Every major study of the 2020 Presidential Election shows it was rigged, was influenced by Dominion or Smartmatic voting machines, these originating from Venezuela, and was used world wide in elections during Nicholas Maduro’s reign. Maduro is the common denominator for it all. This is likely the main reason Trump went after Venezuela and had Maduro kidnapped. He is the star witness. He witnessed all of it.
Maduro photos after his kidnaping show him smilng, friendly and conversant with his captures—certainly atypical for someone living through the death of dozens around him in the assault on his home and the kidnapping also of his wife. Hand and finger gestures appear intentional, one with a peace sign, two with thumbs up (as shown above) and a third can’t be identified with common meaning. One has to wonder if he objected to his kidnapping. He looks almost freed. Perhaps his real captors were the Deep State, the cartels and his Cuban guards. Very strange.
The Deep State media treated these as conspiracies. I have said for many years a conspiracy theory that lasts more than five years is no longer a conspiracy nor likely a theory —this, assuming a free press. Still, today it is very difficult to get the other side, or sides. Everything is normally opposite what is given in their presses or computer domains, which comprise at least 85% of what is published—largely because they have the means and organization to publish.
We also know that Venezuela was the Deep State’s capital of South America and played a major role in the invasion of the United States. Biden even requested Maduro empty his gangs, prisons and insane asylums into the U.S. Thus technically Venezuela invaded the United States first. When a reporter asked Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, “Would you welcome a US military intervention in Venezuela?” She responded, “Venezuela has been invaded. We have the Russian agents. We have the Iranian agents. We have terrorists groups such as Hezbollah, [and] Hamas operating freely in accordance with the regime.” After telling us how invaded they already were, Machado added, “We will turn Venezuela into the energy, technological, and democracy hub of the Americas. We will host all of you in a bright, democratic, and free country, and it’s going to be soon” (X22 Report, hear after not cited, Ep. 3793b, Dec. 11, 2025, 41:50).
There is no question Venezuela and Maduro had become a strategic impairment for the U.S. It had become a Latin American crossroads for all USA principle enemies. Maduro was nurturing relationships with Russia, Hesbollah, Iran and Communist China. All of which challenged the sacrosanct 203 year-old Monroe Doctrine that any intervention in the political affairs of the Americas by foreign powers is potentially a hostile act against the United States. Even Communist China imported at least 24,000 military-aged men in nine months during the invasion, traveling from China to Venezuela to Columbia then through seven Central American countries finally into the United States (“China is Invading America Without Firing a Shot. Biden Lets Them!!, LibertyUnderFire.org, Jan. 3, 2023). Venezuela was central to the invasion.
President Biden’s $25 million reward for bringing in Nicholas Maduro.
Both Deep State presidents Obama and Biden said they viewed Maduro as a national threat. In 2015 Obama “issued an executive order declaring Venezuela’s president a national security threat and the government a narco terrorist organization.” The Trump administration (first term) escalated actions against Maduro using Obama’s 2015 Executive Order as a foundation, adding Trump’s 2020 indictment of him. In addition he placed a $15 million bounty on him. President Biden expounded sanctions on him in 2022 and increased the then $15 million bounty on Maduro to $25 million in 2022. “25 million for anyone who can deliver Maduro to America.” He knew no one would. Both Russia and China supported Maduro’s injecting America with drugs (Ep. 3811b, Jan. 5, 2026, 17:23). Trump executed the order of Obama and Biden. He used what they put in place to actually bring Maduro to the United States, just what his predecessors started.
We know because under Barack Obama, “Nicholas Maduro’s nephews were arrested with nearly 2000 pounds of cocaine and sentenced to 18 years in federal prison.” Despite Maduro’s facing an active US arrest warrant, that Biden increased by $10 million over narcotics charges, “Joe Biden commuted their sentences using his pardon power” (“Biden Freed Maduro’s Narco nephews After Obama Jailed them” AMUSE Jan. 5, 2026). Remember Biden’s son Hunter used and stored cocaine in the White House.
One of the many questions emerging from Operation Absolute Resolve is why Maduro guardians were foreigners not Venezuelans —32 Communist Cubans. It is supposed that he did not trust his own countrymen to protect him as he was so hated, or someone wished to keep an eye on him. Several mysterious photos of him arriving in New York have him extending both thumbs and grinning or making what appears to be other “glad finger” gestures. His wife appeared notably dismayed. Why did we bring her unless, he requested it? Deep State sources suggest these gestures are AI generated but they do not share why they “know” this and these are the same sources that have been wrong on everything else. Most sources, that show the pictures, say nothing but have been previously reliable.
