U.S. Government Caught Funding “Large Scale Social Deception” Through Thomson Reuters Special Services
Leaked Contract Reveals DHS-Backed Program to Manipulate Public Perception
A newly uncovered federal contract shows that Thomson Reuters Special Services LLC (TRSS) was awarded over $9 million for a secretive program labeled “Active Social Engineering Defense (ASED) Large Scale Social Deception (LSD).” The contract, issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), suggests the U.S. government is funding large-scale influence operations designed to shape public narratives.
What We Know So Far
This revelation follows previous concerns about Thomson Reuters’ deep ties to intelligence and law enforcement agencies.
TRSS, a subsidiary of the global news and data company, specializes in high-level analytics and surveillance tools, often used by government agencies for counterterrorism and national security purposes.
Public records show that TRSS has been involved in contracts with the U.S. government for years, providing intelligence solutions, predictive analytics, and data monitoring systems. However, this new contract, explicitly mentioning “Large Scale Social Deception,” marks a SCARY shift toward potential disinformation and psychological operations aimed at the public.
The “Active Social Engineering Defense” (ASED) component of the contract suggests efforts to counteract social engineering threats...typically referring to cybersecurity and misinformation threats from adversaries.
The “Large Scale Social Deception” (LSD) wording indicates an initiative that may involve coordinated narrative control, online influence campaigns, and mass persuasion tactics.
Why This Matters
Thomson Reuters, known as a major global media and information provider, is now confirmed to be engaged in government-funded programs that appear to involve intentional deception at scale.
If this program is actively operational, it could mean that information fed to the public...whether through traditional media, social networks, or other digital platforms...may be subject to manipulation without public knowledge. (Obviously)
The contract is officially categorized as a “definitive contract,” meaning it is not speculative but an active, fully executed agreement with funding in place.
Neither DHS nor Thomson Reuters has publicly commented on the nature or objectives of this contract, and further details remain classified.
The explicit phrasing suggests the program goes beyond simple defense mechanisms and into the realm of orchestrated public perception management.
With digital information warfare becoming a growing concern globally, and mainstream media distrust on the rise, the existence of a government-funded “social deception” initiative raises serious red flags about how narratives are shaped, who controls the flow of information, and whether the public is unknowingly subjected to manipulation.

WOW ! THE REAL STORY OF BENGHAZI BROKE REMEMBER WHEN HILLARY TESTIFIED “What Difference Does It Make Anyway” YOU THOUGHT THAT WAS LOW So here's the REAL story: Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to secretly retrieve US made Stinger Missiles that the State Dept had supplied to Ansar al Sharia in Libya WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission.
Sec State Hillary Clinton had brokered the Libya deal through Ambassador Stevens and a Private Arms Dealer named Marc Turi, but some of the shoulder fired Stinger Missiles ended up in Afghanistan where they were used against our own military. On July 25th, 2012, a US Chinook helicopter was downed by one of them. Not destroyed only because the idiot Taliban didn't arm the missile. The helicopter didn't explode, but it had to land and an ordnance team recovered the missile’s serial number which led back to a cache of Stinger Missiles kept in Qatar by the CIA.
Obama and Hillary were in full panic mode, so Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to retrieve the rest of the Stinger Missiles. This was a "do-or-die" mission, which explains the Stand Down Orders given to multiple rescue teams during the siege of the US Embassy. It was the State Dept, NOT the CIA, that supplied the Stinger Missiles to our sworn enemies because Gen. Petraeus at CIA would not approve supplying the deadly missiles due to their potential use against commercial aircraft. So then, Obama threw Gen. Petraeus under the bus when he refused to testify in support of Obama’s phony claim of a “spontaneous uprising caused by a YouTube video that insulted Muslims.”
Obama and Hillary committed TREASON! THIS is what the investigation is all about, WHY she had a Private Server, (in order to delete the digital evidence), and WHY Obama, two weeks after the attack, told the UN that the attack was the result of the YouTube video, even though everyone KNEW it was not. Furthermore, the Taliban knew that the administration had aided and abetted the enemy WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission, so they began pressuring (blackmailing) the Obama Administration to release five Taliban generals being held at Guantanamo. Bowe Bergdahl was just a useful pawn used to cover the release of the Taliban generals. Everyone knew Bergdahl was a traitor but Obama used Bergdahl’s exchange for the five Taliban generals to cover that Obama was being coerced by the Taliban about the unauthorized Stinger Missile deal.
So we have a traitor as POTUS that is not only corrupt, but compromised, as well and a Sec of State that is a serial liar, who perjured herself multiple times at the Congressional Hearings on Benghazi.
Perhaps this is why no military aircraft were called upon for help in Benghazi: because the administration knew that our enemies had Stinger Missiles that, if used to down those planes, would likely be traced back to the CIA cache in Qatar and then to the State Dept’s illegitimate arms deal in Libya. Forward this again and again and again until everyone reads the true story of Benghazi.
I Received this from an anonymous source, and I am passing it on;
A Letter for Y'all to Send or E-Mail to your Senators and Representative - Stop the Impeachment!!!!
