Schiff
Is Laying Groundwork for Tying Up Trump’s Second
Term in More False Charges

- There is no evidence that
Russia is interfering in the 2020 US
presidential election in order to reelect Trump.
Nor is there any reason for Russia to prefer
Trump, who has done nothing for Russia.
Indeed, Trump has imposed sanctions and
endangered Russia by withdrawing from arms
control agreements. The claims of interference
reported by the New York Times come from unnamed
sources, described as “US intelligence
officials,” in a recent briefing of the House
Intelligence Committee organized by Rep. Adam
Schiff. We do not even know if such claims were
made or whether this is another of Schiff’s many
inventions planted on the New York Times,
Schiff’s partner in crime and fake news.
Schiff
is the highly partisan chairman of the House
Intelligence Committee who was a driver of
Russiagate and the subsequent effort to impeach
President Trump. He is a known liar, having
been caught in numerous lies and
misrepresentations. Schiff arranged these new
claims of Russian interference in order that, in
the event of Trump’s reelection, the Democrats
can tie up Trump for the entirety of his second
term with bogus charges just as they did Trump’s
first term. In that way the Democrats, the
political party of racial minorities, sexual
perverts, and immigrant-invaders, can prevent
Trump from politically organizing white
Americans whose lives, careers, and safety have
been harmed by global US corporations
transferring their jobs abroad and by the
increasing attacks on white Americans as racists
and “white supremacists.” Despite the First
Amendment, white Americans are losing the right
of free speech, because if they “offend” a
protected category of person when they exercise
their free speech right, they risk being fired
from their job and being investigated for a
“hate crime,” a crime that can only be committed
by white people. White Americans are slowly
being marginalized, and, rightly or wrongly,
they see Trump as a protector.
If
intelligence officials actually made the claim
of Russian interference, money is the reason.
The intelligence community gains more power and
a larger budget the more threats, real or
imagined, that can be claimed. The intelligence
community, which has badly served Trump during
the Russia-gate and Impeach-gate hoaxes, is
worried that they will experience cutbacks
during Trump’s second term. Therefore, they are
determined to keep the “Russian Threat” alive.
The
notion of Russian interference in US elections
is hilariously funny. There is interference in
US elections from many sources. Interest groups
interfere with massive amounts of money. The
Israel Lobby is the most notorious. Even if the
Russian government went all out to interfere in
American elections, Moscow could not possibly
match the influence of the Israel Lobby.

Powerful private interest groups also interfere.
Candidates who stand for election need their
campaigns financed by Wall Street and the banks,
the military/security complex, the extractive
industries (energy, mining, and timber),
agribusiness, the pharmaceutical corporations,
real estate interests, and so on.
The
political parties themselves interfere by
rigging electronic voting machines, by making
voting difficult for supporters of the opposite
party by such means as culling voting lists and
providing an insufficient number of voting
precincts for all to vote. Democrats have also
been noted for voting grave yards by stuffing
ballot boxes with votes of dead people.
Many US
elections are simply stolen. Many Democrats
believe, not without reason, that the US Supreme
Court stole the 2000 presidential election for
George W. Bush.
The
obvious conclusion is that even if Russia tried
to influence the election, Russia’s efforts
would be insignificant compared to the many
powerful forces interfering in American
elections.
So what
is the purpose of stressing Russian
interference?
Moreover, the complaint of interference
doesn’t set well coming, as it does, from the
US, whose government has massively interferred
in foreign elections—recently Hondorus,
Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Brazil—and invades
and overthrows governments—recently Serbia,
Georgia, Iraq, Libya, Ukraine, and almost Syria—
when election interference is not possible.
Schiff
might succeed in tying up Trump’s second term.
Trump’s patriotic American base has been
successfully brainwashed by neoconservatives to
view Russia as a dire threat to the United
States.
This indoctrinated view of Trump
supporters and right-wing talk radio, makes
unfounded charges of Russian interference
believable to flag-waving Americans.
The consequence is that Trump’s base is
susceptible to Democrat charges that Trump has
sold out America to Russia.
If you listen to Hannity and Rush
Limbaugh, what you hear is: “yes Russia
interferred in our election, but it had nothing
to do with Trump.”
So, Schiff will ask, “why hasn’t Trump
stopped Russia from re-electing him?
A
country ruled by propaganda and disinformation
has no capabiity of knowing what its interests
are, much less how to defend the unknown
interests.
A brainwashed population cannot hold on
to its country.
Americans have been brainwashed to believe that
multiculturalism, that is, a flood of
non-European ethnicities becoming a majority of
the population, is in their interest. Americans
are told that a flood of non-European immigrants
are needed to provide business energy and
innovation and to prevent population decline by
having high birth rates.
White Americans are told that it is in
their interest to become a minority that can be
depossessed by the “replacement population.”
As the
entirety of the Democrat Party has swallowed
this line, what happens when one of them again
becomes President?
Considering
the virulent propaganda against white Americans,
will they become endangered like Jews in
Nationalist Socialist Germany?