Nicholas Maduro is not the first dictator kidnapped by the U.S government. In Dec. 1989 President George Herbert Walker Bush kidnapped the Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega—also for importing drugs into the U.S. He was convicted and sentenced to 40 years in a federal prison in Georgia. He was release from prison 2007 then extradited to France where he served another 7 years for money laundering then to Panama for human rights violations. He died in 2017 at the age of 83.
We know Maduro was hated by most Venezuelans. We know he was controlled by the cartels and the Deep State. We know Trump and Maduro had prior communications— even two days before the raid. Since I have taught current events long before President George Herbert Walker Bush kidnapped the Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega—also for importing drugs into the U.S.—and he was convicted and served his sentence in Georgia, let me share a wild hunch. It follows: What if Maduro came to hate the Deep State and no longer supported what they were doing in and to Venezuela? What if he feared both sides would kill him, his people or the cartels?
What if he chose to leverage what he knew to turn states’ evidence? He could bid for a nice prison with his wife, that may be why she came. He knows Trump is not Deep State. He knows Trump is destroying the Deep State worldwide. What he knows is of high value in doing just that. He trusts Trump. There is no safe place in Venezuela in or out of prison. He could sing like a bird, and if I am right, he will. He could testify against Barack Obama and Joe Biden, how the machines from his country installed them both and the part they and George Soros played in financing the invasion, even how Biden virtually begged him to send his gangs and criminals to the US. All of it! Is this why his first message in the U.S. was to hold both thumbs up? May be.

All three of the above know that the Deep State is real, is embedded to some extent in every country, seeks to destroy liberty wherever it exists, and to eventually control the planet. Zelenskyy was installed into office by it. Trump was opposed by it more than any other and was the first elected president, besides John F. Kennedy, to openly stand against it at all odds—even risking life in prison or assassination. Putin’s 22 year reign too was threatened by it. In a color revolution the Deep State assimilated Ukraine located next door to Russia, constructed 13 bio labs therein on its Russian border, each capable of releasing, by accident or intent, a killer pandemic on the Russian population, and threatened making Ukraine a NATO member thereby placing a formerly hostile military organization directly on Russia’s border. Putin is an enemy of the Deep State as much as Trump. We have the right people dealing with Deep State Ukraine. Both Trump and Putin know the real enemy to the world and can’t be misdirected, bribed, or intimidated from removing it’s grip on the world.
Trump is criticized for not dumping more billions into the Ukraine conflict—a war that would never have begun had Trump been recognized as the legitimate winner of the 2020 presidential election. A war that would never have begun had the Obama administration not fostered a color revolution in Ukraine bringing the Deep State into power in that country in 2014—it became an American Deep State country. A war that would never have begun had Ukraine not allowed the construction of 13 bio-labs on the border of Russia threatening them with the potential of a killer pandemic. LibertyUnderfire.org has published much on stories dealing with Ukraine.
The Deep State still controls the news in the United States, so on any given issue the reader, is not likely to get more than half the news on any subjects they are sensitive to. Here are some stories they portray very differently. It’s not Russia that is derailing the peace talks in Ukraine. The EU, NATO, and Ukraine are countering everything in Trump’s Peace Plan. They want to keep Russia as the enemy and “boogie man” forever. They want World War III to obliterate their crimes. Left to themselves without U.S. weapons and EU or NATO involvement they have no chance of winning—actually they lost years ago. If Ukraine, EU, NATO really wanted peace they would have come to the table long ago. Instead, their actions demonstrate they want world war (X22 Report, not cited hereafter, Ep. 3780b, Nov. 23, 2025, 2:30).
Zelenskyy has 30,000 political prisoners locked up. No elections either. He’s a king a dictator. (Ep. 3788b, Dec. 3, 45:56). He has the support of only about 20% of the people. The past Fall 100,000 Ukrainian military-aged men fled. They know they are fodder in a war they can not win. Meanwhile, “NATO allies pledge over $1 Billion for purchase of US arms for Ukraine,” (By Martin Fornusek, THE KYIV INDEPENDENT, Dec. 3, 2025). They do not want a real peace plan (Ep. 3789b, Dec. 4, 2025, 37:36). They are building for war.
