What We Learn From The Intelligence Committee Memorandum

BY Herschel Smith
6 years, 1 month ago

This will only be a brief analysis, but I wanted to lay the groundwork for what I believe we learn from the recent Nunes memorandum.

Largely nothing.  We knew most if not all of that already.  Those who have been following the machinations of the deep state have know all of this for a very long time now.  We know that certain high ranking officials inside the government – the government that is mostly not appointed, but rather, in for life, and a few who are appointed – have colluded and conspired to design a police state, couple federal, state and local law enforcement agencies into one by use of the JTTF and Fusion centers, weaken American foreign policy, empower the Muslim lobby, encroach upon and even destroy liberties in America, and started and prosecuted foreign wars in order to enrich themselves and their co-conspirators.

The wars in Northern Africa are an example of one such campaign, where nations were toppled in order to create “rat lines” of weapons, money, gems, oil and children, these “rat lines” only being the initial stages of more formal lines of logistics on a more industrial scale.  Haiti was another such example, and the full story of TCF and CGI corruption in Haiti has yet to be told.  Many of the people who have tried to tell the story have ended up dead.  At the head of this conspiratorial network of taitors sits not just men like Comey and McCabe, but men and women at the State Department, DoJ, inside the U.S. military and the Council on Foreign Relations.

Again, we’ve known this for a very long time.  For example, the YouTuber George (Webb) Sweigart called the involvement of the Awan brothers a full half year before anyone else did, and also provided excruciating and even painful detail on all of the military and political actions affecting the campaign to topple Northern Africa.  We also knew that John McCain was involved in the campaign in Northern Africa.  Thus, he said of the memorandum, “The latest attacks on the FBI and Department of Justice serve no American interests – no party’s, no president’s, only Putin’s.”  Quite obviously, this is a misdirect and he doesn’t really believe this all has anything at all to do with Russia.

We also learned more about the involvement of DoJ personnel with the Nunes committee.  Rod Rosenstein outed himself because he was apparently less disciplined than he needed to be.  According to Greg Jarrett, he threatened the committee.

Much more troubling, however, is the degree to which the balance of Washington is in the pocket of the deep state.  Is there any other reason for this?

Calling on Trump not to interfere in Mueller’s investigation, four Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee dismissed on Sunday the idea that the memo’s criticism of how the FBI handled certain surveillance applications undermines the special counsel’s work. Reps. Trey Gowdy (S.C.), Chris Stewart (Utah), Will Hurd (Tex.) and Brad Wenstrup (Ohio) represented the committee on the morning political talk shows.

Gowdy, who helped draft the memo, said Trump should not fire Rosenstein, and he rejected the idea that the document has a bearing on the investigation.

It appears that the deep state controls quite literally all of Washington, D.C., and all appurtenant departments, agencies, and personnel.  It runs deep, far and wide, and its powers are immense.  And that’s what we learn from the memorandum.  We get no farther down the road to knowing what has happened.  This is all the tip of the iceberg.  But what we do learn if that when a little light is shined, the gargoyles, demons, monsters and pit vipers come out fighting.  I think it’s a good thing for them to self-identify.

    I believe this was the memo’s primary intent. To name names. Which in turn forces them to defend themselves in the light, which is the last thing they want to do.

    I’m sure everyone here has seen Matt Bracken’s ever expanding graphic.

    We also know that McCain is the one who gave the GPS dossier on Trump to the FBI. I won’t even grace him with the RINO title. He’s a demon of the first order.

    Can a connection be made between the anwan brothers access to classified intel via the democrats and the Navy Seal that was killed in Yemen right after Trump was sworn in? Someone tipped off the bad guys. Maybe the FBI can take some time off from their soft coup of our President and look into that.

    The Secret Police will not tolerate anyone impugning their motives.

    The worst thing about Trump is how his candidacy and presidency is pulling off the veils from everything, and revealing how our nation has become a banana republic, bent to the will of everyone but the voters. Presidents, who have the power to nuke any place on the planet at will, do not seem have the power to curb the deep state.

    @Jorge,
    Worst for who? Hopefully you mean the Swamp People because if Hillary had been crowned none of what we’re seeing today would have ever been known about by the Dirt People.

    @moe mensale
    Worst for the tiny bits of optimism I had remaining. For me, 2016 was the year all the ‘mad’ conspiracy theories were proven true. Before, I had assumed they were absurd exaggerations. Ignorance is truly bliss. Knowing how horribly corrupt things are? Not bliss.

    The thing that I marvel at is the self identifying that continues day after day. I guess they simply don’t see it that way. They must think they are right and righteous and want everyone to know. Works for me.
