated version of the narrative that was handed to me, but it gives you an idea of what many Americans think they know about states’ rights and nullification. Fortunately, thanks to people like Tom Woods, Thomas DiLorenzo, and many others, I know today that this was a gross misrepresentation of the classical liberal states’ rights tradition. Then again, (and it’s not my intention to be prideful here), I’m not like most Americans. And If you’re reading this, you probably aren’t either.
Civic Illiteracy
In 1798, Jefferson and Madison articulated the concepts of nullification and interposition in the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, which were passed in response to to the hated Alienand Sedition Acts. But the ideas which support nullification and interposition were actually expressed earlier during the ratifying convention of Virginia by the Federalists themselves!
Given the fact, however, that most Americans cannot even correctly name all three branches of our federal government, it’s probably a safe bet that they have never heard of the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions or the fact that nullification was used to assist runaway slaves.
So should it really come as any surprise that many people in Tennessee recoiled in horror at Rep. Susan Lynn’s comments about nullification? Rep. Mike Turner of Tennessee’s 51st District responded with a sarcastic and condescending comment that probably expressed the sentiment of many Tennessee’s left-liberal elites:
“Susan Lynn is yearning for times gone by,” Turner said. “Maybe we could put the poor people back to sharecropping and slavery and let the people up at the big house have all the nice things. We’ve already had that fight about states’ rights.”
Lynn responded to Turner’s comment by saying:
“I can’t even imagine that’s a serious comment.”
Rep. Turner’s comments resemble some of the incredibly ignorant and / or vicious comments directed against today’s advocates of nullification that frequently appear in the bologoshpere. One particular blogpost I stumbled upon really embodies the either extremely ignorant or wholly deceptive attempt to associate today’s proponents of states’ rights and nullification with segregationists, white supremacists and domestic terrorists:
“Why is it that the extremist teabaggers are not called traitors even though they are basically calling for an overthrow of the democratically elected U.S. government? There latest stunt should seal it. They are calling for a long rejected theory called Nullification, and at least one treasonous..blogger and teabagger is pushing it.”
In 1850, Congress compromised in order to hold the Union together against the divisive issue of slavery. Since the preservation of the Union (Northern control of the South’s economy), rather than the abolition of slavery was foremost in the minds of influential Republican bankers, manufacturers and heads of corporations, this compromise made perfect sense.
Part of this compromise was the passage of more stringent fugitive slave legislation that compelled citizens of all states to assist federal marshals and their deputies with the apprehension of suspected runaway slaves and brought all trials involving alleged fugitive slaves under federal jurisdiction. It included large fines for anyone who aided a slave in their escape, even by simply giving them food or shelter. The act also suspended habeas corpus and the right to a trial by jury for suspected slaves, and made their testimony non-admissible in court. The written testimony of the alleged slave’s master, on the other hand, which could be presented to the court by slave hunters, was given preferential treatment.
As would be expected, this new legislation outraged abolitionists, but also angered many citizens who were previously more apathetic. In 1851, 26 people in Syracuse, New York were arrested, charged and tried for freeing a runaway slave named William Henry (aka Jerry) who had been arrested under the Fugitive Slave Act. Among the 26 people tried was a U.S. Senator and the former Governor of New York! In an act of jury nullification, the trial resulted in only one conviction. “Jerry” was hidden in Syracuse for several days until he could safely escape into Canada.
The government of Wisconsin went even further and in 1854 officially declared the Fugitive Slave Act to be unconstitutional. The events that lead up to this monumental decision, which is a milestone in the history of the states’ rights tradition, is one of the best stories most Americans have never heard.
“Terribly conflicted about race, Americans struggled mightily with a revolutionary heritage that sanctified liberty but also brooked compromise with slavery. Nevertheless, as The Rescue of Joshua Glover demonstrates, they maintained the principle that the people themselves were the last defenders of constitutional liberty…”
Joshua Glover was a slave in Missouri who managed to escape from his master. In 1854, with the help of the Underground Railroad, he made his way north, all the way to Wisconsin. There he found work at a mill in Racine, a community in which anti-slavery sentiment ran high. Unfortunately for Glover, his former master, B.S. Garland eventually managed to find out where Glover had taken up residence.
