There is no question about it, President Trump is the victim
of Deep State tyranny led by Veep Mike Pence and Speaker Paul Ryan. Trump won the election in spite of the GOP
not because of it. When Trump allowed
Veep Mike Pence to head up his transition team he sealed his fate, the fix was
in. The president now finds himself surrounded
by enemies. From Lew Rockwell:
Excerpt:
Is Pence the Deep State’s Insurance Policy?
Last month, Anti-Media reported on
leaked intelligence that forcibly ousted national security adviser Michael
Flynn from the Trump administration. Flynn’s successor, General H.R. McMaster, is far more hawkish, and in comparison to Flynn, takes a much more anti-Russian stance…
Despite this, the media still
perpetuates anti-Russian hysteria and repeated claims regarding the Trump
administration’s ties to Russia — despite
the fact that Flynn, Trump’s supposed go-between with Russia, has already
relinquished his power…
Why would this be?
Both Clinton and Obama had very hawkish approaches to Russia and
Russia’s strategic allies in the Middle East. In contrast, Trump was clear that
he respected Russia’s president and wanted to forge closer relations.
The first thing to note is that
Trump has been keeping most of his campaign promises to date — even the most
outlandish ones. The second is that Flynn
was actually in the process of offering a deal on economic sanctions against
Russia and a ceasefire in Ukraine, suggesting there was substance
behind Trump’s pro-Russia rhetoric…
Evidently, there are those behind the scenes within the deep state and the
intelligence community who still fear that
Trump could take away their long-held anti-Russian narrative, which has
arguably been fueling the need for such
a large and oversized military budget since World War II.
So where is this headed?
If Trump doesn’t adopt the Cold War 2.0 approach of Barack Obama
and Hillary Clinton and is forced out of
his own administration in the same
manner as Flynn, it will become clear why once we learn who would replace
him: Mike Pence.
As the Washington Post’s Josh Rogin
observed:
“Pence is seen by many in Washington as a figure who might stand up
for the traditionally hawkish views he espoused while in Congress, a proxy of sorts for the GOP national
security establishment…”
As head of the transition, he was instrumental in bringing several
traditionally hawkish Republicans into the top levels of the
administration’s national security team, including Director of National
Intelligence-designate Dan Coats, CIA Director Mike Pompeo and U.N. Ambassador
Nikki Haley.”
The ultra-right wing Pence is an entrenched member of the Deep
State as is Paul Ryan. The Deep State
enriches their own off wars designed to keep America deep in debt enslaving its
citizens. Pence has populated the Trump
Administration with enemies of the American people that plot to overthrow the
president to enact the long desired GOP agenda.

Trump Has Treason in White House-Robert David Steele
Former CIA operative and military
Intel officer, Robert David Steele, says there is no doubt President Trump is
dealing with “treason in his own house.” Steele explains, “Donald Trump’s
biggest worry right this minute is they
are stripping away every single one of his loyal staff members and planting
spies in the White House. Reince
Priebus, in my judgment, is not loyal to Donald Trump.
Reince Priebus’ highest mission in life is to keep Donald Trump from
unrigging the system, while helping the neo-conservative and the extreme
left two party establishment strip away all of Trump’s options to the point
that they drive Trump out of office, and Mike Pence is the go along, get along
President that keeps the two-party tyranny in place. . . .
Steele goes on to point out that the real enemy of “We the People” is
the so-called Deep State… Steele, who is Latino, contends, “We are all
black now. White people are feeling what
it is like to be black with no resources, nobody on your side and the state
against you and the authorities against you.
We are all black now…
Steele says unrigging the voting system should be a top priority in the Trump
Administration, and, yes, there is voter fraud by the millions. Steele
contends there are “at least three million illegal voters in this last
election, period. It’s not disputable.” Steele goes on to say, “The key thing is the
Electoral Reform Act with 50 states in thirty days . . . that stops the violent American spring in its tracks.
That’s priority one, not all this
nonsense about Russia and Iran. In my
“Memo for Trump,” I say all of your
enemies are right here at home, in Washington D.C., New York City and in
some areas of California and Texas.”
The treacherous Deep State now has Trump illegally escalating
the war in Syria for which there can be no good outcome. From Ron Paul at Lew Rockwell:
Excerpt:
Why Trump’s Syria 'Surge' Will Fail
Last week President Trump significantly escalated the US military presence in Syria,
sending some 400 Marines to the ISIS-controlled Raqqa, and several dozen Army
Rangers to the contested area around Manbij. According to press reports, he
will also station some 2,500 more US troops in Kuwait to be used as he wishes
in Iraq and Syria.
Not only is it illegal under international law to send troops into another
country without permission, it is also against US law for President Trump to
take the country to war without a declaration. But not only is Trump’s first big war illegal: it is doomed to failure
because it makes no sense.
