THE FAILED COUP D’ETAT IN AMERICA.
Posted by Pointman on February 22, 2019 · 25 Comments
I used the word coup in the title of this article because though I might have hitherto thought that’s exactly what’s been happening for the last two years in America, it’s a word I avoided using simply because it seems overly dramatic, and is habitually used by hysterical bloggers describing something as simple as one politician metaphorically stepping on another’s toes. However, since President Trump implicitly endorsed the usage of that word last Monday and also appended “treason” to it, the unthinkable is now thinkable and the word will now I think enter common political discourse in discussing the events of the last two years in America.
When you hear about a coup in another country, it usually happens in a small country in the Caribbean or South America or buried away in the Balkans somewhere. The TV rolls the almost stock footage of old WWII tanks rolling towards the presidential palace and the state-run television or radio stations being taken over by a few platoons of armed soldiers. The single nationwide newspaper will get the same treatment. That’s the usual way of doing it, but for both reasons of culture and sheer scale, it simply wasn’t a viable way to seize control of the American government.
This was a slow coup, initiated by political opponents of Trump and executed by usually faceless individuals who’d nearly all been appointed by the outgoing administration to top positions within both the executive and judicial branches of government. To name a few departments, FBI, DoJ, State, odds and sods of the Fort Meade Maryland and Langley Virgina feral children and no doubt a few people in the judiciary to rubber stamp the coup’s legality. Add in the fake news machine cranked up to full volume, and they were all involved in some way or another.
Americans waking up in the early morning to the sight of tanks rolling down Pennsylvania Avenue towards the White House and crashing through the railings to arrest Trump would eventually have an armed response, courtesy of the Second Amendment, by one of the most heavily armed populaces in the world. As for seizing and silencing all the TV, radio, newspaper and internet news sources nowadays, there aren’t enough troops.
The modified approach to doing the coup was derived from the method used to try and subvert the presidential election of 2016. A campaign of falsification, smear and misinformation was to be run by feeding the media in all its forms, a steady stream of manufactured negative items about Trump. The shakers and movers at the top of the media information cartels were to be active players in the conspiracy. With media coverage running at an estimated 90% of negative articles against him since he declared his candidacy, the thinking was he’d never get elected.
As we all know, he was elected anyway, and nobody was more surprised than the plotters who were so sure they’d manipulated the country to vote for their preferred candidate Hillary Clinton, who was one half of the most corrupt couple in American political history. In the immediate aftermath, complete panic ensued in the executive and judicial branches of government for the simple reason that they all had crimes and misdemeanors to hide.
The Obama administrations had totally politicised and corrupted them, and because of their confident expectation of installing a similarly corrupt person as president, nobody had bothered very hard in covering up the graft and corruption endemic to Washington that Trump quite rightly named the Swamp, also known as the deep state. They hated and feared Trump in equal parts because he wasn’t one of them, wasn’t like the compliant narcissist Obama they’d previously installed or the corruption-plagued harridan they had lots of dirt on they’d tried to put into office.
Having failed to prevent his election, the plotting behind the scenes moved into cooking up a full-blooded coup, though one that couldn’t involve tanks in the streets of Washington. The hope was that by bombarding the American public with unprecedented volumes of fake news, they could slowly build up in the citizens a pathological hatred of him and his administration equivalent to theirs that would allow a soft coup using some dusty wrinkle in the constitution as a fig leaf. Any excuse would do, just as long as they’d poisoned the country against him enough.
The spectacle of the leaders of the FBI, DoJ, the State Department and elements of the Intelligence community holding grubby secret conclaves to discuss things like wearing a wire to their meetings with the President or drumming up support to get him dismissed using the Twenty-fifth Amendment which mandates removal of a sitting President if he’s unfit in mind or body. If that fantasy had come true, I wonder what plot they had to get rid of VP Pence?
Men of honour and integrity, which these curs weren’t, would have thought long and hard about invoking the twenty-fifth because of the track record of men it might have denied them. Lincoln, plagued by perhaps justified bouts of deepest melancholia, FDR, crippled by pain and polio, JFK who’d twice received the last rights as a child and who could only function as a president under a massive drugs regime to control the pain from a spine that was disintegrating so badly under the twin effects of a degenerative condition and a war injury, he was forced to wear a corset.
Mens sana in corpore sano is a rarer thing in leadership circles than you’d think. It kills them off early or can be the making of them.
There wasn’t a moral compass in sight or any depths they wouldn’t sink to. Anything, just as long as it got rid of the cursed Trump. Things like circulating a so-called pastiche dossier on Trump listing details of his Russian contacts, business and lurid encounters with Russian prostitutes pissing on him were circulated around the Swamp by various traitors like Comey, McCabe, McCain, Clinton, Ohr and other aides to Obama like Abedin and Mills who were prudently granted immediate immunity from prosecution as his last act before scurrying out of the White House.
Since I mentioned Obama, he was alluded to indirectly by the FBI adulterers Peter Strzok and Lisa Page in a text saying the investigation of Trump was coming directly from the White House. More explicitly, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper asserted in a TV interview last week that it was Obama who initiated and ordered the investigation of Trump and those around him.
That investigation orchestrated by deep state Mueller has now been running for over two years, cost millions of dollars and apart from a few procedural misdemeanors on the part of a handful of people, is commonly thought to have produced no proof of collusion, but that won’t stop the fake news running any findings through the propaganda mill.
