The Real Bombshell of the Impeachment Hearings by Ron Paul

The most shocking thing about the House impeachment hearings to this point is not a "smoking gun" witness providing irrefutable evidence of quid pro quo. It is not that President Trump may or may not have asked the Ukrainians to look into business deals between then-Vice President Bidens son and a Ukrainian oligarch.

The most shocking thing to come out of the hearings thus far is confirmation that no matter who is elected President of the United States, the permanent government will not allow a change in our aggressive interventionist foreign policy, particularly when it comes to Russia.

Even more shocking is that neither Republicans nor Democrats are bothered in the slightest!

Take Lt. Colonel Vindman, who earned high praise in the mainstream media. He did not come forth with first-hand evidence that President Trump had committed any "high crimes" or "misdemeanors." He brought a complaint against the President because he was worried that Donald Trump was shifting United States policy away from providing offensive weapons to the Ukrainian government!

He did not think the United States president had the right to suspend aid to Ukraine because he supported providing aid to Ukraine.

According to his testimony, Mr. Vindmans was concerned over "influencers promoting a false narrative of Ukraine inconsistent with the consensus views of the interagency."

"Consensus views of the interagency" is another word for "deep state."

Mr. Vindman continued, "While my interagency colleagues and I were becoming increasingly optimistic on Ukraines prospects, this alternative narrative undermined United States government efforts to expand cooperation with Ukraine."

Let that sink in for a moment: Mr. Vindman did not witness any crimes, he just did not think the elected President of the United States had any right to change United States policy toward Ukraine or Russia!

Likewise, his boss on the National Security Council Staff, Fiona Hill, sounded more like she had just stepped out of the 1950s with her heated Cold War rhetoric. Citing the controversial 2017 "Intelligence Community Assessment" put together by then-Central Intelligence Agency director John Brennans "hand-picked" analysts, she asserted that, "President Putin and the Russian security services aim to counter United States foreign policy objectives in Europe, including in Ukraine."

And who gets to decide United States foreign policy objectives in Europe?

Not the United States President, according to government bureaucrat Fiona Hill. In fact, Ms Hill told Congress that, "If the President, or anyone else, impedes or subverts the national security of the United States in order to further domestic political or personal interests, that is more than worthy of your attention."

Who was Fiona Hills boss?

Former National Security Advisor John Bolton, who no doubt agreed that the president has no right to change United States foreign policy.

Mr. Bolton is the one who "explained" that when President Trump said United States troops would come home it actually meant troops would stay put.

One by one, the parade of "witnesses" before House Intelligence Committee Chairman Schiff sang from the same songbook.

As United States Ambassador to the EU, Gordon Sondland put it, "in July and August 2019, we learned that the White House had also suspended security aid to Ukraine. I was adamantly opposed to any suspension of aid, as the Ukrainians needed those funds to fight against Russian aggression."

Meanwhile, both Democrats and Republicans in large majority voted to continue spying on the rest of us by extending the unpatriotic Patriot Act.

Authoritarianism is the real bipartisan philosophy in Washington,D.C.
