CIA Sad Logo by Crackberry.com

All the latest buzz from government and MSM has Russia interfering with the presidential election helping Trump get elected.

It's all attributed to a secret CIA report then leaked to the media. Of course the complicit MSM accepts it as gospel. Same for liberals and some progressives who should know better. The only problem is there is no evidence presented to substantiate the claim Russia interfered with the election.

So now it's trust the CIA, the ultimate oxymoron. The CIA lies as an integral part of its makeup. It has been responsible for clandestinely interfering with foreign countries elections since its inception in 1947 replacing the war time OSS, Office of Secret Services. It has initiated coups of legitimately elected governments, assassinated their leaders, initiated false flag operations, used agent provocateurs to infiltrate and co-opt legitimate protests, engaged in torture, rendition, sent suspects to secret black sites to be tortured and just about any other mechanism imaginable to bring down a foreign government that refuses to toe the line and fall under the hegemony of the US.

And now Democrats, Hillary supporters and all those experiencing apoplexy by the coming of the "Donald" are ready to overthrow the recent election results, calling the outcome illegal over completely unsubstantiated charges of Russian intervention.

It's as if these people have lost their minds. It's not that US elections are fair to begin with. They're not. The entire electoral process has been corrupted by an avalanche of corporate, billionaire and foreign dark money; the primary factors on who is nominated and eventually elected. Trump was seen as somewhat of an outlier in the process, with his billions of personal financing, but he too was a recipient of millions from the likes of billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and other large donors so he was part of the corrupt political process as well.

Yet where does one begin and end to overhaul the electoral process? Staging a CIA inspired coup right here in the US and somehow believing justice will be served? And the dreadful Trump will be exorcised from the scene? C'mon!

In the unlikelihood such a coup does happen this could bring the most violent, right wing counter reaction this country has ever seen. With more guns than people in this country, anti- government militia's sprinkled throughout the country, millions of ex-military who are experts in the use of modern military hardware, plus right wing conspiracy nuts and other fellow travelers, the disposal of Trump through a CIA inspired coup, it's highly unlikely his supporters will take this sitting down.

Many desperate people, out of work with few prospects, many of them formally holding middle class jobs that were outsourced to some 3rd world country voted for Trump hoping he could make them economically self-sufficient again.

Almost sixty two million people voted for Trump. That's a helluva lot of people. Now to change the result and invalidate who actually won would be unprecedented. And in this whole process should Hillary Clinton become president that result will not be accepted by Trump's sixty million voters.

Such an outcome could be the final nail in the coffin for the Democrats who long ago lost touch with the working class people of this country. A betrayal not lost on the 62 million that rejected Hillary Clinton and voted for Trump.
