I stayed up way too late last night watching episode two of the Billy Joel documentary. I didn't even get through it. It's like two and a half hours long. We did not know that when we turned it on, So I'm uh, yeah, I'm running on fumes today. But you probably would not have even noticed it had I not just brought this to your attention. So anyway, there was a story a couple of weeks ago that I have never gotten to but is important in setting the historical record straight, okay, And it is about the inflation of crime stats by the FBI. Artificially. So juice in the stats, I believe, is the term that was used on the Wire, the program The Wire. They were juice in the stats. They're crime stats. Jerry Dunlevy at the website justthnews dot com, which is John Solomon's. Website. He does a lot. Jerry Dunleavy does a lot of long form investigative pieces. This is a very lengthy piece as well. And the title on it is Biden administration used January sixth to artificially inflate domestic terrorism threat. This is according to declassified intel. The intelligence was declassified in April, and it shows that most of the reported rise in the number of domestic terrorism cases was actually tied to a single event, which was the Capital riot of January sixth, twenty twenty one. That juicing of the stats was then cited by the Biden administration as a basis for instituting a sweeping expansion in. Federal law enforcement. And he walks through like what the normal practices and why this the j six investigations deviated from the normal practice, He says. The artificial inflation of the domestic terrorism threat was revealed in a newly declassified intelligence record from early twenty twenty two. It was made public by the Director of National Intelligence Tulci Gabbard. By the way, y'all probably shouldn't have put her on that no fly list, just not for nothing anyway. The declassified special Analysis report by the US intelligence and Law enforcement agencies from February twenty twenty two revealed that sixty one percent of all alleged domestic terrorism related cases, just domestic terrorism cases, sixty one percent of them that were investigated by the FBI at the time were related to the Capital riot sixty one percent and seventy eight percent of arrests that were allegedly tied to domestic terrorism in the year twenty twenty one, in fact, stemmed from just the Capital riot eight percent of arrests. So this was alleged by some whistleblowers inside the FBI. They said this, and the administration said, you know, pooh poo died, that's not true. They denied it, and they were right. Those whistleblowers were right. The until recently classified document was put together in early twenty twenty two by the Joint Analytics Cell on Domestic Violent Extremism. So if you hear me use the acronym DVE, that's domestic violence extremists or extremism DVE. That Analytics Cell, the Joint Analytics Cell on dvees run by the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the National counter Terrorism Center. The document was declassified. As I mentioned by Tulci avert at Odni, the revelation was found in a sub section on quote fatal domestic violent extremist attacks and FBI Investigations. That's the sub section. Despite the fact, the contrary to the repeated claims of many Democrats and media, but I repeat myself, the Capital rioters did not kill anybody. The only people that died that day were were rioters, were protesters. Earlier in the INTEL analysis, the newly released document had contended that quote the number of pending FBI domestic terrorism investigations more than doubled in twenty twenty one, from about fourteen hundred to about twenty nine hundred, in part because of cases related to the siege of the US Capitol on January sixth, twenty twenty one. The public was never told this though at the time, so they kept saying, oh my gosh, we've had this massive spike and domestic violent acts and extremism. But it more than doubled because you counted all of the investigations as separate cases. They were all designated as separate cases, rather than you make J six one case, and then everybody that you're investigating is part of that one case. But by making everybody separate cases, they then inflate the number to twenty nine hundred. The phrase in part where they use in part to the siege on the Capitol. That phrase downplayed the reality and was highly misleading. The sixty one percent figure added up to about eighteen hundred new domestic terrorism cases, which means that based on their own figures, there would have actually been roughly three hundred fewer domestic terrorism cases in twenty twenty one than the year prior, so, in other words, the number of dvees actually went down, but because they counted all of the J six cases as separate cases, the number doubled. Then White House Press Secretary Jen Pisaki, famously of the circling back, announced only a few days after Biden was inaugurated as president in January twenty twenty one, that Biden had ordered a review of the allegedly rising domestic terrorism threat, citing J six as her sole example. The Biden White House soon released its National Strategy for countering domestic terrorism. They did that in June of twenty twenty one. The White House fact sheet at the time said that quote. On his first full day in office, President Biden directed his National security team to lead a one hundred day comprehensive review of US government efforts to address domestic terrorism, which has evolved into the most urgent terrorism threat the United. States faces today. They go on to say, the intelligence community assesses that domestic violent extremists, who are motivated by a range of ideologies and galvanized by recent political and societal events in the United States pose an elevated threat to the homeland. In twenty twenty. One, this is what they argued, and this is what they used to justify all of their focus on, you know, getting the Jay Sixers and MAGA and Trump. Remember this is twenty twenty one. Biden had just gotten into the White House, and of course then you know, we saw all of the prosecutions and the like. Then FBI Director Christopher Ray, along with the DHS Secretary Alejandro Majorcis, as well as other Biden era law enforcement and intelligence community leaders, repeatedly cited this stat They kept talking about the vast increase in domestic terrorism cases, and they used it to justify their arguments that the domestic terrorism threat had significantly increased, but they never revealed that the increase in domestic terrorism cases was overwhelmingly sourced from the one day riot at the US Capitol. The number of FBI investigations of suspected dvees has more than doubled since the spring of twenty That's what Ray testified to in Congress. That's what majorcas testified to. That's what they were all testifying about. They were all citing this one juiced stat and that's not the way the FBI normally counts the cases. Here's a great idea. How about making an escape to a really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina. Just a quick drive up the mountain and Cabins of Asheville is your connection.

