Suddenly, the fate of RFK Jr and his mission to improve US health against the weight of the Big Pharma/Health Care cartel is all that stands between Trump and overall failure in his second term.
As noted in the post referenced, Trump already alienated perhaps a 15% of his base with his choosing the D.C. Beltway Debt Machine Industry over Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency.
He alienated another 10% (allowing for overlap with the Musk contingent) by effectively abandoning Make America Great Again in favor of Make Israel Our Master. That would include his ham-fisted cover up of Mossad asset Jeffrey Epstein’s files, his green lighting of genocide in Gaza and the West Bank, and now his desecrating the grave of Charlie Kirk with Bibi Netanyahu supplied images. Perhaps more devastating to our nation is Trump’s attempting to push through legislation that would punish Americans and foreigners who participate in boycotts of Israel over its apartheid and genocide policies. Clearly, censorious actions anathema to the First Amendment rights to not only speech but to association (See the constitutional right to boycott, NAACP v. Claiborne Hardware Co., United States Supreme Court 458 U.S. 886 (1982)).
Trump alienated another 10% (allowing for overlap with the above two contingents) with his kow-towing to the Military-Industrial Complex and EU’s simp leadership fraternity to abdicate responsibility for ending the Ukraine war.
He had already achieved some 25% of his base seriously alienated when he drove the latest nail into his movement’s figurative coffin.
I watched real time how roughly 50% of Trump’s supporters expressed on social media that Pam Bondi’s head would be made to roll by Trump when he saw what a dog’s breakfast she made by a) promising to release the Epstein files, followed by b) claiming the files did not exist. I also watched a lower percentage of them let it go when Trump doubled down on Bondi’s fraud.
Today, I believe we are down to Trump’s last stand being Bobby Kennedy turning the Departments of Health and Human Services inside out. It began this morning when we witnessed Pam Bondi’s second major bone-headed foot bullet. She promised to hunt down and prosecute ‘hate speech’, a clear-cut violation of the First Amendment and patent censorship:
What is so telling in terms of the depth or her, and as we shall see Trump’s, lack of awareness is that she is invoking the name of Charlie Kirk in order to do so. Here is what Kirk said about prosecuting “hate speech”:
Hate speech does not exist legally in America. There's ugly speech. There's gross speech. There's evil speech.
And ALL of it is protected by the First Amendment.
Again, X was lit up with people predicting Trump removing Bondi as attorney general for such insanity. But, by now Trump’s response ought to have been predictable. It couldn’t be more constitution-blind and self-absorbed:
President Trump suggested today that media outlets are engaging in “hate speech” by being “unfair” to him and “maybe” should be prosecuted.
Trump’s statement demonstrates the inherent danger of “hate speech” laws: Those in power will always weaponize them to silence dissent. pic.twitter.com/Zs6OV05aXs
Perhaps he’s headed the route Biden went, slowly slipping into darkness? Whatever the cause, Trump either wakes up and reverses course fast or MAGA is headed down a slippery slope of no return.
What we have been exploring for the past 18 months is the systematic programming of American minds by the powers that be. What I intend to demonstrate through the Scientology history is an understandable microcosm of those mind control processes that continue to play out to this day in American society at large.
The first major revelations of the secret control mechanisms utilized by the shadow government (the deep state or cult of intelligence) was made by President John F. Kenney’s Chief of Operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty. In his 1972 book The Secret Team (updated and re-released in 2011 by Skyhorse Publishing) Prouty detailed how teams of lifetime intelligence members manipulate Presidents, Congress, media, academia and industry in order to forward the aims’ of an aristocracy while leaving the American people powerless and in the dark.
Two years later a former CIA agent Victor Marchetti followed in Prouty’s footsteps, corroborating the latter while disclosing a tremendous amount of new material. His book, co-authored with former State Department official John Marks, The CIA And The Cult Of Intelligence (1974, Alfred K. Knopf) was a detailed expose of CIA methods used to carry out secret foreign policy as well as domestic operations to keep the American public in the dark as well as to eliminate dissent. It is noteworthy that Marchetti and Marks chose the word “cult” to describe what they investigated. This was near the inception of the “cult scare craze” of the seventies – which, perhaps not coincidentally, had the CIA’s fingerprints all over it.
What follows are quotes taken from the first chapter of The CIA And The Cult of Intelligence. This chapter describes the cult that runs the United States government unseen by the public and largely unaffected by elected officials including members of Congress and Presidents. The book (in conjunction with Prouty’s) answers the age-old question, “how is it that a democratically elected government seems to continually operate 180 degrees contrary to the will of the electorate?” The first chapter neatly and accurately sums it up.
