Don’t Count On
Trump Being Inaugurated

- The Ruling Establishment Does Not Intend For
Trump To Become President.
The latest
“explosive” fake news is that “multiple US officials
with direct knowledge” told CNN that they have
“classified documents” that Russia has compromising
documents on Trump that would allow them to blackmail
the US President. The documents consist of memos
compiled by a former British intelligence operative
“whose past work US intelligence officials consider
credible.”
According to
antiwar.com “the dossier claimed several figures in the
Trump campaign were in league with the Russian
government during the campaign, and that Russia had been
conspiring with them to groom Trump as an ally for ‘at
least five years.’ It also claims exchanges of
information between Trump and the Kremlin for ‘at least
eight years,’ . . . The dossier names former Trump
adviser Carter Page, his personal lawyer Michael Cohen,
as well as incoming National Security Adviser Michael
Flynn as having personally and repeatedly met with
Kremlin officials on anti-Clinton leaks.”
Lt. Gen.
Michael Flynn is the former Director of the Defense
Intelligence Agency. If such a high level US
intelligence official is repeatedly meeting with Kremlim
officials and the CIA has to learn about it from memos
written by an unidentified former British intelligent
agent, the CIA is totally incompetent.
The dossier
claims that in Russian hands are videos of “wild sex
parties” staged by Trump on his numerous trips to
Moscow. And it gets wilder.
The New York
Times also ran with the story but did state that there
was at the present time no confirmation for the story.
Consider these
three questions:
How would a
former British intelligence operative get such
extraordinary documents from Russian intelligence?
If he had such
documents, why would he hand them over instead of
selling them to Trump for a major fortune?
Why would such
a crazy story be on CNN and in the New York Times unless
the ruling establishment intends to use it to block
Trump from the presidency?
What this
elevation in wild charges tells me is that the CIA’s
effort to sell Trump on the Russian hacking did not
succeed, and the CIA has escalated its attack on the
president-elect.
