The long promised Kennedy Files were finally released by President Trump in March 2025. These files prove the existence of the Deep State in 1963 powerful enough by then, over years of development and secrecy, to kill the president of the United States and keep that fact from being revealed for 62 years, until all responsible for his death were unpunished and safely dead. These newly released files also prove that Lee Harvey Oswald was in fact a CIA asset, recruited, trained, and groomed by the CIA in Japan while he was in the service at the Naval Air Facility Atsugi in the late 1950’s. (See “John F. Kennedy Assassination Files Revealed, A State Within a State,” LibertyUnderFire.com, March 26, 2025).
The difference between previous presidents and Barack Obama is that they were strongly influenced by the Deep State, Obama is the Deep State. The CIA was his organization for 12 years. He likes to remain in the background, as with Joe Biden, but clearly no one is more Deep State than he.
President Trump released 2,800 CIA secret documents known to exist but had been kept from the people and Congress for 62 years, even through several JFK assassination investigations. That makes the CIA an accomplice to the crime. All post Kennedy presidents knew of the existence of these files especially Gerald Ford, a member of Johnson’s Warren Commission, and George Herbert W. Bush, a past CIA director, but only Trump, despite enormous opposition, allowed them declassified. Both Kennedy and Trump fought their Deep State’s and worked to expose them and both took a bullet to the head for doing so (“UNBELIEVABLY Most Presses Missed the Most Important JFK Assassination File Finding, ” LibertyUnderFire.com, April 2, 2025).
The CIA also tried to remove yet another sitting president, Trump, in 2019, this time with a coup manufactured by it to impeach the sitting president making him ineligible for a second term. We know now this too was a CIA opt. The point man was “CIA Analyst Eric Ciaramella, the anonymous CIA ‘whistleblower’ [who] worked with Joe Biden on Ukraine policy. Biden appointed DHS Nina Jankowicz worked inside Zelenskyy’s campaign HQ. The coup was “triggered when a member of the National Security Council named Alexander Vindman coordinated with a member of the CIA National Intelligence Council named Eric Ciaramella to fabricate a false claim that President Trump leveraged his power and authority to demand Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy release information on Joe and Hunter Biden’s corrupt financial dealings in Ukraine….Two years prior to the 2019 impeachment construct, in January 2017, the same CIA analyst, Eric Ciaramella, had worked on the fraudulent Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) at the behest of CIA Director John Brennan. Outlining Ciaramella’s activity not only hits CIA Director John Brennan and former DNI James Clapper, but it also hits former President Barack Obama.” ALL KNOWINGLY participated in the coup.
“Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson independently changed the ICIG rules permitting Ciaramella to remain anonymous and make an ‘urgent concern’ claim that ultimately led to an impeachment effort.” So “Eric Ciaramella fabricated intelligence information. ICIG Atkinson shared it with Congress and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI). Representatives of HPSCI Chairman Adam Schiff met with Ciaramella and assisted him during the construct.
The most important message in the Kennedy Files, and the reason Trump needed them out, was that Kennedy too had to deal with a secret combination within his government now called the Deep State. A government within the government, the CIA, powerful enough to kill the president and to suppress 2,800 CIA secret documents from the people and Congress for 62 years, even through several JFK assassination investigations, an entity very much still in existence. They prefer to control without being known,
“From all appearances, IC IG Atkinson was organizing the operation in advance. CIA analyst Eric Ciaramella provided the story. With Adam Schiff prepared to receive the complaint, and Mary McCord prepared to weaponize the complaint, collectively they ran the operation to impeach a sitting President on an entirely fraudulent basis.” The coup used all three branches of government. The CIA represented the Executive, “tried to impeach President Donald Trump; the aggregate Intelligence Community was there to assist. The Legislative was represented “by the the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) and HJC, Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler were prepared to organize the impeachment construct. Mary McCord working as staff.” And the Judicial, “Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts would not let Eric Ciaramella’s name be spoken at trial. Mary McCord’s husband, Sheldon Snook, was working for John Roberts at the time. This was a coordinated impeachment effort across all three branches of government” (“The CIA Tried to Remove a Sitting President,” The Last Refuge, April 15, 2026).
