Sedition in Real Time

Guest Post by Jim Kunstler

It is a wonder of these incendiary times that even as impeachment of a president moves to its ripest phase, trial in the Senate, the acts of sedition that prompted it still go on behind the scenes with no intervention — an epic failure of authority, if there ever was one. And further irony, if ever there was a trial that cried for witnesses, the impeachment case being brought by Mrs. Pelosi is such a hash of fraud, incompetence, and chicanery, that it begs for summary dismissal — so that these seditious caitiffs will not have to answer to the nation.

I speak of the “whistleblower” scheme cooked up by a network of officials who have actively plotted to overthrow the president for three years, as laid out at The Last Refuge website Sunday night: Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson in league with former colleagues from the Department of Justice National Security Division and the Lawfare org — a group dedicated to weaponizing law, in service to the political Left.

As I have averred in this blog as far back as October, Mr. Atkinson’s previous job before being appointed ICIG was counsel (lawyer) to the Department of Justice’s Chief of National Security. During the first half of the election year 2016, that was John Carlin. Mr. Carlin’s job was not just to sign-off on FISA warrants, but to actually write them. It also happens that Mr. Carlin had previously served as chief of staff to Robert Mueller, when Mr. Mueller was FBI Director.

Mr. Carlin signed-off on a March 2016 warrant against Carter Page, under suspicion of being a Russian Spy, when in fact Carter Page was a CIA informant who had been operating in Russia for years to uncover Russian adventures against the USA. CIA Director John Brennan inserted Mr. Page into the Trump campaign to open up Mr. Trump’s campaign to FBI surveillance, since the CIA has no law enforcement powers. The FISA Court’s Two-hop Rule allows a second hop to anyone who communicated with the initial subject of a warrant, which might have achieved surveillance of everyone in the Trump campaign, including the candidate himself. It also would have allowed access to all communications going back for years. This part of the scheme was probably green-lighted by White House National Security Advisor Susan Rice for Mr. Brennan, with President Obama’s approval, for the purpose of helping Hillary Clinton in the election.

John Carlin resigned in September of 2016 when faced with the prospect of having to sign a second fraudulent FISA warrant. He was replaced by DOJ attorney Mary McCord. Among other things, Ms. McCord was involved in engineering the case against General Michael Flynn, as well as the continuing surveillance of the Trump campaign. She resigned in April of 2017. A month later, Robert Mueller was appointed Special Counsel by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein (acting for recused AG Jeff Sessions). Mary McCord then moved to a job at the elephant’s graveyard of federal officials under suspicion of malfeasance: the Georgetown University Law School. Meanwhile Michael Atkinson, who had continued as counsel under Ms. McCord, was shifted to his new job as ICIG.

Since then, somehow, Mary McCord landed a gig as an outside lawyer for Adam Schiff’s House intelligence Committee, to which she remains attached to this day. She is also associated with the Lawfare org that has supplied several other lawyers to Mr. Schiff’s committee and Jerrold Nadler’s House Judiciary Committee. Did Ms. McCord organize the “whistleblower” complaint and coordinate its transmission through Mr. Atkinson’s IG office, with CIA agent Eric Ciaramella acting as the spearpoint for the operation? Did Mr. Ciaramella have direct contact with Ms. McCord in the process? Did Ms. McCord have any part in actually writing the “whistleblower’s” highly legalistic complaint? Did Ms. McCord play any part in the backdating of official forms submitted for the “whistleblower’s” complaint — especially the crucial matter of changing the provision that disallowed second-hand “hearsay” evidence from such a complaint? Isn’t it a pity that the Senate phase of this impeachment may conclude with no testimony from these people?

An additional insult to the public interest went down on Friday when FISA court presiding judge James Boasberg picked one Davids Kris, former DOJ National Security Division chief (preceding John Carlin under President Obama), to “assist” in reforming FISA court procedures lately discredited by multiple acts of fraud and seditious abuse. Mr. Kris’s conflicts of interest in this endeavor are so rich and dark that they would embarrass a Gestapo Gruppenführer. In October, 2019, he tweeted “Trump has to go.” He was a loud critic of the report issued by Rep Devin Nunes, former chair, now ranking minority member, of the House Intel Committee — a report subsequently proven factually correct about the deceit surrounding RussiaGate — and an fervent supporter of Adam’s Schiff’s dishonest and factually erroneous minority report. He is one of the most active contributors to the Lawfare blog.

