The Neocon’s
Declaration of War Against Trump
By The Saker
After several
rather lame false starts, the Neocons have now taken a
step which can only be called a declaration of war
against Donald Trump.
It all began
with CNN published an article entitled “Intel
chiefs presented Trump with claims of Russian efforts to
compromise him” which claimed that:
Classified documents presented last week to
President Obama and President-elect Trump included
allegations that Russian operatives claim to have
compromising personal and financial information
about Mr. Trump, multiple US officials with direct
knowledge of the briefings tell CNN. The
allegations were presented in a two-page synopsis
that was appended to a report on Russian
interference in the 2016 election. The allegations
came, in part, from memos compiled by a former
British intelligence operative, whose past work US
intelligence officials consider credible (…) The
two-page synopsis also included allegations that
there was a continuing exchange of information
during the campaign between Trump surrogates and
intermediaries for the Russian government, according
to two national security officials.
The website
Buzzfeed then published the full document. Here it
is in full.
When I first
read the document my intention was to debunk it sentence
by sentence. However, I don’t have the time for that
and, frankly, there is no need for it. I will just
provide you here with enough simple straightforward
evidence that this is a fake. Here are just a few
elements of proof:
- The
document has no letterhead, no identification, no
date, no nothing. For many good technical and even
legal reasons, sensitive intelligence documents are
created with plenty of tracking and identification
information. For example, such a document would
typically have a reference to the unit which
produced it or an number-letter combination
indicating the reliability of the source and of the
information it contains.
- The
classification CONFIDENTIAL/SENSITIVE SOURCE is a
joke. If this was a true document its level of
classification would be much, much higher than
“confidential” and since most intelligence documents
come from sensitive sources there is no need to
specify that.
- The
allegation that “The dossier is controlled by
Kremlin spokesman, PESKOV, directly on PUTIN’S
orders” is beyond laughable. Clearly the
author of this fake has no idea how the Russian
intelligence and security services work (hint: the
Presidential spokesman has no involvement in that
whatsoever)
- On page 2
there is this other hilarious sentence “exploit
TRUMP’s personal obsession and sexual perversion in
order to obtain suitable ‘kompromat’ (compromising
material) on him.” Nobody in a real
intelligence document would bother to clarify what
the word “kompromat” means since both in Russian and
in English it is obviously the combination of the
words “compromising” and “materials”. Any western
intelligence officer, even a very junior one, would
know that word, if only because of the many Cold War
era espionage books written about the KGB entrapment
techniques.
- The
document speaks of “source A”, “source B” and
further down the alphabet. Now ask yourself a
simple question: what happens after “source Z” is
used? Can any intelligence agency work with a
potential pool of sources limited to 26? Obviously,
this is not how intelligence agencies classify their
sources.
I will stop
here and submit that there is ample evidence that this
is a crude fake produced by amateurs who have no idea of
what they are talking about.
This does not
make this document any less dangerous, however.
First, and this
is the really crucial part,
there is more
than enough here to impeach Trump on numerous grounds
both political and legal. Let me
repeat again – this is an attempt at removing Donald
Trump from the White House. This is a political coup
d’etat.
Second, this
documents smears everybody involved: Trump himself, of
course, but also the evil Russians and their ugly
Machiavellian techniques. Trump is thereby “confirmed”
as a sexual pervert who likes to hire prostitutes to
urinate on him. As for the Russians, they are basically
accused of trying to recruit the President of the United
States as an agent of their security services. That
would make Trump a traitor, by the way.
Third, within
one short week we went from allegations of “Russian
hacking” to “having a traitor sitting in the White
House”. We can only expect a further Tsunami of such
allegations to continue and get worse and worse every
day. It is interesting that Buzzfeed has already
preempted the accusation of this being a smear and
demonization campaign against Trump by writing that “Now
BuzzFeed News is publishing the
full document so that Americans can make up their
own minds about allegations about the president-elect
that have circulated at the highest levels of the US
government.” as if most Americans had the expertise
to immediately detect that this document is a crude
forgery!
Fourth, unless
all the officials who briefed Trump come out and deny
that this fake was part of their briefing with Trump, it
will appear that this document has the official
imprimatur of the senior US intelligence officials
and that would give them a legal, probatory, authority.
This de-facto means that the “experts” have evaluated
that document and have certified it as “credible” even
before any legal proceedings in court or, worse, in
Congress. I sure hope that Trump had the foresight to
audio and video record his meeting with the intelligence
chiefs and that he is now able to threaten them with
legal action if they now act in a way contradicting
their behavior before him.