Accompanied by two US Marshals, the three of them took Glover by surprise. In spite of his resistance, Glover was subdued with a club and handcuffed. Thrown into a wagon, he was surreptitiously transported to Milwaukee, where he was thrown in jail. Glover’s abduction was discovered somehow or another, however, and in no time one hundred or so men landed by boat in Milwaukee.
The men marched towards the courthouse, which was adjacent to the jail, and crowds of people began to join their ranks or follow along as spectators. An abolitionist named Sherman Booth, who published a local daily newspaper there called the “Free Soil Democrat” rallied the supporters of the citizen army shouting:
“All freemen who are opposed to being made slaves or slave-catchers turn out to a meeting in the courthouse square at 2 o’clock!”
When the meeting at the courthouse adjourned, those who had assembled eventually resolved that Joshua Glover was entitled to at least two things: A writ of habeas corpus and a trial by jury. A local judge concurred and delivered the writ to the US Marshals at the jail. As might be expected, the federal officers rejected the writ as invalid. After all, federal law trumps state judicial authority, does it not?
The assembly of citizens from Racine and Milwaukee must have decided that such was not the case in this instance. In fearless defiance, they broke down the doors of the jail and freed Joshua Glover. In an act that probably would have filled Sheriff Mack with joy, had he been there, the Racine County Sheriff arrested Glover’s former slave master and the two US Marshals who had kidnapped him. They were charged with assault and put jail. In the meantime, the Underground Railroad assisted Joshua Glover as he crossed the border into Canada.
Although Glover escaped to freedom, it was not without a price. Glover’s former master, B.S. Garland was released on a writ of habeas corpus and in the long run would sue Sherman Booth, turning him financially upside down.
In the short run, Booth and two other men were arrested and indicted by a grand jury. While Booth maintained that he had never incited the crowd to liberate Glover or that had helped Glover escape in any way, he did not mince words either. Speaking in his own defense in front of the US Commissioner, he proclaimed:
“..I sympathize with the rescuers of Glover and rejoice at his escape. I rejoice that, in the first attempt of the slave-hunters to convert our jail into a slave-pen and our citizens into slave-catchers, they have signally failed, and that it has been decided by the spontaneous uprising and sovereign voice of the people, that no human being can be dragged into bondage from Milwaukee.”
According to his account of these events, Henry E. Legler wrote in 1898:
“Byron Paine made an argument in behalf of Booth that attracted attention all over the country. It was printed in pamphlet form and circulated on the streets of Boston by the thousands. Charles Sumner and Wendell Phillips wrote the author letters of hearty approval and commended his force of logic and able presentation of argument. This pamphlet is now excessively rare; but half a dozen copies are now known to exist.”
Judge Smith of the Wisconsin Supreme Court made the following declaration, that ought to inspire and motivate champions of the Tenth Amendment and state sovereignty today. Speaking not only for Wisconsin, but of all the states, he said that they would never accept the idea that:
“..an officer of the United States, armed with process to arrest a fugitive from service, is clothed with entire immunity from state authority; to commit whatever crime or outrage against the laws of the state; that their own high prerogative writ of habeas corpus shall be annulled, their authority defied, their officers resisted, the process of their own courts contemned, their territory invaded by federal force, the houses of their citizens searched, the sanctuary or their homes invaded, their streets and public places made the scenes of tumultuous and armed violence, and state sovereignty succumb–paralyzed and aghast–before the process of an officer unknown to the constitution and irresponsible to its sanctions. At least, such shall not become the degradation of Wisconsin, without meeting as stern remonstrance and resistance as I may be able to interpose, so long as her people impose upon me the duty of guarding their rights and liberties, and maintaining the dignity and sovereignty of their state.”
The United States Supreme court eventually reversed the action of the Wisconsin’s courts. Booth and one other man accused of helping to liberate Joshua Glover were found guilty. Both spent months in jail in addition to having to pay stiff fines. This was the price that was paid for Joshua Glover’s freedom.
