A TALE OF TRAGEDY AND EVIL IN AMERICA
A Review of “The Plot Against America” (2020) directed by Amanda Milius
This is so intricate and unnerving a story I can only say it is a good thing I am writing for Substack, where I am free to say all I have to say without an editor breathing down my neck about content, length and subject matter.
Right off the bat, the fact this documentary, The Plot Against the President (available on YouTube) was released in 2020 says it all. I never saw it in 2020, and I look for everything. It was hidden, algorithms and web sites doing all they can to discredit it, to direct people away from it, just as was done with Dinesh D’Souza’s 2000 Mules. I recall hearing Amanda Milius interviewed on Sebastian Gorka’s radio show back in the day, and making a note to see it, but it disappeared.
Then a week or so ago I saw it on Newsmax and immediately contacted its director, Ms. Milius, telling her I was going to review it. At first I thought YouTube was in on the big lie, as they usually are, when after renting it for a closer look it just buffered for 15 minutes before I re-booted my computer until it finally came on.
As Dr. Michael Savage, who I wrote for from 2009-23 once said, “You’re not paranoid when they’re really trying to get you.”
Yes, they are really trying to get us.
Amanda
The director is one of the most interesting young people on the scene in the last few years. Like her father, she is fighting her way "out of the trenches and into public sight,” as Harrison Ford once said of her dad.
He is John Milius, and if I have a greater writing influence I am unsure who it might be. I first became aware of him when Apocalypse Now came out in 1979, and found out he had written about “the first rock ’n’ roll war, in which the culture of Los Angeles, California - music, drugs, Playboy bunnies, surfing - met this strange mystical and ancient Oriental society” in the Vietnam War. I mean, what a hook! Anybody who could put all of that horse power together, not to mention somehow weaving these themes into a film based on Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad had to be, as Dr. Hunter Thompson would have said of him, “A man not to be trifled with.”
Amanda Milius is the daughter of John Milius, author of Apocalypse Now and Red Dawn
I learned of him further at the USC School of Cinematic Arts where I studied in 1982-84 under the legendary Dr. Andrew Casper. Milius was a god at USC, which he once described as “the West Point of Hollywood.”
Then Milius wrote and directed Red Dawn, as entertaining a thunderbolt of cinematic awesomeness as has ever been shown on the big screen; the tale of how Colorado high school kids led by Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen, used skills learned - to hunt, trap and fire weapons - to defeat the forces of Communism during World War III. It was the ultimate NRA commercial, and Hollywood hated Milius so much for making it they blackballed him “as surely as they blackballed Communists in the ‘50s,” as Milius himself once said.
He was the inspiration for one of my 30-plus books, Coppola’s Monster Film: The Making of Apocalypse Now (2016), of which I presided over in a seminar at USC that year.
So Amanda Milius has a bone to pick, looking for revenge every bit as much as any Palestinian whose dad was killed trying to blow up Israelis during the Intifada. She got the same training at USC as her father, who was there with George Lucas, Caleb Deschanel, Walter Murch and most of the film students who went on to create American Zoetrope and Apocalypse Now.
Like her dad, she is fiery, will not take no for an answer, and is an inexorable force. She could have just sat back in her Brentwood upbringing with all the other kids from Less Than Zero, except she was a Milius and that was that. Instead of devoting her life to climate change and trans-gender glorification she could be found at the shooting range, just like her dad. All this runs in the family: her brother Ethan is a D.A. in Los Angeles, apparently the only person this side of George Gascon interested in actually putting bad guys in jail.
Amanda has a long and successful film career head of her despite political opposition
It took a while for her to find herself but after spending some youth time in New York made her way to the promised land, the University of Southern California, earning a graduate degree in 2015. Her timing was superb. It was the age of Donald Trump. Like her father and his screenwriting career, she did not wait for somebody to read her resume and invite her to join the party. She just showed up sight unseen at the Trump campaign offering to volunteer.
When Trump was elected, she said she wanted to work for him in Washington. All of a sudden a bunch of old Bush/Romney Republicans showed up saying, “Hey, I liked Trump all along,” and subsequent mistakes reveal some were hired, but she managed to land a position at the State Department. Being a Milius, trained at the “West Point of Hollywood,” somebody figured out it would be good to put her in charge of video content, but when Russiagate happened she resigned, raised the money, and committed herself to telling the story of the single greatest political crime in American history.
Had she been a liberal, she would have won the Academy Award by now. She laughs at the concept of “Women in Film,” as if women in the film industry rallied behind her talent and drive in any way. They did not. But her talent is extraordinary. The Plot Against the President is like a spy thriller, as engaging as All the President’s Men ever was (which always evoked in me the question: Where were Ben Bradlee and Katharine Graham when the worst political crime before that, John Kennedy stealing the 1960 election from Richard Nixon, occurred right under their noses?). Her documentary not only hits the nail on the head, but as befits a Trojan film grad, is very high quality in every way. Who would expect anything less from a Milius?
“A conspiracy so immense”
We have all been there; little kids reciting “The Pledge of Allegiance,” watching war films where the good guys win, believing America is exceptional, blessed by God. Maybe we are, but Satan is out there, and as old Bruce Willis says at the end of The Last Boy Scout, “Always be prepared.” It is hard to admit the things herein described can happen in this great country, but they can and they did.
Ronald Reagan warned us, each generation must fight for freedom. At least for the last few decades, the conservatives have not fought much. John McCain and Mitt Romney refused to expose just how unpatriotic a liar Barack Hussein Obama was. Republicans in general seemed to just be good Christians, convinced that God would make it all right in the end, but Donald Trump’s special quality was that he fights, and will not go down without fighting, no matter how many bullets they fire at him.
Ronald Reagan warned that each succeeding generation must fight for its freedom
In truth, America has always had some flaws. Many of our Founding Fathers owned slaves. The Democrat Party backed the slaveowners in the Civil War, when some of our finest generals gave their talents to a treasonous cause, then provided cover to Jim Crow and the KKK for 100 years.
They presided over complete corruption and the art of election-stealing in the form of Tammany Hall, the Pendergast Machine, the Kennedy Boston Irish mob, LBJ’s Texas, Daley’s Chicago, Earl and Huey Long’s Louisiana, which lasted until the Republicans finally came in and, as with the entire South, finally husbanded the region into the mainstream of American politics.
Communism and Marxism found a home in the Democrat Party. Paid Soviet spies worked in Franklin Roosevelt’s Oval Office. Another Soviet spy, Alger Hiss, wrote the U.N. Charter that enslaved Eastern Europe under Joseph Stalin after World War II.
John “Duke” Wayne was so dangerous to the Communists in Hollywood that Stalin twice and then Mao Tse-tung once tried to kill the man.
A read of Robert Caro’s biography of Lyndon Johnson provides a primer on how the Democrats stole House, Senate and Presidential elections in Texas and Chicago.
In the 1960s under Obama’s hero, Saul Alinsky, the left became adept at targeting, polarizing, lying about, and mocking their Republican opponents. Anybody who wishes to investigate can read how Soviet tactics were used in the United States. They promoted homosexuality in America while banning it at home. They attempted to divide the races. They undermined our war efforts by organizing street protests.