The appointment of Mr. Kris has provoked vehement objections for these obvious reasons, yet who and where is the authority to adjudicated it? Apparently in Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, who is the only person with any supervisory role over the FISA court. Maybe someone should ask Justice Roberts how this appointment can possibly stand.

The US Fed Gov is a mafia.

The people that run it are mafiosi; all of them.

In a sense, you’re correct.

The gov’t is the most obvious target for my disdain, but as an avowed misanthrope, I really do blame the average person for the current situation because they’re stupid enough to want some bullshit gov’t staffed by sociopaths.

They vote in a new scumbag for every office convinced this time it will be different. They never learn from past mistakes. It’s the rampant stupidity that I don’t understand.

The average person is the fuel that produces the mess we are all in. They deserve what they get because they’re stupid and voted for it. I, on the other hand, don’t vote, try to get away from the billion of morons that infect the planet by moving to a sparsely populated island but I’ll also feel the effects produced by others.

You are correct in that I detest the ‘average’ person. Whom ever created the Georgia Guidestones was a genius.

Being a Citizen in a Republic requires duties. At the point where the American Citizens became derelict in their duties as citizens, their freedoms began to disappear. Today we are no longer free, nor do we have any self determination. We only have an illusion of what we like to think we are…..

Only a slave has duties towards a master. 

I have absolutely no duty to any gov’t. Citizenship is the concept where a free individual voluntarily subsumes himself inside a collective. I reject that notion 100% .

Not so sure it gets deeper so much as it just becomes more visible and its depths become more obvious.

Chief Justice Roberts is neck deep himself, all events taking place under his watch. He is probably thrilled with the appointment of Kriss, the firewall.

Somebody has something that keeps Roberts in line, probably has to do with the adoption of the Irish children via Honduras. Let’s not rule out some Epstien romps. The key is not to use the influence on everything just on critical cases like this and Obama Care so he gives the appearance of neutrality.

Pelosi had to delay so that the true conspirators could line up some lower level underlings, to take the fall, after the impeachment trial fails, as it was designed to fail.

There are radical leftist elements in the DNC that even Pelosi can’t control – congressional members with larger financial backers than the old guard that she represents.

She is being put out to pasture by these radicals, probably backed by Bloomberg, the same ones who are backing the communist in VA.

This is all about Trump having the letter I attached to his name. When RBG assumes room temperature, the dems will claim an impeached POTUS does not have the right to appoint her successor. I cannot wait to see how many heads explode when he does.

The ZOG is so powerful that it reminds me of Revelation 13:4 …”Who is like the Beast? Who can wage war against it?” Conservatives won’t Revolt so we must Pray for Trump and dig in for what’s coming.

“I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns. The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her immorality, and on her forehead a name was written, a mystery, ‘BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.'” – rev 17:3-5

This article is from last August and this is the first I have seen of it. I cannot believe I did not see it sooner somewhere.

Meanwhile Lois Lerner is living the good life on her 6 digit federal retirement.

“Maybe someone should ask Justice Roberts how this appointment can possibly stand.”

Maybe because it’s a tax? I mean, of course it’s a tax.–Injustice Roberts.

“that it begs for summary dismissal — so that these seditious caitiffs will not have to answer to the nation.”

Watch and see. Any dismissal will be proof of Orange Man Bad, Republicans hate LGBTUVWXYZ and people of color, and Russian, I mean Ukrainian collusion.

Mygirl...maybe

Roberts? That Roberts? Please, the entire system is a bloated, corrupt, vile and stinking pile of carrion. Asking this pile of carrion to police itself is pathetically naive. It’s like asking a whale to harpoon itself. (No offense to whales, they’re marvelous creatures)
