Let us first establish that Congress represents all the citizens of this country (all factions and political parties) and establishes all federal law of the land within our borders. ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) was created by Congress to enforce the federal law they created respecting this country’s borders. Fighting against it is the same as fighting Congress, the U. S. Constitution and the U.S. armed forces. Anyone doing so proves themselves treasonist and an enemy to us all. This has always been the case and understanding until now. Any battle against ICE is to be waged only in the legislative branch and not on the streets of America.
Delaney Hall, an immigration holding center outside Newark, New Jersey where demonstrators gathered May 30, 2026 arguing that the facility is really a concentration camp and those inside kidnapped or abducted. They omitted two important details. If they had not broken our laws by crossing the border they would not be in this place. Or, once in, and realizing that those on this side considered it an invasion, taken advantage of Trump’s generously funded self deportation plan. Americans overwhelmingly support deportation.
The enemies of this country and the U. S. Constitution have been in play for well over 100 years under generic names: Internationalists, Globalists, the Establishment, and now the Deep State. Their major goal during the Biden years was to bring in millions of unvetted illegal immigrants and team up with them to destroy America. The laws of entree into this country are enforced by ICE thus they seek to destroy ICE and the Republic it preserves. This conglomerate, collectively called the Deep State, funds and assists virtually every Anti-American cause.
This facet’s most recent activity to destroy ICE was May 30, 2026 outside Delaney Hall, an immigration holding center outside Newark, New Jersey, thus we will call it the Delaney Hall Riot. They admit to being a “collection of anti-Israel, Marxist and Democratic organizations.” This riot was planned for up to a year in advance. They comprise at least 100 organizations and are heavily financed to the tune of $825 million in combined annual revenue. Within the 100 organizations are “big names like the ACLU, Indivisible and Democratic Socialists of America. Their document calling all socialists to assemble was the “Delaney Hall Creator Brief.” In mere minutes, “the call to action spread through secret groups on Signal, an encrypted messaging platform, activating hundreds of anti-ICE activists… collaborating on transportation, logistics and supplies, like goggles, protections against pepper spray, respirators and protective knee pads.”
Word choices are an important part of the propaganda war. “The strategy document directs content creators to call the detention center a ‘concentration camp’ and detainees ‘captives’ who were ‘kidnapped/abducted/taken.’” These “tactics mirror the system deployed in Minneapolis earlier this year to protest ICE actions, and military experts say the operations resemble the tactics of an insurgency” (“Secret Signal chats reveal how anti-ICE agitators coordinated Newark riots,” by Asra Q. Nomani, Michael Dorgan, Preston Mizell, FOX News, June 4, 2026). Indeed it does because THIS IS AN INSURGENCY. “They act like military battalions…Fox News Digital observed tents stocked with respirators, goggles, protective pads, decontamination supplies and other protest-support equipment.”
Fox News pointed out a fatal weakness, an Achilles' heal, to them if only the House will act upon it. “About 70 of the groups have received special designations as charities by the IRS, have status as regular 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) nonprofits, as well as labor union 501(c)(5) and 501(c)(6) nonprofits, enjoying tax-deductible donations and certain tax-free benefits.” These seventy organizations presently are “under congressional investigation for alleged abuse of those designations.” Ending their inappropriate tax exemption status is critical to saving America.
The lies about Delaney Hall being a concentration camp, they being kidnapped, and being horribly mistreated were debunked rather quickly when “the state of New Jersey's health inspectors went to Delaney Hall and didn't find a single violation. They concluded, ‘No lawbreakers in the history of human civilization have been better treated.’” (Fox News, X22 Reports, hereafter not cited, Ep. 3920b, June 4, 2026, 7:10).
Let us acknowledge our recent deportation history—all living presidents deported. Bill Clinton deported 2 million with no riots or objections from his political party. George W. Bush deported 2 million with no riots or objections. Obama deported 5 million with no riots or objections. Trump’s first term he deported 2 million with no riots. Biden deported 4 million with no riots or objections from his party. Trump’s second term, as of June 1, 2026, deported 900k with numerous riots, protests, even deaths and universal objection from RINO’s and Democrats, 2 million self deported. Its all manufactured to stop Trump (Ep. 3917b, June 1, 2026, 16:57).
We live in a day when both the Departments of Justice of Biden and Trump have ruled the other domestic terrorists. Americans who block ICE or immigration enforcement usually also have extreme views in favor of mass migration and open borders. If they are physically ready to block ICE they are likely also to support overthrowing the U.S. Government—three of the 8 definitions of Domestic Terrorist.
