Coup d’etat is defined in Wikipedia as “the illegal and overt seizure of a state by the military or other elites within the state apparatus”.
It is difficult for Americans, who have a long tradition of the orderly transition of power, to admit that what we are seeing now is a coup. But it grows ever more obvious that this is exactly what we are experiencing. To review briefly:
Trump’s legitimacy has been challenged continuously since election day, beginning with the ridiculous recounts in multiple states, continuing with the loudly publicized calls for the Electoral College to void the election, and culminating with violent protests across the nation, including in DC for the inauguration. A cadre of powerful connected individuals have banded together under the motto #NeverTrump, originally before the election, but continuing after to deprive Trump of all legitimacy and find any method to remove him. The media have taken a lead role in the plotting and execution of the delegitimization of the President. All major news organizations have helped the plotters along, some such as NBC and CNN are particularly dedicated in their support. A series of carefully scripted political moves were made to force the appointment of an Independent Counsel (IC) to investigate Trump, more or less guaranteeing the continuation of the delegitimization campaign, ad infinitum. Impeachment has been made a constant topic in the news, via a few minor political players like Maxine Waters, coupled with a multi-million dollar ad campaign paid for by a liberal hedge fund billionaire, Tom Steyer.
We are approaching the end of the first-phase of the coup. This is a non-military coup, but what we are witnessing clearly fits the definition of “the overt seizure of the state by an elite within the state apparatus”
Renowned patriot author and speaker Matt Bracken, in a series of postings and interviews, has outlined the basic mechanics of the coup. Central figures include former FBI director James Comey and the Independent Counsel Robert Mueller, assistant US Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and current acting director of the FBI Andrew McCabe. Motivation for all of them is self-preservation. As we have learned Clinton-World was a very corrupt place and the list of self-serving deals and those who benefited from them includes all of the key plotters. None of them believed there was any chance Hillary would lose and leave them exposed. She did. They are.
The FBI is America’s KGB: powerful, political, self-preserving, ruthless and clever. They make no bones about their enjoyment of bringing down mere politicians, although some of their most high profile convictions are so poorly put together that they are reversed on appeal. The FBI are the active arm of the Deep State, as the secret police are in all totalitarian societies. Americans of a certain generation have to strip away the years of propaganda indoctrination that the FBI are “the good guys” and look closely at what they do. The DOJ are their partners in all this, together they are the muscle of the Deep State plotters.
“But wait!” you say. If Trump or anyone else is guilty of high crimes then impeachment and prosecution are legitimate. The resulting change of power is not a coup, but a successful application of our Constitution.
To get to the deeper levels of the plot one needs to go beyond what CNN and NBC report, to the plotters themselves. A great place to start is British reporter and spy groupie Louise Mensch, and her blog Patribiotics. She has real connections in the intelligence community and was the first to report the use of FISA warrants against Trump.
This was clearly an illegal use of the most powerful wiretapping tool in the US law enforcement arsenal. FISA warrants were created to help prevent terrorism, not to ensure election of Deep State approved candidates. It has been criminally misused by the Obama administration to spy on political opponents and blackmail them with the illicitly obtained knowledge.
Think I exaggerate? Why did Gen. Flynn plead guilty to lying? How could the FBI prove he lied in conversations with the Russian ambassador? Wiretaps, that’s how. This is the old method of the KGB. Bugging and surveillance of everyone all the time was a charge against the Soviet Block routinely leveled by US officials and portrayed in Hollywood movies during the Cold War. Now, America’s KGB use the techniques of the Soviets promiscuously to advance their own agendas.
Even a casual reading of Mensch will show you that the Deep State agenda is not merely to remove Trump, but also to remove Pence, Ryan, McConnell and whoever else stands in their way. Discussion of “do-over elections” is a serious topic there, as is simply removing every person until a flexible insider is found to run things. The propensity for targeting children, a particularly heinous tactic of secret police everywhere, is clearly in evidence as well, and was reportedly a major tactic used to coerce Flynn’s confession.
There is plenty of evidence of exactly what is happening, too much to ignore. Perhaps, as Bracken argues, the coup is failing. Too many loose ends, the hidden motivations are being revealed. Perhaps as the mysterious “Book of Q” by AnonQ argues, the “white hat” counter-offensive to this will resolve the issue, decisively, and leave the Deep State conspirators vanquished by Trump’s team.
We can hope these analysis are correct, but for our own sake we must shake off our habits of mind, which dismisses this as “just politics”, and begin to call what we are seeing by it’s true name.
