The Gettysburg Address; Abraham Lincoln.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.  We are met on a great battle field of that war.  We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live.  It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in the larger sense, we can not dedicate – we can not consecrate – we can not hallow – this ground.  The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.  The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. 

It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.  It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain – that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom – and that the government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not vanish from the earth.

Abraham Lincoln.
November 19, 1863

Horrifying

I’m listening to news coverage of Trump’s Helsinki surrender to his Russian handler.  Respected former government officials are using the word “horrifying” regarding the impact of Trump’s surrender to Russia on the intelligence community.

Intelligence assets for the United States are going to be reluctant to place themselves at risk giving information going to the President, which might then go to Putin.  America is at greater risk directly because of the damage done to our intelligence networks. 

Mueller knows more.  Why was the indictment of 12 Russians made on Friday – right before the Helsinki meeting?  Mueller knows more.  Donald Trump is a compromised asset of the KGB.

Horrifying.

Statement from John Brennan, former CIA Director:

“Donald Trump’s press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of “high crimes & misdemeanors.” It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were Trump’s comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you???”

SASC CHAIRMAN JOHN McCAIN ON TRUMP-PUTIN MEETING

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ), Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, released the following statement today on President Trump’s meeting and press conference with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki:

“Today’s press conference in Helsinki was one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory. The damage inflicted by President Trump’s naiveté, egotism, false equivalence, and sympathy for autocrats is difficult to calculate. But it is clear that the summit in Helsinki was a tragic mistake.

“President Trump proved not only unable, but unwilling to stand up to Putin. He and Putin seemed to be speaking from the same script as the president made a conscious choice to defend a tyrant against the fair questions of a free press, and to grant Putin an uncontested platform to spew propaganda and lies to the world.

“It is tempting to describe the press conference as a pathetic rout – as an illustration of the perils of under-preparation and inexperience. But these were not the errant tweets of a novice politician. These were the deliberate choices of a president who seems determined to realize his delusions of a warm relationship with Putin’s regime without any regard for the true nature of his rule, his violent disregard for the sovereignty of his neighbors, his complicity in the slaughter of the Syrian people, his violation of international treaties, and his assault on democratic institutions throughout the world. 

“Coming close on the heels of President Trump’s bombastic and erratic conduct towards our closest friends and allies in Brussels and Britain, today’s press conference marks a recent low point in the history of the American Presidency. That the president was attended in Helsinki by a team of competent and patriotic advisors makes his blunders and capitulations all the more painful and inexplicable.

“No prior president has ever abased himself more abjectly before a tyrant. Not only did President Trump fail to speak the truth about an adversary; but speaking for America to the world, our president failed to defend all that makes us who we are—a republic of free people dedicated to the cause of liberty at home and abroad. American presidents must be the champions of that cause if it is to succeed. Americans are waiting and hoping for President Trump to embrace that sacred responsibility. One can only hope they are not waiting totally in vain.”

Treason

I watched the press conference of President Donald Trump with his KGB “handler,” Vladimir Putin.

Donald Trump is a traitor.  Donald trump is an asset of a foreign government.  Donald Trump is a puppet of Russia.

The President of the United States is a Russian KGB Asset

The indictment by the Mueller investigation of 12 Russian military officers seeking to influence the American election in favor of Donald Trump by hacking the emails of the Democrats in the 2016 election, is a severe indictment of Donald Trump.   All of this information about the hacking has been available to President Trump since his election victory through his national security briefings… and the entire time, President Trump has been saying that the Mueller investigation is a “witch hunt,” and his allies have been sent out to shamelessly discredit the nation’s top law enforcement agency – undermining our system of justice – as a means to protect one man – el Presidente, Donald Trump.

Donald Trump is most definitely in collusion with the Russian government and KGB.  Trump has a nickname for every other person on the planet, from Lyin’ Ted Cruz, to Crooked Hillary, to Rocket Man Kim Jung Un, to Pocahontas Elizabeth Warren – why no nickname for Putin?  Come on Mr. President, tell us your nickname for Putin.  Or let me provide one, your KGB Handler, Vladimir Putin.  Yep, I think that’s a pretty good nickname for Putin.

President Trump is not having  a summit with Vladimir Putin, he’s having a meeting his KGB handler. 

