Having watched some of the questions to former Special Counsel Robert Mueller by congress on Wednesday July 24, 2019, as well as Mueller’s dithering deflections – it was obvious the entire affair was another distraction; more of the same ongoing circus show.
Of course, no minds were changed. Those on the Left still consider Trump to be a comprised capitalist pig guarding his tax returns with all the fervor of any good Manchurian Candidate and those on the Right still viewing Mueller as a tyrannical tool of the Deep State.
After Mueller’s live testimony, this blogger listened to roughly thirty Americans calling into CNBC with their comments. Of those callers, only three were in support of Trump and with the rest of them effusively expressing gratitude to Mueller for his service in revealing Trump’s threat to American Democracy.
Many conservatives, including talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh and some his callers, agreed that Mueller didn’t seem familiar with the contents of his report, let alone the Steele Dossier, Fusion GPS, and other points-of-fact brought up by the Republicans as they were grilling the former special counsel. To be sure, Limbaugh commented on Mueller’s less-than-stellar demeanor and lack of preparedness – even going so far as to say Mueller deserved absolutely zero sympathies for his contributory efforts in the never-ending farce that the former special counsel has perpetrated on the American people.
But, at the same time, L-Rushbo painted a picture of Mueller simply being (for lack of better terminology) parochial in his search for justice; as if Mueller was simply a Never-Trumper like Mittens Romney or John Kasich.
In fact, at the close of the Mueller hearing, even House Republican Devin Nunes complimented Mueller, thanked him for his service, and refused to scorch the doddering old fool in the end.
Unfortunately, a majority of Americans today, including many conservatives, have swallowed hook, line, and sinker one or more of the following five (5) faulty premises of Russiagate:
1.) The Russians actually hacked the 2016 elections
The Mueller Report, as well as most of the Democrats who questioned Robert Mueller on July 24, 2019 claimed Russia interfered in the 2016 Presidential Election in a “sweeping and systematic fashion”.
This is not true. It did not happen; at least not sweepingly or systematically.
What did happen one year ago, on July 13, 2018, was Mueller’s boss at the time, 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. Of course, this was done in an effort to divert publicity away from the July 12, 2018 Capitol Hill testimony of disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok and to subvert President Trump’s impending Russian summit on July 16, 2018.
Even so, in his very conveniently-timed press conference, Rosenstein acknowledged that “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”.
In other words, much ado about nothing, in the same way the Mueller Report offered zero forensic evidence other than the reliance of the two (2) now discredited Democratic National Committee (DNC) contractors: CrowdStrike and “Russian dossier compiler Christopher Steele”.
Furthermore, other so-called “established” and “confirmed” claims in Mueller’s bogus report cited the Russian company, Concord Management, as “sowing discord” throughout U.S. social media prior to the 2016 Presidential Election – and this was shot down by U.S. District Judge Dabney L. Friedrich’s May 28, 2019 ruling which concluded that Mueller had “no evidence”.
Did you get that? No evidence.
Squat. Zip. Nada. Zilch.
2.) Wikileaks was affiliated with Russia
Another key premise of Democrats, the U.S. Corporate Media, and The Mueller Report, is that Russian Intelligence hacked into the DNC servers and provided stolen e-mails to WikiLeaks through (according to the Mueller Report) “fictitious online personas including DCLeaks” and Guccifer 2.0”.
Again, this did not happen because reporting as far back as 2017 indicated that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange possessed the DNC e-mails before DCLeaks and Guccifer 2.0 were created, yet Assange used these entities to obfuscate his true source.
Veteran intelligence whistleblowers also reported in 2017 on how the Democratic National Committee (DNC) servers were not hacked by Guccifer 2.0 and released to WikiLeaks but, instead, the data actually originated via an external storage device.
All of this means the “fictitious online personas” allegedly linked to Russian intelligence, according to the Mueller Report, were created after-the-fact in order to conceal the true source of the DNC leaks.
Additionally, when WikiLeaks released the password to Vault 7, also known as: “The Largest Publication of Confidential CIA Documents Ever”, a program entitled UMBRAGE was revealed. This was a formerly top-secret initiative whereby American intelligence agencies could mimic internet hacks from other countries, including Russia.
Yet, none of that information was revealed in Robert Mueller’s report, was it? Why? Probably, for the same reason Team Mueller refused to interview Julian Assange. Because, had Mueller done so, he might have been asked later by congress why WikiLeaks offered a $20,000 reward for information in the case involving Seth Rich. Rich was the former voter expansion data director for the DNC who was murdered in Washington DC on July 10, 2016.
But Team Mueller didn’t care about any of that and, instead, disseminated false conclusions regarding Russian election meddling.
Are you surprised?
3.) Robert Mueller is an honorable guy
Even in light of Robert Mueller’s doddering downfall on Congressional Hill, there are those on both sides of the political aisle who consider him, still, as an ethical and honorable man.
He is neither.
Former Texas State Court judge, and now sitting Congressman, Louis Buller Gohmert Jr (R-Texas), has unmasked Mueller’s “long and sordid history of illicitly targeting innocent people that is a stain upon the legacy of American jurisprudence”, citing 18 specific examples, including:
– Collusion with Boston mobster Whitey Bulger in criminality and framing innocent men for murder that resulted eventually in the release of innocent parties and 100 million dollars in compensation for DOJ Boston Office misconduct.
– The FBI with Mueller as director harassed and hounded Congressman Curt Weldon in revenge for criticizing FBI failures related to 9-11.
– Dishonest prosecutions of Senator Ted Stevens.
– Prosecutorial abuses in the anthrax murder investigations post 9-11, producing one suicide and one award of 6.8 million dollars to the other innocent target.
– Mueller’s unethical acceptance of the special prosecutor position when he was conflicted by his longtime personal and professional relationship with James Comey.
– Mueller hired extremely partisan, biased, and conflicted attorneys for his special counsel team.
