The January 6 insurrection story turned upside down with the demise of the January 6 Select Committee present to censor and smother the facts coming out the last 14 months, especially the 40,000 hours of video tapes of that day at the Capitol. There still remains Nancy Pelosi’s emails of the day and those of the Capitol police to come out—both still suppressed.
Pictured is V. P. Mike Pence as president of the Senate and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the reconvened Electoral College joint session on the evening of January 6. The Deep State media clearly blamed the insurrection on Trump and MAGA. Congress was in no mood to even begin the required vote challenging part of the election process, they simply called it for Joe Biden. Almost all evidence surfacing the last 14 months has shown a Biden 2020 election win highly unlikely without extreme cheating and the release of the previously suppressed 40,000 hours of video J6 tapes to have been a Fedsurrection with over 200 FBI assets employed to trap Trump and the MAGA following. The election, stolen in the people’s vote on November 3, was indeed stolen again in the incomplete Electoral College process as well. Many even view the two events together as a Coup d’état to overthrow the dully elected president of the United States.
What we know now is that Mike Pence saved President “Trump from the Deep States’s planned COUP to use the 25th [Amendment] & make him ineligible to run for POTUS again.” With over 200 FBI assets employed Pelosi wanted the event to be so bad that Congress could not reconvene. That almost happened with the Capitol police shooting and killing unarmed veteran Ashly Babbitt, the beating of Victoria White, (now suing Capitol police), and Rosanna Boyland (three witnesses say beaten, police say crushed, to death), both outside the Capitol building. Blood and death optics “would’ve made it an official INSURRECTION.” The plan was to “stop the certification, take over the Government, and then have the entire thing land directly on their intended target, President Donald Trump.”
But the plan was foiled because “Pence refused to leave the Capitol that day. Bc [because] without him there, SHE would’ve been next in CoC [chain of command] – which means Pelosi would’ve had the Authority to immediately call to remove Trump using the 25th [Amendment]” Remember Donald Trump was still the President of the United States for another 14 days. He would not have led an insurrection to overthrow himself. Pence’s presence kept her from implementing the 25th Amendment on Trump independently that day and also forced her to join him in reconvening Congress that evening—likely the last thing she wanted as that undermined the seriousness of her claim that Trump committed treason by orchestrating the violent overthrow of the government (Karma Patriot X22 Reports Ep. 3263b, Jan. 21, 2024, 48:18).
Pence wrote a letter to Nancy Pelosi six days later, January 12, 2021 expressing his concern over her pressure on him to lead the Trump cabinet activating the 25th Amendment to remove Trump which he still refused to do. “But now, with just eight days left in the President’s term, you and the Democratic caucus are demanding that the cabinet and I invoke the 25th amendment. I do not believe that such a course of action is in the best interest of our nation or consistent with our Constitution…. And I will not now yield to efforts in the House of Representatives to play political games at a time so serious in the life of our Nation.” (Ibid.). He had to have known he foiled her plans.
It is very important to remember that they never returned to the voter challenge part of the Electoral College presidential election. Six states (five Republican legislatures and one Democrat) had submitted two Electoral College ballots one from the legislatures as constitutionally required and a second from the state secretary of state signed by the governor of the same state, each seeking to be the official vote of the state. This type of cheating, sending two ballots, was entirely unconstitutional. Pence had total constitutional authority to refuse the governors or attorney generals of the states ballots and accept only that from the legislatures as constitutionally required which would have elected Trump. Pence never had a chance. At this precise moment the insurrection broke into the Capitol and the meeting abruptly ended. When it reconvened Pelosi simply installed Biden. The election, stolen in the people’s vote on November 3, was indeed stolen again in the incomplete Electoral College process as well.
Rosanne Boyland, 31, “was holding my hand when she died. We both were getting crushed to death as Capitol police pushed and beat more people on top of us instead of letting us get up.” Philip Anderson.
Had Pence accepted only the vote of the legislatures of the battleground states it would have given Trump a second term but the country likely a bloody civil war and done nothing to destroy the Deep State which was the Patriots intent. At that time America was no where ready to accept that the Deep State had infiltrated the Democrat Party who had completed a Coup d’état to overthrow the dully elected president of the United States. Now most are starting to see.