“There exists in our nation today a powerful and dangerous secret cult – the cult of intelligence. Its holy men are the clandestine professionals of the Central Intelligence Agency. Its patrons and protectors are the highest officials of the federal government. Its membership, extending far beyond government circles, reaches into the power centers of industry, commerce, finance and labor. Its friends are many in the areas of important public influence – the academic world and the communications media. The cult of intelligence is a secret fraternity of the American political aristocracy…
…The cult is intent upon conducting the foreign affairs of the U.S. government without the awareness or participation of the people. It recognizes no role for a questioning legislature or an investigative press. Its adherents believe that only they have the right and the obligation to decide what is necessary to satisfy the national needs…
…For adherents to this cult of intelligence, hypocrisy and deception, like secrecy, have become standard techniques for preventing public awareness of the CIA’s clandestine operations, and government accountability for them. And these men who ask that they be regarded as honorable men, true patriots, will, when caught in their own webs of deceit, even assert that the government has an inherent right to lie to its people…
…A good part of the CIA’s power position is dependent upon its careful mythologizing and glorification of the exploits of the clandestine profession. Sometimes this even entails fostering a sort of perverse public admiration for the covert practices of the opposition intelligence services – to frighten the public and thereby justify the actions of the CIA…
…As the opportunities for covert action abroad dwindle and are thwarted, those with careers based in clandestine methods are increasingly tempted to turn their talents inward against the citizens of the very nation they profess to serve. Nurtured by the adversary setting of the Cold War, shielded by secrecy, and spurred by patriotism that views dissent as a threat to the national security, the clandestine operatives of the CIA have the capability, the resources, the experience – and the inclination – to ply their skills increasingly on the domestic scene.”
If you take the time to read the work of Prouty, Marchetti and Marks (also author of The Search For The Manchurian Candidate – cited in several recent posts) you will be see receipts in plenty proving virtually every bold-faced word above. Notice how accurately this chapter describes our current state of affairs, fifty years later. It may not be immediately noticeable as our minds have been conditioned by the very operation described. Prouty, Marchetti, Marks, Daniel Ellsberg (Pentagon Papers) were ruthlessly attacked and targeted for censorship by the cult of intelligence and its legal and media arms. They survived as did their work. Yet, their works have subsequently been largely forgotten because of the efforts of an aristocracy (cult) that has spent trillions to distract our attention from looking at the Secret Team behind the curtain pulling the levers. Like frogs sitting half-unconscious in a pot full of water that is gradually increasing in temperature, we have become numb to the steady erosion of our civil rights that has ensued.
More recently, when the types of disclosures that were made in the seventies were made, the works never gained much currency and the authors (whistleblowers) were imprisoned and driven into silence or exile (Edward Snowden, Bradley Manning, Julian Assange). And we apparently have been too distracted and conditioned to even care.
I believe we ought to be watching current affairs with eyes wide open. As much as the media is devoted to sowing division (see Matt Taibbi’s Hate, Inc.: Why Today’s Media Makes Us Despise One Another), I believe there is something folks from both sides of the aisle ought to be paying attention to. That is something that has not occurred for over 60 years in this country. I am referring to President Trump’s clear (if you watch closely) toe to toe confrontation with the deep state (aka cult of intelligence, secret team). Whether you agree with Trump’s policies or disagree there is little question that he is facing down the cult. Whether he caves, is taken down, or triumphs may determine whether civil liberties are restored or are extinguished – in their entirety – in a relative short period of time.* Incidentally, Trump has shown signs of caving in, being taken down, and of triumphing in this struggle. What cannot be denied is the fact of the struggle.
Recall this John F. Kennedy reminiscence by former US Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas regarding the aftermath of the Bay of Bigs fiasco: “This episode seared him. He had experienced the extreme power that these groups had, these various insidious influences of the CIA and the Pentagon on civilian policy, and I think it raised in his own mind the specter: Can Jack Kennedy, President of the United States ever be strong enough to really rule these two powerful agencies? I think it had a profound effect…it shook him up!”
*Never in the history of the United States has there ever been a greater encroachment on Freedom of speech and expression than during the years 2020-2024. If you doubt that, read this blog from 20 March, 2024 forward.
The Trump administration has done yeoman’s work in dismantling much of the federal government funded and directed censorship operations put in place since 2020. However, many administration supporters (some erstwhile) are expressing fears that Trump is implementing a new form of censorship. Worse, in spite of all the “America first” rhetoric this censorship is done at the behest of a foreign country.
Trump is rightfully cutting back federal funding to the socialist higher education scam. However, some of the conditions set for maintaining funding in effect amount to censorship. The administration is requiring avowals to censor speech concerning Israel as condition for continued funding. The censorious nature of the operation is obscured by its implementers wrapping themselves in the anti-‘antisemitism’ flag. But, the speech they are seeking to suppress and control is not about Semites or Jews. It is about a nation, the state of Israel, and its unpopular and ugly war policies and conduct.
