Pretty sure we understand your standing orders from the CIA: Cast doubt on the sincerity of calls for CIA and IC reform.

I am a decorated, career CIA officer. @joekent16jan19 was a decorated CIA officer and Spec ops operator. @GenFlynn benefitted from a fruitful military-CIA relationship and last I checked he knows a thing or two about DIA.

When men who have objectively been part of the machine call for change … Maybe folks should pay attention instead of trying to divine some political machinations.

The CIA is failing at its primary tasks and the new leadership decided to rely on the old leadership to conduct transformational change. At best, incompetence on parade.

Occam’s razor… Maybe it is time for another Church Committee.

Air Force Flu Vaccine Memorandum Sparks Fears of Another "Purge" Among Religious Objectors

By J.M. Phelps / The Gateway Pundit

A newly circulated Air Force memorandum has quietly expanded the criteria for Seasonal Influenza Vaccine Exceptions to Policy (ETP), effectively creating a system where few, if any, can avoid compromising their religious convictions during their service.

https://t.co/tMBceb6cYd

As previously reported over a year ago by The Gateway Pundit, a major Cleveland Clinic study of its workforce during the 2024–2025 respiratory viral season raised significant questions about the influenza vaccine’s effectiveness. The research, which tracked more than 53,000 employees, found that vaccinated working-aged adults were statistically more likely to contract influenza compared to their unvaccinated colleagues.

Even after adjusting for variables including age, sex, occupational role, and worksite location, the data indicated a 27 percent higher risk of influenza infection among those who received the vaccine.

Against the backdrop of emerging concern over the flu shot’s effectiveness and efficacy, the new Air Force directive directly contradicts the April 20th declaration from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who stated unequivocally that “effective immediately,” neither Active nor Reserve personnel—nor civilian employees of the Department of War—would be compelled to take the influenza vaccine.

The move has ignited immediate concern among service members with religious objections to vaccination, many of whom are still recovering from what one attorney called "the purge" during the COVID-19 era.

Most people think federal policy is untouchable, but it isn't. As a private citizen, YOU can petition agencies to change their rules directly. AI makes the process easy to start today. OWN YOUR FREEDOM! @Jerdman2005

[Marcus Thornton @marcuswthornton]

Sloppy journalism, @EricM_Katz. You're right about @StateDept political exclusion, but wrong about who's doing the targeting.

​Classic accusation in a mirror: @feds4freedomusa has documented years of State purging people of faith over Covid & denying promotions over DEIA. (1/3)

[James Erdman @Jerdman2005]

As one of his colleagues and a career intelligence officer... @eduneret is part of the reason the Deep State never wants to leave government service. They see a guy like Eduardo volunteer to serve after a successful career in the private sector and immediately show the kind of value usually garnered only after DECADES of experience .... and they come to some very uncomfortable conclusions.

Curled up in bed at night, pondering their self-worth ... in those extraordinarily rare moments of self-humbling, absolute clarity ... The blob suddenly realizes that if they EVER leave the comfort of a protected forever-job, where they are only required to shit out just enough to stay street legal in the govie subsistence program we sometimes coyly refer to as public service ….

Well, they know that there is no way they could measure up to the task of ACTUALLY providing value to their employer.

So, screw you Eduardo for scaring all of these incompetent, useful idiots into never leaving government service.

🚨🚨 THE ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK / THE DEMOCRACY FILES: A PRIMER 🚨

I will be using this thread to track all drops, so bookmark it.

I spent most of yesterday backing everything (now 312 gigabytes) up in various sources and getting the materials out to others. I also produced an AI video (below) to explain the whole thing to others are not on 𝕏 - feel free to distribute.

Here's the primer:

USAID, the foreign aid agency, had a democracy office. Inside the agency, it was called DRG.

Officially, DRG administered "democracy assistance." They'd go inside countries they thought were sliding into authoritarianism and help the opposition there. That assistance included election monitoring, judicary support, independent media, and civil society building.

You may have heard the term "color revolution." The model comes from Serbia in 2000, where trained student activists brought down Milosevic with the help of Western governments, after sustained protests. With the help of USAID's democracy office, this model was implemented in many other countries to topple governments: Georgia's "Rose Revolution" in 2003, Ukraine's "Orange Revolution" in 2004, and many more.

Then last year, DOGE shut down USAID. But the USAID democracy office didn't stop. They formed a group called the Democracy Renewal Group, the same initials as their office (USAID Democracy, Human Rights, Governance). Their goal: apply their own playbook to the United States itself.