ENOUGH OF THIS IMPEACHMENT BULLSHIT!!!!!! SAME OLD SH*T DIFFERENT PRESIDENTIAL TERM!!!!!!
------- Copy and Paste letter below.............
I am writing to demand that you take a strong and public stand against the latest sham impeachment effort being pushed against President Trump. This is nothing more than another chapter in the relentless witch hunt that began during his first term, where he endured two baseless impeachments driven by partisan politics rather than facts.
The American people are sick and tired of these political games. We see through the corruption and manipulation at play. Instead of focusing on the real issues affecting everyday Americans—our economy, border security, crime, and international threats—Democrats and their allies are once again weaponizing impeachment for their own agenda. This is an outright abuse of power and a disgrace to our constitutional system.
I urge you to fight back against this nonsense. Speak out. Push back. Do everything in your power to expose this charade for what it is. The American people are watching, and we expect our elected officials to stand up for truth and fairness, not allow this circus to continue unchecked.
I look forward to your response and to seeing you take action.
Socialism in it's three forms of Communism, Fascism, and Socialism presents itself as a benevolent way to help the Common people overcome the 'abuses' of the rich and powerful. That is the ongoing lie it has always perpetuated. However it is just a reiteration of the Master/Slave relationship so predominant throughout human history.
When you take a long hard look at it, in retrospect you can see where the Elite Leaders have led their government into conning their people into believing slavery to a ruling class, is in effect freedom and a better way of life for the people. This includes Capitalism as well, but to a much lesser extent. At least with Capitalism, and the limiting factor of a voluntarily enforced Written Constitution, there is always an existing chance for the people to work towards a better life for themselves and their families in a free society.
Look at the governing philosophy advocated by the NWO and the WEF. Look at other controlled or indoctrinated groups with leaders like Klaus Schwab. Once you compare them to what the Democrats have been induced, recruited, or bribed into promoting, you'll see how completely controlled, manipulated, and brainwashed, their supporters have been duped into believing.
For any form of Socilism to work, it takes a self installed ruling class. A ruling Class promoting the form of government they see something in, that benefits them personally, instead of their publicly stated benefits to the common folks about helping them.
They start with a program specifically constructed to play on peoples moral principles and charitable natures. A program supposely to make everyones lives better and more equal. In retrospect after that's established, it starts their existing civilization falling into disrepair and dissolution and collapse.
They do this using misdirection, lies, innuendo, false compassion, self destructive programs, ridiculing religion, destroying morality, bastardizing science, rewriting history, all disguised as helping the downtrodden. This goes on until the overburdened social order collapses under it's own weight.
Concurrently, they gradually impose their new order, traditions, morality, religion of non-religion, to realign the mindset of the populace. From the beginning on, they set themselves up as benevolent leaders, promoting the same goals and lifestyles as the common people, while living the lifestyles of Kings.
For example; Look at the contrast between what Senator Bernie Sanders promotes for his voters and what he does for himself; He advocates they should live in financial and lifestyle equality. Have their 'rich oppressors' turn over all profits and money above the common financial and lifestyle level. Have those profits distributed equally to the people.
Compare that with the actual lifestyle he lives, and his increasing monetary worth.
Now compare all of this, with what the Democrats have done and still Advocate doing. They have been trying to take down everything built up since the beginning. Generation upon generation of tried and true societal morality and traditions. Doing it under under the false flags of diversity, equality, inclusion and compassion. In fact the way they do it, actuality destroys everything they say it's accomplishing, while setting up their few as a ruling class unto themselves. They believe they are razing the existing society to benefit themselves. Until we can make them believe that won't happen, we will be at risk of total destuction. Same goes for the players on the world stage.
Compare them with what Trumps doing; Trump advocates restoring the once common principles of our floundering society. A return to common decency. A return to tried and true morality and integrity. A Return to common sense and honesty. A return to a hand up, not a hand out and self reliance. A return to a meritocracy not to the lowest common denominator, just to name the basics Trump wants to see America embrace as a nation again.

[Your Address]
[City, State, ZIP Code]
[Date]
The Honorable [Senator’s Name]
United States Senate
[Office Address]
Washington, D.C. [ZIP Code]
Dear Senator [Last Name],
I am writing to you as a concerned constituent to express my urgent view that it is time for a change in Senate leadership. Specifically, I urge you to take active steps to remove Senator Mitch McConnell from any and all leadership positions in the Senate and, if appropriate, encourage him to step down from his role altogether.
For years, Senator McConnell’s leadership has shaped the Senate in ways that I believe have undermined its ability to function effectively and equitably. While every public servant has their strengths and achievements, his approach to governance has often prioritized party politics over progress, resulting in gridlock and partisan division.
I believe that the Senate needs fresh leadership—leaders who are committed to transparency, bipartisan cooperation, and representing the true interests of the American people. I urge you to take a stand, whether through internal discussions, public advocacy, or other appropriate measures, to ensure that the Senate is led by someone who embodies these values and priorities.