The new Trump appointed CIA Director John Ratcliffe was involved in the release of the Kennedy Files and the above conclusions especially the CIA’s active role in the assassination of John F. Kennedy and began immediately to make certain that could never happen again. Since, he has “done more house cleaning at Langley than anyone in decades.” He immediately “extended the government-wide deferred resignation buyout program to the entire CIA workforce. The first time any intelligence agency had done this. The pitch was blunt: take the deal and walk, or get on board with the new mission—51 DEI related officers were targeted for termination. The plan is to shrink the CIA by roughly 1200 positions over Trump's term, partly through early retirement, partly through reducing hiring, and partly through straight firings.” (Ratcliff’s Purge of the CIA , X22 Report, Ep. 3934b, June 24, 2026, 52:23). Commendable efforts yes, but shouldn’t we be considering abolishing the rouge Deep State institution entirely?
The documents are finally in and conclusive. There is no other side in either Kennedy’s or Trump’s cases. Silence is not a counter argument. Ignoring the evidence as though it never happened does not change that it did happen. Neither is contested—just silenced. In any just court of law in any other time in American history prior to 63 year ago, participants would be incarcerated or executed for treason. All who participated in Kennedy’s assassination and covered it up and those since who tried to remove Trump, a sitting president, through an Impeachment Fraud Coup denying him a consecutive term in office; these include: now former presidents Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and candidate for, Hillary Clinton, and Intel Committee leaders John Brennan, James Clapper, and James Comey and many more. At least two-thirds of Americans know this statement to be true. The others are either willfully blind or also know it to be true but do not care. This is where America is at it’s 250th celebration July 2026. There remains no justice for either. The CIA was knee-deep in both the assassination and the coup. The heavens weep and patriots, alive or long deceased, cry out for justice. It has to come.

Last week’s column concluded that COVID-19 united Putin and Xi against America’s Deep State responsible for the disease as Russia was directly threatened by it and them, and China was blamed for the disease. That documents just declassified by Gabbard’s DNI disclosed it came from American built and financed bio labs in Ukraine. Consequently both Russia and China are supportive of Trump’s exposing and removing the Deep State in America and from the world—strange bedfellows, but allies against the Deep State nonetheless (“COVID Truth Six Years Later may have made Russia and China Allies Again,” LibertyUnderFire.org, June 24, 2026).
Trump said at the June 15-17, 2026 G-7 Summit, “I want to thank China, President Xi. I was with him, and he stayed neutral, and I appreciate it. And I want to thank Vladimir Putin. He was very neutral. They could have made it much more difficult for us. You know, they have shoulder weapons to knock down airplanes… I said, I would really appreciate it if you're not giving or selling any of that to Iran. And you know what, for the most part, they didn't. So I just want to thank them because they made it a lot better” Both have always opposed the New World Order. It also threatens them.
We have sensed common ground with Russia in particular over Ukraine for some time. If Mexico had bio labs doing gain-of-function research on killer diseases on America’s border with them, potentially endangering American lives, the United States would demand their removal (which Russia did through the UN) and if they refused would have removed the labs ourselves. Trump fully expected to have the Russia-Ukraine War ended before retaking office. Within months of his reelection he did resolve 8 international wars between other countries. It became blatantly obvious that the obstacle to ending this war was not Russia but Ukraine backed by President Joe Biden and the European Union. The war would have ended two years ago if these sincerely wanted peace. The Deep State alone benefit from a future World War III as it would hide a multitude of their “crimes against humanity” sins and destroy both Russia and America.
Just this past week Ukraine attacked Moscow, desperate to enlarge their conflict with Russia bringing in the European Union, NATO, and the United States once Democrats returned to power. Ukraine launched one of the largest drone attacks on Moscow oil refineries, the second time in three days ('Pure hell' in Moscow as Ukrainian drones strike major refinery supplying capital's fuel market, by Efrat Lachter, Fox News, June 18, 2026). Do Ukraine and the EU want a peace deal? Absolutely not!! Ukraine has a history as a Deep State country since 2014 in common with Iran since 1979, and Venezuela since Caesar Chavez. Trump is now returning to Ukraine to resolve the damage America’s Deep State did to the Ukrainians when they made their nation a colony for Deep State purposes such as gain of function bio labs and laundered money.
The Deep State has been around for well over a hundred years known originally and successively as Internationalists, the eastern establishment, the establishment, globalists, the new world order, world order, and the Great Reset under Klaus Schwab, and today the Deep State. They have always advocated world government. LibertyUnderFire.org has argued for many years that neither Russia nor China wanted to be governed by either the European (the Royal Institute of International Affairs in England, RIIA) or American (the Council on Foreign Relations, CFR) both branches of the same entity and both publicly created in 1921. The first came to dominate all Europe through THEIR created European Union and the second to dominate both major political parties in the United States through THEIR Council on Foreign Relations, both today known as the Deep State. Yes, the Soviet Union and China once sought world dominion under communism, but neither wanted to be ruled by America’s or Europe’s Deep State.
