Guest Post by Eric Peters
Back when I was a Boy Scout, I experienced something called a Snipe Hunt. It was a hunt for a nonexistent beast – a way to divert and occupy boys otherwise bored. So long as the boys believed in the reality of the Snipe – and the possibility of a glorious kill – they were happy.
And kept busy.
It was harmless fun.
The Orange One looks increasingly like a real snipe. He is certainly being hunted for real.
It’s his “crimes” which appear to be nonexistent.
And that is not a harmless diversion.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended.

What follows is not a defense, per se, of the Orange One, his person or his policies. It’s an expression of disgust with what appears to be a kind of slow-motion putsch to remove Trump from office by whatever means necessary, by those who do not like him personally and disapprove of his politics and cannot abide that he was duly elected.
It must not be allowed to stand!
There is ominous-sounding by very hazy talk of “collusion” with “the Russians.” But what is meant by this, exactly?
And what has been proved?
It’s been said that “Russians” – which Russians is not altogether clear – confected anti-Hillary “content” (as anything online is called) during the election and placed this content – using fake identities – on social media sites such as the data-mining operation, Facebook.
Let’s assume for discussion’s sake that this is true.
So?
Unless Mueller can prove that Trump (or someone acting on his behalf, with Trump’s knowledge) authorized/paid foreign nationals to act on Trump’s behalf, where is the crime?
Maybe “the Russians” like Trump.
So what if they do?
They are free to like him, last time I checked. And even to post “content” online in support of him, too. Regardless, it is not a crime chargeable to Trump if they do so – unless it can be proved they did so because Trump or his proxies paid/urged them to do so.
Mueller has so far been unable to come up with any proof of such “collusion” with “the Russians.” The Snipe hunt has been going on for a year-and-a-half.
Where’s the beef?
Apparently, there isn’t any. Not even a really small patty. Just buns and mayo – and maybe not even that.
And so, instead, he deploys the equivalent of “officer safety” – the catch-all used to justify summary execution in the street: The charge – not yet formally, but seems to be clearly coming – of “obstruction.” That is to say, of not cooperating with sufficient obsequious enthusiasm in his own persecution. If Trump refuses, for instance, to endure being questioned by this Mueller character, that becomes the crime.
Even if Mueller can’t prove a got-damned thing as regards the original crime he was supposedly investigating. Obstruction becomes the ersatz crime. The sentence – and jail – are however very real and very much the same.
This is what they did to Martha Stewart. It annoyed the Feds that they could not get her on the charges asserted. So they got her on “obstruction.”
Point being, they were determined to get her.
As it increasingly appears to be the case with regard to Trump.
One greasy assertion after the next, but no crime proved or even evidence of criminality adduced.
This is playing with fire.
The man was duly elected. Ballot boxes were not “hacked.” No one is even claiming this. The election results are what they are, like them or not.
Mueller does not like them.
Hillary’s supporters do not like them. Rather than accept them, they are determined to negate them.
To remove from office a president whom they personally do not like and whose politics they disagree with, using any pretext and all the power at their disposal.
This will not end well, if it does not end soon.
One advantage of removing Trump from office and starting a civil war of some sort is that it might keep our government from bothering other countries since they will have their hands full in America.
Idiotic.
Half the world will jump in on any civil war that starts in America with the result of the United States no longer being a single sovereign nation.
What side do you think those 30 or so million Mexicans and other south of the border “migrants” along with all the Muslims are going to be on?
These shitheads are playing catch with a thin glass ball filled with plutonium.
Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria, Minister of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union – 25 November 1938 – 29 December 1945, First Secretary of the Communist Party, longest- most influential of Stalin’s secret police chiefs, famously said, “You bring me the man, and I’ll find you the crime.” Mueller et al adopted his motto. They have successfully used similar tactics previously during their infamous careers. Trump supporter or not, this should frighten everyone.
Oh for gods sake. Do at least look this shit up!
In the Boy Scouts, the Snipe is not sought for real – I remember being told by my brothers long before anyone tried to recruit me for the hunt, and refused to go citing a bruised leg. The rogues’ victim was eventually found, though, and he was sent on the hunt – armed with a flashlight (it was at night), a canvas sack and a forked stick (he was told to pin the bird to the ground with the forked stick, toss the sack over the bird and tie it shut with a piece of wire).
I have never heard of anyone who actually CAUGHT a snipe, since none were known to nest in the areas we camped.
There was a time that this sort of thing would have really pissed me off. I suppose it still angers me, in a way, that they are subverting the American people like this, but I think its nothing but political theater now. Theres really no reason to go after Trump from a deep state perspective. He foreign policy agenda is continuing unabated. Those people don’t care about any kind of scandal or nonsense as long as the neocon plan is carried out. Although they apparently must do what they are told on foreign policy, presidents are allowed to dabble lightly in domestic policy, which Trump recently did by banning bump stocks and moving gun control forward, another deep state agenda item. I also don’t much care what happens with trump. Fuck him. He betrayed us, so I really don’t care if he gets impeached. He may not deserve it for russia nonsense, but he does for being a useless liar.
Conservatives knew all Big US Corporations, Congress and the MIC “Mafia” was part of the ZOG Crime Syndicate but as of Friday the 13th, we now know Trump is a NeoCon Warmonger. The gas attack (probably another False Flag backed by US, Israel, ISIS etc) was not a threat to our National Security, not a Casus Belli; it served the interest of the Zionist, not Assad. The Russians are now justified in counter-attacking our bases, shooting our planes down and sinking our ships attacking their territories. The US is a Horrible House of Mirrors. I now trust the Militias more than any other part of America including the Church. At the March FOR THE 2ND AMEND today, a dozen wanna be politicians came to Tallahassee and spoke but not one damned ELECTED POS showed up. May God wither my right arm off if I ever vote for a camouflaged RINO when a 3rd Party Conservative is also on my ballot. Throw the filthy SOBs out!
No matter who you vote for the government still gets in.
