U.S. President Donald Trump Initially Refused to Acknowledge Manufactured Reality

By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com

 Why should Trump give any credence to the intelligence agencies who first tried to prevent, and later subvert, his presidency?

 

You may not be able to alter reality, but you can alter your attitude towards it, and this, paradoxically, alters reality. Try it and see.

– Margaret Atwood

 

The above quote, attributed to the author of “The Handmaid’s Tale”, is seemingly representative of the elite establishment today in their dystopian zeal to erase the presidency of Donald Trump.  How? By means of manufacturing an Attitudinal New Reality complete with Orwellian-style and Twilight Zone-type narratives reminiscent of the “Upside Down” , the other-worldly dimension of Netflix’s “Stranger Things”.

Of course, where we are today was likely inevitable from the start.

When businessman Donald Trump announced his candidacy for President of the United States, he was ridiculed by the political establishment, Hollywood, and the Corporate Mainstream Media.  When it appeared that he could actually win, the U.S. Intelligence Agencies, under President Obama, spied on Candidate Trump and set up members of his team for a grand scheme of entrapment arranged by former CIA Director, and perjurist, John Brennan; even as corrupt high-ranking officials in the FBI, like James Comey, arranged for Hillary Clinton’s crimes to be swept under the political rug.

Soon, we heard about wiretaps at Trump Tower and illegal unmasking by former National Security Director Susan Rice, even as Wikileaks released the password to Vault 7, also known as: “The Largest Ever Publication of Confidential CIA Documents” where a program entitled UMBRAGE was revealed. It was a formerly top-secret initiative whereby American intelligence agencies could mimic internet hacks from other countries, including Russia.

Unsurprisingly, the alleged mastermind behind “Vault 7 was recently indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice after being arrested for child porn on his computer, just as the Pakistani-Intelligence operative , Imran Awan, was let off the hook by an Obama appointed judge; because there was “no evidence” that congressional computer systems were compromised by Awan after a Democratic Party caucus server was replaced by a look-alike.

Paradoxically even WikiLeaks now says the murder of Democratic National Committee employee, Seth Rich, has been contradicted by Rod Rosenstein’s “July 2018 indictment of 12 Russian military intelligence agents”:

 

The [Seth Rich] murder spawned several right-wing conspiracy theories, including the false claim that Rich had been involved with the leaked DNC emails in 2016, contradicted by the July 2018 indictment of 12 Russian military intelligence agents for hacking the e-mail accounts and networks of Democratic Party officials and by the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusion the leaked DNC emails were part of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections. Law enforcement as well as fact-checking websites like PolitiFact.com, Snopes.com, and FactCheck.org stated that these theories were false and unfounded. The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post called the fabrications fake news and falsehoods.

 

Wow.  Someone moved fast there, didn’t they? WikiLeaks, PolitiFact.com, Snopes.com, and FactCheck.org all claim there is nothing to see in the Seth Rich murder. Indeed, it appears all of the t’s are crossed and the i’s are dotted and all of the bases are covered.

Put a bough on it.  It’s a wrap.

Except Jack Burkman, a Washington-based attorney and lobbyist who has worked with a private investigative team to find the killer of DNC staffer, Seth Rich, recently claimed to have found a “credible” witness who will identify the murderers of Seth Rich as “a current DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) agent” and a “current ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) agent”.

Moreover, we do know because of the GOP Groundhog Day 2018 Memo, that Hillary Clinton and the DNC financed the Russian Dossier on Trump and, according to former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, it was used to finally obtain the FISA warrant required to spy on Team Trump. The 90-day surveillance warrant on Carter Page was then renewed three times. It appears this was done in order to dig up political dirt and diminish Trump’s chances of winning the 2016 Presidential Election and, later, to undermine his presidency.  At the same time, the culprits specifically named in the memo (i.e. James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and Bruce Ohr) seemingly conspired to bury the multifarious crimes of Hillary Clinton.

A mole in Trump’s campaign was also later revealed as Steven Halper,a 73-year-old Oxford University professor and former U.S. government official who was paid over $1 million by the Obama administration including $411,575 that was made in two payments by September 26, 2016.  That date was three days after a Yahoo News article by Michael Isikoff on Trump aide, Carter Page, that the FBI later used as supporting evidence in the FISA warrant application for Page.

Then, after Trump won the election, the phony Russian conspiracy was utilized:

 

1.) By online social networks to censor the alternative media

 

2.) By President Obama to sign into law the “Countering Disinformation And Propaganda Act” on December 23, 2016

 

3.) By Obama’s National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, to feloniously unmask Trump administration officials

 

4.) By Democrats and the Media to pressure the new president’s National  Security Advisor to resign and the nation’s new Attorney General to recuse himself from the Russia investigation

 

5.) By deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein, to appoint his trusted, dear friend and collaborator, Robert Mueller, as Special Counsel to investigate President Trump’s non-existent collusion with Russia

 

6.) By Robert Mueller to transition the imaginary Russiagate Collusion into allegations of Obstruction of Justice against Trump for firing former FBI Director, James Comey

 

7.) By Robert Mueller to obtain minor process crimes on Paul Manafort (Trump’s former campaign chairman), Rick Gates (business associate of Manafort), George Papadopoulos (Trump’s former foreign policy advisor) and Michael Flynn (Trump’s former national security advisor)

 

But wait. There’s more.

