MUELLER REPORT SARCASM
After two years of gaslighting the public while
it blew smoke up America’s ass, the Jacobin news media enjoyed its final feeding
frenzy with the release of the 400-page Mueller report. They expected 1000 pounds of
raw filet mignon, but it turned out to be tofu fried in olestra. The ensuing
fugue of hyperventilating hysteria was also duly expected and William Barr
stoically endured their hebephrenic peevings at the release ceremony — a press
conference which itself offended the media.
The threats and raving continued all the
livelong day and far into the peeper-filled night with CNN’s Chris Cuomo
blustering “It’s time to rumble,” and the lugubrious hack David Gergen
muttering soulfully, “This was not fake
news,” and The Times’ Maggie
Haberman fuming that the White House had played the “Nazi anthem” Edelweiss — very fake news, it
turned out, since the tune was written for Rodgers’ and Hammerstein’s 1959
Broadway show, The Sound of Music (and
sung by the anti-Nazi hero Baron von Trapp). Meanwhile Rachel Maddow had the
balls to confab in prime time with disgraced former FBI mandarin Andy McCabe,
officially identified as a liar by his own colleagues at the agency. What a
circus of perfidious freakery!
Understand
that the Mueller Report itself
was the mendacious conclusion to a deceitful investigation, the purpose of
which was to conceal the criminal conduct of US government officials meddling
in the 2016 election, in collusion with the Hillary Clinton campaign,
to derail Mr. Trump’s campaign, and then disable him when he managed to win the
election. Mr. Mueller was theoretically trying to save the FBI’s reputation,
but he may have only succeeded in injuring it more gravely.
The whole wicked business began as a (failed)
entrapment scheme using shadowy US Intel “assests” Stefan Halper and Joseph Mifsud to
con small fish Papadopoulos and Carter Page into incriminating themselves (they
declined to be conned) and moved on to ploys like the much-touted Trump Tower meeting to ensnare
Trump Junior and then to several efforts (also failed) to flip Paul Manafort,
and Michael Cohen — the final product of which was an epic failure to find one
instance of real chargeable criminal collusion between anyone connected to Mr.
Trump and Russia.
By
the way, the Mueller Report failed to mention that the two Russians present in
that August 2016 Trump Tower meeting, lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya and lobbyist
Rinat Akhmetshin, were on the payroll of Hillary Clinton’s oppo research
contractor Fusion GPS, and met with that company’s principal, Glenn Simpson,
both before and after the meeting — just one example among many of the Mueller
Team’s shifty tactics, but a move that speaks volumes about Mr. Mueller’s
actual intent, which was to keep his prosecutorial circus going as long as
possible to interfere with Mr. Trump carrying out his own duties.
The Special Prosecutor’s main bit of mischief,
of course, was his refusal to reach a
conclusionon the obstruction of justice charge. What the media refuses to
accept and make clear is that a prosecutor’s failure to reach a conclusion
is exactly the same thing as
an inability to make a case, and it was a breach of Mr. Mueller’s duty to
dishonestly present that failure as anything but that in his report — and
possibly an act of criminal prosecutorial misconduct.
Like any tantrum, the media’s frenzy will run
out of steam (and credibility) and now they will be whipped like dogs for
betraying their public trust.
There
is a counter-narrative to the “Resistance” narrative, and it is a true crime
story. That suppressed story is finally going to roll out in the implacable
workings of actual (not fake) justice and it is
going to crush a lot of people who concocted this epic political hoax,
including some members of the press who knowingly and dishonestly abetted it.
Many criminal referrals have already been made on the likes of James
Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and Bruce Ohr, and a big net has
been cast to pull in the figures who have been hiding in the thickets lo these
two-and-a-half-years of smoke and gaslight: Loretta Lynch, Sally Yates, William
Brennan, James Clapper, Nellie Ohr, Samantha Power, Bill Priestap, Jim Rybicki,
James Baker, Mike Kortan, John Carlin, Mary McCord, Josh Campbell and more.
Some of these are going to jail and some have already flipped. The fetchings should reach the Obama White
House. Mr. Mueller himself, even in his majestic granitic silence, will be
liable for failing to inform his boss, the Attorney General,
that the predicate document for his witch hunt was known to be a fraud back in
2016, and was used anyway to spy on a presidential candidate.
Let congress put on a carnival of its own now.
It will be greeted like a TV commercial for a hemorrhoid remedy while the real national
psychodrama plays out in grand juries and courtrooms, demonstrating what a
grievous injury was done to this republic by its own vested authorities.
JIM KUNSTLER: THE RUSSIAGATE
FIASCO IS ONLY HALF OVER
Unfortunately for the nation, the RussiaGate
fiasco is only half over. There is just too much documented official
turpitude on the public record for the authorities to answer for and the
institutional damage runs too deep. Act One, the Mueller investigation, was a
22-month circle-jerk of prosecutorial misconduct and media malfeasance. Act Two will be the circular firing squad of
former officials assassinating each other’s character to desperately avoid
prosecution.
In
the meantime, there is the
nation’s business which has been hopelessly burdened by an hallucinatory
overlay of Wokester idiocy emanating from the campuses, so that
even in the absence of the Mueller distraction every organized endeavor in this
land from-sea-to-shining-sea is paralyzed by race-and-gender hustles. Next up: a national debate over reparations for slavery
In the background lay the ticking time bombs of
health care, college loan debt, and pension funds.
These
are rackets and Ponzi schemes.
Before
we get to Medicare-for-all,
I’d like to see congress pass one simple law requiring all medical service
“providers” in the land to publicly post the price of all their services, from
the cost of heart transplants down to those $90 Tylenols they dispense. Let’s
see how that affects the lawless hocus-pocus of insurance companies
“negotiating” their payments with the medical corporatocracy before we go whole-hog
for a nationalized health service.
The colleges have already destroyed themselves
intellectually, and thereby the value of their overpriced credentialing
services.
The smaller colleges are already folding, and many more will follow now until
higher education becomes a boutique industry.
The
pension funds are truly big, ominous bombs,
because when they fail, they will set up unresolvable fiscal problems that will
turn ugly and political. Even if the federal government attempts some kind of
“one-time” bail-out, it will not solve the embedded Ponzi problem of a system
that has to pay off an ever-expanding pool of claims with an ever-diminishing
stream of revenue. It will
only be another swipe of the blade cutting off the legs of the US dollar so
that it in end every pensioner will receive his-or-her promised payout in
dollars that are increasingly worthless. We may even discover
that the opioid epidemic has been the only thing keeping the immiserated
denizens of Flyover-land from resorting to violent insurrection.

Hollow and
Laughable': Russia Issues Own Scathing 120-page Reaction to Mueller Report
One day following last Thursday's bombshell Mueller
report — or rather
we should say the report which ended three years of nonstop 'Russiagate'
hysteria with a
not-so-dramatic whimper — the
Russian embassy in the US issued its own scathing report, calling the collusion
conspiracy which Mueller's team sought to uncover "hollow and laughable".
The Russian embassy also said it was "no
surprise" that the investigation delivered "no tangible
result" in its own massive 120-page study, released online Friday, even the title of which pulled no
punches — The Russiagate Hysteria: A Case of Severe
Russiaphobia.
The publication blasted a list of "groundless
accusations" repeated since Trump's 2016 election, including allegations
of Russian election meddling, the Kremlin's supposedly being behind the DNC
hack, as well as Trump's working with Russian intelligence.
It concluded in the wake of the Mueller report:
The investigation... didn't show any real evidence to back up claims
of Moscow's cyberattacks and attempts to "subvert democracy".
