The Democracy Files, Part 13

🚨🚨 DEMOCRACY FILES / THE ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK, PART 13: THE NEW FOUNDING 🚨 The "democracy" ecosystem is mostly decentralized. There's competition sometimes (as this drop will show). But when a direction has been set by funders, actors converge towards a common goal. And that goal is: American government must be rewritten from scratch, and soon. RAD, the project of ex-USAID workers we've been tracing in the Democracy Files, represents one plan. PolicyLink represents another plan. What is PolicyLink? Towards the end of UNELECTED, I write about PolicyLink - a highly connected NGO which receives more than $50 million annually in funding. There, I describe its "soul work" - engineering the human soul to create a renewed democracy. That's not an exaggeration; that's how they describe it, in their own words. PolicyLink appears again in the Democracy Files. Here, you can see PolicyLink personnel use the same language we've seen in prior drops: founders, a new founding, redesigning the federal government. PolicyLink has over $100 million in assets and receives its funding from all the usual suspects - Rockefeller, Open Society, Ford, Gates, etc. It has worked closely with Democratic administrations in setting policy. RAD and PolicyLink compete for the same funders and the same space. But they say the same thing: a "new founding," drafted by people no one elected, ready "before the window opens." RAD is perhaps simply more honest about how that window will open.

Oleshky Ceasefire Concludes

THE CEASEFIRE CONCLUDES The mission was a success, delivering critical aid to the region and enabling the evacuation of nearly 800 people. On behalf of America, I commend Russia and Ukraine for their leadership and cooperation surrounding the Oleshky ceasefire. I hope Oleshky serves as a foundation for lasting peace between both nations. The ceasefire began on October 27, 2026, and concluded on November 1, 2026, as planned.

This Is Institutional Rot Dressed Up in a Robe

Shameful indictment on the judiciary in this country. These judges have fallen so far from their pedestals.

— Lara Logan (@laralogan) November 2, 2026

… ballot as Senator Dan Sullivan in a ranked choice state that was already built to confuse people… and your answer is that nobody can do anything about it. That is what Judge Sharon Gleason just did. She threw out the DOJ lawsuit to set aside the ballots cast for the decoy Dan so the fraud could actually be investigated, and she did it for three reasons that should make every voter in this country sick. The federal government lacks standing. Separating those ballots would violate ballot secrecy. And it is too late to change anything this close to Election Day.

Let me explain what that means in plain English.

Democrats Are Dismantling the Rule of Law to Patch Over the Very Policing Crisis Their Own Soft-on-Crime Policies Created

The entire Democrat agenda is humiliating, subjugating and dispossessing Americans.

— Stephen Miller (@StephenM) November 1, 2026

… residents and DACA recipients with federal work and firearm authorization to apply to local law enforcement agencies.

This radical overreach by the Illinois Left is a direct assault on American sovereignty and a slap in the face to law-abiding citizens. By handing badge, gun, and arresting authority over Americans to non-citizens, Democrats are dismantling the rule of law to patch over the very policing crisis their own soft-on-crime policies created.

He Knows That He Committed a Criminal Act

The Fake Daniel J. Sullivan, Jr., has DISAPPEARED! Nobody can find him, including Law Enforcement. He knows that he committed a Criminal Act, but he also knows that there are those around him who, in a certain way, were far worse, like Lawyer Marc Elias, and Liberal Radical Left Activist “Lawyer” Norm Eisen. Others that are really bad, and corrupt, in so many ways, include Political Activists and Lowlives, Reid Hoffman, and Neville Roy Singham. These are CRIMINALS who totally abuse the Laws of our Land, and are destructive to our Country at levels never thought possible before.

Donald J Trump

Daniel J. Sullivan, the independent candidate running for Senate in Alaska whose name is almost identical to the Republican senator running for reelection, left his hometown of Petersburg earlier this week, multiple sources confirmed to CBS News. One resident and former student of Sullivan's said she saw Sullivan on a flight to Anchorage on Monday — two days before The New York Times first reported that he was recruited by operatives linked to Democrat Mary Peltola's campaign. https://t.co/hDk5Hc40g5

… of Sullivan's said she saw Sullivan on a flight to Anchorage on Monday — two days before The New York Times first reported that he was recruited by operatives linked to Democrat Mary Peltola's campaign.

The source added she did not know where Sullivan was headed, but another friend said he and his wife are known among friends as "world travelers."

Sullivan's current whereabouts after leaving his hometown are not clear.

Dozens of Petersburg residents also told CBS News they never saw or received any campaign materials like mailers, flyers, brochures or signs since the former elementary school teacher announced his candidacy last spring.