In apparent  “violation of Justice Department policies and, perhaps, legal prohibitions on disclosure of grand jury secrets”, it appears that AP reporters and FBI agents colluded in a conspiracy against Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort; who, two days after America celebrated Independence Day 2018, remained in solitary confinement.

 

 

Now, because of the ongoing efforts of Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein, and his personally appointed Special Counsel, Robert Mueller, it seems President Trump’s attorney client privileges have been summarily rescinded; as former President Obama and his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton both whistle past the graveyard.

Of course, this is exactly what deep state operatives like Robert Mueller and Rod Rosenstein do; they investigate others for crimes they themselves have committed.  Rosenstein, who appointed Mueller as special council signed off on at least one of the misrepresented, and therefore illegal, FISA applications to spy on Donald Trump.  Moreover, it was Rosenstein who advised President Trump to fire Robert Mueller’s close friend and associate, James Comey; an act for which Mueller might still one day attempt to bring an obstruction of justice charge against Trump.

Mueller was also former president Obama’s director of the FBI when the Bill and Hillary Clinton Foundation received $145 million in Uranium One payments for selling twenty-percent of America’s uranium deposits to Russia.

Former CIA Officer and whistleblower Kevin Shipp said what Hillary Clinton did with her charity and Uranium One is the biggest espionage case involving government officials in the history of this country, and “that James Clapper, Director of National Intelligence, was protecting her and leaking things to the media and lying” and that John Brennan, Director of the CIA, protected “her by starting a false investigation (on Trump) and stirring things up with this (false/unverified) dossier”.

And, who led the investigation into the Uranium One sale? It was Rod Rosenstein, the same troll who hired his best friend, Robert Mueller, to investigate Donald Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia.

I don’t know about you, but I’m getting dizzy with all those spinning concentric circles of corruption.

But that’s not all.

 

– Last month, questions were raised as to why Imran Awan, who was under investigation for illegally accessing confidential information on Congressional computer systems, was answering phones at his law firm, which had connections to Bill and Hillary Clinton.

 

– During FBI agent Peter Strzok’s testimony to Congress, Jim Jordon (R-Ohio) got the former FBI agent to admit that the FBI received the Hillary Clinton Funded “Golden Shower” dossier on Trump from the FBI’s Bruce Orr (whose wife worked for Fusion GPS) – which was an astounding admission on internal collusion – before Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee interrupted the exchange.

 

– Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas said during the hearing with former FBI official, Peter Strzok, that the Inspector General discovered that nearly all of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails were sent to a foreign entity and that the FBI didn’t follow-up on that finding.

 

– It was  furthermore revealed that FBI agent Peter Strzok, himself, actually knew Clinton’s emails were in the hands of a foreign entity, that a whistleblower from the State Department tried delivering significant evidence in the Clinton email investigation which went nowhere, and that Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, was called four times from someone wanting to brief him about it and Horowitz never returned the call.

 

– In the aftermath of Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) claiming that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had “personally redacted information and threatened House Intelligence Committee staffers” and Republican Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert telling a TV morning show that he believed government personnel working for Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein were spying on his office, NBC News reported the following:

 

Powerful GOP Rep. Jim Jordan accused of turning blind eye to sexual abuse as Ohio State wrestling coach

“It’s sad for me to hear that he’s denying,” said one former wrestler. “I don’t know why he would, unless it’s a cover-up.”

 

  It was later reported that the law firm investigating the accusations against Jim Jordan were also involved in the FISA abuse scandal by assisting both the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee to fund the now discredited Steele Dossier.

 

  Days after the decades old sexual scandal slurs against Republican Congressman Jim Jordan were resurrected in the media, Jordan’s 21 year-old nephew died in a car crash in Illinois.

 

Coincidences?  Sure.

But now, the kicker:

In an effort to divert publicity away from the Capitol Hill testimony of disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok, and to subvert President Trump’s ongoing efforts toward peace with Russia, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced the Mueller Investigation’s single indictment of Twelve Russian intelligence officers for alleged election hacking under President Obama’s watch; even though, according to Rosenstein , “no American was a knowing participant” in the Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election and there was “no allegation in the indictment of any effect on the outcome of the election” .

 

 

Immediately following the indictments, Trump Tweeted these questions:

 

Where is the DNC Server, and why didn’t the FBI take possession of it? Deep State?

 

This, as the veteran GOP political operative, Roger Stone, said he was the ‘U.S. person’ mentioned in the Mueller indictment of the 12 Russians.

Then, as initial claims were made that Republicans were preparing to impeach Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein because they felt Rosenstein had “continually stonewalled their investigation into corruption at the FBI” – Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) suddenly ruled out the possibility of impeaching Rosenstein, saying there was “not enough support for his ouster”.

The evening before his historic meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, President Trump lamented the “hatred and dissension” in the U.S. and Tweeted that “no matter what he achieves in Helsinki, journalists will bash him for being not good enough or for kowtowing to Putin”.

Just prior to his meet with Russian President Putin, Donald Trump Tweeted:

 

Our relationship with Russia has NEVER been worse thanks to many years of U.S. foolishness and stupidity and now, the Rigged Witch Hunt!

 

After Trump’s meeting with Putin, the U.S. President called the Russian leader’s denial of election meddling ‘very powerful’ – as Putin said he wanted Trump to win the 2016 election, and laughed about the “golden showers” dossier.

