A Textbook Case Of Treason

Authored by Mike Whitney,

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.”

Marcus Tullius Cicero

The Transition Integrity Project (TIP) is a shadowy group of government, military and media elites who have concocted a plan to spread mayhem and disinformation following the November 3 presidential elections.

The strategy takes advantage of the presumed delay in determining the winner of the upcoming election, (due to the deluge of mail-in votes.) The interim period is expected to intensify partisan warfare creating the perfect environment for disseminating propaganda and inciting street violence. The leaders of TIP believe that a mass mobilization will help them to achieve what Russiagate could not, that is, the removal Donald Trump via an illicit coup conjured up by behind-the-scenes powerbrokers and their Democrat allies. Here’s a little more background from an article by Chris Farrell at the Gatestone Institute:

“In one of the greatest public disinformation campaigns in American history — the Left and their NeverTrumper allies (under the nom de guerre: “Transition Integrity Project”) released a 22-page report in August 2020 “war gaming” four election crisis scenarios:….The outcome of each TIP scenario results in street violence and political impasse.

Is it possible that the leadership of the American Left, along with their NeverTrumper allies, are busy talking themselves into advocating and promoting street violence as a response to a presidential election?

The answer is: Yes…. expect violence in the aftermath of the election, because now that is the new ‘normal.”

– (“How to Steal an Election”, Gatestone Institute)

Farrell is right. As we can see from the many articles that have recently popped up in the media, the American people are being prepared for a contested election that will fuel public anxiety and revolt. This all fits with the overall strategy of the TIP. Selected journalists will be used to provide bits of information that serve the interests of the group while the people will be told to expect a long and drawn-out constitutional crisis. Meanwhile, the media, the Democrat leadership, trusted elites and elements in the Intelligence Community will put pressure on Trump to step down while firing up their political base to take to the streets. TIP’s 22-page manifesto makes it clear that mass mobilization will be key to any electoral victory. Here’s an excerpt from the text:

“A show of numbers in the streets-and actions in the streets-may be decisive factors in determining what the public perceives as a just and legitimate outcome.”

– (“Preventing a Disrupted Presidential Election and Transition” The Transition Integrity Project)

In other words, the authors fully support demonstrations and political upheaval to achieve their goal of removing Trump. Clearly, this scorched earth approach did not originate with Joe Biden, but with the cynical and bloodthirsty puppetmasters who operate behind the curtain and who will do anything to advance their agenda.

This is a full-blown color revolution authored and supported by the same oligarchs and deep-state honchoes that have opposed Trump from the very beginning. They’re not going to back down or call off the dogs until the job is done and Trump is gone. And when the dust settles, Trump will likely be charged, tried, sentenced and imprisoned. His fortune will be seized, his family will be financially ruined, and his closest advisors and allies will be prosecuted on fabricated charges. There’s not going to be a “graceful transition” of power if Trump loses. He will face the full wrath of the scheming mandarins he has frustrated for the last 4 years. These are the men who applauded when Saddam and Ghaddafi were savagely butchered. Will Trump face the same fate as them?

Trump has less than two months to rally his supporters, draw attention to the conspiracy that has is presently underway, and figure out a way to defend himself against the coup plotters. If he is unable to derail the impending junta, his goose is cooked.

It’s worth noting, that the Transition Integrity Project (TIP) has no legal authority to meddle in the upcoming election. They were not appointed by any congressional committee nor did any government entity approve their intrusive activities. This is entirely a “lone wolf” operation designed to exploit loopholes in campaign laws in order to undermine public confidence in our elections and to express their unbridled hostility towards Donald Trump. That said, there analysis will probably influence those who share their views. In the first page of their “Executive Summary” they say:

“We assess with a high degree of likelihood that November’s elections will be marked by a chaotic legal and political landscape. We also assess that the President Trump is likely to contest the result by both legal and extra-legal means, in an attempt to hold onto power.

– (Ibid)

This short statement provides the basic justification for the group’s existence. It presents the participants as impartial observers performing their civic duty by objectively analyzing exercises (war games?) that indicate that Trump will challenge the election results in a desperate attempt to hold on to power. Not surprisingly, the group provides no evidence that the president would react the way they think he would. In fact, their hypothesis seems extremely far-fetched given the fact that Trump has no militia, no private army, and very few allies among the political class, the Intelligence Community, the FBI, the military or the deep state. Who exactly does the group think would help Trump hold on to power: Bill Barr, Larry Kudlow, Melania??