There was a “Clinton Body Count” referencing all the people who had died after getting in Bill and Hillary’s way. There are some who believe “sleepers” were planted in America. Even Hollywood examined this premise with Little Nikita, No Way Out and The Americans. Many people felt Obama could be a kind of “Manchurian candidate.” His birth certificate was irregular. His mother it was rumored worked for the CIA in Indonesia under the guise of being a National Geographic anthropologist, when apparently she was giving the brutal Sukarno regime the names of dissidents to be rounded up and murdered in a holocaust worthy of Adolf Hitler or Mao.
Either way, between his mom and his grandparents and a strange local Communist who tutored Barack between ages nine and 18 before sending him off to Columbia, where in his own words he “gravitated to the Marxists and the Socialists,” there is something not quite right in this picture. It does not help that he named as his CIA Director an actual Communist in real life. This is not an accusation or a pejorative, but a fact. John Brennan in 1980 voted for the Communist over both Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter. How this is possible tells anybody with just a little moxie, to use a John Milius word, that a “conspiracy so immense” as Joe McCarthy once called it, has fallen like a big dark shadow of corruption and lies over the land we love.
The Communists have long sought to influence America
It may have always been there, but it was under Obama that it became like the snake in the Garden of Eden. To the conspiracy theorists, who in fact are just smart people who think about things (all crime investigations begin as conspiracy theories), Obama needs to be examined further. Could he and Brennan have been plants of some kind, handled by Vladimir Putin in the 1980s?
Such a concept sounds preposterous, and perhaps it is, but in examining the story Amanda Milius and John Eisenman so brilliantly outline in The Plot Against the President, we learn to our chagrin that anything is possible!
For somebody like me, a true believer in America, this was hard to accept. Yes, perhaps John Kennedy’s father stole the election from Nixon, but he “stole it fair and square.” I once wrote a scathing review of Oliver Stone’s JFK, dismantling the idea that the American government - not a lone assassin, not Fidel Castro - could have killed the President. But over time, I have come to believe there is a Deep State, and that this very Deep State did kill John F. Kennedy.
I have studied the Alinsky tactics of Obama. I have seen Russiagate. I have seen precisely how an election can be stolen (make no mistake, this documentary is a primer not just on the Russia affair but how that can happen too). This was followed by a President obviously in the pocket of Ukraine, a corrupt country that bribed him with millions of dollars through his son, only to so far at least walk away without a scratch. Trump on the other hand was excoriated for having the temerity to find out about it. I have seen wars fought because a President is corrupt and weak. I have seen Republicans raided, handcuffed, prosecuted, persecuted, jailed, while Democrats pay no price.
I have seen good Christian gentlemen like Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh accused of being quasi-pornographers by such assaulters of women as Ted Kennedy and Joe Biden.
I have seen hordes of Democrats burn down cities and kill cops, while a few Proud Boys trying to protect their cities get arrested. I have seen yahoos who broke some glass on January 6, 2021 arrested, the keys thrown away. I have seen people fighting for monuments to a great nation not be torn down, accused as Trump has been of being Nazis.
I have seen an assassin’s bullet miss my President by God’s good grace, and were this heinous act to be proven to be the work of his sworn enemies, of a Deep State he is at war with, I would be no more surprised than I now am not that the same Deep State that once killed a Democrat President now tried to kill a Republican
Why? Because history does not repeat, it rhymes, but in so doing it does so in confluence with its previous incarnation. Once upon a time, the Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated known Communists. Today they do the same thing to conservatives.
Once this country was unfair and horrendous for African-Americans. Today white Christians are fair game. Once women had no right to vote. Today young males are told from grade school on they are the root of all evil, the source of toxic masculinity, and the Democrats wonder why they now are shifting their vote to Trump. To explain this away they must be seen as “deplorables.”
Once gays had their rights trampled on. Today trans-genders are seen as moral superiors.
History does not repeat, it rhymes in the opposite direction.
Watergate redux
The documentary, produced by Wollman Productions and 1 AMDC Productions based on the book by Lee Smith, opens with images from happier times; peaceful transitions of power: Ronald Reagan taking over from Jimmy Carter; George W. Bush thankful that the 2000 Florida chad election could be resolved in a “peaceful way”; and our man Obama, smiling and grateful that the keys to the kingdom are now his on January 20, 2009.
But then comes Donald Trump, the man called “another Hitler” by the Democrat Party and the media in 2016, leading one to ask, “What would you do to stop Hitler?” To the Jewish John Milius, it is not inconceivable that had he had a chance to be one of the characters in his movies, he would happily have gone with the rest of Brad Pitt’s Inglorious Basterds on a mission to do just that, and it would have been a righteous mission. So we have our set-up, which is that if you really do convince a large segment of the population that Hitler is now in charge, well, without knowing better you might just take a gun to Butler, Pennsylvania, but let us not get ahead of ourselves.
The original plan was an “insurance policy” to stop Trump as they should have stopped der Fuhrer at Munich. On March 16, 2017, a relatively average Republican Congressman from central California named Devin Nunes held a press conference revealing that as the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, it had come to his attention that an “unmasking” of then President-elect Donald Trump was “widely disseminated in intelligence community reporting.”
This unmasking was said to concern members of Trump’s transition team as related to Russia, run by the dictator Vladimir Putin since 1999. The problem was worse than initially believed. “It started on December 1, 2016,” Congressman Nunes said. This was a little less than a month after Trump’s defeat of Hillary Clinton, and about a month-and-a-half before his Inauguration.
Donald Trump causes a visceral reaction, and possibly this has caused the left to overreach in their efforts to destroy him
House Democrat Leader Nancy Pelosi called Trump’s win a “desecration of Democracy not seen since Watergate.” What apparently had propelled this victory was a “concerted Russian interference/influence operation” spread through the media, according to Congressman Adam Schiff of California.
“Putin authorized election interference,” said CIA Director John Brennan; the same John Brennan who saw fit to favor Communism in 1980, this fact about him seemingly hidden, allowed to skate through confirmation and the Obama years as if guided by some “hidden hand” of wickedly mystical inspiration.
Republicans, who somehow like to see the good even in their enemies, convinced that The Holy Bible will seem through, at first saw it as a joke; just another contested election like Democrats had argued over in 2000, 2004, and later as with Stacey Abrams in George in 2018.
But the Obama/Brennan team had created what Congressman Nunes called the “Obama dossier” in correlation with the Russian hacking of the Democrat National Committee and Hillary Clinton. The narrative of this is that Russia helped Trump because Obama was going to kick some Russians out of the country in retaliation for some cyberattacks.
All of this was used as justification by the Obama Administration, which includes the Justice Department, the Central Intelligence Agency, the House committees run by the Democrat Party, and of course by their willing allies in the media.
As Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer once said of Trump, the intelligence community can get you “six ways from Sunday,” and motivated as they were in this case, they did just that.
The unmasking of the Trump election team and later his staff meant in common parlance, spying. Eavesdropping. Wiretapping. Listening in.