In the press conference following their meeting, President Trump shocked the Deep State senseless by again raising legitimate (and still unanswered) questions regarding the Democratic National Committee’s missing server and Hillary Clinton’s missing emails; as Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed U.S. intelligence agents funneled $400 Million to the Hillary Clinton Campaign.

Just then, the real fun started:

 

  In the immediate aftermath of the Trump-Putin meeting, the Obama Administration’s CIA director, John Brennan, charged that President Trump’s post-summit press conference with Russia President Vladimir Putin was an act of treason; as disgraced former FBI Director, James Comey, called for a coup against the sitting president by means of patriots standing up and rejecting Trump’s behavior.

 

The New York Times offended many in the LGBT community by posting a homophobic cartoon of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin as gay lovers.

 

“Just days after special counsel Robert Mueller charged 12 Russian intelligence officials with directing a sprawling hacking effort aimed at swaying the 2016 election” and “just hours after President Donald Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin”, federal prosecutors charged an alleged Russian agent and “Gun Rights Activist”, named Maria Butina, for using the National Rifle Association (NRA) as a conduit to influence members of the Republican Party.

 

 In the wake of the Trump-Putin meeting, Russia’s elite and media celebrated the meeting as victory for Putin and “an end to the West’s attempt to isolate Russia”, as U.S. cable news network’s saw “the apocalypse”, Trump as a worse-case-scenario Russian mole, and Trump’s Helsinki performance as an act that will ‘Live in Infamy’ as much as “Pearl Harbor” or “Kristallnacht”.

 

 And for the cherry on top:  Former U.S. President Barack Obama, while on foreign soil, disparaged “strongman politics” and called today’s times “strange and uncertain”, before adding that “each day’s news cycle is bringing more head-spinning and disturbing headlines”.

 

 

Anyone not clueless or pathologically self-deceived realizes if Trump had acknowledged, during the Helsinki press conference with Putin, any meddling in accordance to the contrived findings of Robert Mueller’s investigation – the mainstream media would have insinuated what they have all along:  That Trump, colluded with Russia to win the election.

That is what they want people to believe.

Except Trump didn’t, initially, play according to their rules. Instead, he brought up the missing DNC server again to a collective gasp from a worldwide audience.

And that was why we witnessed the outright panic of Deep State tools and their drones in the Corporate Mainstream Media Bubble; all of whom have created an alternate reality.

Although Trump has now said he misspoke and acknowledges the Russian meddling, all of the other information is still available out there for anyone to see.  However, Orwellian Propaganda and a Perceived Phony Parallel Universe will likely make it impossible for a talented reality TV star to ever sway the people who voted for Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

Recently, it was reported that the Democrats now lead the GOP by 12 million registered voters.

Nevertheless, it appears the deep state is still making plays as they continue to run out the clock until the 2018 Midterm Elections.  Even then, Trump’s fate will remain in polling booths populated by mushy-minded, lukewarm Independent Voters rallying to overcome fake news and censorship in order to save America.

Not exactly fertile ground to plant flowers of hope, but of course anything can happen.

Regardless of who wins, however, the losers will not accept the results as the U.S. continues to unravel like Hillary Clinton’s neural synapses.

All the snowflakes can hear now is Trump’s treason with Putin. This is because, in a bullshit world, optics are everything.

As I consider the American Sheeple, and post this article about the manifestation of the Advertised New Reality, I remain haunted by a quote from Netflix’s “Stranger Things”, Season 2, Episode 5 – where a vodka-drinking, bearded, balding man wearing a robe and sporting circa 1960’s Austin Powers-type eyeglasses exclaimed:

 

You’re being naive, Nancy! Those people… They’re not wired like me and you, okay? They don’t spend their lives trying to get a look at what’s behind the curtain. They LIKE the curtain. It provides them stability, comfort, definition.

This… this would OPEN the curtain, and the curtain BEHIND that curtain, okay? So the minute someone with an ounce of authority calls bullshit, everyone will nod their heads and say, “See? Ha! I knew it! It was bullshit.”

That is if you even get their attention at all.

 

In the aftermath of FBI agent Peter Strzok’s appearance before Congress, the full Editorial Board of The Wall Street Journal said:

 

President Trump will have to declassify a host of documents if he wants Americans to learn the truth about what happened in 2016.

 

Will Trump do that? Would it make any difference if he did?  Stay tuned.

If this article is even slightly true it may explain the panic and hysteria. It claims that Putin has given Trump 160Tb of intercepted comms made by American officials, politicians, social media executives etc. Covers who has funded terrorists, groups like Antifa and basically all the real traitors to America and in the 5 Eyes, including my own country the U.K.

http://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news/u-s-national-news/2855-dear-god-they-caught-them-all-putin-gives-trump-160-terabytes-of-communication-intercepts-all-people-behind-fake-russia-collusion-false-flag-chemical-attacks-in-syria-sabotage-of-brexit-nefarious-clinton-activities-more

Even if it didn’t happen, the reaction in the media sure makes me think They believe it did or at least Trump now knows a lot more that he did before. No wonder they tried for so long to stop them meeting in private. And if I was Trumps interpreter, I’d want protection. There are already calls for him to appear in front of Congress to ‘spill the beans’.

IMO the Storm has just broken over Their heads.