– Mueller’s investigation ignored that FISA applications evidence presented to justify warrants to surveil Trump associates were not verified and thus a fraud on the court and illegal.
As was adequately revealed by the Republicans who grilled Robert Mueller during his congressional hearing, the entire special counsel investigation (and it’s ensuing report) amounted to little more than political opposition research on behalf of the Democratic Party; and a concerted effort to gaslight the American public via it’s bizarre, and even Orwellian, deceptions.
Congressman Tom McClintock (R-California) asked Mueller why he couldn’t provide connecting evidence of Russian trolls to the Russian government. Chris Stewart (R-Utah) questioned Mueller on why his team of angry Democrats always leaked information detrimental to Trump but never a single leak of anything placing Trump in a positive light. And other Republicans wondered why Hillary Clinton’s “Dirty Dossier” received such extra-special “kid-glove” treatment by Team Mueller.
Indeed, we now know the following: In spite of the Mueller probe breaking multiple prosecutorial rules that ensured justice, they were “outfoxed” by Trump’s legal team beginning as far back as June, 2018 – when none other than William Barr sent a 19-page memorandum to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein checkmating Mueller’s apparent “interpretation of a single subsection of a single obstruction-of-justice statute:18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2)“. It was Barr’s contention that Trump could not have violated that particular statute because “he [Trump] was not accused of engaging in any wrongful act of evidence impairment”.
In his memo to Rosenstein, Barr also claimed Mueller was giving the statute a “new unbounded interpretation” that “would have potentially disastrous implications” for the Executive Branch of government.
Oh, that Robert Mueller. What a guy. He folded on collusion and conspiracy before upping the stakes on obstruction via volume two of his report which presented like a legal Chinese finger-trap or Gordian Knot. Mueller’s “not exonerating” Trump inverted “innocent until proven guilty” into “guilty until proven innocent” and demonstrated the special counsel investigation’s very palpable political prejudice – which was further proven by the specific misrepresentations and selective editing in the final Mueller Report.
Even, now, if it appears Robert Mueller was a moderately senile figurehead for Andrew Weissmann & Company’s attempted takedown of a sitting president, certainly, history will not be kind to the former special counsel who lent his name to the farce. Undeniably, the former special counsel’s recent fiasco before congress was just the beginning of his once illustrious and ill-deserved reputation becoming a national joke.
4.) The Democrats actually care about Democracy
The Democratic Party does not have a political platform beyond Santa Clausian economic initiatives, genitalia, skin color, and disproven conspiracy theories rooted in fraudulent Russiaphobia. They do not care to secure American elections. On the contrary. Why else would they be seeking to turn Texas into a blue state via ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION? Right?
In truth, the Socialist Party cares only about power; even (as the Mueller hearing demonstrated) to the point of weaponizing their own hypocrisy.
All throughout The Robert Mueller Show on Wednesday, the former special counsel’s bias and the hypocrisy of the Democrats and sycophants in the media, could not have been more obvious. Mueller’s appearance was meant to provide amplification on behalf of Trump’s political opponents for impeachment, more hearings, and additional investigations.
Although Mueller received top billing, the Dems and their enablers in the media were always going to be the stars. Mueller was called to testify in order to expand the audience in order to resurrect the dying efforts of Trump’s enemies.
And it all backfired yugely.
Even so, during his testimony, Mueller “included some stark warnings” of how the Russians were already attempting to interfere in the 2020 elections. This allowed the Democrats to continue their Chicken Little cries of how the “sky is falling” while citing Trump’s lackadaisicalness as proof of the president’s political puppetry under Putin.
Yet, if the Democrats were concerned in the least over alleged Russian election hacking, then why are they not interviewing those who allowed it to happen under the Obama Administration’s watch? They won’t because they don’t care about democracy or to secure America’s elections. Instead, they desire to undermine the U.S. electoral process.
The Democrats currently serving in congress are liars who seek America’s demise. Sadly, that is the truth.
5.) Intelligence Agencies under the Obama Administration were working to ensure secure elections
Anyone even remotely paying attention over the past few years knows that Hillary Clinton and the DNC financed the Russian Dossier on Trump. According to former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, the dossier was then used to obtain the FISA warrant required to spy on Team Trump. A 90-day surveillance warrant on Carter Page was then renewed three times and this was done in order to dig up political dirt and diminish Trump’s chances of winning the 2016 Presidential Election. Then, later, the FISA warrants were illegally issued to undermine Trump’s presidency.
At the same time, the now well-known culprits in the Obama Administration (i.e. James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and Bruce Ohr) were actively concealing the multifarious crimes of Hillary Clinton.
A mole in Trump’s campaign was also later revealed as Stefan 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 was published by Michael Isikoff on Trump aide, Carter Page; which the FBI later illicitly used as supporting evidence in the FISA warrant application for Page.
Then, after Trump won the election, the phony Russian conspiracy was utilized:
– By online social networks to censor the alternative media
– By President Obama to sign into law the “Countering Disinformation And Propaganda Act”
– By Obama’s National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, to feloniously unmask Trump administration officials
– 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
– 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
– By Robert Mueller to transition the imaginary Russiagate Collusion into illusions of Obstruction of Justice against Trump
– 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) and others
– By AP reporters and FBI agents to collude in a conspiracy against Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort
– By Team Mueller to falsely accuse Russia of meddling in order to undermine the trust of Americans in their electoral process
– In order to summarily rescind a sitting president’s attorney-client privilege; as well as his presumption of innocence through the special counsel’s “lack of exoneration”.
– To allow the Democratic candidates in the 2018 Midterm Elections to leverage the issue of election hacking and illegitimately win key senate races as well as control of the U.S. House
All this from America’s “heroes” who swore an oath to defend America’s constitution.
Thanks for nothing, you treasonous tribe of traitors.
Conclusion
As long as even some of the premises of those who oppose the U.S. Constitution are swallowed hook, line, and sinker by a significant percentage of the U.S. body politic – then these may, in the end, present as evidence in the historical record delineating the downfall of our once-great republic.
