A Kennedy Secret Service agent, Paul Landis, now 88 but then 28, breaks his silence after 60 years. He was there “riding the rear of the right running board on a black Cadillac convertible… situated just behind the limousine carrying the president of the United States and his wife, as well as the governor of Texas and his wife.” He was about 15 feet behind John F. Kennedy when the struck president fell on November 22, 1963, situated to witness everything, but the Warren Commission only interviewed one of the eight agents in the follow-up car, not him.
It was a serious mistake. Landis reports, “I saw a flash of white as the right side of President Kennedy’s head exploded in a pink spray of blood, flesh, and brain matter. I automatically ducked, not wanting to get splattered as we drove through it.” This shot came from the front.
Minutes before Kennedy’s Assassination. Agent Landis was in the motorcade just behind the Kennedy limousine. Sixty years after the event he reports, “I saw a flash of white as the right side of President Kennedy’s head exploded in a pink spray of blood, flesh, and brain matter. I automatically ducked, not wanting to get splattered as we drove through it.” This shot described came from the front not the back as concluded by the Warren Commission.
After the shooting Landis “saw two bullet fragments in the presidential limo (he picked up the larger) in the blood next to Mrs. Kennedy (as agents finally convinced her to let go of the head of the ‘lifeless’ president)…. After she stood up, ‘I looked again at the seat and saw a bullet on top of the tufted black leather cushioning behind where she had been sitting. It was resting in a seam where the tufted leather padding ended against the car’s metal body.’ It was ‘approximately two inches long and in almost perfect condition.” Not wanting it lost and believing it to be an important part of the crime scene, “he slipped it into his right suit coat pocket.” At Parkland Memorial Hospital, he “placed the bullet on the blanket near the president’s left shoe” knowing that it was evidence that belonged to him in the event that had just occurred.
Why was this oversight so important? It counters the Warren Commission Report of a single gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald, and the “single-bullet theory” sometimes called the “magic bullet” reportedly “responsible for seven entry/exit wounds in both the president and the governor, causing all of Governor John Connally’s wounds and the non-fatal wounds to Kennedy, while escaping virtually unscathed.” Somebody moved the unscathed bullet left next to Kennedy’s left foot by Landis in trauma room #1 to Connally’s stretcher in trauma room #2 at Parkland Memorial Hospital and the Commission may have “assumed it had exited his body during efforts to save his life,” not Kennedy’s. Landis admits this “is the story I kept buried—even from myself—for more that fifty years.” Nightmares of the assassination drove him out of the service the next year and haunted him the remainder. He did not speak openly of his agent service till 2013. His book could be considered a death bed confession (“The Review,” by William P. Hoar of The Final Witness: A Kennedy Secret Service Agent Breaks His Silence After 60 years, by Paul Landis, Chicago Review Press, 2023, See New American, Nov. 27, 2023, pp. 41-43).
This column limits itself to recent Kennedy Assassination information. LibertyUnderFire has published on previous news breaks on this subject; reviewing them might be helpful as a prelude to this column; see “The Kennedy Assassination’s withheld files,” November 22, 2013, “Rethinking the Kennedy Assassination,” November 21, 2014; “We don’t have to wait for CIA documents on Kennedy Assassination,” November 3, 2017; and “Trump Too Delays JFK Assassination Files! Why?,” June 15, 2018.
Trump is the only president that released some of this suppressed information to the public. In October 2017 he “released 2,800 documents, with redaction, relating to the JFK assassination.” Opposition was too great to release more or even to release what he did, unredacted. “Under the direction of then CIA Director Mike Pompeo, [he] decided to withhold the remaining documentation” (“The Deep State & The Kennedy Assassination,” by Andrew Muller, New American, JFK Special Report, November 27, 2023, p. 19). The CIA, created under Harry S. Truman, has always been waist deep in the Deep State and their likely involvement has been noted from the assassination on. So who controls them? After the assassination, only the new president, Lyndon Baines Johnson. Today probably only the Deep State.