Uncola is preaching to the choir. The reason it isn’t on the front page of every newspaper is that facts don’t matter to the liberal progressive socialists as only emotions are real and their fleeting emotional state, indifferent to the truth, is what counts. These are people who never grew beyond the toddler stage of development. They are captive to the whims of superficial events always seen as a crisis. It is a Chicken Little mentality, which perfectly describes the Democratic party today.

Rational grownups have seen Uncola’s observation and have seen it for a long time, but it is nice to see the time line as it brings it into perspective. Liberal Progressives with their myopic vision of the world miss it entirely. Basing important life decisions on fantasy usually doesn’t work out too well.

How a global movement to extinguish the human race won its latest convert: me

The idea that the planet would be better off if humans weren’t a part of it wasn’t new; Knight was just the first person to think to organize it into a movement. (In fact, he launched VHEMT in part because he was worried that someone would beat him to the punch.) But since then, membership has grown steadily. He doesn’t think that he or the movement is necessarily changing people’s minds about having children, but that it’s attracting people who realize they don’t want to have children. “It’s not so much that people are joining the movement, but rather, the movement is joining them,” Knight says.
Today, Knight still works as a substitute teacher in Portland’s public schools. Although some might think nourishing the minds of children runs counter to the philosophy of VHEMT, he disagrees. “Taking care of the humans that are already here is a major part of VHEMT. We can take better care of those who are here by not creating more,” Knight says. He argues that he’d only be contributing to population growth if he was encouraging students to procreate, which he avoids doing directly. “I don’t try to put my ideas into their heads. I try to help them form their own concepts,” Knight says. “But if some student says, ‘I’m never having kids,’ I can’t help but to say, ‘That’s not required, so congratulations,’ because they won’t hear it from anyone else.”

Any lawyer will tell you it takes a long time for justice to move for the conviction of a criminal. That’s just for an uncomplicated case. Look at multi-layered in-fractions of all those guilty of crimes. Obama appointed judges, government positions at all levels and that includes the military have got to be replaced. Those people have got to found and that alone is and will take time. We must encourage each other and ourselves to be patience because it will come to pass.

Those are good points, Sandra. Especially since it was an Obama appointed judge who just buried the crimes of the Awans.

As alluded to, and link-embedded in, the above piece: The judge presiding over the case was Tanya Chutka, who was appointed by Obama after years of contributing to him, was a partner at a very Clinton-friendly law firm, and her husband was also appointed by Obama to the D.C. Superior Court in 2011.

Easily the best summary I’ve read of the surreal world we live in in 2018. It’s rather like the 9-11 syndrome; people can’t believe their nation is capable of something like this, so they believe the lies; to accept reality is tantamount to accepting we are now the bad guys and that the country is evil. That simply cannot be as far as the masses are concerned. So, as my family and friends might put it if they voiced what they were thinking, “Shut up about it. I’m worried about you always dwelling on this, Bob. I don’t think you can tell the difference between reality and the illusory world you inhabit. I think maybe you need help.”

“President Trump will have to declassify a host of documents if he wants Americans to learn the truth about what happened in 2016.”

Trump already wrote and signed an EO to declassify. It simply awaits an official request (presumably from Congress) and a date to be penciled in before being released. A photograph was even taken of the EO that, again, presumably will match perfectly with the official wet ink copy once signed and released.

Stay tuned indeed.

Who is supposed to actually release previously classified documentation? The same IC actors who have generated these bogus “Russia hacked the election” claims. Congress is supposed to have oversight responsibility over the FBI. Congress subpoenas documents and the FBI slow walks them. When they’re eventually delivered everything is redacted. What’s Trump supposed to do – walk into the CIA, say “hey guys, show me where you keep Brennan’s notes about framing Carter Page. Also the Michael Hastings assassination order and Obama’s real passport data from 1981. Oh yeah, and where’s the copy machine?”

If such an event happens to Trump and he has not declassified and released the information that would incriminate them then it will never be declassified, the public will never know it, and we (as a nation) will never know what really happened any more than we know what really happened to Kennedy and who took part in it or why.

IMO, hidden facts and information can only be a matter of speculation since they cannot be confirmed.

They also murdered a Supreme Court justice so that they would have a 4-4 court that couldn’t overturn any lower court decisions about vote counting that might have arisen after a close vote in a swing state. The appellate courts that cover Pennsylvania and Michigan are dominated by democrat-appointed judges. They wanted to rule out another Bush v Gore situation. It turned out that Trump won too many electoral votes to overturn via a friendly court decision.

There isn’t any hard evidence. There never is with professional hits. But there’s tons of evidence of a cover up-like the president’s brain that goes missing, the chain of evidence ignored, the death limo rushed back to Detroit to be swept of evidence and the wounding of James Tague. But not enough for company men like you.

How about, for starters, refusal to hand over the subpoenaed server, phones, laptops, 30,000 plus e-mails? How about Cockbreath Comey allowing witnesses (Cheryl Mills etc.) to sit in on interrogations and act as defense counsel for Hillary Clinton? How about Mills and others being given immunity without testifying or providing any evidence pro or con? About the fuqueing FBI for Christ’s sake destroying the laptops used by Hitlary’s minions as well?
These are facts. The “allegations” will make your hair stand straight up as if this crap didn’t already.

