Dear Readers,
This is one of the most important articles I have written, along with this one.
If the Russiagate conspiracy against Trump and American democracy goes unpunished, accountable government in the United States will cease to exist. US security agencies have long been involved in coups against foreign governments. Now they are involved in one against America.
There is great danger that Republicans are so worshipful of "national security" and so determined to protect the reputation of the US government that they will give a pass to the high officials who participated in a conspiracy against the United States.
As for President Trump, he lacks a government that he can count on and is threatened by the military/security complex. The conspiracy could easily be whitewashed as merely a case of the FBI and DOJ not following proper procedures, with the media's participation in the conspiracy being dismissed with mea culpas of "sloppy reporting."
Will The Conspiracy Against Trump and American Democracy Go Unpunished?
"In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations." – Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn
The American people do not realize the seriousness of the Russiagate conspiracy against them and President Trump. Polls indicate that a large majority of the public do not believe that Trump conspired with Putin to steal the presidential election, and are tired of hearing the media prostitutes repeat the absurd story day after day. On its face the story makes no sense whatsoever. Moreover, the leaked emails are real, not fabricated._ The emails show exactly what Hillary and the DNC did. The public knows that these transgressions were pushed out of news sight by the false story of a Trump/Putin conspiracy._ The fact that the entirety of the US print and TV media served in a highly partisan political way to bury a true and disturbing story with a fake news story—Russiagate—is one reason some polls show that only 6% of Americans trust the mainstream media. All polls show that large majorities of independents, Republicans, and youth distrust the mainstream media. In some polls about half of Democrats trust the media, and that is because the media is servant to Democratic Party interests.
Russiagate is a dagger aimed at the heart of American governmental institutions. A conspiracy involving top officials of the Obama Department of Justice, FBI, and other "security" agencies was formed together with Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee, the purpose of which was to defeat Trump in the presidential election and, failing that, to remove Trump from office or to discredit him to the point that he would be reduced to a mere figurehead. This conspiracy has the full backing of the entirely of the mainstream media.
In other words, it was a coup not only against Donald Trump but also against American democracy and the outcome of a presidential election.
There is no doubt whatsoever about this. The facts are publicly available in the declassified Top Secret Memorandum Opinion and Order of the FISA Court and in the declassified report from the House Intelligence Committee—given by the presstitutes the misleading name of the "Nunes Memo," as if it is Nunes' personal opinion and not the findings of months of work by an oversight committee of Congress..
All of this information has been posted on my website for some time. If you have difficulty following my explanation, former US Attorney Joe DiGenova explains the felony actions by the FBI and Obama Justice (sic) Department here.
Briefly, the National Security Agency discovered that the FBI and DOJ were abusing the surveillance system. As a favor of one security agency to another, NSA Director Adm. Rogers permitted the FBI and DOJ to rush to the FISA Court and confess their transgressions before the NSA informed the Court. The FBI and DOJ pretended that their deception of the Court in order to obtain surveillance warrants for highly partisan political purposes was not due to their intent but to procedural mistakes. The FBI and DOJ told the Court that they were tightening up procedures so that this would not happen again. The FISA Court Memorandum and Order clearly states:
"On October 24, 2016, the government orally apprised the Court of significant non-compliance with the NSA's minimization procedures involving queries of data acquired under Section 702 using U.S. person identifiers. The full scope of non-compliant querying practices had not been previously disclosed to the Court."
What this legalese jargon is saying is the the FBI and DOJ confessed to obtaining warrants under false pretexts. These are felonies.
The FISA Court Memorandum and Order is about resolving these deficiencies and returning the FBI and DOJ to legal practices. For example, the Court Memorandum and Order says:
"On January 3, 2017, the government made a further submission describing its efforts to ascertain the scope and causes of those compliance problems and discussing potential solutions to them. See January 3, 2017, Supplemental Notice of Compliance Incidents Regarding the Querying of Section 701-Acquired Data ("January 3, 2017 Notice"). The Court was not satisfied that the government had sufficiently ascertained the scope of the compliance problems or developed and implemented adequate solutions for them and communicated a number of questions and concerns to the government."
In other words, the FBI and DOJ were attempting to make corrections to their "compliance problems" in ways that would allow them to continue to mislead the FISA Court, and the Court wasn't letting them.
The FISA Court Memorandum and Order was released prior to the House Intelligence Committee report and has been completely ignored by the utterly corrupt press prostitutes. The FISA Court Memorandum and Order, relying on the confessions of the FBI and DOJ, verifies the House Intelligence Committee report that the FBI and DOJ illegally obtained spy warrants for partisan political purposes.
Rep. Adam Schiff, a Democrat who is a disgrace to the voters of his California district, to the Democratic Party, and to the House of Representatives, knows full well that the FBI and DOJ deceived the FISA Court. Schiff is so partisan that he lies to the hilt in the face of hard documented evidence from both the FISA Court and his own House committee. Schiff is so totally devoid of all honesty and integrity that he is the perfect leader for a shithole country, something that he and his ilk are turning the United States into.
