RFK Hearings – Why Are Politicians So Afraid of Transparency

Faith in anything related to public health is rightly at an all-time low and despite the incredible mandate that the election provided to MAHA, most Democrats and a handful of RINOs are dead set against the transparency Bobby has promised to provide. This is a man who has vaxxed his kids and promised not to ban anything. He’s not a radical. He’s promoting overall health and very sensible policies. He’s a lawyer and simply want’s people to have the evidence necessary to make good decisions. So why is a call for transparency such a threat? After all, who hides things unless there is something to hide?

The answer is honestly similar across the board – money or political realities. Big pharma largely owns Congress (both parties) but the political reality of Trump embracing MAHA forces the hands of many. Despite this, there are a number of absolute RINOs and big pharma sellouts (I’m looking at you Elizabeth Warren, Lindsey Graham, and Mitch McConnell) but I’m not wasting space on them in this article. Instead, I want to talk about a few people we hope we can help to see truth.

Legislators Are Blackmailed by Intel Community, Top Legislator Says

Tucker Carlson left Joe Rogan speechless with this disturbing claim — a claim Tucker asserts as fact during an interview with Joe Rogan that has re-emerged since the Trump inauguration.

“Members of Congress are terrified of the intel agencies,” Tucker told Rogan.

“I’m not guessing at that. They’ve told me that. Including people on the intel committee. Including people who run the intel committee, the people whose job it is to oversee and keep in line these enormous secretive agencies whose budgets we can’t even know. They’re black budgets. They’re the parents. The agencies are the children. They’re afraid of the agencies.”

If there were any doubts surrounding the political power that our intelligence agencies have, they’ve been largely dispelled since Trump won his first presidential run in 2016. During the first Trump term the American people were largely unable to enjoy the many successes of the administration they voted for, due to an endless barrage of scandals – largely concocted by our three letter government agencies.

It was Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer who gleefully told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, “you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.” Schumer said it with a smile.

Former Labour MP Reportedly Arrested on Suspicion of ‘Sexual Communications with a Child’

Ivor Caplin, a former Labour Party MP and government minister, was reportedly arrested following a ‘paedophile hunter’ group sting.

The former member of parliament for Hove, who served the constituency from 1997 until 2005, was reportedly arrested on Saturday, according to the Daily Mail.

Footage has been shared on social media of a man who appeared to physically resemble Caplin being detained during a sting by a group of self-proclaimed paedophile hunters, who claimed that the man was seeking to meet with an underage boy.

In a statement, Sussex Police said: “We are aware of footage circulating on social media showing a man in Brighton being detained on suspicion of engaging in online sexual communications with a child.

“Officers can confirm that a local 66-year-old man was arrested on Saturday January 11 and currently remains in custody. This is an ongoing and active investigation.”

Caplin, 66, was a junior defence minister in Tony Blair’s government from 2003 to 2005. He was suspended from the Labour Party last year after unnamed “serious allegations” were made about him. The former MP denied any wrongdoing.

In addition to being a member of parliament, Caplin was active in various left-wing campaign groups in Britain, including previously serving as the chairman of the Jewish Labour Movement and as a patron of the LGBT+ Labour group.

Last week, in an appearance on GB News, Caplin criticised X owner Elon Musk over comments accusing government figures such as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls Minister Jess Phillips of alleged failures in the Muslim child rape grooming gang scandal.

Red Flags: Recognizing the Signs of Political Manipulation

When you hear politicians speak, you’re often not hearing the full truth—you’re hearing what they want you to believe. Their speeches, press conferences, and interviews are carefully crafted to make you feel a certain way or see an issue from their perspective. But what happens when those messages twist facts, hide agendas, or manipulate emotions?

The good news is this: you can spot political manipulation if you know what to look for. Whether it’s an empty promise, a misleading statistic, or an attack meant to distract you, there are clear red flags you can identify to protect yourself from being misled. Here’s how.

IG Report Reveals FBI Could Still Be Spying On Congress And Leaking To Help Democrats

Can you imagine the danger to our republic if the Executive Branch could secretly, for months on end, and without any clear and compelling justification, surveil the very people in Congress conducting oversight of those agencies?

