Note: Some say that Trump and WE The People cannot beat the "Deep
State" coup we are seeing because the corruption is so widespread it
would take an armed revolution and/or a full blown military take-over by
arresting anyone and everyone committing treason in our name. At the
very same time, we have morons like Pelosi and Maxine Waters suggesting
Martial Law to take-down Trump....and that would lead to all
Conservative activists, radio show hosts and others alike to be arrested
for (the Dem's claims of treason).
WE
ARE AT WAR, and there is no other way to suggest otherwise. If we were
to step back 150 years, it would require militia and armies to engage
each other, because there was no electronic means to fight either side
psychologically and because it boils down to "psychological
warfare"......we are in a desperate state of war that must be won.
President Trump and AG Jeff Sessions have got to be collecting names and
evidence to take-down the socialist/communists. If they don't....we
will lose. ---Dave Bertrand @bertranddave1

The Deep State vs. President Trump
by
Except
for a handful of Congresspersons, Deep State members have not been
elected and are accountable to no one. They profoundly influence
virtually every domestic and foreign matter of consequence. D.J.
Hopkins, another close student of this phenomenon, notes that "the
system served by the Deep State is not the United States of America,
i.e., the country most Americans believe they live in; the system it
serves is globalized Capitalism." And they do so regardless of which
party is nominally in control. Lofgren takes pains to point out that the
Deep State is not a coven of diabolical conspirators. It has evolved over several decades to become the antithesis of democracy.

FBI have uncovered ‘evidence of treason’ among alt-right websites, says George W Bush’s ethics lawyer
The Independent - The man who served as former president George W Bush’s most senior ethics lawyer has suggested that the FBI is “uncovering evidence of treason” by far right US news websites over their links with Russia. Richard Painter tweeted a link to an article suggesting that the Bureau was looking into news outlets like Breitbart News, InfoWars and the Kremlin-backed RT News and Sputnik News, to see whether they worked with Russian-backed operatives to disseminate stories favouring Donald Trump during the presidential election. at times when his campaign appeared to be struggling. Sources told US publisher, McClatchy that online “bots” had created millions of social media posts linking to articles on the sites, some of which were completely false, while other contained a mixture of fact and fiction. Investigators are now trying to establish whether the websites were complicit with the people managing the “bots” or the operatives were controlling them without their knowledge – which is entirely possible.
US probes banking of ex-Trump campaign chief
AP - U.S. Treasury Department agents have recently obtained information about offshore financial transactions involving President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, as part of a federal anti-corruption probe into his work in Eastern Europe, The Associated Press has learned. Information about Manafort’s transactions was turned over earlier this year to U.S. agents working in the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network by investigators in Cyprus at the U.S. agency’s request, a person familiar with the case said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to publicly discuss a criminal investigation. The Cyprus attorney general, one of the country’s top law enforcement officers, was made aware of the American request. A spokesman for Manafort did not immediately respond to questions from the AP. Manafort, who was Trump’s unpaid campaign chairman from March until August last year, has been a leading focus of the U.S. government’s investigation into whether Trump associates coordinated with Moscow to meddle in the 2016 campaign. This week, the AP revealed his secret work for a Russian billionaire to advance the interests of Russian President Vladimir Putin a decade ago.
FBI Grilled On Extent Of Its Facial Recognition Program
Vocativ - The FBI took fire from privacy advocates and members of Congress Wednesday over how it characterizes its face recognition program, which has allowed agents to access and algorithmically match the photos of tens of millions of Americans — including innocent people who have never been charged with a crime. At a hearing convened by the House of Representatives’ government oversight committee, experts and lawmakers pressed an FBI representative on the agency’s misrepresentation of the program’s scope, as well as its refusal to audit the accuracy of systems responsible for matching vast databases of photos with criminal suspects. FBI spokesperson Kimberly Del Greco responded to several questions with statements that contradict what is currently known about the scope and capabilities of the agency’s face recognition programs…. According to a comprehensive report released last year by researchers at Georgetown Law, roughly half of all Americans have their photos accessible by a law enforcement face recognition system. The report found that 16 states grant the FBI free access to driver’s license photos for its Next Generation Identification and Facial Analysis, Comparison, and Evaluation (FACE) photo-searching systems.
