Are We Living in a Democracy?
Segment # 167
The probability of events happening is usually a reasonable approach to assessing plausibility. We have had several coincidental events, which, noted, could get you branded as a racist, terrorist, or maybe just a far-right MAGA deplorable. Having been given a mind for rational thought, all we can do is stay informed and make assessments for ourselves. I label many events of the past six years as purposeful. The more interesting question is always - Why?
In 2017, Fauci made public statements that the Trump administration would face a pandemic before the end of his first term. How in the world could he have made such an outrageous statement? Given all that we have covered and the self-serving, incompetent management of the virus done by him and Dr. Birx, it is more than tempting to speculate. We know now through emails, congressional testimony, and government documentation, that Fauci was certainly a primary force behind the gain of function research that ultimately resulted in the Wuhan lab leak.

It is all too cute, too coincidental, and too convenient to not take the government-medical establishment and the Biden Administration seriously. I am convinced they will do almost anything to remain in power. Your guide.. see what they are accusing Trump and the right of doing, and that’s precisely what are doing and will do in the future.
Transition Integrity Project - The Tucker Carlson Encounter: J. Michael Waller
In the summer of 2020, a group called The Transition Integrity Project met with a goal of determining the very worst outcome of the upcoming presidential election. Their final assessment, printed in the Washington Post, said a Donald Trump victory would be the end of the country. Their message was clear: Don't dare vote for Trump.
David Frum, who's some sort of loud Canadian. So you can kind of get a sense of what these were like, these meetings. So here was the assessment of what they found. This is Rosa Brooks describing it. We're quoting a landslide for Joe Biden resulted in a relatively orderly transfer of power. Every other scenario we looked at involves street level violence and political crisis. That's not a threat, though, she went on. And we're quoting, with the exception of the big Biden win scenario, each of our exercises reached the brink of catastrophe, with massive disinformation campaigns, violence in the streets and a constitutional impasse. End quote. Again, not a threat at all. Elect our guy, or America falls apart and people die. That's just a result of social science. That's what we found. So they said the Transition Tech Group project said that their goal was to find out the very worst thing that could happen in a presidential election. And the assessment was clear. You could not allow Donald Trump to win or else America would end. So the Washington Post, owned by the richest man in the world, Jeff Bezos, dutifully printed these results in September 2020, two months before the election. Just to give you a sense of what this was really about. But what was it really about? And will this project and this kind of thinking and the people who pulled it off have any effect on the coming presidential election? Well, J. Michael Waller has thought a lot about this. He once worked for the CIA. He knows a lot about the Intel world having been part of it. He's a senior analyst for strategy at the Center for Security Policy, the author of a new book called Big Intel. And we're happy to have him join us now to unpack the Transition Integrity Project. Thank you so much.
J. Michael Waller [00:12:17] They'll have 100 pieces of litigation ready to go out the door during the presidential transition. To hamstring him. To hamstring all his appointees. They have their allies inside the government to slow walk security clearances to make sure that his appointees who don't have clearances cannot get clearances. He'll be a one term president. So the bureaucracy knows. Just ride it out. Just drag things as slowly as you can and make things as hard as you can. And then and then shop for the, the right judicial venues to make sure that you get a court circuit that will rule favorably in your case. So just think, when you're a Washington insider at Georgetown Law School and your husband was on the Supreme Court staff, you're networked across the Justice Department, your network, among the judges, you know everyone. They're your friends, right? They're your social circles. Of course they're going to help you.
Tucker [00:28:18] But I think for most of us who weren't paying super close attention, even though I've been around it a lot, just living in Washington, knowing people who work there, I don't think most people really understood that the Intel agencies play in domestic elections. They're subverting elections around the world. They're stopping democracy to save democracy in other countries, which is we probably should have paid more attention to that. But I don't think most people I know ever imagined the CIA would have the brass to try to influence an American presidential election, or the FBI would ever do that.
Because their biggest case in FBI history is rounding up people who are being charged with nothing more than misdemeanors. Forget the felons being charged. Right on misdemeanor counts. You don't. That's not what the FBI was for, to hunt down people for misdemeanors. But you're now raiding people's homes for what, you know, unauthorized assembly and, you know, unlawful parading and trespassing, and you're running Swat teams against them, and you're wrecking their families, and you're wrecking their reputations and their lives over Mr. Mike. Misdemeanors. This is the FBI's biggest case, and it's January 6th in its entire history. So you have agents, and you had some of them here with you who have who have been pulled off, you know, child sex trafficking cases and counterintelligence cases going after foreign spies. Know now to round up misdemeanor people.
Tucker [00:38:45] And it seems pretty clear that was the intelligence's doing that. Yeah. Do you think that's possible?
J. Michael Waller [00:38:51] I would have thought it was crazy. I was I was at the Capitol that day. I was on the Senate side. So I live on Capitol Hill. And I thought, well, I'm just going to walk over. And I was kind of bummed because, you know, our country is going to change forever now. And we thought, well, let's just go one last time and see real Americans, you know, and yeah, so we just went because I'd been to tons of these different protests. And I know the Capitol Police really well because they're my neighbors. Yes. And we were three blocks behind the leaders of the group because we just happened to walk into it on, on Constitution Avenue. And I heard something's wrong. The hurricane fence is gone. There are no canine units for the Capitol Police. There's no Capitol Police visibility at all. And just follow the crowd right up to the Capitol. And it was a pro-police crowd, and there was no trouble until it was either the Capitol Police or the DC Metro police who started firing tear gas and flashbangs into the crowd, you know, 50, 60, 80ft away from where there was trouble. And we didn't know there was trouble up in the front.
