Imagine If Lincoln’s Cabinet Had Betrayed the Union…
Here's something to chew on. What if Abraham Lincoln's cabinet secretly sent envoys to the Confederacy, whispering through closed doors that Lincoln was a traitor to the Union? Simply imagine those cabinet members leading impeachment efforts, while, at the same time, northern newspapers are running headlines blaming collusion with Richmond.
When the entire situation unraveled, imagine those same conspirators enjoying today's book tours, along with smiling photo ops and media protection.
For life.
I'm not writing fiction—this is the modern political and media arena, which is, of course, redundant when it comes to the treatment of one Donald J. Trump.
What I find incredible is that Russia! Russia! Russia! collusion hoax wasn't a misunderstanding or a miscommunication; it was sabotage—a full-spectrum disinformation campaign. There were no foreign actors involved: It was Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and their loyal partisans embedded inside America's intelligence agencies and media outlets. And, unlike Watergate, the press helped run the operation instead of uncovering it.
The Blueprint Was Built Before Trump Took Office
Recent revelations give us hard, public evidence that the Trump-Russia narrative didn't begin with intelligence, but with complete idiocy.
John Brennan, then CIA director, briefed President Obama in July 2016 that Hillary Clinton approved a plan linking then-candidate Trump to Russian operatives to distract the public from her own scandal: Emails.
We're not talking guesswork here, Brennan, the non-Rhodes Scholar, put it in writing, and Obama was briefed. So was then-Vice President Joe Biden.
Everything is recorded in official CIA notes, declassified years later.
Obama didn't stop the plan; he built it a stage. The Justice Department, FBI, and CIA joined forces to carry out the scheme: Launching Crossfire Hurricane, requesting illegal FISA warrants, and leaking classified disinformation to a media all too happy to play stenographer.
The Dossier Was the Dynamite
We've known for years that the Clinton campaign directly funded the Steele dossier, which is universally recognized as a fraudulent piece of political fiction. The dossier's material was sourced directly through shady Russian contacts and peddled through cutouts, giving it an air of legitimacy.
This dossier wasn't simply oppo research; it was weaponized, used as the basis for surveillance on American citizenry. This bovine-excrement fiction was inserted into briefings with the incoming president to give the press a news hook. Then, eager-beaver "journalists," keen to connect those invisible dots (read: invented dots) between Trump Tower and the Kremlin, ran with the narrative.
All of the intelligence tools developed by the United States to fight terrorism were turned inward to fight a presidential candidate who dared to fight the establishment.
The Media Didn’t Miss the Story: They Were the Story
You're being downright generous if you believe the press simply got it wrong. Big mistake! The press were co-conspirators, willing accomplices. The press didn't only know better, because they did, but they didn't care.
The left's bastion of integrity, Rachel Maddow, ran nightly monologues treating the Steele dossier as gospel, like the time she ran with Trump's taxes. CNN's Jim Sciutto, Jake Tapper (our objective journalist when it's convenient), and numerous others played their part, acting as conduits for anonymous sources and delivering primetime scoops. The New York Times and Washington Post shared Pulitzers for "coverage" that turned out to be wrong. Not simply "wrong," but "Dewey Beats Truman!" wrong.
Now?
Silence, without retractions or remorse. No accountability, just the same teleprompter-readers pivoting to whatever the following TDS cycle demands: indictments, insurrections, trials, or tax returns.
It never ends.
Obama Knew. Hillary Built It. The Press Sold It.
The moral treachery of this entire Shakespearean spectacle is that the audience applauded the wrong actors.
The human being who provided time for the Earth to finally heal, Barack Obama, knew that good ol' Hill greenlit a lie, letting it fester. Barry didn't stop it or speak out; he let the DOJ run wild, allowing a sitting president to be undermined with weapons of intelligence crafted for a FOREIGN war.
Hillary Clinton, having already exposed state secrets through her illegal bathroom server, shifted the national spotlight with one of, if not the number one, deceitful political tricks in American history: Accuse your enemy of the very crime that you've committed. Pure projection, distraction, and destruction.
These public figures didn't act alone, not when people like James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and Nellie Ohr had speaking parts. These actors weren't rogue; they belonged to the rogue system.
And Yet, They Walk Free
Today, they walk freely, rich, celebrated, untouched, and protected. Meanwhile, our duly elected president, Donald J. Trump, endured two impeachments, constant legal warfare, and public scorn from the far left, based on their lies.
These lies metastasized through every corner of America's media, poisoning trust, dividing neighbors, and convincing half the nation that their president was nothing but a Russian stooge.
What we witnessed wasn't Watergate: That was amateur hour compared to this. What we watched was a coordinated, government-led, media-endorsed insurrection against the will of the people of America. All of that to preserve the power of a political class, believing that its ends justified any means.
What Happens When No One Pays?
It's sad to say that history tells us that this isn't the final betrayal.
If those responsible are never held accountable and never face trial for their actions, then a precedent has been set.
Then, precedent becomes permission.
The next outsider, the one who challenges the regime, is treated in the same way. Tools are already in place: secret courts, corrupted journalists, partisan prosecutors, and fabricated intelligence.
What was once unthinkable has become the blueprint; a scandal is now a strategy.
Meanwhile, the rest of us, who have grown increasingly numb to the injustice that has become all too common, get to watch it happen again. And again, convincing talking heads tell us that it's normal.
This is democracy, for our "safety."
Final Thoughts
Our Constitution was never designed to withstand enemies dressed in creased pants, giving thrills down the spines of bloody idiots pretending their narrative is the truth. Those tools carried briefcases and spoke Ivy League English. Things were written solely to check power, not deception.
When lies become laws and truth becomes treason, we're no longer governed.
We're managed.
The consent of the people does not rule us, but the silence of cowards.
Now that the cowards have finally drifted into the darkness, we, the people, have been given a second chance to cry out in the dark, screaming that we will not go silently into the night.
We are Americans who have a president who remembers the sacrifices and honor of those who came before us. Patriots, who by the grace of God gave their lives for us to remain free.
May the Lord prevent us from forgetting what they've given and provide the strength to shine the light on the people who placed themselves before our country.
Because we're worth it.
Right?
