July 22, 2019 - When President John F. Kennedy threatened the budget and power of the military/security complex by seeking to end the Cold War with the Soviet Union, the military/security complex physically assassinated him.
When President Donald Trump threatened the power and profit of the military/security complex by stating his intention to normalize Fascist Police States of Amerika relations with Russia, the military/security complex attempted to assassinate him politically with the Russiagate hoax pushed by CIA director John Brennan, FBI director James Comey, special prosecutor Robert Mueller, CNN, The New York Times, the Washington Post, NPR, the Obama Justice (sic) Department, House Democrats, and the Democrat National Committee. This was the most massive conspiracy in Amerikan history, the intent of which was a coup against the elected president of the FPSA in order to terminate his presidency.
Almost all of the participants in this conspiracy knew that they were participating in a conspiracy against the Amerikan people, but they did not care. For them, their hatred of Trump was far more important than our Republic. In Amerika hate is a far more powerful motivating force among the “liberal, progressive, Left” than the preservation of the Rule of Law, freedom, and accountable government.
The FPSA military/security complex, having successfully and visibly overthrown so many foreign governments without ever being held accountable, thought overthrow would be just as easy to do at home. As insouciant Amerikans had fallen for the Vietnam War, 9/11, Saddam Hussein’s “weapons of mass destruction,” Iranian nukes, the propaganda against Moammar Qaddafi, “(Syrian President Bashir al-)Assad’s use of chemical weapons,” “Russian invasion of Ukraine,” and “(Venezuela President Nicolas) Maduro starving his own people,” the gullibility of the Amerikan people was a proven fact. The military/security complex saw no problem in convincing Amerikans that the president they had elected was a Russian agent.
The question is whether Trump’s establishment government, which does not really stand by him, will succeed in convincing Trump to “move on” and not punish those who tried to overthrow him.
The chances of Trump making such a fatal mistake - a mistake that will totally destroy accountable government - are much higher than we might think. Leaders even more threatened than Trump have made the mistake of “moving on”. For example, when the CIA and the elite Spanish rulers of Venezuela overthrew President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela in 2002, he was rescued by the people and the army before the Amerikans could kill him. Back in power, he “moved on” and brought no action against those who overthrew him and intended to kill him. Consequently, the treacherous scum are still in place in Venezuela and are attempting to overthrow Maduro with Washington’s help.
Maduro is repeating Chavez’s mistake. The CIA puppet who declared himself President of Venezuela and participated overtly with Washington in a coup attempt against Maduro has been given a free pass by Maduro, who has “moved on”.
Politicians who are so stupid as to allow extreme criminal actions against the Rule of Law to go unpunished destroy it and bring about their own overthrow. Will Trump be one of them?