Democrats argued that Pence, as president of the Senate, was nothing but a “bean” counter and had no authority to require the states to follow the Constitution in insisting that only the state legislatures could submit a ballot in the Electoral College—not their secretaries of state and governors. Pence saved Trump’s run again in 2024 but he also helped Trump in keeping the next president of the Senate, Kamala Harris, from nullifying Trump’s 2024 victory. Democrats would have had Harris send opposing state ballots back to the states to nullify Trump’s new reelection. Since 2020 Democrats have passed the Electoral Count Act to prohibit what Pence could have done from happening not realizing that this also handcuffs their doing the same thing in 2025.
Pence knowingly gave up his political future for his country becoming the villain of the MAGA movement in the war against the Deep State. His run against Trump in 2024 was mostly playing a part to help save the Republic. That much more is coming about his role in defeating the Deep State is hinted to by Christopher Miller, Acting U.S. Secretary of Defense during the last months of the Trump administration who thanked Pence for helping him in the military operation. What military operation? He said, speaking to Pence, “I just wanna personally thank you. We’ve been through some stuff. We’ve gone through some of the MOST COMPLEX MILITARY OPERATIONS THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER CONDUCTED [emphasis added]. Your steady hand and your leadership during those was a great source of strength to me! Thank you for your leadership! Thank you for your character! Thank you for your selfless service! Thank you for your commitment! Thank you for your being a mentor to me, Mr. Vice President!” (X22 Reports, Ep. 3133b, Aug. 7, 2023, 1:05:51).
In future American history textbooks we will come to know former Vice President Pence as one of the greatest patriots in the present war against the Deep State—he sacrificed his reputation.

In the office of Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III is a Ukrainian flag. Biden has on his lapel an Ukrainian flag. When did Ukraine Become more Important than American Soil?
There has never been a piece of real estate in American history quite like Ukraine, whose border is far more protected from invasion by our money and military equipment than is our own southern border. Where Russian history, religion, language and culture have intertwined for more than a thousand years and with whom Ukraine has a shared border. Where the United States has no real claim or purpose. A place clearly controlled until 1991 by the U.S.S.R. led by Russia. But we have spent more money there than any other nation and risked nuclear war—even World War III with Russia, for the last ten years. Why? Because it is a Deep State country.
In 2014 the Deep State CIA assumed control of Ukraine in a coup of state similar to our own in 2020. LibertyUnderFire has published much on Ukraine. Here are three favorites (“It’s a Matter of Trust, Biden or Putin on Ukraine?,” Mar. 4, 2022, “The War Behind the War in Ukraine,”Apr. 4, 2022 and “Why Risk War with Russia to Protect Ukraine’s Border?” Feb. 17, 2023.
So why publish again? Because the New York Times, the lead Deep State newspaper in the world, just released the best kept secret of our day. An amazing confession that was censored just days ago but for some reason this time it wasn’t (“The Spy War: How the C.I.A. Secretly Helps Ukraine Fight Putin,” The New York Times, Feb.25, 2024). It’s nice to be vindicated.
It leads, “For more than a decade, the United States has nurtured a secret intelligence partnership with Ukraine that is now critical for both countries in countering Russia.” What? A secret war with Russia by our CIA that could have at any moment escalated nuclear into mass annihilation for both countries is insanity and Barrack Obama and Joe Biden were key figures in the Ukrainian coup and since were complacent in the CIA’s activities. Only Congress can declare war and the executive branch has no authority to assist in a coup, or place a country in a position that feels it must defend itself from us.
What follows are some of the things the New York Times now openly reveals. The story opens where we are today with the disclosure of “a secret nerve center of Ukraine’s military” a base “almost fully financed, and partly equipped, by the CIA… The CIA and other U.S. intelligence agencies provide intelligence for targeted missile strikes, track Russian troop movements and help support spy networks.” All war time activities that have threatened Russia for a decade. Then it back tracts to the Coup of 2014 “when a fragile pro-Western government” aided by the Obama Administration’s CIA, “quickly took power.” Ukraine became a CIA Deep State country.
“With violence escalating, an unmarked U.S. government plane touched down at an airport in Kyiv carrying John Brennan, then the director of the CIA.” Before Brennan “would unlock CIA assistance, the Ukrainians had to prove that they could provide intelligence of value to the Americans. When he returned and reported to the Obama Administration they were rightly concerned about “lethal consequences” emanating from “provoking Moscow.”
A conscience was short lived. “In 2016, the CIA began training an elite Ukrainian commando force — known as Unit 2245 — which captured Russian drones and communications gear so that CIA technicians could reverse-engineer them and crack Moscow’s encryption systems… The CIA also helped train a new generation of Ukrainian spies who operated inside Russia… The CIA also provided money and equipment for Ukrainian crews to rebuild “underground. To avoid detection, they only worked at night and when Russian spy satellites were not overhead. Workers parked their cars a distance away from the construction site.” In the bunker, “were communications equipment and large computer servers, some of which were financed by the CIA…. Teams were using the base to hack into the Russian military’s secure communications networks.” These, if done by Russia to the United States, would be acts of war.
