Will The Conspiracy Against Trump and American Democracy Go Unpunished?
Dear Readers: This is one of the most important
articles I have written, along with this one: https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2018/02/02/nuclear-posture-review/.
If the Russiagate conspiracy against Trump and American democracy goes
unpunished, accountable government in the United States will cease to exist. US
security agencies have long been involved in coups against foreign governments.
Now they are involved in one against America. There is great danger that
Republicans are so worshipful of “national security” and so determined to
protect the reputation of the US government that they will give a pass to the
high officials who participated in a conspiracy against the United States. As
for President Trump, he lacks a government that he can count on and is
threatened by the military/security complex. The conspiracy could easily be
whitewashed as merely a case of the FBI and DOJ not following proper
procedures, with the media’s participation in the conspiracy being dismissed
with mea culpas of “sloppy reporting.”
Will The Conspiracy Against Trump and American
Democracy Go Unpunished?
Paul Craig Roberts
“In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep
within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and
it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor
reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are
thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.”
– Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn
The American people do not realize the seriousness of
the Russiagate conspiracy against them and President Trump. Polls indicate that
a large majority of the public do not believe that Trump conspired with Putin
to steal the presidential election, and are tired of hearing the media
prostitutes repeat the absurd story day after day. On its face the story makes
no sense whatsoever. Moreover, the leaked emails are real, not fabricated. The emails
show exactly what Hillary and the DNC did. The public knows that these
transgressions were pushed out of news sight by the false story of a
Trump/Putin conspiracy. The fact that the entirety of the US print and TV media
served in a highly partisan political way to bury a true and disturbing story
with a fake news story—Russiagate—is one reason some polls show that only 6% of
Americans trust the mainstream media. All polls show that large majorities of
independents, Republicans, and youth distrust the mainstream media. In some
polls about half of Democrats trust the media, and that is because the media is
servant to Democratic Party interests.
Russiagate is a dagger aimed at the heart of American
governmental institutions. A conspiracy involving top officials of the Obama
Department of Justice, FBI, and other “security” agencies was formed together
with Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee, the purpose of
which was to defeat Trump in the presidential election and, failing that, to
remove Trump from office or to discredit him to the point that he would be
reduced to a mere figurehead. This conspiracy has the full backing of the
entirely of the mainstream media.
In other words, it was a coup not only against Donald
Trump but also against American democracy and the outcome of a presidential
election.
Briefly, the National Security Agency discovered that
the FBI and DOJ were abusing the surveillance system. As a favor of one
security agency to another, NSA Director Adm. Rogers permitted the FBI and DOJ
to rush to the FISA Court and confess their transgressions before the NSA
informed the Court. The FBI and DOJ pretended that their deception of the Court
in order to obtain surveillance warrants for highly partisan political purposes
was not due to their intent but to procedural mistakes. The FBI and DOJ told
the Court that they were tightening up procedures so that this would not happen
again. The FISA Court Memorandum and Order clearly states:
“On October 24, 2016, the government orally apprised
the Court of significant non-compliance with the NSA’s minimization procedures
involving queries of data acquired under Section 702 using U.S. person
identifiers. The full scope of non-compliant querying practices had not been
previously disclosed to the Court.”
The FISA Court Memorandum and Order is about resolving
these deficiencies and returning the FBI and DOJ to legal practices. For
example, the Court Memorandum and Order says:
“On January 3, 2017, the government made a further
submission describing its efforts to ascertain the scope and causes of those
compliance problems and discussing potential solutions to them. See January 3,
2017, Supplemental Notice of Compliance Incidents Regarding the Querying of
Section 701-Acquired Data (“January 3, 2017 Notice”). The Court was not
satisfied that the government had sufficiently ascertained the scope of the
compliance problems or developed and implemented adequate solutions for them
and communicated a number of questions and concerns to the government.”
In other words, the FBI and DOJ were attempting to
make corrections to their “compliance problems” in ways that would allow them
to continue to mislead the FISA Court, and the Court wasn’t letting them.
The FISA Court Memorandum and Order was released prior
to the House Intelligence Committee report and has been completely ignored by
the utterly corrupt press prostitutes. The FISA Court Memorandum and Order,
relying on the confessions of the FBI and DOJ, verifies the House Intelligence Committee
report that the FBI and DOJ illegally obtained spy warrants for partisan
politial purposes.
Rep. Adam Schiff, a Democrat who is a disgrace to the
voters of his California district, to the Democratic Party, and to the House of
Representatives, knows full well that the FBI and DOJ deceived the FISA Court.
Schiff is so partisan that he lies to the hilt in the face of hard documented
evidence from both the FISA Court and his own House committee. Schiff is so
totally devoid of all honesty and integrity that he is the perfect leader for a
shithole country, something that he and his ilk are turning the United States
into.
The honest left—not the Identity Politics left, which
is a collection of deranged idiots—does not believe a word of the concocted
Russiagate conspiracy against Trump. They object to the Russiagate conspiracy
not because they like Trump, which they most certainly do not, but because they
understand that it is a lie directed against truth. They understand that the
American mainstream media has deserted factual, truthful reporting and serves
as a propaganda ministry for the war/police state that American is becoming.
Andre Damon writes on the World Socialist Web Site:
“The Democratic Party was thrown into disarray Friday after the publication of
a classified memo exposing as a factionally-motivated witch hunt the
investigation by leading intelligence agencies into the Trump administration’s
alleged collusion with Russia. . . . The release of the memo once again
underscores the fact that the US intelligence agencies have massively
intervened in US politics.” https://www.globalresearch.ca/release-of-nunes-memo-throws-anti-russia-campaign-into-disarray/5628233
The real left, as opposed to the fake left,
understands that the people have no chance when the highest officials of the
Department of Justice and the security agencies join in a conspiracy against a
democratic outcome. When the justice and police authorities have no respect for
the truth, as the Russiagate conspiracy proves, the people are doomed. If the
FBI-DOJ-DNC-presstitute conspiracy goes unpunished, The Lie will have prevailed
over The Truth and all of us will be endangered.
The important question before us is: will the
treasonous criminals in the FBI, DOJ, and DNC be indicted and held responsible?
Or do high government officials get a pass as do the police who rob and murder
citizens and never face justice for their crimes?
From the sound of things, it looks like they will get
a pass. Rep. Nunes felt compelled to say on TV how much he likes Deputy
Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who is a party to the deception of the FISA
Court. President Trump says he will not fire the conspirator against him,
Robert Mueller, even though both Trump and Mueller know that the Russiagate
investigation headed by Mueller is a concocted conspiracy against American
democracy and the President of the United States. It seems that high government
officials, like state and local police and executives of “banks too big to
fail,” are above the law.
What about the FISA Court, readers ask, why did the
FISA Court let the FBI and DOJ get away with their illegal acquisition of spy
warrants? Once the Court knew about it, the Court did not let them get away
with it, as the Memorandum and Order makes clear. The FISA Court does not have
prosecutorial power to indict and bring a case against the FBI and DOJ
criminals. That has to be done by the DOJ, and the DOJ is not going to indict
itself.
Former US Attorney Joe DiGenova believes that
continuing investigations will result in high officials being indicted,
convicted, and sent to prison. If the US is to have any future as a country in
which government is accountable to law, it is essential that DiGenova be
correct. However, I will believe it when I see it.