That chilling constitutional nightmare transpired. And we’re only getting the details about the separation-of-powers-eviscerating, civil liberties-undermining, and transparency-imperiling activity seven years after it started.

The revelations come in a recently released Justice Department Inspector General report. Like much of this corrupt activity, the story begins with Russiagate. In the spring and summer of 2017, the first year of the Trump presidency, CNN, The New York Times, and The Washington Post published articles containing classified information concerning Trump and Russia.

Among the unauthorized disclosures to emerge was that a FISA warrant had been issued to surveil Trump’s foreign policy adviser Carter Page. The dubious warrants would be renewed four times.

Page was framed as a Russian agent through authorities’ omission of critical exculpatory information and reliance on the dodgy Steele dossier that federal investigators could never corroborate. An official would later be prosecuted for doctoring information about Page used to justify FISA warrant renewal.

Page’s reputation was destroyed, and his rights violated, all as part of a fishing expedition into Trump world that had the added benefit from the perspective of the Deep State of fueling the narrative that the president too was a Russian agent. Indeed, the revelations added smoke to the phony Trump-Russia collusion fire that would consume the first two years of his administration.

Federal authorities went on a mole hunt for the Russiagate leaker. Between 2017 and 2018, prosecutors issued subpoenas for non-content records for phone numbers and email addresses covering two members of Congress and 43 staffers — Democrats and Republicans alike — on grounds they may have accessed the classified information before it wound up in the papers.

The justification in most cases was simply “the close proximity in time between that access and the subsequent publication of the news articles,” the IG found.

The records included information like text message logs, email recipient addresses, and call detail records indicating who initiated communications, with which numbers, dates, times, durations, etc. The records would have provided a map to the professional and personal lives of those surveilled.

In myriad instances the feds sought non-disclosure orders from courts too. The NDOs prevented communications companies from apprising the congressmen and staffers that their records had been subpoenaed. In other words, they ensured the surveilled overseers of those doing the surveilling were kept in the dark.

The DOJ obtained 40 NDOs, approximately 30 of which were renewed at least once, and most of which were repeatedly renewed — some extending up to four years.

Rep Nancy Mace accosted at US Capitol by Chicago trans activist, suspect in custody

On Tuesday, South Carolina Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace was accosted on the grounds of the US Capitol. The suspect was taken into custody. Mace said the person was a male trans activist. Mace has made controversy in recent weeks by insisting that women’s bathrooms on Capitol Hill be for women only. After her advocacy, House Speaker Mike Johnson made that an official rule.

“This attack shows how far the Left will go to silence women in our fight against the trans takeover,” Mace told The Post Millennial. “We’ll push harder, move faster, and stand stronger. Let me be clear: I won’t be silenced—not now, not ever.”

After the attack, she was seen wearing a brace.

Why You Need To Stop Defending Mediocre Politicians

For those who religiously follow my work, I rarely ever heap praise on politicians. A political mentor once told me the following: If you don’t have anything negative to say about a politician, don’t say it all.

That makes perfect sense. Politicians receive copious amounts of undeserved praise and attention from sycophantic media outlets and naive voters. Unsurprisingly, the constant stream of praise politicians receive incentivizes them to routinely engage in bad political behavior.

This is particularly relevant when observing the Republican Party’s political trajectory since the end of World War II. What was initially a party founded on protectionism and an emphasis on domestic infrastructure investment in the middle of the 19th century, the GOP has embraced so-called “free trade”, perpetual foreign policy intervention abroad, and slavish devotion to mega-corporations.

Every now and then, there would be movements like the Reagan Revolution, the Buchanan Brigades, the Ron Paul Revolution, and Donald Trump’s America First movement the try to shake things up and move the Republican Party in a markedly anti-establishment direction whether it be nationalism in the cases of Buchanan and Trump or a return to limited government republicanism in the cases of Reagan and Trump.

In each of these cases, energized disgruntled voters took to the campaign trails and the polls, thinking they would be the vanguard of a revolutionary class that would upturn politics. Endorphins ran high and dreams of overturning a corrupt political order were on the minds of these firebrands. However, such optimistic thinking would be dashed once it became clear their efforts would be all for naught.

