Strange Deep State Bedfellows
How long can the alliance between the surveillance state and what looks like an increasingly lunatic ruling class last?
Victor Davis Hanson’s recent mordant comments about the degree to which the FBI will go to influence elections and its shameless defense of this interference caused me to think about the surveillance state’s endgame. These somber thoughts came, not incidentally, after I had immersed myself in reading about the possible (perhaps likely) CIA involvement in the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. As Jim Douglass shows in JFK and the Unspeakable, a work to which Tucker Carlson recently referred in discussing the unwillingness of the Biden Administration to release CIA documents related to the assassination, the Warren Report released in 1964 to explain the killing in Dallas was a cover-up. Kennedy, it seems, was concerned about the CIA’s largely uncontrolled exercise of power and planned to rein it in or possibly even dismantle it. Plentiful hints lead to the conclusion that the agency knew of the planned assassination and then worked to cover up evidence about its origin and participants.
If the Left was correct in warning about the dangers of national surveillance agencies throughout the Cold War, I’m not about to award any prize to my former Stalinoid classmates and teachers at Yale. Leftist journalists and politicians like George McGovern were against our surveillance agencies because they scorned them as anti-Communist. I have noted throughout my life the Left’s fondness for communist dictatorships and their opposition to U.S. efforts to unseat such grisly tyrannies. Unfortunately, the Right in turn has exaggerated the “conservatism” of surveillance agencies, and even when countervailing evidence existed, persisted in viewing those who worked for these agencies as being uniformly on the right. There was no evidence for this generalization during the Cold War, even if the CIA funded the early National Review and may have lavished largesse on James Burnham and William F. Buckley. The same agency gave even larger sums to the Congress for Cultural Freedom and other left-of-center organizations that supported its anti-Communist activities. If the FBI surveilled Martin Luther King, Jr., in the 1950s and 1960s, it was because that civil rights leader had communist advisors, and anti-communism was the big issue back then. Now surveillance agencies have switched targets and are warning against a “right-wing coup.”
I’m still trying to figure out where the close alliance between surveillance agencies and the woke Left, which has been evident since at least the Obama Administration, may lead. I have no doubt this friendship is based more on power considerations than ideological affinity.
Although John Brennan once voted for the Communist Party’s presidential candidate and James Comey’s wife and daughter were enthusiastic Hillary Clinton fans in 2016, I’m not sure the CIA and FBI will remain attached to the present Left come hell or highwater. There is no Nibelungentreue, the term drawn from Wagner’s opera and applied to the rash unconditional support the German government pledged to the Austrian monarchy on the eve of the Great War, which ties our surveillance agencies to our weird Left. Christopher Wray is not working for Adam Schiff or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Nor is there any compelling proof that the FBI cooperated with leftist-controlled electronic media to defeat Donald Trump because FBI agents are wild about the LGBTQ+ movement and Black Lives Matter. These agencies were assuring their own sphere of power by gaining the approval of those leftist ideologues in charge of the mainstream media and the administrative state.
One might ask whether a point will be reached where this alliance is no longer useful and when the surveillance state will have to act against onetime allies. Is it really in the interest of those who are trying to exercise power to remain permanently allied to dotty people who are subverting social order and running down public institutions? I’m not posing this as a moral question for those who give no signs of being ethical. My question is purely pragmatic. Do you really want as partners those who use the military to push gender reassignment and incite hatred against white Americans? What about cultivating allies who allow our borders to...

Ron DeSantis Offered to Give Libs of TikTok Safe Refuge at the Florida Mansion After She Was Doxxed
Raichik, who reposts embarrassing and revealing material from left-wing TikTok users onto Twitter, shared this interesting news during an extended interview with Tucker Carlson for Fox News Nation.
For the past year, Libs of TikTok has focused on a disturbing trend in education and popular culture—the push to expose children to sexually explicit gender ideology propaganda. This has made her a top enemy of the vicious LGBTQ-Democrat-Media complex, and is why it was so important for her to maintain her anonymity
Raichik was forced to go into hiding in April after “technology and online culture” reporter Taylor Lorenz released her name and address in a Washington Post exposé, arguing that Libs of TikTok had become a “powerful force on the Internet, shaping right-wing media, impacting anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and influencing millions by posting viral videos aimed at inciting outrage among the right.”
During the interview, Carlson asked if anyone had reached out to support her at the time.
“When I was doxxed, someone from Ron DeSantis’ team called me,” Raichick replied.
“And she said the governor wanted me to give you a message. He said, if you don’t feel safe or you or your family, if you need a place to go, to hide, to stay here, you can come to the governor’s mansion. That we have a guest house for you and you can come and stay as long as you need.”
“The governor of Florida?!” a stunned Carlson asked.
“Yes. I can’t even, I was almost in tears—the governor of Florida! Like he has nothing bigger to do,” she responded. “I’m living in California and he took time out of his, I’m assuming extremely busy schedule. And to send someone to call me to make sure I’m safe,” Raichik replied, adding that she was “so grateful” that DeSantis had reached out to her.
At the time, the Florida governor’s then-spokeswoman Christine Pushaw blasted Lorenz for her hypocrisy.
“Taylor Lorenz is a crybully,” Pushaw tweeted on April 18. “She can dish it out but can’t take any criticism. The worst of the worst in journalism, and there is a lot of...

El Salvador’s Most Wanted was Illegal Alien Living in Virginia
Open borders have consequences.
Open borders have consequences: they feed votes to pro-illegal alien pols while creating havens for criminals. A recent update by ICE is a reminder of how bad the open borders crime crisis is.
Deportation officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Washington, D.C. field office arrested a Salvadoran fugitive, who is listed as one of El Salvador’s top 100 most wanted criminals. ERO Washington D.C. apprehended Herberth Bonilla-Garcia, 40, during a targeted operation in Manassas, Virginia Dec. 1.So much for those removals. When there’s no border security, removals are meaningless. Anyone with the funds and resources to try again can get back into America.
Bonilla-Garcia previously entered the U.S. at least twice on an unknown date, at an unknown location without, and without having been admitted or paroled by a designated immigration official. He was previously removed from the U.S. in both 2006 and 2012.
This cat-and-mouse chase with foreign criminals is aided and abetted by pro-crime sanctuary cities and states.
ERO Los Angeles Officers apprehended Luciano Trejo-Dominguez, 31, during a targeted enforcement operation in the city of Santa Ana, California. A Newark, New Jersey immigration judge ordered Trejo, one of ICE’s 10 most wanted fugitives, removed on October 5, 2021.Will he be back? Almost as certain as Arnold Schwartzenegger will do another ad incorporating one of his catchphrases. And Americans will go on paying the price for the demographic transformation of...
Trejo is also the subject of an arrest warrant issued by the sheriff’s office in Bridgeton, New Jersey, for failure to appear related to an aggravated sexual assault offense involving a victim 13 to 15 years old.
Trejo originally came to ERO’s attention in Aug. 2018, while he was incarcerated for contempt of court in the Cumberland County Jail in Portland, Maine.
ERO encountered Trejo again in 2019 while he was in the Vineland Police Department’s custody for assault. Following his release from the Vineland Police Department’s custody, he was taken into ICE custody. He was later granted an immigration bond and released from ICE custody. An immigration detainer was issued for Trejo again Aug. 13, 2019, following his arrest the previous day by Vineland Police Department for aggravated sexual assault. That detainer was not honored.
Trejo was returned to his home country of Mexico Dec. 9.
