‘Shadow Government’ Bureaucrats Exposed For Stoking Woke Insanity In Red States

A new report from the State Leadership Initiative (SLI), released Wednesday, is sounding the alarm on how conservative states are quietly adopting woke policies, driven by little-known national bureaucratic organizations.

The report, first reported by Fox News, details how a web of well-funded national associations, often posing as nonpartisan or professional groups, is behind this trend, pushing what SLI calls “shadow governance.” These groups set policy frameworks, control federal funding, and offer “best practices” that lean heavily into left-leaning priorities, according to Fox News.

Among the organizations exposed in the report are the National Association of State Treasurers (NAST), the National Association of Medicaid Directors (NAMD), and the National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE). SLI’s report examined 23 of the largest associations and found widespread embrace of DEI initiatives, transgender ideology policies, and ESG principles.

One example highlighted in the report points to NAMD’s push for equity over outcomes in Medicaid reform. In its 2021 Regulatory Priorities document, NAMD listed 11 “broad issues” for improving state Medicaid programs, with “advancing equity in Medicaid” as the top focus. The document reads, “Equity work should include a focus on racial and ethnic minorities, rural populations, Tribal populations, and any other groups experiencing disparate health outcomes, with an understanding that inequities are multidimensional and often fall across multiple population characteristics or categories. We also see discrete areas where focus would be beneficial, bearing in mind that the work to advance equity in Medicaid is holistic and branches across all issue domains.”

Conservative leaders are fond of declaring victory,” the report reads. “They win elections, pass legislation, and appoint agency heads with great fanfare, yet, on issue after issue, the administrative state trudges forward in open defiance of their mandate: enforcing equity initiatives, embedding climate policy, and advancing bureaucratic priorities wholly alien to the voters who ostensibly elected the government. This disconnect is not incidental. It is structural.

The ideological left does not need to win a single statehouse so long as it controls the bureaucratic bloodstream,” the report added.

In a statement to Fox News, SLI founder and president Noah Wall said about the revelations that, “Every single one of these associations pushes DEI.” “It doesn’t matter how specific—whether it’s a fish and wildlife group or a treasury department—DEI is a core part of their programming.”

Wall demanded Republican governors to crack down on the quiet push for far-left policies and called for accountability.

Tulsi Gabbard Reveals Deep State Operative James Clapper’s Russia Hoax Wasn’t His First Intel Scam — He “Manufactured” the WMD Lie That Led to the Iraq War

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard accused former Obama DNI James Clapper of being a serial political manipulator, exposing that the Russia Collusion Hoax wasn’t his first rodeo in deception.

Gabbard unloaded on disgraced former DNI James Clapper during her appearance on the Pod Force One podcast with Miranda Devine of the New York Post.

Gabbard is accusing the longtime Deep State operator of not one, but TWO of the most catastrophic intelligence failures in modern American history, the phony Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) narrative that dragged the U.S. into a forever war in Iraq, AND the sham “Russia Collusion” hoax used to undermine President Donald Trump.

The “Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) narrative” refers to the false claims made by the U.S. government primarily under President George W. Bush and his administration that Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq possessed active WMD programs, including chemical, biological, and potentially nuclear weapons.

Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, CIA Director George Tenet, and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice were central in pushing the WMD case.

Then-Secretary of State Colin Powell famously presented the WMD case before the United Nations in February 2003, using satellite photos and intercepts that later turned out to be deeply flawed or outright false.

At the time, Clapper was the Director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), responsible for analyzing satellite imagery and other geospatial intelligence. The NGA’s assessments of potential Iraqi WMD sites contributed to the overall intelligence community’s conclusion that Iraq had such weapons.

Clapper later conceded that the intelligence community’s assessment was wrong, describing it as building “a house of cards” based on faulty assumptions that ultimately led to the conclusion that WMD were present when they weren’t. 

“My fingerprints are on the infamous national intelligence assessment of October 2002,” he said during a 2018 event promoting his book Facts and Fears at GW’s Jack Morton Auditorium.

“[The intelligence community] built a case in our own minds, a house of cards it turned out that led us to the conclusion with pretty high confidence that they were there, and it turns out they weren’t,” he added.

“It represented closure for the country and closure for the intelligence community and certainly personal closure. It was certainly a profound event, and I will never forget it,” he said.

Was the Death of Seth Rich a Hit by the Deep State?

