Deep State Forces of Chaos and Anarchy Unleashed on the Republic Like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

THE REAL QUESTION TODAY IS WHAT IS A "CREDIBLE" WITNESS. That may seem like a silly question, but when we are considering Lisa Page and Peter Strzok and their separate testimony covering the same field of evidence, "credibility" becomes the key factor. • The Free Dictionary defines "credible witness" as : "a witness whose testimony is more than likely to be true based on his/her experience, knowledge, training and appearance of honesty and forthrightness, as well as common human experience. This is subjective in that the trier of fact (judge or jury) may be influenced by the demeanor of the witness or other factors. • A "credible witness" is defined in US case law in very simple terms -- "A credible witness is one who is competent to give evidence, and is worthy of belief." • In deciding upon the credibility of a witness, it is always pertinent to consider 1. Whether he is capable of knowing the thing thoroughly about which he testifies. 2. Whether he was actually present at the transaction. 3. Whether he paid sufficient attention to qualify himself to be a reporter of it; and 4. Whether he honestly relates the affair fully as he knows it, without any purpose or desire to deceive, or suppress or add to the truth. • • • LISA PAGE TESTIFIES IN A CLOSED-DOOR SESSION. Fox News reports that : "Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page was 'cooperative' and 'credible' in the closed-door session Friday with select House committee members that lasted nearly five hours." Lisa Page was appearing before a joint investigation run by the chairmen of the House Judiciary and Oversight committees. Representative Mark Meadows, a North Carolina Republican, who had been among Page’s harshest critics heading into the session, said her cooperation “speaks well of her,” according to TheHill. Meadows said he thinks the American people “would be happy” with Friday’s transcribed interviews, the Washington Post reported. Meadows added : "She’s been willing to help in the spirit of transparency....We’ve certainly learned additional things today.” Meadows later tweeted : "Remarkably, we learned new information today suggesting the DOJ had not notified Lisa Page of Congress' outstanding interview requests for over 7 months now. The DOJ/FBI appear to be continuing their efforts to keep material facts, and perhaps even witnesses, from Congress." The New York Post reported that : "Page defied a subpoena last Wednesday and would have been held in contempt of Congress had she not appeared at Friday's session, lawmakers said. In the private testimony, she primarily answered questions about text messages with Peter Strzok that allegedly showed bias against then-candidate Donald Trump." • Meadows summed up the reaction of the House ocmmittees as he left the hearing, calling Page a “credible witness....There is new information. And that information is credible. She’s doing her best to help us find the truth and I think in ways she’s been falsely accused of not being willing to cooperate." • Other committee members had additional reactions to Lisa Page's testimony. Representative John Ratcliffe, a Texas Republican, said Page has been more cooperative than Strzok in her interview, offering lawmakers "plausible answers" and "plausible explanations," according to ABC News. Ratcliffe tweeted : “The overriding issue for us today is, will her testimony match up with his testimony?” Florida Republican Matt Gaetz was concerned that the FBI attended the hearing with Page. GOP Representative Steve King said several blanks were filled in by Page. Gaetz told The Hill: "“Lisa Page is not an FBI employee, but the FBI was here providing counsel and giving her direction as to which questions to answer or not answer and there is a question as to the propriety of that before the House.” Gaetz added : "I didn’t agree with her characterization of every text message and every piece of evidence. But we did not see the smug attitude from Lisa Page that we saw from Peter Strzok.” Gaetz later said that Page's answers "heightened my concern that the processes at the FBI were contrived to fit the desired outcomes of people who were biased in favor of Hillary Clinton and against Donald Trump." • Lawmakers wouldn't speak about the content of the session, but they believed a transcript of the interview should be made public, the New York Post reported. Page returned for more testimony on Monday afternoon in another closed-door session. • • • HOW MUCH DID LISA PAGE TELL CONGRESS? For that, let's go to an independent source -- the UK Daily Mail. The Daily Mail reported that Republicans on the committees said Lisa Page gave them new leads in her secret testimony. The Mail noted that Representative Louie Gohmert said Lisa Page was so cooperative that at times the FBI lawyers in the room tried to shut her down : "There were times the FBI lawyers would be reaching for the button to mute her comment and she would answer before they could mute her comment." Gohmert said the House committee that questioned her got new insights into how the FBI handled the politically-sensitive probes : "She has given us more insights to who was involved in what." • The exchange of over ten thosand emails between Page and FBI agent Peter Strzok is at the center of Republicans' investigation of possible bias in the FBI as it handled investigations into Russia's role in the 2016 election and Hillary Clinton's email server. • Page and Strzok are at the center of Republicans' look at possible bias in the FBI. GOP lawmakers are using the anti-Trump texts between the two as a justification for their probe. FBI agent Strzok testified in a public hearing last week about his anti-Trump texts during the 2016 election. Ratcliffe said that : "In many cases, she admits that the text messages mean exactly what they say, as opposed to Agent Strzok, who thinks that we've all misinterpreted his own words on any text message that might be negative." • • • THE PAGE-STRZOK TEXT MESSAGES CONTINUE TO SURPRISE. Right Wing News quoted the Fox News report on the Page testimony, combining what insiders told it combined with Page-Strzok text messages. It is an eye-popper : "Uh oh, it looks like we may now have proof Barack Hussein Obama was involved in the early stages of the Trump-Russia Probe. 