"Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they
have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you," ~ Senate Minority
Leader Chuck Schumer
The Spooks are going insane and are pulling out all the
stops to impeach President Donald Trump before the 2020 presidential
election. The Deep State’s presidential
candidate, the self-proclaimed Zionist Joe Biden and his crime family were
deeply involved in the CIA’s overthrow of the elected government of
Ukraine. Along with the Deep State
holdovers from the W. Bush Administration, the Obama Administration gave the go
ahead for the CIA’s violent Color Revolution and theft of Ukraine’s gold.
Trump has refused
to play ball with the Deep State and give them their Holy War against
Iran. When Trump fired the Deep State’s most
reliable never-Trump protagonist John Bolton, it was on. Democrats and Republicans alike attacked
Trump viciously while canonizing Bolton and his demonic ambitions for Iran and
Venezuela.
The latest
accusation of an “impeachable offense” levied against Trump by the Deep State is
a phone call Trump had with the “newly” elected President of Ukraine where
Trump supposedly “pressured” Zelensky to “dig up dirt” on Obama’s Vice
President and Deep State favored 2020 presidential candidate in order to ensure
Trump’s reelection in 2020. From
Executive Intelligence Review:

Crazed Democrats Announce
Formal Impeachment Inquiry Against Trump
Washington has been consumed since Wednesday, Sept. 18, with the latest intelligence community generated
attack against the President of the United States, in the ongoing
unconstitutional and seditious coup, which, if successful, ends our storied
constitutional republic.
At 5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24 crazed Democrats leaped off the cliff
and announced, through Speaker Nancy Pelosi, that they were moving forward with
a formal impeachment inquiry in the House of Representatives. They
were preceded by Lyndon LaRouche’s prosecutor and 2020 Trump primary opponent
William Weld calling for the President’s immediate execution for treason.
The latest round of full spectrum information war conducted
against Trump and the American public, involves the claim that President Donald
Trump, in a conversation with new Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, conditioned lethal aid to Ukraine on
Zelensky investigating Hunter Biden’s obviously corrupt relationship with
Burisma Holdings, an oil and gas enterprise owned by the oligarch Mykola
Zlochevsky.
Hunter, a coke addict with
no experience in the oil and gas industry, was appointed to Burisma’s board
while Papa Joe Biden was serving as Obama’s point man on the 2014
British/American Ukraine coup and its aftermath, pocketing a cool $3 million, according
to the President’s attorney Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani has also said that he has asked Ukraine for a full
accounting of the Ukrainian state interference in the 2016 U.S. election on
behalf of Hillary Clinton.
The whistleblower complaint
at the center of this faux controversy is said to involve multiple conversations
by the President with foreign leaders about which the whistleblower is
“concerned,” although
he or she is said to have direct knowledge of absolutely none. The
President has adamantly denied any quid pro quo in the specific conversation
cited or that he has done anything wrong and
has had the transcript of his call with Zelensky declassified and will present
it in full publicly on Sept. 25.
So President
Trump declassified the transcript of the phone call with Zelensky, but that’s
not good enough for the rabid Dems. No,
the oligarch controlled congress doesn’t want a transcript of the call they
want the Deep State created “whistleblower complaint” released to
congress. Now that is rich, given the
Obama Administration’s history of prosecuting whistleblowers on espionage
charges when their complaints involve the illegal actions of the Deep State
spooks. From Whistleblower.org:
Excerpt:
Obama Indicts Sixth Whistleblower Under the
Espionage Act
“CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou blew the
whistle on ‘waterboarding’ and refused to engage in torture, but is the only person to be criminally prosecuted in connection
with the Bush-era torture program”
On
April 3, 2012, the Obama administration indicted intelligence whistleblower
John Kiriakou. Kiriakou is the sixth whistleblower that the Obama administration has charged under the Espionage Act for the
alleged mishandling of classified information – more than all past
administrations combined. IN A RARE
MOVE, THE INDICTMENT WAS SEALED UNTIL TODAY.
