Something very profound happened in the U.S. on December 21 with the passage of President Donald Trump’s “Executive Order Blocking the Property of Persons Involved in Serious Human Rights Abuse or Corruption”. The order declared a state of national emergency concerning human rights and corruption, and named specific individuals and organizations that would have their bank accounts and assets frozen regardless of where in the world the abuses had occurred.
This has been especially significant when it came to the Central Intelligence Agency which has long been the key U.S. institution in funding and enforcing the will of the Deep State. In particular, the CIA’s Clandestine Services and Counterintelligence divisions were instrumental in creating an unofficial “black budget” for funding highly classified projects and operations ever since the CIA’s creation in 1947. These two branches of the CIA have long been the secret enforcers of Deep State as best illustrated in the Kennedy Assassination. James Jesus Angleton, chief of the CIA’s Counterintelligence office, played a direct role, while Richard Helms (Deputy Director of Plans) provided covert support for the operation.

It really is worth the time to read the article. It is jam packed with names and situations at the time. Very good for a refresher.
Also a note of interest, if you scroll to the bottom where it says "Further Reading," you made notice a very familiar link if you are an old timer around here.
There is so much in that article it is bound to ring different bells with many of you.
Again, LINK TO FULL ARTICLE
HUMAN GENOME MAPPING SHOULD TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER GENE SEQUENCING,
Industrial Biotechnology Association President Richard Godown told a hearing of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee's research and development subcommittee Sept. 17.
In testimony to the subcommittee, J&J Director for Advanced Technology Jack McConnell asserted: "If we want the U.S. to maintain its position as a dominant force in the pharmaceutical industry in the world, I cannot imagine our letting this opportunity pass us by."
White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Deputy Director-designate Thomas Rona, citing the potential of genome mapping in identifying genes implicated in inherited diseases, said the map of the entire genome should be the highest priority among S 1480's three proposed initiatives. Rona also maintained that DOE should be the lead federal agency for the project.
Dr. McConnell co-invented the tine test, used for the detection of tuberculosis, and participated in the early stages of the development of the polio vaccine. He then joined McNeil Laboratories where he directed the development of Tylenol tablets. Subsequently, he moved to the headquarters of Johnson & Johnson as Corporate Director for Advanced Technology.
In 1987, Dr. McConnell helped Sen. Pete Domenici write the bill authorizing the Human Genome Project. He also worked closely with J. Craig Venter and the Institute for Genomic Research on the business and ethical issues associated with genomic study.
Dr. Jack Baylor McConnell (1925-2018)
...Dr. McConnell formed a team that created the first commercial Magnetic Resonance Imaging system in the United States.
Creating a "spiritual base" for the clinic also was an important goal. One morning, after reading and meditating with his wife, McConnell came up with the clinic's vision statement, which is now prominently displayed on a wall in the examination area:
May we have eyes to see those rendered invisible and excluded, open arms and hearts to reach out and include them, healing hands to touch their lives with love, and in the process, heal ourselves.
Thomas P. Rona (1923–1997) was a 1980s era science advisor to the Defense Department and the White House under Presidents Reagan and Bush.
Dr. Rona is also credited by some with coining the term of Information War or warfare which he used in a report entitled "Weapon Systems and Information War" delivered to Boeing in 1976. He worked in Seattle, Washington for the Boeing Company from 1959 to 1984.
When Rona left government service, he did private consulting work in the general area of Information Warfare for companies such as Aegis Research Corporation then headquartered in Rosslyn, Virginia.
"Information Operations, Information Warfare, and Computer Network Attack: Their Relationship to National Security in the Information Age" by Daniel T. Kuehl.
What is "information warfare"? Is it nothing more than a bumper sticker, used as a "quick fix" rescue for budgets and programs that find it useful to attach themselves to the hot new concept? Is it such a revolutionary new amalgam of technologies and concepts that old and traditional forms of warfare are soon slated to fall into the same receptacle in which outmoded military technologies such as the catapult and war galley slumber? Is warfare as we understand it, featuring "blast, heat, and fragmentation," about to become obsolete? [Author's note: "I am indebted to Lieutenant General Mike Hayden, Director of the National Security Agency-the DIRNSA-for this very descriptive phrase."]
A useful starting place is to trace the evolution of the term information warfare itself. The earliest use of the term in the United States probably originated in the Office of Net Assessment, where in the 1970s Dr. Tom Rona was investigating the relationships among control systems, a field known as cybernetics.
"RONA, Thomas P. 1977 "Strategic Deterrence in the Time/Frequency Domain" [PDF, page 120] Unpublished working paper, November 1977 (revised May 1978) Boeing Aerospace Company: Seattle, Wash. [Rona presents the concept of the need for ways to maintain deterrence over a broad spectrum of destabilizing Soviet initiatives, e.g. -- in order from those requiring only a slow response to those requiring response within minutes -- development of a particle-beam ABM, unveiling of a cruise missile defense, city evacuation, and ICBM preemption.
Included in these 143 pages of email communications are several heavily redacted communications between you and Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert Work and Deputy Director of ONA, David Epstein, which would presumably be about Ignatius given the subject matter of the Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act request. 6 Given the overlap in time between the majority of the emails and the leak of the call, your apparent close relationship with Mr. Ignatius, and your communications with Mr. Work and Mr. Epstein, please provide all 143 pages of email communications in unredacted form and all email communications among and between you, Mr. Work, Mr. Epstein, and Mr. Ignatius from July 1, 2016, to March 1, 2017, no later than July 2, 2020.
The Panel concluded that a Technical Architecture must be implemented and enforced if the Army is to achieve digitization and the evolution to Force XXI.
The basis of this Study was an examination of the Army's vision of the future, including combat doctrine, organization, materiel, and the growing need for information management to support the Army in the 21st Century. The concept of the digitized battlefield, embodied in Force XXI, is a vital element of this vision. The information management-related implications of the Army's vision are profound and far reaching. The "Third-Wave Army" will emphasize knowledge-based operations, including information warfare capabilities. This "Information Age Force" must, and will, be organized around the effective use of battlespace information that is prompt, reliable, and secure.
The evolution of the Army's vision is not merely a paper Study. The Force XXI vision, as articulated by General Gordon Sullivan, CSA, has caused the Army's technology, acquisition, and combat development communities to focus their many programs and initiatives on attempts to fulfill the vision.
Approximately 40 shipping containers were lost off a ship 43 miles west of the Strait of Juan de Fuca on Thursday, according to the United States Coast Guard. The boat, which is anchored near Victoria, B.C., caught fire Saturday morning and may need to be evacuated, according to Global News.

There is a video in the tweet!
I'm wondering if some of us are actively being set up to discredit.... or I could just be paranoid.

As he defied authorities, his legend as a bandit grew alongside the horror stories told by Colombian authorities of the many underage girls he and his cohorts allegedly abused sexually.
In 2017, a video in which Otoniel announced his intent to submit to justice was published, but the plan never came to fruition.

Re: Any "rush" against the southern USA border
Won't be just locals, LEOs, and National Guard.
Regular Army has III Corps headquartered in central Texas. Two of its subordinate divisions are in Texas well; both are armored divisions. Just these assets number around 40,000 troops.
Hopefully, Wokequarters in DC is still willing to defend the country against an outright invasion.
Cheers