Part of the problem is that President Trump’s advisors believe the myth
that the US “surge” in Iraq and Afghanistan was a great success and
repeating it would being the victory that eluded Obama with his reliance on
drones and proxy military forces.
A big show of US military force on
the ground – like the 100,000 sent to Afghanistan by Obama in 2009 – is what is
needed in Syria, these experts argue. Rarely
is it asked that if the surge worked so well why are Afghanistan and Iraq still
a disaster?
President Trump’s escalation in
Syria is doomed to failure. He is being
drawn into a quagmire by the neocons that will destroy scores of lives, cost us
a fortune, and may well ruin his presidency. He must de-escalate
immediately before it is too late.
Ron Paul is right, the neocons’ wars are not supposed to be
won, they are supposed to decimate America leaving it weak and vulnerable with
a population that is sick, starving, drug addicted and ignorant from lack of
resources. The neocons’ loyalty is to
Israel, not America. And now Paul Ryan’s
healthcare plan is the final nail in the American coffin. From The Intercept:
Excerpt:
More Guns, Less Medicine: Trump’s Military Spending Binge Would Swamp
Savings From Health Care Repeal
THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE
(CBO) released its analysis of the American Health Care Act (AHCA) on Monday,
finding that the Trump-backed House
Republican bill that seeks to repeal and replace Obamacare would save the
federal government $337 billion over 10 years — at the cost of throwing 24
million people off of health insurance coverage by 2026.
But those theoretical savings would be more than wiped out by
an also theoretical increase in military spending that President Trump wants
Congress to pass… The reason the AHCA
doesn’t save more is because it also
includes a $600 billion tax cut, most of it aimed at benefiting wealthier taxpayers, by paring back taxes used to
support the Affordable Care Act.
AHCA’s impact on the federal budget
deficit is hardly the whole picture, of course. The CBO estimates that 14
million people would lose health insurance coverage in its first year. The cost
of health insurance premiums would go up for many. The CBO notes, for example, that someone 64 years old earning $26,500 a
year would see their net premiums
increase from $1,700 annually to $14,600:
Caching.
Mission accomplished. But if you
think that Ryan’s plan is really much different than Obamacare, you’d be
mistaken, the goals were the same.
Democrats are equally corrupt.
From World Socialist Website:
Excerpt:
US ruling elite moves to repeal the 1960s
The repeal of Obamacare, which began last week with the
introduction of legislation drafted by Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan,
working in conjunction with the Trump administration, has become the vehicle for a much wider program of social reaction.
The new legislation, which will cut off health coverage for 24
million people, will essentially put an
end to Medicaid, one of the major social reforms of the 1960s, a program
that has funded health care for tens of millions of poor, blind or otherwise
disabled people, as well as nursing home care for the low-income elderly. It
sets the stage, as Ryan has indicated, for even more sweeping legislation that
will undermine and eventually destroy
Medicare, which has provided health coverage for most elderly people in the
United States for more than 50 years…
The attacks were accelerated greatly under Republican Ronald Reagan,
who smashed the PATCO air traffic controllers strike, giving the green light for a decade of corporate union-busting and
wage-cutting, and slashed federal social spending to fuel a record military
buildup.
Reagan set the pace for further
attacks on the programs established in the 1960s and even in the 1930s, from Clinton’s abolition of Aid to Families
with Dependent Children to Bush’s targeting
of aid to public education with his “No
Child Left Behind” legislation, co-authored by Democrat Edward Kennedy, and
the first steps towards the
privatization of Medicare.
The Obama administration did not mark a reversal of this decades-long
process, but rather its intensification. Obamacare was not an expansion of
the welfare state, as its apologists claimed, but a reactionary effort to shift the cost of health care from
employers and the government to working people. The all-out support of the
Democrats for this legislation, worked out in collaboration with the insurance
industry and the drug monopolies, testifies to the rightward evolution of the Democratic Party over the past 40 years.
The eight years of the Obama administration--begun with
promises of “hope” and “change” and filled instead with endless war, attacks on jobs and living standards, and the steady
erosion of social services such as education and health care--created the
conditions for the Republican takeover of Congress and finally the victory of
Donald Trump…
Now, every one of Great Society liberalism’s “big four,” as one
historian described the laws enacted in a six-month period from April to
October 1965, is targeted for
destruction:
·
The
Elementary and Secondary Act of 1965: This legislation provided the
first extensive federal support for local public schools, which had become
politically possible following the legal abolition of segregated public schools
in the South…
·
Medicare
and Medicaid, established through the Social Security Act of 1965: This
bill for the first time provided government-backed health insurance for those
over 65, half of whom had no coverage in 1965…
The Obamacare repeal legislation
would put an end to Medicaid as an entitlement program beginning in 2020, when
grants to the states would be capped, forcing them to ration care to the poor
and disabled. Medicare was already
significantly undermined through Obamacare itself, which cut $700 billion
in reimbursements over 10 years, and the repeal legislation will set the stage
for even larger cuts, based on Ryan’s plan to convert the program from an
entitlement to a voucher program.
