On Facebook yesterday, before Donald Trump’s primetime speech, I told my friends and acquaintances that Norm Eisen and Marc Elias are leading operatives for the corporate state. I asked them to keep this in mind as they navigated media framing of the intelligence showing that the 2020 election was rigged. The corporate state is in a full panic, I told them, because they know what they did.
I reminded them that the media turns to figures like Eisen and Elias to “substantiate” its claim that election rigging is “false,” “unfounded,” and “debunked.” The technique is what is known as “prebunking.” Prebunking works because repeated exposure to a statement asserted as truth makes people more likely to believe it is true, even when there is no new evidence supporting it—or even when it’s false. Cognitive scientists call the “illusory truth effect.”
The corporate media is the propaganda apparatus of the transnational elite. It weaponizes cognitive science to manipulate the public mind. Cognitive scientist Noam Chomsky, the Copernicus of linguistics, demonstrated this decades ago in his works Manufacturing Consent and Necessarily Illusions.
A professor at MIT, Chomsky broke ranks to expose the truth about how the elite lead the masses by the ring that public education pushes through the noses of our youth. As Chomsky put it, “Education is a system of imposed ignorance.” Institutional education prioritizes compliance and conformity over critical thinking, effectively conditioning students to accept the status quo rather than question it.

Trump delivered his speech last night and contained several bombshells. As expected, the media is misleading the public on what the President said and what the evidence shows. For example, Democratic Senator from Virginia Mark Warner appeared on MS NOW (formerly MSNBC) this morning to tell the audience that the voter files that China hacked, 220 million of them (far more than the number of voters currently registered to vote), was no big deal because that information is available to the public.
That is a lie. The information in voter files that the public can legally obtain does not contain all the information that’s in those files. The information beyond what is publicly obtainable includes data that can be used to hijack votes and change voter registration status. The data China hacked gave our adversary access to information neither you nor I can legally obtain, information China can use to rig elections by showing that persons have already voted or that they are not eligible to vote. This happened in several states (Georgia, most notoriously). Accused of having already voted or of not being properly registered, voters had to fill out provisional ballots that were never counted. It also allowed China to manufacture mail-in votes, which, as we all know, swayed the 2020 election.
What’s more, the implication that it’s no big deal that China hacked voter files downplays the threat Chinese hacking presents to the security of US elections. Why would a US Senator downplay that fact? Why does Senator Warner feel safe in appearing before the public and saying this? Whether that information is public or not, it does not change the very real national security threat of a foreign government hacking our election system. Senator Warner is effectively working with a foreign adversary to downplay the significance of election hacking. This makes Mark Warner, for all intents and purposes, a Chinese agent. He’s not the only one. It appears that several other senators knew this when the President didn’t. The Trump Administration is just now discovering what others already knew. That is a scandal.
When Russia was accused of hacking the US election, it was a five-alarm fire. Trump was accused of being Putin’s stooge, and Democrats claimed the 2016 election was stolen. I am not imagining this. Democrats were all over the media before and after 2016, explicitly making this accusation. Video clips of Democrats saying that Russia hacked our election and stole the 2016 election abound on social media. But China hacks our system, and it’s no big deal. Indeed, one is paranoid and spreading conspiracy theories when they talk about China’s involvement in the 2020 election. A bombshell is reframed as a dud. And tens of millions of Americans go along with this framing.
The media is downplaying a related bombshell by omitting another revelation in Donald Trump’s speech last night: that an internal chat log featuring Nikki Floris, a former high-ranking FBI official, shortly before or shortly after the 2020 election, based on the context, bragged that unelected intelligence officials were operating a “shadow government” to massage and suppress intelligence about Chinese interference. This is why Trump was in the dark about the role China played in his 2020 election loss. He was kept out of the loop so that he would not act to secure the 2020 election.
This fact undercuts the prebunking narrative that it was not possible that 2020 was stolen because Trump was president and therefore in charge of the intelligence agencies. The reality is that he was not effectively in charge of the CIA, FBI, and other intelligence services. Intelligence agencies were working against him and effectively at the behest of the Democratic Party. The deep state was keeping from Trump intelligence vital to election integrity and national security. This proves the existence of the deep state. This is a damning revelation.
