(Part 7.2) - [Deep State] Hoosier Players: MIKE PENCE
Indiana: "the Mother of Vice Presidents" | Mike Pence (48th Vice President | 50th Governor of Indiana)
For PART 1 of the ‘[Deep State] Hoosier Players’ series, please see:
(PART 7.1) - [DEEP STATE] HOOSIER PLAYER: DAN [‘RED’] COATS
“INDIANA: THE MOTHER OF VICE PRESIDENTS”
Did you know that SIX (6) of the nation’s 48 Vice Presidents (49 counting Kamala Harris) have been residents of Indiana (2nd only to New York’s 11)? According to the Truman Presidential Library, the state of Indiana “has played a significant role in Presidential elections frequently in our nation’s history1” & was once considered one of the most important “swing states.2”
When the 28th Vice President, Thomas R. Marshall, learned of his nomination as Woodrow Wilson’s Vice President in 1912, he announced he was not surprised, as:
"Indiana is the mother of Vice Presidents; home of more second-class men than any other state”
Local ABC affiliate WRTV provided some additional detail surrounding the unusual nickname in an article titled “Indiana: 'The mother of vice presidents3” [on Inauguration Day January 20, 2017]:
“Mike Pence joined an elite group of Hoosiers on Friday when he became the 48th Vice President of the United States.
From 1868 to 1916, Indiana became known as “The Mother of Vice Presidents.”
In 10 of those 13 elections, either the Republicans or the Democrats put a Hoosier on the ticket.”
In a March 2022 interview, Investigative Journalist Lara Logan went out of her way to emphasize the following message about a very important component of the United States Federal Government that most have never even heard of:
The “Senior Executive Service (SES)”
According to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), Members of the SES serve in the key positions just below the top Presidential appointees.
“SES members are the major link between these Presidential appointees and the rest of the Federal workforce. They operate and oversee nearly every government activity in approximately 75 Federal agencies.”
LARA LOGAN:
“The ‘Deep State’ isn’t a ‘theory.’ It’s not a ‘conspiracy theory.’ It’s an actual Deep State.
Look up the ‘SES’ - the ‘Senior Executive Service.’
Because when that bureaucracy was ushered into law in the United States of America, that’s when we got a bunch of unelected bureaucrats pulling the strings behind the scenes. And these are the people who keep lying to us.”
Before we go any further, I want each of us to stick the following question in the back of our minds for the remainder of these ‘[DEEP STATE] Hoosier’ articles:
What (if any) is the "connection" between:
a) the flag of the Senior Executive Service (‘SES’) of the United States;
b) the flag of the European Union (‘EU’);
c) the flag of state of Indiana
Is it just a ‘coincidence’ that the flags of the Senior Executive Service (‘SES’), the European Union (EU), and the state of Indiana each feature yellow stars arranged in a circle (‘SES’ & Indiana have 13 stars; EU has 12 stars) on top of a blue background?
What is the significance of the KEYSTONE featured on the flag of the Senior Executive Service?
BAYH-DOLE ACT:
In December 1980—just 1 month before Ronald Reagan would be inaugurated President & 1 year after this ‘unseen, unelected hidden hand of government’ known as the Senior Executive Service (‘SES’) was created in 1979—lame duck President Jimmy Carter signed the BAYH-DOLE ACT which represented a radical change to patent ownership by contractors of inventions arising from federal government-funded research (that is, taxpayer-funded research… Meaning the research that you & I paid for with our tax dollars yet see absolutely no form of back end financial benefit & do not share in the profits/success of any of these inventions that we helped pay for & thus bring into fruition indirectly).
Sponsored by popular ***INDIANA*** Democrat Senator Birch Bayh & Kansas’ Senator Bob Dole, the Bayh-Dole Act (1) uniformly permits contractors to retain ownership of inventions made with federal funding & (2) authorizes federal agencies to grant exclusive licenses to inventions owned by the federal government.
In an upcoming article “(Part 7.5) - [Deep State] Hoosier Players: Birch Bayh & Evan Bayh” we will unpack the long-term implications of the Bayh-Dole Act in much greater detail, and critically analyze the father & son Democrats from Indiana whom occupied one of Indiana’s Senate Seats for a combined 30 years since 1961: the Bayh family.