Fifth, the fact
that CNN got involved in all this is a critical factor.
Some of us, including yours truly, were shocked and
disgusted when the WaPo posted a list of 200 websites
denounced as “fake news” and “Russian propaganda”, but
what CNN did by posting this article is infinitely
worse: it is a direct smear and political attack on the
President Elect on a worldwide level (the BBC and others
are already posting the same crap). This again confirms
to be that the gloves are off and that the Ziomedia is
in full state of war against Donald Trump.
All of the
above further confirms to me what I have been saying
over the past weeks: if Trump ever makes it into the
White House (I write ‘if’ because I think that the
Neocons are perfectly capable of assassinating him), his
first priority should be to ruthlessly crack down as
hard as he legally can against those in the US “deep
state” (which very much includes the media) who have now
declared war on him. I am sorry to say that, but it
will be either him or them – one of the parties here
will be crushed.
[Sidebar: to
those who wonder what I mean by “crackdown” I will
summarize here what I wrote elsewhere: the best way to
do that is to nominate a hyper-loyal and determined FBI
director and instruct him to go after all the enemies of
Trump by investigating them on charge of corruption,
abuse of power, conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and
all the other types of behavior which have gone on
forever in Congress, the intelligence community, the
banking world and the media. Deal with the Neocons like
Putin did with the Russian oligarchs or how the USA
dealt with Al Capone – get them on tax evasion. There
is no need to open Gulags or shoot people when you can
get them all on what is their normal daily behavior :-)]
I sincerely
hope that I am wrong, and I admit that I might be, but I
don’t have the gut feeling that Trump has what it takes
to hit hard enough at those who are using any and every
ugly method imaginable to prevent him from ever making
it into the White House or to have him impeached if he
tries to deliver on his campaign promises. I cannot
blame him for that either: the enemy has infiltrated all
the level of power in the US polity and there are strong
sign that they are even represented in Trump’s immediate
entourage. Putin could do what he did because he was an
iron-willed and highly trained intelligence officer.
Trump is just a businessman whose best “training” to
deal with such people would probably be his exposure to
the mob in New York. Will that be enough to allow him
to prevail against the Neocons? I doubt it, but I sure
hope so.
As
I predicted it before the election, the USA are
about to enter the worst crisis in their history. We
are entering extraordinarily dangerous times. If the
danger of a thermonuclear war between Russia and the USA
had dramatically receded with the election of Trump, the
Neocon total war on Trump put the United States at very
grave risk, including civil war (should the Neocon
controlled Congress impeach Trump I believe that
uprisings will spontaneously happen, especially in the
South, and especially in Florida and Texas). At the
risk of sounding over the top, I will say that what is
happening now is putting the very existence of the
United States in danger almost regardless of what Trump
will personally do. Whatever we may think of Trump as a
person and about his potential as a President, what is
certain is that millions of American patriots have voted
for him to “clear the swamp”, give the boot to the
Washington-based plutocracy and restore what they see as
fundamental American values. If the Neocons now manage
to stage a coup d’etat against Trump, I predict that
these millions of American will turn to violence to
protect what they see as their way of life, their values
and their country. In spite of the image which
Hollywood likes to give of them, most Americans are
peaceful and non-violent people, but if they are pushed
too far they will not hesitate and grab their guns to
defend themselves, especially if they lose all hopes in
their democracy. And I am not talking only about
gun-toting hillbillies here, I am talking about the
local, state and county authorities, who often care much
more about what their local constituents think and say
than what the are up to in DC. If a coup is staged
against Trump and some wannabe President à la Hillary or
McCain gives the order to the National Guard or even the
US Army to put down a local insurrection, we could see
what we saw in Russia in 1991: a categorical refusal of
the security services to shoot at their own people.
That is the biggest and ultimate danger for the Neocons:
the risk that if they give the order to crack down on
the population the police, security and military
services might simply refuse to take action. If that
could happen in the “KGB-controlled country” (to use a
Cold War cliché) this can also happen in the USA.
I sure hope
that I am wrong and that this latest attack against
Trump is the Neocon’s last “hurray” before they finally
give up and leave. I hope that all of the above is my
paranoia speaking. But, as they say, “just because
you’re paranoid doesn’t mean that they are not after you“.
So please tell
me I am wrong!
