The
Obama Media Empire Strikes Back
Expelled
from government office, Obama administration officials are still fundamentally
transforming America.
Barack
Obama has changed his retirement plans. When the former president thought his successor
would be fellow Democrat Hillary Clinton, he joked with retired talk-show host
David Letterman about playing dominoes. In 2015, he told a crowd of students
that he planned to eventually return to the work of advancing his agenda in
local communities. But after Donald Trump’s upset victory, Obama chose a
different profession: the media.
The
former president is not the only one from his administration who is now in
media. A surprising number of high-level officials, including top spies, now
work for technology, media and news firms. Yet looking back, this shouldn’t be
surprising. During Obama’s eight years in office, his administration’s
intelligence community became entwined with the national media to an extent
that should shock anyone who believes in free speech and fact-based reporting.
Now
Obama and his spies are working for Netflix, cnn, nbc, Google, Facebook and other
media outlets. These “deep state” officials are advancing the same agenda they
advanced when in government: Take down Donald Trump and, as Obama said during
his election campaign, “fundamentally change America.”
The
Bible foretold that truth would be cast down “to the ground” in the end time by
an organized host of people empowered by a dark spiritual force. The work of
the Obama administration continues as left-wing radicals attack the Trump
administration, the U.S. Constitution and the moral laws of the Bible—using the
power of technology and the press. You need to understand the powerful, unseen
spirit empowering this network!
Television Spies
One
of the most shockingly illegal examples of the extremes to which the Obama
administration went to undermine the rule of law while President Obama was
still in office was the Clinton-Steele dossier. Trumpet editor in chief
Gerald Flurry exposed the details of this treasonous activity in “Saving America From the
Radical Left—Temporarily.”
In
summary, the Obama Justice Department used an unverified dossier of propaganda,
paid for by the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, to obtain a warrant to
spy on the Trump campaign. On Jan. 5, 2017, Obama gathered his top national
security chiefs together at the White House to discuss how they could undermine
the Trump administration after Mr. Trump took office. Present were President
Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Director of National Intelligence James
Clapper, National Security Agency director Michael Rogers, cia director
John Brennan, fbi director
James Comey, National Security Adviser Susan Rice and Deputy Attorney General
Sally Yates.
These
politicians, security officials and spies were literally strategizing how to
continue using false accusations to investigate their new boss—which is treason.
A big part of the strategy they concocted was targeted leaks of false
information to the media. Comey informed Mr. Trump that cnn had
a dossier of salacious rumors about him, but not that the fbi, of
which Comey was the director, was investigating him. Clapper discussed the
dossier with cnn’s
Jake Tapper around the same time Comey was briefing Trump on the same topic.
After this discussion, cnn reported that Comey had briefed Trump on
Jan. 6, 2017, and Buzzfeed published the entire 35-page Clinton-Steele dossier.
Once
the media had published the dossier, Clapper resigned as director of National
Intelligence on Jan. 20, 2017—the day Donald Trump took office. Eight months
later, cnn hired
Clapper as a national security analyst, giving at least the unsightly
appearance that the news network was paying a former director of National
Intelligence for information he leaked to them.
And
Clapper is far from the only former Obama administration official now working
in the media.
Barack
and Michelle Obama have signed a deal with the online video giant Netflix. They
will be producing political documentaries, including an adaptation of Michael
Lewis’s book, The Fifth
Risk: Undoing Democracy, about Mr. Trump’s failure to appoint
qualified people to government positions. “With Higher Ground Productions, we
hope to bring people together around common values and uncommon stories,” Obama
announced in February. But his real agenda is to undermine his successor by
becoming the first former president to produce a movie about a sitting
president.
Susan
Rice also works for Netflix as a member of its board of directors. She recently
criticized President Trump on msnbc for suggesting he
might accept information on opponents from foreign governments—despite her role
in the Obama administration’s use of Russian gossip to undermine Mr. Trump’s
presidency.
James
Clapper still works as a cnn national security analyst. He condemns Trump
for declassifying documents related to the surveillance of his campaign during
the 2016 election, and is spreading the rumor that Trump is encouraging Russia
to interfere in the 2020 elections.
cnn has also hired former cia director
Michael Hayden, former cia agent Steven Hall, former fbi agent
Asha Rangappa, former fbi agent James Gagliano, former Deputy National
Security Adviser Tony Blinken and former National Security Council adviser
Samantha Vinograd.
Meanwhile, nbc has
hired former cia director
John Brennan as a national security analyst. Like Clapper, Brennan has been
accused of leaking to the press classified information claiming Russia had
meddled in the 2016 election. His goal is to defame President Trump—an agenda
he can continue pursuing in his new job.
nbc has also hired Chuck Rosenberg, former
chief of staff for fbi director
James Comey; Frank Figliuzzi, former chief of fbi counterintelligence;
Juan Zarate, former deputy national security adviser; and Ken Dilanian,
the Los Angeles Times reporter
who was caught sending drafts of his articles to Obama’s cia for
approval before publishing.