Kiriakou
is a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) veteran who headed counterterrorism
operations in Pakistan after 9/11, organized the team operation that captured
suspected al-Qaeda operative Abu Zubaydah, and refused to be trained in torture
interrogation tactics. In December 2007,
Kiriakou gave an on-camera interview to ABC News in which he disclosed that
Zubaydah was “waterboarded” and that “waterboarding” was torture.
Kiriakou was one of the first CIA
officers to label waterboarding as torture, and his interview helped expose the
CIA’s torture program as policy, rather than the actions of a few rogue agents. Kiriakou further exposed the CIA’s torture program and
the CIA’s deception about torture even to its own employees in his 2009 book,
The Reluctant Spy: My Secret Life in the CIA’s War on Terror.
Government
Accountability Project (GAP) National Security & Human Rights Director
Jesselyn Radack, a Department of Justice (DOJ) whistleblower herself,
represented National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblower Thomas Drake, the first
individual indicted by the Obama administration under the Espionage Act FOR
DISCLOSING MASSIVE WASTE, FRAUD, ABUSE AND ILLEGALITY AT THE NSA Through
proper channels. The DOJ case against Drake fell apart days before the trial
was set to begin last summer, in what
was widely seen as a bellwether case for future prosecutions, like that
of Kiriakou.
“John
Kiriakou is the new Thomas Drake,” stated Radack, continuing, “And the case
against Kiriakou is just as flimsy as the one against Drake. The Obama administration’s unprecedented
use of the Espionage Act to target whistleblowers sends a chilling message to
any national security worker considering blowing the whistle on corruption
and wrongdoing. THE ESPIONAGE ACT IS AN
ARCHAIC WORLD WAR I-ERA LAW INTENDED TO
GO AFTER SPIES, NOT WHISTLEBLOWERS.”
Inexplicably,
Kiriakou’s indictment was sealed until today. Radack noted “There was no flight
risk for Kiriakou, who had already been arrested in January, and no reason to
keep the indictment under seal, except perhaps to delay press coverage of the
Obama administration’s latest criminal prosecution of a whistleblower.”
Radack
added, “It is outrageous that John
Kiriakou – the whistleblower – is the only individual to be prosecuted in
relation to the Bush administration’s torture program. The interrogators who tortured prisoners, the officials who gave the
orders, the attorneys who authored the torture memos, and the CIA agents who
destroyed the interrogation tapes have not been held professionally
accountable, much less charged with crimes.
But
John Kiriakou is facing decades in prison for helping expose torture. The fact
that national security whistleblowers
have become the exception to the Obama administration’s meme of ‘looking
forward, not back’ at Bush-era crimes sets a dangerous precedent: if you
torture a prisoner, you will not be held criminally liable, but if you blow the
whistle on torture, you risk criminal prosecution under the Espionage Act.”
My, my, my. “The interrogators who tortured prisoners, the officials
who gave the orders, the attorneys who authored the torture memos, and the CIA
agents who destroyed the interrogation tapes have not been held professionally
accountable, much less charged with crimes.”
Yes, indeed, not only have they not been held
“professionally accountable”, they continued to serve in the Obama
Administration and now the Trump Administration. Torture Queen Gina Haspel is now the CIA
Director.
If ever there was
a case of espionage it would have to be a “CIA whistleblower demanding congress
take action against a sitting President” based on the president’s perfectly
legal, confidential conversation with a world leader for which the whistle
blower was not party to. The “CIA agent”
was spying on the elected president of the United States. If that isn’t “espionage” what is? This is an unprecedented CIA/MI6/Mossad coup
against an elected president of the United States. From Tom Luongo:
Excerpt:
The Coup Has Begun – The Empire Strikes Back Everywhere
“I am altering the deal, pray I don’t alter
it any further.” Darth Vader, “The
Empire Strikes Back”
You know I think there are no
coincidences in politics. Everything happens on a particular schedule. So when
I see a day as crazy as today I have to ask the question, “Why this, why now?” Look
at the headlines and you’ll see what I’m talking about. All of these things
happened since I woke up at 7:30am this morning in Florida:
The British Supreme Court just arrogated unprecedented power to itself
by inserting itself into any dispute between the Government and Parliament.