Regarding Iran, Trump said at the June 15-17, 2026 G-7 Summit, “I want to thank China, President Xi. I was with him, and he stayed neutral, and I appreciate it. And I want to thank Vladimir Putin. He was very neutral. They could have made it much more difficult for us. You know, they have shoulder weapons to knock down airplanes… I said, I would really appreciate it if you're not giving or selling any of that to Iran. And you know what, for the most part, they didn't. So I just want to thank them because they made it a lot better” (X22 Report, Ep. 3930b, June 18, 2026, 37:55). Both have always opposed the New World Order. It also threatens them.
What if Trump, knowing that the world was very close to falling into total control of the Deep State, felt he had to seek allies among other world powers, even former enemies, that understood the danger and were also threatened by the Deep State—even China and Russia? Europe during World War II aligned with us on freedom issues but now, as the European Union, are at variance with us on these same issues and is under Deep State dominance.
The two most influential political centers in the world are the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London, England and the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City, USA, both formally organized in 1921 and are shadow governments; Chatham House for Europe and the CFR for America. Both work for world government and are today what is called the Deep State. Neither Putin nor Xi want to be ruled by either, thus they support Trumps efforts to remove them worldwide.
China got cheap oil from Venezuela and Iran and was Iran’s major arms supplier. China has no reason to be neutral. Trump has to be using back channels with both Putin and XI in the loop, with agreements in place before he bombed that they would remain neutral. The common enemy theory is the only explanation. Putin wears a cross around his neck as an orthodox Christian and can clearly see that the muslim doctrine is the only religion acceptable in the New World Order.
In this case neutrality is a very strong position of support. There was zero opposition to what Trump was doing to Iran from either country. Such silence never happened in past crises. Speaking of America’s attack on Iran, Xi said, “Currently transformation, [we’ve] not seen in a country is accelerating across the globe and the international situation is fluid and turbulent. The world has come to a new crossroads.” We think he was suggesting that the Deep State control in world affairs is diminishing because of Trump. He also said, “Both China and the U.S. stand to gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation. Our two countries should be partners rather than rivals (Disclose tv, as quoted by X22 Report, Ep. 3905b, May 14, 2026, 19:54).
What if Trump created a group of nationalist leaders from around the world who agreed to temporarily unite against a common enemy – the globalist Deep State? These in the same areas already controlled by the Deep State, to help the countries surrounding them overcome that control. In the Middle East the Abraham Accords is working together to harness Deep State Iran and its Deep State terrorist armies ISIS, Hezbollah, Hamas, Al-Qaeda, the Islamic State, and the Houthis. And in America Trump’s Shield of the Americas to undo Deep State influence over the cartels, child, human and drug trafficking, all centered in Venezuela but wrecking havoc in all Latin America countries. Isn’t this Trump’s 2026 National Strategy for Counterterrorism?

The Department of National Intelligence (DNI) pours out evidence on COVID after six years of lies covering many facets of the world pandemic. On June 13, 2026 they published, “Truth: dangerous gain-of-function research was funded by the U.S. government around the world, directed and approved by people like Dr. Fauci.” DNI Gabbard exposed this by, “using U.S. government data, put together and uncovered by career subject matter experts in the intelligence community and other government agencies.” The release, “highlighted an example of the many overseas bio labs funded by the US, the research conducted there, and the significant risks they pose to the world, especially when located in a country at war. (Office of the DNI, Tulsi Gabbard, dnigov/files/BIOLABS…).
A map showing the locations of bio labs in Ukraine as published by the Office of U.S. Directer of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, June, 12, 2026. The map shows their biosafety levels and their research type, human or animal. Russia insisted these were on or near their border with Ukraine posing a major threat to Russia and her people and demanded their removal. America, under Biden, and Ukraine denied their existence. Turns out Russia was right.
After that bombshell finding, related conclusion drops were presented in four DNI slides. Slide 1: “A draft President’s Daily Brief, written after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, details threats to Ukraine labs due to dangerous pathogen storage. Biden officials confirmed this on the record. The bio labs in Ukraine and other countries held and may continue to hold pathogens. They were built and funded by the US and we seek essential funding as powerful people and interest want to keep flowing.” (Office of the DNI, X22 Reports Ep 3926b, June 14, 2026, 44:10–46:24).
