Traitors within the Gate
Special Opinion Piece

Source:

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear..”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero

The American Empire started down a slippery slope to oblivion at the beginning of the reign of Bush Junior.

No one “won” the election of 2000. The Supreme Court, on partisan count, voted in GWB. He, of course, was the draft dodging drunken village idiot who accomplished nothing of merit his entire life with perhaps the sole exception of finding Jesus in his fourth decade. Frankly I never even knew Jesus was lost.

We had a president who wasn’t really THE PRESIDENT and a vacuum of leadership at the top of the most powerful nation in history. Politics abhors a void so the Vice President and his band of merry men took over the reins of power. In a soft coup a group of about a dozen religious fanatics owing their first allegiance to a foreign power seized control of the military and the foreign policy of the United States.

America soon found itself immersed in a series of meaningless wars at great expense where only one territory actually “won” anything. I call it a territory because countries have borders and laws and this entity has neither.

America eventually tired of The Forever War. On the basis of a pledge of no more war a candidate from the other party became president after the 2008 election. The Nobel Committee was so thrilled that he managed to go 17 days in office without starting a new war that they awarded Obama a Nobel Peace Prize in 2009.

In return Obama managed to serve eight years in office with US troops fighting somewhere during every single day of the two terms.

Then we had the incredible election of 2016 with a candidate promising to tell the truth about who did 911, Hillary would get the jail cell she so richly deserves and we would cut out the stupid wars. So far Trump is batting an even zero for three.

Over the centuries father-time changed Rome since the days of Julius Caesar. The bridge over the Rubicon is now a one-way toll bridge. The toll is mandatory. The toll collector wants his payment now.

Ever since the birth of the CIA in 1947 the three letter agencies in the US, including the CIA, FBI, NSA and DOJ, have believed they should specialize in regime change. We had them in Greece and Guatemala, Iran and Iraq, Syria and Somalia, Ukraine and the Congo, the list goes on forever.

Exactly fifty years ago I was flying combat missions in one of those stupid wars the US used to start every generation or so. At the conclusion of every single flight I would be debriefed by the intelligence officer and file an after action report.

After all, we needed to know what we were doing right as well as what we were doing wrong. Our lives were at stake. We had to understand just how successful we really were. If we were successful at all.

No matter how many trumped up regime changes we have conducted over seventy years, the US just isn’t very good at it. If anyone had conducted even a single after action report, we could have changed our ways. But it’s too late now; the three letter agencies are in the midst of a regime change at home. Remember, that bridge over the Rubicon is a one-way toll bridge and a price must be paid. In blood if need be.

Our problems with Iran go back as far as 1953 where the CIA determined that the citizens of Iran didn’t really need to elect their own leaders, we could pick for them since we are so much smarter that they are. The US is the “Exceptional” country. That was a giant and expensive mistake on the part of the CIA: we are still paying for our error.

In Afghanistan, scene of the longest war in US history, the US cannot defeat insurgents who band together in groups no larger than a good size Girl Scout pack. But we cannot overthrow them. It matters not that they were no threat to the US and have never attacked us. They stand in the way of the “Exceptional” empire. The major success of the US was to increase the flow of heroin by 1000% in a country where if you were to bomb them back to the Stone Age, you would improve the standard of living.

The US went into Syria contrary to the wishes of the democratically elected government and remains today. It turns out the US and Israel were training and supplying ISIS with weapons. The real goal was regime change on behalf of Israel as detailed in “The Clean Break” published in 1996 but dismissed at the time for being far too radical for the criminals behind it to get away with.

Few remember the immoral words of Hillary Clinton as she chortled at the death of Muammar al-Gaddafi at the hands of a mob. “We came. We saw. He died.” Gaddafi was unique in all of Africa in that he actually shared the oil wealth with his people. The US claimed victory but created a desert with the death of tens of thousands. Libya after a regime change has turned into a shit hole. Which is pretty much the standard for the US.

Who do you suppose would win an election in Iraq if Saddam Hussein were alive and running for office today? Is anyone delusional enough to believe we helped Iraqis overall by turning them into homeless refugees after murdering millions of them. How many Americans are even aware that Hussein’s first paycheck came from the CIA as an assassin?

If every single regime change you conducted turned into a clusterfuck leading to the deaths of millions who in their right mind would actually believe doing one in your own country is a good idea?

The 2016 election was supposed to be little more than the anointment of Hillary Clinton. We know she stole the primary election from Sanders. We know she laundered tens of millions of dollars that was by law supposed to go to the DNC. We know she put out a For Sale sign on the lawn of the State Department and held a tag sale every Saturday during her entire tenure as Secretary of State.

