Tucker Carlson’s team have been investigating the events of 9/11. Today they release the first segment of a multi-phase docuseries. A former FBI agent who was embedded in the CIA’s Bin Laden unit, Mark Rossini, claims the CIA was fully aware that the 9/11 hijackers were in the United States planning an attack. Rather than inform the FBI, the CIA tried to recruit two of the hijackers for a “false-flag” operation, which quickly spiraled out of control. The failed mission raises urgent questions about government secrecy, intelligence failures, and what really happened before 9/11. YouTube:The 9/11 Files: The CIA’s Secret...

Defending Kash Patel from HimselfSeptember 14, 2025 | Sundance Many people were thrilled with the nomination and eventual confirmation of Kash Patel to be Director of the FBI. However, with decades of researching the political weaponization of the FBI and against the known capabilities of the nominee, we were not part of the thrilled group.The non-pretenders looked at the challenge, contrast the scope of work against the skillset of the person selected to confront the institutional corruption, and warned people there was more reason to be apprehensive than optimistic.Do you remember us outlining how the various FBI field offices would...

CIA Leakers Weaponize “Sources and Methods” Talking Points to Target DNI Tulsi GabbardAugust 9, 2025 | Sundance Insiders within the Intelligence Community (IC), and specifically ongoing operators within the CIA, are targeting Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.The least understood issue right now, is how isolated and alone Tulsi Gabbard is on her mission to bring sunlight to the Intelligence Community weaponization and corruption.…”There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things”…The IC uses various media...

Planet Earth continues to hide a plethora of secrets that our modern science still seems far from uncovering. One of the most mysterious regions of our world is the southern pole, the Antarctica, where a group of researchers has now found ‘strange radio waves coming from below the ice’.

If you have walked the deep political weeds with us, you will likely remember the warnings. Thomas Massie, Chip Roy, Rand Paul and other fellow republican travelers will join with Elon Musk and the alligator emoji network to oppose President Trump as soon as they can get back into the minority.There is an intention behind this alignment of interests, which includes the Tech Bros (and Sea Island), that ends with a Vance-DeSantis promoted effort in 2028. The only thing standing in their way is MAGA. As a result, MAGA must be fractured.The money center behind the strategy is working on...

Unfortunately, The Trump Cabinet Will Likely Expand the Surveillance StateDecember 25, 2024 | SundanceThe surveillance state is an outcropping of the Fourth Branch of Government, which is, essentially, the unelected intelligence community in control of our government.The surveillance state comes from the creation of the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) which is an entirely inward-looking agency. Prior to the Patriot Act, the surveillance sweep searching for terror threats focused outward, looking outside the U.S borders. The Patriot Act took the surveillance sweep a full 360 degrees and looked inside the Homeland for terror threats. Hence, DHS was created.The office of...

Charlie Kirk and Glenn Greenwald Discuss the Unspoken Power of the DNINovember 27, 2024 | Sundance Keep pushing the TRUTH folks; just keep pushing. I’m going to call this a ‘win’ because this is the first time I have seen an accurate discussion of the little-known power of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).More than two decades ago, it was a commonly accepted discussion point that the intelligence apparatus within government was a system of intensely protective silos of information. Heck, the entire precept behind the creation of the ODNI was to put one person into a...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is poised to become the “leader of the resistance” to President-elect Donald Trump as he finishes his second and final term in office, and sets his sights on a possible presidential run in 2028.That’s the view of Republican strategist Rob Stutzman, a former aide to California’s last Republican governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.The San Francisco Chronicle reported:“He gets not only a lifeline to his career that was facing a dead end, but he will be able to position himself as the leader of the resistance,” Stutzman said.Harris’ loss means Newsom will...

The 17thAugust 9, 2024 | Sundance Machiavelli said,“It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones. A prescient and oft repeated quote that is pertinent to the situation.When our founders created the system of government for our constitutional republic, they built in layers of protection from federal control over the lives of people in...

BIG PICTUREJuly 7, 2024 | Sundance |Someone noted last year that after my research trip my tone changed. Perhaps becoming a little more deliberate, perhaps becoming a little more stern. It is an accurate sense, and there is a very good reason for this. I will explain.I have noted several times in the past few years that the nature of our relationship with government seems to have shifted. Specifically, We The People now appear to be in an abusive relationship with government. In all abusive relationships there is a common set of behaviors; the DC control system is following a...