100 Percent FedUp is now reporting that Fox News has exposed the details of a bombshell that dropped yesterday. Of course, no one in the media was even paying attention because it implicates the 'Messiah.' During a Fox Business News segment yesterday Elizabeth MacDonald revealed that newly discovered text messages from October, 2016, prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that Barack Hussein Obama’s White House was involved in the early stages of the Trump-Russian probe with the fired AG Andrew McCabe and disgraced FBI agent Lisa Page." • Here are the text messages : (1) “October 14, 2016 -- Lisa Page to Andrew McCabe : “Just called. Apparently the DAG now wants to be there, and the WH wants DOJ to host. So we are setting that up now. We will very much need to get Cohen’s view before we meet with her. Better have him weigh in with her before the meeting. We need to speak with one voice if that is in fact the case.” (2) October 19, 2016 -- Lisa Page to Andrew McCabe : “Hey can you give me a call when you get out? Meeting with WH counsel is finally set up and I want to talk about timing. Thanks.” • MacDonald told her viewers that Fox News’ Catherine Herridge was the first to break the story. Then she went on to confirm : “So, despite all the denials, the Obama White House was, indeed, involved at the very early stages of what was going on with Trump-Russia.” • The Conservative Daily Post said : “Newly released documents show that former President Barack Obama‘s White House lied about being involved in the early stages of the Russia witch hunt, according to The Gateway Pundit. • In fact, as House committees have long suspected but couldn't prove, ”spygate” as launched months before the FBI even formally opened its investigation into alleged collusion between President Trump and Russia during the 2016 presidential election, and documents show, according to what TheHill columnist John Solomon told Sean Hannity on Thursday, that Obama’s White House was trying to take over the scam Russian-collusion probe months before the FBI formally opened the investigation. • Solomon pointed to two major clues that prove Obama was far more influential in triggering the probe into Trump than many ever knew. First, Solomon revealed that Peter Strzok and Lisa Page wrote in a text message : “The White House is running this.” This happened under fired FBI Director James Comey, who was undoubtedly aware of the entire operation. Second, Solomon said the Obama White House began efforts to target and reach out to Trump campaign officials to gain intelligence months before the FBI had an official “predicate.” Federal law states that the US government can’t use confidential sources until they have a predicated investigation. Solomon said Obama’s team was using sources who were providing information to the Obama White House well before July 31, 2016, which is when the FBI officially launched its investigation (the predicate). • Earlier this year, we had reports that the FBI spy embedded into Trump’s 2016 campaign was Stefan Halper, a University of Cambridge professor who previously worked as a CIA operative. He is currently an informant for the FBI in counterintelligence operations and is deeply connected to the Clintons. He’s also, according to the Conservative Daily Post, a serial liar. Halper can join the club -- the Obama White House lied about being involved in the Russia probe months before the FBI officially launched its investigation and the Obama administration skipped over the detail of constitutional rights and immediately launched a spy campaign against Trump, with the clear goal of falsely portraying him as guilty for colluding with Russia. As Solomon noted on Hannity, we are arguably talking about the biggest scandal in modern political history, and there many more secrets that remain hidden.” • • • BUT, THERE IS ANOTHER PAGE-STRZOK EMAIL BLOCKBUSTER. And, it is one that congressional investigators have been trying to decypher for some time. Lisa Page apparently helped them during her testimony. American Thinker's Thomas Lifson revealed on Friday that : "The Mueller special counsel investigation was launched to probe charges that the key FBI officials developing evidence in the case thought were baseless. That's a bombshell accusation that appears to have been confirmed by lovebird-turned-songbird Lisa Page, according to John Solomon. It tends to confirm the suspicion that the Mueller probe is a cover-up operation to obscure the criminal use of counterintelligence capabilities to spy on a rival presidential campaign and then sabotage the presidency that resulted." • Lifson says that : "Earlier reports indicated that Page has been answering questions from the House Judiciary Committee quite frankly and may even have cut a deal selling out her ex-lover Peter Strzok over their professional misbehavior (and quite possibly worse) in targeting the campaign and presidency of Donald Trump with the intelligence-gathering tools of the FBI. Last night, John Solomon of TheHill revealed that he has obtained information from sources who heard Page's testimony in two days of sworn depositions behind closed doors that she offered a bombshell confirmation of the meaning of one of the most enigmatic text messages that the public has seen (keep in mind that there are many yet to be released)." • Lifson summarizes Solomon's revelation : "Writing in TheHill, Solomon explains : '[T]here are just five words, among the thousands of suggestive texts Page and Strzok exchanged, that you should read. That passage was transmitted on May 19, 2017. 