STARTING LINEUP: [DEEP STATE] HOOSIERS
MIKE PENCE4:
After losing two bids for a congressional seat in 1988 and 1990, Mike Pence became a conservative radio and television talk show host from 1994 to 1999.
U.S. House of Representatives (Indiana) — 2 Terms
In 2000, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives and represented the 2nd district of Indiana from 2001 to 2003 and the 6th district of Indiana from 2003 to 2013.
He chaired the Republican Study Committee from 2005 to 2007 and served as the chairman of the House Republican Conference from 2009 to 2011, the third-highest position in the House Republican leadership.
50th GOVERNOR OF INDIANA
In 2012, Pence was elected the 50th Governor of Indiana in the closest gubernatorial election in 50 years. According to Wikipedia:
“upon becoming governor in January 2013, Pence initiated the largest tax cut in Indiana's history and pushed for more funding for private education initiatives. Pence signed bills intended to restrict abortions, including one that prohibited abortions if the reason for the procedure was the fetus's race, gender, or disability”
48th VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
In July 2016, Governor Pence withdrew from the Indiana gubernatorial reelection to become the Vice Presidential running mate of Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, who went on to win the 2016 presidential election.
In January 2017, Mike Pence became the 48th Vice President of the United States.
According to a January 7, 2017 article by The Guardian 5:
“the influential vice-president elect, Mike Pence, is a strong social conservative from Indiana.
Pence, a former US representative, is much more closely tied to congressional Republicans than Trump and will operate offices on Capitol Hill.”
In September 2016 while campaigning on the presidential trail, Pence told ABC News
that his role model for Vice President is DICK CHENEY 6
“I frankly hold Dick Cheney in really high regard in his role as vice president and as an American,” said Pence
(HAHAHA)
Pence said that, like Cheney, he hoped to be “a very active vice president.”
“Vice President Cheney had experience in Congress as I do, and he was very active in working with members of the House and the Senate,” he said.
Asked by ABC News' Martha Raddatz about criticism that Cheney had too much influence over President George W. Bush, Pence said that he admires vice presidents who are “able to take the vision of the president and champion that on Capitol Hill.”
“I would hope that my relationships over my 12 years in Congress and my four years here as governor of Indiana would help carry Donald Trump's vision to make America great again to people who would be crafting the legislation to put that into practice,”
[SIDE NOTE: REMEMBER WHEN PENCE JUST SAT THERE LOOKING FROZEN THE ENTIRE MEETING WITH TRUMP, PELOSI & SCHUMER…? SO MUCH FOR THAT WHOLE “VERY ACTIVE VICE PRESIDENT” THING]
DECEMBER 5, 2018:
GEORGE H.W. BUSH FUNERAL
& THE MYSTERIOUS WHITE ENVELOPES…
WHY DOES KAREN PENCE RECEIVE THE SAME WHITE ENVELOPE AS HILLARY CLINTON, MICHELLE OBAMA, AND THE BIDENS…?
FEBRUARY 5, 2017:
The BUSHES & The PENCES
February 5, 2017… Remember, this is 16 Days after the January 20, 2017 Trump (Pence) Inauguration which George H.W. Bush was unable to attend under ‘doctors orders’… and the PENCE’S LOOK LIKE BEST FRIENDS WITH THE BUSHES.
Surely I am not the only one this stands out to…
Recall from ‘(PART 7.1) - [DEEP STATE] HOOSIER PLAYER: DAN [‘RED’] COATS’ that MIKE PENCE & DAN COATS (Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, and previously a Senator from Indiana, Big Tech Lobbyist, and Ambassador to Germany under the George W. Bush Admin.) by all accounts have a particularly close relationship/bond:
“Mike Pence talked Dan Coats out of quitting the Trump administration” 7
NBC News (March 26, 2019) — Whenever Trump is souring on Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, whom he calls "Mister Rogers," Pence encourages him to stick with Coats.
Coats was confirmed as the DNI two years ago with bipartisan support after being recruited to the job by Pence. But the dynamic between Coats and Trump quickly came to mirror the president's relationship with the U.S. intelligence community as a whole, which had been fraught from the start.