The CIA Operation Goldfish program “soon deployed to 12 newly built, forward operating bases constructed along the Russian border. From each base … the Ukrainian officers ran networks of agents who gathered intelligence inside Russia. CIA officers installed equipment at the bases to help gather intelligence and also identified some of the most skilled Ukrainian graduates of the Operation Goldfish program, working with them to approach potential Russian sources.” The CIA and the HUR have built two other secret bases to intercept Russian communications, and combined with the 12 forward operating bases, which Kondratiuk says are still operational, the HUR now collects and produces more intelligence than at any time in the war — much of which it shares with the CIA.
“The relationship is so ingrained that CIA officers remained at a remote location in western Ukraine when the Biden administration evacuated U.S. personnel in the weeks before Russia invaded in February 2022. During the invasion, the officers relayed critical intelligence, including where Russia was planning strikes and which weapons systems they would use.” How effective was US help through its CIA for Ukraine? ‘Without them, there would have been no way for us to resist the Russians, or to beat them,’ said Ivan Bakanov, who was then head of Ukraine’s domestic intelligence agency, the SBU.” All this “a closely guarded secret until now.”
The CIA turned “Ukraine into an intelligence-gathering hub that intercepted more Russian communications than the CIA station in Kyiv…” The Times reported, Putin learned of this threat to Russia “when he met with the head of one of Russia’s main spy services, who told him that the CIA, together with Britain’s MI6, were controlling Ukraine and turning it into a beachhead for operations against Moscow.” Now Ukraine was tracking Russian activity around the world.
Washington was clearly calling all the shots in Ukraine. On one occasion things went wrong resulting in the death of several Ukrainians. “In Washington, the Obama White House was livid. Joe Biden, then the vice president, called Ukraine’s president to angrily complain. ‘It causes a gigantic problem,’ Biden said in the call, a recording of which was leaked and published online. ‘All I’m telling you as a friend is that my making arguments here is a hell of a lot harder now.’” Presumably because, justifying CIA’s actions that led to death of Ukrainians, was difficult.
The New York Times documented that the CIA clearly provoked war with Russia for at least a decade.

Somewhere along the line the Deep State’s propagandized, carefully cultivated, hatred for Donald J. Trump moved from just him to the people. Yes, Trump still was sometimes insulting as were Harry Truman and Lyndon Baines Johnson, but people came to value his love for his country and the Constitution which became noticeably void in other high profile political leaders of both parties. And, once president, he kept his promises! He was for America first as were the people. They came to love him for this.
Congressman Clay Higgins, Oversight Committee member, shares a photo of the busses he believes brought in “hordes of agents dressed as MAGA supporters on J6 weekend” to wreck havoc on the Capitol setting up MAGA to blame. There were video recording gaps that morning presumed to be when they were setting up for the insurrectionists. 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, passing near the Capitol and was followed by camera 0903” –likely one of several busses filled with FBI assets “preparing for their insurrection.”
When the people turned to him and could no longer be indoctrinated and controlled as before, as with critical race theory or the vaccine being good for them, the Deep State turned on them as well. The people now recognized the fake news spouted from almost every news source. They joined in droves the Make America Great Again, MAGA movement, which the Deep State called domestic terrorists. With the “Biden indictments” the people now viewed Trump as the victim and even Democrats were moving over—even black Democrats in Chicago. The Deep State was the enemy of the people and no longer cared what the people thought, particularly on election cheating, illegal immigration, and the Constitution.
Almost every story proved opposite what fake news Deep State story tellers said it was. In no case was this more so than on Jan. 6, and in no case was it more evident that the Deep State had turned on Trump’s MAGA supporters for cruel punishment. Since then “Federal prosecutors have charged more than 1,200 people connected with J6,” and sentenced about 750. (“America’s Political Prisoners:One J6er’s Story,” New American, Feb. 12, 2024, p. 14). With jury pools in DC 90% Democrat this is no wonder—justice there does not exist on this subject. All the new, previously suppressed, taped evidence countered the controlled Deep State narrative. That is why the J6 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!!
