I am tired of the talk heads — on both sides — ‘examining’ the surface appearance of the events in the White House last Friday. What we need to be looking at right now — before we proceed any further — is whether or not the Deep State (DS) openly violated U.S. law when they met with Zelensky prior to Zelensky’s meeting with President Trump.
You have to be aware of the details in these stories to understand why I am so upset right now — with the DS as well as President Trump and his people. So, please, work through the following material:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky torpedoed a crucial mineral deal with the United States—before he even set foot in the White House to meet with President Trump.
And now, thanks to Democrat Senator Chris Murphy, we have confirmation that Zelensky had already decided to sabotage the agreement after cozying up with anti-Trump lawmakers.
On Friday, Zelensky first met with a bipartisan group of U.S. Senators at the Hay Adams Hotel—mere steps away from the White House—where he was showered with praise from deep-state warmongers.
Hemingway also said that she and other Deep State goons might have been advising the Ukrainian President on how to behave in the meeting.
“It later came out that Rice and Tony Blinken, Victoria Nuland, and Alexander Vindman may have been personally advising Zelensky to do this meeting in the way he did — that they recommended him to be hostile and to try to goad Trump into blowing up.,” she wrote.
Yesterday, Susan Rice said of the Trump-Zelensky meeting, “There is no question this was a set up.” She revealed full knowledge of the mineral agreement, complained that it didn’t include “concrete” security agrees (meaning, apparently, commitment of US troops on the ground if conditions merit), and then mischaracterized Trump’s behavior, counting on most Americans to not have watched what transpired over the entire hour in the Oval Office. You can look at this and dismiss it as typical Democrat talking points, but you could also view it as almost a confession, one that includes details about the current “Get Trump” effort. Yes, Trump won the popular vote against unbelievable odds, but if you think Team Obama is being any less involved in quiet insurrections than they were during the first Trump administration (Russia collusion, Ukraine impeachment, etc.), you’re clueless. I’ll remind you that Susan Rice was in the small Jan. 5, 2017 meeting in the WH with other key Russia collusion hoax perpetrators. Zelensky repeatedly declined opportunities to sign the deal in Kyiv and Munich, and requested the meeting at the White House. It later came out that Rice and Tony Blinken, Victoria Nuland, and Alexander Vindman may have been personally advising Zelensky to do this meeting in the way he did — that they recommended him to be hostile and to try to goad Trump into blowing up. Even though he didn’t, and even though Zelensky’s actions horrified many normal Americans, the Obama team went on the airwaves to falsely characterize what happened. I think their goal was to have a wonderful performance by Zelensky, an angry Trump appearing to scuttle the deal, and the support of the neocon portion of the GOP to start applying pressure on Trump to have US Troop commitments as part of the “security guarantee.” It was a set-up, in Susan Rice’s interesting choice of words. Instead, Zelensky had one of the worst stage performances of his acting career, and Trump was statesmanlike (against all odds) throughout. Zelensky followed Team Obama’s advice to be hostile to a tee, but it didn’t land how they thought it would. Surprisingly, one of the most important aspects of it not working out might have been Lindsay Graham’s reaction. Had he and other neocons thought Zelensky was being reasonable, Trump would be having to fight (even moreso) the neocon portion of the GOP in addition to Team Obama’s dirty tricks. Even the “conservative” neocon pundits on TV last night were admitting Zelensky had royally messed up. As you can see from the hostility of the bureaucracy to any Republican oversight, no matter how reasonable or minor it may be, the entrenched bureaucracy and permanent DC apparatus is quite active. That goes quadruple for the deep state in the Intelligence Community. I’d expect more and more shenanigans and to be prepared so that you don’t fall for the next information operation. The post-WWII architecture in Europe and the US needs this war to continue or be settled on “US troops on the ground” type guarantees, even though that’s not what Americans want. Things will heat up here, and it’s a very dangerous time.
So, why did I ask you to read and watch all of that? Because — if the allegations are true — then we have a clear violation of the Logan Act and the people involved need to be prosecuted!
The Logan Act, which bars U.S. citizens from engaging in certain communications with foreign governments without authority of the United States, was constitutional when enacted, and unless or until repealed by Congress, remains valid and enforceable. December 18, 2020
18 U.S. Code § 953 – Private correspondence with foreign governments
Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply, himself or his agent, to any foreign government or the agents thereof for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 744; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(K), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)
Folks, in this case, the authority within the U.S. Government that had to grant permission for these people to discuss anything pertaining to foreign policy with Zelensky was President trump and Secretary of State, Rubio. Therefore, unless President Trump or Secretary Rubio gave these people permission to discuss foreign policy with Zelensky, that meeting would appear to be a violation of U.S. Law.
What’s more, even if President Trump or Secretary Rubio did grant these people permission to discuss foreign policy with Zelensky, it is highly unlikely they told these people to undermine President Trump’s publicly stated position. Therefore, if they went against President Trump’s orders, they might still be in jeopardy of prosecution under the Logan Act.
Either way, it is time to start prosecuting people who violate our laws. Otherwise, why bother with laws at all? We should just dissolve the union and go back to being 50 independent nation States. It is past time we — as a nation — decide which course we want to take, because the alternative is clearly some camouflaged form of tyranny, and I’ll have none of that!