“The truth is stranger than fiction” (as attributed to Mark Twain

Conspiracy theorists have long thought that Seth Rich’s death was an assassination facilitated by the Deep State — a Machiavellian hit by the Deep State to cover for its operation known as Russian Collusion because Rich could expose it as false from the beginning.  It was an actual “Spy vs. Spy” episode, straight out of Mad Magazine — except our side went full Stasi against the American people.  There were the DOJ, FBI, CIA, ODNI, and others in the Intelligence Community (I.C.), except NSA director Adm. Mike Rogers (See more).

With the bombshell release of documents (and here) by DNI director Tulsi Gabbard and more releases every day, Rich’s death at the hands of the Deep State is no longer a conspiracy theory.  I agree with Director Gabbard’s conclusion: Accountability and the rule of law must be restored.

Their goal was to subvert the will of the American people and enact what was essentially a years-long coup with the objective of trying to usurp the President from fulfilling the mandate bestowed upon him by the American people. …

Their egregious abuse of power and blatant rejection of our Constitution threatens the very foundation and integrity of our democratic republic.  No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, to ensure nothing like this ever happens again.  The American people’s faith and trust in our democratic republic and therefore the future of our nation depends on it.

Gabbard spoke at the regular White House press conference.  CNN cut away while Gabbard was speaking.  Why?  Fraud by omission on a significant news story of the day?  The legacy media are up to their usual spin.  Politico was less biased than the rest so far.  Politico does have a link to the documents.

The circumstances surrounding the death of Rich are well known to the American Thinker readers.  I will limit this piece to new information.  I did glean one thing from these releases that is significant to the death of Seth Rich, which I’ll explain soon.

METRO DC police quickly attributed Rich’s death to a street robbery gone bad.  Any Deep State involvement was swiftly dismissed as a fantasy of conspiracy theorists by the authorities and echoed by the legacy media. 

Attorney Ty Clevenger and I have made many attempts to bring information about Rich’s death to the congressional oversight committees.  The silence has been deafening.  I empathize with A.G. Pam Bondi and FBI director Kash Patel.  Especially since the DOJ, FBI, ODNI, and CIA are principals in this conspiracy — who destroy, withhold, hide, curate, and create evidence under the guise of classification, ongoing criminal investigations, or national security from the American people. 

The absence of information leads to speculation and conspiracy theories.  Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn (ret.), a victim of egregious lawfare by the Deep State, is beginning to wonder.  Gen. Flynn knew too much, as likely did Rich.  People have little awareness of what it takes to put together a good criminal case, let alone prosecute it, especially when the DOJ is in the tank.  People’s expectations often stem from fictional accounts in movies and TV, where everything typically happens within 60 to 90 minutes.

Rep. Nancy Mace: If You Didn’t Already Believe in the Deep State ‘You Absolutely Should Now’

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) joined Fox News to discuss the increasingly disturbing revelations coming out about the Deep State attacks against President Trump that have been underway from the time he announced his candidacy in 2015.

NEVER FORGET.

Barack ObamaJames ComeyJames ClapperJohn Brennan, and every major mainstream media outlet lied for years to the American public by claiming “Russia hacked the election” to get President Trump elected in 2016. Further, their alleged source, Crowdstrike, NEVER had Evidence that the DNC was hacked or that Russia was involved.

They all knew this was a lie.

On Thursday, FBI Director Kash Patel called out the crooked Clinton campaign after the declassified Durham annex revealed Hillary personally approved the Trump-Russia hoax and said there is more to come.

Rep. Grace told Fox News’ Harris Faulkner that if you didn’t already believe in the deep state, after the new revelations, “you absolutely should” now.

Rep. Grace said, “If you didn’t believe in the deep state then, you absolutely should believe in the deep state now. This was a political hit job worth about $32 million from the top down in the White House all the way down, using agencies like the CIA, the FBI, and the DOJ to kneecap Donald Trump before an election. Maybe it didn’t manipulate votes.”

“However, the way that the mainstream media covered it as fact, the way that they blew President Trump up over this and smearred him, et cetera, that’s on their I hope that the DOJ will have real bona fide criminal referrals, indictments, and that people go to jail for this conspiracy.”

“It’s illegal, it’s criminal.”

“Thank God that Donald Trump had the courage and he had the strength of millions of Americans also across the country to support him as he fought back against all of the lies, against all of the hoaxes, and against the deep state who was trying to take him out.”

DNI Tulsi Gabbard Torches Media for Spreading Obama’s Russia Hoax — Says Press Complicit in “Historic Lie” to Sabotage Trump: ‘They Printed What the Deep State Told Them to Print’

The Deep State house of cards is collapsing — and DNI Tulsi Gabbard just lit the match.

