The Sabotage of Trump's Administration

Of Pence, Pompeo and Olivia Troye

Dec 27, 2023

Before getting into the ‘meat’ of this article, I want to briefly touch upon a couple of other topics.

First, the Economy …

I was thinking about this the other day and have come to the conclusion that if one’s stock market investment portfolio is keeping pace with the stock market this year, you are likely a complete moron. It’s the equivalent of someone ice skating on a frozen lake in late April. In order to keep pace with the stock market this year, you had to take an immense amount of risk, while all ‘real’ signs are pointing to a flailing economy.

In 2023, almost all the gains in the S&P 500 have come from 7 tech stocks—mostly artificial intelligence (AI) related stocks. A year ago, there was a big push for AI with the release of ChatGPT, and soon after, Wall Street poured money into stocks that supported AI. The other 493 companies that make up the S&P 500 are pretty much flat for the year.

I believe this is all a scam, a coordinated effort to build up these AI stocks. The people ‘in on it’ bought the AI stocks that were crushed in 2022, then pushed the ‘AI will save the world’ narrative to profit from it.

Here’s how stock market fluctuations generally work: when an economy starts to show signs of slowing down, the first stocks that get sold off are usually tech/growth stocks. This happened in early 2022 when it was apparent the FED was going to raise interest rates to fight out of control inflation. The NASDAQ (consisting of growth/tech stocks) was crushed—the NASDAQ ended the year down -33%. In 2023, with even more signs of a weakening economy, the NASDAQ has regained everything it lost the year prior. It doesn’t make any logical sense. It does make sense if you believe there has been a coordinated effort to manipulate the stock market through the push of AI.

I do believe the stock market and economy will normalize and thrive once Trump is back in office, so this temporary craziness doesn’t bother me so much. In fact, I believe there must be ‘fail-safes’ currently in place keeping the US economy from completely melting down. In other words, I believe the Biden Administration isn’t being allowed to totally kill the American economy, just deeply wound it.

Before I move on from the economy, some more bad news: homelessness is up 14% in 2023, personal bankruptcies are up 13%, and corporate bankruptcies are up 30%. Personal savings are at an all-time low, while credit card debt is at an all-time high. This is why Biden isn’t relying on his four years in office to get re-elected, but is making claims things will be worse if Trump gets back in office.

Ignore the facts and focus on assumptions.

The Republican Debates

I mentioned this a couple of months ago, but these debates are all a ‘show’, psyops and reverse psyops.

Yes, the Deep State wants to have someone else running for POTUS other than Trump, and they realize that to keep Trump from becoming POTUS, they probably need to keep him off the GOP ticket. They started off by putting their money and support behind DeSantis, but that didn’t work out too well, so now they are getting behind Nikki Haley.

Haley is the poster child of a RINO/Neocon. Whoever pays her the most will get her allegiance. Right now, it seems the Military Industrial Complex is writing the biggest checks to her.

Vivek Ramaswamy is doing Trump’s dirty work for him. He is saying all the things Trump would say if he was taking part in the debates. Vivek is exposing the Neocons for what they are: ‘bought and paid for.’ If Trump was at the debates making Vivek’s points, he would come across as being cruel, divisive and dividing. Vivek is doing the heavy lifting for Trump, so Trump doesn’t risk hurting his back.

‘Good cop, bad cop.’ After Vivek beats a confession out of them, Trump can come into the interrogation room and offer them a cigarette, a cup of coffee and a shoulder to cry on.

Also, what’s happening with politicians suddenly resigning en masse? I haven’t a clue. Are they trying to weaken the GOP control of the House to get Deep State funding passed, to launder as much money as possible before Trump takes over again? Have they ‘cut a deal’—get out now and they won’t be prosecuted. Are they afraid of the Epstein flight log being released? Time will tell, but just because someone avoids being on the flight log doesn’t mean they aren’t compromised; it could mean they already cut a deal by agreeing to resign, or to not run for office again. The list of people who cut deals probably goes back a few years, to when Trump first became POTUS. Don’t be shocked to discover some of your favorite Deep Staters aren’t on the list.

