Executive Summary
The headline was simple: the CIA raided the Director of National Intelligence’s office. The reality is more complicated — and far more consequential. Mel K joined Joe Pags on the Joe Pags Show this week to walk Americans through what is actually happening behind the news cycle, and why the war on Donald Trump has very little to do with Donald Trump.
The DNI, Tulsi Gabbard, denied a “raid” but confirmed that the CIA had been in the building and that papers were taken. The CIA claims those papers were MKUltra files and JFK records — categories of material that, by every official account, should no longer exist or should already be public. Helms destroyed roughly 100,000 MKUltra files in the 1970s. The remaining JFK records have been the subject of multiple executive orders demanding their release. Yet here we are.
The reason this matters is what Tulsi Gabbard has actually done in office. She pulled the President’s Daily Briefing away from the CIA. She removed In-Q-Tel — the CIA’s venture-capital arm — from CIA control. She moved the intelligence community’s analysis function under DNI oversight. This is the first time, since the Patriot Act created the DNI in 2004, that the office has actually exercised the authority it was supposed to have. The CIA does not like it. The CIA never has.
And the people running the resistance are not hiding. John Brennan brags about “legions” of CIA agents aligned with him. James Comey says on television that current FBI agents brief him daily. Roughly 400 former CIA personnel are listed openly at steadystate.org as opposing the sitting president. None of them appear afraid. That is the story. Scroll to the bottom for Key Takeaways.
The Architecture Was Built Between 1944 And 1954
What we are watching dismantled today was built during a single ten-year window after the Second World War. The Dulles brothers — Allen at the CIA, John Foster at State — were Wall Street lawyers before they were government officials. They represented multinational clients. They negotiated with German industry during the war. They oversaw Operation Paperclip, which brought Nazi scientists and operatives to American soil under new identities and embedded them in our universities, our pharmaceutical industry, and our intelligence operations.
MKUltra was not a domestic American invention — it was a continuation of mind-control science that had been tested at Auschwitz and other concentration camps. The scientists who ran those experiments did not disappear with the Reich. Many of them became American citizens with new names, and the work continued — at Harvard, at Stanford, on heroin addicts and unwitting volunteers, under the cover of psychology and social-science research.
The Dulles brothers’ first two CIA operations were corporate coups. Iran 1953, on behalf of BP Oil. Guatemala 1954, on behalf of United Fruit. The pattern was set before the agency was a decade old: a clandestine service marketed as a Cold War shield, running money-making regime changes for multinational clients whose law firms employed the men giving the orders.
JFK saw all of this. In his April 1961 press speech he warned of “infiltration instead of invasion” — and a lot of people wrote it off as Cold War rhetoric about communism. Mel K’s read, which her new book documents, is that JFK was warning about the Dulles architecture itself. He was killed in November 1963. Truman, who created the CIA, said publicly after the fact that he never should have done it — that the agency had become a Gestapo. Eisenhower warned of the military-industrial complex. Reagan warned about the agency’s reach. Every president who tried to confront it ended up dead, disgraced, or sidelined — until now.
The Color Revolution Playbook Came Home
The CIA perfected its color revolution model in Europe during the construction of the European Union. Ukraine was a CIA operation from the 1990s onward. When Donald Trump began questioning what was happening in that region during his first term, a group of CIA officers who had worked that beat reportedly decided they had to “step in” on American soil. That decision became Russiagate.
Russiagate was not a counterintelligence investigation. It was a CIA-MI6 operation run domestically. Mel K is increasingly skeptical there is even a meaningful distinction between the two services anymore. Fifty-one former intelligence officials, including five former CIA directors, signed the October 2020 letter dismissing the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian disinformation. They knew it was authentic. Anthony Blinken solicited the letter on behalf of the Biden campaign. Michael Morell drafted it. Biden weaponized it in the final debate. The election turned on it.
During Trump’s first term, the same group operated a private firm called WestExec Advisors — a parallel State Department that gave Obama-era officials a paycheck and a chain of command during the years they were formally out of power. The CIA delivered Trump distorted daily briefings throughout that period. He did not have the authority to verify them. That has now changed under Tulsi Gabbard, and that is one of the reasons the architecture is in a panic.
January 6th: The Numbers Wray Disclosed Himself
Chris Wray, on the record, confirmed that approximately 270 FBI agents were present in the crowd at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Later reporting puts the number at 274. He described their function as “crowd control.” But the agents wore no vests, no patches, no identifying markings. They were dressed as Trump supporters. Anyone who has ever seen a police line knows that crowd control performed without visible identification is not crowd control — it is something else.