Ukraine has become the aggressor in that war continuing missiles drone attacks hundreds of miles into Russia. Deep State news outlets cover only Russian attacks on Ukraine not Ukraine attacks provoking Russian retaliatory strikes. Russian President Putin says, “Europe’s only goal is to prevent US President Trump from achieving peace through negotiations” (Ep. 3787b, Dec. 2, 31:48). Even the Nord Stream pipeline explosions was to bring Russia to war some say with Biden approval. Putin does not want war and is trying NOT to let the EU provoke him to one.
Meanwhile the European Union is becoming decidedly more tyrannical. Press and speech freedoms have been removed in the United Kingdom and EU. “The British government decided to smuggle 40 K Afghans into the country. Neither the media nor members of Parliament were allowed to ever report, they were being gagged, much less report on the government decision to bring tens of thousands of Islamic migrants secretly into the country at a cost of $9 billion.” It was called “Operation Rubific.” (Ep, 3791b, Dec. 8,2025, 27:25). They succeeded!
The European Union, a merger of 27 formerly independent countries, created by the Maastricht Treaty, came into effect on November 1, 1993. It opened its borders to Islamic countries who consequently poured in without vetting. Crime escalated, “At LEAST 400,000 children, women and men have been killed or raped by non-– European migrants and refugees since 2010. It’s a genocide of ethnic Europeans, sponsored by the EU and those who support it.” Elon Musk, who posted this information, adds, “when does it become a genocide?” X (Daily Romania, Ep, 3791b, Dec. 8,2025, 31:49).
Hungry, a EU member, refused to assimilate and was “fined half a billion for not letting migrants in, for not following the EU’s migration rules and the meters are still running, at about 1 million a day.” A member country makes a decision the EU doesn’t like and suddenly unelected judges are draining their national budget. “This is what happens when a union turns into a rule by law machine.” An unelected body is now flexing their muscles saying to every single country in the EU, ‘You do not have sovereignty. You must do exactly what you are told or else.’” (Mario Nawfal, Daily Romania, Ep, 3791b, Dec. 8, 2025, 33:25).
With the EU’s decree Hungry’s Prime Minister Victor Orban responded, “With today’s decision, Brussels is attempting to force Hungry to pay even more or take immigrants in. This is unacceptable. Hungry already spends enough to protect the unions exterior border. We will not take a single migrant in, and we will not pay for other migrants. Hungry will not implement the measures of the migrant past.” (Mario Nawfal, Ep. 3792b, Dec. 9, 27:05).
Trump is criticized for not supporting NATO, created after World War II to confront the Soviet Union and communist expansion, but this was when the West was still modeling the republic form of government—the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights—very different from the authoritarian forms of government emerging in the present. We united then under the banner of liberty, today we are asked to support tyranny as expressed by the EU and Zelenskyy and NATO their tool to protect tyranny. Why should Trump feel compelled now to protect tyranny?
Meanwhile in true Deep State modus operandi NATO [the new aggressors] call for defense [aggression] against Russia, NATO’s Mark Rutte “warns allies they are Russia’s next target, [thus] must step up defense efforts to prevent a war waged by Russia, that could be ‘on the scale of war, our grandparents and great grandparents endured’” (France 224’s Dave Keating Reports, 11/12//2025, Ep. 3794b, Dec. 12, 37:44).
Trump realizing that NATO, the EU, and Ukraine — all Deep State organizations or governments—hell-bent to force World War III on the world to cover their crimes released his own warning to them, “If everybody keeps playing games like this, you’ll end up in a Third World War” (Ep. 3794b, Dec. 12, 38:07). Trump remains for peace.

The term “Deep State” describes the network of unelected U.S. government officials, intelligence agencies (e.g., CIA), and entrenched bureaucrats who operate behind the scenes to influence or undermine policy, particularly today under Donald Trump, but many decades old under other names. In relation to Venezuela, Nicholas Maduro’s regime is portrayed as a Deep State proxy or “asset” enabling threats to U.S. interests. U.S. conservatives (e.g., MAGA) frame Venezuela as a hub for narco-terrorism, cartels, and foreign adversaries like Iran and China. Human sex trafficking long known but with children horrifyingly becoming common. Knowledge of it is largely blocked by what has been dubbed the “Worldwide Pedophile Pervert Mafia.”
The rightful winner of the July 28, 2025 Venezuelan presidential election with estimated 67% of the vote was Maria Corina Machdo. Long-termed dictator, Nicolas Maduro, with 30% refused to relinquish power. She was briefly arrested by him then released. The Free World stands with her. She “thanked the citizens who took to the streets to claim our victory on July 28th and to OWN IT!” She also was recently awarded the Nobel Peace Prize but feared being present to receive it. She has mostly been in hiding for her life since her victory.
