Another take on the new developments in the Hillary Clinton email scandal. From Charles Hugh Smith at oftwominds.com:
The Deep State’s most prescient elements must derail Hillary’s campaign to clear a path to Trump’s executive team.
Back in August, I asked Could the Deep State Be Sabotaging Hillary? I think we now have a definitive answer: “These blast points on Hillary’s campaign… too accurate for the Mainstream Media. Only the forces of the Imperial Deep State are so precise.”
The Mainstream Media is presenting the FBI investigation as a “lose-lose” situation for embattled FBI Director Comey. If Comey remained quiet until after the election, he would be accused of colluding with the Clinton campaign and its allies in the Department of Justice (sic).
But in going public, he stands accused by Democrats of “intervening in an election,” i.e. raising doubts about Hillary’s judgement and veracity days before Americans go to the polls.
Another narrative has Comey’s hand forced by the threat of disgusted FBI agents leaking information that would show the FBI caved into political pressure from the Democratic Party and Clinton campaign to keep relevant material out of the public eye until after the election.
I submit another much more powerful dynamic is in play: the upper ranks of the Deep State now view Hillary as an unacceptable liability. The word came down to Comey to act whether he wanted to or not, i.e. take one for the good of the nation/Deep State/Imperial Project.
As a refresher: the Deep State is the unelected government (also called the invisible or shadow government) that is not as monolithic as generally assumed.
The neo-conservative globalists who want Hillary to continue pushing their agenda are the more visible camp, but another less visible but highly motivated camp realizes Hillary and her neo-con agenda would severely damage the nation’s security and its global influence. It is this camp that is arranging for Hillary to lose.
The consensus view seems to be that the Establishment and the Deep State see Trump as a loose cannon who might upset the neo-con apple cart by refusing to toe the neo-con line.
This view overlooks the reality that significant segments of the Deep State view the neo-con strategy as an irredeemable failure. To these elements of the Deep State, Hillary is a threat precisely because she embraces the failed neo-con strategy and those who cling to it. From this point of view, Hillary as president would be an unmitigated disaster for the Deep State and the nation/Imperial Project it governs.
Whatever else emerges from the emails being leaked or officially released, one conclusion is inescapable: Hillary’s judgement is hopelessly flawed. Combine her lack of judgement with her 24 years of accumulated baggage and her potential to push the neo-con agenda to the point of global disaster, and you get a potent need for the Deep State’s most prescient elements to derail her campaign and clear a path to Trump’s executive team.
Once this path is clear, the management of Trump’s executive team can begin in earnest, a management process aimed at disengaging the nation and its global Empire from neo-con overreach.
If you think this scenario is “impossible,” let’s see how the election plays out before deciding what’s “impossible” and what’s inevitable.
Two problems with this analogy. Even the very first time I saw the movie, I noted that those “so precise” Imperials as depicted in action couldn’t hit the broad side of the Millennium Falcon. More to the point, virtually everyone who was ever going to be convinced by the email scandal that President Hillary might not be such a swell idea got convinced a long time ago. This election is going to boil down to whether the ‘Intercourse You’ factor will generate enough votes to overcome the fraud that innumerable minions of the Deep State are working overtime to perpetrate, even though some of the masters may very well have serious misgivings about Clintons Part Deux.
Your points are well taken. I post other bloggers articles about the Deep State, always with a bit of skepticism, wondering how these writers know about it and its plans. I have no special knowledge other than what I glean from publicly available news sources. Both Charles Hugh Smith and Brandon Smith posit Deep State support for Donald Trump, but for different reasons. Even if Trump wins, which I think he will, it doesn’t mean either one of them is right about Deep State motives. They both make plausible, well-supported arguments, but I find the assertion that elements of the Deep State are against Trump’s election plausible as well. Often straight line logic takes one only so far, and the only logical course is to acknowledge uncertainty, consider multiple hypotheses, and see where the evidence leads.
Exactly. For instance, although Brandon Smith gets very many things right, I’m just not buying that Dr. Evil S. Genius with his white cat and monolithic Banksters Cabal has everything under complete control. First and foremost, it’s cabals, plural, and while one can be confident that the principals of those cabals are indeed motivated by the lust to control everything, any comprehensive picture – even for the cabalists themselves – of priorities and strategies, of the dynamic of cooperation / competition, must be considered murky at best. Especially if one holds to the maxim – which I do, firmly – that with few if any exceptions, the real Powers That Be are NOT well-known figures.