This upends more than 300 years of
constitutional process.
The Democrats have announced they will pursue impeachment charges
against President Trump because an
unverified, hearsay whistleblower made a complaint about a phone
call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenski. Impeachment odds
soared overnight as someone was tipped off about the Democrats’ plan.
Bitcoin’s hashrate mysteriously flash-crashed more than 40% presaging a
massive $1500 drop in price…
Europe’s Trio of Faded Glory — The UK, France and Germany — joined in the
chorus of unverified condemnation of Iran in the attack on the Saudi oil
field on the 14th.
The Federal Reserve continues to bail out banks to the tune of $65 to
$75 billion per day through overnight repo operations that no one can give
us an explanation as to why they’re needed.
This feels to me like a multi-level
coup against those that dare stand athwart the global power structure. Both British and American leadership
institutions are under sincere attack with these moves.
The not-so-subtle message is, “We
own you. We are in control and always will be.” Your champions will be harassed until they are completely neutered and
bereft of any ability to implement the changes you want…
Democratic referenda are
ignored. Bitcoin mysteriously has its network attacked. Unpopular parliaments
ignore the people and remain in power. Centuries of tradition and convention
thrown out the window to serve the next big thing…
When you lose control of the
narrative, when you spin a story out of whole cloth all you can do is double
down. This is what the Democrats are doing in the case of Ukraine. They
have to stay on the offensive against Trump because if they don’t their lead
candidate (yeah, right!) for President is disgraced. So, the natural thing
to do is, Alinsky-like, accuse Trump
of the very thing that Joe Biden did and was caught on tape braying about like
the jackass he is.
It is over this that Trump is to be impeached?
Daring to reveal the truth about an
issue of real corruption in a country deeply implicated in the fake collusion
story originally intended to remove him from the Oval Office? This somehow hits the standard of High
Crimes and Misdemeanors?
It does when we live in a world ruled by men, not laws.
Trump was, for all intents, acquitted already in any obstruction of
justice charges over RussiaGate. So
how is his exhorting a foreign counterpart to look into real corruption
committed by someone highly-connected to a former U.S. Vice President anything
other than him doing his job?
It is his job to prosecute malfeasance of government officials is it
not?
Trump’s move to release the
un-redacted transcripts of the phone call was the right move. And the Democrats’ continued pursuing of this will
likely make them look like morons. But
here’s the rub. Take a lesson from the British fiasco. The whole process
through the courts was a sham. The conclusion was foregone the moment the
challenge was filed to Johnson’s proroguing of Parliament.
The rest was theater because the Supreme Court was always going to
decide this way.
So guess what? The Democrats would not be pushing for this if they ddin’t think they
have the votes in the House and the Senate to get this done. Ignore the
conventional wisdom on this. They were
wrong in the UK.
They will be wrong here, unless Trump has something else up his
sleeve.
His removing John Bolton and refusal to attack Iran is driving the
neoconservatives to apoplexy. They
want their holy war against the apostate Shi’ites and they will get it. Mike
Pence will be their avatar until such time as he can be removed through a sham election in 2020. If this wasn’t the case they wouldn’t be
risking what’s left of their political future defending a senile old man, Joe Biden, who they don’t actually want
to be the candidate anyway.
It’s a coup folks.
And the full court press is on in
this coup for your sanity and to radicalize you into violence. They are daring
us to strike back here so then they can be justified in going on full lockdown
and cancel future elections. They have
to do this. Their financial markets are
in the early stages of collapse. The dollar liquidity crisis has started which
will drain Europe of its life blood.
This has the feel of those months leading up to Bear Stearns’
dissolution which culminated in Lehman Bros. in 2008, which broke the
engine of the world.
