We have known since July that “Facebook and Instagram altered their content moderation policies and censored posts under pressure from the [Biden] White House,” this from “never-before-released internal documents, obtained via Judiciary Committee subpoenas” headed by Congressman Jim Jordan. These have been presented in at least three rollouts since, called The Facebook Files I-III. But the purpose of censorship is to keep what this committee has revealed, through incontestable documentation, from you and I.
“Because we were under pressure from the administration,” Facebook succumbed to Biden White House pressure to censor. “We should not have done it,” they admitted. Just one of many documents the Judicial Committee subpoenaed saying this became a common practice and remains so.
Unless you are doing your own research or subscribing, listening, or viewing non Deep State sources, you remain controlled and ignorant, as Facebook and Instagram are Deep State outlets. This was also so of Twitter, now X, before purchased and changed to a free press outlet by Elon Musk (See “Twitter Files Confess: The Great COVID-19 Lie Machine,” Harold Pease, Ph. D. March 31, 2023, Liberty Under Fire.org, Column 707).
Pressure from the government is forbidden under the Constitution as it makes truth indistinguishable from government propaganda. That is why freedom of speech and press are critical to freedom. Government censorship is forbidden because it shapes the narratives to their benefit. Information that opposes theirs is termed misinformation and punished.
Even Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated, “Facebook was continually pressed by ‘external stakeholders,’ including the Biden White House, to remove certain posts”—especially all “vaccine discouraging content.” Facebook Files # I and II exposed government’s efforts to delete messages that discouraged taking the experimental vaccine for Covid-19— even when from medical authorities. Not even memes were “spared from the Biden White House’s censorship efforts.” The Biden Admin. expected YouTube to fall in line similarly and both did.
In another email the White House was enraged that Facebook hadn’t censored Tucker Carlson for a comment he made suggesting vaccine hesitancy. Documents showed Rob Flaherty, White House Director of Digital Strategy, on the phone demonstrating a “clear effort at government-directed social media censorship.” This was frequent and common and often on a first name basis. Facebook “admits White House demands for removal of content were met even when a post did not violate any Facebook policies.”
In July 2021 Biden publicly denounced Facebook and other social media platforms, claiming “they were ‘killing people’ by not censoring alleged ‘misinformation.” On August 2, 2021, Face book announced it would be making changes to its policies “because of pressure from the Biden White House” and vowed “to be more aggressive against …misinformation” admitting that “this. is stemming from the continued criticism of our approach from the [Biden] administration.” Facebook and Instagram became Biden message clones— propaganda arms of the government making a direct assault on the First Amendment. They even “blocked information about vaccine side effects that THEY KNEW were true.” Today they do the same censorship of vaccine injuries which accounts for more deaths than did the virus itself.
The Committee, led by Jordan, concluded, “The collusion of the Biden administration, in coordination with multiple departments within the United States government and big tech, has led to the censorship, silencing and de-platforming of individuals and organizations and it is a direct assault on the First Amendment.” (Rep. Jim Jordan Releases Smoking-Gun Documents Proving Facebook Censored Americans at the Request of Biden Regime, Gateway Pundit. FACEBOOK FILES Part 1, Jim Hoft, Gateway Pundit, July 27, 2023).
This is the meme Jordan published demonstrating, “Not even memes were spared from the Biden White House’s censorship efforts.” Ironically, vaccine injury victims are already suing for compensation–not waiting for 10 years as predicted by the Meme.
Facebook Files III focused on “newly subpoenaed internal notes of meetings between Facebook executives and Biden Admin officials” revealing “more about the lengths the Biden White House wanted to go to control true speech on Facebook.” They lacked tolerance for any other view. It bothered them that The New York Post could churn-out “articles every day about people dying” from the vaccine. “What is supposed to happen to that [them] from Policy perspective. Does that article get a reduction, labels?,” Rob Flaherty, President Biden’s then-Director of Digital Strategy, inquired. They mocked the notion that the people might be intelligent enough to decide themselves. Remember, none of the censors have medical degrees but they block those who do.