A pet peeve of mine is when people say someone has to be working against Trump and they can’t be trusted because of something they did or said two or five, or twenty years ago. In my opinion, 99% of CEOs and politicians are compromised. Some have cut deals, the good guys can’t put everyone in prison, if they did, the economy would collapse, and a civil war would occur, much worse than we are experiencing now. I don’t get why people don’t understand this.

Just because a guy said the elections weren’t stolen three years ago doesn’t mean he hasn’t cut a deal, had his strings cut and is now working to get Trump back in office now. Having someone who thinks or was compromised into saying the election was fair now supporting Trump might get other ‘fair-electionists’ to vote for Trump. Having a Covid vaxxer support Trump might get other vaxxers to vote for him. Having a ‘J-6 insurrection believer’ support Trump might get other ‘insurrectionists’ to vote for Trump. In other words, people who have disagreed with certain things Trump has been perceived to say or do are being given the ‘green light’ to vote for him. They don’t have to agree with him on everything.

We can all complain about how crazy the Left is and how ridiculous progressive policies are, but the truth is, the RINOs and Neocons are the bigger enemy. They aren’t just traitors to the country as a whole, they are traitors to the people they represent, the people who believe these parasites are fighting for conservative values. The truth is, they are ‘sellouts’ to the highest bidder. When Trump was POTUS, he didn’t just fight for his political life against the progressive liberals, he had to deal with people who were supposed to be on his side, constantly sabotaging him and stabbing him in the back.

Some conservatives still refuse to support Trump because they believe he didn’t do enough to close the border, and that he allowed poisonous Covid vaccines to be produced and distributed, as though Trump physically patrolled the Southern Border and was in the labs developing the vaccines. While Trump was trying to secure the borders and free up the economy, his efforts were being sabotaged the whole way, from within his administration and from outside of it.

Olivia Troye

This name is probably not familiar to a lot of people reading this, which is probably a good thing. It probably means you have a better work/life balance than the person writing this.

From Wikipedia:

Originally from El Paso, Texas, Olivia Troye graduated from University of Pennsylvania, the National Defense University College of International Affairs, and the Naval Postgraduate School.
After graduating from college, Troye worked for the Republican National Committee. She began a career in national security after the September 11 attacks. She served in the Pentagon as a George W. Bush Administration appointee. Troye was an intelligence official in the DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis serving as chief of strategy, policy, and plans. Troye worked in the Office of the Vice President of the United States as the homeland security and counterterrorism advisor to Vice President Pence and served as an aide to the White House Coronavirus Task Force.
While Troye says she resigned in August of 2020, Mike Pence's national security adviser, Keith Kellogg, claims he fired her and "escorted her off the compound." He has also more generally accused her of lying about her time in the Trump-Pence administration. Troye has denied the allegations.
After leaving the White House, Troye became an outspoken critic against the Trump Administration's response on the COVID-19 pandemic. She later publicly supported Joe Biden for the 2020 United States presidential election. Troye endorsed Biden in a video released by Republican Voters Against Trump.
In the wake of the collapse of the Afghan government and the fall of Kabul in August 2021, Troye called attention to deliberate obstruction of the visa process during the Trump Administration, especially by Stephen Miller, for Afghans who were partners with U.S. efforts in Afghanistan.
In August 2020, Troye joined the National Insurance Crime Bureau as vice president of strategy, policy, and plans. Troye is also an advisor to Defending Democracy Together, a conservative, anti-Donald Trump political group known for the "Republicans for the Rule of Law" initiative.
In 2020, Troye, along with over 130 other former Republican national security officials, signed a statement that asserted that President Trump was unfit to serve another term, and "To that end, we are firmly convinced that it is in the best interest of our nation that Vice President Joe Biden be elected as the next President of the United States, and we will vote for him."
According to CNN, Troye is a lifelong Republican. She described herself as a "John McCain Republican" in a video released by Republican Voters Against Trump.