One would like to believe this sordid chapter of corruption will result in the ultimate draining of the American swamp. The nation now awaits reports from Inspector General Michael Horwitz on FISA Abuse and corruption in the Department of Justice; U.S. Attorney John Huber on Clinton Foundation illegalities; and U.S. Attorney John Durham on the malevolent origins of Russiagate.
Godspeed gentlemen. Because a very significant percentage of the American public is growing more impatient by the day. Time is of the essence. Tick tock.
The Democratic Impeachment dream
In aftermath of Mueller testimony.
Nope.
That’s the economy, before they roll out Female Genitalia for President in 2020.
Do you realize that Real ID is 3 weeks after the 2020 election?
You can’t fly domestically without it and enforcement will be on the next useless FIGUREHEAD President’s watch.
America is going on lock down by hook or by crook, and I say Real ID madness could tip the scales as much as anything.
Heil Warren!
46 states drivers licenses are already compliant with the Real ID standards and the other four states have valid extensions. You CAN fly domestically using your drivers license as an ID. Real ID actually started January of 2018 according to DHS web FAQ’s…
“Starting January 22, 2018, passengers who have driver’s licenses issued by a state that is not yet compliant with REAL ID and that has not received an extension will need to show an alternative form of acceptable identification for domestic air travel. Please see TSA’s website for a list of acceptable forms of identification. Passengers who have licenses issued by a state that is compliant or that has an extension to become compliant with REAL ID requirements may continue to use their licenses as usual. For a list of states already in compliance or with an extension visit DHS’s REAL ID webpage. DHS continually updates this list as more states come into compliance or obtain extensions.
Starting October 1, 2020, every state and territory resident will need to present a REAL ID compliant license/ID, or another acceptable form of identification, for accessing Federal facilities, entering nuclear power plants, and boarding commercial aircraft. This is what we call “card-based” enforcement. The card, itself, must be REAL ID compliant unless the resident is using an alternative acceptable document such as a passport. ”
Note that Real ID is a “standard” but NOT a national ID. And it does NOT create a national database… Chip
Of course, Illegal loving Illinois is one of the four laggards.
Real ID is a “standard” but NOT a national ID. And it does NOT create a national database
Kind of like the way that government said social security numbers would never be used for identification. When we get our Real IDs they digitally scan our corresponding documentation including our SS cards and birth certificates. Where does that information go if not into a database? Beginning in October 2020, or 1 month before a socialist beats Trump, we won’t be able to fly or even enter a government building without our Real ID. Think about that. Now think what’s next. Incrementalism is the nooses placed over our necks. With our permission too.
One of the problems with systemic corruption of the style that permeates American politics is that it specifically excludes good people. Good people- and by this I mean people who are governed by conscience to follow a set of principles or beliefs without being forced to by outside forces- generally follow a path that leads them closer to the truth, i.e. efficacious behaviors that allow them to make their way through the world without the kind of friction caused by following false or perverted guidelines. Those types of people are resistant to the kinds of lures and temptations that seem to hover about the dishonest like a cloud of flies on a carcass. Given the option of taking a bribe or being entrapped in a honeypot, they steer clear of these kinds of situations and focus on other pursuits. This leaves a particular type of person to fill the ranks of the corrupt organization, those like Strozk, Mueller, Comey, Lynch, et al. They are not governed by the laws of physics or reality since everything they do is rooted in gains based on personal gains rather than what is right. People like that can neither be trusted, nor can the products of their efforts be considered valid. When put on the stand- as in Mueller’s case the other day- their chimera goes up in flames with even the slightest prodding. They are left to either dissemble as they go making them look dishonest, or to revert to the “I don’t know nothin’, I didn’t see nothin’, I didn’t hear nothin'” style of ignorance that underlines their gross incompetence.
Anyone with the sense that God gave a five year old could see that Mueller was a liar and a criminal caught in a web of his own making. Nothing he said sounded even marginally truthful, rather he was constantly evasive, looking to protect himself rather than to clarify any questions the Congressmen asked, even though most of them were lobbing softballs in order to protect their own hides.
The system cannot fix itself. It is irretrievably broken and only a complete reset will ever deliver a government ‘of the people, by the people and for the people’ if that was ever the goal. We are all prisoners in a Potemkin gulag, most of it of our own making. We edit what we say, what we even think inside our mind in order to remain under cover. We follow the never ending clown show that is the MSM/FedGov/Corp, Inc. Amerikwa that attempts to distract, befuddle, confuse and enrage us day after day as a means of hiding their own criminality. They depend upon our compliance to their falsehoods and at every step along the way they try to convince the proles that up is down and dark is light. Mueller is anything but competent, he’s just another capo in a criminal syndicate that will do whatever allow him to dodge the bullets of accountability and nothing he says has even the most remote ring of truth to it. How any human being could sit there and compliment him on his service to country is beyond my ability to comprehend. His naked display of venality, stupidity, ignorance, and arrogance was there for all to see and yet most of the so-called elected representatives couldn’t even manage to call him out on it.
We have only ourselves, our actions and our closest associates to depend upon. We are at a juncture where all the trappings of our current civilization are no longer even a moderate excuse for us to continue down that path. It leads to places like Comet Ping Pong and Little St James Island and no matter how hard we try to play their game the only reward is an end like the one Seth Rich earned from his keepers. The only way to win is not to play the game.
Their end is coming. It may not appear that way, it may not come soon or even in most of our lifetime’s, but it will happen and they will be thrown onto the ash heap of history, that much is certain.
A great piece of prose on truth Scrabble.
Those types of people are resistant to the kinds of lures and temptations that seem to hover about the dishonest like a cloud of flies on a carcass. Given the option of taking a bribe or being entrapped in a honeypot, they steer clear of these kinds of situations and focus on other pursuits.
A perfect piece of imagery for what happened the other day.
I am glad to see the dreams of impeachment go up in flames.
Indeed. I concur with RiNS. Great comment, as always, Hardscrabble.
