US CENTCOM Commander: There Isn't Proof of the Democrat-Media Conspiracy's Info Op Last Month About Russians Paying Bounties to the Taliban to Kill Americans;
Claim Comes from the CIA, Who Are "Very Emotional" About the Argument

I'm not kidding. I know people sometimes say these things off-handedly, but the CIA has been turned inside-out into an agency whose goal is not to defend America but to subvert and defeat it.

It must be disbanded.

Enough of these government-paid insurrectionists.

The commander of U.S. Central Command, Gen. Frank McKenzie, said Monday that after two months of looking into a widely reported claim that Russia paid bounties to the Taliban for the killing of U.S. troops still has not been verified...

There's a bit more in the story including the fact that it's apparently the CIA that is largely convinced this happened or is happening. Gen. McKenzie, without naming anyone in particular, said the people involved in the ongoing argument over this are "very emotional" but that he can't afford to be. That makes sense because obviously if this were confirmed then the U.S. would have no choice but to urge the president to act.

But "All 17 Intelligence agencies" agree with the CIA's assessment, right?

Wrong:

The hesitation over this story isn't solely a matter of the military not being convinced of what the intel agencies are saying. Previous reporting from the Wall Street Journal stated that the NSA had "strongly dissented" from other intel agencies about the bounties claim. So even within the intel community there has been some doubt about this.

The fact that the CIA leaked this -- to Adam Schiff, no less! -- is proof that they must be disbanded.

In previous years, under previous presidents, the intelligence community was very careful about leaking claims like this.

Claims like this put the president in an impossible bind: either he can argue on behalf of Russia's innocence, or he can launch a nuclear attack on Russia.

There's really no middle path here. If Russia is killing US troops, we go to war.

So usually these things were handled secretly. Russia would be punished, but not in some high-profile way that would stir the public into demanding a nuclear retaliation on Russia.

But that's not how the Obama-ized CIA rolls, now. Now, each and every unverified suspicion they have, each bit of Hot Goss collected from Igor "Iggy" Danchenko's alcoholic friends at his local DC rum mill, is fit for immediate leaking to Adam Fucking Schiff and the whole of the GPSFusion-paid Black Ops Press.

Why, it's almost as if elements of the Deep State, with a leadership cadre infiltrated into the highest positions of the CIA, are attempting a "color revolution" coup d'etat against their own (supposed) country.

This rolling campaign of anti-police street violence is killing Biden’s bid for the presidency -- just look at private polling in crucial swing states such as Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, where law and order has become a decisive issue.

So why don't Democratic leaders do more to condemn the violence and call for calm?

To understand their inaction, you need to step back and see street violence as one element of a coordinated "playbook" to dislodge President Trump, regardless of the outcome of the election.

This is the thesis of political theorist Dr. Darren Beattie, a former Duke University professor and White House official.

The playbook is straight from the strategies the US government has deployed in so-called "Color Revolutions" in Eastern European countries, such as Ukraine or Belarus, to remove "authoritarian" leaders deemed hostile to American interests.

In a series of articles at Revolver.news, Beattie's thesis provides a compelling comparison between Deep State efforts to remove President Trump and techniques used by the State Department, covert agencies and allied NGOs to influence, or overturn, elections in foreign countries.

BLM-Antifa’s "mostly peaceful protests" are America's version of Ukraine's Orange Revolution, where civil unrest was fomented on the streets to oust a Kremlin-backed authoritarian.

In an interview, Beattie noted "strong parallels" between "color revolutions" overseas and the "sustained coordinated coup against Trump" -- from the Russia collusion hoax to his impeachment over Ukraine.

"The very same regime change professionals … assigned to overthrow 'authoritarians' in Eastern Europe are the ones running this operation against Trump. It is the same playbook run by the same people."

The Color Revolution playbook starts by creating the narrative of an authoritarian, illegitimate leader. Then you foment unrest on the streets, aimed at provoking an authoritarian crackdown that can be used to mobilize further unrest.

You undermine people's faith in the election process, setting up a contested outcome that turns into street fighting.

At the same time, you wage relentless "lawfare" to contest ballots. Ultimately the military may be called upon to dislodge the incumbent.

Sound familiar?

As the article notes, the Establishment "Transition Integrity Group," featuring Jon Podesta and Bill Kristol, actually wargamed out scenarios for contesting a real, inarguable Trump win, including the whole west coast seceding unless the coup they demanded was allowed to run to completion.
