Federal workers planning sabotage of the Trump administration
American Thinker ^ | 12 Feb, 2017 | Ed Straker

Posted on 02/12/2017 8:20:20 AM PST by MtnClimber

Conservative talk show host Mark Levin is fond of saying that when liberals win elections, they run the country, and when they lose elections, they also run the country. That's because liberals control much of the media, the judiciary, and especially the bureaucracy, regardless of who wins the election.

Bureaucrats in the federal government, unhappy with the results of the election, feel they should be the ones to decide how America is run, and they are plotting their resistance to President Trump.

At the Environmental Protection Agency, a group of scientists strategized this past week about how to slow-walk President Trump's environmental orders without being fired.

President Trump is going to have the EPA enforce fewer regulations. How do you slow-walk less enforcement? It sounds like liberal-speak for directly disobeying orders of the chief executive.

At the Treasury Department, civil servants are quietly gathering information about whistle-blower protections as they polish their résumés.

I think whistleblowing is a euphemism for leaking government information. This entire episode is in liberal-speak and requires subtitles, like a foreign film. As for the traitorous civil servants, instead of polishing their résumés, they should be packing an emergency travel bag in case they need to abruptly head to the Ecuadorian embassy for an extended stay.

Set deadlines for any work. Fail to meet the deadline — you’re out on your a$$. That’s the way the real world works.

Nixon used Kissinger (as N.S. Advisor) to do an end-run around State, as he knew State would do everything it could to circumvent his wishes. It's not the way to run a government, but it is a good way to send a message: "do what I say or you will be rendered useless".

I'd do it....

I have a cousin who worked in the federal govt (Dept of Labor) his entire career. I called him when Reagan was elected and asked if he was worried.

He laughed. “Presidents come and go, but we are always here” was his response.

Massive firing and replacement is the only solution, like Reagan did with the air traffic controllers.

Reagan faced the same problem with air traffic controllers. There followed a quick shuffle in the job market.

More evidence of liberal control. Trump sure has his work cut out for him. It is true that America voted for Trump and Republicans for control of Congress. However, that is merely the political aspect of our society. The left controls the judiciary, the movies, TV, news reports, churches, business(Zuckerberg, Soros)academia.

Ronald Reagan fired ALL of the Air Traffic Controllers and the world didn’t end.

None of these bureaucrats do anything important. Fire them en-masse. Replace the ones we need.

Anybody can be replaced.

Fire up the chainsaw for these cuts.

I keep seeing these stories of holdovers leaking, sabotaging and undermining Trump but where are the mass firings? Clinton fired Every US Attorney the first day. These people will destroy Trump if they get the chance. They need to dump as man as they legally can now.

Obama is coming out of exile—with a vengeance—said to be supported by a stealth army of some 30,000 foot soldiers, and that’s not even counting the thousands of White House and Government insiders waiting to join his army.

Top to bottom, department heads to lowest rung staffers, President Trump needs to flush out and remove massive numbers of bammy hold-overs and devotees.

This must be ongoing and continuous throughout the four and then four more years of his Administration.

Every ignored process, policy, memo, directive, every slow-walk, every statement, everything must be questioned and acted on.

If the people that are collecting their fat government paychecks out of our taxes are not at least performing according to the President's directives they should be out on the street.

The bammy-bots need to have the lesson burned into whatever few thought processes they have that they can do what they like but they will be doing it OUTSIDE of a government job during this administration.

Looks like Obama's appointees still in our govt are stealing and
communicating govt intel to him so that Obama can sabotage Trump.

How Obama is scheming to sabotage Trump’s presidency
NY Post / Paul Sperry

When former Pres Obama said he was “heartened” by anti-Trump protests, he was sending a message of approval to his troops. Troops? Yes, Obama has an army of agitators — numbering more than 30,000 — who will fight his Republican successor at every turn of his historic presidency. And Obama will command them from a bunker less than two miles from the White House.

In what’s shaping up to be a highly unusual post-presidency, Obama isn’t just staying behind in Washington. He’s working behind the scenes to set up what will effectively be a shadow government to not only protect his threatened legacy, but to sabotage the incoming administration and its popular “America First” agenda.

He’s doing it through a network of leftist nonprofits led by Organizing for Action. Normally you’d expect an organization set up to support a politician and his agenda to close up shop after that candidate leaves office, but not Obama’s OFA. Rather, it’s gearing up for battle, with a growing war chest and more than 250 offices across the country.

Since Donald Trump’s election, this little-known but well-funded protesting arm has beefed up staff and ramped up recruitment of young liberal activists, declaring on its website, “We’re not backing down.” Determined to salvage Obama’s legacy,”it’s drawing battle lines on immigration, ObamaCare, race relations and climate change.

Obama is intimately involved in OFA operations and even tweets from the group’s account. In fact, he gave marching orders to OFA foot soldiers following Trump’s upset victory.

“It is fine for everybody to feel stressed, sad, discouraged,” he said in a conference call from the White House. “But get over it.” He demanded they “move forward to protect what we’ve accomplished.”

Obama is bankrolling a nonstop protest against invented outrage

“Now is the time for some organizing,” he said. “So don’t mope.” Far from sulking, OFA activists helped organize anti-Trump marches across US cities, some of which turned into riots. After Trump issued a temporary ban on immigration from seven terror-prone Muslim nations, the demonstrators jammed airports, chanting: “No ban, no wall, sanctuary for all!”

