Today, at the American Thinker Charlton Allen has the third installment in a piece entitled Anatomy of a Coup: The Obama Era Big Lie That Launched A National Delusion.
They didn’t just bury the truth. They built a monument to their Big Lie.
It’s a term the left loves to wield—usually against their enemies, never themselves.
But the real Big Lie was the con they ran on the American people: the Russia Hoax. And that monument? It’s now crumbling beneath a flood of declassified documents pouring into public view.
Yes, it matters in this moment. The truth matters. And despite the tired, flailing insistence that there’s “nothing new” here, there’s plenty we’ve learned—and much more still to come.
And so, Allen begins this installment. As to the "there's nothing new hear" part, there is everything new. We "knew" about the coup, but what we "knew" was constantly put down to conspiracy theory. "Where's the proof" they would say. And truthfully, there was no proof, only speculation, with the occasional whistle blower who was routinely shuttled off very quickly. It seemed the Left had won again, as it usually does.
So, with actual documents, and more to come, we see now the actual players, and what they actually did. And it is far worse than we thought.
The December that follows a presidential election is supposed to be a time of transition—especially after a hard-fought campaign. The American tradition holds that even in defeat, power is transferred peacefully and honorably. For years, the left has sermonized about the sacred duty of a “peaceful transition of power.”
There was nothing peaceful about December 2016. What unfolded was a deliberate, coordinated attempt to undermine—and ultimately destroy—the incoming Trump administration before it ever took office. It was sabotage on a historic scale.
The outgoing Obama team sought to compromise Trump’s ability to govern from Day One. In their bitterness, they were willing to paralyze the government itself.
They wanted Trump to fail—and with him, America.
That’s why this may be the most nefarious political scandal in American history.
And so they did what they always do: they cooked the books, silenced the dissenters, and blamed their misdeeds on someone else.
The emphasis in the above quote is mine. I want you to mull over exactly what that means. By using Russia as the villain, they were willing to perhaps stir up the American people to war with Russia over a lie. Now Russia is a nuclear power and when pressed, is likely to use nuclear missiles rather than suffer defeat. Who could blame them. But these people risked that because they lost an election. Think about that.
It may be that Obama will never be prosecuted. Mrs. PolyKahr, unlike me, is against prosecuting an ex-president for things that may have been within his purview as president. I think these documents make it pretty clear that these actions were beyond the pale. But in any case, Brennan, Clapper and Comey were all guilty and do not have presidential immunity. They should have told Obama 'no.' They can and should be held accountable. The country needs to see that there is actual justice for betraying the American people. Moreover, the country needs to see that Democrats too can be prosecuted.
Gentle readers, please read all of Allen's article, and if you are having a rainy day like I am, read parts 1 and 2 as well.
