Senator Rand Paul recently revealed an interesting, albeit jarring, fact about Congressional oversight of the intelligence community in D.C. Senator Paul explained that only eight members of Congress, four from the House Permanent Select Intelligence Committee (HPSIC) and four from the Senate Select Intelligence Committee (SSIC), are privy to the activities of the CIA and the FBI.
So in a broader sense, these eight congressmen are essential to the “Deep State,” acting as its gatekeepers where legislation for these sensitive authorities can be loosely construed. Paying closer attention to these eight congressmen may lend insight into the deep state that average Americans do not enjoy.
Currently, the pecking order is as follows: the House Permanent Select Intelligence Committee (HPSIC) Chair is Representative Rick Crawford (R-AR) and Vice-Chair is Representative Trent Kelly (R-MI), along with the House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).
The Senate Select Intelligence Committee (SSIC) Chair is Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Vice-Chair is Senator Mark Warner (R-VA), joined by Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
Besides the Chair and Vice-chair, there are16 members of the 2026 SSIC, eight Republicans and eight Democrats as follows:
Chairman Tom Cotton (R-AR), James Risch (R-ID), Susan Collins (R-ME) John Cornyn (R-TX), Jerry Moran (R-KS), James Lankford (R-OK), M. Michael Rounds (R-SD), Todd Young (R-IN), Ted Budd (R-NC), Vice-Chairman Mark Warner (D-VA), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), Angus King Jr (D-ME), Michael Bennet (D-CO), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Jon Ossoff (D-GA), Mark Kelly (D-AZ).

In addition to the Chair and Vice-Chair, the 2026 HPAIC members include 13 Republicans and 11 Democrats as follows:
Chairman Erik A. “Rick” Crawford (R-AR) Chair, Vice-Chairman Trent Kelly (R-MI) Vice-Chair, Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Darin Lahood (R-IL), Brian K. Fitzpatrick (R- PA), Austin Scott (R-GA), J French Hill (R-AR), Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), Scott Perry (R-PA), Ronny Jackson (R-TX), Ann Wagner (R-MO), Ben Cline (R-VA), W. Gregory Stuebe (R-FL), Claudia Tenney (R-NY), Pat Fallon (R-TX), James Himes (D-CT), Andre Carson (D-IN), Joaquin Castro (D-TX); Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), Jason Crow (D-CO) Ami Bera (D-CT), Stacey E. Plackett (D-VI), Josh Gottheimer (D-NK), Jimmy Gomez (D-CA), Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), Mike Quigley (D-IL) Steve Cohen (D-TN)

The HPAIC includes the following six Subcommittees:
Central Intelligence Agency Subcommittee: Brian Kirkpatrick, Chair and Darin LaHood, Vice-Chair
Defense Intelligence and Overhead Architecture Subcommittee: Dan Crenshaw, Chair
National Intelligence Enterprise Subcommittee: Austin Scott, Chair
National Security Agency and Cyber Subcommittee: Darin LaHood, Chair
Open Source Intelligence Subcommittee: Ann Wagner, Chair
Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee: Ronny Jackson, Chair
The SSIC was established in 1976 and appears to have no official Subcommittees. Its open meetings are mostly nomination hearings, meaning not a lot of obvious access for sharing at its website.
The point of the Senator Paul's revelation is that, in the real world, our sorry cache of representatives do not possess a scintilla of working knowledge relative to our government’s most serious activities and/or expenditures, specifically of the CIA's or FBI's missions/operations in pursuit of its tasks, let alone potential hidden agendas. It begs the question: What else don't they know?
Despite this vacuum of accountability across the administrative board, with its simultaneous provision for congressional plausible deniability, legislatures in bunker mentality, consistently and nearly unanimously approve every massive dark budget request without an inkling as to what the money is used for, let alone efficacy relative to outcomes. And never mind whether such things as pesky merits and morals, or lack thereof, ever enter into any of it.
Government Fraud Scandals Are Not Happening in a Vacuum
I have to wonder if any of those betting websites have conjured odds for the current tranches of fraud in the tax-funded-benefits game being directly plugged into NGOs, charitable foundations, et al, as laundering sources for black operations occurring domestically and worldwide?
Nothing else under the sun explains the astronomical amounts of money missing every year but for collusion by practiced insiders. A cabal of systemic offenders with the proper access and distribution practically begs to be implemented with so little oversight and zero accountability.