Your constituents look to you for leadership, and I trust that you will act in the best interests of your state and the nation. Thank you for considering this important issue, and I hope to see tangible steps taken in this direction.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]

We have already wasted 7 days of 47's administration. Below is a letter that I wish each and every one of you would copy and send to both of your State's Senators and your Representative!!!!! It's easy just copy and paste!!!!
Vigorously Support President Trump!!!!!
I am writing to you as a concerned and engaged citizen of (your State) to urge you to support our newly elected President and his agenda. As you know, the people of this country have spoken decisively in the recent election, granting him a mandate to “Make America Great Again.” It is crucial that our elected representatives work together to honor the will of the people and ensure the implementation of the President’s vision for a stronger, more prosperous America.
I understand that some of the President’s executive orders or policies may seem unconventional or even controversial at first glance. However, I firmly believe that these measures are part of a well-thought-out strategy to achieve tangible results for the benefit of all Americans. It is imperative that Congress and the administration work in unison to address the challenges facing our nation, including economic growth, national security, and restoring public confidence in government institutions.
As my representative, I urge you to set aside any differences you might have and collaborate with the President to advance policies that will move our country forward. The American people expect their elected officials to prioritize the needs of the nation above political rivalries or personal reservations.
Your leadership and commitment to representing the voices of your constituents are more important now than ever. Please stand with the President in his efforts to make meaningful change and deliver on the promises made during the campaign.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your service to our great state and nation. I look forward to seeing your efforts to support the President’s agenda and contribute to the betterment of our country.

When I was in civil service as the Air Traffic Control (ATC) Training Manager, that was a big topic in 2014. How was ATC going to control and monitor the drone population and it was just beginning then.
You talk about a major threat to our nation with all the folks that have come across the border unvetted.
It wouldn't take much for them to fly these small drones into our infrastructure and take it out. And it appears there is not a thing that our military currently can do about it.
Everyone should know we were sold out by the corrupt administration currently leaving and they are doing their best to prevent the new administration to implement safety measures.
There are a lot of folks that need to be investigated for treason and if evidence is found, prosecuted and given the penalty for treason!!!!!
It all had better happen quickly!!!!!!

Why the US Military Can't Just Shoot Down the Mystery Drones
Small, easily weaponizable drones have become a feature of battlefields from the Middle East to Ukraine. Now the threat looms over the US homeland—and the Pentagon's ability to respond is limited.

A spectre is haunting the United States—the spectre of drone warfare.
Since the middle of November, unidentified unmanned aerial vehicles have lit up the skies above New Jersey, startling residents and baffling military and government officials. The US Army’s Picatinny Arsenal research and manufacturing facility in the state’s Morris County reported 11 confirmed instances of mysterious drones illegally entering its airspace since the middle of the month, while a dozen drones were spotted hovering over US Naval Weapons Station Earle in Monmouth County in early December. Similar sightings were reported in at least six other counties throughout the state; according to the Coast Guard, a group of drones even followed one of the service’s vessels “in close pursuit” near a state park.
The spate of drone sightings in the skies above New Jersey have caused alarm among state lawmakers, prompting one to call for a “limited state of emergency … until the public receives an explanation” regarding the source of the unidentified drones. One Republican US congressman even claimed the drones were originating from an Iranian “mothership” lurking off of the state’s coastline, an assertion the US Defense Department quickly batted down.
“As you know, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst possess [sic] capabilities to identify and take down unauthorized unmanned aerial systems and have utilized this capability to address overflights of the installation,” New Jersey representative Chris Smith told Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in a December 10 letter. “I urgently request all capabilities possessed by the Department of Defense, especially those in use by JBMDL to be immediately deployed to identify and address the potential threats posed by [drones] over the state of New Jersey.”Despite the growing chorus of concern from New Jersey lawmakers, the US military appears relatively unimpressed with the sudden incursions. In a December 11 statement, US Northern Command (NORTHCOM) revealed that the command had “conducted a deliberate analysis of the events, in consultation with other military organizations and interagency partners, and at this time we have not been requested to assist with these events.” The following day, White House national security communications adviser John Kirby stated that many of the alleged drone sightings that had alarmed civilian observers on the ground in recent weeks were, in fact, conventional manned aircraft. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Homeland Security echoed this assessment in a statement on Thursday, saying, “it appears that many of the reported sightings are actually manned aircraft, operating lawfully. There are no reported or confirmed drone sightings in any restricted air space.”
“At this time, we have no evidence that these activities are coming from a foreign entity or the work of an adversary. We're going to continue to monitor what is happening,” deputy Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Singh told reporters on Wednesday. “At no point were our installations threatened when this activity was occurring." (In an interesting confluence of events, the US Department of Justice that same day announced the arrest of a Chinese citizen for flying a drone over and taking photos of Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.)
The alarm over the sudden drone incursions over New Jersey, neighboring New York and Pennsylvania, and near sensitive US government sites in particular, even if overblown, isn’t completely unwarranted: Officials at North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD)—the joint US-Canadian military organization tasked with overseeing air sovereignty on the continent—revealed in October that they had received reports of nearly 600 incursions above domestic US military installations since 2022.