Let's go to the phones and chat with Ralph. Hello, Ralph, welcome to the show. Hey Pete, and I'm going to attribute this to your sleep deprivation, but you misspoke a minute ago. Those stats are correct. I mean that they doubled at everything, but it was a threat to the Democratic Party being exposed. Oh, so this was what the intelligence community assesses that domestic violent extremists. This was from their the Biden era domestic terrorism document argued that these dvees pose an elevated threat to the homeland in twenty twenty. One, and you need this substitute party a threat to the Democratic Party. Yeah, well, I mean it is the same thing, really if you know it's not. Yeah, Ralph, I appreciate. No, that's fair point. And remember that that also launched all of the campaigns against Trump, all the prosecutions, all the investigations. In fact, yesterday on Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Devin Nunez, who really like people forget the critical role that Devin Nunez played in uncovering the Russia Gate hoax and the Stele dossier, all of that, right, because Nonez got a look at some of this information and immediately went over to the White House and was like. Yo, like this is this is foul. Okay, there's a bunch of shenanigans going on over there. Had he not done that, I don't know if all of the stuff would have come out. But he immediately went over there, told the White House and then told the media as well. So Nonez was on the show with Maria Bartiromo on Fox and he suggested that the raid on Mara Lago was to find something as well as to keep Trump from winning re election. That was its primary purpose. And the something was now released HIPSY HPSCI, which is the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, this newly released report. They wanted to make sure that Trump didn't have this report. That's what they were looking for. That's what Nonez is saying. And the CIA refused to allow the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, the HIPSY. They refuse to allow HIPSY to keep the report which that committee wrote because they didn't want Trump to get it like this, It is astounding the level of corruption that the intelligence agencies were engaged in and maybe still are right in order to stop Trump. Christopher Ray, the former head of the FBI, he told Congress in April of twenty twenty three, quote, the top domestic terrorism threat we face continues to be from DVEs domestic violent extremists we categorize as racially or ethnically motivated violent extremests or rmve's. Then there are also the AGAA, VASE or AGAVE, the anti government or anti authority, violent extremists, That's what he said was driving this, this increased threat to the homeland, again arguing that the number of FBI domestic terrorism investigations has more than doubled since the spring of twenty twenty and as of the end of fiscal year twenty twenty two, the FBI was conducting approximately twenty seven hundred investigations within the domestic terrorism program. He would go on to repeat those same arguments almost word for word, in front of Congress again in July of twenty twenty three, in December of twenty twenty three, and elsewhere. His language was also echoed by Alejandro Mayorkas, head of the Department of Homeland Security. Now back right before j six, do you recall there being any other, I don't know, incidents of well publicized violence. Yes, absolutely, yes. The Summer of Love in twenty twenty, large and often violent protests swept across the US in the summer of twenty twenty following the death of Saint George Floyd, accompanied by rioting, looting, arson, and violence. While the Capitol riot occurred on January sixth, twenty twenty one, Republicans have repeatedly argued that the Justice Department prosecuted the Capitol riot prosecutions more intensely than their investigations into the twenty twenty riots. And there's a reason why Republicans keep saying that. It's because it's true. It's true, all right. If you're listening to this show, you know I try to keep up with all sorts of current events, and I know you do too, And you've probably heard me say get your news from multiple sources.

