Tectonic Rumblings

Guest Post by Jim Kunstler

The memory hole that appeared in America’s zeitgeist around 2016 is expanding like some evil cosmic rot. Things happen and then things unhappen and after a while it’s like they never happened. For instance, little seems to have happened all summer long with the matter known as RussiaGate, the attempt by high US government officials to overthrow the result of the 2016 election by pretending that Russia was trying to interfere in the 2016 election.

Quite a confection of lies and subterfuge. It apparently grew out of an effort at the highest levels of the Obama administration well before 2016 to run so-called intel operations against the perceived enemies of Mr. Obama’s foreign policy. One target was General Michael Flynn, who until 2014 had headed the Defense Intelligence Agency, which is devoted to military intel analysis. General Flynn was known to be unfavorably disposed to Mr. Obama’s deal to pay billions to Iran for a halt in that country’s nuclear weapons program.

After retiring, General Flynn set up his own intel consulting company, which had two clients in Russia: a short-hop airline and a cyber-security firm owned by a holding company in Britain. In late 2015, General Flynn attended a Moscow dinner for Russia Today (RT) where he sat next to Vladimir Putin and gave a speech for which he was paid $45,000. Note: at that point, General Flynn was a private citizen and we were not at war with Russia. It was one of many European nations that Americans were allowed to do business in.

My own heuristic analysis is that rival Intel chief, John Brennan of the CIA, enlisted British Intel “asset” (i.e., agent) Joseph Mifsud to sandbag General Flynn in order to put him out of business and shove him offstage. The scheme failed, and soon the General was seen around rallies for candidate Donald Trump. In one notorious scene at the Republican convention, he castigated his former colleague Hillary Clinton and joined in the crowd’s chant to “lock her up.” I’m sure that went over well with Mrs. Clinton and all the Obama administration honchos then still running the CIA, the FBI, and the DOJ.

After Mr. Trump won the 2016 election, he moved to appoint General Flynn as his National Security Advisor. Within a few days, FBI director James Comey pulled off an entrapment gambit to incriminate General Flynn over a conversation he had with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak — as if incoming high officials for foreign policy are not supposed to associate with foreign ambassadors. You understand now that the government had continued its surveillance of General Flynn for years, including tapping his phone when he moved into his White House office. That enabled Mr. Comey to set up a perjury trap. The General was successfully sandbagged this time, kicked offstage, and conned into a guilty plea. He’s been awaiting sentencing for more than a year.

A few months ago, General Flynn fired his old lawyers and hired Sidney Powell, an attorney who literally wrote the book on discovering prosecutorial misconduct in the case of Alaska Senator Ted Stevens, whose prosecution over Mickey Mouse comped hotel bills was thrown out of court by the same Judge, Emmet Sullivan, who presides in the US versus Flynn. Ms. Powell has now declared that she intends to prove “egregious prosecutorial conduct” and suppression of exculpatory evidence against the DOJ lawyers who ran the case against General Flynn. The government never would have had a case if they revealed the FBI’s internal memos on General Flynn.

Attorney Powell is seeking to have the case thrown out of court. The FBI and the DOJ lawyers who conducted the prosecution have stonewalled the court on producing the documents at issue. Judge Sullivan may sense that he’s seen this movie before. The case took on a life of its own long before William Barr was confirmed as attorney general and one wonders if he has any role in ending this damaging farce. Legal protocol may require Judge Sullivan to complete the case one way or another. I wrote in this space a year ago that General Flynn had been subject to prosecutorial misconduct. Now, I’ll venture to assert that if Judge Sullivan does not throw the case out, Mr. Trump will step in and pardon General Flynn, and in doing so will make it clear exactly how and why he was run into court.

The case against General Flynn was an intersection between all the malign forces operating in RussiaGate: rogue high government officials, the vengeful Mrs. Clinton, her allies in the media, and the ass-covering of figures in Barack Obama’s White House inner circle. The case needs to be resolved to plug the memory hole in American political life.

Meanwhile, all indications are that former acting FBI director Andrew McCabe is about to be frog-marched into an indictment for his part in the epic, many-tentacled RussiaGate intrigue. Perhaps today. Many of the other well-known players will follow. Until they do, the Justice branch of the US government may be considered an enemy of the people.

We have been seeing evidence of this attempted coup d’etat for two years with the FOIA documents uncovered by Judicial Watch. The Dept. of Just Us has been unable to connect the dots, because it’s their own family who spearheaded the coup.

Until we see some indictments handed up, some perp walks and a couple of pre-dawn FIB storm trooper raids on some of the perpetrators, we will have a jaundiced view of the DoJ. If it does not happen by 1 Feb 20, Trump will be defeated and the whole affair will be swept under the rug, as usual.