Indeed, for several months earlier this year, unidentified drones repeatedly circled Plant 42 in California, the Edwards Air Force Base installation where defense contractor Northrop Grumman has been working on the Air Force’s vaunted new B-21 Raider stealth bombers. In December 2023, Langley Air Force Base in Virginia was targeted by a wave of mysterious drone overflights, prompting the Pentagon to relocate a contingent of F-22 Raptor fighter jets stationed there to another base. And the New Jersey incidents come on the heels of a mid-November series of drone incursions near RAF Lakenheath in the United Kingdom, which, while not a US domestic installation, hosts a strategically-important contingent of American fighter jets, among other capabilities.
It appears that Pentagon assets in the continental United States have been subject to such drone activity as far back as 2019, when a fleet of US Navy Arleigh Burke-class destroyers was shadowed by a swarm of drones for several days during maneuvers at a training range off the coast of southern California. Later that year, a series of mysterious drone sightings in eastern Colorado and western Nebraska and Kansas confounded not just local law enforcement and federal agencies, but alarmed Air Force officers at nearby F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming, home to one of the Pentagon’s many Minuteman III ICBM fields.
These incidents aren’t limited to US military facilities. In October 2023, several drones were detected in the airspace above the US Energy Department’s Nevada National Security Site, which is used for nuclear research and development, the Wall Street Journal recently reported. And back in 2019, the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station in Arizona—the most powerful nuclear power plant in the United States—was subject to a series of mass drone incursions that Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials would later characterize as a “drone-a-palooza,” albeit with grave concern over the potential vulnerability exposed by the incursion, according to email correspondence obtained by The War Zone in 2020.
“I would point out that restricted airspace will do nothing to stop an adversarial attack and even the detection systems identified earlier in this email chain have limited success rates, and there is even lower likelihood that law enforcement will arrive quickly enough to actually engage with the pilots,” one senior NRC security official at Palo Verde wrote in an email regarding the incident. “We should be focusing our attention on getting Federal regulations and laws changed to allow sites to be defended and to identify engineering fixes that would mitigate an adversarial attack before there our [sic] licensed facilities become vulnerable.”
While unmanned aerial vehicles have been in military use for generations for surveillance and reconnaissance, the US military is largely responsible for transforming modern drones into vehicles of precision violence during the early years of the Global War on Terrorism, a policy especially expanded under US president Barack Obama. In more recent years, the rise of cheap, commercially-available unmanned platforms like those used by hobbyists has turned the small drone into the weapon of choice for both nation states and irregular forces abroad, from militant groups like ISIS In Iraq and Syria and the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen to the Russian and Ukrainian militaries. With a potential conflict with China over Taiwan looming on the horizon amid the US military’s pivot to “great power competition,” the Pentagon is itself in the midst of a major surge in both unmanned capabilities and technology to defend against weaponized drones belonging to foreign adversaries.
The US military has been slowly but surely adjusting to the sudden spike in mysterious drone incursions near sensitive sites across the United States with an expanded counter-drone strategy. In early December, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin signed the Pentagon’s new Strategy for Countering Unmanned Systems, which seeks to unify disparate DoD efforts to address the rise of drone threats both at home and abroad into a single coherent framework, one that implicitly acknowledges the potential for the rising tide of domestic drone threats to grow from intrusive surveillance risks to something more damaging.
“From the Middle East to Ukraine and across the globe—including in the US homeland—unmanned systems are reshaping tactics, techniques, and procedures; challenging established operational principles; and condensing military innovation cycles,” the unclassified fact sheet on the new Pentagon strategy states. “The relatively low-cost, widely available nature of these systems has, in effect, democratized precision strike.”
The Pentagon has been working overtime to field fresh counter-drone capabilities to US forces deployed overseas in recent years, including traditional firearms outfitted with computerized optics and remotely operated vehicle-mounted heavy weapons turrets, laser-guided rocket and missile systems, AI-assisted kinetic interceptors, radio frequency- and Global Positioning System-jamming electronic warfare suites, and even exotic directed energy weapons like high-energy lasers and high-powered microwaves, among others. As recently as late October, NORTHCOM was working in conjunction with the Federal Aviation Administration to demo fresh counter-drone tech as part of its Falcon Peak 2025 experiment at Fort Carson in Colorado.
“By all indications, [small unmanned aerial systems] will present a safety and security risk to military installations and other critical infrastructure for the foreseeable future,” NORTHCOM boss Air Force general Gregory Guillot told reporters at the time. “Mitigating those risks requires a dedicated effort across all federal departments and agencies, state, local, tribal and territorial communities, and Congress to further develop the capabilities, coordination and legal authorities necessary for detecting, tracking and addressing potential sUAS threats in the homeland.”