Trump’s most recent Executive Order “Restoring Integrity to America’s Financial System” should discourage our banks and financial systems from being used as accomplices to criminal activities. Trump describes it, “I recently signed a powerful new executive order, which will be led by the Treasury Department, to stop banks, credit cards, and financial institutions from being used to facilitate human smuggling, drug trafficking, illegal immigration, and the criminal cartels who orchestrate these activities. Access to our nation’s financial systems must be limited to those who have a legal right to be here, and who are engaged in lawful and legitimate commerce. Bank accounts being used to enable illegal immigration, or to store the welfare received by illegal aliens will be shut down, and funds will ultimately face impoundment and seizure so they can be returned to taxpayers. It is not ludicrous, but profoundly dangerous, that any illegal alien can simply present a blue state drivers license, or Biden border document, and have unrestricted access to the U.S. financial system… My executive order will also allow us to stop billions in leaving our country in all manner of criminal activity. It has been said this measure we are taking is the most effective means of reversing Biden's border invasion.” And indeed it likely will be. Some of us remember some banks shutting down Trump accounts in his first term while supporting Epstein’s illicit millions in blackmail money (Ep. 3919b, June 3, 2026, 21:05).
For illegals who still do not want to return home. Department of State Secretary Marco Rubio has lined up 20 countries willing to take them. They quickly succumb to deportation to their home country when told they would be going to a different foreign country.

Now that the dust has mostly settled we can see much more clearly what happened in Iran that was mostly censored by America’s Deep State medias. Disclose TV reported, "The Iranian people, when they don't hear bombs, go off, they're upset. They want to hear bombs, because they want to be free." They all knew the bombs were from America. Failure to hear them meant that America’s attack on the hated Islamic Revolutionary Guard Core (IRGC)– had been unsuccessful. POTUS explained to a reporter that the Iranian people yearn for freedom: “We've had numerous intercepts; ‘Please keep bombing, and these are people that are living where the bombs are exploding’… They want freedom. They have lived in a world that you know nothing about” (X22 Reports, hereafter not cited, Ep. 3877b, April 6, 2026, 42:41).
Islam has a centuries long history of suppressing women’s rights. Today demonstrations in Iran focus on women’s right to life and freedom. Activists, journalists, singers and other public figures are targeted by the government for arbitrary detention, torture through flogging, coercive interrogations and threats. Some few have been murdered. Compulsory veiling is the major sign of subordination. The IRGC sees protesting as defiance toward the government.
Nima Ebadi, an Iranian, explained what that world was/is like. “Let me tell you what POTUS is talking about here: In Iran, if you protest, you die. Not metaphorically. Snipers on rooftops shoot people in the head and chest. In January, the regime massacred thousands in the streets, many of them young people whose only crime was demanding a normal life. When he says Iranians are telling the US to keep bombing he is describing a population so desperate to be free from the regime that murders them for political protesting that they are willing to endure war if it means that the system that is terrorizing them for 47 years finally falls. You may not understand that. Most westerners can't. You've never lived in a country where your daughter can be shot in the face for not covering her hair. Where your son disappears into even prison and you get a call to come pick up the body. Where the Internet goes dark so the world can't see the killing. That's what they have lived. In a world that you know nothing about.…Understand the Iranian people have been begging the world to see them for years. This is the first U.S. president to say it out loud” (Rapid Response 47, Ep. 3878b, April 7, 2026, 36:52). Or, to offer help he may add.
The uncensored outlets spoke of at least 30,000 Iranians massacred in Iran by their own IRGC government last January for protesting and another 12,000 in the three months following. With the nation on total blackout at the time it was virtually impossible to confirm. It appears clear that both Israel and the United States only targeted the hated IRGC regime and not the Iranian army or the Iranian people. The IRGC, served as their Deep State police to protect the fanatical Islamic Theocratic system—the part that feels itself destined by God to destroy all that do not convert to Islam or are not obedient to the rules of Islam. It allows no tolerance.
Those protesting included eight women condemned to be executed by hanging for not covering their hair in public. Trump issued a plea to Iran to release these women. "Please do them no harm!,” he said. Iran, decided not to carry out the sentence. Instead, “Four will be released immediately, and four will be sentenced to one month in prison. Trump expressed his appreciation to the leadership in Iran for honoring his request.” The left's only comment was these photos look AI enhanced. Perhaps, but that has nothing to do with story accuracy.
