Alastair Crooke Addresses the ATACMS Ploy

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 11/18/2024 1:19:01 PM

Today Alastair Crooke, speaking on Judge Nap’s show, addresses the cynical Deep State attempt to disrupt Trump’s transition to power. At first glance, of course, the US authorization to Ukraine to use ATACMS for deep strikes into Russia is primarily a morale booster--for the Dems and, supposedly, for the Ukrainians. But behind this morale raising measure there are other considerations. Within range of these missiles are the Donbas gas reserves, the third largest in all Europe, and there are additional gas reserves offshore from Crimea that can be attacked

Russia is in the process of shutting of the electrical power in Ukraine. That's what happens in war. The U.S. did it against Belgrade in the Clinton years.

Even worse, we have no way of knowing who actually decided on this escalation. Biden's brain is a bag of rotting tuna fish at this point and he clearly just rubber stamps whatever paper is handed to him.

2, sure we do. Some unaccountable staffer at the state department issued a memo. Tada! WW3 for Trump to deal with. Just more "resistance".

According to NBC, DOJ Lawfare operatives and FBI agents within the corrupt and weaponized silos, are calling their friends for legal assistance and protection against investigations of their past activity. It is easy to see how DOJ-NSD officials would be worried, particularly given the nature of how Deputy AG Lisa Monaco organized them over the past four years to continue Lawfare efforts against President Trump. Perhaps one name, Mary McCord, should be concerned a little more than most. Additionally, the FBI agents who participated in the witch hunts against President Trump and his allies are also concerned. Both groups now reaching out to lawyers proactively

The internet is abuzz today with discussion of the insufferable Mika Brezenski and Joe Scarborough traveling to Mar-a-Lago to meet with the person they called “Hitler” repeatedly. As they tell the story, their intent was to “mend fences” and seemingly remain relevant. When facing undeniable irrelevance, egoists always move toward the spotlight; because if there is one consistent truth within all human psychology, it’s the constant need for narcissists to find new supply.

Leftists have a master plan to ensure that President-elect Donald Trump’s economy tanks: They are not going to buy anything. Leftists across the country are still reeling from Trump’s historic comeback victory, which saw him sweeping all seven swing states, garnering 312 electoral votes and also winning the popular vote after making historic gains in traditionally blue areas. There was a sizable shift in the electorate and a clear mandate for change, but some leftists ardently disagree and have a plan to tank what everyone anticipates to be a strong economy under Trump’s leadership.

Not taking the hint from Americans’ waning trust in their work, the corporate media have decided to further tank their credibility by launching an anti-Christian info op against Trump’s Secretary of Defense nominee, Pete Hegseth. The Associated Press (AP) kicked off the weekend-long vilification campaign Friday evening, publishing a hit piece centered on one of the Army veteran’s Christian tattoos. Authored by Tara Copp, Michelle Smith, and Jason Dearen, the article attempts to tie Hegseth to “white supremacist groups” by claiming his “Deus Vult” bicep tattoo — which is Latin for “God wills it” — is “associated” with such organizations.

It should not come as a surprise to see the same methods deployed against President Trump in 2024 that were used by the FBI in 2016.

In 2016 the FBI used their power to conduct security clearances as a tool to stall and block President Trump appointments.

The deck chairs on the Progressive ship of state are starting to float away. Is it on the tears of Democrat despair? The rising hysteria of the left by Trump's total sweep over their Progressive champion, both with the electoral and popular vote, is driving them nuts. The cacophony of anger and despair reflected in ignorant comments by TDS leftists on legacy media sites proves none of them love America. Without any discernable level of cognitive thinking, they cling to what the legacy press and leftist social media sites like barnacles on a ship bottom tell them.

MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell just didn’t know what to do with Republican Senator from Tennessee Bill Hagerty, after he outlined all the motives and justifications for President Trump to appoint Matt Gaetz for U.S. Attorney General. Senator Hagerty cites examples of the Main Justice targeting of President Trump from the 2016 campaign all the way through the IC manipulation of the Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020, to the continued use of Lawfare to target President Trump throughout 2024. Of course, that background makes the appointment of Matt Gaetz understandable. WATCH:

One source compared it to a hornet’s nest being kicked over and that “DEI pages are starting to disappear off the main websites.” “They’re being archived as we speak. They are full-bore focused on cleaning up anything DEI-related,” the source said. Another source said people are trying to find out if they are on the list to be cut. “They are in panic mode,” the source said.

It’s high time to shatter the myth of Nancy Pelosi as a master strategist. Nobody deserves more blame than the ridiculously self-titled “speaker emerita” for the Democrats’ $1 billion electoral collapse. Under her ruthless leadership, her party lost the White House, the House, the Senate and the popular vote. You can’t say that enough. Voters rejected the Dems coast to coast, even in Pelosi’s deepest-blue home city of San Francisco, which saw a 7-point swing to Donald Trump. She’s the only speaker in history to have lost control of the House twice. She’s finished.

The one person who knew that the Joe Biden presidency was something other than “Obama’s third term” was Barack Obama. If Obama had any illusions about his control over events, he was rudely disabused of them on July 21, 2024. This was the Sunday on which Biden dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris. The announcements caught Obama flatfooted. Biden had not consulted with his former boss either on his decision to drop out nor on his decision to endorse Harris. At 12:46 p.m. EDT, Biden posted on X his intention to withdraw.