But US military officials also indicated to reporters that the types of counter-drone capabilities the Pentagon may be able to bring to bear for domestic defense may be limited to non-kinetic “soft kill” means like RF and GPS signal jamming and other relatively low-tech interception techniques like nets and “string streamers” due to legal constraints on the US military’s ability to engage with drones over American soil.
“The threat, and the need to counter these threats, is growing faster than the policies and procedures that [are] in place can keep up with,” as Guillot told reporters during the counter-drone experiment. “A lot of the tasks we have in the homeland, it’s a very sophisticated environment in that it’s complicated from a regulatory perspective. It’s a very civilianized environment. It’s not a war zone.”
Defense officials echoed this sentiment during the unveiling of the Pentagon’s new counter-drone strategy in early December.
“The homeland is a very different environment in that we have a lot of hobbyist drones here that are no threat at all, that are sort of congesting the environment,” a senior US official told reporters at the time. “At the same time, we have, from a statutory perspective and from an intelligence perspective, quite rightly, [a] more constrained environment in terms of our ability to act.”
The statute in question, according to defense officials, is a specific subsection of Title 10 of the US Code, which governs the US armed forces. The section, known as 130(i), encompasses military authorities regarding the “protection of certain facilities and assets from unmanned aircraft.” It gives US forces the authority to take “action” to defend against drones, including with measures to “disrupt control of the unmanned aircraft system or unmanned aircraft, without prior consent, including by disabling the unmanned aircraft system or unmanned aircraft by intercepting, interfering, or causing interference with wire, oral, electronic, or radio communications used to control the unmanned aircraft system or unmanned aircraft” and to “use reasonable force to disable, damage, or destroy the unmanned aircraft system or unmanned aircraft.”
As The War Zone points out, 130i limits when and where the US military can actually deploy counter-drone assets outside of immediate self-defense in the face of an imminent threat. Notably, it requires the defense secretary to “coordinate” with both the US transportation secretary and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) administrator regarding any counter-drone implementation that “might affect aviation safety, civilian aviation and aerospace operations, aircraft airworthiness, or the use of airspace.” Not only that, but 130i authority is only applicable to a specific list of installations, mainly those dealing with nuclear deterrence and missile defense functions of the US national security apparatus.
This, in turn, limits what kinds of counter-drone systems the US military can actually employ domestically. Service members may be up to their eyes in fresh counter-drone tech overseas, but the regulatory environment at home is rigid enough that “hard kill” solutions like missiles, guns, and other kinetic interceptors aren't even considered potential options because there’s simply too much risk that they might end up inflicting collateral damage on innocent, unsuspecting civilians in nearby neighborhoods. Even “soft kill” solutions like RF and GPS jamming require coordination with the FAA and other federal agencies to prevent potential harm to civilian air travel, approvals that could slow down the reaction time among base security forces amid a potential drone incursion.
“Given the impact of GPS denial, just across infrastructure and all that stuff, it is a very, very difficult capability to get permissions to utilize,” as one official told The War Zone at Falcon Peak.
While the Pentagon’s broad new counter-drone strategy is a step in the right direction when it comes to bolstering domestic drone defenses, Congress is taking action as well. In the compromise version of the annual National Defense Authorization Act defense budget legislation unveiled in December, lawmakers included language calling upon the Pentagon to not just conduct an assessment of the counter-drone technology landscape at large, but generate recommendations on how policy changes could reduce the amount of burdensome bureaucratic coordination between federal agencies required to address the growing number of drone incursions—and, in an ideal world, allow the US military to move quickly and decisively to counter intrusive drones at sensitive installations before they become dangerous.
“We agree that US troops have the inherent right of self defense, including from [drone] attacks, wherever they may be,” the explanatory statement accompanying the compromise NDAA says.
At the moment, the Pentagon seems unconvinced that the Northeast drone sightings and earlier incursions are connected to a foreign adversary. But with lawmakers increasingly concerned with the potential threat to sensitive installations and critical infrastructure in their states, the US military’s renewed approach to counter-drone defense can’t come soon enough.
How to aid Trump and begin taking back our stolen rights.
SAVE for the 2026 - 2028 Elections;
Here is a way to bypass the corrupt and progressive owned media. It would cost about $30.00 per person, more or less depending on how many postcards you would send out in your district.
The way is to write a simple but verifiable message on a regular prepaid postcard, with the message tailored to the Districts where the Progressives are going to be stumping to get re-elected.
Simply set up a small but damning list of 3 or 4 critical issues where the Incumbent Democrat or RINO candidate has betrayed the public trust they are supposed to be representing, and end with the comment "Are you sure you you want to allow this to continue?"
All postcards should be sent out about a week amnd a half before the Primary Elections, with a suggestion for a fully vetted challenger candidate in the case of RINO's, and a fully vetted write in candidate for the Progressive Democrats.
The next wave of postcards should be sent out a week before the Regular election, with the vetted candidates promoted who are challenging the Incumbents.
Do Not send write ins against the RINO's who made it through the primary process as that would split the vote.
These postcards should have as the final line on them; Please tell all of your friends about this and/or send some postcards out to them as well.
