There are two deep state terms that I wonder if anyone else heard? They are the words 'sheriff & owl.' I found out some interesting things about owls. But Sheriff according to some is a position of power but not the police type another type of influence.

[Satori]

Sheriffs have more power then most people realize and more than many sheriffs realize. Sheriffs are elected positions, like district attorneys, judges, and legislatures, for example. The position of sheriff and the associated authority is derived from state constitutions and enabling legislation. They are elected state officials.

Under the US Constitution and the states' rights concepts recognized therein, as well as state constitutions, sheriffs are the top or chief law enforcement authority in their respective counties. They trump local and state police in their county. They also trump all federal law enforcement authority. Federal authorities are required to seek and obtain the authority, consent and support of the county sheriff before they go into a county on official business. Watch news footage of federal law enforcement activity in a state county. You should always see sheriffs or deputy sheriffs. They may not be doing anything other than taking orders or picking their noses, but they are there. At least they are supposed to be.

There's been speculation about the Twitter accounts of Deep State players, now possibly being under the control of Patriots. Greg Rubini noticed that on Hillary Clinton's account it now says:

2016 Democratic Nominee, SecState, Senator, hair icon. Mom, Wife, Grandma x2, lawyer, advocate, fan of walks in the woods & standing up for our democracy.

Hair Icon?? Was this always there or is someone trolling her?

https://twitter.com/HillaryClinton

Someone else said that you can now send her private messages as where before this wasn't possible.


EDIT: Okay I should have searched before posting. Apparently the hair icon descritpion has been there since the beginning:

How many federal grand juries are looking into Russian collusion media leaks? My take

[TargeT]

Interesting video on the "wall" subject, it appears that POTUS does not need approval to build the wall & has several legal options open to him... So maybe this shut down is more about RIF (reduction in force)? or just building public political credit?

[Ba-ba-Ra]

I have read or listened to several different websites where it has been suggested that one of the main purposes of this gov't shut down is for Trump to get rid of a good portion of the SES (Senior Executive Service) personnel, many who were appointed by Obama.

The SES was designed to be a corps of executives selected for their leadership qualifications, serving in key positions just below the top Presidential appointees as a link between them and the rest of the Federal (civil service) workforce. SES positions are considered to be above the GS-15 level of the General Schedule, and below Level III of the Executive Schedule.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senior...(United_States)

The bulk of the current career Senior Executive Service – composed of roughly 7,000 individuals across the executive branch – were appointed to the SES during the Obama administration.

Trump says he will make a 'major' announcement on Saturday about the border and government shutdown

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/18/trum...-shutdown.html

Hmmm , wonder what it is?

[norman]

Who can they suddenly announce is dead?

[mojo]

Thinking that Trump will announce an EO and use Army Corp of Engineers to start building the wall on tomorrows speech.

[pyrangello]

He should start out by firing that dingbat Pelosi, actually he should have let her go to Afghanistan to say thanks to the troops then cut off her privileges of using military planes leaving her there. The US spends 140 billion a year on fraud ,waste and abuse. And the congress can't approve 5.7 billion for a security wall ? Really? Without borders we are not a country and there is a legal immigration process to enter which I am all in favor of.

I'm still favoring an interpretation that I heard on some Youtube video a few weeks ago, that we're seeing a deal between the Bush's and Trump, by which George W. Bush agreed to tell Trump's people what he knew, in return for which Trump's people would go easy on the Bush's. By this speculation, as part of that deal, Trump agreed to nominate an old Bush ally, Barr, as Attorney General (who is head of the U.S. Dept of Justice (DOJ), the federal law inforcement agency), to reassure Bush that the US DOJ would go easy on the Bush's.

So I am presently hoping that the Clinton's and Obama's, and some of their minions in the DOJ, FBI (the investigative branch of the DOJ) and CIA (foreign intelligence) will be publicly prosecuted, but I expect that the Bush family will slip more gently into the night. By this calculus, I am not at all optimistic that the truth about 9/11 will be recognized on the main stream news or that Bush's key lieutenants such as Dick Cheney will be prosecuted.