Oh, Trump doesn’t realize this.  He’s too self-absorbed in his own separate reality to comprehend the situation.  The Russians absolutely 100% have a dossier on Trump’s psychological makeup and vulnerabilities.  I’m a clinical psychologist.  Donald Trump is not hard to understand, and the surface pathology has deeper meaning implications developmentally and psychologically.  Trump is 100% understandable and (chaotically) predictable.

There is zero doubt that the Russians have done their psychological homework on Trump.  They’ve been grooming him for years.  Follow the money – Trump is terrified the FBI will follow the money; and you better believe Mueller’s team has followed the money.  That’s why the Mueller indictment – which is as professional as they come – noted Trump’s campaign trail request for the Russian’s to find “Hilary’s missing emails,” and immediately the KGB begins spear fishing for this information.

Donald Trump is an unwitting KGB asset, recruited, signed, sealed, and delivered.  His handler is the “former” KGB officer, Vladimir Putin.

Donald Trump is 100% doing the bidding of Vladimir Putin.  Donald Trump is sowing discord and division in the NATO alliance, economically weakening Western alliances with trade wars, and he is strongly polarizing the divisions within America, exploiting racial fears and hatreds in Americans, dividing us and pitting us against each other.  All of this weakens America and weakens our alliances.  This is 100% what Putin wants.  Why do you think Putin and the Russians actively sought the election of their asset.  There is a reason Russia actively sought Trump over Clinton.

Here’s how it looks to me.  The co-opting of Trump as an asset likely began in its nascent stages in the 1990s, the KGB has probably had an eye on Trump’s political possibility since the 1990s.  When Trump became financially vulnerable, the KGB (Putin) stepped in through oligarchs (and masked financial trails) to “help out” Trump with financing that kept him afloat (presenting Russia as a “friend”).  That’s why President Trump doesn’t want anyone to see his tax returns, because his tax returns will unravel Trump’s indebtedness to the Russians through funding by oligarchs.  Remember what Trump Jr. said before the candidacy of his father, that the Trump family doesn’t need funding because they have all the funding they need from Russia?

Mueller has seen Trump’s tax returns.  Mueller has unraveled the trail.  Donald Trump was 100% recruited as a Russian “asset.” The only question is, how “unwitting” is Donald Trump.  That speaks to why the President tried to cover up the meeting of Trump Jr. and top campaign officials with Russians.  Knowledge of guilt.

Don’t think for a minute that the Russian KGB and Putin weren’t “grooming” Trump as an asset through financing.  They know the political scene in the U.S.  The Moscow Miss Universe Pageant was the point at which they shifted from “recruiting” to operationalizing their asset.  It was likely around this time that they began planting in Trump the idea of a presidential run.  It was likely passed to Trump in innocuous sounding kind of meetings, a “message” was delivered to the asset that “Trump would make a good president (much better than Obama)” and that he would have a “friend” in Putin once he took office.   Trump was sold a vision that together with Putin, the two world leaders, Trump and Putin, could solve all the problems (because Trump is such a good negotiator). 

The Russians’ will 100% know how to use flattery on Donald Trump, and Trump’s pathological hatred of all-things-Obama, and will do so in a way that covers their tracks so their asset won’t be exposed.  Putin didn’t meet with Trump during the Miss Universe Pageant period because they did not want to overtly expose the asset they were recruiting.  It was all handled back-channel through oligarchs and message deliverers.

But our FBI is good.  Really good.  I am immensely proud of our FBI and law enforcement, and I would strongly suggest that those critics seeking to discredit the FBI in order to protect Trump’s collusion with a hostile foreign government seeking to undermine the foundational principles of American democracy, that these allies of Trump read Mueller’s indictment of the 20 Russians and consider what patriotism demands.  This is a defining moment in history, and history will be a harsh judge. 

Everything that is hidden will be revealed.  A thread is unraveling.  The President of the United States is an (unwitting?) asset of the Russian KGB and Putin.  Given the display of “consciousness of guilt” by Trump, I’d say a witting asset of the KGB.  Donald Trump knows, and he’s afraid it’s going to be exposed – and it is, by Mueller’s team and the American FBI – the best law enforcement agency in the world.

Our democracy is being threatened.  It is the oath of the President to defend America from all enemies, foreign and domestic.  Watch as President Trump caves to Putin’s will.