Biden administration officials had several conversations with Facebook employees. They wanted to reduce the “reach for any narrative, story they don’t like. Even if the narrative and story is true.” They wanted to control what was seen on Facebook. “They questioned whether Facebook could change its algorithm so users saw more posts from the New York Times and less from competing outlets like the Daily Wire.”
Flaherty readily admitted that, “We’re keen on what platforms are doing to reduce the spread of bad information, that platforms are not funneling people towards bad content. That’s our primary concern.” Under the Constitution the individual decides what is bad content, not government.
Donald Trump probably summed up best how the Deep State treats us when he said, “They use Big Tech to censor you, the Deep State to spy on you, the intelligence agencies to frame you, the media to slander you…They rig elections to disenfranchise you…all the while they claim they are the ones defending democracy and justice” (X22 Reports, Ep 3225b, Dec. 1, 2023).

Sometimes truth is best expressed in poetry; as has Mary Santomoro in her piece “If Mary Had Said No.” This decades old poem was shared as a Christmas message by LibertyUnderFire.com in December 2010, then 2015, and now, 2023. It follows:
“But then a strange thing happened. One day as Mary prayed, Gabriel stood by her and spoke. ‘…the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women.’ And he told her She would bear a son. She knew no man. How could this be? ‘The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, …the power…Most High…over shadow thee;’ … This young Israeli girl then spoke, ‘Behold the handmaid of the Lord.’” Likely the most powerful message given by an angel to humankind in world history. She became the mother of Jesus Christ, Savior of the world and all mankind that would allow it.
“She was a young Israeli girl Living with her mother, Anne. Thrilled that Joseph, House of David, Sought her daughter’s hand.
“Anne was happy for she felt, She had not long to live. Joseph would be good to her, A happy life to Mary give.
“The betrothal was announced, To family and all friends. The preparations had been made. Soon wedding vows would blend.
“But then a strange thing happened, One day as Mary prayed, Gabriel stood by her and spoke ‘Hail, full of grace…’ he said,
“Then, ‘…the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women.’ And he told her even more, She would bear a son, this omen.
“She wondered at his greeting words. She knew no man. How could this be? ‘The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee,…the power…Most High…over shadow thee; …’
“This young Israeli girl then spoke, ’Behold the handmaid of the Lord;’ She accepted what God had asked, … be it done … according to Thy word.’
“We all know as a direct result, A Blessed Babe was born, And laid within a manger Upon a blessed morn.
“For thirty-odd years, Emmanuel, Then we put Him to scorn, Crucified Him on a Cross And all man’s sins were borne.
“By One Who could repair , The wrongs that man had done, And once again restore to each, Adopted daughter, son.
“Since that time more have died, Willingly for His Name. In every age, from every land, Sprung from martyrs, they came.
“Christians, they have long been called, Followers of the Holy One, Living what He taught and lived , That triumph over death he won.
“Many people since that time , Fought great evils to live as He, Carrying the flame of Eternal Truth, Heads bowed, on bended knee.
“But what if Mary had said, ‘No!’ ? Suppose that she had then , Told God, ‘It’s not convenient. Can’t afford the stipend.”
“But what if Mary had said, ‘No!’ ? Suppose that she had then, Told God, ‘It’s not convenient.’ ‘Can’t afford the stipend.’
“She might have said, ‘There’s no way! Everyone will talk!’ ‘I don’t want to have a child.’ Today, would any blame her balk?
“But if she had, chances are , The world would long be gone. And none of us would be here , To choose the right or wrong.
“Long before we even arrived , The world would have become , A more-sophisticated people, Fewer, hedonistic, everyone.
“There would be no call to peace, No inalienable rights assumed, The mighty would gobble up the weak, No intercessions for the doomed.
“Entire nations would disappear, Progeny ripped asunder , For within their very bodies , Sprang no new lives to encumber.
“Pretty soon God would call off the world , Knowing we would never change. Why put up with us any more, This people of such evil-arrange?
One thing, though, we’d have no need, To make decisions we now do… To kill each other, do as we want, Live our life and abort any new!
“But Mary didn’t do that. Not a wail of complaint was wrung. ‘Behold, the handmaid of the Lord.’ For this Jesus Christ was sprung!”
