The Deep State Blues<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Lest you wonder, not only did I\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0vote for Mr. Trump (or Hillary), but I relished heaping opprobrium on him during the election campaign. Just so you know, I\u2019m not advocating for him, but I\u2019m alarmed that the Deep State (the White House + the Intel Agency gang) now appears to be trying to hack the electoral college vote against him.<\/p>\n

The headline deployed everywhere last week, \u201cRussia Hacks Election,\u201d was designed by the Deep State players to deviously lead the broadly dim public to think that Russia somehow interfered with the balloting process, which was not possible since voting machines are not hooked up to the internet. And then it was repeated endlessly by the cable news networks and the newspapers, under the number one rule of propaganda: that if you repeat something often enough, the public will swallow it.<\/p>\n

This dishonest meme was also designed to distract the public from the substance of the emails disclosed by WikiLeaks \u2014 namely, the scamming and trickery of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and the influence-peddling of Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation, which had her flirting with indictment last summer, and only reinforced her already-established public image as an unscrupulous person.<\/p>\n

The New York Times<\/em>\u00a0especially worked the \u201cRussia Hacks Election\u201d story to a fare-the-well, saying in its Sunday edition:<\/p>\n

The Central Intelligence Agency has concluded that Moscow put its thumb on the scale for Mr. Trump through the release of hacked Democratic emails, which provided fodder for many of the most pernicious\u00a0false<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0attacks on Mrs. Clinton on social media.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

False attacks? What, that Hillary\u2019s cronies put the DNC\u2019s \u201cthumb on the scale\u201d against Bernie Sanders? That Donna Brazille gave Hillary debate questions beforehand? That as Secretary of State Hillary gave more face-time to foreign supplicants based on their contributions to the Clinton Foundation, and expedited arms deals for especially big givers?<\/p>\n