Representative Clay Higgins from Louisiana, a former cop, has been studying J6 since it happened. He found that the FBI and Democratic Party had been staging the J6 setup for 10 months before it happened. What follows are some of his assessments. He shared evidence that “the FBI burrowed themselves into various groups online across the country of Americans…Then the FBI worked under cover to infiltrate these conversations”—previous to J6 (Insurrection or Fedgov Operation? By Paul Dragu, The New American, Feb. 12, 2024, pp. 19-20).
Unbeknownst to those walking to the Capitol Jan. 6, the FBI insurrection was already in play with MAGA dressed FBI assets. The FBI eventually used its gathered evidence on these people to set them up as insurrectionists some, like Jake Lang, without trial for over a thousand days.
Higgins showed the Judiciary Committee and FBI Director Christopher Wray a large picture of buses allegedly “filled with hordes of agents dressed as Trump supporters on J6 weekend,” who promptly denied the allegation. Higgins responded directly to Director Wray, “Your day is coming!!”
When the committee asked, “Why do something so subversive, so un-American?” Higgins answered, “Their objective was to destroy the entire MAGA movement, to forever stain the patriotic fever that was associated with the American First MAGA movement, that had won in 2016, and we believe won again in 2020. And the establishment on both sides of both major parties were determined to smash that out of existence, not just by defeating Trump, but by destroying the reputations of the movement itself by creating this narrative that … America First Republicans were somehow a danger to our Republic and a domestic threat.”
Higgins believes the FBI agents “not only infiltrated online MAGA groups and embedded themselves on the ground on January 4, 5, and 6, but went so far as to instigate violence, a notion that the FBI Director denied. Higgins said “some of the evidence shockingly reveals that the FBI agents that were operating under cover within the online groups were the first ones to plant the seeds of suggestions of a more radical occupation of the Capitol.” He mentioned that justice was off balanced between Ray Epp’s, a filmed agent provocateur on the ground most of the day, advocating everyone enter the Capitol, who got off entirely and, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, who wasn’t even present in DC that day, who got a 22 year prison sentence.
What can we say of a political party and their judicial system that does this to its own? Over 1,000 days with no trial, justice, or visitors. Jake Lang did use the time to write a book called Patriot Prisoner. He is also a devote Christian.
How many FBI provocateurs were engaged on the ground and in the Capitol?, Higgins says a conservative number would be 200. These were in place “to set the stage for arrests and prosecution.” It was a setup to entrap and destroy MAGA that backfired. When all is revealed patriots should be pardoned and FBI agents and their assets who entrapped them, incarcerated.
A point of interest is that many J6ers remain political prisoners denied even a trial. One such is Jake Lang who was arrested soon after the event and who now has exceeded 1,000 days of incarceration without a trial of his peers. We believe his incarceration violates Amendment 1 the “right of the people peaceable to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” Amendment 5 “No person shall be …deprived of life, liberty …without due process of law.” Amendment 6, “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial…to be confronted with the witnesses against him; and Amendment 8 forbids “cruel and unusual punishments.” No trial for over 1,000 days, IS cruel and unusual.

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.

Joe Biden is expected to bring in at least 15 million unlawful aliens before his term ends. The Biden illegal alien avalanche invasion, starting as a million a month, has accelerated doubling that, to “about 2 million people—from every country on earth—are entering through the US Southern border every year.” It’s killing the economy! In one day more than 8,000 migrants were apprehended at US border (“Biden’s Hope to make Caucasians a Permanent Minority in the United States,” LibertyUnderFire.org, Sept. 2023). Let’s restructure the Democrat Party from these beholding invaders lined up for food stamps, housing, social security, and soon medical benefits—endless “free” taxpayer-funded services—and become the permanent political party.
Illegal immigration is costing major cities billions potentially bankrupting them. Endless free taxpayer-funded services and jobs are going to illegals instead of to largely Democrat residents turning them from their own party. Ironically Trump’s Wall cost $15.8 billion in steel, mortar and labor costs–with supplies to finish it. Biden’s unlawful resettlement has cost over $20 billion and it hasn’t paid for a single brick or steel rod to end the problem.
Overwhelmed southern border states forced to forward the hordes to northern cities and states who are now also overwhelmed, reached the breaking point. The Democrat solution to the problem is more of the same under their Schumer-Lankford Border Deal limiting the illegals coming in to 5,000 per day but with work permits and legal status, preparatory for voting in 2024. All this on a border that was just three years ago more secure under the Trump Administration, largely by his building a wall, than at any time in our history.
