A retired army officer is gravely involved in regards to the weaponization of presidency, and he’s changing into extra vocal about his personal experiences to show them—notably because the harrassment towards he and his fellow Individuals continues underneath the Biden administration.

The Gateway Pundit spoke to Lt. Col. (ret.) Ivan Raiklin, a constitutional legal professional, former Military Inexperienced Beret, and former teacher on the Protection Intelligence Company (DIA). Raiklin mentioned the U.S. Capitol Police Board, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Division of Homeland Safety (DHS), and Division of Protection (DOD) have been “weaponized” towards tens of 1000’s of individuals, together with himself.

Based on him, these departments of the manager department have been—and proceed to be—used to “exploit and implement lawlessness” towards the American individuals.

Raiklin was very outspoken on social media about “the unlawful certification” of President Joe Biden on January 6, 2021. To today, he continues to seek the advice of with varied legislators on the State and Federal ranges about what he considers “an illegal election.” For him, the swearing in of President Biden has led to quite a few different “subsequent illegal actions” by the federal government. A few of these have affected him personally.

Raiklin served within the U.S. Military Reserve and was chosen for battalion command when he abruptly retired in August 2022. In his civilian capability, he was a full-time teacher on the Protection Intelligence Company (DIA). In what he recognized as his “personal capacity”— aside from his service to the nation as a soldier and contract teacher—Raiklin attracted over 187,000 followers by posting his ideas in regards to the election and extra on social media. For this, he mentioned he was “censored by elements in U.S. Government surveillance and investigated for lawful First Amendment activity.”

Investigated and Surveilled

On December 22, 2020, Raiklin posted a memo labeled as “Operation Pence Card” on Twitter, now often called X. Primarily, he supplied “the constitutional remedy for the illegal election,” which recommended that the vice chairman may block certification of the outcomes on January 6 by returning electoral slates from states that held their elections exterior of the foundations their respective state legislature. Former president Donald Trump appeared to endorse the concept, retweeting one among Raiklin’s posts in regards to the doc together with a number of different of his posts.

A yr and a half later, “In the third hearing of the J6 committee [in June 2022 to investigate the infiltration of the U.S. Capitol],” Raiklin mentioned, “my tweet was referenced as part of a pressure campaign on Mike Pence [to reverse the results of the election].”

Because of this, Raiklin mentioned he grew to become “the target” of at the least 20 investigations by the DOD, DHS, and DOJ. Based on him, his claims could solely be verified by means of potential Freedom of Info Act (FOIA) requests, or extra seemingly, if categorized data would turn into unclassified. “They basically tried to weaponize against me for the First Amendment activity that I was doing to expose the illegal election,” he defined.

“DHS launched a threat working group investigation on me and placed me in June 2021 and placed me on the Quiet Skies program in August of 2021,” he mentioned, providing a short video he considers “evidence” of his assertion. “The program is used to monitor the activities of a threat just short of a terrorist, labeling those exposing the various levels of medical, electoral, and other governmental fraud as potential domestic terrorists,” he defined. “I was surveilled by federal air marshals and investigated as an insider threat by DHS with assets from DOD and DOJ because of my private research analysis and lawful First Amendment activity about the illegal 2020 election.”

As a result of these workplaces started “a pressure, harassment and intimidation campaign” on Raiklin, he mentioned, “They need to be exposed.” Because of this, he mentioned he started investigating all these concerned in investigating, harassing, and making an attempt to intimidate him. At present, he’s withholding a lot of his findings to think about bringing to the general public at a future date.

Not Backing Down

Raiklin mentioned the earlier election put America “on a trajectory of just having poor leadership and poor information spread throughout the country.” Below the management of President Biden, for instance, he mentioned, “the Department of Defense forced an illegal mandate [in August 2021, following Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s now-rescinded COVID-19 ‘vaccine’ policy for service members].”

Whereas the vaccine mandate was being enforced across the nation, “I was very vocal about the lawless election and the illegal, unconstitutional mandate,” Raiklin mentioned. He typically posted “documented evidence and proof that was being censored at the time” to indicate the ineffective nature and harmful results of the COVID-19 vaccine. On the similar time, as an Military soldier and protection contractor, he was additionally going through strain to get the jab.

Initially, he was requested to share his vaccine standing on a proper doc. He opted to not signal and inquired about “the lawful authority forcing [him] to respond to the question.” His concern remained unanswered.

Additionally figuring out the shape was non-obligatory, he opted to not reply, accepting the truth that he could be handled as an unvaccinated service member consequently. Like 1000’s of others, he was recommended for refusing to reply the non-obligatory type on vaccine standing.

“But I hinted to my leadership that they would risk becoming defendants if they denied me the ability to retire,” he mentioned. “Because I was not properly advised with informed consent, and the fact that the mandate was totally unlawful, I would not back down,” he mentioned. “I was ready to bring the [legal] pain to my leadership and they knew it.”

Because of this, not like 1000’s who had been involuntarily separated from service, Raiklin mentioned he was capable of “peacefully transition” into retirement with out receiving a vaccination he considers an “unsafe and ineffective DNA-mutilation injection.”

The Protection Intelligence Company additionally barred him from coming into [DIA] headquarters. The choice got here after “receiving a raise and a high-performance evaluation” that was verified by The Gateway Pundit. The lack to contract with the DOD resulted in a 90 % financial loss that required 401(okay) withdrawal for his household to outlive financially, he mentioned.

In opposition to the Narrative

Raiklin questions whether or not the federal government “weaponized” towards him for talking towards the election, refusing the vaccine, or each. “Did they come after me because of my private actions to expose the lawless and illegitimate election, or because I refused to comply with the illegal DOD jab questionnaire?” he requested.

“When the military separated its service members over their refusal to take the shot, they lost over 8,500 critical thinkers,” he mentioned. Tens of 1000’s of others additionally resigned or retired to keep away from the mandate, he added, likening the Division of Protection’s actions to that of Joseph Stalin’s political purges of the Thirties. “Stalin removed hundreds of thousands of people because they were challenging the prevailing narrative that was completely predicated on an absolute lie,” he mentioned.

Because of this, Raiklin mentioned he is without doubt one of the signatories on the Declaration of Military Accountability, which seeks accountability over the detrimental impression of the Division of Protection’s (DOD) implementation of the now-rescinded COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Over 18,000 individuals have signed the declaration alongside the unique 231.

He’s eager for the individuals of America, saying that “one day, both incidents of fraud—the Biden presidency and the illegal mandate—will be publicly acknowledged.” Based on him, because the nation continues to acknowledge it has been “duped and manipulated,” the federal government will likely be pressured to make authorized, ethical, and moral choices sooner or later.

The Division of Protection, Division of Justice, and Division of Homeland Safety didn’t reply by press time to requests for remark.