My liberty loving friends in the countries that publish this column, Jesus Christ is the light of the world–our only Savior–embrace Him fully!! There are many unable to have their own babies that pray every day that they might have one or more of these rejected not yet born infants. You may be able to answer their prayers.

Democrats trapped themselves with White House resident Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. She is more unpopular than he and neither is presently electable without cheating surpassing the scale of what they did in 2020. That they are in deep trouble is becoming more obvious as the House Oversight Committee pours out evidence that a Biden crime family exists and Biden is guilty of bribery and likely treason. Democrats have no one with a national audience in the wings except possibly Michelle Obama less than a year before the next presidential election. They do not want their man impeached as that will bring shame and national attention to both crimes mentioned and destroy their party but despite enormous pressure for Biden to resign or at least not run in 2024, he refuses. Still, his corruption as exposed has made him an extremely serious liability.
This New York Times POLL conducted through Siena College of 3, 662 registered voters from October 22 to November 3, 2023 showing Biden behind in 5 of 6 swing states has sent the Deep State into depression. They know they cannot win in 2024 with Biden–even with serious cheating like 2020. This could trigger there removal of him through the 25th Amendment. I knew the poll existed but on the Internet it was very difficult to find buried among polls of 2016 and 2020 of the swing states with no dates.
Republicans do not want to impeach Biden either. They have him right where they want him. Never destroy an enemy in the process of destroying itself. They are having a field day watching him do so. Their impeachment inquiry could last until November 5, 2024. Republicans have no incentive to slow or stop the incriminating evidence flowing out against Biden because they know it exposes Barack Obama and the entire Deep State as well. But they have a second reason for not hurrying the process. Only 16% of Republicans still believe that Biden was elected without cheating therefore he is not the “real” president—it was a Coup d’état. Impeaching him suggests he rightfully held the office. How can you impeach someone never really elected—he only stole the office?
Thus far Biden has not used Section 3 of Amendment 25 to declare himself temporarily unfit for office. It reads, “Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate [currently Patty Murray of Washington, since January 3, 2023] and the Speaker of the House of Representatives [currently Mike Johnson from Louisiana, since October 25, 2023] his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President [Kamala Harris] as Acting President.”
If Biden refuses to declare himself unfit for office but is viewed unfit by those serving with him, Section 4 of Amendment 25 allows Vice President Harris and those serving with him to do so for him. It reads: “Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.” Thus far Congress has not provided any other body to make this declaration.
Biden has shown no interest in declaring himself unfit thus is running out the clock, Harris and et. may have to do so for him. This would advantage the Democrat Party as it forces his ouster without a Senate trial establishing guilt or innocence for either bribery or treason and the Deep State media would cease any coverage of these transgressions as though they never happened.
Comer’s House Oversight Committee keep unloading documentation of both bribery and treason on the part of the Biden criminal family especially Joe as the “big guy”. Especially concerning is the amount of China money laundered through the Chinese Communist Party from the Biden’s influence peddling (the money trail). The Deep State media, FBI, and DOJ appear complicit in this; instead targeting parents at school board meetings opposed to critical race theory.
Later, should Biden again consider himself fit to resume his duties he simply writes these two office holders again with “his written declaration that no inability exists,” [and he] resume[s] “the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.”
There exists no time limit in the Amendment for the removed president to prove his ability to govern so Harris would remain Acting President, unless successfully challenged through the remainder of the Biden term as described. She would never be the President unless she ran for the office in 2024, perhaps against a reinstated Biden. But her own party does not want her and her office as vice president would never be filled while the competency of the president was in question. Biden, under the stigma of poor health during his first term, would not be electable to his own party.
A year from now Donald Trump will be the existing president even if not inaugurated until January 20, 2025. Michelle remains my best guess for the Democrat contender because of the above and name recognition, coupled with a black “woman” Michelle ousting another black woman Kamala does not violate any Democrat Party ethos as would a white, male Gavin Newsome. Still, Michelle cannot successfully compete with the far more powerfully emerging Trump and all the now known, and yet to be revealed Barack Obama Administration corruption from now till then. Even the New York Times admits Trump is ahead in 5 of the 6 battle ground states. No one will pay much attention to Harris as the “Acting President.” It is my view that neither Biden or Harris will have full terms as president. This even more so if the irrefutably evidence Trump will be presenting in his J6 trial shows that Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Biden and Harris were engaged in the 2020 Coup d’état and thus treason.

