Monday 7 Nov 2016 and earlier every mouth on the news and in the papers said it was impossible for a foreign entity to influence or hack our elections. Wednesday 9 Nov 2016 they all started reporting the ‘fact’ the Russians hacked our election to assist or ensure Trump wins the election.

Good post.

Is there a chance that Eisenhower knew an ENTIRE department, branch, or agency could be corrupted?

Whistleblowers being killed (Rich, Hastings, many others), prosecuted (10+ under Obama), disappeared (Braverman, others), or fleeing (Snowden, others) says Trump and his team have an uphill battle in cleaning the swamp.

“foreign interest openly hostile to the United States?”

There are a lot of pictures taken of obozo and Hillary chumming it up with Putin in the past 8 years. That would have happened if Russia was “openly hostile” to the US? An odd statement to make since the Cold War has been over for a number of years and democrats would be happy if they could manage to remake everything in our country a duplication of the old USSR.

“”Senator Harry Reid wrote to FBI director James Comey, “It has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisers, and the Russian government – a foreign interest openly hostile to the United States, which Trump praises at every opportunity.””

HCOGR has become a joke.

Look at House Oversights front page. Koskinan (IRS) the main picture. They have “reinitiated” impeachment proceedings on him about 5 times since July 2015.

It went up for a vote recently. If failed. He is still the headline picture.

Since then, I know for a fact that families of fallen citizens who have been killed or injured in questionable circumstances have pleaded with Oversight to do something.

I presume there are thousands of families contacting oversight, asking for investigations.

Zip. Nada.

What is clear is that US Top Secret Intelligence is being politically weaponized, which brings into question the motives of the intelligence gatherers. It isn't unlike the Iraq intelligence which led us into wrong conclusions and actions when the real "war" against radical Islam wasn't primarily in Iraq at all. The intelligence had been gathered and filtered with a preexisting paradigm in place for the purpose of a desired action.

What is scary here is that the apparent desired action existing from before the election was a hot war with Russia. All of this intelligence would have been used by a President Hillary Clinton like the Iraq intelligence in gaining support for action against Putin. Just for the hell of it, because the world is apparently safer when based on superpower conflict?

It's a good thing we people thought better of that scenario.

Hillary tried a lot of ploys as to why she lost the election. None of them stuck as well as “it was the Russians”, so that is what they are going with. Forget it, Hillary, it was you who lost, and there was a myriad of causes, but mostly the disclosures from the emails that showed who and what you are!

I like your statement, “the press has become Pravda, the government has become the party”. That is a “truism”.

"spineless" and "doormat" were appropriate for Bush

Then you are missing a critical element of intrigue, which is everything is done by design while the long game is being played out.

It's similar to the mistake the OP uses when applying the label 'leftist' to characterize Trump's opposition in the intelligence services. Leftist like the traditional progressive liberal who wants to expand state power in an attempt to ensure social equity? How does that comport with the MIC's objectives?

To understand what is actually occurring, we need to discard obsolete left/right labels. Rather, we need to focus on state vs individual. Bush was a statist - all of his so-called 'compassionate' ploys were simply moves to advance state power. Same too with 'leftists' in the IC - the ones opposing the people (as represented by Trump) care not a whit about social policy. It's all about advancing state power.

Thanks!

Continuing in the same vein, I noticed I've been hearing the word "counter-revolution" more than usual on TV over the past week or so.

You're at the point where you're just beginning to suspect your spouse is cheating on you. Soon enough, you'll be exposed to the full truth; years later a fuller perspective will develop where you'll see all the pieces.

At that point, you have two choices: be a dupe and get re-married; or (b) parlay your experience and understanding to become a player.

One day, when you see everything you laid out as the obvious truth, then you'll be able to play the system to your advantage.

The New York Post quotes a CIA official: “It’s pretty horrifying to me that he’s siding with Assange over the intelligence agencies.”
******************
The “CIA official” is likely the person in the next cubicle at the Post who is offering his opinion while sipping coffee from a “I’m with Her” mug. Assange is far more credible than a supposed anonymous CIA source that is fighting to maintain their control over the next president.

Trump nailed the CIA and Friends. Who leaked the report to NBC before I got it?

Yep - if we had a Trump President and a Sessions DOJ, Leaky Leahy would have been in jail for a long time....I believe this sort of crap will come to a grinding halt very soon.

Yes it was an inside job, the CIA and friends did it.

I also believe it was an inside job. But by the NSA, I am speculating, there are a few patriots left in government, maybe in the NSA who had had enough of the Clinton corruption.

See they would have an advantage of knowing for certain if her unprotected server risked assets in the field. If it did and I believe there are some records of this, then they would have gone ballistic over her carelessness, but couldn't say anything, so went about taking her down for good!

Sessions starts prosecuting leakers for treasonous activities....

Will he? I am so disgusted with the fearfulness of our R leaders. They seem to talk big and then wither before the press. I am hoping the D's rake him through the coals, then confirm him and he seeks sweet revenge against those who told lies about him in the hearings. They have already done it once to him, hope he has some legal "revenge" in him.
