On March 15, at 3:42 pm, Attorney General Barr officially declared the National Emergency on the southern border to be in effect. The declaration came shortly after twelve Republican senators defected to vote with Democrats on rescinding Trump’s initial emergency declaration. The vote prompted the first veto of Trump’s presidency, which was followed shortly by AG Barr’s press conference during which Barr re-affirmed the legality of the declaration. The bill rescinding the

In an era of media and social-media saturation, sensationalism, and hyperbole, many people on all sides find reason to become disheartened. We are told that our complete collapse from climate change, from social unrest, from nuclear war, from terrorism is inevitable. CNN, the Washington Post, and the omnipresent social media algorithms convince us disaster is always imminent, lurking behind every corner, just waiting for us to look away from the screen. Sadly, this phenomenon

What a month it has been! The all-important midterm elections are fast approaching, and if you think the last 30 days were chaotic, just wait. The difference between the two months prior to the 2016 Presidential Election and the 2018 Midterm Elections? In 2016, the Deep-State treated Trump as a joke. In 2018, they aren’t laughing anymore. The first eighteen months of the Trump Presidency was a behind the scenes chess game between corrupt bureaucrats, intelligence operatives,

One of the foundational purposes of this newsletter is provide insight into an ongoing battle which is being waged covertly and which the public at large is only recently beginning to understand.

Imagine this. You are part of a small select group of powerful military leaders, intelligence officers, politicians, and businessmen who effectively change the course of your entire nation on a daily basis. Your country has just won the biggest conflict in human history. You are the world’s only super-power and you intend to remain the world’s only super-power. In order to do this, you have to make sure the other country that just won the world’s biggest conflict with you as

Do you feel it? Can you sense it in the air? Something is occurring under the very noses of the American public, hidden in plain sight. At this stage, it would seem most Americans are still plugged-in to mainstream propaganda outlets or are having trouble finding an alternative source of information that is credible to others. There is a lesson in this: You cannot rely on a third party to tell you the truth. This goes for OSI:DI as well. OSI:DI encourages our readers to do as

This weekend, a drastic shift in the geo-political situation has occurred. There can be no overstating this: the events currently unfolding in Saudi Arabia are historic in nature, and will have massive repercussions. So what happened?