What the Obama/Biden Administration did in 2016-17 was far worse than Watergate, a bungled operation that may very well have been a CIA ploy to get rid of Richard Nixon (if so, it certainly worked), using an overripe ex-G-man named Gordon Liddy to essentially tap the phones in the Watergate Hotel in order to hear secretaries make hair appointments. No Democrat had his life ruined. No Democrat went to jail. Plenty of Republicans did, the opposite of the injustice done to Trump and his loyalists.
Comey, Strzok, Page and the “insurance policy”
The mystery of James Comey remains one of the great conundrums for our time. Unlike most of the Democrats like Obama and Joe Biden, corrupted by power politics, Comey appears to have been a Boy Scout who studied theology and rose in the ranks as a lawyer, U.S. Attorney and Director of the FBI. By all accounts he was a Bush Republican.
Comey’s actions remain something of a mystery to this day
One can only speculate, but it seems he was influenced first by his wife and family, most if not all Democrats, who can get into a man’s head for sure. But more likely, he saw the winds of politics and decided to drift with them. He rose under George W. Bush but left after his re-election. Just as “Deep Throat,” Mark Felt decided to bring down Richard Nixon when he was not named head of the FBI in 1972, Comey may have felt some tinge of reprisal against the Republican Party when others passed him by during the Bush years.
Either way, Obama’s re-election in 2012 energized Comey to get back into government and he was named FBI Director. This looked on the surface like a classic bi-partisan move, Obama naming a tacit Republican. But was there an agreement, an understanding of some sort?
In 2016, it looked like Hillary Clinton was a sure thing. Comey thought so, as did everybody in the Beltway. Then it was discovered that as Secretary of State Hillary had failed to secure her emails, making them easily accessible to Russian cyber hackers, which is what happened. It was an obvious crime, not of omission but off commission. It was impossible to just brush this off as carelessness. Something sinister was at play; a reason Hillary wanted her communications kept secret from political enemies, not to mention easily accessible by America’s foes.
Bad as that was, she then used bleach bit and force to destroy her computers and servers, which as everybody who went to prison during Watergate can tell you is obstruction of justice, but Comey let her off the hook. He was probably under orders from Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who met on an airport tarmac to orchestrate the conspiracy.
But why did Comey do it? Again, the easy answer is ambition. He was in good with the Democrats. He liked the good press the media gave him as a friend to their cause. Hillary was going to win, so why rock the boat?
But under Obama something insidious happened. Subversive, evil, Satanic maybe? For time immemorial, there were places for “Republicans” in government. Republicans tended to join the military. They were far more likely to pursue law enforcement, become FBI agents, and they overwhelmingly made up the Secret Service and the CIA, where the corps mission was to destroy Communism.
But under Obama, slowly but surely, we saw “political” generals serving the Democrat cause, advocating for sex-change operations, for more gays in a woke Armed Forces. Law enforcement became weaponized, and men like Comey were willing to do Obama’s bidding in destroying conservatives. The CIA mission changed drastically, obviously when the Communist Brennan was in charge. The Secret Service advocated DEI, and a President was almost murdered as a result.
In other words, everything Democrats touch turns to fecal matter.
So Comey refused to prosecute Hillary. This narrative has been repeated over and over and over so many times, with Democrats skating while Republicans pay a heavy price, that it is beyond coincidence. It is a prevailing and corrupt lie in American politics, and it gave rise to Trump.
Comey appeared before the Intelligence Committee, where he took Congressman Nunes into a back room, telling him he planned to look into the Trump campaign. This despite the fact that ordinary citizens paying attention at home already realized it was a set-up, that Trump was innocent. Innocence meant nothing. This was a Stalinist tactic: “Find the man and I’ll find the crime.”
Comey announced that the Department of Justice authorized an investigation into Russian interference, but Nunes did not know what information Comey had. At this point, despite having worked for Obama, Comey was seen as a Republican and therefore the veneer of fairness still hung with him.
But Comey had a history of trapping innocent subjects. The FBI long has established that when they target somebody, they will get a conviction, come hell or high water. They have the power, the reach and the ability to corrupt the system in their favor and had long done so. Let’s face it, the FBI has long been corrupt, as they were when J. Edgar Hoover blackmailed Presidents with his secret files, but as mentioned, history rhymes but in opposite correlation to its past, so now instead of Commies the targets are good Republicans.
This was how he got Martha Stewart and Vice-President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff, Scooter Libby. Again, Republicans pay, Democrats skate, over and over. Such a thing will have ramifications.
These were the tactics Comey used against Trump aide George Papadopoulos and then General Mike Flynn. Flynn revolutionized how battlefield intelligence is collected in Afghanistan. When Obama met Donald Trump during the transition he told him to hire whoever he liked, with the sole exception of Flynn. But Trump made Flynn National Security Advisor anyway. NSC official K.T. McFarland had recommended Flynn since it was he who saw the poor way Obama handled the Islamic State, who Flynn identified as the new bad actor in the post-Iraq Middle East.
The people who brought down General Flynn should do hard prison time for decades
Flynn had complained that he had not gotten “actionable intelligence” in the field, and was going to cut some jobs and the budget at Langley, who had dropped the ball during the Obama years. Flynn argued that he was dealing with “entrenched intel,” which seemed political to him.
The tragedy at Benghazi, Libya was a deliberate lie and product of “bi-partisan corruption,” said Flynn. Flynn knew how Obama had committed near-treason in Benghazi. Flynn was the “consummate disruptor,” terrifying the CIA. Here was a man who knew all the secrets of national intelligence and was “off the reservation.” Obama targeted him and the FBI was tasked with bringing down a man who had harnessed essential knowledge regarding his failures in Libya and Syria, giving rise to the Islamic State’s so-called “caliphate.”
“Flynn knew the machinations of the Obama Administration,” said Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch. “Flynn knew Obama was corrupt in dealing with Asssad and Syria,” referring to Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad.
(It is worth adding that, in contrast to the weak and ineffectual Obama, whose actions dealing with Islamic State could be called borderline treason, in one of the greatest, most impressive military feats ever, President Trump quickly wiped Islamic State out; under Biden they have been allowed to re-group, leading to serious questions beyond competence, and focusing on loyalty to national purpose.)
Flynn spoke the truth about ISIS (Islamic State, which Obama called Daesh, not wanting to paint any Muslim, terrorist or not, in a negative light). The “straw that broke the camel’s back” came when Flynn testified that Obama failed to protect the U.S. from the Islamic threat. He was warned not to call ISIS a threat, but he said he could not “lie to the American people.”
The incompetent liberal Jim Clapper called Mike Vickers, hero of the Afghan insurrection against the Soviets in the 1980s (oddly, the only time Democrats like military intervention in the Middle East is when a Democrat like Charlie Wilson is behind it; not acknowledging Afghanistan was won by Ronald Reagan and Bill Casey.)
Vickers, ex-ally of Congressman Wilson, advised that Flynn be fired. The impetus for this came from Susan Rice at Obama’s request. He was forced to retire early.
Flynn knew the truth about Obama, Clapper and Brennan for eight years. He knew why Obama funded terror by giving $140 billion to Iran (as Biden later did). In analyzing why this was done, it is hard to pin down any logical reason other than straight treason. For a patriot like Flynn it was worse than maddening, it was a form of hell or insanity.