Sample Format for main elections in 2028;
Postcard 1,
RepSen X voted for bill Y that's cost the people their rights.
(EXAMPLE);
Rep/Sen x voted against Picture ID for voting.
Rep/Sen x voted against Election Reform measures that would eliminate voter fraud.
Tailor the cards to what the most controversial issues are at the time for the Primaries
Rep/Sen x voted against the peoples wishes on bad Gun Control that will take away Constitutional Rights and make people easier victims.
Sen x voted against protecting the borders.
Rep/Sen x voted for Green Energy Production, GreenBatteries etc. that produces up to 10 to 20 times the pollution as conventional sources, and 100 times the toxic poisons in the disposal of used up elements.
Postcard 2 for All Primaries in 2026 - 2028;
(Example);
Rep/Sen x voted for a spending bill that lifted the debt ceiling and will cost the taxpayers an unknown amount more in taxes.
Rep/Sen x voted for a bill that gives Trans right to use any bathroom or play on any team.
Rep/Sen x voted for forced vaccinations.
List the most outrageous transgressions the official has done on these cards!!!
Of course the samples will have to be researched and tailored specifically for every State and every District to have valid information contained within them. the Progressives will not be able to discredit actual facts and figures in their controlled media at that late a date. Imagine if just 2% of the conservatives at large, did this, and of that sending another 2% of those who received it passed the information on, and so on and so on.
14th Amendment are you Pro or Con and why?
part 1
I believe the 14th Amendment and the way it was forced on the Southern states basically at gun point by Congress citing they had to ratify it to again be recognized in the Congress, was the beginning of the end for States Rights. Don't forget the Civil War was originally fought over the question of States Rights, and not over slavery.
- Here's something I found that explains my position even better than I could; Part 1
The problem with the 14th Amendment is the premise under it that imply's; "WE ARE ALL U.S. citizens, under the 14th amendment. There are NO STATE Citizens." That, and that alone gives the Federal Government the FALSE and UNENUMERATED authority to do what they want. Given the Language of the Constitution and the meanings that prevailed then, that statement can not be construed as a legally valid statement!
Strictly speaking the 14th Amendment was the one that Quietly took away states Rights and was Unconstitutionally passed.
The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution should be held ineffective, invalid, and unconstitutional for the following reasons:
1. The Joint Resolution proposing said amendment was not submitted to or adopted by a Constitutional Congress per Article I, Section 3, and Article V of the U. S. Constitution.
2. The Joint Resolution was not submitted to the President for his approval as required by Article I, Section 7 of the U. S. Constitution.
3. The proposed 14th Amendment was rejected by more than one-fourth of all the States then in the Union, and it was never ratified by three-fourths of all the States in the Union as required by Article V of the U. S. Constitution. The federal courts are not ready to give consideration to the subject, because the U. S. Supreme Court and inferior courts have used the the 14th Amendment to enlarge upon their ungranted powers without limit or reserve. To read a complete treatise on this and on the most comprehensive research and documentation of every angle in the unlawful procedures, check out this link;http://www.barefootsworld.net/14uncon.html it's a long but informative read.
Consider this about the flawed ratification of the 14th amendment as the most critical points cited in the article;
A) New Jersey was disenfranchised in the Senate by having its lawfully elected Senator accepted, and then rejected, and without a 2/3rds vote;
B) Oregon's faulty ratification vote with unlawful state legislators being allowed to cast votes; and the lawfully constituted state legislature then rejecting the Fourteenth, but too late.
C) Non-republican [Reconstruction] governments of the southern States imposed by military force and fiat, cannot ratify anything. Either the Fourteenth is legal and the anti-slavery amendment is not, or the anti-slavery amendment is legal and the Fourteenth is not.
Article I, Section 7 of the United States Constitution provides two things; Every bill which shall have been passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate of the United States Congress, AND:
"Every Order, Resolution, or Vote to which the Concurrence of the Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary (except on a question of Adjournment) shall be presented to the President of the United States; and before the Same shall take Effect, shall be approved by him, or being disapproved by him shall be re-passed by two-thirds of the Senate and House of Representatives, according to the Rules and Limitations prescribed in the Case of a Bill."
The Joint Resolution proposing the 14th Amendment (http://www.barefootsworld.net/14uncon.html#cite9 ) was never presented to the President of the United States for his approval, as President Andrew Johnson stated in his message on June 22, 1866 (http://www.barefootsworld.net/14uncon.html#cite9 ).
Therefore, the Joint Resolution did not take effect.
It may be helpful to know that the 14th amendment proclamations of July 20, 1868, (http://www.barefootsworld.net/14uncon.html#cite51 ), and July 28, 1868, (http://www.barefootsworld.net/14uncon.html#cite53), were issued as Presidential Executive Orders.
Presidential Executive Order No. 6 **, issued July 20, 1868. Ratification of the 14th Amendment certified as valid, provided the consent of Ohio and New Jersey be deemed as remaining in force despite subsequent withdrawal. **Signed by William H. Seward, Secretary of State. Has the form of a proclamation.
