Silent Coup , Soft Coup - Obama's Legacy

The Obama admin's soft coup is now a matter of public record yet the media MUST ignore that white elephant in the room since they were active participants . So many lies and leaks were required to accomplish this goal some were bound be be exposed. Lets define a soft coup.

From Wikipedia

A soft coup that manifested itself in different ways. Disguised and distorted but in full view. Watching some of it over time has been fascinating.

The Flynn documents and the 'Russia collusion' transcripts are further eye openers. The first and best hidden gem from the transcripts. There is no proof the Russians hacked the DNC servers.  

A little more background on Crowdstrike and their connections to the Clinton/DNC machine.

Not only were the claims of Russia hacking the DNC never proven much more evidence indicates the DNC information was leaked.




Not only was the Russia hacking story BS, the Democrats and their media allies would continue the Clinton campaign strategy of attacking Trump on Russia but now the story would be Trump-Putin collusion. To make that connection stick Trump associates like Michael Flynn would be targeted next.

Podesta email

Target Flynn using dangerous and dirty leaks requiring top level access and authority

Yet with all of the spying, the Obama admin and the alphabet agencies really found NOTHING.

Not only was Flynn railroaded but it appears to be at the behest of Barack Obama.

Corrupt FBI agants like Peter Strzok abuse his office and the FISA process. Footsoldiers in the Flynn Flim Flam.

FBI agents with FISA court connections would help .... Even better a personal connection with Michael Flynn's judge, a daily double.

The same FBI agent Peter Strzok who made it possible for Hillary Clinton to avoid espionage charges and was placed on the Mueller probe too .....

Of course, the FBI can be a little and conveniently and curiously careless too ....

Glad tne Inspector General could find them

Along with spying and lying comes leaking. The top FBI agents helped leak and spin the story.

The Steele dossier made the FISA warrants poosible agains the Trump campaign. Making the phoney Steele dossier public was the job of CIA's John Brennan and the Democrat Senator Harry Reid.

The discredited dossier, some hacks still argue it is 'proven' 

Sen. Harry Reid and Dem Leadership were in on the LIEs pushed by CIA's Brennan

The despicable GOP Senator John McCain was another peddler of lies known as FusionGPS's Steele dossier. 

Consider this Cliff's Notes on the lies knows as Russia Russia Russia and the media's eagerness to parrot the anti-Trump narrative for years. Barack the abuser of power and process is not aa acceptable narrative thus paving the way for Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton to continue to get a pass as well. If this is news to you you might want to change your news channel. 

Inspector General Testimony on FBI Abuse of Power Against Trump Gets Little Media Attention

If you are reading or watching network news that hasn't mentioned FISA abuse and misdeeds by the FBI and DOJ to sabotage the candidacy and presidency of Donald Trump you are misinformed at best.  Lost in the impeach Trump hype that relies heavily on your Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) are the facts being revealed by the DOJ Inspector General. These facts shine some light on the bureaucratic or 'soft coup' that occurred in the run up to election 2016 and the interference with the peaceful transition of power. the FBI's James Comey and his underlings won't be held accountable for their skulduggery. A sampling of the deep state sabotage of President Trump and his administration follow in a series of screenshots.

Some of the players and their misdeeds

 Embarrassing texts from the FBI won't see the light of day

The FBI knew Gen Michael Flynn did nothing wrong but targeted him anyway

But the FBI's Strzok and Page have friends in other high places, such as the FISA court

FISA judge Rudy Contreras was removed from the Flynn case. 

The Trump Russia collusion lie has many moving parts but smearing Gen. Michael Flynn was helpful in establishing the false collusion narrative

The KEY piece of 'intel' used to target Trump and his admin was the salacious and unverified 'Steele dossier' provided by FusionGPS.

As usual, follow the money.

FusionGPS played a key part in the 'Trump Tower meeting'. A setup.

The anti-Trump media played their part with the help of the dirty cops at the FBI

Of course the soft ooup involved the CIA. John Brennan also played his part.

After the Mueller Report landed with a thud for the Democrats, their media allies will do anything to distract from the previous shenanigans. This distraction can only work if they keep the findings of  Inspector General Horowitz out of the news.  So far they have been successful.  So here is the recent Congressional testimory by the IG and some initial findings that he can disclose.

The Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz details gross misconduct by officials at the Federal Bureau of Investigation who first spun the long debunked Trump-Russia “collusion” and “obstruction” narrative pushed by the Democrats, their operatives and allies in the media.

Richard Armitage Leaked CIA Agent Plame's ID Yet the Scooter Libby Myth Continues

@TheHill Tweets

In fact, this narraitve is false and surprisingly continues to this day. The best part is the article doesn't back up the headline or summary.  First, the article from @TheHill

President Trump is expected to pardon Scooter Libby, the former chief of staff to then-Vice President Dick Cheney, ABC News reported Thursday. 

