Obama and Russiagate: The Untold Story - Part 2 of our series on how Barack Obama undermined U.S. democracy

One of the least known aspects of the Russiagate affair is the central role that Barack Obama played in it. For years, the focus has been on individuals such as James Comey, Peter Strzok, the infamous dossier author Christopher Steele, and, of course, Hillary Clinton. And those names are indeed central to the plot, with Clinton being the one who devised the nefarious scheme to portray her opponent as a Russian agent. However, there was someone in the background, pulling many strings, who was even more crucial to the entire scheme: the then-sitting president, Barack Obama.

In this installment of our series on how Obama undermined U.S. democracy, we take a closer look at his role in both promoting and weaponizing the Russiagate hoax, which fraudulently linked Trump to Russia.

We know from emails released by WikiLeaks that early discussions regarding the Clinton campaign's dirty trick to associate Trump with Russia—what Clinton called the Swiftboat plan—were in full swing by February 2016. Over the following months, various components of this nefarious project came together. These included the hiring of campaign operatives Fusion GPS, commissioning the dirty dossier from Christopher Steele, and enlisting a group of IT specialists tasked with creating a false data trail linking Putin and Trump. We do not know whether Obama was privy to these early efforts. The earliest documented date we have for Obama’s involvement in the scheme is July 28, 2016. On this day, Obama’s CIA Director, John Brennan, came to the Oval Office and briefed Obama on Clinton's Swiftboat project. Thus, we can say with certainty that, at the very latest, it was on this day that Obama became aware that the allegations of Russian collusion were nothing more than a fraudulent scheme concocted by Hillary Clinton.

As president, voters had entrusted Obama with the solemn responsibility of keeping the United States safe and secure. For this reason, Obama had a critical duty on July 28, 2016, to promptly put an end to the fraudulent allegations of collusion with Russia. The nominee of a major political party for president being falsely portrayed as a Russian agent posed numerous national security concerns. The fact that the entire scheme had been orchestrated by his opponent, arguably constituted an even more significant national security threat. In simple terms, of the two individuals who could become president, one was falsely accused of being a Russian agent while the other was the one who had cooked up the scam.

However, consistent with the theme throughout our series on Obama, he opted for treachery instead of truth. He wanted the country to tear itself apart, which is why, instead of telling Clinton to put an end to her devious scheme or, better yet, asking his Justice Department officials to investigate her campaign for creating a national security nightmare, Obama went full steam ahead in helping to perpetuate the hoax. Within 72 hours of the Oval Office meeting, the FBI launched its fraudulent Crossfire Hurricane investigation into Trump.

It was a terrible betrayal of the American public who voted Obama into office, and the situation would only worsen. Over the coming months, the fraudulent Russia collusion investigation intensified. Numerous members of Trump’s campaign team were surveilled and monitored by the FBI. When an FBI analyst raised alarm bells about the fabricated Alfa Bank story—a tale concocted by Clinton's IT operatives to link Putin to Trump—the analyst was promptly sidelined, and the matter was handed over to more pliant agents. However, it was all to no avail. Clinton lost, and Trump was suddenly the president-elect. At this point, it was once again Obama who intervened to undermine Trump and, consequently, American democracy.

The media incessantly discusses the so-called peaceful transfer of power, lamenting that Trump refused to hand over the reins in January 2021. Leaving aside that this assertion is demonstrably false—he did transfer power and retreated to his Mar-a-Lago estate—it is often overlooked in the debate about the peaceful handover of power that it was Obama who did not peacefully hand over power in 2017. Instead, he weaponized the Russia collusion hoax to undermine the incoming Trump administration. He did so fully aware that it would jeopardize Trump's presidency, and in many ways, it indeed did. It is remarkable how much Trump accomplished despite the persistent cloud of Russia collusion allegations that loomed over him daily.