In self defense Texas governor Greg Abbott finally invoked Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution authorizing his state militia (National Guard) to seize “control of Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, (city property where mass illegal crossings are), and is restricting the Border Patrol from accessing the area, saying the feds ‘perpetuate illegal crossings,’ the State has taken control over this area. Texas has deployed armed soldiers and vehicles to block the federal government from accessing the river ‘in Eagle Pass.’” (X22 Reports, hereafter not cited, Ep. 3256b, Jan. 12, 2024, 16:03).
The constitutional provision Abbott cited reads . “No State shall…[a list of activities reserved to the federal government follows] unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of Delay.” THESE EXTREME NUMBERS ARE AN INVASION. Texas also could have cited Article 4, Section 4, “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion.”
Biden is violating this clause in two places. First, “a Republican Form of Government” necessitates a Republic. Biden intentionally placed people illegally in the country, who in gratitude are likely to vote for his party because he let them in, even giving them a free ride to a starting place. Doing so gives his party the edge in elections which damages the required “Republican Form of Government.” Second, obviously Biden is not protecting each state “against Invasion,” but, instead, leading the invasion he is supposed to be protecting the states from. More so when he is using the military to assist the invaders in transporting inland.
And Biden violated the Constitution in two other places as well. In his oath of office He “promises to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Unites States” (Article II, Section 1, Clause 8.), that means upholding it on immigration law. And in Article II, Section 3, the president promises to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,…”—that means existing immigration law. Also, only Congress and governors, (not the President), can call “for the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union suppress Insurrections and repel invasions;” which Biden is violating by attempting to control state militias, now thought to be national guards, (Article I, Section 8, Clause 15). Consequently, 25 states have joined Texas in her efforts to close her border, many committing their national guards as well.
On unlawful immigration alone Biden and his Party are violating several key parts of the Constitution. But the Constitution does allow the state to have its own militia, now called the National Guard, to secure their own borders when the federal government refuses to do so, as Texas is now doing and 25 state governors are supporting.
Current immigration law is Title 8 U.S Code 1324, and has no sympathizing for Americans breaking it. Accomplices are “defined as anyone knowingly encouraging, assisting, transporting, concealing, harboring, or shielding from detection an illegal immigrant.” Anyone who “engages in any conspiracy to commit any of the preceding acts, or aids or abets the commission of any of the preceding acts,” is punishable for up to 10 years for each person assisted or activity. How many years would Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and others encouraging or assisting the caravans of thousands coming up and into the United States get under just law—many life-times?
But what is a state’s recourse when its chief executor, Joe Biden and the Democrats Party openly defy established immigration law, engage in human trafficking of illegals into the interior, and refuse the primary duties of his office to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution and “To take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed…?” We answered that in, “If the Executive Branch Refuses to Protect America, the States Must,” (LibertyUnderFire.org, Oct. 2021). A state with Biden opposition cannot order federal agencies to protect it from an invasion, but it can use the state militia without his authority, which is what Texas is doing. The militia is not the army. It is the people, the citizens, and existed in the 2nd Continental Congress, even before the Constitution. The militia was defined as every able bodied male 17 years of age and older.
Optics are wonderful. The border is the #1 issue for most Americans in the 2024 election. Half the states are standing against this Deep State tyranny. “The only time Joe Biden takes action on the invasion is to block states from stepping in” (Ep. 3265b, January 23, 2024, 19:59). America sees this. If Biden fights Texas, he loses. If Biden stops the invasion, it shows that he could have done so earlier. “The federal government is on the verge of outright war with Texas +25 governors, in order to open up the border for invaders.” Their attempt to change the population vote through illegal immigration is election interference and undermines the vote of every citizen. The enemies of this Republic want foreigners to choose our next president rather than “We the People” as the Constitution mandates. In this Democrats are destroying themselves.

The words presidential immunity are not in the Constitution. What is in Article II is the required presidential oath to “faithfully execute the Office of President” and “to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.” This with, “he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,” make the president the custodian of the Constitution. Section 4, of the same Article identifies the major intolerable threats to the executive branch as “Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes,” but requires removal “from Office on Impeachment for and conviction of.” Only the Senate could do the conviction part and it voted to acquit President Trump. A person tried twice for the same crime, which Democrats are now doing to Trump, is forbidden by Amendment 5. Have these crimes become so prevalent that presidential immunity should not protect them? Yes!
Nothing is more powerful than confession!! We can not allow Biden’s potential use of presidential immunity to hide this or his classified documents crimes as a U.S. Senator or Vice president, nor his crimes of the last three years as president.