Run by old Obama aides and campaign workers, federal tax records show “nonpartisan” OFA marshals 32,525 volunteers nationwide. Registered as a 501(c)(4), it doesn’t have to disclose its donors, but they’ve been generous. OFA has raised more than $40 million in contributions and grants since evolving from Obama’s campaign organization Obama for America in 2013.

OFA, in IRS filings, says it trains young activists to develop “organizing skills.” Armed with Obama’s 2012 campaign database, OFA plans to get out the vote for Democratic candidates it’s grooming to win back Congress and erect a wall of resistance to Trump at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue.

It will be aided in that effort by the Obama Foundation, run by Obama’s former political director, and the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, launched last month by Obama pal Eric Holder to end what he and Obama call GOP “gerrymandering” of congressional districts.

Obama will be overseeing it all from a shadow White House located within two miles of Trump. It features a mansion, which he’s fortifying with construction of a tall brick perimeter, and a nearby taxpayer-funded office with his own chief of staff and press secretary. Michelle Obama will also open an office there, along with the Obama Foundation. The 55-year-old Obama is not content to go quietly into the night like other ex-presidents

Critical to the fight is rebuilding the ravaged Democrat Party. Obama hopes to install his former civil-rights chief Tom Perez at the helm of the Democratic National Committee.

Perez is running for the vacant DNC chairmanship, vowing “It’s time to organize and fight . We must standup to protect President Obama’s accomplishments;” while also promising, “We’re going to build the strongest grass-roots organizing force this country has ever seen.”

The 55-year-old Obama is not content to go quietly into the night like other ex-presidents. “You’re going to see me early next year,” he said after the election, “and we’re going to be in a position where we can start cooking up all kinds of great stuff.” Added the ex-president: “Point is, I’m still fired up and ready to go.”

Paul Sperry is the author of “The Great American Bank Robbery,” which details the link between race-based housing policies and the mortgage crisis.

The Bank Secrecy Act should be mobilized----to follow the paper trail and determine how Obama's Organizing for Action's monies changed hands; to determine the scope and dimension of collusion in sub rosa deals and who might be personally profiting.

<><> L/E needs to examine Obama's Organizing for Action's bank accounts.

<><> Joint OFA bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer of funds from one account to another, and/or wire-transferred offshore;

<><> To cover his tracks, fake invoices might be created to show that OFA money deposited into accounts was being used for legitimate purposes.

<><> Financial schemes scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments from financial sources that actually covered the transfer of funds for insiders' personal use and/or for redistribution schemes.

===============================================

NOTE WELL Under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity indicative of money laundering and other financial crimes. “The Bank Secrecy Act was enacted to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting money laundering from criminal enterprises, terrorism, tax evasion or other unlawful activities,” the special agent in charge for Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, explained.

Shady banking transactions could be prosecuted under the (1) Bank Secrecy ACT, (2) RICO, and, (3) the Hobbs Act.

============================================= '

<><> L/E should get ahold of: (1) copies of Obama's Organizing for Action's checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including snail mail, e-mail, mobile devices, cell phones, (8) contracts, (9) loan agreements, (10) other account books or official records.

L/E should also explore (a) monies OFA paid to brokers, sub- brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.

<><> L/E should scrutinize OFA bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.

<><> Bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC accounts, to money launder and to operate personal ventures;

Tax fraud may also be a factor, facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intra-bank transfers from legal bank accounts into personal accounts, or redistribution schemes.

<><> A huge tipoff is whether bank withdrawals support and luxurious lifestyle including payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, jewelry, luxury vehicles, resort travel....... and gifts from luxury outlets.

==============================================

FBI TIPS PAGE--YOU MAY REMAIN ANONYMOUS ---https://tips.fbi.gov

SUBJECT: Collusion, conspiracy, bribery
IN RE: financial irregularities
REFERENCE: govt fraud, falsified documents, wire transfers, accounting fraud, etc.

NARRATIVE Taxpayers demand to know the scope and dimension of multiple conspiracies to collude in sub rosa deals to personally profit and/or to facilitate the financing of terrorism.

OF INTEREST TO LAW ENFORCEMENT-----The FBI should interrogate Obama and OFA staff for evidence of multiple schemes to falsify official documents to further fraudulent schemes, and the filing of official documents that were falsified. The FBI should investigate any and all official documents submitted for falsified entries.

Crimes might include--govt fraud, conspiracy, collusion, falsifying official documents (a felony), money laundering, tax evasion, extortion, theft, misuse of public facilities.

Examine tax returns with a fine-tooth comb.....particularly entries for "interest income."

If the Fed employees “turn against” Trump too, and do what the article says, I don’t see how Trump can govern at all, and he will in fact fail. Then of course he will be blamed for the failure. We had such high hopes, I don’t know how we will surmount all the subterfuge going on.

For anyone with a little free time(and a sense of humor), I would recommend you obtain a copy of the BBC series Yes Minister and the follow-up series Yes Prime Minister. While this comedy series is set in the 1980's, it is a good satirical look at entrenched bureaucratic government. It is usually available in public libraries.

Ronald Reagan fired ALL of the Air Traffic Controllers and the world didn’t end.

I remember seeing those idiots picketing, as though that was going to compel Reagan to reverse course. IIRC, he gave them the opportunity to return to their jobs, but they refused. They abandoned their positions and were replaced. Oops, Ron wasn't bluffing.

The EPA idiots will come to realize the same about Trump. It'll be fun to watch.