Presidential Executive Order No. 7 **, issued July 28, 1868. 14th Amendment certified as in effect and ordered published. **Signed by William H. Seward, Secretary of State.
From Presidential Executive Order Title List -- Presidential Executive Orders, 2 vols. (N.Y.: Books, Inc., 1944 Copyright by Mayor of N.Y. 1944), vol. 1, pp. 1-2.
In this light the 14th (amendment), which has perplexed many, is an Executive Order, not an (Article) of Amendment to the Constitution of the united States of America, albeit a statute and so remains an Executive Order.
( above information is from barefootsworld.net research pages and reposted here for general information and education on the subject).
Another challenge to the Article V Constitutionality of the Ratification of the 14th Amendment under it's requirements is that it only permits Congress to propose amendments whenever two thirds of both houses deem it necessary. that can and should be considered as two thirds of both houses as they were constituted before the forcible ejections caused by Reconstruction laws. Add to that, Congress violated Constitutional Requirements by depriving the Southern States of their equal suffrage in the Senate (The provision is; " no State, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate." )and there are no exceptions to that in the article one's Constitutional Language, therefore it was forbidden for the then 'fragmentary congress' to do that. In fact the plain language within the Article is incontrovertible and not open to interpretation. It is not in the purview of Courts, or the Legislative bodies of either Federal or State governments to alter the fixed Constitutional methods of proper legal ratification of an Amendment.
Neither you, nor a court, nor a legislative body, can raise an illegally proposed or illegally ratified amendment to the force of legal authority as part and parcel of the constitution if it is not legally ratified by any of the methods required by Article V. There is no such thing as an Amendment by congressional waiver, nor by Laches ( failure to do something at the proper time, especially such delay that will bar a party from bringing a legal proceeding). Congress cannot acquiesce an amendment into being, in fact you cannot give an amendment power by any means but the specific means set down in Article V of the Constitution.Part 2;When the mandatory provisions of the Constitution are violated, the Constitution itself strikes with nullity the Act that did violence to its provisions. Thus, the Constitution strikes with nullity the purported 14th Amendment.
The Courts, bound by oath to support the Constitution, should review all of the evidence herein submitted and measure the facts proving violations of the mandatory provisions of the Constitution with Article V, and finally render judgment declaring said purported amendment never to have been adopted as required by the Constitution.
The Constitution makes it the sworn duty of the judges to uphold the Constitution which strikes with nullity the 14th Amendment.
And, as Chief Justice Marshall pointed out for a unanimous Court in Marbury v. Madison (1 Cranch 136 at 179):
"The framers of the constitution contemplated the instrument as a rule for the government of courts, as well as of the legislature."
"Why does a judge swear to discharge his duties agreeably to the constitution of the United States, if that constitution forms no rule for his government?"
"If such be the real state of things, that is worse than solemn mockery. To prescribe, or to take this oath, becomes equally a crime."
"Thus, the particular phraseology of the Constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written constitutions, courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument."
The federal courts actually refuse to hear argument on the invalidity of the 14th Amendment, even when the issue is presented squarely by the pleadings and the evidence as above.
Only an aroused public sentiment in favor of preserving the Constitution and our institutions and freedoms under constitutional government, and the future security of our country, will break the political barrier which now prevents judicial consideration of the unconstitutionality of the 14th Amendment.A background on the 14th including the intent as stated by Senator Jacob Howard clearly spelled out the intent of the 14th and was reaffirmed by Senator Edward Cowan.( http://www.14thamendment.us/amendment/14th_amendment.html ) What are your views? Should it be "Repealed", or should "the Supreme Courts added intent of birthright citizenship for a child having "Foreign National Parents illegally in this country", by the highly Liberal Earl Warren Court be removed from it?"

VERY INTERESTING;
God and American Beliefs
The only way to save America and it's traditional values.
I fail to see why certain liberal people get so upset when anyone talks about or even says they believe in God. They seem to get even more upset when anyone talks about Jesus as their Savior and Redeemer. The true Marxist/Socialists are non-believers, and they want to impose their lack of belief on everyone else. They want that because they want to be considered the highest power anywhere. America over the last two or three decades, has been slipping into the idea that there is no God, and, the Ten Commandments are mythological/antique artifacts whose time has past.
I personally believe there is a Supreme Being. A being that our small minds can not understand. We universely call that being GOD. We use analogies to try and comprehend what the being we call GOD is. That's why we have so many diverse religions. The divisions between Religions, and how they view God, and in their rituals to honor God. That causes much friction.
It's strange because every Religion considers there is only one true God. So, in actuality we who revere and honor God, are all praying to and trying to please the same Supreme Being.
In general, all the major religions, have some form of the 10 commandments as an integral part of their belief system. The non-believers also have a system that mimics, but does not work as well as the moral lessons of the Ten Commandments. Commandments we used to try to incorporate into, and practice in our society.