All these opportunists need is the continuous source of money provided by the government treasury via agencies, and seasoned money launderers masquerading as NGO benefactors, charitable foundations, and benefits service providers, who uncannily make mega volumes of money disappear using distribution networks (another name for colluding banks and other financial swine).
There is no way this level of financial fraud is happening without a whole lot of insider enabling. It certainly explains why nothing ever comes against such blatant criminal conduct. It is because every player in this particular fiendish game gets his/her big along the way. Its old fashioned syndicate style heisting.
The biggest clue pointing to insider collusion is that, even if discovered, there is no law enforcement, no prosecution, no penalties, no imprisonment, or even restitution. Hell, many of these schemes continue unabated because they can.
Every player is silly-comfortable in this highly lucrative, lowest-risk scamming game ever, because statistically there is less than one tenth of one percent chance of getting caught! Additionally, according to witness testimony during a recent Senate Homeland Security Hearing on Fraud, this insane lack of systemic fraud prevention has moved from scamming millions of tax dollars to billions, and is now on a faster track to scamming trillions.
This blind protocol of Congress legislatively appropriating huge sums of money to agencies every year, who, in turn, allocate these funds using archaic, unreliable systems, requiring no verification, reporting, expenditure registers, performance measures – nada.
These public funding processes are every bit as absurd and derelict as banning our nation's election officials, as well as voters, from access to the contents of contracts between election systems vendors and state election officials. The Secretary of State has limited access to the systems, but county election officials and the public are completely banned from examining any of it, therefore from being able to investigate and definitively prove whether vulnerabilities do or don't exist in election equipment hardware and software.
This is due to vendors' claims of proprietary interests – interests that should be moot, entirely irrelevant in deference to the primacy of the public's interest by any vendor providing such a critical public service. In that spirit, just prior to leaving office, President Obama declared elections under the umbrella of the Country's cybersecurity infrastructure.
In other words, this ridiculous and inexplicable 'no access' policy provides no remedy, no path to restore confidence and trust in elections precisely because we are not permitted to properly investigate/examine the physical election system hardware and software to make our case for or against these critical infrastructure systems.
Going forward, the burden of proof for election system vulnerabilities must now necessarily shift to the vendors, and to election officials to the degree they are complicit in contracting for improperly vetted systems, as is the case with equipment certified by the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), an agency now proven to be deficient in determining secure election equipment and software.
In other words, it is no longer a reasonable expectation for courts to expect citizens to prove their election systems are not secure and accurate, that vulnerabilities do exist, when they are not legally permitted to examine the equipment hardware or software. Therefore, the standard must fall to the vendors to unequivocally prove there are no vulnerabilities in their systems, and that election outcomes are provably secure. It is no longer remotely enough to merely claim it. Silly tests like Logic and Accuracy no longer suffice. The Logic and Accuracy Test of one or two ballot tabulators, out of a fleet of tabulators, is vendor driven, preset by the vendor, and designed for monkeys … to execute versus observe!
A Much-Needed Blast from the Past – 75 Videos from News Segments on Past Medical Events to Inform Our Current Medical Events Relative to Viruses, Vaccines, and Disease
Excerpt from “Vaccine Amnesia: 75 Forgotten News Segments That Could Never Air Today” by A Midwestern Doctor, from “The Forgotten Side of Medicine,” Substack, July 26, 2026
“This is the inescapable problem at the heart of mass vaccination. When you take a product that is not completely safe and give it to an entire population, tens of millions of healthy people, most of whom were never at meaningful risk from the disease, even a small rate of serious harm guarantees that enormous numbers are injured or killed. Since there is no way around that arithmetic the authorities have chosen concealment every time, suppressing the data, reclassifying the injuries, and dismissing each casualty as a coincidence, because the alternative is admitting the paradigm itself produces the ever-increasing wave of chronic illness sweeping our society.”
The list of the 75 forgotten news segments listed in this remarkable, video-rich Substack article includes Media Censorship, Mass Censorship (we censored ourselves!), Medical Censorship, Extensive Vaccines Reporting, and much more. This is a treasure of a post for its historical capture of media coverage of these subjects, alone. Readers won't agree with everything, but the information is diverse enough to spark all age discussions, and hopefully we will learn something that moves our own dial a bit.

The COVID-19 Deception Is Finally Bubbling Up Toward the Sun
Senator Rand Paul, as Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, held a whistleblower hearing on May 13, 2026, on the cover-up of the origins of COVID19. The controversy has always been whether COVID-19 is the result of a zoonotic event (jumping from animal to human), or the result of a man-made lab creation using gain-of-function for transmitting from human to human.