The deep state was doing a great deal more than this. For example, in 2016, they worked from two Presidential Daily Briefings, the most important report of intelligence assessments the president receives: one version showing President-Elect Trump omitting vital intelligence assessments; the other presented to President Barack Obama containing those assessments, most crucially that there was no compelling evidence that Russia hacked the 2016 election.
Moreover, in 2020, more than fifty intelligent agents and officials published an open letter, widely circulated by the media, suggesting that the Hunter Biden laptop was “Russian disinformation” to obscure the evidence it contained that indicated Biden’s connections to the Chinese Communist Party and the corrupt government of Ukraine. Legacy and cable media networks, as well as social media platforms, censored posts and stories about the laptop. They even censored the oldest newspaper in America (founded by Alexander Hamilton), the New York Post’s reporting on the laptop. They deplatformed the War Room and other alternative media outlets that covered the story.
The prebunking operation and the subsequent omission of the admission of a shadow government operating to keep Trump in the dark are designed to deny the existence of a deep state that works independently of the presidency, and in this case, against Donald Trump. These aren’t “his intelligence services.” Any observer who knows about how the CIA and other intelligence agencies operate knows they work independently of the president unless the president specifically appoints loyalists to leadership—and even then, there are rogue elements working at the heart of these agencies. This is why there is so much concern over whether a nominee is an established intelligence asset. These services do not want outside actors leading their agencies.
If this were a Democrat president, the media would be all over the fact that some right-winger in the intelligence services, conspiring with other right-wingers, was keeping information from an incumbent president up for reelection. We would never hear the end of this if this had occurred under a Democratic president. The right would be accused of attempting to take out a president or presidential candidate. But because it’s Trump, that fact must be obscured, omitted from the reporting, and any whiff of it debunked as a “conspiracy theory.” The reaction of the media confirms what Trump is saying, and what those of us who study US intelligence services have been saying for years, that there is a permanent establishment in Washington that is working at cross-purposes with administrations they do not like, thwarting the will of the people and undermining the legitimacy of a duly elected president of the United States.
The denial of a permanent clandestine establishment in the context of a narrative that Trump is attempting to sow doubt about the integrity of the US election system goes to the greater narrative that Trump is an authoritarian who represents a unique threat to democracy. But the real threat to American democracy is a shadow government that effectively—if not directly—works with a foreign adversary to rig our elections. What is not in doubt is that the shadow government works with the Democratic Party to obtain and hold power and administrative control over the American people.
We also know that the Chinese Communist Party paid journalists to write negative stories about Trump. Remember all the hysteria of RT and other Russian news services and Americans on their payrolls? But American journalists don’t need our adversaries to bankroll their propaganda. Operation Mockingbird, a CIA propaganda construct established during the Cold War (back in 1948), has long organized the mainstream media. For those of you who do know about this, Operation Mockingbird recruited American editors and journalists to manipulate domestic news and disseminate propaganda. The existence of the program emerged from 1970s congressional investigations revealing the CIA’s extensive, covert infiltration of major media organizations. Its existence is a documented fact. The CIA used the same approach in developing the Trust and Safety regimes in the social media space. This is the conduit through which the Biden Administration worked with Twitter and other platforms to censor information and deplatform profiles disseminating information contrary to the aims of the corporate state. The deep state is not just a government entity. It also exists in the private sector.
Our democracy was hijacked by the deep state a long time ago. The media’s power to frame and manufacture information and the deep state’s control of the legacy media explain why tens of millions of Americans believe that Trump represents a unique threat to American democracy. This narrative allows the corporate state to advance the denationalization project and the managed decline of the American Republic. Considering these facts, it is astonishing that Donald Trump prevailed in the 2016 and 2024 elections. Imagine this apparatus didn’t exist. Trump would likely not only have won in landslides in 2016 and 2020, but he’d likely be the most popular president in our lifetimes. Instead, the population has been infected with a psychogenic mind virus. TDS is a result of the infection. This lies behind the repeated attempts on a president’s life. It has caused individuals to become alienated from their own family members.
My optimistic side has me warning you that we almost lost our country, and that Trump came in the nick of time, a figure not unlike Cincinnatus, who left his farm to don the senatorial toga and save the Roman Republic. Similar figures have appeared in American history. George Washington is the most obvious analogue. But the pessimistic side of me believes that the country was lost a long time ago with the establishment of the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency, created by the stroke of Democratic President Harry Truman’s pen in 1947. President Dwight Eisenhower was terrified of the apparatus, obliquely warning the country about the peril of concentrated power in his 1961 farewell address to the nation. This apparatus almost certainly engineered President John Kennedy’s demise. Its hand is apparent in many other events that have shaped our lives over the decades.