The elite reacting this way is
predictable. They were always going here. But
the problem is that while you can make something awful legal, it doesn’t make
it right. And people know what’s right and what is fair. Breaking the compact between rulers and
the ruled sets a dangerous precedent for reciprocal violence.
Because overthrowing a
President for doing his job and destroying government to nullify a democratic
referendum are points of no return.
Brits and Americans alike are learning the terrible lesson that it is
time to put away childish things like representative government and that
elections matter. THEY DON’T. You will be presented with nothing but
Hobson’s Choices from here forward. The
image you hold in your head of your country is not the reality of the one you
live in.
The dystopia is real.
Yes I agree as a presidential candidate Joe Biden is the dog
food the dogs refuse to eat. Why would
Democrats risk their political future defending a senile old man, Joe Biden,
who they don’t actually want to be the candidate anyway? So why would the Democrats and the
never-Trump Republicans risk opening up a can of rotten worms like the well
documented CIA rape and murder of Ukraine at this time?
The CIA prepared talking points that Biden and his coke-head
son as well as CIA’s shell company, Burisma Holdings were exonerated are
laughable. But I guess, like Schumer
said, You take on the intelligence
community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.” From Zero Hedge:
Excerpt:
NYTimes 'Outs' Ukraine-Call "Whistleblower" As CIA Officer
Soon after the Ukraine-gate
"whistleblower" complaint was made public, questions about the source's knowledge and background began to rise,
as one former CIA officer noted very specifically:
The way this complaint was written suggested the author had a lot of
help. I know from my work on the House Intel Commitee staff that many
whistleblowers go directly to the intel oversight committees. Did this
whistleblower first meet with House Intel committee members?
My view is that this whistleblower complaint is too
convenient and too perfect to come from a typical whistleblower. Were other IC officers involved? Where outside groups opposed to
the president involved?
This complaint will further damage
IC relations with the White House for many years to come because IC officers appear to be politicizing
presidential phone calls with foreign officials and their access to the
president and his activities in the White House. Worst of all, this IC officer -- and
probably others -- have blatantly crossed the line into policy.
And sure enough, if The New York
Times is to be believed, the complainant
is a C.I.A. officer who was detailed to work at the White House at one point,
according to three people familiar with his identity. The man has since returned to the C.I.A., the
people said.
The NYTimes, of course, puts its
spin on the news, claiming that the whistle-blower's expertise will likely add
to lawmakers' confidence about the merits of his complaint. However, given the
current state of affairs, we suspect it
will simply remind a deeply divided nation of the bias and prejudice that
exists behind the President's back.
"Let me tell you: You take on
the intelligence community - they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at
you... So, even for a practical
supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he's being really dumb to do this."
Hmm, so who assigned this CIA agent to spy on President
Trump? Was it John Brennan or James
Clapper, two ex-spooks who lied to congress while under oath and now employed
by CNN to kick up dirt on Trump? Seems
to me there needs to be a complete housecleaning job done at America’s
treacherous intelligence agencies. But
that will never happen as long as the CIA owns the mainstream media in
America. From Hang the Bankers:
Excerpt:
Washington Post owner receives $600 million contract from the CIA
Editor’s note: The Washington Post was the first to run the story of the CIA’s claim
that Russia hacked the US election, of which there is absolutely no evidence.
It’s been a rough couple days for The Washington Post. Word emerged
that hackers invaded its internal system—for a few days, no less—all of its
staffers had to change their passwords as the company tried to figure out how
much data had been compromised.
Meanwhile, a petition campaign was
launched related to news that Amazon, under the Post’s new owner, Jeff Bezos,
recently secured a $600 million contract from the CIA. THAT’S AT
LEAST TWICE WHAT BEZOS PAID FOR THE POST THIS YEAR. Bezos recently disclosed
that the company’s Web-services business is building a “private cloud” for the
CIA to use for its data needs.