Those protesting included eight women condemned to be first raped then executed by hanging for not covering their hair in public. “Not a word from even one international community or so-called human rights organizations.” Trump issued a plea to them to release these women. "Please do them no harm!,” he said (Ep. 3888b, April 21, 2026, 21:430). Iran, decided not to carry out the sentence. Instead, “Four will be released immediately, and four will be sentenced to one month in prison. Trump expressed his appreciation to the leadership in Iran for honoring his request” (Ep. 3889b, April 22, 2026, 29:37). It is likely, this leniency came about because of the developing new government, the Republic of Iran. The IRGC government would have permitted no such leniency. They believe raping first, before execution, degrades the victim beyond repair in the next world—a double punishment for their defiance.
As a result of 47 years of religious tyranny the people have never loved their government. Consequently even now, last week, Tausi TV reports, "Armed clashes erupt across major cities in Iran. Confirmed fighting reported in Tehran, Tabriz in the northwest, Ahvaz in the south, and Isfahan in the center near key nuclear facilities including Natanz. Verification took hours due to a flood of disinformation and an ongoing Internet shut down inside Iran. Zero Internet access, with only some using Starlink, is slowing communication as the situation unfolds.”
This is confirmed by The Iran Watcher. "Armed clashes between the Iranian army and the IRGC are reportedly erupting inside Iran. According to Alhurra, citing informed military and political sources inside Iran, tensions between the regular army, and the IRGC have escalated into armed confrontations in Tehran, Tabriz, Isfahan, and Ahraz following the death of Khomeini… The backdrop here is important. The founder of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Khomeini, originally created the IRGC because he feared a military coup from the regular Iranian army after the revolution. Over the decades, the regime transformed the IRGC into a parallel military empire, giving it far more funding, political influence, economic control, and technological favoritism than the regular army. While the army was often sidelined and distrusted, the IRGC became the regimes real power center, controlling major sections of the economy, missile forces, intelligence operations, and proxy networks across the regime” (Ep. 3910b, May 21, 2026, 29:48).
Iranian resistance to the IRGC government was in place even before Trump dropped the first bomb on Iran last February. Tony Seruga, an investigative reporter, in a May 29, 2026 piece called “Iranians vs. Iran:Mossad’s Sleeper Agents—Not Israelis—Led the Ground Assault that Crushed Tehran’s Air Defenses in Operation Rising Lion,” enabling Iranian nationals recruited & trained by Mossad (Israel’s intelligence arm) to destroy “a key air-defense site near Tehran, paving the way for Israeli jets to strike deep. Weapons, drones & missile parts were smuggled in — disassembled and hidden in everyday items like luggage or appliances. Final target coords dropped only minutes before launch. Additional Mossad cells activated that same night guided precision strikes on senior IRGC aerospace commanders and crippled more air defenses + ballistic missile systems across Tehran and western Iran.”
America’s Deep State media get their news exclusively from the IRGC. The censored side, and Trump, prefers the side of the people and new forming Republic. Trump says "Iran really wants to make a deal, and it will be a good one for the USA and those that are with us.” Trump tells his critics, "Just sit back and relax, it will all work out well in the end – it always does!” (Ep.3917b, June 1, 2026, 31:53). He expects Iran to liberate itself and it appears to be doing just.

America, and the world as well, is at war with very different types of terrorists: Transnational narco-terrorists and gangs, Legacy Islamist terrorists, and Violent Left-wing extremists terrorists. All are transnational, have evil and destructive intents, hate Christians and Jews and would destroy the U.S. Constitution and individual liberty had they power to do so. In America all three terrorists priority groups favor the Democrat Party and hate President Donald Trump because he seeks to destroy them, The common denominator to them all is that the Deep State is embedded in them and is happy to use them, and does, for its controlling purposes.
Presently America, liberty and the Constitution are threatened more than at any time in U.S. history except for the November 3, 2020-through January 6, 2021 presidential election and Electoral College certification. Previously, enemies were identified as nations we were at war with at different times: Vietnam, Korea, USSR, Germany, Japan, Spain and Great Britain. Today enemies are not necessarily countries but enemy groups within nations including from within our own government. For the first time in US history the majority of our most dangerous enemies are domestic terrorists. That is why President Trump assembled the military last Sept. 30, 2025, at Marine Corps Base Quantico, warning them that they could play a role in dealing with enemies from within (Trump Discloses to The U.S. Generals “The Enemy is From Within,” by Harold Pease, Ph. D., LibertyUnderFire.org, October 8, 2025).
The Trump administration has categorized today’s enemies into three terrorists priority groups: narco terrorists and transnational gangs, legacy Islamist organizations, and violent left-wing extremists, including anarchists and Antifa. The third priority is the violent left-wing extremists. The strategy for its removal directs the present government to map their membership, sever international ties, and cripple them operationally before they can carry out attacks. As evidence of the threat the document cites the assassination of Charlie Kirk by a radical whom the strategy describes as espousing extreme transgender ideology (THE WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON, UNITED STATES COUNTERTERRORISM STRATEGY 2026).