Venezuela under Maduro is a “Deep State asset” from the Obama era, allegedly offshoring U.S. secrets, enabling election fraud technology via Smartmatic, created in Venezuela, to be used in several countries and in 2020 in U.S. elections installing Joe Biden. Ex-CIA Gary Berntsen and defector Hugo Carvajal (narco-trafficking guilty plea, June 2025) pushed election fraud by Smartmatic from Venezuela to Trump. Then Gen. Michael Flynn warned of Deep State false flags to drag the U.S. into ‘Vietnam 2.0’ thus urged regime change to curb China’s hemispheric influence (e.g., via Cuban/Mexican proxies)” (Infowars, Dec.2025). Regime change through an honest and verifiable election (not that of 2024 lost by Maduro who reinstalled himself anyway), is seen as essential to dismantle this network, aligning with “America First” goals like border security and countering foreign influence.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio called Maduro’s regime an “illegitimate transshipment organization” for cocaine (9% of U.S. supply) and a base for the Cartel de los Soles (designated as a foreign terrorist organization, FTO, on November 24, 2025). Strikes target Tren de Aragua gang drug vessels in international waters, heading for the United States, linked to Maduro, amid a refugee crisis (8 million plus people displaced). Critics like ex-intel asset Patrick Byrne claim Venezuela’s attack on the U.S. includes narco-trafficking and election meddling (Fox News Marco Rubio interview, December 3, 2025).
Rubio stated Venezuela is the “anchor” for Iran’s IRGC and Hezbollah now operating from inside Venezuela, and serves as a foothold for our adversaries (Iran, China, Russia) enabling their terrorism, drone manufacturing, and financial networks to add to the Venezuela arsenal.. This ties to broader Deep State fears of Obama-era deals “offshoring” threats.
As of December 9, 2025, tensions peak with U.S. naval buildup (e.g., USS Gerald R. Ford in Caribbean) and “Southern Spear” targeting narco-infrastructure. Rubio, a board member of the International Republican Institute leads this as a “Monroe Doctrine” blow against global threats. Trump allies like General Flynn advocate forcing Maduro’s flight for free elections. MAGA voices view Venezuela as a Deep State “cancer” requiring excision by its own people, not by the CIA as per pre Trump. American ships in the harbor are to encourage Maduro, who lost his recent election, to leave, the Venezuelans to insist he does, and the U.S. to demonstrate that we have the strength to eliminate his cartels at will. Trump wants the cartels afraid of us.
One other point needs emphasized. Narco boats lack any evidence of fishing. They also routinely lack a flag. “A vessel in international waters is required, under UNCOLS, to sail under the flag of a specific nation. If it doesn’t, it is legally considered a stateless vessel. A stateless vessel has no right of protection, normally afforded to ships under a national flag…including immunity from interference by others states (UNCLOS Articles 92, 94, 110 and customary Maritime law). A state may stop, board, search, seize or disable a stateless vessel under UNCLOS Article 110…. War crimes require an armed conflict.” There is none. You cannot commit a war crime outside an armed conflict.
This boat and it’s drug contents was vaporized in international waters off the coast of Venezuela on its way to America. Now its cocaine contents will not kill any of our youth. Blowing up theses vessels and poison contents make its street value much higher thus fewer persons will be able to purchase reducing the number poisoned by it. Narco boats routinely lack a flag which is required. “War crimes require an armed conflict between nations.” There is none. Lethal force is lawful “when a vessel …attempts to flee, poses a threat, or engages in an illicit activity such as piracy, or narcotic trafficking. Trump has not violated international law or maritime practice.
Also, “Even lethal force is lawful when a vessel refuses lawful boarding, attempts to flee, poses a threat or engages in an illicit activity such as piracy, or narcotic trafficking…. Sinking a stateless vessel is not prohibited by UNCLUS…. Many states routinely do this to drug smuggling vessels without it ever being treated as a war crime….” (X22 Reports, hereafter not cited, Ep. 3791b, Dec. 8, 2025, 36:19). Flagless boats sunk in international waters outside Venezuela, by order of Trump, are not Venezuelan boats, they are stateless boats. Trump has not violated international law or maritime practice.