The arse fell out of a plot that was never really going to work. Believe it or not swamp dwellers, Americans are not that weak-minded, gullible or pliant. Because it was being simultaneously mauled by Trump and ignored by people, fake news became that worst of weapons – one that’s used so often, people learn how to deal with it.
In response, it became ever more extreme, until eventually nobody gave it any credibility at all and since the message was being ignored, the culls in the media began. They weren’t the only one to suffer a near-death credibility experience. All the pundits who’d confidently assured the public he’d never get through the primaries, then never beat Clinton and finally he’d never be a good president, are all now sitting on the sidelines eating shit burgers and being roundly ignored by everyone except those inside the same little Washington bubble.
To everyone else outside the bubble, he’s proven to be a great president, most especially to those who actually matter – the ordinary man in the street. He’s reinvigourated the economy, unemployment is dropping like a stone and in a short time he’s reversed disastrous foreign policies and made America once again a respected global leader among nations. They keep on running the character assassination campaigns to smaller and smaller effect and sneering at the good he’s done for the minorities they’re supposed to be speaking for with their pretense of identity politics.
I thought I was having one of my turns when I read of yet another gay group condemning him for something or anotherand then on looking into it, realised it was for him calling for the decriminalisation of homosexuality around the world. You can’t hope to please everyone, but colour me confused pink on that one.
Trump, who has a devilish mastery of getting the media to totally lose their rag, once taunted them that he could walk out onto Main Street in NY, shoot a total stranger dead in broad daylight in front of a hundred witnesses, and still get elected. You ain’t never seen triggering like what that caused, but like all great insults, at its core there’s an element of truth.
Ordinary people really like him, and would be quite prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt in such circumstances and believe it was a boyish prank, a bit of high spirits or a case of totally justified self-defense. Deal with it. There’s a lot more of them deplorables out there than there are scandalised elitists pursing their lips and pulling on their pearl necklaces in shock and disapproval at Trump.
When a manual or semi-skilled worker irrespective of his circumstances or colour is used to being told by the likes of Obama for years that their jobs are gone and never coming back, and then under Trump’s stewardship those jobs magically reappear, they’re more than smart enough to put that two and two together even without a college education. They balance off what they can actually see happening around them with what the fake news is blaring at them, and they reach for the off button.
The whole thing has backfired badly. The long history of every failed attack on him just makes him more popular than ever, especially as he never misses an opportunity to give big media the finger. Journalism in America has been ruined beyond repair, so-called top men in Washington are being fired, resigning or seeing the leaders of the various plots having their reputations trashed, are distancing themselves.
The only person to come out of this, the most sorry episode in American political history, is Donald John Trump, the 45th President of the United States. Don’t do the usual thing of underestimating him, he knew from the get go that the deep state was determined to regain power by any means possible, and the reality of that was going to be a thinly disguised coup d’etat against an elected President.
They’ve tried to topple him from office using the full arsenal of weapons from the rancid cesspit they live in to lofty feigned indignation of defending the constitution from him, and he’s beaten them at every level and every time. Why he comes out of it smelling good is he fought and beat them on each one of those levels and never once used his powers as an incumbent in such a way as to demean the office of President. Back of his head, he knows that office has to be passed on intact to his successors without the stain of a palace coup on it, or a scar from a momentary dip into dictatorship to be rid of the plotters
He defended the Office from the siege of lesser, corrupt and venal creatures whose success, if he allowed it to succeed, would be the first step onto the road of twenty successive puppet presidents in twenty years who did as they were damn well told by the rich and powerful, or they’d be quickly replaced.
I sense something has happened in the last two or three weeks in Washington, which I can’t ferret out, but there’s a widespread sense of a putsch having failed and lowlives scattering. Suddenly, it’s every shit-sucking scumbag in DC for himself. The watching to see which way it’ll break is over.
Whatever the reason, I don’t think it’s necessary. There may be lots of criminal charges which could be easily laid against prior occupants of such offices of state as Attorney General and assistant AG, Director of the FBI and ditto assistant, but Trump won’t pursue criminal charges because he’s protecting those offices of state.
The old Army consolation about inferior superior ranks implies – you salute the uniform and the higher rank badges on it; not the sometimes venial scumbag inside it.
I know you read classics Mr. President, especially the Romans, and we both know what had to be done when a plot against Caesar was uncovered and foiled. Step one was beating them, which you’ve done, and step two was punishment, which you appear to be declining to do.
A kid, eight or nine years old, wrote you a letter out of the blue offering to mow the White House lawn. I really do keep that close eye on you. After some dickering, a price was agreed, he turned up on the day and duly striped the lawn with you, twice his height and a giant in that massive Crombie coat you favour walking alongside him up and down, all the while the two of you chatting away like two of the gentry pacing their way around St. Stephen’s Green. The White House PR crew never got nearer than 500 yards – I’ve no doubt at your command – as old age and youth at ease in each other’s company went back and forth discussing the world and things. It bespeaks of an unusually kind heart.
If you want to protect the offices, Mr President, cruel examples will have to be made in this unique instance to ensure anything similar will never be contemplated again. People will have to start appearing in courts of law, in public, to answer for their crimes committed against the constitution and the people of America.