The honest left—not the Identity Politics left, which is a collection of deranged idiots—does not believe a word of the concocted Russiagate conspiracy against Trump. They object to the Russiagate conspiracy not because they like Trump, which they most certainly do not, but because they understand that it is a lie directed against truth. They understand that the American mainstream media has deserted factual, truthful reporting and serves as a propaganda ministry for the war/police state that American is becoming.
For example, Eric Zuesse holds The Atlantic and its presstitute writer, David A. Graham, to account for lying about the House Intelligence Report.
Andre Damon writes on the World Socialist Web Site:
"The Democratic Party was thrown into disarray Friday after the publication of a classified memo exposing as a factionally-motivated witch hunt the investigation by leading intelligence agencies into the Trump administration's alleged collusion with Russia. . . . The release of the memo once again underscores the fact that the US intelligence agencies have massively intervened in US politics."
The real left, as opposed to the fake left, understands that the people have no chance when the highest officials of the Department of Justice and the security agencies join in a conspiracy against a democratic outcome. When the justice and police authorities have no respect for the truth, as the Russiagate conspiracy proves, the people are doomed. If the FBI-DOJ-DNC-presstitute conspiracy goes unpunished, The Lie will have prevailed over The Truth and all of us will be endangered.
The important question before us is: will the treasonous criminals in the FBI, DOJ, and DNC be indicted and held responsible? Or do high government officials get a pass as do the police who rob and murder citizens and never face justice for their crimes?
From the sound of things, it looks like they will get a pass. Rep. Nunes felt compelled to say on TV how much he likes Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who is a party to the deception of the FISA Court. President Trump says he will not fire the conspirator against him, Robert Mueller, even though both Trump and Mueller know that the Russiagate investigation headed by Mueller is a concocted conspiracy against American democracy and the President of the United States. It seems that high government officials, like state and local police and executives of "banks too big to fail," are above the law.
What about the FISA Court, readers ask, why did the FISA Court let the FBI and DOJ get away with their illegal acquisition of spy warrants? Once the Court knew about it, the Court did not let them get away with it, as the Memorandum and Order makes clear. The FISA Court does not have prosecutorial power to indict and bring a case against the FBI and DOJ criminals. That has to be done by the DOJ, and the DOJ is not going to indict itself.
Former US Attorney Joe DiGenova believes that continuing investigations will result in high officials being indicted, convicted, and sent to prison. If the US is to have any future as a country in which government is accountable to law, it is essential that DiGenova be correct. However, I will believe it when I see it.
Considering i honestly believe we live in a oligarchy...
It's almost irrelevant as to who is the figurehead (aka POTUS)
(Wait for the next celebrity POTUS The Rock or Oprah)
to me all this Russia this/russia that...is exactly what it seems a distraction.
a smokescreen..
Notice how each POTUS leaves the position 5-20x wealthier than when he came in.
Notice how Super PACs & lobbyists control policy in Washington .
Hence why crypto currency scares the "establishment"
-Why banks now wont let you use a CC to buy crypto
-If you use a debit card ,you're getting charged a cash withdrawal fee in addition.
It's a point of control.
He who has the most controls the most.
Without that control,well the playing field is closer to being even.

Unfortunately, it will very likely go unpunished, based on history. Who knows though? The evidence just keeps piling up, so we'll see.
It is DOJ's job to prosecute - but it is so political (donations to Clinton outnumbers Trump donations by 32 to 1) that there is nobody there with sufficient power that is in any way motivated to prosecute this wrong doing.
Justice Department donations this year favor Clinton to Trump 32-1 http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/justice-department-donations-this-year-favor-clinton-to-trump-32-1/article/2606256
Jeff Sessions has been neutralized.
Just look at all the people that stood by and allowed the FISA application to fo forward.

owo, a very nice post friends
i always visit your site and wait for your upcoming post.
@Resteem and follow has been done.
First thanks for share this article and as usual great work
Second many people see that Trump is too smart to be vindictive. He wants to restore America back to something resembling what it once was ie a reflection of her constitution. Since he was elected he has been ripping up Obama's executive orders and starting afresh whilst simultaneously growing the economy.
What he has achieved thus far is simply staggering considering all the crap he has had to put up with. But whats more amazing is how he has out witted and played the Dems / deep state and their presstitute media like a Stradivarius violin.
Trump may not be the slickest or most eloquent of leaders but he is certainly the most intelligent. Just wait until the next Fisa revelations start to drop. These people are running scared - you only have to see their FF attempt with the dumpster truck to know that Trump has them by the balls.