The Attorney General has announced investigations into several universities for failure to crack down on speech criticizing Israel, couching it as a fight against “antisemitism.” A number of prominent critics of Israel’s war conduct have been targeted for immediate deportation for no other apparent reason than speaking against Israel’s military actions against civilians.
Most recently the administration announced the withholding of disaster relief funds from states that allow boycotts of Israeli companies, see Trump’s Base Fragments Further. The US Supreme Court has long held that boycott is a form of speech, expression, assembly and petition all protected by the First Amendment to the US Constitution, see NAACP v. Claiborne Hardware Co., 458 U.S. 886 (1982). The administration apparently reeled this one back only after outrage on X went mega viral. In doing so, the Department of Homeland Security doubled down on its commitment to combat lawful boycotts: “DHS will enforce all anti-discrimination laws and policies, including as it relates to the BDS movement, which is expressly grounded in antisemitism. Those who engage in racial discrimination should not receive a single dollar of federal funding.”
Trump’s deference and allegiance to Bibi Netanyahu has been taken to almost comically absurd proportions. Several high administration officials are making embarrassing public acts of supplication to Israel. Once considered a straight shooter, Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino was recently asked in an interview about his official duties, “what is the cause that really is closest to his heart?” He replied, “Israel. Defense of Israel.” Quite an odd answer for a DOMESTIC law enforcement official. The FBI should have zero regard or loyalty to any foreign country. To make matters worse his boss, FBI Director Kash Patel piled on, saying “America will prioritize Israel, and we stand by our number one ally.” Perhaps the US ambassador to Israel might get away with a statement slightly less extreme, but not the chief of the top DOMESTIC law enforcement agency.
Such concerns are intensified by Trump’s recent 180 degree flipflop shift on the Ukraine war. After two years of promising to end it before day one of his Presidency, he has since announced falling into line with Biden’s obsequious compliance to the will of the Military Industrial Complex. He has gone as far as publicly sucking up to the senate’s premiere Neo Con Lindsey Graham, resuming US funding of the war, and repositioning nuclear submarines over defensive statements made by a former Russian President.
Should Trump not come to his senses and reverse this censorious and oddly compliant course of conduct, not only will “America First” become an empty phrase, but people will begin to wonder, and perhaps investigate, what hold Israel and/or the Military Industrial Complex might have on him that would explain his radical shift of behavior.
Wild times. We best stay alert to the winds of change.
More on USAID, the CIA black ops and DNC grift bank, that spends a great deal of your tax money on evil and waste. Yeah, the audit of which leading democrats are attempting to cause an insurrection over.
From Mike Benz, today’s foremost whistleblower/researcher on government corruption:
Before you look at the next one, reminder. Politico was the “news” outlet that Joe Biden’s people chose to release the phony-CIA-created story that the Hunter Biden laptop (documenting Biden’s multi million dollar grift in the pay of the Chinese and Ukrainians) was a creation of Russian intelligence:
Are you seeing much of these facts in your corporate media coverage of numbskull, corrupt politicians screaming that the end of the world is neigh because we are finally going to get a US government audit? Of course not, your taxpayer dollars are going toward paying corporate media NOT to show you the facts. Here is what corporate media is showing vs. what they didn’t show you during the last three major, mishandled natural disasters:
On January 20th the White House took the first step toward the restoration of the lost right to freedom of speech in America (the sole purpose of this blog during the entire year of 2024). Here is the exact text of the order:
FEDERAL CENSORSHIP
EXECUTIVE ORDER
January 20, 2025
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Purpose.The First Amendment to the United States Constitution, an amendment essential to the success of our Republic, enshrines the right of the American people to speak freely in the public square without Government interference. Over the last 4 years, the previous administration trampled free speech rights by censoring Americans’ speech on online platforms, often by exerting substantial coercive pressure on third parties, such as social media companies, to moderate, deplatform, or otherwise suppress speech that the Federal Government did not approve. Under the guise of combatting “misinformation,” “disinformation,” and “malinformation,” the Federal Government infringed on the constitutionally protected speech rights of American citizens across the United States in a manner that advanced the Government’s preferred narrative about significant matters of public debate. Government censorship of speech is intolerable in a free society.
Sec. 2. Policy. It is the policy of the United States to: (a) secure the right of the American people to engage in constitutionally protected speech;
(b) ensure that no Federal Government officer, employee, or agent engages in or facilitates any conduct that would unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen;
(c) ensure that no taxpayer resources are used to engage in or facilitate any conduct that would unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen; and
(d) identify and take appropriate action to correct past misconduct by the Federal Government related to censorship of protected speech.