Within a decade or so they would become jaded by the whole political process. The very politicians they admired would either be assimilated into the establishment Borg or failed to build a viable anti-establishment coalition in government capable of exerting credible political power. The latter point held particularly true with the Ron Paul movement where the former Texas Congressman was quite literally the sole dissenting vote on many of the critical foreign policy and spending issues. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) finds himself on a similar legislative island in the present.

Patriots, Parasites, and the Regime

What motivates patriots to enlist?  Patriots love the idea of America, yes, but first and foremost, they subordinate their love of the intangible to the tangible: their family, friends, and neighbors.  They believe in their fellow Americans so much that they’re not only willing to risk their life for them, they’re yearning to kill the people – “foreign and domestic” – who dare to threaten their fellow Americans.  Patriots feel it their duty to defend what they deem sacred, and that alone should help clarify why rates of enlistment haven’t recovered since the regime desecrated what’s sacred in 2020.

“The government” is often regarded as a saintly organization that cares only for the people it claims to serve; however, contrary to what the reader and author alike have been taught for years, decades, etc. – yes, the brainwashing has been overwhelmingly thorough – the government is not some charitable organization that acts solely based on the citizens’ needs.  No, “the government,” which sounds robotic and deceives the reader, implies that a robot can’t possibly harbor selfish, human nature.  Even the righteous bureaucrat cannot evade “the natural law of parsimony (the most gain for the least effort).”  Like any other organization, “the government” is comprised of people – but not just any people.  “The government” – henceforth, “the regime” and its “parasites” – is, more often than not, comprised of people who worship power.  Yes, “parasite” – like it or not – is the only way to accurately describe someone who lives off of another.  They are not helping their fellow Americans; they are parasitizing and persecuting the very same people they claim to be serving, all the while promising that it’s in our best interest.

Patriots who’ve considered enlisting can see as well as anyone how their would-be employer treats what is sacred, whether it be the intangible – the American way of life – or the tangible: family, friends, and neighbors.  The regime does not care for its fellow Americans, whom they deem annoying, inconvenient, and a threat not to democracy but to their hegemony.  The regime cares only for its fellow parasites – foreign and domestic – not because these are the caring type but because ‘caring’ helps maintain their control.  While the people of Flint, Michigan and East Palestine, Ohio still suffer, the regime cares for Ukraine’s parasites.  While the people of Maui, Hawaii still suffer, the regime cares for Israel’s parasites.  And while the people of Western North Carolina still suffer, the regime tells us that we should be more concerned with the upcoming elections than with caring for our family, friends, or neighbors.  Adding insult to injury, the regime pits our fellow Americans against each other because an angry, divided populace is easier to manipulate than a decentralized but united people.  Not only do we not need the parasites, we cannot flourish with them.

Why are rich doctors flying supplies on their private jets to Western North Carolina?  Isn’t that the regime’s job?  Isn’t that the regime’s only job – to help the people it claims to be serving?  Furthermore, shouldn’t such a selfless act wholly discredit the parasites’ existence?  After all, the rich doctors who donate their time and resources pay more in taxes than most earn as a salary, only to then be coerced to pay the regime to do the job that these doctors are doing themselves.  Again, not only are the parasites not helping us, the greatest opportunity for all materializes only without them.  All of us – parasites included – would be better off if they were to find gainful employment in the real economy instead of living off of us while claiming that we can’t live without them, which, in some instances, they’re no longer even pretending (“no more money, sorry”).  In which scenario is the aspiring military recruit actually helping his family, friends, or neighbors: helping the people of Western North Carolina or killing the people of Western Russia?

The would-be recruit is aware of the fact that the parasites are more than happy to lead our country into war with, say, Russia, Iran, or China than to help Americans.  What did the Iranian people do to your family, friends, or neighbors?  What about the Russian people or the Chinese people?  I doubt that most Americans have great affection for other countries’ people, but do we want to kill them?  No, but that’s what the parasites desire, as dead patriots in foreign lands are less threatening than the bona fide patriots within our borders.  Any escalation of violence between other countries’ parasites and ours is only their ‘business,’ but, curiously, this seems to be the only time that we don’t ‘need’ the parasites; they tell us that they need us (to fight, kill, and be killed).  Due to its unbridled, pathological hubris, the regime is wholly unaware that the potential recruit might wish to do something besides die for it.
