How the Intelligence Community Rules the US. By Sundance.
Henry Cuellar (D-Texas, CD-28) .., was openly critical of the Biden border crisis in the latter half of 2021. [A few weeks later], FBI agents raided his home …
At the time of the FBI raid (January 2022), everyone noted the visible connection between Cuellar’s criticism of Biden and the launch of the DOJ investigation against him. The timing was just too convenient.
Last Friday an indictment was unsealed. Representative Cuellar and his wife are each charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit bribery of a federal official and to have a public official act as an agent of a foreign principal, two counts of bribery of a federal official, two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, two counts of violating the ban on public officials acting as agents of a foreign principal, one count of conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering, and five counts of money laundering.
Interestingly, the charges and the activity date back to 2014 and continue over the next ten years culminating in the indictment a decade later. …
Cuellar and his wife are a case study in how the average federal politician gets wealthy from selling their office. All of the DC politicians participate in this type of influence selling. There are ZERO federal elected officials who do not participate in this process.
Selective enforcement. They have something on everyone, except Trump.
And within that dynamic, we find the answer to how the Intelligence Community exists to control all of the DC political systems without any checks in their authority.
One of the primary reasons the Intelligence Community was so fast to join the effort to eliminate the threat Donald Trump, represented in 2016, was specifically due to the lack of corrupt activity (IC blackmail) that could be leveraged against him. Absent the ability to control the target, the IC must create leverage.
The intelligence institutions, in collaboration with the weaponized justice institutions, created the fourth branch of government. It was this system that was fine-tuned by Barack Obama and Eric Holder to target their political opposition.
Representative Henry Cuellar is a warning to the other compromised people in Washington DC not to challenge the administrative state. The “six ways to Sunday” groups will focus on anyone who threatens the system or breaks the code of Omerta. …
If the DOJ/FBI knew this stuff [in their indictment] for so long, why did they wait?
The Praetorian Guard ruled the rulers of the Roman Empire
The Praetorian Guard was a powerful force in ancient Rome, serving as the emperor’s elite bodyguard and playing a significant role in Roman politics. While they did not directly “rule” Rome, they wielded immense influence and often held the power to decide who would ascend to the throne.
The Praetorian Guard was created by Augustus in 27 BC to protect the emperor and his family. Initially, they were a loyal and disciplined force, but over time, they became increasingly corrupt and power-hungry. They would often auction off the empire to the highest bidder, leading to a series of short-lived emperors and bloody coups.
In 193 AD, the Praetorian Guard auctioned off the empire to Didius Julianus, who became the new emperor. Later that year, Septimius Severus marched into Rome, disbanded the Guard, and established a new formation from his own Pannonian legions.
The Praetorian Guard’s influence extended beyond their role as bodyguards. They often played a significant part in the selection and deposition of emperors, and their favor was crucial for any ruler seeking to maintain power. Many emperors were murdered or deposed with Praetorian involvement, and the Guard’s power was a constant threat to imperial authority.
How is the US intelligence community not a modern day Praetorian Guard?
