My first reaction was wrong. That title is a lie or deliberately misleading. No one has been brought to justice and there’s no evidence that the coup has stopped.

Btw, Hanson, this is not a ‘scandal’. A scandal is diddling an intern in the oval office. This is a massive conspiracy of high treason.

This treason conspiracy is in the running for the most monumental story in American history— The usurpation of the Presidency by a marxist muslim America-hating faggot illlegal alien for 8 years. An enemy combatant that had 0 on his resume and 0 legal U.S. documentation.

Superb article. I’d expect no less from VDH, an excellent writer.

Hey, it’s George Washington’s Birthday — NOT Presidents’ Day — so all is forgiven.

“And of course in 1963 we had a successful coup d’état.”
Search “a bullet hole JFK” to see just how poorly done the execution of JFK was and that they got away with it!
Everybody knew.

This is a great and comprehensive article. Wish it had links to news articles when it made assertions. Then I could forward to others who aren’t well-informed about this coup.
But I have to say it is also a little depressing as i would guess that considering the MSM drumbeat the past four years I would guess that less than 5% of voters are aware of this coup and there is a solid 50% of voters that are so suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome that they will never believe it no mater what is revealed. Never.
I want to believe in IG reports and sealed indictments and military tribunals but to do so would require utter faith, ie a belief not based upon fact. Too much inertia for the MSM narrative. I’m afraid the plotters will never be acknowledged or charged or convicted. Would love to be proven wrong.

It deserves to be read out loud in the House of Representative and the US Senate before any other business is conducted...

It can be posted multiple times here and every where, each day.

My personal opinion is the purpose of the special council was to put people beyond reach, like Strok, Page, Weismann etc.

VDH is spot on again, except for his last sentence.

may these immoral people finally earn a long deserved legal and moral reckoning

Never gonna happen. The Deep State has thrown a cordon around the felons/conspirators.

So very true, Zuben Elgenubi.
And, he doesn’t disappoint with his offering, either.

A must read.

Great segment.

Hansen is a keeper.

Actually, I think he is trying to not bring us all into a state of depression.

I will disagree on “... not thugs in sunglasses and epaulettes, not oligarchs in private jets, not shaggy would-be Marxists”.

They are all the above.

They really do see themselves as rulers. They really do relish spending tax money taken from the serfs, and living and traveling lavishly around the world, further setting up alliances to further control their electorates.

The ruling elite, are predominantly socialists/communists/dictator wanna-be’s, who seek to subjugate US society to centrally controlled authoritarian/totalitarian government.

The end goal is a new global socialist government with teeth, and those elitists Marxist bureaucrats from our government, can then become insulated/untouchable global bureaucrats, no longer subject to US elections.

But this could not happen with a individually responsible, cohesive, liberty loving society. And there could be no global governance without the true super power being subordinate. And there we have it. The need to tear down all moral boundaries, belief in God, eliminate any who espouse moral boundaries, destroy the family, indoctrinate generations to hate God and America, horrifically torture and kill the most sensitive and innocent among us, neutralize the American voter with their own tax-payer bought and paid for illegal aliens, etc, etc...

This would have sounded far fetched to the untrained ear, just a couple of generations ago. However, now it is being blatantly laid out, as the anti-American, no moral boundaries left has fully indoctrinated a couple of thoroughly dumbed down Americans, and has near complete subordinate media/press/academic/entertainment surrogates.

And there is no neutral. Immorality does not plateau.

It is foolish and stupid to believe there is such a thing as content rebellion and immorality, that these would naturally control themselves. It is abject foolishness, to believe a segment of society with no moral boundaries, bent on self-gratification, which supremely seeks to pervert the pure and just, could even be content.

Anyone who believes this has not only already lost, but then serves to permit the evil!

By nature, immorality has always sought to pervert the pure. It is its chief goal!

Believing we in American society could, or can simply compromise and live side-by-side with insatiable evil, is naively impossible, because of the very nature of self-gratification, immorality, and rebellion. These will offensively be attracted to the pure, just to pervert and destroy it. This is the nature of immorality or sin.

This is what the left has relied upon, and will rely upon to achieve its goals, to subjugate society to the gods of human governance and its ever insatiable shifting human morality and greed.

William Penn said “Either men would be ruled by God, or men would be ruled by tyrants”.

Since the humanists have long been in control of our children, and have long decided to eliminate God, they have also long declared all out war on history, moral boundaries, and any who adhere to them. Since liberty itself is the result of individual responsibility, and self governance to God, well bye bye liberty. There can never be liberty in the vacuum of no moral boundaries. It will always end up being, whoever is the most ruthless and bloody wins.

And what are we seeing right now!

With at least two previous generations, in part content to stand idle, or even be complicit or afraid, we are now witnessing at least two younger generations predominantly rejecting liberty and our Constitution, in favor of socialism.

Some would say the overall general trend has been downward toward immorality and socialism since WWI. In these last few decades, it is spiraling. Now we are face to face with two largely illiterate gullible generations, which hate America and liberty, hates moral boundaries (and all who espouse them), and which seeks socialism.

At the end of the day, Hansen is correct regarding the near destruction of our government!

What William Penn warned of, is not only absolutely correct, it is happening.

We have President Trump, but we do not have education, media/press, academia, or entertainment. And God will not stay idle, while we continue to mock Him, and horrifically kill our most innocent, and pervert those who were not aborted.

It is all sobering and depressing, but we need to hit these things head-on.

The worst thing which could happen to ALL involved in this sedition and treason against our Constitution, this Coup attempt, would be for them to be allowed to walk away!

If and as this happens, the greater crime is being committed!

And we not only ensure it happens again, we signal to aggressive totalitarians, our system of liberty is not worth defending, and will not be defended!

In the near future, in such a hostile environment to our Constitution, a Constitution which stands between us and real subjugation and slavery, how do we think that will go next time!

If our Constitution is to survive, we must defend it by laying down the full extent and consequences, or we become complicit!

brilliant piece.

Hanson writes: Journalists themselves consulted with the Clinton campaign to coordinate attacks. From the Wikileaks trove, journalistic grandees such as John Harwood, Mark Leibovich, Dana Milbank, and Glenn Thrush often communicated (and even post factum were unapologetic about doing so) with John Podesta’s staff to construct various anti-Trump themes and have the Clinton campaign review or even audit them in advance.

HOWEVER, he left out some of the main FakeNewsMSM collaborators, including:

29 Feb 2016: Wikileaks Podesta emails: *Subject:* *Hi Angel and Tina — running stuff by you re Clinton/Trump story in tomorrow’s NYT*
FROM PATRICK HEALY - NEW YORK TIMES
Hi Angel, hi Tina, Hope you’re both well. Amy Chozick and I are doing a story about how the Clinton campaign and its supporters view Trump as a general election opponent and plan to run against him. The story will run in tomorrow’s paper...
President Clinton, like others, thinks that Trump has his finger on the pulse of the electorate’s mood and that only a well-financed, concerted campaign portrayed him as dangerous and bigoted will win what both Clintons believe will be a close November election...
He, Mrs. Clinton, and the campaign all agree that they will need to seize on opportunities to paint Trump as extremist and recklessly impulsive...
Happy to talk this over by email or phone before 6pm today. Thanks, Patrick

29 February 2016: NYT: Inside the Clinton Team’s Plan to Defeat Donald Trump
By Amy Chozick and Patrick Healy
But others, including former President Bill Clinton, dismissed those conclusions as denial. They said that Mr. Trump clearly had a keen sense of the electorate’s mood and that only a concerted campaign portraying him as dangerous and bigoted would win what both Clintons believe will be a close November election...