This was followed by slides two through four. Slide 2: “A map created by the ODNI [Office of the Director of National Intelligence] using US government data to show lab locations, bio safety levels of each location, the type of research being conducted, and if biological weapons were being stored.” Office of the DNI. Slide 3: “A list of labs and data pulled from US Embassy in Ukraine website that shows US government funding, the contracting company used, and whether or not the lab had a permit for especially dangerous pathogens.” Finally, Office of the DNI. Slide 4: “Data compiled from open source information that was collaborated with US government information, including US Embassy in Ukraine data, showing connections to the defense industry and research project data on U.S. funded highly pathogenic Avian Flu, and other highly infectious viruses in bio containment labs in Ukraine.”
In short, “The existence, history, locations of these U.S. funded bio labs was intentionally covered up by powerful people falsely claiming that the labs do not exist and accusing anyone who says otherwise to be foreign assets and traitors to America. Those lies are still being propagated today by the same powerful people and their allies who wished to see this dangerous research continue with little to know oversight.”
Tulsi Gabbard concludes, “POTUS rightly took action over a year ago to put a stop to U.S. funding of gain-of-function research to protect the American people and people all around the world.” Gain-of-function is lawful when applied to plants and animals but not when applied to humans. She promises that the “ODNI will continue to work closely with partners across the US government to identify where these dangerous bio labs are located across the world. What pathogens they contain, and to end dangerous gain-of-function research.” (Ibid.). These are not new findings LibertyUnderFire.org, reported March 11, 2022, “Are US-run Bioweapon Labs in Ukraine as Russia Says?” Yes, but Deep State media smothered what was then known.
Why is Tusi Gabbard’s DNI the most credible DNI ever. Because she was a life-long Democrat, had served as a Democrat congresswoman from Hawaii from 2013 to 2021. In February 2019, she officially launched her 2020 presidential campaign intending an eventual run against Trump. Her honesty and integrity is not party based. Trump knew this and placed her, as Director of National Intelligence, a position that could have backfired against him had she no integrity.
After six years what has been proved by Tulsi Gabbard’s DNI? COVID was manmade, worse, American government made and taxpayer funded in Ukraine, a country heavily influenced by Americas’ Deep State in 2014 and since. Gain-of-function research was prohibited in the United States so creating COVID was exported mostly to Ukraine where there would be no oversight. Biden knew of the labs, their origins and taxpayer financing and of their danger to the world. We know this from his daily briefs written after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and intentionally covered everything up. Also that this operation was “directed and approved by people like Dr. Fauci.” Those responsible for COVID all lied to the American people. Finally, the forces that created the labs deny the above conclusions and want these labs and research to continue.
Why is Tusi Gabbard’s DNI the most credible DNI ever. Because she was a life-long Democrat, had served as a Democrat congresswoman from Hawaii from 2013 to 2021. In February 2019, she officially launched her 2020 presidential campaign intending an eventual run against Trump. Her honesty and integrity is not party based. She gained nothing from telling America what the classified documents disclosed, that America built and funded 40 bio labs in Ukraine and lied about their existence to the American people for years.
What is likely also correct? COVID was taken from Ukraine to China without their knowledge and released from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (also funded by USAID) so China could be blamed as first deaths occurred there. China was right when she insisted in 2020 that COVID came from America. Russia had cause to invade Ukraine, as Putin insisted, as at least 13 of these bio labs were placed on his border threatening his people. He insisted they be removed.
COVID united Putin and Xi against America’s Deep State responsible for the disease as Russia was directly threatened by them and it, and China was blamed for it. Trump was the single greatest threat to the Deep State’s continued rule in both political parities in America since John F. Kennedy. The Kennedy files revealed “a government within a government” and the CIA the single most important instrument in the Kennedy assassination. Trump, like Kennedy, became its major target. The Deep State created the Russia hoax, impeached Trump twice, and rigged the 2020 presidential election, principally by use of fraudulent mail-in ballots, to get rid of him. Thereafter, when he chose to run again, after their coup to unseat him, they unloaded multiple indictments, judicial tyranny, and ongoing assassination attempts. Trump became the president they could not remove or kill. MAGA grows as people allow themselves to awaken.
Consequently both Russia and China are supportive of Trump’s exposing and removing the Deep State in America and from the world—strange bedfellows, but allies against the Deep State.

Help preserve our Republic while we still can by sharing this column.
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.