We are witnessing a Deep State coup d’etat attempt. It appears to have a non-trivial chance of succeeding. If it does succeed we will have crossed the rubicon, and there will be no going back. Now is the time to call the beast by its true name: “a coup”. Now is the time to act accordingly: to preserve what remains of our tattered Republic and the rule of law. To force the will of the majority on the forces plotting in the shadows, to force them into the light, and thence into the the chains and cages they so richly deserve.
I am stunned, literally. This is the kind of stuff, FR was built on, and not one comment?
The article was written in 2017.
You typed “12DEC18” in your header.
The text makes a reference to Andrew McCabe as acting FBI Director, which caught my attention.
That's an inaccurate statement from the get-go.
People on the Left who follow politics (i.e. watch MSNBC, CNN, CBS) know that the embedded Deep State is working to remove Trump and they are fully supportive.
Conservatives see what the Deep State is doing and realize full-well that they may have to take up arms when the time comes.
People who don't follow politics are oblivious but not because they trust our tradition for orderly transition of power but because they can't see beyond the tedium of their own little lives.
Frankly I am not sure this isn’t a thread for humblegunner, nevertheless, there were three links in the original article that came from a blog, hence my mention of the above named freeper.
None of the links made the transition to this thread, and the two concerning Matt B. were dead links, as in removed for specious reasons. I have no idea if the one I am including, which appears to be a year old is of any value, but it at least expands a bit on the coup issue. It is about 23 minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAK1RtsLQLU
The other link to a blog was not helpful in my opinion. I do agree with Matt, that the FBI as it exists today is not a friend of the USA, and the evidence goes back before WACO and Ruby Ridge as if those were not tell tale enough. If I could remember Matt’s screen name, I would ping him to get the latest but maybe his web link would be sufficient, which is contained within the video link.
Wasn't he fired a long time ago? Almost a year at least?
And when they do seek out the "Truth", who do they turn to?
The media.
Good God, we are so screwed!
Seriously, the powers that are stacked against us are formidable--starting with the media as MOST powerful.
When the common people, as you describe, take a few minutes to gauge the state of the nation, they get lies, lies, and more lies.
Pray.
"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places."
--Saint Paul
Not at all.
We have the Creator of the Universe on our side. We are hardly screwed.
That said, we are in for a real fight and it will probably get bloody. But we will win.
Take heart.
The actual Coup” happened long ago. So many years ago it has not been memorialized in history so most remain completely unaware. What do you think Make America Great Again even means? Trump has just been a counter coup attempt which so far is unsuccessful. Sorry to report.
Oh, absolutely!
Did you read the end of my post?
When the war begins, it will be the end of man’s way on earth, we have an eternal King, and he rules His way, the people will not win with what they think..God doesn’t need our crud , the world is dead before Him, never seen life..
When he returns we will know man’s way is sin, if we look at the world, remove the rose glasses and realize the chasm between mans reality and the Lord saying the birds of the field do not sow or reap for food why do you? That is a long long way away from the concrete hell holes we decided were better..
Yep. But that quote describes our enemy and, in isolation, is not encouraging.
If Trump really wants to resist the deep state coup, then he should remove his son-in-law far away from his presence.
Jared, evidently, is its spear point.
...”If Trump really wants to resist the deep state coup, then he should remove his son-in-law far away from his presence.

I so totally agree. Leave Jared and Ivanka out of the crucial freedom preserving decisions. I suspect they are New York City elites, complete with NYC liberal cultural and political views. Trump needs to replace Jared with the advice of his own sons.
“Jared, evidently, is its spear point.”
He is a bad man from a criminal family and cares nothing for this country except what he can wring out of it. Flying around on our dime making backroom deals.
fortunately, you don’t matter. Your slander is pointless
Yes, I knew he was trouble the moment he weaseled into the WH. Why a supposedly very smart man would want him around baffles me.
He's also the guy who got Bannon & Christie booted. I don't trust or like him.
Very much agree. As the framers of the Republic charged us, there needs to be constant vigilance of the citizenry. For most Americans today, their hearts are overcharged with bread and circuses. Men and women with a sober, lucid mind about the state of the country are clearly a minority.... darkness is relentless, and if we watch the progression of the Communist machine in America over the past few decades, we are seeing the results.. Remember what Nikita Khrushchev declared many years ago, that the American people would fall into their hands like ripe fruit. That day, sadly, has come.
Humpty dumpty was pushed.
