The
Real Bombshell of the Impeachment Hearings
By Ron

- The most shocking thing about the House
impeachment hearings to this point is not a
“smoking gun” witness providing irrefutable
evidence of quid pro quo. It’s not that
President Trump may or may not have asked the
Ukrainians to look into business deals between
then-Vice President Biden’s son and a Ukrainian
oligarch.
The
most shocking thing to come out of the hearings
thus far is confirmation that no matter who is
elected President of the United States, the
permanent government will not allow a change in
our aggressive interventionist foreign policy,
particularly when it comes to Russia.
Even
more shocking is that neither Republicans nor
Democrats are bothered in the slightest!
Take
Lt. Colonel Vindman, who earned high praise in
the mainstream media. He did not come forth with
firsthand evidence that President Trump had
committed any “high crimes” or “misdemeanors.”
He brought a complaint against the President
because he was worried that Trump was shifting
US policy away from providing offensive weapons
to the Ukrainian government!
He
didn’t think the US president had the right to
suspend aid to Ukraine because he supported
providing aid to Ukraine.
According to his testimony, Vindman’s was
concerned over “influencers promoting a false
narrative of Ukraine inconsistent with the
consensus views of the interagency.”
“Consensus views of the interagency” is another
word for “deep state.”
Vindman
continued, “While my interagency colleagues and
I were becoming increasingly optimistic on
Ukraine’s prospects, this alternative narrative
undermined US government efforts to expand
cooperation with Ukraine.”
Let
that sink in for a moment: Vindman did not
witness any crimes, he just didn’t think the
elected President of the United States had any
right to change US policy toward Ukraine or
Russia!

Likewise, his boss on the National Security
Council Staff, Fiona Hill, sounded more like she
had just stepped out of the 1950s with her
heated Cold War rhetoric. Citing the
controversial 2017 “Intelligence Community
Assessment” put together by then-CIA director
John Brennan’s “hand-picked” analysts, she
asserted that, “President Putin and the Russian
security services aim to counter US foreign
policy objectives in Europe, including in
Ukraine.”
And who
gets to decide US foreign policy objectives in
Europe? Not the US President, according to
government bureaucrat Fiona Hill. In fact, Hill
told Congress that, “If the President, or anyone
else, impedes or subverts the national security
of the United States in order to further
domestic political or personal interests, that
is more than worthy of your attention.”
Who was
Fiona Hill’s boss? Former National Security
Advisor John Bolton, who no doubt agreed that
the president has no right to change US foreign
policy. Bolton’s the one who “explained” that
when Trump said US troops would come home it
actually meant troops would stay put.
One by
one, the parade of “witnesses” before House
Intelligence Committee Chairman Schiff sang from
the same songbook. As US Ambassador to the EU,
Gordon Sondland put it, “in July and August
2019, we learned that the White House had also
suspended security aid to Ukraine. I was
adamantly opposed to any suspension of aid, as
the Ukrainians needed those funds to fight
against Russian aggression.”
Meanwhile, both Democrats and Republicans in
large majority voted to continue spying on the
rest of us by extending the unpatriotic Patriot
Act. Authoritarianism is the real bipartisan
philosophy in Washington.