Sec. 3. Ending Censorship of Protected Speech. (a) No Federal department, agency, entity, officer, employee, or agent may act or use any Federal resources in a manner contrary to section 2 of this order.
(b) The Attorney General, in consultation with the heads of executive departments and agencies, shall investigate the activities of the Federal Government over the last 4 years that are inconsistent with the purposes and policies of this order and prepare a report to be submitted to the President, through the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, with recommendations for appropriate remedial actions to be taken based on the findings of the report.
Sec. 4. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
THE WHITE HOUSE,
January 20, 2025.
Would you like to see a simple, graphic sum up of all you need to know about corporate media and their deep-security state bosses? Look no further than CNN’s headline response to the free speech executive order:
“Disinformation experts blast Trump’s executive order on government censorship as ‘direct assault on reality’“
No matter how much you distrust and dislike corporate media, you do not distrust or dislike them enough.
In the spring of 1959 Edward Hunter, an intelligence agent posing as a journalist, described to a Senate committee the discovery of a then-unknown technique called “mind attack” – a method for changing people’s minds to make them love things they once hated and/or hate things they once loved. Mind attack (or mind control) tactics were further exposed in the 1970’s by L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology and a former U.S. naval office familiar with intelligence techniques. He published an essay in the 1970s that warned of a dastardly government intelligence trick of thought control through censorship and propaganda. He suggested the Intelligence Community (IC) had been utilizing this method for years and that unchecked it could have detrimental effects on society. The technique was propaganda execution by way of redefining words (Orwellian Newspeak if you will). At that very time, Scientology was a recognized religion and was in the process of being redefined by Big Pharma and the IC as a ‘cult’. With that label comes suspension of civil rights and human liberties. Because it wasn’t other folks’ ox being obviously gored, few paid attention to the process but accepted the result. If you look you will learn that such techniques are being applied far more broadly today. Unless the level of state media and internet control is reversed, some of our most important societal leaders will ultimately be dismissed as quacks and cult members. Central to the operation is propaganda by redefinition of words.
The Neo Liberal Orders’ Censorship/Propaganda Industrial Complex (CPIC) is playing out George Orwell’s 1984 by implementing Newspeak. In 1984 Newspeak sums up as WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, and IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH. Today we add to the lexicon, PLUTOCRACY IS DEMOCRACY, CENSORSHIP IS FREEDOM OF SPEECH, VIOLENCE/VANDALISM IS LAW/ORDER.
Many are seeing this, including heads of the sovereign states remaining defiant against the Neo Liberal Order push for global autocratic rule. Here is Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban alerting to it earlier this year:
“In the past the communists employed a five-step procedure to subjugate us by stealth. Now the progressives are emulating them. With these five steps they are turning the organs of the state into tools of oppression.
First, they reformulate norms. George Orwell saw this, and described it thus: “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” The first step in the progressive liberals’ program of oppression is to take a norm and give it the precisely opposite meaning. “War is peace” is something that progressives also say today. “Peace facility”: this is the name of the Brussels financial fund from which they send the most destructive weapons to the front. “Migration is a resource”, they say—while crime rises, the threat of terrorism increases, and trust is drained from our societies.”
A lot of this sinister word play is already firmly entrenched in the corporate media and organized education in America. For example, a couple years ago we were overwhelmed with scare tactics to drop objections to the Biden Administration’s INFLATION REDUCTION ACT. Yet, since its shotgun passage, inflation has continued to be a scourge to all but the top .1 %. To those in the know, the result was obvious since the bill accelerated already out of control government spending. Recently a former Federal Reserve Bank governor was asked what can we possibly do to scale back runaway inflation. His only answer was to reign in the INFLATION REDUCTION ACT. I other words, what the establishment serves to us as the solution, in fact is the problem Propaganda by redefinition of words at work. You see government stooges (from New Times columnists to all network talking head “experts”) scolding the masses that they can’t get it through their thick skulls “Bidenomics is killing it”, while increasing portions of the population go under to rising inflation and fewer job advancement opportunities.
Today Big Brother, through its CPIC, is literally peddling STUPIDITY IS LITERACY. And they are coming for your children. The government is doing it through Orwellian titled “media literacy” programs. They are designed to inculcate school children with the idea that the only true information is Big Brother authorized information. In other words, discouraging curiosity, exploration, research, and critical thinking. They are trying to force kids to accept information only from the folks who tell them that they must agree to the INFLATION REDUCTION ACT while its implementation eats away their paychecks with more spiraling inflation. They are telling them that the only truth is what they are fed through government agencies, or their fully controlled news organs, to wit, Wikipedia, and the “legacy” or “mainstream” corporate media.