For 234 years, from the dawn of this Republic until now, no current or former president has ever been criminally prosecuted for official acts committed while serving. Trial (impeachment) and Senate conviction was seen as sufficient for any bad actors. This was unbroken tradition through 44 presidents—but none of these were accused of treason or bribery which now can be hidden behind presidential immunity.
Separation of powers is a major tenet of the Constitution with none of the three branches of government, executive, judicial or legislative having controlling power over the other two. Presidential immunity “flows directly from the exclusive, vesting clause of Article II. In 1803 Chief Justice John Marshall endorsed it, writing in Marbury v Madison that a president’s official acts “can never be examinable by the courts.” President Trump’s public statements and tweets about alleged fraud and irregularity in the federal election fall within the outer perimeter of presidential duty, to which, communicating with the public on matters of election concern is absolutely central” (X22 Reports, not cited hereafter, Ep. 3243b, Dec. 26, 2023, 39:47).
With respect to the attempt to influence the election, Trump says: “Remember, I was not campaigning – the 2020 election was LONG OVER. What I was doing, is bringing to light the fact that the election was without question Rigged and Stolen. As president and Commander-in- Chief, it was my duty to do so! If I did not do this, I would have been in violation of my oath of office, and take Care Clause, which requires the president to ‘take care that the laws be faithfully executed.’ Therefore I am entitled to total immunity, because that is exactly what I was doing— Taking Care of our country, and guarding it from Rigged and Stolen Elections (EP. 3248B, January 2, 2024, 54:21). He was the president January 6, why would he revolt against himself?
Did Joe Biden admit that he cheated in the Presidential Election of 2020? Some think he did in the following five video taped statements filmed in various settings and times throughout the campaign. 1) “We have put together the most extensive and inclusive, voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” 2)“Folks we’ve got a lot of work to do. I don’t need you to get me elected. I need you once I am elected.” 3) “It’s no longer just who gets to vote or making it easier for eligible people to vote. It’s about who gets to count the vote or whether your vote counts at all.” 4) “It’s about who gets to count the votes and whether they should count at all.” 5) “It’s about who gets to count the vote, count the vote, count the vote. It’s about election diversion not just whether or not people get to vote. Who counts the votes.” Deep State media outlets censored the above (Assembled by Kanekoathegreat, Ep. 3248B, January 2, 2024,. 57:00). Biden is absolutely right whether these are counted by locals behind walls or in China electronically, the 2020 election was determined by who counted the votes (Ibid. 57:00).
So if presidential immunity allows the judicial branch to go after the executive branch (Trump) can he in turn, once back in office, use it on Biden, even Barack Obama, and others who actually committed treason by overthrowing the government? These wanted his taxes believing that there had to be a hidden crime in them, but found nothing. But it legitimized the Congress Oversight Committee in getting Biden’s also. How do you think we found out about Biden’s 20-plus shell companies and his receiving millions from China, Russia and Ukraine in selling influence and state secrets? This, once the Supreme Court ruled that they could have Trump’s taxes.
After more than three years of time, there is no forensic audit or study document that proves Biden won the presidential election of 2020 but there are dozens that prove that Trump won.
Trump tells Biden if I don’t get immunity neither do you. “You don’t indict your political opponent because he opposes the corrupt election which you know was corrupt. Everybody knows it was corrupt. The American people knows it was corrupt. You do not indict your political opponent.” (Ep. 3254b, January 9, 2024, 53:34). In 3 years and 3 months there has been no evidence produced that Biden won 2020 other than the cheating of that one night and before. All new evidence since, dozens of other studies and reports, documents Trump won.
The Deep State is now going after presidential immunity to get Trump. Once removed and exonerated, Trump can go after previous presidents, more fully exposing the Deep State. Trump has done nothing illegal. Removing presidential immunity is the best way to reveal the crimes of the Deep State actors more fully. In addition to overthrowing the government, Biden could be prosecuted for many actual crimes, “including illegally receiving massive amounts of money from foreign countries, including China, Ukraine, and Russia, paying off Ukraine to fire an unfriendly prosecutor, allowing millions of people to illegally enter and destroy our country, surrendering in Afghanistan, with hundreds dead, many Americans left behind, and handing over millions of dollars worth of the best military equipment anywhere on earth, the dissemination of American wealth through the green, New Scam [Deal]…” (EP. 3248B, January 2, 2024, 48:08).
Maybe if presidential immunity were removed it would end the endless Deep State wars (the industrial military complex) that President Eisenhower warned about. Perhaps fearing future lawsuits because of secret combinations for wealth and power would serve as the deterrent.