The president has reportedly already signed off on the pardon for Libby, who was convicted in 2007 for lying to the FBI and obstructing justice in the investigation into who leaked the identity of ex-CIA agent Valerie Plame. 

Multiple people claimed that Libby leaked Plame's identity to them after he had publicly stated he was not the source of the information. 

Former President George W. Bush commuted Libby’s subsequent 30-month prison sentence, but did not pardon him.

Libby would mark Trump’s second pardon of a controversial figure since he took office.
He pardoned former Sheriff Joe Arpaio last August after the former Maricopa County, 

Ariz., sheriff had been found guilty of contempt of court after a Justice Department investigation found he racially profiled Latinos. 

The New York Times also reported late last month that John Dowd, Trump's former lawyer, discussed with the president last year the possibility of pardoning two former associates who have been caught up in special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election. 

The White House said in response that there has been no consideration or discussion of pardons "at this time."

What a hard hitting article except for the part no evidence he was convicted for leaking the ID of Plame. Just a simple Google search of Richard Armitage and Robert Novak would yield the truth .

Amazing that the Blame Bush and Bash Trump stories still leak into the press so easily.

#UniteTheRight - How did Ukrainian Nazi Imagery End Up in Charlottesville VA ?

Once upon a time during the Barack Obama administration there were some Ukrainian Svoboda Nazis that Hillary Clinton's State Department backed during the 2013 coup in Ukraine. They liked parade by torch light and chanting 'blood and soil'. In fact, their red and black flag means just that.

Update 8/24 : Lee Stranahan with the story:

So, how do these images end up in Charlottesville VA ?

Politifact's Laughable 'Fact Check' After NY Times Retraction

Without any further introduction, Poltifact summed up in their own tweet.

Fact check: At this point, what difference do the numbers make?  That seems to sound a lot like the candidate they basically supported in the last election, Hillary Clinton.  

Maybe we should listen to James Clapper, The former Director of National Intelligence. 

After the NY Times buries their correction, Politifact has to pretend that the number doesn't really matter because of the moderate confidence in the assessment.

Strange how Poltifact is echoing the New York Times as the truth, NOT James Clapper ?

One of the most important things to remember about the whole Trump Russia collusion narrative was one FACT. It was ALWAYS A LIE REPEATED BY THE DEMOCRATS.  A lie meant to sabotage Trump's presidency all the while heightening tensions with Russia with sanctions and more. Let the Senator from Iowa Explain:

Should you find it odd that the DNC never turned their 'hacked server' over to the FBI for examination?

What about the murder of the DNC leaker Seth Rich ?

A tweet that ages well .......

The Russians did it? Still drinking the Democrat Kool Aid?

Obama Lies Again, Sends Boots on the Ground to Syria

The Obama administration with Barack at the helm broke the middle east , with the debacles in Iraq, Libya and Syria topping the list.  A list that you really won't see published because the media in America have always protected  Barack Obama and his administration and will until he leaves office.

 This administration armed Al Qaeda and ISIS in Syria, via a ratline of weapons from Benghazi and embarrassed themselves by drawing a mythical red line in the Syrian sand for Assad.  Syria, where this administration has said they will NOT put 'boots on the ground' 

Boots on the ground, like the troops Obama brought home from Iraq to keep his promise. Boots on the ground he quickly sent back in increasing numbers AFTER the election .  An election the media helped Obama win by aiding the cover-up of the attack on the ILLEGAL special mission compound in Benghazi, Libya.  Libya, a country that this administration helped overthrow and a country that is now a haven for ISIS and others. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton built that.  

Did someone say ISIS ..... the non-Islamic JAYVEE TEAM ?

Now, from TheHill......

Pentagon denies mission creep in Syria deployment

By Rebecca Kheel - 04/25/16 03:54 PM EDT

The Pentagon pushed back Monday afternoon against criticism that deploying 250 troops to Syria constitutes mission creep in the fight against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), saying the deployment is needed to meet current requirements. 

“These are specific capabilities ... specific needs right now as we talk to our partners,” Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook told reporters. “And including our assessment, talking to local leaders on the ground in Syria, these are decisions that we think makes sense to accelerate this campaign and to further enable those local forces.” 

"This is not a question of putting in thousands of American forces to wage this fight,” he later added. “We are looking to others to carry this fight out but to do what we can to support them.” 

President Obama announced Monday he had authorized sending another 250 troops to Syria. Previously, just 50 special operations troops were in the country. 