The recently declassified Kennedy files revealed that the CIA, found to have been most responsible for the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and a shadow government now referred to as the Deep State, would have been in this third group. Over the decades American Deep State cells were established in Cuba, Iran, Ukraine, and Venezuela—in that order. Both are knee deep in all three terrorists and priority groups.
The Biden administration had previously identified white supremacists and anti-government extremists as the domestic terrorism threat. By October 13, 2023, the Biden U.S. Department of Homeland Security put out a meme called Potential Terror Threats adding to the list those in opposition to his COVID measures, those claiming election fraud, those believing Trump can be reinstated, and those honoring 9/11 anniversary and religious holidays. The meme was published by CBS Nightly News. Soon thereafter the Biden FBI and DOJ added Catholics, parents speaking out at school board meetings against CTR indoctrination of their children, and the 55% of Americans who support Trump’s Making America Great Again (MAGA) movement (See, “Biden’s Chilling Pursuit of Conservatives, Arctic Frost,” LibertyUnderFire,” Sept. 23, 2025). Consequently, the majority of Americans were decreed domestic terrorists by their own government. At what point do the majority realize that it (the federal government) not they (the people) was the actual domestic terrorist?
As mentioned last September 30, 2025, Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth summoned hundreds of the nation’s top military officers to Marine Corps Base Quantico. Trumps two principle messages given all the generals and admirals were that the enemy is within this country and the military must remember its oath to protect and defend the Constitution from “all enemies foreign and domestic.” This time domestic. Trump said, “This is going to be a big thing for the people in this room because it's the enemy from within and we have to handle it before it gets out of control. It won't get out of control once you're involved.”
On May 6, 2026, President Trump signed the 2026 United States Counterterrorism strategy (referenced above) setting out the clearest statement yet of his administration's national security priorities. The strategy must address all three priority groups. They interrelate and all must be dealt with simultaneously. The Deep State cells America established within other countries, in their efforts to control the world, must be removed which is what Trump is doing. Trump is treating counterterrorism and counterinsurgency as the same thing, as are we. The insurgency happened when the presidential election of 2020 was rigged. That insurgency is treated as a type of terrorism —they overthrew the Trump government in a Coup d'état. Biden was installed not elected.
Under Biden the majority of Americans were decreed domestic terrorists by their own government. At what point do the majority realize that it (the federal government), not they, (the people) was the actual domestic terrorist?
The 16 page document frames counterterrorism as a core mission centered on protecting Americans from both foreign and domestic threats, “Our nation has not been well served by its Intelligence Community (IC),… has been actively weaponized by its leadership as a political tool…This Administration will continue to prohibit the IC from being used politically against innocent Americans. As real threats were ignored or underplayed, Americans have witnessed the politically motivated killings of Christians and conservatives committed by the violent left-wing.” We will “prioritize the rapid identification and neutralization of violent secular political groups whose ideology is anti-American, radically pro-transgender, and anarchist. We will use all the tools constitutionally available to us to map them at home, identify their membership, map their ties to international organizations like Antifa, and use law enforcement tools to cripple them operationally before they can maim or kill the innocent” (Ibid.).
So Trump has setup the counterinsurgency of the people, the military and the executive branch which has exposed the Deep State insurgency of 2020-2021 and is putting everything in place to counter everything yet anticipated as well, which already included the participating trans community, Antifa, illegals, and brainwashed Democrats—the domestic terrorists within our country willing to work alongside the other two terrorists priority groups the narco terrorists and foreign Islamists terrorists to bring down America. Trump has prepared for what is to come defending America from all enemies, foreign and domestic as required in his oath of office.

After the November 2016 defeat of Hillary Clinton and election of Donald Trump, President Obama, the outgoing president with mere days left in office, directed his intel staff to create a fake 2017 Intel Community Assessment on Trump to prevent him from ever taking office. It served as the basis for what was essentially a year long coup against the duly elected president of the United States, subverting the will of the American people and attempting to delegitimize Donald Trump's presidency” (NEW EVIDENCE UNCOVERS OBAMA-DIRECTED CREATION OF FALSE INTELLIGENCE REPORT USED TO LAUNCH YEARS-LONG COUP TO UNDERMINE PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, Press Release, Tusi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, July 23, 2025).