Whistleblower and Decorated Senior CIA Officer James Erdman III is one more unsung hero for coming forward, while still employed with the CIA no less, with need-to info that further lifts the veil on the then-Director of the National Health Institute's Allergies and Infectious Disease (NAID), Dr. Anthony Fauci's deceptions relative to COVID-19. This only further indicts him, along with a closed circular group that included, among others, FDA, NIH, CDC, CIA and the Director of National Intelligence Office (DNI), and the various parts each played against the public's interest relative to COVID-19.
From May 2025 thru April 2026, Officer Erdman was on joint assignment for then-Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's Director's Initiative Group (DIG). He investigated how the CIA downplayed their failure to follow policy in sharing their findings regarding the cover-up of the origins of COVID-19.
Senator Paul revealed that the DNI employs an internal specialized team called the Biological Sciences Experts Group (B-SEG) that provides counsel to the intelligence community, and gathers independent subject matter experts on biological threats for intelligence research and reports.
B-SEG was tasked with gathering experts to provide scientific input relative to the origins of COVID-19 for a report being generated by the National Intelligence Council for a Senate investigation into the possible cover-up of the origins of COVID-19, promulgated by Dr Anthony Fauci during his oversight of the COVID-19 pandemic beginning in 2020 and lasting through 2023.
Senator Paul further explained that B-SEG improperly participated in this specific counsel by not disclosing that two of its members were Ralph Baric of Chapel Hill, and Peter Dayzak of EcoHealth, both of whom were funded by Dr Fauci and directly involved in gain-of-function experimentation. Both are suspected of participating directly in the creation of the chimeric SARS2 virus that triggers COVID-19, rendering their participation entirely inappropriate.
Furthermore, Dr Fauci provided the list of “curated” compliant scientists for the CIA and DNI inspectors to interview for their report. The NIC's final anemic five-page report, synthesized from over at least 2,000-plus pages of relevant documentation, was inevitably found to be egregiously false.
You can watch the whistleblower hearing at the link below. It is important to note that not a single Democrat Senator attended this hearing. It is one thing to stand on principle, it is entirely another thing to abandon principle, allowing partisan politics to trump basic responsible, honorable governance, literally. When it involves life and death issues that both Republicans and Democrats are expected to help resolve, who gives a fig about Trump?

Finally, the infamous Senate Fauci hearing was scheduled for Wednesday, July 29, 2026, Senator Paul has released Fauci's papers, misleadingly dubbed “Fauci's Diary,” documents obtained thru legal means as part of the Senate investigation into the origins of COVID-19.
Fauci's Diary Is No Diary, But Will Be Fauci's Undoing
All the papers disclosed by Senator Paul were created as part of Dr Fauci's professional activities and recordings as Director of National Institute of Health's Allergies and Infectious Disease (NAID). Because the compilation of Fauci's papers, while surprisingly revealing, are by no means part of his personal diary, below is a sensible explanation of what Congress is authorized to collect during investigations, and what they are not entitled to. USAHousingInformation.com provides clarity for what the Fauci Diary really is, not what it is being described as.
“The phrase 'Fauci’s diary' became popular because it offers a simple, attention-grabbing way to describe records documenting Dr. Anthony Fauci’s day-to-day professional activities. However, the term can be misleading because the materials are not necessarily a personal diary containing private thoughts, emotions, or reflections.
“Instead, references to 'Fauci’s diary' generally concern government records connected to his official work. These can include emails, calendars, meeting schedules, internal memoranda, research-related discussions, and administrative communications created or maintained during his time in government.
“Understanding this distinction is important. Calling the records a 'diary' may suggest a private journal, while the underlying materials are better understood as official records documenting Fauci’s professional communications, meetings, and government activities.
“The records reviewed by Senator Rand Paul and other lawmakers were obtained through established legal processes, including congressional oversight, Senate committee investigations, FOIA requests, and agency disclosures. There is no evidence that the documents were acquired through unauthorized access, hacking, or other illegal means. The phrase 'Fauci’s diary' is simply a popular label used in public discussion and does not refer to a private personal journal.
“A personal diary or journal typically contains an individual’s private thoughts, experiences, opinions, and reflections. Such material is generally created for personal use rather than as part of someone’s official government responsibilities.
