What is this all about?
And so the Golden Golem of Greatness re-enters the hall of mirrors that Syria has become.
The US intelligence “community” has informed the US Media that Syrian President Assad is planning a new gas attack on Idlib Province, where a ragtag army of US-backed “rebels” (ISIS, etc) remain holed up against Assad’s forces backed by Russian air support . Have we seen this movie before?
Is Mr. Assad truly that dumb? —
since the last time a gas attack was alleged, President Trump averred that he would attack Syria.
And what did he even mean by that? Send a barrel bomb down the Assad family chimney, or just blow up more stuff on the ground? And for what? To birth another failed state in the Middle East (just what the world needs), or perhaps start World War Three with Russia?
Excuse me if I am skeptical about anything the US intel “community” dredges up these days in the way of breaking news.
Branches of that sprawling vine are already infected with creeping rot.
I speak, of course, of the upper echelons of the FBI especially and their counterparts in the CIA orbit (ex-Directors John Brennan, Michael Hayden, ex DNI James Clapper and their cronies still on-the-job).
Just as there is loose talk about an Assad gas attack, there’s also a lot of loose talk around the Internet that a large number of US intel communitarians are about to be busted for their political misconduct around the 2016 election.
Anyway, the Assad gas attack story does raise the question whether the intel community is ginning up a gigantic and ugly distraction from its own inconvenient legal exposure.
Mounting evidence shows an orchestrated campaign by them to meddle in the 2016 elections, and continue meddling afterward to thwart, discredit, delegitimize, and defame Trump, for the purpose of leaving him little room to act.
To a considerable extent, Trump has managed to act anyway. For instance, transforming the Supreme Court.
All that nasty business, starting with the news that a grand jury has been secretly grilling former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe for weeks, suggests that events are about to unspool dramatically.
The story has been coiling for months as fresh documents emerge and officials, such as the DOJ Inspector General, confirm what they mean. It remains to be seen whether the Web chatter about dozens of “sealed indictments” coming down is horse-shit.
The baffling part is the role of Attorney General Jeff Sessions. I’m inclined to doubt that Trump’s regular vilifications of Sessions are a ruse, meant to mislead the media about the AG’s activities in these matters.
The DC Swamp is unnerved by Sessions’ extraordinary absence of presence on the scene. Has he actually been involved in any of this, or is he playing a game on his computer?
There is a certain balance between the new hostilities in Syria — possible existential threat — and the anxious disquiet about a so-called “soft coup” against the chief executive.
Most unsettling about these trending events is that they appear on a path to converge this fall, along with the midterm elections.