Again, going over this piece at justthenews dot com by Jerry Dunley, the how the Biden administration basically juiced the stats using January sixth in order to inflate the numbers, the count the total count of quote domestic violent extremists, and that then was used at the beginning of the Biden administration and they kept, you know, hammering away that all the rise of domestic violent right wing extremism and all of this meanwhile not going after the obviously organized violent mobs that were taking over cities and you know, confiscating property like the Jazz Chop. In Seattle and Portland. Jill Sanborn, then the executive assistant director of the FBI's National Security Branch, referred to twenty twenty and the violence that we all saw around the peaceful protests quote unquote peaceful protests during January twenty twenty two. In testimony that she gave in twenty twenty two, she said that the bureau had opened slightly more than eight hundred cases related to domestic terrorism tied to the dozens of nationwide twenty twenty riots. So eight hundred cases that compares two thousands of domestic terrorism cases tied to the J six riot. Ray Christopher Ray. Then the FBI Director, claimed in a February twenty twenty two speech that the FBI was working just as hard to punish those involved in the George Floyd riots as it was in prosecuting those tied to J six. Later on, skipping ahead here, dun Leavy says FBI whistleblowers came forward to tell Congress that the FBI was artificially inflating the domestic terrorism numbers by quietly using thousands of J six related cases to argue that the domestic terrorism threat was on the rise, when in fact it had declined. There were three hundred fewer cases if you take out the J six numbers. Whistleblowers claims now have been vindicated by this recently declassified internal analysis by the FBI, DHS, n CTC. Ordinarily, the FBI characterizes and labels cases according to the originating field office. Okay, so, and then you know they will you know, cut to other field offices for specific assistance in that geographic location if required, But where the event occurs, that's where you house the That's where you house the original case. With the j six cases, though, the FBI did not follow its ordinary procedure, which would have resulted in the Washington Field Office leading the investigation and categorizing the investigations as Washington Field Office cases or WFO Washington Field Office, but they didn't do that. The FBI's case categorization created the illusion also that the FBI field offices around the country were investigating some groundswell of domestic terrorism cases, giving the impression that the threat of domestic violent extremists is present in jurisdictions across the nation, when the reality was simpler. All the cases stem from the one investigation, which should have been at the Washington Field Office, but they handed all of the cases out when they identified people, they would send them to all of the different field office, which makes it look like there's this widespread problem. The FBI special agent named Stephen Friend testified to House investigators quote the manipulative case file practice creates false and misleading crime statistics because instead of hundreds of investigations stemming from a single black swan incident at the Capitol. FBI and Justice Department officials point to significant increases in domestic violent extremism and terrorism all around America. By opening a separate case for each individual person as opposed to one case with however many subjects are involved, they turned one case into eighteen hundred, and by spreading them to the field offices, they've given the impression that those domestic terror cases are around the country, when in fact, the subjects, if they committed an sort of violation or infraction, they committed a crime at the Capitol on one day, as opposed to being like a terrorist cell that's operating in El Paso or Cleveland. Right, So the whistleblowers were right all along, So now we know that what else I mentioned? Devin Nounez. This is from. The Postmillennial dot com. Devin Nunez is now the chair of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, and he says it's now clear what federal agents were really looking for during the Marra Lago raid three years ago. They were looking for classified documents related to the discredited Crossfire hurricane investigation. They wanted to get them back. They were trying to get those documents back. In an interview on Fox news is Sunday Morning Futures, Nunez, now chairman of the President's Intel Advisory Board, said the Biden administration was desperate to stop then candidate Donald Trump from returning to office, and the mar A Lago raid was part of that effort. Quote. Whatever they were looking for, they clearly couldn't find it. They were trying to stop President Trump from being re elected. Nunez pointed to the just released documents from Tulca Gabbert, the Director of National Intelligence, which he said had long been suppressed. Among them a forty five page report analyzing Russia's actual preferences during the twenty sixteen election, evidence that Nunez claims undermines the core premise of the entire Russia collusion narrative because it does. I went over this in detail last week. So what Nunez is saying is that the intel agencies were afraid that Trump had that report that has now been declassified that we covered last that tracks how this all things start, How the whole thing started from you know, the meeting with Obama, Brennan, Clapper and Kmy and then the insertion of the Steele dossier into the assessment, which then made its way to the Presidential Daily President's Daily Brief, which Trump was receiving at that time as well. Comy then briefs the President at Trump Tower and then leaks that information to the media. And you know, that's how you cripple an administration as it's walking in the door. So that's what the Intel agencies were looking for, was that report that's now been to classified according to Newness. You know, stories are powerful.

