The
Military/Security Plot Against Trump Is Real
The Military/Security Plot Against Trump Is Real
June 13, 2017
President Trump may be chief of state, head of
government and commander in chief, but his administration is shot through with
disloyalists plotting to bring him down.
We are approaching something of a civil war where
the capital city seeks the overthrow of the sovereign and its own restoration.
Thus far, it is a nonviolent struggle, though
street clashes between pro- and anti-Trump forces are increasingly marked by fistfights
and brawls. Police are having difficulty keeping people apart. A few have been
arrested carrying concealed weapons.
That the objective of this city is to bring Trump
down via a deep state-media coup is no secret. Few deny it.
Last week, fired Director of the FBI James Comey, a
successor to J. Edgar Hoover, admitted under oath that he used a cutout to leak
to The New York Times an Oval Office conversation with the president.
Goal: have the Times story trigger the appointment
of a special prosecutor to bring down the president.
Comey wanted a special prosecutor to target Trump,
despite his knowledge, from his own FBI investigation, that Trump was innocent
of the pervasive charge that he colluded with the Kremlin in the hacking of the
DNC.
Comey’s deceit was designed to enlist the police
powers of the state to bring down his president. And it worked. For the
special counsel named, with broad powers to pursue Trump, is Comey’s friend and
predecessor at the FBI, Robert Mueller.
As Newt Gingrich said Sunday: “Look at who
Mueller’s starting to hire. … (T)hese are people that … look to me like they’re
… setting up to go after Trump … including people, by the way, who have been
reprimanded for hiding from the defense information into major cases. …
“This is going to be a witch hunt.”
Another example. According to Daily Kos, Trump
planned a swift lifting of sanctions on Russia after inauguration and a summit
meeting with Vladimir Putin to prevent a second Cold War.
The State Department was tasked with working out
the details.
Instead, says Daniel Fried, the coordinator for
sanctions policy, he received “panicky” calls of “Please, my God, can you stop
this?”
Operatives at State, disloyal to the president and
hostile to the Russia policy on which he had been elected, collaborated with
elements in Congress to sabotage any detente. They succeeded.
“It would have been a win-win for Moscow,” said Tom
Malinowski of State, who boasted last week of his role in blocking a rapprochement
with Russia. State employees sabotaged one of the principal policies for which
Americans had voted, and they substituted their own.
Not in memory have there been so many leaks to
injure a president from within his own government, and not just political
leaks, but leaks of confidential, classified and secret documents. The leaks
are coming out of the supposedly secure investigative and intelligence agencies
of the U.S. government.
The media, the beneficiaries of these leaks, are
giving cover to those breaking the law. The real criminal “collusion” in
Washington is between Big Media and the deep state, colluding to destroy a
president they detest and to sink the policies they oppose.
Yet another example is the unfolding “unmasking”
scandal.
While all the evidence is not yet in, it appears an
abnormal number of conversations between Trump associates and Russians were
intercepted by U.S. intelligence agencies.
On orders higher up, the conversations were
transcribed, and, contrary to law, the names of Trump associates unmasked.
Then those transcripts, with names revealed, were
spread to all 16 agencies of the intel community at the direction of Susan
Rice, and with the possible knowledge of Barack Obama, assuring some would be
leaked after Trump became president.
The leak of Gen. Michael Flynn’s conversation with
the Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, after Obama imposed sanctions on Russia
for the hacking of the DNC, may have been a product of the unmasking operation.
The media hit on Flynn cost him the National Security Council post.
Trump has had many accomplishments since his
election. Yet his enemies in the media and their deep state allies have often
made a purgatory of his presidency.
What he and his White House need to understand is
that this is not going to end, that this is a fight to the finish, that his
enemies will not relent until they see him impeached or resigning in disgrace.
To prevail, Trump will have to campaign across this
country and wage guerrilla war in this capital, using the legal and political
weapons at his disposal to ferret out the enemies within his own government.
Not only is this battle essential, if Trump hopes
to realize his agenda, it is winnable. For the people sense that the Beltway
elites are cynically engaged in preserving their own privileges, positions and
power.
If the president cannot rewrite Obamacare or
achieve tax reform, he should not go around the country in 2018 wailing about
Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer. They are not the real adversaries. They are but
interchangeable parts.
He should campaign against the real enemies of
America First by promising to purge the deep state and flog its media
collaborators.
Time to burn down the Bastille.