It is spreading like a cancer. Preeminent CPIC expert Mike Benz explains:
Hence, Ignorance is Literacy.
Remember the NLO (New Liberal Order) intelligentsia’s constant lament a few years ago: “how are we ever going to progress if we don’t agree on the facts?” (as they see them of course). Thus, the rise of the CPIC. Censorship and Propaganda in unprecedented quantities notwithstanding, the NLO still can’t control minds sufficiently to stay in power. Thus, the need to reprogram our minds by rewriting the very language we’ve slowly and surely developed and become accustomed to over the past 10,000 years. At what point does enough become enough?
The other 4 Steps of modern-day mind control that Prime Minister Orban refers to above are also instructive:
The second step is to use the instruments of the state to start spreading this inverted normality. Anyone who thinks otherwise is problematic: there is something wrong with them. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either ignorant or insane. The perception must be created that listening to them would lead to some fatal catastrophe.
Then comes the third step, when they spread the word that because you hold dangerous views, you are also a security risk. They set some sort of fact-checker or democracy watchdog on you, and it is established that you do not share the views of normality that they preach, and that therefore you are a radical whose freedom of speech they need not hesitate to restrict.
Then, in the fourth step, they incite the liberal press to attack you. Activists are mobilized, and then you are silenced through litigation. This leads to the sphere of fake depictions of you on the internet, denunciation on social media, and a horde of civil society entities bombarding the courts and state bodies with accusations against you.
And if you survive all that, the fifth step is for state bodies to spring into action. They have received so many complaints and accusations that they are obliged to investigate you. This is how public bodies become the private institutions of the progressives. They find that the accusations in the media and the concerns of the watchdogs are well founded, they indict you, and in the end state bodies are used to silence you. This is what they do to Hungary in Brussels, and this is what they do to conservatives in progressive liberal European capitals. The same thing is happening in the United States, where court proceedings are being used to try to remove President Donald Trump from the ballot. This is what happened in the European Union when they tried to use administrative procedures to impose a travel ban on Tucker Carlson. It is happening in Germany, where political parties are being monitored by the intelligence services. And it happened in Finland, when they wanted to prosecute a politician and a bishop for quoting Scripture.
As it happens Orban turns out to be pretty accurate. What he did not predict was what comes next when all of the above doesn’t work. Well, we have now seen that too.
After the United States government (with its compliant corporate media) applied steps 1-5 above toward front-running candidate, former-president Donald Trump, they tried to murder him in cold blood on national television:
Two months later, with virtually no accountability assumed for its abject failures during the first assassination attempt, they tried again:
The first assassin had unexplained connections to the FBI: First Assassin .
The second assassin had unexplained connections to the CIA:
One could call these connections ‘conspiracy theories’, but that would be incorrect. They are far more concrete and factual than any explanation (or lack thereof) that government agencies have provided on the assassination attempts to date.
Acting like a third world banana republic dictatorship, the United States government and its lapdog corporate media has all but buried the stories of back to back assassination attempts on President Trump, while they continue to promote further attempts.
On the eve of perhaps the most hotly contested Presidential election in United States history, what is next?
The grand inquisitor of the infamous congressional J6 committee (Jamie Raskin) promises to deny the will of the people should they favor Trump on election day. Consequently, he contends the D.C. oligarchy is preparing for “Civil War conditions” (by the way difficult to find on Youtube or Bing videos):
Never mind that Raskin promises to do what he and the corporate media falsely tried and convicted Trump of in the J6 show trials. All of this hypocritical hocus pocus is possible only in an Orwellian world where the very definitions of words are fungible, depending on one’s political beliefs or affiliation. Should the left lose and CIA rent-a-riot squads take to the streets (ala summer of 2020, BLM/Antifa) extreme property destruction and violence will be called “mostly peaceful demonstrations.” Should the left lose, if there is any completely peaceable conservative acts of protest the corporate media will call them “violent insurrection.” In the official D.C. vernacular Insurrection will become Law and Order and vice versa depending on which train of thought prevails.
To ensure that both sides of the aisle are equally incensed come election day, corporate media has come up with a far-fetched, pearl-clutching theory. On the eve of the election the New York Times (flanked by the Washington Post) issued a heavily promoted “story” that declared that conservatives expressing doubt of the fairness of the 2020 election undermines public confidence in the 2024 election. They conclude such views should have been censored by YouTube and because they were not, the 2024 election has somehow been compromised.
No matter what side you are on, brace yourself. Big Brother’s colossal mismanagement of affairs guarantees that whichever side loses will believe and behave as if it were cheated.