“Obama was actually facilitating the rise of the theocratic Iranian regime who were at that time taking our Naval personnel hostage while saying ‘Death to America,’ ” said Trump aide Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
The deal was “fatally flawed,” said New York Congressman Lee Zeldin, adding that Obama failed in “telling the other 97 percent of the story of a weaker, flawed approach to how a particular conflict ended up.”
As the documentary made clear, it all became an anti-Mike Flynn diatribe just because he was telling the truth. “It was a ‘Chicago style politics’ approach,” added Congressman Zeldin.
Obama backed a U.N. Resolution condemning Israel for building settlements in East Jerusalem, establishing himself as a literal and actual enemy enemy of Israel. “This was in contrast to the will of Congress and the Americans people,” added Zeldin. “He just burned down our relationship with Israel.”
Obama then expelled 35 Russian diplomats in retaliation for the cyber attacks, which was nothing more than “grandstanding” and served no purpose.
The incoming transition always speaks to other countries, as part of proper protocol. Ric Grenell, former Acting Director of National Intelligence, said “from the beginning Flynn’s discussion with the Russian ambassador was about the U.N. Resolution,” a perfectly reasonable part of his job. He was just trying to “cool heads” and “eliminate a common threat.”
His discussions were intercepted by intelligence and diplomatic eavesdropping sources, which is common and known by all the parties having the discussion, meaning nothing untoward would occur out of it. It was just like Trump’s later phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in which he asked about bribery and corruption involving V.P. and candidate Biden’s dealings with Burisma, which history later confirmed to be a perfect line of inquiry into real and actual corruption, corruption that very likely may have led to the war in Ukraine today.
“You want him talking to his counterparts in Russia, in China, our allies in a geopolitical sense; he needs to be talking to them,” said Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan.
“Flynn knew his calls would be intercepted” but did “not suspect how determined they were” (Obama, Comey), said Dr. Edward Luttwak, author of Coup d’Etat: A Practical Handbook and a former policy strategist/historian. “When you make that call it’s the opposite of a clandestine meeting. It’s not secret.”
“Susan Rice admitted Flynn did exactly what they did,” added Grenell. “Of course they talk to other countries. If you do not talk to other countries, you’re not doing your job.”
“In 2015 Putin said some complimentary things about then-candidate Donald Trump,” said former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
“Trump is undoubtedly a bright and talented person,” Putin had said.
Trump had expressed hope for good relations. These small exchanges were the basis for the entire Russiagate fiasco, completely setting aside Secretary of State Clinton’s infamous “re-set” with Russia in 2008-09.
“Trump knew Putin was a killer, that he was amoral,” said Giuliani, “but he has nuclear weapons, ‘I better get to know him.’ It was far less damaging than Obama who in a 2012 off-mic moment told Putin flunky Dmitry Medvedev, ‘I can go easier on him after the election . . . I stand with you.’
“If Trump ever said that, they’d impeach him, the New York Times editorial would have said he was ‘selling out our country.’ ”
The bottom line, after all is said and done, is that Trump is the one U.S. political figure who cannot be bribed, blackmailed or corrupted, because of his vast wealth; and because he is a private citizen who chooses to serve for pure patriotic reasons (yes, he enjoys power, as he did in business). Everything about him is known, making him the least vulnerable to blackmail perhaps ever.
But when asked about the two lawyers sent to question Flynn, Comey replied simply, “I sent them,” engendering an applause line and laughter over his setting up an innocent patriot for ruin. It may be the most devastating moment in The Plot Against the President, and distills the very nature of evil that the left has allowed themselves to become.
Mike Strzok and Lisa Page are examples of how far America has fallen
It was around this time that Comey’s “band of thugs,” as Trump advisor Stephen Miller called his hench(wo)men, Lisa Page and her adulterous lover, Michael Strzok, started texting about their “insurance policy” against a Trump Presidency. Perhaps no incident more clearly demonstrates the fall of the FBI, and the corruption of the bureau under Comey, more than this. They described Trump voters as “smelly Walmart voters” and made it obvious they had set in motion, illegally, immorally and under the color of authority, a plan to destroy an elected President. If justice exists in this fallen world, they would be doing hard prison time for decades along with Obama, Hillary, Biden, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Schiff and probably a squad of others. Instead they all sit back and plot their next power move, their next coup, while Republicans deal with FBI raids and jail time.
Is the Dark Prince in charge of this fallen world? Indeed he is, and he prefers one political party over another one. Take a guess which party that is.
Comey, doing the rounds of comics and talk shows like a movie star or something, admitted he “played a trick” to get Flynn by telling him he was not under investigation and did not need a lawyer. Democrat audience reaction was to just laugh at this horror of Democracy.
Flynn’s attorney Sidney Powell, citing the Form 302 as a “complete ambush” orchestrated by Peter Strozk and Lisa Page as part of their infamous “insurance policy,” said the meeting had been scheduled for the next day, giving Flynn time to be prepared, but they just arrived and said, “Let’s do it now.” By the time the NSC was advised and tried to intervene, the interview was over.
Justice Department attorney Andrew McCabe pulled out draft interview notes and told Flynn, “We have nothing on you and the matter is closed.” McCabe was lying . . . to a decorated American general! Flynn sensed McCabe was “a very bad man and he’s out to get me.”
Two days later the Washington Post called Sidney Powell with an illegally obtained transcript saying the opposite of what McCabe had told Flynn. The FBI had leaked everything to the press. Flynn’s phone call had been highly classified, yet somehow the Post had a copy. This is all evidence of serious crimes that Republicans pay for, but Democrats just get away with.
Vice-President Mike Pence’s aide David Ignatius summoned Flynn to gauge the “external and internal effect.” Later it was discovered that Pence’s chief of staff had come under the influence of Comey’s blackmail threat.
Does this sound like the honorable actions of an FBI Director?
Pence just decided to get rid of Flynn to calm things down, but little did they know that “the beast will not be ‘fat and happy’ and go away.” A later version of Trump, given a mere month or two of further experience, would never have done this, but he actually believed there was goodwill among honorable men.
There was not.
The Flynn incident gave Obama carte blanche, according to their twisted logic of the law, to spy on President and Mrs. Trump, his family, his entire campaign and administration staff. It would be as if discovering Jimmy Carter’s brother Billy was profiting off of “Billy Beer,” as a reason to spy on his Presidency. Or to converse effect, it legitimately would have given a Republican free reign to spy on Biden after it was discovered his son was being bribed by a Ukrainian energy company, funneling money to his father; an actual crime! Yet when Trump had the temerity to merely ask about it, the Democrats claimed it was an Impeachable “offense.”
The first to learn he was unmasked was Trump assistant Ezra Cohen. Over 300 of them followed. Cohen found 200 pages of unmasking over six months. White House attorney John Eisenberg asked for reports from Susan Rice, at which time it became clear that their “worst fears” were confirmed. Rice had accumulated names of Trump campaign and administration officials reaching all the way to NASA, an abuse of power used to spy on first the Trump campaign, then his White House. Nothing done during Watergate remotely compared. Democrats just cheered, unworried anything like that could ever happen to them, which is in a twisted way a compliment to the comparable honesty of Republicans, as if this were any solace.
