COLUMN ONE: TRUMP AND ISRAEL: ENEMIES OF THE SYSTEM
Jerusalem Post ^ | 5-18-17 | Caroline Glick

Posted on 05/21/2017 6:35:23 AM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

The United States is sailing in uncharted waters today as the intelligence-security community wages an all-but-declared rebellion against President Donald Trump.

Deputy Attorney-General Rod Rosenstein’s decision on Wednesday to appoint former FBI director Robert Mueller to serve as a special counsel charged with investigating allegations of “any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump,” is the latest and so far most significant development in this grave saga.

Who are the people seeking to unseat Trump? This week we learned that the powers at play are deeply familiar. Trump’s nameless opponents are some of Israel’s greatest antagonists in the US security establishment.

This reality was exposed this week with intelligence leaks related to Trump’s meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. To understand what happened, let’s start with the facts that are undisputed about that meeting.

It’s such a pleasure watching a real man (instead of a clueless eunuch) face the Saudis.

Seeing confirmation as to the rumor that the Muzzie rushing the cockpit on a plane to Hawaii did it with a laptop.

Not sure why this story is not being given more play.

It’s because the “press” has become the enemy of the Republic. They are disappointed the perp didn’t succeed. That would have been big news. Just my $.02.

Well...I really meant from Trump’s people. I realize it happened on the day he lifted off for a foreign tour but he does have people who stayed home.

This incident goes right to the heart of the leaked Israeli intelligence as it pertains to cockpits and laptops.

Appointing Mueller was a big mistake. The Democrats already stated that because Mueller wasn’t hired by an independent counsel that his findings will be partisan.

The sense of entitlement that prevails in the intelligence community was on prominent display in an astounding interview that Evelyn Farkas, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense, gave to MSNBS in early March.

Farkas, who resigned her position in late 2015 to work on Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, admitted to her interviewer that the intelligence community was spying on Trump and his associates and that ahead of Obama’s departure from office, they were transferring massive amounts of intelligence information about Trump and his associates to Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill in order to ensure that those Democratic politicians would use the information gathered to harm Trump.

In her words, “The Trump folks, if they found out how we knew what we knew about the Trump staff’s dealings with Russians... would try to compromise those sources and methods, meaning we would no longer have access to that information.”

Farkas then explained that the constant leaks of Trump’s actions to the media were part of the initiative that she had urged her counterparts to undertake.

And Farkas was proud of what her colleagues had done and were doing.

All this comes about because the methods of generating top level security clearances was drastically altered during the Clinton era. Then all it took for as prospective candidate for a clearance was to supply a phone number. Who was on the other end was not important as long as the responses to questions reflected the worthiness of the candidate. What this process morphed into under 0bama and Holder is any one’s guess.

Wish somebody big would come out publicly and say what it is - Mueller has a conflict of interest.

He has to be removed.

"It’s because the “press” has become the enemy of the Republic."

They are like the Scribes and Pharisees. They think they constitute the conscience and moral and intellectual compass of the nation, and therefore have a right to insist that government be conducted according to their morals, values, and objectives.

Anyone who tries to govern independently of their morals, values, and objectives will be bitterly opposed, harassed, slandered, and undermined - to the point of impeachment, if they can make it happen.

We saw this in their approach to Nixon, Reagan, both Bushes, and now Obama. All that differed was the intensity of their demonization, but each in turn was characterized as stupid, racist, and fascist.

They try to make us forget how ALL Republican presidents are demonized by comparing the current "extremist" Republican to the suddenly "reasonable," "moderate," and "good Republicans" of the past. For example, just in the last month, I have noticed how people like Whoopie Goldberg are now singing the praises of George W. Bush, who was incessantly demonized while in office.

We know that a reliable rule of thumb is, “If the Democrats are accusing you of something, it’s because they are already doing it or want to do it.” Keep that in mind when they shout accusations of “treason” at Trump.

Now who are these leakers? According to the Washington Post, the leakers are members of the US intelligence community and former members of the US intelligence community, (the latter, presumably were political appointees in senior intelligence positions during the Obama administration who resigned when Trump came into office).
