As the Communists Democrats ramp up their rhetoric to gaslight America about the problems that PDJT and his MAGA followers are creating in the country, it is important to remember the truth of how we arrived here. In so doing one will be reminded of just how duplicitous Washington is.
Sundance over at CTH has published a post summarizing many facets that we all should be watching carefully. Remember the truth has no agenda.
Part 16 was just one example of how the Deep State works. When blackmail is not possible, then paint the individual involved as grossly incompetent, as someone whose actions are putting lives of Americans in danger or someone who is grossly corrupt. Then use public opinion fanned by media co-conspirators to neutralize the threat to the Deep State’s continued control over the American government.
Let’s take another look at Ciaramella…This will take us down a convoluted path of evil. Let’s be reminded that in 2019, the Mueller investigation, also know as Russiagate, was over and the Deep State had failed to remove PDJT from office. They needed another way to neuter PDJT.
From Sundance:
In 2019 National Security Council (NSC) member Alexander Vindman, also responsible for Ukraine, Russia Eurasia affairs, told CIA Analyst Eric Ciaramella a fictional narrative about President Trump pressuring Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to provide dirt on Joe Biden in advance of the 2020 election.
Eric Ciaramella then became an “anonymous whistleblower” within the CIA to reveal the story and set up the predicate for the first Trump impeachment effort in late 2019. You might remember the name, because during the impeachment effort anyone who mentioned Eric Ciaramella on social media had their information deleted, and they were blocked from their accounts.
Facebook, Google, META, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter all deleted any mention of Eric Ciaramella as the anonymous whistleblower, and banned any account that posted the name. However, something else was always sketchy about this.
Let’s be reminded that “anonymous” whistleblower reports were not allowed at that time. According to reports, Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson arbitrarily “changed the CIA whistleblower rules” to permit an “anonymous” allegation. This protected Eric Ciaramella, who was one of the main members of the team that produced the fraudulent ICA report about Russian efforts during the 2016 election.
Did Atkinson arbitrarily change the rules?
This is the narrative that has percolated throughout Washington pushed by a lapdog press. Was Atkinson some rogue Inspector General who decided to go off the reservation and operate on his own?
From Sundance:
Inspectors General do not operate in a vacuum. They are authorized to conduct investigative oversight, as an outcome of permissions from the cabinet agency heads themselves. The ICIG office, formerly headed by Michael Atkinson, falls under the authority of the Director of National Intelligence.
As the Inspector General of the Dept of Justice does not operate without the expressed permission of the U.S. Attorney General, so too is it required for the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community to have permission to operate in CIA functions with the expressed permission of the CIA Director.
There is no way that Atkinson could make such a substantive change in CIA rules without the Director and CIA General Counsel being involved.
Someone in DNI or CIA leadership had to sign off on allowing ICIG Atkinson to change the rules and permit Ciaramella’s complaint, which BTW was secondhand info, being turned into an “anonymous complaint.”
For those who might think that such reasoning has stretched the bounds of credulity, think back to the request by Inspector General Mike Horowitz to have oversight of the National Security Division (NSD) of the DOJ during the Obama administration. Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates responded with a lengthy 58-page legal explanation saying, essentially, ‘nope – not allowed.’ (PDF HERE) All of the DOJ is subject to oversight, except the NSD.
Today we know why that was done. The DOJ-NSD was running political surveillance operations using FISA and FARA as weaponized targeting mechanisms to keep track of their political opposition, i.e. Lawfare. The fraudulent FISA application against Carter Page is just one of many examples.
From Sundance:
♦ The two key points here are: #1) ICIG Michael Atkinson does not make unilateral decisions to change the internal rules within the CIA, without the expressed permission of the CIA Director, CIA Deputy Director and CIA General Counsel. #2) The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) would also know of the changed rules and arrangement therein.
If we accept the premise that Atkinson did not go off the reservation on his own, then the question becomes who authorized the change in the rules and also, was Atkinson ordered to make that change? If so, by whom? Just where were the instructions coming from to pursue these courses of actions?
From Sundance:
♦ Now, things are going to start getting a little dark here, because the implications are serious, and the aspect of ICIG Atkinson’s testimony to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) being sealed is a little more than alarming when you consider what they were trying to do – impeach a sitting USA President on a fabricated issue.
What is in the sealed testimony that Adam Schiff classified? Why has the public been denied the opportunity to evaluate Atkinson’s testimony? Has the US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida requested access to such material? Apparently a wide ranging investigation has been underway there for some time with dozens of subpoenas being prepared.
Sundance has a way of understating things that allows one to get to the end of the presentation before the implications sink in. This was clearly an attempted coup. They did not use rocket launchers and sub-machine guns. The assault came from fabricated stories of corrupt activities by PDJT.
The absolutely corrupt nature of many in DC is being exposed slowly. It is time for more corrupt actors to be charged. And those charges should carry heavy weight.
