American Shadow Creatures Exposed: But Will the Empire Still Win the Day? by Matthew Ehret
It is rare in life to experience a sustained ray of light shine upon the shadow creatures that have so long perverted recent history. At times, a bit of light has shone upon these creatures, but never for very long.
From 1869-1872, the world got to see these creatures exposed when the first international criminal case occurred between Britain and the USA known as the Alabama Claims affair. The outcome of this case found Britain guilty of militarily supplying the Confederate South during the Civil War which nearly saw the dissolution of the Union between 1861-1865. While many supporters of Lincoln knew that vast Confederate operations in British Canada were vital in executing the war (and also guiding Lincolns 1865 assassination), international distractions and corruption from within America resulted in little more than a $15 million slap on the wrist while all sins were deemed forgotten and the shadow creatures went promptly back to work.
In 1934, the light shone again upon the shadow creatures when General Smedley Butler blew the whistle on a fascist coup plot led by the top echelons of the Anglo-American banking establishment against Franklin Delano Roosevelt. His exposure to Congress and the media again shed light onto the dark creatures crawling around inside of the United States of Americas soul and saved the republic from an early slide into fascism which certainly would have found itself allied with fascist forces of Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan and Britain during the course of the war that was yet to occur. While FDR survived his 1933 assassination attempt, 1934 coup attempt and prolonged war with Wall Street and the City of London, the light was kept focused upon the shadow creatures for a number of years.. but then he died before accomplishing his grand vision. His allies like Harry Hopkins, Henry Wallace, Dexter White, Sumner Wells and others who shared his anti-colonial vision to internationalize the new deal were targeted for destruction under the new Federal Bureau of Investigation-led fascism of the Cold War age and the shadow creatures again took power.
JFK, Malcolm X, Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. did their best to shine light upon the darkness and right the wrongs of this imperial impulse within the United States of Americas deep state (that really never left with the United Empire Loyalists in 1776).. but their candles were also snuffed out.
The common thread among the great American leaders of the 19th and 20th centuries mentioned above was their devout commitment to the principles enshrined in the United States of American constitution, and the internationalization of those principles in the form of anti-colonial programs for rail and industrial development for all peoples.
This traditionally American concept of a global system was premised upon certain principles of "open system economics", "win-win cooperation", interconnectivity with a focus on rail and the defense of national sovereignty. The British System of governance on the other hand was premised upon closed system, zero-sum thinking, monetarist, and antithetical to national sovereignty.
Beautifully describing this clash between two paradigms, Henry Carey who would become Lincolns leading economic advisor and champion of the spread of the American System globally stated in his Harmony of Interests (1851):
"Two systems are before the world; the one looks to increasing the proportion of persons and of capital engaged in trade and transportation, and therefore to diminishing the proportion engaged in producing commodities with which to trade, with necessarily diminished return to the labor of all; while the other looks to increasing the proportion engaged in the work of production, and diminishing that engaged in trade and transportation, with increased return to all, giving to the laborer good wages, and to the owner of capital good profits.. One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other in increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other we may be proud to call the American system, for it is the only one ever devised the tendency of which was that of elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world."
Russiagate: more than just another scandal
Today, as the world finds itself again caught between two opposing systems (multipolar vs unipolar), the light has found itself cast upon Americas shadow creatures as the scheme known as Russiagate which promised to undo the 2016 election and accelerate Americas war with Russia (and China) has lost those remnants of viability it once enjoyed.
In recent weeks, Richard Grenell (acting director of National Intelligence) put more water on the fires of the Russiagate myth by forcing the release of thousands of pages of testimonies and side evidence of 53 people including many high level Deep State operatives embedded within the Barack Obama state department, cabinet and Five Eyes intelligence apparatus. Upon inspection, many of these testimonies revealed that leading players of the effort to overthrow Donald Trump admitted to Congress that they knew of no collusion between the Donald Trump Campaign and Russia although continued to lie to the media for years that such collusion did exist. These testimonies and side evidence also revealed that Donald Trumps allies like Michael Flynn, Roger Stone and George Papadopolous were targeted for entrapment by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Central Intelligence Agency. Emails from the FBIs Counterintelligence head Bill Priestap were especially candid asking "what is our goal? Truth-admission or to get him to lie so we can prosecute him or get him fired?"