If you wanted something from the US Department of State all you had to do was make a “contribution” to the Clinton Foundation to get her attention. It was a money-laundering scheme worth hundreds of millions of dollars to the Clintons.

Peter Strzok and James Comey conducted an investigation into her illegal use of a home baked server where her crimes were so obvious that Ray Charles could have seen them. FBI Director Comey was kind enough that he volunteered to announce her total innocence in the place of the DOJ who by law are the group responsible for making that determination.

Even though Strzok worshiped at the altar of Hillary Clinton and hated Donald Trump, he somehow managed to miss the fact that if he really wanted to read the 30,000 emails that Clinton misplaced, all he had to do was contact the Chinese.

After all, they had them. All of them at every level of classification up to Top Secret. The FBI is still lying about Peter Strzok knowing about the Chinese intrusion. Strzok concluded Clinton was as innocent as a newborn baby before finishing his “investigation.” Without bothering to question even a single witness Strzok just knew Trump was in bed with the Russians.

That’s total bullshit by the way. Trump only beds hookers with giant boobs, not Russians.

The charge by former CIA head, John Brennan, that President Trump committed treason by inviting President Putin of Russia to the US for meetings certainly is treason. But it’s treason on the part of John Brennan.

It is the job of the president to meet with the heads of foreign states. It is even more vital to discuss with the head of states that might at some point become enemies. John Brennan has committed treason by building out of whole cloth a fictitious story of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign.

That allegation on the part of Brennan and his fellow cartel members has all the substance of a five-course meal of nothing-burgers.

There was Russian collusion during the election but it was on the part of the DNC, the FBI and Christopher Steele in the form of the Russian dossier. The FBI gang lied to the FISA court about the origin of the dossier and who paid for it. The Clinton campaign originated the document and paid for most of it.

Naturally since the FBI paid for part of it, they didn’t want either the FISA Court or the American people to learn of their treachery or where it came from. That’s treason.

The FBI/CIA/DOJ/NSA/DNI are not in charge of determining who should be president. The voters are. To subvert the electoral process is to commit treason.

The mainstream media has yet to realize that they lost control of the narrative with the advent of the Internet. Not that there isn’t a lot of fake news on the Internet. But when the MSM is all fake news any real news even from Internet sources gives readers so chance at seeing some of the truth some of the time. The MSM is just as corrupt and guilty of treason as are Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Rosenstein, McCabe, Strzok, Mueller, Sessions, Orr, Lynch, Page, Clinton and Obama.

Washington DC and the idiots who work there live in a fools paradise, an echo chamber, where they get all their information from each other. They actually believe the American people and the rest of the world listen to their horse manure. How many people gave Trump even a slim chance in the election? Nearly zero because the MSM and three letter agencies don’t listen or communicate with the American people.

Few get it. Trump wasn’t elected because anyone believed he was anything more than a puffed up buffoon who made a great reality show host. He was nothing more than the anti-Hillary candidate. It was a great way for Americans to vote against the corruption of the political process and the fat cat media. You weren’t required to like Trump to totally dislike Hillary Clinton and all her baggage.

A common belief in the media is that two half-truths are almost the same as a whole truth. Actually a half-truth is a lie and two half-truths are two lies.

Russian collusion did exist during the election in the form of the Russian dossier. There may have been a few Facebook ads in support of Trump. I don’t know and I don’t think anyone else does either. But another half-truth that is a total lie is that the Russians had an effect on the election. They didn’t.

There is another unspoken half-truth that is a far bigger lie. That is to accuse the Russians of affecting our election without mentioning the US is guilty of far worse. It’s not possible to find a coin with only a single side. All coins have multiple sides. As do all issues. To look at one side and pretend it is all that is important is a lie.

Do you remember the video of Victoria Newland where she bragged about the US spending $5 billion to subvert Ukraine over a 20-year period? Now that is some serious ass kicking bribery yet the lamestream media keeps reporting some chump change Facebook ads just as if they swung the election. They didn’t. They didn’t have any effect on the election. Not a single vote.

The US has participated in subverting the election process of every other country in the world since the CIA began in 1947. They think it’s their job and now they have done the same to the US system. Average Americans no longer trust the system since they sense the level of official corruption.

The whole Russian/Trump horseshit began after someone stuck a USB stick into the DNC server to steal their email before the election. We know the Russians didn’t do it because of the length of time it took to download the emails. It couldn’t have been done remotely.

