A Time for War: Deep State's Strike and Trump's Counter-Strike
American Thinker ^ | Dec 18, 2017 | David Prentice

Posted on 12/17/2017 11:44:47 PM PST by Oshkalaboomboom

The history of war is filled with examples of effective strikes that were surprise attacks. George Washington crossing the Delaware River to rout the Hessians on Christmas night is one example. No one expected it. D-Day itself was a huge surprise. Hitler was looking at other areas while the allies stormed Normandy.

One of the world's famous books is The Art of War by Sun Tzu. It summarizes stealth and what is necessary to win wars.

"All warfare is based on deception."

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the results of a hundred battles."

"Opportunities multiply as they are seized."

Today's cold civil war has seen a series of strikes by the left on the presidency of Donald Trump. The overwhelming wave of negativity toward him, as reported constantly by the old media, and the onslaught of wailing by the leftist Democratic Party, et al. have been a major part of life in the United States since November 9, 2016.

The strikes have been intensified by what is called "the Deep State," meaning the D.C. bureaucracy and the powerful government agencies of the DOJ and the FBI. Seeming chaos has reigned as leak after leak came out trying to damage the Trump administration. What appeared to be damaging strikes were launched by the Democrat-media-Deep State complex. The whole of Washington, D.C., along with the media, has never relented, going on a binge of hate-filled rhetoric and actions. They are trying to convince an unwitting public that Trump is nothing but horrible news.

The shrillness of the MSM is in deep contrast with what the voters are seeing with their own eyes. Nobody is being fooled any more.

Yeah don’t stop at the summary folks. This is a pretty good read all the way through, especially for the “4d Chess” believers.

There is clear evidence of ‘Winning!’

The lousy numbers for this president are because of the daily saturation of lies, fabrications, deceit spewed by the MSM on the alphabet television networks, radio, and print sources.

Intelligent people, many of them having recently, due costs having cut the cord on their cable resources where they were more apt to be subject to truth. It doesn’t take long once subjected daily, hourly to the lies, fabrications, and deceit with no iota of truth to be had to begin doubting, then falling for said disinformation.

Yes, many ARE being fooled, and fooled they will continue to be until a resource for dissemination of the truth is made more readily available to the masses that they can afford to hear the truth with little effort IF THEY DESIRE TO DO SO. (So many already lost to Marxized academia.)

Trump and his army of deplorables must be relentless. We need to expose what happened during the Obama years and destroy that impostor’s legacy.

Dems are claiming a lot of things, but investors in the stock markets aren’t believing that the sky is falling.

Dems claimed “RIP Internet” if Net Neutrality was repealed. Gosh, it’s repealed and the Internet is fine...in fact, getting faster and cheaper. 5G tech is rolling out now that NN is repealed.

Dems claimed that shrinking the land confiscated by Obama under the Antiquities Act now amounts to “stealing” by Trump, not by Obama!

Heaven forbid that what Trump has done allows ranchers to graze cattle on that land now, farmers to grow crops on that land now, drillers to find oil on that land now, miners to find gold on that land now, and basically, locals are now allowed to actually *use* that federal land now because of Trump.

...and those tax cuts. Now you can use your 529 plan to pay for private schools and some of the more than $2.2 Trillion that Americans have been keeping overseas can be Repatriated back into the USA because the tax on that has been cut to as low as 7.5%.

Oh, and the Keystone Pipeline got approved. Thanks, Trump!

Watch Christmas shopping hit new records faster than our stock markets hit new highs.

The economy is roaring now!

That’s why we lost the Alabama election and polling shows him even in a state he won by 30%. I know. The voting was wrong the polls are wrong everything’s Rosy.

But A lot of people in this country are stupid and still watch mainstream media

This is an exaggeration.

The Germans were expecting an invasion somewhere along the coast of northern France, sometime in June of 1944. True, Hitler was fixated on Calais. But the Nazis were not "caught with their pants down." (Their defenses were extremely thin - but not because they weren't expecting anything; rather, it was because they simply didn't have the resources.)

The enemy are not liberals, they are communists and they must never hold power again.

IMO, the take away:

“Trump knows his enemy’s weakness: they’re the smartest people ever. Ever.

His enemies believed they will always get away with it, because they’re so smart.”

The elites have clay feet and it’s starting to show.

3 dem poll workers stuffed 3,000 votes for Jones and are getting felony charges.

I can see recount and a possible Moore victory.

Great article:

Maybe, just maybe, as part of his strategy Trump wants Sessions to lay low, to play "rope a-dope," to discover the weasles in the DOJ and to be "good cop" to his "bad cop."

Then strike when the OIG gives his report.

The author speaks of indictments, trials and jail terms. All well and good, but I don’t see convictions if the trials are held in DC.

In a nutshell...duh. Any one who has ever followed President Trump knows and has known since the beginning that he is shrewd that he thinks outside the box and he has had a plan all along. There are no surprises for this man... he is playing triple-decker chess the deep state et al is playing checkers. I’ve said this since the beginning and I also believe this is a Divine Presidency that the Lord is guiding him and holding him in the palm of his hand and is protecting him and his agenda.

I haven’t seen any press reports that lead me to believe the Mule team is a white hat operation. The SC charter is widely defined to find only Trump wrong doing. If SC deviates too much, they need Rosenstein’s approval. If Rosenstein has widely expanded the SC’s mission, I think we would have heard about it. If people in charge of DOJ/FBI find criminal wrong doing by federal employees, it seems to me they wouldn’t need to go through the SC office to press charges. The press reports I’ve read suggest SC is so compromised, they can’t bring anything to trial. It is down making the case that Trump is a bad guy and should be impeached.

True, Hitler was fixated on Calais.

So I guess it wasn't an exasperation after all.
