The ‘Soft Coup’ of Russia-gate
Consortium News ^ | 13 May 2017 | Robert Parry

The Russia-gate hysteria has grown stronger after President Trump’s firing of FBI Director Comey, but the bigger question is whether an American “soft coup” is in the works

Where is Stanley Kubrick when we need him? If he hadn’t died in 1999, he would be the perfect director to transform today’s hysteria over Russia into a theater-of-the-absurd movie reprising his Cold War classic, “Dr. Strangelove,” which savagely satirized the madness of nuclear brinksmanship and the crazed ideology behind it.

To prove my point, The Washington Post on Thursday published a lengthy story entitled in the print editions “Alarm at Russian in White House” about a Russian photographer who was allowed into the Oval Office to photograph President Trump’s meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

The Post cited complaints from former U.S. intelligence officials who criticized the presence of the Russian photographer as “a potential security breach” because of “the danger that a listening device or other surveillance equipment could have been brought into the Oval Office while hidden in cameras or other electronics.”

To bolster this alarm, the Post cited a Twitter comment from President Obama’s last deputy CIA director, David S. Cohen, stating “No, it was not” a sound decision to admit the Russian photographer who also works for the Russian news agency, Tass, which published the photo.

Imagine any democrat RINO or former intel official popping their cork over the “security breach” of a Russian photographer in the WH with the Russian FM and the Russian ambassador?

The Russia-gate hysteria has grown stronger among the left wing elites after President Trump’s firing of FBI Director Comey, but the bigger question is whether an American “soft coup” is in the works.

The soft coup? Internet rumor tonight is that a secret indictment has been issued against Trump. That sounds pretty hard if true.

Parry is a communist and a conspiracy theorist. He is in it to defend Russia for his commie reasons and doesn’t give a damn about Trump.
