A Civil War For Control Of The US Government Has Erupted Between "The Deep State" And Donald Trump
Zero Hedge ^ | Feb 16, 2017 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 02/16/2017 11:02:39 PM PST by Trump_vs_Evil_Witch

The ruthless political assassination of Michael Flynn was just one battle of a major civil war that has erupted for control of the U.S. government. Donald Trump and his new administration are now under relentless assault by “the deep state”, and at this point it is not clear who will emerge as the victor. There are many that use the term “deep state” as a synonym for the intelligence community, but the truth is that it is much broader than that. In reality, the deep state encompasses thousands upon thousands of unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats that never seem to change no matter which party wins an election. Certainly the intelligence community is at the heart of this system, but there are countless others that are embedded within key government agencies and the Pentagon that deeply resent Donald Trump and the kind of change that he is attempting to bring to Washington.

There is a vast and exceedingly complex tapestry of laws, rules and regulations that govern the behavior of government officials. In past administrations, those laws, rules and regulations have been very selectively enforced, but now the “deep state” intends to use them as weapons against the Trump administration.

In essence, Donald Trump and his team are walking through a minefield, and his enemies are watching like a hawk for even the smallest slip up.

Theoretically, everyone working for the federal government is now working for Donald Trump. But in reality that is not the case. I wrote about the sabotage that is being done by Obama loyalists a few days ago, and it isn’t going to stop until Donald Trump does a complete housecleaning.....

...Can you see why I am describing this conflict as a “civil war”? To me, this is definitely treason…

If Trump resigns; they win and we and our Nation lose. God put Donnie Trump in the Wjite House, and only God can take him out. AFAIC, Trump’s presser on Thursday was “the voice of one crying in the wilderness”. He’s God’s man. Hang tough!

The Author wasn’t Tyler Durden. I found the same article on Freedom Outpost and it looks to be Michael Synder’s column. If so he allows basically ever site that wants to to post his material. But he runs three sites, The Truth wins out ended or he left the site. He started a site that for some reason doesn’t get much users called The Most Important Thing and it republishes articles from his other two sites and other things. The other two sites are The Economic Collapse Blog and The End Of The American Dream. Zero Hedge does re-publish Synder’s articles.

Here is the link to the Freedom Outpost article with the same title.

http://freedomoutpost.com/a-civil-war-for-control-of-the-u-s-government-has-erupted-between-the-deep-state-and-donald-trump/

The Link from his The Most Important News site:
http://freedomoutpost.com/a-civil-war-for-control-of-the-u-s-government-has-erupted-between-the-deep-state-and-donald-trump/

P.S. He seems to have quit using The End Of The American Dream blog as it is not updated since May 2016. The Truth Wins Out is also abandoned. I recall they had a new editor in 2014, but it seems to be abandoned.

Not that it matter but I posted two links to the Freedom Outpost version by accident. The correct one from The Most Important News site:

Out of all the decades I have been observing presidents come and go, I have NEVER seen the bizarre behavior from the politicians and news media that we are seeing today. I watched the whole news conference Trump did yesterday and then the montage of what the various, I can’t call them reporters, I’ll call them Very Fake News Spewers said about it this morning. The Very Fake News Spewers were the ones that came off as unhinged as they made accusations about President Trump’s behavior at the news conference. They did exactly as he said they would do.

Something has got these people scared out of their wits. Hmmmmmmmmmm....what could it be? What would make them act so crazy? Then when these initials were ‘leaked’ out there CES, NP, BF, MB, TK, DF, JM, LG it was like someone beat on a hornets nest. I thought things were bad when George Bush was president with the Very Fake News Spewers but now that we have something to compare it to, it is obvious he was a DC player. The last eight years under Obama the Very Fake News Spewers sat there in their chairs like they were on Quaaludes.

After having all these years to observe the behaviors of news conferences, something is definitely different this time. I think it’s called DRAINING THE SWAMP AND MEANING IT and they know it. No telling who in the Very Fake News Media is going to be sucked down the drain but there must be some in each agency based on their behavior.

I will be very surprised if lots of evidence to drain the swamp does not come from Mr. and Mrs. Carlos Danger’s computer and secret videos made on the Lolita Express and Epstein’s pedophile island.

Just some observations I have been making.

I also got these two sites confused. Both are labeled The Truth Wins Out. Michael T. Snyder abandoned his blog and a unrelated one that is pro gay had the same name.

Michael’s abandoned site:
http://thetruthwins.com/

The gay site:
https://www.truthwinsout.org/

As you can see Michael had renamed his site The Truth Wins. But it is abandoned.

” I can see him resigning if he is completely paralyzed by the shadow Government.”

There is not a snowballs chance in Hell that this happens. You obviously do not know Trump.

Harward said it was family reasons. Until we understand those we cannot evaluate. It is entirely possible after years in spec ops that he does have family issues. Those guys were never home and always in danger.

"all forms of sexual deviancy. With power comes the desire to do that which titilates."

Dennis Prager years back sited a study of men with multiple in depth hobbies are the most faithful and happy. In Dennis's case, If my memory is correct he is a big Stereo Hobbyist. Funneling your passions is a choice. Why to paraphrase the Templar Night in the Indiana Jones movie why do they: "He Choose Poorly"?

Seriously, if they can't restore it, then buy the Muscle Car of your dreams, or the Bicycle, Harley, Boat, Baseball Card Collection etc, etc etc.

If they can't choose wisely for themselves, then how do we trust them to choose wisely for us?

Government workers have a peculiar mindset. I asked a state worker about Governor Bush’s statement that he had laid off x% of this worker’s office. He laughed and said, (approximately) “nobody got laid off. They just took off a bunch of unfilled requisitions and said they wouldn’t hire those people. Listen, governors are like the plastic statues on a wedding cake. They come and they go, but we are here forever. Governors can’t do anything unless we let them. Trust me, we won’t let them.”

Since Trump has turned around companies full of people like this, I trust he knows how its really done. Career politicians, however, don’t know how things really work deep in a large organization because, for the most part, they have never had a real job.

The President needs to eliminate the CIA. President Truman disbanded the OSS, because it was doing exactly what the intelligence community is doing right now. The OSS was too powerful and Truman feared it, so he killed it. President Trump needs to disband the CIA and build a replacement agency of his design.

And why do we need 16 intelligence agencies. We only need 2, one for domestic stuff and one for foreign stuff. With 16, there is too much redundancy and not enough efficiency; also, with this much redundancy there is too much opportunity for mischief.

Trump got to where he is today by quitting everything he ever attempted when it got tough. I remember him quitting during the election when media impugned his honor and attacked his family.

“..... If something isn’t done to regain control, President Trump might as well play a lot of golf....Trump isn’t one to waste his time.... can see him resigning....completely paralyzed by the shadow Government....”

....EXACTLY WHAT HIS ENEMIES WANT HIM TO DO.....QUIT!

NO WAY!

We stand with you President Trump, ...even though all the secret societies in the US & demons of Hell don’t approve of you draining their cesspool......