When you look at it from a civilization viewpoint, you see the Ten Commandments are the most concise ground rules for a workable human society, bar none. They work! The concepts behind them work. They stop abuse and excessive behavior on moral grounds. They teach Honesty and Integrity. They also teach honor. Our Societies adherence to them in spirit and fact, offers a benevolent moral and spiritual society. What's wrong with that?
At one time America was a stalwart Christian Nation. Believing in God, and keeping the Ten Commandments. Our Founders were mostly all Christian, or saw the impact to our fledgling nation as benefiting from the moral and social foundation that Christian morality provided. They also saw the need to keep the spiritual aspect incorporated in creating our laws, but not writing Christian Religious Dogma into law. Therefore they wrote into law, a seperation of church and state. This did not mean the United States would be godless, it meant the United States would not have a sanctioned formal State Religion like England had.
The watershed moment when rejection of our traditional values manifested publicly, was with the Madalyn Murray O'hare ruling. The ruling where the extremely liberal/left Supreme Court of Chief Justice Earl Warren, took God out of schools, and the purge of God from Federal, State, and Local government began. That was the beginning of what some say immoral, and what some say Godless, decisions of courts and law makers began. It won't end until America takes God back into the process and returns to 'letting but not forcing' God back in schools and other government functions, then using the Ten Commandments as moral guidelines for laws and regulations we live by.

We Must Reform or Lose
Today, we need to re-evaluate our position on what this country needs to do, to reform itself back to the original intent of the Founders. The Founding Principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence, were categorized in the creation of the Constitution. Though it was a wonder in it's time, it still had many problems then, as it does now. That is the reason the Founders included Article-V.
Just as the authority was given by act of Congress to revise the Articles of the Confederation of the Perpetual Union, it also gave a One Time Authorization, to the delegates of what became the Constitutional Convention. Article-V gives the Congress, and also the people through their States, the rights to amend, not the wording of the Constitution, but the way the Justice System interprets the intent of that wording. On how to apply Constitutional Law to every law, regulation, or practice.
Article-V allows Federal Legislators authority to correct any problem the changing times creates. It also gives the people the 'Supreme Authority' to overrule their own government. So far our government, through the actions of Congress, has modified the intent of the Constitution 27 times.
There have been approximately 11,000 other Amendments proposed and never ratified by the people into law. Affirming the people as the highest authority in the land, they have the final say on how they will govern themselves.
(https://constitutionus.com/constitution/amendments/constitutional-amendments/) It is what keeps our Representatives from becoming our Overlords and Task Masters.
We have all seen how the Government has incrementally but consistently moved forward inserting itself as the ruler in our lives, instead of it's proper designated role as our servant.
We have seen how President Trump tried to reform the Federal Government. Likewise we have also seen how quick the embedded elements who created the usurpation of the peoples legitimate power, changed them back by edict or executive order. We can no longer allow that to happen. We can no longer believe our Federal Government will act in our best interests instead of their own.
The only way to take back our rightful authority is through the Amendment Process. The process is so lengthy and complicated to make it hard to change the interpretation of the Constitution for trivial reasons, and acts as a check and balance. The Congress has the authority to create laws, but those laws are constrained by Constitutional Limitations. The limitations are the checks and balances on Congressional law making powers.
Congress has seen fit to create all of the 27 amendments/changes interpreting the Constitution, since the Constitution was originally ratified. Strangely enough, the people through their States, have not had an amendment convention to propose/repeal amendments. In fact this action has been discouraged by many politically active naysayers over the years. If the people finally did Demand and Get a proposal convention, the main losers would be the Congressional powers taken from the people by some of the Congressionally proposed Amendments.
As an example; The 17th Amendment gave people the right to vote for Senators. Until then, the Senators by Constitutional Law, were appointed Representatives of their respective States Legislatures under the Sherman Compromise, to insure Equal Representation in Congress, of every State in America regardless of it's population and size. Since the 17th was ratified, the Senators have devolved into representatives of their political parties and party agendas, instead of representing the People or the States in Congress to Congress.
My position is, this Amendment should be repealed like the 18th was repealed.
Another amendment which would benefit the people and their States, would be to get a term limit amendment ratified that included:
Pay to be voted on by the people instead of allowing Congress to just give themselves a raise.
Retirement and healthcare packages for Congress to be the same as given to the people by Social Security/Medicare, but not to disallow any private packages personally paid for by the individual, but independent from Government funds.
Modifying the 14th amendment due process clause to forbid Anchor Babies.
Preventing Congress from giving funds from social/welfare programs,et.al.to any illegal alien/s
Eliminating the Federal Reserve and return money creation back to the Treasury under the original Tresury rules and regulations. All laws rules and regulations to be written in common language understood by average Americans.
Allowing the Legal American Citizen Voters to overturn any law or ruling by a 70% vote against it in a scheduled or special election.
Plus any more proposals the people may want to see.
Those posibilities are why a States called Convention, is the greatest fear of the hidebound politician or political party. They would lose their say in how we decided to govern ourselves, and turn back into mere representatives of our wishes.
To preserve the Union, we must demand our State Legislatures petition Congress for an Article-V convention.