Rather than being deterred, however, Wisconsin, along with several other states, such as Connecticut (1854), Rhode Island (1854), Massachusetts (1855), Michigan (1855), Maine (1855 and 1857), and Kansas (1858) all went on to pass even more personal liberty legislation designed to neutralize federal enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.
It was no coincidence that the 1859 statement of the Wisconsin Supreme Court borrowed words directly from the Kentucky Resolutions of 1798:
“Resolved, That the government formed by the Constitution of the United States was not the exclusive or final judge of the extent of the powers delegated to itself; but that, as in all other cases of compact among parties having no common judge, each party has an equal right to judge for itself, as well of infractions as of the mode and measure of redress.
Resolved, that the principle and construction contended for by the party which now rules in the councils of the nation, that the general government is the exclusive judge of the extent of the powers delegated to it, stop nothing short of despotism, since the discretion of those who administer the government, and not the Constitution, would be the measure of their powers; that the several states which formed that instrument, being sovereign and independent, have the unquestionable right to judge of its infractions; and that a positive defiance of those sovereignties, of all unauthorized acts done or attempted to be done under color of that instrument, is the rightful remedy.”
The End, or Just the Beginning?
Few Americans have ever heard the heroic story of how the people of Wisconson and several other states stood up to the federal government’s tyrannical, unconstitutional slave laws with the help of their elected state officials.
Today state sovereignty and the Principles of 1798 are being invoked again, for a variety of reasons, just as they were invoked for a variety of reasons all throughout American history, in spite of what you may have been taught or are being told today.
States legislatures all over the Union today are standing up and re-asserting their sovereignty, which is guaranteed by the 10th Amendment. They are proposing and passing legislation which would nullify a whole host of unconstitutional federal laws including: The federally mandated national “REAL ID” card, restrictions on the use of Medical Marijuana, unconstitutional deployments of State National Guard units, federally mandated health insurance, unconstitutional regulations of state manufactured firearms and much more…
It is tragic that left-liberals have seemingly abandoned the classical liberal states’ rights tradition in favor of nationalism and the centralization of power. It is also shameful that they have made a concerted effort to associate nullification with slavery in the minds of average Americans. As Josh Eboch, State Chapter Coordinator for the Virginia Tenth Amendment Center observes:
“Of course, even though activists on the left supported nullification for Real ID and also for medical marijuana, those calling for state sovereignty with regard to health care will have to deal with the standard cries of racism and references to the Jim Crow…But just because nullification was used [unsuccessfully] in the past to deny rights to certain groups doesn’t mean it can’t be used to regain our rights today. In the end, ‘for desperate people whose freedoms are being systematically usurped by all three federal branches and both political parties, nullification may be the key to restoring our republic’.”
It has been almost 38 months since the January 6, 2021, election cheating protest to certify the Electoral College portion of the 2020 presidential election which was never finalized due to the interrupting events of that infamous day. The unfinished Electoral College count challenges were not resumed when Congress reassembled that evening and installed Joe Biden. Donald J. Trump was president and remained so an additional 14 days. Why would he engineer an insurrection against himself? Biden’s votes weren’t certified yet. It makes no sense.
The puff of white smoke is a flash grenade exploding in a standing-room-only-crowd. Suppressed J6 video show Capitol Police firing flash grenades over and then into crowds of peaceful protesters holding US and MAGA flags. They also fired rubber bullets into crowds. The video shows that the protesters are NOT on the Capitol steps and were behind barriers. There were children, veterans and seniors in the crowd (“Horror: Capitol Police Fired Exploding Flash Grenade into Crowd of Men, Women and Children on January 6,” June 2, 2021, Gateway Pundit). Deep State media outlets did not show their viewers these videos. I watched the videos and it could be argued that the grenades were aimed mostly at those carrying American flags.
The Deep State controlled all the major networks mouthing an approved identical narrative—“It was a MAGA insurrection led by Trump himself.” Contesting messages were censored by them for at least two years. Since then “Federal prosecutors have charged more than 1,200 people connected with J6,” and sentenced about 750. Not one convicted had a prior criminal record (“America’s Political Prisoners:One J6er’s Story,” New American, Feb. 12, 2024, p. 14).
