Dear Editor,
A year ago, in “Routing the Globalists: Rescuing the Nation-State” (The Daily Herald, June 29, 2018), I posited that the Mueller investigation was “engineered by senior officials in President Obama’s Justice Department to render the Trump Presidency untenable.” In the wake of the Mueller Report, it looks as if that was, indeed, the case.
Senior officials of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) succeeded in obtaining warrants from the FISA court for a groundless investigation, seemingly in order to frame Mr. Trump, to falsely prove him guilty of a crime: “collusion with Russia.” Those implicated in this effort appear to be persons who harbored animus towards the President and were involved in the “2016 Email Affair,” the FBI’s investigation of Mrs. Hillary Clinton, the former Secretary of State in the Obama administration, the candidate of the Democrats in the 2016 presidential election.
The groundless investigation of collusion with Russia was conceived and set in motion in order to run the new President out of office by driving down his popularity rating (manufacturing consent: a consensus) that would force him to resign, or would render him vulnerable to impeachment. This was a masterly planned and executed “coup d’État”; a crafty, duplicitous “insurance plan” designed to “[...] stop it” (Agent P. Strzok): to “stop” a Trump presidency. This is evidenced by the testimony of FBI Agent Lisa Page, a trial attorney on the Mueller team and by phone messages sent to Agent Page by Agent Peter Strzok the (now fired) former Chief of the Counterespionage Section at the FBI. The phone messages were exchanged between August 15, 2015, and December 1, 2016.
It is crucial to note and consider that Agents Strzok and Page, along with their superiors in command, Andrew McCabe and James Comey, had all been involved in the FBI’s Hillary Clinton email investigation, by all accounts a “whitewash,” a coverup that candidate Trump had riled about during the 2016 presidential campaign.
With the complicity and assistance of the media, of CNN, MSNBC and the New York Times in particular, a posse of conflicted Mueller investigators embarked on their probe. ABC, CBS, NBC, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, and multiple other news providers were also on board with the investigators. A few independent journalists and some of the reporters and commentators at Fox News were the exception. But for the crass partisanship of the media, the Mueller investigation would not have been possible. It would not have been launched. If initiated, such a groundless inquiry would have been scuttled, nipped in the bud.
It is now quite obvious that Robert Mueller, the feeble and confused “registered Republican” who was appointed Special Counsel of that investigation by a conflicted member of the cabal, was a mere figurehead. He was the perfect cover for a posse of conflicted investigators/lawyers under the real leadership of the infamous and highly conflicted Andrew Weissmann, the likely true author of the so-called “Mueller Report.” The “Weissmann Report” may be a more accurate name for the report of that fishing expedition. Investigations into the origins of the Mueller Investigation are underway. Soon, we should learn how those warrants were obtained from the FISA court, the sooner the better.
In his latest best seller Unfreedom of the Press, Mark R. Levin is spot on when he maintains that the American press has abandoned the pursuit of impartial thinking, of all notions of fairness, of integrity, of any sense of responsibility towards liberty and the civil society. Indeed, nowadays distinguishing facts from opinions, trying to present an emotionally detached view of the news, striving for some fairness and balance appear to be obsolete, mere journalistic relics. Today’s media wallow in tribalism (group think), in bias and in omission, in fake narratives (fake news); in the manufacturing of consent: propaganda and power politics.
I venture that very few politicians would have withstood the onslaught visited on this President by such a cabal of elite federal agents and conflicted investigators, aided and abetted by the manufacturers of consent: the American media. President Trump is an exceptional individual. He is also a very lucky man, for the “coup d’État” almost succeeded. It failed because the President and a handful of his supporters fought back ferociously and were able to defeat the cabal and the media in that joint effort to drive down the popularity rating of the President: to manufacture a consensus for impeachment.
Sadly, unfortunately, CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times and too many other news providers seem to have learned nothing from their participation in this failed attempt to frame a duly-elected President. They appear to be blinded by their hatred for Mr. Trump, the man and the President.