Nunes
This is when they got to Devin Nunes. “I knew when I saw the transcript leaked we had a big problem on our hands,” he said on the documentary. “The most powerful organs of state are not merely corrupt but have been weaponized to go after political enemies and that is very scary.”
California Congressman Devin Nunes emerged as a hero
“We are no longer living in the United States of America as we always understood it,” said Trump aide Corey Lewandowski.
This is how third world security states do it: Venezuela, Cuba, China, U.S.S.R., Mao, Hitler.
Lisa Page, Peter Strzok and Congressman Adam Schiff constructed a media narrative that “they colluded with the Russians,” hiding behind “classified documents” which never verified that and would never be made public because to let the public know they never existed would destroy the narrative.
None of this stopped the media onslaught, as with the New York Daily News announcing, “Trump is Hitler,” all advertised on his late night talk show by Conan O’Brien. Of course, to believe this is to believe that 62 million Americans, the nation that defeated Hitler, are Nazis. This is made more stupid when considering 90 percent of the generals who led this crusade were Republicans.
Further proof of this ridiculous assertion is the fact that conservative Republicans prefer rugged self-individualism and small government that stays off peoples backs, the high opposite of Hitler’s cradle-to-crave Socialism, which so closely resembles the plank of the Democrat Party.
It is straight out projectionism, a Saul Alinsky tactic: call your enemies what you are guilty of. Deflect from your own crimes by using a friendly media to accuse your opponent.
Or, perhaps a more likely comparison: “the Terrors” during the French Revolution.
Republicans, merrily going to church on Sundays because in the end all will end well, still thought it a joke, that Democrats just could not admit to losing another election. Surely it could not be as sinister as it was.
It was worse.
Democrats saying of Trump “he cheated” created massive violence and licensed “bad faith actors” to do whatever they wanted because they were fighting “Russian spies and Nazis.” Vice-President Kamala Harris would later create funding to help these people accused of burning buildings and shooting cops, urging more of it, but in the new America we live in, they all skated.
“Russiagate released a monster, the most egregious aspect of what is supposed to be good,” said Sidney Powell of their usurpation of Democratic freedoms in our society.
“What they investigated Trump for is what they themselves were doing,” said Congressman Nunes.
Nunes found out how they unmasked innocent people when Trump aide Kash Patel entered the scene, gathered information and pushed how the Democrats did the illegal unmasking. He walked Nunes through how the DOJ was unaware of how the FBI did this.
“The public needs to know,” said Patel.
He worked with Congressman Trey Gowdy, leading to the infamous “Steele dossier.” Christopher Steele is central to this tragedy. But at least when the Republicans read it, it confirmed what they knew all along.
Congressman Jordan read it and immediately called his friend, Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. “I told him and immediately we knew the Democrats have nothing,” said Jordan.
“It was a piece of garbage,” said Giuliani.
This did not stop the Democrats from shopping it to all their friendly reporters, which is completely illegal; again, something Republicans cannot get away with, but they do.
At the heart of the dossier is a strange story that says that some year prior to his Presidential run, private citizen Trump, in Moscow to promote one of his hotels, was captured by Putin’s spies entertaining hookers in the same hotel room Obama had allegedly stayed in earlier. According to this lie, Trump had paid the hookers to urinate on the bed Obama had once slept in.
Salacious, yes, but beyond that, what was this? Even if true, which it was not, were any laws broken beyond perhaps some Moscow city sanitation ordinance? This certainly may have been a Putin misinformation plant, just to see how thoroughly he could play the fools on the left-leaning side of American politics. Around this time some talk show hosts using Russian accents called Schiff saying they had “naked pictures of Trump,” causing him to urinate.
“They lied and missed us,” said Congressman Nunes. Patel did not take it seriously, calling it a “piece of the Russian banana show.”
The dossier was quickly disabused but Trump’s people did their due diligence anyway, using travel records to show Trump had not traveled on the date in question, and that the room number he (and Obama) supposedly stayed in literally did not exist. Still, they found career intelligence officers taking the dossier seriously, or at least they pretended to, since its veracity took second place to getting Trump on something.
Steele just did what his clients wanted, and as it turned out his clients were Hillary Clinton, the FBI, and the DNC. They all paid him handsomely, which is highly irregular at least for a law enforcement agency tasked with getting answers, not paying for fake answers.
As has happened so many times over the past three decades, Hillary Clinton is the genesis of evil in this story
To those who still insist Comey was a hero, this would normally disabuse them of that notion, but those days are long gone. The Democrats cannot be shamed, and the FBI may never overcome this scandal.
A State Department employee of John Kerry confessed to helping create the Steele dossier, so even the theory that Putin was having a little fun at the expense of the Americans apparently is not valid. It was not even Russian disinformation, but Clinton disinformation, with the State Department behind it.
Now, everybody knows these agencies are political and shift allegiance after elections, but is there no shame? Is there no honor, no sense of decency? One can just picture Joe McCarthy being asked these questions, his credibility crumbling, yet Democrats just plunder forward with the media happily lying every step of the way.
Why? Simple. Because they can. It all comes down to human psychology, and can be answered by anybody in Psyche 101. The only sense of honor comes from Jesus Christ, and the knowledge that He is judging you. Lacking this, and apparently many Democrats do, so as they say “if you believe nothing you will believe anything.”
More insanity, in the form of a real font of morality called Fusion GPS. To discover their role Congressman Nunes just followed the money, Patel investigated, they subpoenaed some banks, and Fusion GPS fought back because they knew Republicans had them.
“Fusion GPS is a racketeering outfit that makes things up about people and spread it not to the press . . . but to fake news . . . then feed it to the FBI.”
Comey’s, Page’s and Strzok’s FBI ate it up with a fork and spoon.
Patel knew Hillary paid for this.
Again, follow the money.
They visited bank attorneys and reviewed records not disclosed by Fusion GPS, then disclosing that Steele was paid by them. Democrat attorney Bruce Ohr’s wife Nellie was a specialist in Russian intelligence gathering and submitting to the press intel allowing bad press on Republicans to be made public, while protecting Democrats. Steele was also paid by the DNC themselves.
This was done via Perkins Coie, a DNC law firm that paid $10 million to Fusion GPS, and more money to Steele, and apparently paid Nellie Ohr $50,000 to get “dirt” on Trump and daughter Ivanka. Nunes and Patel, the Woodward and Bernstein of this cautionary tale, had connected the money and the people.
This did not stop the Democrats. Unlike Republicans after Watergate who hung their heads in shame, vowing never to do it again, the Democrats just looked for a new narrative. His name was Carter Page. The story on Page is that he was a low, very low level Trump campaign aide who may or may not have been on the payroll. He had some Russian background and offered to lend his “expertise” to the Trump team, apparently at his own expense.
He was drinking in a Moscow bar, where of course he was under surveillance by security, who approached him. He claimed he was a Trump envoy and wanted to talk turkey. He was put in touch with some Russian oligarchs, where he negotiated an agreement in which he would get 10-15 percent of Rosneft, a large gas firm, off the top of any deal he could get the Russians to cooperate on over better agreements with the Trump Administration.