Critics charge that, at a
minimum, the Post needs to disclose its CIA link whenever it reports on the
agency. Over 15,000 have signed the petition this week hosted by
RootsAction. In a statement released by
the Institute for Public Accuracy, media writer/author Robert McChesney
observes:
When the main shareholder in one of the very largest corporations in
the world benefits from a massive contract with the CIA on the one hand, and
that same billionaire owns the Washington Post on the other hand, there are
serious problems. The Post is
unquestionably the political paper of record in the United States, and how it
covers governance sets the agenda for the balance of the news media. Citizens
need to know about this conflict of interest in the columns of the Post itself.
If some official enemy of the
United States had a comparable situation—say
the owner of the dominant newspaper in Caracas was getting $600 million in
secretive contracts from the Maduro government—the Post itself would lead the
howling chorus impaling that newspaper and that government for making a
mockery of a free press. It is time for the Post to take a dose of its own
medicine.”
Bezos personally and publicly touts
Amazon Web Services, and it’s evident
that Amazon will be seeking more CIA contracts. Last month, Amazon issued a
statement saying, “We look forward to a successful relationship with the CIA.”
Ha, ha. The
Washington Whore Post, who was first to break the CIA created Russiagate
non-story with absolutely no proof is now the leader in breaking “son-of-Russiagate”
Ukrainegate. The so called
“Whistleblower” is a CIA agent so no problem there for the Post. From Caitlin Johnstone:
Excerpt:
MSM Defends CIA’s “Whistleblower”, Ignores Actual Whistleblowers
The word “whistleblower” has been
trending in news headlines lately, but not for the reasons that any sane person
might hope for.
“Read the whistleblower complaint regarding President Trump’s
communications with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky“, says The
Washington Post. “Trump responds to hearing on whistleblower complaint“,
says MSNBC. “Trump-Ukraine scandal: what did the whistleblower say and how
serious is it?“, writes The Guardian. “Whistleblower complaint says White House
tried to ‘lock down’ Ukraine call records” announces CBS. “Whistleblower’s
complaint is a devastating report from a savvy official“, declares CNN.
So who is this “savvy official”?
Who is this courageous whistleblower who boldly shone the light of truth upon
the mechanisms of power in the interests of the common man? Who is this brave, selfless individual who
set off an impeachment inquiry by taking a stand and revealing the fact that
the US president made a phone call in July urging Ukrainian president Volodymyr
Zelensky to help investigate corruption allegations against Joe Biden and his
son?
Well believe it or not, according
to The New York Times this brave, noble
whistleblower who the mainstream media are currently championing is an officer
for the Central Intelligence Agency.

So there you have it. A
mysterious stranger from the lying, torturing, propagandizing, drug

working in the White House, heroically provided the political/media class with
politically powerful information out of the goodness of his heart, and then
vanished off into the Langley sunset. CLEARLY THERE IS NOTHING
SUSPICIOUS ABOUT THIS STORY AT ALL.
In all seriousness, even to call this spook a “whistleblower”
is ridiculous on its face. You
don’t get to call someone from the US intelligence community a whistleblower
unless they are actually whistleblowing on the US intelligence community.
That’s not a thing. A CIA officer who exposes information about government
officials is an operative performing an operation unless proven otherwise,
because that’s what the CIA does; it liberally leaks information wherever
it’s convenient for CIA agendas while withholding all other information behind
a veil of government secrecy.
A CIA officer who exposes
information about CIA wrongdoings without the CIA’s permission is a
whistleblower. A CIA
officer who exposes information about someone else is just a spook doing spook
things. You can recognize the latter by the way the mass media
supports, applauds and employs them. You can recognize the former by the way
they have been persecuted, imprisoned, and/or died under mysterious
circumstances…
“The idea that the media needs to ‘protect’ a high-level CIA officer

While all this political/media class cheerleading for whistleblower
protections is going on, the most prominent whistleblower in America remains
imprisoned for taking a principled stand against secret grand juries while
being driven into crippling debt. Chelsea Manning is still racking up fines
of $1,000 per day while locked in a Virginia federal detention center for
refusing to testify against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
The mainstream press that is so keen to champion a “whistleblower” who
works for the CIA and provided information which feeds into America’s fake
partisan pro wrestling feud has
been almost completely silent on the actual whistleblower who exposed actual US
war crimes.