Obama violated all the above conditions and has for nearly a decade. He TOTALLY lacked authority, was not authorized by Trump either term, and clearly undermines the U.S. government’s official foreign policy and diplomatic efforts. It is true no-one has been convicted on the Logan Act but it is also true that no one of higher position has violated it and to the depth, extent, and frequency as Barack Obama. If not enforced now it never will be.
Although Barack Obama left office 9 1/2 years ago and has been a private citizen for almost a decade, he still runs his shadow government as he did through Trump’s first term, Biden’s only term and just last week, 15 months into Trump’s second term, he met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, and a mix of other globalist Deep State figures. “The gala connected to the Global Progress Action Summit (co-hosted by Canada 2020 and the Center for American Progress Action Fund), held mainly on May 9 at the Fairmont Royal York in Toronto. This progressive policy gathering included various international figures, but these were mostly cabinet ministers, former leaders, and U.S./European politicians rather than sitting foreign heads of government alongside Obama and Carney (Grok.com). Obama gave the keynote address.
This mostly secret “think tank” event was closed to the public and media. There are no transcripts, photos or public statements, thus few specifics—only that which has leaked out. Citizen Obama could clear his name by publishing his and the addresses of all attending but won’t because the Left won’t insist that he does. Others view the assemblage as the criminal syndicate leader, Obama, meeting with his criminal syndicate.” (X22 Report hereafter not cited Ep. 3901b, May 10, 2026, 22:00).
Critics claimed Obama’s meeting violated the Logan Act, a 1799 U.S. law barring unauthorized negotiations with foreign governments in disputes with the United States. “Former presidents often meet foreign leaders, they say, and that there was no evidence of policy negotiations in this case, a standard courtesy—NOT TEN YEARS LATER—and no casual get-together requires a key note speaker, which Obama was (“Obama’s Toronto visit with PM Carney draws Logan Act backlash” May 9, 2026, MSN). Carney debunked that when he wrote. Obama, "Thank you for joining us in Toronto for important conversations on how we can build a better and more just future—and empower more people to build with us.” (Newsweek, “What Is the Logan Act? MAGA Seethes as Obama Meets Carney in Canada,” by Hollie Silverman, May 9, 2026). Sounds like Biden’s “Build Back Better” 2020 campaign strategy. Certainly highly political.
Saggezza Eterna, platform author, said it best, Obama “is utilizing his status to provide a back-channel for foreign leaders to circumvent the elected will of the American people. The spectacle of a former executive jetting across the border to play statesman reveals the true nature of the globalist insurgency. Barack Obama remains the primary architect of the shadow government [we now call the Deep State ] that views American sovereignty as an obstacle to be managed or dismantled” or betrayed or disregarded by someone whose authority to do so ended almost a decade ago. Today, Barack Obama’s authority is nothing more, nor less, than a bricklayers or plumber.
Obama’s “arrival in Toronto on May 8, represents a direct assault on the current administration’s mandate. While the media paints this as a routine speaking engagement, the strategic reality is far more sinister. Obama is utilizing his status to provide a back-channel for foreign leaders to circumvent the elected will of the American people. This is the behavior of a man who believes his ideological vision grants him immunity from the laws that govern ordinary citizens. We are watching a calculated effort to preserve the neoliberal order by any means necessary, including the betrayal of national interests for the sake of a "more just" globalist hegemony.”
To globalists, “the law of the land is a mere suggestion for the anointed elite of the radical left. Barack Obama’s keynote address at the Canada 2020 Gala is a definitive case study in institutional arrogance. As a private citizen with no official authority, he has inserted himself into the delicate machinery of U.S.-Canada relations. The Logan Act expressly forbids unauthorized citizens from engaging in intercourse with foreign governments to defeat American measures. Obama treats this 1799 statute as a relic intended for his political inferiors. By holding ‘important conversations’ with Prime Minister Mark Carney during active trade disputes, he operates a shadow presidency designed to sabotage the ‘America First’ agenda. He is leveraging his past status to provide political cover for foreign leaders who seek to resist American tariffs and security policies. This is a calculated breach of federal code. He has chosen to act as a freelance diplomat for a progressive vision that the American electorate has firmly rejected.”
Moreover, Saggezza Eterna, concludes, “By headlining this gala, Obama coordinates a multinational resistance against U.S. economic interests. These closed-door sessions represent a deliberate attempt to embolden Carney’s defiance against American trade demands. The ‘just future’ they discuss is a code for a world where American prosperity is subordinated to the whims of international bureaucrats,” [the globalists] ( Saggezza Eterna@FinalTelegraph ). If Trump did send someone to represent him in this secret meeting of globalists in Toronto May 9th, it certainly would not be Obama!!!