If the FISA warrant were true, Patel said this meant Page would have received $12 billion! This was an amateur pretending to be James Bond. There is no chance Rosneft was going to pay him $12 billion.
Of course, it was not true.
Patel knew it was a corrupt FISA document, which he likened to being sued but not knowing it; then losing in court but not knowing it; and having no lawyer plus not being allowed to see the information on the case one had just lost.
So American.
These warrants are supposed to be used in the case of terrorists, like those held at Guantanamo, not American citizens, but again, if being done in the furtherance of the Democrat cause, well the ends justify the means. J accuse facing their accuser, like a modern day French policeman bent on destroying his target with the obsession of Ahab, to combine the literature of Dickens with Melville. The kind of stuff John Milius would know about, but Democrats are lost on because the classics have been discarded in favor of ethnic studies.
So archaic. Off with their heads.
The dossier and FISA was symbolically shredded by Patel, who is nothing short of a genius with a mind for such things, but he could not tell anybody yet. Patel showed that intelligence agencies used spies on Trump before all this happened; before the FISA application, which is supposed to have opened the door to what was already going on.
”The FISA court judge says, ‘Its sounds like you want to spy on Americans,’ and it was denied,” said Corey Lewandowski.
The FBI did not use their own manual on how to get surveillance and oversight. Ah, the great Jim Comey.
Carter Page, George Papadopoulos, Kellyanne Conway, Donald Trump, Jr., and Lewandowski had all been unmasked and were being listened to. Watergate.
“It was assumed we were being targeted,” said Donald Trump, Jr. He knew he was the number two target of “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.”
The FBI used the “six degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon” theory to justify their spy operation, using three “jumps” to surveil one party, then two jumps or, under the way Obama did it, three jumps from Carter Page, wiretapping Page, then Steve Bannon, then Lewandowski, then Trump, then his family, then his advisors, looking for criminal activity. They never found any.
It took until the fall for Patel to get a handle on it. Questioned, McCabe admitted he could not get a FISA with the Steele dossier. This did not stop Attorney General Loretta Lynch, instead of looking for real crimes, or Sally Yates, in theory tasked with the same noble pursuits, from conducting 65 interviews of Trump people.
In the mean time Comey was running around on a book and media tour telling the world Trump was immoral, as if this justified criminal investigations. 65 witnesses under oath all said no crimes had occurred, after everybody in the media media said there was.
Fake news.
Adam Schiff’s lies were exposed but no apology was forthcoming
Congressman Schiff kept saying it, still arguing he had “classified” documents proving it, which he did not have then and does not have now, yet he seems headed to a U.S. Senate seat in California, which was once the home of evangelical Christianity.
CNN even said he only had circumstantial evidence, but Schiff kept lying on CNN.
Then there was Crowd Strike and John Podesta; the scrubbing of internal services then falsely tied to the wrong person, country or actor.
The FBI should shave scrubbed the servers but Crowd Strike was in full control, limiting the FBI to what the DNC chose to allow them. Yes, the great FBI of G-men in the 1930s, reduced to lackeys being told what to do by their Democrat masters. They never got to the bottom of the hacking of Podesta’s email server because they did not want to, yet these were the same people who said if a crime or lead was found in any investigation, they were obligated to pursue this lead wherever the truth took them . . . that is, if the subject of the investigation was Trump, a Trump friend or associate, or any Republican really.
These are facts America has become intimately aware of, yet is there any wonder why there is a political revolution happening in this nation?
Comey was now fired, turned into a hero by the media, with Hollywood making the obligatory movie favoring the Democrat Party, seen by nobody.
Page and Strzok’s “insurance policy” was based on getting Flynn out because he would find out about their corruption, and this at all costs could not happen. The American public simply cannot be allowed to know something this true!
Mueller and the “witch hunt”
With the firing and discrediting of Strzok, Page and Comey, everything should have just ended, but no. Comey leaked memos leading to his mentor Robert Mueller, now being named special counsel investigating the whole mess, which kept it all in the news. Of course, the special counsel position Mueller was assigned to has since been declared by a high court as unconstitutional, but that was then and this is now.
Now the idea was for Mueller to eventually become FBI Director again and to “Deep six Hurricane Crossfire,” said Sebastian Gorda in reference to the name applied to the harebrained Comey-Strzok-Page “insurance policy.”
Mueller came in with Rod Rosenstein, a true creature of the Deep State, running the DOJ. Trump met Mueller and Rosenstein made him special prosecutor. Mueller was compromised and conflicted, part of the coup. He harassed Trump for a few more years, par for the course. Somehow during this time Trump defeated ISIS, lowered taxes, presided over the best economy of all times, and nominated Supreme Court Justices who would later end as a legal nationwide right a practice that has, since 1973, murdered more babies in the womb than Mao Tse-tung killed between 1949 and 1976.
This did not stop the desperate left from raiding the home of Trump supporter Paul Manafort, looking for anything to justify Russiagate. Poor Manafort had some suspicious mortgage activity and was jailed for it, of course. This thing was getting downright Kafkaesque.
Nunes now realized the corruption was worse than he ever thought possible, bless his heart. The press tried to destroy one of the most honest men in government. All under the guise of “national security,” which is how Watergate was perpetrated.
They discovered that FBI agents who interviewed Flynn thought he was truthful, but it was redacted so the public would not know they had destroyed a good man.
Comey lied on his book tour, saying the dossier was valid. The Schiff memo lied and said the same thing. Nunes and Patel debunked all of it. These men are heroes, and did heroic things against all odds.
All that Nunes said has been proven true.
The report came out disproving Schiff, who continued to lie saying, “I can’t be specific,” but he had never seen evidence of collusion or conspiracy.
“He knew he could say it on TV,” said Patel. The media then just made it into personal attacks. These included discredited tales of cocaine, more prostitutes, and other stories; Putin stooge, total Russia hawk, politics of personal destruction, going after wife and family. Ah, the free press, ain’t it grand?
Social media crazies stalked Nunes, who he called the “fake and phony press.” They went after Patel, calling him a “Machiavellian genius,” which might actually be complimentary.
Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz knew Rosenstein had renewed the FISA warrants so as to go after Patel personally. The Deep State in service of the people.
“At its core they just destroy individual people,” said ex-CIA Director Mike Pompeo.
“Trump is a traitor colluding with the Russians,” became the constant narrative. As the documentary oddly points out, if somebody reveals classified information it is a crime, but if he lies about it, it is not. Team Kafka would have had a field day.
The courageous Devin Nunes refused to be bullied or intimidated. The Mueller report ultimately proved Trump’s team was right, showing leaks to the press, then the FBI, using the story as a reason to investigate, a vicious cycle of corruption and collusion between the media and the Deep State.
Then the FBI took action, feeding false information to CNN and the New York Times; all in public to destroy Republicans. It was a big hoax, or a “witch hunt” as Trump called it.
As for Donald Trump, Jr. he proved this thesis true in real time since he was questioned over a nine-hour period. At every bathroom break he would check his phone and see the FBI was feeding everything to Twitter despite a promise to stay quiet at least until he was finished. There was no intention of “good faith.”