'There's no big there there,' Strzok texted. The date of the text long has intrigued investigators : It is two days after Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein named special counsel Robert Mueller to oversee an investigation into alleged collusion between Trump and the Russia campaign. Since the text was turned over to Congress, investigators wondered whether it referred to the evidence against the Trump campaign. This month, they finally got the chance to ask. Strzok declined to say -- but Page, during a closed-door interview with lawmakers, confirmed in the most pained and contorted way that the message in fact referred to the quality of the Russia case, according to multiple eyewitnesses. The admission is deeply consequential. It means Rosenstein unleashed the most awesome powers of a special counsel to investigate an allegation that the key FBI officials, driving the investigation for 10 months beforehand, did not think was 'there.' " • • • AND WHAT ABOUT PETER STRZOK? I suppose we could say "hell hath no fury"... but I suspect that only tells the tiniest part of the Page revenge play. She is obviously going to do whatever it takes to save herself and her license to practice law. And, Peter Strzok is the Meathead in her way. Look out, Meathead. • Of course, Strzok didn't do much to help himself. His smirk, Lon Chaney bulging eyeball stare and barely controlled anger and -- yes, we can say it -- hatred for the Republicans on the House committees finally boiled over and he lost it, spitting out a venomous tirade against Donald Trump that froze Strzok's face into a devil's mask of evil, with his words becoming an incantation from the depths of hell. • The ProgDem media has not shown it, but it was an explosion of hatred and unholy self-justification. • But, Peter Strzok forgot that there was Lisa Page to come. She, probably by design, refused a subpoena to testify before Strzok. She agreed to appear at a CLOSED-DOOR hearing after his PUBLIC testimony was all over the media. That is known as taking care of Number One. And letting the Meathead dodge as best he could the bullets she was preparing. • American Thinker's Elad Hakim, a writer and a practicing attorney, writes that : "Peter Strzok was so busy remembering his lies when he testified in front of Congress that he forgot one important piece of information. His better half, Lisa Page, had not yet testified; she owed him absolutely nothing; and the two were never married! In other words, there is nothing that he can do to prevent her from testifying against him. As he sat in front of Congress with a pompous smirk on his face, Lisa Page was probably salivating -- not for him, but for the treasure trove of information she had against Mr. Strzok, Mr. Comey, and some of the other 'players' allegedly colluding against President Trump (then candidate Trump). Obviously, Ms. Page was well aware of where Mr. Strzok's testimony was false. As a seasoned attorney, she also knew that some of his lies would provide useful ammunition or bargaining chips for her down the road....As a matter of fact, during her closed-door deposition and questioning, Ms. Page allegedly indicated that the anti-Trump texts between her and Peter Strzok mean 'exactly what they say.' This is in vast contrast to Mr. Strzok's testimony, where he claimed that the anti-Trump texts were an expression of 'deep patriotism' and not evidence of bias. It is hard to imagine that Mr. Strzok did not think about this possibility before testifying in front of Congress. Did he possibly think that Ms. Page would risk her career and the rest of her life for the sake of a 'fling'? Did he think she would protect him if she was offered immunity for information or testimony potentially implicating him and others?" • To make matters worse, Strzok spent the majority of his own ten hours of testimony not answering questions. According to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, Strzok ducked many uncomfortable questions on the advice of his FBI-appointed lawyer : “Unfortunately the FBI counsel in the room has instructed Mr. Strzok not to answer many, many questions, and that’s going to be a serious problem moving forward. So we will be raising questions with the FBI and the Department of Justice about why it is that their counsel is instructing Mr. Strzok not to answer questions.” According to Goodlatte, Strzok was responsive to many of the questions lawmakers had about the investigation and about his texts with Page. Where he clammed up on advice from the FBI, however, was when congressmen began asking him about how the Trump collusion investigation got its start in 2016. Goodlatte said : “They are advising him not to answer those questions. I think that’s inappropriate and certainly not helpful to our investigation in the Congress.” • • • Dear Readers, what is becoming more and more clear is that the FBI and the Justice Department have gone to great lengths to cover up the factors that went into starting the Trump/Russia investigation. So, we cannot be surprised that Strzok would refuse to answer such questions. The FBI and DOJ are protecting themselves because as we are learning, the factors that led to to decision to go after Trump lead to tthe highest echelons of the FBI (Comey and Mueller), the DOJ (Lynch and Rosenstein) and the White House (Clapper, Rice, Brennan, and apparently Obama). There is nothing Strzok or Page or Comey or Mueller or Lynch or Clapper or Brennan or Rice or Obama can do or say to escape the condemnation of the American people. Nothing. The ugly truth is that they conspired to overthrow the United States govenrment. History will judge them for that, even if they somehow escape their just punishment here and now. the "credible" witness seems ot be Lisa Page -- not that she is innocent but that she is speaking truth from experience. • All of them were the forces of chaos and anarchy unleashed on the Republic. Like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, they descended in fire and fury to destroy not only President Trump but the American Constitution and Republic. The Four Horsemen rode forth on white, red, black, and pale horses, symbolizing Conquest, War, Famine, and Death. Their unleashing is told in Revelation 6 (KJV) : "And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse : and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him : and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red : and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another : and there was given unto him a great sword. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse : and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth." • We have been warned.