This goal became a plan, called Renew American Democracy (RAD). It invoked the "4 B's" framework. Block - use lawfare and protests to make life harder for the Trump administration. Bridge & Belong - control dialogue and win people over. The final and most important B is Build. Build means redesigning the American government itself, and the crisis is the opening.

In their own words:
"We can take that breakdown moment and leverage it for a big structural reform, you know, refounding moment." - Danielle Reiff, DRG lead.

Calls show DRG working alongside DSA on ideas of creating a different government, one that does away with the Constitution itself.

DRG does not run the Block operations. They hand it to UDA, the United Democracy Alliance. One organizer calls it a "huge galaxy": lawsuits, street protests, non-cooperation. They list No Kings, Indivisible, MoveOn, 50501, and many other mega-activist NGOs among their members.

Another organizer calls UDA Erica Chenoweth's project. Chenoweth is the Harvard professor behind the three-and-half-percent rule of regime change: get that share of a country's populace onto the streets, and historically, the movement wins.

The UDA is very "hush-hush." They have no website, no roster, no filings.

Then come the red lines: things the Trump administration could do, such as calling the Insurrection Act on protesters, that would mean that the federal government, in their words, "crosses the threshold into illegitimacy." Nobody voted on those lines. There was no public debate. These red lines were developed within secretive working groups, and in a paper addressed to governors and staff.

In the words of Reiff/DRG:
"So that if there is a red line crossed in terms of a Constitutional crisis, like everyone's already pre-organized. And so Mike Smith actually said, he goes, oh, you guys have the day after tomorrow plan."

Cross a line, and the paper's options include states refusing to lend their resources to federal officials, and governors convening what it calls a "Third Continential Congress."

Running the UDA's Insurrection Act working group: Rear Admiral Mike Smith (RET) of National Security Leaders of America (NSL4A). NSL4A is also credited with operationalizing UDA, the blocking operations. NSL4A consists of about 1,600 ex-officers, spies, diplomats. They're turning red lines into indicators and running a situation room to monitor them throughout the midterms and beyond.

The NSL4A's lawyers told them to stop recording meetings in case of subpoenas. But the rest of the network continued to record. DRG works in conjunction with Renew to Thrive (R2T), which ended up accidentally publishing 400+ calls and thousands of documents. These calls and documents were never meant for our eyes, but it's them, on tape.

Thousands of NGOs and billions of dollars are involved in this endeavor. Most of them believe they're saving democracy. The problem is that people who spent their careers deciding when other countries' governments had lost their legitimacy wrote that test for ours, in private, and planned for what comes after.

Who decides when your government is legitimate?

🚨BREAKING🧵 - For all those who are slow on the uptake ... the J5/J6 pipe bomber was a cop. In this pre-taped episode, @KyleSeraphin and I host two experts, formerly with the ATF and US Air Marshals. You'll want to see their analysis of the videos of "Hoodie," originally released by @FBI. (🧵Continued in comments.⬇️)

[Steve Baker @SteveBakerUSA]

Now that @RepThomasMassie has named the two @CapitolPolice plainclothes counter-surveillance officers who "found" the DNC pipe b0mb, it's time to remind you that they never "looked" for the device. They went straight to it, with complete foreknowledge of its location ... then stopped looking for more.

The full video is attached. Also...

USCP Special Agents Don Hankins and Ronald Ridgley, who both work for the intelligence division of the Capitol Police, have never been subjected to "under oath" transcribed interviews because of the obstructionism of @SpeakerJohnson, @JudiciaryGOP, and USCP general counsel Thomas 'Tad' DiBiase.

🎙️149. Ex-CIA Officer: Government Oversight Is Just Cosplay | Jim Erdman |Own Your Freedom

Ex-CIA operations officer Jim Erdman @Jerdman2005 says intelligence oversight is theater. In this Own Your Freedom episode, host Stephanie Weidle @ActiveSinger24 and Erdman break down why government accountability keeps failing — and what the citizens can actually do about it.

Jim Erdman is Co-Founder and Director of Development of Feds For Freedom.

Jim and Stephanie cover Trump's broken campaign promises, why Congress gets blocked from classified info, Inspectors General independence, rulemaking vs. legislation, whistleblower retaliation and conscientious dissent, anomalous health incidents (AHIs) concern, the Navy’s flu shot mandate, and how a citizen petitions OPM.