The Democrat Select Committee had all the evidence. So why did they delete it? Why has it been a nightmare for the people to get the evidence? Because all the new evidence countered the controlled Deep State narrative. That is why the Committee deleted much of their subpoenaed interviews and etc. before disbandment in January 2023. If their evidence supported their narrative, that Trump committed treason, it would be the approved 4:00 a.m. message sent to all their media outlets every day. It didn’t!!
Forty thousand hours of video tape of the event was intentionally suppressed by the Democrat Party, RINO’s and the Deep State media. This is what we now know: At least 200 FBI assets were “in the crowd outside and working inside as well” setting up a fedsurrection “on January 4, 5, and 6.” They had planned the event at least “10 months before it happened.” And on the 6th they “bussed in hordes of agents dressed as Trump supporters,” so MAGA could be blamed (“Insurrection or FedGov Operation?,” ByPaul Dragu, New American, Feb. 12, 2024, p. 19).
Video tape clearly show federal agents leading the “insurrection,” as for example Ray Epps, and also using excessive force. “They are in the crowd encouraging protesters to climb the Capitol stairs. They created these problems, fired on the crowd and took down the barriers, beating on people” (X22 Reports hereafter not cited, Ep. 3227b, Dec. 4, 2023, 37:07). Epps told the crowd, “We need to go into the Capitol!” “Into the Capitol!!” Six different times he was filmed saying this. He was a confidential human source. He was set free in Biden’s two-tiered justice system. True the Vote’s new video, “A True Timeline,” traces his movements on Jan. 6 (Ep. 3249b, Jan. 3, 2024, 52:45). “People who weren’t even in DC on January 6, like Enrique Tarrio, are spending multiple decades in jail,” but the guy who actually told people to go inside the Capitol is free.
Even now, with the 40,000 hours of video tape finally pried from the January 6 House Democrat Select Committee, showing MAGA followers as victims in the fedsurrection instead of instigators, the Committee that “deleted more than 100 encrypted files days before GOP took majority,” are still resisting. Former Committee Chair Thompson refuses providing pass words for the encrypted/deleted files to Barry Loudermilk, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight. How can they not be part of the coup d’état to overthrow the government and now obstruction of justice as well (Ep. 3264b, Jan. 22, 2024, 26:02)?
So we finally got the tapes but there exists recording gaps in them “that have not been released; these between 12:40 AM and 1:00 AM and between 1:20 AM and 2:20 AM.” Why? Is it because “they were setting everything up for January 6” to entrap MAGA? We do see “at 5:18 AM, on January 6, an all white bus matching the ghost bus picture, that representative Clay Higgins questioned FBI Director Wray about, passed near the Capitol and was followed by camera 0903.” Likely one of several filled with FBI assets “preparing for the insurrection.” Could this be why they were hiding the tapes (Ep. 3237b, Dec. 17, 2024, 24:06)?
Pretty Victoria White before and after being bludgeoned by DC police with 31 blows probably to help radicalize the crowd to violence for the news clips they needed to blame, then destroy, the MAGA movement. The video does not show her doing any more than standing with the crowd. She was later arrested in a FBI raid on her home, and sentenced to jail time for “interfering with law enforcement officers during a civil disorder.” View video at (IT’S HAPPENING! J6 Defendant Victoria White BRUTALIZED AND BEATEN By DC Police Officers Files LAWSUIT Against Police and SUES Republican Speaker Mike Johnson to Investigate January 6! “The Officer Called Me a BITCH Then Hit Me,” By Cara Castronuova, Gateway Pundit, Jan. 2, 2024).
The tapes have allowed known acts of violence to be visualized. We see a peaceful crowd outside the the west side of the Capitol before Capitol Police fired a flash grenade into it on Jan. 6. Federal instigators needed an agitated, angry, even violent crowd. Firing upon them with flash grenades and rubber bullets gave them that crowd—this is what set people off. Now they could really blame MAGA— except for the video taping of federal agents doing so (“HORROR! EXCLUSIVE VIDEO…,” By Jim Hoft, Gateway Pundit, May 31. 2021).
