From The Saker:

According to Wikipedia, General Flynn is the former

• Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency
• Joint Functional Component Command for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance
• Chair of the Military Intelligence Board
• Assistant Director of National Intelligence
• Senior intelligence officer for the Joint Special Operations Command.

He is also Trump’s National Security Advisor.  In other words, his security clearance is stratospherically high and he will soon become the boss of all the US intelligence services.  And yet, these very same intelligence services are investigating him for his contacts with the Russian Ambassador…

This is all absolutely crazy because this is evidence that the US intelligence community as gone rogue and is now taking its orders from the Neocons and their deep state and not from the President and that these agencies are now acting against the interests of the new President…

[F]ar from having accepted defeat, the Neocons and the US deep state have decided, as they always do, to double-down and they are now embarking on a full-scale “color revolution” which will only end with the impeachment, overthrowal or death of Donald Trump.

One of the most amazing features of this color revolution against Trump is the fact that those behind it don’t give a damn about the damage that their war against Trump does to the institution of the President of the United States and, really, to the United States as a whole.  That damage is, indeed, immense and the bottom line is this: President Trump is in immense danger of being overthrown and his only hope for survival is to strike back hard and fast.

The other amazing thing is the ugly role Britain plays in this process: all the worst filth against Trump is always eventually traced back right to the UK.  How come?  Simple.  Do you recall how, formally at least,  the CIA and NSA  did not have the right to spy on US nationals and the British MI6 and GCHQ had no right to spy on British nationals.  Both sides found an easy way out: they simply traded services: the CIA and NSA spied on Brits, the MI6 and GCHQ spied on Americans, and then they simply traded the data between “partners” (it appears that since Obama came to power all these measures have now become outdated and everybody is free to spy on whomever the hell they want, including their own nationals).  The US Neocons and the US deep state are now using the British special services to produce a stream of filth against Trump which they then report as “intelligence” and which then can be used by Congress as a basis for an investigation.  Nice, simple and effective…

The Pentagon and the Three Letter Agencies are probably the most corrupt entities on the planet and since they have never been challenged, never mind punished, for their corruption they must have become fantastically complacent about how they were doing things, essentially counting on the White House to bail them out in case of problems.  The main weapon used by these circles are the numerous secrecy laws which protect them from public and Congressional scrutiny.  But here Trump can use his most powerful card: General Flynn who, as former director of the DIA and current National Security Advisor to the President will have total access.  And if he doesn’t – he can create it, if needed by sending special forces to ensure “collaboration”…

[W]hile 9/11 was a US “deep state” operation (probably subcontracted for execution to the Israelis), the entire Washington “swamp” has been since “9/11 accomplice after the fact” by helping to maintain the cover-up.  If this is brought into light, then thousands of political careers are going to crash and burn into the scandal.

9/11 was a collective crime par excellence.  A few men actually executed it, but then thousands, possibly tens of thousands, have used their position to execute the cover-up and to prevent any real investigation.  They are ALL guilty of obstruction of justice.  By opening a new investigation into 911, but one run by the Justice Department and NOT by Congress, Trump could literally place a “political handgun” next to the head of each politician and threaten to pull the trigger if he does not immediately give up on trying to overthrow Trump.  What Trump needs for that is a 100% trusted and 100% faithful men as the director of the FBI, a man with “clean hands, a cool head and a burning heart” (to use the expression of the founder of the Soviet Secret Police, Felix Dzerzhinsky).

From commenter Auslander:

There is one huge difference between the various revolutions fomented by H. D. Clinton and her minions in various countries and trying the same thing in USA. The citizens of those countries, like just about every country in the world, were defenseless, totally unarmed. The citizens of USA are armed to the teeth.

The Untermenschen, and that is exactly what Clinton meant when she called us deplorables, she clearly meant Untermenschen, will not allow their success in defeating Clinton Inc. to be overturned. If it comes to that they will fight. Clinton Inc. may have her deep state neocons, her agents carefully preened to carry out her agenda in positions of import in many government agencies, her sleeper agents if you will, but there is one enormous difference between the neocons/rinos and the Untermenschen. Neocons/rinos don’t know how to fight. Some may have served but few have actually faced the roar of the guns.

Vast numbers of the Untermenschen have fought, it was they who were the tip of the spear in the ever more violent US foreign policy of the past two decades. Untold numbers of company grade officers and NCO’s were summarily put out of the armed forces over the last four years, the vast majority having combat experience and some put out within months of attaining enough time in grade to retire. The excuse was ‘reduction in force’.

The US Armed Forces are in large majority conservative. Why do you think in the last few elections most of the absentee ballots were summarily tossed in the trash for ‘arriving too late to count’? Clinton’s minions and her puppet obama knew that the military votes would tip an election against them. It is these veterans who, if needs be, will lead the forces needed to save USA one more time. While the neocons/rinos may have their armies of mercenaries, there is no mercenary force in the world that can stand up to an armed and furious citizenry.

From Larchmonter445:

Trump and Flynn are not going to fight any wars except with ISIS.
They have more than the US JSOC can handle. The US Navy might want to have a grand sea battle around the Spratlys and Paracels, but it will be a huge naval graveyard. The Chinese Navy will be up in Qingdao, not facing off with the US.

China has what is necessary to hold the Hegemon at bay. Missiles.
The US defenses on their ships are weak. To exert command and control of the seas like the US Navy wants to do is impossible. Missiles nullify the blue water power. Like missile defenses (S400) nullify the US airpower.

Can the US neocons trigger a war?

Only if Mattis is looking for vainglory. The US is 8-10 years from re-dominating the military sphere with new technology. And that is if Russia and China do nothing and let the US overtake them. Numbers mean nothing when war is EW, Space-launched, lasers and cyber.

Defenses and missiles. That’s how Russia controls the Black Sea, Ukraine, the Baltics, the Syrian air space and wherever it puts its leading edge technology.

All the king’s horses and all the king’s vassals . . . don’t mean sh*t.

Trump is not a puppet. Trump is not a neocon. Everything he wants to fix and build in America go away with a “war”.

The danger is the neocons have their surrogate in Pence.

Watch how the Sessions nomination is delayed. The Justice Dept. is the weapon Trump needs for leverage. Sessions is the key.

All the departments are still in caretaker (Obama people) hands except DOD, CIA, HLS.

Trump is not running the government. All he has is the WH right now. And a line to the military.

And Congress is in the hands of the globalist UniParty. Ryan and McConnell are delaying legislation and the nominees in concert with the Liberals/Dems/Globalists.

Deep State is splintered. Not all are unhappy about Trump.

The key is Flynn. He must get control of all Intel agencies under NSC.
That no one cares about DNI and nominee Dan Coats indicates how weak it will be under Flynn’s ultimate control.

If Mattis bucks Flynn, then all bets are off.

The danger is Mattis and Pence. Not Trump.