Alex Gibney sets his sights on bringing down Elon Musk
Alex Gibney seems to be fond of rushing to comply with oligarchy-friendly deadlines. He is reported to be feverishly attempting to get a major smear on Elon Musk released before the November election. Musk is the last bastion of free speech and press in America and believes President Trump is particularly motivated to restore those rights. Musk’s support might be Trump’s strongest chance of success. Thus, the oligarchy has clear motivation for taking Musk out of the running. Gibney has a history of delivering October surprises against Trump in particular; populists being anathema to continued oligarchy rule. If Gibney doesn’t make the deadline you can count on him leading the First-Amendment-burning pack post election.
In October 2020 Gibney rushed out his hit piece on Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 Pandemic. After it helped serve the oligarchy’s purpose of defeating Trump, virtually all of its major premises were proven utterly false (see Whistleblower Character Assassin). Gibney as much as admitted his motivations in a “progressive” love fest with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes: “It [Trump Pandemic hit] was intended to come out just before the election of 2020 as a referendum on Trump’s handling of the COVID crisis.”
Gibney’s documentary series Enemies: The President, Justice and the FBI came out (November 2018) a few months before Special Prosecutor Muller’s report on the Russia Hoax (April 2019). In context, Gibney’s work looks like a patent attempt to influence the outcome of the investigation. It is a four-episode series. Gibney had some lackies at his production company direct the first three episodes. Those segments view like an FBI recruitment film. They are thoroughly left-leaning propaganda pieces exalting the FBI as a democracy-saving institution time and again. Gibney has his boys position the FBI as superior to the office to which its charter makes it serve at the pleasure of: the Presidency. It is pure autocratic propaganda (in the East German and Soviet traditions) in that it elevates the bureaucracy (read politburo) over the will of the people. Even elected Presidents must bow at the altar of the unelected deep state. Gibney gives a new meaning to shallow in using the Watergate and Iran-Contra scandals to serve as narratives for his conclusion: FBI career men equal good, elected Republican Presidents equal evil. All the while he continually – almost by subliminal deception – associates Trump to the alleged sins of Nixon and Reagan (as if they are the same corrupt being occupying three separate bodies). By this technique Gibney murders history, turning scoundrels into saints and turning populists into satans.
Once this us vs. them, cowboys vs. indians simplistic look at history is established, Gibney takes over the reins to personally direct the final segment: a no-holds-barred WWE-like attempted take down of President Trump.
Gibney ham-fistedly pounds on his designated enemy while genuflecting at the feet of his deep state benefactors. Perhaps even worse than former communist bloc propaganda, within months of its release the events it reports as inevitable turns of history prove to be 180 degree opposite to reality (some of the commie prop took decades to discredit). Eventually, virtually every major thesis of Gibney’s propaganda is found to be erroneous in one definitive, authoritative report (see REPORT ON MATTERS RELATED TO INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES AND INVESTIGATIONS ARISING OUT OF THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS). This 100% discreditation of the foundation of the documentary is precisely what occurred with Gibney’s COVID-19 character assassination attempt, see Big Brother Storyteller II.
Enemies liberally uses a now well-worn propaganda technique that Gibney apparently stole from a couple of rookie filmmakers when going after Scientology. See Gibney Propaganda Technique). That is, Gibney’s cast consists of media people who narrate and comment, merrily mixing opinion and spin with ‘fact.’ Gibney compensates for the lack of evidence to support the official narrative by having his media hacks characterize the “evidence” he does submit. One recurring talking head is Garrett Graff known for many gigs as the smooth talking ‘expert’ on cheesy cable channel documentaries. Media analyst Howard Kurtz exposed how Graff wound up with that role, “Garrett Graff spent enough time as a campaign flack to learn the art of the politically adept reply.” That was precisely the skill Gibney called on, having Graff backfill evidentiary holes with slippery characterizations.
The amateur-hour like opening frames are instructive of Gibney’s motives and methods:
Faceless, unattributed voice from nowhere (whiningly and ominously):
“The idea that the President would fire an FBI Director in the middle of the Russian investigation is unthinkable!”
Garret Graff (dramatically and incredulously):
“This was the target of an investigation trying to choose the person who is investigating him.”
Gibney himself (with pearl-clutching concern):
“And what kind of constitutional problem is that to him?”
Graff (literally chuckling and guffawing like a junior high school punk giving someone a wedgie):
“A HUGE one, hardy, har, har, har!”
Let’s break that passage down.
The film’s first premise is false. It was very “thinkable” that a president would fire an FBI director who was actively leaking privileged communications to corporate media in an attempt to smear and harm the President with false charges, which is precisely what proved to be the case.