Now
the same spies who tried to rig the 2016 presidential election with lies,
innuendo and conspiracy theories work in mainstream media.
These
former cia agents, fbi officials
and national security bureaucrats have become some of the best-known faces in a
new, hybrid industry where “deep state” spies are rebranded as journalists.
The
major media hiring spies and agents from the Obama administration is
concerning. Since President Trump took office, his Justice Department has more
than tripled the number of investigations into government leaks to media
outlets. Many Obama-era intelligence officials are now working for the very
news agencies that publish these leaks.
A
truly free press prioritizes evidence-based reporting to inform people about
the world. Few things are worse for democracy than journalists colluding with
political operatives and spies to misinform the public. Now the same spies who
tried to rig the 2016 presidential election with lies, innuendo and conspiracy
theories work in mainstream media!
Silicon Valley
During
his time in office, Obama was known as “Silicon Valley’s president.” Big tech
companies like Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft and Google had a shockingly
close relationship with his administration. Data from the Campaign on
Accountability shows that Google representatives attended White House meetings
more than once a week during Obama’s presidency. Almost 250 people left the
Obama administration to work for Google or vice versa during this time.
Eric
Schmidt, executive chairman of Google’s parent company, supported both of
Obama’s presidential campaigns. And it was Obama’s Federal Trade Commission
that ruled that Google was not an Internet monopoly that needed to be split
into smaller companies. It is hard to tell how much of the alignment of purpose
between Silicon Valley and the Democratic Party is coincidental since they are
both run by leftists, and how much is due to actual collusion with “deep state”
agencies.
In
2013, former government contractor Edward Snowden provided proof of prism, a
spying program in which nine major tech companies (Apple, aol,
Dropbox, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, PalTalk, Skype, Yahoo and YouTube)
provided Obama’s nsa and fbi access
to their users’ e-mails, audio, video, photographs, documents and location data.
What did the Obama administration need all this data on U.S. citizens for? An
increasing amount of evidence suggests that this data was and is being used to
manipulate elections.
“Since
Edward Snowden’s revelations about the extent and depth of surveillance by
the nsa,
it has become evident that Silicon Valley is a vital node of the deep state,”
writes former congressional aide Mike Lofgren in The Deep State.
Congress
has since passed a bill that reins back the nsa’s mass surveillance programs,
but Google and Facebook continue to collect vast troves of personal data on
American citizens. And these companies continue to enjoy a cozy relationship
with former President Obama and Obama-era security officials. Two months after
he left office, Obama privately met with leaders from several tech companies at
the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, California.
The
Obama administration’s director for cybersecurity policy, Nathaniel Gleicher,
is now head of cybersecurity policy at Facebook. Former Department of Homeland
Security analyst Jason Ally now works as a search quality analyst at Google.
Former nsa analyst
Andrew Honig now works as a software engineering manager at Google.
Big
Tech companies like Facebook and Google are considered part of the private
sector, but their extensive ties with former Obama administration officials and
intelligence agents blurs the line. And like the Obama-era spies that are now
spreading false information on cable television, left-wing activists in Silicon
Valley are working to manipulate public opinion.
Censoring Conservatives
Google
employees used a variety of means to boost Hillary Clinton and damage Donald
Trump in the 2016 presidential election. A study presented at the 97th annual
meeting of the Western Psychological Association found that pro-Clinton search
results were “more than twice” as common on Google as on Yahoo. A study by Leo
Goldstein found that Google searches suppressed conservative sites like Drudge
Report, PJ Media and American Thinker.
In
late May, undercover investigators working for Project Veritas secretly
recorded a conversation with Jen Gennai, the head of responsible innovation at
Google, a department established to manage artificial intelligence “fairness”
and “ethics.” Gennai said Google is specifically engineering its algorithms to
prevent a repeat of the 2016 U.S. presidential election. An anonymous Google
insider told Project Veritas that Google is using something it calls
“machine-learning fairness” to promote its political agenda. Leaked documents
show that this tool uses “artificial intelligence” to accomplish a very human
goal: promote a liberal agenda. When you search for something using Google, the
company’s leadership and “responsible innovation” team have engineered your
search results to promote liberalism and suppress conservatism.
This
is deeply concerning, as Google is the most popular search engine in the world.
More than 90 percent of all online searches worldwide are conducted through Google
or its subsidiary YouTube. Now Google engineers are deciding what information
should be available to American citizens by filtering conservative websites
from their platform.
At
a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on July 17, Dr. Robert Epstein testified
that Google influenced millions of votes in the 2016 elections through its
manipulative search-engine techniques. Dr. Epstein, a liberal who has conducted
extensive research on search-engine bias, further warned that 15 million votes
are in jeopardy in the 2020 election.