Harrington, not to mention no simultaneous raids on all suspect homes, offices, rented rooms, with guns drawn and suspects on the floor, hands behind backs, as the FBI sweep the entire premises of each location of all suspects. All suspects questioned on the spot, no delay, simultaneously, to see whose stories don’t match and who will snitch on the others. Didn’t see any of that, which is what would have happened to your or me, and happens daily to normal Americans.

And I’ve read that the lower-level FBI agent kept the Clinton clan laptops and didn’t destroy them as instructed since it went against all reason. Hope that’s true.

According to Roy Potter, who has dealt with Huber, he is not a go-getter type and doesn’t have the experience or expertise to handle the investigations into FBI/FISA/Clinton, etc. I’m not well informed about this guy, but I do know he was initially an Obama nominee who was later nominated for U.S. attorney by Trump. So I’m not expecting much from him. If I were Trump, I’d set up my own team to do the investigation.

Doug, I always like reading what you post. Mainly because you always include numerous links to online proofs of what you state.
In my book, that good habit substantiates claims or statements by an author.
Very much like when an author lists references and sources in the back of a book.
It strengthens ones viewpoints and makes them more believable than simply stating an opinion,
making it an informed opinion; making it more fact-like, in its nature.
Couple that with your good talent at framing a topic, and delivering it in an easy to read format.
So, kudos once again.

BB, I can understand your sentiments. It’s why some of us turn to scripture, in the attempt to search for solace, inspiration, hope, or some semblance of faith that in the end, good may displace evil, no?

If any of the Q blurbs are to have merit, one statement was that “we are at war”
Can this be doubted?
It is an information war of words and narratives, in the battle to influence the minds of the masses.
It is heating up, and the tactics used are vicious displays of the evil that many men are capable of, acting in concert, with blinders on and an unshakable belief in their cause.

One can only hope that if we emerge out the other side, as many people in history do after brutal wars, that the death and devastation witnessed may eventually be triumphed over, with the dawn of a new beginning. A new start. A new path for healthy growth.
The current outlook does not look promising.

As I’ve grown older, I’d like nothing more than to retreat to a quiet place, where the sun shines, the people are friendly and kind, and all the simple needs of life can be easily afforded and enjoyed, in peace and relative privacy.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear that anywhere in the U.S. will qualify, if current trends continue.
Best of Luck, to all the wise audience members of the platform who seek the same.
Cheers.

T.C., they dismissed that within days, remember? All duplicate e-mails basically, they say. Which was proven in later testimony to be a lie. And due to their knowledge of the deep state, the NY Police supposedly kept their own copy of what was on that laptop and started making threats before the FBI would even look at it, only to dismiss it again. But based on early reporting, some of the content actually made NY police officers sick, literally, according to one officer who had kids. So what the hell was Weiner’s insurance policy? Must have been sicko stuff.

This is classic Sun Zhu Art of War maneuvering
With Trump flailing about like a wounded duck
And his enemies circling lips smacking and thinking
Now finally they can move in for kill and pounce

The best is Trump knows about all this
It is yet another troll being done by him
To flush out the Flakes and the Grahams
And their apparatchiks in the MSM

And while it seems to some that all is lost
Fear not for there are Patriots still about
One of them being William Binney
A man who has the evidence no doubt

While things now seem bleak and foreboding
There is an old saying its darkest before dawn
Trump promised a swamp needs draining
He knows where the skeletons have been all along

They are lurking in the Media of course.
Lest not forget the Clappers and the Brennans
Hopefully soon they will be in view full view
Hanging from a rope on the news at eleven

In the meantime the natives in jungles are getting restless…

Will have to put it on my bucket list to get to Iceland. That and my plan on going back to view the Stones at Callanish during Summer Solstice in year sometime soon. And yeah it could very well be that the rise now is connected with the insanity that is about. The world as we know it has lost respect for the Land, the People and most importantly for the Individual. Can it all be blamed on the Monotheistic Religions. Of course not! But some of it can. Why appeal to a Higher authority while at same time exhibiting such wanton regard those walking on this Earth.

So it is that my affinity with some key elements in Ásatrúarfélagið belief system is that it has as its bedrock a belief in individual responsibility which is, I think, an outgrowth from the fact that it is not a revealed religion.

I got that one off of my bucket list this summer–going to Iceland. I enjoyed it and spent about a week there to the southeast part of the island and due NW of Reykjavik, but the place is damn near overrun with tourist with the cheap flights in and out of there on WOW and Icelandair. The airport at KEF is a complete fucking joke, WAY beyond capacity. The airlines and hospitatlity industries there are parterned up with their government to drive up tourism and now it appears to be overrun worse than places like Yellowstone.

Hey, RiNS, have you ever read the Bernard Cornwell Viking series? It features the English-born Uhtred, who becomes a dispossessed nobleman after his father is killed in the shield wall, but he’s taken in by Danes and grows up a Dane and goes Viking but eventually becomes a warrior for Alfred the Great, who Uhtred can’t stand because he thinks the king is weak. He also can’t understand why Christians worship their weak “nailed” god. Uhtred always wears his hammer (necklace) and keeps his sword close by so he can have it in hand when he dies so he can enter Valhalla and drink and winch with the rest of his dead friends.

Yes, it’s fiction, but it is actually based on the records of the author’s ancestors. And it’s full of sex, and blood and guts, and battles. And Uhtred is always torn between his oath to Alfred and his love of the Danes. It’s a fun read.