According to a recent Reuters report, Elon Musk signed a $1.8 billion contract in 2021 with the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) to launch a system of orbiting surveillance satellites.According to the report, “if successful, the sources said the program would significantly advance the ability of the U.S. government and military to quickly spot potential targets almost anywhere on the globe.”Remind me again exactly when Elon Musk bought the Twitter platform.WASHINGTON, March 16 (Reuters) – SpaceX is building a network of hundreds of spy satellites under a classified contract with a U.S. intelligence agency, five sources familiar with the program said,...

Taylor Swift’s performative activism is getting tiresome — and transparently hypocritical.Now that she is the Democrats’ official cultural vector for promoting their left-wing agenda, the mega pop star has become more than ubiquitous. She is being forcibly crammed down everyone’s throats. Her media saturation level is somewhere near Hurricane Katrina. Even NFL fans who just want to enjoy the game have no choice but to watch Clockwork Orange-style as she cheers on her Kansas City Chiefs boyfriend in cringeworthy style.Left-wing and establishment media can’t help fantasizing about how Swift’s massive pop culture sway could “save Joe Biden” in next year’s...

Fox News Chief Political Analyst Brit Hume called former President Donald Trump a failed president on Monday. Hume issued his condemnatory statement in response to a video from conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, who suggested that people oppose Trump due to his success as president. “If Trump was such a failed president, why are they doing everything they possibly can to prevent a second term of Trump?” said Kirk. “Oh, I don’t know. Maybe they don’t want a repeat of a failed presidency. Just guessing here,” responded Hume.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee is seeking to recruit established candidates over populists for Senate races in 2024, according to comments from GOP strategists and commentators to the Daily Caller News Foundation.Republicans failed to make expected Senate gains in 2022’s midterm elections after novice GOP candidates lost critical races.“[We must be] nominating candidates who can win … Senate seats are too important to throw away,” said Peter Roff, a conservative commentator.Republicans are looking to recruit moderate and experienced candidates for Senate races in 2024 to avoid a repeat of losses in the 2022 midterms, GOP campaign experts and conservative commentators...

Jack Smith’s Backup OptionDonald Trump was indicted in Florida. Could he also face charges in New Jersey?By Ryan Goodman and Andrew WeissmannEven before last Thursday’s indictment in United States v. Donald Trump, public speculation swirled about whether the former president had taken classified documents not just to Mar-a-Lago but also to his residence and golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. The indictment answered that question with a bang while presenting a new puzzle about why Trump isn’t facing even steeper charges.According to the Justice Department and a taped recording of the former president, Trump took classified records from Mar-a-Lago to...

DeSantis 101May 25, 2023 | Sundance | 74 CommentsNow that the people who created, manage and construct the branding for Ron DeSantis have finally made the admission to push their puppet into the 2024 race, we should probably talk about what the person representing their quest is all about.First, the obvious. Notice how the managers will not allow Ron DeSantis to hold a public campaign event in Florida? This is a tenuous time for them, and they cannot allow the optics of DeSantis being protested by Republicans in his home state to undermine their effort. DeSantis must be shielded in...

How Corrupt Is Our Current Situation? It’s Worse Than Most Can Fathom…May 4, 2023 | Sundance | 309 CommentsThe football spiking by AG Merrick Garland today deserves some context, and I am going to take you through a story that will highlight just how bad the situation really is.Everything that preceded the 2020 federal election was a complex system of control by a network of ideologues, federal agencies, allies in the private sector, financial stakeholders and corrupt interests all working toward a common goal. There’s no need to go through the background of how the election was manipulated and how...

If you ever wanted to know how influential billionaire donors and the professional grift is amid the pro-life movement, this is a case study in the insanity of it. President Donald John Trump was the most pro-life President in U.S. history. President Trump outlined the platform policy of returning the issue of abortion to the states, and constructed all political endeavors to deliver on that pledge. President Trump was the first president to speak at the March for Life events in Washington DC and hold pro-life supporting events at the White House.