When Roger Stone, a Trump adviser, asked why he did not release the full documentation Trump answered according to Stone, “I can’t tell you. It’s so horrible you wouldn’t believe it. Someday you’ll find out.” Obviously President Trump knew. He promises to release all records unredacted after his reelection in 2024.
As we have previously published, Lyndon Johnson benefitted most from the demise of his predecessor. He created and selected the participants of the Warren Commission to investigate the crime, and gave it direction to conclude that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman. Is he the reason this information is “so horrible you wouldn’t believe it?”
If President Kennedy was killed from the front by a bullet to the head causing Agent Landis traveling behind to duck “not wanting to get splattered as we drove through it,” as the agent attests, then there had to be a second shooter. This is the fence just above the grassy knoll described by witnesses where some saw smoke and the likely spot from which a 2nd gunman could have fired on the president hitting him in front. Photo taken by author visiting the crime scene in November 2014.
What is mostly new on Johnson as a possible accomplice, other than what LibertyUnderFire has previously published, is that Johnson “ordered the presidential limousine in which Kennedy was riding shipped to Detroit—within 72 hours of the assassination—where the body was replaced and the interior refurbished. This is curious both for evidentiary and historical reasons. Johnson even ordered the suit worn by Texas Governor John Connally—who was also shot, though not fatally, alongside JFK—cleaned and pressed before it was presented to the Warren Commission. He also issued an executive order locking a massive amount of evidence and documents away in the National Archives until 2039” (“Who Killed Kennedy,” by Steve Byas, JFK Assassination & The Deep State, New American, November 27, 2023, p. 26).
So what about this story is so horrible that the door on it could not be opened until 2039, —a full lifetime 76 years later? What is certain is that the Deep State, referred to then as the invisible or shadow government, which included the CIA was most responsible. Somebody did not want accountability until they were long dead—Johnson? Only the government had the power to suppress this information and did. The government then and for sometime thereafter was the Democrat Party and Republican presidents were complacent thereafter too, until Trump.

Evidence against Joe Biden is coming out like a flood from multiple sources including the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability. But when do we finally call bribery bribery and treason treason? The FBI does not investigate, the DOJ does not prosecute, the Deep State media (the vast majority of the establishment news) does not report, and the Democrat Party does not condemn it’s president on the flood of evidence pouring out the last 30 days. Silence or inaction does not disprove evidence ignored. The crimes associated with the 2020 election Coup d’état and the Biden Crime family corruption are at least a hundred times worse than Watergate.
This column limits itself to recent Oversight Committee revelations. We published on previous news breaks on Committee findings, thus reviewing them might be helpful as a prelude to this column; see “House Finds Biden used over 20 shell Companies to hide money from China,” “With Treason Documented, When do the Arrests Begin?,” “Biden Family made Millions from Influence Peddling,” “Biden Family’s CCP Connections and $250,000 Payoff Wired to Delaware Home.” One ignorant on this topic is so by choice.
The House Oversight Committee’s published copy of the $40,000 check completing the laundered money trail from China to former Vice President Joe Biden. If a laundered check processed through secret Trump shell companies resulted in a personal check to Trump this would result in 24 hour news coverage for days and would certainly be considered bribery and treason as well. Biden “exposed himself to future blackmail and put America’s interests behind his own desire for money,” the Committee found.
This piece is yet another Biden money trail finding. This one proves Joe, as “the big guy” in the Biden crime family operation, received 10% of the profits as Hunter had previously claimed. On November 1st the Committee “released a video and bank records memorandum revealing how Joe Biden received $40,000 in laundered China money from the account of his brother, James Biden, and his sister-in-law, Sara Biden, in the form of a personal check.”
This money trail, the Committee attests “begins in July 2017 when Hunter Biden demanded payment from his Chinese Communist Party (CCP) linked associate. On July 30, 2017, Hunter Biden sent a message to Raymond Zhao—a CEFC associate—demanding a $10 million dollar capital payment and claimed his father, Joe Biden, was sitting in the room. CEFC is a Chinese energy company linked to the CCP. The Biden’s began working with CEFC when Joe Biden was Vice President” under Barrack Obama.