The second premise of the film was false. The President was not the target of the investigation, and he was not being investigated according to public statements then-recently made by that very FBI director who was fired.
The third premise of the film was a complete invention by Alex Gibney; there was no constitutional issue whatsoever. The FBI director serves at the pleasure of the President. End of story. But, Gibney goes on for another hour desperately trying to stick it to Trump.
And that is just the intro, before the opening credits are even through rolling across the screen.
The very first frames of the body of the film show that traitorous FBI director James Comey literally yucking it up a year later with Stephen Colbert while sipping wine on television. Gibney then spends an hour trashing Trump on the innuendo (no facts, pure smear by association and demonization) of a documented liar. The ‘victim’ of Gibney’s piece turned out to be perhaps the most infamous prima donna drama queen of the 21st Century.
Gibney follows with a virtual dog and pony show of deep state hacks and corporate media shills dramatically laying down every lie of the greatest hoax of the 21st Century; that is the big Russia Scare (see, A Guide To Understanding the Hoax of the Century). Perhaps the biggest and most important whopper of them all was the Big Lie that was repeated over and over again by Comey, a plethora of FBI lackies, and the corporate media: The Russians hacked the DNC and provided the info to the Trump campaign. That served as the foundation for the bigger lie of a broad, verified Russian infiltration campaign to control the 2016 election outcome.
Gibney went into propaganda overdrive on this one. He provided a heap of special effects cyberworld graphics to dramatize the hack, while his talking heads filled in the gaps to implant the lie visually in viewers’ minds. He presented as if this was the official hands-on work of his revered G men. Gibney then goes into a retrospective likening the matter to Watergate, but far worse because with Trump, it had the added sex appeal of a foreign-enemy actor: “The Russians Are Coming!”. So unanimous and uncritical have the state sponsored corporate media become, they continued to hammer these themes home over the next several years.
It turned out that the Federal government never even made that connection Gibney portrays it as making, despite the Department of Justice’s (including the FBI) all hands on deck attempt to smear Trump. Instead, it was the cybersecurity firm hired by the Democrat National Committee (DNC) itself, Crowdstrike. Despite several years of effort, the DNC prevented the FBI from examining the DNC servers – the only way to potentially determine the source of a hack. When Crowdstrike’s CEO Shawn Henry was finally put under oath in a non-public Congressional Oversight Committee meeting, he had to admit that they had no evidence of a Russian connection to the hack, let alone a channel leading to the Trump campaign. Despite this, Committee Chairman, representative Adam Schiff of California, kept this admission secret during his serial MSNBC and CNN appearances to infer there was in fact secret evidence before the committee linking Russia to the hack and Russia to Trump. Let that sink in for a moment. Schiff, the ranking Committee member misinformed the public continually for several years while keeping the contrary evidence, Crowdstrike CEO’s testimony, under Congressional seal.
By the time other congress members managed to unseal the Crowdstrike testimony – 2 years after Gibney’s documentary – the damage had been done. And of course, the corporate media never bothered to correct the record. Nor did Muller. Nor did Comey. Nor did the Department of Justice. Nor did the FBI. And of course, nor did Gibney; he just sat like the grinning cat who ate the canary, while he continued collecting royalty checks.
Gibney assisted deep state spooks like James Clapper, James Comey, Bob Muller, and the state-controlled corporate media to smear Trump solely on the basis of Crowdstrike’s (DNC’s) Shawn Henry’s slippery, evasive innuendo. Gibney did this by not making it clear that Comey’s FBI and Muller never inspected the DNC servers; making it appear that Comey and Muller were Johnnies on the spot saving the republic with their own elbow grease. And of course Gibney abetted the obstruction of justice by burying the incestuous relationships that enabled the fraudulent narrative to hold water. In particular, Shawn Henry’s pre-Crowdstrike gig was this: Executive Assistant to the Director of the FBI (Robert Muller). Henry was hired by DNC lawyers Perkins Coie, the same firm that hired the author of the phony ‘British Intelligence’ dossier, Chistopher Steele; which served as justification to wiretap the Trump campaign and smear him with invented lies pre and post-election. (See REPORT ON MATTERS RELATED TO INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES AND INVESTIGATIONS ARISING OUT OF THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS)
It doesn’t get any more incestuous than this. Yet, Gibney actively suppresses the real sources and their relationships for his unadulterated smear piece. He covers for the inbreeders with this type of icon worshipping: “Bob Muller was the symbol of a non-partisan individual who keeps his head down, follows the facts wherever they lead and doesn’t care about making a name for himself.”
If you doubt any of the counter evidence presented, do your mind a favor and take a few minutes to study up on the matter here, NO PROOF OF RUSSIAN HACK, and here, Durham Report.