Chaos Inside GOP House Conference Forces Speaker Ryan to Cancel Thursday’s RyanCare Vote
Breitbart - Progress bringing the bill to the floor was stalled out when a compromise reached in principle between President Donald Trump and the chamber’s conservative bloc, the House Freedom Caucus, late Wednesday was not included in to the bill as a manager’s amendment. Manager’s amendments are privilege’s of relevant committee chairmen, who can change the language in a bill without going back to the full committee. The HFC members accept that the RyanCare bill is not the repeal-and-replace of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that created Obamacare, but they insist that the speaker’s Obamacare rescue bill eliminate the Essential Health Benefits provision that requires a minimum of services in insurance policies, and they want to eliminate the Individual Mandate that RyanCare preserves as a program managed by the insurance companies, not the IRS. As conservatives gain concessions in the RyanCare negotiations, more liberal Republicans have been dropping out, especially over cuts to Medicaid and a new promise by the president to keep illegal aliens from participating in RyanCare health plans.
Schumer: Democrats Will Filibuster Gorsuch
Breitbart - Senate Democrats will attempt to filibuster the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced on Thursday during a speech on the Senate floor…. While it only takes a simple majority of 51 votes in the 100-member Senate to confirm a nominee, Schumer then went on to say that Gorsuch “will have to earn 60 votes for confirmation.” This means a filibuster. Under Senate Rule 22, for any question involving debate, if senators wish to continue speaking, it takes a three-fifths vote of the full Senate (60 out of 100) to invoke a motion for cloture, which limits debate to no more than 30 additional hours, after which a final vote must be held. When senators insist on continuing debate until cloture shuts them down, it’s called a filibuster.,,, The Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to vote Gorsuch out of committee on April 3, sending the nomination to the Senate floor for this filibuster showdown.
NRA to Campaign Against Red State Democrats who Oppose Gorsuch
Breitbart - There are number of Senate Democrats from Red States who are up for re-election in 2018. Gateway Pundit published a list of names that included Senators Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Sherrod Brown (D-OH) Joe Donnelly (D-IN), Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), Joe Manchin (D-WV), Clair McCaskill (D-MO), Bill Nelson (D-FL), and Jon Tester (D-MT), among others. Democrats in this list who vote against a Gorsuch confirmation will not only find themselves campaigning against a Republican challenger but against the NRA as well. The Washington Examiner quoted a letter from NRA-ILA executive director Chris Cox, in which he wrote, “The NRA has every confidence that Judge Gorsuch will protect the Second Amendment rights of law abiding gun owners and will faithfully apply the Constitution in the cases that come before him. He has our strongest support for confirmation.”
NTSB convincing states to lower drunk driving minimum to one or two drinks
MassPrivate I - Earlier this month, Utah lawmakers passed HB155 which would make it illegal to have a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.05%. A 0.05% BAC translates into only one or two alcoholic drinks! "The proposal would mean that a 150-pound man could get a DUI after two beers, while a 120-pound woman could get one after a single drink..." "For several years, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has encouraged states to drop their blood-alcohol content levels to 0.05 or even lower."
Dr. Phil Exposes Elite Government Pedophile Ring On Mainstream TV(Video)
YourNewsWire - Dr. Phil exposed the crimes of an elite government pedophile ring to millions of viewers across the United States on Tuesday, after interviewing a former child sex slave called ‘Kendall’. Kendall, who was repeatedly sexually abused as a young child, detailed her life growing up as a sex slave to an elite pedophile ring to a stunned audience. As more and more Americans are beginning to wake up to the fact that high-level government officials routinely sexually abuse children, Dr. Phil helped bring the issue to the attention of an even bigger audience. Kendall explains that she was born to be a sex slave, as her parents intentionally had her for the trafficker she calls her “owner.” Kendall says that her parents sold her at birth to an elite pedophile ring that serviced some of the world’s power elite, describing her first memories as being passed around groups of rich and prominent men and women for them to “take turns” with her for sadistic sexual pleasure.