The country's intelligence chief was on the verge of resigning at the end of last year over his frustrations with President Donald Trump but was talked out of it by
his closest ally in the administration, Vice President Mike Pence.
Among the tensions the officials said have marred the relationship between the president and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats:
Trump pushed Coats to find evidence former President Barack Obama wiretapped him;
[Obama DID wiretap him]
he demanded Coats publicly criticize the U.S. intelligence community as biased;
[The U.S. Intelligence Community IS highly biased & helped carry out a completely bogus 2+ year Investigation into the Trump Administration for improper ties to Russia … that the Intelligence Community KNEW BETTER THAN ANY OTHER ALL PART OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT THAT THIS WAS PURE NONSENSE, NEVER EXISTED, AND WAS A ‘STORY’ BEING LAUNDERED WITHOUT FACTS OR BASIS BY THE HILLARY CLINTON CAMPAIGN — TRUMP’S PRIMARY POLITICAL OPPONENT.]
and he accused Coats of being behind leaks of classified information.
More recently Trump also fumed to aides after Coats publicly defended the importance of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in countering Russia's aggression.
[‘Russian aggression’ that was never shown to have existed in any realm other than in repeated make-believe false stories in the press]
But the tipping point for Coats came in December with Trump's abrupt decision to withdraw all U.S. troops from Syria, and the contentious departure of former Defense Secretary James Mattis after protesting the policy, according to current & former officials.
The vice president, who has repeatedly played the role of envoy between Trump and Coats, convinced his longtime Indiana friend to stay until at least this summer, the officials said.
Coats was confirmed as the DNI two years ago with bipartisan support after being recruited to the job by Pence.
But the dynamic between Coats and Trump quickly came to mirror the president's relationship with the U.S. intelligence community as a whole, which had been fraught from the start.
“The vice president's interference…”
“… sheds light on how the mild-mannered Coats, who had no relationship with Trump before entering his administration, has survived the president's repeated ire, while some of his colleagues — including Mattis, Tillerson and former National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster — did not.”
“Mike Pence Reportedly Begged DNI Dan Coats Not to Quit Trump Administration” 8
Vice President Mike Pence [has] particularly aligned himself, however, with Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, a former Republican congressman and senator from Pence’s home state of Indiana. And reportedly, Pence has begged Coats to stay on no matter how many reasons their own boss, President Donald Trump, gives Coats not to.
According to a report from NBC News, Pence convinced Coats to stay in the Trump administration until at least the summer after Trump’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria,
Pence then convinced Coats to stay on for longer, arguing that another top national security official’s resignation following Mattis’ would look very bad for the president.
Pence has reportedly smoothed many patches b/w Trump & Coats,
often “encouraging [Coats] to continue the work he’s doing and reiterating that he has the support of the White House,” while encouraging Trump to keep Coats on.
In a January 7, 2017 article by The Guardian titled, “Dan Coats is Trump intelligence pick as president-elect touts Russia relations,”
… take note how The Guardian “aligns” Dan Coats & Vice President Mike Pence, and clearly contrasts their “styles” to that of incoming National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn.
Like the influential vice-president elect, Mike Pence, he [Coats] is a strong social conservative from Indiana.
Pence, a former US representative, is much more closely tied to congressional Republicans than Trump and will operate offices on Capitol Hill.
Coats has held views on intelligence and foreign policy that do not tally with those expressed by Trump and close advisers such as national security pick Michael Flynn.
(Michael Flynn, as you’ll recall, was framed by the FBI’s Peter Strzok, forced to step down from Trump Administration just 22 days into office, and railroaded through an unconstitutional trial for the next 3+ yrs… only for the case to be eventually all together dropped by the DOJ in May 2020).
Vice President Pence — RECAP:
1. As vice president, Pence chaired the National Space Council (NSC) since it was reestablished in June 2017.
Originally created by George H.W. Bush in 1989 & Chaired by his Vice President Dan Quayle (from Indiana… more on him below)
2. In February 2020, Pence was appointed Chairman of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, which was established in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.