The specifics of Obama's actions are relatively straightforward, yet they are seldom discussed. Immediately after Trump won the election, Obama, in collaboration with the intelligence community, initiated an effort to publish an official report, the Intelligence Community Assessment, that would claim that Trump had only won because of Putin’s help. This strategy served two purposes. First, it absolved Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party of accountability for a humiliating defeat. Second, and far more significantly, it created a huge roadblock for the incoming Trump administration. In addition to the persistent inquiries regarding Trump’s alleged connections to Putin, which hindered the administration's ability to focus on other matters, Obama understood that his plan would effectively criminalize diplomatic relations with Russia. It was sabotage.

Trump's hands were tied. He could not engage with Russia without provoking an immediate and loud outcry from Democrats, the intelligence community, and the media. Even something as mundane as meeting the Russian ambassador—an event that would ordinarily never make the news—was immediately portrayed as an act of treason. When Trump met Putin in person, the media had a massive meltdown, even accusing Putin of secretly bugging a soccer ball that had been gifted to Trump's son, Barron. The hysteria knew no bounds, and this was catastrophic, especially given that all of this was occurring against the backdrop of escalating hostilities in Ukraine and the warming of relations between Russia and China—something that the United States should have done everything possible to prevent.

And if all of that wasn’t enough, on January 17, 2017, Obama invited a group of journalists to a secret White House meeting. A 21-page transcript, which was only recently released, reveals that Obama used this meeting to carefully plant the fraudulent Russia collusion narrative in the minds of the attending journalists.....SNIP

A very important part of Trump's mandate is to expose and establish, once and for all, the truth concerning

fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election,
Obama's birth certificate,
the claims of Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey,
January 6,
the Russian dossier cover-up,
Hillary's computer and emails,
the Kennedy assassination,
the Trump assassination attempts,
the death of Marilyn Monroe,
Roswell and other UFO's.

I do not know what the truth is concerning these things, but questions remain unanswered. I do believe that political operatives have concealed some or all of the truth about them. The remaining questions about these things should be answered and facts proven.

If the reporters of the US newsmedia practiced journalism, they would already have exposed much of the truth, perhaps all of it, by now.

OK, but I am thinking of all the stellar podcasts of young minority voters who couldn't have been more brutal to O’Bozo than if they spit in his face if they passed him on the street!

These are the people who possibly for the first time in their voting lives have dared to think outside of the box and to openly challenge (reject) the canned DNC pitch

It was heartwarming. The politically unthinkable has finally taken place!!

Also, they have seen that their input and their votes have had effect. They are now potentially Conservative voters and must be heeded by both parties ... forever!!!

“These are the people who possibly for the first time in their voting lives have dared to think outside of the box and to openly challenge (reject) the canned DNC pitch.”

Absolutely agree with your comments. But one problem I see is that these are also the same people who will be leading this nation in the next decades. They may have rejected the leftist stance this time, but they are also unseasoned, inexperienced and quite possibly are still able to be fooled by the “incredibly skilled at lying and convincing young minds” radical left.

Our side must find a way to educate these young minds about our enemies within and without... so that they can recognize propaganda any and every time they see it. They must be taught how to, and encouraged to, do their own research on such propaganda so they can successfully “vet” any such information they are fed.

This is the opposite of what the left has been pushing re: censorship of right-leaning opinions and pushing leftist opinions in the name of “combating disinformation”.... which is just the same ole commie crap strategy it has always been... and these young minds need to be made aware of those historical (and current) tactics being used.

Entities like the Hillsdale College need to be expanded and young minds must be encouraged to become knowledgeable and aware re: how government is “supposed” to work and about how enemies of our capitalist system and of our republic work tirelessly to destroy us with their various tactics.

“However, consistent with the theme throughout our series on Obama, he opted for treachery instead of truth.

Why??? More than Obama personally what happens stems from what the Communist Brennan told Obama, what he said to him and how he framed everything he said, to implicate Trump not Clinton. Obama has been a tool of the Marxists all his life.