·
The Voting
Rights Act of 1965 was the most radical democratic measure enacted by a
US Congress since post-Civil War Reconstruction. It targeted those states,
mainly in the Deep South, where denial of the franchise to minorities was
widespread…
The US Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act by a 5-4 decision in 2013
in Shelby vs. Holder, ruling that the targeting of the southern states for
federal intervention could no longer be justified, despite repeated renewal and
extension of the law by Congress, most recently in 2006.
·
The
Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, also known as the Hart-Celler
Act after its leading Senate and House sponsors, abolished longstanding
restrictions on immigrants from Asia, Africa and the Middle East, and ended the
preference for immigrants from Northern and Western Europe over those from
Southern and Eastern Europe.
The Democratic Party has collaborated in one attack after another on the
social reforms with which it was once identified. The Democrats have
spearheaded the attacks on public education, introduced major cuts in Medicare funding as part of Obamacare, and did not
lift a finger to restore enforcement after the Supreme Court gutted the Voting
Rights Act. They oppose Trump, not
in defense of social services, but on
behalf of sections of Wall Street and the military-intelligence apparatus,
attacking the new administration over its supposed softness towards Russia.
It’s hard to put lipstick on that pig. Thus we have it, Donald Trump is out of the picture
and Paul Ryan, Reince Priebus and Mike Pence are enacting their agenda not that
of Donald Trump. Gone are the lofty
promises of returning power to the people.
Trump’s pledges to work for the working men and women of our great
country have been blown to bits and scattered to the wind by a coalition of
Democrats and Republicans.
If the Democrats think they can make a silk purse out of
this sow’s ear, they are even more craven and disgusting than I thought. Breaking news from WikiLeaks from FreeThought Project:
Excerpt:
Assange: Clinton Conspiring With Deep State to Oust Trump for “A Pence Takeover”
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange
suggested on Twitter Tuesday Hillary Clinton and certain unnamed members of the
U.S. Intelligence Community are plotting a takeover by Vice President Mike
Pence.
“Clinton
stated privately this month that she is quietly pushing for a Pence takeover,”
Assange tweeted. “She stated that Pence is predictable hence defeatable.”
“Two
IC officials close to Pence stated privately this month that they are planning
on a Pence takeover,” he added in another tweet. “Did not state if Pence
agrees.”
Further,
he continued, “By handing unilateral power to the CIA over its drone strikes at
this time White House signals that bullying, disloyalty & incompetence
pays.”
In response to shocked reactions to the tweets, Pence lambasted
Assange’s suggestion of a takeover as “absurd” and “frankly
offensive” in an interview with radio host Laura Ingraham,
asserting, “I would find all of that dialogue to be absurd and frankly
offensive…
To wit, the Wall Street Journal reported last night, “President
Donald Trump has given the Central Intelligence Agency secret new authority to
conduct drone strikes against suspected terrorists, U.S. officials said,
changing the Obama administration’s policy of limiting the spy agency’s
paramilitary role and reopening a turf war between the agency and the Pentagon…
Zero Hedge handily summarized what this coup brewing behind
Washington D.C.’s curtains could entail for the rest of us:
“No matter what one
makes of Trump – or his administration and the policies that have been
initiated thus far – the fact remains that Trump won the U.S. election. The people working behind the scenes to
oust him are not subject to democratic controls, nor are they working in
the best interests of the American public. We are left to ask ourselves exactly
how renewing relations with Russia – a
nuclear power – could possibly endanger
American lives.
“Either
way, we are more or less left with two paths ahead of us. The first path
involves Trump giving in and adopting an anti-Russian agenda, as is already
apparent in his decision to send more ground troops to Syria alongside Saudi
troops, who will intentionally oppose the Syrian regime (a close ally of
Russia). The second involves the possibility of another direct coup within the
Trump administration, this time one that may
ultimately force Trump out of the White House so he can be replaced by Mike
Pence, a war hawk who will be more than happy to do the job Hillary Clinton
wanted to do.”
Well that didn’t take long.
The vortex of evil, Mike Pence and Paul Ryan are wielding the GOP meat
cleaver to decimate America’s safety net while engorging the military industrial
complex with cash, a neocon dream since the sixties. The only question is, will Trump abandon the
American people who put him in office and risk impeachment or worse assassination? I guess time will tell but so far it doesn’t
look good for America, there’s a devil inside.