I honestly don’t know what to make of Mike Pence, but it’s clear that the Deep State infiltrated the Trump White House through Pence’s staff.

Whether these saboteurs were known to be traitors from the very beginning or whether it was discovered later on is something I don’t have the answer to. It’s possible Trump was aware they were traitors from the very beginning and that these traitors were fed misinformation to give to the Deep State. It’s also possible it took time to discover they were moles. Whichever is the case, once it was no longer valuable to have them around, they were jettisoned from the White House.

Olivia Troye checks off all the boxes for being a Deep State RINO/Neocon: she graduated from University of Pennsylvania, she was a George W. Bush Administration appointee and she went from Homeland Security to the Coronavirus Task Force. Immediately after being fired, she devoted her career to attacking Trump, trying to keep him from being reelected. She even considers herself a “John McCain Republican.” She glows RINO/Neocon.

Even though Olivia Troye claims she resigned, it seems pretty apparent she was caught sabotaging the Trump Administration and was fired and escorted out of the building because of it. She was fired just a few months before the 2020 election. The question I don’t have the answer to is whether she was fired right when it was discovered she was a saboteur, or if she was fired when it was no longer useful to have her around. Another question I don’t have the answer to is whether or not Pence was in on it.

Olivia Troye’s post-Trump White House Endeavors

From Wikipedia:

Republicans for the Rule of Law is the principal initiative of the conservative, anti-Donald Trump political group Defending Democracy Together, founded by Bill Kristol, Mona Charen, Linda Chavez, Sarah Longwell, and Andy Zwick in 2019. The project created an advertising campaign to pressure Republican members of Congress to "demand the facts" about the Trump-Ukraine scandal during the impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump.
The group describes itself as being comprised of "life-long Republicans dedicated to defending the institutions of our republic and upholding the rule of law" and primarily consists of traditionally Republican lawyers. The group's legal advisory board includes Charles Fried, who served as U.S. Solicitor General under Ronald Reagan, Wendell Willkie II, grandson of 1940 Republican presidential nominee Wendell Willkie and Chris Truax, the group's spokesman. Former Republican U.S. Senator Slade Gorton of Washington state also served on the group's board.
As the movement to impeach Trump got underway, the group spent over $1 million running cable television advertisements on Fox News and MSNBC, calling on Republicans to "demand the facts" about Trump and Ukraine. The group's ad campaigns also accuse Trump of abusing his office to enrich himself, citing Trump's attempt to hold the 2020 G7 summit at Trump's own Doral resort, and encouraged Republicans to publicly oppose Trump's efforts to solicit foreign interference in U.S. elections^. The ads aired on programs that attract Republican voters.

This can’t be said enough—the Deep State playbook has always been to accuse Trump of what “they” are actually doing.

While Hilary Clinton was selling Uranium to Russia, they blamed Trump of being a puppet of Putin. While the Deep State was enriching themselves through illegal activities in Ukraine, they tried to impeach Trump for calling Zelenskyy, asking him to investigate the corruption.

From an article written in The Bulwark by Olivia Troye in May of 2021 (nine months after leaving the Trump Administration):