During an interview on OANN with former Rep. Matt Gaetz, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard accused the Obama Administration and its loyal media mouthpieces of orchestrating and perpetuating a “historic lie” to sabotage Donald Trump’s presidency before it even began.

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier this week, Gabbard’s second explosive document release contains indisputable evidence: Barack Obama not only knew the Russia Collusion narrative was bogus — he ordered it.

The so-called Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA), rushed out in January 2017, was a politically motivated hit job — a fabricated intelligence document, pushed by CIA Director John Brennan, and blessed by Obama himself — designed to frame Donald Trump as a Russian asset.

During a surprise appearance at Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s briefing, Gabbard called out the media to their faces:

TULSI: “I’m not asking you to take my word for it. I’m asking you in the media to conduct honest journalism — and for the American people to see for yourselves.”

But instead of owning up to their role in pushing Obama’s fake narrative, the so-called “mainstream” media scrambled to bury the truth.

CNN’s Response? PANIC. The network infamously known for breathlessly reporting the Steele dossier and pushing the Russia hoax cut the feed as Gabbard detailed Obama’s criminal involvement.

“I Say These Words Very Clearly” – DNI Tulsi Gabbard Speaks Out on Obama and the Deep State’s Years-Long Coup Against President Trump

On Friday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard  released newly declassified presidential briefing documents that prove that puts Barack Obama at the center of the Trump-Russia collusion narrative hoax.

It was recently reported that former FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, and DNI James Clapper worked together to purposely corrupt the Trump-Russia investigation in 2016 before Trump entered office.

Today we discovered what we all suspected — Barack Obama was in on it too and leading the coup against President Trump!

Documents prove that Barack Obama knew it was a hoax and he was involved in manufacturing and politicizing the intelligence to create the Trump-Russia collusion canard.

On Friday night, DNI Tulsi Gabbard joined Sean Hannity to discuss the historic document release from earlier in the day.  Gabbard is NOT backing down on her insistence that Barack Obama, his administration, and deep state officials ran an attempted “coup” against President Trump his first year in office.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard:  This is an issue that is important to every single one of us as Americans. This is not a partisan issue. It has to do with the integrity and the strength of our Democratic Republic. And it lays out this over 100 documents that you’re referencing that I’ve released, declassified and released, spells out in great detail exactly what happens when you have some of the most powerful people in our country, directly leading at the helm, President Obama, and his senior most national security cabinet, James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper, and Susan Rice, and others, essentially making a very intentional decision to create this manufactured, politicized piece of intelligence with the objective of subverting the will of the American people who, in November of 2016, delivered a historic victory to President Trump, defeating Hillary Clinton.

And, President Obama and his team, their goal was to essentially not accept the decision of the American people and to use this manufactured, politicized intelligence as a means to enact what would become essentially a years-long coup against President Trump. You have gone into great detail over these years on what the effects of this document and this decision have resulted in.

Obviously, a years long Mueller investigation that caused taxpayers almost $40 million, two Congressional impeachments, endless smears and attacks against not only President Trump, but his family.

He had senior members of his team who were investigated, some arrested and jailed. We had heightened and increased tensions between the United States and Russia. The list goes on and on about the consequences of President Obama and his senior cabinet members politicizing intelligence.

Once again, and I say these words very clearly, to enact what was essentially a years-long coup subverting the will of the American people in that election in November. Now, you reference this President’s Daily Brief document that was drafted for President Obama in early December that reaffirmed what the intelligence community professionals, as you say, had been assessing for the previous six months leading up to the election, which was that Russia neither had the intent nor capability to hack the outcome of the US election essentially. As you said, President Obama’s political appointees pulled that document before it could be published, and it has not been published until we released it today. And the very next day after they pulled that document, President Obama called the National Security Council cabinet meeting to discuss how Russia interfered with the election…

The Anniversary They Want You to Forget: TWA Flight 800 and the Deep State’s Deadliest Lie

On July 17, 1996, 230 men, women, and children boarded TWA Flight 800 for Paris. Twelve minutes later, their lives were incinerated in midair. And for nearly three decades, the American government has done everything short of setting the ocean on fire to bury the truth.

Last week marked the 28th anniversary of that explosion. You didn’t hear much about it from CNN, or MSNBC, or even the White House. 

Of course you didn’t. 

The people who peddled Russiagate, the Hunter laptop hoax, and the now-laughable myth of President Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities are the same types of bureaucrats who sterilized the truth in 1996 to protect their golden boy: President Bill Clinton.