Ex-Maduro Intelligence Chief, turned whistleblower, says Maduro exported gangs into the United States during the Biden’s border collapse, “and has run two decades of espionage against America.” Hugo ‘Elpollo’ Carvajal “warns that Maduro’s regime is not a government, but a transnational criminal cartel. He reveals Trend de Agua operatives were sent into the US during Biden’s border breakdown. He says the regime treats narcotics as a strategic weapon against Americans and insists Trump was correct to confront Maduro.” (AMUSE, Ep. 3789b, Dec. 4, 2025, 24:36). Moreover, he “exposed that the CIA allegedly out sources it’s election, rigging software and voting machines [Smartmatic] to multiple countries, including the US, from Venezuela” (The SCIF, Ep. 3789b, Dec. 4, 2025, 25:33).
Intel tells us Venezuela is run by the drug cartels, not really Maduro. Rumor has it that Maduro may yet turn states evidence by“releasing PROOF that Biden asked the Venezuelan government to ship Trend de Aragua drug gangs into the United States” (Tik Tok, Ep. 3787b, Dec. 2, 2025, 24:36). If that comes forth, Biden may have to stand trial for treason. It’s conceivable, but a very long shot, that Maduro may authorize Trump to bomb Venezuelan cartel’s. And certainly, if asked, we will oblige and, with permission, it would not be attacking Venezuela—still not likely!

I’m tired of getting half-truth stories from Deep State press outlets. Sometimes out of country sources feel more credible. The accused National Guard’s assassin Rahmanullah Lakanwal, was not just “linked” to the CIA, he worked for them full-time for at least eight years, joining them at age 15, and may be influenced still at 29. Sources agree that he was with the US military and CIA-backed units as a Afghanistan national against the Taliban which returned to power with America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan August 2021, but it was more and needs emphasis.
Two National Guardsmen Beckstrom and Wolfe lay wounded on the sidewalk surrounded by police—Beckstrom fatally. The accused National Guard’s assassin Rahmanullah Lakanwal, was not just “linked” to the CIA, he worked for them full-time for at least eight years, joining them at age 15, and may be influenced by them still at 29.
The suspect was with “the Kandahar Strike Force or ’03’ unit, one of several ‘Zero Units’ that operated alongside U.S. and other foreign forces” during our 20 year war in Afghanistan. Those who helped America became the enemy of that state, the Taliban. “These units operated as Afghan intelligence and paramilitary forces, supporting US troops throughout the long campaign against the Taliban. Trained by American special operations personnel, they conducted high risk missions, including frequent night raids.” These killed other Afghans. The CIA was waist deep in all of it. These were seldom ethical. Nothing about the CIA is particularly ethical.
“Human Rights Watch (HRW) has accused the units of carrying out extrajudicial killings, indiscriminate airstrikes, and multiple violations of international humanitarian law during the 2010s. Known for their covert operations, the units were described by diplomats as ‘death squads,’ according to HRW. Both the CIA and the US government have rejected these allegations.” (“‘Death Squad’ : DC Shooter Rahmanullah Lakanwal is linked to Afghanistan’s elite ‘Zero Unit’- What is it,” TimesofIndia.com, Nov. 30, 2025). Of course they would, but such clandestine “missions” were common during and since the 1961 Cuban Bay of Pigs invasion fiasco and CIA 1962 involvement in the assassinations of the ruling Diem brothers in Vietnam.
On March 26, 2025, LibertyUnderFire published “Unbelievably Most Presses Missed the Most Important JFK Assassination File Finding,” President Trump had just released 2,800 CIA secret documents known to exist but kept from the people for 62 years by previous administrations and through several JFK investigations, until all involved were unpunished and safely dead. The documents showed the Deep State CIA heavily involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Have we forgotten Trump’s released documents just last Spring? We also published “John F. Kennedy Assassination Files Revealed, A State Within a State.” That being the CIA which is at the very heart of the Deep State that Trump is presently fighting to have revealed and removed.
Continuing with Rahmanullah Lakanwal the D.C. National Guard Shooter, “Lieutenant General Sami Sadat, former commanding general of the Afghan national special operations Corps, said that Lakanwal served in the ’03’ unit for eight years. A former senior Afghan general under the US-backed government added that the ’03’ unit, also known as the Kandahar Strike Force (KSF), ‘was under the special forces director of NDS. They were the most active and professional forces, trained and equipped by the CIA. All their operations were conducted under the CIA command.” Sadat said Lakanwal was part of the units operations team. “He was known for being responsible and professional within his team and had strong anti-Taliban views, Sadat was quoted as saying by CBS news.” Consequently, “Lakanwal’s family faced serious threats from the Taliban, prompting him to move them from their native Khost province to Kabul, Sadat said. In the US, Sadat noted, Lakanwal “was generally calm and maintained a clean record, though he suffered from PTSD.