There is nothing “impartial” about this analysis. It is partisan gibberish aimed at discrediting Trump while creating a pretext for launching a coup against him. Here is another sample of TIP’s “objective analysis” from page 1 of the manuscript:

“The Transition Integrity Project (TIP) was launched in late 2019 out of concern that the Trump Administration may seek to manipulate, ignore, undermine or disrupt the 2020 presidential election and transition process. TIP takes no position on how Americans should cast their votes, or on the likely winner of the upcoming election; either major party candidate could prevail at the polls in November without resorting to “dirty tricks.” However, the administration of President Donald Trump has steadily undermined core norms of democracy and the rule of law and embraced numerous corrupt and authoritarian practices. This presents a profound challenge for those –from either party –who are committed to ensuring free and fair elections, peaceful transitions of power, and stable administrative continuity in the United States.”

– (Ibid)

Got that? In other words (to paraphrase) “Trump is a corrupt dictator who hates democracy and the rule of law, but that is just our unbiased opinion. Please, don’t let that influence your vote. We just want to make sure the election goes smoothly.”

As we noted, the hatred for Trump permeates the entire 22-page document and that, in turn, undermines the credibility of the author to portray his project as an impartial examination of potential problems in the upcoming election. There is nothing evenhanded in the approach to these issues or in the remedies that are recommended. This is a partisan project concocted by malicious elites who despise Trump and who plan to remove him from office by hook or crook.

So, do we know who the leaders of this (TIP) group are?

Well, we know who their two main spokesmen are: Rosa Brooks– Georgetown law professor and co-founder of the Transition Integrity Project, and Ret. Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, Distinguished Adjunct Professor of Government and Public Policy at the College of William & Mary, and chief of staff to former Secretary of State Colin Powell. According to an article by Whitney Webb:

(Rosa) Brooks… was an advisor to the Pentagon and the Hillary Clinton-led State Department during the Obama administration. She was also previously the general counsel to the President of the Open Society Institute, part of the Open Society Foundations (OSF), a controversial organization funded by billionaire George Soros. Zoe Hudson, who is TIP’s director, is also a former top figure at OSF, serving as senior policy analyst and liaison between the foundations and the U.S. government for 11 years.

OSF ties to the TIP are a red flag for a number of reasons, namely due to the fact that OSF and other Soros-funded organizations played a critical role in fomenting so-called “color revolutions” to overthrow non-aligned governments, particularly during the Obama administration. Examples of OSF’s ties to these manufactured “revolutions” include Ukraine in 2014 and the “Arab Spring”…..

In addition to her ties to the Obama administration and OSF, Brooks is currently a scholar at West Point’s Modern War Institute, where she focuses on “the relationship between the military and domestic policing” and also Georgetown’s Innovative Policing Program. She is a currently a key player in the documented OSF-led push to “capitalize” off of legitimate calls for police reform to justify the creation of a federalized police force under the guise of defunding and/or eliminating local police departments.Brooks’ interest in the “blurring line” between military and police is notable given her past advocacy of a military coup to remove Trump from office and the TIP’s subsequent conclusion that the military “may” have to step in if Trump manages to win the 2020 election, per the group’s “war games” described above.

Brooks is also a senior fellow at the think tank New America. New America’s mission statement notes that the organization is focused on “honestly confronting the challenges caused by rapid technological and social change, and seizing the opportunities those changes create.” It is largely funded by Silicon Valley billionaires, including Bill Gates (Microsoft), Eric Schmidt (Google), Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn), Jeffrey Skoll and Pierre Omidyar (eBay). In addition, it has received millions directly from the U.S. State Department to research “ranking digital rights.” Notably, of these funders, Reid Hoffman was caught “meddling” in the most recent Democratic primary to undercut Bernie Sanders’ candidacy during the Iowa caucus and while others, such as Eric Schmidt and Pierre Omidyar, are known for their cozy ties to the Clinton family and even ties to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.”

– (““Bipartisan” Washington Insiders Reveal Their Plan for Chaos if Trump Wins the Election“, Unlimited Hangout)

Is it safe to say that Rosa Brooks is a Soros stooge overseeing a color revolution in the United States aimed at toppling Trump and replacing him with a dementia-addled, meat-puppet named Joe Biden?

Political analyst Paul Craig Roberts seems to think so. Here’s what he said in a recent post at his website:

“I have provided evidence that the military/security complex, using the media and the Democrats, intends to turn the November election into a color revolution… The evidence of a color revolution in the works is abundantly supplied by CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, NPR, Washington Post and numerous Internet sites funded by the CIA and the foundations and corporations through which it operates.. … All of these media organizations are establishing the story in the mind of Americans that Trump will not leave office when he loses or steals the election and must be driven out.

