Booman just posted a front pager called Is It a Coup If They’re Just Following the Law?
In it he quotes CNN…and a large number of other Deep State-owned, operated and controlled media sites that are saying essentially the same thing in slightly different terms…about the so-called “Russian Dossier.” You know,….the “dossier” (What a great, spy novel word that is, by the way!!!) that no one but various spooks seems to have seen?
Yeah.
That one.
Here’s what the quote says:
For the first time, US investigators say they have corroborated some of the communications detailed in a 35-page dossier compiled by a former British intelligence agent, multiple current and former US law enforcement and intelligence officials tell CNN. As CNN first reported, then-President-elect Donald Trump and President Barack Obama were briefed on the existence of the dossier prior to Trump’s inauguration.
None of the newly learned information relates to the salacious allegations in the dossier. Rather it relates to conversations between foreign nationals. The dossier details about a dozen conversations between senior Russian officials and other Russian individuals. Sources would not confirm which specific conversations were intercepted or the content of those discussions due to the classified nature of US intelligence collection programs.
But the intercepts do confirm that some of the conversations described in the dossier took place between the same individuals on the same days and from the same locations as detailed in the dossier, according to the officials. CNN has not confirmed whether any content relates to then-candidate Trump.
The corroboration, based on intercepted communications, has given US intelligence and law enforcement “greater confidence” in the credibility of some aspects of the dossier as they continue to actively investigate its contents, these sources say.
Reached for comment this afternoon, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said, “We continue to be disgusted by CNN’s fake news reporting.”
I also find this disgusting.
Why?
Read on.
Why?
Because there is no “there” there. So far there hasn’t been any hard news about it since it first came out all lollapaloozed by the Deep State Media Complex in early January, complete with salacious details about Trump paying Russian prostitutes to golden shower the bed in which Obama and his wife slept during their last stay in Russia. It’s all been the same “… US investigators …. multiple current and former US law enforcement and intelligence officials …” telling whomever is reporting this so-called news that “It’s the hottest thing ever!!!”
No evidence.
Just “reports” from unnamed spooks.
Here’s where the beef isn’t, where the rubber is in no way in contact with any existing road whatsoever. (Emphases mine):
…it relates to conversations between foreign nationals. The dossier details about a dozen conversations between senior Russian officials and other Russian individuals. Sources would not confirm which specific conversations were intercepted or the content of those discussions due to the classified nature of US intelligence collection programs.

SHEESE, Myrtle!!! let’s impeach the sonofabitch!!!
That’s enuf fer me, right there!!!
LOL!!!
Let me refresh your memories, my leftiness brethren and sistren.
This is exactly how the U.S. got dragged into the Iraq swamp during the Bush II years.
Remember him?
Like dat. The same look on millions of stupid, gullible American faces.
Different spooks…probably… and different disinfo misinfo info,…whatever…same tactic.
I call bullshit, at least until they come public with hard facts. And even then I will be cautious. These forces have lied enough during my politically conscious lifetime to warrant at least a sort of cautious skepticism if not downright disbelief regarding anything that they say, especially when it is run out with absolutely no proof other than their spooky-spook-spook “word” that it’s true.
Booman ends up asking:
It’s interesting that the intelligence agencies continue to investigate Donald Trump’s connections to the Russians even after he’s president and even after he’s put in a new CIA director and a new Secretary of Defense. You’d think that he could put a stop to it, but somehow it doesn’t appear that he can. Trump’s National Security Adviser, Michael Flynn, is getting savaged, too.
So, what’s the shelf-life on this presidency again?
It’s “interesting” only if you understand that the working members of this deep, immovable state will not obey a rogue boss because they really believe that they are going to be able to bring him down.
And they may be right, in a tactical sense.
However, what they are trying to do strategically…in street terms…is to undermine the new capo of all capos until they can one way or another take him out, because he belongs to a new, rival gang that threatens the old gang’s VERY profitable turf.
It’s just a turf war.
If you are allied with the old gang…if you think that the direction of the U.S. culture, economy and society has been ever-upward since it began to take control during the Dulles years/assassination years…then of course you are going to root the fakers on.
If not?
Not.
Simple as that.
Your choice.
Sure, I can see Trump making deals with the new gangs, just as did some of the new Mafia make deals with the Irish, the Albanians, the Russians, the drug cartels, etc. in order to gain turf. Hell, I can even see him paying somebody to piss on a bed. He’s a sicko, no doubt. But I have no truck with the old Mafia, either. They are all sick, sociopathic liars and murderers.
So I ask y’all…is it a coup if it’s made by posting false news?
And if it is?
Are you sure you want to support it?
I’m not.

P.S. Brendan asks in acomment below:
What if you DON’T agree that the direction of “U.S. culture, economy and society has been ever-upward “, but you also believe that the direction of US culture under Trump will be an even steeper slope downward?
Then it is time to fight against both downward-tending world views.
Unless of course you live in a permanently two-dimensional world, at which point nothing much is going to change except the speed of the decay.
Your choice.
Me?
I fight against the dying of that light, be it slow or fast.
You?