“As a member of a Zero Unit, Lakanwal would have been virtually guaranteed asylum in the US, as members of these elite forces were prime targets for Taliban retaliation after the group regained control. Many of these unit members also played crucial roles in the August 2021 evacuation from Kabul, securing guaranteed spots on flights out of Afghanistan for themselves and their families” (“‘Death Squad’ : DC Shooter Rahmanullah Lakanwal is linked to Afghanistan’s elite ‘Zero Unit’- What is it.,” TimesofIndia.com, Nov. 30, 2025).
Beckstrom and Wolfe are encircled in blue as they collapse and CIA trained Lakanwal, in red taking their lives while shouting ‘Allah Akbar’. Was this the “bloody incident” forecast by formerly CIA, now video producer and US Senator, Slotkin “that was supposed to spiral out of control starting civil war” with the National Guard already in D.C.? Perhaps!
As the Deep State has been revealed as the major threat to our Republic throughout the Biden administration and now, it has sought to accomplish two events that would erase their crimes, civil war and World War III. We have documented their intent to do this for the last four years. Trump and Putin have come together on a peace plan for Ukraine, a country that was overthrown in 2014 by the CIA and became a deep state country then. Even this is now known. There will be no world war III as they hoped. The only thing they have left to do is civil war. What if killing the guardsmen could escalate to civil war? What if this is a CIA opt for that purpose?
Consider the following, Lakanwal is a trained CIA killer. A few days before he executed National Guard Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20, with reportedly two shots, one to her upper body another to her head, and shot Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, Senator Elissa Slotkin put out her video calling for insurrection. Coincidence!?! Slotkin, formerly employed by the CIA and lead instigator with her five fellow Democrat members of Congress of the “Refuse Illegal Orders” insurrection video calling upon all members of the military and intelligence community to refuse to obey what she called unlawful orders from the president.
She posted, “It’s only a matter of time before things get worse. By my estimation, we are about two weeks away from a bloody incident that spirals out of control.” (X22 Reports, Ep. 3784b, Nov. 28, 2025,30:49). Did she know this? Was this the bloody incident that was supposed to spiral out of control starting civil war with the National Guard already there? Was she letting us know they were taking this to the next level? That they would start firing on the National Guard? They want civil war! They want a shootout! Now suddenly Democrats like guns? This will fail because the rest of America have no intention of firing on the National Guard. They are us.
If unsuccessful the Deep State press will treat Lakanwal as a lone crazy gunman, and looser, like CIA trained Lee Harvey Oswald. Any other narrative, they will argue, is just conspiracy talk.

The following video is a montage featuring two U.S.Senators, out of 100, Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), and Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), and four House Representatives out of 435: Maggie Goodlander, Jason Crow (D-Colo.), Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.), and Chris Deluzio (D-PA). One was a former captain in the navy, another a former CIA officer, others former veterans. Imbedded on the 90 second video they created and throughout its play was inscribed. “WE WANT TO SPEAK DIRECTLY TO MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY AND THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY signed by Sen. Elissa Slotkin former CIA officer.” All six took turns reading the script.
“Refuse Illegal Orders” video’s lead proponent Senator Elissa Slokin, a former CIA officer, says, “You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution,” but who decides what is Constitutional? The Supreme Court does or what is lawful? Congress does by the rule of law established by legislation, tested by time, known to the people, and demonstrated to be just law. There exists no place for the military or the intel community or even the individual by himself. The Democrat video is a recipe for chaos, rebellion, and treason.
The video transcript follows with this phrase repeated, “We want to speak directly to members of the military and the intelligence community who take risks each day to keep Americans safe. We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now. Americans trust their military, but that trust is at risk. This administration is pitting our uniform military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens. Like us you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution.
Continuing, “Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. [Repeated twice by other voices of the group.] You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution. We know this is hard and that it’s a difficult time to be a public servant, but whether you’re serving in the CIA, the Army or Navy, the Air Force, your vigilance is critical, and know that we have your back because now, more than ever, the American people need you, need you to stand up for our laws, our Constitution and who we are as Americans. Don’t give up. (Repeated twice by different voices). Don’t give up the ship. (“Democrat lawmakers are now openly calling for insurrection.” Posted by Elizabeth Staufer, Legal Insurrection, November 19, 2025). Democrats have never been strict constructionist of the Constitution or as written.