Few people will understand Trump’s recent comments without help so stay with me. Those totally ignorant of devolution will dismiss it as crazy talk—let them! Let’s note some unusual recent comments made by President Donald Trump, notice his word PAUSE.
On Sept. 25 at his Summerville, South Carolina Rally, he said, “I have three terms…Joe Biden isn’t really running the country. He’s being told what to do by others….This will be bigger than anything we have done. This is the greatest movement of all time in this country and I think probably beyond this country. But if we win this time this will be bigger than anything we’ve ever done—MUCH BIGGER—than had we done it the ‘traditional way’ which we did but didn’t get credit for it. But we did do it. Winner three times that’s how I look at it…One of the things in taking this pause is to show how bad they are. We’ve won twice but I have never seen the spirit that we have[now].” (X22 Reports, hereafter not cited, Ep 3173b, Sept. 26, 2023, 43:23).
Subduing the enemy without fighting has happened twice in America the last thirty years. The first when the socialist Deep State would have made their presence and victories permanent in all future “elections”—had it not been for one man, Donald J. Trump. They successfully “elected” Joe Biden as president in 2000 because too many people were lazy in their voting practices and principles and approved corruption in that election. The American people were the enemy subdued—most unaware. The second was when that one man who, instead of allowing civil war to vindicate his reelection, vacated the White House and spent the next four years exposing the Deep State’s Coup d’état. and showing his countrymen the fraud that actually gave him the victory then and now, winning over the American voter for absolute and overwhelming victory in 2024.
Two days later in his Michigan Rally, “We are having a pause, if that is what you want to call it. It’s a period of time when people are waking up and people are seeing how bad the country is.” He mentioned that he is in his second term [then he paused], “Well yes my second term, but I do not like the results of the second term. I don’t like what’s happening but you could call it my second term. We are at war, this is not the traditional way. This is not normal times. Do you want me to go after them?” (Ep. 3175b, Sept. 28, 2023, 55:10). “In my second term, which we’re sorta having now. The reason Crooked Joe and his thugs are finding it so hard to stop me is that in my first term I disrupted all of it. Oh did I disrupt it. That was called major disruptions and in my second term, which were sort of having now. But I don’t want the results of this second term. This second term is a disaster for this country” (Ep. 3175b, Sept. 28, 2023, 58:21).
In both rallies he refers to his second term, 2020-2024, as a pause “to show how bad they [the Deep State players] are” and a “time when people are waking up.” This fits precisely with devolution which we have previously introduced (See “A Trump Return—Devolution Explained? Aug. 4, 2021, and “Did Trump Implement Devolution and therefore Retains some Control?” August 18, 2021, LibertyUnderFire.org ). Trump left the White House, in effect, removing the target from his back to Biden’s so all could see who the real Deep State enemies of the Republic and the Constitution were. This, while retaining the authority of Commander and Chief over the military, [because this was a Coup d’état] but forbidding the illegitimate government authority to start new wars without patriot consent.
The greatest threat to America for the last hundred years has been the threat of socialism from without. But what if America had to fight socialists on its own soil and they conquered from within by a fraudulent election with some assistance from foreign entities? This happened in the presidential election of 2020 when America fell to Democratic Socialism under Joe Biden.
The military takes a solemn oath to preserve the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic—there first responsibility is to protect the Constitution and the Republic created by it—not the immediate president or his federal government. A president could be its greatest enemy. Our Republic, protected by the Constitution, and socialism are polar opposites. Socialism accepts nothing that limits its power. The antidote to socialism is the Constitution as expressed through devolution as established by Eisenhower fearing such might prevail some day in America (See “A Trump Return—Devolution Explained?,” Harold Pease, Ph. D., LibertyUnderFire).
The Deep State had “fixed” the 2016 election for Hillary Clinton after Barack Obama. But, “Oh did I disrupt it,” said Trump. Trump’s first term 2016-2020 was to put in place the mechanics to catch all the data respecting the Coup d’état which military intelligence advised him was coming in 2020, to remove him since he was not one of them, and they had been otherwise unable to do this through the Robert Mueller Investigation and subsequent Impeachments I and II, and numerous alleged accusations and hoaxes between and since.