“Government records are different. They are documents created, received, or maintained in connection with official duties and public business. Depending on applicable laws and procedures, these records may be reviewed through congressional oversight, litigation, agency investigations, or public-records requests. Examples can include official emails, calendars, meeting schedules, memoranda, administrative correspondence, and policy-related communications.”

Institutions are Gaining on Individuals
What happens when institutions outlast elected offices? Power shifts perceptibly. The numero uno red-hot signal governments are going rogue is mass surveillance of the population, whether via the private sector or its own tech, mass surveillance without a warrant, guardrails, or consent of the governed, is always a dead give away that a government has become ill intended and no longer serves the peoples' good.
Instead, it has tuned its Soron Eye to its own survival – its “Continuity!” In fact, the long-range protocol for government survival is titled Continuity of Government (COG) and is best understood during officially declared emergencies, when the first order of business is to suspend the U.S. and State Constitutions. It is a declaration of carte blanche to violate people's rights at will and needs repealing asap as an existential threat to the American Republic.

FEMA.gov/sites/default/files/documents/fema_federal-continuity-directive-planning-framework.pdf
Nothing in the U.S. or State Constitutions permit such an overarching, treasonously treacherous violation of rights. Nor have any amendments been adopted permitting such an usurpation of power and presumptive authority by politicians and bureaucrats!
Mass Surveillance Is the Drop-Dead Signal Government Has Gone Rogue
The break-neck speed at which Flock cameras are going up should trigger at least some curiosity about what this spy craft is capable of. According to citizen investigators and constitutional police officers, the capabilities are off the charts invasive and go far beyond license plate readers.
Flock cameras also record facial recognition, every detail about your car down to the dent in the door, as well as listening tech that records everything in a specific radius around it, including conversations in nearby residences, on the adjacent streets, heat signals that inform body counts inside residences, in the neighborhood at large, and a host of other private readings, evidenced by the camera's constant emission of hundreds, perhaps thousands, detectable signals at all times indicating recording.
Where this recorded data is unknown, but a reasonable guess would be data centers. Who the recorded data is shared with is considered proprietary and unavailable to those who the recordings include. I simply can't fathom how this tech would be acceptable to any of you, under any circumstances, on principle alone. It is so objectively intrusive, it arguably borders on illegal.
Meanwhile Flock has serious competition, Axon, shuttering its way into this creepy voyeur's market. It's a definite player and well funded. Don't be surprised if Axon gobbles Flock to become the next corporate oligarchy in bed with our government controligarchy.
But I digress. Thanks to lawfare, continuity of government is planted deep into the nomenclature and blueprint for the future, including a potential hostile takeover by government because our Constitution simply cannot be dismantled without the consent of the people via amendment.
Even with a hostile takeover, our Constitution remains the law of the land. Nothing but a ratified amendment can legally change that immutable truth. But rigging a nationwide vote to ratify a Constitutional Amendment that calls for the suspension, elimination, or revision of the Constitution, could feasibly neuter it, like putting it on a shelf to collect dust. It is not destroyed, but it is inactive. Especially with the brainless division afoot today that could derail the rigorous evidence-based challenges by Americans necessary to expose such rigging. A Constitutional coup is not unimaginable, and no less heartbreaking.
The good news is that if ever discovered, the rigged amendment would immediately be voided, instantly restoring the Constitution as the law of the land. The U.S. Constitution truly is the Achilles Heel, the deeply rooted obstacle for globalists to overcome.
Who's Ultimately Responsible for the Country's Decline?
Perhaps we the people deserve to lose what could be a transformative future of peace and much good. Freedom and individual equality must be protected and defended when in jeopardy.
Yet we the people not only cowered like pitiful sissies and cuks during CV19. We were hostile toward those who didn’t, those who questioned all the destruction occurring around us with CV19 and the dangerous experimental mRNA injections.
Nor did we stop to consider perspectives other than the mainstream media narrative that decided for us whether a million-plus people in D.C. on January 6, 2021, were actual insurrectionists or innocent bystanders, of whom 1,600 were later accused to distract from a highly sinister fedsurrection that took place under our noses in order to expedite the bicameral session taking place that afternoon to count the electoral votes for president.
The disruption of approximately 200 largely peaceful people inside the Capitol allowed the leadership to call the election for Biden without the required traditional protocols required by the process, such as allowing challenges on a state-by-state basis. There is no redeeming that lost opportunity to learn if there was anything to the 10 states' pending challenges that were set aside, nor is there any reasonable explanation for why those rules weren't followed even though order had been entirely restored.