You wrote:
Which, once again, brought me back to the “implied consent” as discussed in my last article.
But, at the same time, while reading your words above, I was thinking there could be another explanation and it called to mind one of the best quotes I ever read here. It was one that you once posted in a comment on some thread long ago and far away. You said it was paraphrased from somewhere (some book) and I don’t remember where – but here it is once again (paraphrased):
“History appears to be a raging, bloody river, choked by the bodies of innocents and tyrants alike, but most of it is lived high upon its banks, where people tend gardens, raise their children and whisper to one another in the darkness.”
Maybe it’s like that and it’s always been like that
Yes, it has always been like that.
We have only ourselves, our actions and our closest associates to depend upon.

All politics is local.
Having wrestled for years on the virtues of quaint notions of truth, I have realized your conclusion. It will all crash, their’s is coming. One the best tweets this week was from none other than President Donald Trump himself when he said
TRUTH IS A FORCE OF NATURE!
I now realize the futility of fighting against a system predisposed to skulduggery, theft and out right lies. To the Flies involved truth is an anathema.. Fighting them is pointless because in a rigged game of blame. The only thing that doesn’t change are the flies on that carcass.
The maggots may come, they do fly, grow old and die.
And you are right…
Their end is coming.
In the meantime..
The only way to win
is to not play.
Let it all shrivel
and die..
What always surprises is me is the ability of the system to keep going, I have been thinking the great reset was coming and the system would crash years ago….yet the corruption is worse than ever and the deep state is still there.
Sure we have pulled some of the creatures into the sunlight and many of the FBI cabals fired in disgrace but they are not the true powers that be…..Trump has an opportunity to strike a significant blow but he so far has been unwilling or unable to do so. The Deep State chugs along.
I was at an event last night that included a number of political types from DC and took the opportunity to tell them they are operating on borrowed time, the left-right game is neither interesting nor relevant to the rest of us and that flyover country sees it that in fact, it is DC vs the rest of us…..the DC denizens were neither shocked or upset, they didn’t even blink and just carried on much like the Deep State…..DC believes that they can continue this game indefinitely. I hope they are wrong.
I am amazed too Hammer.. I have been expecting the calamity to occur since at least 2006 if not before.. and still the end date slides
Perpetuation of fraud in this Empire of lies.
Is the force of Nature..that powers this ride.
How do we identify “the root?” As Thoreau said” there are a hundred who strike at the branches of evil to the one who strikes at the root.”
The reason that you can’t find the root is that you are looking in the wrong places.
Ephesians 6:12 – For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].
To paraphrase William Cooper, “It doesn’t matter whether you believe in the power of the occult. If those in authority believe it, it will affect you.”
I have anticipated the arrival of the collapse/awakening/spicy times since the 80’s. The longer it takes to arrive, the worse it will be.
My take is that what is coming is the Great Tribulation as described in Revelations. Will it arrive in the ~20 years I have left on this rock? Only time will tell.
It will keep going until they run out of other peoples money. Till they can’t steal it, print it or inflate it. That is when lead will be the medium of exchange.
It will keep going until they have burned through all the Retirement savings accounts and other types of IRAs . Once that’s gone then they will pull the plug .It will leave most Americans dirt poor with nothing which is exactly what they want.
I have no sympathy for any of the treasonous bastards . Muller or what ever his name is is a lying piece of shit. A criminal and mass murderer if he was the head of the FBI during the time of 9/11 as I hear yesterday. If so he was part of the plan to murder thousands of Americans and get us into wars that would bankrupt us, destroy our currency and nation. The more I look into 9/11 it is hard to believe so many people would be so willing to commit mass murder. It tells me they will commit genocide against us when the time is right for them and they will use these third world immigrants as foot soldiers. That’s the plan these people have for us. Of the top 25 or so only about 15 are Jewish which should be a relief for people who yell I’m anti Jewish. It’s so obvious who did 9/11 any body could pick the main planners . Once you begin to dig the ” cover up” is so sloppy even Meatballs could pick them out. It’s like they knew they would get away with it or knew they could make a quick get away to Irsael.
I know I went off topic but to me all of this is related. These people will do anything for power. Lie ,cheat , steal and mass murder if necessary. At the moment there seems to be no way to defeat them.
Remember what the great mass murderer Stalin said: “One death is a tragedy. A million is just a statistic.”
Yes, Mueller is THE definition of the Deep State. Look at ANY picture of him through the years. The same dead eyes,
the inscrutable face. I think everything he’s ever done was only in pursuit of power within the gov’t. And who was behind him in the investigation? (((Weissman))) There’s always (((One))) behind the scenes pulling the strings. As far as the FISA investigation. (((Horowitz) is running that.
Hint– Don’t expect much.
There is a lot of ruin in a nation. It is only after the fact that we see how much.
There are some things that decent people just will not do to get elected.
The power hungry lizards, on the other hand, will do ANYTHING to get elected.
The only solution to that is an informed, and decent, population.

Mr Smith never went to Washington, that was just a movie.
The marxists and their owners moved in over a century ago.
What we see today are the final acts of a civilization, not committing suicide, but having been slowly murdered; The United States of America has outlived it’s usefulness to the owners.
WW2 sealed Western Civilization’s, and America’s fates.
2020 will see America fall to communism, because no one will stop it.
You ought to expand on that concept because you’ve managed to nail with 3 sentences. I’d like to hear more if you’ve got the time.
Thank you for your compliment, sir.
The last century began with the traitor Woodrow Wilson in “power”, and ended with the traitor Bill Clinton in “power”. Only the most gullible people believe they were really in control. The beginning of this century began the same way, with the traitor George Bush. Anyone in that “establishment” who tried to expose the depth of treason, crimes, corruption, etc, never lasted very long.