The released evidence also revealed that Mr. Comeys FBI not only held a meeting with Barack Obama and a team of officials in the Oval Office on January 6, 2020 to discuss entrapment procedures targeting Mr. Flynn, but Comeys Assistant Deputy Director of the FBI Peter Strzok proceeded to command the FBI to keep the "Operation Razor" investigation on Mr. Flynn open even though the department had publicly committed to dropping the operation on January 5 finding no evidence of Russian collusion after 3 months of surveillance. This extension gave Mr. Comey time to arrange the "casual meeting" between his agents Strzok and Bill Priestap in Mr. Flynns office on January 26, 2016 in order to discuss the content of Mr. Flynns discussion with the Russian Ambassador Kislyak wherein the General bit the bait and told the lie that he relayed his discussion to the Vice President.
All original notes of the meeting supposedly compiled by the two agents interviewing Mr. Flynn were promptly lost and replaced with heavily edited commentaries by Mr. Strzoks love interest Lisa Page who were both later caught red handed admitting to be the "resistance" committed to bringing down Donald Trump from within Washington,D.C. Other evidence made public in recent weeks revealed that three dozen Barack Obama officials and intelligence operatives made "unmasking requests" to the FBI-riddled Justice Department in order to make Mr. Flynns name public in the recorded transcripts with the Russian Ambassador.
All in all, Attorney General Barrs decision to drop all charges against Mr. Flynn (and hopefully Roger Stone who was similarly targeted) makes a lot of sense.
A Word on the Steele Dossier
Three years of investigations including the incredible Horrowitz report of December 2019 have demonstrated startling abuses of power from the FBI, and deep seated connections between the FBI and CIA with the DNC, Hillary Campaign, Perkins Coie (the DNC law firm) and MI6s Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS. Mr. Steeles dodgy dossier itself was funded by the Hillary Campaign and the DNC via the law firm Perkins Coie which also gave funds to Mr. Steeles American partner Fusion GPS on whose board sit figures such as the husband of Barack Obamas senior policy advisor Shailagh Murray, and the wife of the DOJs 4th highest official Bruce Ohr.
The fact that the blatant lies were compiled on the DNC-Clinton dime by British intelligence and then distributed to leading FBI-connected media mouthpieces like the NY Times, Mother Jones, Washington Post and Buzzfeed was not a coincidence and neither was the role of Mr. Steeles former boss Richard Dearlove who also acts as advisor to Mr. Steeles Orbis enterprise.
While running MI6, Sir Dearlove not only gave the world the dodgy "yellowcake" dossier in 2002 which justified the destruction of Iraq but was the figure who advised Mr. Steele to give the dossier to the United Kingdom government in the Autumn of 2016 and then send it to officials in the USA. It was in this manner that the dossier made its way into the hands of James Comey and James Clapper who leaked its existence via a memo to the National Endowment of Democracys David Kramer and Buzzfeed.
This dossier was not only was instrumental in justifying the FISA warrants used to surveil the Donald Trump Campaign- giving rise to the Robert Mueller witch hunt that contaminated three years of American history and did irreparable damage to United States-Russian relations, but also induced the late Cold Warrior John McCain to call for the activation of NATOs article 5 threatening to put the United States of America on a war footing with Russia.
There is no such thing as "former MI6".
Mr. Steele is such an ugly figure in this story that a few additional words should be said on the man who had served as the head of MI6s Moscow bureau recruiting and handling oligarchs and other spies during the dark days of the 1990s. After this stint, Mr. Steele acted as case officer of the anti-Kremlin journalist (and Boris Berezovsky employee) Alexander Litvinenko who turned out more useful dead than alive in 2006 with Mr. Steele being the first to lay the blame on Mr. Putin. Later, Mr. Steele acted as advisor to Victoria Nuland during the State Department-led overthrow of Ukraines government in February 2014. Very little that has been destructive during the past few years have been untouched by Mr. Steele as Newsweek even revealed that Mr. Steeles firm Orbis (which was used to compile the dossier along with Fusion GPS and on whose board sits Sir Dearlove) had direct connections with another Russian defector.. Sergey Skripal.
Upon his release from prison, George Papadopoulos had the wits to review his own experience as a target of this entrapment operation producing a book of extremely high value entitled Deep State Target: How I Got Caught in the Crosshairs of the Plot to Bring Down President Trump. In this book, Mr. Papadopoulos diligently reconstructs his experience with British and Italian intelligence networks centered around Sir Dearloves close friend and associate Stefan Halper who crafted an elaborate web of intrigue that was later used to entrap the hapless consultant into lying to the FBI.