Within two minutes of the Capitol breach, while Donald Trump was still speaking at the Ellipse more than a mile away, Speaker Pelosi suspended ordinary certification protocol and moved to emergency procedure. The ten elected representatives who had announced their intention to challenge the 2020 electoral count never received the floor. The legal pathway to question the election closed within hours of the breach. Yogananda Pittman, who ran the Capitol Police operation that day, is now the subject of new reporting that fills in more of the picture.
Meanwhile Arctic Frost — an FBI surveillance program run under Wray, Lisa Monaco, and Merrick Garland — appears to have warrantlessly surveilled approximately three million American citizens. Jack Smith was appointed as special counsel under what multiple legal scholars argue is an unconstitutional structure. The Mar-a-Lago raid will, in time, become a criminal investigation of the people who authorized it. None of those three numbers — 274, 3 million, zero charges — should sit comfortably with anyone.
Why Trump Is Hated And Why The Architecture Is Panicking
The hostility directed at Donald Trump has very little to do with Donald Trump. He is the wrecking ball, not the wreckage. The post-World War II international architecture — the BIS, the IMF, the World Bank, the CIA, USAID, the National Endowment for Democracy, the constellation of foundations and NGOs that operate above nations — is what is being dismantled. Trillions of dollars are at stake. Decades of operational reach. Hundreds of careers built on access that is no longer guaranteed.
Mel K is increasingly convinced that the very public attention on the CIA right now is by design. President Trump knows how to shift the entire national conversation, and the conversation has shifted. The American people are looking at the CIA for the first time in a meaningful way since 1953. That is when JFK started the fight. That is when Truman publicly regretted what he had built. Mel K’s read is that we are still fighting the battle JFK fought, and this time We the People have to win it.
Chuck Grassley and Senator Mike Lee are working with UBS in Switzerland right now, uncovering the Nazi ratlines that ran through Italy and Argentina into American universities, NGOs, and pharmaceutical companies. The spider’s web is finally being mapped. The architecture is being named. And the people who built it are not going quietly.
We The People Are The Answer
This is not left versus right anymore. There is no Democratic Party in any meaningful sense. What exists is the Democrat Socialists of America aligned with the Progressive International aligned with political Islam aligned with the globalist machine that wants the nation-state erased. The “useful idiots” at the No Kings rallies do not understand that the Islamists at their side consider them infidels — and the moment the alliance is no longer useful, they are the first to go.
The architecture has one play left: wait Donald Trump out and resume Agenda 2030 on schedule. Barack Obama and Alex Soros recently flew to Canada and said exactly that to Prime Minister Carney, on stage, without irony. They are not hiding the plan. They are counting on We the People to forget what they just saw.
The midterms and 2028 are our last stand. Show up. Pay attention. Refuse the platoons. Read the history. Name the architects. Vote like the country depends on it — because it does.

Frequently Asked Questions
Did the CIA actually raid Tulsi Gabbard’s DNI office?
The DNI denied a “raid” but confirmed that CIA personnel were in the building and that papers were removed. The CIA characterized the material as MKUltra and JFK files. Both of those categories should not still be active operational files in 2026 — Helms destroyed roughly 100,000 MKUltra records in the 1970s, and multiple executive orders have demanded the JFK material be released. So whatever was actually taken, the official story does not add up.
Why isn’t anyone being charged for Russiagate or the Hunter Biden laptop letter?
Mel K asked Joe the same question on the show. The honest answer is that the architecture has protected its own for eighty years. Brennan and Comey appear on national television and brag about it. They are either confident the system still shields them, or they have immunity arrangements we don’t know about, or both. The fact that the question is being asked publicly — by sitting senators, by the DNI, by Kash Patel — is itself the change.
What is In-Q-Tel and why does it matter that the DNI pulled it from CIA control?
In-Q-Tel is the CIA’s venture-capital arm. It quietly invests taxpayer money into Silicon Valley companies, including surveillance and data-analytics firms, and uses those investments to shape product roadmaps in ways favorable to the agency. Pulling In-Q-Tel out of CIA oversight removes the surveillance state’s ability to operate through private-sector cover. It is one of the most consequential structural moves of the Trump administration and almost nobody is talking about it.
Is “Steady State” real and where can I see it?
Yes. The website is steadystate.org. It lists roughly 400 former CIA personnel openly working to oppose the sitting president. Their spokesman Steve Cash has acknowledged warning General Flynn early in the first term that Trump was an existential threat. It is publicly browsable.
What can ordinary Americans do about any of this?
Two things. First, learn the history — Mel K’s Infiltration Instead of Invasion: America Betrayed (1944–1954) documents the ten-year window when most of this architecture was built. Second, act locally. Show up to your school board, your county commissioner meetings, your state legislature. The architecture was built top-down through institutions; the repair happens bottom-up through citizens. Sovereignty starts where you live.