At the beginning of the last century, mind control was called “advertising”, and “propaganda”, a la Edward Bernays. When the Frankfurt School moved into American universities in the 1930’s, it became all out psychological warfare. WW2 provided a permanent backstop against daring to question the infestation. The Long March Though The Institutions was complete by the late 1980’s, and the gatekeeper positions had been taken. Most of the 45 Goals of Communist Takeover are complete, and decades of outright psychological damage has been done. America has been stripped of heavy industries, while being used as a battering ram against any country that refuses to toe certain lines.
The leftist thought they would celebrate the 1917 bolshevik revolution anniversary with the same thing in America. They did not get their wish the easy way, now they will ramp it up. Recall that under Barry Sotero, or whatever his real name is, literally billions of rounds of ammo was purchased and stashed. Most of the “immigrants” flooding into the U.S. just happen to be military aged males…
Many people, more astute and articulate than me, have for the last hundred years documented the takeover from within of Western Civilization; their notes could fill volumes of books. Indeed, the non-chalant words of the people who are taking over are quite damning. But, most Americans pay zero attention to any of it, because the truth is cold, brutal, and ugly. I am just one lone observer, who was awakened to the truth decades ago.
I can only see two sentences where you nailed it:
“Mr. Smith never went to Washington, that was just a movie”
“What we see today are the final acts of a civilization, not committing suicide, but having been slowly murdered”
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum- America, The Land of the Plumed Serpent is fulfilling it’s secret destiny:
Read the book “The Malta Betrayal”. Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin agreed to the plan of the destruction of the west, which lead directly to where we are now. So yes, WWII did in fact seal our fates.
Doc
IMO, our ‘fate’ as a nation was sealed looooong before WWII. Maybe, in the geopolitical sense with the Bretton Woods signing, the dominoes were being lined up.
Your Ephesians quote is what I’m talking about !
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum-RIP Bill Cooper
Interesting vid, but with all due respect to Steve Quayle, he puts too much stock, in “satanic” concepts; this is very diversionary. The very flesh and blood people who destroying the U.S. have names, and have openly stated their goals. Two of their goals are:
1) Global communism
2) White genocide

The only way Mueller could have denied knowing anything about Fusion GPS, the group that was the force behind creating the Steele Dossier, would have been that he suffered from dementia and the poor old man just lost his memory.
Clear enough to me that the man did not suffer from dementia, but was rehearsed for weeks on end to perfect his “senile old man” character to deceive the public, give the republican “knights in shining armor” a scape goat to vent their righteous indignation against and supply the fodder for the Hannity’s of the world to dance happily at the demise of the democrat party.
But the democrat party is still intact with many selective clips of video showing how valiantly they fought the enemy, no one is in danger of jail time and the republicans can proclaim a “huge” victory from more selective clips showing how fiercely they won the day.
The only losers are the American people, who by now have lost any hope in having their trust restored in any government agency. Just in case there are any who are skeptical of the outcome of any justice coming out of this latest travesty, there is the promise of ongoing investigations of future indictments; or maybe just another hearing of much of the same.
The smell of rat is heavy in all the parties of Washington DC now, with the promise of the IG Report just a carrot, or maybe a peanut, hanging in front of the republican’s trunk, to keep them going down the path prepared by the swamp dwellers. Trump is shaping up to be the man the elite needed to counter the rising up of traditional America, by giving them hope and then stringing them along just long enough for the older generation to die off. Is Trump aware of this? I do not know, but history is replete with many men of good intentions, who learned late in life, they were only puppets on a string, serving the masters whom they once opposed.
” Trump is shaping up to be the man the elite needed to counter the rising up of traditional America, by giving them hope and then stringing them along just long enough for the older generation to die off.”
That’s it in a nutshell.
At this point Trump’s failure to prosecute those who organized and executed the coup is undeniable and he is not going to lead a “swamp draining” and in fact just signed off (again) on another massive budget increase…..combine those two items and Trump is just a distraction and part of the problem.
Trump is not going to do anything as far as ” draining the swamp” or even building a solid wall across the southern border . It was all lies told by a liar .As I say that Trump is our only option or hope to keep the nation out of the hands of harden communist who hate white people. After he is gone all hell breaks loose across America. The Democratic party plan to flood our nation with even more third world immigrants. Last I heard 4 to 5 million more a year. Secession is white America’s Best hope if not white Americans will become part of the past.
not sure asks: “Is Trump aware of this”? Of course he is.
BB states: “It was all lies told by a liar”. A true statement, it seems with every new day.
Trump is smart enough to have known ever since his ride down the escalator that he and his candidacy were to be a Hobson’s choice. If he wins in 2020 it will because a significant portion of his base holds their nose when they pull the lever.
And, they will still refuse to face reality, as long as they can eat and drink like swine, and watch vomit on their TV’s and dumb phones…
I don’t do any of that but do have a desire to preserve our once great country.
Tick tock. Tick tock.
Hope is like “maybe”; always just around the bend and over the horizon. Until…

Above 5 minute+ video is both a thank-you to various Truth-Tellers [by the way thank you Doug for your tireless truth-telling!] plus a musical riff which includes the Howard Beale realization rant…….
But because of realizations in the video below, perhaps the candidate for 2020 should be of the Marvin Heemeyer KILLDOZER kind, because even the purported maverick Trump cannot overcome an engineered swing of targeted 2.7 to 10MM votes. The Epstein character everyone missed– [5+mins]:

I watched this and I was not fooled.
A big government hack is pretending to share outrage with a highly qualified, but totally misdirecting Dr. EpSTEIN.
Voting hasn’t mattered one whit since the 17th Amendment. That’s 100 years plus or minus in the “scheme” of things.
CONgress didn’t get to be 424-0 for Israel all by itself either.
Regardless of the truth or realities of vote swinging, Cruz and EpSTEIN’S little outrage session is as contrived as the MATRIX.
WOW! Thanks for posting that… Chip
Doug – It’s a fine line the elite walk though isn’t it?
They need to constantly calculate the amount the unwashed masses will take before reaching that ‘Mad as hell’ moment.
