Free Republic

His followers are blinded sycophants.

Yes, it's a cult. I've noticed that. That's just weird. What kind of reporter even *wants* to have "followers"? That's for gurus and rock stars.

Interesting article; Jen Kuznicki, writing in 2017, was still mad about the level of devotion that Sundance showed to Trump in the 2016 campaign. She seems quite upset about the thrashing he dished out to Ted Cruz.

It's been a while but I believe Mark Levin was also a big Ted Cruz guy, and not so keen on Trump in the 2016 primary season.

Anyway, here's Jen's take on the Trump supporters in the primary season:

Trump supporters slavishly shared articles that propagandized for Trump from prntly.com, theconservativetreehouse.com and others all during the campaign, that severely trashed most of the Republican campaigners, but none more than Ted Cruz.

We had similar battles here on Free Republic, between Cruz and Trump factions. They were some of the harshest election-year internecine warfare F.R. has ever seen.

And Mark Levin pissed a lot of people off in that period. I remember many "He's dead to me" comments about him here at Free Republic, from Trump supporters.

I always felt that was quite unfair to Levin, he's done as more than almost anyone to keep the true American Republic alive.

Jen really doesn't like Sundance, and cites none other than Charles Johnson (remember him? He's gone full libtard since then.) I certainly wouldn't quote him as an authority on anything at this point. In 2017 maybe the full distance he'd traveled to the Left wasn't clear to everyone.

She goes on ranting about other stuff, frankly it's hard to decipher what she's trying to say.

I think she's dead wrong about Sundance as an investigator. I think he's uncovered more than anyone else about the Deep State Coup.

But, sadly for Sundance, I think she's right that his tweet accusing Levin of being an "Israel first" patriot is a typical antiSemitic cannard. Most conservatives are both pro-Israel and pro-America, and the positions are quite complementary for all the obvious reasons, even more so in the Trump /Netenyahu era we're in.

Thanks for sharing that, there is some good background there I was unaware of until now.

One thing hasn't changed: Sundance is extremely pro Trump. 100% pro-Trump every day.

Yep, I think you made this point on a recent video too, and it's a good one.

The entire Federal Government has been captured by the Left, and is not staffed, top to bottom with the little Marxist robots that colleges turn out by the millions each year.

Another factor, I think, is that people on the right, who might have thought of joining the FBI or CIA upon graduation in, say 1960 or 1970 or even 1980 - have, if they have graduated since then - been through a very different experience.

The Government used to belong to all Americans. But since around 1980 Conservatives have increasingly seen where the Government is an active agent of hostility against them. Hell, white kids have had to overcome racist anti-white quotas ("affirmative action") since around then just to get a place in college.

Plus Conservatism drank deeply from the libertarian fountain beginning around 1980 - so the private sector is more the natural home for anyone with "rightest" tendencies, and the Cathedral (to use Heartiste's term) the place for leftists.

The right's alienation from Government has been a big factor in the leftist's takeover.

I will never forget that the greatest anti-communist the CIA ever employed, James J. Angleton, was sure that the CIA had been deeply penetrated by Soviet Communists for the last decade of his career.

As the head of Counter Intelligence he led the hunt for the high level mole or moles within the agency, the hunt which loosely inspired John Le'Carre's most famous trilogy: The Quest for Karla.

Angleton resigned on Christmas Eve, 1974. Essentially due to a PR scandal concocted by the ever-willing Seymour Hersch.

Angleton told reporters from United Press International that he was quitting after 31 years because "my usefulness has ended" and the CIA was getting involved in "police state activities."

So, I date the fall of the CIA to his departure.

The mole that Angleton sought was never exposed.

Three of Angleton's senior aides in counter-intelligence—his deputy Raymond Rocca, executive officer of the counter-intelligence division William J. Hood, and Angleton's chief of operations Newton S. Miller—were coaxed into retirement within a week of Angleton's resignation after it was made clear that they would be transferred elsewhere in the agency rather than promoted, and the counter-intelligence staff was reduced from 300 to 80 people in 1975.

A year later DirectoryColby himself would be ousted, to be replaced by George H.W. Bush.

In 1996 Colby died in an strange canoe accident, drowning on the small river he lived on.

Thanks, good explanation. You are obviously are a lot more familiar with Israels spy operation than most people, possibly including Sundance.

What's interesting about Michigan is that they did have >5% of the vote for third party candidates. The biggest was Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate. Jill Stein was number two, and I there was also one other that was significant. Trump only won by 10,000 votes- so the number and quality of 3rd Party Candidates could be an important factor this year.

Gary Johnson was a uniquely good Libertarian candidate (based on his results). That's partially because he ran twice in a row and didn't really take a break between campaigns. Se he ran continuously for 5 of 6 years, building momentum and name recognition. He was also a more plausible Presidential candidate than previous Libertarian candidates: a two term former Governor, his running mate for VP was also a former Governor.

I don't think the Libertarians are likely to have a candidate nearly as good as him again.

First off thanks for posting this.

The problem with criminal referrals is that the DoJ is under no compunction to do anything special with them. The House was sending up a lot of these back when the GOP was in charge, maybe a dozen back then.

I think there was significant pressure to indict McCabe, after the OIG report said he lied. McCabe got referred by the OIG to the "Office of Professional Responsiblity" aka FBI's HR department, and was fired. And then his case was reviewed by the U.S. Attorney for DC, but she finally announced "no charges will be filed". McCabe had *ALSO* been referred by the House guys (Nunes, Gowdy) a bit earlier.