For example, if your head is in the oven and your fanny is in the freezer, on average, you ought to feel pretty good. Which it does make sense. Yeah, you would be, Yeah, you should be all right, the middle part of you should be. Although I am curious, just like practically speaking, how you would be able to have a freezer that close to the oven where you would be able to be in both at the same time, because I feel like you would have to have the freezer right up next to the oven door, but then you wouldn't be able to open the oven door, you know, because it would hit the freezer. Anyway, I think I missed the point there. Joseph says, for the most part, the rank and file FBI or CIA bureaucrat, down to the mail room workers, are just as big of a commie as the leadership and alphabet. All alphabet agencies need to be dismantled and new institutions formed or this will never stop. This is from Kevin. He says, I thought this would be good for a laugh. NPR's one A program just did a twenty minute segment this morning on facial hair. The Democrats are now growing facial hair to help them win next time. Oh my gosh, are they really? Is this the idea? Also, it's their messaging, not their policy. Well, of course they always say that, it's never their policies. They said it multiple times in this report. They interviewed Republicans, and the Republicans are like, no, it's your policies, it's not the facial hair or lack thereof. And they're like, well, we'll see, it's the facial hair that's going to make the difference. Oh my gosh, that's yeah, it's definitely not it's definitely the messaging, you guys. And if you speak to me through a beard, then I'm totally going to believe you. Yes, this is from Bill, who says great show as usual. Thank you, Bill. I'm a daily listener. Would you please do me a great favor say hello to Keith Young for me. I worked with Keith as his audio engineer for over twenty years doing TV shows. All right, well, I'll send this over to Keith. Gave some contact info. There are your okay, And then I'm getting complaints here about the stream. The commercials are screwed up. They are repeating. The Amazon commercial played three or four times straight, and there was a bankad twice in the last break through the iHeartRadio app. Yes that. Yeah, that platform has problems. And I had when I was working in Asheville for an iheartstation, we had we had there like a two and a half minute Katy Perry and Taylor Swift by audio things that were getting auto inserted into the spots and uh, they would play back to back to back. It's just crazy. So it's got it's it's definitely something on the programming end for iHeart on the on their app. I enjoyed the Billy Show Billy Joel documentary. I was sorry to hear his relationship with his father was so void of emotion and there was no closure. Yeah, that was I did not know all of that about his dad. I don't know if AOC is going to grow a beard. I'm not sure she might be a beard. I'm kidding. I'm just kidding. I know nothing about her boyfriend because I don't think she's married yet. I think it's just are they engaged Maybe, I don't know. Let me go back to this, UH to do this piece at the Post Millennial, Devin noon Is said this, you know, forty five page report that's now been declassified, had been blocked from public release for years. Now it's finally declassified. As chairman of the President's Intelligence Board, he says, I'm going to try to get out as much of the information as possible and get it all declassified. When asked directly whether he believed that the FBI rated Trump's Florida home in order to retrieve this intel report, Nunas said, quote, it had to be one of the things they were looking for. That report is damning if people take the time to read it, which is why obviously your legacy outlets are not covering it. They have not been covering it to the extent that I covered it, or you know, conservative media outlets have covered it because it puts all of the blames squarely on Obama, Comy, Clapper, and Brennan. And it gives you the chronology, the the chronology of the smear. How it started, how the Steele dossier got inserted into the intelligence assessment, the ICA report, which then made its way into the president's daily briefing, right which then Kmy briefed Trump about at Trump Tower. And then my bed is Kmy personally leaked the information to the media or he handed it off to his buddy who then turned it over to the media. I forget the guy's name. He was like, I think he's like a Georgetown law professor or something like that. But you know, either way, it came from Komy because the media had the Steele dossier, but nobody reported on it. They wouldn't report it because they recognized it was thinly sourced and impossible to corroborate. And even the FBI offered Christopher Steele like a million dollars or something to you know, corro ate this stuff, and he couldn't do it. He couldn't collect the check, and so media sat on it until Comy gave him a reason to report it because now he briefs the president. And now that's the story that Comy briefed the president on this salacious report, which, by coincidence, we happened to have the salacious report. And now we can tell you all of the contents. Right, And that's how that played out. And you know, we're still dealing with the ramifications. Lastly, Trump himself announced on Friday that the documents taken during the Mara Lago raid in the Jack Smith led classified Documents case, they have now been returned to Trump. So after all this time, they just gave all the documents back. All right. That'll do it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening.
