A former C.I.A. officer with experience in Turkey wrote a provocative essay  about the “deep state” — a parallel “secret government” embedded in the military and intelligence services of the US, whose purpose is to provide a check on electoral democracy. Is that we are observing now in US geopolitical events?

Russia has been spying on the US and other countries since 1917, but that doesn’t mean the country’s leaders chose our president elect. According to John Bolton, who may be named deputy secretary of state, the claims by the US Central Intelligence Agency that Russia hacked the Democrats in order to get their preferred candidate into office, may be a false flag. Others agree. Some are still arguing over what Bolton really meant by ‘false flag.’ Bolton himself is now back paddling, saying he didn’t mean that the Obama administration was behind the Russian hacking false flag. Just who is hacking who?

That CIA operative who called out the Deep State was Philip Giraldi, the executive director of the Council for the National Interest, a foreign-policy advocacy group in Washington. He called the American deep state of today an “unelected, unappointed, and unaccountable presence within the system that actually manages what is taking place behind the scenes.”

President-elect Trump disputes the intelligence agencies’ conclusion that Russia intervened in the election to help his candidacy. “I think it’s ridiculous. I think it’s just another excuse. I don’t believe it,” he told Fox News’ Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday.”

Hillary Clinton also blamed the Russians just after her October presidential debate, “We have 17 intelligence agencies, civilian and military, who have all concluded that these espionage attacks, these cyberattacks, come from the highest levels of the Kremlin, and they are designed to influence our election.”

Bolton argues that the Russians are too sophisticated “to leave fingerprints.” If this is indeed a false flag – trying to lead the public to believe that Russia was to blame for hacking into the DNC and RNC’s computers – what would the current powers that be have to gain from orchestrating the mainstream press to churn out that message?

Carter Page, a former Trump advisor suggests that relations between the US and Russia need to advance beyond a Cold War rhetoric. “We should be grateful that we have emerged from a terrible relationship which harbored mutual distrust,” says Page.

As Stephen Lendmen writes,

“It shouldn’t surprise. Since the deplorable Clinton co-presidency, America has been on a slippery slope toward full-blown tyranny – notably post-the-9/11 mother of all false flags.

It was followed by an array of police state laws, new ones recently enacted, flagrant constitutional violations, media scoundrels silent on an unprecedented abuse of power.

McCarthyism is back on steroids. Truth-telling is now considered fake news and/or pro-Russian. We’re perilously close to criminalizing content or advocacy for anything opposing America’s deplorable agenda, its imperial wars, its high crimes against humanity at home and abroad.

Perhaps I and others like me are considered Kremlin agents for supporting Putin’s anti-war, anti-imperial, anti-uni-polarity agenda, a leader supporting rule of law principles and mutual cooperation among all nations.

It’s polar opposite how America operates, a rogue state like no others earlier, threatening humanity’s survival like never before, a terrifying reality too few people realize.

Now there’s a plot afoot to deny Trump his electoral triumph – the Clintons, their supporters and other dark forces behind it, their goal to turn America into an illegitimate putschist state like Nazi-run Ukraine, installed by Obama.

According to Politico, Hillary’s top political advisor, John Podesta, wants an intelligence briefing on phony charges of Russian election hacking given Electoral College members before they vote on December 19. In a Monday statement, he said:

“Electors have a solemn responsibility under the Constitution…(O)ur campaign decried the interference of Russia in our campaign and its evident goal of hurting our campaign to aid Donald Trump.”

Lendman continues,

“. . . Reliable independent sources debunked the fabricated allegation. Not a shred of evidence supports it. None exists. Even the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) refuses to endorse it “because of a lack of conclusive evidence.” So does the FBI for the same reason.

In November congressional testimony, DNI head James Clapper said US intelligence agencies lack evidence pointing to Russian US election hacking.

Can any thinking person believe Russia cost Hillary the election? It defies logic. It’s an absurdity on its face, a disgraceful Big Lie and an affront to the sensibility of everyone.”

Page adds that there is a great level of disinformation, and he addresses this in his speech.

Even the American Conservative gets it right when they state, “In an age of trillion-dollar deficits, crumbling communities, and endless wars and rumors of war, we can no longer allow American public life to be guided by fantasies.”

You be the judge, though. The accusations are certainly flying, but it might be surprising to see who is really trying to steal the presidency.
