The Ongoing Effort to Remove Trump: A Coup d'etat is Brewing | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Keep an Eye on the Political Coup that is brewing. It is coordinated at many levels.

    A coup d'etat is defined as an overthrow of government, and hence the state, by the illegal and overt seizure of power by the military or other elites within the state apparatus. James Downton explains: "Unlike the coup d'etat that sees a military or popular figure lead a minority resistance or majority force into power over the legitimate government, this coup d'etat is leaderless and exposes some of the deepest fissures in our system of government. This coup d'etat represents not the rule of one man or even many, but by the multitude of our elites."

    Ever since I shockingly watched as a news reporter pondered on air what would happen if both Donald Trump and Mike Pence were assassinated during the inauguration ceremony, and ever since I witnessed the Women's March on January 21... And as I continue to observe how members of Congress have absolutely lost all semblance of obedience to the Constitution and respect for the Electoral College outcome as they attack Trump for every word and breath he has taken so far in office, as I disappointingly note how the liberal courts are doing their best to re-write the Constitution and federal laws duly enacted by prior administrations, and as I listen disbelievingly each day to the conjured, false narrative that the Russians interfered with the presidential election and that there was collusion between Putin and Trump and his team in order to rob Hillary of her victory, and as I read about the audacious repeated leaks from government in violation of our federal Espionage and other laws in order to frustrate and taint our new president, and I see college students act like uncivilized savages on their campuses when any conservative speaker dares to be invited, and as I listen dumbfounded to members of Congress call for Trump's impeachment when no action has warranted this action, I know that we are in the midst of a coup d'etat. I've made this allegation for months now and I can't help but notice how many are now saying the very same thing.

    I'm still, to some extent, affected deeply by the dark depths to which the Trump-hating media went on that glorious inauguration day. Who can ever forget it? During the inauguration events, CNN contributor Brian Todd had the audacity to openly brainstorm what would happen if President-elect Donald Trump and Vice-President-elect Mike Pence were assassinated. (Who would be in charge if an attack hit the incoming president, vice-president, and Congressional leaders just as the transfer of power is underway?") Their conclusion? According to their diabolic, yet hypothetical scheme, it would be a member of the Obama cabinet who would be selected to take over as president. As Todd explained: "According to the Constitution, if the president and vice president are killed or incapacitated, next in line is the House Speaker, then the President Pro Tempore of the Senate...... But what if something happened to them at the inauguration, too?"

    He continued: "After that, it goes down the list of cabinet secretaries, starting with secretary of state. On the day of the inauguration, as a precaution, a cabinet secretary called the 'designated presidential successor' will not attend the inauguration, ready to step in if something happens. But it won't be a Trump cabinet secretary, since none of them have been confirmed yet. It will be an Obama appointee."

    But Todd wasn't the only one to mention a hypothetical assassination. Before his report, news anchor Wolf Blitzer led into the story by asking: "What if an incoming president and his immediate successors were wiped out on day one?" As anyone can recall, tensions had never been higher than they were on election night, when ALL polls were proven wrong and Donald Trump was elected president, and in all the days after, even leading up to Inauguration Day. After all, that was what the Women's March was all about and thousands upon thousands turned out for that. The remarks by Blitzer and Todd were highly reckless given the tension level and the frazzled, fragile psyche of many progressives who wouldn't need any more than a suggestion to commit such an unspeakable act. How many "crazed lone gunmen" have assassinated our political figures in the past? How many have done so with less of a provocation? We are told that Jack Ruby silenced Lee Harvey Oswald in order to spare Jackie Kennedy the ordeal of seeing the man who murdered her husband go on trial.

    And so, as Downton aptly describes it, this brewing coup d'etat "represents not the rule of one man or even many, but by the multitude of our elites." A full-on smear campaign is being coordinated at many levels, including by rogue officials remaining from the previous administration, by a group of exceedingly ignorant and partisan US politicians, by statist Republicans, and most brazenly, by the leftist media (ie, over 90% of the media). There is only one word to describe their conduct - other than "treasonous" and "rebellious" - and that is "deception." They are trying to deceive the American people of the worth of the man they elected. It is a smear campaign and nothing more. Downton explains it best: "The attack on Trump from within is coordinated and purposefully geared to make a lack of evidence seem like a mountain of evidence and be as damning as possible, although what it truly amounts to is a paper tiger. With the administrative state leaking and the partisans giving context, the media gins up a plot that declares Trump guilty of crimes of which there is no concrete evidence he committed. This is how you build the consensus behind a coup d'etat."

    We the People need to figure out a way to help conservatives ORGANIZE across the country so that if the government devolves according to the leftist plan and all hell breaks loose, we can put a plan in place to defend our rights under the Declaration (with respect to government) and to prevent the evil from taking hold. If government cannot function for the people who elected this president, then we don't need government at all. It will have ceased to be a constitutional republic and will have officially become a political oligarchy, where a select group of political heavyweights run the country.

    We have a dark group that is using the Democratic Party for their own purposes and a dark group within our government that continues to ignore us and work against us, that continues to subvert the useful ends of government, and that continues to want to un-do the legitimate and constitutional election of Donald Trump - a man who won the presidency against all odds and against a powerful machinery that did everything it could to prevent it from happening. These dark forces have, as their ultimate goal, the undoing of the values and principles in our Declaration of Independence and rendering of our precious Constitution as nothing more than a piece of useless parchment paper, all in order to control absolutely "We the People."