But nothing gets a crowd agitated more than a brutal public beating of a woman. In this case, Victoria Charity White, with no provocation, received at least 31 police stick and fists thrusts to her upper body. Sometime later she was “arrested in a FBI raid on her home, and sentenced to jail time for ‘interfering with law enforcement officers during a civil disorder.’” Her beating was caught on tape and can be seen on video here.” We see and hear a male protester near by pleading with officer Jason Bagshaw,“Please don’t beat her! Please don’t beat her!” He continued to bludgeon her. Trapped between police she could not escape (IT’S HAPPENING! J6 Defendant Victoria White BRUTALIZED AND BEATEN By DC Police Officers Files LAWSUIT Against Police…”, By Cara Castronuova, Gateway Pundit, Jan. 2, 2024).
Everyone knew there was more evidence to the November 3 coup d’état election and in its Jan. 6 coverup, than reported. Neither Deep State spin felt right. In both, evidence was suppressed, concealed, deleted, and destroyed by the FBI, DOJ, House Select Committee, Congress and Deep State media. The suppressed 40,000 hours of taped video will in time reveal all. So far it is clear that MAGA patriots were victims in a Fedsurrection not of their own making.

The FBI “Orchestrated it. A review of the Election Fraud Protest of January 6, 2021, in which hundreds were arrested and 34 are still held without trial two years later in what inmates call the DC Gulag, must start with Ray Epps an FBI agent. He texted his nephew, “I WAS IN THE FRONT WITH A FEW OTHERS. I ALSO ORCHESTRATED IT.” In fact, video of him encouraging a crowd to riot exists (X22 Reports hereafter not cited, Ep. 2962b, Jan 3, 2023, 39:17). LibertyUnderFire.com covered his orchestrating it with five other key placed accomplices—none ever arrested, (“Capitol Siege, A Deep State Fed-surrection,” Dec. 30, 2021). When Senator Ted Cruz asked a Justice Department spokeswoman if Epps was a confidential human source working for the FBI she said, “I can’t answer that question” (Ep. 2963b, Jan. 4, 2023, 27:50).
Charles Smith was recently sentenced to 41 months for touching a huge sign that Ray Epps hurled at the Capitol police. Yet Epps who touched and threw the same sign wasn’t arrested or charged (Ep. 2966b, Jan, 6, 2023, 22:12). Why?
New January 6 footage shows someone, with an earpiece suggesting coordination, pulling in protesters at the door. Other protesters complained about being pushed into the Capitol. Were they being set up?. (Ep. 2957b, Dec. 26, 2022, 50:15).
The FBI worked a system where it was the “belly button” of Twitter, with at least 80 agents encouraging flooding Twitter with requests to censor anyone on the right.
Big Tech Censored half of it. With the release of the Twitter Files by Elon Musk, we learned that the FBI was working with Twitter in censoring and managing the 2020 Presidential Election for Joe Biden (Ep. 2957b, Dec. 26, 2022, 25:39). They planted agents in Twitter, paid Twitter, created propaganda narratives and orchestrated January 6th ( Ep. 2955b, Dec. 23, 2022, 1:30). The FBI worked a system where they were the “belly button” of Twitter, which then became flooded with requests to censor others (Ep. 2965b, Jan. 5, 2023, 13:00). Congressman Jim Jordan wrote, “at least 80 FBI agents collaborated with Twitter to help monitor the social media site” (Ep. 2958b, Dec. 27, 2022, 19:00).
“We have the FBI, the CIA, the DOJ and now the White House directly pressuring Twitter execs to sensor Americans’ Speech!” Alex “Berenson sued (and then settled with) Twitter. In the legal process Twitter was compelled to release certain internal communications which showed direct White House pressure on the company to take action on Berenson,” wrote David Zweig (Ep. 2958b, Dec. 27, 2022, 36:29). Congressman Adam Schiff asked Twitter to ban journalist Paul Sperry. It did! (TWITTER FILES, PART 27 also Ep. 2964b, January 4, 2023, 14:30).