Observe that the video is a call to action by six members of Congress (out of 535, House and Senate combined) targeting two groups of people for action, 1) the military and 2) the intelligence community—the CIA, in particular, which has no internal function. Also note the present intelligence community under President Trump is revealing the crimes of the past intel community led by John Brennon, James Clapper and James Comey—the same intel leaders presently indicted for the Russia Russia Hoax—their Constitutional loyalty already in question.
And the military presently does not operate on American soil via Posse Comitatus. ICE is not a military organization. Nor is it a threat to any AMERICAN CITIZEN as claimed by Deep State media. Yes, they are deporting non-citizens illegally invading. Notice also that they identify no law that is presently violated by President Trump or that is ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Nor can they! None exist! Conversely, the Supreme Court is ruling virtually every injunction made by Democrat district activist judges to be unconstitutional. These lack standing.
Still, their message had one big truth supported by MAGA. “Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear.” Yes our laws are very clear, put in place long before Trump, and they are finally now more enforced than in decades before, and yes, the enemy is within. Trump shared this truth with the generals and admirals of the military two months ago. His two principle messages given Sept 30, 2025 were1) that the enemy is within this country and 2) the military must remember its oath to protect and defend the Constitution (“Trump Discloses to the U.S. Generals, “The Enemy is From Within.” LibertyUnderFire.org). Indeed WE ARE threatened by the Deep State far left including these Congresspersons.
It is hard to dispute White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, Stephen Miller’s assessment of this video as “Democrat lawmakers are now openly calling for insurrection…. It’s a general call for rebellion from the CIA and the Armed Services of the United States by Democrat lawmakers, saying that you have not only the right, but the duty and the obligation to defy orders of the commander in chief.” It could lead to their defying “their chain of command and engage[ing] in open acts of insurrection.
But this is not unexpected from the “enemy within.” Miller adds, “When you see this continuous campaign of violence against ICE officers and Border Patrol agents, when you see Democrat sanctuary politicians and Democrat sanctuary governors side with the rioters, side with the assaulters over federal law enforcement, and that spills even into juries and grand juries, when you see Democrat jurors engage in nullification to let off violent attackers who are engaging in physical violence, physical assault against federal officers, this is a dangerous moment.”
“Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home.” Both the anarchists and the patriots understand this. Trump shared this truth with the generals and admirals of the military two months ago. His two principle messages given Sept. 30, 2025 were: 1) that the enemy is within this country and 2) the military must remember its oath to protect and defend the Constitution. Meaning the Constitution as written, not as fabricated by the Deep State, 6 Democrats and their video advocating treason.
Miller concludes, and LibertyUnderFire.org echos, “Look, there is nothing graver that you could possibly say as a United States senator than encouraging, urging, directing members of the armed forces of the United States or the clandestine services of the United States to defy their president, defy their chain of command, defy their superiors” (Stephen Miller: Democrats Urging The CIA and Armed Forces To Defy President Trump’s Orders Is Insurrection,” Real Clear Politics, November 20, 2025).
In most of our history defiance or insurrection of this magnitude would not have been permitted but promptly punished, and should be today as well. Our Republic is on life support if it isn’t. The fact remains these Democrats and their video is a call for insubordination, insurrection with the military order of the United States in defiance of the president. It fosters lack of confidence in out present leadership. If fellow Democrats choose to let this be their voice also and not counter the video and the six who made it, this call for defiance may be their last stand. I have said for over a decade the day will come when no-one will admit having once been a Democrat.
Trump calls their activity “seditious behavior.” In the very least it is certainly that. They are flirting with the possibility of destroying America as we know it as is all that do not resist them.

Last September 8, 2025, Trump placed on Truth Social a very curious three minute video of two physicians openly concerned about the wide use of thymerosol (mercury) in many vaccines. The video purports to cover the years between 1971 and 1981 but appears published some time after 2007, and was filmed presumably in their office. Why Trump would resurrect this very old video was not addressed. Is Trump hinting that the very dangerous ingredient mercury is still used in present vaccines? How else could his bringing attention to this matter be understood? Is Big Pharma intentionally making and keeping us sick; some suggest for profit others for depopulation? Trump invites open discussion on these topics.
Trump releases a video of two whistleblower doctors warning of the use of thymerosol (mercury) in vaccines years ago. We have produced their film transcript so that the people can be part of this discussion, otherwise why would Trump resurrected it. Are there reasons other than that “as a preservative in multi‑dose vials of vaccines” to prevent contamination, why we still give this dangerous substance in vaccines to infants? Is Big Pharma intentionally making and keeping us sick?
