Ray McGovern — Mocking Trump Doesn’t Prove Russia’s Guilt

Good summary of the witch hunting to date. While he doesn't use the McGovern "soft coup" to characterize what is happening, he implies it. It's really about Trump rather than Russia. The US deep state has always had it in for Russia and won't rest until the US controls it, this is really aimed at neutralizing the president and continuing the effort to remove him from power.

Perhaps you saw "news" reports last week calling William Binney, formerly the NSA's technical director for world geopolitical and military analysis and head of the NSA’s Signals Intelligence Automation Research Center, a "conspiracy theorist" in those words. (Details at The Intercept.) Here is what McGovern says about it.

When news of the Binney-Pompeo meeting broke last week, the U.S. mainstream media again rejected the opportunity to rethink the Russia-did-it groupthink and instead treated Binney as some sort of “conspiracy theorist” with a “disputed” theory, while attacking Pompeo’s willingness to discuss Binney’s findings as “politicizing intelligence.”

To control the narrative there has to be only one side presented as obviously true based on "experts" and all other views characterized false, loony, or even faked. This m.o. is central to propaganda and disinformation.

While it doesn't address Russiagate and Trumpgate directly, it puts this in light of the US deep states' big picture.

It's about not on the Middle East but also Central Asia in an effort to wrest control of the Eurasian land mass from Russia and China. Recall Zbigniew Brzezinski's The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives. The Great Game is still on.

‘US intel community lost professional discipline’ — Ex-NSA tech director Binney on ‘Russia hacking’ report

The undisguised and clearly politically motivated report on the alleged 2016 US “election hack” displays a severe lack of “professional discipline” in the intelligence community, former NSA technical director and whistleblower William Edward Binney told RT.…

“Basically it means that our intelligence community has lost the professional discipline of an intelligence function. And this is very dangerous. That’s why I’m an advocate for what president-elect Trump is doing by challenging what they are saying, because they need to be challenged,” Binney told RT.

“Because they are not being professional and disciplined in what they’re doing. That’s why they can’t stop any of these terrorist attacks. They are really good, the FBI is anyway, in entrapping people but it’s not in stopping real attacks.”

Lars Schall Interviews former NSA Technical Director for Intelligence William Binney

Anyway, it was quite lengthy and very thorough, and my whole point was to try to get across to [the Bundestag] that what NSA and the intelligence community in the Five Eyes at least and probably in some of the other countries, I don’t know exactly which ones and I’ve made this clear, but I think they’re not doing alone, and it’s the idea of collecting massive amounts of data is just like the STASI – except this time I kind of tried to get across to them that it’s like the STASI on super steroids. As Wolfgang Schmidt, the former lieutenant colonel of East German STASI, commented about NSA’s surveillance program: For us, this would have been a dream come true. Well, that’s the whole point of it, it’s so invasive, it’s digital surveillance on a massive scale, and I tried to get that across to them. Because this is basically a fundamental threat to our democracy and every democracy around the world, you know I call it over here in the United States the greatest threat to our democracy since our Civil War.