Because make no mistake: What happened to TWA 800 wasn’t just a tragedy. It was a cover-up soaked in blood.

The Missile Theory They Mock Until You Read the Evidence

The official story goes something like this: A fuel-air explosion inside the center-wing tank was caused by an electrical short. The problem? That has never happened before or since in the history of commercial aviation. 

And more than 200 eyewitnesses, many of them military-trained, reported a streak of light arcing up from the horizon, then a fireball.

You don’t have to believe some Reddit thread. Just read Jack Cashill. In his exhaustive investigation, “TWA 800: The Crash, the Cover-Up, and the Conspiracy,” Cashill compiles the following:

  • FBI 302 reports of eyewitnesses that were altered or disappeared.
  • Radar data showed unidentified objects rapidly approaching the plane.
  • Explosive residue on passenger seats and debris, which the FBI later claimed came from contamination, after initially labeling it “consistent with missile fuel.”
  • Whistleblowers, such as Navy Commander William Donaldson and TWA Captain Terry Stacey, were stonewalled or reassigned for raising concerns.

This wasn’t a malfunction. It was a missile strike, almost certainly fired accidentally by the U.S. Navy during a live-fire exercise, and then intentionally buried to avoid scandal in an election year.

The FBI’s War Against the Truth

While families grieved and the country mourned, the FBI moved fast, not to solve the case, but to seize control of the narrative. Within hours, they had muscled the NTSB out of the lead, quarantined key wreckage, and steered the media toward mechanical failure.

When physicist Tom Stalcup and several NTSB investigators tried to reopen the case in 2013 with new radar analysis and 3D modeling, their petition was denied. 

The response? 

There’s “no compelling evidence.” Of course not, because you people shredded it.

Deep State DOJ Hiding Seth Rich Documents – “The Heart of the Russia Collusion Hoax”

The Deep State is hiding documents related to the Seth Rich Murder “The Heart of the Russia Collusion Hoax”.

After more than 8 years, the corrupt and criminal FBI refuses to provide evidence related to Seth Rich’s murder.   

This has been going on since 2016.  The death of Seth Rich coincided with the beginning of the Russia collusion lie.  Those wanting justice, like attorney Ty Clevenger, have been illegally delayed and denied information related to this case since this time.

It is believed that Seth Rich is not only the key to the Russia Collusion coup attempt of the first Trump Administration but also the reason for the initiation of the CISA.

Seth Rich is the key to the Russia Collusion coup of the Trump Administration.  Efforts to cover-up his actions involved in the transfer of Democrat and Podesta files to WikiLeaks when uncovered are expected to indicate that the files that were delivered to WikiLeaks were from Seth Rich.  The lie that the Russians were involved will be found to be a total fabrication.

Hillary wanted to deflect from her email scandal and what was in her emails.  These emails included numerous crimes committed by Hillary and Obama and Biden and many others.  It is believed that Seth Rich essentially provided these emails to WikiLeaks and they were damning – implicating the corrupt Deep State in numerous crimes.  This is why many believe Seth Rich was murdered.

Meet the woman working inside Trump’s DOJ – she’s married to a radical leftist who doxxes ICE agents…

We always hear about “Deep State” operatives burrowed inside federal agencies, and anyone paying attention has seen it play out time and time again. But what if one of them isn’t hiding at all? What if they’re sitting right under Trump’s nose, embedded in his DOJ, hiding in plain sight?

The story is a bit convoluted, but let’s start at the beginning with a left-wing group called “ICEBlock.” This is a radical anti-ICE group that openly doxxes federal agents and broadcasts the location of active enforcement teams. But here’s the kicker: the creator of this dangerous, illegal site has a wife, and her name is Carolyn Feinstein, and she works for the US Department of Justice under the Trump administration.

And if that’s not bad enough, the ties get even more clear. It turns out the app is supposedly hosted on servers tied to her husband’s own tech firm. This is raising serious questions about whether a federal insider—Carolyn Feinstein—is helping sabotage law enforcement from deep within the Trump administration.

Are we looking at dangerous, violent corruption unfolding in plain sight?

So, what is ICEblock? As we mentioned above, it’s a doxxing app for ICE agents. It was launched in April 2025 by developer Joshua “Aaron” Feinstein. This app lets users anonymously report ICE sightings to notify others nearby. The irony is that AG Pam Bondi has called out this app for how dangerous it is, yet the wife of the developer is working in her department.