The America Republic's Cherished Principles and Doctrines Are Eroding
Since January 6, 2021, Americans have witnessed the Separation of Powers Doctrine fail more and more at the federal level because (a) it always looks out for federal interests first. It’s like having your next door neighbor’s dad decide a dispute between you and that neighbor. He will rule in favor of his child over you more often than not. And (b) Federal District and Appellate courts, especially D.C. courts, have engaged in reckless partisan contortions of lawfare, proving themselves dispensers of disjustice, misjustice, and maljustice.
Furthermore, all this inorganic extreme partisan division begs a larger observation: Democrat Socialists are arguably just rebranded national socialists (Nazis), better known as Fascists, or Communists, or Monarchists, or Representative Democratists. Pick one, because they are stunningly similar. It baffles me that the heavy hitters winning elections in the current DSA are oligarchy millionaires and billionaires out of the gate. For my part, that movement smacks of a musical-chairs agenda if ever there was one.
Say what you will, these traditional governance models are structured basically the same: Government controligarchs in bed with corporate oligarchs for exactly the same outcomes; dominion over economies, resources, wealth, and ultimate power. Where on this planet is there a country that does not employ this overarching model of a precious few Haves and zillions of Have-Nots?
America has the bones to be a distinctly different, far more just and equitable governance model, thanks to its founding Constitution. Certainly not a rebranded version of historically failed government models. The key variable in America’s model is its emphasis on the people’s oversight, without which the model not only fails, the people’s silent consent enables corruption in greater measures of magnitude as large scale complicity.
Put more plainly, our country's decline is absolutely our fault, 'We the Do-Nothing People' have become political delinquents, low information botheads preferring to indulge incoherent, media-driven, mostly factless, emoting versus rationale debate and analysis, beefed up with reliable, compelling evidence from all sides of arguments.
What exactly is the downside of showing respect by listening and engaging without emotionally discharging? The upside is possibly finding your way to resolution, for a change.
A List of Non-Negotiable Principles Required for America's Constitutional Republic to Thrive for All Participants (Please Feel Free to Add Your Own)
* Human rights come from God not government;
* Life is precious and designed, if left to itself, to thrive;
* The Primacy of the Individual requires that all humans are created equal, each individual entitled to the pursuit of happiness, secure in body, spirit, and possessions;
* Freedom of expression (thought, speech, authorship), association, worship, vocation)
* Property ownership with privacy that includes personal property and papers;
* Contracts containing deception are null and void and unenforceable, whether in the private or public sector. If the deception is deliberate then offending parties can be sued for damages due to harm. No blanket immunity for government personnel with liability adjusted based on risk.
* Presumption of Innocence;
* Justice by equal treatment of every individual under the rule of law;
* Transparency in all government affairs (federal state local), with rare exceptions for sensitive national security versus random agency policy. Whistleblowers are entitled to all possible protections and renumeration.
* All legislation must be separated and simplified into individual understandable bills and each legislator’s vote on it recorded and made public in real time, including all influences such sponsors, lobbyists (for and against), authors of the legislation, beneficiaries and opposition due to potential negative impacts, et al.
* Mandatory implementation of modernized accounting systems for every sector of every department in each agency, and throughout the legislative and judicial branches' departments, that include the capacity to track and post for public consumption all daily transactions and expenditures in real time, with links to relevant documentation, including contracts, authorizations, descriptions, purpose(s) and continuous updated performance measurements and scoring, with weekly and monthly comprehensive reports for compliance.
* Propagandizing Americans by media and public sector officials is strictly prohibited, considered a high-crime punishable by fines and mandatory imprisonment;
* Decentralized elections with paper ballots cast on Election Day except in rare cases, then counted in each precinct upon polls closing;
* National Currency returned to gold standard, minted by the people via Congress as originally constitutionally devised, eliminating debt-centric private central banking management. This includes prohibiting government-managed digital transacting as a replacement for fiat (unbacked) currency;
* Corporations are not persons;
* Capitalism is strictly an economic model, not a governance model, requiring competition unimpeded by government intervention, without which Capitalism is essentially corrupted and not capitalism at all. Anti-Trust laws must be respected and strictly enforced to ensure competition is not compromised by the relentless unholy alliances between government’s controligarchs and corporations' oligarchs that have captured economies worldwide, using excessive funding from public treasuries, variances from regulations, imposition of regulations too onerous for smaller competitors, often specifically designed to force them out of the market. These practices prevail regardless of countries’ declared governance models.