Mike Pompeo, a truly honorable and impressive man, said what worried him the most was that all the trade craft the CIA used during the Cold War had now been turned inward on the American people, meaning the Republicans, another example off history rhyming but in the opposite direction of its original target.
Pompeo said they created the “illusion of a sophisticated operation uncovering Russian assets” when in fact it was sophomoric, using Page, a low level guy getting drunk in a bar, faking the court and Congress with “misinformation of the highest levels.”
Even CNN said publicly they were not able to read what was presented, as if they were the only arbiter of such information. Conservatives did not need CNN to tell them what they had long known.
Then there were the infamous “fact checkers” in newsrooms, Facebook, Twitter, and eventually even a “ministry of truth” under Biden, taking a page straight out of George Orwell’s 1984. None of this bore the slightest resemblance to reality. Don, Jr. accurately said that everything CNN said about him was a lie, that testimonies exonerated him, but “there is no consequence.”
Proven to be liars, instead of offering apologies and resignations to the American people, the likes of Don Lemon at CNN returned to the tired old playbook of the new right, Nazis, Hitler, high level white supremacists. They were no more successful at this narrative than the liar Jussie Smollett. Disproved on his allegations of the Russia collusion narrative with Putin, eventually even Lemon got kicked out of his job, courtesy of the fact his program was no longer seen by people.
But Rachel Maddow, MSNBC, Adam Schiff, not to mention Hillary, the Obama/Biden Administration; nobody pays a price. Schiff never apologized. Even in disgrace, the fired Lemon never apologized.
But they accomplished their goals in various forms: indictment, conviction, Impeachment, Strzok and Page with their “insurance policy.” One cannot discount the impact of all this on the 2020 election, which without Russiagate and the Chinee Communist virus would have been won by Trump going away. It is all inter-connected. At this point the dots are connected enough to see the Deep State’s hand in everything.
The hits just kept on coming. Anybody associated with Trump was a target. Rudolph Giuliani, an American hero, was charged merely for doing his job as Trump’s attorney.
Longtime Trump advocate Roger Stone saw his home broken into by corrupt law enforcement. They were completely harmless, but nevertheless a SWAT team with full gear brandishing assault weapons, 17 armored vehicles, FBI helicopters, even an amphibious unit with armed frog men in the canal near his house, dragged he and his wife out of their home in their bare feet and night gowns. The media was alerted and CNN was waiting for the spectacle to unfold for 14 minutes before the break-in. Stone was “targeted for political persecution.” They came up with nothing on Stone except supposedly lying to Congress, another law that is never enforced unless it is to get only Republicans.
Innocent people like Roger Stone were rounded up if they were associated with Trump
Adan Schiff said Don, Jr. committed treason, a crime that carries the death penalty, because he had discussed with a Russian lawyer damaging information on Dems, a totally legal act. Perfectly, when the talk host later called Schiff offering “naked pictures of Trump,” the clown from California jumped at the chance to profit from it.
But Don, Jr. stated perhaps the most poignant thing in The Plot Against the President. “My biggest regret was not being more vocal about what they did to General Flynn,” he said. “ I still had faith as an American in these institutions, but it was the biggest mistake of my life.”
A Democrat judge accusing Flynn of treason let the media have their way with him. After hours of pressure on Flynn, threatening to indict him and his son if Flynn did not enter a guilty plea, he acceded. He was not a rich man and was forced to do it.
“They wanted to stop the pain to his whole family,” said Sidney Powell.
They knew he was not a Russian agent, that there was no collusion, and even inserted into the 302 statement that he never made things up, he never said anything to manipulate the facts, yet he was allowed to twist in the wind, a general and war hero. This was done primarily by Strzok and Page, authors of the “insurance policy.” Pence had fired him based on the alterations approved by McCabe.
“If this can be done to General Michael T. Flynn imagine what they can do to anybody who has a single strike against them,” stated Powell.
There are many enemies of America in this sad tale of corruption and lies, but perhaps beyond even Comey, Obama, Strzok or Page, the number one enemy is Adam Schiff, who Pompeo called a “modern day Joe McCarthy.”
“Information is transparent and the trust has been broken because they lied to us,” said Ric Grennell, adding that indictments against these Democrat criminals are needed, but most Republicans hear that and just shrug, just as the I.G. Report and the famed Durham Report never resulted in prosecutions and prison time for the guilty.
Trust has been broken. Consider carefully what this means. Do not take such a thing lightly. Do not take such a thing lying down, either; not in America.
But if justice is to be served both the Democrats and the intelligence people should be prosecuted, yet they are not questioned and in fact are made into heroes by the media and the Democrats. Nobody will investigate themselves, as Fred Thompson once did to Richard Nixon during Watergate.
“We have a dual justice system, the “department of just us,” said Pompeo.
Nunes said “exactly what they charged Trump with what they themselves were doing,” the ultimate act of transference that they have always done, these Saul Alinsky tactics of polarization, lying, and mocking their targets in public.
Since the Mueller report showed all that Trump did and said was true, subsequent events demonstrate there are many ways to steal an election. In 2024 there is nothing to suggest anything the Democrats said was true, but they got rid of Trump in 2020 in such a way that at the time it looked like he was gone forever.
This was the greatest crime against the American people ever seen, a coup, the death of righteousness in American government, and an attempt to take over from a duly elected President for their own personal gain. It makes Watergate look like child’s play.
It was the attempt to overthrow an election they could not legally win, to do it in a way that would look palatable to the liberal media, instead of seizing a building like it is done in Africa. It was done by officials in a new form of secret police now in control of our security apparatus.
If people in charge of guarding the state choose to turn against the state we are defenseless as they spy on us, bankrupt us, and send us to jail. Make no mistake, Donald Trump, Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, General Mike Flynn, Rudy Giuliani and many, many other patriots have accepted indictments, jail, raids, even a bullet, not for their own benefit or power, but for you and me!
Theirs is an America that if deemed to have “made a mistake” by electing the “wrong guy,” they have the “insurance policy,” which is up to them to implement, to correct the “mistakes” by “smelly Trump people who shop at Walmart,” as Strzok and Page referred to his supporters. This is the fundamental threat to Democracy. In November, we have a chance to kick back against this, at least a little bit. We have a match-up between a man who in 2020 received more votes for President of the United States than any sitting President in history, vs. their hand-picked minion, who received zero votes in the most recent primary. This is our chance to say that we will not accept the crime of the century, the entire Democrat Party and Deep State colluding in The Plot Against the President.
“I had no grasp of how bad it would be but I didn’t expect it,” said security official Michael Anton. “Then it happened.”
It has been happening since paid spies worked for FDR in the Oval Office and in the U.N., but since Obama the American people, fat and happy with their sports and their beer and their porn, having completely forgotten Reagan’s warning that each generation must fight for their freedom, have become like the lobster placed in a slow-burning pot until we pass out and die without realizing it.
“Russiagate is the most egregious, malevolent abuse of all that was supposed to be good about our country,” said Powell.
It inspired Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and crimes in our streets. Many Trump supporters were lucky only to have their reputations smeared, but others got framed for crimes. This includes many who participated on January 6, 2021.
“How do you get your reputation back?” asked Pompeo.