“Google
algorithms are having a dramatic impact on the thinking, behaviors, attitudes,
beliefs, purchases and voting preferences of 2½ billion people, right now,”
Epstein told Breitbart News after his Senate hearing. “That’s the power they
have. That’s the power they’re exercising. This is what a totalitarian regime
does. This is not a monopoly. A monopoly fixes prices. That’s not what this is.
This is way beyond that. This is a repressive government. This is a
totalitarian, authoritarian government that at this point rules much of the
world.”
Even
though the radical left has lost control of the presidency, the Senate and the
Supreme Court, it still controls Silicon Valley and the mainstream media—which
means it has tremendous power over people’s minds.
YouTube
has shut down entire conservative video channels for ideological reasons.
YouTube censors shut down the channels of Legal Insurrection and Pamela Geller
after they posted videos supporting Israel. The censors have also placed more than
100 PragerU videos from conservative educator Dennis Prager on “restricted
mode.” This mode was meant to censor inappropriate sexual content from
children, not to prevent them from watching educational videos with titles
like: “If You Live in Freedom, Thank the British Empire,” “Why Isn’t Communism
as Hated as Nazism?” “Make Men Masculine Again,” and “The Ten Commandments:
What You Should Know.”
This
type of Big Tech censorship is ideologically driven to limit free speech and
“to fundamentally change America.”
Project
Veritas caught nine current and former Twitter employees on hidden camera
admitting that Twitter algorithms purposely hide tweets if they use words like
“God” or “America.” Twitter also restricts advertisements from pro-life
organizations while allowing pro-abortion ads from Planned Parenthood.
Former
Obama administration officials and their allies in Silicon Valley and the major
media are at war with conservatives and the Trump administration. President
Trump has warned that continuing censorship of American citizens on social
media platforms is a threat to their constitutionally guaranteed freedom of
speech. Yet the danger posed by this type of censorship goes beyond an attempt
to undermine a certain president or party. It is actually a weapon used by
radical socialists to attack both “God” and “America.”
Truth Cast Down
President
Trump is leading a populist revolt against the technocratic establishment (aka
the “deep state”) that the Obama administration built up, and he is working to restore
the rule of law in America. But Obama and his top brass are fighting back using
the extensive media connections they have developed.
As
the most biblically hostile U. S. president in history, Barack Obama fulfilled
the role of America’s political Antiochus. He is out of office now, but his
administration is still at work in the mainstream media. This is a major reason
why the truths of the Bible are under attack in America today as never before.
Netflix, cnn, nbc, Google,
Facebook and a few other major media outlets are monopolizing the marketplace
of ideas and acting—in the words of Dr. Epstein—like a totalitarian state. The
same lawless spirit being who controlled the mind of the ancient king Antiochus
Epiphanes is suppressing the truth today.
Our
people don’t understand their Bibles as they once did, but many scriptures
reveal this spirit as Satan the devil.
“If
you look at the whole story in biblical prophecy, you see that Satan has a
three-pronged attack,” Mr. Flurry writes in America Under Attack. “First he attacks God’s
Church. Second, he tears down the values within the nations of Israel. Finally,
he will bring the Holy Roman Empire to destroy those nations in the Great
Tribulation.” That is Satan’s master plan for destroying spiritual and physical
Israel!
There
is still a major undercurrent against the rule of law and biblical morality
today. The deep state, built up by President Obama, continues to oppose President
Trump with any means it can find—legal or illegal. Even though Obama is no
longer in office, this spirit of lawlessness persists. And a new deep
state–media hybrid is blinding many of our people to reality.

Poll: American patriotism at 18-year low
According to a Gallup poll released on July 2, fewer Americans
than ever are extremely proud of their country. Fewer than half of American
adults were “extremely proud” to be American, an 18-year low, and 3 percent are
not proud at all. Only 22 percent of those who support the Democratic Party
said they were very proud to be American.
In the introduction to his booklet Great Again, Trumpet editor
in chief Gerald Flurry writes: “Do you believe the United States of America has
been mainly a positive force in the world for most of its history? Do you have
a favorable view of the Founding Fathers, the Constitution, separation of
powers, rule of law, Manifest Destiny, freedom of religion, freedom of speech,
free-market economy and America’s role in World Wars I and II? If you do, then
surely you are deeply alarmed by the state of America today. … Even the
nation’s leaders see them as shameful. On many foundational issues, they share
the views of America’s worst enemies!”

Disasters usually occur with little or no warning.
Though the focus of this site is on "bugging in," it's still wise to
have a vehicle survival kit or a bug out bag in case you're stranded on

Survival Kits Online makes a good
Deluxe 2 Person Kit for $99 and a 4 Person Survival Kit for $199. However, they
don't include everything you need to keep your car running.
I recommend purchasing a sturdy
backpack, gathering these items and keeping them in your trunk. Make
adjustments based on your personal needs. Much of the equipment will depend on
what type of vehicle you own. You should also learn to change a tire, change