I don’t doubt their ability to do so though. They have all of the resources they need in that regard. The constant and ever more intrusive invasion of our every action and thought is a big part of keeping their fingers on the pulse of the people.
Add to that the army of whiz kids to calculate what we will do and how we will react to multiple stimuli.
I remember the MBA’s that the Ford Motor Company relied on back in the seventies to determine what action to take regarding the Ford Pinto that was experiencing fatalities in rear end crashes. The MBA’s calculated that it was cheaper to do nothing to fix the problem and pay their calculated costs for future death and injuries than it was to fix the problem (the rear crankshaft would push into the gas tank resulting in an explosion in rear end crashes) so that’s what they did – nothing.
The calculations of the MBA whiz kids proved extremely accurate. They didn’t consider the people that would be hurt in the ‘hadn’t even happened yet crashes’, it was simply an equation to solve to them.
The executives at Ford didn’t give a rats ass about the people that would be hurt either. It was just a matter of how much money they would save.
It’s a fine line, but they are very good at what they do.
Steve says:
Indeed. The fine line is actually like a tightrope in a circus and, yes, they are good at what they do.
Posting this here for purposes of posterity (on Drudge currently):
“Russia targeted 2016 state elections with “unprecedented level of activity,” Senate Intel report says”
Of course, just more Orwellian deception. But for those who can read between the lines will see each ever-so-cautious step of their high-wire act:
As they say, history repeats:
The factory where the Ford Pinto was assembled is the same factory where Teslas are assembled.
It must be sitting on top of an underground active volcano.
Remember the bumper stickers that people used to put on the back of their Pintos?
HIT ME WE DIE TOGETHER
Another Crap Car. But Fun Times! (I’m told)
P.O.S. So was the Ford Maverick. I suffered through 2 of those.
Mine was lemon yellow.
It wasn’t a crankshaft that ripped the gas tank open (that’s up front in the engine), but a bunch of ’em blew up with people inside. My brother got lucky with his; when he hit the tree the car broke in half and he got out. But the engine was a 100 feet away.
GM did the same thing with side-mounted truck gas tanks. As I remember at least initially they did nothing and just paid the settlements for deaths.
I feel pretty smart when I come to the same opinion as HSF, independently.
I hope you are very wrong. Yet one cannot deny the Moses Principle will leave a generation in place bereft of knowledge of what went before, raised on propaganda and never taught critical thinking.

Thank you to everyone for sharing your fantastic perspectives so far. Much to consider as another day begins.
My position on the softball columnists should be clear by now, and writers like Uncola are not softball columnists!
I like to cleanse my mind with some Miles Mathis between reading the quality stuff here on TBP.
Here’s one of my favorites.
“You see, no matter what country you were born in, you are raised on the same lies. Both Christ and the Buddha—as promoted now—have no good advice for you beyond that you give Caesar more of what he already has and go live under a Banyan tree, eating grubs. That’s convenient for the Caesars and the Brahmins, wouldn’t you say?
But it isn’t mainly human nature that is corrupt. It is specific individuals in the ruling class that are corrupt. You can’t address general corruption, anyway: you can only address specific corruption. I am telling you that is the specific corruption that must be addressed.
If aliens are watching us—as some think—and if they were given permission to break the noninterference clause, they would change human society most quickly by targeting a few dozen people. If they replaced the right 50 people, say, with benevolent look-alikes, human history would reverse overnight.
With that idea in mind, ask yourself how that could be achieved without alien interference. It won’t be achieved by voting, will it, since those 50 people aren’t elected. It won’t be achieved by murder, since even if those 50 could be killed, they would just be replaced by the corrupt ones around them. It won’t be achieved by legislation, since those 50 are above all laws. It won’t be achieved by an infowar, since those people and their minions control far more means of suggestion and influence than you and yours ever will.
Seems like a stumper, doesn’t it? But here’s an idea: why not talk to those 50 directly, as if they are actually human beings? Instead of assuming they are evil lizard people, transported from the 9th circle of Hell, why not talk to them as if they have ears and a conscience? You plant the seed where it has to grow.
You see, the irony of it is, if you can convince them that They Will be Happier Themselves after the revolution, you don’t even have to have a revolution. A revolution that takes place in the heads of those 50 people is already done, and the streets don’t even have to be swept afterwards.” -Miles W. Mathis
Have to disagree, there will never ever be a reformation in the outlook of the “50 evil doers in charge”…..Sure Paul the Apostle was a Roman tax collector who flipped to the Jesus/God Squad but he is the exception that proves the rule. I have looked into the dead shark eyes of evil folks in charge many times……they enjoy hurting people. They enjoy exercising power for its own sake…..the imagine themselves to be gods.
Gods do not decide to become mere mortals.
Having spent years rumbling around in the aftermath of failed authoritarian regimes its always the same and deceptively simple. People who are evil will commit evil acts to the extent that they can and a significant fraction of the population will simply accept that this is the way things are…..sheeple.
Eventually, these regimes collapse of their own ineptitude and occasionally a violent revolution though usually the revolution just hastens a little bit what was already occurring. E.g. Collapse of the Eastern Block/USSR might have been accelerated a little but was inevitable. Oddly the truly wretched most impoverished countries seem to have authoritarian regimes that last the longest…..NORKS, Cuba, Zimbabwe, Myanmar amongst others. I guess the population is so beaten down they can’t see any possibility of something better.
So the most likely outcome is that the Commies will take over America, there will not be much-organized resistance and we will live in tyranny for 3+generations……How’s that for a cheery Friday morning wake up!
The dark ages come, not when people forget how to do something, but when they forget that it was even possible.
“the most likely outcome is that the Commies will take over America, there will not be much-organized resistance and we will live in tyranny for 3+generations”
I came to the same conclusion a while back, but I keep pretending (to myself, at least) that that “worst case” won’t happen and that there’s still a chance for a “best case” involving chaos, abject poverty, starvation, misery, death, and war.
I’m optimistic that way.
