NBC News Admits ‘Deep State’ Exists… To Save Us From Trump’s Return

Via ZeroHedge

The last time Donald Trump got within striking distance of the Oval Office in 2016, the Clinton campaign, the Obama administration, and various foreign accomplices invented a hoax accusing the real estate tycoon of being a secret Russian agent, who would use the power of the United States to do Vladimir Putin’s bidding (Which begs the question; why wouldn’t Putin have just invaded Ukraine when his ‘puppet’ Trump wouldn’t have waged a proxy war?).

And when Donald Trump asked Ukraine about obvious corruption by the Biden family, one of the key ‘deep state’ players in his impeachment behind the scenes was none other than Mary McCord – who went from taking down Michael Flynn after the FBI set him up, to helping Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) to peddle a “whistleblower” complaint about Trump’s Ukraine call.

McCord is back with a new hoax to peddle, telling NBC News that the Deep State is preparing for Trump’s return – and is taking action to limit his ability to ‘become a dictator’ and use the military to those ends.

We’re already starting to put together a team to think through the most damaging types of things that he [Trump] might do so that we’re ready to bring lawsuits if we have to,” McCord – executive director of the Institution for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection at Georgetown Law – told the outlet.

The quotes from this fine piece of yellow journalism from NBC are simply hilarious…

  • “Donald Trump is sparking fears among those who understand the inner workings of the Pentagon that he would convert the nonpartisan U.S. military into the muscular arm of his political agenda as he makes comments about dictatorship and devalues the checks and balances that underpin the nation’s two-century-old democracy.”
  • “A circle of appointees independent of Trump’s political operation steered him away from ideas that would have pushed the limits of presidential power in his last term.”
  • “In a new term, many former officials worry that Trump would instead surround himself with loyalists unwilling to say no.”
  • He’s a clear and present danger to our democracy.
  • “His support is solid. And I don’t think people understand what living in a dictatorship would mean.”
  • “There are an array of horrors that could result from Donald Trump’s unrestricted use of the Insurrection Act.”
  • “The military is hundreds of thousands of people strong, and ultimately Trump will find people to follow his legal orders no matter what … The Insurrection Act is a legal order, and if he orders it there will be military officers, especially younger men and women, who will follow that legal order.

This one might be the best: “We’re about 30 seconds away from the Armageddon clock when it comes to democracy,” said William Cohen, a former Republican senator from Maine and defense secretary in the Clinton administration. “I think that’s how close we’re coming to it when you have a presidential candidate who can be indicted on 91 counts, who can be [found liable for] sexual aggression, who we have seen lies pathologically, who has flouted every rule in the book.”

Wow!

Narrative: Trump is going to appoint loyal peons to subvert democracy and declare himself a dictator.

But wait, the deep state cavalry is here!

“Now, bracing for Trump’s potential return, a loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers is quietly devising plans to try to foil any efforts to expand presidential power, which could include pressuring the military to cater to his political needs.”

Part of the aim is to identify like-minded organizations and create a coalition to challenge Trump from day one, those taking part in the discussions said. Some participants are combing through policy papers being crafted for a future conservative administration. They’re also watching the interviews that Trump allies are giving to the press for clues to how a Trump sequel would look.

Other participants include Democracy Forward, an organization that took the Trump administration to court more than 100 times during his administration, and Protect Democracy, an anti-authoritarian group.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., is crafting a bill that would clarify the act and give Congress and the courts some say in its use. Its chances of passage are slim given that Republicans control the House and are largely loyal to Trump.

You tell us what that sounds like…

deep state
noun

  • a body of people, typically influential members of government agencies or the military, believed to be involved in the secret manipulation or control of government policy.

“We are preparing for litigation and preparing to use every tool in the toolbox that our democracy provides to provide the American people an ability to fight back,” according to Skye Perryman, president of Democracy Forward. “We believe this is an existential moment for American democracy and it’s incumbent on everybody to do their part.”