Monday’s news, coupled with the Pentagon’s announcement last week that about 200 more troops will be sent to Iraq, has led to lawmakers from both parties slamming the administration’s incremental increase in the number of troops being sent to the region. 

Republicans say more are needed, and Democrats argue the gradual increases risk drawing the United States deeper into the conflicts. 

Troops in Syria will not be on the front lines, Cook said, echoing the president.
Rather, their role will be to connect with, train and assist local forces, and provide intelligence from the ground, Cook said. 

The Pentagon expects the troops to act similarly to the original 50 special operations forces sent in, he added. 

“Force multipliers is the best way to look at this,” he said. “A small number of Americans with these kinds of capabilities can bring an enormous weight to bear in this fight and in support of these forces. And those forces who have come into contact and worked with U.S. forces, I think would attest to that.” 

In additional to special operations forces, the 250 troops will include medical and logistical personnel, Cook said. 

The administration settled on 250 on the recommendation of military commanders, Cook said.
Cook did not rule out the possibility of sending more troops to Iraq or Syria down the line.

“We're going to continue to look at every single opportunity we have, work with our local partners, to see how we can accelerate this campaign,” he said. “As you have seen from these specific — very specific — deployments and decisions, that what we're looking at here is specific capabilities.”

What a great article on mission creep, wasn't it ?  How could they talk about mission creep without ANY mention of saying there would never be boots on the ground ?

Take a look at the nuanced language used by the Nobel Peace prize winning anti-war President's team......

State shocker: Obama never promised 'no boots' in Syria
(Excerpt)

The State Department's top spokesman insisted Monday that the Obama administration has never promised a "no boots on the ground" strategy in Syria, even though President Obama himself has made the "no boots" promise several times over the last few years.  

"There was never this 'no boots on the ground,'" spokesman John Kirby said Monday. "I don't know where this keeps coming from." 

Surprised reporters noted that numerous senior officials, and even Obama himself, have said over and over that there would be "no boots" in Syria. Last year, USA Today put together a list of the 16 times Obama made the "no boots" pledge.

Kirby was pressed on the issue just hours after the Obama administration announced that 250 more special operations troops to Syria, in addition to the 50 that were sent in October.

Reporters said the 300 total troops seems to violate Obama's pledge. But Kirby said anyone who thinks the Obama administration is breaking its pledge doesn't fully understand what Obama and others meant when they said "boots on the ground." 

Specifically, Kirby said the administration has always meant "boots" to mean large-scale forces. 

Here is the list.......
16 times Obama said there would be no boots on the ground in Syria

Here is just ONE:

Interview with the PBS Newshour, Sept. 9, 2013 

"Tomorrow I'll speak to the American people. I'll explain this is not Iraq; this is not Afghanistan; this is not even Libya. We're not talking about — not boots on the ground. We're not talking about sustained airstrikes. We're talking about a very specific set of strikes to degrade his chemical weapons capabilities in terms of delivery."

Strange, we aren't talking about Libya either where there were no 'boots on the ground'  What did 'no boots on the ground mean in 2011 ? 

Robert Gates: No US 'boots on ground' in Libya
(excerpt)

Robert Gates, the US secretary of defence, emphatically ruled out deploying American ground troops inside Libya as details emerged of CIA intelligence teams being sent to the country. 

Gates, testifying before the House of Representatives armed services committee, repeatedly denied that there were any plans for American soldiers to go into Libya. "Not as long as I am in this job," he said at one point. 

But he declined to comment on questions about CIA activities there, apparently making the distinction between intelligence teams sent into Libya and uniformed military personnel. "I can't speak to any CIA activities, but I will tell you that the president has been quite clear that in terms of the United States military there will be no boots on the ground," Gates said.

------
Boots on the ground means soldiers in uniform now and in 2011. This administration has been given a pass by its hypocritical supporters and encouraged to lie to the public because Obama and his administration will NEVER be held accountable by the fourth estate. The fourth estate are now little more than propagandists and  pamphleteers for the Democratic party

Did I forget to mention Barack Obama's war in Syria is illegal ..... ? ? ? 
Barack Obama's Illegal Covert War in Syria

 The following article appeared in Politico on June 22,2014. While Barack Obama will never be held accountable for any malfeasance, malpractice or major miscalculations by the biased media, the sixth year into the Obama administration means Blaming Bush no longer works.  After 6 Years, the President cannot hide from HIS record and the current results of HIS actions and reactions /

The Man Who Broke the Middle East

By ELLIOTT ABRAMS

June 22, 2014

There’s always Tunisia. Amid the smoking ruins of the Middle East, there is that one encouraging success story. But unfortunately for the Obama narratives, the president had about as much as to do with Tunisia’s turn toward democracy as he did with the World Cup rankings. Where administration policy has had an impact, the story is one of failure and danger.