This Coup d’état to remove Trump, engineered by the intelligence community, with full support of the Deep State media, was so powerfully executed that no reasonable opposition to it could be assembled to avoid it at that time, as they controlled all the media narratives. The Coup could not be prevented—in fact it would be so natural it would not be noticed by the oblivious public.
The Deep State chorused for at least 9 years their hate Trump narrative. It has been very difficult to find in news sources anything nice, complimentary, or good about the man.
The choice in 2020, if Trump did not leave the White House, was civil war and massive death and destruction, in which Trump would be blamed, or, the slow awakening of the people through —the pause. But taking back the country would never work until the people experienced the loss of freedom and were willing to fight, through the ballot box, to get it back. Meanwhile, the Deep State media chorused for 9 years their hate Trump narrative. The military could not preserve the Constitution and its Republic, and liberty be retained thereafter, without an awakened population, which ironically Trump was trying to do. Everyone had to wait on those Americans who seldom study or vote, don’t care, or understood freedom’s rudimentary elements but had drenched themselves in the privileges of freedom, opportunity and prosperity, having paid no price nor sacrifice but had been indoctrinated to hate Trump.
Although Trump and the military were involved in what was happening, his second term had to be served from outside the White House leaving the bumbling resident Joe Biden to reveal to America what the Deep State government would do once in full power. America crashed and burned in Afghanistan, descended from an energy exporter to energy dependence in days, and shortages were showing up everywhere on previously easily supplied commodities. Trump’s 2nd Term was a pause so people could open their eyes, see and reverse in 2024 America’s fall into socialism and from the Constitution and Republic. America is now awakening as never before.

By now most recognize the existence of the Deep State, known over the decades as the shadow government, globalists, establishment, or secret combinations. They recognize that an underlying power has a presence in our government far beyond the will or vote of the people. It is evidenced over time in both major political parties most presently in the Democrat Party and RINO faction of the Republican Party. This power seeks to remain in the shadows but still govern—it favors the rich and powerful. Today it is more threatened by Donald J. Trump than anyone in its over 100 year history. They will do anything to have him removed because he reveals them.
So what crime has Trump committed repeatedly and in full public view that they could use to remove him but will not dare do so? He is still using a portfolio with the presidential seal on it with “The President” emblazoned at the bottom—see photo above. This is a crime punishable by fine or “imprisonment not more than six months or both,” presumably for each offense. Why? They do not want to make a point that he may still be the legitimate Commander in Chief. Absent their cheating and Coupd’état, he WAS reelected president in 2020. Trump likes to taunt his enemies helping them make mistakes. Is this what he is doing? Probably!
Trump has had more opposition to being president than probably all previous presidents in U.S. history put together. Right now, in the middle of a presidential campaign, he faces 91 criminal charges in four indictments issued within five months of each other all by Democrat prosecutors, and only after he had announced he was running for president again—election interference . If he is found guilty of all combined they could give him over 300 years in prison. These trials are spread over the next year so that a constant potentially criminal label hangs over his head until election day November 5, 2024. He is in court most of the time defending himself rather than campaigning. These too will fade away as the accusations before them. If they really had anything on him he would have been removed by impeachment or locked up years ago. Perhaps he is the most scrutinized person for wrongdoing to have ever lived.
Indeed, two separate judges have gag orders against his defending himself, Judge Tanya Chukan for his use of the word thug, which she says denotes violence (X22 Reports, hereafter not cited, Ep. 3188b, Oct. 16, 2023, 45:08). She gags his followers as well. And Judge Arthur Engoron who already fined Trump $5,000 for having violated his gag order and threatens imprisonment if he does so again. Trump’s answer, “I will go to jail to defend democracy” (Ep. 3193b, October 22, 2023, 51:41). This is the first time in U.S. history the judicial system has been used by the opposition candidate against a former president and the lead contender again for the same office.
