A Conservative Resistance?

By Angelo Codevilla

FTA:
Few outside the corporate leftist media took seriously Hillary Clinton’s accusation that Donald Trump might refuse to accept defeat in the 2016 election. Though Americans’ sociopolitical divisions had already become irreconcilable, no one really believed that a major party would rebel against the voters, and hence against our constitutional republic—yet.

And yet the Democratic Party and the ruling class that it represents did just that, and decided never again to concede legitimacy to any serious opponents’ victory.

#TheResistance began as an attempt by Clinton and her staffers to explain why their unexpected electoral defeat had to be illegitimate. It burgeoned quickly into rejection of rule by voters because so many on the Left and in the ruling class rallied to it, having already decided that ordinary Americans have no right to stand in their way.

Clinton’s characterization of Trump voters as “deplorables” and “irredeemables” and Barack Obama’s description of rural Republican voters as “clingers” to Bibles, guns, and racism, has long been ruling-class conventional wisdom. This attitude is what crossed the threshold of revolution.

Because the Resistance succeeded so well in limiting the impact of the 2016 election, it solidified the Left and the ruling class’s sense of common identity and entitlement. Henceforth, the bureaucracies, the educational establishment, the judges, the corporate establishment and the media will continue to impose themselves, regardless of conservative election victories or laws, never mind the Constitution. This attitude is not the result of a policy decision, but the expression of an evolving identity.

The Resistance also portends the wholesale abandonment by the ruling class of limits in cases of electoral victories. Already we have the precedent of the Obama Administration refusing to enforce laws it disliked (defense of marriage, religious freedom restoration, illegal immigration), and ruling “with a pen and a phone” on the principle of “stop me if you can.”

With the advent of the Resistance, the ruling class merged with radical identity groups and has become dependent upon them for electoral success. Because radical blacks, third-wave feminists, LGBTQ identitarians, etc. regard most Americans as enemies, given that “intersectionality”—i.e., concurrence in wreaking vengeance upon the rest of America—is what binds these disparate groups together, a victorious Democratic Party’s extra-legal rule will be far more noxious next time around.

The above article also explains why the Dems will not win and most likely be destroyed as a viable party.

What Did Obama Know About Hezbollah’s Bomb Plot in London?

President Donald Trump’s long-anticipated visit to Europe during the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion has now come and gone. He arrived in the United Kingdom on June 3 and departed for Ireland on June 5 before hopping across the channel for the official D-Day ceremonies in France on June 6.

What I would like to draw attention to is what occurred immediately prior to Trump’s arrival in the UK, and what subsequently happened immediately after his departure.

Just prior to Trump’s visit, UK Prime Minister Theresa May announced that she would be resigning. She made this announcement on May 24 and stated that June 7 would be her last day in office. Literally one of the last things she would do as Prime Minister would be meeting with Trump.

Following Trump’s departure from Europe, it was suddenly revealed in the UK press that a massive terrorist bomb plot in London by the Iran-linked terror group, Hezbollah, had been foiled several years ago and that authorities had deliberately hidden this plot from the public.

It was in the fall of 2015 that British intelligence agency MI5 discovered a cell of Hezbollah terrorists operating in Northwest London. According to reporting by The Telegraph, the group had amassed a stockpile of more than three metric tons of ammonium nitrate, a fertilizer compound that is a popular key component in homemade bombs.

The Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 by domestic terrorist Timothy McVeigh, in which he killed 168 people while causing extensive damage to the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, involved two tons of ammonium nitrate. This Hezbollah terror cell had compiled three tons at the time they were caught. So let’s make this crystal clear: this was not going to be any kind of small-scale attack on London.

Hezbollah is not an independent terror organization. It is a fully owned and organized tool of the Iranian regime, which means Iran had a direct hand in fomenting a plot to set off a massive bomb in London.

David Reboi, an analyst at the Security Studies Group, was one of the first people to grasp the import of the revelation of the Hezbollah London Bomb Plot.

Soon after the The Telegraph broke the story, Reaboi wrote on Twitter: “This is actually a **huge** intel scandal. I’m assuming the US IC and Obama knew that, while they were pushing the Iran Deal, THERE WAS AN IRANIAN BOMB STOCKPILE IN LONDON. Politicians were NOT informed, lest they’d oppose the Deal.”

MOAR....

REPORT: Barack Obama’s Troubling “Dictator In Exile” Behavior

Regardless of whether or not you supported Barack Obama as president, what he’s doing now should not be supported by anyone regardless of their political leanings because a globalist oligarchy is a threat to the freedom and future of everyone.

FTA:
We started tracking former President, Barrack Obama’s movements over 4 months ago and frankly, I am a bit worried with what we found.

Most Americans have not had the time nor inclination to make a deep dive into how many federal agencies and employees were involved in the attempted coup of Donald Trump.

Even fewer have considered the ramifications of what such a widespread, inter-agency operation may mean to their own constitutional protections. They should care because our Republic has been gravely imperiled by these deep state actors.

If they can get away with this level of corruption with the intent to incriminate a president, what chance does an ordinary citizen have once they’re targeted?

Call it the Shadow Government, the Deep State, or the Permanent Bureaucracy, it all amounts to the same thing.

A group of indeterminate size, and virtually irremovable because of laws that protect their employment, they make the decisions about policy and who gets elected to implement those policies, not you.

Those who have been paying attention have awakened to learn that we no longer have a government “of the people, by the people, and for the people’ that our Founders envisioned.

We raise these questions after reading this report from WRAL.com:

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has received former U.S. President Barack Obama at her office in Berlin for a meeting characterized by German officials as a routine private encounter with a former international peer.

Merkel’s spokesman, Steffen Seibert, went out his way to emphasize that the chancellor has met repeatedly with ex-heads of state and government “with whom she worked together closely and well for a time.”

We should be demanding to know what was discussed during their private time together.

Seibert continued to stress that the meeting had no implications for current German-U.S. relations.

When the spokesman was asked whether Merkel and Obama were sending a signal to President Donald Trump, Seibert fired back: “I would firmly reject that impression.”

Uh, huh. Seibert doth deny too strongly.
...
Following the almost four year long alliance between the Obama administration and the Deep State to destroy his political opponent – the Deep State’s political opponent as well – why would we put anything beyond him [Obama] and his minions?

If it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck…