It’s called the “Saxon Chronicles,” and the first book is “The Last Kingdom.” If you want something interesting to read that’s not too, too serious, but grabs your attention and keeps it, this is a great series.
Here’s a link on Amazon to the first book:

Maybe funk was the wrong word to use. I’m good in so many ways. Have for most part put the past in rear view. Look forward usually instead of behind. Probably why I am not that concerned about Trump’s fate. For he will always be the exclamation on the inflection point of this 4th turning. His wanton success or demise matters not in the Grand Scheme of things.

I haven’t read this book but everyone tells me that it is really good. I did meet the author one time in Pub in Mabou, Nova Scotia. He has since passed away…..

There is right now a blithe indifference, on my part, to the farce that is Donald Trump and the MIC. Most days I fill now with getting outside and into the Sun. In my defense I have been building steps to shore at the cottage. I might post a picture of my stairway to heaven. It is going to be quite a feat of engineering once done. The shore front drop is about 40 feet high and fairly steep.

Yep!

Not a carpenter but so far so good. Even my Sister who is very hard to please likes what has been done.

Whether Trump is really in Command or just another Knight on a Horse leading the charge is really anyone’s guess here in Summer of 2018. So I know all that sounds kinda corny but as with most things it too shall pass.

Ten years from now and after this turning has concluded, what Trump is or has done will be of No Great Mischief. The reason being that those in charge behind the lines will have already set the chess pieces in motion. The outcome of which predetermined.

And like most people I just want to get on with things. Do things concrete and lasting for those around me. If we all focused moar on that and spent less time fretting about missteps in Helsinki things about would be better off. And so I have taken a page from Scrabble’s book.

So it is that even I have to admit that he is the smartest guy I have never met. That is over and above the fact that he thinks the earth is flat and we never went to the Moon…

I jest.

One thing is for sure. We didn’t go.
The only question left is what does we mean.
And whether the answer to that really matters.
That and the Sun still comes up in Morning.

Thanks for the suggestions. I might just pick one up. I have never used Amazon. I am a relic I guess. I will however head to local book shop and see if they can track a copy down.

So Cheers!

Will end with this…

This Gohmert fellow did a great job yesterday wading thru the bullshit…

In the meantime I have steps to build. Might post moar on that later.

Please do post pics of your steps.

I am going to paint a couple of the 8 early american dining chairs I am working on. Got an entire dining set for $75 at an estate sale. The chairs are quite beat up after a family of six plus grandkids had used them but still sturdy. The tabletop is in very good shape but the base is also beat up. Very nice well made furniture but the chairs have the spindles and it’s a bit time consuming but very satisfying. Then I am going swimming.

The steps are actually anchored with rebar driven into ground. I used that cuz it was free! Not to worried about supporting posts as, believe it or not, the entire enterprise will have to be disassembled and hauled up to drier land this fall for storage. If I left it in place over winter it would be either swept away or crushed by the ice when winter sets in. There is an allegory in all that that pertains to the current fiasco that is the manufactured reality that is being force fed to us by MIC.

Thanks for the nice words! I am not too worried about the time spent doing this as most of it was spent working with my Son and Nephew.

I can always find time to build another set especially if at some point again I can teach the next generation that they too can do stuff like this for themselves…

I built this whole thing for about 500 bucks. If I had hired someone to do it it would cost that by some exponent. Things are affordable when you can do it yourself…

A guess only, Gayle.
Supporters: 25%
Haters: 35%
Don’t Care anymore: 40% but,
of these, I’d say 80% of the Don’t Cares actually think Trump is doing a mildly decent job, in the face of strong opposition / enemies.
Most of them are so wrapped up in trying to live life, and are sick of the info wars and headline / crisis du jour, they just don’t delve anymore into policical / social news or research.
-Trying to find fun things to experience, vs. the orchestrated drama that’s constantly bombarding us.

The other 20% of Don’t Cares I’d guess are Haters who just don’t bog down or get too active about it.
They, too, are just choosing to enjoy their life, without the drama overwhelming their plans.

The Supporters are aware of the truths, but not too vocal about it.
The Haters only see their version of events, and can’t STFU.

I believe you are right, Gayle, in that the military will play a role in how things shake out.
But, how does that jive with the MIC, and it’s cast of nefarious characters?

If that is the case, then the results are certainly specious. I actually appreciated the honesty of Robert Gore’s take on that thread. He said he didn’t vote because he didn’t “pretend to know”.

I had a “friend” vote both up and down on different systems for the same reason, but still wanting to participate.

What I would find most interesting though would be the following:

– The number of unique visitors on the thread

– The number of times the video was viewed

By my rough calculations as a seasoned surfer but amateur blogger, I would speculate normal participation (i.e. commenting, e-mailing, viewing) rates of any given post to be under 1% of the unique visitor count. If that post reflected higher than that, than it could indicate greater enthusiasm for the topic, multiple-voting, or both.

I almost e-mailed admin for those numbers, but later forgot, and it doesn’t matter now. The poll served my “processing purposes” regardless of its accuracy and it generated some fine commentary and discussion.