As we all know, this was of course an absolute disaster
NOW LET’S PIVOT TO: JAN. 6, 2021
PS - Most of the articles shared below are certifiably BULLSHIT & my intent is to share commentary surrounding the media lies, tactics, and manipulative practices in distorting reality, changing history, and the art of reinforcing a false narrative onto the public through repeated projection in the media.
‘Quayle comes to the rescue of the republic’: Book claims former VP warned Pence not to interfere in 2020 election
“Former vice president Dan Quayle has emerged as an unlikely hero in the saga of the plot to overturn the results of the 2020 election”
“Dan Quayle Convinced Mike Pence To Ignore Trump's Decertification Pleas” 9
[[THIS IS SUCH A PREPOSTEROUS STORY & OBVIOUSLY FLAWED DECISION MAKING PROCESS (if story were true) BUT TO UNDERSTAND THE DEPTH OF HOW THEY INFLUENCE MINDS OF A CASUAL VIEWER & THEN REPEAT IT OVER & OVER … DEMONSTRATES THE SCALE OF THE LITERAL BRAINWASHING & CONSTANT GASLIGHTING THAT CONTINUES TO TAKE PLACE]]
The former vice president reportedly convinced Mike Pence he couldn't throw out the election results in order to keep Trump in power.
(MSNBC — September 17, 2021)
“Dan Quayle talked Mike Pence into rejecting Trump. What a story.”
“Pence was praised for doing the right thing on Jan. 6. Now we know what it took.”
“Pence sought way to hand election to Trump; Dan Quayle advice saved U.S. democracy”
“Former Vice President Mike Pence was in real danger on Jan. 6. Crowds outside chanted for him to be hanged on the makeshift scaffolding they’d constructed outside the Capitol building. Security video later showed how close the mob had come to obstructing Pence and his family’s flight to safety. All because Pence had refused to do what his boss had asked. The former congressman from Indiana had earlier that day rejected President Donald Trump’s demands that he abdicate his duty as vice president and refuse to certify Joe Biden’s 2020 election win over Trump.
For fulfilling his duty, Pence has been hailed as a hero in the by some members of the media. However, that narrative became more complicated this week with the release of the first excerpts from “Peril,” the forthcoming book from reporters Bob Woodward and Robert Costa. Pence didn’t come to his heroism naturally. He had to be guided to it by an unlikely source: former Vice President Dan Quayle who reportedly told Pence he had no option but to do his job.
How many Americans remember anything about the vice president from 1988-1992 other than his legendary misspelling of the word “potato” when judging an elementary school spelling bee? For decades, that’s been the main reference point Americans had for Quayle, consigning him to the relative obscurity that’s met so many vice presidents before him.”
Quayle was in some ways a proto-Pence. A vice president from Indiana, Quayle was a younger conservative brought onto the ticket to bolster the bona fides of a presidential candidate whose own record was less than impressive to some on the right. It makes sense that Pence called Quayle when deciding how to respond to Trump’s demands.
Costa and Woodward report that Pence rang up Quayle in late December to ask if there was any way he could give Trump want he wanted, according to the Washington Post:
Quayle was adamant, according to the authors. “Mike, you have no flexibility on this. None. Zero. Forget it. Put it away,” he said.
But Pence pressed him, the authors write, asking if there were any grounds to pause the certification because of ongoing legal challenges. Quayle was unmoved, and Pence ultimately agreed, according to the book.
CNN’s version added some additional detail to Pence’s entreaty:
"You don't know the position I'm in," he said, according to the authors.
"I do know the position you're in," Quayle responded. "I also know what the law is. You listen to the parliamentarian. That's all you do. You have no power."
“And Pence did just that: He listened to the Senate parliamentarian. Together, as Politico's Kyle Cheney showed on Twitter, they crafted language that made clear that there would be no chance for alternate electoral slates from states such as Georgia to vote for Trump. And in doing so, Biden’s win was — once the Capitol was cleared of insurrectionists — certified as it had been every other presidential election beforehand.
One of the most fascinating things about books like Woodward and Costa’s is trying to guess who provided which bits of information.
“The narrative framing is like a novel — attributions for sources are rare.”