But the Deep State censorship empire was not limited to Twitter. Gateway Pundit asks, “Is Obama the architect of the illegal government and Big Tech censoring machine?” And answers, yes. “Evidence shows that it’s not just Twitter and the FBI, the State Department, CISA, Facebook. YouTube and Google are also working to censor and ban the information you receive” (By Joe Hoft, Dec. 23, 2022).
Twitter is but the tip of the iceberg on censoring the right. Evidence shows that the FBI, the State Department, CISA, Facebook. YouTube and Google are also working to censor and ban the information you receive.
“Google currently employs at least 165 people, in high-ranking positions from the intelligence community. Google’s Trust and Safety team is managed by 3 ex-CIA agents, who control ‘misinfo and hate speech.’ Here’s the breakdown. CIA-27, FBI-52. NSA-30, DHS-50, and ODNI-6…Since the 2016 Presidential election, Google/Facebook/Twitter have hired at least 300+ people formerly employed by CIA, FBI, etc. ExCIA agents are heads of Trust and Safety at Google and Facebook. Is it OK that ex-CIA control what ‘misinfo’ is” (Twitter, @nameredacted247, Dec. 26, 2022)? Essentially the Intelligence Community ran Twitter, Facebook, Google and etc.—the country.
January 6 Committee Sealed it. DC-Draino said it best. “Governments do not seal information unless they are guilty of something very serious. Pfizer wanted the jab data sealed for 70+ years. CIA sealed the JFK records for decades. J6 Committee wants their interview records sealed for decades. Ghislaine Maxwell’s client list is sealed” (Ep. 2957b, Dec. 26, 2022, 45:53).
So what have they hidden? Virtually everything!! Why did these people come from all over America to go into the House chambers—not for insurrection—they brought no weapons? Why did Pelosi refuse Trump’s offer of the national guard if she expected a threat to her personal safety? Where was she during the event? Where is her laptop? Why does she refuse to share her texts before, during, and after the event? Who ordered the FBI to orchestrate the event days or weeks in advance? Why them? Why was Ray Epps and at least four associates working with him not arrested, charged and incarcerated? Why was 1400 hours of video tape of the event not released? Who is the pipe bomber, and why and who bused Antifa members in? Who took down the fences and removed the no trespassing signs along the route? Who unlocked the magnetic doors allowing everyone in? Who shoved and/or pulled the people in?
How come these and other questions remain unanswered? Because this Committee was only interested in portraying this event as an insurrection, hiding the real one the November 3, 2020 election, and in charging President Trump with treason thus forbidding him from ever running for elected office again. The Committee was part of the propaganda show. They failed.
Simply put the Jan. 6, Committee, “never found anything but are still hiding something.” Why else would they seal everything? The Committee “locked up important videos and docs for 30-50 years after they shut down their fake investigation” (Ep. 2964b, January 4, 2023, 38:22).

When I was a young man the mention of the FBI was always a positive phrase and for most of my life the organization was known for honor, integrity and justice. My most influential professor in college, Dr. W. Cleon Skousen, was himself a former agent and my little sister still works today for the Bureau, so what I share today is hard. The organization today, at least at the top, is corrupt. It operates much as a crime syndicate supporting the Deep State as evidenced by their role in Presidential elections of 2016 and 2020 and in subsequent events January 6, 2021 through Mar-A-Lago. This is most obvious in the following four areas: Hunter Biden’s laptop, Seth Rich’s murder and laptop, China’s intervention in US elections, and the Biden $40 million real estate venture with Moscow’s Russian oligarch widow Yelena Baturina.
Hunter Biden’s laptop has been in the hands of the FBI since late 2019—three years. They called its contents Russian disinformation when they absolutely knew differently—they had the laptop. They purposely, with the Deep State media as accomplishes, withheld its contents from the 2020 presidential election because it would harm Joe Biden’s chances of being elected. Election interference is a crime. Tony Bobulinski a former business associate of Hunter, testified of this then. It was censored. Bobulinski wants action (“Hunter Biden defrauded me, Jim Biden called me during FBI interview, former biz partner says,” by Miranda Devine, New York Post, Oct. 4, 2022).
