FIRST STRIKE TO THE BLACK STATE

Several accounts have surfaced to suggest something far more sinister may be going on: a creeping coup against the president by the “deep state,” the intelligence officials and the rest of the permanent administrative class, of which the Flynn ouster was just the start.

The Deep State - Black State - uses word hints like 'Trump needs to pivot' toward them... It's NOT that Trump doesn't hear the corrupt ones - it's that he's intentionally choosing NOT to join with them in their battle against the American people. We know them by their words... they use the same ones... We know them by their actions... and lies.

Melanie Phillips is another plummy-voiced Brit who works out of her home in London and lately makes videos with a teenage American who asks her questions about Trump and American politics. Strange, to say the least. Her beat is usually Jewish/Israeli stuff.

Lying article.

[Logical me]

Fake news.

[gaijin]

Agree 101%

I think the actual "turmoil" is not so much the President Trump staff, but that the left believes they were totally responsible for Flynn's resigning which is absolutely false.

Once again, actual facts are not even slowing down the neo-communist coalition of evil and they are unfettered in their desperate victory dance over Flynn.

Here vhttp://melaniephillips.com/the-unthinkable-prospect/ it is clear she totally supports President Trump as well as absolutely nails the left.

But here’s the thing. In both Britain and America, something is crashing and burning right now. It’s called the democratic left. Both Britain’s Labour party and America’s Democratic party are in disarray. Caught flat-footed by Brexit and Trump, they have absolutely no idea what do do to regroup. The reason is they have turned people off in droves. And they still don’t understand why.

And from the same article...

Something similar happened in the US. There people rose up against a political and intellectual elite in favour of someone who spoke directly to their interests and promised to keep his word to them. He has now indicated that he will act against this elite in many ways, including withdrawing presidential patronage and funding. This threatens to cut them off at the knees.

In their desperation, opponents of Brexit and Trump have ramped up the rhetoric of demonisation along with street protests as an alternative form of legitimacy. But the more they resort to these deeply questionable tactics, the more they will reinforce the Brexiteers and Trump voters in their certainty that they got their decision right. And the more they will also persuade more undecided voters that, much as they may dislike Trump and worry about Brexit, the other lot are far worse.

So, I don't know what is up with that headline about "turmoil."

Snaring readers?

A former CIA operative named Bob Steele stated that a portion of Flynn’s call with the Russians touched on the pedophile allegations against a man who turns out to be a very close Boyhood friend of Vice President Pence.

This is more believable to me than the official version because the official version stinks.

[McGavin999]

I think it was a mutually agreed upon decision because Flynn perceived he was a distraction and would continue to be. I think the most important thing to Mike Flynn is the success of the DJT presidency

Flynn’s offence lay in failing to inform Vice President Pence that Flynn might have discussed with the Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, sanctions against Russia imposed by the Obama administration. As a result, Pence mistakenly told CBS News that no such discussion had taken place.

No doubt that's what happened, but...

I keep wondering, what if it was Pence who misspoke on CBS and the mistake was his, not Flynn's?

Either way, Flynn would have to go in order to save the VP Pence.

Whatever the case may be, Team Trump is not going to lose on this deal.

They are turning the loss into a win by using it to out the leakers here, there, and everywhere, while further increasing the public's justifiable distrust in the one stream media's version of the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Impressive.

media hype...good thing few people watch and listen to them. My wife watches the news until Scott Pelly, who looks like he has been sucking on lemons, comes on.

[SkyPilot]

The author of this piece asks a lot of questions and answers and none of them.

[Impy]

He was targeted, obviously.

But it’s still his fault he’s gone. He shouldn’t have mislead the Vice President. Hard to justify how that can be tolerated.

[Karliner]

well, we just don’t know enough of what happened. Not trying to put a band aid on this it’s just a lot of speculation about secret stuff.

[Pirate Ragnar]

Google Melanie Phillips = Lefty

[pluvmantelo]

You might look into Ms. Phillips. She authored an important book called Lodonistan. She is NOT a staff writer for the JP.

[SJackson]

Problem was: Flynn started to drain the swamp. And yes, there are things happening that would shock a FReeper.

I do think that was a big part of the problem. Which imo was a reason to keep him.

They certainly don’t take the loss of an election well.

Pretty funny !

[rusureitflies?]

I will do that. Thanks

[sit-rep]

I cant tell if the author liked to hear himself talk or is in line for extra credit on an English exam... he could have said the same thing in three paragraphs

[rusureitflies?]

Melania Phillips seems to be unbiased. Is she in Trump’s (America’s) best interest? Right now almost all media is suspect.I am still looking for hidden agendas. Good reporters still are controlled be their editors. Who finances these media outlets? Many mix lies with truth and it’s up to us to discern which is what...Thanks again for your insight and Keep the Faith.