“On August 8, 2017, Northern International Capital, a Chinese company affiliated with CEFC, sent $5 million to Hudson West III, a joint venture established by Hunter Biden and CEFC associate Gongwen Dong. That same day, Hudson West III sent $400,000 to Owasco, P.C., an entity owned and controlled by Hunter Biden. On August 14, 2017, Hunter Biden wired $150,000 to Lion Hall Group, a company owned by President Biden’s brother James and sister-in-law Sara Biden. On August 28, 2017, Sara Biden withdrew $50,000 in cash from Lion Hall Group. Later the same day, she deposited it into her and James Biden’s personal checking account. On September 3, 2017, Sara Biden cut a check to Joe Biden for $40,000 for a “loan repayment” (“Comer Reveals How Joe Biden Received Laundered China Money,” November 1, 2023). Ten percent of the $400,000 to Owasco, is $40,000. Joe Biden personally profited from Hunter’s family business dealings from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The money trail ended in Joe’s wallet.
On the check was written “loan repayment,” probably a part of the camouflage of the money as no evidence is yet found that James owed his brother Joe $40,000. To this James Comer, Oversight Committee Chairman wrote, “But even if this $40,000 check was a loan repayment from James Biden, it still shows how Joe benefited from his family cashing in on his name – with money from China no less. Without his family peddling his name and his son threatening a CEFC associate with consequences that he said Joe Biden knew about, James wouldn’t have had the money to write the $40,000 check to his brother Joe.” BINGO!!!
The House Oversight Committee’s graph detailing Joe Biden’s influence peddling for money from a Chinese company to a Hunter Biden / China Joint Venture with associate Gongwen Dong, linked with the China Communist Party (CCP), to a Hunter Biden entity, then to a James and Sara Biden entity then a personal check to Joe Biden for $40,000—his 10%, as “the big guy,” of this $400,000 business deal. The amount would vary for other “deals” made with China or at least four other countries known to have worked similar “deals” with the Biden’s.
Comer then added, “It’s also worth remembering that Biden family efforts to secure millions from this Chinese company began when Joe Biden was still Vice President. In taking funds sourced to a CCP-linked company that wanted to advance China’s interests, Joe Biden exposed himself to future blackmail and put America’s interests behind his own desire for money” (Ibid.). This is certainly bribery and likely treason as well.
Other compelling evidence against Joe Biden also surfaced in the last 30 days. The National Archives (NARA) was forced by a FOIA to surrender “4,243 emails to/from Hunter Biden; 19,335 emails to/from the domains @rosemontseneca.com and @senecaga.com; 1,751 emails to/from Jim Biden;, and 3,738 emails to/from domain @lionhallgp.com. In addition, it documents that “Joe Biden’s Vice Presidential Office Exchanged nearly 20,000 Emails with Hunter Biden’s Investment Firm, AFL [America First Legal] Says,” (By James Lynch The Daily Caller). So much for Joe Biden not knowing anything about his son’s business dealings. He participated with him and them to dish out government secrets for sale and profit.
Also, shockingly disclosed by NARA, “Biden sent or received up to 82,000 pages worth of private emails while serving as Barack Obama’s vice president, as part of a lawsuit. The Archives revealed that the trove of correspondence spanned all eight years of Biden’s vice presidency and included messages to or from three [Joe Biden’s] shadow email addresses: ‘robinware456@gmail.com,’ ‘JRBWare@gmail.com’ and ‘Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov,’ according to a joint filing with the Georgia-based Southeastern Legal Foundation” (“Biden exchanged up to 82K pages of emails under pseudonyms while VP: lawsuit,” By Josh Christenson, New York Post, Oct. 31, 2023). The fake Biden name, Robert L. Peters, was used the most to hide his nefarious purposes. President Obama had to have known of the deceit.
So when do we finally call bribery bribery and treason treason? The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability just did—providing a money trail from Communist China into the pocket of Joe Biden hiding both under 20 secret shell companies, hidden emails, and fake names.