…With Antifa and Black Lives Matter now experienced in violent protests, they will be unleashed anew on American cities when there is news of a Trump election victory. The media will explain the violence as necessary to free us from a tyrant and egg on the violence, as will the Democrat Party. The CIA will be certain that the violence is well funded….

… What is a reelected President Trump going to do when the Secret Service refuses to repel Antifa and Black Lives Matter when they breach White House Security? …

American Democracy is on the verge of being ended for all times, and the world media will herald the event as the successful overthrowing of a tyrant.” (“America’s Color Revolution”Paul Craig Roberts)

Another of the leading spokesmen for TIP is Retired Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson who made this revealing statement in a recent interview:

“Let me just say some of the things that we’re putting out there. Among those things, one that is very important is the media, particularly the mainstream media. They cannot act as they usually act with regard to elections. They have to play a coup on election night. They can’t be declaring some state like Pennsylvania for one candidate or the other. When Pennsylvania probably has thousands upon thousands of votes yet to come in and count. So, the media has to get its act in order and it has to act very differently than it normally does.”

(NOTE: In other words, Wilkerson does not want the media to follow the normal protocols for covering an election, but to adjust their reporting to accommodate the aims of the coup-plotters. Does that sound like someone who is committed to evenhanded coverage of events, or someone who wants reporters to shape the news to meet the specifications of his own particular agenda? Here’s more from Wilkerson:)

“Second, ….we also have learned that poll workers have to be younger. And we’ve started a movement all across the country to train young people. And we’ve had really good luck with the volunteers to do so, to be poll workers. Because we found out in Wisconsin, for example, poll workers are mostly over 60. And many of them didn’t show up because they were afraid of COVID-19. And so Wisconsin went from about one 188 polling places, to about 15. That’s disastrous.” (“This ‘War Game’ Maps out what happens if the President contests the Election”WBUR)

Why is Wilkerson so encouraged by the young people he’s trained to act as poll workers? Doesn’t that sound a bit fishy, especially from a dyed-in-the-wool partisan who’s mixed up with a group whose sole aim is to beat Trump? And why are the authors of the TIP manifesto so eager to reveal their true intentions. Take a look:

“There will likely not be an “election night” this year; unprecedented numbers of voters are expected to use mail-in ballots, which will almost certainly delay the certified result for days or weeks. A delay provides a window for campaigns, the media, and others to cast doubt on the integrity of the process and for escalating tensions between competing camps. As a legal matter, a candidate unwilling to concede can contest the election into January.…..”

– (Ibid)

So, that’s the GamePlan, eh? The coup plotters want a contested election that drags on for weeks, deepens divisions among the population, undermines confidence in the electoral system, instigates ferocious street fighting in cities across the country, and gives the Biden camp time to mobilize its political resources in Congress to mount a Constitutional attack on Trump.

Can we at least call this treachery by its proper name: Treason – “the crime of betraying one’s country by trying to overthrow the government?”

The nice thing about these current events is that the names of all of these Woke Fools are very well known. If these people start a civil war, remember that they and their proles are concentrated in cities not known for producing the food and energy needed for their survival, within states that often have contiguous counties full of well-armed people who have long hated their one party rule and who may like to form their own new state. Think about what that portends.

So they have a well thought out plan, do they? It reminds me of Steinbeck’s: “the best laid plans of mice and men…” Or, perhaps Admiral Nagumo being warned by a staff officer that his plan for Midway will go well if the Americans do as planned. I recently heard an interview by Larkin Rose who is ecstatic about the recent upheaval. He sees it as a harbinger of a total breakdown of acceptance of any more government bullying. This plan, if pulled off may well put enough people in the camp I’ve been in for 3 decades: Fuck your democracy.

Call the treachery by its proper name: SEDITION, not treason.

Treason is when someone collaborates with a foreign enemy during wartime.

Sedition is when someone tries to undermine or overthrow the government (i.e., a coup).