I also told my Facebook audience before the speech that the establishment wasfreaking out because I understood that Trump was set to announce that Democratic Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock of Georgia were illegitimately elected due to massive election fraud, following an FBI investigation into Fulton County in 2020. Now we know why the FBI was in Fulton County, I suggested. Tulsi Gabbard, former director of ODNI, was there because it appears there was foreign interference in the election. I had heard that it was China. That turned out to be true.
But Trump did not deliver the goods on Ossoff and Warnock, perhaps to make their pre-speech hysteria appear hyperbolic. Whatever the reason, if Ossoff and Warnock were fraudulently elected (and more information is coming out), then it is almost certain Trump was denied Georgia’s 16 electoral votes in 2020. Other problematic states are Arizona (+11 electoral votes), Wisconsin (+10), and Nevada (+6). Trump lost those states by 10,457, 20,682, and 33,596 votes, respectively. All those states were fraught with problems. Remember the hockey stick? If you ask AI to give you a path to victory, it will note these four states. It could pick any state, but it picks those four. Chance? No chance.
This is why David Rohde came out on MS NOW and tried to get ahead of the story with information leaked to him by somebody inside US intelligence, which now appears to have been a misdirection play. Rohde’s framed the intelligence he received as “disinformation.” But what Rohde wound up doing was confirming that US intelligence services uncovered massive fraud in the 2020 election. Was he set up? Steve Bannon put Rohde’s ravings on a loop on War Room. Meanwhile, Democrats were desperately trying to make it appear as if the intelligence services work for Donald Trump, a claim that anybody who knows anything about the deep state’s loathing of Trump is absurd on its face.
The problem is that Trump won in 2024, and now he has access to the intelligence the Biden Administration withheld during that husk of a man’s presidency (one of the most crooked men in American history). Not only is intelligence on election rigging coming out, but the Epstein files were also released, showing that Trump was not part of Epstein’s sex trafficking ring. The Biden Administration sat on those files, too, because they knew they debunked the conspiracy theory. Indeed, Trump played a role in exposing Epstein. That’s why Epstein tried to keep him from winning the presidency.
Democrats fought tooth and nail to keep Trump from returning to the White House because they knew what he would find there. Biden’s cronies hid information in secret rooms full of burn bags. Trump told America about the burn bags last night. The FBI, under new leadership, turned its offices upside down and found it. Fullton County tried to keep the election records from Trump. FBI went there and retrieved it. There is probably a lot more that was destroyed, but what the FBI obtained appears damning.
All the lawfare, lying about Hunter Biden’s laptop, the fake felony convictions, the E. Jean Carroll farce—even two assassination attempts—none of it worked to derail the Trump Train. And January 6? The police riot looks engineered to stop the challenging of state certifications. Democrats changed the Electoral Count Act in the dead of night to ensure that doesn’t happen again. Now they pivot to the conspiracy theory that the intelligence is cooked by Trump’s people.
I was mocked for saying all this in 2020. But I was right. I watched the vote counts flip in the early mornings. I understand statistical probability. I knew before the election that they were going to steal it because that loathsome snake Marc Elias told the public not to panic over the red wave. A blue wave was coming, he assured progressive media. The blue wave was the mail-in ballots. The machines and media intervention fixed the rest. That’s how Biden got 81 million votes, an absurd number on the face of it. That statistic alone told us the election was stolen. It insults my intelligence to peddle that nonsense as truth. They overshot a realistic number because Trump wound up winning ten million more votes than in 2016. They had to keep counting to overcome Trump in those four states.

I will leave you with this note. I think you will find this interesting. After graduating from Columbia University in 1983, Barack Obama worked for Business International Corporation in New York City, a firm catering to multinational corporations. Congressional investigations during the 1970s revealed that BIC’s co-founder, Eldridge Haynes, worked closely with the CIA to provide cover for its agents and projects. Remember how Obama came from nowhere after an unremarkable career as a lawyer? He didn’t come from nowhere. I didn’t vote for him in either 2008 or 2012. Now you know why.