How the Trump Administration Twisted Coronavirus Intelligence
Rather than use intelligence to inform the government's response to the pandemic, the Trump administration tried to bend the facts for political ends.
From those first briefings in January to the present, the definitive account of where SARS-CoV-2 came from has been uncertain. But that didn’t stop some from making irresponsible assumptions. A January 26, 2020, Washington Times article linking the Wuhan Institute to “Beijing’s covert bio-weapons program” caught the eye of some in the White House. (The article has since been updated to reflect that its insinuations are insufficiently substantiated.) Over the course of several weeks in late January and February, Pence asked multiple times to be briefed specifically about the allegations in the article. Public reporting indicates that then, as now, the intelligence community could not corroborate nor refute them.
Through the month of February 2020, Pence and his chief of staff issued further questions about the lab leak theory to the intelligence community. It’s not unusual for intelligence consumers, especially at the highest levels of government, to ask the intelligence community to answer their questions, and the possibility that SARS-CoV-2 was accidentally released from the Wuhan lab can’t be discounted.
In his requests for more information, it wasn’t Pence’s behavior that was questionable, but his apparent motives.
[…]
Although I was unaware of it at the time, it appears the Trump administration attempted to do through the State Department what the intelligence community would not.
[…]
Also in March, Pompeo declared publicly that he had seen “enormous evidence” for the lab leak theory, contradicting the intelligence community without disclosing his sources.
The next month, Trump followed his lead, telling reporters he had a “high degree of confidence”—an intelligence term of art for an assessment backed by significant data unsuited to alternate explanations—that the Wuhan lab was the origin of the virus. When asked where he got his evidence, he dodged, “I can’t tell you that. I’m not allowed to tell you that,” from which any reasonable person would infer classified intelligence sources, not a months-old Washington Times article.
[…]
Throughout the course of the pandemic, the Trump administration’s first and strongest instinct was to find a scapegoat rather than formulate a response. Whether or not their pet theory turns out to have been right, they will have supported it for the wrong reasons.

A few things that I took from this article: it appears Pence and Pompeo were working with Trump to find the origin of the alleged “Covid Virus”. Olivia Troye seemed to insinuate that Trump, Pence, and Pompeo were not interested in stopping the spread of the “virus,” but rather using it for political purposes.

It appears the CIA was not willing or interested in finding the source of the alleged virus. They chose to take an ‘I can’t confirm or deny’ stance on the origin of Covid. And while it appears the CIA wasn’t interested in finding the origin of Covid, it seems Olivia Troye was very interested and willing to protect the reputation of the CIA as well as China.

We have a Bush appointee, seemingly protecting the CIA, which sounds about right.

Why does it seem no one but Trump’s inner circle was interested in finding the origin of Covid? The media didn’t seem to care where it came from, the CIA didn’t seem to care, Fauci and his people didn’t seem to care—even the RINOs, Neocons and progressive liberals didn’t seem to care. It is very odd that the Deep State as a whole seemed to share a disinterest in the origin of the alleged “deadly” virus.

Not caring where Covid came from is like not caring to know where you got food poisoning. If you got food poisoning at Thanksgiving Dinner (which I did this year,) would you care about what part of the dinner got you sick, or would you just reheat everything and eat the leftovers the next day? No, you would either throw everything out or determine what in the dinner got you sick and throw that out.

Olivia Troye and others in the Deep State seemed to think all Trump should have been focused on was dealing with the symptoms of Covid. It’s so ironic that she accused Trump’s inner circle of making Covid political, when in fact the Covid narrative was a political hit job on Trump. Yet again, they accuse Trump of the things the Deep State is doing.

Obviously, when trying to treat or eradicate anything you must find the source. It’s pretty clear by the lack of curiosity of where Covid came from who created it and was actually using it as a political tool.

Another interesting point taken from Troye’s article is the fact that the Trump inner circle no longer trusted the CIA. They bypassed them the final year Trump was in office.

Imagine having access to the CIA—possibly the most powerful information resource in the world—and you choose not to use them.

They weren’t used to further pursue the origins of Covid, or to expose Antifa or the BLM riots, or the election fraud. Trump chose to use other intelligence resources such as the State Department his final year in office. It’s like choosing not to drive your 4X4 truck in a snowstorm and instead driving your rear-wheel-drive sedan. It only makes sense if you fully understand the CIA was directly working against Trump.

Let me reiterate, I have no idea what to make of Mike Pence or Mike Pompeo. In a recent Roseanne Barr Podcast, Tucker Carlson said Mike Pompeo as the Director of the CIA tried to have Julian Assange assassinated in 2017 by having his food poisoned while he was taking political asylum at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.