The rot was always at the top and all the way down. Did even one "honest" FBI agent resign and expose the corruption they knew? The FBI M.O. is to entrap witnesses and victims by false or misleading Forms 302 prepared after the questioning and no recording if you've not already been charged. All they need do is ask your associates and family members about all of your interactions and then charge false statements for any inconsistences.
If any of you were to be deposed in a civil matter, you'd know you're allowed to make corrections to any inaccuracies in your testimony before a final transcript is prepared, but with the FBI inaccuracies are crimes to be charged. The reality of human nature is that if everyone perceives the same thing, they've rehearsed it.
thanks for sharing sir
Yes, the American people are awakening from this illusion. As much as I hate to say, the Hillary's and the Bush's should be behind bars, for the lies they keep perpuating and in the process innocent lives have been lost in some of the most unthinkable events such as 9/11 and planned wars in the middle east.
This evil has to stop, work towards decentralizing this power structures, and getting rid of the evil we keep on seeing time and time again.
such a great post! funny and said at the same time... but regardless keep them coming i love to see your posts! @zer0hedge

your article is very worthy to open up our insights. I love it
Trump. Make america great Again.
This is hilarious, how delusional do you have to be to believe in Trumps lies?
The main people behind this sill go free and they will find a couple to take the fall for everyone. I doubt we will be seeing mass arrests to this. People like hillary will never ever see bars no mather what. Its just how the justice system in usa is
The world has changed in many years, but the principle ‘America for Americans’ is still alive, it seems," the Russian ministry said in a statement. "We also note a growing role of Latin America in the modern world. That said, we regard the region as a unique civilizational layer in the developing polycentric world order, with growing participation and role in the operating global governance institutions - the UN, G20, BRICS and APEC."
NİCE POST! THANKS FOR INFORMATIONS
Thanks for imformation sir. upvoted and resteemed
Useful information for me and everyone, thank you for sharing
thanks for information,,,,,
well post.......
I agree that Russiagate is a weapon aimed at the American government institutions,The purpose was to defeat trump in the elections or remove him from office.
good post I've found The main guys behind this doorstep are free and they'll find a partner to fall in love with everyone. I doubt we will see any mass arrests for this. People like hillary will never see bar anything. Its just how the judicial system in the United States
Thanks for you..
Nothings going to happen because this is all part of expanding the empire. In fact, this will just strengthen the 'national security state' mentality that exists in DC., thanks to the military industrial complex.
useful informatio. thanks for shating with us
If the democrats and the mainstream media are plotting against Trump I think the man is not making it easier for his defense through is regular burst. As a president you're not supposed to say everything on your mind.
You keep calm, solve your issues from within. I hope you have read fire and fury, the book gives a detailed explanation of how trump runs his presidency
Trump is a new species of human in late capitalism :)), want to make USA great again, that means stomping on the rest of the world, mostly poor countries...
shithole countries:)
:) Are u ignorant?
Nope, sarcasm.
They are caught , now they will lie to avoid punishment and we got all the evidence against them . But will they be punished ? If they are not punished
they wont stop lieing , they may continue to abuse in future as they did against Trump in the past .
Those traitors needs to be punished else this injustice will continue in America . DOJ has a decision to make, will it be equal justice under the law, or will it be the Washington cesspool incestuous family cabal, where JustUS is the lawless 'golden' rule of the day?
If the justice is not served , then it is an insult to the patriotic soul that sacrificed for the greast cause .
If no one in the Obama administration goes to prison, that means the US is a banana republic with no rule of law.
great post thank
I hope all will be well!
Trump was liked better by the media as a businessman compare to now a president.

Thank you for your post. I liked your information, you conducted a painstaking job, a good post
@zer0hedge, is that a really conspiracy? I really don't know since I am Brazilian and I'm not notified of everything that happens in USA, however, like Dilma's presidency, people whose is against her said that wasn't conspiracy and people who was in favor said that was a conspiracy.
Your concerns about the current corrupt government have been in play since JFK which has gone unpunished by keeping the lie going and the people involved that are still alive walking around free. When we did not resolve that we were doomed and it has only escalated.
Indeed a lot of conspiracy has been going on against Trump. And although this is a sign of a democratic state... this is beyond acceptable. Trump amidst all the conspiracies against him was elected by the people. The Americans were willing to stand with him despite what they said against him. All the Americans saw was a leader who does and not just says. Something that has been missing in many of American governments.
If the people are standing with Trump, then the critics spearheading the conspiracy theories against Trump are questioning the will of the people that elected him. This I believe should go punished.
Though a review on how to punish should be looked at to avoid international bodies from siding with the opposition.
The media is misusing it's rights, only looking at how to maximise profits by engaging in discussions that critic the government, these should be the first culprits to be disciplined as they are misleading the people and creating harmful propaganda.
Great post @zer0hedge. You've spoken for the American people.
Is it me or the shadows behind trump look like Obama? Is that on purpose?
