Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard just dropped a bombshell that’s shaking the foundations of trust in our intelligence community.
Breitbart reported that Gabbard, through her newly formed Director’s Initiatives Group (DIG), is spearheading a sweeping reform of the intelligence community (IC), declassifying documents that expose past abuses, revoking security clearances of high-profile figures, and tackling everything from election vulnerabilities to wasteful spending.
Back in April, Gabbard set up the DIG with a clear mission: rebuild public confidence by rooting out politicization and ensuring transparency within the IC.
This task force, packed with experts from agencies like the CIA, FBI, and NSA, isn’t messing around—they’re enforcing President Donald Trump’s executive orders to halt federal overreach and censorship.
One of their first moves was declassifying documents from the Biden administration era, revealing a disturbing trend of labeling Americans with dissenting views as “domestic violent extremists.”
As Gabbard herself noted, there’s a “consistent thread” in these files that paints everyday citizens who questioned certain policies as dangerous threats—hardly the hallmark of a free society.
Take a chilling December 2021 report from the National Counterterrorism Center, FBI, and Department of Homeland Security, which warned of “conspiracy theories” and potential violence over schools possibly vaccinating kids without parental consent.
That’s right—questioning a policy could land you on a watchlist, a move that feels more like suppression than protection, especially when paired with court rulings like Vermont’s last year, where a family couldn’t even sue after their child was vaccinated against their wishes.
This isn’t just a one-off; late-May declassifications further confirmed the Biden administration’s habit of branding dissenters as extremists, a tactic that erodes trust in both government and public discourse.
Then there’s the accountability hammer—Gabbard’s team revoked security clearances for heavyweights like former President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and even prosecutors like Letitia James and Alvin Bragg.
In March, Gabbard personally announced clearances being stripped from figures like Hillary Clinton and former Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, signaling a no-nonsense approach to past election interference and improper leaks.
This isn’t just a purge; it’s a message that playing fast and loose with sensitive information or pushing partisan agendas won’t be tolerated anymore.
Beyond declassifications, the DIG is slashing wasteful diversity, equity, and inclusion programs within the IC and finalizing plans for downsizing and acquisitions reform to save taxpayer dollars—an effort an ODNI official described as reducing “government waste.”
They’re also digging into election infrastructure weaknesses from 2020 and 2022, interviewing whistleblowers about politicized intelligence like the Russian collusion narrative, and exploring intelligence community ties to tech industries that “may have been used” to curb free speech—talk about a tangled web.
With more declassifications on the horizon, including files on historic assassinations like JFK and MLK, plus investigations into U.S. funding of risky biolab research halted by Trump’s May executive order, Gabbard’s transparency push is just getting started.