In fact, this election interference technique is so obvious that these are often called “Biden indictments.” Is this working for them? No! They have given Trump victim status. His support grows with each new indictment. If the election were held today, without cheating, 53% of Republicans and 30% of Democrats would vote for Trump, with 50% of Independents also, according to the most recent Rasmussen Reports polls (Ep. 3187b, Oct. 15, 2023, 55:46. EP. 3190b, October 18, 2023, 1:00:53).
So what crime has Trump committed repeatedly and in full public view that they could use to remove him but will not dare do so? He is still using a portfolio with the presidential seal on it with “The President” emblazoned at the bottom. This is a crime punishable by fine or “imprisonment not more than six months or both,” presumably for each offense.
This, they could argue, violates 18 U.S. Code § 713 entitled, “Use of likenesses of the great seal of the United States, the seals of the President and Vice President, the seal of the United States Senate, the seal of the United States House of Representatives, and the seal of the United States Congress”. Part (a) of it reads in full. “Whoever knowingly displays any printed or other likeness of the great seal of the United States, or of the seals of the President or the Vice President of the United States, or the seal of the United States Senate, or the seal of the United States House of Representatives, or the seal of the United States Congress, or any facsimile thereof, in, or in connection with, any advertisement, poster, circular, book, pamphlet, or other publication, public meeting, play, motion picture, telecast, or other production, or on any building, monument, or stationery, for the purpose of conveying, or in a manner reasonably calculated to convey, a false impression of sponsorship or approval by the Government of the United States or by any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both” (Cornell Law School, Legal Information Institute).
Certainly Trump believes he won in 2020 (no documentation the last three years plus suggests otherwise) and should be serving his second term, as do his supporters. But the Deep State has no intention of having this fact emphasized and that he may have retained Commander in Chief status with the military’s full consent, allowing Joe Biden to be a counterfeit president and White House resident enabling him and his Deep State government to expose themself as enemies of the Republic and Constitution that could never have happened any other way. In 2020 almost no one would have believed that such a cabal of actors such as the FBI, DOJ, the vast majority of the press, and an “elected” president could successfully accomplish a Coupd’état overthrowing the government of the United States—treason. It’s even hard to swallow now for many with all the evidence of the last almost four years.
Few really believe that Trump actually surrendered the real nuclear football (a fake one possibly, for optics) to a mentally compromised, coup installed, replacement who might actually use it to start a war, say with Russia. Trump probably knew Biden was receiving bribe money from both Ukraine and Communist China. Notice, Biden has not used the War Powers Act to bring American troops to fight in Ukraine and the Middle East and other places as did his predecessors Bill Clinton, both Bush’s, and Barack Obama (Ep. 3188b, Oct. 16, 2023, 28:51). Biden would have if he could have and we likely would be in nuclear war with Russia sometime ago. He appears to have been restrained to giving money and equipment—not troops in combative roles.
The Deep State will do anything to have Trump removed except reveal that he may still be the legitimate Commander in Chief and functioning as such behind the scenes.

It is not surprising that the once great Federal Bureau of Investigation, the FBI, now defines MAGA folks as domestic terrorists. The Bureau has delineated 55% of American voters, the majority now, those supportive of Donald Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” as domestic terrorists in its total decline as a neutral law enforcement agency.
In the Biden Administration it was first parents attending school board meetings complaining of their kids being indoctrinated in critical race theory. Attorney General Merrick Garland’s response was to define these parents as domestic terrorists. Next targeted by the new government were people sharing information out of harmony with Deep State narratives. These were said to be spreading disinformation and thus were domestic terrorists. All violated First Amendment rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights.
Since this meme was published by CBS Nightly News, the FBI and DOJ have added to the domestic terror list Catholics, parents speaking out at school board meetings against CTR indoctrination of their children, and now the 55% of Americans who support Trump’s Making America Great Again (MAGA) movement The majority of Americans have been decreed domestic terrorists by their own government. At what point does the majority decree that it–not they–is the actual domestic terrorists? Three years of close scrutiny of January 6 and the 2020 presidential election document that the insurrection was November 3, by the Deep State—-a cue—and its coverup January 6.
