The Dangerous Role the Intel Community is Playing in Trump's Demise
By Rob Kall
It's likely that by 2018 Donald Trump will have been deposed and replaced by President Pence. But I fear that the process which leads to Trump's removal from the White House will be a demonstration of deeper, darker malevolence which American and the world must face-- a dangerously interfering, manipulating intelligence community that is willfully influencing elections and balances of power.

It is very likely that by 2018 Donald Trump will have been deposed and replaced by President Pence.
Trump is a florid, out of control malignant narcissist who, every day, proves his profound pathologically exacerbated incompetence.
But I fear that the process which leads to his removal from the White House will be a demonstration of deeper, darker malevolence which American and the world must face-- a dangerously interfering, manipulating intelligence community that is willfully influencing elections and balances of power.
We've always known that the CIA has been involved in taking down. What we are experiencing now is an intelligence community autoimmune response. Like a cancer that destroys the body it exists within, it is becoming clear the intelligence community is attacking and sabotaging the democratic institutions and values of the United States just as it has done to Iran, Nicaragua.... here's an article that lists the ugly history of the CIA alone. A Timeline of CIA Atrocities
Dennis Kucinich told Fox News that the most significant factor in General Flynn's resignation is the fact that the intelligence agencies "intercepted a phone call by Flynn with the intent of upending any positive relationship between the US and Russia-- which benefits the military industrial intel access can cash in."
And he says that the
"american people have to know that there's a game going on inside the intelligence community where there are those in the intelligence community who want separate the US from Russian in a way that would reignite the cold war. What's going on in the intelligence community with with this new president is unprecedented. They're making every effort to offend him. It's like the electronic version Mad Magazine-- Spy vs Spy. There's something wrong going on in the intelligence community. ... Trump has to get hold of his own intelligence apparatus If he doesn't... he'll never know the truth."
Kucinich points out how the intel and pengagon communities sabotaged a deal between Russia and the US for cease-fire in Syria.
Kucinich admonishes,
'It's going to be very important that the president tells the truth. The question is, is the president getting the right information. Are there games being played inside the intelligence community to force American policy in ways different than what the White House wants. ... There's definitely something going on in the intelligence community to undermine this administration. ...This is a much more serious issue. The White House, whether you are for Trump or against Trump, is under attack by elements in the intelligence community..."
Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, Robbie Mook is asking why the intelligence agencies, including James Comey, who knew about Flynn before the general election vote, only brought up a question about Hillary and not the much more significant one about Trump and Flynn.
It's good that the psychopath incompetent Trump will be removed from office. But The role the USA intelligence community has played in putting him into office and getting him out should be raising alarm bells for every patriotic American.
The musician, Moby, reports, on his Facebook page,
"after spending the weekend talking to friends who work in dc i can safely(well, 'accurately'...) post the following things:
1-the russian dossier on trump is real. 100% real. he's being blackmailed by the russian government, not just for being peed on by russian hookers, but for much more nefarious things.
2-the trump administration is in collusion with the russian government, and has been since day one.
3-the trump administration needs a war, most likely with iran. at present they are putting u.s warships off the coast
of iran in the hope that iran will attack one of the ships and give the u.s a pretense for invasion.
4-there are right wing plans to get rid of trump. he's a drain on their fundraising and their approval ratings, and the gop and koch brothers and other u.s right wing groups are planning to get rid of trump.
5-intelligence agencies around the world, and here in the u.s, are horrified by the incompetence of the trump administration, and are working to present information that will lead to high level firings and, ultimately, impeachment.
i'm writing these things so that when/if these things happen there will be a public record beforehand.
these are truly baffling and horrifying times, as we have an incompetent president who is essentially owned by a foreign power.
The most significant, from the point of view of t his article is number five:
"5-intelligence agencies around the world, and here in the u.s, are horrified by the incompetence of the trump administration, and are working to present information that will lead to high level firings and, ultimately, impeachment."
One could argue that they are doing their job. But considering what they've done in the past year, it looks like they are in the business of king-making. Which should not be a part of their job.
The Saker offers this analysis of Flynn's fall, in his article, The Neocons and the "deep state" have neutered the Trump Presidency, it's over folks!
"Flynn was hardly a saint or a perfect wise man who would single handedly saved the world. That he was not. However, what Flynn was is the cornerstone of Trump's national security policy. For one thing, Flynn dared the unthinkable: he dared to declare that the bloated US intelligence community had to be reformed. Flynn also tried to subordinate the CIA and the Joint Chiefs to the President via the National Security Council. Put differently, Flynn tried to wrestle the ultimate power and authority from the CIA and the Pentagon and subordinate them back to the White House."
The Saker goes on to say,
"Flynn was not my hero. But he was, by all accounts, Trump's hero. And Trump betrayed him.The consequences of this will be immense. For one thing, Trump is now clearly broken. It took the 'deep state' only weeks to castrate Trump and to make him bow to the powers that be. Those who would have stood behind Trump will now feel that he will not stand behind them and they will all move back away from him. The Neocons will feel elated by the elimination of their worst enemy and emboldened by this victory they will push on, doubling-down over and over and over again.
It's over, folks, the deep state has won."
Add up these different sources and we have a rogue intelligence community serving the neocons and neoliberals--- imperialists, warmongers and corporatists. They have Trump by the balls, or what's left of them. It's a pretty desperate situation and I don't have an answer as to who can clean up this mess.