Thus far only one U.S. Senator saw what Obama was attempting to do and spoke out, Democrat John Fetterman. “I don't know who he thinks elected him to do that, but it wasn't the people I serve, "said Fetterman, “Honestly, I find it offensive.” Fetterman seemed annoyed also with the Obama weekly visits to the Capitol to keep Democrats in lock step agreement. Fetterman says “Obama has been conducting these visits weekly since he has been in the Senate.“ (Ep. 3901b, May 10, 2026, 24:32). Obama’s shadow government, now 9 1/2 years old, remains very active.

The war on Iran was clearly billed as removing Iran as a nuclear threat to Israel, America and to the world. Existing nuclear bomb facilities were destroyed, the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Core) consisting of the mullah government, likely brought to power with the help of the Deep State in America, was mostly also destroyed, and its ability to enrich Uranium removed. In 45 days Trump removed that threat and their radicalized leadership that made Iran the leading terrorist nation in the world although there remains some limited resistance.
In 2015 under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action “the Obama administration unfroze $100-$150 billion in Iranian assets and sent $1.7 billion in literal cash transfers on pallets to Iran. BBC News offered this photograph. Within months of the payment Iran funneled hundreds of millions to Hezbollah, Hamas, expanding its IRGC cut throat operations across Syria and Iraq and increased funding for Yemen Houthis’ insurgency. “Barack Obama bears primary responsibility for today's Middle East crises.” Had he not shipped 1.7 billion dollars in cash to Iran, “they would not have had the funds to build their nuclear, missile, and drone programs.
Obama was the second most important reason we attacked Iran. I have always said if a conspiracy theory lasts more than five years it is probably not a conspiracy because truth can’t be fully destroyed and any attempt to do so gives life to it. Most of the things thought to be conspiracy theories in 2020 have proven instead to be conspiracy fact.
One such is the The Uranium One Deal, now 16 years old and goes like this. In 2010, Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State under Barack Obama, sold uranium acquired from Wyoming and Utah (20% of America’s supply) to a Russian firm, passing then to Iran, and North Korea. This can be forensically proven or disproven by uranium’s specific isotope signature as having come from America when it is unburied from Trump’s B-2 bomber attack on Iran’s nuclear site Fordow. If so, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama directly gave the Iranians the fuel for a nuclear bomb to be used against Israel or America (X22 Report, hereafter not cited, Ep. 3879b, April 8, 2026, 51:31). Giving aid and comfort to the enemy is defined in the U.S. Constitution as treason.
Nine years ago on October 19, 2017, Trump wrote, “The Uranium Deal to Russia, with Clinton help and Obama administration knowledge, is the biggest story that fake media doesn't want to follow!” Clandestine, an investigative reporter, asked, "What if the single most damning piece of evidence against the Deep State/Obama administration, was sitting underneath the rubble at Fordow? Uranium” (Ep. 3886b, April 19, 2026, 28:25). Will this evidence be discovered? Trump says yes. “It is now and has been under very exacting satellite surveillance (Space Force). Nothing has been touched from the date of attack” (Ep. 3879b, April 8, 2026, 51:07).
In 2015 under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action “the Obama administration unfroze $100-$150 billion in Iranian assets and sent $1.7 billion in literal cash transfers on pallets to Iran. The official explanation was that this was Iran's own money part of a decades old settlement from the Shaw era. In reality, it became the single greatest funding injection ever received by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Core, a military and intelligence octopus already controlling the nation’s economy through shell corporations, terror alliances [and] front groups.
History reminds us that Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted for conspiracy to commit espionage and were executed by electrocution June 19, 1953 for passing to the USSR our atomic bomb secrets. This act of treason was alleged to have advanced the USSR’s acquiring a nuclear weapon many years beyond the most optimistic predictions. Has history repeated itself with Obama / H. Clinton and Iran?
“Within months of the payment Iran funneled hundreds of millions to Hezbollah, Hamas, expanding its IRGC cut throat operations across Syria and Iraq and increase funding for Yemen Houthis’ insurgency. They were responsible for targeting civilian ships in the Red Sea. Iranian officials themselves admitted everything from what we eat and drink to our rockets comes from Tehran's regime coffers [from America], while Iranian cities fell further into poverty, the regime's war machine booms. Drones, ballistic missiles, and oil smuggling networks began popping up in violation of international sanctions that Obama himself had dismantled.…Neoliberal chaos as a governing strategy via the Obama team: Clinton, Newland, Powers, [and] Rhodes weren't naïve idealists. They were intentional engineers of this disorder" (Tony Saruba, Ep. 3877b, April 6, 2026, 16:00). Thus—“Barack Obama bears primary responsibility for today's Middle East crises.” Had he not shipped 1.7 billion dollars in cash to Iran, “they would not have had the funds to build their nuclear, missile, and drone programs – nor to arm Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis” (Saif Alderei Ep. 3873b, March 31, 2026, 16:32).