In spite of these and other revelations of the injustices and abuse of power of the shadow creatures embedded within the heart of the United States of America, the myth of Russias takeover has continued in the psyche of dumbed down liberals who only knew how to shape their image of reality from MSNBC.
This is Not a Liberal vs Conservative Problem
What has become ever more apparent amidst this ongoing drama, is that this "deep state" is not categorizable as a creature of the left, as many Donald Trump supporters foolishly do. In fact, many of the most psychotic participants of this process find themselves among the so called "right" of America professing their public loyalty to Donald Trump while promulgating the myth of Russias enemy image (and obstruction of the true role of British Intelligence).
Key figures among this group who have played and continue to play a dangerous role as right-wing gatekeepers of the Empire include Donald Trumps former Advisor Steve Bannon who has lied repeatedly of Russian interference into the Donald Trump Campaign (even testifying that Roger Stone served as the agent between Donald Trump and Julian Assange), and also current Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
Mr. Pompeo has not only led a mission to destroy Julian Assange for over two years accusing him of being a stooge of Mr. Putin, but has also withheld vital information delivered to him by former NSA whistleblower Bill Binney with whom he met in October 2017 at the request of Donald Trump.
In this meeting, Mr. Binney presented the results of forensic studies he conducted of the DNC emails published on Wikileaks revealing that they were not subject to a hack but rather an internal download from within the DNC itself onto a thumb drive. In his affidavit to the Stone case, Mr. Binney restated the argument he delivered to Mr. Pompeo earlier saying: "Wikileaks did not receive stolen data from the Russian government. Intrinsic metadata in the publicly available files on Wikileaks demonstrates that the files acquired by Wikileaks were delivered in a medium such as a thumb drive". Had Mr. Pompeo made these findings known in 2017, the entire Russiagate affair could easily have been put to bed much earlier.
Even Crowdstrikes CEO Shawn Henry was revealed to have admitted in the newly released testimonies that his private firm (contracted by the FBI to have sole control over the DNC servers), could find no evidence of a hack.
Both Mr. Pompeo and Mr. Bannon are among the loudest of the droves of neocon sociopaths promoting war with Russia and China while projecting the weak image of their support of the confused and beleaguered President who has been labelled such a threat by those orchestrators of Russia gate for the simple fact of his 1) support of nationalism and industry within America and 2) his long-held support for positive relations with Russia and China.
If it were not for Russia and Chinas vital alliance, then no multipolar alternative to the collapsing western financial system would exist and any hope for salvation for the Middle East, Africa, Asia or even the western alliance would be nil by this point in time.
Donald Trumps very existence as an American force representing a tendency to avoid war, defend national sovereignty and collaborate with other nation states on building big projects around the world and in outer space, is itself an intolerable threat to the global empire which presided over the deaths of eight American presidents, and orchestrated every major war of the 19th-20th centuries.
This is the same empire that is currently putting every ounce of energy into the effort to convince Donald Trump that he has no choice but to take a hard line approach to China amidst the current coronavirus hysteria in order to win the upcoming elections, going so far as to condemn Xi Jinping as complicit in the spread of covid-19 and pulling the United States of America out of the Open Skies Treaty earlier this week.
When one traces back the origins of the anti-China line now promulgated by Mr. Pompeo, and Mr. Bannon (and unfortunately adopted by Donald Trump as of this week), we find ourselves right back onto the porch of British Intelligences own sophist Niall Ferguson. Another driving force behind the origins of the "make-China-pay-the-USA-for-causing-the-pandemic" formula is none other than Britains neocon Henry Jackson Society whose founding principles were signed by sir Richard Dearlove!
Donald Trumps decision to play such a dangerous game in order to "win elections" is beyond folly since no one in their right mind should even assume that a 2020 United States election will even occur under chaotic conditions of martial law which todays multifaceted crisis threatens to usher onto the world.
While the light shines ever more upon the shadow creatures within America, the time to act appropriately upon that exposed darkness is running out and only a strong commitment by the patriotic forces in the United States of America and other western nations to ally with Russia, and China in order to bring a new Multipolar system into being can put America back onto the tracks which such leaders as Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy had envisioned.
