It's All a Russia/Al-Qaeda/WikiLeaks/"Rogue" FBI Plot

I would not say the FBI revolt took place. Comey was ordered to do what he did before and he was ordered to do what he did after. The orders were just reversed and it is as a marionette with a ventriloquist. No one steps out of bounds.

But he also said, less than 24 hours before Election Day: We think Trump will win and they are making everyone think that this is democracy in action. For emphasis, the source referred to the quite serious USC Dornsife/LA Times poll, which had Trump ahead by 5 points on the popular vote.

Here is a defense of the poll by one of his authors.

The Russians are hacking

As the FBI turnaround managed at best to enrage both campaigns, nothing was left to chance by the Deep State. What can be arguably construed as two major US terror proxies -- al-Qaeda (which one? Historic al-Qaeda in Afghanistan? AQAP? AQIM? Moderate al-Nusra in Syria?) as well as ISIS/ISIL/Daesh -- in conjunction with dodgy jihadist tracker SITE, went on full-time PsyWar mode with the intent of creating false flag pretexts.

US intel duly warned of possible al-Qaeda attacks on the eve of Election Day. Right on cue, Rita Katz, the head and 2001 co-founder of SITE, said these jihadi incitements were an attempt to disrupt the election process and gain media attention."

There's no evidence these threats are real. SITE after all never shies away from practicing disinformation. Katz in the past has briefed the White House, as well as Justice, Treasury and Homeland Security on terrorist financing and recruitment networks. A senior adviser to SITE is Bruce Hoffman, a former holder of the RAND Corporate Chair in Counterterrorism and Counterinsurgency.

Couple the al-Qaeda threat with turbo-charged demonization of Russia -- and we have the perfect excuse scenario in case anything happens not according to script (and the script rules Hillary Clinton as POTUS).

Team Obama duly spun that Russia not only was bent on mightily acting/hacking on Election Day, but would propel the disruption all across the West well into 2018. And Tom Graham, managing director of Kissinger Associates in New York and former adviser to George Dubya Bush on Russia, doubled down, insisting that more emails may be dumped (by insidious WikiLeaks) after Election Day.

This should all lead to a Hollywood ending though. May the free world be reassured; the noxious axis of Putin-Assange-al-Zawahiri-rogue FBI agents will be dismantled -- to the glory of the Queen of the Perma-Smirk soon to be crowned Warmonger-in-Chief.