The $1.7 billion transfer to Iran occurred in early 2016, Obamas last year in office, “with the first $400 million delivered on January 17, 2016 coinciding with Iran's release of four American prisoners. The remaining $1.3 billion was transferred in installments: $700 million on January 22, 2016 and $600 million on February 5, 2016. These payments were part of a settlement resolving decades – old arbitration claim between the United States and Iran over a failed arms deal from the 1970s” (ChatGPT). The money was first flown “to Switzerland aboard an unmarked, chartered aircraft, and then converted into euros, Swiss francs and other currencies. An Iranian transport aircraft then flew the cash to Iran in three shipments” (ifmat.org).
The consequence of this “aid and comfort” to the enemy was addressed by Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth. “Many of the Iranian military factories and bases that were systematically destroyed were PAID FOR by the pallets of American cash that Barack Obama flew into Tehran under the Iran Deal… Iran took our money and turned it into weapons and bunkers and ammo, and now we're destroying those weapons and were righting. You're righting, Mr. President, that government's grievous wrong” (Ep. 3868b, March 26, 2026, 31:21)!
None of this is new to those of us who were on top of this story in 2016 but most of the people were still programed by the Deep State news sources that, if they covered it at all, it was discredited as a conspiracy theory. No one can legitimately do so now.
President Trump made his demands very clear. Iran cannot obtain a nuclear bomb to threaten the United States and Israel and they must turn over the enriched uranium that's in their possession. He said, “We await their response." Why must the uranium be returned to the United States? It is a matter of national defense. It has the nuclear footprint needed to connect Obama and Clinton with treason (Rapid Response 47, Ep. 3890b, April 23, 2026, 45:00). Obama should want it returned and evaluated to prove his innocence as the source of Iran's nuclear bomb fuel.

The news is filled with the most recent attempted assassination of President Donald Trump. This time at the White House Correspondents Dinner April 25, 2026, by 31 year old admitted would be assassin, Cole Thomas Allen, a guest in the Washington Hilton, the same hotel where John Hinckley tried to assassinate Ronald Regan in 1981. Allen fired and hit an agent as he ran through several in the lobby but was soon stopped and arrested. The Deep State media framed this attempt as the third on the life of Donald Trump in the last two years, which is true, but it is also the 6th on him in ten years. They are responsible for the constant hate Trump rhetoric that has propagated the news, which is the source of this violence for over a decade. Let’s briefly remind ourselves of five prior attempts to assassinate the president from the most recent back to 2016.
Protestors are tussling with Secret Service over the last fence barrier before, though sheer force of numbers, invading the White House seeking access to President Trump obviously to kill him. Secret Service agents rushed the President to a White House bunker below for safety. Notice the fire in the distance, top middle of the photo. Reinforcements and pepper spray finally stopped them. Some 60 Secret Service members were injured!! What if they had breached this last fence and had access to Trump? Where are the discussions and investigations of how Trump and / or democracy barely survived May 30, 2020?
Number 5, Sniper at Trump’s Golf Course, September 15, 2024, Assassination Attempt. Ryan Wesley Routh (58), had made a nest from which to shoot former President Trump with his SKS rifle just outside the fence of the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida when Trump reached hole 6. Routh, had to have possessed leaked information that Trump would be golfing that day. After hiding there for nearly 12 hours, and on the former president’s arrival, Routh pointed his weapon through the fence line, approximately 400 yards (370 m) away from Trump. A Secret service agent noticed and fired four rounds towards Routh, who them fled the scene. He was subsequently arrested. On February 4, 2026, he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Number 4, Butler, Pennsylvania Rally July 13, 2024, Trump Assassination Attempt. The official story has 20 year old Thomas Matthew Crooks, a lone gunman, shooting from an unsecured rooftop—the line of fire unobstructed. Everyone knew the lone gunman, a favorite Deep State narrative, would be all that most would get, despite all the evidence otherwise (“Was Trump’s Assassination Attempt an Organized Deep State Operation?,” July 17 2024, and “Deep State’s Lone Shooter Narrative 100% Debunked by Forensic Data,” July 24, 2024, both by LibertyUnderFire.org). Predictably a lone gunman was the Biden FBI’s final report. We have learned since that Thomas Matthew Crooks was taken out—not by Secret Service snipers as alleged—but by local law enforcement. Where were the Secret Service or Biden FBI? So many questions unanswered and the Trump Administration seemingly has moved on. Still, out of nowhere Trump announced, during the bombing of Iran in March, that he got his Iranian assailant. LibertyUnderFire believes that Iran was involved and that this story is wrapped up in the “Grand Conspiracy” which will tie the assassination attempt to Deep State treason with foreign assistance when the time is right.