Sad but true.
Miles writes well, but does’nt get it…
Great piece, Uncola. Lean and precise, again with links to substantiate the facts.
Those reference points are worthwhile, when reading this online, thus making the piece stronger than simple printout of hard copy, for wider audience.
Still, prints could be left about, for the lazy, casual observer to absorb, if intrigued enough.
But that’s a big IF, to the pool of people with (uneducated) opinions on the topic.
I hope Robert Gore picks it up, and posts to his blog, for even wider distribution.
Cynics will spout that nothing will come from it, but I’m still in the cautiously optimistic camp copping a Let’s Just Wait and See mindset.
Just can’t live, on the Glum cartoon character always spouting “We’re doomed…or… It’ll Never Work.”
Hope ought never die.
Foolish?
Expectations never fulfilled, ending in disappointment?
Because it’s always been that way?
Gullible to think otherwise?
Maybe.
But, let’s just wait and see.
Meanwhile, go about our lives.
Get busy livin’ or
Get busy dying.
I’ll stick around a bit more, God willing. Entertainment, if nothing else.

For sure the US intelligence agencies were and are working to insure secure elections. It depends on what the definition of is is. The question is who are they working for.
Intelligence agencies?
Employ something like 2 million people directly, 4 million indirectly, and if you count all the 5 eyes FOREIGN FUCKS there are tens of millions of people in intelligence globally.

At least someone had the temerity to skewer Mueller with the truth.
The sad thing is that personal interest now supersedes truth and morals. Whether you believe it or understand it or not, Q’s message has always been ‘united we stand, divided we fall’. The function of the deep state is to divide the nation for personal gain. The fact that each individual that makes up the deep state has a vested interest in maintaining and growing the deep state that allows it to grow and flourish. The deep state now is composed of the great majority of the population, though they don’t realize it. It is THE flaw in humanity that causes empires to grow until they collapse. Almost EVERYONE wants a bigger piece of the pie at the expense of everyone else. They just don’t (can’t) recognize it in themselves, but they sure can recognize it in everyone else.
The coming war will not be civil.
It is worth the watch… I think it should be bumped and discussed as a post. But, I’m only on a fly-by…
Thanks for that Doug. I didn’t hear a second of that kabuki theater and this got me up to speed in a fraction of the time. So more corruption. More political ping pong. More fake narratives. Same old shit. Now I can go back to preparing for the inevitable societal crack up.
If I might add a 6th myth many, if not most, Americans believe:
#6 America would never interfere in another country’s elections.
This is, of course, COMPLETE UTTER BULLSHIT. We’ve done it dozens of times (look up my article where I list 10 egregious instances) … and we will continue to do it. Hell, look what we’re trying to do in Venezuela. All countries spy on each other and, try to influence things in that country to their own benefit. Is this news to anyone?? It shouldn’t be. So, why are the DEMonS so bent out of shape? (Answer: cuz they are fuktards who hate America.)
There’s an article up today about how everything in our society is fake, or a lie. Let me also add; we just might be the biggest fucken HYPOCRITE nation that ever existed.
Today we cry about Russia and their fake influence on our elections ….. when, in fact, it was the USA!USA!USA! who truly and actually fucked the Russians.

A waste of time and money, not to mention the damage to the country. Hate is what I get from the left.
Uncola!
Just popped in to see what was new and almost spit my smoothie all over the screen seeing the accurate and hilarious picture of your post!
Soon out the door but will read your latest with anticipation after chores!
Great pic to set the tone!
That title pic is frighteningly Awesome!
I noticed at the end of this article there was no mention whatsoever of the vaunted “declass” of the FISA documents related to the illegal spying on Carter Page . . . just as that issue has been shoved down the memory hole by team Trump. Trump authorized the release of all of those documents almost a year ago and we’re still waiting. I for one am not holding my breath . . .
I was going to mention it, but it seemed redundant because Trump has placed it onto AG Barr’s lap and we can only assume Barr, Horowitz, Huber, & Durham “got this”, right? Me neither.
What a nest of vipers. Thanks for the article.
Great posts too! I love this site.
Headless, yep, a pretty damn kickass group of people.
Here is a great article that parallels the machinations of Mueller with an episode of Star Trek..
The similarities probably only can go so far..
While he is now a doddering old fool now
Mueller is the swamp after all…
Even now the news keeps repeating in sound bites that Russia hacked the election and something about “impeachment” of Trump over the failed vacuum of the Mueller news who came out as a dithering old man and not the honorable supreme leader of the “cause”.
Freak’n unreal!
There are two drivers for Russiagate. The higher-up (former) government agency people and DNC people (Comey, Brennan, Mueller, Rosenstein, Clinton, etc.) know it is all bullshit. They just fabricated the claims to have justification to spy on Trump. They simply acquired just enough “evidence”, like the Steele Dossier, to have a plausible excuse for their activities, never expecting it to be scrutinized in the light of day.
The rest of the Russiagate believers (MSM news anchors, Congress Democrats, and the Democrat voters) simply accepted it as true without questioning anything, just because of their blind hatred of all things Trump. Their hatred of Trump trumps (pun intended) everything else. Some of them probably realize at some level that it is all bullshit, but they cling to it anyway out of desperation, and certainly won’t admit their doubts publicly.
But I think Mueller (and probably most other Russiagate proponents who know it is all bullshit) would like Russiagate to go away. I don’t think Mueller even wanted to testify a couple of days ago. But the Congress Democrats (and MSM) have invested so much time and energy in Russiagate over the last two and a half years that they just can’t admit publicly that they were wrong (the sunk cost fallacy) so they are going to cling to Russiagate to the bitter end. I see in the news now that the Congress Democrats are seeking Mueller grand jury secrets. They are simply never going to let it go.
I believe its El-Rushbo…
I did the “L” as play on Limbaugh. Was just trying to be more unique and specialer than all of the other bloggers
He actually drives his Lamborghini around Cape Girardeau when he visits… spottings on the local news.