The NSA also knows just who turned those emails over to Wikileaks; after all, if they can put a wiretap on Merkel, they certainly listen to everything going to Julian Assange.

The reason the DNC raised the Russia/Trump nonsense in the first place was to try to cover up for the fact that the DNC was violating election and finance laws like crazy. The DNC just want to toss some shit on the wall in the hopes some would stick. It did but it also stinks to high heaven.

Obama tossed the entire Executive Branch into a blender in his administration. If it was OK for the best part of a dozen neocons to subvert our foreign policy on behalf of a foreign entity under Bush, then it also must be OK to use the FBI, DOJ, IRS, NSA, DNI, and CIA to be in charge of picking the president. But that wasn’t the real reason for making all of the three letter agencies political animals. It had far more to do with covering up the wholesale looting of the US Treasury.

Eisenhower warned us of the dangers of the Military Industrial Complex in his farewell speech in January of 1961 after another contested election probably determined by the vote of dead people.

“Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense. We have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on military security alone more than the net income of all United States corporations.

Now this conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence—economic, political, even spiritual—is felt in every city, every Statehouse, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet, we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources, and livelihood are all involved. So is the very structure of our society.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.”

 

Eisenhower actually used the term “Congressional, Military, Industrial Complex” in his draft of the speech but one of his staff edited out the word “Congressional” knowing that identifying them for what they were would piss them off. So it’s not really the MIC, properly it is the CMIC.

The CMIC has tentacles in every three-letter agency. Years ago they created a revolving door setup where you can work in “Government Service” in the military or any of the three letter agencies and then move on to highly paid directorships with the CMIC.

Take my word I was an F-4B pilot when I was twenty and flew the plane for 125 missions in Vietnam. I know fighter aircraft and combat. The F-35 is the most expensive and useless aircraft the US ever designed. It wouldn’t last five minutes in real combat. But with F-35 programs in 46 US states employing 32,500 jobs, it is viewed as too big to kill.

The United States hasn’t “won” a war in seventy years. And we didn’t really “win” World War II; the Russians killed 85% of the German soldiers who died between D-Day and VE-Day. Today due to the corruption in defense procurement we can’t build ships that run or airplanes that fly. We have a cancer in the “Defense” industry that everyone can see and no one will cut out.

But the participants in the “Defense” industry know how to butter the bread of Congress. That’s why we can fight wars lasting decades and no one really remembers why we started fighting in the first place.

It was what allows a tiny and meaningless territory in the Middle East to seize control of US foreign policy and then get the US military to fight wars for them. They were a 5th column and should Trump be removed from office or killed, they will control the US.

Robert Mueller was appointed a Special Counsel under the auspices that he was to investigate any Russian collusion in the 2016 election. That was a joke from the gitgo because the whole “Russian Collusion” was nothing more than Hillary Clinton whining about losing the election after her buddies in the CMIC and MSM all assured her that she was a shoe in. But it grew a life of it’s own.

Since the three letter agencies couldn’t swing the election for their candidate, perhaps they could just take out Trump with a fake investigation after the election. We know it was phony from the gitgo because even Peter Strzok, who hated Trump, said of the charges, “no big there there.”

When the guy responsible for both the Hillary Clinton whitewash and instigating the Trump attacks admits at the very beginning of the investigation that there is “no big there there” perhaps he meant exactly what he said.

Not to his great surprise, Robert Mueller has found no Russian collusion with the Trump campaign in spite of knowing “no big there there.”

The MSM leapt on the conviction of Paul Manafort and the guilty plea of Michael Cohen just as if they had discovered fire and the wheel on the same day. But Paul Manafort was convicted of financial events that took place ten years before the election of Trump. His guilt or innocence had absolutely nothing to do with Donald Trump or the election. It was just a tool for Special Counsel Robert Mueller to beat him with in an effort to get him “creative” in coming up with some charges against Trump. All Manafort would have to do is allege something knowing that Trump would deny it under oath and Mueller would have his “crime.”

But what few Americans realize but all prosecutors know is that every American commits an average of three felonies a day. In the US today a prosecutor can convict anyone of something, innocence be damned. Mueller isn’t after the truth, he want’s Donald Trump’s scalp hanging over his mantelpiece.

Yes he convicted Michael Cohen who pled guilty to helping Trump cover up under the table payoffs to a pair of hookers during the election. Donald Trump and I are the same age. If I had been banging those broads, I would have bragged about it to the world. Why did those two idiots pay them off to shut them up? I’d pay them about the same price if they would claim I had had them. True or just a wet dream.