Ah yes, another ‘existential moment.’

Remember, the first rule of ‘Deep State’ is you do not talk about ‘Deep State’.

It’s a situation where the entrenched dictatorial powers are firming up their ability to prevent what they consider to be a dictator threatening to end their reign. All President Trump has to say is something to the effect that, ‘I want to restore our Republic.’ Our constitutional republic is the greatest threat to their “democracy.” Their idea of “democracy” being totally ruled by democrats having no tolerance for opposing or dissenting opinions.

Why go through all the drama when you can win with logic and facts. Just tell everyone about all the positive achievements of the Biden administration. Just think of the shit sandwich handed to Trump if he wins. Maybe he learned something from the last time when everyone tried fuking him over and will do better.

None of the clowns who really fear Trump (as opposed to those who are only pretending to fear him for theatrical reasons) are actually part of the Deep State. They are simply useful idiots who are being used by the NWO, which the actual Deep State comprises the lower hierarchical levels of. The NWO is going to select Trump this year, just as they selected him in 2016. All of this theater is partly to increase his popularity with the Right, similar to all of his indictments, and partly to lay the groundwork for the excuses for his failure to keep any of his campaign promises after he takes office, just as Russiagate and the impeachment nonsense we used as excuses to explain why he was unable to keep any of his campaign promises in his first term. One additional reason for all of this theater is probably also to psychologically prepare the Left for the likelihood (although it is actually a certainty) that Trump will win in November.

Pie, The NWO has already selected Trump for the simple reason that (because of TDS), love him or hate him, it would be the Most divisive thing they could possibly do. The leftists won’t be nearly as graceful about their nemesis being lawfully elected as the right was about having their lawful election stolen. Remember the goal is to destroy what’s left of this country–a second Trump term should be just the ticket.

So, bottom line, they plan on waging endless lawfare in an attempt to keep the new Trump administration from reducing their Marxist/Communist takeover and endless looting of the treasury.

If Trump wins, I’m not going outside for a month. I think it will take that long to clean up all the gore from liberal heads exploding.

Trump is the boss monster of the swamp. That’s why NBC is trying to paint him as some kind of savior.

Amazing how a majority are not pointing at these asshats and laughing at them. It is so obviously pulled out of their asses. But with the commies it’s always projection of what they intend to do.

If they keep this up people are going to forget that Trump lied to them about everything and then poisoned their entire families with his big, beautiful vaccine.

Then a few hours after they vote for that fake, they’ll get their faces rubbed into a loss again.

Then they’re broke for good.

Trump didn’t poison anyone. The weak leaped at the chance to take it.
And we are already broke for good.

At this point I am thinking Trump is controlled opposition. I suspect he is there to suck up all of the patriots’ time and energy. The fact that he continues to celebrate the genocide jabs tells me that he is working for the other side. I wish I was wrong.

I hate to say it, but I think that this war on humanity is based on J_wish Supremacy (Zio_ism). Who is the Deep State, really? A lot of people seem to be waking up to this.

Lots of interesting thoughts in these comments. However, they all miss the mark as they are just men’s thoughts. A just God in heaven has had this country he formed turn their backs on him and being just he must now allow judgement to come to those who fail to follow his word. The failure of America came first from the churches whose pulpits went silent on sin and turned to a social gospel of mush. The Bible tells us clearly there will be a great falling away leading into the endtimes. It is as clear as a bell that it has begun as most churches have become dupes of the devil himself. America is in it’s deaththroes and may show a few bright spots but it is done for as a whole. One thing I know for sure is that politics will not fix our problems as politics IS the source of our problem. Politician=horrible creeps!

We cannot vote our way out of the shit we are in.
Just wait until the WHO says we have to lockdown before the election for disease X and then we can vote with the ammo box. That’s probably what it will take to tip the balance in favor of those who just wanted to be left alone.