    The Democratic Party, the progressive movement, the likes of George Soros, entrenched government elites, members of the Shadow Government saw the election of Hillary Clinton as the cement to consolidate power of the administrative state - the government that progressives have long hoped for. These groups of political elites and these multi-millionaires and billionaires, all believing that their kind have the right to power and the right to determine the future of this country view the rest of us as pawns, as mere putty in their hands who, with the right "incentives" will vote for their agenda and surrender in the process our precious liberties and our virtues. Virtues and principles and individual liberties, after all, must be surrendered for unelected individuals to assume total power.

    For those of us who can recognize the precarious situation facing our country right now, we also have noticed the trend that has gotten us to this point... the massive growth of a "dependency" culture, the massive expansion of an "entitlement" mentality, the persistent division of individuals along race, culture, gender, and sexuality lines, the increasing attacks on morality and the laws of nature, and the increasing immigration of those who don't have traditional "American values" as their primary reason for coming here. For decades, we have predicted these growing trends as an intentional design to erode our nation's foundations. "If conservatives are right about the importance of virtue, morality, religious faith, stability, character and so on in the individual; if they are right about sexual morality or what came to be termed "family values"; if they are right about the importance of education to inculcate good character and to teach the fundamentals that have defined knowledge in the West for millennia; if they are right about societal norms and public order; if they are right about the centrality of initiative, enterprise, industry, and thrift to a sound economy and a healthy society; if they are right about the soul-sapping effects of paternalistic Big Government and its cannibalization of civil society and religious institutions; if they are right about the necessity of a strong defense and prudent statesmanship in the international sphere-if they are right about the importance of all this to national health and even survival, then they must believe-mustn't they?-that we are headed off a cliff." [See James Downton's article in The Federalist at http://thefederalist.com/2017/05/19/watching-slow-motion-coup-detat/ ]

    If it looks like it, feels like it, smells like it, acts like it... we call it what it is...... TYRANNY.

    I can't help but sense a similarity to the John F. Kennedy administration. Kennedy vowed to "splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces." The CIA could not allow this to happen and the next thing you know, Kennedy was removed. The assassination of JFK let to a complete reversal of policy, particularly in foreign policy and with the Vietnam War. Many have termed the assassination (and a government conspiracy, as concluded by the Senate Select Committee on Assassination in 1979) "a coup d'etat with Lyndon Johnson waiting in the wings." (partial quote taken from the movie JFK). Trump has made it a point (indeed, a campaign pledge) to seek the dismantling of the administrative state. While the CIA during Kennedy's administration did not fight back publicly, the administrative state (the secret government) is clearly more than capable of fighting back and seizing additional power through leaks, fabrication, partisan loyalty, and incest with the media. The removal of Trump, according to their plans, can be accomplished by non-violent means. The American people, after all, are a one-issue people (abortion, gay rights, transgender rights, women's rights, illegal rights, entitlement rights) and are therefore without principle or sense of civic duty. They are meek. Conservatives may get angered, Democrats believe, but they quickly go back to their routines - living their lives and working; they don't have the time or the stomach for prolonged protest or resistance.

    In short, the powers that be are determined - and capable - of ensuring their survival. Since they couldn't achieve that end through the election of Hillary Clinton, they are prepared to go the more insidious route - the coup d'etat.

    If you are as concerned as I am and believe there is a sense of urgency to our current situation, I ask that you consider what we can do and what we MUST do. The witch-hunt against Trump is historic and the liberals will not rest until they over-throw the will of the people, effect a coup in this country and erect a government not of the people's choosing and not concerned with their legitimate issues. Real patriots would not allow this to happen. We have to assess all that is happening, what the counter-efforts are, what the likelihood is that their evil measures will be effective, and again, what we can or SHOULD do. "A good patriot must always be willing to defend his country, even against his government."

    "Is a government worth preserving when it lies to the people? It's become a dangerous country when you cannot trust anyone.... when you cannot tell the truth. I say 'Let justice be done, though the heavens fall'!" [Jim Garrison in Oliver Stone's movie JFK]

Is the concerted Democrat plan to obfusticate the purpose of government by the unprecedented delaying of President Trump's appointments, while galvanizing with the organized protesters' directive to obstruct the process of governing, at the federal level, working for the Democrat brand?
  Yes, Democrats will finally create a Socialist Progressive utopia if they remain banded together.
  No, the nation is in dire straits, on so many levels, and needs immediate repair.
  I'm busy with my important life, such as it is, and don't care.

You are so right Sarge, and well said in defense of Diane Rufino's treatise.

Did you ever think you would live to see the day when a political candidate is nearly indicted on a plethora of real felonies, but survives all because of her political connections, and then brazenly joins the ultra biased "resistance" movement against the candidate that won by a near landslide in the Electoral College, claiming that President Trump is "illegitimate".

Bad losers and bad Americans all around for these pathetic core Democrats.

A well presented opinion which a great many people share your views and fears. I am over 50 (well over), and would have never believed that currents events would have ever taken place in these United States. From openly biased media to the question purposely asked to promote ideas designed to end this presidency's administration and ultimately our Republic. They have done this by singling out individual targets and going after them with only accusations/innuendo/unnamed sources.
The former president's OFA is not loyal opposition, but cover for the structure of revolution. The losing candidate has openly declared she is in the resistance, not in the loyal opposition. Too many of our millennials have never studied civics and do not have a basic grasp of our form of government. They and so many of our judges believe that justice is what feels good to them and not a protocol of written laws(good and bad). The danger here is evident if unchecked. However, there are silent groups out there that will always support the Constitution.
If violence does breakout, God forbid, if the administration is driven from office maliciously I believe the good citizens lawfully sitting on the sidelines will have a voice in defense of their nation. The trouble for all concerned is once Pandora's Box is opened, no one can predict what will come out of it or how to close the lid. I worry that the nation and the Constitution I have pledged my loyalty to is in trouble and is being pushed to the brink.