  1. This clash between the extreme, radicle Socialistic Deep State and the followers of our Fore Fathers and the Republic they our together for us. This Centuries old battle between good and evil. Will in the end be won by the good for possibly many reason, but one that sits at the top-SURVIVAL.

    Everyone wants to survive. But everyone doesn’t have a reason to survive.

    The athlete that isn’t the likely winner, wins because he has a reason to win. He wills himself to win over all odds. Take me fir instances, I should have fallen by the way a long time ago. But for some reason my will to survive, my inner self wasn’t going to be defeated.

    The struggle we are in today with evil is going to be a most difficult struggle to be victorious, but we will. We will because of our connections with God, because of our Fore Father’s DNA that’s our DNA. Because to lose would be a loss for all who came before us and sacrificed their lives and fortunes, and never thought of losing, not once.

    We must all decide what our reason is to survive

  2. Looking back over the week, from Brussels to Britain to Helsinki, President Trump’s message has been clear, consistent, and startling. NATO is obsolete. European allies have freeloaded off U.S. defense while rolling up huge trade surpluses at our expense. Those days are over. Europeans are going to stop stealing our markets and start paying for their own defense.

    And there will be no Cold War II.

    We are not going to let Russian President Putin’s annexation of Crimea or aid to pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine prevent us from working on a rapprochement and a partnership with him, President Trump is saying. We are going to negotiate arms treaties and talk out our differences as Ronald Reagan did with Mikhail Gorbachev. Helsinki showed that President Trump meant what he said when he declared repeatedly, “Peace with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing.”

  3. C.L. Lewis is one of my favorite writers was blunt with his advice. In the middle of England most dire times against Nazis Germany (we did at one time call evil by its name) Jack Lewis bravely wrote and delivered a series of intellectual and spiritual public and radio address and essays all with war as the theme, civility of , order to, purpose and ethics collectively. Each writing questioned the British to possess fortitude in their struggle against the German National Socialist threat, but, equally important, to understand why the war mattered so deeply at the level of Western civilization and humanity (a brilliant question to ask a citizenry about to become literally history).

    Physical lives mattered, Lewis knew, but eternal souls mattered more. If the English should somehow mimic their enemy in the Second World War, all the sacrifices in the world would mean something far worse than nothing. They would amount to aiding evil itself, an evil that would now be associated with the British as well as with the National Socialists.

    I believe it was the same warning that Socrates told Crito that any adoption of evil corrupted the good, the individual soul as well as the harmony and order of society. At the time of Lewis’s passing Alexander Solzhenitsyn recognized that those Russians the Soviets murdered immediately upon arrest had the better deal. To survive arrest meant nothing but prolonged bitterness, hatred, self-doubt, self-loathing, and temptation in the Gulag. Few spiritually survived its tortures, especially in their desire to cheat death. They betrayed not only their neighbor, but themselves. All, of course, as the Soviets had desired in their millions of victims, all ideologies, the greatest of twentieth-century Russians, reminded us over and over, flourished on the blood of their torture chambers and death camps.

    Lewis had certainly been a patriot in the WW I, and he was determined to be a prophet in the second, as Solzhenitsyn spoke against (and paid a hefty price for doing so) his Russian leadership. Both spoke of nothing short of brutal when dealing with those whom they consider ill ordered in the good society. Having no meaning or purpose themselves, they willingly bring ruin upon all.

    My point in what is occurring all around us today in the sliding acceptance of even the mildness manner the evil dominance that Socialism brings to our lives and by dealing with this evil our lives are forever altered, and once altered never to see the light of yesterday’s past. For the sake of our national existence I stand ready to endure the loss of liberty; but not ready to endure it for anything less.