The documentation is still being withheld by the FBI consequently the Bureau is presently being sued for non compliance to the Freedom of Information Acts (FOIA) request that they make public all their correspondence with Facebook between Oct. 1, 2020 and Oct. 15, 2020. The FBI refused. Withholding evidence is one crime, distorting its contents hiding criminality is another. The laptop proved to be Hunters, now the indictments are coming, one leading to another then another (X 22 Reports [hereafter not cited] Ep. 2894b, Oct. 10, 2022, 4:48).
WikiLeaks Confirms it ! Seth Rich (left) was the DNC Leaker to Julian Assange (right) !! The evidence is probably on the Rich laptop, the likely reason the FBI doesn’t want it out for 66 years and that Rich was killed.
The information from the Seth Rich laptop also has been withheld by the FBI for years. Most likely Seth Rich was killed by a paid MS-13 gang member because he is the one who downloaded the information from the DNC server and gave it to Julian Assange. It was’t Russia nor a hack as the Deep State media suggested. Reportedly he used a USB key and Julian Assange has all this information. Laptop information about Seth Rich and Crowdstrike was supposed to be released through an FOIA request but wasn’t (Ep. 2898b, Oct. 13, 2022, 20:00).
The FBI no longer denies having anything on Rich, as once it did, or that they won’t give it eventually, but that the data is equivalent to 400,000 pages and they need more time to be compliant. They suggest releasing 500 pages of it a month which would take 66 years to release it all. If evidence of criminality were on it, the criminals would be long dead of natural causes. Obviously they are stalling. (“FBI Asks Court for 66 years to Release Information from Seth Rich’s Computer,” by Zachary Stieber, The Epic Times, Oct. 28, 2022). They could make copies and give them to those requesting it as Rich allegedly did for Assange. Seth Rich put it on a USB stick. Something on this laptop is so concerning that Rich, a Democrat, would risk his life to have known by Assange, or that others would kill him to keep unknown, and that now, 6 years after Rich’s death, the FBI would refuse to surrender in full for another 66 years.
The FBI purposely refused to investigate any 2020 Presidential election anomalies and as new anomalies surfaced thereafter they did not investigate these either. Evidence on Dominion voting machines proving election interference from China, in particular, was especially blocked. When Konnech’s election management programs were recently spotted as specific election intervention tools in the 2020 Presidential election and the pending 2022 election, by True The Vote, producers of “2000 Mules,” they too were blocked. Gregg Phillips and Catherine Engelbrecht of True The Vote took their findings to their local FBI finding them very receptive but as the evidence went further up the FBI chain of command the FBI threatened to investigate, instead, the True The Vote researchers as having stolen their information from the Chinese Communist Party.
Konnech’s connection to the CCP and Chinese telecom giants for election interference in the 2020 Presidential Election.
On October 18, 2022, investigative journalist Kanekoa The Great, reported in Kanekoa News. “Konnech’s Shocking ‘Back Door’ Access into U.S. Election Data: Network Diagram, Los Angelas County prosecutors Allege ‘Chinese contractors’ had ‘super administration’ access to ‘astounding’ amounts of data in what is ‘probably’ the largest data breach in United States history” (EP 2902b, Oct. 18, 2022, 35:29). Remember Konnech’s CEO Eugene Yu was arrested in Los Angeles for having transferred election data to China. Was/is the FBI interested. No!
Hunter Biden’s real estate company, holding properties in seven cities in the United States, received a $40 MILLION investment from Russia. Daily mail.com published, “Exclusive Leaked emails reveal Hunter Biden’s real estate company received a $40 MILLION investment from Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina, the billionaire widow of a corrupt Moscow mayor, who also paid president’s son $3.6 million consulting fee,” (Article by Josh Boswell, October 17, 2022). Apparently the “relationship has already been flagged as alarming by a Senate report after Baturina mysteriously wired $3.5 million to a company linked to Hunter” Although this information is at least two years old, minus the new confirming emails, none of this has been investigated by the FBI, nor is likely to be.
Again, these and other allegations are ignored by the Bureau and thus the FBI, the lead law enforcement agency in America, is caught withholding evidence of probable extensive criminal behavior. Sadly, one mentioning the FBI today brings fear and distrust not honor, integrity and justice as once it did.