A false reality is used to silence conservatives, especially in social media. The organs of law enforcement, once hailed as heroes like Eliot Ness and Rudy Giuliani, “are not just corrupt but weaponized,” said Anton. “I don’t live in the United States of America anymore. This has been the saddest thing in my life.”
Even if Trump wins in November, does anybody think he can truly “drain the swamp,” destroy the Deep State, and actually haul the whole lot of criminals and conspirators aligned against him to jail, where they belong? They are no easier to just round up and put away than sin can be overcome in this fallen world.
Humans are now slaves to the intelligence community, to a press who dominate us and, if you go against them, you are destroyed. Is this the price for being a “free person” and “a free people”? The question is whether we really can fix the problems. Are rules available for us to do this?
If Hillary had won, we would never know about Russiagate, just as Biden covered up the shenanigans of the 2020 election and his crime families’ neck-deep involvement in the Ukraine corruption.
The Bible tells us about many immoral, adulterous, even murderous men chosen to do God’s work. Nobody ever said Donald Trump was a man without flaws, but have such highly qualified men as Richard Nixon, as Bob Dole, as John McCain and Mitt Romney; did they save us from what we face today?
Nixon tried. He demanded the resignation of the entire Deep State the day after his landslide 1972 victory. We see what happened to him, done to him by CIA careerists worried about opening up Red China, by military careerists who hated detente. They got rid of him and eventually got Reagan, who said, “Detente sounds like the agreement the turkey has with the farmer before Thanksgiving.”
If not for Congressman Nunes with apparent help from some intrepid truth seekers standing up to the mob, not agreeing with their narrative, we would not know all of this. Many surely knew the Democrats were wrong at the time, but he exposed all of it as illegal. He showed true moral courage. The Democrats never apologized, just as the Greeks never apologized for killing Socrates, although moral courage in the face of the mob was, as Aristotle said, the truest expression of truth in the face of lies. Whittaker Chambers said “nothing is as loud as the truth-teller standing up in the face of the liar’s shouts.”
Nunes said these agencies must be brought down. Giuliani, a victim as much as anything, agreed.
Conclusion: the Deep State
In theory at least, the arguments made in The Plot Against the President should be non-partisan, for no other reason than because, as stated, history does not repeat, it rhymes, and when it does it does so in the opposite direction of the previous target. It stands to reason that as the tides of history change, as more and more Americans come to truly realize how corrupt the left is, they will vote them out of office until this country is controlled by the Grand Ol’ Party as thoroughly as we were after the Civil War, and when this happens in 40, 50 years . . . or less, as Lord John Acton said, “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
Yes, liberals, left to their own devices will become Pol Pot, while conservatives left to their own devices will write the Constitution, but is such a generous accounting of conservatism an absolute for time immemorial? We are humans beings, born into sin, and revenge for past crimes committed against us will be tempting.
So if the left desires their children and grandchildren to live free, they should take this issue as seriously as we do. So far, good luck with that.
But why are they like that?
Consider this: What Communists once got Americans to do through spy craft, blackmail, extortion and recruitment, a large segment of American citizens today freely choose to do as a matter of political choice. This means Marxism and cultural Marxism. The villains here are our public schools, academia, and the media.
Once upon a time, the Communists had to recruit or blackmail Americans into betraying America; today they learn to do it out of their own free will, taught to do so by modern academia
Perhaps the sage of southeast Missouri, the late, great Rush Limbaugh, put his finger on it best. Speaking of Obama and members of the Deep State during his era, he said these career Democrats do not need marching orders, texts, phone records, written memos; they just know what men like Obama need done for them in order to get what they want. So they do it and are rewarded with the good life in northern Virginia.
Or being historical about it, one can quote from King Henry II who said, “Who will rid me of this troublesome priest?” That was all that was needed and soon Thomas Beckett was dead.
But the Russiagate scandal, coming on the heels of the Benghazi cover-up, Hillary using “bleach bit” to obstruct justice and erase evidence that would put normal people behind bars, gives rise to a re-examination of events after this, many of which may have been “false flag” operations.
My good friend Charles Young, an All-American football star at USC who became a Christian pastor, said whenever assassinations take place, it usually comes from the inside. Julius Caesar was killed by his own senate. Shakespeare is rife with such treachery.
What we have seen over the past decade-plus sheds new light on the killing of George Patton, ostensibly because he advocated war with Communism. Did the CIA murder John Kennedy? Did they murder his brother, for that matter? Such a thing once was deemed impossible. Not anymore. We know what men, even so-called “honorable” men in the CIA, the Secret Service, the military and law enforcement are capable of. A recent book places great plausibility that Charles Manson was the product of a CIA operation to use LSD to train people into being unfeeling murderers. It was called MKUltra and today nobody denies it. A re-examination of Watergate demonstrates this may well have been a coup d’tat.
In light of the lies that have been stated and accepted, can we ask a few questions?
Russiagate shows a level of corruption and vile lack of adherence to the truth that boggles the mind of any patriot, leaving people like me broken hearted. Having had the Russia narrative blown up in their face, this did not stop 50 intelligence people from signing off on what was then and has since been further proven to be a lie, that Hunter Biden was not bribed by Ukraine, funneling the money to his father.
50 intelligence professionals! Trained experts. People who in theory enter government service for patriotic reasons. All stooges of the left, yet these are the people tasked with protecting us, just as the Secret Service are tasked with protecting pols.
Russiagate demonstrates there are many ways to steal an election, and they are not all stuffed mail-in ballots turned in at designated drop zones by people voting “early and often,” as the saying went in LBJ’s Texas. “A conspiracy so immense” between the Democrats, the media, and the Deep State, as so brilliantly demonstrated in The Plot Against the President (not to mention by Dinesh D’Souza in 2000 Mules) shows that whether Joe Biden won fair and square in 2020, at the very least it is worth questioning it.
On January 6, 2021, for instance, President Trump asked Nancy Pelosi for extra security. The request was denied. Is it possible Pelosi knew of a plot to allow the protesters to invade the Capitol so that she would have an issue to make Trump supporters look bad?
How come all the Secret Service texts from January 6 have never been made available? Is it because they were in on the above-referenced plot to let Trump’s people raid the Capitol? After all, people caught on tape advocating just such a thing have walked away scot-free, while a few pranksters caught on camera phones walking around like tourists rot in jail for years.
On that date, there was a supposed pipe bomb planted close to Vice-President Kamala Harris, yet this incident has been scrubbed from the records. Was this a “false flag” in case the Trump supporters did not do “what they were supposed to do”?
Add to this the fact that Trump was indicted for having documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate, which were legal because he de-classified them. Biden had actual classified documents at his home but skated because he was senile.
Trump faced prosecution and law suits on other unimportant matters. They tried to let Hunter skate, which he ultimately will, as will his father. See a pattern there?
Finally, is it possible the attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania was a plot involving the Secret Service, and if so how high up does it go? To Biden? To Obama?
It gives me no pleasure to suggest this country has fallen to this level, but an honest accounting of the events discussed in this thesis, not to mention far more incidents over the years than can be listed here, bear scrutiny.
Ultimately only God can save us
