Sidney Powell is no longer Trump's lawyer and the reason is not hard to see. If the US Presidential election was fixed by vote rigging voting machines running software developed by Communists in Venezuela, then there was either a failure by the CIA to detect an attempted overthrow of the United States Government by agents of a foreign government, or complicity. Either way, failure or treason, the President would have no no option but to seek the abolition of the CIA.
But Trump knows what happened to the last US President who talked of breaking the CIA into a thousand pieces: he died by a bullet to the head shortly thereafter. So in what looks like a concession to the CIA, Trump let Sidney Powell go. Trump's only hope of victory now is by the less hazardous and seemingly less certain route of the Supreme Court and the House of Representatives.

Jim Willie: Trump's Wildcard Is The US Military (Warning: crazy stuff — might be true)
And don't miss this: Who Will Win the 2020 Presidential Cup:
I believe in an earlier statement you mentioned you thought Trump had the military backing him. Since the election, I have felt there's been some confirmation of this because we've seen some generals informing us how the election was hacked. It might be all the military can do now is prevent Trump and his family from being murdered. What an incredible moment in world history.
ReplyDeleteIt's long but would be interested to know what you think of Jim Willie's thesis (see video added above).
DeleteThis is the best take I've see on this anywhere.
ReplyDeleteFor context, computerized voting was implemented mostly by establishment Republicans (such as the Bush administration) at the start of the 21st century, and whatever opposition came to it was from what was then the progressive left, which is pretty much dead now but that is the subject of another post.
Since the secret ballot was introduced in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, elections were held successfully with counted paper ballots, with only countries like the USA with a history of electoral chicanery deviating with the use of machines, punch cards, and the like. After the 2000 election the USA doubled down on the chicanery with computerized voting. The only reason to computerize elections, where we have a long history of carrying out elections with paper ballots, counted in view of election observers, is for intelligence agencies to manipulate the vote count.
So once Powell made her allegations, the story put out, even by Trump supporters, is that this was this woman saying all these crazy conspiracy stuff and ruining Trump's credibility. Actually intelligence agencies using computerized voting for election fraud is completely plausible, it happens all the time outside the USA. The problem is now you are publicly going against intelligence agencies. No politician wants to do this, for obvious reasons.
The election of 2020 in the USA happens to follow the pattern of elections in places like Mexico that are known to be stolen, so there is a chance, though a small one, of getting the courts to take action and convincing the public without bringing up the CIA for the computers. You might want to use the spook stuff in closed door meetings with legislatures, and the military as Yusef noted, with the argument that if not stopped now, these guys are going to be next on the list.
If Sidney Powell's claims about vote rigging are correct, what we have witnessed is a coup d'état. If that is correct, I don't see the plotters allowing the Supreme Court or any other civilian body to get in their way. The only counter to a revolution is a counter revolution, so things may get a lot more scary in the "Free World" in the months ahead.
DeleteUnknown, I was very struck, earlier, to realize Craig Murray's Assange extradition articles you linked toncontained a detailed deposition from one participant all about these shady software/voting manipulation companies. I am going to check again and verify Smartmatik or whatever it is called was one.
DeleteAssange's argument was he was a political prisoner and extradition laws don't apply to his case. Yeah, and the stuff about the crooked software manipulation was explosively political-- I thought. Now I see it as hydrogen bomb explosive with all the radioactive fallout coming from it, too.
There's also very good information put about my Edward Snowden, both from his releases and interviews he's made from wherever he is somewhere in the former USSR. (BTW, why wasn't Assange smart enough to go there instead of the Bolivian embassy in London? You can see Snowden remains in good health, while almost from the get-go Assange's took a real beating. Plus, they aren't going to expect cooperation to extradite Snowden from there, nor are they going to be able to apply the brass knuckles to weaken the grip, either.)
