Paul Craig Roberts Warns "A CIA-led Coup Against American Democracy Is Unfolding Before Our Eyes"
ZeroHedge.com ^ | 17 December 2016 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 12/18/2016 6:46:57 AM PST by Rockitz

Authored by Paul Craig Roberts,

This article by Moon of Alabama is not conspiracy theory: Read it carefully. Check out the links.

The below theses are thus far only a general outlay... ◦There is an "elite" coup attempt underway against the U.S. President-elect Trump.

◦The coup is orchestrated by the camp of Hillary Clinton in association with the CIA and neoconservative powers in Congress.

◦The plan is to use the CIA's "Russia made Trump the winner" nonsense to swing the electoral college against him. The case would then be bumped up to Congress. Major neocon and warmonger parts of the Republicans could then move the presidency to Clinton or, if that fails, put Trump's vice president-elect Mike Pence onto the throne. The regular bipartisan war business, which a Trump presidency threatens to interrupt, could continue.

◦Should the coup succeed violent insurrections in the United States are likely to ensue with unpredictable consequences.

No general plan has been published. The scheme though is pretty obvious by now. However, the following contains some speculation.

The priority aim is to deny Trump the presidency. He is too independent and a danger for several power centers within the ruling U.S. power circles. The selection of Tillerson as new Secretary of State only reinforces this (Prediction: Bolton will not get the Deputy position.) Tillerson is for profitable stability, not for regime change adventures.

The institutional Trump enemies are:

◦The CIA ...

◦The weapons industry ...

◦The neoconservatives and Likudniks ...

◦The general war hawks, military and "humanitarian interventionists" ...

Why would Brennan get involved in this? How has he convinced Comey?

Let them try. This would be very bad for their health. Hanging for treason would once again be fashionable.

Wait a minute.

Remember the former CIA guy who insisted there was a Hillary coup, and then a counter-coup within the CIA before the election?

And the counter-coup in the CIA was gonna release all kinds of bad stuff on Hillary that would do her in?

Fake news is everywhere. Beware.

Paul Craig Roberts & Zero Hedge...

You might as well ask a high school creative writing class for a story.

Brennan put out a memo to CIA employees saying he convinced Comey.

And what else would Hillary do with the $2 Billion she raised? Bribing electors won’t take much of her stash.

And after Trump gets 305 of his 306 electoral votes tomorrow, what will be the next revolution causing conspiracy? Jeez, they have been predicting doom and gloom since 10 minutes after Trump announced his intent to run for President. They haven’t been accurate on a single issue, but that sure doesn’t stop them.

I don't believe Comey’s on board. Seems the CIA is stretching the truth...or more bluntly... lying.

Everyone in government has their own bias just as we citizens do. I have no doubt that people opposed to Hillary Clinton are just as fed up with all her nonsense as we are.

I think that there are powerful forces within the government that are at odds with each other - power struggle going on behind the scenes. Just pray that the good guys win this war.

#6_ Well, the Control-Left Media (CLM) has been trained at the footstool of Dan Rather.

Look at how old Dan Rather sourced his material.

Indeed. If I am reading the fine points of tomorrow’s Electoral vote correctly, the votes go into an envelope or box and aren’t counted by the state. So until January 6, when these envelopes are opened in DC and counted, we can look forward to a new direction for the lies and insinuations that the vote hasn’t really gone to Trump, that this state or these electors told somebody who told somebody, blah blah.

After eight years Obama’s commissars have control of all Federal agencies including the CIA. The coming purge will need to be comprehensive and merciless.

Me, too. Comey caused untold numbers of HRC fair-weather voters to stay home. Thanks, Jim.

Ditto. He does tend to sail too close to the wind much of the time.

I've no doubt that leftist lifers in the CIA and State Dept would very much like to pull off a coup. I don't believe they have the capability or the stones to do it.

You are talking about Dr. Steve Pieczenik... The real life Jack Ryan in other words.

I found Dr. Steve Pieczenik to be correct while guys like Brennan wrong. He’s just way ahead of most people. It’s why he served 5 U.S. Presidents (Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan and the 1st Bush), and why Tom Clancy liked him.

Dr. Paul Craig Roberts is considered a top economist in the world and is the father of Reaganomics.

Anyway, Dr. Pieczenik along with Roger Stone say Trump will get it tomorrow.

Dr. Paul Craig Robert is probably going off what Larry Nichols said. Larry tends to be right as crazy as it may sound.

I think Larry’s and Paul’s strategy is to talk about it. That way it does not happen. I think they both worry about being overconfident.

Did Barack Obama Vote Communist in 1980? With a CIA director like his, why not?

http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3505588/posts

fascinating tidbit was reported by CNN: Barack Obama’s CIA director, John Brennan, recently reminisced about being asked a standard question for a security clearance in his early days applying to the agency: Had he ever worked with or for a group that was dedicated to overthrowing the United States of America? Of course, one group dedicated to overthrowing America had been Lenin’s group, Stalin’s group, Khrushchev’s group, Brezhnev’s group — Communist Party USA.

Yeah, but that couldn’t have any relevance here, right?
Think again. Brennan certainly did. He thought soberly.
“I froze,” Brennan recalled, as he shared the moment at the annual conference of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation. “This was back in 1980, and I thought back to a previous election where I voted, and I voted for the Communist Party candidate.”

Really? That must have raised an eyebrow even among the Congressional Black Caucus, some members of which are to the left of Gus Hall, Communist Party USA’s longtime general secretary.

Remember ol’ Gus? Sure. He ran for president on the Communist Party ticket in the 1970s and 1980s, along with his delightful veep, angry Angela Davis — who, incidentally, is no stranger to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation.

Speaking of comrade Gus, Obama’s CIA director continued in precisely that direction:

“I froze, because I was getting so close to coming into CIA and said, ‘OK, here’s the choice, John. You can deny that, and the machine [lie detector] is probably going to go, you know, wacko, or I can acknowledge it and see what happens.” Thus, John Brennan told his questioner (and the lie-detector machine): “I said I was neither Democratic or Republican, but it was my way, as I was going to college, of signaling my unhappiness with the system, and the need for change. I said I’m not a member of the Communist Party, so the polygrapher looked at me and said, ‘OK,’ and when I was finished with the polygraph and I left and said, ‘Well, I’m screwed.’”

Apparently, Brennan passed. He soon got his acceptance notice from the CIA.

Said Brennan: “So if back in 1980, John Brennan was allowed to say, ‘I voted for the Communist Party with Gus Hall’ … and still got through, rest assured that your rights and your expressions and your freedom of speech as Americans is something that’s not going to be disqualifying of you as you pursue a career in government.”

Hence, there you go: John Brennan voted for Gus Hall. Our CIA director — Obama’s CIA director — voted for Gus Hall, presumably in 1976 or 1980 or both (he was first eligible to vote in ’76).

Worse, he also seemed to say (it isn’t entirely clear) that he was actually a member of the Communist Party, which would be especially remarkable. Voting for the Communist Party was bad enough, to be a formal member would have been far worse.

But let’s stick to what we clearly know: Barack Obama’s CIA director clearly stated that he voted for Gus Hall for president of the United States of America. He voted for the Communist Party.

Many of those to whom I forwarded this stunner reacted with shock, understandably, but it really shouldn’t be a surprise. Yes, of course, it’s a mindblower that we have a CIA director who was apparently once a communist or voted communist — no doubt prompting Bill Casey and Allen Dulles to flip in their graves. But then again, this is, after all, Barack Obama’s CIA director. Thus, we should hardly be amazed.