Some saw the Bureau’s degeneration as early as 1992 in Ruby Ridge, Idaho with the Randy Weaver family standoff where a government sniper shot dead Vicki who was holding her baby in her arms standing in the cabin doorway. But the contempt for integrity openly flowered July 5, 2016, when then FBI director James Comey protected Hillary Clinton’s bleach-bit 33,000 emails from congressional review—many classified documents that she unlawfully had on a non-government server. Then followed the FBI’s suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop of crimes until after the 2020 presidential election enabled Joe Biden to come into office. Finally, we now know that January 6 was a fedsurrection orchestrated and led by the FBI to entrap MAGA participants. LibertyUnderFire has published on all these stories.
So when the left of center, Newsweek magazine, broke the story last week that the FBI now considers the MAGA people domestic terrorists, it surprised no one that has been paying attention (“Exclusive: Donald Trump Followers Targeted by FBI as 2024 Election Nears,” By William M. Arkin, October 4, 2023). The FBI has turned rogue and is now the major protector of the Biden Administration and the Deep State.
Newsweek opened with, “The federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump’s: army of MAGA followers.” Under what evidence? Since entering the classroom in 1975, I asked students to identify any moment in US. history when the right side of the political spectrum organized riots and civil disobedience. In my lifetime it has been only the socialist Left. As said, January 6 was orchestrated by the FBI using Antifa and other leftist groups. During the event President Trump told MAGA to “go home in peace.” Patriots never come out of their homes to burn down their own cities as the Left did in their summer riots of 2020. Investigate them, they actually did crimes.
One FBI agent, requesting anonymity, identified a real problem. “By focusing on former president Trump and his MAGA (Make America Great Again) supporters, the official said, the Bureau runs the risk of provoking the very anti-government activists that the terrorism agencies hope to counter. Especially at a time when the White House is facing Congressional Republican opposition claiming that the Biden administration has ‘weaponized’ the Bureau against the right wing” (Ibid.). They may be baiting MAGA?
Joe Biden certainly has encouraged the FBI’s treating MAGA as a terrorist group. Newsweek quotes him as having tweeted, ”Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soul of this country,” and mentions that this tweet was “the first time that he explicitly singled out the former president.” Biden adding, “MAGA Republicans aim to question not only the legitimacy of past elections but elections being held now and into the future” (Ibid.). Is this election interference potentially discouraging the undecided from voting for Trump? Many believe Biden has a hand in orchestrating the four indictments against Trump right in the middle of his presidential campaign.
The Deep State who has been accused of overthrowing the elected government of the United State by manipulating the 2020 presidential election—a coup—benefits from confrontation with the Patriots. ALL documentation the last four years on that election confirms this happened. Are they planning another January 6 for all the MAGA people—perhaps even a civil war—to hide it?
Who are the real domestic terrorists? The FBI has decreed MAGA folks as the biggest threat of domestic terrorism in America today while new evidence continually documents that they orchestrated and led the January 6 attack on the Capitol with the help of Antifa and BLM, The January 6 Commission even made their two years of data virtually impossible to use. Who destroys data that makes their case?
This would benefit the Deep State. If the election was stolen they know their guilt, thus they fear three things: discovery, a sentence of treason, and a stay in Guantanamo Bay after trial. They expect a counter!!! Certainly this was supposed when Biden had fences erected around the capitol on three separate occasions initiating his presidency. This more so now than ever as all evidence shows Biden was never really elected and especially as they witness the exploding growth of the MAGA movement. A nation-wide repeat of January 6 removes all attention from them, essentially burying the evidence against them. Why not get the narrative started that the Patriots will do something?
Will there be violence before the 2024 election, or after? Yes, not by MAGA but by people dressed as MAGA and the Deep State media will film it all just as they did Antifa, dressed as MAGA, on January 6 and replay it for weeks after. Why would we expect a different plan when the one used then worked so well for two years? When you are guilty you camouflage the evidence as did the January 6th Commission 8 months ago.
As we have published before, the Patriot Front, their faces always covered, has been practicing for a moment like this for at least three years and is poised to be the fake MAGA in the hope of bringing actual MAGA into the fray. Please do not be enticed. The expected counter-revolution will happen November 5, 2024, in a one day election using only paper ballots and protected by the military, but this is a column for another time.