Every news article I have read about the subject matter has said that as Director of the CIA, Pompeo “discussed” kidnapping or assassinating Assange. In other words, the CIA “war gamed” if they chose to do it, how they would do it. To me this is a lot different than actually attempting to kill Assange. I don’t know who is right in this matter—Carlson or the MSM.

Tucker Carlson also said he personally told Trump that Pompeo was not a good person, and he was a “flatterer”. Trump hired Pompeo to be the Director of the CIA when he took office and later moved him to become the Secretary of State after he fired Rex Tillerson in April of 2018. Gina Haspel replaced Pompeo at the CIA.

Why did Trump Fire Tillerson?

Tillerson was a former ExxonMobil executive who had close ties to Russia and Putin through his ‘energy’ background. It seems the biggest ‘beef’ Trump had with Tillerson was Tillerson’s support of Obama’s Iran Nuclear Agreement. Trump thought it was a horrible deal, as did Mike Pompeo. Trump viewed Pompeo as being a loyal person.

Many people have been critical of Trump for making some bad hiring choices, but honestly, it’s possible there weren’t enough ‘beyond reproach’ politicians in DC to fill all the positions that needed to be filled when Trump took office. It’s possible that Trump had to pick and choose who he could work with and who he couldn’t work with. It appears ‘loyalty’ is the one trait Trump requires. If you work against him behind his back, he can’t use you. If you are loyal, and push forth his agenda, he can look beyond your past deeds or current lack of morals.

Why did Trump hire Haspel to replace Pompeo at the CIA? Was it at this point that Trump realized he could no longer trust or use the CIA, therefore he put a Deep State puppet in charge of it? Again, it appears that once Trump moved Pompeo to the State Department, he started using the State Department for intel.

Back to Olivia Troye—she was serving in the Department of Homeland Security the first year and a half of Trump’s term before joining Pence’s staff. According to her, she left because of Trump’s handling of the Covid crisis. He was obsessed with finding the origin of Covid, getting a vaccine fast-tracked and opening the country back up. She claimed he only wanted to get a vaccine available to open up the economy so that he would be re-elected.

According to Troye, opening the country back up, getting the economy back on track, and getting back to normal were all selfish goals of Trump.

Think about this—right before the 2020 Election, the Deep State was against fast-tracking a Covid vaccine; they thought it was too dangerous to do so. But immediately after the 2020 Election was stolen, they were all for making a vaccine available to the public and opening up the country again.

Why the big ‘change of heart’ from immediately before to immediately after the election?

I think we all know the answer to this question.

After leaving the Trump Administration, Troye immediately joined forces with other known RINO/Neocon Trump-haters to try and keep Trump from being re-elected. She quickly made the Deep State Media rounds, smearing Trump as being ‘unfit’ to serve as POTUS. She couldn’t even take any time off after being ‘canned’ in August because the election was only three months away.

For the mind-controlled, hearing Trump’s own people think he is unfit to serve is more powerful than hearing it from the Democrats. The only problem is they aren’t actually Trump’s own people, just Deep State traitors.

From The New Yorker in September of 2020:

“It Was All About the Election”: The Ex-White House Aide Olivia Troye on Trump’s Narcissistic Mishandling of COVID-19.
The first staffer on the coronavirus task force to go public tells The New Yorker that America’s pandemic response was “derailed by the person at the very top.”
Troye, who served as Vice-President Mike Pence’s adviser for homeland security until late July, has witnessed the Administration’s response to the crisis as Pence’s top aide on the White House coronavirus task force. She had seen Trump rant in private about Fox News coverage as his public-health advisers desperately tried to get him to focus on a disease that has now killed some two hundred thousand Americans. She had decided that Trump was lying to the American public about the disease, and that “words matter, especially when you’re the President of the United States,” and that it was time to speak out. She was nervous and scared and worried for her family and her career. But she plunged ahead anyway.
[…]
She said that Trump was “disruptive.” That he could not “focus.” That he was consumed by himself and his prospects in November. “For him, it was all about the election,” Troye told me. “He just can’t seem to care about anyone else besides himself.”
Troye joined the coronavirus task force when it was first established, in late January, before any Americans had died from covid-19. Her experience on it, Troye told me, convinced her that Trump’s handling of the situation—the conscious spreading of disinformation, the disregard for the task force’s work—had made the crisis far worse for Americans. She warned about the President’s push for a vaccine before the November election and said that she did not trust him to do the right thing for the country’s health and safety. “What I’m really concerned about is if they rush this vaccine and pressure people and get something out because they want to save the election,” she said.
[…]
Civil servants like her were reviled as “deep staters” by Trump’s political appointees, she said. They were viewed with even more suspicion after Trump’s impeachment in the House, in December, was aided by testimony from mid-level White House staffers, including Jennifer Williams, Pence’s national-security aide, who worked in the office next to Troye’s.
[…]
Troye adds, “It was shocking to see the President saying that the virus was a hoax, saying that everything was O.K. when it was not,” despite what he had been very clearly told in private. Troye ends the video by calling herself a “John McCain Republican” and endorsing Trump’s opponent, Joe Biden.

Reading this reminds me of how Kamala Harris said she wouldn’t take a vaccine developed by the Trump Administration.

From a 9/5/20 Politico article:

Democratic vice-presidential nominee Kamala Harris said she wouldn’t take President Donald Trump’s word on the reliability of any coronavirus vaccine released before the election.

On 12/29/20, three weeks before Trump left office, but after the 2020 election, Kamala Harris took her first Covid Vaccine shot. So apparently, she wasn’t concerned about the vaccine’s safety, she just didn’t want Trump to get any credit for getting one on the market so quickly.

I also don’t think it is coincidental that Big Pharma didn’t have a vaccine ready until a month after the election. They dragged their feet just long enough to get Trump out of office, then they made billions selling it, while Biden’s White House forced it on people and taxpayers had to fund it.

Getting back to Olivia Troye again, I think it’s interesting to read that Trump’s political appointees viewed ‘government agency lifers’ as being “Deep Staters”. Trump-appointed staffers didn’t trust the ‘lifelong government agents,’ in my opinion, for good reason. It seems Troye entered the White House around the same time Tillerson was removed from the White House. Was one mole replaced with another one?

With Trump currently sporting a massive lead in the presidential polls, Troye is again making the media rounds attacking Trump. She has been on The View pushing gun control, as well as condemning Trump for his handling of the Covid crisis; she just won’t let it go. She claims he minimized Covid’s deadliness, calling it a hoax, which makes me like him even more.

Let’s be honest, the Covid narrative was a hoax, a political ‘hit job’ on Trump—a means of stealing the election. We’ve all experienced what has happened to the country since removing Trump from office.

Olivia Troye has also accused Trump of behaving inappropriately towards women while in the White House, which of course is the easiest way to malign someone in the media without any real proof. As if all of her attacks on Trump weren’t enough, she even claims he badmouths his supporters (MAGA) behind closed doors.

She can’t seem to help herself; she just keeps adding to the accusations until you get to a point where it becomes too much for anyone to believe. She seems to know so much about Trump, even though no one seemed to trust her or confide in her. She seemed to be ok working within the Trump Administration until she was fired and escorted out of the building, then she felt the need to dedicate her life to slandering him.

As we get closer to the 2024 Election, expect more people like Troye to crawl out from the woodwork, slinging accusations at Trump, claiming to have firsthand, insider knowledge. The more people that come forward, the more you know how desperate the Deep State is to keep Trump from getting back into the White House.

The first time around, the Republican Party picked staff members for Trump. The next time around, Trump will have a staff surrounding him that he hand picked, whom he can trust. This time around, there will be no one within the White House who will be sabotaging him and working against him.

January 20, 2025, will be glorious.
