WORLD NEWS AND COMMENTARY

🔥 Yesterday, James O’Keefe posted his latest border exposé. He’s been following the shady NGO’s, like so-called ‘Catholic Charities,’ which are really poorly-disguised fronts for massive illegal migration facilitation and government grifting. James’ latest video, linked below, is highly entertaining and worth the watch. You can watch James O’Keefe hilariously pretending to be a surveyor, throwing around blue-collar lingo and chatting up some very sketchy people who don’t quite admit working for “charity” group No Mas Muertes, but who don’t really deny it either.

O’Keefe also somehow smuggled an undercover associate who fits the profile of an illegal migrant into the restricted area of the operation, and who was discovered and detained by some armed Mexicans. Later, James bravely extracts his luckless associate through an unexpected confrontation. Also somehow connected to all this skullduggery was Tucson’s Universal Unitarian Church — a group considered wildly heretical by most mainstream Christian denominations but somehow fitting for this mission.

More than anything, the video — and O’Keefe’s previous ones in the same series — leaves us with two overriding impressions. First, these so-called “charity workers” are obsessed with secrecy. One lady in this clip explicitly said, “we are all paranoid,” and admitted she only wears her covid face mask “when the white people show up, so they won’t take my picture.”

What are they hiding from the white people?

The second, secure impression one gets watching these clips is that the U.S. government is dumping billions of dollars into the cartels. Quite obviously, the pallets of cash attracting all these shady groups to help border jumpers jump the border are being washed through federal grants, probably through HHS or Homeland Security.

Take a close look at the ‘facility’ shown in O’Keefe’s video. Does that look like something a US-based charity group set up? Or does it look more like something thrown together by a Mexican cartel?

I’m going with cartel.  Give me one reason why I shouldn’t conclude the cartels are creating front groups to grab all the federal grant money by relocating illegals into America.

This is the problem with big government. There’s too much power routed through one bottleneck, and too few effective checks and balances. All our enemies had to do was capture the decision maker.

May God bless James O’Keefe and keep him safe while he does his important work.

🔥 Everything is just fine. Yesterday, CBS News ran a calming, not worrying, story headlined, “House Intel chair’s cryptic warning about “serious national security threat” prompts officials to urge calm.” It even included the word “calm” right in the headline. Earlier in the day, something badly alarmed House Representative and Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Turner (R-Oh.), who put his career on the line by making a rare — if not wholly unprecedented — public call for the immediate declassification of a certain unidentified National Security threat.

The rest of Congress immediately clamped down on the story, hard. Congressmen outside the Intel Committee were promptly briefed in a secure facility, and then grudgingly allowed that it was an important threat, but was not an urgent one, implying strongly that skittish Congressman Turner was just jumping at shadows. House Speaker Mike Johnson wave off concerns and said,  “We just want to assure everyone, steady hands are at the wheel. We’re working on it and there’s no need for alarm.”

Well, okay then. Case closed. But … whose steady hands are at the wheel?

Despite all the chatter from House and Senate leaders, Intel Chair Turner has gone radio silent since he sent his original S.O.S. for declassification, as has the House Intelligence Committee’s twitter feed. I won’t bore you with the various quotes but, as usual, it appears nothing will be declassified for one murky reason or another. They did, however, create a giant fog of confusion and wild speculation that is right now hovering somewhere above Lake Michigan.

Just to give you a taste, one popular vein of online reasoning is it must be UFOs. But the most likely suggestion I’ve seen is that Iran has finally got nukes.

What do you think it could be?

🔥 Speaking of inky government secrets and murky non-declassification, independent reporters and former democrats Michael Shellenberger and Matt Taibbi earned the respect of the American people by famously working with Elon Musk to break the so-called “Twitter files” story, which exposed government manipulation of social media companies to censor Americans and achieve dubious political goals, and which has fueled the generation-defining Missouri v. Biden First Amendment case. This week, Shellenberger claimed to have broken another government-corruption story — a much bigger story — in a series of remarkable Twitter posts.

Useless corporate media is completely silent, which tells us a lot.

Shellenberger’s story involves that binder I reported on two months ago on December 18th, when CNN had just run a bizarre, hastily-written, long-form story about a missing top-secret intelligence binder — missing for almost three years! —  blaming it all on Trump. The binder held a classified report about Crossfire Hurricane — the Russian Collusion hoax leading to Trump’s first impeachment — and according to CNN, to “election interference in 2016.” Whatever’s in it, it is a report that the deep state is desperate to bury in the Oceanic Trench as deeply and as soon as it possibly can.

Back in December, I suggested the surprise SWAT raid on Mar-a-Lago by a swarm of federal agents wasn’t actually about trying to find some vague nuclear-secrets records that Trump hadn’t returned to NARA after being asked nicely.

I suggested the raid was instead intended for one reason only: to find that binder. The NARA business was just a carefully staged predicate.

Two days ago, Jesse Waters covered Shellenger’s developing story on Fox:

CLIP: Jesse Watters interview with Michael Shellenberger over Crossfire Hurricane scandal (4:21).

Multiple credible sources say that in the run-up to the 2016 election, the CIA asked foreign intelligence agencies — specifically the “Five-Eyes” group of nations — to spy on a list of 26 Trump campaign members. It was a setup, so that the CIA could cleverly evade U.S. laws against domestic spying. Specifically, the CIA asked the other governments’ spooks to try to develop relationships and interactions — called “bumping them” in the spook business — with each of the 26 Trump officials. That gave the FBI a legal predicate to “monitor” the 26 Trump campaign members, since they were interacting with covert foreign intelligence agents, which brought the Trump team within FISA and allowed Obama’s DOJ to wiretap and spy on them.

In the clip, Shellenberger also confirmed he now believes what I speculated about two months ago, which is that the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago to find the missing Crossfire Hurricane Binder, not because the binder implicates President Trump in any crime, but because it implicates U.S. intelligence agencies and agents in crimes. What kinds of crimes? Fantastically awful crimes. The worst imaginable political crimes. Crimes that, if proved, would make Benedict Arnold look like a patriotic, flag-waving nationalist.

I kind of like the way Lara Logan put it. She said it would “dwarf Watergate and every other scandal — combined”:

If anything, that understates the case. Then yesterday, more information emerged. Fox’s Jesse Watters followed up with another segment, this time interviewing Matt Taibbi, which was twice as long as the first one.

CLIP: Jesse Watters Valentine’s Day update (8:24).

In yesterday’s clip, Watters reported that Taibbi and Shellenberger claim to have evidence that Joe Biden has been coordinating all the Trump criminal cases as part of the Crossfire Hurricane coverup. I don’t need to tell you how that could affect the Trump prosecutions.

This is all still developing and fascinating and incomprehensible and the implications are staggering if not completely mind-boggling.

I’ll say this about the timing. It does not look accidental. As far as I can tell, as a close media observer, CNN got wind that the story was going to break and tried to get ahead of it in December. Then, as the 2024 election season got underway, the story began breaking, and now in early February, it is breaking into the open.

Remember, the binder went missing when Trump left office. It’s possible it just took this long to percolate into the public domain, but I doubt it.

It looks to me like we are watching a long-planned release. A release of evidence of crimes that will make all previous political offenses look like peccadillos. What appears to be rising to the surface of DC’s septic tank is a crime so big that, if not definitively addressed somehow, will shatter the Republic.

I think things are about to get much more interesting, which is saying a lot, since we’re talking about 2024.

If this is Trump’s plan to deep-six the Deep State, he’d better hustle.

Have a terrific Thursday! And hustle back here tomorrow morning, where we will pick up the threads with another astounding Coffee & Covid roundup.