“The courageous whistleblower Chelsea Manning has now been held in a
federal detention center in Alexandria, Virginia for more than six months,”
reads a recent article by World Socialist Website, one of the only news outlets
to consistently report on Manning’s plight. “MANNING
HAS NOT BEEN CHARGED WITH OR COMMITTED ANY CRIME. She was sent to jail
on March 8, 2019 for refusing to testify before a secret grand jury that has
indicted persecuted WikiLeaks founder and publisher Julian Assange, who published
the information she leaked exposing rampant US imperialist criminality.”
“The vindictive treatment of Chelsea Manning has included
‘administrative segregation’—a prison euphemism for solitary confinement—and
being fined an unprecedented $1,000 per day for refusing to answer grand
jury questions,” WSWS reports.
“By the time she might be released
in October 2020, she will be left owing the US government as much as $440,000. Convicted antiwar activist Jeremy Hammond,
who provided intelligence documents to WikiLeaks, has been also brought to the
same jail as Manning in order to coerce him into giving false testimony.”
“On a scale of ‘haha’ to ‘lol,’ how
likely would you say it is that
politicians’ sudden interest in whistleblowing will lead to the reform of the
Espionage Act, which the government has routinely used to jail the sources
behind some of the most important stories in US history?” tweeted NSA
whistleblower Edward Snowden in response to an Onion article satirizing the
latest hypocrisy.

The political/media class of the United States do not care about

justice. They do not care about holding power to account, because they exist
only to serve power.
I don’t pretend to know what the
CIA’s game is here; it probably isn’t to remove Trump from office because
everyone knows that will not happen and failed impeachments historically boost
a president’s popularity. But I do know that everyone cheerleading

themselves.
America is being ruled by a bunch of rich plutocrats that

Imperial Tool Pelosi Falsely Links Russia to Ukrainegate
Actions in the Washington cesspool
never surprise — by members of both right wing of the US war party. They
represent the greatest threat to world peace and ordinary people everywhere at
home and abroad. Pro-war,
pro-business, pro-Wall Street, anti-progressive Speaker Pelosi is part of the
problem, never part of the solution.
Her long disturbing congressional record shows she exclusively serves
wealth and power interests at the expense of the vast majority of Americans she
disdains, proving it time and again. Her
deplorable voting record speaks for itself, backing:
1. the 1999 Gramm-Leach-Blily Act
repeal of Glass-Steagall, permitting
some of the most egregious financial abuses in the modern era;
2. the September 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF),
permitting endless wars of aggression in multiple theaters, raging
endlessly;
3. annual National Defense Authorization Acts and US wars of aggression;
4. Obama’s neoliberal harshness,
continuing under Trump, along with tax
cuts for the rich, benefitting her and her husband enormously, without
admitting it;
5. increasingly unaffordable
marketplace medicine, ripping off
consumers for profit, leaving millions uninsured, most Americans way
underinsured;
6. the USA Patriot Act, Anti-Terrorism Act and other police state
law;
7. the 9/11 whitewash Commission Recommendation Act;
8. the FISA Amendments Act — permitting warrantless spying post-9/11,
Big Brother watching everyone;
9. NAFTA and other anti-consumer/corporate coup d’etat trade bills;
10. the repressive US gulag prison system, the world’s largest by far;
incarcerating millions by federal, state, and local authorities, it
includes global torture prisons;
11. unapologetic support for Israeli apartheid viciousness;
12. fierce opposition to Russia, China, Iran, Syria, Venezuela, North
Korea, and other nonbelligerent sovereign states threatening no one;
12. the Russiagate witch hunt and Ukrainegate scams.
Calling exploitive/predatory “free market (capitalism) our greatest
asset” shows her contempt for equity and justice. Her support for the
military, industrial, security, media complex is all about backing
endless wars of aggression against invented enemies. No real ones exist.