In light of our column last week, “COVID Findings the last 18 months Scream Stop ALL mRNA Related Vaccines,” we felt it necessary to transcribe and publish the precise video wordage and let the reader decide the why’s. Trump obviously wants attention given to this matter. The untitled video we will call “Trump’s Thymerosol (mercury) Bomb was/is used in Vaccines,” transcript follows:[A voice in the background] “Show them the thymerosol bomb which we keep in a metal container [the video shows a small bottle being removed by the doctor from a larger metal container] because we’re a little afraid of it and it’s a very fine powder.”
[First Doctor] “This is thymerosol which is labeled very toxic, has cumulative effects, can cause damage to the kidneys, to the respiratory system, skin, to the nervous system. Specifically warns on here [camera focuses on bottle from which he is reading] that it can cause reproductive and developmental toxicity, meaning that it can cause things like autism and other neuro-developmental disorders. This is IMMENSELY toxic stuff. And this is what’s in the vaccine. It’s important to realize that we are talking about a whole range of products. Vaccines are a big one because, of course, you’re injecting it. For example, this is a tetanus vaccine [holding up a small box with tetanus written on it]. This one is expired. It’s a little outdated now on 2007. [Reading the label] Here’s the thymerosol. One to 10,000 is a preservative.
“Perhaps the biggest one [vaccine used] in the US, at least that’s for exposure to mercury is the influenza vaccine. Influenza vaccine is now recommended for all pregnant women, all infants, all children, on a yearly basis. You’re supposed to use” [for influenza].
[Second Doctor interrupts] “Understand that thymerosol is not added at the end. It’s not like well that is factory mixed. You can make thymerosol free. Thymerosol you either have to have a thymerosol free factory or you have to not have one. They add thymerosol at each step because the factory is not clean and not sterile so you either have to have an expensive sterile factory where you don’t need thymerosol or you have to have one that produces thymerosol. It’s going to need thymerosol or something the whole time. It [the use of thymerosol] needs to be stopped.”
[First doctor]. “This is the influenza vaccine [holding a little box of it in his hand] from Adventist Pester their flu zone. Thymerosol [reading the lable] 25 micrograms of mercury per dose.”
[Second doctor]. “I’d like to point out that a lot of people didn’t know and I’m one of them. I’ve given 2,000 rogam shots. I’ve been in vaccines for 35 years. I didn’t know that rogam had thymerosol in it. So, I think a lot of the doctors were unaware that even the word thymerosol meant mercury.”
The video ended with a flash of a newspaper article entitled, “Thimerosol [spelled with the letter i rather than a y] in Childhood Vaccine Neurodevelopment Disorders, or Heart Disease in the United States.” Clearly they were early whistleblowers announcing the continued use of mercury caused these two outcomes. The video was republished by Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump. (Source X22 Report, 3726b, Sept. 8, 2025, 51:48 to 54:04). The doctor’s video and article clearly pointed to two areas of the body most detrimentally affected by the injection of mercury into it—serious neurological and cardiovascular conditioning strongly associated with both mRNA and viral-vector Covid injections.
Read the label. This influenza vaccine contains 25 mcg mercury/0.5 mL dose for ages 36 months.
I asked ChatGPT, What is known about the use of Thymerosol in vaccines? It confirmed its use since the 1930’s but also under the spelling Thimerosal and its use in ALL vaccines “as a preservative in multi‑dose vials of vaccines” to prevent contamination. It confirmed,“You can make thymerosol free” but it is more “expensive.” Basically they dismissed any serious harm from this substance.
What bothers me most about this information is that it came almost entirely from three sources: The US. Food and Drug Administration, CDC, and the World Health Organization. The same organizations that paraded the same lies debunked by virtually all peer reviewed studies on COVID vaccines since 2021. Computers just mirror what is put into them; “garbage in garbage out.” AI is no different. These sources and the pharmaceutical industrial complex once were the most trusted professions short of the ministry. After COVID they lost their halo and fell close to the bottom in public trust. Most physicians are genuinely sincere about their creed, “Do no harm,” but they have allowed these organizations to become politicized and to do their thinking for them resulting in harm to the people.
Trump is exposing Big Pharma. He started with demanding that they share with the people what they told him about the COVID vaccine that caused him to initially support it but did not share the same with the American people. Why? Trump is demanding that they do so now. He next made this video available suggesting that they may be using mercury in vaccines presumably to keep people sick and on side affect drugs very profitable to Big Pharma. Trump wants the presence of mercury in vaccines openly discussed. Does Big Pharma? No! It might reveal them!