It really is a hoot to live in Bugtussle!
It’s a good list, but you’re missing Bill Binney’s testimony that the DNC info wasn’t hacked because the download speed in the metadata was way too fast for the Internet, it was downloaded on a memory stick; likely by Seth Rich and we know the result.
There is no proof the Russians hacked anything including the 2016 election. Maybe the Dems owe them an apology. I’d really like to see that..Schiff calls Putin; Putin says “fuck you, asshole” and hangs up on him!
WD,
Under # 2 in the article above there is a paragraph that says:
And embedded into that paragraph is a hyperlink to William Binney’s memorandum.
You did your homework for a great article, which I’ll post tonight.
Thank you, Robert.
Just saw this on Zero Hedge.
I first read this yesterday am when HSF and ‘not sure’ comments were a couple of the first comments to post. I hesitated, out of respect for your court- room-qualified documentation of recent events, before I came ridin in on my one trick pony of speculation on spiritual influences directing those same events.
Our political leaders, up to and including presidents, have littered the trail of history with evidence of the pagan Belief Systems that have directed the course of this nation.
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum-
Excellent article, Uncola !
I’m heading out for my morning two mile walk. About a quarter mile of passing the blue flickering lights, then I’m at the HS and sports complex where the sky opens up- flat or round it’s a beautiful heaven we’ve been given to gaze upon…
100! Woo De Hoo!
Awesome post Doug. Congrats. I saw it was picked up on ZH… Chip
I apologize for not seeking out a flat-earth version so as not to influence those who are anti-round-earth theory, but I just wanted to make one small point about Russia.
It is huge.
So huge there are Russians who do not know or care about Russiagate, I bet.
STOP HERE to avoid my meandering thoughts spilling out onto the keys.
There could very well be Yeti in Mongolia. I read an account of those Polish soldiers who walked out of Siberia to return to fight in World War II (No PTSD pensions for THEM!) and they avoided a whole section of the Himalayas because of some hairy apelike people they observed living in caves and tending campfires.
I’ve heard more than one Bible researcher suggest the Tree of Paradise was removed to a secret valley somewhere in the Siberian wastelands, guarded by Cherubim (and that does sound like a decent start of a plot for a Treasure Hunt story/movie). I attended a Bible seminar by a bunch of quilters and learned all about the tree designs on quilts and what the different types mean, Scripturally. Seriously… there is a whole industry devoted to quilt symbolism. So the actual “Tree of Life” is discussed a bit, but only SEEN up close and personal in two places.
Genesis and Revelations. According to this one source, who gave me a long list of references I’m not digging up. But have.
Mostly, I believe there are probably many little clusters of community living in Russian territory, avoiding contact with the “others” as they have done for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. I bet, during the time of the Czars, when the farmers were having more and more of their crops and possessions seized as tribute, little pockets of people moved to what would have been the “RUSSIAN REDOUBT” and, perhaps, they managed to stay separate and keep themselves from being overrun with communist philosophy.
There are probably RUSSIANS in those far-flung lands who have never met any Russians. And I imagine they make great effort NOT to meet anyone.
I wonder if they are aware of Russiagate. I know the hicks around here haven’t a clue.
If there are people in Russia who managed to isolate themselves, I hope no one “discovers” them. They may very well be our only hope.
(I know the Monroe Doctrine declared South America “off limits” for exploration and settlement by Europeans, but that did not STOP our own exploitation of our South American “allies” and the corruption of their native populations, did it? Think of all of the anthropologists whose “research” of all the tribes did NOT help the tribes at all… it only enabled corporations access for profiteering.)
No arguments about the Tree of Paradise being removed to Siberia?
The Almas or Almasty as the Russian “Sasquatch” is known is more Neanderthal-like than our more ape-like version in the Pacific North West…..China has the Yeren and ask our Vietnam vets about “Rock Apes”…..Most folks have little appreciation for how large the landmass of Russia truly is…..11 time zones across vs. 4 for the USA. We have no idea what could be living in those areas seldom seen by humans.
Who will stand up for us ? Attorney General William Barr ? Barr and Robert Mueller have known each other since the 1980s and are said to be good friends.
Mueller would withhold exculpatory evidence that would exonerate his mother..
Uncola, why doesn’t President Trump have these traitors charged with treason???
Because:
In an ideal scenario (and to paraphrase the words of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow) … the wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine.
Or, in an is what it is Hegalian Dialectic (and in the words of Timbuk 3)… “it’s just another movie, another song and dance; another poor sucker who never had a chance”
Option 2 is correct. It is just another song and dance.
Mueller IS THE ultimate slime and sleaze ball…… Pure scum and anyone who says even partially otherwise is an idiot and / or scummy individual….. Shows you just how scummy the Bushes are and those other high profile politicians who vouched for his tegrity and impeccabale credentials…..
The guy was never more than a grifter in my eye and now it is solidified….. I think part of his role all along was posing as a Republican mole for purposes of manipulation and deception of the American public, which arose with the 2016 election….
I would love nothing more than to see this Yankee clipper tried, convicted, which would be a slam dunk, and executed by firing squad or hanging …. I would laugh my ass off right at him as he awaited his turn…….. These people are just filth and scum the likes of which would make Hitler blush……..
OT, but Stucky might be interested…

Ha, ha!
excluding this comment and Uncola’s bio, the word HOPE has been used here 19 times:
I am pretty sure “hope” is not a plan…but it’s all we got!
@ Hopeful Anon
Ctl F & search page are excellent ways to find threads within The Thread. Excellent observation and you’ve touched upon something of which I might write about in some future article.
It seems “hope” is like the phrase “it is what is” whereby diverse applications are relevant.
Just as “is what it is” can be manifested as either serene acceptance in the face of uncontrollable circumstances – OR – as fatalism or defeat – there are also two sides to the coin flip of “hope”.
It should be noted that within this thread, my three (3) usages of the word “hope” were cautionary:
just as I’d hoped!