It is difficult to estimate at all because the media incessantly broadcast the views, antics, and commentary of the Left, who are noisier to begin with. If you just watch the mainstream for your truth, you would assume there are few conservatives around, and they are just deplorable fascists and Nazis. I have a difficult time figuring out the numerical dividing line, but enthusiastic aftendance at Trump’s rallies and his stabilizing approval rate indicate to me that things are right around 50/50.

Gayle, in the past, I always thought Trump was too arrogant to bother listening to. I can’t stand people with enormous egos. I didn’t even vote, and won’t until we have paper ballots that I can watch being counted because I don’t trust the current system. But I definitely felt we would be better off with Trump because Hillary is a crooked, evil *itch.
That said, the more I see of Trump in office, the more I like him. Being an arrogant ass in private life is one thing. Being an arrogant ass as president is a requirement. The man has balls. And you have to have enormous self confidence in that job. I support him 95 percent so far. (Syria bombings were a huge drawback, as was “take the guns and worry about the law later.”) I’m hoping Putin really did give Trump 160 terabytes of data on all the evil bad actors, which included some in the military, by the way. Putin and Trump – dream team.

After JFK, I don’t trust the Secret Service, who backed off on their security duties that day by not riding on the car with the president. If ever around Trump and you see that, draw gun and fire.

Thanks to all of your work on this article. Sadly, Trump seems to have capitulated to the D.State, agreeing with them that there was Russian meddling, only two days after stating the opposite. Something very strange is going on. Could it have anything to do with Russia’s sale of US securities yesterday? It could be one of many things-but it all seems so dark and sinister. Did they threaten Trump, or did he merely back down to the media?

He backed down because too many establishment Republicans proved unwilling to admit that the intelligence community is completely corrupt. The only good news is that Trump knows they’re totally full of shit, even though he’s decided to pretend they’re not. He understands the CIA Umbrage capability. He’s riding a fucking tiger, that’s for sure.

@ FM,

Unless I’m mistaken, the sale of the securities were from a while ago at the dawn of the trade wars? Or, in other words, prior to Trump’s meet with Putin.

I tend to think Trump plays the politician when necessary; kind of like signing that EO to put kids back with their families at the border. He lets the other side vent and look foolish and then concedes to their views thus taking the steam out of the opposition.

Methinks he does this primarily to play to the independent voters.

Only time will tell how that works out for him.

EDIT: And what Iska said above

Found it. Sanctions, I meant, not trade wars:

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-07-17/russia-liquidates-its-us-treasury-holdings

….it was Vladimir Putin who liquidated a whopping half of Russia’s Treasury holdings, which declined by $47.4BN to just $48.7BN – the lowest since 2008 – from $96BN in March.

But wait, it gets better, because as Trump continued to jawbone about more sanctions targeting Russia, Putin did not stop and in May he continued what was an outright liquidation of Russia’s TSY holdings, which plunged by another $40BN, or 82%, from $48.7BN to just $9BN in May. Keep in mind this was over $100BN at the start of the year.

It appears that When Putin warned he would diversify Russia’s state reserves -out of Treasurys – he was serious.

That’s what I was thinking, as well.

I don’t pay much attention to Oathkeepers and I’m never really sure what to think of them but this is from their website. It was brought to my attention when he was interviewed on Hagmann and Hagmann the a couple days ago. Bracken was supposed to be on with him which is why I listened but Bracken unable to make it and had to cancel at the last minute.

“The NEA just held their national convention in Minneapolis, Minnesota, June 30-July 5, 2018, and adopted the following resolution:

New I. White Supremacy Culture

14 The National Education Association believes that, in order to achieve racial and social justice, educators must

15 acknowledge the existence of White supremacy culture as a primary root cause of institutional racism, structural

16 racism, and White privilege. Additionally, the Association believes that the norms, standards, and organizational

17 structures manifested in White supremacy culture perpetually exploit and oppress people of color and serve as

18 detriments to racial justice. Further, the invisible racial benefits of White privilege, which are automatically

19 conferred irrespective of wealth, gender, and other factors, severely limit opportunities for people of color and

20 impede full achievement of racial and social justice. Therefore, the Association will actively advocate for social

21 and educational strategies fostering the eradication of institutional racism and White privilege perpetuated by

22 White supremacy culture. (2018)”

So they are going to further politicize the students. David Hogg spoke at the convention. I hope it backfires on them.

I don’t understand why more people aren’t discussing the option of secession. That is preferable to a civil war (assuming of course that a civil war doesn’t result from that secession, as happened last time). If the normals split off from the leftists, we could get sanity in our own (new) country and let the leftists commit their own cultural and economic suicide without affecting us much. If we don’t secede, they are probably going to end up committing cultural and economic suicide of the entire country, which will obviously take us down with them.

Successions is exactly why the American War Between the States happened. If you read Lincoln, you will see the war started to keep the country together. No other reason, regardless of what either side said. The North provoked the war for that reason. After that, states’ rights disappeared and states were put in their place, “You’re not allowed to leave the union,” though all founders believed the states, which were individual countries in their own right, were in a voluntary union. Instead of the united states of America we became the United States of America. Big difference.

We went from These United States, plural, to The United States, singular. We went from a confederation of small states, banded together for mutual protection, under the Articles of Confederation to one larger country. Substituting the Constitution for the Articles of Confederation was the first step in a process; Lincoln’s homicidal was was one of the last steps. Degradation, plundering, and demonization of the South and its culture after the war was another step in the process. The process is still ongoing.