JOIN US OCTOBER 30 — Alexandria Courthouse, Virginia. Press conference at 9 a.m., summary judgment hearing at 10 a.m. in the Dr. Terry Adirim defamation case, with Ivan Raiklin taking questions afterward. If you're in the DC area, this one to show up for.

[Feds For Freedom @feds4freedomusa]

Yes, there was no directive for the mRNA but a significant portion of the Navy has been mandated to get the flu shot.

Some requesting a religious exemption/accommodation have been denied.

It’s not giving them more of a choice over medical decisions when they are being forced out.

Please the post below for more details.

[Feds For Freedom @feds4freedomusa]

Don't panic. Do your research. Remember you are in control of your treatment. Partner with your doctor.

[James Erdman @Jerdman2005]

Please Lord, make this happen. I always say … if things are miserable … at least they can be funny. @LauraLoomer as the press secretary would absolutely be an answer to my prayers. Help us all heal through a heathy dose of laughter.

[Feds For Freedom @feds4freedomusa]

@USW_PR_HONTata @DeptofWar @SecWar Respectfully sir, can you explain how all of these are reasonable exceptions?

Are you aware at least one sailor’s accommodation request has been denied?

[Feds For Freedom @feds4freedomusa]

BLUF: The most recent, July 2026, Navy guidance that we are aware of does NOT align with your statements above. Can you clarify? We would like to work with you to set the record straight.

First and foremost thank you for everything you are doing to right the wrongs of the previous administration.

Has the guidance given to the navy recently changed? Are there updates that we are not aware of and could pass along to the members of our organization?

Our understanding of the official Navy guidance (link below) significantly expands flu requirements beyond your stated intentions.

Not only are those in boot camp and deploying required to get the flu shot, but Navy health personnel and civilian personnel employed in child development and youth programs, among others, are required to get the flu shot.

This is more than just instances like basic training and operational deployments.

Respectfully, it is not optional when the majority are still being mandated (through an exemption to the exemption).

Additionally, the guidance requires an individual, who submits a religious accommodation, to receive a flu shot while they are waiting for adjudication of accommodation.

This requirement undermines religious liberties and the constitutional rights of our men and women in the military.

For context, the vast majority of Navy sailors, who requested religious accommodation during COVID, never received final adjudication of their requests.

They waited over a year in many cases and never got a final answer. This policy enables abuse of our Sailors through bureaucratic red tape, which is unacceptable and is not aligned with our Oath of Office.

Please help us understand how these issues are being resolved, as we have numerous members, who are negatively impacted by this apparent overreach of stated Dept of War objectives.

We are looking forward to working with you to clear up any misunderstandings and to help resolve this issue.

Speaking of ops… Hey @TheJohnNantz … What part of @feds4freedomusa is an op?

Was it the federal lawsuit that provided the injunction against Biden’s mandated gene therapy … We ran that op straight up to the Supreme Court.

Great way to run one of these ops is to sue the federal government over and over again.

Maybe it was one of the 17 class action EEOs we organized against the forced mRNA jabs … We have paid well over a million in fees for that operation … Still have six of them active. Was that the op?

Or was it the Luevano case … You know … jumping in to the litigation fight so that we could assist in getting merit based hiring on the table.

Ohhh perhaps you mean our defamation case against Meta? Our interest in censorship … that one screams Fed PsyOp.

I ran a bunch of FOIA tutorials… Is it the transparency thing. Radical transparency is a go-to FedBoi bait and switch. Get them hooked with promises of transparency and then turn their names over to the FBI. Am I right?

Maybe it was post Trump admin work… Are you conflating the individual roles some Feds for Freedom members played in the admin with F4F the organization?

Those of us who foolishly believed this admin planned to hold people accountable?

Last I checked one of our cofounders helped shut down USAID. @marcuswthornton … Op complete.

Couple of us worked for Director Gabbard … Was that the op to which you are referring?

I remember @CIA spying on the work in the DIG. You should have seen how apoplectic the @CIA became when @SteveBakerUSA showed up. They tried to initiate counter intelligence investigations into DIG members.

That op was so convincing we managed to get the ICIG to report on CIA’s intransigence … to legislative oversight.

BTW - From my vantage, Brian Cole Jr. is an innocent man.

@feds4freedomusa members have been putting their lives, careers, families on hold hoping that we could help make the federal bureaucracy accountable…

You have been bloviating talking points from our failed @FBI leadership team … why don’t you go back to stroking @FBIDirectorKash and the failed co-deputy director and quitter @dbongino …

Let Feds for Freedom handle the rest.