The picture has been modified for editorial purposes  ..... 

The Middle East that Obama inherited in 2009 was largely at peace, for the surge in Iraq had beaten down the al Qaeda-linked groups. U.S. relations with traditional allies in the Gulf, Jordan, Israel and Egypt were very good. Iran was contained, its Revolutionary Guard forces at home. Today, terrorism has metastasized in Syria and Iraq, Jordan is at risk, the humanitarian toll is staggering, terrorist groups are growing fast and relations with U.S. allies are strained.

How did it happen? Begin with hubris: The new president told the world, in his Cairo speech in June 2009, that he had special expertise in understanding the entire world of Islam—knowledge “rooted in my own experience” because “I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed.” But President Obama wasn’t speaking that day in an imaginary location called “the world of Islam;” he was in Cairo, in the Arab Middle East, in a place where nothing counted more than power. “As a boy,” Obama told his listeners, “I spent several years in Indonesia and heard the call of the azaan at the break of dawn and the fall of dusk.” Nice touch, but Arab rulers were more interested in knowing whether as a man he heard the approaching sound of gunfire, saw the growing threat of al Qaeda from the Maghreb to the Arabian Peninsula, and understood the ambitions of the ayatollahs as Iran moved closer and closer to a bomb. 

Obama began with the view that there was no issue in the Middle East more central than the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Five years later he has lost the confidence of both Israeli and Palestinian leaders, and watched his second secretary of state squander endless efforts in a doomed quest for a comprehensive peace. Obama embittered relations with America’s closest ally in the region and achieved nothing whatsoever in the “peace process.” The end result in the summer of 2014 is to see the Palestinian Authority turn to a deal with Hamas for new elections that—if they are held, which admittedly is unlikely—would usher the terrorist group into a power-sharing deal. This is not progress. 

The most populous Arab country is Egypt, where Obama stuck too long with Hosni Mubarak as the Arab Spring arrived, and then with the Army, and then the Muslim Brotherhood President Mohammed Morsi, and now is embracing the Army again. Minor failings like the persecution of newspaper editors and leaders of American-backed NGOs, or the jailing of anyone critical of the powers-that-be at a given moment, were glossed over. When the Army removed an elected president, that was not really a “coup”—remember? And as the worm turned, we managed to offend every actor on Egypt’s political stage, from the military to the Islamists to the secular democratic activists. Who trusts us now on the Egyptian political scene? 

No one.

But these errors are minor when compared to those in Iraq and Syria. When the peaceful uprising against President Bashar al-Assad was brutally crushed, Obama said Assad must go; when Assad used sarin gas, Obama said this was intolerable and crossed a red line. But behind these words there was no American power, and speeches are cheap in the Middle East. Despite the urgings of all his top advisers (using the term loosely; he seems to ignore their advice)—Panetta at CIA and then Defense, Clinton at State, Petraeus at CIA, even Dempsey at the Pentagon—the president refused to give meaningful assistance to the Syrian nationalist rebels. Assistance was announced in June 2013 and then again in June 2014 (in the president’s West Point speech) but it is a minimal effort, far too small to match the presence of Hezbollah and Iranian Quds Force fighters in Syria. Arabs see this as a proxy war with Iran, but in the White House the key desire is to put all those nasty Middle Eastern wars behind us. So in the Middle East American power became a mirage, something no one could find—something enemies did not fear and allies could not count on. 

The humanitarian result has been tragic: At least 160,000 killed in Syria, perhaps eight million displaced. More than a million Syrian refugees in Lebanon (a country of four million people, before Obama added those Syrians), about a million and a quarter Syrian refugees in Jordan (population six million before Obama). Poison gas back on the world scene as a tolerated weapon, with Assad using chlorine gas systematically in “barrel bombs” this year and paying no price whatsoever for this and for his repeated attacks on civilian targets. Both of the key officials handling Syria for Obama—State Department special envoy Fred Hof and Ambassador Robert Ford—resigned in disgust when they could no longer defend Obama’s hands-off policy. Can Samantha Power be far behind, watching the mass killings and seeing her president respond to them with rhetoric?  

The result in security terms is even worse: the largest gathering of jihadis we have ever seen, 12,000 now and expanding.They come from all over the world, a jihadi Arab League, a jihadi EU, a jihadi U.N. Two or three thousand are from Europe, and an estimated 70 from the United States. When they go home, some no doubt disillusioned but many committed, experienced and well trained, “home” will be Milwaukee and Manchester and Marseille—and, as we see now on the front pages, to Mosul. When Obama took office there was no such phenomenon; it is his creation, the result of his passivity in Syria while Sunnis were being slaughtered by the Assad regime.
