In a recent article Pat Buchanan expressed his concern that politics in America are deteriorating to such a degree that it becoming almost like we’re in the middle of a civil war.
While Trump is the elected President and the Chief Of State his administration is full of people that are not loyal to him. That’s a real problem. At the same time that Trump is attempting to restore the sovereignty of our country, the Washington elite are trying to undo it.
What started out as nonviolent protests are becoming increasingly confrontational with reports of fistfights and mob brawls become more frequent. The police are having a hard time keeping pro-Trump and anti-Trump factions apart. A few people have been arrested for illegally carrying firearms.
It is clear that Washington is set on destroying the Trump presidency. They want to bring him down. And they are using the deep state to accomplish that goal. It’s becoming obvious.
Consider that the fired Director of the FBI, James Comey, admitted (while under oath) that he purposely leaked his notes concerning a private conversation with Trump to The New York Times. He used his friend, a college professor, to do the handoff.
In his article, Buchanan explains that Comey’s stated goal was to have the Times story trigger the appointment of a special prosecutor in the hopes of bringing a sitting President down.
Even though Comey knew that Trump was innocent of any crime, based on his own FBI investigation, he wanted the special prosecutor to pursue the phony charges of collusion with the Russians.
Comey’s deceitful move was designed to use the police powers of the state to bring down the president. And the plan worked. He handed the fake investigation to his old friend, and former director of the FBI, Robert Mueller.
Newt Gingrich has been vocal about the obvious conspiracy that’s unfolding in Wasington as the players line up to overthrough the President. On a Sunday talk show, Mr. Gingrich pointed out that one need only “Look at who Mueller’s starting to hire … These are people that… look to me like they’re setting up to go after Trump… including people, by the way, who have been reprimanded for hiding from the defense information into maror cases… ”
“This is going to be a witch hunt.”
Then there’s the reporting from Daily Kos, that Trump planned a swift lifting of sanctions on Russia after his inauguration and a summit meeting with Vladimir Putin to prevent a second Cold War. The State Department was tasked with working out the details.
Instead, says Daniel Fried, the coordinator for sanctions policy, he received “panicky” calls of “Please, my God, can you stop this?”
Entrenched operatives within the State Department, disloyal to the President and hostile to the Russian policy on which he had been elected, collaborated with elements in Congress to sabotage any detente. They succeeded.
“It would have been a win-win for Moscow,” said Tom Malinowski of State, who boasted last week of his role in blocking a rapprochement with Russia. State employees sabotaged one of the main policies that Americans had voted, and they substituted their own.
Never before have there been so many leaks to damage a President from within his own government. And these aren’t just political leaks, but leaks from intelligence and investigative agencies. Trumps own government is purposefully responsible for the leaking of confidential, classified and secret documents.
Buchanan made it clear that the media, the beneficiaries of these leaks, are giving cover to those breaking the law. The real criminal “collusion” in Washington is between Big Media and the deep state, colluding to destroy a President they detest and to sink the policies they oppose.
And the article continued, “Yet another example is the unfolding “unmasking” scandal. While all the evidence is not yet in, it appears an abnormal number of conversations between Trump associates and Russians were intercepted by U.S. intelligence agencies.
On orders higher up, the conversations were transcribed, and, contrary to law, the names of Trump associates unmasked.
Then those transcripts, with names revealed, were spread to all 16 agencies of the intel community at the direction of Susan Rice, and with the possible knowledge of Barack Obama, assuring some would be leaked after Trump became President.
The leak of Gen. Michael Flynn’s conversation with the Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, after Obama imposed sanctions on Russia for the hacking of the DNC, may have been a product of the unmasking operation. The media hit on Flynn cost him the National Security Council post.
Trump has had many accomplishments since his election. Yet his enemies in the media and their deep state allies have often made a purgatory of his presidency.
What he and his White House need to understand is that this is not going to end, that this is a fight to the finish, that his enemies will not relent until they see him impeached or resigning in disgrace.
To prevail, Trump will have to campaign across this country and wage guerrilla war in this capital, using the legal and political weapons at his disposal to ferret out the enemies within his own government.
Not only is this battle essential, if Trump hopes to realize his agenda, it is winnable. For the people sense that the Beltway elites are cynically engaged in preserving their own privileges, positions and power.
If the President cannot rewrite Obamacare or achieve tax reform, he should not go around the country in 2018 wailing about Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer. They are not the real adversaries. They are but interchangeable parts.
He should campaign against the real enemies of America First by promising to purge the deep state and flog its media collaborators. Time to burn down the Bastille.”