The Rug Covering US government Corruptions is already a mountain of crimes: JFK’s murder and cover-up, the Passive Terrorism of the government which aided the Twin Towers and Bldg 7 destructions Cover-up; the C4 charges placed on columns of the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City and Cover-up, the Delta Forces secret executions of Panama Civilians and US Cover-up, the fire started by a tank that burned down the church in Waco and Cover-up; the Covered-up murders of Vince Foster and Ron Brown, and probably Seth Rich and Jeff Epstein; Crimes of the Clintons; the whole Federal Reserve Financial System; and the Leftist Reconstruction II of the whole country this time (White male discrimination) imposed in 1964.

Excellent list; I would add Michael Hastings of many others from an endless list-not hard to see the pattern here, action agents, cia and fbi, acting at the behest of criminal “leaders” of this experiment laughingly called a democracy.

Bit off topic but IYO who do you think killed JFK & why?

The Deep State (CIA, etc); I believe the French Mafia Hitman that was in the rain water drain hit JFK in the head. There were several sniper shots from buildings at the curve before the Book Depository; one hit the bridge. Many reasons: his Printing of a US Treasury Currency, maybe he had a desire to expose the Deep State Cabal and UFO programs, his refusal to assist the Cuban Invasion, etc. What are your answers?

Always thought it was a Giancana-sanctioned hit for the organized crime doublecross: putting RFK @ AG & his organized crime crusade after old Joe paid him to swing the Chicago vote.

Yes, add that to the list; the Mob was all in. And JFK removed US missiles from Turkey and wanted to get US out of Vietnam.

But LBJ set it up. Read, LBJ The Mastermind. I bet it will leave very little doubt about LBJ as the master plotter.

Mygirl...maybe

Yup, what TN Patriot said.

It’s interesting to see the RussiaGate hoax becoming unglued, first a little at a time, and now all of a sudden with McCabe’s likely indictment. I have no idea how solid the government’s case is against him, and it really doesn’t matter. He can decide to fight it, and be financially ruined, or he can plead out and play ball with the prosecutors, and get a slap on the wrist. This is the same choice Flynn was given, and to his credit, he was willing to stand up to avoid a financial disaster to his family and possible charges against his son. Now McCabe is likely going to be crushed by the same tactic he used against others, and there is more than a little justice in that.

It is worthy to note the case against McCabe is being made without withholding evidence and threatening family members. The DOJ has been much too much like the characters in “Billions.”
This is in fact the greatest political scandal in US history. I am coming to believe the crazy actions of the Deep State against Trump were because they ass-u-me’d that Hitlary was a lock and a quick look shows they had a ton of felony evidence against her and were going to blackmail her ’til the cows came home . To what end is another unanswered question.

The un-elected bureaucracy is far too corrupt, and needs a good house cleaning, hopefully Trump will be able to do this, after McCabe is proved guilty in this attempted coup.

It is not likely though, as it seems blackmail is such an integral part of the power structure.

This is really the ultimate explanation for all the govt. sponsored operations:

whenever a patriot explains how events like 911 do not conform to the official explanation, we are constantly scolded by those in denial, with the phrase “how can so many people keep a secret so big…”

Well, I think we now have our answer. They are all corrupted to some degree, and everything is really just a fucking clown show.

>>>This is in fact the greatest political scandal in US history.

It would be a real shame if McCabe resorted to strangling… er, hanging, himself.

hand slapping forehead,i should have had a v8–
i never considered that they would blackmail hillary but you could be correct–

This is all I remember from 2016, especially from 22:30 on…

Anyone else find it amazing that Felicity Huffman found her way to the slammer quite rapidly, but three years running and not a single Russia-Gate perp is behind bars? What about Ghislaine Maxwell and her cronies still running loose, hmmmm?

Boy oh boy, the egalitarianism of our Justice System is astounding, ain’t it? Trust the Plan, Q-Tippers! I guess it’s the 99-dimensional chess Barr is playing!

Horowitz and Barr, members of the same tribe prosecute???? Especially members of their own tribe! Never will happen. Rosenstein and Comey should have been at the top of the list of lower scum and Comey was passed over and Rosenstein simply vanished to coup plot for another day.

The most egregious criminal act in American political history will go unpunished. The coup plotters will simply wait it out until Trump is gone, either in 2020 or 2024, and then look out for some serious and swift sickle and hammer action against Americans when they regain power.

So far, only McCabe, who ironically is not a member of the tribe…… Coincidence? Also, notice that even if McCabe is prosecuted it’s not for his coup plotting, it’s for leaking to the press that the Hillary investigation was back on and then lying about it. So even if he is prosecuted, it won’t be for his participation as a member of the most seditious criminal act in American history. Instead, it will be for a process crime that embarrassed the FBI only.

Can’t stand Barr or Wray and they should both have already been fired.
