The “Atlanticist” Subset Of The National Security State Deeply Concerned With The Rise Of Populism

Darren Beattie critiques a specific faction within the National Security State, which he refers to as “Atlanticists,” who are focused on the Atlantic region and its geopolitics, including Ukraine and energy matters like the Nord Stream pipeline. Beattie argues that this group also views the rise of populism, particularly the movements that led to Brexit and Donald Trump’s election, as a threat to their geopolitical order. To counter this, they allegedly employed “color revolution” tactics, traditionally used to destabilize foreign governments, against Trump and his supporters, framing them as national security threats.

Beattie also questions the effectiveness and premise of democracy if it can be so easily subverted by foreign propaganda, implying that these concerns are exaggerated and mask deeper issues within American society. He suggests that the real threats are domestic, with American culture itself being a source of political and social toxicity. Beattie links this to figures like Norm Eisen, whom he accuses of spearheading legal efforts to undermine Trump, drawing parallels between domestic and foreign policy as extensions of the same internal conflicts.

Benz: The Push To Amend The Constitution Is The “Re-Upping” Of The Transition Integrity Project

Mike Benz argues that the current discussions in major media outlets about potential constitutional crises in upcoming elections are rooted in the “Transition Integrity Project” from 2020. This project, led by former Obama administration official Rosa Brooks, simulated scenarios to prevent a hypothetical Trump coup if he refused to leave office. Benz highlights that one of the simulations focused on removing Trump from office even if he won the Electoral College, suggesting the plan was to use civil unrest, media narratives, and even threats of secession to delegitimize the election results. He believes these strategies are being revived for the 2024 election, laying the groundwork for possible extra-constitutional actions if needed.

Additionally, Benz connects these tactics to broader U.S. foreign policy practices, where the State Department influences censorship in other countries to suppress opposition to its agenda, citing Brazil as a recent example. He views these actions as part of a larger strategy where domestic and foreign policies are intertwined, using censorship to maintain power.

Von Storch: “They Tried To Label Us [AfD] Far Right” So They Aren’t Forced To Argue With Us

Beatrix Von Strosch discusses the recent election results in Germany, where the anti-immigration party AfD (Alternative for Germany) achieved significant victories. She challenges the mainstream media’s portrayal of these results as a rise in extremism and the far right. Von Strosch argues that labeling AfD as far right is a desperate attempt by the political establishment to avoid engaging with the party’s arguments, particularly on issues like the migration crisis and the impact of Islam on German society.

She criticizes the governing coalition of the Greens, Social Democrats, and Free Democrats for being weak and ideologically driven, failing to address the concerns of the electorate. According to Von Strosch, AfD’s success reflects a broader shift in German public opinion, with voters increasingly supporting parties with hardline immigration stances, including a new populist formation on the left. She believes this marks a significant change in German politics, signaling the potential end of Olaf Scholz’s leadership as the government runs out of arguments and options.

CCP Influence Ops In US A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM: FBI Would Rather Go After J6ers

Derrek Harvey and Ben Harnwell discuss the significant threat posed by Chinese infiltration in the U.S., highlighting the extensive counterintelligence operations conducted by China. They emphasize that China’s strategy includes leveraging individuals of Chinese descent, whether born in the U.S. or abroad, and actively recruiting sources to gain influence and access to sensitive information. They criticize the FBI for not prioritizing this threat adequately, arguing that resources are misallocated, such as focusing on lesser priorities like pursuing January 6 participants instead of addressing Chinese espionage.

Harvey and Harnwell also highlight the influence tactics employed by China, such as offering financial incentives and luxurious trips to American officials, which are not acts of goodwill but strategic moves to secure long-term influence. They point out that despite numerous briefings by the FBI to various institutions, warnings about Chinese infiltration are often ignored. They argue that better resource allocation and political will, rather than new legislation, are needed to effectively counter this growing threat.

Congress Is A SCAM: Use BillBlaster To Hold Your Worthless Republican Representatives Accountable

Ben Harnwell and Grace Chong discussed the importance of Americans holding their representatives accountable, especially regarding the passage of appropriation bills and the SAVE Act. They criticized Congress for waiting until the last minute to push through continuing resolutions (CRs) and highlighted the need for constant pressure from citizens. Harnwell emphasized using the “Bill Blaster” app, which allows users to quickly contact their representatives with a single touch, as a tool for making their voices heard.

The app has been well-received by the WarRoom Posse, and Chong mentioned that they are working on an updated version that will include information on recent bills and representatives’ voting records. Harnwell and Chong urged Americans to use the app to consistently call their representatives, stressing that collective action could significantly impact legislation. The app is available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