Even though the revered Muller struck out as far as making any significant connection between the Trump campaign and Russia, let alone Russian hacking, Gibney’s blatant attempt to pressure Muller seems to have had the intended result. Muller did what Muller always does. In the face of no evidence and no indictment, he still managed to smear his target (Trump) with a plethora of subjunctive hearsay (would, could, might have, probably, etc.); a dis-barrable offense were he not the darling of the deep state and its lapdog corporate media. Once again the Scientology canary-in-the-coalmine connection arises. Muller did the very same thing to the Scientologists in the late eighties and in the 2000’s: pursued them noisily and at great taxpayer expense, only to wind up smearing them with no indictment to show for it. Award winning journalist Peter Lance wrote a series of books exposing the negligent and corrupt nature of the Department of Justice in its mishandling of the war on terror from the early nineties leading all the way up to 9/11. Lance pulls the Wizard-of-Oz curtain on Muller demonstrating the 2010s corporate media worship of him was as phony as a three-dollar bill. (see Peter Lance)
Just as he did in his hatchet job on Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning, Gibney could not resist accusing Trump of sex crimes by highlighting the never confirmed, since thoroughly debunked, DNC-purchased accusations:
“Unusual sexual activities with prostitutes in Russia…filmed by Russian intelligence for possible use as blackmail.”
Once again (see Whistleblower Character Assassin) Gibney betrays his sociopathic characteristic of “projection”; accusing others of his own intentions. His alter-ego Weiner says “Trump is the kind of guy who likes to make his own reality”, while Gibney weaves a literally created deep state narrative about Trump.
Ironically, the one minor critique mentioned by a talking head about Comey is an indictment against Gibney’s documentary itself: “There is something really horrible about having a senior law enforcement official evaluating the conduct of somebody in public whom he is not going to charge; and I have a sort of civil liberties anxiety about that.” (in reference to Comey’s 2016 press conference about not filing charges against Hillary Clinton)
News alert! That is the entire basis and subject of Gibney’s documentary against Trump. Simple and plain. But it is worse. In Clinton’s case there was a boatload of evidence warranting prosecution. Comey’s justification for not indicting was that a jury might acquit her. As covered, in Trump’s case there was zero evidence.
Ultimately, the entire foundation of the Russia Hoax and Gibney’s film was found to be without merit. In November 2019, after Muller struck out, the Department of Justice appointed a new Special Prosecutor, Robert Durham, to investigate what all the ‘Russians are Coming’ alarms were about. Durham found that not only was collusion never proven, there was not even a legal basis for beginning the Russia Hoax investigation in the first instance:
“Indeed, based on the evidence gathered in the multiple exhaustive and costly federal investigations of these matters, including the instant investigation, neither U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.”
Even a short passage in the film that shows Congressman Devin Nunes rightfully challenging Comey’s hole-filled narrative, is met with a former Obama apparatchik condemning any consideration of absence of guilt (in a case investigated for many years rending zero evidence of guilt):
“If you think about the antics of Devin Nunes there is some deep, deep worries that there are people in Congress who don’t care about the law, who don’t care about the Constitution.”
In Gibney’s Orwellian deep state, a defense is categorized as a thought crime.
Over dramatic music and a slew of Nixon and Reagan shots subliminally blaming their alleged crimes on Trump, Gibney winds up the film with voice overs warning of the dissolution of the Republic if Trump is not taken out. In this macabre denouement Gibney’s alter-ego reveals his motivation and purposes. Weiner closes with “If we are going to make it (as a Republic)…we have to get through this in a way that our institutions and our rule of law are strengthened.”
And so, the Empire’s storyteller continues the attack on the will of the electorate and the Constitution with the authority of the politburo and its partisan dispensation of injustice on anyone who dares not to think in lockstep with it.
Wag the Dog definition: Wag the dog is, as a political term, the act of creating a diversion from a damaging issue usually through military force. It stems from the generic use of the term to mean a small and seemingly unimportant entity (the tail) controls a bigger, more important one (the dog). – Wikipedia
You all may recall how Joe Biden and the Neo Liberal Order machine for two years restricted Ukraine from firing into Russia the country; for fear that it would likely result in the beginning of world war III and global nuclear warfare.
With all the White House end zone dancing over the lawfare ‘victory’ against Trump this week, you may have missed this. The very day of the verdict, the White House gave Ukraine the green light to fire away within the country of Russia, with its tens of billions of dollars of gifted United States of America bombs.
This is a double-twisted wagging of the dog. The White House uses the distraction of the Trump verdict to get World War III started, the escalation of which will conveniently distract from the corruption of the Trump trial and the rest of New Liberal Order lawfare coming to light.