“It’s part of the reason so many politicos agree to interviews. They know their version of history could be the one that’s told. For example, there’s plenty of speculation that Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is the source for some of the more flattering anecdotes about his role in saving democracy from Trump.
I don’t have access to “Peril,” which makes it even more difficult for me to guess who may have provided this particular anecdote, but the unflattering portrayal of Pence rules him out in my mind. That leaves Quayle, or at least someone close enough to Quayle to have passed it on to Woodward and Costa. No matter who gave them the story, it serves as a particularly fascinating postscript and recasts the former punchline as a beacon of moral resolve.
Meanwhile, Pence’s legacy has grown more complicated. He did the right thing in the end. Listening to Quayle meant shelving any chance of winning over Trump’s more rabid fans, effectively shutting the door on his own presidential run. But the fact that he was even looking for an out is a problem. Certifying the election results should have been an easy choice for someone dedicated to public service. There aren’t many gimmes in politics, especially at the presidential level.
Then again, that desire for easy answers is part of why people like Trump are so appealing to the masses. We want stories and characters that are one-dimensional and moral choices cast in black and white. In a way, it’s better to read books like “Peril” less as history and more as literature and find inspiration and meaning in their half-truth reflections on life.
Despite his ambivalence, Pence forswore ambition for the good of the country. Despite his treatment at the hands of the political system, Quayle defended it during a time of peril. The better angels of their nature won out over selfishness and vanity. At the same time, there’s no denying that there is likely a self-serving reason we know these stories at all; it’s hard to be a hero if there’s no narrator to tell the tale.
There’s something about this particular phone call between two Hoosiers that dances on the line between truth and allegory.
Did Quayle save our democracy? Maybe. At least, someone says he did. But we should be less concerned with whether this particular story is true and more concerned with the indisputable truth: A president who’d been voted out demanded his vice president break the law to help him hold onto power, and because he didn’t, a mob outside erected a gallows.”

Former VP Dan Quayle Says There is No 'Systemic Fraud' in Election, Trump Should 'Move On'
Former Vice President Dan Quayle said Monday that it was time for President Donald Trump to "move on" and concede that he lost the election to President-elect Joe Biden.
"You know, it's tough in defeat," Quayle told The New York Times. "Unfortunately, we were the last incumbent president to lose, and it's not easy... But we've had enough time to look at what's going on, there have been a lot of allegations they continue to investigate, but from my viewpoint I don't think there's any systemic fraud."
"It's time to move on, and therefore I hope that there's some sort of announcement from the White House sooner rather than later," added Quayle.

Kari Lake: "A lot of people are disappointed in Mike Pence" for many reasons”
HAVE A LOOK AT THE PENCE SHOWMANSHIP FOR YOURSELF BELOW…
It is the middle of June 2022 … where has this dude been for the last 17 MONTHS since these illegitimately installed traitors tearing apart our country were installed in the White House…?
HE’S BEEN SILENT. MISSING (Not that anyone was looking for him in a real way just to be clear). Likely plotting some variation of his quest for power & how to win the appeal of people who only care about ‘the message’ & don’t look beyond the appearance of whatever kind of no-nonsense politician that Pence tries to portay himself as… things like:
PROFESSIONALLY EDITED VIDEOS talking to “authority types,” watching PowerPoint presentations, and saying things like:
“in 2021 there were 1.7 million encounters with illegal immigrants — a 379% increase over the previous year”
Don’t get me wrong: This is DEFINITELY a problem. A MAJOR PROBLEM, actually. But go back to what Kari Lake was saying…
Where has this opportunistic Career Politician [PENCE] been—conveniently surfacing just before the 2022 Primaries (to be relevant for the 2024 Presidential Media Madness that is sure to unfold 24/7 immediately following the Primaries in November) … when this crisis has been unfolding for nearly a year & a half… and by all accounts has been allowed to happen (even encouraged) by the Biden Administration & the Radical Leftists in Congress…
Before I wrap this article up, I want to leave you with a bit of a question to ponder & to jog your memories back to September 5, 2018 & the anonymous op-ed released by the New York Times purporting to be authored by a senior official in the Trump Administration.
