I’ve often noted that, while Democrats spend so much of their time warning and lecturing about supposed “threats to democracy,” it’s the Democrats themselves who consistently threaten our form of government by attempting to steal our freedoms.  If Democrats didn’t stand for hypocrisy, they would stand for nothing at all.

Their playbook is both predictable and underhanded.  “Accuse your opponents of that which you, yourself are doing.”  This is a time honored principle which, over the years, has been falsely attributed to Karl Marx, Joseph Goebbels, and Saul Alinsky.  However, there’s no evidence that any of those three ever said that.

Obama’s campaign manager, David Axelrod, is a practitioner of the principle however, which he made clear in a 2010 NPR interview, in which he recounted a Chicago political tactic.  “Throw a brick through your own window, then call a press conference and claim you were attacked.”  The Obama/Axelrod practice of  “politics the Chicago way” explains much of what follows.

The closest I could come to identifying the source of the quotation was from the Case Histories of Sigmund Freud, who described what he called psychological projection as a defense mechanism, in which one ascribes his own unpleasant (or unlawful) behavior to others.  It’s really no wonder this tactic derives from a psychiatrist, as most Democrats are certifiably insane.

For Democrats, the projection of their own misdeeds onto their political opponents isn’t merely a defense mechanism, it’s a commandment that serves multiple purposes.  It throws the opposition off balance, forcing them to deny the charge.  It gives a compliant media the convenient “lie of the day” to spread far and wide, thus sparing them the drudgery of actual journalism.  And it’s an effective “slight of hand” exercise that distracts the public from their own conduct.

All the above is a preface to the recent declassification of intelligence community documents, which definitively establish what I have been writing for eight years now –Barrack Obama and members of his Administration, in concert with the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign, engaged in what amounted to a coup de etat to deny Donald Trump election, and then to drive him from office.

As I often have noted, the fish stinks from the head, and Il Duce Obama was the stinking fish behind the myriad crimes that he, James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper, and many others perpetrated against the American public.  The declassified documents prove that Obama conspired with Hillary campaign officials to concoct the story that intelligence agencies had evidence that Russia was interfering in our election in order to elect Trump.

The conspiracy began long before the 2016 election.  Many of the details are recounted in a great piece by Victor David Hanson in The Federalist.  On July 28, 2016, then-CIA Director John Brennan briefed Obama on a plan from Clinton foreign policy advisor Jake Sullivan (later Biden’s National Security Advisor), “to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security service.”  James Comey, Joe Biden, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper attended the briefing.

After the briefing, the CIA forwarded the information to Comey and FBI Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence Peter Strzok, with the subject line: “Crossfire Hurricane.”  Wile the declassified email from CIA to FBI is cloaked in “cover your ass” language, it is that “smoking gun” that Democrats always say they’re looking for.

“Per FBI verbal request, CIA provides the below examples of information the CROSSFIRE HURRICANE fusion cell has gleaned to date.”  “An exchange (REDACTED) discussing US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s approval of a plan concerning US presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering US elections as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.”

Translation – “This is a political hit job, made up by Hillary.  You asked for it, so here it is.”  It was text book projection.  Trump never had any connection to Putin or Russians in general.  Meanwhile, it was Hillary who approved selling uranium to Russia, while Russians were sending millions to the Clinton Foundation.

What’s more, it’s abundantly clear that the years of continual witch hunting that crippled Trump’s first term were not the product of mistake, government incompetence, or good intentions.  It was a purposeful and knowing smear, calculated to frustrate, undermine and destroy the duly elected President of the United States.

The documents show that Obama and company were well aware that “Russia collusion” was a hoax created to shelter Hillary, while smearing her opponent.  The conspirators ran with, and repeatedly leaked to The Washington Post, the claim that evidence existed suggesting that Putin was interfering to help Trump.

However, the released documents unequivocally prove that conspirators knew that exactly the opposite was true.  Intelligence community assessments before and after the election stated that there was no evidence that the Russians had either the ability to interfere on behalf of Trump, and that there was zero evidence of any effect on the election.

Unsatisfied with the truth, which directly contradicted his  Russian Collusion bullshit story, Il Duce Obama ordered a new intelligence assessment to obtain a new opinion.  Only there was no real evidence, so against the objections of career CIA officials, Brennan ordered the inclusion of the Steele Dossier allegations, which he and the others knew to be unverifiable political trash.  Steele himself later confirmed this.

Il Duce Obama then cancelled the January 9, 2017 intelligence briefing that Trump was supposed to get, which would have contained the CIA’s conclusion that the Russians had no effect on the election, while he and the others continued to spread the false narrative.  The clear purpose of these acts was to sabotage in-coming President Trump by any means necessary.

For example, Victor David Hanson describes documents revealing that the CIA uncovered evidence that, before the election, the Russians were aware of the Obama/Clinton plan to smear Trump with the Russia hoax.  CIA Director Brennan asked the FBI to open a counter-intelligence investigation to determine how Moscow had come upon that information. (Presumably it was because they hacked Hillary’s unsecured server, and were reading all the emails she exchanged with Campaign Chairman John Podesta).

Instead of investigating Hillary’s leaky communications, however, the FBI used the the request, and the spurious Steele dossier, to obtain wiretaps to spy on the Trump campaign.  Along the way, the Obama conspirators bankrupted and ruined countless people, including General Flynn, George Papodopolous, Peter Navarro, Steve Bannon, and Jeff Sessions.  As real journalist Matt Taibbi has written, “This obnoxious story ruined lives, divided families, and paralyzed the country.  And it was all, demonstrably now, based on a lie.”

More importantly, these were crimes against our American form of government and against the American people.  When Il Duce Obama proclaimed on October 30, 2008, “We are days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America,” we had no idea that he intended to transform it into a Latin American Banana Republic, where honest elections are replaced by coups perpetrated by the ruling junta.

Maybe we expected too much from Il Duce.  Then again, what can you expect from a pig but a grunt?  If there’s any truth to the tired maxim, “No one is above the law,” then some people need to go to prison for these crimes.  I’m not holding my breath.