In other words, by this view, Barr becomes a key player in establishing a limited hangout, that leads to prosecution (or death by illness, perhaps real, perhaps faked, we'll never know) of many of Obama, Hillary, Brennan, Comey, Mueller, Clapper, John Podesta, Abedin, Strozk, Page, Yates, Baker, Bruce and Nellie Ohr, Priestap, and various others of their subordinates and associates, but that doesn't lead to major prosecutions of the Bush family.

In the predominant public view and main stream news, this will become a case of the accusations of Trump colluding with the Russians turning into a case of the Hillary Clinton campaign benefiting from the abuse of power by the Obama administration to

• cover-up Hillary's crimes, such as evidenced by her email server and the Clinton Foundation,
• endeavor to fabricate evidence of Trump-Russian collusion, and
• spy on, prosecute and hope for impeachment of Trump and his people, both during the 2016 Presidential election (of Hillary vs Trump) and subsequently of Trump and his Presidential administration.

Some related criminals and traitors, such as John McCain, will bite the dust, but will do so more quietly, without widespread, main stream, recognition of their crimes and treasons.

Much, though certainly not all, of the arms smuggling, drug running, human trafficking and organ harvesting will be somewhat curtailed, and major chunks of the associated financial fraud trimmed back some, but seldom will that make the headlines or lead report in the nightly TV news. The American Empire and its thousand (?) overseas military bases will be cut back, as was the British Empire a century ago, upon which the sun had never sat during the 1800's.

No mere mortals can entirely clean up the mess we (our psychopathic "leaders" and their sycophantic minions) have made of our (human civilization's) affairs. But as the tide turns, and as the American Empire, the last bastion of centuries of Anglo-Saxon imperialism, fades into the sunset, and as the sun of dominance in our civilization travels over the Pacific to the Orient and China, we can take advantage of this opportunity to do a bit of house cleaning.

The Runes say that Trump will say something akin to, ' due to acts of nature and the limitations of man, (impersonal forces) some things are lost, (Ginsburg) but let us hope that with this loss a common ground can be established that we may see that all is not lost' yada yada yada leaving it off at the end that the negotiating table is still open and that now maybe something can yet be salvaged leading right to a trade as I suspected, their pick for SCOTUS, if they fund the wall completely.

... so ... you (or your Runes) are suggesting that Trump is going to trade support by Pelosi's House for the wall (which he can build even without any Congressional approval) for a Supreme Court pick, which only needs the approval of the Senate (which Republicans control just fine), not of the Democrat controlled House.

That's not going to happen. Trump will have both, the wall and the SCOTUS pick. He already controls enough to ensure victory on both issues. He doesn't need to trade one to get the other ... so he won't

[Leon55]

I've been wondering for a while what the deal is with the mainstream media. There must have been talks with the owners of the stations. Do the Patriots have dirt on them as well and are they somehow forced to cooperate? Remember the Q post directed at Maggie Haberman's (NYT journalist):

https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status...11072📁
Handler (Conductor):
Smoking can be bad for your health. Read the warning label. Deboard train and walk away. Once in the tunnel, there is no going back.
Q

And I was also wondering, did the patriots force Buzzfeed to run today's "breaking news" story to discredit the mainstream media to the normies? I've read quite a few normie reactions and they are NOT happy with this debacle. And was Buzzfeed forced to do this because they're the ones that published the Steele Dossier? And why did the Mueller team deny it straight away when usually they would not comment.

Is this the "optics" Q was referring to?

[crosby]

Alright..... the buzz feed silliness going on has been declared a lie. This could be a major turning point. It's the first lead story. You do not have to watch the entire clip.

No. I feel like you are trying to blame the Runes for something I said. The Runes said simply what I said up to Trump saying the negotiating table is still open and that something can maybe yet still be salvaged. After that is my opinion on the cast. Nice try to find fault with the Runes instead of the reader though Paul.