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

Few realize that New England’s first form of government under the Pilgrims was communalism (socialism) where “each produced according to his ability and each received according to his needs,” applied in practice more than two centuries before Karl Marx first penned the above quote. The result, “share the wealth,” then and now was, and always will lead to shared poverty.
Socialism made strong men lazy!!
William Bradford, Plymouth colony’s governor its first 30 years, wrote of the agreement between the 102 Pilgrim Mayflower passengers and the financial “Adventurers” in his book Of Plymouth Plantation. He noted that the seven-year contract signed July 1, 1620, before leaving Plymouth England, stipulated that the Pilgrims were to pool, for common benefit, “all profits and benefits that are got by trade, traffic, trucking, working, fishing, or any other means of any person or persons…” It further noted “that at the end of the seven years, the capital and profits, viz. the houses, lands, goods and chattels, be equally divided betwixt the Adventurers and Planters…”
During this time the colonists were to “have their meat, drink, apparel, and all provisions out of the common stock and goods of the said colony.” It doesn’t get more socialistic than this because the government divvied out the goods and loafers received the same as those who worked.
The first two years the result was shortages and starvation. Half the colonists died. No one did more than the minimal because the incentive to excel was destroyed by the contract. The industrious were neutralized. Bradford wrote of the scarcity of food “no supply was heard of, neither knew they when they might expect any.” The contract, Bradford added, “was found to breed much confusion and discontent and retard much employment that would have been to the benefit and comfort. For the young men, that were most able and fit for labour and service, did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men’s wives and children without any recompense….”
In other words, socialism made strong men lazy. Bradford spoke of another problem because of the government created famine—thievery. Even in this Christian community, “much was stolen both by night and day….” to alleviate the prevailing condition of hunger.
The “feast” of the first Thanksgiving did fill their bellies briefly, and they were grateful, but abundance was anything but common. Harvests were not bountiful in that year nor the next. Why did this happen? Because they had fallen victim to the socialistic philosophy of “share the wealth.” This dis-incentivized the productive base of society.
After two years of such, with the survival of the colony at stake, they contemplated upon “how they might raise as much corn as they could, and obtain a better crop than they had done, that they might not still thus languish in misery.” They opted to abandon the incentive killing socialist contract in favor of the free market. And so they “assigned to every family a parcel of land, according to the proportion of their number, for that end….”
The effects were almost immediate. A delighted Governor Bradford wrote: “This had very good success, for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been by any means the Governor … could use, and saved him a great deal of trouble, and gave far better content. The women now went willingly into the field, and took their little ones with them to set corn; which before would allege weakness and inability; whom to have compelled would have been thought great tyranny and oppression.”
Postcard depiction. Only half of the 102 who boarded the Mayflower survived the first two years.
Then suddenly, as though night changed to day, the crop of 1623 was bounteous, and those thereafter as well, and it had nothing to do with the weather. Bradford wrote, “Instead of famine now God gave them plenty and the face of things was changed, to the rejoicing of the hearts of many, for which they blessed God.” He concluded later, “any general want or famine hath not been amongst them since to this day.” One variable alone made the difference and ended the three-year famine. They abandoned the notion of government (or corporation) owning the means of production and distribution in favor of the individual having property and being responsible to take care of himself. Before, no one benefited by working because he received the same compensation as those who did not. After the change everyone kept the benefits of his labor. Those who chose not to work basically chose also to be poor and the government (corporation) no longer confiscated from those who produced to give to those who did not.
In other words, the free market (capitalism) is a much greater stimulus than governmental force. The Pilgrims now wished to work because they got to keep the benefits of their labor.
Secure property rights are the key to prosperity for all who wish to work. When this right is threatened by confiscatory taxation or outright confiscation of property, or by excessive government rules and regulations governing such, whether planned as in a contract enforced by the government at Plymouth, or gradual as in our day, work and production slow and can eventually stop. The answer for them was to extricate socialism immediately from their midst, as it is for us today as well. May we have the wisdom to do so.

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

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