Here’s what I consider to be a valid question in times like these:
Question: How does the U.S. differ from a banana republic that is faced with a color revolution?
Answer: The U.S. does absolutely nothing, while those who hold the reins of power in the banana form of republic, would round up the traitors, line them up against a wall, place black hoods over their heads, give the commands to the soldiers to ready, aim, fire.
The former Republic of America could probably duke it out with Russia, or even China, but will not survive the communist insurrection brewing from within it’s midst. It seems that those who are bent on a communist coup are afforded the advantage of ignoring Constitutional restraints, while the intended victims of their treachery are constrained by the Constitutional limitations forthwith.
That’s much like bringing a dull butter knife to the annual machine gun challenge.
What could possibly change the outcome for us, as we survey the field of battle and see that our butter knife is not going to cut it (pun intended)? There’s actually a couple of scenarios to consider. One is that the so called “good” guys, who are occupying the White House at the present time, could just be playing the part of a patsy and are actually part of the scheme.
The other side of the coin could reveal a coiled viper ready to strike at the insurgents, as their plans come to fruition.
Which one will it be? Since we’ve seen no sign of life in the department of “just us,” we’re inclined to lean toward the former, in which everyone will play a convincing role in handing the reins of power over to the bloodthirsty commies, who are taking their marching orders from the CCP.
If that occurs, then the only other pressing question that we will all be forced to answer is why are we tolerating those who are preparing to destroy our nation and way of life?
Keep in mind, no matter what you’ve been taught, tolerance is not a virtue, just as non-discrimination neutralizes your ability to make sound decisions on your own behalf.
The traitorous cabal that lurks within our gates, are the same deceitful vipers who have been promoting their anti-white swill and teaching the gullible that racism, antisemitism, discrimination and intolerance are somehow evil and must be abolished.
Most whites never consider (probably because of the frontal lobotomy performed while they received their public education), that all that is to be considered as evil is precisely what they have been using against us to change our Constitutional Republic into the killing fields of Pol Pot, with us as the honored guests.
The next six weeks may very well foretell our future, but doesn’t have to be the final chapter of the story. It will, however, lay bare who the actual traitors are and how their plans will unfold.
Communism in and of itself is a failure of the first estate. Communism and those that propagate its vile tenets can only function in a society of dumb downed, subservient, docile and subjugated sheep. They will reveal themselves to be the ravenous wolves, who bare their fangs in anticipation of the blood feast to come.
Our Savior, Jesus Christ, warned us of the perils to come when he said, “Behold, I send you forth as sheep among wolves.” Matt. 10:16.
Communism is the threat and communism is Jewish from its inception. Now, think hard, who in the hell do you think the wolves are?
Who wants you disarmed and defenseless?
Who promotes diversity and multiculturalism?
Who promotes bi-racial marriage and miscegenation?
Who is at the forefront of the anti-white campaign?
Who has been given the keys to the magic money making machine?
Who forces most food manufacturers to pay a “kosher” tax?
Who heads up Facebook, Twitter and nearly all social media sites and censors any and all things pro-white?
Who hates Christianity and slanders our Savior?
Who has stated many times in their own books that they want a world of their own?
Who is funding the unrest, riots and fires that are plaguing our nation?
Who was at the vanguard of the feminist movement that was designed to destroy the family unit?
Who was behind the opening of the flood gates to illegal immigration?
Who were those who funded the civil rights movement that paid communist agents such as Rosa Parks?

I could go on and on, but if you still can’t figure it out, I’ll leave you to your slumber.

LOL, where I live we’ve been seeing the outcome of everything bad that’s been going on for decades, for a long time. There’s little left to loot and leadership is all about jackasses wanting to be the king of a hill that’s nothing but a collapsing pile of sand. The many weak will die and the few strong will live, and the wise are already armed to the teeth. Local communities will carry on and the national consensus is pretty much on its way out.

Clink -It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it. Beyond that, I do a lot of other things that other old geezers do. For instance, I have restored several classic cars, including several 58 Impalas, 55 Studebaker Speedster, 72 Chevy Cheyenne Super pickup, and many more over the years. Currently, I’m doing a frame up restoration on a 1961 Pontiac Catalina convertible, with tri power, 4 speed, safety trac rear end and dual exhausts from the factory. I have lots of fun, especially mowing with my trusty old Kubota diesel over several acres of ground,as well as weedeating and trimming just today.
Writing is my stress relief and helps to keep my brain from vegetating. Today, we had steaks on the grill, with caramel apple crunch made from the apples from our own orchard.
I do know that ranting about the coming shitstorm is probably futile, but sometimes it fills a void and is better than watching old westerns on GRIT. Thanks for asking, though.

Well I’m glad you do fun things. Otherwise life is about depressing. Everybody needs to be good at something for a hobby, for I have a feeling that know how is going to be a handy thing during an upcoming time of shortages and empty shelves, which are already happening. My thing is the repair and restoration of antique furniture, and I’m also about the last guy in my town who knows anything about repairing old style home and industrial sewing machines. I did away with TV about 6 years ago and haven’t looked back. The good news to me is that new furniture stores are having major supply problems, and the cheap plastic sewing machines are no longer on the shelves.