But the money charges against Cohen were his pleas on tax evasion and filing false financial statements. The payments to the ladies of the night were probably legal; they have not been proven in court. If Mueller wanted a guilty plea to rape of an underage German Shepard, Cohen would have consented. After all, Mueller holds the keys to Cohen’s jail cell in his hands. Cohen would have pled guilty to anything.

In fifteen months as Special Counsel Robert Mueller he has found no trace of Russian collusion in the election with Donald Trump. If Mueller really wanted convictions for Russian collusion he would do better to look into the collusion between the FBI, the DNC and those behind the Russian Dossier.

If Mueller really wanted a slam dunk conviction all he would have to do would be to charge Peter Strzok with perjury for claiming that his bias had nothing to do with clearing Hillary Clinton and starting the investigation into Trump. Strzok and his slut exchanged some 50,000 texts. But that was just on Strzok’s FBI device. We don’t have any idea of how many texts there were between the pair on Strzok’s private device. He has assured the FBI that they don’t need access to them since they are private and have nothing to do with the matter. We are to believe that he only proved his bias on his FBI device.

If Mueller charged Peter Strzok with perjury in telling Congress and the world that he was totally professional in his investigations he could chalk up an easy conviction. The mere fact that he worshiped Hillary and hated Trump had no effect on his behavior Strzok claimed. Mueller could put Hilary Clinton and eleven clones on the jury. All he would have to do is play the texts one after the other. There could be no defense. The jury wouldn’t have to leave the jury box before voting 12-0 to convict.

Almost fifty years ago Robert Mueller was a young Marine platoon commander in Vietnam. When his unit in the 4th Marines were getting their asses kicked at Mutter’s Ridge, I was overhead at 1200 feet in a single engine Birddog providing close air support to save them. We have a lot in common.

As Marine officers we were required to take an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” I fought in Vietnam for almost two years believing as I was told that the Vietnamese were our enemies. Of course they weren’t but still I am proud of the risks I took to save the lives of fellow Marines.

I remember well my oath. Clearly Robert Mueller has forgotten his because he has turned into one of those domestic enemies of the Constitution.

We can survive fools as President; we had the village idiot in George Bush. He allowed the neocons to seize the government.

We can survive Presidents who can’t keep their peckers in their pockets. JFK was banging his girlfriends in the White House.

Bill Clinton made a far bigger payoff of $850,00 to Paula Jones for her charge of rape on his part than any payoff from Trump. Contrary to his claims, records show he made 26 flights on the Lolita Express, five after ditching his protection detail. Are we really to believe that seventeen-year-old stewardesses don’t wear panties on other flights? He was flying with a convicted pedophile; does anyone actually think that those flights compared with Trump paying off a hooker? A hooker of legal age. Has the leopard changed its spots?

The recent confirmation fiasco of Judge Kavanaugh created the interesting question as to just who was the most humiliated by the actions of the opposing party. Kavanaugh or Dr. Ford?

The Republicans seemed to forget that the judge supports more and more powerful central government. The Democrats glossed over the fact that Dr. Ford is a card carrying Democrat activist. It was embarrassing to view the depths that our current political parties will stoop to gain advantage in the process.

Soros was in the background handing out hundred dollar bills to support his version of freedom and democracy. Is there any wonder that Americans fear government corruption more than anything else? His latest contribution is to pay the way of thousands of migrants from Central America to the American border. I suppose the Democrats need the votes.

But as an act of political theater, what can trump someone sending pipe bombs to prominent Democrats knowing that there isn’t a chance in hell of them not being identified as weapons? Anyone smart enough to construct a pipe bomb is also smart enough to know that all big name politicians have their packages screened. So the Democrats can now pretend to be victims just in time for the mid-term elections.

I don’t care if Robert Mueller likes Donald Trump. When someone is legally elected president that’s it until the next fool wins office. For the FBI, DOJ, NSA, CIA, DNI and MSM to take active measures to overthrow the legal government of the United States is clearly treason.

The US has had a Coup d’état in progress since before the 2016 election to ensure Hillary Clinton became president in spite of her numerous and obvious crimes that the three letter agencies and MSM totally ignore. They are missing something important.

“When you strike at a king, you must kill him.”

― Ralph Waldo Emerson

Under the provisions of the NDAA passed under GWB and later modified under Barack Obama anyone in the world can be charged with terrorism against the US and incarcerated or killed without judicial oversight. Those deeply currently engaged in high treason against the United States might want to consider their actions.

This is hardly “maybe treason” it’s outright and obvious treason.

Coups have a nasty way of surprising those who engage in them.