Lincoln was not an independent entity. He was put in place by a group of people whose future access to greater wealth and power was dependent on the United States remaining intact and growing into a great empire. That wealth and power that cabal gained was at least 2 orders of magnitude greater than what any members of our species had previously held. But, as far as we know, all of them eventually die, and what do they have then?

The same process is underway in Europe. The EU was sold as a confederation of independent states, but it is fast moving toward being one country, and is already under one set of rules. Once a central European army has been created, the bureaucrats will have the tool to crush any member state who tried to leave.

Uncola,

Excellent summary of the criminal shenanigans going on at the Federal level.

You wrote,
“Mueller was also former president Obama’s director of the FBI when the Bill and Hillary Clinton Foundation received $145 million in Uranium One payments for selling twenty-percent of America’s uranium deposits to Russia.”

Did you ALL see this headline from Zerohedge?
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-07-18/us-launches-national-security-probe-uranium-imports

An excerpt from the link:

As Bloomberg and others previewed yesterday, on Wednesday morning the Trump administration announced it has launched a probe whether uranium imports threaten national security, a move which may result in tariffs on the metal.

According to the Commerce Department, the probe will determine “whether the present quantity and circumstances of uranium ore and product imports into the U.S. threaten to impair the national security.” The probe will cover the entire uranium sector, from the mining industry to enrichment, defense and industrial consumption.

In a letter to Defense Secretary James Mattis, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said the Department of Defense will be consulted about national defense requirements for uranium, Bloomberg reported.

The probe was initiated when US uranium producers Energy Fuels Inc. and Ur-Energy Inc. filed a petition in January asking the Commerce Department to investigate the matter under Section 232 of the 1962 Trade Expansion Act; this is the same provision the president used to slap tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.

U.S. industry participants want the government to shield them from competition from state-owned companies in countries including Russia and Kazakhstan. The problem is that any stumbling blocks to uranium imports could have a drastic impact on various downstream industries: U.S. production of uranium necessary for military and electric power has dropped to just 5% of domestic consumption, from 49 percent, said Ross.

A uranium investigation would add to further trade tensions which the IMF, and Wall Street, believe represent the biggest “tail risk” risk to the global economy. And, as Bloomberg adds, “imposing uranium duties would deal another blow to nuclear power plants already struggling with low electricity prices and flat demand.”

The download speed was far too fast, it could have only been directly downloaded on site to something like a thumb drive. It was an inside job, which is why the Seth Rich suspiciouns won’t go away.

It is obvious that they refused him a membership card, even though he could afford the club dues, so he said :”fuck them”

Imagine how you would behave, if you were elected president, and they still pissed on your shoulder and called it rain, you would behave exactly like Trump is behaving.

Every chance he gets to turn these chumps against each other, and then let the chips fall, is is plan. He is a master manipulator, and the elite are furrowing there collective brows, unable to counter to his jabs, as most of the elite remain hidden from view.

This is the sweetest form of irony for us little people, to what a whole power structure unravel, as they scurry from the light.

Yes, trump’s main problem all along, like Iksa said, was that most of his own party are worse enemies than the Demoncrats. It’s a uniparty, all else is subterfuge and deception. Trump is really an Independant, something like Ross Perot on steroids.

Without any support from his own “party” at the onset, I don’t think Trump can pull this thing off. Not surprised if he gets the hell out of there in 2 years. He’s accomplished much already, the greatest of which is shining light on these Swamp Critters and their functions. Draining the Swamp, I think is impossible without a LOT more help from the inside. All we can do is pray for him, and hope for the best. He may be looking for a way out of this mess as we speak.

What do you all think he will do in 2 years…stay or go? I guess the only hope IS what “Q” is preaching…some kind of a mass purging of his enemies…don’t know what to expect from that one.

Hey everyone, this is slightly off-topic, but I have no idea where else to deposit it.
Recently, someone else here (My mind says Southern Sage, but I’ve been deranged in the past ) brought up the Spanish Civil War. I wish SS had gone more into detail about the history of the Civil War.
PLEASE NOTE- Our so-called “Civil War” pales in comparison. Don’t ever call the War of Northern Aggression a civil war again. When you read about the one town where the Communists threw 800 preachers, conservatives, and middle class people down a well one at a time and cheered, that’s a Civil War. These are 2 very different animals!

I found a good book about it, The Spanish Civil War, by Hugh Thomas. He’s fairly objective, too, unlike most of the authors, who seem to be straight-up Communist, like Paul Preston. Thomas was early enough to interview many of the actual participants in the war-direct sources are awesome sources. Thomas is also writing in 1961, fairly early compared to the Johnny Come Lately Marxists who write about the war now, and early enough to predate most of the liberal bullshit that bloomed after 1964.

So I’m only about 1/3rd through the book, but it is painfully obvious as I go how close that period is to our own today. Really. They suffered from a massive and growing chasm between left and right. The Left was ascendant then, too, and demonized the right. They also used violence freely against the right, including assassinating their politicians, which led to the right wing uprising. And they weaponized government against the right.

I won’t burden you further with the details, but SS was right and you need to start reading up on this period. I think if you can stand reading history books, you should get this particular one. It seems to treat both sides fairly. It was explosive enough in 1961 Franco’s Spain banned it, but it doesn’t put the Communists in a good light, either.