Number 3, Trump’s Mar-A-Lago home was raided by the Biden FBI August 8, 2022 with Authorization to Use Deadly Force. Released court documents, forced out of the Department of Justice largely by America First Legal, revealed unacceptable details about the FBI’s raid. Many conservatives believe it was a failed attempt by Deep State leaders, Joe Biden and Merrick Garland, to endanger Donald J. Trump, his family and the U.S.Secret Service (USSS) in a potential line of fire should the raid go awry—with Trump the intended victim. According to the filing, “The DOJ and FBI agents planned to bring standard issue weapons, MO, handcuffs and medium and large sized bolt cutters. They were also instructed to wear unmarked polo or collared shirts and to keep law enforcement equipment concealed.” (Brooke Singman, Fox and Friends, Fox News, May 21, 2024). Why? So Trump might think them thieves and protect himself drawing fire? Thirty agents descended that evening on Trump’s home (“FBI’s Deadly Force Policy on President Trump Smells Really Bad,” LibertyUnderFire.org, June 5, 2024). This was eventually known except for the authorization to use deadly force entrapment ending in Trump’s planned death in a gun fire exchange between USSS and FBI agents dressed in plain clothes in the dark of the night. Casualties in the “accident” would be considered necessary collateral damage. A very sober charge.
U.S. Secret Service members stand guard outside former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home after Biden FBI agents raided it, in Palm Beach, Florida, Aug.8, 2022. They could have mistakenly exchanged fire with FBI agents dressed in plain clothes. Had Trump been at Mar-a-Largo, instead of Trump Tower in New York City, any misstep in the dark could have left him the target of the Biden FBI. Casualties would be considered necessary collateral damage and the Deep State would have removed their arch enemy willing to reveal them.
Number 2, Attack on Trump in the White House. 60 USSS agents injured, May 30, 2020. Most remember the White House under attack when hundreds of angry BLM and Antifa anarchists violently protested the death of George Floyd and simultaneously threatened President Trump. They burned cars and pillaged businesses in big cities across the nation. They intended the same for the White House and its resident. They burned St Johns Episcopal Church across the street. CNN reported, “More than 60 US Secret Service Uniformed Division officers and special agents were injured starting Friday night through Sunday morning near the White House as protests rocked Washington DC. Rioters breached the fences surrounding the White House and tussled over the last fence barrier.”
The Hill reported, “Barricades have fallen to the west of the White House and the crowd is surging forward, once again coming face-to-face with Secret Service who’ve moved into formation and raised their riot shields” Yahoo! News reported, “The demonstrations led to dramatic clashes involving fists, shields and tear gas against the backdrop of Trump’s official residence.” As Trump’s home, the White House itself, looked next to be breached, “Secret Service agents rushed President Donald Trump to a White House bunker” (“Remembering Trump’s Bout with Deadly Force at his Home 4 Years Ago,” June 12, 2024, LibertyUnderFire.org).
Number 1, Trump's Assassination Attempt in Las Vegas, Nevada Rally, June 18, 2016. The first assassination attempt on Donald Trump occurred while a candidate for president by a most unlikely foreign assassin, a resident of Dorking, Surrey, United Kingdom overstaying his VISA. Michael Steven Sandford, age 20, spent a year and a half in New Jersey before traveling to California then Las Vegas, where he attended a Trump rally at the Mystery Theater in the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino. He was arrested after trying to grab an officer’s gun from her holster. He had lingered near the officer, telling her he wanted Mr. Trump’s autograph. In an interview after his arrest, Mr. Sandford told the authorities that he “made a conscious effort to come to Las Vegas to kill Trump,” and that he had been “planning to attempt to kill Trump for about a year.” He also said, “He expected to be killed by law enforcement personnel during his attempt on Mr. Trump’s life. (Man Arrested at Rally tells Authorities ‘He’ Wanted to Kill Donald Trump, New York Times, Nick Corasaniti, June 20, 2016). Sandford, charged with being an illegal alien in possession of a firearm, was ultimately sentenced to 12 months and one day in prison, then when served, deported back to the United Kingdom.
As a candidate for, or president, Trump’s life has been threatened six times from June 18, 2016 through April 26, 2026, a span of ten years; five as former or present president of the United States.