Pelosi represents what belligerent, plutocratic, oligarchic,
increasingly totalitarian rule is all about, notably contemptuous of
nations on the US target list for regime change — Russia, China and Iran
topping the list. On Friday, she falsely accused Russia of involvement
in Ukrainegate, a failed Russiagate scam spinoff with no legitimacy,
supported by undemocratic Dems and their echo-chamber media.
Repeating the long ago debunked
Russian US election meddling Big Lie that won’t die, she falsely accused Moscow
of “ha(ving) a hand in this.” Referring
to the Ukrainegate scam, she offered no evidence backing her accusation because
none exists. During a Friday press
conference on the sidelines of the UN
General Assembly in New York, Sergey Lavrov slammed Pelosi’s Big Lie, saying:
“Russia’s been accused of all the
deadly sins, and then some. It’s paranoia, and I think it’s obvious to
everyone.”
It’s unacceptable anti-Russia
hate-mongering, what goes on endlessly, Cold War 2.0 raging.
Russian Foreign Ministry
spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the following on her facebook page:
“Speaker of the lower house of
Congress Nancy Pelosi believes that Russia is involved in the scandal over July
telephone conversation between us and Ukraine Presidents Donald Trump and
Vladimir Zelensky.”
“This (baseless) assumption was made on Friday…Pelosi (not) explaining
what it means, and without providing evidence of her words.” “Considering that it was Nancy Pelosi who caused the ‘Scandal around the telephone
conversation between the presidents of the United States and Ukraine,’
then, according to the speaker’s logic, Russia attached the hand to her.”
What’s going on is continuation of the most shameful political chapter
in US history, ongoing since Trump took office, along with railroading
Richard Nixon. Both episodes represent
McCarthyism on steroids – supported by establishment media, furious about
Trump’s triumph over Hillary, targeting him largely for the wrong reasons,
ignoring plenty of right ones.
Mueller’s probe ended with a whimper, not the bang Dems wanted,
Ukrainegate their second bite of the apple to try discrediting Trump for
political advantage ahead of November 2020 elections. That’s
what Russiagate and Ukrainegate are all about.
These actions by undemocratic Dems
and their media press agents are further clear proof that Washington’s deeply corrupted political system to its rotten core is
far too debauched to fix.
Indeed, “Washington’s deeply corrupted political system to
its rotten core is far too debauched to fix” that is so true. There’s no fixing the shit that is going on
in Washington. The corrupt politicians
continue to enrich themselves at the expense of everyone else. The Spooks control our government, the

The Untold Story of the Trump-Ukraine ‘Scandal’: The Routine Corruption
of US Foreign Policy
The most crucial aspects of the
Trump-Ukraine “scandal,” which has led to impeachment proceedings against
Donald Trump, are not being told, even by Republicans. Trump was very likely motivated by politics
if he indeed withheld military aid to Ukraine in exchange for Kiev launching an
investigation into Democratic presidential frontrunner Joe Biden, though the transcript of the call released
by the White House between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelinsky does
not make certain such a quid-pro-quo.
But what’s not being talked about
in the mainstream is the context of this story, which shows that, politics
aside, Biden should indeed be
investigated in both Ukraine and in the United States.
We know from the leaked, early 2014
telephone conversation between Victoria Nuland, then assistant secretary of
state for European and Eurasian affairs, and Geoffrey Pyatt, then U.S.
ambassador to Ukraine, that then Vice
President Biden played a role in “midwifing” the U.S.-backed overthrow of an
elected Ukrainian government soon after that conversation.
That’s the biggest crime in
this story that isn’t being told. The illegal overthrow of a sovereign
government.
As booty from the coup, the sitting vice president’s son, Hunter Biden,
soon got a seat on the board of Ukraine’s biggest gas producer, Burisma
Holdings. This can only be seen as
a transparently neocolonial maneuver to take over a country and install one’s
own people. But Biden’s son wasn’t the only one.