"I don't think it's a serious candidacy," said Andrew Worhatch, a Petersburg fisherman. "I haven't seen a platform."

Just days before the midterm elections, a CBS News crew on the ground in Petersburg likewise found no indication of any active campaigning by the candidate, including outside his own home, which sits adjacent to the main coastal highway.

Highly Respected Democrat, Who Narrowly Lost in the Primary to Abdul Mohamed El-Sayed Endorses Mike Rogers

Wow, this is BIG! Congresswoman Haley Stevens, a Highly Respected Democrat, who narrowly lost in the Primary to Abdul Mohamed El-Sayed, and who has been breathlessly wined and dined by the Dumocrats to help in their Michigan Campaign for the United States Senate against Mike Rogers, has just ENDORSED Mike Rogers for Senate! Her following is huge, and the level of respect from the People of Michigan, especially our African American and Jewish populations, is virtually unparalleled. Haley said what few people are willing to say. She showed great and almost unprecedented loyalty to the Great People of Michigan with what she did. It’s a thing called bravery, and few people have it like just displayed by Congresswoman Haley Stevens!

Mike Steger, 1 November 2026

Mike Steger examines the political confrontation in Poland, the growing tensions between European governments and President Trump, and the controversy surrounding Starlink's role in the Russia-Ukraine war.

Mike breaks down the struggle between Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President Karol Nawrocki, examining how Poland's sovereignty, its Supreme Court, and its relationship with the United States could influence the future of Europe.

He also examines warnings of financial instability, comments from former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and Vice President JD Vance, and proposals to nationalize Elon Musk's Starlink and SpaceX.

As Ukraine faces questions over reported Starlink restrictions, Mike explores the significance of Russian satellite maneuvers, the vulnerability of Western space infrastructure, and how a direct confrontation in space could disrupt GPS, communications, banking, energy systems, and the global economy.

Mike argues that Trump's diplomatic strategy represents an effort to prevent a broader conflict while pursuing lasting peace and a new international security framework.

The Democracy Files, Part 12

🚨🚨 THE DEMOCRACY FILES / THE INSURRECTION PLAYBOOK, PART 12: IS NORM EISEN CALLING THE SHOTS? 🚨 First, sorry for the absence of drops; I had to go on a last minute trip to DC and back. @nataliegwinters has been releasing many drops adjacent to the Democracy Files, including materials on ESRN and Norm Eisen. The Democracy Files, while significant, are told through the lenses of a mid-to-high level operatives group of ex-USAID workers, a group called DRG (Democracy Renewal Group). DRG, in these videos, collaborate with other groups, receive briefings from others such as Rear Admiral Mike Smith (RET), participate in and host working groups, and so forth. But DRG are not the shot-callers. They explicitly do not decide when a mass protest has to happen. They do not have a final say in what has to occur before mass mobilization occurs. Erica Chenoweth isn't personally secretly running things. Mike Smith is a high level operational leader, not a shot-caller. So who calls the shots? Put together the Democracy Files and Winters' drops, and a larger hierarchical picture emerges: ESRN, Election Safeguards Response Network, which is mentioned in @nataliegwinters reporting. The Democracy Files heavily suggests that ESRN is who ultimately calls the shots when it is time to mobilize United Democracy Alliance (UDA). And that particular trail leads directly to none other than Norm Eisen. Now, this does not mean Eisen is the unilateral mastermind. Most likely, that belongs to yet another mysterious small coalition of elites - we can only speculate on who else is in that club; ESRN is financed under State Democracy Defenders Action, EIN 93-1524544. But Eisen's hands are on a great many levers, and we can reasonably infer he is one of the key decision-making figures.

Put together the Democracy Files and Winters' drops, and a larger hierarchical picture emerges: ESRN, Election Safeguards Response Network, which is mentioned in Natalie Winters’ reporting. The Democracy Files heavily suggests that ESRN is who ultimately calls the shots when it is time to mobilize United Democracy Alliance (UDA).

And that particular trail leads directly to none other than Norm Eisen.

Now, this does not mean Eisen is the unilateral mastermind. Most likely, that belongs to yet another mysterious small coalition of elites - we can only speculate on who else is in that club; ESRN is financed under State Democracy Defenders Action, EIN 93-1524544.

… What strength and determination the Polish people showed! United, with heads held high and singing their anthem, they took to the streets and managed to thwart the coup d'état.

Without vandalism, without looting stores, and without destruction. A demonstration of courage, unity, and patriotism in defense of freedom and democracy.

They are an example for the entire West! 🇵🇱

Extraordinary. This is why we will win.
