Tulsi Exposes Biden’s Thought Police Playbook—And That’s Just the Opening Shot

Trump’s tariffs are wrecking China, Hamas is broke, and now the intel state’s worst secret is public—this week wasn’t just a win, it was a warning.

Apr 18, 2025

Good Morning, it’s Friday, April 18th, 2025.

It’s Friday, and the lid just blew off the surveillance state. Tulsi Gabbard declassified Biden’s domestic terror strategy—and it reads like a blueprint for turning patriots into suspects. Trump? He’s locking down critical minerals, wrecking China’s grip on rare earths, and pulling off historic trade talks that even Japan and Mexico are calling productive. Meanwhile, the Left’s favorite “victim” Kilmar Garcia is still the centerpiece of a meltdown, and Hamas is running out of cash and excuses. There’s no “normal” to return to—and that’s a good thing.

Biden’s Secret Domestic Terror Plan Just Got Declassified—and It’s a Blueprint for Total Control

Tulsi Gabbard just blew the lid off a censorship regime the Biden admin didn’t want you to see.

As Director of National Intelligence, Gabbard declassified a 15-page internal plan created by Biden’s team in June 2021. It was sold as a “domestic terrorism strategy,” but what it really revealed was a sweeping, government-led effort to spy on Americans, silence dissent, and reshape the definition of “threat” to include everything from conservative speech to resistance to pandemic mandates. It even included partnerships with Big Tech to flag “disinformation” and proposals for banning so-called “assault weapons” as part of counterterrorism.

Here’s what you need to know: this plan wasn’t about stopping violence—it was about labeling ordinary Americans as enemies of the state if they dared to challenge the regime. It called for “confronting long-term contributors” to domestic terrorism like online misinformation, promoting “civic education” to foster resilience to conservative ideas, and surveilling U.S. citizens in coordination with private companies.

Why it matters: The Biden admin quietly built an Orwellian playbook that targets speech, thought, and political affiliation. They didn’t want accountability—they wanted obedience. And it wasn’t just theoretical. This was the justification behind censorship, cancel culture, and federal pressure on platforms to suppress truth during COVID, elections, and the parental rights movement.

What they’re hiding: The mainstream press downplayed the plan, and even the ACLU called it dangerous. But now that it’s out, they’re pretending it’s old news. It’s not. This was the framework for a weaponized intelligence community—and Tulsi just made it public.

What they don’t want you to see: “We are already on this, and look forward to declassifying this and other instances of the government being weaponized against Americans.” That’s Gabbard’s promise—and the Left’s worst nightmare.

Bottom line: This plan wasn't about stopping violence. It was about labeling truth as terror, dissent as hate, and your rights as threats. Gabbard just lit the fuse. Now it’s our job to burn the rest of it down.

Trump Sees What the Media Won’t: China’s Economic Engine Is Already Cracking

The media screams “Trade War.” Trump sees a regime in free fall.

Behind the noise, China’s economy is rotting from the inside out—youth unemployment exploding, domestic spending collapsing, property markets imploding. And President Trump knows it. That’s why his tariffs aren’t just policy—they’re precision strikes aimed at China’s soft underbelly. According to Breitbart’s analysis, Trump’s real strategy is to expose China’s fragility, reshape the global supply chain, and crush the myth of the CCP’s invincibility.

Here’s why it matters: For decades, America’s elite sold out to Beijing. Politicians, Hollywood, the NBA, tech giants—they all looked the other way while China stole, censored, and committed genocide. Trump didn’t. He’s the first president to put economic nationalism into action and call China what it is: a hostile, failing power that got rich off our weakness.

What they’re hiding: The Biden crew—some of whom raked in millions from CCP-linked firms—painted Trump’s tariffs as reckless. But Chinese chip traders are already reporting collapsing orders. And with more U.S. firms reshoring production, China’s theft pipeline is drying up.

The real impact? Trump’s economic war is finally matching our national security interests. And when you hit the CCP in the wallet, their whole empire starts to buckle.

Hamas Is Broke, Isolated, and Falling Apart—And the Media’s Quiet About It

Hamas isn’t just losing on the battlefield—it’s going bankrupt in real time.

Thanks to Israel cutting off key aid routes and systematically targeting Hamas’s financial operatives, the terrorist group can’t even pay its own fighters. Salaries have been slashed or stopped altogether. Rank-and-file operatives were making just $200–$300 a month—and even that has dried up. The funding web Hamas built through black-market aid, international remittances, and taxes on humanitarian goods has collapsed under the weight of Israel’s pressure and the group’s own disarray.

Hamas used to rake in $15 million a month from Qatar. Now? They’re struggling to move cash inside Gaza without painting a target on themselves. Disbursement points have been shut down. Courier networks are in hiding. The entire system is cracking.

The liberal hypocrisy? Deafening silence. When Hamas was seizing humanitarian aid and reselling it for profit, not a peep from the “aid first” crowd. But now that Israel is finally choking the cash flow that funds rockets and terror tunnels, the Left screams “humanitarian crisis.” What’s really happening is strategic and effective economic warfare—and it’s working.

This is what happens when you treat terror like a system and not just a symbol. Hamas’s fighters aren’t quitting because of ideology—they’re quitting because there’s no paycheck.

Trump Locks In Critical Mineral Deal with Ukraine—And It’s a Direct Shot at China’s Grip

It’s happening. The U.S.-Ukraine mineral deal that stalled during a tense White House face-off in February is officially back on—and President Trump says it’ll be signed next week.

The agreement will secure American access to over 20 critical minerals buried beneath Ukraine’s soil, including titanium, lithium, and uranium—all vital for U.S. military, energy, and nuclear sectors. The Trump administration has made securing rare earths a cornerstone of its national security agenda, and this move directly undercuts China’s monopoly on global supply.

Real numbers? The deal could yield billions in future revenue. Under prior terms, Ukraine agreed to commit 50% of income from these resources to a joint investment fund focused on reconstruction. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed Thursday the new deal mirrors the original—and Trump didn’t flinch in getting it back on track.

The media’s avoiding one big angle: this isn’t just about minerals. It’s about geopolitical dominance. Biden talked about “green tech.” Trump just locked down the raw materials it’s built from.

This agreement strengthens Ukraine’s economy, gives the U.S. a competitive edge, and sends a message to adversaries: America’s not begging anymore—we’re building again.

Thanks for reading The Daily Briefing—the only newsletter that still calls a spade a damn shovel.