A family friend of then Secretary of State John Kerry also joined
Burisma’s board. U.S. agricultural giant Monsanto got a Ukrainian contract soon
after the overthrow. And the first,
post-coup Ukrainian finance minister was an American citizen, a former State
Department official, who was given
Ukrainian citizenship the day before she took up the post.
After a Ukrainian prosecutor
began looking into possible corruption at Burisma, Biden openly admitted at a
conference last year that as vice president he withheld a $1 billion credit
line to Ukraine until the government fired the prosecutor. As Biden says
himself, it took only six hours for it to happen.
Exactly what Biden boasted of doing is what the Democrats are now accusing Trump of
doing, and it isn’t clear if Trump got what he wanted as Biden did.
Threats, Bribes and Blackmail.
That leads to another major part of this story
not being told: the routine way the U.S. government conducts foreign policy: with
bribes, threats and blackmail.
Trump may have withheld military
aid to seek a probe into Biden, but it
is hypocritically being framed by Democrats as an abuse of power out of the
ordinary. BUT IT IS VERY MUCH ORDINARY.
Examples abound. The threat of
withholding foreign aid was wielded against nations on the UN Security Council
in 1991 when the U.S. sought authorization for the First Gulf War. Yemen had
the temerity to vote against. A member of the U.S. delegation told Yemen’s
ambassador: “That’s the most expensive vote you ever cast.” The U.S. then cut $70 million in foreign
aid to the Middle East’s poorest nation, and Saudi Arabia repatriated about a
million Yemeni workers.

The same thing happened before the
Second Gulf War in 2003, as revealed by whistleblower Katharine Gun (who will
appear Friday night on CN Live!). Gun
leaked an NSA memo that showed the U.S. sought help from its British
counterpart in signals intelligence to spy on the missions of Security Council
members to get “leverage” over them to influence their vote to authorize the
invasion of Iraq.
In 2001 the U.S. threatened the end of military and foreign aid if
nations did not conclude bilateral agreements granting immunity to U.S. troops
before the International Criminal Court.
More recently, THE U.S. USED ITS MUSCLE AGAINST ECUADOR, INCLUDING DANGLING A $10
BILLION IMF LOAN, IN EXCHANGE FOR THE EXPULSION OF WIKILEAKS FOUNDER JULIAN
ASSANGE FROM ITS LONDON EMBASSY.
This is how the U.S. conducts
“diplomacy.”
As former UN Secretary General
Boutros Boutros Ghali wrote:
“Coming from a developing country,
I was trained extensively in international law and diplomacy and mistakenly
assumed that the great powers, especially the United States, also trained their
representatives in diplomacy and accepted the value of it. But the Roman Empire
had no need for diplomacy. Nor does the
United States. Diplomacy is perceived by an imperial power as a waste of time
and prestige and a sign of weakness.”
This fundamental corruption of U.S. foreign policy, which includes
overthrowing elected governments, is matched only by the corruption of a
political system that exalts partisan political power above all else.
Exposing this deep-seated and longstanding corruption should take precedence
over scoring partisan scalps, whether Biden’s or Trump’s.
Yes, that is where we are today. America is being dragged through an
impeachment inquiry not because President Trump did anything out of the
ordinary, but because he had the audacity to expose the hypocrisy of America’s
foreign policy. The Spooks are going
insane and are pulling out all the stops to impeach President Donald Trump
before the 2020 presidential election.
They simply cannot take a chance that Donald Trump will be
reelected. The Deep State’s presidential
candidate, the self-proclaimed Zionist Joe Biden hasn’t been able to garner
support from the American people so he has to play the victim card. The very idea that Donald Trump has to
solicit assistance from the newly elected President of Ukraine to beat the
hapless, corrupt life-long politician Joe Biden is laughable. What a crock.
Well guess what folks, Trump is a fighter. Trump used to travel in those same circles
that Biden is in, he knows the game and he’s going to fight.
It’s going to be a bare knuckle brawl and all the CIA’s
media will try to redeem the Biden crime family so hold on to your seats, it’s
going to be a bumpy ride. Let’s see who is
going to be the last man standing.