We heard nothing about the other people they referred, and that was three years ago.

So I don't hold out much hope of anything coming out of these referrals either.

I thought Sundance was Mark Bradman. Maybe I’m wrong about that.

Did you read the article? If not see my comment #10, just above.

Do you assume that the Israeli intelligence apparatus is totally unified in their alliances? It seems clear that there were a lot of intelligence agencies willing to help Obama out with Russia-gate. The Brits, the Italians, the Aussies.

We're all well aware of the hatred Obama had for Netanyahu, and the work Obama's team did to defeat Netanyahu. Why is it so unbelievable that there were strong anti-Netanyahu forces in the Mossad or other Israeli intel agencies just like there were strong anti-Trump forces at work in our own CIA & other intel agencies?

Sundance illustrates his article with this photo montage and caption:

All of that was done while trying to block this:

It's a good article. The first comment at the original site by poster "NVM" sums up the full story, which requires a lot of poking at links in Sundance's post:

In other words, Obama used 5 eyes to spy on Trump and campaign, and when he needed an insurance policy he used British intel assets to set up the Steele dossier and Israeli ops to set up George Papadopolous.

This kind of operation has to be CIA coordinated. Worse, this type of operation spans many nations, and decisions are being made like there is some kind or super government where policies are made and operational decisions are made. And who is their leader?

And it is still in operation. Which means the CIA is still Rogue.
Spit!

Sundance theorizes that an anti-Netanyahu segment of Israel's spy agency was conspiring with the Obama administration to set up Papadopoulos, just as other agencies were setting up other of Trump's foreign policy advisors.

The goal being to keep Obama's Iran deal in place at all costs. What I don't get is why *any* faction of the Mossad would want to keep Obama's deal with Iran in place? Are all Isreali's - regardless of political party preference - extremely leery of Iran? I mean "Death to Israel" is their second favorite chant.

Every week the distance between what people who read Conservative Treehouse know about the Deep State Coup, and what is known by the general public widens. It's now ocean sized. Assuming one buys into Sundance's analysis, which I personally do, for the most part.

It's amazing that still, as we sit here in now the official beginning of Summer 2020 before the election: not one person has been charged in this huge conspiracy to remove Trump. Not one!

Even Maria Baraloma asked Barr (paraphrasing): "If Trump loses, won't that be the end of all of this investigation of the Deep State Coup Plotters? Won't they get away with it all?"

His answer was "he expects news this summer".

To state the obvious Sept. 1 of an election year is the very worst time frame to bring charges like this. (But better than not bringing them.)

What the XXXX is going on with Durham? Is he just a shiny object being used to keep us distracted while this whole thing is put to bed by the deep state? That seems to have been the case with Huber.

All Q’s should understand It is time for the reveal.

I watched the whole Trump rally. It was great fun.

No reveal, though.

Quit tearing statues down and tell your people to clean up their act! A lot of the people tearing statues down are white. Especially in Portland, OR, which has something like 100 black residents at this point.

I am no common troll. I'm the King of all Trolls. This why no troll can defeat me. I wrote the book, remember?

Ahem!

Durham is not the only game in town.

Really? What other games are "in town"?

RE THIS FEED:

This isn't live. There has been at least some looping done, I listed to it for an a couple hours and was back on repeat on the interviews.

So, I dunno. It's an OK feed otherwise, hopefully they return to live at some point.

I might look for a different source, although I like the three hosts here. The ads and looping segments are a drag.

Several long interviews with black supporters of Trump at the rally. This second one has kind of gone off track, with the person she’s interviewing advocating reparations and name-checking Black Lives Matter. The interviewer did a great job, listened and kept it mutually successful.

Obviously, commemorative coins, that are silver plated or gold plated are a terrible investment. I also have trouble taking copper coins very seriously. It's $2.65 a pound. An old copper penny has a melt value of 1.8 cents at that price. (145 copper pennies to the lb.)

(Long ad on the linked live feed)

Gold and silver bullion coins with no numismatic (collector's value) are a good deal, though.

You might be able to find those with Trump's image on them, I'm not sure.

Numismatic coins (like ancient Roman gold coins) have been a good investment, but you have to know what you are doing. I don't, so I avoid them.

Bullion coins come from both government mints (including US Mint) and private mints. The private ones are referred to as "rounds" when they look like coins, the ones produced by governments are coins. Here are a few of my favorites (silver):

One Oz. Canadian coin:

Silver's spot price is $17.71 an oz. This coin costs $21.42 new from Kitco.

This 1 oz American bullion coin ("American Eagle") is $24.22. Quite a premium over buying the Canadian coin. (They mine a lot of silver in Canada).

Typical privately minted silver round. Here's the reverse:

This particular round is listed at $21.87. They tend to be a bit less than the Canadian Maple Leaf, but sometimes a bit more.

Discounts on all of these in Qty. 10 or more. They are frequently bought in plastic packages of 20. Aka: "tube".

All whites should not be cops because they are in a no-win situation and their lives will be made miserable.

Great, so in a country built by white citizens, with still a 70% white majority, all the police will be black.

And this will be good for white people, how exactly?

PS: It's interesting to still see Buckley fans out there. Buckley's main technique over the years was the PURGE. He purged every other conservative who didn't meet his latest purity tests, in the end even trashing the man who was best man at his wedding, and of course famously throwing Pat Buchanan under the bus.

So, he's the patron saint of Never Trump Republicans, like the ones who just stated the Anti-Trump pack to help elect Biden.
