The scandal simply will not go away. No matter how mightily our Caesar Disgustus
struggles to obfuscate, mislead, confuse, blame and raise wholly bogus complaints
of election fraud, wiretapping, and other nefarious misdeeds by enemies’ and
forces real or imagined, the scandal simply will not go away.
Of course, to listen to Disgustus tell it the
“Russian Story” is an entire fabrication concocted by the Democrats to explain
away, in his words, “losing an election they should have won”. Like everything else emanating from the mouth
of this man there is always a tidbit of truth.
In this case the Democrats should have won, and won hands down were it
not for the machinations of forces within the Democratic Party securing the
nomination of the only person on the planet capable of losing to this man; and,
it is becoming increasingly apparent, forces within the Rescumlican Party
reaching from the Kremlin all the way into the highest echelons of the tRUMP
campaign and the Rescumlican Party working to ensure the outcome.
But, it appears, there may be a bit more to
the story. According to several news
sources it appears that as early as 2015 foreign intelligence agencies, among
them Estonia, Poland, Germany, France, Israel and Australia while monitoring
the activities of several principles within the murky world where Russian
Intelligence, Russian political leadership and the Russian Mafia combine, were
bumping into information regarding contacts between these actors and people
associated with the tRUMP campaign. It
was these agencies that first brought this issue to the attention of the FBI
and American Intelligence. Other sources
have also surfaced, including the famous “Steele Dossier”, put together by a
former British MI6 agent and funded first by an unnamed opponent of tRUMP in
the Republican primaries, and later by a Democratic operative. Much of it today remains unsubstantiated, but
much of it has been verified. There is still, however, no word on the veracity
of the salacious account involving tRUMP and Russian Prostitutes involving acts
of urination known as “Golden Showers”.
What we do know from all of this is that to date at least nine different
tRUMP associates have been identified as having contacts with the Russians
before and after the election including, it is rumored, tRUMP himself. Precisely what was exchanged at these
meetings is under investigation but, in the words of John McCain, “This is beginning
to resemble Watergate and more shoes are bound to fall”.
This much we do know. All 17 U.S. Intelligence Agencies agree with
“High Confidence” (read “Dead Certainty”) that the Russians meddled in our
election in order to elect one bombastic, willfully ignorant megalomaniac with
a vocabulary of about 700 words and the attention span measured in nanoseconds
to the presidency of the United States.
They did so, it is held, because Vladimir Putin, angered by the actions
of then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to question the legitimacy of his
re-election, was moved to retaliate. It
wasn’t that Putin thought he could win the election, it was that by backing a
man this unstable, this vengeful, this paranoid, and animated by this level of
complete mendacity he had found a man who promised to shake the political
process and, therefore, the legitimacy of the most powerful republic on the
planet. Here was a golden opportunity
for tRUMP, win or lose, is in the parlance of Russian Intelligence, a most “useful
idiot”. It is not difficult to imagine
the chaos Disgustus would now be wreaking upon the republic had he lost the
election. Can there be any doubt as to
his response? Calling the election
“rigged” and “fake”, whining that the office-- which, in the mind of Disgustus,
is so rightfully his—could only have been lost by having it ‘stolen’ from
him. Can there now be any doubt that
having lost he would be presently barnstorming the country demanding justice
and doing everything within the power of “Faux News” and mendacity itself to
delegitimize the Clinton administration.
Perhaps, it is feared, there would have been armed rebellion.
But to WIN the election! Oh, what a delicious prospect for Putin that
would be! What better candidate could
one possibly conjure who, placed at the vortex of political power, is better
suited to vandalize and wreak entire havoc upon one’s greatest adversary? tRUMP’s staggering ignorance alone would
almost insure the project. Add to this
his breathtaking incompetence and the stench of his malignant personality and
one has the perfect ‘useful idiot’; a vandal capable of nothing save damaging,
destroying, defacing, and besmirching virtually everything and everyone about
him. For let there be no mistake about
it: anyone who associates with this man is belittled thereby and reputation
besmirched.
Putin, a former head of the old Soviet KGB,
knows something about personality profiling.
He also knows something about political power. He knows that a man with tRUMP’s resources
and tRUMP’s personality would make for a very toxic mix, win or lose. And like any good geostrategist Putin, always
thinking at least six steps ahead, found in our Disgustus the perfect foil—a
man who, among other things, cannot see beyond his nose much less around any
corner. So, leading his idiot by the
nose, Putin helped Disgustus assume the throne.
The broad outlines are there and the details
will, no doubt, be forthcoming. All our
intelligence agencies agree that the Russians interfered in our election. They hacked into not only the Democratic
National Committee and Clinton Campaign Manager John Podesta’s emails but also
into the electoral rolls of at least 22 states and several congressional
campaigns. They spread disinformation
about Hillary on the anti-social networks Facebook and Twitter. They may, and probably did, have done much
more.
But what isn’t emphasized in the reporting
here in the States is that Disgustus, upon receiving this aid and comfort from
our adversary began to change policies and ape the Kremlin line concerning
elections in republican countries. On
orders from Disgustus himself, and with the Russian Ambassador looking on, the
Rescumlican Party did an immediate ‘about-face’ on Ukraine, changing its platform
from support of the Ukrainian nationals over Crimea to supporting Putin and
Russia. tRUMP immediately, again aping the Kremlin’s line, began to warn that
the election was rigged, and that the only way he could lose would be through
outright theft.
Faced with a growing chorus of questions
about Russian interference and his role in it, tRUMP dismissed U.S.
Intelligence, denigrated the agencies, and parroted the Kremlin line, and then
set about undermining our western alliances by questioning the need for NATO,
suggesting that the U.S. may no longer honor the provision to come to the aid
of any member of the alliance under attack, and demanding—like some slumlord
running a tenement—that the member states belly-up to the bar and “pay their
fair share”. This, of course, has
served to undermine one of the great alliances that has kept the peace in
Europe for over 70 years; a principle policy goal of Putin and the Kremlin
since NATO’s expansions into Eastern Europe right up to the doorstep of Russia
itself. Once again, Disgustus has
demonstrated by undermining our alliances—even to the point of refusing to
shake the hand of the German Chancellor-- how useful an idiot he has become in
the furtherance of Russian national interests.
In the memorable words of Senator Sam Irvin
presiding over the Senate Select Committee investigating Watergate: “If it
looks like a horse, walks like a horse and sounds like a horse, one can
reasonably assume it’s a horse.”
As we speak, former tRUMP National Security
Advisor Michael Flynn, known to have met with the Russians before and after the
election and suspected of undermining Obama’s response to the Russian
interference by promising reversal of policy upon tRUMP’s inauguration, has
offered to sing in exchange for immunity from prosecution. So far no one has taken him up on it.
